Chapter 680 Discovery

Wang Jian rushed to the imperial city as fast as he could, and met Jiang Cheng who had summoned him urgently in the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Town, and then heard a news that seemed like a fairy tale, and was also appointed to meet him. related top-secret missions.

Thinking back, Wang Jian would tremble subconsciously, and at the same time feel an inexplicable excitement.

King Jin! That was His Majesty's second younger brother. He was tricked by the emperor during the royal family's "big exam" and almost died. He disappeared afterwards. Back then, only King Jin escaped from birth, and the rest of the princes died. Only the current emperor can ascend the throne.

Now it's time for another "big exam", and King Jin is back! ? And still as a cultivator in the Xuanhai Realm!

Wang Jian's idea is very simple. Now this kind of confidential matter involving the royal family is sent to Blackwater to investigate. Doesn't it just mean that Blackwater has now been recognized by the above? Even this matter must have passed His Majesty. If things are done well, then.

When Jiang Cheng issued the task, Wang Jian naturally agreed in person, and when he turned around, he had to report to Shen Hao first, and waited for the thousand miles of notes to go around a few times before he got Shen Hao's instruction: self-protection first, followed by tracking.

Wang Jian has always done what Shen Hao asked him to do, and he quickly reacted when he saw these eight characters. Indeed, although this matter is very important, once it succeeds, the credit will be great. But the danger is too high, and it may even bring unbearable damage to the black water that is still in the "newborn" stage. You must know that he is a cultivator in the Xuanhai realm!

After Wang Jian thought about it carefully, it seemed that Jiang Cheng did not use qualifiers such as "must" and "must" when assigning tasks to him.

Is this letting the people of Blackwater try their luck? Wang Jian, who had cleared his mind, went to the imperial city to direct in person. I lived in a humble courtyard in an alley.

On the night of the arrival, the spies in charge of the highest floor in the imperial city rushed over to inquire. They were all worried, because this was the first time Wang Jian came to the imperial city to look for them in person, and they knew something big must happen.

"This person, and this emblem, should be searched for as long as they can guarantee that they will not be exposed. Once they are found, they must not act rashly, and report them immediately."

Several spies went online and quickly put away the portrait, but no one asked who it was. No nonsense, after Wang Jian finished explaining, he turned around and left, for fear of staying here too much.

Wang Jian would not be offended at all by the hasty attitude of these spies. Some of these rules are still set by him. The job is special, and it is different from the "polite and face" on the official side. In the spy business, the more unfamiliar the relationship is, the better, and you will meet strangers on the road.

Blackwater's current spy system is different from the initial period when it relied purely on drugs to control the stalking of homeless people. Divided into levels, one level at a time, the lower the level, the less aware of one's identity, let alone who one is working for. Drugs or property are mainly means of restricting these low-level spies.

Of course, some necessary means still need to be learned. Originally, Wang Jian was going to transfer some monks to participate in the spy affairs on the imperial city side, but Shen Hao vetoed it. It is said that the location of the imperial city is special, and the status of a monk is not suitable. Once something happens, it is easy to become a target of attack. Therefore, Heishui's current spies in the imperial city are all ordinary people without cultivation base and no martial arts.

A reckless man picking firewood on the road, or an aunt who came out of the market with a basket on her back, or a beggar squatting on a street corner with a confused expression and gray eyes. Sometimes Wang Jian can't tell which are the eyes of Heishui and which are the real eyes passerby.

For five days in a row, Wang Jian gradually woke up from the fantasy of "what if he made a great contribution". Because neither the spies from any part of the imperial city nor the servants lurking in the houses of the officials in the yamen have found anything.

Whether it is a person or an emblem, there is no trace.

At this time, Wang Jian also reacted. It's no wonder Jiang Zhenfu envoy didn't give him any words to limit his completion. Now it seems that he was really trying his luck to find someone.

After figuring this out, Wang Jian lost more than half of his energy in an instant. He laughed at himself for being too impatient, and eagerly ran to the imperial city to sit in the city. This look of gaining nothing really made him a bit ugly.

However, when Wang Jian was about to return to Fengri City, he received an urgent report from one of the spies, saying that some spies had seen the emblem of the nine-pointed star.

At night, the spy who reported the news went online and came to Wang Jian's side. The two set up a cover in the room, and then spread out a map of the imperial city area on the table. The map includes the main blocks of the imperial city and the approximate distribution of the main buildings, as well as some surrounding areas of the imperial city. For example, the tea mountain villa where dignitaries gather together is also marked on the map.

"My lord, look, it's here." The online spy pointed to the location of a small town on the map with excitement in his eyes. Although he didn't know what the emblem represented or who the portrait with weird eyes was, he knew that it would not be easy for Wang Jian to sit in charge of the case himself. I found a clue by myself, a big credit and can't escape, right?

"What is this place? Why is there no name?"

"My lord doesn't know. This is a private village without a name. Outsiders call it "Wuzhuang"."

"Private Zhuangzi? Wuzhuang? What's the background?"

"All the households in this village are old or retired soldiers from the army."

"In the army?" Wang Jian instinctively sensed something unusual, because there is such a large private village so close to the imperial city, and the households are all retired soldiers. Can the identity of Zhuangzi's master be so simple?

"Yes, Zhuangzi's master is Yang Yansi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

Wang Jian took a breath and raised his chin to signal the other party to continue.

"There is a bastard who walks groceries under me. He walks around the streets and alleys every day and sometimes goes to the surrounding towns. He went to Wuzhuang yesterday afternoon. He is an old acquaintance there, so it is convenient to get in and out. When I was leaving, I saw a man coming out of the gate of the big house in the middle of Zhuangzi and getting into the carriage. When the man got into the carriage, a piece of jade was exposed at his waist, and the jade looked like the emblem."

Wang Jian frowned: "Are you sure after just a glance?"

"My lord, don't worry, I know the people under me best, those eyes are very vicious"

"Okay! Isn't it a good memory? Let him talk about that person's appearance and find someone to draw it to recognize his face." Wang Jian didn't question the news of his subordinates, but he needed further confirmation, relying on one person alone "Sweeping a glance" definitely cannot report to Jiang Cheng with certainty.

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately answered: "My lord, I was just about to tell you about this. My offline said that the person wearing that emblem is very similar to the person in the portrait, but the color of the eyes is not black and the other is black." Bai, looks like nine parts."
