Chapter 300 The old Taoist takes action
“Now, it’s time to enable your network.”
"What does the prince mean?"
Wu Sansi took out a stack of things from his arms. Zhou Yong saw that it turned out to be several copper tokens.
All in half, in the shape of a dragon.
Although Zhou Yong was smart, this time, before Wu Sansi spoke, he could not guess his true intention.
"Recently, how are you in relationship with those old ministers?"
"Reporting to the prince, it's pretty good. Since His Majesty went to Chang'an, all the old ministers have been idle. In addition to handling official duties in the court, they often eat wine and have fun and chat and gather together for the rest of their time."
"The officials judge that if the prince takes any action, now is the best time to start. While everyone is relaxed, we can make many arrangements without realizing it."
"This is for you," Wu Sansi gave Zhou Yong the copper tokens and instructed: "Find an opportunity to put this token in the old minister's home. Be careful, you must hide the tokens in difficult places, put one in each family, and when the time is ripe, they will come in handy."
After following Wu Sansi for many years, Zhou Yong understood very well that not everything was sufficient. Just like now, he observed Wu Sansi's expression and speculated that he didn't want to tell him about it now.
Since this is the case, he would not talk too much, which would make Wu Sansi bored.
"I will accept the order and I will definitely get things done!" He made a commitment. Judging from Wu Sansi's expression, he still trusted Zhou Yong's ability to do things very much.
However, will things really go as smoothly as they thought?
Don’t forget that this court is no longer the same as before. Many people and many things are changing. Although the changes are subtle, water drops through stones and ropes cut off. One day, the situation will reverse a lot.
Tang Dayan was sent to Guiyifang, and Luo Yi followed the prince to Chang'an. The main figures in the unknown wine shop were basically dispersed.
Only Du Rao, who was exploring information, and his boss Wumingzi stayed in the winery and were bored.
Of course, they are now the prince's capable generals, and even if they do not have a clear assignment, they cannot be idle themselves.
Du Rao was a quiz. There was no one he didn't know in the street markets in Luoyang and Chang'an, and there was no one he couldn't find out about.
It seems that he is wandering around the street every day, and he spends a lot of money without a goal, but Wumingzi knows that this is how he works, because he seems to be idle and wandering, and I don’t know how much information he has obtained.
On the side of Tang Dayan, since Zhou Yun was beaten to death by Shatuo, no gangsters have come to cause trouble for a long time.
Dayan and Chen Fang discussed that since this is the case, they are not in a hurry to investigate the identity of the assassin. The two divided the work and cooperated with the goal of ensuring the safety of Shatuo.
At least before the prince returns to Luoyang, he must make the Shatuo complete.
He kept sending news back to the restaurant, and Wumingzi confirmed the safety of Shatuo and no longer worried about Guiyifang.
However, the news from Du Rao made him even more worried.
That day, he was wandering around the street and walking into a teahouse for a while. He saw a man who looked like a servant suddenly stood up and walked towards him. Before he could even get along, the man hurriedly walked past his table.
Du Rao looked down and saw a small note falling to the ground.
He picked it up immediately and saw a few big words written on it: Du Rao went to Qingli Temple.
this……
He repeatedly recalled the appearance of the servant, and did not look like a person setting up a stall in the street market. Qingliguan is the residence of Wu Yanzong. It is said that his father Wu Youxu has gone down the mountain now.
So, was this news brought to him by Wu Youxu?
Could it be a trap?
Why did he know his name?
You know, although he wanders around the street every day, all available are pseudonyms such as cats and dogs, and even Du Rao's name is a fake, but it is finally a name he often uses between nobles and relatives, and few people know it.
It seems that Wu Yanzong revealed the news to his father.
He weighed the pros and cons of the matter, but finally decided to go to Qingli to take a look.
Without further ado, he rushed to Qingliguan and knocked on the gate of the yard and saw the servant who was sweeping the floor in the yard.
And the head of the family here, Wu Youxu, was slowly walking over from the backyard.
He stroked his beard and his originally innocent round face actually showed a sense of being a master.
"Brother Du, please come in."
Du Rao has also seen the world, so of course he would not be afraid that he, an old Taoist priest, would come to the main hall of the Taoist temple to sit upright.
In the scented fragrance, Du Rao first spoke: "How did you know my name?"
"You are asking questions knowingly!"
"Of course it was Yanzong who told me, don't worry, this was approved by the prince."
"This is also a helpless move. If you hadn't stored so much gunpowder in the Taoist temple, I wouldn't have gone down the mountain."
"These things cannot be left like this, they must be taken care of. Yanzong followed the prince to Chang'an again, but I am just a Taoist priest, and I have no position or power in the court, and I have no power. If I have any accidents, I will always have a helper."
"That's why Yanzong asked the prince to tell me your identity."
Wu Youxu's words were reasonable and had a natural expression, and he probably didn't seem to be lying, but since that's the case, he didn't know anything about it.
Is it because the prince did not explain to Wumingzi, or did Wumingzi find it troublesome and didn’t explain it clearly to everyone?
These questions lingered in his mind, and within a moment, he regained his confidence.
These are all trivial matters, and Wu Youxu has taken action, which shows that there is something wrong with the gunpowder.
"Wu Sansi has found these gunpowder, you have to find a way to transfer them away quickly."
Du Rao's face showed a shocked look, and Wu Youxu continued to explain slowly: "You know the boss of Bowan Pavilion, named Yan Youdao."
"I know, isn't he a lieutenant of Wu Sansi?"
Although Yan Youdao has been trying hard to hide his movements, Du Rao is just a person who works on intelligence, and any subtle changes cannot escape his eyes.
He had already discovered the unspeakable relationship between Yan Youdao and Wu Sansi, but he did not expect that this guy would contact Wu Youxu again.
"It's not simple, you even know this."
After hearing Du Rao's answer, Wu Youxu couldn't help but admire him. Yan Youdao has been buried deeply for many years.
Even he himself realized his relationship with Wu Sansi inadvertently.
As an outsider, Du Rao can master it so accurately.
