    <!¡ª¡ª> ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ The chaos in Nanjing continues.  The martial law order imposed by the Nanjing government has not yet been lifted, and people are strictly prohibited from moving around at will; the "United Shipping Company" is still taking the lead in protests, convening people from all walks of life to demonstrate, and constantly confronting people from the government; grain gangs, servants of the gentry, Nanjing defenders, and patrols  Government officials and other forces are still breaking in and searching everywhere; the people are still hiding in their homes, feeling uneasy and frightened three times a day However, if you look carefully, you will find that the situation in Nanjing seems to be chaotic, but  This kind of chaos is extremely regular and stable, and even gives people a subtle sense of harmony.  Although the Nanjing government has not yet lifted the martial law order, the word "martial law" exists in name only.  Ordinary people still kept to themselves, hiding in their homes and not daring to go out, but those prominent figures did not pay attention to the Nanjing government's martial law order from the beginning.  Even a lowly person like Tang Zhen can just show Huo Zhengyuan's note and show that he is running errands for Huo Zhengyuan, and he can ignore the government's martial law order and walk around Nanjing at will, almost without hindrance.  As for the "United Boat Line" mass protest, it gradually gave people a sense of absurdity. It was like working from nine to five, starting at sunrise and ending at sunset.  Every morning at midnight, the "United Boat Line" will gather people from all walks of life, shouting slogans such as "the people are in trouble" and "the government is oppressive", and march along fixed routes to protest. At noon, they will rest on time.  "Boat Boat" not only provides a sumptuous lunch, but also provides a place for a lunch break. When it is late in the afternoon, when everyone is full and satisfied, they will gather again and continue the protest until it ends on time at midnight in the evening. They will also meet for the next day.  On the morning of the next day, they gathered again to protest, and the cycle repeated.  Faced with the protests by the "United Shipping Company" that ignored the martial law, the Nanjing government had no choice but to take a harsh attitude at the beginning and frequently arrested protesters from all walks of life. However, because the influence of the "United Shipping Company" was too great, too many protesters were summoned.  , they could not be caught, and they quickly filled up all the government cells in Nanjing City.  At the same time, these protesters came from all walks of life in Nanjing, with different backgrounds and backings. Even if they were arrested, various big figures soon sent them names, asking the Nanjing government to release them as soon as possible, so that the Nanjing government could suppress them.  At this time, our hands and feet were tied up.  Therefore, in the end, the Nanjing government had no choice but to turn a blind eye and no longer forcibly suppressed the protests of the "United Shipping Lines". As long as the "United Shipping Lines" did not cause further chaos, they only gave a few warnings and arranged for a few government officials to guard them.  He just stared from a short distance away, pretending to be in control of the situation, and barely maintaining the dignity of the government.  There are also various forces such as grain gangs, Jin gentry servants, Nanjing defenders, patrol officers and other forces. Although they are still breaking in and searching everywhere, at first they were working hard because of the huge reward offered by the Song family, but as Zhou Shangjing changed  They no longer required them to conduct careful house-to-house searches, so all parties gradually began to be confused during the search.  All in all, the situation in Nanjing seems to be chaotic, but the forces that are disrupting the situation are all trying to deal with the situation. Everyone is busy, but after all, they are just puppets of the big shots behind the scenes.  , have no idea what they are busy with, so their busyness quickly becomes pretentious and superficial.  The Nanjing government was pretending to be under martial law, the "United Shipping Lines" were pretending to protest, and the garrison patrols were pretending to search. Everyone's tasks were contradictory and conflicting with each other, but they did not interfere with each other and got along peacefully. On the surface, they all stood firm and never refused.  To give in is actually to muddle along and fish with pay.  And this situation has wonderfully controlled the chaotic situation in Nanjing City, avoiding friction and disputes between various forces to the greatest extent. Although ordinary people are suffering from troubles, and some families are even facing the worry of running out of food, they  It will not affect the overall stability of the situation in Nanjing.  It can only be said that the reason why official forces at home and abroad in ancient and modern times are always keen on making superficial remarks is because although this approach cannot really solve the problem, it can at least avoid the intensification of conflicts in a short period of time, and in many cases it can indeed maintain the stability of the situation.  inevitable choice.  * Under such a strange situation, whether it is Tang Cheng who holds Huo Zhengyuan's warrant, or the "Chaofeng" dead soldier who pretends to be a member of the Liang Gang, there will not be too many restrictions on his actions in Nanjing City.  Even if they frequently encounter patrols and defenders in the city, as long as they reveal their identities and movement orders, indicating that they are working for Huo Zhengyuan and the Lianggang respectively, they can pass quickly without being blocked.  According to the request of the "Chaofeng" dead soldier, Tang Cheng kept a distance of more than ten steps from him and kept following him.After dealing with three waves of Nanjing patrol officers investigating their identities, and avoiding a group of protesting marchers, they finally saw an unknown river, which seemed to be a tributary of Qingxi in Nanjing.  In the river, a small boat with a black awning has been waiting for a long time.  At the signal of the dead soldier "Chaofeng", Tang Cheng boarded the boat and entered the canopy. The dead soldier "Chaofeng" blindfolded his eyes with a thick cloth and blocked his ears with cotton balls. Then he felt  The ship's hull began to shake and sailed in an unknown direction.  After about a quarter of an hour, the ship's hull shook again, as if another person had jumped on board, and Tang Cheng was finally allowed to remove the blindfolds and ear-blocking cotton balls, and restored his vision and hearing.  The next moment, Tang Chengcheng saw Jiang Xiao wearing a mask again.  When he saw Jiang Xiao again, Tang Cheng felt extremely nervous. On the one hand, he was worried that Jiang Xiao would discover his flaws and see through Huo Zhengyuan's counterintuitive plan. In this case, he would definitely have no chance of survival. On the other hand, he was also worried about what Hu Xiao had arranged.  Those tracking masters were not as smart as Hu Xiao boasted. They could not closely follow his whereabouts, nor could they further find Jiang Xiao's hiding place, making his adventure meaningless.  "This Jiang Xiao is worthy of making Academician Huo deeply fearful. He is far more cautious and considerate than expected! When his dead soldiers were leading the way for me, he actually took the risk and deliberately bumped into several people.  If you want to continue to follow the same route, you must also accept the interception and investigation of the government patrols.  Shen would have lost track of the target and revealed his intentions. Then he took me to this awning boat, which further avoided the danger of being tracked and monitored. Although the awning boat was not fast, the person who was responsible for leading the way.  The dead man only had to stand at the stern of the ship and watch, so that those who were following him could not hide. After I boarded the ship, I immediately had my eyes and ears blocked, making it completely impossible to identify my current position. Jiang Xiao himself was unable to identify his current position.  Appearing on another awning boat, it almost eliminates all hidden dangers and makes those who are following behind helpless. From this point of view, it may be an opportunity to use this opportunity to find Jiang Xiao's hiding place.  There is a slim chance that Academician Huo¡¯s wishful thinking will not come true, and he can only find another way! But the last time I met Jiang Xiao was in a awning boat on the Qingxi River, and this time I met Jiang Xiao, boarding the boat.  The location of the boat is also a tributary of Qingxi River. It is obvious that Jiang Xiao is using this Qingxi River channel that runs through Nanjing to carry out secret activities these days Does this mean that Jiang Xiao's hiding place is located somewhere along the Qingxi River channel?  Where? " Thinking of this, Tang Cheng felt nervous and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.  On the other side, after seeing the change in Tang Cheng's expression, Jiang Xiao suddenly asked: "What are you thinking about? What needs you to think about so seriously?" Tang Cheng was surprised, but he had already rehearsed the meeting with Jiang in advance.  After seeing all the situations after the meeting, Xiao quickly replied: "II am thinking about how to report the news to the hero." After Jiang Xiao took a serious look at Tang Cheng, he said coldly: "When reporting the news, you only need to  Just describe it in detail, without adding any of your own ideas. I will naturally make a judgment after listening to it! Tell me, what information did you discover when you suddenly wanted to see me? " Tang Cheng nodded immediately and replied quickly.  : "Gentleman, I have found the person you asked me to look for! Your inference is absolutely correct. He is currently hiding under the protection of Huo Zhengyuan, hiding in Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence! With your  The description was the same. He was short and stocky, with dark skin, an obvious black mole on his face, and a pair of wolf eyes that made people feel chilled. He was very impressive, so I recognized him immediately after seeing him!  " After hearing this, Jiang Xiao's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a sneer: "He is indeed hiding under Huo Zhengyuan's protection Hey! Once his hiding place is determined, the follow-up matters will be easy to handle. " As he spoke,  Jiang Xiao looked at Tang Cheng again, his eyes full of danger.  ¡°Obviously, now that his suspicions have been confirmed and Hu Xiao¡¯s specific hiding place is known, Jiang Xiao has no scruples and will lead his dead men to take quick action.  And Tang Cheng¡¯s eyeliner has completely lost its effect.  Jiang Xiao was seriously considering whether to kill Tang Cheng and silence him.  Jiang Xiao once promised that as long as Tang Cheng was willing to be his spy and provide him with information about Huo Zhengyuan, he would help Tang Cheng escape his humble status and seek medical treatment for Tang Cheng's old mother.  Jiang Xiao is a man of his word and must keep his promise.?.  But these two promises do not conflict with killing and silencing. After killing Tang Cheng and silencing him, Jiang Xiao will still fulfill his promise, but Tang Cheng himself will not be able to see it all with his own eyes.  Tang Cheng was extremely sensitive and immediately noticed the dangerous aura emanating from Jiang Xiao, and immediately added: "I hope the hero knows that I discovered the existence of that person because I was reporting the progress of the mission to Huo Zhengyuan.  The man suddenly broke into the room and seemed to have something urgent to report, so Huo Zhengyuan immediately kicked me out of the room! Before I left the room, I vaguely heard Huo Zhengyuan calling him "Brother Hu", and I heard vaguely again.  It seems this person wants to leave Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence and contact some helper in Nanjing again, so he wants to ask Huo Zhengyuan for a pass just in case" After hearing this, Huo Zhengyuan's eyes flickered and he quickly  He extinguished his thoughts of murder and silence and asked: "Are you saying that the target may have left Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence at this time? And the return time is unknown? Also, he said that he wanted to leave 'again', too.  That is to sayhe did not always hide under the protection of Huo Zhengyuan, but often acted alone outside?" Tang Cheng nodded hesitantly, then shook his head and said: "I didn't dare to stay any longer at that time, so I left the room immediately.  I didn¡¯t hear everything clearly, but that¡¯s probably what happened.¡± At this point, Tang Cheng hesitated and put forward his suggestion, ¡°The villain secretly speculated that the reason why you chose to recruit the villain as your spy is.  In fact, it is not to target Huo Zhengyuan, but to target the mysterious man named Hu, right? According to the current information, this man named Hu seems to often leave Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence secretly. Even if you know that he is currently there,  Hiding under the protection of Huo Zhengyuan, it is difficult to determine his specific whereabouts, and it may be missed But this situation is also a great opportunity for you, as long as we can confirm that the man surnamed Hu will leave Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence alone next time  At the specific time, you can arrange an ambush in advance. Whether you want to capture him alive or kill him, you will be sure to catch him alive, and it will not cause too much noise and attract the attention and intervention of all forces.  " Jiang Xiao's eyes flickered. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and asked, "You mean, are you willing to find out more information for me so that I can know in time the specific time of the target's next independent action? " When asking, Jiang Xiao asked  The tone is meaningful.  Tang Cheng nodded quickly. As long as he could change Jiang Xiao's idea of ????killing people and silencing them, he was willing to promise anything. Anyway, it was just empty talk.  Jiang Xiao immediately sneered and asked: "I'm very happy that you are so loyal But I'm a little strange. You were forced to be an informant by me, so why are you so active in doing things? What's more, what I said just now  Well, you are just an informant, you should not have any ideas, and you should not think about anything! But your current behavior, not only being extremely positive, but also willing to offer me advice, actually makes me feel uneasy!  Tang Cheng couldn't help but change his expression, and quickly explained: "The villain, the villain just thinks that he has no choice" But before Tang Cheng could finish his words, Jiang Xiao changed the subject again: "But, your  The suggestion makes sense!  I originally wanted to lead a team to storm his hiding place after confirming the man's specific location, and kill him on the spot with lightning speed, but if I could ambush and capture him alive while he was acting alone,  , is indeed a better choice, not only reduces the subsequent costs, but also more in line with my wishes!  " Having said this, Jiang Xiao's attitude became much friendly and gentle. He seemed to appreciate Tang Cheng very much. He even raised his hand to pat Tang Cheng's shoulder and said slowly: "In that case, I will wait patiently for you.  For more news, if you find that the target plans to leave Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence and act alone, please notify me immediately so that I can arrange an ambush in advance!  Once this plan is feasible, your benefits will definitely be indispensable. I will not only help you get rid of your humble status and cure your old mother's illness as promised, but I will also give you a large sum of money!  "Seeing that Jiang Xiao not only gave up his thoughts of killing people and silencing them, but was also willing to accept his own proposal, Tang Cheng was relieved and secretly excited. "In this way, Tang Cheng not only saved his own life, but also  They can also pass false information to Jiang Xiao and use Hu Xiao as bait to attract Jiang Xiao to show up at the predetermined location. Huo Zhengyuan can take the opportunity to lay out a larger ambush circle and in turn surround and ambush Jiang Xiao, killing Jiang Xiao and his subordinates.  After killing all the dead men, Jiang Xiao asked Tang Cheng for more information and taught Tang Cheng a new secret contact method so that Tang Cheng could get in touch with Jiang Xiao faster, and then ordered Wu Peng.  The ship docked, indicating that Tang ChengIt's time to leave.  Tang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief again. He didn't expect that he could handle it so easily. Naturally, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly landed and left.  But Tang Cheng didn¡¯t know that just when he turned to leave, Jiang Xiao stared at him with an especially cold and cold look.  After Tang Cheng gradually walked away, Jiang Xiao suddenly turned his head and gave an order in a cold voice: "Gather all the 'Chaofeng' dead soldiers, attack tonight at the ugly hour, and follow me to attack Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence!"?¡­?¡­  ¡­?<!¡ª¡ª>
