Chapter 45: Investigation
After Zhao Wen said these words, he looked at Yang Guang with a little trepidation, this kind of behavior of changing the master's orders without permission is quite taboo, if it causes Yang Guang's dissatisfaction with himself, it will be bad, he never wants to go back to the precarious days before.

After Yang Guang heard it, he praised a few words: "Well, it's done well." I'm training you two as right-hand men, and if you're just like marionettes in a puppet show, it's going to be boring to listen to and do one sentence. When you encounter things, you have to see and think more, and you have to have your own ideas. ”
"Yes, young master, I understand!" Zhao Wenru breathed a sigh of relief and replied respectfully: "You don't blame me for making my own decisions." ”
"How could I blame you?" Yang Guang smiled and said: "Zhao Wen, you have a good brain, you are the big housekeeper of this courtyard." Even I have to listen to you for the little things. Like the gentleman I hired for you, the cook I hired, if you are not dedicated enough to your work, you can even make the decision and find it again. ”
"And ah, didn't I leave you silver? The flower should be a childish one. As a joke, even if you two don't eat or drink, you can only save a few taels of silver a month. I can do any business here, and I will earn it back hundreds of times. ”
When Yang Guang said this, his tone changed solemnly: "But there is a sentence that you have to remember, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, I am often not by your side, and some things are scored by themselves." If you can't control yourself, like those gentlemen who are full of poisons, this life will be ruined. ”
After Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu listened, they solemnly stood up and bowed to Yang Guang, and said in unison: "Yes, Young Master Xie taught!" ”
"Just remember, come to eat, eat." Yang Guang took the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in Zhao Wen's bowl, and twisted a chicken leg for Zhao Wu, and then asked: "Since there are rich households for disaster relief, the life of the victims outside the city should not be so sad, right?" ”
"Well, the prefect is using the method of cash-for-work and is organizing the young and strong among the victims to build water conservancy." Zhao Wu's mouth was full of oil, and he said a little vaguely: "Anyone who goes to work has two steamed buns a day, and the porridge factory can receive porridge three times a day, a big bowl at a time, and it is no problem to save some drink to feed three or five people." ”
Seeing that the lives of the victims have improved, Yang Guang's mood has improved a lot, the last time he came, he wanted to do something for these victims, but he had to give up because of those people in black, now that his strength has improved, it's time to find these guys to collect some interest.
The next day, Yang Guang went out to disguise himself as a scholar, and bought a small house three streets away from the residence of those people in black, which was a safe house that Yang Guang had prepared for himself.
Safe houses don't have to be used to avoid danger in an emergency, but they can also be actively used to act as a firewall. Yang Guang has always used this place as a foothold in the process of launching the attack, and no matter what the outcome is, this house will be abandoned, cutting off all clues.
Yang Guang made it look like he was reading a book behind closed doors, but in fact, he used "summoning insects" to investigate the Sanjin garden where the man in black was in the same party.
Compared with the last time, there are now fewer residents in the garden, the two men in the west wing who are working hard with the size of the stone lock of the grinding plate are gone, and the gardener in the backyard has not seen it, only the hostess and her maid, plus the housekeeper and the manservant in the front yard, a total of 4 people.
Don't look at the decrease in people, but the remaining activities are more frequent, there is a good saying: "If something is abnormal, it is a demon", Yang Guang felt that there must be something in the big garden these days, otherwise it would be impossible to put on a posture like a great enemy.
Yang Guang memorized several "summon insects" spells, and used the most common and inconspicuous summoning ants to help him. The talent for summoning ants is "swarm", no matter how many of them there are, Yang Guang, as a summoner, can command them like an arm and finger like an ant queen.
This talent may seem weak, but once the number is stacked, the effect will be drastic and qualitative, Yang Guang continuously cast a spell to gather thousands of summoning ants, controlling them like mercury pouring into the ground, and conducting an all-pervasive search of the large garden of the men in black.
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. Yang Guang found a few traps painted in the color of tiles on the roof of the wing house in the front yard, and if someone accidentally stepped on it, it would definitely be bad luck.
In the flowers in the backyard, Yang Guang also found several nest bows, which were crossbows used by hunters to catch beasts, and the arrows were coated with medicine, arranged like traps, and stepped on them to shoot arrows.
Yang Guang doesn't know how powerful this thing is, but in the novel, even a tiger can't bear it, and it is estimated that if people step on it, it will not only be unlucky and cheap.
That night, Yang Guang found a clue, the manservant who was very powerful with a knife appeared in the backyard after dark with a food box and walked into a side room.
Yang Guang immediately ordered the ants to climb in and inspect the entire room, but could not find any valuable clues. Yang Guang was not angry, and used the method of waiting for the rabbit, leaving more than a dozen summoned ants to stay in all corners and wait patiently.
After waiting for half an hour, the wall cracked open to reveal a secret door, and the manservant came out of it with an empty food box.
With such an obvious directional clue, Yang Guang very easily let the summoned ants find the gap in the secret door and get in, walked more than ten meters away in the dark circling corridor, and summoned the ants into a relatively spacious place.
There are a total of 3 people in the basement dark room, and the gardener who practices kung fu with burnt red iron sand is among them, although he is now wearing the clothes of a subordinate, but his demeanor and actions have a kind of momentum in the upper position, obviously the so-called gardener is just a cover-up.
In addition to the gardener, there was also a scribe with three beards on his chin, and a monk with a fat head and big ears in a robe. The three of them seemed to be discussing something, but unfortunately the summoned ants didn't have the "humming" talent they didn't know about, so they had no way of knowing what they were talking about.
Yang Guang summoned a Zhizhi with "Summoning Insects", stayed by the secret door in advance, and wanted to blend in while the manmaid was delivering food, but he was discovered by the manservant because of the sound of flapping his wings after just moving, and cut Zhizhi into two with a backhand.
After the attempt failed, Yang Guang gave up this idea, if there is always something that is not in tune with this season several times, no matter how careless people will be suspicious, this is Yang Guang's magic weapon to find out the news, if the people in black are on guard, it will be difficult to get the information they need from it in the future.
