Chao Gai didn't know about the big events that happened in Jeju after he left. I only know that last night a goose feather snow made the earth covered in silver, which was extremely enchanting.

Fortunately, the waterway was not affected, and he led his team to sail from Shuibo to Bianhe River, sailed for two days, and arrived at the destination at the end of November.

Not far away is the village store, which is also the stronghold of Chaojiazhuang.

The port outside Bianliang is still bustling with merchant ships coming and going. Cargo ships loaded with grain, medicinal herbs and other materials are slowly moored.

It includes ships loaded with cattle and sheep, clothing, toffee, spicy strips and other snacks from Chaojiazhuang, and many caravans secretly formed by Chaojiazhuang. Hordes of porters were busy, instilling vitality in the capital.

Chao Gai's mentality has obviously changed, and he feels different when he sees Bianliang Pier again. Although it is lively, it has not changed, leaving aside the fleet, caravans, and wharves from Chaojiazhuang, like a pool of stagnant water.

He instructed Chen Hu, the Black Mountain Kite, to lead the team to negotiate the sale of materials at the wharf, recruit sailors, craftsmen, etc., and lead people straight to Bianliang City by the way.

Bianliang City! The capital of the Song Dynasty is also the most prosperous city in the world today, and there is no one. Time can forget everything, a year ago the city gate was breached, and several battalions of forbidden troops were wiped out.

Fan Lou's former leader, Master Li, is almost forgotten.

Only when you walk through the Li Family Mansion may you think of that stunning beauty.

Such a big mansion is the best location in Fanlou. It's not that no one has paid attention to it, but whoever uses means to try to forcibly occupy it. The final outcome will be miserable, either losing the family property or dying violently.

This has happened many times, and it reminds people of the one in the palace. After the news spread, no one made any more of an impression of it.

And where do people know? All kinds of accidents were caused by Chao Gai. No, to be precise, it is the big shopkeeper Zhu Fu who is in charge of this matter.

The shopkeeper of a restaurant that used to be mixed in a small county town has grown up completely after such a long time of tempering and has become a figure in his own right.

Zhu Yu, the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion, has a deep background and extensive contacts, and is also the number one person in Bianliang City, the center of power, and ordinary people dare not offend.

Especially in underground snobbery, it is definitely a handle.

He coughed a few times and stomped his feet a few times, and big things would happen everywhere in Bianliang City. As long as he is not happy, the inner city, the outer city can set off riots.

Why is the shopkeeper Zhu so bullish?

Because the intelligence work is well done, done to the extreme, it is breathtaking.

This is also due to the huge supply of capital chain, Chaojiazhuang allocates 100,000 yuan per month. More than 100 shops in Bianliang City made a profit two months ago and gradually transferred to the base camp, before and after, throwing millions of dollars into it.

As the saying goes, under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man.

Under the heavy money, the effect is obvious.

Such as the Tianxiang Pavilion is located in this urban area, including other mansions in Fan Lou, within the building card. It is not sure which peddler is a pawn, a little guy who brings tea and water, or even a fan who plays and sings, may be an intelligence agent.

The busy stall vendors on the streets, the shop owners selling grain and vegetables, and even the coolies carrying sacks are all members of the dark department of Tianxiang Pavilion. People from all walks of life can be found everywhere. Monitor the wind and grass.

In addition to the people who are free, there are people in every yamen in Bianliang City. Spending a lot of money to select, cultivate, infiltrate, or directly buy it with money, not only is there a large number of people, but there are also people with high official positions and can speak everywhere.

For example, if you have a court meeting in the morning, you will get the news after the meeting. Zhao Ji in the palace can also have rumors of which concubine he sleeps with.

In one year, Bianliang City's intelligence network was all over the place.

Large and small contact points, both overt and covert, are not only engaged in gathering information, but also assassination, investigation, and secretly possess armed forces.

As a descendant, Chao Gai attaches the most importance to intelligence and gives full support. If you make up your mind to do a surprise review, you won't just talk about it.

When you step into Bianliang City again, you can notice obvious changes.

From the beginning of queuing up to enter the city, he keenly found that the problem of the forbidden army on duty was tricky, and the chicken thief with a pair of eyes scanned the crowd in and out, and asked a lot to understand. Although it seems to be a harmless inquiry, it is deliberate.

When you enter the outer city area, you often see restaurants, shops, residential houses, etc. with black crosses and red circles on signboards or doors and windows, special marks such as symbols and numbers.

That was a mark unique to the intelligence department of the Chao Family Army.

People come and go on the street, selling their arts, small stalls and vendors, and the sound of selling is endless. Length varies, tall, short, fat and thin, old and young, male and female. Some of them gathered to discuss, Zhang's family Li was short, three rats and four eyes, the lame toad jumped far, the wind of the market, noisy and lively.

Chao Gai has a feeling of being stared at, many people or street vendors, and idlers have bright eyes. Not only does it look witty, but it also smells of money! Especially staring at the official car battle, asking around, shaking their heads or gesturing with each other, the movements are vague but familiar.

This is from Chao Gai's handwriting, how he doesn't recognize it. It was also concluded that this was the intelligence agent planted in the streets of Bianliang City, active everywhere in the form of a team. There are old men, there are strong men, there are peddlers, there are women......

Ordinary harmless, unpreventable.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a certain prejudgment of the intelligence network in Bianliang City, he didn't bring his personal guards with him. and the two ladies changed their faces into poor people, pretending to go to the city to see a doctor, otherwise they would have been targeted or even exposed.

In that case, the raid review would have become a joke.

Rao is like this, the three of them disguised themselves as a family of three, and their down-and-out appearance made the hawkers along the way condolence and give them something to eat and drink. Despite his kindness, Chao Gai was able to detect the peep in the other party's inquiry.

It can be seen that these intelligence officers are very careful, or in other words, very suspicious. In other words, other princes and nobles, the sons of the family, were stared at on the street. The focus is on the people who go to the casino to visit the kiln, and even what do you eat in the tavern? How much money you lose will be known.

It's fine if it's just one area.

For the raid review, Chao Gai brought an elite team led by Gushang Flea Shiqian. More than a dozen people dispersed to enter from various gates, and gathered in the designated restaurant around the city from all over the city. The messages that come back are all pretty much the same. Entering the city gate and going to the streets of the outer city, there are many people collecting information.

The Zhu Fu brothers didn't brag about it, and the intelligence of Bianliang City was very good!

Chao Gai was cunning and cunning, and did not venture into the inner city, but first met in an ordinary restaurant. Discuss what to expect once you enter the inner city. Adjust the route according to the actual situation, how not to be targeted and exposed.

In the middle of the night, the drummer led the team to climb the inner city wall silently. These people who are good at camouflage and come and go are most suitable for this kind of night warfare, lurking everywhere in advance and countering surveillance.

The next day, when the sun was rising, the streets were full of people. Chao Gai and the two ladies changed their outfits when they walked out of the restaurant.

Chao Gai was richly dressed, forty years old, with three strands of long hair. Wearing a scarf with two streamers, a wide robe and large sleeves, he looks like a literati. Flowery, Yelutari's dress fluttering, dressed charmingly and moving, holding his arm. shouted officials, like a fairy couple.

It is very eye-catching on the street, but this situation is very common in Bianliang City. After the strangeness, not many people paid attention, and swaggered into the inner city.

The inner city exists as the core of Bianliang City. Compared with the outer city, the buildings along the road are more magnificent, there are more shops, and the streets are crowded with people and more lively. Especially as the New Year approaches, the joyful atmosphere creeps up on everyone's cheeks. Everywhere you can see all kinds of snacks such as sugar gourds and rice cakes.

Chao Gai has seen the world, and he doesn't feel anything!

However, the little magnolia flower, the female Zhuge Yelu Tali has never come. I have never seen such a prosperous city, and I am a little dazzled. As soon as he entered the city, it was like two little butterflies circling around Chao Gai. encountered a place where the crowd was gathered, and even pulled him forward to watch.

Chao Gai, the old fox, was also very cooperative, not only buying rock sugar gourds and all kinds of snacks for the two women, but also eating dirty faces and playing with each other, causing passers-by to look sideways. also accompanied them to look around, and when they were happy, they would clap their hands and laugh, laughing so much that tears flew and laughed a little silly.

A country bun, I haven't seen the world! On the streets, the literati and artists who came to Bianliang City with their female dependents from all over the world are exactly the same.

On the surface, Chao Gai went shopping with women along the way to satisfy their curiosity. In fact, he hides himself with this big grin. Although I was playing all the time, I didn't forget to observe the situation on the street.

Compared with the outer city, there are only a lot more strongholds with special markings on the streets of the inner city. There are many intelligence spies on the streets. They had been noticed from the moment they entered the inner city, but they didn't pay attention to it all the way.

Sample, Lao Tzu can't settle you.

Chao Gai saw all this out of the corner of his eye, and he also noticed that there was no abnormal look. Seeing the elite haunted figure of the Feitian Battalion, I couldn't help but feel a little proud.

In this way, he was like an old cow eating tender grass, holding two beautiful girls and shopping along the way. Encounter fun wait-and-see, meet delicious shopping, or inquire for directions, or even ask people who obviously have problems.

looks like I've never been to Bianliang City!

has been shopping for nearly two hours, what Chao Gai has seen and heard, and met with Shi Qian and others halfway, and he knows a little about the intelligence agency of Bianliang City. The development has exceeded expectations, and there is also a slight vigilance, and it is necessary to send people to check and balance.

It's not that I don't believe in the pig rich brothers, and there are too many of them, and it's difficult to control. One is not good, it is easy to expose, and investing money will be wasted.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly and it was very warm!

Chao Gai and the two ladies were also a little hungry, so they approached Fan Lou intentionally or unintentionally. I found that many literati and writers came to eat and drink, and they naturally followed the good flow.

Halfway, follow a few people to enter Tianxiang Pavilion with their front and back feet!

As one of the few restaurants that can compete with Fan Lou, Tianxiang Pavilion is very famous. The best wine cooperates with the princes and nobles, and the status of the restaurant is even greater. I don't know how many people come here to eat and listen to the drama every day, and there are many children of officials and eunuchs.

The hall on the first floor is full of friends and lively.

Several literati came directly to the private room on the second floor, and they could see Chao Gai hugging two beauties behind them, and went directly to the third floor, causing injustice.

"Hey, the way of the world!" One of them was lonely, looking at Chao Gai's chic and proud back, and sighed that the world was unfair, and the old cow ate tender grass.
