Chapter 272 News and Auction House
Yi Xifeng and Xia Mingfei were taken to a quiet room in the back hall, and the man as the broker turned around and went out.
Soon someone pushed open the door and walked in. It turned out to be an extraordinary-looking woman.
This woman has a plump figure and walks with three swaying steps. She has a cinnabar-red mole under her eye, which only adds to her charm.
"Little girl Hong Mole, I have met two guests. I wonder what they need from our Shahe Casino?" The beautiful woman walked to the opposite side of the two people, sat down directly, and asked directly.
The fair boy's eyes flashed and he asked in a low voice: "Can't the girl's last name be... Li?!"
The woman blinked and didn't answer, just shook her head.
Yi Xifeng's original intention to complain was instantly relieved, and he continued to ask:
"We have two pieces of information we want to ask about. First, we want to know about a person who died in Luoye City last month. He came with a caravan. He was very powerful and also fought with a group of horse thieves in the South Gate Outer Territory. We fought. I want all the information on him."
The beautiful woman nodded, indicating that she had remembered it and could continue to ask the next question.
"As for the second one, I want to know some recent information about Ji Rentu."
The woman nodded, stood up, bowed to the two of them, and said calmly: "Two distinguished guests, please wait a moment. The little lady will come as soon as you go."
After saying that, the man left the wing calmly.
Seeing the other party leaving, Xia Mingfei reminded him: "This gambling house is so large in scale, it is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with Ji Shenfu. If you directly inquire about Fan Yang and Ji Rentu's information, you will expose our .”
Yi Xifeng said with a smile: "Some things are easier to hide the more they are hidden. If you don't expose them easily, many things will be easier to hide."
While the two were waiting in this wing, there was a large house in the alley in the west of the city. A mean man with a gloomy face was lying on a wicker chair, looking at the red maple leaves on his tree that were already like fire.
At this time, a man dressed as a servant ran from outside, knelt down a foot away from the man, and said softly: "Gang leader, there is news from the gambling house."
The man frowned and chuckled: "Speak!"
"Two people came here today to inquire about information about the previous spy and General Ji." The boy replied softly.
"Oh? It's interesting, you actually heard that I'm here." The man laughed. Then he ordered:
"Let the red mole tell them all the information, as long as it doesn't leak. But remember their reaction!"
The kneeling boy hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to arrest me?"
"Catch? No one is allowed to make a move until they have determined how big the fish is behind him. Remember to catch the fish in a hurry!" the gloomy man ordered in a deep voice.
Just when the fair boy and the round-faced young man were getting hungry from waiting, the beautiful woman came back again.
"I've kept you two waiting for a long time. There was only one person who fought with the horse thieves, followed the caravan to Luoye City, and died inexplicably. There are only two pieces of information about this person. The first one is fifty taels, and the second one Two hundred taels!"
"Two hundred taels!?" Xia Mingfei exclaimed.
He was originally engaged in intelligence work, so he naturally had a good understanding of the prices in this kind of intelligence market. The price of information obtained on the black market rarely exceeded one hundred taels.
Yi Xifeng was very calm and continued to ask: "There are three pieces of information about Ji Rentu's movements, the first is fifty taels, the second is eighty taels, and the last is five hundred taels!"
…
After a while, Yi Xifeng and the two came out of the gambling house, followed by the beautiful woman.
"Did you enjoy your visit, sir? You are welcome to come again next time."
But after the two of them left, the woman's original warm smile disappeared instantly. Yi Xifeng, on the other hand, rushed to Jianghu Tavern with great satisfaction.
He didn't ask for all the information. He asked for Fan Yang's fifty-tael message and Ji Rentu's five-hundred-mile message.
Thinking of the woman's expression at that time, Yi Xifeng can still laugh now. As for the information he received, it basically met his expectations.
The fifty-tael piece of information about Fan Yang is: this person’s name is Fan Yang, a warrior from Yinren Village.
That's right, it was this piece of information, a piece of information that was of no use to Yi Xifeng.
Ji Rentu's five hundred taels of information was much more accurate: Ji Rentu had recently left Luoye City, but had gone to Chunfeng Town. This was revealed by his butler at the auction some time ago.
As expected, it was five hundred taels of information, and even where it came from was stated so clearly.
But Yi Xifeng still didn't think the news was worth five hundred taels.
But as the saying goes, one person is short of wisdom, but everyone is wise. The fair boy still planned to go back to the inn to discuss it again.
………………Dividing line………………
Soon Yi Xifeng. Xia Mingfei, Zhang Yanshi and Lu Huahua returned to Jianghu Tavern.
The fair boy told everyone the news he had found out.
"He went to Chunfeng Town? Where was he going? Could it be that Ji Shenfu was doing anything there?" After hearing these two pieces of information, Lu Huahua couldn't help but ask.
"Also, Ji Rentu's butler, why are you going to the auction house?" Li Xintian added from the side.
Obviously, these answers are not something they can answer. Zhang Yanshi, the team leader, explained: "It seems that we can only have a chance to find out the truth by going to the auction house first!"
The Auction House of Luoye City is a landmark building located in the east district of the city. The auction house of Luoye City is also one of the most developed industries.
After all, it is the most powerful city in the south, and it is also a relatively famous trading center in the world today. There are all kinds of weird and weird things.
So you can find all kinds of things you can't think of at the auction here. But there are advantages and disadvantages. Such a large cargo throughput makes it impossible for there to be only one auction venue. There are often four venues starting the auction at the same time.
This also leads to the fact that whatever you encounter depends on your fate. It also increases the difficulty of finding a specific item.
Zhao Long brought Ma San over and briefly told him these two pieces of information. The frustrated man still shook his head and said that he didn't know Ji Rentu's plan or intention.
Zhang Yanshi continued: "In that case, let's go to the auction house in Chengdong District tomorrow! It's me, Huahua, Xifeng and Mingfei. The four of us will go to the four venues respectively to try to find our target."
The target mentioned by the heroic young man was Ji Rentu's housekeeper. Of course, the final outcome was not within their control.
Zhao Long thought for a while and said softly: "Tonight I will go to Ji Rentu's house in the city to observe and see if I can confirm the identity of that person."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed for a while, and they nodded and said: "It's best to be careful in everything."
At this time, Li Xintian, who had been silent, said, "I think Brother Mingfei and I can change the arrangements for tomorrow."
Yi Xifeng understood what the girl meant and frowned: "You want to wear a mask to the auction?"
The fair-skinned girl nodded slightly, then shook her head and said, "This is not the most important thing."
