Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

Hepeicheng is the capital of Xiangzhou and the last big city on the official road from the Central Plains to Yanyun. Although it is built on the mountain, it is very prosperous. There are many ethnic groups in the Hunan-Canton area, and at the crossroads of many important water and land roads, there are many Hu merchants coming and going, which is very charming.

A swordsman wearing a bamboo hat hurried through the pier where merchants gathered, took a few quick steps and jumped up the steep steps, climbed over a low wall, and turned into a secluded alley.

Behind the alley are a group of dilapidated low-rise houses, layer upon layer of lifeless buildings. The swordsman looked around and turned into one of the low doors. Inside was a patio with only a square inch of skylight, and a lot of weeds growing in the corners. The swordsman knocked on the wooden board on one side. The wooden plank opened immediately, and a head popped out from behind the wooden plank door. It was Wei Meng.

"Senior brother……"As soon as Wei Meng spoke, the swordsman rushed the person into the house, closed the door, and then took off his bamboo hat. It was Liang Congyun.

"What about the rest?"

Wei Meng took Liang Congyun's bamboo hat and cloak and put it aside, and said,"Senior Brother Sun said he had other ideas and asked me to come back first. Yan Yan and Senior Brother Song went to the east of the city and haven't come back yet. Senior brother, how is it over there in the south of the city?"

Liang Congyun gave a soft"tsk", waved his hands, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water."What kind of trouble does that Sun Zhaoyang want to make? Hey, when I was in Dan City before, I thought he was just a nerd. How come he has been so active in the past few days after following Zhong Wanling? Did you get any results?"

"No, the traffic jam in the northwest of the city is very tight, and even a casual job requires a document from the government."

According to the map compiled that day, Hepei is the top priority in the Hunan-Jingzhou area, and the number of cases that have occurred is also the highest in the area. Although there are no major demon cases, the number of missing people is greater than the total number of people in Hunan-Jingzhou. Zhong Wanling made a quick decision and sent five people from Liang Congyun ahead to investigate.

At this time, someone knocked on the door on the other side. Wei Meng and Liang Congyun looked at each other, Liang Congyun stood up and stood behind the pillar, and Wei Meng just opened the door.

Liang Congyun came in. It was Zhao Yanyan who came out from behind the pillar."How come you came back alone, where are the Canglan people? Zhao

Yanyan wiped his sweat, took a breath, and said,"Senior Brother Song is great. He was recruited by Zhushan Camp to do paperwork.""

"ha? Liang Congyun was shocked and angry when he heard this:"Song Lian, this idiot, asked him to collect intelligence, why did he go to the military camp to be a dog!" ?"

Wei Meng and Zhao Yanyan didn't know why Liang Congyun was suddenly furious, so they could only persuade him to calm down so as not to attract the attention of others.

"Senior brother, don't be angry, didn't the master say that? The army also needs people, Senior Brother Song is here for the mission"

"Yes, isn’t this just Master’s arrangement?"

Liang Congyun threw away the two people's hands, snorted bitterly, and sat back at the table angrily. He saw Zhao Yanyan hesitated in his words, as if he was thoughtful."What's wrong with you?"

"I……"Zhao Yanyan hesitated for a moment, sat down next to Liang Congyun, and whispered what was in his heart:"I really don't understand Master... Oh, we have done everything, and they take the credit. How could she think of such a thankless thing?" Did you come out? Is it really to get promoted to an official position? I haven’t even mentioned these characters yet! Besides, Wu Tianjie is famous for being shrewd and resourceful. If it is really easy, can he agree to such a good request? Moreover, the deputy , It sounds good in name, Deputy Pavilion Master, but how can it be good under Wu Tianjie? In the end, he will not be suppressed. And……"Isn't this the same as sacrificing them for her own fame? This really didn't look like the Zhong Wanling he knew. What a disappointment.

Liang Congyun put down the tea cup and said coldly:"If this is true, then we will all betray the teacher. You are not worthy of being my teacher if you follow others' influence."

Zhao Yanyan nodded angrily.

Wei Meng had a headache and quickly persuaded him:"Senior Brother Liang, don't say that. Yanyan is simple-minded. Don't be on the same level as him.""

"Say who?"Zhao Yanyan shouted dissatisfied.

Wei Meng pressed Zhao Yanyan's shoulders and continued to persuade:"Master must have some reasons for doing this. The situation in Xiangyang was so bad and confusing, but Wu Tianjie refused to take action and restrained his master. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe. Since the master said he didn't want it right away, it was probably an excuse to paralyze Wu Tianjie. First, it would ease the relationship with Wu Tianjie and create the possibility for Wu Tianjie to take action; second, it would allow Wu Tianjie to cede the initiative so that we could Able to investigate. Well, the truth is just as Master expected, Wu Tianjie actually let us leave on the second day, and also allowed us to directly dispatch the disciples of the branch if necessary. Isn't this very successful?"

Zhao Yanyan scratched his head and suddenly realized:"So that's it. The master is really great."

Liang Congyun glared at Wei Meng with disgust."Why do you talk like that idiot Song Lian? You know I don’t? Wei

Meng could only smile bitterly, and turned to ask Zhao Yanyan:"Yanyan, did you and Senior Brother Song discover anything else in the east of the city?""

Zhao Yanyan drank a glass of water, nodded and said:"Yes, yes", took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms, spread it out, put it on the table, and said happily:"Look this."

Liang Congyun and Wei Meng looked over and saw that the piece of paper was a notice recruiting workers for Hepei Wufu Building.

Zhao Yanyan was very excited, patted the notice, and said happily:"Master didn't let us look for opportunities. Sneak into the city defense, the market and the Wufu Tower to find out information? Our chance has come!"

Liang Congyun and Wei Meng looked serious. Zhao Yanyan asked strangely:"What's wrong?"

Wei Meng picked up the notice and read it carefully twice, frowning more and more."This is weird."

Zhao Yanyan took the notice away from Wei Meng and glanced at it. There was nothing strange about it. If there was anything that was different from other stores, it was that the salary was a little higher. I don't know if it was Tianxia Tonghao or Wufulou. People are stupid and have a lot of money, so the salary at the Pei branch is comparable to the salary in Lin'an Jingcheng."Is there anything wrong? It's quite a lot, oh, if you do a good job, there will also be a reward~"

Liang Congyun held his chin and glanced sideways at this naive little junior brother."Idiot, do you still remember what Zhong Wanling and Lao Yu said that day? ?"

Zhao Yanyan blinked. Master and Senior Brother Yu said a lot that day. How could he know which words they were?

Wei Meng sighed and explained:"Didn't Senior Brother Yu say something is wrong with this Wufu Tower? It eats people."

Zhao Yanyan shrank his neck in shock. He was so dizzy that day because of the disappearance case file. Yu Gengze was talking in a roundabout way, but he didn't remember saying such a terrifying thing?

"Senior Brother Yu found out from the city defense records that Wufulou brought people to Hepeicheng every month. It was written that they were long-term workers, and there were more than a hundred people a year. Senior Brother Yu said that this is not normal. The long-term and short-term workers in local shops are usually recruited locally, so there is no need to go to great lengths to bring them from other places. Moreover, a restaurant can only use a few people. It’s just a matter of bringing it once, but you need to bring it to Hepei every month? This long-term worker is not a consumable, and it is used up so quickly."

"oh……"Zhao Yanyan nodded in understanding, and when he saw the notice in his hand, he realized something was wrong:"No, isn't there a recruitment notice?"
