Shen Cha was wrapped in a thick blanket, yawning and looking at the confession in his hand with an unusually serious expression.
The hawker who sells fried crispy rice is called Yu Qi. He is the youngest child in the family. Because he is the seventh child, he has such an easy-to-remember name.
Yu Qi also has six sisters. When he was sensible, they had all married away from home, and they were rarely seen. Apart from giving gifts according to the rules during holidays, there was no more contact with them.
Counting five generations back from his generation, the Yu family are all natives of Xijing. It is no longer clear what they did for a living. From the generation of Yu Qi’s grandfather, they have been making fried crispy rice for a living. It is now a craft passed down from ancestors and has established a foothold in the food street.
However, these are all identities on the surface. From the very beginning, the Yu family's stay in Xijing has been a hidden stake laid by the Tantai family. Every generation of men shoulders the same responsibilities, and they are looking forward to being mastered during the long wait. The awakening of home.
"The Tantai family has done a good job. In a situation like the Yu family, they can not only wander around the market and find out information, but also provide certain assistance to their own people at critical moments."
"A helping hand?" Jin Miaomiao was puzzled. "Don't they have a clear division of labor among themselves? Can assassinations be their turn?"
"Miaomiao, what you said is wrong. The clear division of labor only means that when they were still prosperous and had sufficient manpower, since the Tantai family fell and the Black Armor Camp was disbanded, except for a few key core figures, In addition, the strict hierarchy has long been broken. In addition, after the Liang Kingdom was destroyed, no one bought the Tantai family's account. By the time they regained their strength, many vicissitudes of life had already passed outside. Who still remembers their glory?" Bai Meng sneered, picked up a duck tongue and took a bite, "However, the Yu family is so loyal, and there are still some people who are still waiting for the master's family. They have experienced Tantai. The ones with the deepest family favor are not the ones we caught in the palace and recruited casually." He raised his chin towards Shen Cha, "The marks we found are actually different from those on the wrists of those in the palace. .”
"It turns out it's really different." Shen Cha nodded, "I just said it looks a bit awkward, but I can't tell what's wrong."
"Your feeling is right. There is indeed a difference. According to Yu Qi, the overall pattern is basically the same, but if you look carefully, there are still very subtle differences. This difference is not visible to laymen like us. If they don’t come out, their own people will be able to understand it at a glance.”
"Does Yu Qi have the nerve to talk about one of their own? From my point of view, his bones are not as strong as those of those casually recruited!" Shen Cha sneered and gently shook the paper in his hand, " You surrendered one of your own so easily, do you not plan to receive the Tantai family's reward?"
"Well..." Bai Meng sighed and glanced at Shen Cha, "You really can't blame him for his light bones. Your Dai Yi's lethality is too strong!"
"Oh? Oh!" Shen Cha nodded clearly, "Dai's martial arts gym and escort agency are near that food street. Dai Yi was also a well-known gangster in Beijing before he joined the army. Yu Qi must have heard of it. His name and his person.”
"It's not just about knowing someone and hearing his name." Bai Meng waved his hand towards Shen Cha, "And Dai Yi is no ordinary gangster either. He has his name in the Forbidden Army, the Patrol Camp and the Five Cities Military and Horse Department. How can my son be ordinary?"
"Commander, I'm not here to protect you. Dai Yi does have a lot of problems and is indeed a bit arrogant, but I don't believe him when he says he bullies the market and bullies men and women." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "So, you... What does "uncommon" mean?"
"Hey, Xiaocha, you misunderstood me. What I said is extraordinary, but that's not what I meant." Bai Meng finished chewing the first duck tongue, then picked up another wing and gnawed it, "Dai Yi, if you said that That way, when I see him for the first time in Jiapingguan City, I will tell you that there is something wrong with this person."
"Don't worry, listen to what the Commander-in-Chief has to say!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha and hugged her into his arms, "She got up a little violently just now and may not be feeling well. Xiaobai, don't take it personally. go. "
"We don't talk about this among ourselves. If Xiaocha feels uncomfortable and wants to beat me up, that's fine with me." Bai Meng used her elbow to punch Jin Miaomiao, "Excuse me, can you help me pour a cup of tea? It's too salty." He took two sips of tea, rinsed his mouth, and explained to Shen Cha, "Dai Yi is a very loyal guy. Before he went to Jiaping Pass City, he was quite able to get along on the streets. Because his family owns a martial arts gym and an escort bureau, he is always surrounded by a group of brothers who can fight. If he sees any injustice, he will rush to take care of it. No matter how big or small it is, he will not mind it. As you know Yu Qi has been selling fried crispy rice in the food street, and the income is not bad. Some people are jealous and hire a few gangsters to go to his stall to cause trouble. It is a coincidence that on the day when the gangsters caused trouble, Dai Yi was in the restaurant. I bought braised pork knuckle for his father on the street. His father is not good at other things, but this braised pork knuckle from Zhouji." He pointed to the oil paper bag in front of him, "It's from this place. Anyway, I didn't taste better. What’s so good about other braised dishes is that they’re really salty.”
"Zhou Ji...is right opposite Yu Qi's stall, right?" Seeing Bai Meng nod, Shen Cha twitched the corner of her mouth, "Dai Yi saved Yu Qi?"
"No, if Dai Yi hadn't saved him, he would have burned out a year earlier and turned into what he is today." Bai Meng sighed, "Yu Qi regards Dai Yi as a benefactor. You said that once this benefactor came forward, and What is it that he refuses to say!"
"That's true, Dai Yi... from another aspect can be said to be the reborn parents of the Yu family. Otherwise, let alone spying on the Tantai family, the family would have been ruined long ago!" Jin Miaomiao yawned, " What's more, the Yu family is self-reliant, and the Tantai family and Heijia camp don't give them any money, and they always boss them around. Even the most loyal ones will be dissatisfied. Yu Qi's choice, well, is correct. "
"Thankfully he said it, otherwise we wouldn't know that besides him, there are at least twenty hidden piles buried in Xijing. They usually don't contact each other or meet each other, and even if they send news, they have a very special way. The method is to only conduct interviews in extremely urgent situations." Bai Meng sighed heavily, "I have sent people to arrest the people on this list to prevent them from running away after receiving any information."
"Well done. No matter if he is real or not, catch him first. I would rather catch the wrong one than let him go." Shen Cha rubbed Shen Haolin's shoulder twice and found a comfortable position to nestle in. "These people have lived in Xijing for generations, and their mission is to inquire about information. From this, it can be concluded that the things that have happened in Xijing recently... well, at least within the past fifty years are the same as those of them and those who have not yet shown up. They have the same responsibility. It is related to the responsible spies, which can also explain why the Tantai family and the Black Armor Battalion know everything about Beijing."
"I have to admit that the people in the Tantai family have very good brains." Bai Meng smiled bitterly, "Look at how well they arrange hidden stakes. They take care of all the basic necessities, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Many of them are from Xijing. It’s a time-honored brand that has close relationships and contacts with various mansions in Beijing.”
"This will make it easier for people to accept it, and it will be more convenient to find out the information." Shen Cha picked up the pieces of paper, looked over them a few times, then raised his head to look at Shen Haolin, and then at Jin Miaomiao , a smirk appeared on his face. "What do you think about sending this confession to the old general Xuanyuan's house? Finally, we have made some progress, which makes him happy."
Shen Haolin reached out and pinched her face, sighed helplessly and said, "Are you trying to make him happy, or are you going to test her?"
"Xiaocha, I don't think your idea is right. That would be too..."
"I don't think so either, but I still want to try it and see his reaction."
