Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 447 Action!

The Qiqi Pavilion acted quickly. After Xiao Ran roughly drew the appearance of Huang Chao and Deng Wenzhu, not long after, furtive figures appeared in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, sneaking through walls and underground and starting to search everywhere.

It took about five or six minutes for someone to find Huang Chao and his group.

With Xiao Ran around, the ghosts who came to report the news no longer needed to use complicated and tedious methods to convey information. They could just come directly to Xiao Ran and speak to him using lip language.

The speed is simple and convenient, and it also provides Manager Liu with a good case for on-site observation and learning.

Soon, all the information about the yellow tide was sorted out.

Fulai Inn, there are seven people in total.

One of them was held in solitary confinement and guarded by four other people.

Although his freedom was restricted, he was fed with delicious food every day, and sometimes he was even given two girls to accompany him. He was treated very well.

I learned from the guard that this person's name is Shen Xuanjun.

When Xiao Ran first heard the name, he didn't feel anything was wrong.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that this name is familiar.

Finally, he slapped his head and said, "Hey, isn't it that the young master of the Shen family in Wancheng who is trying to snatch Gao Yuting from me?"

Ever since that bastard Shen Xuanjun proposed marriage to the Shen family last time, Big Brother Lu Cheng took action and uprooted all the bandits that the Shen family had kept in captivity for many years.

Those were all the Shen family's hidden trump cards, waiting for the time when the world was in chaos so that they could rise up, occupy Wancheng, and look down on the world.

From then on, the Shen family was deserted overnight. Apparently, they were worried about being purged by Lu Cheng, so they all fled.

Xiao Ran was about to forget about this person, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

This guy was brought here by Huang Chao and was provided with good food and drink. It was obvious that he couldn't hold back his fart, and there was a high probability that he was coming for him.

This guy did a lot of things with Yu Ting and the others in Wancheng, and he knew a little about himself and Yu Ting, and the most important thing was his identity.

If they stood up at the critical moment, Xiao Ran and Yu Ting would probably become the rats crossing the street that everyone would shout and beat.

"Okay, okay, Huang Chao, you really have a brain."

In his heart, Xiao Ran began to re-evaluate this great general.

But since I had already discovered the trick in advance, how could I let him get his wish?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran took out a handful of Yin banknotes and distributed them to the intelligence ghosts in the hall.

Let them closely monitor the whereabouts of Huang Chao and others. It would be best if all the movements of the seven people including Huang Chao were monitored 24 hours a day.

Then he summoned some ghosts and asked them to help him find out two other things.

The first thing was to find a lama. Although he had no good looks, he was a very skilled martial artist. He was also a playboy and a very lustful monk.

This can be easily determined from the signs that the lama had flirted with his wife.

There probably aren't many lamas who meet this requirement.

The second thing was the news about the Zou family, Huaxue Temple, and the abducted children.

Xiao Ran specially took out a lot of Yin banknotes as rewards for these ghosts.

Originally these ghosts had a very strong liking for the Amazing Pavilion, and even a sense of belonging. Now that Xiao Ran was giving out large amounts of ghost money, the effect was even better.

In fact, there was no need to inquire about the Zou family's information. After a while, the ghosts of several children were brought to Xiao Ran.

These children were killed by the Zou family, and they knew too much about the Zou family.

Xiao Ran picked an older boy and asked him to tell her the information he knew.

It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't said it, but after he said it, Xiao Ran felt really sick.

The Zou family is far more disgusting than he imagined.

Because there are many remote sects in Chang'an, these sects often need some special equipment to make rituals.

It only takes ten taels of silver to buy a pair of eyes from a young girl.

Only twenty taels of silver would give you a complete skeleton.

For thirty taels of silver, one can obtain the skull of a woman. As all the instruments need to remain spiritual, the woman must remain awake throughout the entire process.

In order to make money, people are no different from animals and pigs in the market to them.

It is no exaggeration to describe these behaviors as insane.

Behind these unscrupulous actions of the Zou family, the interests of many forces are involved.

That's right, even if the Zou family has lost all conscience, no one dares to touch them.

A bad guy once reported the Zou family, and the next day, the whole family was killed, leaving only a daughter, who was chopped to pieces and looked like a ghost.

After that, the bad guy disappeared without a trace with the child.

Chang'an is the territory of the Zou family. The emperor is the emperor during the day, and at night, it is the Zou family's world.

In addition, there seems to be a master in the Zou family. Over the years, there have been people who wanted to take revenge on the Zou family.

But even a top-notch master would never come out after entering the Zou family’s gate.

It’s just that people from the Zou family never get involved in the gossip in the underworld, so there are very few things about the Zou family in the underworld.

"Big brother, can you please do me a favor?"

The boy opened his mouth and spoke to Xiao Ran.

"what?"

"Kill someone."

Xiao Ran was not surprised to hear the boy's request: "Is he from the Zou family?"

"No, it's my sister."

The boy shook his head and said something shocking. Xiao Ran was very surprised and asked, "Why?" "The emperor wants to build an underground palace. I have seen those children who were made into sky lanterns. They had boiling tung oil poured into their stomachs and died in agony. If you can't save her, just kill her. At least she won't have to suffer if she dies."

Hearing the boy's words, Xiao Ran's hands couldn't help but tremble, and a sudden chill arose in his heart.

"These beasts!!"

For the first time, Xiao Ran felt that compared with these people, Huang Chao was considered a good person.

Taking out a stack of Yin notes and handing it to the child, Xiao Ran did not agree to him, but just said: "I'll try my best."

After the boy left, Xiao Ran sat on a chair, feeling as if there was a huge stone stuffed in his heart. The stone was stuck in his chest and also in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Big brother!"

At this time, the boy who had just left suddenly turned back, as if he remembered something important.

Xiao Ran tried her best to make her expression look less ugly and looked up at the boy: "Anything else?"

"There is a monster in the Zou family, you must be careful."

"Monster? What kind of monster?"

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen it, but one time I wanted to see my sister, but when I was halfway there, I found that there was no one in the Zou family mansion.

There was only a cry.

I followed the direction of the crying sound and saw a shadow that had swallowed several children into its stomach, eating up even their souls.

Later, I heard people from the Zou family say that this was the ancestor they worshipped and was the patron saint of their Zou family.”

The boy recalled what happened that night with horror in his eyes.

"Big brother, you must be careful."

After the boy finished speaking, he said goodbye to Xiao Ran again and left in a hurry.

"Guardian?"

Xiao Ran frowned. It seemed that just as Wu Man said, the Zou family’s water was indeed very deep.

But even if it is a dangerous place, Xiao Ran is determined to go in and take a look.

After thinking it over, Xiao Ran came up with a good idea, but this plan required careful planning.

For the next day, Xiao Ran stayed in the Amazing Pavilion, looking through the intelligence that Manager Liu had recorded during this period of time.

It was not until late at night during the curfew that a ghost slipped in from outside and reported some information about Huang Chao to Xiao Ran.

It was said that Huang Chao went out alone, but no one knew where he went, and they couldn't catch up with Huang Chao.

"Yeah, it's okay, just keep watching the others."

Judging from the situation of his fight with Huang Chao today, this guy might have already entered the realm of Tongxuan.

Not to mention these ghosts, even Xiao Ran might not be able to keep up with him.

So Xiao Ran was not disappointed about this, and it even met the standards he expected.

Putting down the brush in his hand, Xiao Ran turned around and changed into a night outfit.

Since Huang Chao has gone out to do some business, it's time for him to move around.

Doesn't this guy want to be a good person?

Today Xiao Ran will let him be a good person to the end.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Ran flipped out of the window and jumped onto the roof.

I looked around the streets. The streets were eerily quiet. Under curfew, only patrolling figures in the distance were patrolling the streets with torches.

Xiao Ran's feet were as fast as the wind, following the steps he learned from the monk and running towards the east of the city.

This time, Xiao Ran focused on the exquisite aspects of this set of footwork. He felt that the power came from his feet and every step was like a divine wind. He really walked faster and faster.

In a moment, they arrived at the city wall on the east side of the city.

"This monk is really reliable. At least this set of footwork is many times better than ordinary Qinggong. The set of body movement of drifting with the wind is not even close to it."

After a burst of praise in Xiao Ran's heart.

Then he glanced and saw that the lights were on behind a nearby shop. If he listened carefully, he could hear shouting and gambling coming from inside.

According to the information collected by Manager Liu, this place is the gambling house run by the Zou family.

Don't underestimate this gambling house. Its daily turnover is in the hundreds of thousands of taels, and it is the goose that lays golden eggs in the eyes of the Zou family.

Xiao Ran took off the mask and casually took out a small makeup mirror from the space.

"I haven't used this thing for a long time. I didn't expect it would come in handy today."

Xiao Ran held the mirror, pointed it at his face, and silently recited Huang Chao's new name, Zhang Wumeng.

When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Ran in the mirror had changed. A face exactly like Huang Chao appeared in the mirror...
