"Are you trying to say that when he left Jiapingguan City and went south, he pretended to board a ship and leave, which was a deception?"
"Of course, you don't want to think about it, how long does it take for him to come back and forth? How long have we banned the sea? If he really left at that time, how did he come back?"
"Indeed, even if there is no sea ban, if he wants to come back, he still has a narrow escape. If he is not so lucky, he may die at sea."
"That's what I mean." Xue Ruitian chuckled, "If he really boarded the ship, he would not be sure whether he would live or die. How could he still be alive and well, right? But..." He looked at Ying Wu, and then Look at Jin Jing, "When you saw him in Xijing, what was he doing?"
"He didn't do anything. He is familiar with the people in every shop. Each shop has what he wants and what he wants to sell." Ying Wu thought for a while, "The two of us just think this person looks good. Unlike other Hu people, I just noticed him, but I really don’t know what he does." He looked at Jin Jing, "However, we didn't find out whether he has his own shop, right?"
"Yes." Jin Jing nodded, "We followed him for a while, but we only saw him wandering around the street and didn't see him going to any shop. Later, it was because Xiaobai sent someone to find us at the school ground. We didn't continue to follow him. Later, we were busy preparing to come back and didn't follow this line anymore. However, we have told Xiaobai to pay special attention to the area where the barbarians gather."
"There is no shop and there is nothing special. Many Hu merchants do not have shops. They prefer to walk around the streets." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "This Lang Jisi, in all likelihood, specializes in inquiring and selling. News business, selling other in-demand goods."
"But such people, whether it is Daxia, Liao or Jin, are all made by someone." Xue Ruitian frowned slightly, "He is not familiar with the place. He will easily be rejected by his peers if he does this, right?"
"Actually, it is beneficial. After all, people from Daxia, Jin, and Liao can easily attract the attention of others if they work in this business. If they are Hu people, having the identity of Hu Shang is a good cover. Also One thing is that we have never paid much attention to the Hu people, and we are not very vigilant. It is easy for them to get things out of us."
"It's the same principle. It mainly depends on the background of the customers who patronize him, right? What kind of content are they inquiring about, right?" Xue Ruitian yawned and looked carefully at Lang Jisi and Lang Si. "Hey, the more I look at these two paintings, the more..." He looked at the other people, "Do you think these two people have a little bit of a resemblance to each other?"
"Although they don't look alike in some ways, their outlines and facial features are still similar." Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian, "Are these two people related by blood?"
"It's very possible." Shen Haolin picked up the two portraits on the table and looked at them again, "If they are brothers, if the two of them are connected, then this matter will be interesting. One is making suggestions beside Wanyan Qingmu, One person is inquiring about information in Xijing City, and both parties are cooperating inside and outside, what do they want to do?"
"Is it driven by profit, or does it have ulterior motives?" Shen Cha looked at Ying Wu, "Go, tell Thirteen and go to the study in the evening. We have something to tell him."
Ying Wu agreed and nodded towards Shen Cha, knowing in his heart that their boss would probably go to Xijing City on Thirteenth to explain to Commander Bai Meng and Prince Dai to keep an eye on the gathering area of the barbarians. Not sure, I have to go to the palace to see the emperor once and tell the emperor what I have gathered.
"Okay, let's put the matter of Lang Si aside for now." Shen Tea nodded at Lang Si's portrait, "Let's talk about him."
"What do you want to know, young lady?"
"What did he do around Wanyan Qingmu and how long did he stay with him?" Shen Cha motioned for everyone to sit back and stop crowding around her. It was difficult for her to breathe. "In addition to what he said before, he is responsible for Wanyan Qingmu's weapons, what else is he responsible for, and what is the specific situation."
"The first time Langster appeared next to Wanyan Qingmu was three or four years ago as Hu Shang. However, the first person he saw was not Wanyan Qingmu, but Wanyan and Wen. He He wanted to persuade Wanyan and Wen to let the palace do business with him, and to build a stable business relationship with the palace. Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Wanyan and Wen didn't get along with him at all. They met politely once and then We never saw him again. In addition, during that period, Wanyan and Wen were not in particularly good condition, and they did not have enough energy to deal with him. As a result, Wanyan and Wen did not see him and passed it on to Wanyan Qingmu. , this gives Wanyan Aoki a chance."
"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "Continue."
"The two of them hit it off right away. Each had their own thoughts, each had their own agendas, and each got what they needed, so they came together. This cooperation lasted for several years. During this period, Langster finished his work. Yan Qingmu modified many good weapons, including the firearms that the eldest lady mentioned before. Otherwise, even if Wanyan Qingmu was the prince of the palace, he would not have been able to quietly find so much gunpowder buried in the tunnels of Yiqing Mansion. "
"With a person like this by his side, it is not difficult to find a large amount of gunpowder."
"Yes, and he has a good relationship with Zhun Tugu. The two of them can always get together and chat." He shopkeeper sighed, "Since they left Yiqing Mansion, the relationship between the two has become even better. .Although Zhun Tugu rarely went to the big account to meet Wanyan Qingmu, his words were basically conveyed to Wanyan Qingmu by Langster."
"It's really strange that these two people can get together and hit it off so well..." Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "It's strange. Did Zhun Tugu have a relationship with Langster when he was doing private salt and tea business? "
"I don't know about that." Shopkeeper He shook his head slightly, "The little people noticed that they had an intersection after Wanyan Qingmu surrounded Yiqing Mansion."
"It's not important anymore." Shen Cha waved his hand, "Aside from being responsible for Wanyan Qingmu's gunpowder and weapons, and colluding with Zhun Tugu, is there anything else special about him?"
"What else is special?" He and the shopkeeper thought for a while, "There is really one thing, but it's weird now that I think about it."
"What's up?"
"On the 17th and 27th of every month, he would close the door and say no to guests, hiding in his tent and not coming out. He also warned other people not to go near his tent, especially after dark, otherwise they would encounter something unpleasant. You are responsible for whatever you should encounter, what you see that you should not see, and any serious consequences that may occur."
