Chapter 26: Clues

Things were as Yang Guang expected, after giving 100 taels of silver tickets, all kinds of inappropriateness in the three of them were ignored by the monks of Daming Temple. www.biquge.info Although the monks in the temple themselves lived in poverty, they still took out a table of a slightly shabby but sincere meal, and arranged the best side rooms in the temple for them to rest.

In the dead of night, the exhausted brothers Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu lay asleep in their own wings, but Yang Guang sat in the room to sort out his thoughts and revise his original plan.

Taking Daming Temple as a safe house, Yang Guang's purpose is not only to hide and rest, but also to prepare to "become a monk" here and mix a ring, so that he has an identity that can withstand inspection, and he can also walk in all directions in the future, using the excuse of rebuilding the temple to buy wood in various places.

However, after accepting the two brothers Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu as domestic servants, Yang Guang had to consider how the two brothers would survive in the Ming Dynasty by buying wood and returning to modern time and space.

When he was on the road during the day, he chatted with the two brothers, and learned that the elder brother was sixteen years old, and the younger brother was fifteen years old after the New Year.

Yang Guang is ready to train the two brothers to be his right-hand men, which requires them to have a good physique first. In addition, it is necessary to ask someone to teach them to read and write, exercise their bodies, and lay a good foundation. All this is most convenient only in the bustling city of Yangzhou, so Yang Guang must come up with another idea to settle the two brothers in Yangzhou.

Fortunately, there are several excellent opportunities at the moment, the people affected by the great drought in Shandong go south, so many people leave their places of residence and it is impossible for them all to go to the government to run a road guide first, Yang Guang is ready to pretend to be a rich family from Shandong to buy a house in the city, he does not believe that a lot of silver is thrown out, and he can't find a place to stay in this Yangzhou City.

With these problems solved, Yang Guang began to think about the origin of those black-clothed men, he recited a spell softly, cast a "summon insect" spell, and a moth appeared in the chamber.

In fact, when those black-clothed people approached the courtyard last night, Yang Guang had already been awakened, and the moths he summoned had the talent of "night vision", even in a completely lightless environment, they could clearly see the surrounding things, and they were used to keep vigil.

Yang Guang gently pushed open the window and let the moth go out to guard himself. He uses Daming Temple as his safe house, but he doesn't trust the monks here, and he must beware of their greed.

Closing the window, Yang Guang cast a "light technique", and then opened the storage pocket and placed a large pile of things in front of him. These were all things he turned out of the man in black when he was cleaning up the battlefield last night. There must have been some omissions due to the short amount of time, but most of the belongings should have been in it.

Yang Guang relied on his memory to re-divide these scattered things into several piles, making sure that each pile was turned over from the same person. Then he carefully counted and identified these things, and quickly figured out the identities and backgrounds of the four men in black.

Man B, who was holding a short crossbow and guarding in front, carried more than a dozen kinds of medicine powder and pills on his body, and the underwear he wore was relatively high-end silk, and he smelled a strong smell of medicine. Yang Guang felt that this guy knew pharmacology, and he was either the owner of the herb shop or the more famous Langzhong, otherwise he couldn't afford to wear such good clothes.

The black-clothed man guarding the back door with a steel knife is powerful and can break the arm-thick deadbolt, but it is not just a few catties of brute force. It stands to reason that it is not difficult for such a character to get ahead, but his underwear turned out to be very rough and cheap linen, but he actually carried a fire gun that was absolutely expensive.

Yang Guang carefully examined the fire gun that had been cut in two, and found a distinct eagle pattern at the handle, and some jagged ripples next to it as decoration. Obviously, this is not the fire gun produced by the Ming Dynasty itself, but should have been obtained from merchants such as Franc Machine, so as to explain the origin of this European-style heraldic pattern.

In this era, firearms from the Franc machine are a rare commodity, not to mention the high price, and ordinary people can't reach it at all. Yang Guang recalled the situation when the man in black used the firearm last night, and felt that his movements were quite skilled, in other words, there must be a legitimate excuse to practice, after all, the noise of this thing was too loud.

Yang Guang thought that the black-clothed man might be a guard or a dart master, and then he checked the broken knife and found the words "Shenwei Dart Bureau" in the gauntlet, confirming his guess.

The two guys who blew secret cigarettes wore the same underwear materials and styles, and there were only three kinds of broken silver, wound medicine and secret smoke on their bodies, and nothing else.

They were killed by Yang Guang after being knocked down with "Falling Asleep with the Law Order", and the two sides did not fight, so it can be said that they died very aggrieved. However, correspondingly, Yang Guang didn't know anything about their skills and other information, and the clues were interrupted here.

These four men in black have different identities, obviously they usually have their own professions as cover identities, judging from last night's situation, they are skillful and closely coordinated, and it is definitely not the first time they have done this kind of thing.

Yang Guang took the silver ingot to the Chase number in the morning, and was killed by the man in black at night, which shows that they have their own intelligence system, plus a quick contact method.

After all, this is not a modern time and space, something can be called with a phone call, and if you want to find the right target in Yangzhou City, send a signal to gather companions, these two points are indispensable.

Yang Guang's first suspicion was naturally the driver of the carriage, this person saw everything from head to toe, and it was also convenient to pass on the news in his identity. If it was really him, Yang Guang felt that his luck was too bad, and he could win the lottery if he went out and found any one.

The rest is all related to the big pass number, the guards who carry the big wooden boxes, the account room that counts the silver taels, and the shopkeeper Wu who is in front of him and Gong, it can be said that everyone who comes into contact with the silver ingot and has seen Yang Guang is likely to release the news.

What's more, those people in black were simply sent by the Chase number, as the largest ticket number in the local area, how could they not have some secret deeds, businessmen from other places like Yang Guang, holding a lot of silver tickets but being alone, it is not strange that they were slaughtered as a fat sheep by the Chase number.

Eight thousand taels of silver is not a lot, but it is not a small amount, three or five a year, that is tens of thousands of taels of silver, a few years of accumulation will naturally be higher than other profits, rapid expansion, maybe the Chase number, the largest local name, is supported by this means.
