In the early morning, the curfew that lasted for several hours ended with the sun's light on the earth. People who were locked up at home for one night by curfew and darkness walked out of the door and started their busy day. Naturally, the same was true in Xuannan Fangzhong.

On a small stall selling food in Xuannanfang, sitting on a chair set up by the vendor, it looked like two figures were just having breakfast, chatting in a low voice.

"Sir, is that old turtle really in this Xuannanfang?"

However, if you can hear what they are saying, you will immediately know that these two people are very different from the others around you who are also having breakfast.

One of them was naturally Li Donghua, the leader who was sent from the Ning Palace to the capital to collect intelligence, but the other person sitting opposite him did not come to report to him yesterday that "Xuanwu is in Xuannanfang" was the subordinate and disciple named Shuting, but a tall man who looked much taller than Shuting, even if he sat, was half a head taller than Li Donghua. Compared to the gentle and scholarly Shuting yesterday, who looked like a scholar, there were a lot of fierce look on his face.

Li Donghua obviously had his own considerations in his heart by bringing this tall man with a fierce look to investigate the situation in Xuannanfang instead of Shuting, who reported the news to him yesterday.

Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others.

Although most of the time people say this when they speak, in fact, when they do it, they often do the opposite. It is precisely because of this that people will summarize such sentences to remind themselves and remind themselves.

And there are many examples that are sufficient to prove this.

The most common one is undoubtedly the incident of breaking dishes in the kitchen.

If other people in the family accidentally break the dishes, the mother's scolding will immediately spread throughout the house, but if the mother's scolding is not accompanied by the sound of the dishes falling...

Li Donghua, who knew this truth in his heart, did not bring the book Pavilion to investigate the situation in Xuannanfang because of this.

Because he was worried that Shuting would subconsciously move some signs to prove that Xuanwu is in Xuannanfang because he heard this news, thus affecting the final result.

That's why he chose this tall man with a fierce look, because the other party has never dealt with Shuting. In this way, when investigating, he will definitely be extremely concerned, and he will definitely wish that he could find evidence immediately and the news about Shuting was wrong.

If enough evidence could be found to prove that Xuanwu was in Xuannanfang under such a "strict" situation, the news found by Shuting would undoubtedly be very credible and sufficient to be accepted.

However, now he is beginning to regret it.

Because the fierce look in front of him seemed a little too stupid.

Since he met with him, he has been slandering Shuting, even though he has not arrived in Xuannanfang, and has conducted real investigations.

Therefore, when the other party once again "recommends the old things" on this small stall selling food, he finally became a little impatient.

"Shut up!"

Li Donghua put down the pottery bowl with porridge in his hand and whispered in a bad tone.

"You are too many people and talkative. You dislike Xuanwu's lack of eyeliner, so you plan to release the news on your own initiative and scare him away?"

Seeing his subordinate who was scolded by him and was stunned on his face, Li Donghua couldn't help but feel even more hatred.

He only blamed himself. He had only been concerned about choosing someone who was not in dealing with Shuting, but forgot to first screen out the idiot who was like this guy in front of him.

‘It seems that today’s investigation can only depend on me.’

Li Donghua saw the look of astonishment on his face disappearing, and at this moment, his subordinate, who was full of nervousness, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Have you finished eating or not, just go back after you finish eating."

However, on the surface, he was still as strict as before and was very dissatisfied with him, and started to drive people straight away.

Obviously, he had endured the unbearable performance along the way. Moreover, with the stupidity he had just shown, he was also worried that if he asked the other party to follow him to investigate, it would not only not have the effect it should be, but would instead ruin the big thing.

If Xuanwu or his men saw something out of his stupid behavior and scared Xuanwu away, wouldn’t he be worth the loss? Then, in less than three days left, where should he go to find Xuanwu’s traces?

"But..."

Seeing that he had already reached the Xuannanfang site, as long as he "showed his skills", he could make the book Pavilion, which he regarded as a scholar all day long, "exposed his true colors" in front of Li Donghua, thus making him favored in Li Donghua's eyes and a fierce look, naturally very unwilling to accept it.

"roll!"

Seeing that he had heard his order and dared to contradict the other party, Li Donghua couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with him, and immediately issued an expulsion order without hesitation.

The fierce man who had just been blocked by Li Donghua before he could even say the rebuttal words that had come back, his face turned black, but looking at the impatientness on Li Donghua's face and the fierce light in his eyes, he was still immediately timid.

Although Li Donghua seems to be an ordinary middle-aged scholar, and he is still in a miserable state, like a poor scholar who has been studying for decades but has not even passed the exam for a scholar, as Li Donghua, who followed him after he came to the capital three or four years ago, was a "old subordinate" who knew Li Donghua's horror in his heart.

The previous rebuttal was just a subconscious reaction that was unwilling to accept it. Now that he was scolded by Li Donghua for the second time, he naturally immediately shrank his eggs and did not dare to say a word.

The fierce man with a bad face who had never even mentioned his name was disgraceful and left unwillingly. After the other party stood up, Li Donghua, who no longer cared about him in his heart, was thinking about his previous plan at this time.

With him alone, it was not easy to find Xuanwu's trace in this huge Xuannanfang in just one day.

Xuannanfang said it was big or small, but it wasn't small. There were nearly a hundred stores in the market, and there were tens of thousands of people. It was not easy to find Xuanwu, a turtle-born here alone.

But on the other hand, it is not as difficult to determine whether Xuanwu is in Xuannanfang or not.

After all, he had never expected to see Xuanwu with his own eyes. He just needed to make sure that Xuanwu was indeed in Xuannanfang.

As for how to determine this, he had already made a plan in his mind last night.

...

Looking up at the sky, Li Donghua's mouth couldn't help but pull out a curve, and his eyes were full of expectations and looked at the entrance of the market.

"Calculate the time, they should be coming soon."

Putting down a few copper plates, Li Donghua stood up and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Just as his murmuring was not yet completely gone, a noise suddenly came from the entrance of the street of the market, followed by a burst of people and horses.

Many small vendors who set up stalls to do business near the forks of the road, as well as many customers who were eating at these stalls, were now as if they had seen a flood of beasts, and they all fled to all directions, as if they were afraid of being swept by the flood and being caught up by the beasts and swallowed alive.

Seeing this scene, Li Donghua originally only pulled the smile on the corner of his mouth, and at this time he could see several yellow teeth.

"Here you come."

And with another low voice of murmuring to himself, the vendors and customers avoided them like snakes and scorpions finally appeared in his eyes.

A group of dozens of people wearing soap clothes, who looked similar to the white servants in the county government dressed in a similar fashion, rushed into Xuannanfang with great momentum.

Although his outfit seems to be similar to the Baifu in the county government, as a person who has lived at the foot of the emperor for at least several years, no one in Xuannanfang will naively regard the other party as Baifu in the county government government.

Moreover, although Bai Jun from the county government is also a man who needs to be served carefully, he will definitely not be able to scare the vendors to avoid their own pots, pans, tables, chairs, and benches.

Dongchang Anime.

An existence "as famous" as the Jinyiwei.

Only the Dongchang Manzi, who is as famous as the Jinyiwei, can make the people in the capital who have lived under the feet of this emperor for many years and claim to be knowledgeable and avoid snakes and scorpions.

Unlike many people who showed fear in their eyes, with a hint of aura in their eyes, but were afraid of the terrifying reputation of the Dongchang Anime, so they only dared to shrank their heads and looked far away at the people of the more than a dozen Dongchang Animes disappeared in Xuannanfang. They had known that these Dongchang Animes would come, and even Li Donghua, who deliberately attracted these Dongchang Animes, had a smile on his face. After these people rushed into Xuannanfang, they followed them without any haste.

Shock the snake.

Although most of the time, this idiom describes being improper and being noticed by the other party, thus becoming alert and guarded, its original meaning is often subconsciously forgotten.

People walk in the grass, worried that they will hit the poisonous snake and be bitten, so they will hold a stick and wave it in the grass, so that they will see the possible poisonous snakes ahead of them in advance and leave in advance.

It is obvious that the dozen Dongchang people in this group were the long stick waving in Li Donghua's hand to scare away the poisonous snake.

However, it is different from pedestrians who just want to scare away the poisonous snakes and ensure the safety of the road.

He is a snake catcher.

And Xuanwu is naturally the poisonous snake that hides in the dense grass and is difficult to see.

...

In his heart, Li Donghua, who was quite proud, strolled in Xuannanfang with the power of the East Factory to intimidate Xuanwu, so that he could show his flaws due to fear in his heart.

But in his eyes, he was only concerned about looking at the Dongchang men in front of him, and at the same time, paying attention to the panic crowds who were disturbed in front of him, hoping to find traces of Xuanwu's subordinates, but he did not find that behind him, there was a man who was also smiling and following him.

This person who followed Li Donghua was naturally Bai Shier.

Although he was casting a wide net and spread the news that Xuanwu was in Xuannanfang through the Jinyiwei of the Qianhu Institute of Tianjin, and was about to arrest him, Bai Shier was not sure whether this news could be heard by the eyeliners of the Ningwang Mansion such as Li Donghua.

After all, in the capital, the Jinyiwei of Tianjin seems a little out of place. Those spies who take the capital as their base and are only familiar with the situation in the capital will inevitably focus most of their energy on the "local snakes" such as Jinyiwei of Beijing, Dongchang Fanzi, Liusanmen Constable, County and Government Offices, and the risk of rashly contacting people who are not familiar with each other is undoubtedly very unwise for those spies who hide in the dark and expose their identities to death.

However, just as Bai Shier was thinking about how to avoid attracting the attention of spies such as Li Donghua and others and spread the news to them, Qianyuan, Qianhu of Qianhu, from the Jinyiwei Qianwei Qianhu Office, brought him good news last night.

Someone asked for the news from a captain under his command, and the captain also told the other party about the relevant news as Bai Shier had told him in casual conversation.

Of course, in order to prevent suspicion, the information mentioned by the captain only mentioned generally what he could know. In the early morning of the next day, there was a task of capturing the thief leader of the North Pole in Xuannanfang.

But for Bai Shier, this is enough.

He believed that after receiving this news, the spy from the Ning Mansion would inevitably go to verify it no matter what.

Therefore, during the curfew last night, he had already arrived in Xuannanfang and lived in a house provided by the commander of the Jinyiwei.

As for the original purpose of the house.

Ahem.

I have a strong wife at home, but I also long for gentleness...

...

So, Bai Shier, who knew that there would be spies from Prince Ning's Mansion in the capital to investigate the situation today, came to the intersection of Fangshi and the streets early today, enjoying the common food of the people in the capital, usually waiting for the main person to appear.

As a huge capital with a large population, many people are certainly impossible for people to rely on farming to make a living like the farmers in this country. After all, it was no longer two thousand years ago in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The purpose of people building city walls was to protect the fields.

Moreover, in the capital city with a population of hundreds of thousands, there is no way there is so much field for cultivation.

Therefore, people living in it need other means of making a living.

Therefore, even when the cold in the air was still very biting in the morning, the market and the streets were already very lively. Naturally, even Bai Shier did not notice Li Donghua and his stupid subordinates at the beginning.

Even if Li Donghua finally couldn't stand the other party's stupidity and drove him away, Bai Shier didn't notice him.

But when the group of more than a dozen Dongchang players rushed into Xuannanfang with a burst of people and horses, Li Donghua's performance immediately seemed like a beacon in the dark, immediately attracted all Bai Shier's gaze.
