Chapter 31
It is by no means a coincidence.
A barrage of bizarre and fantastical books, along with anecdotes and tales of strange and fantastical things, came crashing down on him. Pei Lingjun had barely steadied himself when the boy approached him, asking, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Have you said this to anyone else? Or to me?
Zhu Zijin was completely baffled. "How could that be? I just arrived in Anyang and just met my uncle!"
It's not fake.
Those things were less like dreams and more like traceable memories.
Only memories can endure in the mind.
It's not a dream...
"You can stay in Anyang for now. I will find you a suitable identity. Before that, do not make any rash moves."
After giving these instructions, Pei Lingjun left on his own.
Zhu Zijin opened his mouth and said disappointedly, "Didn't you say you'd take me to the inn?"
As soon as Pei Lingjun returned to the Wen residence, Cui Pei jumped down from the wall and rushed forward, "My lord! I've found out."
Before Pei Lingjun could speak, Cui Pei said directly, "I went to Baihe Restaurant and asked around. They said that someone was asking the manager about you yesterday. When I heard that, I realized that the manager of Baihe Restaurant is a spy for the Xiaolong Guard. If someone can ask him about you, they must be one of our people. Maybe those two have also entered the city."
“Perhaps it’s not them.” Pei Lingjun glanced at him. “Zhu Zijin has come to Anyang.”
"ah?"
Cui Pei was surprised for a moment, but then felt that this was very much in line with Zhu Zijin's style of doing things, and laughed twice: "I knew it, how could the young master be willing to stay in Jijing?"
Pei Lingjun shook his head. "He doesn't have many people around him. Go to Baihe Restaurant and find two people to protect him secretly."
"yes!"
The young man stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent. "How's the investigation into the Wen family going?"
Cui Pei's expression immediately turned dejected. "Wen Tao is too wary. Most of those 'dirty deeds' are done in the government offices. We can't investigate openly, so it's really not easy to find any useful clues."
Pei Lingjun changed the subject, "How many guards are there in the government office?"
Judging from their years of close cooperation and life-or-death situations within the SWAT team, this person was definitely planning to sneak into the government office at night.
“Anyang Prefecture has been peaceful for many years. The guards in this government office are strong during the day, about three groups of people. As for the night, there should only be two groups of people.”
The fewer the staff members on duty, the weaker the security.
Pei Lingjun nodded and immediately instructed, "Go and take a look tonight, and prepare the necessary items."
Cui Pei, who was always diligent about nighttime missions, immediately replied, "Understood!"
——
The third quarter of the hour of You (5-7 PM).
After a busy day, Wen Tao finally came out of the government office, looked at the setting sun, and rubbed his temples wearily.
The call of two white doves, growing louder as they approached, brought Wen Tao's attention back to the city.
Upon hearing the sound, the subordinate in the room went to retrieve the white dove, took the envelope, and presented it to Wen Tao with both hands. "Sir, a letter has arrived from Jijing."
