Chapter Forty-Six: Tang Liu (I)
At the beginning of its establishment, the Hanging Lan Fang existed as the eyes and ears of the dark house, but as the ministers complained about the Hanging Mirror Division, the Hanging Mirror Division used more and more money, and there were fewer and fewer secret agents in the dark place.
After all, except for a small number of people, for the most part, human beings do not want their most primitive instincts to be spied on by outsiders.
For the normal operation of other departments in the institute, Hanging Lan Fang has gradually become a place that focuses on business, and in order to ensure that this hen with rolling financial resources will lay golden eggs, the bigwigs in the institute are also tacitly slowly eliminating the elements of the intelligence agencies, so that all kinds of nobles who come and go can feel at ease.
As a result, the place where he could make credit while lying down has become a gentle township for Tang Liu, who has really eaten and waited to die to kill his will.
It stands to reason that even if Xuanlanfang has lost most of its functions as an espionage organization, but in the midst of a golden lump, Tang Liu should not be at a loss. But it's a pity that Tang Liu gritted his teeth and took out the opportunity to make a fortune with all his belongings. Now Fa Cai is a place to make a fortune, but Tang Liu was hired as a news collector, and money is no more than his hands. If he wants to make meritorious contributions, he can only rely on listening to the news of the "benefactors", and this must rely on the girls who are "intimate" with these guests, but for the girls, the guest officials are the foundation of their lives, so why should they help Tang to cut off his financial route?
If so, Tang Liu, who is penniless, has now ended up with no money and no power.
"Guo An!" Tang Liuxin gritted his teeth in his heart, "It will take one day, you cheat Lao Tzu, I will let you repay it a hundred times!" ”
At the beginning, as a direct superior, Guo An of the Hanging Mirror Division was the top boss of their bunch of supernumerary personnel, responsible for arranging their whereabouts, in order to mix better in the future, Tang Liu gritted his teeth and bribed Guo An as soon as he was released from prison, in order to have a good place to get promoted quickly and make a fortune, but now it seems that he was pinched by the other party.
However, Tang Liu looked at Lou Yuqin in front of him, one day, he would let the other party know that his money was not so easy to take.
Although he was not welcomed, he was not in vain for most of the year in Hanging Lanfang.
Not all the girls were reluctant to provide him with news.
The girls who were willing to provide him with information were roughly divided into three categories.
This first category is the lowest level in the Hanging Place. Most of these girls are old and decrepit, of course, this is only relative to other young and beautiful girls, although these people are cared for on weekdays, but there are few repeat customers, there is no stable source of income, and they are still in the workshop when they are old, saying that the future is worrying, they have neither saved enough money, nor have they found the wrongs from the vastness, and they are afraid of the future days, so they do not resist Tang Liu. Of course, the information that this kind of girl can provide is very limited, and most of them are trivial matters that catch the wind and catch the length of the street, and it is difficult to make any contributions.
The second category is the girls from the top. Of course, these top girls will not provide information about their guests, not only that, but they will also do everything possible to keep secrets for their guests, and when the price is not enough, it is impossible to reveal half a cent. In the case that Xuanlanfang is now mainly making money, Tang Liu can't offer the corresponding price at all. But as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, although these girls will not reveal the news of their guests, but for the news of the guests who love their "sisters", they are happy to accidentally "leak" to Tang Liu. And the news revealed by these girls is very heavy, although most of these news are mixed with a lot of private goods, but this is also Tang Liu's most important source of information at present.
And this third category was only recently found by Tang Liu.
"Han Qiyun hasn't come to look for me in many days." Lou Yuqin said to the seemingly inconspicuous subordinate in front of him: "What you want me to do, I'm afraid you don't have to count on it." ”
"Miss Xian'er, don't worry," Tang Liu, who was dressed as a subordinate, said with a smile: "Han Langzhong is just the most likely candidate at the moment, even if it is really yellow, it doesn't matter, with Miss Xian'er's qualifications, she will definitely be able to fly on the branches in the future." ”
"If I really find a nobleman, aren't you afraid that I will cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
"Miss Xian'er, this is kidding." Tang Liu replied: "If Miss Xian'er really finds a nobleman, she needs more help from below, doesn't she?" ”
"Otherwise, as a sinner, how can the girl be on the side of the high platform?"
"........" Lou Yuqin looked at Tang Liu, who was fearless, and fell silent, "I don't care about the high platform" She said: "I only hope you can keep your promise and protect Xiang'er for me." ”
"Otherwise..."The quiet girl showed a rare determination: "I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" ”
Leaving the room, Tang Liu didn't care about Lou Yuqin's warning. As long as Lou Yuqin still cares about his sister, he doesn't worry about the other party backing on him. On the contrary, if Lou Yuqin can really climb up next to the nobles, he will also push it up, and even if Lou Yuqin has ambitions in the future, it is not impossible for him to saddle up for a while. And if Lou Yuqin is really just a woman who can only feel sorry for herself, he can only use it as a chess piece and discard it when the time is right.
Lou Yuqin is the third type of girl that Tang Liu's eyes on.
The common characteristics of such girls are that they have all seen the life of the upper class, understand the extravagance of the rich and noble, and have a certain knowledge and upbringing. They have seen the prosperity of the world, it is difficult to really find their own life destination from a place like Hanging Lanfang, Tang Liu may not understand this reason, but he knows that these girls who come out of big families are sometimes more willing to "get close" to the rats in the dark ditch like him. At first, Tang Liu was not innocent, but later he understood. It is precisely because of the experience of falling from a height that they are even more white, what kind of filth and darkness is hidden behind the so-called glamour, so they are white, they have actually always been "living next to each other" with a dark existence like Tang Liu, and naturally they will not reject him too much. Of course, it's not enough not to exclude him, for Tang Liu, he must also have the handle to be able to hold these girls. Maybe it's the unsightly past, or maybe it's someone who can't let go of it in his heart, only by pinching the three inches of these femme fatales will Tang Liu feel at ease to add fuel to the fire. Among them, Lou Yuqin is the most weighty, because as he said, the daughter of the former Shangshu family who has fallen into the dust, has both appearance and talent, beauty and virtuousness, such a woman can definitely catch a big fish. What's more perfect is that she still has Lou Yuji, an existence that she can handle at will, and she is not afraid of her rash breakup. As far as Tang Liu is concerned, he will never give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make meritorious contributions and get ahead.
When he really grasps the power, when he really climbs high enough, whether it is Guo An or the person who once framed him in prison, he will not let go of any of them.
Tang Liu left the building, and at this time, there was still some time before nightfall, and he could go back to his residence first to sort out the news he had gathered today.
Although Tang Liu is a subordinate on the yin side, the owner of this place, who is his leader at this time, is also a person in the dark, so he can provide him with some nominal convenience. Of course, it is on the premise of not affecting the daily progress of Hanging Lanfang. Therefore, Tang Liu has time every day to come to the courtyard adjacent to Hanging Lan Fang through the secret door to sort out and summarize some news. Tang Liu is the only one who is responsible for sorting out these news, and the others in the secret workshop are all guaranteed to make money in the Hanging Lan Fang, which is enough to see the embarrassment of Tang Liu's identity at the moment.
However, the advantage of this is that if Tang Liuyi wants to do something, no one will disturb him, but someone will ask Tang Liufan if there is any important news as usual every month.
Of course, the inquirer also knew that there would be no such thing, after all, if there was really any major news, Tang Liu would take the initiative to report it, and he would wait for someone to ask.
So, when Tang Liuliu opened the door and saw someone in the house, he subconsciously tightened. Even if it is a position that is not welcomed, but after all, it is for the dark, and there is no light on the dark side, and if you don't keep it, you will be chopped up on the same day, so it is not surprising that someone really came out that day and wanted to kill himself without saying a word.
But fortunately, after a while, Tang Liu saw the people in the room clearly, and at the same time, he raised his hand and smiled with a smile in his heart: "It turned out to be Lord Guo, and I thought there was some wrongdoer." ”。
"Oh?" Guo An sat at the table unceremoniously, as if he was drinking tea leisurely on his own ground, and seemed to be quite mindful of Tang Liu's statement: "Isn't this official looking like a bad guy?" ”
"Or..."Guo Anruo pointed out: "What do you have here in Tang Liu, it is inconvenient for the official to know?" ”
