In the evening, Feilong Lanshan walked out from the back door of Xuanqingwei. He looked back with complicated eyes and sighed.
"I'm just a matchmaker...Why are you playing with me like this!"
Recalling the name and description on the note, Feilong's heart trembled.
"I really hope this is just a dream!"
Sitting dumbly in the corner of the alley, Feilong closed his eyes and seemed really ready to wake up from this depressing "dream".
"Hey...go back."
The reality is that we are so powerless to resist. If we don’t want to die, we can only take advantage of the situation and seek victory in danger. However, Feilong's face turned a little red when he touched the banknote in his pocket.
Three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money. With Feilong's experience in the black market for so many years, he can only earn so much throughout the year. He has to make it during a good year. In a bad year, he can have more than a thousand taels. It would be good to make a profit.
After he calmed down, Feilong walked out of the alley. With a tigerish face and a fierce look on his face, he made passers-by afraid to avoid him, and he returned home with one step at a time.
The next day, Feilong left two thousand silver notes at home and went out. He asked his wife and children to go back to her parents' house to stay for a while, saying that he would pick them up after he finished his errands.
After that, no one knew where Feilong went.
...
In the Black Flag Battalion, Wang Jian and Zhang Liao were working hard and were ready to dig a hole in the Licheng Population Department to push the investigation of the case a big step forward.
In fact, Wang Jian and Zhang Liao had some friendship in private, otherwise Wang Jian would not have directly recommended Zhang Liao to Shen Hao to become the flag officer of Group B. But as Shen Hao said, there is competition within the Black Flag Camp. This is about your own future, and no one will give in.
Therefore, both Group A and Group B took back all the people who had been scattered in other places, and secretly targeted everyone in the Population Department of Licheng, even Qinza.
For three days in a row, Wang Jian and Zhang Liao made no progress when they went to Shen Hao's mansion to report on the case. The people in the Population Department were no different from ordinary yamen officials in terms of their background and daily life, let alone Any sign that they will get mixed up with the evil monks who are public enemies needs to be watched.
As a result, the progress of the case seems to be unstoppable.
"Don't be anxious, go over it again carefully. If there is no problem with the Licheng Population Department, then continue to follow the possible joint deductions. When we handle the case, we must make bold assumptions and be careful to verify."
Wang Jian and Zhang Liao lowered their heads and probably exited Shen Hao's mansion. After that, the two hurriedly left without saying a word. Neither of them were newbies, and each had rich experience. They instinctively felt that there was nothing wrong with the direction they were heading, but they didn't understand why they found nothing. Moreover, there seemed to be something in Shen Hao's words before leaving, and they were still trying to figure it out in their minds.
Not long after the two people left, the guard outside the door reported to Shen Hao that there was news from the back door of the station that Feilong was coming.
The meeting with Fei Long was still in the torture room, and Shen Hao also rejected the others. Anyway, there have been no prisoners in Black Flag Camp who need to be tortured recently. The environment here is quiet, and Shen Hao thinks it is a suitable place for conversation. He completely ignored Feilong's resentful eyes.
Unlike before, Feilong came here carefully "dressed up". He brought a bamboo hat, which also covered the black gauze, and he was no longer wearing a bun but a long robe. Even his wife probably wouldn't recognize this outfit when he walked on the street.
"Mr. Shen Qi, we have already started to handle the matter you ordered. This is what we have found for now." Feilong took off the black gauze hat on his head, took an envelope from his arms and handed it to Shen Hao, which contained the contents of the past two days. Coming results.
Shen Hao opened the envelope and began to read it, and at the same time motioned to Feilong to briefly introduce the process.
"General Qi, I didn't dare to find just anyone to do this. I only found five people whose details I knew well. These people are very courageous, and they have all worked in the military. They are good at watching and following, and their brains are very good." They were all lively and tight-lipped. I had to give away two thousand taels of these five people to get them.
But I basically have a clear picture of the six people on the list you gave me.
The officer in charge, Zhan Wenlin, lives in a large house on Tongzi Street in the south of Fengri City. There are probably no less than fifty people in his family, old and young. I didn't see any monks coming in or out, but they were all dressed up as scholars, fair and clean.
Adjutant Yang Kaishi also lived in Tongzi Street. The house was not small, but the family had a small population. None of the elderly members of the family had come back home. The house only housed Yang Kaishi's family and a few slaves and handymen.
There are two people living in the old street in the west of the city, namely Wang Da and Zhao Chongwu.
Wang Da is a native of Fengri City. He has an older brother and an older sister. His older sister married to Haocheng, and his older brother opened a small wine shop.
Zhao Chongwu is from Yucheng, his wife and children are in his hometown, and now he rents a house alone.
The remaining two live in Caishikou in the north of the city. One is Xie Huan and the other is Zeng Yong. They both moved here from other places. Their families are small and there is no one else besides their wife and children. Like Zhao Chongwu, they also rented houses. "
Shen Hao read the letter Fei Long sent him and threw it into the brazier. Frowning, he asked, "Is there anything special about the living habits of these people?"
"I haven't found anything special so far. But..."
"Say, don't hesitate."
"But Mr. Shen, do you think we should provide some more funds? Those people feel a little guilty after knowing that they are following officials. If I don't need money to suppress them, I'm worried that they will give up their job."
"Okay." Shen Hao is not stingy. The money is not his own. When the time comes, he will use Black Flag Camp's account. But he couldn't give too much. He just asked someone to give him a thousand taels and handed it to Feilong.
"Help me do things well, and I won't miss out on your benefits. Go ahead, keep an eye on it, and don't let go of everything no matter how big or small. If you don't have enough manpower, you can figure it out on your own, but remember, you are doing these things yourself, and I It has nothing to do with Black Flag Camp, and I won’t recognize it, do you understand?”
The corners of Feilong's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart felt cold, but he still responded quickly.
"Okay, go back and keep an eye on me."
"Yes. The young one will take his leave."
Watching Feilong put on his hat again and leave, Shen Hao repeatedly pondered the news that the other party had brought back. Compared with Xuanqingwei, Feilong's efficiency is naturally incomparable, but it is still acceptable. Besides, the opponent is now Shen Hao's least risky choice, so he can only make do with it.
Moreover, the advantage of using Feilong is that it is easy to distance himself from the relationship. If something goes wrong, he can insist that it is not the case, and then cut off Feilong's head with his backhand. Who can do anything to him afterwards? Killing a black market middleman has no psychological burden on Shen Hao. Moreover, the case itself also involves the black market trading of magic weapons, so looking for Feilong as a hidden clue will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
However, Shen Hao was still not sure how effective this move would be. He would take one step first and see if it didn't work before thinking of other methods.
