Chapter 6: Joining Forces to Unmask the Wicked (26)
In the residential area near the southern suburbs of the capital, in the house behind the broken temple, Liu Baiye took off his beggar clothes and put on gorgeous clothes, he tasted the best Longjing tea, and was in a very good mood.
However, Liu Baiye knew very well in his heart that he had to sell the news as much as possible, otherwise, the news would soon depreciate. He was thinking about how to sell it and to whom he could sell it in exchange for more silver.
Liu Baiye decided to act immediately, he knew that there were many eyes and ears in the capital, and he had to rush before Shen Deyi and the others understood the situation, and spread the news to all the major sects in the rivers and lakes, so that the news would have the best effect, and the price could be sold relatively high.
Liu Baiye said to do it, he began to act, he gave full play to his superb light skills and wonderful makeup and disguise skills, wandering between the various sects of the rivers and lakes, selling the heavy news he obtained.
Liu Baiye believed that Murong Yun was a trustworthy knight, but he was also worried that Murong Yun would inadvertently leak the news after returning to Jingyuan Mountain, so the first stop of his dispatch was the Yuanshan faction, and he had to sell the news to Jia Tianming, the head of the Yuanshan faction, before Murong Yun returned to the mountain.
On Jingyuan Mountain, Jia Tianming was about to go to the mountain to inspect everywhere, he often took time to suddenly inspect various places on the mountain from time to time, and urged the person in charge of each place to manage the affairs of the mountain.
In the evening, Jia Tianming was walking towards the back mountain. Suddenly, a cronie guard came to report and said: "The head of the family, there is an old monk, who said that his surname is Liu, he said that it is your old friend, and he asked to see him outside the mountain gate just now, but after a while, he disappeared again!"
"There are four guards guarding the mountain gate, and two guards are patrolling, and a monk disappeared right under his nose. What do they eat?" Jia Tianming asked.
"I heard. They were about to come in and report to you, when a few of the guards turned around and talked, and the monk was gone!" said the guard.
Jia Tianming pondered: "An old monk is an old friend. It's surnamed Liu. Who could he be?" He remembered: "The most famous person surnamed Liu in the rivers and lakes should be Liu Baiye, who is "in charge of everything", is it him? However, he is not an old monk. Did he come here with makeup?"
Jia Tianming decided not to inspect the back mountain anymore, he walked to the council hall, as soon as he entered the door of the chamber, he looked inside, only to see an old monk sitting upright on the Nanmu chair inside, he saw Jia Tianming come in, so he got up and said: "Master Jia, the old man trespassed into the council hall without permission, please understand! However, the old man has already reported outside the mountain gate, it is not offensive, haha!"
"Sure enough, it's you, Mr. Liu, you wear so good makeup, and you're more like a great monk than the masters I got along with in Southern Shaolin back then, really have you, with your light skills and disguise skills, how can the mountain gate and high wall of Jingyuan Mountain stop you?" Jia Tianming said.
"The head of Jia Da praised it falsely, how dare the old man get an axe in front of you with the kung fu of the three-legged cat, who doesn't know that you are a great master of today's martial arts, just because we are very familiar people, the old man dares to break into your council hall without permission, otherwise, trespass on Jingyuan Mountain, can I still save my old life?" Liu Baiye said.
"Mr. Liu, you have always been very busy, you will not climb Jingyuan Mountain if you have nothing to do, come to my council room, there must be some good news to tell me, right?" Jia Tianming asked.
"Haha, it is said that today's martial arts, among the heads of various factions, Jia Da is the most wise, it seems that it really deserves its reputation, how can the old man hide it from you, this mountaineering visit is indeed bringing you heavy news, however, this news may cause you sadness, I hope you are psychologically prepared first, and the old man dares to say it. Liu Baiye deliberately used stimulating topics to provoke Jia Tianming's attention.
"Mr. Liu, let's say, Tianming has experienced a lot in the rivers and lakes, and he won't be so weak, just say it!" Jia Tianming said calmly.
"Okay, you must still have a deep impression of the incident that happened in the 'Mingli Pavilion', your brother-in-law, the heroic Lin Mingyi, unfortunately passed away prematurely, it's just that his murder is very strange, you must also have questions, right?" Liu Baiye asked deliberately.
"Ming Yi's death is indeed very strange, and the people in Jingyuan Mountain don't believe that it was Lu Zhongkun who killed him, does Mr. Liu know the real reason why he was killed? Do you know the real murderer?" Jia Tianming asked with great interest.
"Regarding the death of your brother-in-law, at least eighty percent of what the old man knows is the truth, and can basically answer your questions, and the old man can also tell a very specific story about the cause of the battle between the Yashan faction and the Yuanshan faction, Jia Da must want to know, right?"
"Mr. Liu knows Tianming, you have helped me before, I will not treat Mr. Liu badly, you just say, don't worry, Tianming has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and he also knows the price of heavy news, and he will definitely thank Mr. Liu heavily." Jia Tianming knew that Liu Baiye was thinking about silver, so he took the initiative to say it first.
Strictly speaking, the real murderer of your brother-in-law is not Lu Zhongkun, but the subordinate of Shen Deyi, the eunuch of the Duzhi Prison Seal, is very likely to be Huang Shengjie, the deputy commander of the Police Division, when Lu Zhongkun attacked the 'Mingli Pavilion', Huang Shengjie also lurked there, and afterwards, he once said to his subordinates: 'Lu Zhongkun has gained a good reputation for nothing, with his martial arts, where can he kill Lin Mingyi? It can be seen that Huang Shengjie knows the true inside story of your brother-in-law's murder, and there is only one possibility, it was he or the person he instructed to secretly use the secret weapon first, hurting Lin Mingyi, so that Lin Mingyi could not block Lu Zhongkun's 'Red Bee Finger', Lu Zhongkun inadvertently killed Lin Mingyi, according to 'Xingfangge's ' Wild Chrysanthemum's recollection, after Lu Zhongkun killed Lin Mingyi, he was very depressed and sad, and he drank to kill his sorrows, lamenting that Lin Mingyi was a good material to learn martial arts quickly, and he shouldn't have killed him by mistake, which also shows that Lu Zhongkun didn't want to kill Lin Mingyi, and his martial arts were not as good as Lin Mingyi. The two of them fought outside from Lin Mingyi's bedroom, obviously not wanting to hurt each other, how could Lin Mingyi be killed suddenly? There must be someone behind the ghost, and the person who is doing the ghost must be Huang Shengjie!" Liu Baiye analyzed.
"The bastards killed by the Police Division these days, insidious and vicious, we have been doubting the authenticity of Ming Yi being killed by Lu Zhongkun, it is really the people of the Police Division who secretly poisoned them, they want to use the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people to provoke the contradiction between the Yuanshan faction and the Yashan faction, it is too vicious, I will never bypass them!" Jia Tianming said angrily.
"The head of Jia Da is right. It's all a conspiracy of the police department. Moreover, they also sent people to pretend to be your favorite generals Murong Yun and Ling Fenglei to make a big fuss about the 'Good Luck Gambling House', which angered Lu Zhongkun and blamed the Yuanshan faction, and also instructed his subordinates to pretend to be Qian Jinbao's cousin Ma Xiaobo. led Lu Zhongkun to attack the 'Ming Li Pavilion'; He also sent people to Bauhinia Mountain to kidnap Fang Liuhe's four favorite children. Tie them up to the 'Xingfang Pavilion', try to cause contradictions between the Jingshan faction and the Yashan faction, and so on. Liu Baiye told Jia Tianming in detail the details of all the news he had heard from Murong Yun, of course. He concealed the information he had bought from Murong Yun.
Jia Tianming has always had the ambition to dominate the martial arts, he was very surprised after listening to Liu Baiye finish Shen Deyi's "discord plan" and a series of conspiracy actions carried out by Huang Shengjie, although he had also heard Leng Ferret report that he knew that it was the people of the police department who were playing ghosts, but he didn't know that they had such a comprehensive conspiracy, he thought: " Shen Deyi, this eunuch is vicious and sinister, extremely treacherous, and Huang Shengjie is ruthless and does all kinds of evil, if it weren't for me to send Leng Ferret and others down the mountain to investigate, especially if it wasn't for Liu Baiye to sell intelligence in time today, then, once Shen Deyi's big conspiracy succeeded, the Yuanshan faction is very likely to have a fierce battle with the Yashan faction, and it will inevitably lose both, and fall for Shen Deyi's tricks, if that's the case, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the grand cause I have planned for many years will be in vain, it's terrible!"
"Mr. Liu, thank you for coming in time to spread this very important news to Tianming, I will thank you very much! I asked them to prepare wine and food, today we two good friends who haven't seen each other for a long time have a few glasses together, I must toast you with a glass of wine to show Tianming's gratitude! Your news let me know the situation in Wulin in time, especially let me know how to avenge Lin Mingyi, please Mr. Liu don't refuse!" Jia Tianming sincerely wanted to invite Liu Baiye, he thought: "This Liu Baiye is worthy of being The news king', knows so carefully about the recent events, knows more than so many informants from the Yuanshan faction, this person is an indispensable figure for me to implement my grand plan to control the martial arts, I must have a good relationship with him, and make good use of him to help me get information. ”
"Thank you, Master Jia, since you have said this, it would be too unreasonable for the old man to refuse, but the old man still has important things to do, please hurry up with the head of Jia, and the old man will accompany the head of the house to drink two cups and leave. "Liu Baiye is still in a hurry to sell information, he can't stay on Jingyuan Mountain for too long.
Jia Tianming hurriedly ordered the guards around him to hurry up and shout for wine and food.
Jia Tianming said: "Mr. Liu, your news is very important, Tianming knows, news like this is a priceless treasure, you and I are good friends, I will give you three hundred taels of silver, let you go to buy wine, buy tea, although the silver is small, but to express my gratitude, do you think it's okay?"
Liu Baiye thought: "Seeing his happy appearance when he got the news, he should have asked him for more silver, but Jia Tianming is a big customer, and asking for too much will cause him to be disgusted, so just take three hundred taels, this has already earned one hundred taels, besides, this news is actually from Murong Yun of the Yuanshan faction, and the head of the Yuanshan faction can't be sold too harshly." ”
Liu Baiye said to Jia Tianming: "Why should you be polite, you are the most famous head of the martial arts, the old man walks the rivers and lakes, and you need to be covered everywhere, how dare the old man talk to you about the silver, you can give as much as you want, we are good friends, the news from the old man, as long as it can help you, the old man will be very happy!"
Jia Tianming smiled slightly, and said, "It's so decided, we will cooperate in the future, and then Tianming will be grateful to Mr. Liu!" Jia Tianming asked the guards around him to fetch the silver.
The wine and food were delivered, Jia Tianming and Liu Baiye happily toasted each other, Jia Tianming intended to get closer to Liu Baiye, and Liu Baiye was also very happy to have a close relationship with this important figure in martial arts. Originally, the two of them could drink a drink and take a break, but Liu Baiye felt that his news was very timely, and he had to take advantage of Jia Tianming's news before he spread the news, and then sell the news to the next one, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and after taking the silver, he politely said goodbye.

PS: How to integrate "intelligence warfare" and "intelligence science" into martial arts novels, this is worth exploring and trying, "Jianghu Fangyuan" has made some efforts, I want to tell the story of "intelligence warfare", I hope readers like it http:///book/3051739.aspx!
