The deeper he went, the more Ming Chongyan became more engrossed.
It's already the fifth watch, and when it changes to the morning of the morning, all the ministers will start from home and prepare to enter the palace for the early morning.
The sky is no longer pitch black, it is starting to get bright, and it is undoubtedly risky to sneak in at this time.
In fact, even if it is a dark and windy night, the defense of the Dou Chamber of Commerce headquarters is extremely tight.
The Meihua Internal Guards have been eyeing the Dou Chamber of Commerce for more than a day or two. Naturally, they know that hundreds of people are patrolling inside this chamber of commerce every day.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Chang'an City, except for the Daming Palace where the saint is located, the rest of the major noble residences may not have the guarding force here.
Groups of guards without armor but armed with weapons came and went, making it extremely difficult to sneak in. Fighting all the way in was about the same.
There is indeed such a way to infiltrate~
Ming Chongyan restrained his thoughts and jumped left and right like a rabbit in a monk's robe.
Sometimes he flashed from the wall on one side to the other side, and then from the corner to the beam, waiting for the patrol to pass by.
Li Yan followed behind and looked at it, feeling a little unbearable.
Please, you are so rude!
Can't you move farther every time you sprint? Do you have to jump up and down?
In desperation, he could only admire the white walls and red doors, thinking about how rich Mr. Dou was.
You must know that the most impressive wall of Duke Wei's Mansion is the main gate. Walking inside, you can't avoid some shabby corners.
The same is true for Wu Minzhi's Zhou Guogong Mansion. Some places are built with layers of rammed loess without any paint.
This chamber of commerce is the only one with a completely white exterior wall. Once inside, it is neatly painted, and every building is spacious and tidy.
Except not daring to overstep, I cultivate everything to the best.
Seeing the big from the small, you can see how wealthy it is.
Li Yan was quite lucky to have Meihua guards to explore the way. Otherwise, if he sneaked into such a large place by himself, it would be difficult to find the key areas in a short time.
At this time, Ming Chongyan followed the intelligence route and sneaked into the core of the Chamber of Commerce, where the account books were stored.
There are five large rooms in the house alone, with huge wooden shelves lined up inside, and account books arranged in an orderly manner.
Ming Chongyan looked in from the window, but looked away.
There are too many to check.
But he wasn't ready to give up.
He also wanted to know whether the poison pills that poisoned the new scholars were leaked by the Dou family?
Monitoring the Dou family is the duty of the Meihua internal guards. If the truth is discovered first, it will be too shameless in front of the saint.
The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Chang'an County Government, and the Internal Guard are all not as capable as our Meihua Internal Guard!
"It's time to make some moves on my foreign job..."
Ming Chongyan had longing in his eyes.
He thought he was tired of Prince Ji's literature. What was the point of reading with a nine-year-old child?
If you can hold real power like Li Yan, that will be called majesty!
As a result, Ming Chongyan jumped left and right again and headed towards the warehouse further inside.
Li Yan followed.
When he arrived at the warehouse area, he found that it was not as big as he had imagined.
Because Dou's major shops in Chang'an originally had warehouses.
What is stored in the headquarters warehouse is only the highest quality goods.
He randomly picked a warehouse and looked inside. In addition to the guards who were standing guard, Li Yan also saw that placed on the outermost edge were exquisite toothbrushes.
The brush handles made of cow bones are placed side by side, with a faint flowing luster.
Don't underestimate it, each toothbrush sells for more than 5 guan, and a toothbrush costs 10,000 yuan. The profit is terrifying.
This is still the cheapest product. Looking inside, you can see exquisite cups and tableware, silky Sichuan brocade and Yue silk, and majestic mattresses and carpets.
One foot of blanket and one thousand taels of silk. The ground doesn't know how cold it is and people want to keep it warm. It doesn't take many people's clothes to make lichen.
There is no such poem by Bai Juyi yet, but there is no shortage of what the rich and powerful enjoy.
The key is that Li Yan discovered that what Dou made was very similar to what was used in the prince's womb.
He had never seen what the imperial palace furnishings were like, but he had been to Shaoyangyuan many times and could spot the similarities at a glance.
This is not an overstep, because many of them are not royal items and can be sold by merchants.
No wonder the dignitaries in Beijing like to go to Dou's shop to buy good things. Everything is closer to the royal family. How can they not be sought after?
On the other side, Ming Chongyan's eyes were also scanning.
There are more guards here. His feet fell silently, and his movements were strange. He came and went suddenly, and finally touched the shelf in the deepest part of the warehouse.
Quietly, he took away a brocade box.
After Ming Chongyan succeeded, he left the warehouse, went to a remote corner, and opened the box.
He pinched the elixir with two fingers and took it out. He first looked at the luster, then smelled it gently, and finally even stuck out his tongue and licked it.
After repeated confirmations, a very strange look appeared on his face, with both memories and fear, and he murmured: "Yundan... is really Yundan... after the Jiangnan murder case... I can still see him again."
This thing..."
"What did the Taoist priest say?"
After all, Ming Chongyan was good at martial arts. Although Li Yan followed him from afar, he did not get close.
I can only see from a distance that he seems to be talking to himself, but I can't hear exactly what he said.
It doesn't matter, it won't take long for you to say it obediently!
And judging from this person's reaction, the pill that Ming Chongyan stole from the depths of the warehouse was most likely the cloud pill sold by the student Zhang Yang.
What Jia Sibo said is true, there is a problem with Dou's Chamber of Commerce.
As expected, Ming Chongyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately put the elixir back into the box, flashed, and headed back to the warehouse.
He wants to put the elixir back.
Now that we have confirmed that the headquarters of the Dou Chamber of Commerce really has this kind of elixir, we cannot alert the enemy.
We must bring a large team of people to come here and catch the thief and the stolen goods in order to get the evidence.
Otherwise, just by sneaking in, even if you steal a box of elixirs and get out, the other party can completely deny it and then secretly destroy the elixirs.
Li Yan also agreed with this behavior.
He is indeed a professional agent, and his work is indeed reliable.
Seeing that Ming Chongyan's infiltration was successful, Li Yan's figure flashed and disappeared.
Ming Chongyan put the box back into the depths of the warehouse. The sky became brighter. With a more careful attitude, he slowly patrolled through the layers and finally arrived at the outer wall.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he thought of Li Yan waiting relaxedly outside while he jumped up and down and moved left and right inside, Ming Chongyan felt a surge of embarrassment in his heart and his eyes began to roll rapidly.
How can we let the inner guards and the Dou family conflict, and at the same time let the plum blossom inner guards get the credit and take all the benefits?
The moment he climbed out of the wall, he had an idea, and a sinister curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then the next moment, his eyes froze.
Because there is nothing outside the wall.
Li Yan, who was supposed to be standing here, disappeared.
Ming Chongyan was startled at first, then glanced around, and his expression quickly returned to calm.
He guessed that someone might be passing by, so Li Jiyi panicked and hid.
After all, the other party is obviously a novice when doing this kind of thing, and he doesn't even dare to climb over the wall.
People who cherish feathers so much naturally don't want to be seen by others.
However, as the sky gets brighter and brighter, more and more servants start to get busy, and the shouts gradually start to sound.
Ming Chongyan waited, but still saw no one, so he could only hide aside.
He doesn’t want to be seen either!
After waiting like this for a quarter of an hour, just when Ming Chongyan was about to return to Xuandu to watch, he saw Li Yan flash out from the corner, carrying a bulging bag behind him, and he moved towards this direction.
Wave: "Taoist! Taoist!"
Ming Chongyan ducked over and looked at the human figure protruding from the sack. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Shanxin, what are you..."
Hey, bad guys learn quickly!
Li Yan said excitedly: "Taoist Master, I just discovered a secret spy in the Dou Chamber of Commerce!"
Hey...huh??
Ming Chongyan's heart skipped a beat, and then he saw Li Yan untying the bag and taking out Wei Rongniang's sealed plum blossom.
Li Yan explained: "This woman has ulterior motives. A few months ago, she was a fake mother who knew how to be a good lady. She caused a righteous friend of mine to be imprisoned unjustly. Today I saw her again in the Dou Chamber of Commerce. There must be something hidden behind this person."
Holding a huge secret!"
Ming Chongyan: "..."
Rong Niang: "..."
In comparison, Rong Niang was even more broken.
At that time, as a fake mother, she received a group of three guests in the courtyard of Shu Sanniangzi.
Li Yan, Qiu Shenji and An Shengan.
More than three months ago, Qiu Shenji arrested her once and escaped using her identity as a plum blossom inner guard.
More than three months later, Li Yan knocked her out again and kidnapped her from the Dou Chamber of Commerce in broad daylight.
Next, it’s the turn of the mind-soothing, right?
What about you doing three escapes and three escapes?
I am a dignified plum blossom inner guard!
But Li Yan obviously didn't mean to respect her identity, so he stuffed it into the bag again, and said excitedly to Ming Chongyan: "Taoist Priest, the saint is very concerned about this case. I have made a major discovery, and I need to enter the palace quickly."
, I’ll say goodbye now!”
Seeing that Li Yan was really about to enter the palace and Rong Niang could not say anything, Ming Chongyan had no choice but to reach out again: "Good faith, please stay!"
Li Yan paused and looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with Taoist Master?"
Ming Chongyan said coldly: "This woman has a different identity. Li Jiyi does not need to bring her into the palace. She is originally serving the saint."
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Master Ming, do you know what you are talking about? She was a spy, and you actually said that she served a saint. How did you know about it?"
Ming Chongyan's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he felt the majesty of a fifth-grade official. He was angry and stopped pretending: "She is serving the saint, and the same is true for poor Taoists. To be honest, we are plum blossom inner guards, and the inner guards are the same.
Wei belongs to the same lineage, but his identity is hidden, and he is under the Holy Order, does Li Jiyi understand now?!"
As he spoke, his arrogance gradually grew.
We all have dual identities. No matter how humble we are on the surface, we are the followers of the saint secretly. No matter how close or distant we are, you can’t compare!
Rong Niang, half of her body was put into the bag, and she thought she had passed the test. She just looked forward to not being captured again...
But soon, she discovered that it wasn't that easy this time.
Because Li Yan looked at the two of them carefully, shook his head, and said in a very unbeatable tone:
