Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Jinglin Chapter 92 Zhu Guo's secret spy
This case was ordered by the new Dali Siqing to be handled by the city government, so Shen Tianhe was extremely concerned and wanted to ask carefully about everything.
"Back to the city lord, today two businessmen dressed up and entered the drunken red mansion, threatening to see Xu Qianqian, after going upstairs to talk, one of them went downstairs to give the woman a bunch of silver tickets, and simply bought the drunken red mansion." The bustard briefly explained the matter.
"So, it's these two people's money."
"It should be."
"Do you recognize these two?"
"Back to the city lord, the people haven't seen these two people."
Groaning slightly, Shen Tianhe secretly said in his heart: Since he has already received the ransom of the old bustard, this case must also have an explanation to Dali Temple, as for who bought the drunken red mansion, it shouldn't matter much.
"This is your pardon, from now on, you will be free again, and you don't have to report to the city again."
Holding this piece of paper, the old bustard kept kowtowing and thanked him: "Thank you city lord, thank you city lord, the folk woman has retired." ”
After a few days in prison, she seemed very jealous.
Leaving the city, the old bustard's miserable appearance immediately disappeared, replaced by a hideous face with anger.
"In vain, do you think you can hide my eyes by dressing up?"
Having received the pardon, the bustard believed that no one would stare at her anymore.
After Jinglin went around and around aimlessly, it was getting late, and the old bustard confirmed that no one was following, so he turned around and entered a tavern, and the signboard on the door read: Lu Ji Tavern.
It's still the same guy, at the end of the day, he's busy cleaning the shop and preparing to close.
"Man, I'm going to buy wine."
"It's sold out today, and the guest will come back tomorrow." The man replied without raising his eyes.
The old bustard smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said word by word: "I want to buy wine, buy wine that is not available in this world." ”
Hearing this, the guy looked stunned, straightened up and said, "How much does the guest officer want?" ”
"Ten catties, eight taels, seven cents, three cents, the gods drank it." The old bustard replied.
"Si Fan must also pass the heavens." The man said again.
"It's in vain for the Jade Emperor to come in person." The old bustard replied.
The man put down the broom in his hand, closed the door of the shop, and bowed to the old bustard: "Envoy, please come inside!" ”
The bustard's name is Xia Anmei, and she is Zhu Guo's secret spy lurking in Jiang Guo, and this Lu Ji Tavern is the general stronghold of Zhu Guo's secret spy.
The boss of Lu Ji's signboard, as early as the beginning of its establishment, has been taken down by Zhu Guo's people, forty years ago this store has been controlled by Zhu Guo, the current boss "Lu Dacheng", naturally not the real Lu Dacheng.
Due to the long time, Lu Dacheng's wine-making skills are indeed superb, and Zhu Guo's secret spy acted in Jiang Guo in a low-key manner, and did not make any big moves, so Lu Ji Tavern has been safe and sound, and it has not aroused the suspicion of the royal family.
In the account room, Lu Dacheng crackled and dialed the abacus, carefully calculated the accounts, and saw that the guy brought someone in, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Didn't you say that when I settle accounts, don't bother?"
The guy was just about to reply, but was stopped by Xia Anmei, and she said two words herself: "My lord!" ”
Hearing this title, Lu Dacheng was shocked, and immediately raised his head, seeing that it was Xia Anmei, he quickly stood up, walked to the store to take a look, and saw that the guy had closed the door, so he was relieved.
"Go to the outer hall and keep watch, and no one is allowed to come in."
"Yes." The man took the order.
"Don't worry, my lord, no one is following." Cheyenne May said.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say that you can't meet unless it's an emergency? Lu Dacheng complained.
"My lord, the drunken red mansion has changed hands, and I have no place to live, if I don't come here, can I go back to Zhuguo directly?" Cheyenne May replied.
Lu Dacheng was speechless, and then said: "The Drunken Red Mansion was made like this by us, if the 'Xuanwu' Lord is to blame, we can't eat and walk around, but he spent a lot of effort to buy it." ”
"Ugh." Xia Anmei sighed: "I don't want either, the autumn feast of each session can more or less make these powerful children of the country dislike each other, but I didn't expect to kill people this time." ”
"I heard that you went to the city jail?" Lu Dacheng seemed to remember something, and immediately looked at Xia Anmei with vigilant eyes.
Seeing this, Xia Anmei replied dissatisfiedly: "What, my lord, do you suspect that I have betrayed?" ”
Lu Dacheng was noncommittal and did not answer her words directly, but his gaze made Xia Anmei more and more uncomfortable.
"If I mutinied, you would have already been arrested in the Tsing Yi Division, and you can still sit here and count the money?"
"Perhaps, they just put a long line to catch big fish, and want to use you to catch the 'Xuanwu' adult?" Lu Dacheng continued to probe.
"With all due respect, my lord, your suspicions are not valid at all."
"Why?"
"I haven't seen the true face of Lord 'Xuanwu' at all, not to mention that since I set foot on Jinglin, I haven't had any contact with him at all, how can I fish out? Do you think that if I defected, the patriots would believe me these words? ”
"Since I don't believe it, what reason do they have to let me go, just torture me and ask where the stronghold is, which is the most important thing for them."
After some rhetoric, Lu Dacheng dispelled most of his doubts, and he could judge from the other party's expression that Xia Anmei was not lying, and then his face softened slightly, and he said: "I'm sorry, I have to be more attentive to what we do." ”
It seemed that he was still not very happy with Lu Dacheng's attitude, Xia Anmei did not say anything about his apology, and walked to the table and poured a cup of tea and drank it.
"Do you know who bought the Drunken Red Mansion?" Lu Dacheng could only continue to ask.
"People from the Qi Palace."
"Oh? Are you sure? Lu Dacheng asked.
"Sure, although they have disguised, that person has been to the Drunken Red Mansion many times, and he has also clashed with me, ordinary people may not recognize him, but I can see his disguise at a glance." Cheyenne May replied.
In fact, Li Feibai didn't plan to hide it from Xia Anmei, because it didn't matter if she knew that it was the Drunken Red Mansion bought by King Qi, otherwise with Li Feibai's ability, Xia Anmei would not be able to see any flaws even if she was blind.
"Who's that man?" Lu Dacheng is out of the instinct of a secret spy, and he wants to ask about everything.
"His name is Bai Feili, and he is King Qi's personal medical officer." Xia Anmei snorted disdainfully, and added: "It's just a villager who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and the dog fights the power of the people." ”
"In vain, is it him?" Lu Dacheng was shocked.
"Why, you know him too?"
"Not long ago, someone from the Tsing Yi Division came, and it seems that they are investigating him, and it seems to be related to Liu Renfang's case." Lu Dacheng replied.
"Well, it seems, they didn't find anything, otherwise how would he be bouncing around now?" Xia Anmei was very tired of Li Feibai.
"King Qi bought the Drunken Red Mansion and didn't want people to know, why is this?" Lu Dacheng continued to ask.
