The one next to Rouge Lane is called Hongyun Street.
Hongyun Street gathers more than half of the gambling houses in the capital.
Lin Jimin smelled of alcohol, wore a coarse cloth trousers, and the most ordinary cloth boots, and staggered towards Hongyun Street. He did not choose a big gambling house, but only hung a sign with dice painted on it at the door.
He stopped at the door, looked around, and then stepped in.
The air inside was filthy. A metal bucket was burning firewood in the lobby. The room was not that cold, but it became increasingly smoky. Around the fire, there were five square tables, each of which was crowded.
It was full of people. There were large and small copper coins on the table, as well as black pieces of silver.
"My brother, you have to go in and go out." A bearded man scolded Lin Jimin who was standing at the door: "I'm freezing to death. They are really pigs, they are dragging their feet."
Lin Jiren walked over without any unnecessary expression on his face.
The shopkeeper came up and said, "No matter what table you have, you can take it."
Lin Jiren walked towards the man who just scolded him, "Okay, let's make a bet."
A group of men shouted "buy big", "buy small" and "open". Then there were happy laughter and unlucky curses.
Immediately afterwards, there was another noisy "buy and leave".
Lin Jiren is an anomaly in the community. He doesn't laugh when he wins, and he doesn't get scolded when he loses. At dinner time, he didn't know whether he had lost or won, so he just got up and walked out to a roadside stall.
A bowl of wontons, a pound of pork head meat, two ounces of wine, and I started eating slowly.
After eating, I wandered back. When I passed by Rouge Lane, I lingered at the entrance of a small JI hospital for a long time, and then I turned around and left.
Lin Jimin turned around Rouge Lane, paused slightly, but moved forward without being disturbed.
This is being watched.
He pursed his lips and weighed the money bag in his hand.
Before going out, he deliberately changed into ordinary clothes, including the boots he wore in the army. But he did not change out the purse that contained the silver in the army.
This purse is very special. It is a job specially added by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to find a way for the half-year-old girl's family to make a living. Every time military pay is issued, everyone's money is packaged in a purse and given to the person's hand. The material is fabric
They are different, but they all have a font size on them, which is the code of the military camp where each person is located.
Lin Jimin went home expressionless. It seemed that there would be more surprises tomorrow.
Zhao Hanshan leaned on the couch and looked at Mustache: "Still haven't found the right candidate?"
Mustache frowned: "I just found one today, I have to look at it again."
Zhao Hanshan said a little irritably: "You have to hurry up. If you delay it any longer, you may really show your weakness. That Yin Sanlang will be in the Jiaofang Division until when? If not, just tell those girls and ask Yin Sanlang to take them away."
.You don’t have to stay in the Jiaofang Department.”
Mustache frowned: "His Royal Highness, I think so too. Those... they have been hiding down there for a whole day without even stuttering. They have long been dissatisfied. Now, they can only come out quietly at night. The risk is still very high, now
There are too many people staring at Jiaofangsi."
Zhao Hanshan gritted his teeth: "I'll give you three more days. If we still can't find the right person, we'll have to be sorry."
Mustache's heart skipped a beat, are they going to randomly release a bomb in the capital? Damn it, they are all a group of inhumane people. I grew up in the capital, and this is my own home. If it really explodes...
He himself has not passed this threshold in his heart.
"Yes! I understand, little one." Mustache pursed his lips and quietly withdrew.
Zhao Hanshan frowned as he looked at the direction that Mustache was leaving, and his uneasiness became more and more intense. He came to occupy the capital, not to be buried with it. He turned around, looked at the map of the capital posted on the wall, and began to weigh...
…
At this time, Lin Yutong and Cheng Feng had finally finished looking through all the records.
"There are seventy-eight firework and firecracker merchants, large and small." Cheng Feng rubbed his eyes and handed over all the excerpted papers.
Lin Yutong took it over: "You go to bed first. I have nothing to do with you now. Remember, don't talk nonsense when you go out."
"Madam asked me to check the accounts." Cheng Feng waved his hand, "I don't know anything else."
Lin Yutong nodded: "Eat something before going to sleep."
Cheng Feng said 'hmm' and walked out.
Lin Yutong leaned back and said, "Call Hei Qi to come in."
When Hei Qi came in, he saw Lin Yutong with bloodshot eyes, "Madam..."
Lin Yutong pointed to the list on the table: "Keep an eye on them. Find all their warehouses where gunpowder is hidden, and find a way to get them wet."
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. This thing was not stable at all. If you didn't pay attention, it would explode. It was no joke.
Hei Qi took it: "Madam, don't worry, you won't make a mistake."
Lin Yutong then fell asleep peacefully.
In the middle of the afternoon the next day, Lin Jiren continued to Hongyun Street. As soon as he entered the street, he was blocked by a smiling middle-aged man.
"Sir, could you lend me a place to talk?"
Lin Jiren raised his eyebrows: "I'm sorry, I don't remember knowing you."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, as long as you know Saichun Taoxing." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and did not move out of the way.
Lin Jiren narrowed his eyes and saw that Sai Chuntao was the top girl in the JI Institute who had been wandering at the door for a long time yesterday. He didn't know this girl. He only heard it mentioned by a colleague in the army and knew where such a person could be.
He knew that this might be the person Lin Yutong asked him to catch.
I just sold a flaw, exposed a little weakness, and was noticed by the other party. I was really anxious to see them.
"You know a lot." Lin Jiren walked towards a restaurant at the corner of the street, "Then go and listen to what you want to say."
Only then did the middle-aged man smile: "Please."
We entered the restaurant and entered the private room. They both took their seats.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Miss Chun Tao is as beautiful as a peach and plum, and as beautiful as a spring flower. No wonder you... are so concerned."
Lin Jiren pursed his lips, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I just saw this man lingering under the girl's window yesterday, and I couldn't bear it. It's not difficult to see the pretty girl..." the middle-aged man said, and laughed meaningfully.
Lin Jiren stood up suddenly: "Who are you? What happened to Miss Jiang Chuntao?"
The middle-aged man shook his head gently: "Sure enough, a hero is still a beauty." He put his hand on Lin Jiren's shoulder and pressed it gently, "We are asking for help from you, so naturally we will not hurt Miss Chuntao.
"
"Is this a threat?" Lin Jiren looked at the middle-aged man: "I don't care who you are, but if you want to make a move on me, you still have to think carefully. When you find out clearly what my last name is, you can talk about this again.
If you really know the truth, let me go as soon as possible. Otherwise, I don’t know who will regret it."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "Of course we know your last name, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Jiren narrowed his eyes: "Since you know my surname is Lin, you should know what the surname Lin means in the capital. Our aunt is not a good-tempered person."
"So what?" the middle-aged man lowered his voice, "No matter how powerful he is, Fourth Master Yin still wants to chop off the heads of the Lin family."
Lin Jiren seemed to be choked all of a sudden.
The middle-aged man then smiled and said: "Look, you also know that at critical times, the big shots don't care about the feelings of us little people. For example, you are infatuated with Miss Chuntao, but you really want to pick her up.
Can your Lin family agree to go home? Can your aunt agree? She can shave the girl from this brothel alive."
"Shut up!" Lin Jiren said fiercely: "Don't sow discord here. Just tell me what you want me to do. I will do what I can do, and what I can't do...I won't risk my life for a woman."
"It's great! It's true!" The middle-aged man stood up and whispered: "Actually, it's nothing? Are you taking a few people into the military camp and going around twice?"
Lin Jiren looked at the middle-aged man with strange eyes: "Are you okay with your brain? This?"
"Is it easy?" the middle-aged man turned to look at Lin Jiren and asked.
Lin Jiren laughed mockingly: "Don't you ask me what I am in charge of in the military camp? You understand the import and export of medicinal materials. This is the only place where a doctor and a medicine boy are required. It is the only place where outsiders can be brought in and out. So, for
For me, it's really simple. But I want to ask, why are you going into the military camp? If it's a life-threatening thing, I won't do it."
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with joy, and he whispered: "Master Lin, you are worrying too much. We are here to buy and sell news to make some money. We entered the camp to see if the troops stationed in the capital are good.
There are really 20,000.”
Lin Jiren shook his head: "I am only responsible for Beicheng. I can't do anything else. If you want me to show you everything, we can't talk about business anymore. Say goodbye!"
The middle-aged man grabbed Lin Jiren and said, "Master Lin, we are willing to redeem Miss Chuntao's life and buy a small house with a few girls and servants. We will give it to Master Lin together with the house and the house. What do you think?"
Lin Jiren looked embarrassed, "No, I can't trust you."
Seeing that he really couldn't stop it, the middle-aged man glanced anxiously behind the screen.
At this time, a short middle-aged man with a mustache came out from behind the screen.
"Master Lin, nice to meet you!" Mustache raised his hand to Lin Jiren.
Lin Jiren raised his eyebrows: "Shopkeeper Hu, how could it be you?"
The door of the private room next door opened quietly, and a yawning man wandered out. It wasn't until he reached the street that he sat opposite a man wearing a hood, "It's Shopkeeper Hu..."
"
The man wearing the hood put down a piece of silver and turned around to leave. He didn't take off his hood until he entered the house. It was Hei Qi.
"Shopkeeper Hu?" Lin Yutong looked a little surprised...
