Li Rufeng smiled, this Huang Qi is really interesting!
Qin Erlang talked too much, which caused the house to be cleaned up.They couldn't tell whether this matter had anything to do with Leng Ningyun.However, Qin Erlang did come to provide information about Elder Leng on the official road northwest of the capital.

Could it be that the other party killed Qin Erlang because of this?Judging from cutting off the tongue, it does mean to warn others not to talk too much.

However, their search in northwest Beijing did not yield much results.The escort sent to investigate could only verify that such a car and a group of people passed by. There were no witnesses as to whether Elder Leng was in the car or not.

Now that Qin Erlang was suddenly killed, it seemed to confirm the information he provided at the beginning.Moreover, Qin Erlang's backstage is Liu Zhen, the biggest suspect at present.

Several clues are intertwined, and they seem to have a direction.

However, even with this clue, their original problem still existed. There were too many places to go on the official road northwest of the capital, and they were simply unable to visit them one by one.

To say there are clues is actually the same as not having any clues.

At this time, Chen Cui brought useful news: Cao Sheng of Zhangjiawan and Eunuch Cao, the steward of Nanyuan, were indeed related.

"...They are both from Wei County, Daming Prefecture, and they are uncles from the same clan. When Cao Sheng came to the capital to make a living, Eunuch Cao took good care of him. Later, Cao Sheng made his debut in Zhangjiawan. The same goes for Eunuch Cao. The ceremony was very respectful. The relationship between the two has always been good."

Li Rufeng heard this and immediately added this clue to the mind map on the wall.Now Liu Yi - Cao Sheng - Eunuch Cao - Liu Xiaozhuan - Master Qin - Erlang Qin - Yang Tianliang... all of them are connected together.

These lines, whether they are present or not, are all pointing to someone.Now Li Rufeng can say with certainty: These people have a conspiracy.But he could not conclude that the conspiracy was related to Leng Ningyun.

The two faced each other for a long time before Li Rufeng said: "I don't think we need to worry about Qin Erlang's situation. Since we know that Liu Zhen is the most suspected person, it is better to use this person as a breakthrough. Let Min Zhanlian's team kidnap him secretly."

Min Zhanlian's handling of this matter did not involve He Liansheng and Delong. Even if Liu Zhen had nothing to do with this matter, he would be torn apart by directly silencing them.

"It's just that if we move Liu Xiao, we will definitely scare the snake. The whereabouts of the shopkeeper Leng is unknown, so I'm afraid it will scare the snake." Li Rufeng sighed, "And I'm worried..."

"Are you worried that Liu Zheng doesn't know the whereabouts of Elder Leng?"

"Hmm." Li Rufeng nodded, "If it's a normal kidnapping case, if you capture the key person, you will naturally find a ticket. Like them, the people are divided into several groups, and only one is captured. I'm afraid they don't know the specific whereabouts."

"We are going to take this matter in two ways. One is to let Min Zhanlian continue to secretly investigate Liu Zhen's information to see if he can bring out any more people. The other is to continue searching for the whereabouts of Elder Leng in suspicious locations." Liao Sanniang narrowed her eyes. Eyes, "I have a vague feeling that Elder Leng is in the capital and has not gone far."

"You mean..."

"It seems from the current clues that Nanyuan is the most suspicious place." Sanniangzi said, "We still have to go to Nanyuan to explore!"

It's not that they haven't paid attention to this place in the past, but firstly, the place is too big and difficult to find; secondly, they also asked people for information, but didn't get any useful information.

However, based on the recently collected intelligence, if someone is secretly manipulating the city foxes and rats in the capital, then the information obtained through inquiring may not be true.Combined with the various suspicious aspects of Yang Tianliang in the intelligence, Liu Xiaobian's case, and the presence of eunuchs among the bandits... the possibility of hiding tickets in Nanyuan increased significantly.

Since reconnaissance is to be carried out again, we cannot go back to the old path and must send special personnel to do it.

Nanyuan is a very large area. There are not only the "Haihu" responsible for guarding the garden, but also the eunuch's office responsible for its management, and the duty rooms where the guards and soldiers are stationed... These buildings and houses are scattered here and there. In the wilderness of 120 miles around, without a reliable guide, even if you are a hero, you will still be helpless.

When Li Rufeng was receiving training in Lingao, he listened to a lecture by a veteran officer of the General Reconnaissance Bureau, who specifically mentioned the importance of "guides". Without guides, it would be difficult to effectively execute assault and reconnaissance operations.

But there is no reliable relationship with Liansheng inside.Li Rufeng and Sanniangzi discussed for a long time, but they couldn't find a suitable candidate.

"It can only be used by outsiders." Li Rufeng said.

"You mean, Mr. Qin?"

"Since Mr. Qin is very familiar with the eunuch in charge of Nanyuan, he is a ready candidate."

"I'm afraid that Eunuch Cao may be involved in the case..." Liao Sanniang said worriedly.Li Rufeng's face twitched: "Let's just do it all the time..."

"Absolutely not." Seeing the fierce look in his eyes, Liao Sanniang quickly dissuaded him, "It's really embarrassing. We won't be able to survive in the capital."

Li Rufeng walked around the room a few times and suddenly said: "Yes!"

"what?"

"I think of a person." Li Rufeng said that this person was one of the common people in the capital: Seng Dao.
As the old saying goes: Beijing officials who go abroad, monks who enter the capital.Monks and Taoists from other places, whether they are monks who have received the precepts, or wild fox Zen who pretend to be gods and Buddhas, as long as they come to Beijing, if they are lucky, they will be able to flourish in a few years.

This person is a Taoist priest who entered Beijing. His surname is Wu and his given name is Cheng.In the early years of Tianqi, he accompanied his master to Beijing.At one time, I also drank spicy food with the master, which was very satisfying.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Tianqi passed away and now he ascends the throne.The master's benefactor was frustrated in officialdom, and his master was also unlucky.After all the troubles, the master was disheartened and returned to his hometown to live. Wu Cheng saw the prosperity of the capital and was unwilling to return to his hometown, so he stayed in the capital to hang out.

This mess has been going on until now, and Wu Cheng is now a waiter in a "Eunuch Temple" in the capital.There are many eunuchs in the capital, and they will leave the palace when they get old. The rich ones stay at home to receive blessings, and the wealthy ones return to their hometowns for retirement.However, most eunuchs were born in poverty, and very few of them became powerful after entering the palace.Therefore, most people can only take shelter in various temples and temples.Therefore, there are temples in the capital specifically dedicated to providing care for eunuchs.As long as the eunuch donates a sum of "incense money" and "lamp oil money", he can live in the temple for retirement and be buried by the monks after his death.

Although Wu Cheng is said to be "listed", in fact the Taoist temple does not develop his food and drink, and does not even provide him with a place to live. It just gives him a "name".Because of this relationship, he mainly works within the group of eunuchs in the capital.The days are barely manageable.

"Wu Cheng is very familiar with the eunuchs, especially the 'black eunuch' in Nanyuan," Li Rufeng said. "After all, he is not a famous Taoist priest. Eunuchs with a bit of status would look at him with their nostrils. Only Luo Luo Only the eunuch who guards Nanyuan will believe in his Taoism. So he hangs out in Nanyuan all year round. He is very familiar with it. There is just one thing..."

"what?"

"This person is very familiar with Third Master Qin. If we ask him to do something, Third Master Qin will definitely know."

This is indeed something to worry about. Liao Sanniang thought for a moment and punched the table lightly: "That's okay. Let's also invite the God of Wealth."

Liao Sanniang's idea was to secretly kidnap Wu Cheng, lure him with huge profits, and let him act as a guide to find someone.Regardless of whether Leng Ningyun is found or not, he will be secretly detained afterwards and will only be released or silenced depending on the situation after everything is settled.

"That's fine, that's all." Li Rufeng nodded in agreement.He suddenly sighed: "We are still very timid in doing things here! Whatever we do, we must take into account the world's humanities and morality."

"If we can really do things unscrupulously, what do we, the bodyguards, need to do?" Liao Sanniang sighed, "Only with this world around us can we have the value of existence."

Li Rufeng was startled and said: "I didn't expect that Sanniang has such true knowledge and insight!"

"Look at what you said," Liao Sanniang smiled, "Anyone can see the general trend of the world as long as they don't cover their eyes. Jianghus and rivers can only exist in peaceful and prosperous times. In troubled times, who tells you the rules of the rivers and lakes!"

The world has become chaotic these years, and the escorts are the ones who feel the same way the most.Even though they are in this "best place", they still seem to have a false "peaceful scene".But as soon as you leave the city gate and walk on the official road, you can feel that the "rules" that the ancestors relied on to survive are falling apart.

When Li Rufeng heard what she said, she felt a lot confused.Fortunately, they are all subordinates of the "Australians", and they have a place to rely on for hope in this world where everyone is walking on thin ice.

"After all, we are working as errands for the Australians!" He said with a forced smile, "When the time comes when we can no longer survive as escorts, we may go to Guangdong to work as security guards for big companies in factories!"

Liao Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled: "That's not the case. You and I can be 'cadres' after all. It's just that the profession of bodyguard will probably never exist again." After saying this, she sighed softly, as if she had infinite melancholy.

The news provided by Huang Qi was quickly conveyed to various groups.Because the people he mentioned were all within the reconnaissance range of Min Zhanlian's team, his work suddenly became very important.Li Rufeng was worried that they didn't have enough manpower, so he sent another group of people to Tongzhou and other places to listen to his orders.

In order to facilitate the response, he and Min Zhanlian negotiated and Min Zhanlian's entire team moved to Tongzhou, leaving only Zhangjiawan with traffic information about the two people; Li Rufeng sent people to keep an eye on Luocheng and Nanyuan.

Min Zhanlian thought over and over again, thinking that the key to the matter lay with Liu Zhen.This person is likely to be the front-line commander. To capture him is to gain the "eye in the game."

But precisely because he has the heaviest responsibility, attacking him would shake the whole situation.Especially if the whereabouts of the condensation cloud are unknown.Min Zhanlian's thoughts at this moment were different from those at the beginning. He not only wanted to rescue Leng Ningyun, but also took the opportunity to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Naturally, he couldn't tell his subordinates what he was thinking, so he just said that it was not appropriate to alert others at the moment, and he only wanted to pay attention to Xiao Wu and keep an eye on Liu Zhen.
