Chapter 6: The Secret of Happiness for a Girl Wandering in a Strange Cave (23)
Luo Manju agrees with Bai Gongzi's opinion, businessmen are profit-seeking, and naturally they value the commercial value of Xie Mansion cheats, they are interested in Xie Mansion cheats, and they are concerned that cheats can be exchanged for a large sum of silver.
Bai Gongzi thought: "Even the Shangjia Society is talking about the secret book of Xie Mansion, which shows that the people in the martial arts have spread the news of the secret book of Xie Mansion to the ears of some shopkeepers, and the businessman is also eyeing the secret book of Xie Mansion, and the matter is more complicated." ”
"There are some shopkeepers in the Shangjia Society who believe that the secret book of Xie Mansion is real, and there is a shopkeeper who opened a gambling house said one thing, he said that he had heard people talk about it in the gambling house, a sect in the martial arts had sent someone to explore the secret book of Xie Mansion, and after exploring for a while, the explorer found a mysterious picture in an ancient temple, it is said that the picture is related to the location of the secret book of Xie Fu, because the symbols in the picture are too secret, so far, no one has been able to decipher the real location of the secret book of Xie Fu. I don't know if the statement of the gambling house shopkeeper is true or false, but at least it shows that even the gambling house in the capital is talking about the secrets of Xie Fu. Romanju said.
"The gambling house is a place with many people, businessmen, officials, gang members and social ruffians and even Qinglou women may go to the gambling house, and because it is a place where all three religions and nine streams may go, so the exchange of news is also very much and very fast, according to this son, the casino shopkeeper will not say ±∠ Make something out of nothing, although the real situation is not necessarily as he said, but someone has found a clue about the secret book of Xie Fu, which is likely to be true, you will find a reason to talk to the shopkeeper of the gambling house in the future, and carefully ask him what else he has heard about the secret book of Xie Fu, of course, you can't make him feel that you are paying attention to the secret book of Xie Fu, you are a smart person, you know what to do. Bai Gongzi said.
"Don't worry. There is a way to let the shopkeeper of the gambling house tell everything he knows, and now there are more and more people who care about the secrets of Xie Fu, it is said that almost all the sects of martial arts have sent people to investigate the cheats, but some are blatantly investigating, and some are secretly investigating, and the heads of various sects are salivating over the secrets of Xie Mansion. They all dream of getting cheats. In addition, I heard that among the eunuchs in the harem and the generals in the court, there are also people who are secretly looking for the secrets of the Xie Mansion. Romanju said.
"Even the shopkeepers in the Shangjia Society are talking about the secrets of the Xie Mansion, the eunuchs and the generals pay attention to the secrets of the Xie Mansion What's strange, the eunuchs want to learn martial arts from the cheats, so as to be invincible in the competition between the harem and the entire officialdom; Didn't you just say that? The cultural relics merchant surnamed Hong talked about the secrets of the Xie Mansion many times. It is estimated that he regards the Xie Mansion cheats as extremely precious treasures, and if he also wants to participate in the exploration and competition for the Xie Mansion cheats, then he must want to earn silver from them. Romanju said.
"Man Ju, the news you said is very important, we must keep abreast of the major events in the martial arts, the people in the martial arts, the shopkeepers in the business world, as well as the eunuchs in the harem and the generals in the court. are all paying attention to this Xie Fu cheats, which reminds us to pay attention. Exploring the cheats of Xie Mansion is a major event in the martial arts at the moment, you must pay attention to this major event, pay attention to collecting relevant news, if you hear important news, please come to report to this son, if this son is not there. You can directly tell the news to contact your Xiaobai just now, this matter is very important, please remember!" Bai Gongzi said.
"Remember, I will definitely keep an eye on the matter of Xie Fu's cheats and collect relevant information. Please rest assured, Bai Gongzi, you won't make a mistake here!" Luo Manju said.
"Okay, it's good that you understand, let's talk about this here today, you have another cup of tea, hurry back as much as possible, continue to keep an eye on the situation in the Shangjia Society, and inquire about useful news. For the sake of secrecy, I won't leave you here to eat, you go back, my son will report your achievements to the 'shopkeeper He', you have to make persistent efforts to collect more information. Bai Gongzi said.
Roman Ju said goodbye and left, and after a while, another person came, this person surnamed Wu, a lady in her thirties, she was lurking in a gang.
Ms. Wu had never met Bai Gongzi before, and after the two sides verified the contact code, Ms. Wu reported to Bai Gongzi what she heard in the gang, she said that the most talked about in the gang recently was the attack on the people of the police department when the gang leaders of the "Baoyue Building" gathered, and now, the people of the gang have a fear of Murong Yun and the two mysterious women who attacked the "Baoyue Tower" at that time.
Ms. Wu also talked about an incident that happened a few days ago, and this incident is closely related to the investigation of the secret books of the Xie Mansion.
Ms. Wu told Bai Gongzi: "A few days ago, there was a person who came to the gang from the police department, found the gang leader, and asked the gang leader to find out if anyone in the gang heard about the secret book of Xie Mansion, and the help leader inquired about the disciples of Xie Mansion, and no one seemed to hear about the secret book of Xie Mansion. ”
Bai Gongzi listened to Ms. Wu's report, and he felt that this time the people of the police department moved very quickly, and they had extended the tentacles of the investigation to various gangs, and the police department's trick of using the gang to find out the news was very effective, because the people in the gang have always been more well-informed.
After Ms. Wu's surname left, two more people came, the first person was a person lurking in a wine shop, she reported to Bai Gongzi some news she had heard, and the news she said was mainly about how businessmen befriended officials and bribed officials, and did not talk about the secrets of Xie Fu.
The second person came with Xiaobai, a young girl surnamed Liu, who was lurking in the mansion of a high-ranking official.
Miss Liu told Bai Gongzi about some things she had heard in the high-ranking officials' mansions, the main topic was how the officials of the DPRK and China competed with each other, demolished each other and framed each other, and finally, she talked about one thing, which caught Bai Gongzi's attention.
Miss Liu said: "Once, when a high-ranking official in the palace retired from the court and returned to the mansion, he talked about what he heard when he had a relationship with a general, and the general told the high-ranking official in the palace. There are several generals are very interested in talking about the Xie Mansion cheats, most of the generals are martial arts, they are particularly fond of the martial arts cheats, recently they heard that the Xie ancestors left the martial arts cheats, they are particularly interested in this, these generals are quite familiar with the martial arts deeds in the history of the Xie family, they believe that the Xie ancestors passed down the Xie Mansion cheats is a real thing, there are several generals who want to get the Xie Mansion cheats, however, they did not really take action. ’”
Bai Gongzi listened to what Miss Liu said. He felt that the matter of the secret book of Xie Mansion has now spread more widely, not only the people in the martial arts are talking about it, the shopkeepers in the business world are talking about it, but even the military generals of the DPRK and China are also talking about it with great interest, and the secret book of Xie Mansion has become an open secret, which will trigger a new round of fierce competition for the secret book of Xie Mansion. Next, the battle for cheats will become more and more complicated.
Miss Liu said goodbye to Bai Gongzi, and Xiao Bai sent Miss Liu to the door of the inn, and then Xiao Bai returned to the living room of the VIP room.
Bai Gongzi sat on the oak chair, sipping tea and thinking deeply, Xiao Bai sat down and helped Bai Gongzi pour tea.
After sitting quietly for a while, Xiaobai finally couldn't help it. He asked, "Bai Gongzi, you have met with four people in a row at such a fast speed, and you have talked to them a lot, is it rewarding?"
"Of course there is, there is a lot of gain, these four informants are doing a good job, they are lurking in different places, but they are also looking for news. Judging from what they talked about this time, it is still very useful for our actions. This time, we found four people, and three of them talked about the secret book of Xie Mansion, which let us know at least three aspects of the news, first, the people of the police department moved quickly, and the people of the Zhengtong Guò gang were helping them understand the secret book of Xie Mansion; Not only Wulin, but also other circles are paying attention to the cheats of the Xie Mansion, and even the generals of the court and the shopkeepers of the Shangjia Society are also talking about the cheats, and the situation will become more and more complicated; third, there will be more and more people involved in snatching the cheats of the Xie Mansion. The competition for cheats will be extremely fierce, the situation is very complicated, and unpredictable variables may appear at any time, and this will greatly increase the difficulty of our work, and we must be mentally prepared to face greater difficulties!" Bai Gongzi said.
"It seems that you decided to stay in this 'Yuebin Building' for a while is very correct, you can sit in the inn and summon people from all walks of life to report to you, this is an effective way to quickly collect news, we only called four people, there are so many gains, this thing is done well." Xiaobai said.
"You should understand that we called these four informants, this is not called casually, but selected from nearly ten informants, they have been collecting more information, and selecting them, we have a greater possibility of obtaining useful information, and sure enough, as we expected, they brought us a lot of useful information. Bai Gongzi said.
"What should we do next? Evacuate from this 'Yuebin Building'? or find another group of informants to talk to?" Xiaobai asked.
"Although this inn is a big inn, but its concealment is not bad, let's not leave for the time being, use this action base to start a new operation, and then you are responsible for staying in the inn, if those four people have any new news, they will come here to report, you can receive them, remember the news they reported clearly, this son must go out to find clues, find a way to find the person we are looking for." Bai Gongzi said.
"Is it safe for you to go out alone? Xiaobai didn't go out with you, I'm really a little worried, don't take too much risk, otherwise, once something happens, Xiaobai will have no way to explain to the 'shopkeeper He' when he goes back!" Xiaobai said.
"Hehe, you little elf, this son is not worried about you, you are worried about this son, this son has walked the rivers and lakes independently for many years, and there is experience, what can happen? But you should be more careful, don't think that you are safe if you stay in the inn, our task is special, maybe someone will target us, you stay in the VIP room by yourself, you must be especially vigilant!" Bai Gongzi said.
"Don't worry, Xiaobai is just a scholar, inconspicuous, will not attract the attention of others, but you, you have to be especially careful, you are such a chic and handsome noble son, dignified appearance, elegant manners, beware of many beautiful young women will entangle you, so that you can not escape if you try to break free, at that time, Xiaobai can not save you. Xiaobai said with a smile.
"You little elf, you are getting more and more naughty, you are the scholar of this child, did the scholar say that the master spoke like this? You have to be careful, after you go back, this son will punish you heavily!" Bai Gongzi said to Xiaobai with a stern expression.
"You won't have a chance to punish Xiaobai, because as soon as Xiaobai goes back, he will ask for the protection of 'Shopkeeper He', and then you won't be able to punish him, haha!" Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Okay, don't make trouble, this son has serious words to say to you, you have to remember, you have a person left in the inn, especially be careful of the people in the inn, including the inn's shopkeeper, Xiao Er, etc., also including the guests who live in the inn, usually, if someone wants to follow us, then, they are very likely to hide around us, maybe in the inn, so, you try not to interact with the people in the inn, it is better to stay quietly in the VIP room by yourself, our task is very special, confidentiality is very important. Bai Gongzi said. (To be continued......)
