Shao Xi felt that things were getting clearer and clearer, although there were still many unclear points, but at least so far it was basically certain that Gao Cai was a key figure in this.

However, at the moment, he can't directly reveal his identity, and he must first find a way to get their attention through the Ghost Emperor's Mansion first.

I believe that when I attract the attention of the other party, the first person who comes into contact with me must be Gao Cai, and I can use the pattern of the kite in my hand as a bargaining chip to ask the person behind Gao Cai to make this transaction.

Of course, things won't go as smoothly as you think, but in this way, you have to put pressure on the other party, and when you can't make your own decisions about something, you must ask for the opinion of the person behind him.

This is the time for me to find out who is behind it through Gao Cai. So at present, Xinjing Tea House has become a key place, and only through Xinjing Tea House can you contact Gao Cai, and then find a way to find the person you want to find through Gao Cai.

"Brother Long, you just said that the seats on the second floor of the Xinjing Teahouse are all distinguished people, so how can you tell which people are the noble people you are talking about? What do you need to get to the second floor? Long Qitai was asked by Shao Xi, and everything he knew was only relayed to him by the secret agent who entered the Xinjing Teahouse, and he didn't know the specific situation in the teahouse.

What made him feel a little strange was why Shao Xi suddenly paid attention to the elegant seat on the second floor? It is said that he should pay special attention to the back hall of the Xinjing Teahouse, because according to his judgment, every time the news is delivered in the back hall of the teahouse, Xiao Liuzi and the other person only go to the back hall every time, but they do not go to the elegant seat on the second floor.

Whether it was the secret agent who visited underhome, or he himself never thought that there was anything special about the second floor of the elegant seat, could it be that Shao Xi found something different about the second floor of this Xinjing Tea House?

Long Qitai shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about the matter. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask Shao Xi: "Brother Shao, what do you think is different about the second floor of the teahouse?" Do you suspect that this second-floor seat also has something to do with the transmission of their message?

"But the brother I sent in for an unannounced visit didn't find anything noteworthy on the second floor, because there weren't many people going to the second floor, and you also knew that there weren't any big trading houses on that street, and there weren't too many merchants, and the rich and powerful didn't go there much on weekdays.

"Even if someone occasionally goes up to the second floor, they are all fresh faces, and I haven't seen anyone who often goes to the second floor of the teahouse, I just thought it was some tea guests who didn't come often, if it was someone who often passed information here, it was impossible for the brother who visited secretly not to notice, brother, what do you think?" Shao Xi hugged his shoulders again and pressed his thumb to his chin, as if he was thinking about something.

At the same time, he said as if to himself: "A teahouse that is not very good in business, there is still an identity requirement for the second floor seat, which makes people feel a little strange, if the tea guests are treated differently because of the grade of tea, it is obvious that there should not be so few guests on the second floor."

"I think Brother Long, the brother you sent into the teahouse should have also tried to order some precious tea, but still didn't have the opportunity to climb to the second floor, which means that it has nothing to do with what tea to drink, but requires other conditions, so what is this condition?

"If it is not measured by the amount of money spent, is it status? But will there be any eunuchs and nobles around there? And if so, why are they there? Therefore, the second floor of this Xinjing teahouse must have some fame. When Long Qitai heard Shao Xi say this, he hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Brother, you guessed right, we have also noticed the elegant seat on the second floor since we started to monitor this teahouse, so we also asked the brothers to spend more money to order some precious tea, and they were indeed not invited to the second floor."

"And I also arranged for my brother to ask to go up to the second floor, but the shopkeeper of the tea house politely refused, and the reason given was also very strange, only that the second floor seat was not for ordinary tea customers, but only for tea merchants from all over the world.

"At first, we thought it was just an excuse, but then we did find out that every time a customer went up to the second floor, there would be new tea on the shelves in the teahouse, and after several observations, we didn't think much about it." Shao Xi raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

"Tea merchants from all over the world, new tea on the shelves! So the guests on the second floor have always been personally entertained by the shopkeeper, and the guys in the teahouse are only responsible for entertaining other individual guests downstairs? ”

"How do you know? As long as there are guests on the second floor of the teahouse, they are indeed personally entertained by the shopkeeper, and only when the guests are gone will they let the guys go upstairs to clean up.

"But as long as the guests are still there, the person in charge of hospitality has always been the shopkeeper, and we don't think there is anything suspicious about this matter, after all, it is said that the guests on the second floor are tea merchants from all over the world.

"The identity of these people is a bit noble for the teahouse, and it is not an exaggeration to be personally entertained by the shopkeeper, but you haven't been in the teahouse, brother, how do you know about it?" Shao Xi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but smiled secretly, although the smile was fleeting, it was still seen by Long Qitai.

"Brother, just say what you think, don't worry about my brother's appetite, you must have found something wrong on the second floor of the teahouse."

"Remember the carriage we mentioned two days ago that delivered tea?" Long Qitai nodded in confusion, but still said with a confused expression: "Of course I remember, you said that the carriage that delivered the tea was sent to the teahouse from all over the country to collect intelligence, and then the instructions issued by a certain force were sent to all places.

"For this reason, you also plan to use the secret agents and secret piles of the 'Jing Cheng Division' to investigate this matter in various places, but the carriage that delivers the tea only comes once a month on the sixth day of the first month, and the tea merchants who ascend to the second floor are irregular, and there seems to be no necessary connection between the two." Shao Xi smiled and waved his hand at Long Qitai and said, "Brother Long, your memory is really bad!" Do you remember when I mentioned that the teahouse used a horse-drawn cart to deliver tea to pass information from all over the world, you also asked me why they didn't use the method of flying pigeons to transmit messages?

"As I told you at the time, there are many ways to convey information, from the use of chariots to deliver information just to be on the safe side, and the use of flying pigeons for simple information that needs to be delivered quickly.

"Then how do you know that these people who have climbed to the second floor of the Xinjing Tea House are not here to pass on information? Who said that tea merchants must follow the carriage that delivers tea every month to come to Xinjing Teahouse? Or how can you be sure that the tea merchants on the second floor that the shopkeeper said must be tea merchants?

"If you can use the carriage carrying the tea as a cover to pass the information, why can't the messenger in charge of delivering the information disguise himself as a tea merchant? I have also told you that the safest way to deliver information is to rely on people, and the carriage that delivers tea only transmits information from all over the world to Xinjing Teahouse every month.

"This information should only be a daily report of the situation in various places, and if there is really any need to take action on the spot, since it is not possible to use flying pigeons to transmit messages for safety, there must be messengers, and I now suspect that the so-called tea merchants on the second floor are the messengers who deliver these temporary information.

"When there is any important news that needs to be passed on to the outside world, these people will quickly spread the news, just like your Dali Temple will arrange people to be on daily duty on weekdays, once there is a temporary case, these temporary people on duty will go to investigate and deal with it, the reason is actually the same." was said by Shao Xi, Long Qitai immediately understood.

With a look of chagrin, he said, "Alas! If you say something like that, then I'm miscalculated! In the past six months, we have never thought of sending someone to keep an eye on the tea guests who went to the second floor, and we don't know how much news they have spread, but we still don't know it. Miscalculation! What a miscalculation! Shao Xi also felt that Long Qitai was indeed a little careless in this matter, but he couldn't say anything more at this time.

Dali Temple originally did not have many people, Long Qitai sent people from other places to come over, the monitoring of Xinjing Teahouse in the past six months has been quite good, even if there are some omissions are inevitable, it is really no wonder that they are.

I believe that after this reminder, Long Qitai will specially arrange people to keep an eye on those tea guests on the second floor.

It's just that now that things have developed to the point where they have developed to the point where they are already planning to end up in person, and sending people to keep an eye on those tea guests is just to further collect information, which can only be regarded as the icing on the cake for the whole thing.

If this matter had been done earlier, maybe there might have been some turning points in Ruan Haoyang's matter at the beginning, but it was too late to say these things now, and things had already happened that could not change the result, and Shao Xi didn't want to dwell on it anymore.

Today, I came to confirm that the Ghost Emperor's Mansion may really play some role in the Xinjing Teahouse, so you might as well go to the Xinjing Teahouse to give it a try, although this matter is a bit risky, and there is no 100% certainty, but how can the things in the world be 100% risk-free?

It's just that before that, I still have to plan carefully, I can't act rashly, and I must make sure that I can get in touch with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion this time.

As long as the first step of the plan is implemented smoothly, the rest of the plan will definitely come naturally.

At this time, Shao Xi was very happy in his heart, fortunately, Ruan Haoyang believed in him and handed over the pattern of the sparkle to himself for safekeeping.

Otherwise, I really don't have such a valuable chip in my hand. Now that he has this bargaining chip in his hand, he can't live up to Ruan Haoyang's trust in him, you must know that what you are facing now is not only the enemy of the Feng family back then, but also the enemy of the Ruan family, the murderer who killed Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu!

Now he not only wants to avenge the sixty-six members of Fengjiazhuang, but also wants to avenge his two friends.

I hope they have a spirit in heaven and bless themselves with all the best!
