Duan Zhi shuddered, and saw that Kong Rui's expression looked strange because of Kong Rui's makeup, but his eyes suddenly became stern, and he hurriedly argued: "Of course it's true." But he knew in his heart that he was still weak.

Kong Rui put the pieces of paper on the table and picked up the ingot of silver, Duan Zhi pretended to be calm, and picked up the teacup again, but peeked at Kong Rui and the silver in his hand, it was okay not to look at it, Duan Zhi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw it. It turned out that Kong Rui looked at him while actually clumping the silver ingots in his hand into a ball for a while, and then pressing them into a cake shape, with a look of disdain in his eyes that saw through his heart.

Duan Zhi didn't know well, he was an intelligence dealer, and he knew that if there was false information and if someone found it on the spot, it was very likely that he would be killed, and this person in front of him kneaded the silver ingot like dough, and taking his own life was not as simple as pinching an ant to death? And it was not discovered, and what was even worse was that his eyes had shown that he already knew that this was false information, and he didn't seem to have a chance to escape even if he wanted to, maybe he would be able to take his own life immediately.

But after all, Duan Zhi has been rolling in this gray area for many years, and he is also a little anxious, so he immediately knelt in front of Kong Rui and said, "Big brother...... Uncle spares his life. The little one just stole once and was lazy, and next time I will definitely not dare. ”

"How many times did you give me fake news?" Kong Rui sneered.

"Twice, no, three times, really three times. Uncle spares his life. Duan Zhi's face was like ashes, and he couldn't stop kowtowing.

"What is the most valuable information you have now?" Kong Rui asked him when he saw that he had almost achieved his goal.

"What does the uncle want?" Duan Zhi heard Kong Rui ask, and immediately knew that there should be a glimmer of life, so he immediately asked.

"Anything goes, you say it first. Kong Rui snorted coldly, he naturally knew that the most valuable information in a local intelligence community must be the news of the action arrangements of the top local military and political officials, but he asked in general, hoping to say something valuable when he was already frightened.

After stumbling for a long time, Duan Zhicai said: "It seems that some troops and horses have been transferred recently, but I don't know which direction they are going." ”

This answer naturally did not satisfy Kong Rui, so he snorted coldly at the moment, and was about to scare him again, forcing him to see if there was anything else to gain, but Kong Rui suddenly thought that this wisdom should have cheated a lot of money from his hands these days, and he knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he didn't ask for more useful news. Then he still frightened him and said, "You also need to inquire about this, can this also sell me a hundred taels of silver?"

Duan Zhi thought that he had cheated two or three hundred taels of silver from this person, and most of them had been spent by himself on eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and now he had no money to return it to him, so he had to say: "This uncle, where does the little one have the courage to do this?" It's just that Xiao Tian Tian has helped you find some trivial news these days, and he really hasn't inquired about any latest news, so you can give me three more days, and the little one will definitely find out the latest and most valuable news here." ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Kong Rui didn't talk to him, so he took out another ingot of fifty taels of silver, flattened it, and threw it on the ground and said to Duan Zhi coldly: "If you are not honest or want to escape, this is your fate!"

As soon as he saw that Kong Rui had actually flattened such a large ingot of silver, Duan Zhi was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Kong Rui said: "Three days later, here and now." And he went out.

Seeing Kong Rui leaving, Duan Zhi also collapsed on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

In fact, Kong Rui only scared Duan Zhi fiercely, after all, he couldn't rely on Liang Fang to find out the information, he also needed to rely on these local intelligence dealers, and these people were all local snakes after all, maybe there would be some surprises, and what he had to do in the past few days was to put more effort into Liang Fang, thinking of this, Kong Rui thought that he needed to get in touch with Liang Fang, so he decided to leave the Yuelai Inn first, and then come to him after settling in other places.

As soon as Kong Rui returned to the Yuelai Inn, he saw a young man on the counter asking about a person named "Lin Rui", as soon as Kong Rui heard that he was inquiring about himself, he quickly took a closer look, but it turned out to be Fan Yongjie, Kong Rui had already put on makeup now, and it was not good to come forward to meet, so he hurriedly returned to the room first, and just removed his makeup, he heard Fan Yongjie knock on the door and asked, "Is Brother Lin there?"

It turned out that after Fan Yongjie and Fan Fu returned home, they reported to Fan Dingtao what happened when they went to Qingshui Town, and also specifically mentioned Kong Rui's two rescues.

Fan Dingtao is also very smart, and immediately guessed that the sudden release of control in that area was indeed a big conspiracy, and he also guessed that the Qianren should have a big action, and these methods against the mine valley this time are just a small branch of this big operation, but he has no clue about his next move.

And this Kong Rui's rescue of Fan Yongjie made Fan Dingtao even more confused, could this be a conspiracy against their Fan family? Otherwise, it would not have been such a coincidence, after rescuing Fan Yongjie twice in a row, he actually came to Suidu together; moreover, this Lin Rui is still a cultivator, it is simply impossible to deal with him, it is better to find a way to know his specific thoughts and plans.

But everyone in the family was extremely dissatisfied with the two robberies of Fan Yongjie and Fan Fu by the stingers, and what was even more infuriating was that these stingers used despicable means of impersonating others, especially the cruel methods of the swordsmen.

Although Fan Yongjie did not doubt Kong Rui's behavior, he still obeyed his father's words, and did not contact Kong Rui at the moment, and then saw how Kong Rui acted in a few more days; and Fan Fu also informed all his businesses to be careful and inquire about all kinds of news, especially the matter of Suishan Mining Valley is the most important thing, after all, Fan Dingtao still attaches great importance to this business opportunity, and hopes that one day he can reverse the current predicament in one fell swoop; 。

I didn't think that nearly half a month later, Fan Dingtao and Fan Yongjie didn't wait for Kong Rui to visit, and the father and son began to mumble again, if Kong Rui had any conspiracy against them, why did he stay still?

Fan Dingtao was scheming, thinking that it was not a way to wait so long, so he called Fan Yongjie to say to him: "Yongjie, you and that Lin Rui haven't seen each other for half a month, why don't you go and visit him, invite him to his home for a while, and then come and observe him carefully for his father." It would be of great benefit to us if we could get some out of the way, and it would be even better if we could let him stay at home for a little longer, and we would have more opportunities to get to know him. ”

Fan Yongjie naturally obeyed his father's arrangement, and immediately went out to the Yuelai Inn. As soon as Fan Yongjie saw Kong Rui, he said: "Brother Lin, I'm really sorry, there are a lot of things going on at home these days, and Brother Fool didn't come to visit until today." ”

Kong Rui smiled faintly and said: "Brother Fan is polite, it should be the younger brother who went to visit Brother Fan, and Brother Fan came over in person." ”

After the two of them exchanged polite words, Fan Yongjie looked around at Kong Rui's room, and said to Kong Rui: "Brother Lin, it seems that the environment of this Yuelai Inn is still good, I don't know if my brother has any ideas to change the environment, how about staying in Brother Yu's house for a few days? ”

Kong Rui was originally going to leave the Yuelai Inn, but now when he saw Fan Yongjie coming to invite, he pushed the boat down the river, and he could even probe their tone in his home to see if he could help the people in the mine valley to contact the way out of pig iron and the channels for buying salt and cloth, so he immediately said to Fan Yongjie: "It's okay, brother also just wants to change the environment, so it's better to be respectful and obey his fate, and go and disturb Brother Fan." ”

Seeing Kong Rui agree, Fan Yongjie chuckled in his heart, but said: "Okay, then let's leave now, it just so happens that my father is also here, and my father has been thinking about thanking my brother in person for saving his life to my foolish brother these days." At that moment, the two of them did not delay much, and went out of the store.
