Chapter 236: The spy in the court was caught
Although it was only a short sentence, the amount of information was so large that Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping were stunned for a long time.
Chu Xianping used his internal energy to wipe out the small words on the table. He frowned, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of the news.
Wei Changtian was also thinking about the same question at this time.
First of all, since the information came from Tongzhouhui, the person who delivered the message must have taken Puppet Pill, so there would be no case of deliberately spreading false information.
Unless someone is deliberately setting this up . This trick of luring spies to show up is not uncommon, and the Xuanjing Division is very good at it.
But since it's a setup, you must first have a suspect.
I haven't issued any instructions to Tongzhouhui yet, so logically speaking, no one should be exposed.
And since Tongzhouhui has not been exposed, there is only one last possibility left -
There are other spies in the court, or around Ning Yongnian.
If we consider the interests associated with this piece of information, there is no doubt that it is a spy from the Xu family.
Of course, all this is just speculation.
It is also possible that there is no so-called "bureau" at all, and it is just that someone in a high position in Tongzhouhui got this "top secret" from some channel ."
You could hear a pin drop in the room. There was a small pile of fine sawdust scattered on the table, and a faint woody scent lingered around your nose.
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and asked Chu Xianping: "Brother Chu, what do you think about this matter?"
“It should be true”
Chu Xianping frowned and nodded, holding the piece of mother-and-child jade in his hand: "I just don't know if there are other calculations."
"Yeah, just as I thought."
Wei Changtian waved his sleeves to sweep all the wood chips onto the ground, then sat down and drank some tea.
"Send a message to Tongzhouhui and ask them to keep an eye on the other people who also know about this and see if anything happens to them."
"Okay, I'll do it later."
Chu Xianping responded, his expression gradually becoming relaxed: "But no matter what, this is a good thing for us."
“It’s a good thing indeed”
Wei Changtian smiled.
"Just when I was worried that I didn't have enough chips, this one was delivered to my door."
Chou hour, Yao Tower, Pingchangfang, Beijing.
Ever since the Xu family rebelled, business in the brothels in Pingchangfang has not been as good as before.
It’s not because these prostitutes and their clients are so “concerned about the country and the people” and are so focused on national and family affairs that they have no intention of enjoying themselves.
The main reason for the decline in performance is the curfew system.
From Zi hour to Mao hour, no one is allowed to go out except in case of sudden illness, death or funeral.
Therefore, the guests of the brothel had to either leave before midnight or stay overnight in the brothel.
However, many men do not have such a "family status" as Wei Changtian. They usually visit brothels secretly, let alone stay out all night.
Therefore, it is normal that passenger flow has dropped sharply.
“.”
"Hey! Lord Xiang, you haven't been here for some time!"
In the hall decorated with colorful silks, an old procuress dressed in gorgeous clothes greeted a middle-aged man who had just walked in from outside with a big smile on her face.
It is now past midnight, and strictly speaking this person has violated the law.
However, given this gentleman's official position, no one would dare to say anything.
"Please sit down first and drink some wine to warm yourself up!"
"I'll go and ask Qin'er to get ready!"
"You guys! Serve Master Xiang well!"
After finally waiting for a sponsor, the madam would certainly not let him go.
She stretched out her hand to call a few girls to accompany the man to drink, and then she turned around and left quickly with a smile, probably to look for the man's "old lover".
"Master Xiang, I have recently learned some new skills in making love. Do you want to try them?"
"Yes, Lord Xiang~ Sister Qin'er just received a guest, please bypass her~"
"We sisters are no worse than Sister Qin'er~"
"Xing'er just learned a new song from Moonlight on the Spring River yesterday. Would you like to listen to it?"
“.”
Surrounded by beautiful girls, several of them are trying their best to "steal" his boyfriend.
If Wei Changtian were here at this moment, he would probably sigh, "This industry is also involuted," and then experience it happily.
However, the middle-aged man was obviously not in such a mood. While he was dealing with the group of women with a forced smile, he kept looking in the direction where the madam left.
It was not until the latter appeared and walked towards him again that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Xiang, Miss Qin'er has packed everything."
The madam smiled and said, "Do you want to go over now, or play with other girls for a while?"
"Take me there."
The man casually threw down a bag of silver, pushed away several charming women who were leaning on his arms, and slowly stood up.
"All right, sir, please come this way."
The madam walked in front, nodding and bowing, and the man followed behind, all the way to the door of an embroidery room on the second floor.
"Master Xiang, I will go down first. If you need anything, just call me." The madam lowered her head.
"Um."
The man nodded, not noticing the beads of sweat on the madam's forehead. He reached out, opened the door and walked in.
The embroidery room is very large and is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
I walked around a screen and entered the inner room. There was hot tea on the table, but strangely, there was no one around.
In an instant, the man felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
But at this moment, an old eunuch in a purple robe appeared from nowhere and looked at him with a fake smile.
"Eunuch Li"
"Haha, Lord Xiang, didn't you just discuss something with the Emperor?"
Li Huaizhong narrowed his eyes and took a step closer with a grim expression: "Why did you come to Yaolou so soon?"
"I, I"
The man was panicked at first, but soon calmed down.
He snorted coldly, and shouted in a timid tone: "Humph! Eunuch Li, do I need to inform you in advance before I visit a brothel?!"
"Of course that's not necessary."
Li Huaizhong bowed his hands lightly and said, "I am only following the order of the Emperor to take Lord Xiang back to the palace."
"Return to the palace?"
The man trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "Why are you going back to the palace?"
"Master Xiang, we don't know about this."
Li Huaizhong raised his head and looked at him, his eyes seemed to be somewhat sarcastic: "Perhaps you know better, sir?"
“.”
The cold night wind blew in from the window, and the laughter that had just been coming from outside the house had stopped at some point.
"call!"
Several candles in the room suddenly went out, and then two figures disappeared from the spot, crossing back and forth several times in the blink of an eye.
“Whoosh!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Crack!”
“.”
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion, and after a few breaths the room returned to silence.
The man who was only at the third level was no match for Li Huaizhong, whose hidden illness had been cured. After just three moves, the latter broke both of his arms and trampled him under his feet.
"Master Xiang, you are stupid."
Looking down at the man curled up on the ground in cold sweat, Li Huaizhong smiled softly and said, "Don't you think about how the Xu family can defeat the emperor?"
