Chapter three hundred and eighty second forced into a dead end
The sun did not rise later the next day because of the undercurrent in Yong'an City at night. In the Yang Mansion in Yong'an City, Xu Youyou no longer had any hope for the assassins. Since these assassins were not here,
If they return to the Yang Mansion within the stipulated time, their life and death will have nothing to do with him. Xu Youyou is only concerned about one issue now, and that is that there seems to be something wrong with the people in the grocery store in the east of the city recently.
Those people seemed to be deliberately avoiding him recently. This grocery store had always been the source of his money. If something went wrong in this place, he would be doomed. However, he had absolute confidence in the safety of this place.
Because he once invited the two commanders of the Wind and Thunder Department and the Hidden Thunder Department to visit this place, but they did not discover the mystery.
Although this grocery store sells some daily necessities on the surface, only the news dealers from various countries and tribes know that this place is actually the most comprehensive and accurate news trading place besides Jun Lai Pavilion. As long as you are patient
You can get almost all the information you want at this grocery store, and the most attractive thing for many buyers is that it will never take more than five days to get the information after placing an order at this grocery store. This makes people who buy information here
I can't help but guess what kind of background this grocery store has.
This grocery store was established by Xu Youyou, and the people in the grocery store were all carefully selected by him, so betrayal was impossible. What made him confused was that in the past few days, the people in this grocery store suddenly became suspicious of each other.
Xu Youyou's attitude became ambiguous. Could it be that something unexpected happened? If it is some information that is difficult to obtain, Xu Youyou will basically ask his personal guards to help them collect it. Recently, his personal guards have been in contact with people from the grocery store.
The issue of difficulty in collecting information was not mentioned at the time. Why would a place that sells information worry about not having sources of information?
Xu Youyou suddenly had an idea in his mind that made his back shiver. Xu Youyou didn't even have time to wash his face, so he called his personal guards and rushed to the grocery store. Xu Youyou looked very bad on the way, although
He was not sure what happened to the grocery store, but the source of uneasiness in his heart now was definitely that grocery store. From the first day he built this grocery store, he thought that one day he might be famous for this grocery store.
He was guilty, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly. However, the situation was still unclear. Even if the secret door of the grocery store was discovered, he would still have a way to escape.
"Lao Zhang, have the people at the grocery store said anything to you these days?" Xu Youyou closed his eyes as if he was resting his mind while sitting on the carriage. This look was a bit disturbing in the eyes of his bodyguard Lao Zhang.
It was as if I had discovered something.
Lao Zhang drove the carriage as if he hadn't seen it and said: "Recently, I haven't found any problems, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that when I went to see them recently, they kept stressing to me that nothing happened, so I didn't have to run away so often." Looking at Xu Youyou's expression, Lao Zhang probably guessed that Xu Youyou might have noticed something strange in the grocery store.
Lao Zhang had nothing to do with the grocery store, but when Xu Youyou doubted the grocery store, Lao Zhang was still sweating. Fortunately, he had nothing to do with the grocery store, otherwise he would have been unlucky today.
"Oh, that's it." There was no emotion or anger in Xu Youyou's eyes. The guard Lao Zhang stopped talking after seeing Xu Youyou's expression. Normally nothing good would happen to Xu Youyou showing such an expression.
Those in the grocery store are probably going to suffer.
The grocery store in the east of the city is still crowded with people today, no
I know how much news will spread from here to other places. Neither Xu Youyou nor the people in the grocery store know that a disaster is waiting for them. The disaster in the grocery store comes from Xu Youyou and the disaster in Xu Youyou comes from Lu Sheng.
Whether these two parties can successfully escape this disaster depends on how they prepare to deal with it.
When Xu Youyou came to the grocery store, there were not as many people here as there were at noon, but the business was much better than other stores at the same time. When the store clerk saw Xu Youyou, a smile appeared on his face.
He looked panicked, but soon returned to his usual state.
At this time, Xu Youyou was not so polite and asked them what happened. After seeing the person in charge, Xu Youyou asked straight to the point: "I'll give you half a stick of incense to explain to me what happened recently. Don't
Tell me it's business as usual, and if I hear something like that, I won't be here to ask you."
When the person in charge of the grocery store heard Xu Youyou asked this, he knew that Xu Youyou already knew the general situation. Then the person in charge said tremblingly: "Sir, please take a step to speak. In fact... it is a piece of news from cabinet No. 5.
It was lost without being sold. Recently, the brothers are secretly pursuing this matter. We have closely monitored the people who know about this matter. If they make any changes, we will take action to deal with them."
After hearing the report, Xu Youyou closed his eyes in despair. Xu Youyou calmed down for a while and thought to himself, although this matter may have been discovered, the good news is that these wastes have not yet caught anyone who knows the news.
Kill them all, otherwise things will get bigger.
"Old Zhang, go call a team of people. It doesn't take too many forty or fifty brothers." Xu Youyou didn't dare to waste time anymore. Now that it was just dawn, there was still hope for the matter. Xu Youyou picked up the tea cup at hand and gently
He took a sip lightly, and after calming down a little, he began to think about whether there was anything missing. This matter was not trivial, but once something was out of his control, his decades of hard work would be in vain.
Time passed minute by second, and fine beads of sweat oozed from Xu Youyou's forehead. People around him had never seen Xu Youyou so nervous. When there was a burst of neat footsteps outside, Xu Youyou suddenly opened his eyes.
Opening his eyes, he sat up suddenly and shouted, "It's broken!"
Xu Youyou swallowed. The footsteps coming in from outside were a little hard. It didn't sound like the queues in Dali Temple where people with wine bags and rice bags could walk out. It seemed that someone else had also discovered this place, and this person was probably Lu Sheng. He
The reason why he thought it was Lu Sheng was that the assassins he sent out did not use the power he deployed for safety reasons. His original idea was that if his people failed, they would be easily found out.
, as long as outsiders don't meet them, they won't investigate their identity in an emergency situation. Now it seems that he underestimated the thoughts of these assassins. He never thought of himself.
It will fall into the hands of these little people.
When Xu Youyou was about to walk out, Lu Sheng rushed in with a team of people. When Xu Youyou and Lu Sheng looked at each other, they were both stunned at the same time. Lu Sheng did not expect that Xu Youyou had already arrived at this time.
How dare you appear in this sensitive place? Xu Youyou didn't expect that Lu Sheng would come in person. The two of them were stunned for two breaths.
Just when Lu Sheng was about to speak, Xu Youyou suddenly walked up to Lu Sheng as if he had seen a savior and said, "General Lu, you came just in time. I have something I want to tell you. Can you lend me a moment?"
Lu Sheng almost laughed, this
Xu Youyou is about to die. What tricks are there to play? Then Lu Sheng nodded and waved his hand and said: "Someone, please surround this place for me! Not even a fly can fly out! And go back and scream more."
All intersections within one mile of Renfangyuan are blocked! Interrogate suspicious persons! Okay, Mr. Xu, let’s go aside and talk about anything.”
"Yes, yes, brothers, thank you for your hard work, surround this place!" When Xu Youyou was about to go to talk to Lu Sheng, his personal guard Lao Zhang also ran over with a group of people, just as Xu Youyou said before
As you think, there is a huge difference between the people in Dali Temple and the people under Lu Sheng.
Fortunately, Xu Youyou had a clever personal guard. When Lao Zhang saw the surrounding situation, he shouted to the people behind him: "Surround this grocery store as originally planned! Everyone listen to the command of General Lu and Lord Xu!"
When Xu Youyou heard what Lao Zhang said, he almost shed tears. He has trained Lao Zhang for so many years in vain! He is so clever! What a savior!
When the people in the grocery store saw this situation, they just showed panic expressions, but they did not betray Xu Youyou, because they knew that if they could not open the grocery store without Xu Youyou, Xu Youyou would definitely find a way to save it.
They went out. Because Xu Youyou can only survive in Yong'an City, a huge information trading place, with the help of them. Otherwise, even if you have a great position, you will not be able to survive in such a city that has existed for nearly a thousand years.
Lu Sheng smiled after seeing this scene and said, "Master Xu also discovered that there is something wrong with this place? It seems that I, Old Lu, am meddling in other people's business."
"Wherever, maintaining the stability and harmony of Yong'an City is the responsibility of every one of us who is an official in the government. How can we say 'meddling in other people's business'? We in Dali Temple are often unable to do what we do! With General Lu, who serves the country and the people,
With the good general here, our Gu'an country is still worried about not being able to develop?" Xu Youyou said with a laugh.
Lu Sheng nodded and said: "That's true. I wonder where Mr. Xu got this news? I got this news by chance last night. Could it be that the people in Dali Temple are really all three-headed and six-armed?"
?Able to handle other cases while handling His Majesty’s poisoning case?”
After hearing what Lu Sheng said, Xu Youyou frowned and said, "General Lu, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that I did not fully investigate your Majesty's case?"
"Oh, that's not the case. I just want to help Mr. Xu to share his worries. Since Mr. Xu is here, there will be no inconvenience. Please help Mr. Xu to issue a certificate for me to prove that we went in to investigate with the knowledge of Dali Temple.
Otherwise, I'm worried that someone will stab my old Lu in the back later." Lu Sheng doesn't like beating around the bush, so it's unprecedented that he can chat with Xu Youyou here. He came today to investigate the grocery store. Xu Youyou
Although his appearance was unexpected, it just happened to be helpful for him to investigate the case.
Now Xu Youyou is once again in a dilemma. If he issues a certificate, Lu Sheng will be able to find out something is wrong quickly. If he doesn't issue a certificate, it means that he has something up his sleeve. What Xu Youyou faces now seems to be a multiple-choice question.
In fact, there is only one way left for Xu Youyou.
"That's natural. General Lu's handling of the case was reasonable. I'll help you prove it." Xu Youyou walked into the grocery store with a smile, took out paper and pen on the counter and wrote down a paragraph of proof, proving that Lu Sheng's investigation was reasonable.
legitimate.
