Sishui City faces the sea on one side and has developed maritime trade. It is a prosperous city that cannot even compare with Jiangzhou's main city, Jiangcheng.
It's already 11 o'clock at night, but the place in Surabaya City is still lively. It can even be said that the nightlife in Surabaya City really begins at this time.
The rivers in Surabaya city extend in all directions, converging at the lake and flowing into the sea. Therefore, the lake gradually became a scene in Surabaya. Countless people visited it during the day, and it was equally lively at night.
If you look up casually, you will see boats of all sizes with lights on everywhere, giving you a beautiful view of lake boats at night.
The large and small passages on the shore are also full of lights at this moment, and the crowds coming and going are a different kind of poetry.
Ji Shunyu, who was dressed in casual clothes, and Qi Bao'er, who was dressed in men's clothes, were also walking slowly on the bank of the Huanghe River. There were a group of servants in front of them and behind them. They looked like rich or noble people, attracting many people.
side glance.
Next to them was a fat middle-aged man, nodding and bending from time to time, wiping the sweat from his head whether it was nervousness or exhaustion.
Qi Baoer seemed to be talking to the fat man. The fat man looked scared and anxious as if he was trying to defend something. But only Ji Shunyu beside them knew that these two girls were both movie kings and movie queens, so
The words they said had absolutely nothing to do with their expressions.
"Jichun Tower is very well guarded. Smokers who can pass through Jichun Tower are introduced by acquaintances. Someone managed to sneak in once, but they are very cautious about strangers and found nothing."
.”
The fat man is the shopkeeper of Deyuan in Surabaya City, his surname is Yang.
Deyuan used to be the property of Prince Min, but in fact Prince Min only held a small proportion of it. According to the shareholding system, Prince Min only held 30% of the shares, and Wu Haofeng only held 30% of the shares.
Ten, the other 60% are all in the hands of Jun Chenyuan, the man behind the scenes who was just the prince at that time, not the late emperor.
After the incident about Prince Min's daughter harming the Zhao family came out, Prince Min was the most affected. Jun Chenyuan no longer believed that he could manage Deyuan well, so he gradually bought it with 30% of the money.
.
From then on, Jun Chenyuan intervened in Deyuan. Deyuan was no longer the one-man shop of Prince Min, and all the shopkeepers across the country were unknowingly replaced by Jun Chenyuan's people.
Shopkeeper Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead again, with a panic on his face, but his voice was low and steady as he said: "Jichunlou will hold a flower boat show on this night of every month in Hanghu Lake. Those who can board the Jichunlou flower boat will
, they are all among the top dignitaries or wealthy households in the city."
You will have to pay fifty taels of silver to board the ship, and the rich and powerful will not be able to afford this money.
Shopkeeper Yang said that he had also boarded the flower boat in Jichun Tower during the monthly flower boat show, but he didn't find anything on the flower boat. It was just a common thing about looking for flowers and asking about willows, that is, the whole thing.
It's a bit high-end, the girls on the flower boats start from a hundred taels.
If you are an oiran and don't have five thousand taels a night, then you can't even think about getting off the boat.
Lord Ji, the prefect of Ji, whose face seemed to be engraved, and which Shopkeeper Yang had never seen expressive since the first meeting, suddenly interrupted: "Who is behind Ji Chunlou?"
Shopkeeper Yang smiled helplessly and shook his head: "I have been investigating Jichun Tower for almost two years, but I still haven't found out who is behind Jichun Tower."
The first floor of Jichun's house is an ordinary one. Guests come and go every day at night, and there are no rules prohibiting strangers from entering, but don't expect to find anything unusual in the building.
There is no jade lotus ointment in Jichun Building itself, it is clean and there is no need to worry about checking.
The popularity of Yufu Cream in Jiangzhou has long attracted the attention of shopkeeper Yang and others. They have found many places and secretly cooperated with the government to destroy many places, but the source has never been found. It doesn't take much to close a place.
The sky quietly opened in another place.
The weeds have been cut but not rooted out, and they grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Just like modern drug lords who deploy undercover agents, Shopkeeper Yang and the others not only destroy and treat the symptoms wherever they find them, but also secretly send people to sneak into the enemy's interior.
But as Shopkeeper Yang said just now, it is not easy to join them. You must first consume Yu Fu Ointment, otherwise the other party will not be able to trust you at all.
But once you take this Yufu ointment, you will become useless.
Even so, some of Butler Yang's men still managed to sneak into the enemy's interior, but they were unable to get in touch with the higher-ups. The only one who was the most successful was to follow his boss to the backyard of Jichun Building to pick up a distinguished guest and let Jichun
The building emerged from the water.
Shopkeeper Yang wiped his eyes that were about to shed tears by pretending to wipe away sweat, and said with a choked voice: "Less than two days after A Qing sent the news back, our people found his body in a mass grave.
As for the body, in order to prevent De Yuan from being exposed, we were unable to collect his body in person."
They could only wait until the people watching in the dark at the mass grave left, and then, just in case, ask the beggars in the city to steal Ah Qing's rotting body from the mass grave quietly in the middle of the night.
'Come out and bury it.
Qi Baoer's expression became serious, and Ji Shunyu also pursed her lips.
When the two of them heard this, they felt very heavy.
"Originally, I just suspected that Ji Chunlou was the middleman. After all, if the news about smoking Yufu ointment was spread, people would laugh at it. If those rich and powerful people are already addicted, they can only do it quietly for the sake of reputation.
Suck."
"But the tragic death of A Qing made me certain that Jichun Tower could not be just a middleman. Otherwise, A Qing just went to Jichun Tower to pick up someone, so how could he have immediately committed a murderous attack?"
It is not impossible to say that A Qing was discovered when he was delivering the news, but the timing of A Qing's accident was so coincidental that shopkeeper Yang had to be suspicious of Jichunlou.
After that, shopkeeper Yang sent people to keep a close eye on Jichun Tower.
Some things may seem normal if you don't pay too much attention to them, but if you pay close attention, you will find the abnormalities.
For example, there are always carriages coming and going in the backyard of Jichun Tower every night. Another example is that many young men have invited girls to stay overnight, but there is only one girl in the room.
However, Jichun's building is located on the first floor of Jia Qing's building, but behind the scenes it is heavily guarded. The thugs will patrol around every quarter of a minute. There are also masters lurking in the dark, and the maids and waitresses are also people with great kung fu skills.
Without alerting others, Shopkeeper Yang and the others could only find out these superficial things.
Ji Shunyu said in a low voice: "Same as Yong'an City."
Qi Baoer nodded silently. It was indeed the same. It was not difficult to check the things on the surface, but it was very difficult for you to check in details.
The person behind it has never shown his face, oh no, you don’t even know where the shadow of the person behind it is.
The medical clinic in Yong'an City and Buzhuang Ji Shunyu had already noticed it, and had already arranged for people to keep an eye on it. There were even people from Ji Shunyu in Buzhuang and the medical clinic.
The unlucky Qi Dong didn't know that the reason why he lived a few more days was because of the help of Buzhuang Neiji Shunyu's secret agent.
People are better off than him, and he has the trust of the shopkeeper of Buzhuang.
It's a pity that the shopkeeper of Buzhuang doesn't know much.
