The four of them got off the car outside the square gate to observe the situation, then climbed up on the tiles and ran through several houses. After a while, the target yard appeared in front of them, with only an alley in the middle.

One look at it makes you realize it is wonderful.

Although there was a carriage parked in the open space in front of the house, there was no horse pulling it.

The doors and windows of this house, which had three front and three entrances connected by two patios, were closed and did not look like it was inhabited. Kou Zhong said dejectedly: Oh no! We scared away all the witches and witches.

Song Shidao was surprisingly calm and said in a low voice: Let's go into the house and take a look, maybe we will find something.

Ba Fenghan sighed and said: I think all efforts are in vain. The Yingui sect has always been known for its secretive whereabouts, so they will leave no clues that can be traced, otherwise people would have chased them to their lair.

Song Shidao shook his head and said: This trip is different. I am almost certain that they hurriedly changed places after Guan Long's identity was revealed the night before. They were afraid of being found on this line. This is a kind of heart that can sail for thousands of years.

It is a measure that is easy to be ignored. In this kind of mentality, it is inevitable that there will be negligence. Then we have a way to find out.

The three of them all looked at Song Shidao with admiration.

Master Song said, "Come on, come on." He jumped into the yard first.

The interior of the hall was elegantly decorated, with paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. However, as Ba Fenghan expected, everything was clean and tidy, with nothing left except furniture and utensils.

Song Shidao refused to let go of any inch. When the three of them were not interested, he picked up some crumbs of tea leaves from the ground, brought them to his nose, sniffed and said: If I am not mistaken, these should be yellow buds with straight and even leaves.

It is yellow in color with green in the middle and is tender and shaped like a duck's tongue. It is the best tea.

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, thinking that only a boy from a wealthy family like him could make so many senses out of a piece of tea.

Xu Ziling frowned and said: Even if you know what kind of tea this is, what effect can it have?

Kou Zhong interjected: "I don't think the witches of the Yingui sect carry tea with them. Shangguanlong should have prepared it to honor them."

Song Shidao said happily: This possibility is very high. There are several tea shops in Tianjie, three of which sell yellow bud tea, but only Shanjingju sells the first-class yellow bud leaves produced by Jingangtai. Their boss and I have been together these days

If you are familiar with it, it will be easy to find out whether Shangguan Long is only fond of this tea. If so, we will have another clue. The three of them were convinced.

If you are addicted to tea and are used to drinking a certain kind of tea, even if you change your taste from time to time, it will never change all at once.

If Shangguan Long happened to send someone to buy tea while he was recovering from his injuries, they would have a chance.

Song Shuandao inspected again and found nothing new, then went inside.

The three of them regarded him as a god because of his investigative skills and hurriedly chased after him.

Song Shidao entered one of the bedrooms and slept on the bed with a low hanging tent. The bedding inside was messy. In response to their expectations, he not only left in a hurry but also left in the middle of the night. If it was during the day, all the bedding should be tidied up.

While the three of them were observing carefully like Master Song, he opened the curtain and sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the pillow and sniffed it carefully.

The three of them only followed him and waited patiently for what he had to say.

When Song Shidao saw the three people staring blankly, he put down the quilt and smiled and said: It's really not a big deal. It's just that I have always grown up in a family that pays attention to life, and it happens that the people of the Yingui sect are also very particular about their requirements in this regard, so I think it's okay.

You can tell something from this.

Ba Fenghan said with emotion: Second Young Master’s words are very useful. People in the world have always thought that the Yingui Sect was hiding in deep mountains and poor valleys, but now it seems that it is more likely to hide its base in the bustling metropolis to teach people.

Unexpectedly, otherwise I would never be so particular about everything.

Kou Zhong also asked modestly: What kind of emphasis is it?

Song Shidao replied: The sleeping tent and bedding have been smoked with ordinary spices, but the pillow has a different kind of fragrance, which should come from the spices that the woman likes to use.

Ba Fenghan said: Then it must be Jun Yu who sleeps in this house. She never uses spices.

Song Shidao said: The rosin that is smoked on the quilt is collected from Masson pine. Don’t think that this is just for enjoyment. In fact, it also has the benefits of moisture-proof, anti-corrosion and insect repellent.

He also said: As for the aroma of Chenshang, it should be made from the finest sweet-scented osmanthus, a spice that ordinary people cannot afford. Although there are more than a dozen spice shops in Luoyang, only Pingfu Old Shop sells this kind of Quaker goods.

Ba Fenghan said curiously: The second young master really knows all the shops in Luoyang.

Song Shidao smiled and said: I have been to Luoyang five times. When I had nothing to do, I walked around the streets and borrowed food to help Luoyang's economic development. Do you understand?

Xu Ziling said: Now that we have these two clues about tea spices, what should we do next?

Master Song said: Let's look around other places! But they won't keep things that Brother Ba can take away if he is right.

The car drove out towards Tianjie.

Song Shidao has transformed into their leader in pursuing Fu Junyu.

Kou Zhong was puzzled and said: I still don’t understand why she didn’t use Aunt Yu to threaten us after several fights with Huan Huan?

Song Shidao said: This actually shows that Jun Yu is really in their hands, so he is afraid that others will know. No matter how unscrupulous Zhu Yuyan is towards Fu Cailin, she will always have some scruples. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will not use Jun Yu to ask you to confess. Yang Gong's treasure house is secret.

The afternoon sun broke through the clouds and made people feel bright and fresh after a long rain.

Song Shidao took the opportunity to close his eyes and rest his mind. The three of them did not dare to disturb him, so they all sat quietly or took in the scenery along the way.

When they arrived at Tianjie, Song Shidao slipped out of the car, while Zhang drove the car into a side street and waited.

Ba Fenghan took the opportunity to ask Zhang to help him find a place for the Tiele people to settle down.

Zhang Aoran said, "Master Ba, don't worry, people will handle these things for you properly."

Bi jumped out of the car and went.

The remaining three people were waiting in the car.

Xu Ziling remembered the unfinished conversation earlier and asked Kou Zhong: Do you know what happened when Dong Shuni lied to you?

Kou Zhong said harshly: This matter is a long story.

Then he explained the process of asking Wang Shichong to pretend to be stabbed, and then said: In order to stabilize and strengthen Wang Shichong's confidence, I took Zhai Jiao and Tu Shufang to see Wang Shichong. This old fox immediately beamed with joy and discussed arranging the stabbing with me.

Humph! Damn it, do you know what he proposes?

Of course, the two of them could only scratch their heads to express their ignorance.

Kou Zhong imitated Wang Shichong's voice and said: The day after tomorrow Rong Fengxiang will hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate his birthday. All the respectable people in Luoyang will join in the fun. I originally wanted not to go, but now I have to go, otherwise I will give the old man a chance to assassinate me.

Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan looked at each other in confusion. The latter said: What is this? Wasn't Rong Fengxiang's birthday celebration held last night?

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: So my girl is lying to me. I really don’t know what her intentions are?

Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: She plans to kill you and this matter has nothing to do with Wang Shichong.

Kou Zhong was stunned and said: Why did she want to kill me? Maybe she just wanted to kidnap me but what good would this do to her? Isn't she afraid that Wang Shichong would annoy her?

Ba Fenghan laughed and said: Except for Dong Shuni, I am afraid God will have to answer your question. What unscrupulous things have you done to other girls?

Kou Zhong called out to Tianqu and said: What does that mean? Besides, she took the initiative. Regardless of her young age, she has more experience than the three of us combined.

Seeing the two men staring at him with blazing eyes, Kou Zhong spread his hands and said, "Am I a man? It's human nature to take pleasure in the situation, right?"

Xu Ziling said: Given Dong Shuni's temperament, this matter must be related to matters between men and women.

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: You may have met a jealous husband. Dong Shuni has always followed her nature of treating love as a game. Believe it or not.

When Kou Zhong was about to say something, Song Shidao came back and said excitedly: Finally we saw the light of day!

※※※

When the boat sails to the west of the intersection of Luoshui and Yunqu, there is a pontoon bridge crossing one of the three bridges in Luoshui.

Nearly 300 ships of various types are moored at dozens of docks on both sides of the strait. Ships are constantly coming and going, and the traffic on the waterway is frequent and busy.

The boat stopped between two cargo ships.

Since the river access was to be cleared and the number of docks was limited, the ships were berthing close to each other, so their actions would not attract attention. Kou Zhong looked at the busy scene of loading and unloading goods on the shore and was surprised: Who can only see the bustling scene in front of him?

Can you imagine that everywhere someone is ceding territory and becoming king, leading to continuous war?

Song Shidao said: This kind of trade can bring a lot of local tax revenue and solve the demand and supply, so everyone will try to make it as convenient as possible. If someone does not know how to block the waterway or confiscate the goods and travel, and then do business elsewhere, the final loss will still be

Oneself.

Ba Fenghan slowly scanned the ships and said with a headache: Which ship is it?

Just now, Song Shidao and En, the gang director of the Green Snake Gang, went to the tea shop and spice shop to inquire. Sure enough, someone came to order a specific batch of spices and tea yesterday morning, and it matched the yellow bud tea and osmanthus spices that Song Shidao recognized.

The best thing is that because there is only a small amount of cinnamon in stock in the old store in Pingfu, they have to go to the warehouse in the east of the city to pick up the order. The man asked him to deliver the goods to one of the piers here and take them away by boat, so they tracked them here.

Kou Zhong said: Although the goods are picked up at the wharf here, they can be transferred to any ship on this vast river area. This is really a ** formation for ships. The Yingui sect really knows how to pick places.

Song Shidao was confident and said: My family has always been in the water transport business and is most familiar with this issue. The ships here can be roughly divided into three types: merchant ships, passenger ships, and fishing boats. Because they are afraid of being penetrated by the enemy, the inspection of ships is strictly recorded and detailed.

I have asked Ren En to find someone to find a way to see if there is a large ship of similar size that has been anchored here for at least two days without loading or unloading passengers or cargo. Even if it is not successful, it is not far off!

Kou Zhong was convinced and said: No wonder Shi Fei Xuan came to see the Second Young Master. This is the first time I have met such a thoughtful and considerate person like you.

Song Shidao smiled bitterly and said: Who am I, Song Shidao? I can't even protect my beloved.

Xu Ziling was afraid that he would miss important events due to his injury and said hastily: "I have another idea that this ship must be moored at the outermost edge of the pier like our current ship so that it can sail at any time."

Ba Fenghan's body trembled slightly and his eyes quickly glanced at the three-masted ship that had caught his attention just now: This ship was particularly suspicious. It seemed to be anchored in the middle of the two ships, but there was not even a single person on the three ships.

Busy situations are very different.

The three of them followed his gaze.

I saw three boats moored at one of the piers on the other side. The middle one was twice as big as the other two. There were only two decks on the deck. As expected, no one was seen moving around or operating on the three boats.

Song Shidao said: "This way there is no need to waste time. I will send people to investigate these three ships and the results will be available immediately."
