Chapter 522 The Assassin's Hideout

When Jiang Youzhen arrived, there were quite a few people queuing up to buy tofu in front of the door. He asked the carriage driver to drive to the back door, and when Jiang Youzhen entered the yard, he found that it was full of the aroma of tofu.

Because there were so many people, Jiang Youzhen felt it was a pity to close this small tofu workshop. Fortunately, one of the teenagers knew how to make tofu, so they took turns making it and counted it as part of their funding.

"Young Master! You're here!" Jiang Yi was very happy to see Jiang Youzhen coming.

Ever since he came back yesterday, he had been looking forward to Jiang Youzhen asking them to go on a mission again. Today was his turn to make tofu, but he didn't expect to meet the young master.

Jiang Youzhen nodded, "Why didn't you take a few days off? Didn't I tell you and Jiang Li to go back and recuperate?"

After all, the two of them were not yet fully trained, and the previous night was so dangerous that they were bound to suffer some physical injuries.

"I'm fine now. It's just a little scrape. It's no big deal." Jiang Yi shook his arms to show that he was fine now.

Jiang Youzhen nodded and looked at the bright eyes of the other party. She knew what Jiang Yi was thinking, but it was not the right time yet.

"Then learn your skills well. You are still a little short of that. When your master says you are ready to become a master, come back and find me."

Jiang Yi was a little disappointed. He liked following the young master. It was better than being locked up in the yard practicing martial arts every day.

Besides, the young master has a lot of delicious food around him. Yesterday, the young master gave him a reward of ten taels of silver. That was the first time he touched silver. He only gets five hundred coins a month now!

"Where's the third brother?"

"Oh! It seems like there was something going on in the gang, but the third brother handled it."

To show respect, they followed Jiang Youzhen and called him "Third Brother", but in fact, San was not much older than them.

"When he comes back, ask him to find me."

As soon as Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, Ah San's voice came over.

"No need to look for it, I'll be back soon."

Jiang Youzhen turned to look at him and found that he was dusty and a little tired.

"Let's go! Let's talk inside!" Asan pulled Jiang Youzhen directly into the house.

"But what happened? If you need money, just ask." Jiang Youzhen was afraid that Asan was in trouble, so he said.

Ah San shook his head, "It's not that. It's just that in the past few days, my men have been clashing with another group of people, and several of them were injured.

The other day, Xiaoyue bumped into a beggar by accident. She thought he was one of her own, but the beggar was very vicious and slapped Xiaoyue several times, almost strangling her to death. If it weren't for the people in our gang who saw it and called a lot of people, Xiaoyue might have died. "

Jiang Youzhen frowned, "Xiaoyue is just a little girl, how could this beggar be so cruel? Could it be that he has a grudge against you guys and wants to use this as an excuse to stir up trouble?"

Ah San sighed, "We came to Beijing to develop, and it is inevitable to offend people when we are trying to grab territory in such a short time. In addition, we have a lot of money here, and we have poached many people over there, so it is certain that those people are dissatisfied with us.

Besides, these people are a mixed bunch, and there might be many spies from other gangs among us. It’s hard to control them when there are too many people.”

Jiang Youzhen nodded, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Once gangs and factions start forming, it will lead to a struggle for power. The people on our side must be trustworthy. If that doesn't work, you can pick some elite people who are dedicated to doing the work for me."

"You are actually quite suitable to gather intelligence here by posing as a beggar, but they are too much of a bully. The beggar Arong who helped Xiaoyue before was found dead in the river yesterday. They must have done it secretly. Those people are too cruel. Why would they do this?"

Asan slammed the table, extremely angry.

Jiang Youzhen suddenly had an idea, "Did anyone die during your previous clashes?"

Ah San shook his head, "Not really, but maybe they haven't come to their senses yet."

"Third brother, this matter is a little strange. Although the government will certainly let the death of a beggar go lightly and will not investigate, they are still afraid of something going wrong and generally will not take such a ruthless action.

Immediately have someone secretly follow the beggar who tried to strangle Xiaoyue, and check if there are any unfamiliar people in the city who look thin but strong. "

Ah San was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

He suddenly thought of something. "I heard that an official was assassinated on the Beiding River pleasure boat the night before yesterday. Were you there that night? Do you suspect that the assassin was hiding among the beggars?"

There was a flash of admiration in Jiang Youzhen's eyes. In fact, Asan was very smart.

"Yes! I was there that night. When the government arrived, they immediately imposed martial law throughout the city. So it's unlikely that we can escape now. But it's a hassle to hide so many people. The best way is to spread out and hide, but spreading out too far will make it difficult for us to communicate."

Jiang Youzhen seemed to be thinking about something. "Anyway, have someone secretly follow him and check if he's suspicious. Be careful not to alert the enemy, and also be careful about your safety."

Ah San agreed and stood up immediately, "Then I'll go now."

"That's right! Send some young men of the Jiang generation to dress up as beggars to protect Xiaoyue in the next two days. That man might come to kill Xiaoyue." Jiang Youzhen had an idea suddenly in his mind.

"Why does he have to kill Xiaoyue? Did Xiaoyue know something?" Asan's mind raced.

"Maybe Xiaoyue saw or heard something. Anyway, be careful in the next two days." Jiang Youzhen thought for a long time and felt that she should take action herself tonight!

"Xiaoyue was frightened before and has been running a high fever. I asked someone to take her to Xiaohe Village in front to find a doctor who specializes in treating frightened children. He just came back this afternoon. No! I have to go back to see her!"

"Be careful!" Jiang Youzhen planned to wait until night to guard. Xiaoyue had been away before, and maybe there would be some extra gains tonight.

There is a curfew at 10:00 p.m. in the capital city and people are not allowed to stay outside at night.

The moon is dark and windy, and just after the fifteenth day, the moonlight tonight has become dim.

Jiang Youzhen changed into night clothes, took a deep breath, jumped onto the courtyard wall, climbed onto the roof, and headed towards the South City City God Temple.

The Nancheng City God Temple was originally a popular place of worship, but later a wealthy family rebuilt the City God Temple and this place became abandoned.

This place is not big, and the appearance of the City God Temple is very shabby. Jiang Youzhen went to the roof, first took a look, then took off the roof tiles and looked down, and found that many beggars were sleeping in a mess on the haystack in the main hall.

Xiaoyue was surrounded by a group of beggars. Jiang Youzhen saw Jiang Yi dressed as a beggar and couldn't help shaking his head.

After putting the tiles back in place, Jiang Youzhen found a big tree not far from the house.

After flying over, I found that the view was excellent and I could see the roofs and the backs of the houses.

Holding his breath, Jiang Youzhen hid among the branches and began to wait quietly.

Jiang Youzhen opened his eyes wide and stared for a long time, only to feel sleepiness coming over him like a tide.

It seems that surveillance requires patience. It's really boring and I want to sleep.

I took the hourglass from the space and found that an hour had passed.

Leaning back, Jiang Youzhen wondered, was her guess wrong and it was just an ordinary dispute?

Just when her eyelids were about to twitch, Jiang Youzhen heard a strange movement in her ears.

She couldn't help but shudder, and all her sleepiness disappeared in an instant. It came!
