The newly replaced Tianzi C room was clean, with evergreen pyracantha bonsai in winter, and the bedding was replaced with silk noodles. The table was decorated with melon seeds, candied fruits, jujubes, desserts, and even charcoal pots.

Two came.

Xiaoman looked at Xiaowu and Xiaoliu for a long time and pointed to the charcoal basin and said, "A charcoal basin in the house is enough. We don't pay for the extra one!"

Xiaowu quickly bent down and smiled, "I just frightened all the guests. The shopkeeper felt extremely guilty. He specially told the villain to prepare these for you to apologize. Not only that, you will also be exempted from your future housing payment. You can live as long as you want.

How long should I stay?"

Zhang Zheng grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and wondered while kowtowing: "Don't your inn make money? How can you clean up such a money-losing business?"

Xiao Wu looked bitter: "The villain doesn't want to do a business that loses money. Who knows what crazy these Jing Chaos spies have done?"

Chen Ji's heart moved, leaned against the window frame, holding a whale knife in his arms, and asked casually: "You knew early in the morning that the madam Hongxiuzhao was a spy Jing Chao or had just discovered it? Can you tell me?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Xia took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the Eight Immortals table.

Xiaowu waved his hand quickly: "No, no, the shopkeeper just explained that whenever you have any problems, the villain knows everything, and there is no need to give money!"

Chen Ji and Zhang Xia looked at each other and said that Xiao Wu had to give silver to the afternoon before he could tell the news.

But Xiao Wu explained: "This Hongxiuzhao has always been a thief's nest for Jingchao. The caravans from Jingchao in the north came by Yinchuan and went to Guyuan to rest in Hongxiuzhao. Those caravans seemed to be prostitutes, but in fact they were

Exchange intelligence.”

Chen Ji said curiously: "How did you know?"

Xiao Wu said proudly: "Look at what the guest official said, when can this Guyuan secret be hidden from my Longmen Inn?"

Chen Ji was puzzled: "You are just a place to provide transaction information and have not participated in the news transaction. Those people buy and sell news without your hands."

Xiao Wushen said mysteriously: "The guest officer doesn't know anything. There is a big urn buried under the floor of our inn. People sit in the urn. The guests in the main hall can hear clearly no matter how small the voices they speak."

Chen Ji knew that this craft of listening to the urn is generally used in the military.

The city defense army covered a large urn with a thin layer of cowhide under the city wall, and the soldiers sat in the urn to hear the sound of horse hooves twenty kilometers away.

Someone buried the big urn next to the Gentile envoys, and found a blind man with great hearing to sit in it, and wrote down the content of the Gentile envoys' conversation.

Unexpectedly, there is also this thing underground in Longmen Inn, and I listened to all the news about the transaction.

However, Chen Ji looked at Xiao Wu with a complicated expression, and his doubts were extremely strong: Can you tell him such a secret? He is just a guest.

Xiao Wu didn't notice Chen Ji's expression and said to himself: "What kind of information customers like to ask about, you can infer what his identity is from the side. Merchants buy news for business, and only a few people will pay attention to the border army.

We all remember these people in secret.”

Chen Ji suddenly asked, "Who has ever inquired about military information?"

Xiao Wu put a white rag on his shoulder and calculated with his fingers: "The young man from the Nanluofang Liuli Shop, the shopkeeper of Yangji Fur on Duohun Street, Luoshifang, and the madam who was Hongxiuzhao...

Official, do you have anything else to ask? If not, Xiaoliu and I will go out, and the shopkeeper also explained what happened to each other."

Chen Ji bowed and said, "Thank you, I have nothing else to ask for now."

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu left the room number C, carefully closed the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Liu muttered beside him, "What's the crazy thing about the shopkeeper? Isn't he just a concubine from a fourth-rank official? Why do we rush to curry favor with him?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly patted him on the back of the head: "Do whatever you want, do more and ask less!"

In the room, Chen Ji walked silently to the door and confirmed Xiao Wu against the door. Xiao Liu went downstairs, then turned around and asked Zhang Xia, "Do you think they told the truth?"

Zhang Xia sat at the Eight Immortals table, playing with the silver ingots that had not been given just now: "They don't seem to have a reason to lie to us... It's strange, how can we even tell us about the urn hidden underground? This is all about

What if we tell this matter, who will come to the inn to buy and sell the inn? I’m afraid that only the shopkeeper and the owner can know about it?”

Zhang Zheng lay on the floor carelessly, crossing his legs: "I used to have a basin of hot water for a long time, but I turned my head so attentive that it was scary... Why are you arrogant at first and respectful at the same time? Will you have other intentions? We can do it

Be careful, don’t let this black shop slaughter it!”

Zhang Xia was thinking: "You guys, could it be that Mr. Hu San who said hello to the inn and the shopkeeper sold his face?"

Zhang Zheng turned around and lay on his side, supporting his head with his hands: "But where is that third master from? He helped him as a tutor for no reason?"

"He must have come for Chen Ji," Zhang Xia analyzed seriously: "According to what the clerk said, Hu Junyuan, Hu Sanye was once a lieutenant under General Wen Tao. Later, he left Guyuan and followed a big man... Border Army lieutenant...

The general is a fourth-rank official, and he is higher than Lord Chen’s official position. What kind of person is worthy of his resignation?”

Zhang Zheng sat up, his eyes shining and guessed: "Will he be secretly protecting General Wen Tao's orphan over the years? Just like in the story book of Mr. Storytelling, the general entrusts his orphans, his subordinates hide their names and protect their own loyalty and courage.

, the liver and brain are trampled on the ground?"

Zhang Xia shook his head: "General Wen Tao has not married, how can he be orphan?"

Zhang Zheng said happily: "Who can tell me this is right? We don't know how many illegitimate children our father has outside."

Zhang Xia glared at him: "You shouldn't be honest with our father."

Zhang Zheng curled his lips: "He still has innocence?"

Zhang Xia thought for a while: "That's right."

Chen Ji: "..."

Xiaoman: "..."

Zhang Xia turned back to the topic: "No matter what, the person Hu Sanye is following must be related to General Wen Tao. Maybe we can figure out who the big man behind him is, and we will know the reason why he helped Chen Ji."

Chen Ji nodded: "I'll go inquire about General Wen Tao's rumors these days..."

Just now, the sound of wailing sounds from the red sleeves next door suddenly came from the sound of running around, and the sound of tables and chairs falling, endlessly.

Everyone in the room looked at each other and came to the window.

Chen Ji opened a crack in the window, and the four of them looked out, but they could not see anything.

After two incense sticks, the movements in Hongxiuzhao stopped, but saw Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and other inn staff carrying a body and walked into the yard cursing.

Under the moonlight, everyone in the inn was carrying a kitchen knife and covered in blood.

There was still blood dripping from the tip of the kitchen knife. Xiao Wu shook the kitchen knife in his hand, wiped it on his arm, and ordered: "Xiao Liu, give everyone a whole bowl of hot soup."

While talking, Xiao Wu turned to the third floor and looked at Chen Ji hurriedly pulled everyone back. Then, Xiao Wu led the guys to carry the bodies and crawled into the stable and disappeared.

Zhang Zheng was shocked and asked in a low voice: "This Longmen Inn really came to the door and killed Hongxiu?"

Chen Ji pondered for a moment: "You can rest early, I'll go to Dusi Mansion."

...

...

It was late at night, and no more powerful men were seen in Guyuan City, chopping and chopping. Chen Ji rode his horse and saw only the endless braziers burning on the distant city walls, and there were teams of halberds behind the walls.

The border soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

He came to the Dusi Mansion to dismount, but found that the Dusi Mansion's garrison had been replaced by the Yulin Army. More than 20 Yulin Army soldiers pressed their long swords at their waists, and the soldiers of the border army had gone where they went.

Chen Ji walked near with the reins and said loudly: "Dear generals, please tell me all the troubles. I have something important to report to His Highness the Prince."

A Yulin Army came out and sneered: "What are you here to do?"

When Chen Ji looked at it, he was very careful about the rotation.

He clasped his fists and repeated, "General Qi, please help me and report it to His Royal Highness the Prince if you have important matters."

Qi Jingji raised his head arrogantly, and the white pheasant tail on his helmet shook slightly: "Why, I want to deceive Your Highness and then sell it for money with your Highness's news? Chen Ji, I would like to advise you, just make this kind of money once,

Don't be fools all of you."

Chen Ji put down his hands calmly: "General Qi is probably a misunderstanding, there is really something very important to me."

Qi Jingjing waved his hand impatiently: "Now Jing Chaotiance army has arrived ten miles outside the city, and we have no time to deal with you. Your Highness has learned that you are selling him at Longmen Inn. It was Lord Chen who ordered you to

I will not be allowed to enter Dusi Mansion again in the future, so leave quickly.”

All of you continued, "Actually, Lord Chen is also for your own good. You are saying that the news of your prince is big, and that it is small, and whether to cut your head or not is all in your mind. This time, I will forget it, if I continue

Next time, be careful of the head on your neck.”

Chen Ji was silent for a moment, turned over and walked backwards.

At this moment, Qi Jing shook his eyes: "Wait."

Chen Ji looked back and said, "What else does General Qi have to give?"

He carefully used his little finger to clean his ears, and said lazyly, pretending to be indifferent, "You must not be able to enter the Dusi Mansion, but if you have any important matters, you can tell me, and I will report to Your Highness on your behalf."

Chen Ji sat on the horse and thought for a moment, and finally said, "The Hongxiuzhao on Kucha Street was opened by the thieves of Jingchao. It is a stronghold dedicated to conveying information for the Jingchao."

After saying that, he rode his horse and left.

Looking at Chen Ji's back as he walked away, his eyes were bright and bright.

He whispered to the Yulin Army on both sides and left and right, "You are here to be on duty, I will report the news to Your Highness! Remember, this is the news I found from the informant in the market, not sent by that boy Chen Ji...

I have made contributions and will never treat you unfairly."

The Yulin soldiers looked at each other.

All raised their eyebrows: "Why, are you willing to be stolen by that kid?"

Yu Linjun hurriedly clasped his fists: "If Your Highness asks, I will follow what you told me."
