The cripple lives in Uptown.

Of course, the lame man is a lame man, but there are many lame people in the upper city alone, and there are even more lame people in the entire royal capital, but the people who really know him still call him lame, but most of the time, others call him Yiba.

The cripple sells news for a living, and he has been in this business for thirty years, five years ago he started operating in the royal capital, and now he is one of the most famous information dealers in the royal capital.

The news of the lame man is expensive among his peers, but because of his good reputation, his business has not been worried.

Yesterday a person came and wanted to inquire about the location of several paintings by Maharaja Monsantoro in the middle and late periods. Good guys, the current people are so bold that they even dare to fight the idea of the number one person in the royal family, Maharaja Monsantoro, and those few treasures from the middle and late stages of Punch. Others may not know how precious these paintings are of the Maharaja, but the lame man knows that even the Maharaja himself will not see these paintings several times a year. As for the location of the paintings, there is no exact statement.

If it weren't for the person's introducer, the lame man would have directly refused this job, after all, selling news does not mean omniscience, and those experts who reluctantly took over the work for the sake of their ability, most of the grave grass has no idea how much stubble it has grown.

But the introducer has been friends with the cripple for many years, and can even be said to be one of the cripple's best friends in this circle, so the cripple gritted his teeth and made an exception to introduce this guy to the old man.

If the cripple is one of the most famous figures in the intelligence circle of this royal capital, then the old fish is the legend in the hearts of these people.

The fish is a legendary fish, this fish often appears in various myths and stories of the world of Ploz, they know all the treasures in the ocean, the location of the evil beasts, and reveal the location of the treasures to tempt and reward humans, but also to deceive those who cannot withstand the temptation, evil people to the sea of evil beasts to deliver food. The reason why the old fish was able to get this nickname was because his behavior was very similar to that of the fish.

The real age of the old fish is unknown, judging by his appearance, he is about sixty years old, and in the world of Proz, ordinary people can indeed be called old if they can have this lifespan. According to himself, he has been in this business for more than 40 years, and because this time is so long, no one can say exactly when he began to operate around the royal capital.

Lao Yu is not really an intelligence monger, because he never "sells" information, if he wants to, he will share a piece of information with the people who ask him for help, otherwise, he may disappear in the blink of an eye, or he may tell you a fake news that is enough to cost you dearly. Although it sounds quite unreliable, the lame people agree that only they don't know and the old fish knows, and there is no information that they know and the old fish doesn't. It is precisely because Lao Yuyu does not do business that most of the people who seek information do not know his name, but only the first-class people in those circles know how to contact him.

At the time of the fire three, Fei Ping came to the door of the lame man's house on time, and it was these two who Ao Zongheng met in the restaurant of the Basar Street Hotel last night.

Big Fei Ping and Xiao Fei Ping are both the sons of Lao Fei Ping, Big Fei Ping, Xiao Fei Ping, Lao Fei Ping plus Lao Fei Ping, their three generations are all jewelry and art transactions, but the business details of the four grandparents are slightly different, the old Fei Ping is low to buy and sell high, making a lot of money, the old Fei Ping's vision is generally worse, buy high and sell low, and lose all the belongings, so after the big and small Fei Ping is in charge, he can only do the business of buying high and selling high.

Tip Ping knocked on the door three times, three times the first time, two times apart, three times every other time, three times every other time, and two more times at intervals. After a while, the door opened quietly, and there was no creak of most wooden doors opening and closing. The two brothers entered the door and closed it.

Half an hour later, the lame man walked out of the gate of another house more than a hundred miles away, and Fei Ping followed behind them, and the three of them kept a distance of about twenty miles. They walked through three avenues and then into the door of a house.

If this is the case, he has been in and out three times, and Fei Ping has long given up the idea of judging where he is, and can only roughly judge that he is still in the upper city through the surrounding buildings.

The cripple walked into a house that didn't look anything out of the ordinary, and Fei Ping hurriedly chased after him, ready to continue his journey through the building, underground.

"This is it, wait, until I call you to speak, be silent, and don't steal words. ”

Fei Ping is also a person who has seen the world, and after listening to the lame man's orders, he nodded and did not speak.

This house is not significantly different from the previous houses, about ten square (Loren Magaga area unit, one rosai is equal to thirty gongkun, equal to three thousand kun), the furniture in it is not much but complete, very similar to the layout of the houses where the freedmen lived, but there is a little less human habitation, obviously uninhabited, used as a cover house. Seeing the old man's caution and skill, the two brothers had more confidence in his ability.

Not long after, a voice came from behind one of the walls of the house: "It's you two, I want to know where Punch's painting is?"

Fei Ping is also a veteran in the industry, although he was startled, he calmed down in an instant, and saw that the cripple was signaling to himself, and this voice was the old fish, and he immediately admitted his identity.

Before coming, the cripple had already explained to them the style and preferences of the old man's words and deeds - this old man never met with insiders in a fixed place, and he would not show his face easily, he spoke without greetings and embellishments, concise and straightforward, and especially hated talking about people who were verbose and unrelevant.

"Do you know how much those paintings are worth?"

"If there are three works in the middle and late periods, no matter which three they are, the average black market price of each one is not less than 2,000 loren guilders." Da Fei Ping replied without any reason, he was in charge of finding targets, and he was naturally the most familiar with the price of things. Pang Qi is a famous master in the history of mainland art, the founder of the Pang Shan School, and has been dead for many years, his works are limited, although his middle and late period lacks genius works, but it is the most mature style, the most stable period of skills, any one will not be low.

"Well, you really understand the market, just you two brothers?"

"Uh...... Yes. Da Feiping hesitated for a moment but replied, no thief was willing to reveal the plan of action to others, but thinking of the lame man's explanation to himself, he still answered truthfully. But if the other party continues to ask about the details of the plan, he would rather let go of this transaction, although the money is precious, but his own life cannot be exchanged for any amount of money.

The old fish did have a question to ask, but it was not the two brothers who asked, "Cripple, you know my rules, if these two people miss, if it bothers me, I will look for you." ”

"Of course". The lame's answer was concise, but the respect in his tone was unconcealed.

Fei Ping followed the cripple down the hidden stairs on the floor, they got the promise of the old fish as they wished, thinking of the treasure location of several famous paintings that were about to arrive, but they didn't have to pay a high amount of information, the joy and excitement on their faces were simply undisguised, as if they had picked up a huge fortune that had fallen from the world.

The old fish watched it all through the peephole.

After waiting a little longer, to make sure that none of them would turn back, the old man came out of the mezzanine between the walls, ready to leave the house. Suddenly, he felt that there was a sudden new person in the place across the wall.

He wanted to go back to the mezzanine and see who this person was through the peephole, but the fact that this person could appear in the room out of thin air had made him not have the courage to do so, and he only wanted to enter the secret passage as soon as possible and escape before the other party broke the mezzanine wall.

But at this critical juncture, he was horrified to find that his feet seemed to be stuck in the rocks, unable to move. No matter how much he writhed his body, or tried to exert himself with the help of the doorway wall next to him, his feet remained still.

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill will." A man's voice came from the other side of the wall.

Of course, this man is arrogant.

He "overheard" Fei Ping's conversation last night, and his intuition told him that the lame man and the old fish that Fei Ping said should be the intelligence dealer he was looking for, especially the old fish, who was more likely to be the top person among them.

So he decided to take a ride - using Fei Ping to find the old fish.

From the moment Fei Ping left the hotel, he followed from a distance, although the lame man led them up and down, in and out for a full time, but this trick was useless for the arrogant who relied on his sense of qi and not on his eyes.

Just now, Ao Zongheng had been hiding in the tunnel under the floor of the house, listening to the movements in the house through the floor, so he knew very well that the old fish actually came earlier than the lame ones, but he kept watching the other party's movements through the peephole until he confirmed that it was safe. When he heard that Lao Niyu could even promise to get the location of the treasure painting of the Lord Monsantoro, he naturally did not doubt that the other party could get the collection location of the demigod directory, so he appeared to meet the other party.

On the other side, the old man has also calmed down from the momentary panic, although the other party's voice is unfamiliar, but since the other party has the means to easily restrain himself, he did not start, and he will not have any malice, so he said: "This gentleman has no malice, why is it to restrain the old man?"

"Hehe, I just think that you can't see me and I can't see you, it's better for everyone. ”

It makes sense for the old man to think about it, since the other party doesn't let him see his face, he must not have the heart to kill afterwards, "Then what does this gentleman want to inquire about me?"

Thinking that the other party must have been snooping on him a long time ago, he didn't bother to pretend to cover it up, and directly pointed out the topic. People who take such the trouble to reach out to themselves cannot have a second purpose.

The other party didn't surprise him, "Indeed, I want to ask about two things from the old gentleman, and if the old gentleman can solve my doubts, I will not hesitate to thank you." ”
