Chapter 177 Chapter Ten Clues

The four of them got off the car outside the gate of the workshop. After observing the situation, they climbed onto the tiled surface, and after running through a few houses, the target yard appeared in front of them in a short while, with only an alley in between. Take a look, you know the tricks. In the open space in front of the house, although there is a carriage parked, there are no horses pulling the carriage. The doors and windows of this house with three entrances and two courtyards connected by two patios are closed, and there is no sign of being inhabited. Kou Zhong said dejectedly: "Oops! All the witches, men and women were scared away by us."

Song Shidao was surprisingly calm, and said in a low voice: "Let's go into the house and have a look, maybe we will find something." Ba Fenghan sighed: "I think it's a waste of effort. The Yingui Sect is always known for its secretive whereabouts. That would leave any clues to trace, otherwise people would have chased them to their lair." Song Shidao shook his head and said, "This trip is different. I'm almost sure that they changed places in a hurry after Guanlong's identity was exposed the night before, in order to avoid being found on this line. This is a kind of careful driving. The measure of the annual ship, but it is easy to be ignored. With this kind of mentality, it is inevitable that there will be negligence. Then we have a way to find out."

The three of them were all moved, and they suddenly looked at Song Shidao, the second young master, with admiration. Song Shi said "Come on" and jumped into the yard first. The layout of the hall was exquisite, and there were decorations such as paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, but as Ba Fenghan expected, everything was clean, except for household utensils, nothing was left behind. Song Shidao refused to let go of any inch.When the three of them lost interest, he picked up some tea leaves from the ground, put them under his nose and sniffed them, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these should be yellow buds and leaves, straight and even, yellow in color." It is green in the middle, as tender as a boil, and shaped like a duck tongue, it is the best tea."

The three of them were dumbfounded when they heard this, thinking that only a son of a noble family like him could tell so many truths with a piece of tea. Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Even if you know what kind of tea it is, what effect can it have?" Kou Zhong interjected: "In my opinion, the demon girls of the Yin Gui sect don't bring tea with them, it should be Shangguan Long who prepared to honor them." Song Shidao happily said: "This possibility is very high. There are several tea shops in Tianjie, and three of them sell yellow bud tea, but only Shanjingju sells the first-class yellow bud leaves produced by Jingangtai. I and them The boss is quite familiar these days, so it is easy to find out whether Shangguan Long only loves this tea. If so, we will have one more clue."

All three of them were convinced. Tea has a tea addiction. I am used to drinking a certain kind of tea. Although I will change the taste occasionally, it will not change all at once.Shangguan Long should be recovering from his injuries, if he happened to send someone to buy tea, they would have a chance. Song Shuaidao inspected it again, and after finding nothing new, he walked inward. The three of them treated him like a god because of his 'investigation' skills, and hurriedly chased after him. Song Shidao entered one of the bedrooms, the bed curtains were drooping, and the bedding inside was messy. As expected, he not only left in a hurry, but also left in the middle of the night.If it is during the day, all bedding should be tidy.

When the three of them observed carefully like Song Shidao, he lifted the curtain and sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the quilt pillow and sniffed with God. The three looked up to him and waited patiently for him to speak. Seeing the three people staring at him, Song Shidao put down the quilt and said with a smile: "It's really not a big deal. It's just that I have always been in a family that pays attention to life, and it just so happens that the people of the Yin Gui sect are also very particular about this aspect, so I can't wait to see you." Show me what I think I can see from it."

Ba Fenghan said with emotion: "Second Young Master's words are very useful. All along, people in Jianghu thought that the Yin Gui faction hid in the deep mountains and poor valleys, but now it seems that it is more likely to hide their lair in the bustling metropolis It is unexpected. Otherwise, I would never be so particular about everything." Kou Zhong also asked modestly: "What kind of attention is it?" Song Shidao replied: "The sleeping tent and quilt have been scented with ordinary spices, but the pillow carries another kind of fragrance, which should come from the spice that the woman herself likes to use."

Ba Fenghan said: "Then the one who sleeps in this house can't be Jun Yu, she never uses spices." Song Shidao said: "The rosin that is smoked on the quilt is picked from the masson pine. Don't think that this is just for enjoyment. It actually has the benefits of moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, and insect repellent." He also said: "As for the fragrance on the chen, it should be the spice extracted from the top-quality sweet-scented osmanthus flower of sweet-scented osmanthus, which ordinary people can't afford. Although there are more than ten spice shops in Luoyang, only Pingfu's old shop sells this kind of Quaker fragrance. goods."

Ba Fenghan wondered: "Second Young Master really knows all the shops in Luoyang like the back of his hand." Song Shidao smiled and said: "I have been to Luoyang five times, and I wandered around the streets when I have nothing to do, so as to help Luoyang's economic development, understand?" Xu Ziling said: "Since we have the two clues of tea and spices, what should we do next?" Song Shidao said: "Let's talk about it after looking at other places! But Brother Ba is right, they won't keep things that can be taken away." The car drove out and headed towards Tianjie.

In the pursuit of Fu Junyu, Song Shidao has turned himself into their leader. Kou Zhong was puzzled, "I still don't understand why she didn't use Aunt Yu to threaten us when she fought with Wanhou several times?" Master Song said: "This shows that Jun Yu really fell into their hands, so they are afraid of people knowing. No matter how unscrupulous Zhu Yuyan is, she always has some scruples about Fu Cailin. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will not use Jun Yu." I have come to ask you to reveal the secrets of 'Duke Yang's Treasure House'." The afternoon sun broke through the clouds, and after half a day of rain, it made people feel clear and fresh.

Song Shidao took the opportunity to close his eyes to rest his mind, and the three of them did not dare to disturb him, and sat quietly, or glanced at the scenery along the way. When they arrived at Tianjie, Song Shidao slipped out of the car, while Xiao Zhang drove into a side street and waited. Ba Fenghan took the opportunity to ask Xiao Zhang to find out where the Tie Le people lived for him. Xiao Zhang proudly said: "Don't worry, Master Ba, the villain will take care of such trivial matters for you." After saying that, he jumped out of the car and went. The remaining three were waiting in the car. Xu Ziling remembered the unfinished conversation earlier, and asked Kou Zhongdao: "You said you knew that Dong Shuni lied to you, what is it?" Kou Zhong said harshly: "This matter is a long story." Then he explained the process of asking Wang Shichong to pretend to be stabbed, and then said: "In order to stabilize and strengthen Wang Shichong's confidence, I took Zhai Jiao and Tu Shufang to see Wang Shichong. The old fox immediately beamed with joy and discussed with me about being stabbed." about it. Hmph! Damn, do you know what he's proposing?" Of course, the two of them could only scratch their heads to express their ignorance. Kou Zhong imitated Wang Shichong's voice and intonation and said: "The day after tomorrow Rong Fengxiang will hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate his birthday, and all the dignified people in Luoyang will join in the fun. I didn't want to go, but now I have to go, otherwise the old man will come to assassinate me." my chance." Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan looked at each other, and the latter said: "What's the matter? Wasn't Rong Fengxiang's birthday celebration held last night?" Kou Zhong smiled bitterly: "That's why I said that Nizi was lying to me. I really don't know what her intentions are?" Xu Ziling said in a deep voice, "She wants to kill you, and this has nothing to do with Wang Shichong." Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "Why did she kill me? Maybe she just wanted to kidnap me, but what good would it do her? Isn't she afraid that Wang Shichong will annoy her?" Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "Except for Dong Shuni, I'm afraid God can answer this question for you. What kind of unconscionable things have you done to other girls?" Kou Zhong called Zhuang Tianqu and said, "What is that? Besides, she took the initiative. Regardless of her young age, her experience is richer than the three of us combined." Seeing the two people staring at him with burning eyes, Kou Zhong spread his hands and said, "Am I a man? It's human nature to make fun of every occasion, right?" Xu Ziling said: "With Dong Shuni's temperament, this matter must have something to do with men and women." Ba Fenghan laughed and said: "You may have met a jealous husband, but Dong Shuni carried out her nature of always treating love as a game, believe it or not." Kou Zhong was about to speak when Song Shidao came back and said excitedly, "I finally saw the dawn!" The small boat sailed to the confluence of Luoshui and Yunqu, and to the west was the pontoon bridge, one of the three bridges across Luoshui. There are dozens of piers, large and small, on both sides of the strait, and nearly 300 ships of various types are berthed.Ships are constantly coming and going, and the waterway traffic is frequent and lively. The boat stopped between two cargo ships. Due to the need to give way to the river channel, and the number of piers is limited, the ships are close to berthing, so their actions will not attract attention.Kou Zhong looked at the busy scene of loading and unloading goods on the shore, and said in surprise: "I only see the bustling scene in front of me, who would have thought that there are people everywhere who are claiming the king and causing wars?" Song Shidao said: "This kind of trade can bring a lot of local tax revenue, and can solve the demand and supply, so people will try their best to provide convenience. If someone is ignorant, blocks the waterway, or confiscates the goods, the business travel will be changed to other places. Business, the final loss is still your own.” Ba Fenghan slowly glanced at the boats and asked with a big headache, "Which boat is it?" Just now Song Shidao and En, the leader of the Green Snake Gang, went to the tea shop and the spice shop to inquire. Sure enough, someone came to order yesterday morning A specific batch of spices and tea leaves, and it matches perfectly with the yellow bud tea and osmanthus spices that Song Shidao recognized. The most wonderful thing is that there is only a small amount of osmanthus in Pingfu's old store, so it has to be picked up from the warehouse in the east of the city. Track it down here. Kou Zhong interjected: "Although the goods are picked up at the pier here, they can be transferred to any ship on this vast river area. Alas, this is really a fascinating array of ships. The Yingui sect really knows how to pick places." Song Shidao said confidently: "My family has always been in the water transport business, and is most familiar with this issue. The ships here can be divided into three types: merchant ships, passenger ships, and fishing boats. Because they are afraid of being infiltrated by the enemy, the inspection of ships' entry and exit is strict and the records are detailed. We I have asked Ren En to find someone to find a way to see that there is a large ship of decent size, which has been anchored here for at least two days, but no passengers or cargo have been loaded or unloaded. Although it is not far, it is not far away!" Kou Zhong convinced him sincerely: "No wonder Shi Feixuan came to look for Second Young Master, it's the first time I've met a thoughtful and thoughtful person like you." Song Shidao smiled wryly: "What am I, Song Shidao? I can't even protect my beloved." Xu Ziling was afraid that he might miss the big deal because of his injury, so he hurriedly said: "I still have an idea, that is, this ship must be moored at the outermost part of the dock like our small boats now, so that it can sail at any time." Ba Fenghan's body trembled slightly, and he quickly looked at the three-masted ship that caught his attention just now, and said: "This ship is very suspicious, it seems to be moored in the middle of the two ships, but there is no sign of half aboard on the three ships. A personal silhouette, very different from the busy situation on other ships." The three followed his gaze. I saw three boats moored at one of the piers on the opposite bank, the middle one was twice the size of the other two, and there were two floors on the deck, and sure enough there was no one moving around on the three boats. Song Shidao said: "This way, there is no need to waste time. I am asking Ren En to send people to investigate these three boats, and the results can be obtained immediately." The four of them were sitting on the second floor of a building by the river. Outside the window, they could see the unloading of goods on the pier. Not far to the left were the three suspicious ships. Downstairs is a shop specializing in salt goods, which is owned by the Green Snake Gang.In fact, all the big and small gangs in Luoyang are doing a lot of water transportation business. All along, each gang has its own specialized business, monopolizing profits, and each has its own sphere of influence. The reason why the Luoyang Gang provoked public outrage was because they often had to intervene in the business of other gangs, and because they were so powerful, they required each gang to donate filial piety every month, breaking the irrelevant rules. Since Ren En's business is salt goods, he is naturally inextricably related to the Song Clan. Kou Zhong suddenly said: "If Zhu Yuyan and Houhou are both on board, what should we do?" Xu Ziling said: "Sink their boat first, and then snatch people in the chaos." Ba Fenghan said: "Then we must plan the method and route of escape, otherwise, if anyone is singled out and caught up, it will be a big disaster. Not only can Jun Yu not be rescued, but he may even lose his life." With Ba Fenghan's arrogance and conceit, he actually said these words, it can be seen that he is not sure enough to save his life when he meets Zhu Yuyan and Houhou. Song Shidao smiled and said: "Your situation, if you call it caring, you will be chaotic. If Zhu Yuyan and Wanhou are the top fighters, then we are at most only the middle fighters. If you use the middle fighters against the top fighters, you will definitely lose." Kou Zhongdao: "It's not that I haven't thought about this issue, but we don't even know whether the two of them are on the boat, and we don't dare to investigate rashly, so we can't implement the strategy of using the middle one against the next one." Song Shidao said indifferently: "So I said that if you care about it, you will be in chaos. Tonight, Qu Ao and Fu Qian will have that unfinished battle at the Manqing Academy. Even if Zhu Yuyan and the others don't go to the scene to praise their partners, they will not miss this rare opportunity." By the way, let’s see what kind of material Fu Qian is, then our chance will come!” Kou Zhong nodded and said: "This is the only feasible way, alas! I have no choice but to miss the appointment!" Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Who did you date?" Kou Zhong replied: "This person is already a little confused just by hearing his name, his name is Song Jingang, do you accept it?" Song Shidao and Ba Fenghan were moved at the same time. The former said: "This man is not only a rare master in northern Xinjiang martial arts, but also possesses both wisdom and courage. He is Liu Wuzhou's number one fierce general." Ba Fenghan said: "I've also heard his name, in the north he is as famous as Liu Heita, they are both famous generals on the side of Megatron, they have never been defeated in a battle." He paused for a while and said: "He should have come with Tuli, why did he come to you?" Kou Zhong smiled and said: "There will be something to worry about. Although he didn't say it, he wanted me to be the assassin to assassinate Du Fuwei. Would he invite me to lead the army to fight?" Although the four of them were talking, they were all sitting facing the window, and they didn't take their eyes off the suspicious ship for a moment. Song Shidao said: "How can Song Jingang be overqualified to you? Besides, if Du Fuwei is so easy to be stabbed, he died more than a hundred times early, and even Yang Xuyan returned without success. According to my opinion, he has other detailed plans. A person like you will not be wasted." Ba Fenghan's heart moved, and he asked: "Second Young Master, do you know that Yang Xuyan is Li Shimin's man, and he came here with him, and also exchanged some tricks with us." Song Shuaidao was stunned and said, "I didn't know that he was related to Li Shimin. I only know that he is infatuated with Rong Jiaojiao, the daughter of the casino tycoon Rong Fengxiang here. This news is extremely confidential, and it took us a lot of effort to find out." Kou Zhong was startled and said: "Dong Shuni said that Rong Jiaojiao is her close friend in the boudoir. Will it... Hey!" Ba Fenghan nodded and said: "With Dong Shuni's casual style, it's not uncommon for two female servants and one male servant. Dongdu has always been the place where the old Sui royal family lived together. Yang Xuyan is a member of the noble family, so it's easy to get on with the two female servants. " Xu Ziling clapped his legs and said: "That guy Yang Xuyan saw that you didn't fall for it, so he came up to do it." Song Shidao was confused and asked, "What are you talking about?" Fortunately, at this time Ren En came up with a happy face, sat down and said: "Fortunately, I can guarantee to find the right boat!" Song Shidao said happily: "Brother Ren is so sure, it must be a discovery." Ren Ennian was in his forties, short in stature, and looked like a real businessman, but he had his own ability to be the leader of a gang. He showed a sincere smile, nodded and said: "That's true. Because someone once saw some women wearing face veils coming down from the boat, and at night. Although I only saw it once, but because those girls are in excellent shape, so I stayed Make a deep impression." Ba Fenghan said: "But it's definitely not Zhu Yuyan or Wanwan, with their skills, how can they be easily seen by others." Song Shidao calmly said: "Brother Ren, please arrange some dishes for us, and the wine is free. Let's compare patience with the temptresses of the Yin Gui Sect!" After Ren En agreed, he said to Ba Fenghan: "There is news from Tie Le people. The place where Qu Ao settled is at a house in Xingyifang in the northeast of the city. This house belongs to Du Ganmu of the Luliang sect, and Du Ganmu Ganmu is subordinate to King Dong of Yue." Ba Fenghan sighed and said: "Thank you for your help! But now I can't separate myself, I hope Qu Ao can defeat Fu Qian, otherwise I am not interested in picking the defeated army to fight in the future." Ren En's eyes shot out reverence, and he retired and went downstairs. The eyes of the four never left the three ships.
