Chapter 714: Intelligence

"You want us to monitor...... Chang Wei?"

Tang Shuxue really couldn't suppress the absurd and uninhibited feeling in her heart, and turned her back and laughed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Is it funny?" Xu Xu asked inexplicably.

"Isn't it funny? Of course...... Not really. I'm just happy, so we don't have to live in Yanyuan, and we finally don't have to face the boring disciples of the Jin Ge Society every day, you say, can I not be happy?" Tang Shuxue really deserves to be a master of acting.

"Now, I am the rich man Wang Tan in southern Zhejiang, you are my little wife, and you are my little wife's maid. With a huge sum of 1,000 taels of silver, we are ready to spend a happy and carefree year in Suzhou, haha, I really yearn for this kind of life! However, we must first settle down and say! I will take a look, Huazhi Lane Bamboo Garden, Chang Wei, this kid is really rich, this Huazhi Lane is a noble residential area in Suzhou, and the land price is very expensive! How about it, is there a suitable place for us to live next door, opposite the door, and behind it?"

When the two girls heard the identity arranged by Chang Wei, they seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but this dissatisfaction seemed to be still in the realm of control, because Tang Shuxue suddenly smiled mysteriously, and Xu Xu's attention was quickly attracted by the prosperity on Nanhao Street.

"Xianggong, shall we open a shop here?"

"Go and go, you won't do anything, and in the end you have to ask someone to clean up the mess for you!" Chang Wei sneered.

When I raised my eyes, I saw the graceful figure of Liu Qiniang's mother and daughter, the three of them were Chang Ping's good friends, and Chang Wei brought them out of Honghu in order to appease Chang Ping. The mother and daughter originally lived in Zhenjiang, but later Chang Ping went to Saiwai, and his life was a little boring, so he joined the undercurrent hall under Yan Ruyu, became a peripheral intelligence officer, and opened a food shop in Suzhou to live.

Tang Shuxue also saw Liu Qi Niang along Chang Wei's gaze, and said in surprise: "Yes, I can learn from Qi Niang!"

"Aren't you robbing Qi Niang's job?"

"There's not much of our family!" Tang Shuxue pouted.

Seeing that Tang Shuxue seemed to be very serious, Chang Wei was suddenly stunned in her heart, why did she suddenly want to learn cooking skills? In the Tang Gate, she is a baby lady who stretches out her hands and opens her mouth for food, and even her brother Tang Jinyi has prepared a large ticket of silver taels for her when she was wandering the rivers and lakes, how did this pampered girl change her temperament? Could it be ...... Is it because you love food?

Chang Wei's gaze couldn't help but soften, and Tang Shuxue's ears gradually revealed a hint of crimson: "Okay!"

Chang Wei agreed in a flash, and the benefits of opening a store for the current dual identity suddenly flashed in his mind, Yan Ruyu and Yu Piaoling could contact themselves under the pretext of eating, and they could also use the excuse that Chang Wei's young grandmothers needed the food in the store and went in and out of Huazhi Lane. And in the future, there will be a livelihood, so that Tang Shuxue and Xu Xu can pass some free time.

"Really?" Tang Shuxue was overjoyed: "What do you do? Dandan noodles, mandarin duck pot ......"

"Then it's better to simply put a sign on the door and read: This store provides the best Sichuan food, and Miss Tang of the Tangmen in Shuzhong is personally in charge of it......"

"Know-Dao-la!" Tang Shuxue suddenly understood, and waved her pink fist embarrassedly: "So, what are you doing?"

"Don't care what to do first, see if there are any shops on Nanhao Street to redeem, no, let Jin Gehui come forward to buy a store for me, and it will be regarded as the reward for my hard work for the past ten days, young master." ”

Speaking of their luck, the old bun shop next door to Liu Qiniang that sells fried buns is about to be redeemed, the reason is that Liu Qi Niang's pumpkin dumplings and duck blood soup are so delicious, and the guests are all full of Lao Sanwei, and they no longer have the appetite to patronize the old bun shop.

Chang Wei only used fifty taels of silver to redeem the shop, and the boss was very grateful.

"Okay, Xiao Xu, come back!" Chang Wei greeted Xu Xu, who was lingering at a stall selling his daughter's jewelry in the distance, her head was full of cheap jewelry, and when she heard her shout, she reluctantly came back from the stall and said with a smile: "Young master, I haven't used up the twenty taels of silver you gave me!"

This girl is clever, and when she saw people walking around, she began to enter the role, but ......

"What are these colorful things?" Chang Wei frowned and sighed: "Xiao Xu, the money given to you is for you to dress up, what are you buying these messy things for?"

"That's it...... Dress up. Xu Xu said timidly.

Chang Wei stopped talking, it seems that Yanzimen, like most other Jiangnan sects, is not living a good life. gave Tang Shuxue a look, and motioned for her to take Xu Xu to buy a few decent clothes and accessories, but she walked into Liu Qiniang's old sanwei next door.

Lao Sanwei was crowded: "What do you want to do, guest officer?"

Liu Qiniang behind the counter asked kindly, she didn't stop her hands and feet, and quickly poured a spoonful of hot chicken soup on the wontons.

"The same old way. ”

Liu Qiniang obviously heard Chang Wei's deliberately unchanged voice, she was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise in her eyes, and then said, "Or duck blood soup and pumpkin dumplings?"

"Do you remember me?"

"Why don't you remember? Mrs. also rewarded a bunch of money that day!" Liu Qiniang smiled slightly and returned to normal: "Son, please come back yard, duck blood soup and pumpkin dumplings will be sent to you." ”

After a while, I saw Liu Qiniang entering the backyard while wiping her hands with an apron, and there were only five or six guests in the backyard, and they all greeted Liu Qiniang warmly.

"I have long admired the name of Liu Qiniang and Liu's sister-in-law on Nanhao Street, and I am destined to meet today, and I am fortunate to have three lives! It just so happened that Sister-in-law Liu's old bun next door was redeemed, and she cashed it down to make a living, so she came to visit Sister-in-law Liu. ”

"Oh, that's the case! Prince Wang, please--"

As soon as Liu Qiniang let him into the room, she smiled softly: "Big official, who are you?"

Chang Wei told the story of the before and after, saying that in order to find out some things, he went undercover in the alliance, but he concealed the true purpose and Li Qishan's identity. When she heard that Chang Wei wanted to spy on herself, Liu Qiniang couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really unbelievable that big officials do things, but this is this battle for hegemony in the rivers and lakes, but you must be careful, although the big officials have excellent martial arts, but if you don't get it right, Jiangnan and Jiangbei will treat you as an enemy!"

secretly praised Liu Qi Niang's delicate thoughts, "I know, I won't go too far." Chang Wei smiled and diverted the topic: "Now the key is how to open this shop." ”

Liu Qiniang thought seriously for a while and said: "This is not difficult, Nanhao Street is mostly snacks from all over the world, if your newly opened store also wants to operate this kind of thing, it is not easy to attract customers, and it is not easy to let the eldest lady of the Tang family fiddle with chicken feathers, duck feathers, raw meat and seafood." If you don't open a tea house, there are no miles on this street, and it is clean and elegant. ”

"Okay, it's up to you!" Chang Wei's original purpose was not to make money, and he couldn't stand it when he really made his woman full of chicken feathers and duck blood. Liu Qiniang pointed out the precautions for making a tea house again, and finally he said with a smile: "You are right to find here, behind the old bag bun shop is Lord He Chong's house in Suzhou, he came alone, and the house should be very empty if he lives in such a big house!"

In this way, everything was done, with silver to open the way, it didn't take two days of hard work, Tianming Teahouse was whitewashed, the proprietress was naturally Tang Shuxue, the tent was naturally Xu Xu, and the master who made tea was hired plus two running hall guys and four girls who served the guests, and the teahouse opened in a similar way.

"Elder Hou, who is this person?" Chang Wei looked at a middle-aged man who came with Hou Fei in the private room of a restaurant not far from the Tianming Teahouse.

In fact, this man's face Chang Wei is a little familiar, and if you think about it carefully, you have met, Ou Zhengcheng, the former Songjiang pusher, was transferred to Suzhou last year, and he turned out to be an undercover agent of the Jin Ge Club.

No wonder Jin Ge will be able to sneak into Suzhou so many people, it turns out that it is not all the strategy of stealing beams and changing pillars, Ou Zhengcheng's cooperation in Suzhou is probably also an important reason!

Chang Wei just scolded secretly in his heart, but he remembered his identity as a king, and then looked at Ou Zhengcheng who was not so disgusting.

"This is Brother Ou Zhengcheng Ou, a magistrate in Suzhou, who is responsible for criminal names and public security, and is the first person under He Chong, and he will have one-line contact with you in the future. Hou Fei introduced.

The Alliance was willing to expose such a confidential spy to Chang Wei, and it was clear that he had gained their absolute trust.

Then Hou Fei flipped up the bill: "Hey, brother, I'm asking you to get close to Chang Wei, what are you doing in opening a teahouse on Nanhao Street?"

"The disciple inquired a little and knew that Chang Wei did not come to Suzhou often, and that Lao Sanwei was one of the places he often came to, and the Tianming Tea House was opened next door to Lao Sanwei, maybe Chang Wei was thirsty, and it was not necessary to go up to drink tea. ”

"Then, this tea costs ten taels of silver and one tael? Isn't this more expensive than gold? Also, this is the Jinluan Palace you rent, and it costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver a year!?"

"Who is Chang Wei? When he is a powerful man in the court, a rich son, a disciple can't greet him with a coarse tea of one tael or two silver; as for the rented room, its owner is Mr. Ou's immediate boss, He Chong of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and with the relationship between Chang Wei and He Chong, he just wants 1,500 taels and I have to give it to him!"

"Living in He Chong's house, aren't you afraid that he will see the flaws?"

"The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place......" Chang Wei had just said halfway through when Ou Zhengcheng took over the conversation: "Elder Hou, Brother Wang is reasonable, and there is such a teahouse, it is convenient for me to contact him, but He Chong is indeed shrewd, and Brother Wang should be more careful......

When I returned to He's house and saw He Chong, who I hadn't seen for a long time, I knew that Liu Qiniang had told him what happened to Chang Wei in the past ten days, and at this moment I had the heart to remind him: "Old He, Suzhou is not as impregnable as you and I imagined, the Alliance and the Sky Gang have a large number of people hiding here, and they are ......."

hesitated for a moment, wondering if to tell him Ou Zhengcheng's true identity now, I was really afraid that he would be angry for a while, and he would find Ou Zhengcheng to settle accounts, and he would expose his identity, but after thinking about it, there was such an undercover agent around him, He Chong was too unsafe, so he said: "Moreover, Ou Zhengcheng, the official of Suzhou, is ......."

"It's someone from the Jin Ge Society, right?" Contrary to Chang Wei's expectations, He Chong actually took over the conversation and said something that surprised him: "Brother, I'm not a vegetarian. ”

Chang Wei frowned and said, "You actually know!?Then why do you want him to stay in the official position?"

"I pinched Jin Gehui's neck, leaving him no room to breathe, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep. Besides, Jin Ge will be a person in the white road, although buying and selling illicit salt, smuggling and fighting, it is against the law of the country, but after all, people have also done a lot of good things, Jiangnan Road has been very quiet for more than ten years, and it cannot but be said that it has a lot to do with Jin Gehui. Stuff like private salt, let the salt class raise the division and the miscellaneous people to worry about it!"

He Chong's face showed a little cunning, and Chang Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, is there something you deliberately revealed to Ou Zhengcheng, so that Jin Ge will prepare in advance to avoid unnecessary conflicts?"

He Chong smiled: "It's good that you understand it in your heart, why do you say it so clearly." Zhenjiang is your brother's territory, no one dares to make up your mind, as long as you open your eyes and close your eyes, the Changkong Gang and Jiangbei Wulin will naturally have no worries, and now I am afraid that they are plotting Suzhou, and the most eye-catching thing in Suzhou is that Feng Laiyi. ”

"Lao He, are you a little blushing when you see Feng Laiyi entering the gold every day!"

"Hehe, I'm not like your brother who is a person who does big things, I am very moisturized in the Nanjing Criminal Department, and now I can say that I am a person with no ambitions, just enough money to spend. ”

After two sentences of gossip, Chang Wei said: "Lao He, since you can't put an end to these people in the rivers and lakes, then simply drive them all into Fenglaiyi." Tell the prefect of Suzhou and ask him to issue a proclamation in the name of the Suzhou Prefecture, saying that all residents of the city who stay in the rivers and lakes without authorization will be punished as having formed an association and assembling without permission, and their property will be confiscated and they will be exiled for three years. ”

"Anyone who stays in inns and taverns elsewhere will be inspected ten times or eight times a day by the inspection department, so that he will be overwhelmed and unable to do anything, either withdraw from Suzhou, or live in Fenglaiyi, which is only checked once a day. Let the brothers of the Inspection Division work hard these days, hehe, I don't believe it, what tricks can the Jin Ge Club play this time!"

He Chong said with a smile: "Ha~ Suzhou Mansion is definitely very willing, Feng Laiyi is opened by Mao Yilu's nephew." However, is it really good that these people from the rivers and lakes have entered Fenglaiyi? Su Chengcheng has a close relationship with the Murong family, and he will definitely lean towards the Jin Ge Society. ”

Chang Wei squinted and said, "I'm waiting for Su Qingcheng to show his fox tail." ”

When Tang Shuxue and Xu Xu came back, it was already the third watch. After a busy day, the second daughter was still full of energy, and the small Tianming teahouse attracted the second daughter.

Tang Shuxue is fresh and curious, and although Xu Xu is mediocre in martial arts, he has a businessman's mind, and the two of them are full of interest in doing things. It's also strange to say, don't look at Xu Xu's big characters and don't know a few, but the accounts can be calculated quickly and accurately, which made her master Tang Shuxue sigh vigorously, thinking about how difficult it was when I learned arithmetic, it seems that God is not partial, it is really a lost corner, and the mulberry is harvested.

"Since you like to settle accounts so much, you will help manage the accounts later. Actually, the high gang master gave me a copy of the knife book, which was originally meant to be passed on to you, and now it seems that there is no need for this. Chang Wei smiled.

In the next two days, the whole Suzhou City was really chickens and dogs, Yanyuan was copied, a secret stronghold of the Changkong Gang was uprooted, and even Suzhou bigwigs like Shen Zhou and Lu Shi had to dismiss a large number of nursing homes, and the inns and restaurants were even more miserable, and even those who walked the darts with a little Jianghu spirit did not dare to take it anymore.

Originally, the disciples of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance who had been coming from all over the country one after another and the Jiangbeimen people who were constantly infiltrating Suzhou had almost all received orders from Shangfeng before they entered the city, asking them to return to their original ways and stand by, and even the flies around the bamboo garden that were monitoring Chang Wei were cleaned up.

Jiangnan and Jiangbei's manpower in Suzhou was sharply reduced to less than 30 people, hiding in the two adjacent courtyards of Fenglaiyi.

Hou Fei and the entire Suzaku group all evacuated Suzhou, before leaving, he deliberately went to the Tianming Teahouse, saying that the alliance had received the news of Ou Zhengcheng, this time the inspection department was by no means just doing things for the sake of doing things, the alliance could not be the enemy of the government, most of the people had to evacuate, and the new people of the alliance were not trained enough, I am afraid that they would not be able to lay out in Suzhou in a short period of time, except for a group of people to strengthen the defense of Changzhou, the rest of the people were withdrawn to Quanzhou, Fujian for training. He also said that Chang Wei's tendency was very important to the development direction of the battle situation, so that 'Wang Yan' must step up his actions and get close to Chang Wei.

So, in the past few days, Feng Laiyi has an extra guest named Wang Yan.

Coming as a guest, I felt the cleverness of Feng Laiyi. Every bustard here is exquisite, every turtle slave is humble, and every girl is even more affectionate, especially the stunning beauties like Zhuang Qingyan and Ji Xiaoxian will not look down on you because you are just a poor boy who took out a year's savings in exchange for a night of entertainment, and when you come to Fenglaiyi, you feel as if you have fallen into the gentle township.

And the atmosphere created in Jinmantang also makes you feel that today you are the lucky boy who is lucky enough to be favored by the gambling god, you often win, and even you forget that you have lost more than you have won. And those who can still stay calm and have the intention to kill the dealer see that Ma Ming and Wen Xiaoman's gambling skills have also restrained their ambitions.

It is worthy of being the first Fenglaiyi in Suzhou!

"Huan'er, what kind of place is this?"

Chang Wei had just knocked out a pair of sisters and dressed up as an old bustard. As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Undercurrent Hall, Fang Huan'er's subordinates entered all over the Jiangnan Fireworks Field, and Mao Yilu's nephew's Suzhou Minglou Fenglaiyi was one of the key targets.

It's strange to say, Chang Wei can't remember Fang Huan'er's appearance, she has only seen her face, and when she turns her head and thinks about it, her face seems to be covered with a light veil, which makes people think about it really, this is probably because of the Frost Palace's 'Mind Confusion', this method is most suitable for undercover lurking.

And at this moment, Fang Huan'er just looked simple, and it seemed to be quite different from before.

However, Chang Wei still recognized her immediately, the biggest flaw in the disguise technique is the eyes, people with keen six senses, strong souls and familiar people will recognize her true face from the eyes, and if you can change the eyes, it seems that only the Tang family can do it.

By the night, Fang Huan'er led Chang Wei into the rockery, the path in the rockery was a good place for girls to play during the day, but at the moment there was no one, Fang Huan'er walked to a rockery, suddenly stopped, listened carefully for a while, and then leaned down and pulled out a stone, which was actually a copper button!

"Childe, you stand up and press hard. ”

Although Chang Wei was suspicious in his heart, he walked over according to his words, pressed the copper button hard, and pressed the button down an inch, the button suddenly loosened, only to hear a slight muffled sound from the ground, and a bluestone slab on the side of the road suddenly rose, revealing a dark and half-square hole.

"Huan'er, it's a shame that you can find this place. Chang Wei suddenly understood that the owner of such a large garden must be a wealthy family, and in order to avoid the war bandits, he must build some secret rooms to hide, but Fang Huan'er has no drawings in his hand, and it is an outlier to be able to find these secret rooms.

Drill down the steps into the hole, Fang Huan'er has an extra night pearl in his hand, Chang Wei casually closed the hole, only to find that there are two thick springs connected to the bluestone slab, when the hole is closed, the two springs are compressed, and then the bluestone slab is fixed with four pins at the bottom of the bluestone slab, and the copper button is to control the four pins, the button is pressed, the pin is opened, the spring will bounce the bluestone slab, and the design of the end is exquisite.

Twisting and turning along a one-person-wide passageway, covered in annoying cobwebs and a heavy musty smell. Fang Huan'er explained: "Feng Laiyi's people don't seem to know about this secret passage, I only discovered it by accident, you are the second person who knows this secret passage, and it is not good to clean up the environment!"

Chang Wei sighed to show his understanding, walked about forty steps, the passage actually branched, Fang Huan'er turned to the right, walked ten more steps, there was a slip of steps in front of her, she lightened her steps, and went up along the steps, although the entrance of the cave was also covered, but it was obviously moved away, and there was a narrow dark room on it.

This is the wall darkroom, although it is different from the one built by Chang Wei in Zhenjiang Changfu, but it is also similar. By the night pearl looked around, next to the wall put a short couch, on the couch placed a free pillow, diagonally above the wall nailed a group of hollow shelf, but there is nothing on it, there is a spring stool in front of the couch, although these pieces of furniture seem to be some years old, but after all, it is pineapple wood, once wiped, it is still very clean. The walls on the ground were also different from the underground passage, and they had been cleaned long ago.

“...... Qingyan, just let me stay for one night!" A man begged, the voice sounded a little familiar, after a little thought, Chang Wei couldn't help but be taken aback, this man was actually the supreme commander of the Jin Ge Society in Suzhou at this moment, Chu Tiankuo's cousin, and Chu Tonghe, the hall master of the Jin Ge Society!

Fang Huan'er's eyes made Chang Wei understand that she already knew the relationship between Chu Tonghe and Zhuang Qingyan.

"Master Chu, you better go back to the Qiushan Courtyard! The concubine should burn incense and bathe, just looking forward to coming early tomorrow. Zhuang Qingyan said softly, her voice was ecstatic, and Rao is Chang Wei's heart was as strong as iron, and she also waved slightly.

"That'...... I'm not leaving!" Chu Tonghe said a little bit.

"Although Qingyan doesn't know the identity of Chu Ye, you have lived in the Autumn Mountain Courtyard for more than 20 days, and Qingyan knows that you must be doing great things. Chu Ye, you poured water on Qingyan to summon silver, but you threw more than 30 brothers in Qiushan, and the concubine was afraid that Chu Ye would spoil your big thing! Actually, ...... Cheap concubines and cheap concubines are reluctant to ......"

Hearing this, Chang Wei couldn't help but praise in his heart, and wanted to refuse and welcome, this Zhuang Qingyan pinched a man's mind is really first-class. Sure enough, after a burst of tsk, I heard Chu Tonghe say: "Beauty, you really think about me! To tell you the truth, I am a member of the Jin Ge Society." ”

"Ah, I heard that the chief helmsman of the Jinge Society is surnamed Chu, could it be ......?"

"Chu Tiankuo is my eldest brother, and I am the third eldest of the Chu family. Speaking of Chu Tiankuo's name, Chu Tonghe's voice also became respectful, and he even seemed to be proud of being Chu Tiankuo's cousin: "I'm not afraid that you know, although I loved you a few days ago, I didn't dare to approach you." At that time, our Jin Ge Society was at war with the Jiangbei Changkong Gang, that is, the gang who lived in the Heavenly Realm Courtyard next door to us, and the war was very tense. ”

Zhuang Qingyan sighed lightly: "How can this be, third master, why are you living with them?"

"This is for your governor!" Chu Tonghe asked casually after skillfully beating a rake, "By the way, I don't seem to have seen your daughter-in-law recently." ”

"I heard that the eldest lady went to Shuzhong to deal with the matter of Emei. Zhuang Qingyan also seemed to be indifferent, but changed the topic back: "Then the third master, you must have won!"

Chang Wei felt a pang in his heart, at the time of the war in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Su Chengcheng would run back to Shuzhong?

I heard Qi Gong say: "Qingyan, you guessed wrong, this time we Jin Ge will lose, but everything is still in my eldest brother's control!"

Hearing Chu Tonghe's tone was very firm, it didn't seem like he was deliberately trying to boast in front of the beauty, Chang Wei couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Chu Tonghe continued: "At the moment, Suzhou City is in the limelight, alas, I told you that you don't understand, anyway, you can't fight with the Changkong Gang again for the time being." ”

This is completely consistent with the intelligence, listening to Zhuang Qingyan's greasy voice: "So your third master is idle......" Then I heard a plop, and it seemed that Qi Gong threw her on the bed.

Peeking at Fang Huan'er, her face was as calm as ever, and she didn't seem to care about what was about to happen below. However, Chu Tonghe next door seemed to have no strength to fight again, and the two just made love for a while, and he reluctantly left the Peony Pavilion under Zhuang Qingyan's gentle persuasion.
