"Hey, isn't this the fifth master of Bai Xiaosheng? Where did you end up like this?"
Passing by a teahouse in the West Market, a few tea drinkers inside with keen eyes suddenly saw the appearance of Lao Wu and immediately shouted.
"I drank too much, I fell!" Lao Wu was not on the same page as these people, so he just looked up and didn't even give them a straight face.
"A fall? This was a very skillful fall, just like being beaten."
These tea guests looked at each other with a smile, and they all saw the look of gloating in each other's eyes.
"Get out of here!"
Lao Wu was not deaf, so how could he not hear what a few people said? He cursed angrily at them, raised his legs and was about to leave.
"Hey, Fifth Master, don't leave!"
A young man among the tea guests saw that Lao Wu was about to leave, so he quickly got up and called him.
When Lao Wu heard this, he stopped and glared at the man: "What are you doing? If you have something to say, say it quickly and if you have any farts, hurry up! I still need to get some medicine!"
The young man was not angry even after being scolded by Lao Wu. He left his seat, took a few steps to Lao Wu's side and said with a smile: "Master Wu, you haven't been out for the past two days. I wonder if something big happened outside."
?”
"What big thing? What big thing can happen at this time?"
When Lao Wu heard what the young man said, his heart skipped a beat but he still asked with a nonchalant look on his face.
The young man chuckled and said close to Lao Wu's ear: "Fifth Master, this matter is nothing to us, but to you, it may not be!"
Lao Wu's eyes narrowed and he asked: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting!" The young man said to Lao Wu with a playful smile: "You don't know, right? Since this morning, most of Chang'an has been spreading news about King Qin's expedition a while ago! What's in your hand?
I’m afraid only one person will know those exclusive news now!”
"What?!"
After hearing what the young man said, Lao Wu's expression suddenly changed: "Aren't officials forbidden to spread these things?!"
"Not allowed to pass on? There are so many things that the imperial court won't allow you to do!"
The young man smiled and patted Lao Wu on the shoulder, but there was a hint of contempt in his eyes:
"Fifth Master, how can you not know about this? The more people don't let people know about it, the more people will want to know! This matter has been suppressed for more than a month now, and you have also used it to make money for a month. Now
It’s normal to not be able to hold it in!
Tsk, tsk, tsk, but I really didn’t expect that when King Qin went out this time, there would be so many weird things, no wonder you could make so much money with it... Hey, hey, Fifth Master, where are you going?"
The young man was pointing at the sky and the earth, and he was talking proudly. When he turned his head, he suddenly realized that Lao Wu was missing!
He hurriedly looked aside and saw that on the way to Lao Wu, Lao Wu was already running back in a hurry!
"Bah! I didn't ask for your money. I was so scared that I could run so fast even though I was lame on one leg! In my opinion, sooner or later, someone will break your other leg!"
Spitting on the ground disdainfully, the young man smoothed his hanging hair, put his hands behind his back, and walked back into the teahouse. Soon, the conversation among them started again, but this time it was more cheerful than before.
many!
In a semi-abandoned courtyard in the west of Chang'an City, Lao Wu, who had just left, was sweating profusely and digging things out of a wall hole.
As for the informant business, although it seems simple, if you want to do it well, that person will definitely not be able to do it!
After all, the collection, classification, and judgment of information alone require the support of many people!
In Chang'an, Lao Wu has many sources of information and is highly accurate, so he is very famous on this business road.
It's just that behind this seemingly beautiful scenery, only Lao Wu himself knows: he is just a front person introduced by others. To put it harshly, he is just a puppet to make money for others.
"Damn it! After all, good things come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly! I've only had two days of rest, so how could such a big thing happen? What should I do now? If the government finds out, won't I be doomed?!"
Pulling out the latest note from the hole in the wall, and eagerly reading what was written on it, Lao Wu sat down on the ground shivering, and the note in his hand slipped to the side.
The crow on the wall tilted its head and looked at the familiar person below, as if wondering why this person took so long to leave.
However, it is just a flat-haired beast and has no idea how complicated the human world is.
If it can read, then it will be found that everything written on the note is what is circulating in Chang'an today.
What kind of divine thunder, divine turtle, divine bird, psychosis...
Ahem, anyway, everything that can be thought of and things that can't be thought of have been spread at this time!
Especially at Hulao Pass, the charge in which Li Shimin risked his life was rumored to have the help of gods and men, who shed light on them and made them invulnerable to weapons, fire and water!
Otherwise, how could it be possible to kill Dou Jiande's army of more than 100,000 and scatter it to pieces with just over a hundred people?
"Hey, someone is stirring up the troubled waters!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Lao Wu, who woke up, gave a wry smile, grabbed the note, rubbed it randomly a few times and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Uh-huh... I don't know who is causing trouble in this matter. Anyway, I don't dare to play, and I can't afford it! Forget it, I'll leave today and you can go and play by yourself!"
Swallowing the note into his stomach while still drooling, Lao Wu patted the dirt on his butt, stood up, and carefully walked out of the broken yard.
When he returned home in a jumbled manner, without saying a word, he ordered his wife to pack her things.
During this period, a neighbor came to inquire, but he excused himself by saying that he was away visiting relatives.
He didn't know that in Chang'an, there were several people who were just as anxious to leave the city as he was...
As soon as A and the others followed Xiao Han's instructions and spread all kinds of news, they immediately changed their minds and went to the next place to continue their propaganda.
Rumors spread in private.
The storm has already begun to brew.
When the slow Sima of Wucheng felt that something was wrong, all kinds of news had already sprung up like mushrooms after rain, appearing all over Chang'an uncontrollably.
The Sima of the Five Cities were in despair, but the Qianniu Guards were angry!
The emperor's original order to them was to block the news and not allow people to talk about it!
They were doing very well before, but who would have expected that everything would change overnight?
"Find it for me! Dig down to the ground and find out the source of the rumor!"
Tang Shuai, the commander of the Qianniu Guards, roared in the middle of the lobby with red eyes. Along with the roar, countless soldiers scurried around the teahouses and wine shops in the city like locusts crossing the border.
Once anyone is heard talking about these things, he will be beaten first without saying a word, and then thrown into prison for careful interrogation.
At this rate, before nightfall, Chang'an Prison was already overcrowded.
Those informants who had eaten this bowl of rice, including the few who ridiculed Lao Wu, did not escape now, and they all lay pitifully in the muddy water and struggled.
