Big World, as the name suggests, is the largest entertainment venue in the capital, integrating eating, drinking and having fun.
As the largest gold-selling cave in the capital, its existence is not just about eating, drinking and having fun, because in addition to merchants traveling from north to south, there are also wealthy and noble people in the capital who can come here to spend money.
Therefore, this is still the largest intelligence center in Beijing! Although the big world says that the door is open to welcome guests from all over, but ordinary people will step in. Not to mention that the ordinary consumption in the lobby on the first floor can be equivalent to the expenditure of an ordinary people's family for a year. The second and third floors are so expensive. living room…
…
Ordinary people trembled when they heard this. So you won’t hear the trivial stories of ordinary people here. What you hear most are anecdotes from various places brought by merchants from north to south, or customs and customs, or natural and man-made disasters, such as droughts and floods. ,where
There is a thief trouble, there is a gorgeous oiran somewhere... If you are not interested in this, then go to the second floor. The people who can go up to the second floor are all people with some status, the owner of a certain counter number in the local area, the owner of the counter in other places. The boss of a certain business, or some small civil and military officials, most of the conversation here is about
The way to do business is from Guanmen Road, which is the doorway across classes. If you want to make connections in the capital and use connections, this is the right place.
If you are still not interested in these, then go to the third floor.
This is where the real bosses belong. It is not unusual to see a third-rank official in the court here. The royal family, relatives, and nobles often linger here. Those nobles that the common people are familiar with, such as this uncle and that prince, can be seen here. It is said that they are the rarest.
Several princes from the country have also entertained guests here, and there are even rumors that the prince has also visited quietly.
These people are not only here to have fun, but they are not just here to have fun. They all come to socialize with various purposes, so the content of their chats is very explosive to ordinary people. of.
It is because of this that countless people stand on tiptoe to get to the third floor.
Because every sentence here is a piece of priceless information. Of course, ordinary people can't go up to the third floor. Those who can go up are either rich or noble. But if you are just an ordinary wealthy guest, you can only stay in the lobby. If you want to enter the private room, you have to have status, so even if you go up, you may not be able to go up. can hear you
Things you want to hear.
At this time, the waiters on the third floor, the waiters serving tea and water, and the Yingying Yanyan inside became the meat and potatoes. Countless people stuffed their money, trying to find out something, or to pass a message or say hello to them. Post something.
Such a mixed place between dragons and snakes is definitely not an ordinary brothel and wine shop. Is there no one making trouble?
There was once and never again.
Generally, when someone makes trouble in a teahouse or restaurant, the ones who come are from the Military and Horse Division. If someone makes trouble here, people from Dongchang or Jinyiwei come directly to get it!
From then on, no matter if you are a street gangster, a bully from a wealthy family, or a prominent figure, you can be drunk and crazy here, but you can't cause trouble. This is the default iron rule.
Because everyone knows that the backstage of Big World is extremely tough.
How hard is it?
Some people say that the owner behind it is Dongchang, others say that there is a big boss in Jinyiwei, and some even say that it is the prince, but the most rumored one is Huangshang Octopus.
But no matter which one of them it is, ordinary people and ordinary people cannot afford to offend him!
None of these are good! "You are very smart, and you are willing to spend a lot of money." The elegant man slowly sat down, picked up the tea cup, looked at the oil lamp, frowned in thought, Yu Zier did not dare to disturb him, and after waiting for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore: "Sect Master, Our adventure
Why did you come to Beijing at risk? If it is to get information, there is no need for you to come in person."
"Planning" After hearing this, the elegant man put down his teacup and tapped his fingers on the table: "Now the world situation has changed drastically, the Tatars have been refused entry, Li Chuang has asked for peace again, and the future has become increasingly unclear, so we have to plan in advance." .
"But, the investigation in the capital is tight now, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are pulling nails everywhere, we accidentally..." Before Yu Zieer could finish his words, he was interrupted by the elegant man: "This plan is not for the opposition, but for At court!"
"In the court?" Yuzier frowned after hearing this: "The sect leader is going to use that line, but... is he still reliable now?"
The elegant man shook his head slightly: "So we have to explore first."
"Why don't you come down..." Yu Zie'er started but was interrupted by the elegant man with a wave of his hand: "You are not suitable for this matter. I have left it to Master Liu."
"Master Liu is here too." Yu Zier was a little surprised.
The elegant man did not answer the question and glanced at him: "You will leave Beijing tomorrow."
"Why?" Yuzier blurted out, then narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly: "This subordinate has indeed stayed in the capital for a long time!"
"Well, it's all about caution." The elegant man got up and walked to a cabinet in front of the bed, took out a box and handed it to Yuzier: "It has what you need, let's meet in Jinan Mansion."
Fish roe took it, bowed and said: "The subordinate will leave first. The elegant man nodded, Yinghuang, you give it to him."
"No need." Yu Zie'er shook his head lightly, and suddenly said: "By the way, Sect Master, Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, has returned to Beijing."
"Why, wasn't he in the capital before?" The elegant man was startled.
Yu Zie'er shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but my subordinates found that his whereabouts in the past few months have been a mystery, but he appeared in the capital recently. It can't be... related to us."
The elegant man had a solemn look on his face, and then said after a while: "Probably not. I naturally have no flaws in my whereabouts. I'm afraid it's just a coincidence. Of course, we need to be careful."
Huangchenggen, Waidongchang Yamen.
No matter day or night, this place always gives people a dark and spooky feeling. In the main room in the backyard of the Yamen, Chunxiang was half-reclined on a chair, stroking the small teapots with both hands. He looked at the two subordinates who were bowing next to him, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Qilin Sect! This name is quite prestigious. ,hey-hey,
Zhang Xianzhong, if you are hiding in the ground, I can't dig you out, but as long as you move, I can pull your head out with a strand of hair! "
"Those thieves still think that our Dongchang is the wine bag and meal bag of the past, but they don't know that the adults have already laid a dragnet in the capital, waiting for them to show their feet," a subordinate sneered.
"In the past two years, I have been poaching thieves and Tatars, but I couldn't dig out Zhang Xianzhong. I thought he didn't stretch his hands so far. It turned out that he was always acting like a turtle. There is a saying that this guy can really keep his temper." Chunxiang He hummed.
"It's time to stick your head out now, otherwise we will catch you!" The other man narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "That guy has been wandering in the big world for several days, thinking he is being cautious, but he has forgotten the big world. Whose territory is this?”
There are many opinions on who owns the big world, but there is no final conclusion, but as a gold-selling cave where wealthy people from all over the world gather, there will definitely be spies from the imperial court in it. Everyone is mentally prepared for this.
But these preparations are obviously insufficient. The big world naturally has court spies, but the coverage of these spies is much greater than what most people think!
The tea server, the water pourer, the waiter, the string player, the dancer, the singer, the Yingying Yanyan and the young ladies, you don’t know who among these people are the court’s spies or the people with two swords in their own right!
The two swords are Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.
In the big world, many people are reselling information to make extra money, including these informants or undercover agents with double swords.
But while reselling, they are not just fishing.
According to the information you want to find out, the person you want to make friends with will focus on you.
Yu Zie'er is an old Jianghu, and he considers himself an old Jianghu. He is cautious and careful. He first hangs out on the first floor for a day to get acquainted, and then goes to the second floor for entertainment. His lavish spending gives people the feeling of a high-roller. He says to himself He is a businessman from other places.
But the news he could hear on the second floor was not what he was concerned about or wanted to know, but he couldn't get up to the third floor.
You can't go up to the third floor if you have money. Everyone there is either rich or expensive, and they are all familiar faces. A strange face will be very eye-catching when you go up there. The cautious fish roe will not do such an abrupt thing.
So he stared at a little soft girl next to him, pretending to be curious and asked what the big guys upstairs were doing.
The little soft girl said that men all play the same thing, what difference can there be...
After a lot of back-and-forth with the little girl, I asked him if he wanted to make some extra money.
Who in the big world doesn't want money, so the little soft girl went to find the familiar sisters upstairs and asked the big guys upstairs what interesting things they talked about...
Yuzier thought that there was no trace of what he did, but the little soft girl didn't think so. According to the procedure, she told a waiter, and the brother went to a certain room to report, and soon Yuzier came up Watch list.
In the beginning, Dongchang just followed Yu Zie'er as a routine matter. After all, Yu Zie'er didn't show any flaws at this time. They just filtered him out as a regular target.
but!
In the process of tracking, the gangsters suddenly felt that this person had a very strong counter-reconnaissance awareness and ability. He was walking around, walking in circles!
Good guy, this is no ordinary person!
The fans immediately became energetic. Although Yu Zieer is an old Jianghu, although he is cautious, and although his anti-reconnaissance capabilities are super strong, this is the capital, the base camp of the fans, and the Dongchang is not the Dongchang of earlier years, and the people he raises are not wine bags and rice bags.
Immediately dispatch elites to keep track of them for 12 hours.
During this period, they carefully filtered the stores where Yuzier stayed, the places he visited, the people he met, and the words he said, and finally found a suspicious drugstore. Because this is the only place that Yuzier has been to twice, he always carries a few packets of medicine when he comes out, but his walking posture and expression do not look like a patient at all, and there is no medicine maker in the hotel where he lives. work
There is no medicinal smell, so those medicines are just a cover up.
So the drug store owner was held down!
"He did it without any punishment or even a word of mouth." Those who work in their profession have actually made all kinds of mental preparations. He may have been prepared to be beaten to death rather than confess, and would rather die than become a traitor. Prepared, but when the gangsters rushed in and held him down, he himself
I didn’t expect that I would give up any resistance!
The reason is simple, he has a family.
His wife, children, and children were kneeling in the corner with fearful expressions on their faces, which made him give up any resistance!
In addition to what Fanzi said, if you recruit him truthfully, you can avoid death and protect your whole family!
"This is human nature." Chunxiang sighed and tapped his fingers on the table: "Barefooted people are always so proud that they look forward to death, but once they have shoes on their feet, they worry that the hero will be short of breath." Therefore, the medicine shop owner recruited the Qilin Sect, which was an intelligence organization under Zhang Xianzhong. Although the murderer acted openly, this organization was very low-key. It usually lay dormant and seemed to have lost its breath, but if
The moment he moves, he becomes a blockbuster.
For example, when he was at the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum, he wrote a provocative inscription under Chang Yu's nose!
This organization has been operating in the capital for several years, attracting many disciples in the market, and also bribed many people in various agencies of the imperial court to collect information for them.
What's a little disappointing is that this drug store is only a contact point in the capital. The store owner doesn't know much about it. Apart from knowing that the head of the Qilin Sect is called Yu Yingxiong, he doesn't know much about anything else.
"The man entered a wonton shop tonight and hasn't come out yet. According to the shopkeeper, he received a message and gave the man the address of the wonton shop. He had no previous contact with the wonton shop."
"Needless to say, that is another of their strongholds. It seems that they are really cautious!"
"Sir, the medicine shop owner said that an important person from the Qilin Sect will come to Beijing recently. Could it be that person? Should we get him immediately?"
Chunxiang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Monitor closely and don't rush to take action first. Since there are big fish coming to Beijing, we will catch them all." "It's your lord. Just as the two men were about to leave, they were stopped by Chunxiang. The governor was ashamed of the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum. Today he finally pulled the fish's tail. This is a happy event. He sighed as he said, Border affairs are tight, and the governor should
I’m so anxious, we have to find a way to make him happy.”
"My subordinates immediately sent a 800-mile rush to inform the governor of the good news..."
"No, use a faster method." Chunxiang smiled slightly: "Let him have fun first, and when we catch the big fish, we will stew it for him and send it over!"
"Okay, oh by the way, sir, Jiang Bashi and the others will be back soon..."
"We already know this. Hey, Jiang Bashi was fighting with Shen Ce in the south. The killing was a blast. By the way, where has that old boy Wu Mengming been in the past few days?"
"I went to the Jinyiwei Yamen, entered the palace twice, and stayed closed the rest of the time. Hey, sir, you said this old boy has been back for a few days, and he didn't come to our Yamen to walk around..." Chunxiang glanced at his mouth. : "The old boy only has the governor in his eyes. What is he here to do if the governor is not here? Besides, although we both work for the emperor, we are still two yamen after all. You are just visiting relatives."
