Chapter 23: Cat and Mouse Game (3)
Zhang Qing did not go out of the city, but found a family that was away from home and hid for the night.
He wanted to figure out who was looking for him so he could formulate a countermeasure—also because he didn't feel hostile from the other person's prying eyes. After a night of lurking, he found that there were no gang members and gangsters looking for people outside, which meant that they were not from the Tinghe Gang. Because the Tinghe Gang has a subordinate force, the Green Snake Gang, in Huinan Mansion, if yesterday's estimator is from the Tinghe Gang, then these low-level personnel are the best to launch, and it is also the easiest to find Zhang Qing.
Secondly, it was not the people of the lord of the house, because there were no abnormal actions of the officers and soldiers, and the inspection of several city gates did not become strict.
In this case, it is very likely that someone from outside has found this place. It's just that I don't know if it's the person Li Jianghui attracted, or if Zhang Ling has some secret relationship.
This reminded him of the innate master he met outside the Zhang Mansion a few days ago, and now it seems that the other party is very likely to have come to investigate the destruction of the Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Qing is not panicking now, firstly, he has a 'wrong performance' to protect his body, and secondly, it has been almost a day since yesterday's incident, and the other party has not made a second calculation, which either shows that the estimation consumes a lot of money, or that the estimation requires certain conditions. Either way, he's still hiding in the shadows.
He thought of the feeling that the other party looked down from the sky yesterday, and felt quite terrifying at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be more Tianwei than manpower. Carefully savoring the feeling, he didn't feel how powerful the other party was. Zhang Fuwai's congenital masters are also strong, strong and strong, but they don't feel overwhelming pressure. It is estimated that compared with himself, his skills are deeper and more powerful.
He didn't know that the innate master had cultivated into a primordial god and was already able to use the power of the spirit. Moreover, he has a top-level divine skill, and when facing other low-level skills, he will reduce the opponent's coercion. In the final analysis, it is the lack of experience in martial arts, and the idea of materialism has not been completely reversed.
It was quite easy to eliminate the willow tree spirit and female ghost before, and cut off the line of sight of the innate calculator, which had already made Zhang Qing a little proud and complacent, and he still had a secret weapon in his hand, so he wanted to use his own skills to do something and figure out whether the other party was friend or foe.
Although Bai Huiye has a few very capable subordinates, who are very good at finding information, otherwise they would not have found out the details of Zhang's mansion in three days, and turned out the places in the southwest of the city that could hide people in one night.
But after all, the number of people is too small, and actions like finding people are the best tactics of crowds. He didn't want to come to find someone through the gang in Huinan City, so I was afraid that Zhang Shanyi hadn't found it yet, and the people from the Tinghe Gang would find it first. For this reason, he also specifically asked his subordinates to avoid the people in the gang to investigate, Hua Hu and Wang Shishi are the only gang members he has ever contacted, and they are still the lowest gangsters.
In the end, there was no way, so he used the copper coin again. Although the copper coin calculation can only be regarded as some simple things, this time it is only to calculate whether the other party is still in the city, and the answer will only be 'yes' or 'no'. So we succeeded in getting the right information, and we didn't trigger the 'wrong way' defense mechanism. This is mainly because Zhang Qing's skills are still too shallow to defend against this kind of fuzzy search skill.
For Bai Huiye, it is a good thing that Zhang Shanyi did not leave Huinan City. Finding people from the city is not as difficult as finding people from the entire Huinan ground, and this is the best result when it is necessary to be as concealed as possible.
Just as Bai Huiye was thinking of a way, a subordinate suddenly came to report.
"My lord, I just heard the news, someone saw the suspected Zhang Shanyi's child haunting the vicinity of the patrol envoy earlier, and asked the surrounding people about the patrol envoy's trip. ”
"Huh?" Bai Huiye frowned, "What is he doing there?
It is not unreasonable for Bai Huiye to think so, because in his heart, even if Zhang Shanyi has an adventure and cultivates superior martial arts, after all, the time is still short, and it is not strange that he was still an innocent child born in the compound two months ago, and he is still thinking about problems with the thoughts of a child.
He knew that the people who pursued him were the Tinghe Gang, and when he came back, he saw the seal of the mansion lord on the door of his house, so he naturally regarded these two parties as enemies in the same stream.
The inspection is nominally to supervise the lawlessness and avenge the people's grievances, and it is indeed easy to attract people with grievances to complain. There are also many dramas that tell the story of the envoys sent by the imperial court to solve cases and try grievances. In fact, not to mention other places, the inspection envoys in Yunzhou have been blocked by poor people several times to cry out for grievances.
Of course, ordinary people who don't understand officialdom don't understand that in most cases, even if the inspectors avenge them, they are not the people who are in charge, but want to attack their political opponents.
Now it seems that with the simple idea of a child, it is very possible to go to the inspector to complain, and the inspector is also the person of the state lord, so that he is very likely to see Zhang Shanyi there in Bai Huiye, which is much simpler than looking around the city without a clue.
Bai Huiye's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly sent someone to inform the inspector, asking him to pay attention to the children who might appear and not to be robbed by the mansion master's people.
The inspection envoy is only a special official position, and it will be removed when it is used up, and in order to reduce the vigilance of the lord of Huinan Mansion, Liu Liang specially selected a person under the day after tomorrow to fill it. Therefore, the size of Huinan City is actually determined by Bai Huiye, so the patrol makes nature obey the order.
The task of the inspection envoy was to see more and go more, and in addition, he had to deal with the invitations and entertainment of the lord every once in a while, and in order to observe the people's feelings, he had to go down to various county towns to meet all kinds of squires and landlords, and he did not have much time to stay in the line at all.
In fact, the patrol envoy has been very tired in the past few days, and in order to attract the attention of the lord of the mansion, he has also been very diligent, walking around in and out of the city. The lord of the mansion had been with Shangguan for two days for the sake of his face, but when he saw that the inspection envoy had no intention of stopping at all, he sent a few attendants to follow, and he patted his ass and went back to the mansion to rest.
So the inspector went to see the construction of the canal outside the city today, and tomorrow he came to the market to ask if the people's commercial activities were convenient, and the crowd was tossed and turned.
But after running back and forth like this for several days, it doesn't seem like he suddenly wants to stay in the line, and maybe the mansion owner will think that he has found out some of his tricks, so that the mansion owner pays too much attention to this side. So I thought about it for a long time, and I really found a way. The inspection made a mistake in the handover of the governor under the pretext that some files about Huinan Mansion were lost. So he was sent to retrieve the copy here, wanting to compare one and two, so as not to cause trouble to the follow-up work
To tell the truth, this excuse is very lame, Liu Liang has been here for more than a year, how did he think of sorting out these files? But this request is not too much, the city lord of Huinan is also unmotivated, he doesn't care about this kind of thing, and besides, the things recorded in these files have been reviewed by the previous state lord, and there will be no handle. What's more, his subordinates have complained to him that the patrol has tormented people for several days, and it is good to be able to settle down for a few days, so they will inspect the inspection casually.
The patrol envoy is also a wonderful person, and he really went through those files when he was idle. There are not only records of the accounts of the tax servants, but also records of many cases. Because Huinan is located in a remote area, the countrymen are ignorant and ignorant, and there are really many ridiculous cases, and the verdict of the lord of the mansion is also very interesting, which makes him watch it with relish.
For example, in one case, two couples from the countryside came to the city to deal with some things, so they rented a house. As a result, the two couples were so intense that the walls fell into the earth for a long time. As a result, the owner of the house was disgusted by his daughter-in-law, saying that he was not as good as a countryman. The angry owner didn't sleep well all night, and went to the government office the next day to sue the country couple.
Originally, the magistrate in charge of hearing the case did not intend to deal with this almost vexatious matter, but the owner of the house happened to be there at the time, laughed when he heard the case, and directly rewarded the owner with an aphrodisiac and asked him to go home to comfort his daughter-in-law.
This case was faithfully recorded, and the inspector couldn't help but laugh again and again when he thought that the lord of the mansion he had come into contact with in the past few days was indeed an unruly person.
It's just that Bai Huiye outside suffers, so he can only hide and monitor the surroundings of Xingyuan, and strive to find her traces at the first moment when Zhang Qing appears.
