"No need, Mr. Luo came to report the news without fear of his own safety. We have no reason to embarrass you.
But if I find out that Mr. Luo is plotting against us, I will have to say hello to Mr. Luo the next time we meet."
"It's settled, farewell."
"I won't send it off." Gu Tiexin waved his hand.
Li Luo turned around and left. Jiang Wan was shocked and said, "Brother, are you just going to let him go like this?"
Gu Tiexin shook his head slightly and signaled Jiang Wan not to say more. After Li Luo left, the crazy beggar asked in a deep voice: "What do you think, brother?"
"Half truth, half lie."
"Then why don't we capture him and keep a hostage in hand? They don't dare to do anything to Third Brother and the others." Jiang Wan said hurriedly.
"He is confident. Maybe the capture of Third Brother and the others really had nothing to do with him.
Or maybe he captured the third brother and the others and forced us to take action. No matter which case it is, the third brother and the others will not be in danger for their lives right now.
If we capture him, this clue will be broken. Keep an eye on him to see what mystery he is up to."
"I'll go." The mad beggar said in a deep voice.
Gu Tiexin nodded and said: "Okay, but what he said about the sea arrest of official documents must be true. There are people in Zhuo City who want the situation to be as chaotic as possible. They want to use our seven bandits at this moment, so we might as well use them."
It's just that the whereabouts of Lao San and the other three are unknown, so we're trying to avoid it. Even if we know it's a trap, we can only take one step at a time, but it's a pity that Seventh Sister is not here."
Several of the crazy beggars looked worried, but Jiang Wan was the most worried, fearing that something might happen to the little fairy.
"Crazy brother, we will leave here after you leave. See you at the same place.
You should be more careful. Since Hongqiao has Snake Hall's spies, our other hiding places are probably not safe either.
Don’t go to Banfen Building for the time being, so as not to cause trouble to Master Shi.”
The mad beggar responded and quietly followed Li Luo under the cover of night.
Gu Tiexin frowned. If Li Luo wasn't Luo Shuchang, who could he be and what role did he play in this chaos.
Three days later, there was a teahouse in the south of the city.
Gu Tiexin and the other two dressed up in disguise and asked for a pot of tea. They were waiting for someone here.
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in, glanced at the hall, walked behind Gu Tiexin and the others and sat down.
The waiter came over and shouted, and the middle-aged man ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine, and started drinking by himself.
"Second brother, you're here." Jiang Wan said in a low voice.
"Yeah." It was the crazy beggar who came, and his appearance was completely different from the previous few days.
"How about it?"
"He has been in and out of the Tomb Zaifu these past few days. There is nothing unusual about him. I asked around and found out that he is not Luo Shuchang, but a figure in the Tsukazaifu.
He usually lives in seclusion and has an ominous origin, but his status in Tsukazaifu seems to be high."
"So it has nothing to do with him?"
"It looks like that, but he went to meet someone last night."
"who?"
"Liu Hui."
"Liu Hui? Who is this?"
"The right-hand man of Privy Councilor Yang Wanli."
"What!?" Jiang Wan was startled and asked hurriedly, "Second brother, do you mean he is from the Privy Council?"
"It's hard to say. With his intelligence, I'm afraid he can guess that we will follow him. Maybe he is setting up a conspiracy to draw our attention to the Privy Council."
"Privy Council!"
Jiang Wan took a breath of cold air, feeling uneasy in her heart. The Privy Council, a giant, was not a yamen where ordinary people dared to brush their beards.
He said in a seductive voice, "Brother, things are getting bigger and bigger now."
"Why, fifth brother, are you afraid?"
"What a joke, how could I be afraid? If I were afraid, I wouldn't come." Jiang Wan said with excitement.
"Keep your voice down."
Jiang Wan muttered, looked around, and felt relieved when no one cared.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"For such a big matter as the Shangzheng Yamen, Zhuocheng City will not be as quiet as it is now. The people guarding and guarding the capital are jumping up and down, but it is just superficial.
It’s not surprising that the Privy Council is involved, but I can’t figure out why there is no movement from the Inspection Department. King Daganding has been working hard in the past few years, and it is impossible to ignore Shangzheng Yamen.”
"Are you saying that the Inspection Department is the one reaping the benefits behind the scenes?"
"It's possible that the Inspection Department has so many experts that they can capture Third Brother and the others without anyone noticing."
"Maybe not."
"Oh, crazy brother, what did you hear?"
"These past few days, the Inspection Department is dealing with the case of Dongfu's shortage of food and salary. It is very busy. I heard that this time it is very involved, and several ministers of the border are also involved.
Someone said that the Inspection Department transferred Shangzheng Yamen's account books a few months ago, but in the end they were returned to Shangzheng Yamen intact.
Emperor Wanlong gave full power to the Dali Division to investigate and handle the case of the fire in the Treasury, but I have never heard that the Inspection Division was involved in it."
Gu Tiexin frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ignore this for now, the top priority is to find the person who leaked the news.
Not many people know about our entry into Shang Zheng Yamen's treasury, but they have already gained some insights in the past few days.
In addition, there is news about the person who suppressed the official document of Sihai arrest in Dali. After we meet up, we have an appointment."
"Where?" The mad beggar's expression perked up, and after running around for days, a clue finally surfaced.
"Half a floor."
"Shi Louzhu?"
"Well, Master Shi is also running around these days. He sent a message yesterday asking us to get together at the half-floor building in the evening. There will be news then."
The four of them said no more, drank a few cups of tea and left the teahouse quietly.
In the time of Xu, there were half buildings in the east part of the city.
Gu Tiexin and his party avoided the main entrance and sneaked into the half-story building from the backyard. The courtyard was not small, and it was difficult to see the surroundings under the cover of night. There were only a few lights and no one guarding them, making it extremely quiet.
Gu Tiexin walked to an attic, jumped up to the second floor, and knocked on the window curtain three times, each with different lengths.
As soon as the lights in the room turned on, a magnetic voice came out: "Nephew Gu Xian is here, come in."
Gu Tiexin opened the wooden window and faced a wooden table. A dim oil lamp was placed in the middle of the table. The place where the light could shine was three feet of the wooden table.
Gu Tiexin said in a deep voice: "Master Shi, it is really presumptuous to visit me late at night. Please forgive me, Master Shi."
A figure next to the wooden table leaned forward and moved his body just enough to be covered by the lights.
It turned out that this person was also sitting on the chair next to the table. His body was just pulled back, and the light was not reflected at all. It was as if there was a wall that could not pass through the whole body. Such internal strength was simply unheard of.
.
Gu Tiexin's eyes lit up and he laughed softly: "It's really amazing that Master Shi's mind-with-eyes-without-beads method has been cultivated to such a level." (To be continued.)
