After leaving Zuichun Tower, Murong Fu's face remained calm, but his heart was quite uneasy. Huang Xin's sudden appearance disrupted his previous plan. The life experience of Huang Xin was extremely mysterious.
Not only did he possess the pure internal power of the Nine Yin Manual, but in the previous fight, he also found that there seemed to be a faint chill coming from Huang Xin's body. Although it was very vague, Murong Fu felt uneasy, so he
He would stop at the right time and not argue with the old woman.
Of course, since she knew Huang Rong, she may have obtained the Nine Yin Scriptures from Huang Rong, but judging from her speech and behavior, she was quite majestic, and the person she rescued was a concubine who had been captured in the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that this woman
There are countless connections with Song Ting.
"Who could she be?" Murong Fu murmured, secretly suppressing the doubts in his heart, and turned to Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, please go back to the inn first. We have something to do here. Let's set out early tomorrow morning."
The two had to separate soon after they reunited. Xiao Zhao felt quite reluctant to part with him, but she knew that Murong Fu had important things to do, so naturally she didn't want to say anything more and left immediately.
"Huanyi Bureau?" After Xiao Zhao left, Murong Fu turned around and walked in one direction.
Not long after, a faint aroma of wine came to him, and Murong Fu came to a wine shop on East Cross Street. There were three simple characters "Thyme" hanging on the door.
Speaking of which, the reason why Tianxialou has developed into a large chamber of commerce covering the Jin, Song, and Qing Dynasties is that it started by selling wine. Although the money earned from selling wine is now far less than that of other businesses, it has been preserved.
,
Therefore, in big cities in various countries, there are wine shops under the name of Tianxialou, but the names are different.
Murong Fu walked into the shop, looked around, and couldn't help but nod secretly. He saw a long table standing in the middle of the lobby. There were several wine jars of different sizes on the table, and there were related introductions next to each wine.
And the price, but around the lobby, there are semi-enclosed single rooms, which are small and quiet, and the overall style is simple and elegant.
There were many drinkers in the hall, most of whom had drunk until they fell asleep.
"Master, please come in!" At this time, a young man came forward to greet him, "I wonder if Master will sit in the private room or in the lobby?"
"No need!" Murong Fu waved his hand, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper!"
"Please come this way!" The boy didn't bother and directly led Murong Fu to the counter.
"Shopkeeper, this young man is looking for you!" the boy called to a middle-aged scholar behind the counter.
Murong Fu raised his eyes and couldn't help being slightly startled. He saw this man dressed in Confucian robes, his hair was slightly messy, but his face was quite delicate and neat, with a hint of unruly elegance.
"He is an interesting person." Murong Fu commented secretly in his heart.
The shopkeeper put down the book in his hand, took a look at Murong Fu, and immediately said with a smile, "Young Master is so charming. He should be wandering in the mountains of books and flowers, so why would you come looking for a bad old man like me? What's more, what's in this cup is not suitable for the Young Master."
Murong Fu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. No wonder the business in the Chinese restaurant is average. How can anyone do business like him? Fortunately, today's Tianxialou doesn't care about such a small amount of money.
Murong Fu smiled slightly and raised the "Qiankun Order" in his hand.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar immediately looked solemn, and respectfully took the token and looked at it carefully, then handed it back to Murong Fu and said respectfully: "It turns out that the venerable one is here, and my subordinate Wang Youwei is blind and talking nonsense.
I bumped into His Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Hey, what if I don't forgive you?" Murong Fu looked at him with a half-smile and said.
Wang Youwei was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "If your venerable master doesn't forgive me, then I will have no choice but to take the blame and punish myself with three cups of wine!"
"Haha, you have a good idea!" Murong Fu laughed loudly, "If you neglect me, I will deduct your wages."
Wang Youwei immediately became anxious and said, "Sir, you can't do that. I accept beatings and scoldings, but this salary is wine money and the lifeblood of a young man. It cannot be deducted."
"Haha, okay, I happen to have something to ask you. If you answer well, it will be easy to talk to you. If you answer poorly, your life will be gone!" Murong Fu changed the topic and said straight to the point.
Purpose of this trip.
"Yes! I obey!" Wang Youwei immediately changed his expression to a serious one, "Your Majesty, please come this way!"
After a while, Wang Youwei led Murong Fu to a quiet secret room in the backyard.
Wang Youwei immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I belong to the outer palace of the Crystal Palace, number 4382 Wang Youwei, please see Your Majesty!"
"Get up," Murong Fu stretched out his hand to help Wang Youwei, and an invisible force immediately helped Wang Youwei up.
"I don't know, Sir..."
Murong Fu interrupted, "Just call me Young Master!"
"Young Master..." Wang Youwei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something. His eyes suddenly lit up, as if the Murong Fu in front of him was some kind of peerless beauty.
Murong Fu frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything better than Long Yang?"
"No, no, no!" Wang Youwei waved his hands, "I came to see you in person because I didn't expect that the young master would be so humble. I was a little excited for a while!"
"You..." Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise flashed across his face, "Do you know my identity?"
Wang Youwei hesitated for a moment and then said, "If my subordinates guessed correctly, the venerable Master is the head of the Murong family, Mr. Murong, who is known as 'Nan Murong' in the world."
"How do you know?" Murong Fu asked with great interest. You must know that although the Crystal Palace was founded by the Murong family, this secret is only known to the members of the inner palace. Wang Youwei is just a non-staff member. How could he?
He knew the secret and revealed his identity.
Wang Youwei immediately looked hesitant. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I dare not say anything."
"If there's anything you dare not say, you'll know it once you know it. I won't blame you if you tell me!" Murong Fu asked.
"Yes!" Wang Youwei responded and said, "During a mission, my subordinate came into contact with a person in the inner palace and learned some clues. Moreover, looking at the message transmission mode of the entire Crystal Palace and the outer palace,
There are also some loopholes, which can be found as long as someone is careful and investigates carefully."
After finishing speaking, Wang Youwei looked at Murong Fu with an anxious expression. Although Murong Fu had promised not to blame him, spying on the secrets of the palace was a serious crime. The Crystal Palace had always had strict rules, so fear was unavoidable.
Murong Fu nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry, I said I won't blame you for this matter, so I won't regret it. As for the message transmission loophole, I will talk about it later. Now I have a few questions to ask first."
you."
Wang Youwei was immediately relieved, but immediately felt a little bit disappointed. He specifically pointed out that there was a problem with the Crystal Palace's message delivery. Naturally, he had some small thoughts, but looking at Murong Fu's appearance now, he didn't seem to take it to heart.
superior.
However, in Murong Fu's face, he naturally did not dare to show it, and respectfully replied, "Sir, may I ask?"
"How is the Crystal Palace's infiltration in Kaifeng City now?" Murong Fu asked.
"Back to the young master," Wang Youwei cupped his hand, "The Crystal Palace is expected to set up a total of twenty-three strongholds in Kaifeng City, of which fifteen are located in the imperial city and eight are located in ordinary urban areas. Now the eight ordinary strongholds have already been established.
Jianquan, just..."
Wang Youwei paused for a moment, glanced at Murong Fu's face, and continued, "It's just that there are many rules in the imperial city, and it is very exclusive of Han people. So far, only three places have been built, and the others are still being cleared..."
"Three places?" Murong Fu murmured. Although he had expected it, he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
In fact, the so-called imperial city is just a general term. It not only refers to the palace, but also a city area outside the palace. All the royal nobles of the Jin Kingdom live there. It can be said that they hold the core military secrets of the entire Jin Kingdom, so the Crystal Palace
Only then will the focus be placed on the imperial city.
After pondering for a long time, Murong Fu said, "What about in the palace? Is there any hidden line?"
Wang Youwei nodded, "Yes, but they are just some low-status eunuchs. They can be useful if they want to find out the name and location of a place, but it is impossible for them to accomplish anything big."
Murong Fu was slightly startled, "Then how did you know Guo Jing's whereabouts last time?"
"I'll tell you the truth, sir," Wang Youwei smiled bitterly, "Actually, that's just the guess of my subordinates. I learned from a young eunuch that half a month ago, a large group of people tied a person into a rice dumpling.
He was sent to Chui Gong Hall and never came out again. This is because the young eunuch accidentally bumped into it, otherwise there is really nothing my subordinates can do."
"So that's it!" Murong Fu was still a little confused before, why the Thyme Shopkeeper only gave Chui Gong Hall three words, but he didn't even explain the location of Chui Gong Hall clearly.
"Do you know about the Huanyi Bureau?" Murong Fu asked again.
"Huanyi Bureau?" Wang Youwei looked stunned, "Master wants to go to Huanyi Bureau?"
"Not bad!" Murong Fu nodded.
"I know about the Huanyi Bureau, but..." Wang Youwei suddenly looked hesitant.
"Say what you have to say, don't hesitate!" Murong Fu suddenly looked a little impatient.
"Yes!" Wang Youwei said immediately, "If you want to have fun, young master, it is best not to go to Huanyi Bureau. In name, Huanyi Bureau is just a brothel exclusively for royal nobles, but in fact it is not. There are people behind it.
A person controlled by a big force is mainly responsible for spying on confidential information about various royal nobles, including hundreds of officials."
Murong Fu glared at him angrily, "Am I the kind of person who knows how to have fun?"
"My subordinate made a mistake, my subordinate made a mistake!" Wang Youwei hurriedly admitted his mistake, but the ambiguity in his eyes could not be erased.
Murong Fu didn't bother to explain to him and asked, "Besides these, what else do you know? The most important thing is, are there any masters there?"
"I don't know much about other subordinates. As for the masters, it is said that there are many masters. I don't know exactly who they are." Wang Youwei replied.
