"What you need to do is to extract the useful information from the intelligence below and hand it over to me."

"Well, start with the thirteen inns, gambling houses, pleasure boats, and restaurants you own. Don't worry about making mistakes."

"I'll let Wanmei help you. You just need to do your brain work. Do you understand?" 410

"okay!"

Ah Zhu nodded seriously.

When Ah Zhu was in Murong's family, she had actually been exposed to intelligence work. She had experience in this area and was not a complete novice.

Intelligence work is very important, but we cannot be too hasty. It is not something that can be laid out just by talking.

This requires a process.

Zhao Wuxian was patient and waited for it to grow stronger.

At noon.

On Lake Taihu, the lake is shimmering and the water is clear.

A small boat floated by in the distance.

It slowly came closer and closer, cutting through the water surface and creating ripples.

On the boat.

Sitting there was a girl in a light red silk dress.

She holds the oars, graceful and quiet.

It was Ah Zhu who was driving the boat, sailing on the lake with Zhao Wuxian, returning to Suzhou together.

She was singing a cheerful Jiangnan tune.

As she sang, she would occasionally glance at Zhao Wuxian who was standing at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back.

The Wu dialect is soft and clear, with a tender throat.

It is really like the sound of flowing fish, which makes people feel intoxicated.

The meaning of the song is filled with the feelings of a young girl.

The admiration in her eyes adds a touch of charm.

The beauty is boating on the mirror-like lake, which is a beautiful picture that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

However, the singing was soon interrupted by the sounds of pursuit from the shore, causing Zhao Wuxian to frown slightly.

"catch him!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"You dare to come to our Taihe Building to steal things, you are tired of living!"

Amidst the faint sounds of shouting and cursing.

Four or five big men and a thin figure were chasing along the long embankment along the lakeshore.

The thin figure in front was extremely flexible, as if he had some martial arts skills, his steps were brisk and his movements were quite good.

Like a lithe cat, it dodged left and right, making those big men look very clumsy and causing laughter from passers-by.

The escaping figure was quite naughty.

After running for a while, I clearly ran far away, but I just didn't walk away.

He even turned around, pulled his eyelids, stuck out his tongue, and made faces at those big men.

Can this be tolerated?

The big men's faces turned red and their necks became thick. They were so angry that they chased more fiercely.

Abruptly.

A tall and thin old man appeared from the side.

He slapped out lightly with his palm, and his internal force swept through, knocking the thin figure into the lake, splashing water.

Chapter 136: Little Cook Huang Rong, a slap in the face, are you teaching me how to do things?

"Hahaha, now you're still running?"

The four or five big men who had chased after them were standing on the shore, panting and laughing.

This little thief is really hateful.

Made them look ridiculous.

Now seeing him fall into the water, I am naturally happy.

"It has to be Manager Luo. If he doesn't take action, then that's fine!"

Taihelou is the largest restaurant in Gusu City and one of the two major restaurant chains in the Song Dynasty.

The other one is Fanlou, also known as Fenglelou.

These two restaurants are famous for their high-end luxury and have many wealthy customers. They also have branches in major cities in the Song Dynasty.

The grey-shirted old man is Luo Heng, the chief guard of Gusu Taihe Tower.

Hearing the big man's flattery, Luo Heng smiled and said, "No, it was just a coincidence. Why are you chasing him?"

A big man said, "A guest said that this little thief stole his purse when he entered the building."

"Ok?"

Luo Heng frowned and said, "So you're a thief. You dare to come to my Taihe Building to steal things. You must be tired of living!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

At this time, a cry for help was heard.

In the lake.

The thin figure floated up and down, as if he could not swim, struggling and slapping the water.

"Hey, someone fell into the water!"

"Who will go down to rescue him?"

On the shore, passers-by came over, and a few enthusiastic men rolled up their sleeves, ready to jump into the water to save people.

At this time.

Luo Heng snorted coldly and said loudly: "Everyone, the person who fell into the water was a thief who stole something from my Taihe Building!"

"What? Thief?"

After being surprised, the passers-by looked into the water with a bit more disgust.

This petty thief is the most annoying person.

"It turns out to be the chief steward of Taihe Tower, Luo!"

Some people also recognized Luo Heng and saluted him with their fists.

Luo Heng just stood with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly as a return gesture, and said slowly and calmly: "Anyone who goes into the water to save him will be an enemy of my Taihe Tower!"

His tone was not harsh, but it made the passionate people around him feel a chill in their hearts and fear.

Taihe Tower is very famous in Gusu City. Not only does it have exquisite dishes but also excellent wines. It is a place where the upper class entertain guests.

In places like this, the people you make friends with are often high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and famous people.

Whenever they say something, there will always be friends to help them.

Offending Taihe Tower for a thief?

On the lake.

Ah Zhu frowned slightly when she heard such a domineering and ruthless behavior.

Even if that person really stole something.

We shouldn't take human life so lightly, right?

Are you going to watch him drown?

Ah Zhu glanced at the place where the man fell into the water. She couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Your Highness, that man can swim!"

Ah Zhu grew up by the Taihu Lake and is very good at swimming.

She found that the person who fell into the water seemed to be shouting for help and looked like he was about to drown, but he was always floating on the water.

Zhao WuXian smiled faintly and said, "Before she fell into the water, she glanced at us a few times!"

"Hmm? Your Highness, are you saying that person's target is us?"

Ah Zhu immediately became alert and looked over there again, and found that although the other party was shouting towards the shore, he was actually observing them.

“She was chasing us just now, and that sneak attack was also taken by her on purpose,” Zhao Wuxian said.

Ah Zhu sighed and said ashamedly, "I was careless!"

Zhao Wuxian said: "You have to be careful. There will always be people in the martial arts world who take advantage of others' kindness to achieve their own goals."

Ah Zhu nodded and said, "Ah Zhu understands!"

Ah Zhu is very obedient and can be trained slowly.

When it comes to intelligence, loyalty sometimes takes precedence over ability.

Zhao WuXian said: "Row the boat over there."

"Ok?"

Ah Zhu was puzzled, but still rowed the boat towards the place where the man fell into the water.

"Taihe Building!"

Zhao Wuxian smiled softly.

After taking over the businesses of the Lu and Murong families, he planned to integrate them together to create the brand of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion.
