Chapter 508 A visitor from the Li family

Fu Yun was feeling a little restless in the room.

Senior Brother Zhao clearly said that he would come to see me today, but it is almost noon now and Zhao Yushu has not shown up yet.

He was not worried that something might go wrong with the powerful Zhao Yushu, but he was afraid that the other party didn't need him at all.

With a creak, the door was pushed open. Fu Yun was shocked that his mood was so bad that he didn't realize it until the other party walked in.

"What's wrong? You're sweating."

Zhao Yushu casually threw a few worn-out clothes over and said, "Change and come with me to do some work."

Two young men in old but not tattered clothes walked side by side on the mixed streets of the civilian area. There were many such people in Yizhou, most of whom were outsiders who made a living. They were young, passionate, had light in their eyes, and were full of hope for the future.

Such people will not attract other people's attention.

"Brother Zhao, what are we doing here?"

"If you call me Brother Zhao in this room, I won't blame you, but when I go out and put on this dress, what should you call me?"

"Ok?"

"Haha, just a joke. You have to call me Brother Zhao and I call you Xiao Fu. Do you understand?"

"Okay, Zhao, what are we doing here?"

"Find a yard that is big enough and dilapidated enough to be private but not too private."

Fu Yun was a little confused: "What is it used for?"

"Of course it's for people to live in."

"us?"

"No, it's you and forty thieves."

It is hard to find a yard that can accommodate forty people, but there are still yards that can accommodate more than ten or twenty people, so just find a few more.

Although it is easier to manage people by gathering them together, once they are exposed they can be easily caught in one fell swoop. However, this is the effect Zhao Yushu wants.

What he bought with his money was not the best, but the worst. When he first came to this world, the tragic scenes he saw in the ghost market of Dongdu always remained in his mind. None of these evil people should ever think of leaving Yizhou.

"Forty evil men will come in a few days. I need to use them to do something in Yizhou, but I may need to deal with many monks who cannot spare the time."

Fu Yun nodded: "I understand, I will keep an eye on them and make sure they can only go in the direction you want to go."

"You are a teachable kid! Besides, they are all extremely vicious criminals. I hope that after this is accomplished, none of them will be able to leave Yizhou. Of course, I will do this."

Fu Yun looked at Zhao Yushu in surprise and said, "I'll do it."

Zhao Yushu was even more surprised than Fu Yun, because he himself had no idea how much blood was on his hands and had long lost this kind of moral cleanliness, but Shushan did not easily enter the world, and Fu Yun did not kill many people.

"Okay, come on, you see, if we send someone here, we need to find a place like this to hide, where are our opponents?"

Zhao Yushu, like a teacher, taught Fu Yun step by step how to think.

“Of course they need it too.”

"I have to run some errands now, I'll leave the rest to you."

"It's just been rented out recently. It's crowded and secretive. I'll dig out places like this one by one."

"Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

With Fu Yun, a smart and clever helper, Zhao Yushu felt a lot more relaxed. Many things that he originally needed to do personally could now be entrusted to him without worry. Moreover, Fu Yun was a very strong cultivator. As long as he was not obsessed with love, he would have no problem protecting himself.

It would be even better if it was Lao Yang or Bujie who came.

Leaving Fu Yun to investigate the possible bases of other forces, Zhao Yushu went straight to the government office of Yizhou. Now, apart from the Red Lotus Sect Leader who was hiding somewhere and spying, there were three other forces that he had not yet found out: the people from Chang'an, the secular forces of Tubo, and the local tyrants of Yizhou.

There is no clue about the person from Chang'an for the time being, but the two secular forces behind are most likely related to the same person.

Cao Mansion.

Who exactly is this Cao Fu? Why is his family temple directly used as the base of the two major religious forces of Tubo? What is the relationship between this person and Tubo? I don't know these things myself.

But the fact that he can do it and dares to do it openly is enough to prove how powerful the Cao family is.

The residence of such a person would not be placed randomly, it must be near the Palace of the King of Shu and the Palace of Yizhou, which are the gathering areas for the powerful and wealthy.

He changed into the attire of a nobleman again. The coarse cloth clothes or Alibaba's identity were not suitable for activities in this area.

Zhao Yushu rented a white horse and swaggered towards the wealthy streets.

The streets were wide and clean, paved with fine bluestone slabs. There were even two open and underground drainage channels on the side of the street. The sanitary conditions were more than one or two levels higher than the civilian area I had just visited.

There are quite a lot of people here, but most of them are servants and boys from various mansions who come here to do shopping. Occasionally, there are luxurious carriages and sedan chairs, and young masters and young ladies from various families go out to enjoy the scenery surrounded by a large group of people.

Then Zhao Yushu discovered a big problem. As he swayed on his white horse, more and more people looked at him, with a mixture of curiosity, contempt and confusion in their eyes.

Why do they look at me like this?

Before he could think of an answer, a huge courtyard in the distance made Zhao Yushu withdraw his thoughts. On the lantern on the wall, there was a word "Cao" written on it.

Zhao Yushu rode his horse over and bumped into a group of sedan chairs leaving from the side door. Zhao Yushu plucked his ears and heard a fat lady whispering to her maid in one of the sedan chairs: "Whose boy is this? I have never seen him before. He doesn't even bring a servant with him when he goes out."

"Miss, I have never seen him before. He doesn't look like someone from our area."

"Let someone ask them later, don't tell them that those poor people down there may have stolen some clothes to do something illegal."

Damn, I've gone too far in pretending. Even if I pretend to be a beggar, I wouldn't be as conspicuous as I am now. Zhao Yushu's mind raced. This team came out of Cao's mansion. I wonder how many people with the surname Cao are on this street. Should I take a gamble?

The horse's head turned, and before the little maid could call for help, she saw a tall horse rushing straight towards her.

The two servants holding knives were stunned for a moment. How could someone dare to directly bump into the young lady on this street? However, they immediately drew out their swords and blocked the sedan chair.

"Who are you, you rascal? How dare you bump into the young lady! Get down here!"

The horse raised its head and stopped. Zhao Yushu bent down and ignored the two guards. He looked past them and looked straight at the fat lady in the sedan chair who was trembling with fear but still opened the curtain a little to stare at him: "I just saw the lady pointing at me. Is this the way to entertain guests in Yizhou?"

"Wait, wait for the guest? Who are you?"

The fat lady was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Zhao Yushu said.

"I came from Chang'an Academy, and I was ordered to come to Yizhou to do something. As for whose order I was following, I'm afraid I have to ask the young lady's elders."

Zhao Yushu pointed at the word Cao written on the lantern on the sedan chair and spoke confidently.

"Chang'an Academy? Looking for my uncle?"

My first reaction was uncle, not the legitimate daughter, but it doesn’t matter.

Zhao Yushu jumped off his horse, and the two guards were so frightened that they tensed up.

"Come here!" Old Zhao waved to a servant and patted the mark on the horse's butt: "Send it back for me, and the deposit will be your reward."

Zhao Yushu's domineering attitude made the whole team feel unsure.

"I'll stand here. Send two people back to ask and tell them that someone from the Li family of Chang'an Academy has come."
