Chapter 149 Regaining the Clues
"After tracking him all the way, we finally found out that he lived at No. 14, C, 7th Street, Taohuafang, in the South City.
He stayed in the house every day, or wandered around the South Market, or went to the streets to try to run into Princess Zhaoqing."
Feng Shenyu thought for a moment and asked, "Where did he get the money?"
“I haven’t seen him doing anything for a living, but there are always people looking for him, probably to give him money.
Every time that man left, he would go out to the South Market to buy things."
"What does that person look like?" Feng Shenyu continued to ask.
"He was tall, with high eyebrows and deep eyes, wearing a pointed hat, a beard, and yellowish hair, and dressed like a foreigner. Others called him Boss Man."
"Did you hear what they said?"
"Every time the two of them went into the house to talk, our people would sneak up on them and hear their conversations in very low voices, almost inaudible.
But there is one thing that is very strange: our people heard that his piano playing was very bad, but he frequently visited a music store. "
Li Huaiyu interrupted and asked, "Qianyin Pavilion?"
"Hey, Prince, look at what you said, where is the 'Thousand Sound Pavilion' in South City?
The store seems to be called 'Sound Domain'.
The boss is also a Hu person, who seems to be from Qiuci, and there are many different types of drums in the store."
"Have you checked the details of this store?" Li Huaiyu asked.
"I checked and found out that the owner of the house is a man named Chen Sheng, everyone calls him Chen Silang, and he is a native of Beijing.
I rented the shop to this Kucha man, but this Kucha man didn't find any problems."
Feng Shenyu looked at Li Huaiyu and asked, "Has Wang Lang ever been to Nanshi?"
“I don’t know.”
"Check." Feng Shenyu said.
"Wang Lang has been to Qianjin Casino and has had contact with Qianyin Pavilion, so he must be related to Jin Yucheng.
Jin Yucheng redeemed Hua Qingfeng.
So these three people should be on the same line."
Feng Shenyu nodded.
Then he asked the captain, "Have you investigated the person who gave money to Hua Qingfeng?"
“We checked, this guy is very slippery and we lost him several times.
Finally, it was discovered that he always changed clothes in various clothing stores and then came out again.
Later, we followed to Lirenfang next to Yongtongmen.
The man entered the southernmost street next to the city gate, which was only one house away from Yongtong Gate, about a hundred steps away.
It is very convenient to leave the city, and there is an official road just outside the door, making it easy to evacuate.
His yard was very lively, and was surrounded by gatherings of foreigners, making it quite chaotic.
There are many people coming and going every day, including neighbors, soldiers guarding the gate, and all kinds of people.
It’s hard to tell at this moment whether these people have any problems or not.”
Li Huaiyu tapped his palm with the folding fan in his hand, and then said:
"If this Hu Renman boss, Hua Qingfeng, and Wang Lang are on the same line, then who is their superior?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Huaiyu said, "Hiss, could it be the Wang family of Gusu?"
Feng Shenyu shook his head after hearing this: "If that's the case, then Wang Lang lives in the Wang family, so he should be online.
Then Hua Qingfeng should be the last executor.
The Hu people should be the ones who conveyed the information.”
Then he looked up at the captain and asked, "Anything else?"
"The Hu people are complicated. We are investigating, but we have no results yet."
Feng Shenyu thought for a moment and asked, "Does he often go out of town?"
"Occasionally." The captain scratched his head and said.
"Did you follow?"
"I followed him twice and lost him."
Feng Shenyu said sternly, "Continue investigating."
Then he looked at Yang Jin and said, "Send someone from your military department who is good at stealth to follow this barbarian.
He is probably a key liaison.”
Yang Jin nodded.
Feng Shenyu thought for a moment and took out two portraits. One was of the spy who died in Yanyu Tower, and the other was of the servant holding Gao Hongchen's badge.
"Have these two met?"
The captain took a closer look and pointed at the man who died in the Misty Rain Tower and said:
"I've seen this person before. His surname is Xing, and I heard people call him Xing Ye."
Feng Shenyu snorted coldly after hearing this: "As expected."
Then he looked at the captain and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Xing Ye often went to see Boss Man a while ago, but he hasn't seen him recently."
Feng Shenyu asked, "Did you follow this Hu man to the Congzhengfang near the West Market?"
The captain nodded and said, "Yes, I go there often. It's at Xing Ye's house."
The captain continued, pointing at the portrait.
"The Jinwu Guards went to Xing Ye's house before and discovered that there were probably two people living in his house. Have you seen the other person?"
The captain shook his head: "The people we were following reported that Xing Ye was alone in his home and didn't live with anyone else."
Feng Shenyu asked again, "Seven days ago, that is, on the twelfth of this month, did this Hu man go to Congzhengfang to see Xing Ye early in the morning?"
The captain counted with his fingers, but couldn't figure it out.
He took out a small booklet from his pocket, with a lot of things written on it in a scribbled manner.
After searching for a long time, he looked up and said, “He didn’t go to Congzhengfang on the 12th.
But he stayed at Xing Ye's house in Congzhengfang on the 11th until early the next morning, and left shortly after the morning drum sounded.
"Did Xing Ye return home on the night of the 11th?"
The captain looked at the booklet and said, "Xing Ye did not return home all night, and the Hu people got up early in the morning and waited in the courtyard for the morning drum to sound at the city gate.
As soon as the morning drum sounded and the gate opened, he left immediately."
Feng Shenyu nodded: "That's right."
Li Huaiyu nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "The tea that's still warm in Xing Ye's room, was it left by this Hu Renman boss?"
Feng Shenyu nodded.
"Great, it really was easy to get." Li Huaiyu said.
Yang Jin suddenly asked, "Who is this Xing Ye?"
Li Huaiyu explained: "The Nanli spy followed his clues and found that they were planning to blow up the East Palace."
Yang Jin thought about it carefully and realized that he had heard about such a thing a few days ago.
Now he understood, and said, "It seems that this Hu man is very important.
He is related to Hua Qingfeng and Xing Ye in the painting, and he is a core figure."
Feng Shenyu nodded.
"Yes, so you must send an expert to keep an eye on him. Maybe we can follow him to find another Sky-shattering Bomb."
Yang Jin accepted the order and took his leave with the captain.
Feng Shenyu looked at Li Huaiyu and said, "Keep investigating Wang Lang. He must be related to Jin Yucheng.
Moreover, to this day, we don't even have a portrait of Jin Yucheng.
If we can find Jin Yucheng this time, perhaps we'll be one step closer to our final goal."
Li Huaiyu looked at Fengshenyu and said, "Isn't the ultimate goal King Jin?"
"Prince Jin? The people monitoring him haven't found anything yet. How did you deduce it was him?"
"First of all, he is very different from before, you could say he is a completely different person.
Secondly, he has been unknown in the court for many years, but recently he suddenly took over the Ministry of Revenue.
Afterwards, people in key positions in the Ministry of Revenue were gradually replaced, and nothing has been found out through these people so far.
But the more this happened, the more I felt that he was extremely dangerous and had great ulterior motives.
Finally, the Seventh Prince looks very much like him. If the Seventh Prince is his son, then the relationship between Rongpin and him is very intriguing.
So when I say he is the man behind the scenes, it’s not nonsense.”
Feng Shenyu heard this and said, "Regarding the Seventh Prince's matter, Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess secretly tested his blood with that of Prince Jin.
It was discovered that they had the same blood type as the royal blood.
Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of Jinyang explained from a genetic perspective that they are all of royal blood, so it is normal for them to have similarities.
Don't you notice that Princess Zhaoxiang's eldest son and your uncle Prince Yong's youngest son look a lot like each other?"
Li Huaiyu thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.
