On the first day of the new year, I wish all book friends a happy new year, a prosperous Year of the Monkey, and a happy family!

Along the way, day and night, avoiding checkpoints, when Duan Qianqiu came to Huaiyin Mansion, it was already December 4th.

Huaiyin Province is located in the core of the water and land arteries, with developed transportation, commercial agriculture and fishery. Therefore, the imperial court specially set up the Huaiyin Caoyun Governor's Mansion here, choking the hub of Caoyun, salt transportation, river transportation, post post and Yuguan, and Huaiyin entered its heyday. The city is full of traffic, businessmen gathered, all kinds of characters, bustling from south to north, and there is an endless stream.

Duan Qianqiu went around the city, especially the streets around the Yunju Teahouse, he personally walked through them, and he knew the length of the streets, the location of obstacles, the density of people, and the staggered connection with other surrounding streets.

He hadn't entered the Yunju teahouse to inspect, he just observed from a distance, and saw that the teahouse was uniquely decorated, elegant, bustling, and noisy.

The pastries and dishes in the Yunju teahouse are all in charge of the famous chef, the taste is unique, the reputation is all over the world, it is the highest grade teahouse in the city, the dignitaries and nobles in the city are very fond of coming here to eat tea and chat, sometimes a meal is a morning, the teahouse charges quite expensive, not everyone can afford to consume.

Especially the private room on the third floor, it is not possible to book it if you have money, basically only the powerful high-ranking officials in the city can book, Yuntao private room is in the center, it is the usual gathering place of the Caoyun Governor's Palace, even if it is empty on weekdays, no one dares to book, so it is basically the same as the private residence of the Governor's Palace.

Duan Qianqiu stood outside the Yunju teahouse for a while, and then figured out a way to get in and out of the teahouse.

At this time, it has been more than ten days since Shen Weijing was assassinated, and the imperial list of the murderer was posted at the Huaiyin City Gate and various thoroughfares, and Duan Qianqiu also squeezed into the crowd to watch, but there was only one person wanted, that is, Wang Bingwang, the housekeeper who took him into the mansion, the chubby round-faced middle-aged man.

"He's been exposed, has my identity been revealed? Why else are so many people chasing me on the road? Who are these people?"

Duan Qianqiu recalled the several black-clothed men who helped him block the guards outside Shen Weijing's door that night, as well as Wang Bingwang, who was now wanted all over the city, Yao Qianhua who plotted against him after he fled, and Li Yuhe in the inn, a series of aggressive and strange things, as if strung together by an invisible silk thread.

Duan Qianqiu suddenly felt that he was like a chess piece, being at the mercy of a giant hand in the red dust without knowing it, and he couldn't help but feel a feeling of depression and hatred.

It's December 5th.

Cai Liancheng was in a high-rise building, sitting by the window.

Outside the building, there is a noisy street, such as the flow of people, and a little further on, is the main entrance of the Yunju Teahouse, which is facing the mansion of the Yunju Teahouse, which was originally owned by a wealthy local businessman in Huaiyin, and Cai Liancheng bought it seven days ago.

Wealthy businessmen are not short of money, and they don't want to sell them, but what Cai Liancheng wants to buy, there are basically few people who can refuse.

Now is the best time to drink morning tea, and it is also the time when Yunju Teahouse has the most people, he holds a telescope in his hand, looks at the crowd coming in and out for a while, and then asks the people around him: "Are all our people arranged? How are the people on the third floor changing? Are there people at the exits around? And the support of the surrounding streets?"

There has been a person standing beside him, with a dignified body and a dignified appearance, a pair of eyes shooting cold stars, a pair of thick eyebrows flying straight into the mane, and replied in a gentle and calm voice: "The first floor, the second floor, and the third floor are all monitored by our people in disguise, Yao Qianhua is on the first floor, and Lao Liulu Hanshi is wandering around the periphery of the teahouse, monitoring everywhere. The allocation of personnel and their respective positions have been arranged. The running hall on the third floor was replaced by two of our people, and the exits around were heavily guarded. There are two reinforcement units in the surrounding streets, which can cope with emergencies and follow up on them. Led by the jade general Tian Hengyu and the rain sword Mu March. ”

Cai Liancheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Some people often say that those who have to be the wind can get half of the rivers and lakes, you have the material to unify the army, but you are willing to be a domestic slave in the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't you feel wronged by following me for so long?"

"Little Heavenly King" Ren Storm said: "Xiangye and Xiaoxiangye both have the wind of the master, Ren can be a follower, it is already overjoyed, how to talk about grievances." His words were already a great rebellion. However, Cai Liancheng accepted it with a smile.

"It's just that we've been staring like this for four days, and there is still no movement, and no one has gone in to drink tea in the Yuntao private room on the third floor, could it be that the other party thinks that the news has leaked and changed the location of the joint?" Ren Hurfeng asked.

"Seeing that the connector committed suicide by taking poison after swallowing the note, he should have been caught off guard and the information was intercepted by us. Even if the fleeing person wants to report the news, he will inevitably come to this junction place. Cai Liancheng looked at a tattered note on the table next to him, with more than ten words blurred on it: Huaiyin Mansion Yunju Building... Tao Ya Room... Wu....

Ren Hurry said: "The poison in the stomach of the innkeeper is very strong, and it was prompted by strong liquor, if it wasn't for the caesarean section at that time, he might not even be able to get these news." ”

Cai Liancheng sighed and said, "Then let's wait a little longer and see our luck! Isn't there many times in life that we rely on luck?!"

In the lobby of the Yunju Tea House, near a table at the entrance of the upstairs building, sat Yao Qianhua and two men.

She was dressed very ordinarily, just like a little daughter-in-law from an ordinary family casually looking for a place to eat some refreshments on the side of the street.

Next to her sat two men with sharp eyes and light movements, both of whom belonged to the Eagle Division of Cai Liancheng's Four Guards Dragon, Tiger and Eagle Elephant Division, both of whom were masters of light martial arts, skilled in tracking and assassinating.

She has been changing her makeup every day and monitoring here for four days, and she is already faintly impatient in her heart.

Since she and Lu Hanshi were severely injured by Duan Qianqiu, she returned to the next stronghold, and immediately hand-painted Duan Qianqiu's portrait, using the stronghold's messenger flying pigeon to quickly spread the message to the sentinels everywhere.

The Jianghuai region was the economic center of the empire, and the Cai government had been operating in this area for many years, and there were many sentry strongholds, which were very deep-rooted, and they all used carrier pigeons to transmit messages, and the information spread quickly and effectively.

The volley of the original Fengxiang Yuanyu Inn was presided over by Ren Hurricane.

According to Ren Hurricane's later account, the so-called Mr. Xiao, who has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth and exist like a god, is not so powerful.

Because according to the report of his subordinate sentry at that time, they had been following Duan Qianqiu for a long time, and he didn't notice it at all, so the sentry agent followed Duan Qianqiu to the Yuanyu Inn very smoothly on the night of November 26, and reported to the little heavenly king Ren Hurricane at that time and completed the raid. It's a pity that there are too few people, so I didn't catch "Mr. Xiao" on the spot.

Yao Qianhua couldn't stop sneering after listening to it at that time, she knew Duan Qianqiu's skills very well, Ren Huanfeng wanted to capture him with his own strength, it was a fool's dream at all.

She admitted that Ren Hurricane had a hand in organization and planning, but if it came to using force, she and Lu Hanshi would only be beaten up if they joined forces to deal with Duan Qianqiu, and Ren Hurricane wanted to take the big credit alone, and the result could be imagined. More than half of the elites of Yunbei Province were killed and wounded in that battle, and Ren Hurricane was responsible for not being able to detect the enemy clearly and commanding improperly, but he was quite favored by the little minister, and he also obtained information on the location of the joint, so he was not investigated.

Yao Qianhua thought hatefully in her heart, while observing the people who went upstairs and downstairs, a running hall junior came over to refill the water for them, and after refilling the water, the teapot lid was not covered, and they left.

It was someone on the third floor who was delivering a message to them, and there was nothing unusual upstairs, and no one came to the private room.
