Chapter 269 Something weird

"Ji Zexiang came out and asked me to prepare some tea, snacks, etc., and prepare some snacks and wine and dishes for the guards of the Xia family who came with them. These are things I often do, and in fact they were all agreed. But when Ji Zexiang came out and told me that today was a bit strange. Although it was the first time she had a close contact with Xia Yu, it was obvious that Xia Yu was a little uneasy. It seemed that she was just a concealment when she came here, and she just used it for use." Qing'er said.

Qing'er was giving snacks and drinks to the guards that day, and looked at the guards carefully. Although it was Xia Yu's first time to come to the Empression Building, there were two or three of the guards who came to the Empression Building once or twice, and there was at least one worshipper from the Xia Mansion in the guards. By this time, Qing'er had completely kept her mind and knew that what she was going to see today would inevitably be very important.

Sure enough, not much time passed, a man entered Mingzhuyuan from the side door. The man did not go to Xia Yu's room, but came outside the other person's room. He talked with the man through a curtain for a while before leaving. Afterwards, Xia Yu left Ji Zexiang and went to the room to talk about something. Even before the group left, although Xia Yu had not had any problems on this day, Ji Zexiang paid twice the cost and told Ji Zexiang not to reveal what happened today... If anyone asked, just say that Xia Yu was here.

At that time, whether it was Ji Zexiang or Qing'er, it was petrified almost instantly. Who was Xia Yu? In the entire powerful Xia family, he was one of the most powerful figures. Although he only held a tiny fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the court, the Xia family seemed to have a much higher official position than him. Whether he was in the center of Chunnan or in the local area, he had to refer to his opinions in many things. Xia Yu had always cherished his reputation in Yuhang. Apart from drinking and spending on collecting scrolls, this middle-aged man had almost no bad habits. Although the Xia family's industries were widely distributed, most of them were business in terms of eating, drinking, and gambling.

He will inevitably involve some people like this. It is perfectly fine to dress well in front of people of the same status, but if there are any bad habits, there will be rumors among people. But Xia Yu, let alone prostitutes, even if he goes into a brothel casino, can be regarded as a news in Yuhang. If it is the red card in the head of the brothels and other brothels, it may be said that it is listening to music, reciting poems and doing things right, and no one believes it, but Ji Zexiang... Speaking of which, she is most famous for her bed skills. If Xia Yu would rather admit that she was visiting a prostitute than expose the existence of another visitor, what would that person be?

After paying attention, Qing'er did not lose her gains. Although she could not get close to observe, she still found that the other guest was a young woman with a noble identity. Although she tried her best to hide her every move, she was not so easy to hide her temperament and movement details that she had been pampering and domineering for many years.

When Qing'er reported this incident to Xing Siming's subordinates, it was already many days after this incident. After that, Xing Siming asked Qing'er to say it again and carefully asked many details. In addition, he found a portrait engineer from the Intelligence Bureau to describe each person's image one by one. If Qing'er could only remember the most critical people and things, it might be a bit strange, which would make Xing Siming unable to help but investigate. However, Qing

Er's narrative is quite natural, and every detail, as long as she remembers, can be clearly explained. Those aspects that she doesn't know are not evasion. The portraitist even made more than a dozen portraits based on Qing'er's description, from the most important Xia Yu to those who are not very important guards, then tracked down everyone's whereabouts, and finally confirmed that Qing'er could not lie. The reason why Xing Siming was so cautious was because he knew the idea of ​​Qing'er, the little girl.

It would be impossible to say that Qing'er had no speculation of his own. The portrait of the person who came later was identified. It should be Xu Hanchao, the leader of the Black Eagle Gang. Combined various details to speculate, the mysterious visitor could point to only two people in the end: one was Concubine Lian's mother and the other was Concubine Lian herself. However, if it was Concubine Lian herself, then this matter would be very sensational. It would be difficult for Concubine Lian to regard Dongping as her family, but if the news of the Qihai Trading Company, which has a major interest in Dongping, would be a big problem.

After Qing'er finished his statement, Xing Siming ordered lightly: "From now on, you will be promoted to a secondary spy service. I will send someone to contact you and confirm how to deliver the message in the future."

Qing'er's eyes lit up after hearing this. The glory and sharpness at that moment were really surprising, but in just a moment, she returned to the young woman who seemed to be scheming. The maid Qing'er in the embroidery building was so clever and unreasonable that some people liked and some hated her...

"Yes, Mr. Xing." Qing'er gave a quick blessing, then said goodbye to Ye Tao and Qi Zhentao and left. Becoming a secondary espionage service is nothing to her deep qualifications, but at the age of nineteen, she has made her the third youngest among all secondary espionage services in the entire intelligence agency. The two younger than her are both men, and they are both force-type spies who usually conduct assassination, fighting and stealth training. For Qing'er, the most meaningful thing about becoming a secondary espionage service is to report the situation at any time, master what you can report and what you don't report, and add some of your own opinions outside the situation. This means that it is more than one step closer to her lofty goal that seems to be a bit incredible to others. In the intelligence agency, moving from a third-level espionage service to a second-level espionage service is a huge threshold recognized by everyone, and this tradition will last for quite a long time.

After Qing'er left, Xing Siming asked carefully: "Ye Jingluo, Mr. Qi, I have already verified the content Qing'er said in many ways. No loopholes were found. Mr. Qi naturally knew Xu Hanchao's appearance and characteristics. After all, you are old opponents of how many years. And... the other person... Ye Jingluo, I wonder if you can confirm it in the end?"

Ye Tao pondered. In terms of time, Concubine Lian Chang Ling really did not show that she was absent. That day was the first time that Concubine Lian visited the old house of Xia family after returning to Yuhang to see her mother. Because the Xia family's strength was huge, the guards were indeed very lazy and did not follow from beginning to end. That afternoon, Concubine Lian met with the relatives and ladies, and expressed their feelings with her mother, aunt and others, and even fainted and was sent to the quiet room in the mansion to recuperate. In fact, there was no time. However, it is unknown how they discussed this matter before and what purpose it was.

"Mr. Xing, I can't confirm whether it is Lian Fei. According to the description of the Qing'er girl, I can't." Ye Tao said: "You know, Lian Fei and I have a lot of conflicts. I don't see it if I can see it. Even this time, as the highest official of the Dongping Mission, I have never seen Lian Fei several times since I started. I almost have no idea about Lian Fei, especially those habits of the movement."

Xing Siming nodded as usual and said, "In this way, then you will prepare both ways. In any case, the Xia Mansion is not conducive to Qihai Commercial House, not conducive to Dongping, and not for the adults. The arrangement of the Xia Mansion will gradually be unfolded, so that the adults can know that we have hidden lines in the Xia Mansion, but it is not easy to start, so we will keep preparing for the critical moments. As for the affairs of His Royal Highness Lian Fei, I dare not be good at it, so I must report it. Lian Fei cannot stay in Chunnan for a long time, and the surveillance and control work in the future is not something I can do."

"The Xia family originally had a large business on the sea and had to deal with the Black Eagle Gang. I could get this clue out. It would be natural for me to say that they were not conducive to the Qihai Trading Company. It would be a strange thing if they wanted to benefit the Qihai Trading Company." Qi Zhentao snorted coldly. "But Mr. Xing, what do you say is not conducive to Ye Tao? "

Xing Siming said bluntly: "The secret line in Juxian Prince's Mansion is from the Xia family. Chang Hongquan is still pursuing it, but that's just a gesture. He already knows who it is, which family sent it, but his skills are really profound. I guess Chang Hongquan doesn't want to offend the Xia family so early. The spy who passed Chen Kai's identity to the Xia family was the spy. The Xia family was anxious to deal with Chen Kai, so the methods seemed very rough, and they used the Xia family's connections... Indeed, I don't know if they were really targeting Ye Jingluo, or if Ye Jingluo was just a coincidence every time, but it's nothing wrong to be careful. Of course, this is just in Chunnan. When you return to Dongping and Yunzhou, you will naturally not be responsible. Someone will pay attention to the physical and mental safety of adults."

Xing Siming paused and said, "This is the only thing I can do. If you understand the Intelligence Bureau, you should know that I can decide on surveillance and spy on my own, but if you want to do something, you don't have that much power. You still have to wait and listen to General Nie's meaning... So sir, what are you going to do?"
