Chapter 1464 Xin Zijuan’s clues
Wu Yaoqing also laughed, "Sir, if Master Renqing is just like this, it's not worth our time to track him down."
"Oh? It looks like the harvest is not small, let's talk about it." Feng Ziying became interested.
"We kept an eye on him until we saw him going out from the east gate and taking a boat to Tongzhou. Because he suddenly changed to taking a boat, we almost missed him. Fortunately, we reacted quickly enough and a small boat followed him. Last night, he arrived in Tongzhou overnight and was very vigilant. He circled around Zhangjiawan. Our people were almost discovered by him several times, but fortunately, we finally found his place to stay..."
Only then did Feng Ziying realize that there were so many reasons. The other party was so vigilant and must have gone to a critical place. No wonder Wu Yaoqing was so proud.
“Well, it seems that this place should be the key to Renqing’s life.” Feng Ziying laughed.
"Well, after confirming the place, we didn't make any alarm. We waited until Renqing left two days later, and then we started to think of ways to investigate the family. It turned out that this was a grain shop. The boss was away on business all year round, and the proprietress and his wife were left in the shop. With two concubines and four children, the shop's business is mainly wholesale, which is pretty decent. It is inconspicuous among the hundreds of large and small grain shops in Tongzhou..."
Feng Ziying was surprised, "You mean Renqing is the man of the house?!"
"Yes." Wu Yaoqing nodded firmly, "We spent a lot of time and effort to investigate from the outside. In addition, we also checked through reliable acquaintances in Tongzhou Prefectural Government and confirmed that Renqing is the owner of the grain store. The local Li Zheng met Renqing a few times, but Renqing was dressed like a layman, polite, and had black hair, not bald..."
"Wig?" Feng Ziying nodded. The monk married wives, concubines, and several children. Well, that would be fine if they were before he became a monk, but this was obviously not before he became a monk. "His wives, concubines, and children are not very old, right?" ?”
"The wives and concubines are all young, all under thirty years old. I heard that taking wives and concubines happened more than ten years ago. The oldest of the children is less than ten years old, and the youngest is only two or three years old..." Wu Yaoqing understood Feng Ziying's intention. Intention, "We have quietly investigated. Basically, Renqing comes to stay for two nights every month, and even visits the surrounding neighbors to do some local business. Because his family's business is very average, there is not much business. His opponents didn't seem to make money from this. The family was happy and had no grudges. However, I heard that a few years ago, two thugs wanted to come to bully his wife and concubines. However, one of them fell into the water after being drunk and died, and the other Because he was seriously injured in a fight with foreign gamblers in a casino, he is still paralyzed in bed..."
“Then the foreign gamblers must not have been found either?” Feng Ziying laughed.
"Yes, the government also doubted whether it was Ren Qing. Well, he was called Shopkeeper Liang, Liang Qingren in the local area, but there was no evidence. In addition, the rogue was also a disgusting character in the local area, so the government did not investigate further." Wu Yaoqing asked. It is very clear, "Originally from Datong, Shanxi Province, he came to Tongzhou eighteen years ago. He first ran an oil mill, and later he opened a grain shop and also ran an oil mill..."
“There is no doubt around me. Since I haven’t made much money, I can continue to operate without worrying about food and clothing...” Feng Ziying rubbed her chin and asked.
"I must be a little curious, but the shopkeeper's wife said that the shopkeeper is mainly engaged in transporting grain to Datong, Shanxi Province. Because of his relationship with the military, he does not rely on this shop to make money. This situation is also very common in Tongzhou. In addition to the capital city, most of the food in Tongzhou has to be transported to Liaodong, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, and the military in Shanxi. In addition to grain, there are also some doorways left over after the opening of the Zhongfa, so snakes have snakes and rats. There are traces of rats, but everyone is fine..."
"It seems that this Master Renqing is not a simple man. He actually has a home in Tongzhou, not far away. But Yaoqing, this alone can't explain anything. Even if it exposes his true face, it is just inappropriate behavior. , it violates the Buddhist rules, and at worst it means returning to secular life, is there anything suspicious about it?"
Feng Ziying did not believe that this alone could make Wu Yaoqing so elated. To put it bluntly, even if a deputy governor of the Seng Gang Division captured the prison, it would not mean much to the current Feng Ziying, and it would not be enough to increase his prestige. , Wu Yaoqing will not fail to understand this.
"Yes." Wu Yaoqing nodded, "Because we have been secretly tracking and investigating Master Renqing, and by the way, we also did a thorough investigation of the group of people living in Hongqing Temple, and found that the movements of this group of people are even more bizarre than Renqing's. Basically, I leave early and come back late, and sometimes I have to go out in the middle of the night, and..."
Wu Yaoqing paused, "We found that there are many practitioners among this group of people,..."
"No, not from the Jianghu sect, at least not from the Jianghu sect we call them, otherwise our people would definitely know each other." Wu Yaoqing shook his head, "We suspect that they should have something to do with the White Lotus Sect, or that they are members of the White Lotus Sect. people!"
Feng Ziying almost jumped up. Just as he was saying that there was no trace of the White Lotus Sect, it was actually in Hongqing Temple, and he was related to the deputy governor of the Seng Gang Division in the government office. How could this not frighten Feng Ziying? !
If Renqing really colludes with the White Lotus Sect to deal with him, then he will really be in trouble, especially if he is unprepared, then the chance of a successful assassination will be too high.
"Yao Qing, this is not nonsense. A member of the White Lotus Sect lives in Hongqing Temple and has a relationship with Renqing. This is incredible." The White Lotus Sect is regarded as a heresy and is hated by Buddhism. How can it be tolerated? Are these people living in temples? Feng Ziying didn't believe it.
"Sir, our judgment is justified. This group of people is secretive, but their activities are very frequent. However, there are many practitioners among them, and their martial arts skills are also quite good. We dare not follow too closely. We would rather lose them than follow them. Exposed, so during this period we only know a few places where they often visit Cuihua Hutong, Mianmian Hutong, and Huazhu Hutong, but we dare not follow them too closely where they are..."
Wu Yaoqing's affirmative tone made Feng Ziying become more cautious, "Cuihua Hutong?"
That day I went to Huimin Pharmacy to look at a house. It was not far from Cuihua Hutong, and I had to pass Cuihua Hutong to get to the Fourth Translation Hall. Did I suspect that those people came from Cuihua Hutong?
"Yes. Cuihua Hutong, Mianmian Hutong and Huazhu Hutong. Each of these alleys has the word "hua", which is very easy to remember." Wu Yaoqing said.
"Mianmian Hutong is next to the Military and Horse Department in Beicheng, right? Huazhu Hutong seems to be close to the Daxing County Government Office? If it is really the White Lotus Cult, do you think they deliberately chose a dark place under the lamp?" Feng Ziying's eyes were erratic. .
"To the north of Mianmian Hutong is Beicheng Bingmasi, and to the east is Shuntianfu School. Indeed, most people would never think of it. Huazhu Hutong is just across the wall from the Daxing County Government Office, and it is very close to Mianmian Hutong. It should be said that these places are far apart. It’s not far away, and it’s a good place for contact. I can respond to a hundred calls.” Wu Yaoqing said with certainty.
“That means these people are already very powerful and have taken root in the capital city.”
Feng Ziying's face was stern. He had already been mentally prepared. If there were no White Lotus followers in such a huge capital city, he would not believe it. But when he heard that there were only a few contact points or settlements, he felt a little nervous and shuddering. If it was true, If the situation spreads, and if he launches an attack at a critical moment in the future, he, the Prime Minister of Shuntian, will be doomed.
"Previously, we thought that Renqing was a member of the White Lotus Sect, but after careful observation, we found that this was not the case. The White Lotus sect was incompatible with Renqing's group. Renqing was a little afraid of them, but he was not completely incompatible with them. They were in a state of obeying their orders, and the group of White Lotus sect members were also wary of Renqing, but Renqing seemed to have some leverage in the hands of the White Lotus sect, so it became the current situation where they were both hostile to each other and dependent on each other. Straw beats wolf - both sides are afraid of each other, so my subordinates are also very curious about the relationship between them."
Wu Yaoqing's words made Feng Ziying even more curious about Gan Men'er. She didn't know what the situation was like when Renqing was controlled by the White Lotus cultists. Moreover, Wu Yaoqing also said that Renqing was very vigilant and had good martial arts skills, but he still treated these White Lotus cultists like this. There is something taboo about it that cannot be shaken off. Feng Ziying also hopes to clean up and straighten out these ghosts and monsters.
After thinking about it, Feng Ziying said in a deep voice: "Yao Qing, please spend more energy on this matter. Yongping Mansion will be fine. If there is trouble in the capital city, then my black hat should be taken off. In addition, do you think With the current situation, can we touch Renqing?"
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Wu Yaoqing shook his head, "I can move him, but I'm afraid it won't have any effect, and it will also alarm the White Lotus people, so I've been thinking about how to deal with it."
"Then follow them for a while, but Yao Qing, if they make any moves, there is no need to delay any more and act decisively." Feng Ziying set the tone, "Renqing is not important, the White Lotus cultivator is the priority. Of course, if we can get it through It would be best to live in Renqing, dig out the relationship between them, and finally achieve the goal of solving the problem of Bai Lian's people."
Wu Yaoqing nodded silently, thinking carefully about how to achieve the best effect.
Feng Ziying feels a lot more at ease now that he has finally dug out some of the White Lotus Sect's heel. He is also considering whether to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish or to strike first. He must know the right balance, which is also a test. When it comes to craft work, especially in the capital city, Feng Ziying doesn't dare to let the other party get too big, lest it backfire and hurt herself.
