"Brother, someone is back!"
Zhang San heard something going on in the backyard and hurried over to check, and soon a little rogue came in. Qinbei Pavilion
"Did you find anything?"
Shi Qian looked at the little rogue and asked.
"Brother, when Gao Qiu returned to the Taiwei Mansion today, someone stopped the sedan and said something about Huang Wenbing and Sun Lei!"
The little rogue bowed to Shi Qian.
"Brother Sun Lei?"
"Huang Wenbing!"
Shi Qian and Ma Lin's expressions changed drastically. Shi Qian was worried about Sun Lei, while Ma Lin was surprised that Huang Wenbing came to Tokyo.
"You've done a great job, this is your reward! I'll send it to you later if there's any news, and I'll still have the reward. Li Si, take him out, and have enough food and wine!"
Shi Qian took out a piece of silver and threw it to Xiao Popi, and then ordered Li Si to take Xiao Popi down.
"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!"
The little rogue was overjoyed to receive the silver. The silver was more than two taels, enough for him to eat and drink for a month.
"These are all orphans on the streets of Tokyo. Over time, they turned into rogue beggars. I asked Zhang San and Li Si to find a group of honest people to inquire about various information in Tokyo."
Shi Qian looked at Ma Lin and said, since Sun Lei sent Ma Lin to help him, it is necessary to introduce his intelligence network in Tokyo - a group of spies composed of the most common rogue beggars on the interface.
"Brother Shi Qian is really powerful. These rogue beggars are everywhere in the world, and Tokyo is probably no exception. These people live in no fixed abode and wander around without being noticeable. They are really perfect candidates for spying on information!"
Ma Lin cupped his fists in admiration at Shi Qian.
"My brother arranged everything in advance. I'm just following his instructions."
Shi Qian smiled and shook his head. Before he came, Sun Lei had already asked Zhang San and Li Si to do this, but the scale was small at the time, and it expanded after he came.
"Brother Ma Lin knows about Huang Wenbing?"
Shi Qian looked at Ma Lin and asked about the business.
"Brother Shi Qian, didn't I just say that Brother Sun Lei was chased by the Wuwei Army and the Jiangzhou Army after he escaped from Jiankang Mansion? It was all by the hands of Huang Wenbing. The Jiangzhou Army was defeated and Huang Wenbing escaped. , I didn’t expect that this person would actually arrive in Tokyo and even vote for Gao Qiu!”
Ma Lin said, "Huang Wenbing has been against Sun Lei several times. There is no need to say more about the purpose of coming to Tokyo to pursue high goals this time."
"This thief deserves to die, I'm going to stab him to death tonight!"
After hearing this, Shi Qian gritted his teeth and said, Huang Wenbing deserved to die for trying to harm Sun Lei these two times, and now he dares to ask for help, which is simply a heinous crime.
Shi Qian's horizons have also opened up since he surrendered to Sun Lei. He is no longer the sneaky thief he was before. In addition to being a thief, he can also be an assassin. Just like Jing Ke, he left a name in history. With his skills, he sneaked in and gave people Isn’t it easy to kill a person in his sleep with a few knives?
"Zhang San, take a few scoundrels to have a look and find out where Huang Wenbing lives. I will send his dog head back to Liangshan tomorrow."
Shi Qian looked at Zhang San and ordered.
"Brother Shi Qian has a good trick!"
Ma Lin praised Shi Qian and said that he had inquired about Shi Qian's abilities. If he was an assassin, he would come and go without a trace.
"It's okay, come on, drink!"
Shi Qian smiled. The city of Tokyo seemed prosperous, but after coming for a few months, he also saw the dark side. There were many people dying in vain in the city every day, and no one would notice if he killed someone.
It wasn't until the moon passed high that Zhang San came back.
"Brother Shi Qian, Huang Wenbing must have pleased Gao Qiu and stayed in the Taiwei Mansion. None of the gangsters on the street saw him come out. On the contrary, someone sent his luggage in."
Zhang San looked at Shi Qian and said.
"Live in Taiwei's Mansion!"
Shi Qian frowned. This was not good news. He didn't dare to enter Taiwei's Mansion. Taiwei's Mansion was divided into inner and outer mansions. At most, Huang Wenbing lived in the outer mansion. The guards there were not very tight. He could kill someone if he went in. Killing me was a pleasure at the moment, but the consequences were very serious. If someone was killed in the Taiwei Mansion, Gao Qiu would definitely become vigilant. This would also make it more difficult to follow and inquire about information in Tokyo in the future, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
"Brother Shi Qian, Huang Wenbing is nothing, just leave him alive. He can't hide in the Taiwei Mansion all his life. We will deal with him well when he is alone."
Ma Lin hurriedly advised them that a little impatience would ruin a big plan. They were the eyes and ears of Liangshan in Tokyo, and they could not ignore the overall situation just for the sake of temporary pleasure.
"Okay, let's save his life first!"
Shi Qian nodded.
"But I still have to go to the Taiwei Mansion!"
Shi Qian thought for a while and stood up.
"Brother Shi Qian, that is the residence of the Third Lieutenant. There are many experts. There is no need to go into danger alone."
Ma Lin advised again.
"Brother Ma Lin is overthinking. I'm not going to kill Huang Wenbing, but to see what Huang Wenbing is doing. If he wants to go against us in Liangshan, then we have to be careful."
Shi Qian shook his head and said that he could not ignore Huang Wenbing's sudden arrival. Such a person who was hostile to Liangshan must be monitored and the origins of it clear.
In the dark night, Shi Qian was dressed in black and shuttled through the shadows of the street. It didn't take long for him to arrive at Gao Qiu's Taiwei Mansion. After finding a shade tree, Shi Qian climbed up the courtyard wall. After observing, he followed the courtyard wall and entered. Went to Taiwei Mansion.
At this time, in the Taiwei Mansion, there were still scattered lanterns lighting under the eaves and in the corridors.
Shi Qian looked at several rooms with lights on and quietly walked over. He listened outside the house and searched four or five rooms in a row but couldn't find Huang Wenbing.
Suddenly he saw two people at the end of the corridor, chatting with lanterns, and Shi Qian hurriedly hid in the shadows.
"The new guy is really awesome. Captain Gao even invited him to talk. Why don't we have such good luck?"
"Hey, how do you and I understand those official documents? When the Taiwei gets interested tomorrow, you and I can play Cuju with him, and we will naturally be able to please him."
…
The two of them disappeared at the end of the corridor while chatting.
"The new guy! He knows official documents! He should be Huang Wenbing."
Shi Qian looked at the direction in which the two people were coming and thought, Huang Wenbing was said to be the general judge of Zixian, and this official document was of course not a problem.
I walked cautiously along the corridor, and soon I arrived at the gate of the inner palace. Compared to the outer palace, the guards of the inner palace were tighter, and there were obviously more lanterns in the eaves and corridors.
Seeing that there were many guards at the door, Shi Qian found a remote and uninhabited place, climbed over the wall and went in.
When entering the inner courtyard, Qian did not dare to be careless. He groped forward carefully, avoiding the patrolling troops one after another. The inner courtyard was already divided into five steps, one post, and ten steps.
At the edge of the inner courtyard, a room was brightly lit, with servants waiting outside the door. From time to time, maids would enter carrying tea trays. Shi Qian stopped quietly and carefully touched the back of the room.
"You are very skilled at handling official documents!"
Gao Qiu looked at Huang Wenbing and asked, today he got a flower hairpin as a reward from the emperor, and at night he invited all the officials in the mansion to drink and have a banquet, preparing to show off.
Suddenly there was an urgent message from the Privy Council, saying that a war at the border was about to break out. Gao Qiu only knows how to please the emperor, but he doesn't know what important military matters are, let alone the border war. If he doesn't handle this well, he will be decapitated.
