A carriage full of vegetable baskets slowly walked to the back door of Tong Guan's mansion.

"Who are you? What about the sixth who delivers food? ”

When the guards at the back door saw Cao Zhengsheng, they immediately became alert and asked.

"The sixth child was drunk yesterday and fell into the ditch and broke his leg, and today I will help him deliver food! No, the car is still the sixth! ”

Cao Zheng stepped forward with a smile.

The guards looked at the car that often delivered vegetables, and looked at the vegetables full of bamboo baskets, and no longer doubted that the sixth child who delivered vegetables was famous for liking to drink, and it was not uncommon for him to break his leg while drunk.

"The car stays outside and carries the dishes in!"

The guard looked at Cao Zheng and said.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Cao Zhengxiang said with a smile.

The back door opened, the carriage was not allowed to enter the mansion, and it was impossible for the guards of the prime minister's mansion to come to help, so Cao Zheng had to pick up the vegetables in a basket by himself.

When picking a basket of cabbage, Cao Zheng pretended to be tired and gasped and coughed.

"Look at your good body, you're tired of picking a few baskets of vegetables, what a straw bale!"

The guards laughed at Cao Zhenglai.

"Laugh! Laugh! I carried the sixth child home last night, and went to the doctor again, and I didn't sleep all night! ”

Cao Zheng laughed twice and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with vegetables, he also practiced martial arts every day, and it was no problem to pick a few baskets of vegetables, and he coughed in order to send a signal to Shi Qian under the leaves.

Shi Qian had already tried to enter Tong Guan's Mansion at night, but Tong Guan had transferred all his cronies in the army back this time, and the defense was not ordinarily strict, and there was no way to enter from the outside.

Cao Zheng put away the vegetable basket, took the money from the housekeeper, and left with a thousand thanks.

In the vegetable basket, Shi Qian quietly listened to the movement outside, and only after confirming that no one came out of the vegetable basket, evened out a few baskets of vegetables, and walked out.

Shi Qian was wearing the clothes of a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, and walked with his eyebrows bowed.

Shi Qian walked carefully in Tong Guan's mansion, and met many servants and maids along the way, these people were in a hurry, and they didn't pay attention to Shi Qian.

Shi Qian saw that these people were all coming from the backyard, and knew that the situation was wrong, so he didn't dare to approach easily, so he didn't start to act until night.

Shi Qian raised his spirits, and the whole person escaped into the darkness.

"Is this sick or dead? Why are there archers on the roof? ”

Shi Qian looked at the defense in the backyard, and he slandered for a while, and he could see that there was a problem from this defense.

Shi Qian tried a few more times, but finally retreated to the outer courtyard, he didn't dare to take risks, even with his skills, he was not sure to sneak in.

Just as Shi Qian was about to leave, more than a dozen maids came slowly with plates.

"Damn, dozens of dishes! Fish and meat, and roast goose? Roast suckling pig? Is this sick? ”

On the corridor beam, Shi Qian looked at the dishes on the plates of the maids and was even more puzzled, where did this seem to be seriously ill, this was completely a banquet inside.

Shi Qian was still a little skeptical, but when he saw this sumptuous dish, he was already 100% sure that there was something wrong with Tong Guan's illness.

Shi Qian quietly came to the outer courtyard, and waited until the second half of the night when the guards changed shifts before finding an opportunity to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Back at Cao Zheng's shop, Cao Zheng and Ma Lin were already waiting.

"Brother Shiqian, have you found anything?"

Cao Zheng hurriedly asked when he saw Shi Qian coming back.

Shi Qian explained what he saw one by one, and Cao Zheng and Ma Lin also frowned.

"What's the situation, aren't you seriously ill, and you still eat such a good feast?"

Cao Zheng touched his head and thought about it, if he was seriously ill, he should lie in bed and not eat water and rice, at most he would drink some medicinal soup, but Tong Guan was constantly delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"The backyard defense is too strict, I can't get in, and I'm afraid of startling the snake, so I can only retreat, it's really ......"

Shi Qian said with some self-reproach, if he could sneak into the backyard, he would be able to figure out what the hell Tong Guan was doing.

"Brother Shiqian doesn't have to blame himself, we are doing intelligence, not exposing it is the most important thing, as long as we are not discovered, there will always be opportunities."

Ma Lin comforted the times.

"But now Sun Li can't get information, and we can't get information here, how can we explain this to Your Majesty!"

Cao Zheng was a little worried, Qi Guo was already very concerned about this matter, and Sun Lei even asked him to investigate this matter.

"Don't worry, there will always be clues! No matter how strict Tong Guan is, he can't hide in the backyard for the rest of his life, right? As long as our news can be transmitted back to Liangshan as soon as possible, we are not afraid of him making ghosts. ”

Ma Lin shook his head and said, now is the most urgent, static braking is the best policy.

"Well, in the past few days, I've asked the guys who sell vegetables and meat to go around Tongguan Mansion!"

Cao Zhengzhi has a way.

"Well, I also let the splashes go over to wander around, Zhang San and Li Si haven't come back, they are really short of people!"

Ma Lin said helplessly, Zhang San and Li Si now have the funding of the Qi State, and now they have controlled nearly 20% of the splashes in Tokyo City.

Don't underestimate the splash, in a place like Tokyo, there are hundreds of people in the middle of the skin, and hundreds of people wander around the city every day to collect a huge amount of information, for example, the official stayed in the Qinglou and was blocked by a thug at the door of the brothel, and the official gambled yesterday and lost again.

"Don't worry, the two of them will be back in a few days."

Shi Qian said with a smile, Zhang San and Li Si returned to Liangshan on behalf of everyone in Tokyo, and this time they stayed and treated it for a few days.

In the next few days, there were many more vendors around the Tong Guan Mansion, which is located in the northwest corner of the Imperial City, and is one of the busiest places in Tokyo.

There are also a lot of idle people on the streets, these people are idle, they just wander around the streets and alleys all day long, and when they are tired, they sit under the eaves and bask in the sun, but they are always on the street where Tongguan's mansion is located.

……

The question of Tong Guan's mansion was soon reported back to Yangsan.

"It's really weird!"

Sun Lei looked at the information in his hand and smiled.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Tong Guan's plan is not small!"

Li Zhu opened his mouth and said, Tong Guan is pretending to be sick again, and he is also guarding to the death, and he is still feasting in the mansion, revealing strangeness everywhere.

"It's nothing more than thinking about how to deal with us! It doesn't matter if you don't figure it out, you still need to be hard to strike iron, and all the bells and whistles are funny in the face of absolute strength. ”

Sun Lei said indifferently, the worst case is that Tong Guan thought of some new trick, and then led the troops to kill him.

"There are a lot of people who have fled recently, and we must do a good job of diversion, and we can't all crowd in Liangshan City!"

Sun Lei looked at Jiang Jing, the head of the household, and said, Zhao Ji's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have risen sharply, and many people have fled to Qi State.

But these people can't all stay in Liangshan City, most of these people are from farming, and they won't do anything else except farming, and there is not so much land around Liangshan City, in Sun Lei's plan, Liangshan City should be dominated by commerce and industry, maximizing the advantages of the city.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Jing led the order, there are tens of thousands of people who have fled recently, and it is said that there are still many on the road, and population registration, diversion, and field division are all top priorities.
