Chapter 119

Of course, the calm in Zhengnanfang was an illusion, and it was the result of Luo Fang's deliberate restraint of his subordinates; When the Song family was busy buying houses and hiring people, Luo Fang was not idle for a day, he was secretly watching Song Nan's whereabouts and habits, so as to facilitate the implementation of Song Nan's revenge plan.

As one of the many Dongchang soldiers, Luo Fang can stand out, in addition to his ability to figure out the mind of Shangguan, more importantly, he is a little shrewd, no matter what errand he does, Luo Fang thinks about it before he thinks about it, and he thinks that he will start after careful consideration.

This is also the reason why he has never been implicated in any case in the five years since he was transferred to the East Factory from Jinyiwei, many people who entered the East Factory at the same time as him, and now there are very few who are still in the East Factory, either by mistake gnawing hard bones, or being paralyzed and carelessly bitten back.

Luo Fang thinks very clearly, the identity of Dongchang Fanzi can naturally call the wind and rain with it, but it is also a double-edged sword, the officials of the DPRK and China are eager to catch their sore feet and suppress them, Dongchang is hateful to everyone, for the hundred officials, the secret agents of the East Factory are comparable to poisonous snakes, and the hundred officials are not vegetarians, and they will die if they catch their sore feet.

Many people are complacent, and suddenly find that the situation is reversed, and when things are tricky, Fan Heng will naturally push them off and blame these people for their own opinions, so they are inexplicably scapegoats.

In the matter of Song Nan, of course, Luo Fang must also think about it before starting, Song Nan must be removed, this is what Luo Fang thought about when he took over the position of the chief of Zhengnanfang, speaking of which, it is not interesting to kill a dog, and it does not show his ability; This Song Nan beat Tian Gui and his gang to hug their heads, and made Fan Heng lose his temper, it was a good opportunity for him to come to Zhengnanfang at this time, as long as he defeated Song Nan and reversed the situation, his status in Fan Heng's heart naturally soared.

The so-called way to be promoted is not to win the favor of officials, do what they like, and scratch their itches.

Luo Fang formulated several sets of methods, summed up in nothing more than two kinds of open killing and assassination, open killing is to take advantage of Song Nan's unpreparedness, waiting for the opportunity to remove him on the street in broad daylight, this method is very relieving, but was quickly vetoed by Luo Fang.

Not to mention that Song Nan went out and walked on the street with a few flag school peers, the success rate of this kind of open killing is worrying, even if he can kill Song Nan, this matter will definitely cause a stir; A dignified Jinyi guard deputy Qianhu was besieged and killed on the street, and the court must have been shocked; This is in the capital, such a big thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the emperor will not be able to hide it, and there will be a division to investigate the murderer desperately; And this method of killing people requires more manpower, which is not conducive to secrecy afterwards, and will eventually be investigated; At that time, he was also in trouble, and Fan Heng patted his chest to death.

However, it can only be done in secret, Luo Fang thought about taking someone to sneak into the Song family to assassinate at night, but the problem is that the woman next to Song Nan doesn't know the depth of martial arts, and there is a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi named Li Daniu who lives in the Song family, so it is inevitable to bring more people to invade, wouldn't this be as troublesome as Ming Killing.

After thinking about it, the method of entering the house and assassinating was also temporarily ruled out.

Luo Fang is not in a hurry, with his experience, there is always a chance to start, Song Nan is not a first-class official, a relative of the emperor, it is impossible to always have people around him, but he didn't find an opportunity.

After more than ten days of secret investigation, Luo Fang finally discovered a rule of Song Nan's life, that is, Song Nan would go to a small restaurant in Mao's Ear Hutong on the adjacent street of Jinyiwei Yamen in Zhengnanfang every few days to eat. And because this carp has to be transported from hundreds of miles away, it is not always available, every time a fresh carp arrives, the store will send someone to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to inform him, and Song Nan will be happy to go at noon that day.

After learning the news, Luo Fang was both happy and worried.

Happily, Song Nan is mostly alone every time he goes to dinner, and occasionally brings one or two flag schools to follow, it can be seen that this Song Nan is enjoying the alone time once in the past few days; I changed into civilian clothes and sat alone in the corner, eating delicious food while enjoying the street scene, which was quite a bit of a comfortable taste.

The worry is that this restaurant is only one street away from the Jinyi Wei Yamen, once the trouble starts, it will be difficult to escape the round-up of the Jinyi Guard, and if you kill someone, you can't escape, and you can't exchange your life with Song Nan with your own life, which is absolutely not possible.

Thinking about it, Luo Fang suddenly thought of a wonderful way to start, Luo Fang himself admired himself, this method kills people invisibly, and afterwards he can blame the restaurant, and he can escape safely, not a genius, how can he have such a genius idea?

……

One day at the end of October, two young men running the hall of the Sihai Restaurant in Mao's Ear Hutong did not come to work in the restaurant until the third pole in the day, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant Xu scolded angrily, and ordered someone to run to the home of the two to inquire, but saw that the two young men were lying on the bed with blue noses and swollen faces and could not move. When I asked, I learned that the two guys came home from work last night, and one was smashed with a brick on the dark street, robbed of two coins of silver, and was beaten up; The other one was even more outrageous, he got up in the morning and was just about to go out, but he was blocked in the yard by a few unknown men, insisting that he owed money and did not pay it back, and the guy was beaten and couldn't move during the argument, and only then did he hear those people say that they recognized the wrong person.

The shopkeeper laughed after receiving the reply, there are very few ruffians in Zhengnanfang recently, how can this kind of thing happen, but now is not the time to be anxious about this, it is about to be a guest, there are two less running guys, how can this do business?

Could it be that you can't serve the food with a tray by yourself? Although running the hall is not a hard work, but after running for a day, the calves and stomach have to turn tendons, and this old bone can't withstand this toss.

The shopkeeper was thinking of a way, and there were two cloth-clothed people at the door who looked inside, and asked while looking: "The shopkeeper, do you have a job to do?" Our brother hasn't worked for two days, and the family is almost unable to open the pot. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he asked, "You two are looking for a job?" ”

The two said, "Yes, do you have a job?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "I just lack two odd jobs to run the hall, do you want to do it?" ”

The two hurriedly nodded and said, "Do it, why don't you do it, just pay the salary." ”

Shopkeeper Xu smiled: "Why don't you pay the salary, let's say okay first, my two guys are sick, I invited you to work for a short time, the time can't be long, at most three or five days will be over, and I will give you half a penny of silver every day, just eat and drink, how about it?" ”

The two thought for a while, and the one with a black beard on his lips nodded and said: "It's done, although the salary is less, but it is also a temporary job, and by the third or fifth day, you have to keep us to do it, and it will not be possible if the salary is not raised." ”

Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile: "It's easy to say, come in and change your clothes, wash your hands and face, and do things right away. ”

The two laughed and said, "No, are we stupid?" ”

The shopkeeper Xu settled in his heart, turned around with a small tune, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to the guy in the store: "I went to the yamen next door, the big carp of the Yellow River arrived today, and Song Qianhu next door sent someone to ask yesterday, so I quickly informed him to go." ”

The shopkeeper went out humming a little tune, and the two new guys changed into their guys' clothes, looked at each other with a playful expression.

At noon, the small Sihai Restaurant was almost full of guests, but there was a sign standing at the table near the window, which read: This seat is booked.

Fortunately, there are still vacant seats, and the guests are not entangled.

There were many people and full of people, and the two new guys who ran the hall were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and the taller one cursed in a low voice, and kept covering his waist and beating him, and every time the thin man saw him like this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and the tall man was so frightened that he quickly gasped and continued to work.

The shopkeeper was very satisfied with the two new guys, the two of them were very nimble, and they were very diligent in greeting guests, as if they had seen the world, just thinking about it, when they saw a flash of people at the door, Song Nan in a cotton shirt appeared at the door.

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him personally, bowed and led Song Nan to the seat and said: "Song Qianhu, you do it first, the fish didn't dare to kill you, you like fresh, this is the kitchen to give priority to helping you get it, how about it, or the old rule, a bowl of rice wine?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "If you are tired, a bowl of rice wine is enough, and if you drink too much, you will make a mistake." ”

Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile: "It's still Song Qianhu who thinks about official business in his heart, and admires and admires it." ”

Song Nan smiled slightly, and the shopkeeper Xu stepped back with interest, beckoning the back kitchen to cook fish; When Song Nan sat there and squinted at the street scene, the two young men quietly hid in the dark corner of the entrance of the back kitchen and lobby and watched Song Nan.

"Captain Luo, is that him?" The tall man asked.

"That's right, the idea is here, be spiritual, don't show your face." Luo Fang said in a low voice.
