Chapter 92 Zhu Guo's Secret Spy
The new Minister of Dali Temple ordered the city government to assist in handling this case, so Shen Tianhe was extremely concerned and wanted to inquire about everything carefully.
"Back to the city lord, today two businessmen dressed up and entered Zuihonglou, threatening to see Xu Qianqian. After going upstairs to talk, one of them went downstairs and gave the woman a pile of banknotes, and they simply bought Zuihonglou. ." The madam briefly explained the matter.
"So, these two people paid for it."
"It should be."
"Do you recognize these two people?"
"Back to the city lord, the civilian woman has never seen these two people."
After pondering for a moment, Shen Tianhe thought to himself: Since he has received the ransom from the madam, the case must have been settled with Dali Temple. As for who bought the Zuihonglou, it probably doesn't matter.
"This is your pardon. From now on, you are free and you don't have to report to the city government again."
Holding this piece of paper, the old bustard kept kowtowing and thanked her profusely: "Thank you very much, city lord. Thank you very much, city lord. That civilian woman has resigned."
After spending several days in jail, she seemed very scared.
After leaving the city government office, the miserable look of the old bustard disappeared immediately, replaced by a ferocious and angry face.
"Baifei Li, do you think you can hide it from me by dressing up in disguise?"
After getting the pardon, the madam believed that no one would look at her anymore.
After wandering around in Jinglin aimlessly, it was already getting late. After confirming that no one was following him, the Madam turned around and entered a tavern. The sign on the door clearly read: Lu Ji Tavern.
It was the same guy. After a day's work, he was busy cleaning the shop and preparing to close the shop.
"Man, I want to buy a drink."
"It's sold out today. The customer will come back tomorrow." The waiter replied without raising his eyes.
The old bustard smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said word by word: "I want to buy wine, a wine that is not available in this world."
Hearing this, the waiter looked stern, straightened up and said, "How much does a guest want?"
"Ten pounds, eighty taels, seven cents, three cents, the gods will think of mortals after drinking it." the old bustard replied.
"Thinking of ordinary people must be better than generals of heaven." The waiter said again.
"It's useless for the Jade Emperor to come in person." The old bustard replied.
The waiter put down the broom in his hand, closed the store door, and bowed to the madam: "Your Majesty, please come inside!"
The old bustard's name is Xia Anmei, and he is a secret agent of Zhu State lurking in Jiang State, and this Luji Tavern is the general stronghold of Zhu State's secret agents.
The owner of Lu Ji, the signature store, had already been taken over by Zhu Guo’s people as early as its establishment. Forty years ago, the store was controlled by Zhu Guo. The current owner, “Lu Dacheng”, is naturally not the real Lu Dacheng. .
Due to the long period of time, Lu Dacheng's brewing skills were indeed superb, and Zhu Guo's secret agents kept a low profile in Jiang State and did not make any big moves. Therefore, Lu Ji Tavern has been safe and sound, and has not aroused the suspicion of the Wei Kingdom royal family.
In the accounting room, Lu Dacheng was fiddling with the abacus and calculating the accounts seriously. When he saw the clerk bringing someone in, he said dissatisfiedly:
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm settling the accounts?"
Just as the clerk was about to reply, Xia Anmei stopped her and said two words: "Sir!"
Hearing this title, Lu Dacheng was startled. He immediately raised his head and saw that it was Xia Anmei. He quickly stood up and walked into the shop to take a look. He saw that the clerk had closed the shop and he felt relieved.
"Go to the outer hall and guard, don't let anyone in."
"Yes." The man followed the order.
"Don't worry, sir, no one is following you." Xia Anmei said.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that we can't meet unless it's an emergency?" Lu Dacheng complained.
"Sir, the owner of Zuihonglou has changed. I no longer have a place to stay. If I don't come here, should I just go back to Zhu country?" Xia Anmei replied.
Lu Dacheng was speechless, and then added: "We have made the Zuihonglou like this. If Mr.
"Sigh." Xia Anmei sighed: "I didn't want it either. Originally, every Qiuxing Feast would more or less make the powerful children of the Wei Kingdom resent each other. I didn't expect that this time it would cost lives."
"I heard that you were sent to the city jail?" Lu Dacheng seemed to have remembered something and immediately looked at Xia Anmei with vigilant eyes.
Seeing this, Xia Anmei replied dissatisfied: "What, sir, do you suspect that I have rebelled?"
Lu Dacheng was noncommittal and did not answer her directly, but his eyes made Xia Anmei feel more and more uncomfortable.
"If I rebelled, you would have been arrested by the Tsing Yi Division. How could you still sit here counting money?"
"Perhaps they are just fishing for a big fish and want to use you to catch Master Xuanwu?" Lu Dacheng continued to test.
"Sir, please forgive me, your suspicion is not founded at all."
"Why?"
"I have never seen the true face of Mr. Xuanwu. What's more, I have never had any contact with him since I set foot in Jinglin. How can I fish him out? Do you think the people of Weiguo will believe me if I rebel?
These words?”
"Since they don't believe me, what reason do they have for letting me go? They might as well torture me and ask me where my stronghold is. That's the most important thing for them."
After some words, Lu Dacheng dispelled most of his doubts. He could tell from the other party's expression that Xia Anmei was not lying. Then his face softened slightly and he said: "Sorry, in our line of work, we have to be more careful.
"
It seemed that she was still not happy with Lu Dacheng's attitude. Xia Anmei did not express her position on his apology. She walked to the table and poured a cup of tea and drank it.
"Do you know who bought Zuihonglou?" Lu Dacheng could only continue to ask.
"People from Prince Qi's Mansion."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Lu Dacheng asked.
"I'm sure, although they disguised themselves, that person has been to Zuihong Mansion many times and also had conflicts with me. Ordinary people may not recognize him, but I saw his disguise at a glance." Xia Anmei replied.
In fact, Li Feibai didn't intend to hide it from Xia Anmei, because it didn't matter whether she knew it was Prince Qi who bought Zuihong Mansion. Otherwise, with Li Feibai's ability, Xia Anmei wouldn't be able to see any flaws even if she was blind.
"Who is that person?" Lu Dacheng, out of the instinct of a spy, wanted to ask clearly about every detail.
"His name is Bai Feili, and he is King Qi's personal medical officer." Xia Anmei snorted disdainfully, and added: "He is just a village man who doesn't know the heights of the world, and only relies on the power of others."
"The gift was in vain, is it him?" Lu Dacheng was surprised.
"Why, you know him too?"
"Not long ago, people from the Qingyi Department came here. They seemed to be investigating him. They seemed to be related to Liu Renfang's case." Lu Dacheng replied.
"It seems like they didn't find anything, otherwise how could he be jumping around now?" Xia Anmei was very tired of Li Feibai.
