"What do you want to do?" the child asked proactively.
Shen Fanghui didn't talk nonsense. She just took out a letter from her lapel, and then she took the initiative to hand the letter to the child and said, "Take this first."
When the child heard this, he stupidly accepted the letter.
Then Shen Fanghui just pointed towards the tea room in front and said, "Give this letter to that rich young man. Your mission will be completed. If someone stops you, just say that you are entrusted by someone to hand over the letter." Give it to the second son of the Zhu family. If he asks you who asked you to give this letter to you, just say it is a strong middle-aged man."
When he heard that Shen Fanghui asked him to do such a simple task, which would earn him fifteen coppers. This task was his income from working for several days, the child naturally said "good" when he heard this.
After the two happily exchanged coins and letters, the child went directly to find Zhu Yuewu, while Shen Fanghui stayed behind and secretly observed Zhu Yuewu's movements in the corner.
The child quickly found Zhu Yuewu. He took the initiative to walk to Zhu Yuewu. However, before he could get close to Zhu Yuewu, Zhu Yuewu's entourage immediately stopped the child and said, "Kid, what do you want? You don't have eyes. Here is Can you sit down?"
It was obvious that this group of people directly regarded the child as someone who wanted to sit in Zhu Yuewu's seat to eat.
In fact, Zhu Yuewu is indeed exaggerating. There are only four or five tables in this small tea shed. Many people sit at the same table here, but even so, there are still not enough tables and chairs here. Thanks to this There is a natural mine nearby, so many people work here. Therefore, although the tea shed is small and remote, there are still many people eating lunch here, so there are often not enough tables and chairs, and most people can only sit on the floor. , but Zhu Yuewu occupied the entire table by himself.
How could such behavior not arouse public outrage? If Zhu Yuewu didn't have enough people, it would be impossible for anyone to allow him to behave like this.
The child didn't know Zhu Yuewu's thoughts at the moment, so he immediately raised the letter in his hand and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't want to sit at that table, someone asked me to give this letter to Master Zhu Er."
Upon hearing this, even Zhu Yuewu couldn't help but look in the direction of the child. After all, he didn't say his name, how did this child know his name.
When the child saw Zhu Yuewu looking in his direction, he couldn't help but said, "Second Young Master Zhu, this is your letter."
Although Zhu Yuewu didn't know this child, since the child knew him, he naturally had to study it carefully.
So he only said to the child, "Child, come here!".
At the same time, he only motioned to the people around him to let the child go.
After the child was put down, he immediately handed the letter in his hand to Zhu Yuewu.
Zhu Yuewu took the letter from the child's hand, opened it and read it.
There were only a few simple words in the letter: The person you are looking for can be found by waiting by the river in the eastern suburbs.
The Dongjiao Port was not the port where he had just disembarked. He had not taken that route at the time. Once he realized this, Zhu Yuewu felt that this seemed to be reliable information. After all, the waterway in Tanzhou could only go through Tanzhou East. suburb.
It's just that Zhu Yuewu is suspicious by nature. Although he thinks that what the other child said is probably true, he still can't help but wonder who asked the child to give this letter to him.
It was also because he thought of this that Zhu Yuewu only took the initiative to ask the child, "Child, tell me honestly, how do you recognize me?"
Although Zhu Yuewu seemed to ask more questions than that person, the child still said honestly, "It was the messenger who asked me to find you. He said that if anyone stops me, he asked me to call you Master Zhu Er." .I did what she said.”
After hearing the child's words, Zhu Yuewu's questioning slowly got back on track.
"Who is he? Who are you? Why did he ask you to deliver the letter?"
Faced with Zhu Yuewu's series of questions, the child just whispered the answer, "I work as a small worker in a mine nearby."
Yes, I originally came here to eat, but the man suddenly stopped me. He said to give me fifteen coppers and ask me to help him deliver the letter to you. I thought this was a good deal, so I agreed to him. As for who he is, to be honest, I don't actually recognize him. "
After listening to Xiaotong's words, Zhu Yuewu just nodded silently.
However, he still refused to give up. He only asked one last question, "Then do you know what that person looks like?"
The child glanced at Zhu Yuewu, and then whispered, "That man is a middle-aged man with a beard. After he gave me the information, he went to the eastern suburbs."
After receiving this information, Zhu Yuewu couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Then he also gave the child two cents, and then he let the child leave. But before the child left, he only asked people to stare at the child.
It wasn't until they were sure that the child was really a worker in the mine that Zhu Yuewu's people came back and reported in a low voice, "Master, that child is really a worker in the mine. What should we do now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuewu just said quietly, "Of course we are going to the eastern suburbs. After all, we haven't even looked for that street yet."
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, his subordinates only responded with a "yes".
Then a group of them and Zhu Yuewu went to the river in the eastern suburbs.
When he arrived at the river in the eastern suburbs, Zhu Yuewu was quite smart. This time he did not make a big fanfare. At the moment, he just let his men come and go pretending to be sailors at the port.
And he himself was observing everything in a private room on the second floor of an inn in the port. This private room was a good observation point. Almost the entire harbor was within his field of vision.
But just as he was observing for a moment, the waiter who came in to deliver fruit suddenly handed him another piece of paper. This time, the words on the piece of paper were much clearer and stronger. It was obvious that the person who wrote to him was not the same person. personal.
There is only one time written on it: three quarters of Youshi.
have to! It seemed that he would have to fight here for a long time, but he still asked the waiter out of curiosity, "Have you seen clearly who the messenger is?"
However, this time, the waiter's answer only made him feel equally disappointed.
"I didn't see it. I just found this note when I was carrying the plate. When I saw your name written on it, I thought the person was in contact with you." The waiter replied in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, this time he still didn't know who the mysterious person was. Zhu Yuewu felt irritated and slightly uncomfortable at the same time.
But no matter how unhappy he was, it was impossible for the waiter to ask one, two, three, four.
So when Zhu Yuewu heard this, he just whispered, "Okay, you can go out."
The waiter immediately left the room after hearing this. At the same time, the subordinates around Zhu Yuewu naturally only saw this note. When they saw this note, the subordinates couldn't help but take the initiative and asked Zhu Yuewu, "Master, what should we do now?"
Zhu Yuewu looked at the note coldly, then hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Keep waiting!"
"But let's wait here. What should we do if that person sneaks away at this moment?"
Facing the other party's question, Zhu Yuewu just said indifferently, "No, Lu Zhizhang ran in a hurry. I guess he didn't bring anything with him. A person without a guide or an identity who takes any land route will be a dead end. He You don’t need to leave Tanzhou City to get caught. If you don’t believe it, send one or two people to ask. But I don’t think he is so stupid. If he wants to leave Yunzhou, he should still take the waterway. I would rather wait for him here now. It’s just right.”
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, the guard couldn't help but whisper, "The young master is still wise, so let's just wait here for his arrival."
After hearing the guard's words, Zhu Yuewu just nodded.
Then Zhu Yuewu stopped talking to the guard and left directly from the guard.
As for Lu Zhizhang, since Lu Zhizhang and the secret guards decided to leave here, they must now find a way to find a way out.
As for the road guide, it’s from Yongshun Street.
Naturally, there are no people, so if they want to leave here, they still have to go to a place where foreign merchants gather. After all, only the foreign merchants there can carry the guide with them.
Naturally, the places where businessmen from other places gather are the major inns in Tanzhou.
After all, locals generally don't sleep rough in places like this.
So after Lu Zhizhang's secret guards decided on the opponent, they immediately started looking for suitable candidates among the crowd.
It was just after noon at this time, and after Jixiang prepared the meal, he only saw Lu Zhizhang alone in the yard, so Jixiang only asked in surprise, "Master Lu, where is your friend?"
When Jixiang asked about this, Lu Zhizhang felt that this was a suitable time for a showdown, so he only took the initiative and said, "He went out with another friend. That friend said he had a way to help us with the route, so I asked him Followed."
Upon hearing this, Jixiang couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to leave Tanzhou?"
Lu Zhizhang nodded, "That's exactly what I planned. I've been really annoying the girl these days."
Hearing this, Ji Xiang immediately shook his head and said, "Don't bother me. You two have helped me a lot, and with you here, no one is causing trouble in my stall. It's you who have helped us a lot. I don't even know what to do." Thank you."
After saying this, Jixiang just said, "Wait a minute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiang hurried into the house.
Just when Lu Zhizhang didn't know why Jixiang left, Jixiang came to Lu Zhizhang again.
She took out a small bag and said, "This is for you. It's a little small, so don't dislike it."
Lu Zhizhang looked at Jixiang with some confusion. He opened the kit without knowing what was going on and looked over, only to find that it contained a bag of copper coins.
