Cheng Liangjia smiled helplessly and said: "You also know that Jizhou and Youzhou are the territories of Zhu Di, the uncle of the Four Emperors of the Holy Lord, and he is a high-flying, suspicious and difficult person to get along with. In order not to escalate the incident, the case-handling personnel took the initiative to withdraw and did not conduct further investigation......"

Lin Fanghe bowed his head and agreed: "That's so." After a pause, he asked, "So there has been no significant progress on this matter so far?"

Cheng Liangjia silently promised.

After being silent for a long time, he said angrily: "When Feng Zhutou and the others left Youzhou, the three families of King Yan, King of Jin, and King Ning were jointly conducting military exercises on the border, with more than 100,000 people, infantry and cavalry, and a mixture of different arms. ”

Lin Fanghe was shocked: "Really?"

"Among the only remaining generals of our Ming Dynasty, the only one who can deter and restrain the Mongolian soldiers is this Yan King. ”

"The world is unpredictable. After Lin Fanghe finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and turned his face to face Lin and Tang who were drinking tea. Tang Yu didn't wait to ask in detail, so he went to Wuyi Lane in Laobei City to find the shopkeeper Song, and his understanding of Song Qingyang, the author of "Walking with the Tiger", the causes and consequences, and the details. Lin Fanghe smiled slightly when he heard this: "Oh, the harvest is not small. ”

He turned his head and asked Cheng Liangjia again: "Are any of us familiar with the place of Jinxiang Hutong on Qinglu Street?"

Cheng Liangjia thought for a moment and replied: "Then I have to ask the locals, such as the post man or the pavilion?"

Lin Fanghe said with a smile: "It's good to send someone to check, but that kind of place is mixed, don't expect too much." ”

Cheng Liangjia was only the only one, and he didn't say anything again. Several people got up and exited the room.

Tang Yu walked to the door and was about to go out, when Lin Fanghe raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "You wait." So he stayed and returned to the house. Cheng Zhutou and Lin Ziren left together.

Lin Fanghe looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Last time you fought with that 'Thousand-Faced Ghost', your right hand was seriously injured, has it ever healed now?"

Tang Yu replied: "Lord Xie cares, it's already good." However, this hand can no longer hold the knife, and I now practice using my left hand to make the knife ......"

"I see, I'm afraid it will take a while to get used to it?"

"I wake up early every morning and take two hours to exercise my arm strength and practice knife dance, and I believe it won't take long to control it. Tang Yu was full of confidence.

Lin Fanghe admired it very much, and then said: "The rivers and lakes are sinister, your fingers are injured, and it is inconvenient to use a knife, so I will give you a worthy weapon here." Would you like to?"

Tang Yu was overjoyed: "Of course it's great." ”

Lin Fanghe reached into his pocket, stretched out, and opened his palm, and there was already a bright golden knife in his palm. He stared at the knife, his eyes were kind, and said: "This is the blade 'palm knife' that has followed me for many years, don't look at it small, but it can be put and collected, attacked and defended, and can be used as a hidden weapon from afar, and can be close to hand-to-hand combat." As long as you use the method correctly, its power will never be under the spear and halberd!"

Tang Yu took the golden knife and thanked him repeatedly.

Lin Fanghe taught a few words of knife mantras and applied them in battle. Tang Yu secretly remembered it, picked up the knife, and walked out of the door.

Bypassed the corridor and went to the front yard to see Cheng Liangjia and Lin Ziren. When I entered the door, the two of them were chatting with a post house keeper in his forties.

Guan Cheng said: "We were born and raised here, how can we not know Jinxiang Hutong? It is a place on Qinglu Street in the east of the city for people to have fun. When the Mongols were in control, the merchants and travelers, princes and nobles, and emigrants from the Western Regions gathered here, which can be described as prosperous. But now that times have changed, this place is not as good as it used to be......"

Cheng Liangjia nodded: "Why did Brother Guancheng say that?"

"With the decline of the Mongol Empire, the severance of Western European trade and the relocation of the new city to the south, Qinglu Street gradually lost its central position. ”

"How's that going now?"

"Hooligans, beggars, and thieves are infested, and the law and order conditions are extremely poor, which can be described as a place to hide filth and filth. ”

Cheng Liangjia nodded again and again, twisted the short mustache on his lips, and said, "We have to find someone to sneak in and take a look." Although Lord Lin and I don't have much hope for this trip, if we don't go for a walk, we always feel uneasy, and if we miss any important clues, won't we regret it?"

Tang Yu stepped forward and took the initiative to ask: "Cheng Zhutou, let me go to Jinxiang Hutong for a walk, how about exploring the truth and reality?" In order to avoid trouble, I don't want too many people, just go alone......

When Guan Cheng heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Qinglu Street is really chaotic, except for collecting taxes, ordinary public servants never go there." It can be described as a three-regardless region. Bandits make trouble, you are alone, I am afraid that there will be more than luck. ”

Tang Yu tied his belt, patted his chest and said: "I have been practicing martial arts with my father-in-law since I was a child, and I have been rough with my fists and feet, and I have no problem dealing with a few thieves. ”

Lin Ziren also advised: "It's better to be careful." In order not to attract attention, you still changed your official attire and went with makeup, which is not only convenient for questioning, but also easy to advance and retreat?"

Tang Yu listened, so he took off the soap-colored hat on his head, and entered the house to change into a half-old cloth robe, with a strip of cloth strangled in his hair, and his sleeves rolled up high, looking like an ordinary street dress. Back in the hospital, several people told him to be careful. Tang Yu comprehended them one by one, didn't say much, and left.

The streets are bustling with pedestrians.

Tang Yu passed through the downtown area, walked through the alleys, strode forward, and rushed to Jinxiang Hutong of Qinglu Street in a short time. After turning a corner, I saw a row of bungalows in front of me. There is a lantern hanging on the door. The three or five women with eyebrow drawings either crossed their waists and some leaned against the door, waving their hands to attract customers.

When he saw Tang Yu, he greeted him warmly: "Guest officer, please ...... in the house"

Tang Yu said: "I'm going to 'Qunfang Spectrum'." ”

A prostitute with a melon seed face and white skin grabbed him: "Where is there no fun spending money? I have to go to his house, we have ice and fire poisonous dragons, stockings massage, and beautiful women's haircuts, which are guaranteed to satisfy you." ”

Tang Yu pretended to be rude, pushed her away, and scolded: "You are ugly, disgusting, I don't like it, master!" The prostitute screamed and dispersed, speaking viciously to each other. Tang Yu ignored it and walked forward.

After entering a side street and walking a few more steps, he came to a house. The two lanterns hang high at the head of the door, and the decoration of the door face is much neater than that of others. The wooden plaque on the door is engraved with several gilt characters of "Qunfang Spectrum". He climbed the steps and raised his hand to slam the door twice.

After a while, a big man opened the door, only to see him bald and bare-armed, wearing a palm-wide cowhide belt with copper nails embedded in it. He was swarthy and muscular. The two stared at Tang Yu: "What are you doing!"

Tang Yu sank his face and shouted, "What else can you do here?" What can you say yourself......" The fierce man's face was gloomy, and he reluctantly turned sideways, and Tang Yu had already stepped into the courtyard.
