After staying in the City of Death for a long time, Tan Bin felt that people would become very sensitive and would get up in arms at the slightest sign of trouble. What's more, he was a secret agent of Blackwater, so he was even more sensitive in this regard.
It’s no good if you’re not sharp, because you’ll die.
Right under Tan Bin's nose, three of the top spies who had followed him to the City of Wasted Death had died. Fortunately, these three people entered the City of Fushou under other identities and were not involved in the horse and carriage business.
Since this year, investment in the City of Wasted Death has continued to increase. As far as Tan Bin knows, the funds in his hands have doubled again. The same goes for the personnel. There are men, women, old and young. People from all walks of life have entered the City of Wasted Death. Then they were collected layer by layer into his hands.
Of course, among these people, the people on the ninth floor don't know who they are working for. They were just severely trained and then sent here. These people all have their own business of concealing their identities. Either a carpenter, a cook, an outlaw, or a has-been singer...
As there were more people, Tan Bin's pressure increased. Although he understood that the job of a spy was to dance on the edge of life and death, he still hoped to prevent his spies from dying.
If a spy is caught, he will die miserably. It is almost impossible to die happily.
So oftentimes spies are not afraid of death, but rather afraid of life being worse than death.
The three top spies I just mentioned died silently, and not even a body can be found to this day. The only thing that is certain is that they did not talk too much, because even if they wanted to, they had no choice.
Take one pill in the morning and one pill in the evening. If the time passes, you will die. The pills are placed separately by themselves. The top spies are determined to die. The only thing they are afraid of is that they cannot withstand the torture. Once captured, they can still resist for most of the day, and after that, there is no need to worry.
There is really no other way, so it will be exposed piece by piece. Unless it is a regional intelligence leader like Tan Bin, Blackwater cannot be involved, let alone Black Flag Camp.
In fact, Heishui has been researching a fatal poison that can be embedded in the back molar teeth to give spies to prevent accidents, but the safety is always a little bit worse. It is said that Master Shen has given a death order to get it out before the end of this year. If only that kind of medicine were available, the spies would suffer less.
Including Tan Bin himself, he also took medicine in this way.
Although the days are trembling, there are still gains, and as the carriages and horses take root in the city of Fusei, coupled with the new generation of sky eyes in the Gemei air conditioner, the collected intelligence has gradually begun to be mastered independently, and is no longer You can only rely on informants to spend money to buy it.
For example, the Zhengyang Sect, which is the focus of intelligence, although this sect of pseudo-evil monks is inconspicuous in the city of Wansi, it is definitely not simple. Tan Bin's spies spent a lot of effort and thought to get in touch with these people. Although the information collected is superficial, it can be considered as progress, and it has confirmed the authenticity of a lot of information.
For example, Zhengyang Sect would regularly take away a group of slaves, all of whom were young children or half-grown children. Most of these children were kidnapped from the Jingjiu Dynasty. The people who did this were human traffickers from the Jingji Dynasty. Although there were casual cultivators involved, most of them were ordinary ordinary people.
However, the Jingjiu Dynasty has always strictly controlled human trafficking. No one except Yahang can do this. If found, they will be beheaded. There is no other punishment. Regardless of vehicles or boats, anyone traveling with children or women must check road signs and documents to prove their identity, otherwise they will inevitably be taken into custody.
Therefore, the children taken away by the Zhengyang Sect were themselves involved in a human trafficking network that spread throughout the Jingji Dynasty. If you dig deeper, it will definitely be another major case.
In fact, the investigation of this case has already begun, starting from the channels through which these children entered Wushou City, and going back to investigate. At the same time, the inspection intensity of the water gates in Weishui and Xiahe River has been strengthened.
As far as Tan Bin knows, Zhengyang Sect has not accepted children in large numbers for three months, only a few here and there.
And according to intelligence feedback, the Zhengyang Sect has become much more active than before after losing its source of children. Not only did they take the initiative to contact several illegal businessmen in the city, but they also expressed their willingness to the retail traders who usually looked down upon them. As long as they were under the age of fifteen, both men and women wanted them, and the price increased by 50%.
The so-called "black merchants" are actually of the same nature as the black market in the old Jing Dynasty, except that the black merchants can buy and sell far more things than the black market in the old Jing Dynasty, and they can accept more commissions. There is no lower limit, as long as you can give them. Starting price.
There are rumors that there are three leaders behind the black businessmen who are secretly supporting them, otherwise they would have been swallowed up long ago.
Compared with the mysterious and powerful black businessmen, the salesmen who walk around the streets of Wusi City are much inferior. It is not an exaggeration to say that they just pick up some scraps that the black businessmen do not want. Moreover, there is no guarantee in dealing with peddlers. There are even scammers who specialize in deceiving people and pretend to be peddlers.
Of course, people who can contact black merchants and can afford the price of black merchants will not go to the salesman. Generally, people who find a salesman have no choice but to gamble on luck.
The Zhengyang Sect is the latter. They are also gambling on luck, hoping to receive another group of children in need from any source.
No one knew why the Zhengyang Sect wanted so many children, and no one asked. But everyone knew that these children who entered the Zhengyang Sect were like animals entering the slaughterhouse, and their fate was already destined.
In addition, Zhengyang Sect usually collects far more than just children, but also a large number of medicinal materials, in large quantities and frequently. But no finished elixir has ever flowed out of the Zhengyang Sect.
In fact, before paying attention to the Zhengyang Sect, the second-level dealers or informants in the entire city who were also looking for intelligence did not pay much attention to the Zhengyang Sect. Because although this sect has a mysterious origin, its presence in the city of Fusui is really very low. Not to cause conflicts with others, nor to get too close to other forces.
But when Tan Bin began to mobilize people to slowly and intentionally observe the Zhengyang Sect, he discovered that the Zhengyang Sect was not a low-key sect. They just always dispersed their actions and looked less attractive. Just pay attention.
Let's not go too far, just say that these medicinal materials that can only be taken in but not taken out are full of questionable doubts.
Where do the medicinal materials come from? If the elixir is made, the Zhengyang Sect will not be able to use it all. Where will the rest of the elixir go? Or could it be that these medicinal materials just passed through the hands of Zhengyang Sect and had other places to go later?
Also, many of the medicinal materials purchased by the Zhengyang Sect are not cheap, and are even precious medicinal materials. Where does the Zhengyang Sect get such a large amount of money?
Combined with the recent intelligence mission assigned to Tan Bin, he felt that he should have gotten a very important message.
However, it is a pity that the internal situation of Zhengyang Sect is still unknown, and even informants cannot have a deep understanding. It takes time to brew, and it also needs an opportunity.
"Perhaps, you can change your mind..."
