"Go up and have a look?"
Liu Yiyuan suggested.
It's easy to become addicted to peeking into people's privacy.
Ever since he became the commander of this reconnaissance brigade and learned all kinds of incredible reconnaissance methods from Zuo Mengeng, Liu Yiyuan has been deeply involved in it.
Zuo Mengeng decisively refused.
"No, so as not to alert the enemy."
If this was a movie or TV series, the actors would have definitely taken the opportunity to investigate.
Going deep into a tiger's den, narrowly escaping death, and using all kinds of cool technologies to gather information is very powerful.
However, reality is not a movie or TV drama.
The top priority is to be safe while protecting yourself and not being noticed by the target.
No one knows how many Wenxiang Cult eyes are in the Yinbi Pavilion.
When they come here for the first time, they are not familiar with the place. If they rush in rashly, the probability of not being discovered is lower than winning the lottery.
"Then what should we do? Just wait?"
Not being able to show off his talents made Liu Yiyuan quite depressed.
Zuo Mengeng remained calm and said: "Pay the bill and leave."
Liu Yiyuan was shocked.
"Leave now? You haven't heard anything yet?"
Zuo Mengeng looked at him funny.
"If we wait until the woman leaves before leaving, do you think...will people doubt our motives?"
Liu Yiyuan suddenly realized it and learned another trick.
…………………………
In the dark corner of Yinbi Pavilion, the madam stood quietly by the window, watching the situation in the hall and cracking melon seeds.
A turtle man came quietly and whispered: "Those two strangers are gone."
The madam was stunned.
"gone?"
Mr. Turtle reported truthfully.
"The scholar threw away five taels of silver and gave me another two taels of silver as a reward, but he scolded me as he walked, saying that the food here is terrible."
The madam thought quietly for a moment and then said: "He is a true traveler, and he knows the market very well. Forget it, go do your own thing."
After leaving Yinbi Pavilion, Zuo Mengeng and Liu Yiyuan were still wandering around.
However, Zuo Mengeng's hidden gesture was seen by the vegetable vendor across the street.
In the evening, the person responsible for monitoring Yinbi Pavilion came back and reported the situation.
"After the woman went in, she stayed for more than an hour. When she came out, she went back to the governor's Yamen."
Zuo Mengeng immediately made a judgment.
"She's here to meet someone."
Liu Yiyuan also agreed with this judgment.
"The question is who did she meet, and what is Xu Yaqing going to do? How about we send someone else to sneak in and live there too?"
Zuo Mengeng was so funny.
Next, I not only assigned tasks, but also taught the scout leader.
"Dengzhou is a small town, and the flow of people is limited. Naturally, there are even fewer people who can enter and exit Yinbi Pavilion. Why do we have to go in to find things when monitoring a place like this? We just need to keep an eye on the entrances and exits and see what happens next.
As long as people come in and out, it will be fine.”
Sure enough, during the surveillance in the next few days, everyone found that most of the people entering and leaving Yinbi Pavilion were local officials, gentry and wealthy people.
As the largest brothel in Dengzhou, there were only a dozen or so customers coming in and out for three consecutive days.
With the addition of handymen and the like, personnel monitoring is very easy.
During these three days, the woman came in and out of Yinbi Pavilion every day. Each time she stayed for more than an hour and then left.
Three days later, a new situation emerged.
"Qianzuo, someone came out of Yinbi Pavilion. Two strangers I have never seen before."
Zuo Mengeng said immediately: "This is because the people we contacted have finished talking and are ready to leave. Let's go and find an opportunity to capture these two people."
Everyone took action immediately and slowly tightened the encirclement from different directions.
At the same time, the maid also returned to the governor's Yamen and met Xu Yaqing.
"It's settled. They will take Jifu and we will take Shandong. We will not interfere with each other and take care of each other."
Hearing this, Xu Yaqing showed a calculating smile.
"Haha, those dog officials in the court mistakenly thought that this was all we needed to make trouble in Jifu and Linqing. Little did they know, the fun is yet to come."
After saying that, she regained her coolness and ordered: "Tell brothers everywhere to speed up preparations. No later than this year, we will be able to overturn this day and welcome the birth of the lamp-burning Buddha."
The maid was also excited by the news and hurried away.
…………………………
"These two people came straight here after coming out of Yinbi Pavilion."
This is the pier outside Dengzhou Water City.
To leave Dengzhou, there are land and water routes to choose from.
If you take the land route, you can go to various places in the Ming Dynasty.
But if you take the water route...
Zuo Mengeng was puzzled and didn't know where the two of them were going.
But it doesn't matter, their goal this time is to capture these two people and get specific information.
If this secret is not solved, the hidden danger will be greater than if Xu Yaqing is not caught.
The reconnaissance brigade moved quickly, and an encirclement network was quickly formed, slowly approaching the two people from all directions.
The two people who were walking suddenly came together and said something, and they suddenly started running wildly, obviously realizing that something was wrong.
When Zuo Mengeng, who was hanging at the back, saw it, he stopped hiding it and shouted: "Do it."
In the direction where the two men were running, five soldiers were surrounding them. After hearing the order, they immediately pounced on them.
There was a flash of Pi Lian's sword without any warning, followed by two screams, and two soldiers died tragically under the sword in an instant.
Those two people actually had weapons.
The others were shocked, and they also drew their weapons and started fighting.
The road leading to the pier is lined with fish markets, which is very lively.
They suddenly drew their swords and hacked people to death. The innocent passers-by immediately became confused and ran away in all directions, howling.
Zuo Mengeng finally squeezed out of the chaotic crowd and saw a scene with eyes wide open.
Four of the five soldiers who came up in the first wave fell down at this time, and one was still struggling to hold on.
These are carefully trained scouts and are the most elite soldiers in the rear camp. Normally, against other brigades, two can handle ten.
However, at this time, five were fighting two, resulting in heavy casualties.
However, these five soldiers were not without gains. One of the two was stabbed in the waist and abdomen, and each in his left arm was stabbed with blood, and his organs were turned out.
When Zuo Mengeng rushed forward, the last soldier finally failed to hold on. He was stabbed twice and his neck was cut off. He must not be able to save his life.
In unbearable grief, Zuo Mengeng also became ruthless. With the roar of the evil wolf, he drew his knife and struck at the injured person.
The man turned out to be very fierce. He suddenly overturned his bamboo hat and cloak, and then slashed at Zuo Mengeng with his sword.
To be continued...
