Chapter 8 Section VIII

The huge picture scroll was slowly displayed in front of everyone, attracting everyone's attention. Except for the inner wall of the imperial palace in the north, which is completely blank, the street layout of the entire capital is drawn in great detail, and all of them are in proportion. Meng Zhen looked at the map and looked at Yu Runsheng with admiration.He had never heard of such a detailed official map of the capital, and he believed that Yu Runsheng did not obtain it from the Grand Master's Mansion, but drew it by his own subordinates.Yu Runsheng must have established a very complete information system, and the manpower and financial resources spent on making this map are definitely not cheap.

There were seven people present in Yu Runsheng's study: Yu Runsheng, Rong Xiaoshan, Meng Zhen, Di Bin, Mao Gonglei, Hua Quewu, and Chen Du who was sitting at the bottom of the table - he was originally Ye Yi's subordinate, but Four years older than Ye Yi; also from the "Xing Leng'er" background, he had worked as a scout in the army before; because of his thin stature, he was nicknamed "Monkey Head" in the "Big Tree Hall" "... After Ye Yi's mysterious death last year, Yu Runsheng promoted him to replace his intelligence work, and the result made Yu Runsheng very satisfied.

In addition to these seven people, Zao Qi, who was like a savage, was loyally guarding the door. Rong Xiaoshan glanced at the map, but seemed to lack interest. "I've been planning this for several months." Yu Runsheng spoke first.Rong Xiaoshan heard the meaning in his words: he meant that he didn't take Rong Yushan's benefits but didn't do anything. "Assassinating Zhang Shuai is not an easy task." Huaquewu said. "You probably know why people give him the title 'Curse Army Master'?" The mystery of Zhang Shuai's own travels and possessions has already become a legend of the underworld in the capital.During the gang wars that year, there were even rumors that he could perform the clone demon technique.

Of course Rong Yushan knew this too.Not only Zhang Shuai himself, but also his subordinates. The Rong family and his son still cannot figure out the exact number and arrangement, or which outstanding cadres there are.The expenses of Zhang Jijiu have always been paid directly from the "Feng Yilong Head Office"—that is, Boss Han himself—and no one else can investigate.The only thing that is certain is that Zhang Shuai will not be able to mobilize too many people, probably no more than 500 people, otherwise it would be impossible to hide so well. "Since last year, I have been sending people to track Zhang Shuai's whereabouts, almost every time it is cut off after one or two days. At most, I can only confirm whether he has left the city." Yu Runsheng said, stroking his beard.

Rong Xiaoshan nodded slightly.Of course they have done this too, with the same futility. For more than ten years, Rong Yushan also tried many times to plant an inside line around Zhang Shuai, but all of them failed-either died mysteriously or disappeared, or was transferred to a idle job in another state. Rong Yushan also had to admire the vigilance of the "Curse Army Master". "Then there is no other way?" Rong Xiaoshan asked impatiently. "No." Yu Runsheng looked directly at Rong Xiaoshan and said with a smile. Rong Xiaoshan felt uncomfortable being watched by Yu Runsheng.

——This guy is definitely a dangerous man...Maybe it really takes such a man to bring down Zhang Shuai, right?But I have to beware of him... Yu Runsheng reached out to touch the map on the table.Meng Zhen, who was sitting beside Rong Xiaoshan, looked at the pale palm covering the capital, his eyes flickered, but there was no expression on his face. "We followed up and got results about four months ago." Yu Runsheng continued. "We found one thing: Zhang Shuai has a woman in Kyoto." When Rong Xiaoshan heard it, his thick eyebrows raised upwards. Yu Runsheng's palm continued to swim across the map, and finally stopped at the northwest corner of the outer city of the capital.There is where Wendingfang is located, on the west side of the imperial palace, close to the outer city wall.

"He placed his woman here." Rong Xiaoshan knows the capital like the back of his hand, and of course he knows Wendingfang.Due to its proximity to the imperial palace, Wendingfang is the residence of many middle-level officials. It is far from the city center, and the environment is quite quiet and peaceful.Rong Yushan also owns several properties there. "It's very close to the city gate." Mao Gonglei pointed to the northwest corner of the city wall on the map.That small city gate is called Jiyuan Gate, and it is rarely used by people on weekdays. Yu Runsheng nodded. "Zhang Shuai must have spent a lot of money to buy off the forbidden army guarding Jiyuan Gate. Every time he went to visit a woman, he always left the city from Zhende Gate in the south. On the surface, he traveled far, but in fact he detoured and crossed the west of the suburbs of Beijing. Sneaking back to the city from afar—that’s why no one noticed that he had this woman.”

Rong Xiaoshan looked suspicious.He and his father have spent many years of hard work, but they have not been able to grasp such important information. "How did you find out?" Meng Zhen who was beside him had already asked the question on his behalf. Yu Runsheng looked at Chen Du and motioned him to explain it for him. "When we tracked Zhang Shuai, we found that he went out of the city more often than he entered the city - we concluded that he must have a special passage to return to Beijing." Chen Du's voice was thin but clear. "At first I thought it was just that the subordinates had leaked the situation of his entry into the city. But after accumulating, I found that this situation must happen about every ten days. I seized this day and stepped up sending people to keep a close eye on each city gate. After two After more than a month, it was only once that I finally found out that the car he was transferring was coming in from Jiyuan Gate."

Then, of course, based on the whereabouts of the car, the woman's residence was locked.It goes without saying that everyone understands this. "She lives here." Chen Du stood up, picked up a thin needle from the table, and inserted it into one of the streets in Wendingfang on the map. "I have investigated carefully. The woman's surname is Zeng, and no one knows the details of her origin—probably she does not have a household registration in Kyoto, but is from another place. She has lived in that house for more than five years. She is about 30 years old. There are only two people in the house. A maid and an old handyman..." Chen Du continued to tell trivial information about this woman.

Rong Xiaoshan looked at Mengzhen.Meng really listened attentively, obviously remembering silently.Rong Xiaoshan was very satisfied. After returning, he immediately sent someone to check again to see if this important information about Yu Runsheng was true. "Sounds like the kind of woman Zhang Shuai can sleep with." Rong Xiaoshan said with a smile. "We have been closely monitoring that house since then," Yu Runsheng said. "Several different carriages entered the front yard on different days in turn. Although Zhang Shuai himself could not be seen, the day and time when Zhang Shuai left the city completely coincided."

"Good job." Rong Xiaoshan said excitedly. "When is the next time? I'll go back and tell Dad so he can get ready." "No." Yu Runsheng replied decisively. "I must be the main force to deal with Zhang Shuai. Over the years, Zhang Shuai must have planted traitors among Rong Jijiu's subordinates. Once he notices that there is a change, he will not give us as cunning as a 'cursed army division' A second chance." Yu Runsheng's palm moved to the east of the map and stopped above the head office of "Feng Yilong" in Jiuweifang. "What's more, once Zhang Shuai dies, Rong Jijiu must go to Boss Han at the same time to force him to give up his seat." Rong Xiaoshan didn't say a word, which meant that this was Rong Yushan's plan by default. "Then, please brother Yu bring back the head of Zhang Jijiu." Meng Zhen said. "Rong Jijiu must be very satisfied with this arrangement." "Of course, this is the time to repay Rong Jijiu's promotion." Yu Runsheng nodded. Di Bin, who was at the side, heard this sentence, and felt a slight sense of nervousness in his heart. A mutiny had already been decided. "But there is one more condition." Yu Runsheng withdrew his palm and stroked his beard again. "I hope Mr. Rong can personally supervise our assassination, so that my subordinates will feel more at ease." Rong Xiaoshan was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood the meaning of Yu Runsheng's words.Given Yu Runsheng's status, if he killed Zhang Jijiu alone, he would inevitably become a rebellious murderer in the eyes of the "Feng Yilong" gang; this action can show that the assassination was approved by Rong Yushan. Rong Xiaoshan didn't comment, just shrugged and said: "It depends on whether Dad agrees, I'll discuss it with him when I go back. Then, when will we act?" Yu Runsheng raised two fingers. "Two months?" Mao Gonglei scratched his curly hair. "That's the celebration of the tenth year of Emperor Lao Tzu's ascension to the throne." "There are so many people during the celebration, which can just cover up our scheduling." Di Bin replied. "Brother Yu thinks very carefully." Rong Xiaoshan said with a grin.He looked at the map on the table, then stood up and looked around the room.Although he has not yet decided whether to come to supervise in person, Rong Xiaoshan already has the will to command major actions. "Two months later, 'Curse Army Division' will disappear from the world."
