I have a city that never sleeps

As soon as Chu Zhi's figure appeared, the lobby of the restaurant was completely silent.

Everyone looked at the familiar face in astonishment, and after a few breaths, there was an uproar!

"Hero Chu?!"

"It's really Hero Chu, and he came in person?!"

"Hero Chu is here, my God, I'm not dreaming!"

In an instant, Chu Zhi was surrounded by crowds in all directions. Everyone was surprised and happy, and they all stood up and walked to him, expressing their excitement and joy in their hearts.

The commotion even caught the attention of passers-by outside the restaurant. They looked inside the restaurant curiously. Some of them burst into laughter and couldn't wait to squeeze into the building. So he asked: "Hero Chu? Which Hero Chu?"

"Which other hero Chu!" The person he asked gave him a blank look, "The only person in this Jianghu who can be honored as the hero Chu by everyone is of course the one from the city that never sleeps!"

This person suddenly realized, and smirked with naked eyes: "It's really the great hero Chu?! He actually showed up, my God, what auspicious day it is today, I'm so lucky!"

Everyone knows that Chu Zhi has been sought out by the entire Jianghu recently because of the hard-to-buy quota for entering the city that never sleeps.

In order to avoid this kind of trouble, Chu Zhi hid and almost never showed himself in front of people.

But today Chu Zhi appeared openly and aboveboard!

what does that mean!

This means that they have another chance to ask about the admission quota for the city that never sleeps!

Who is not excited about this! !

As a result, the people nearby were all excited, looking at Chu Zhi with shiny eyes, as if they were looking at a piece of fat that was dripping with oil.

Chu Zhi greeted everyone who came to say hello with clasped fists. His attitude was the same, which made people feel quite sincere. This made Chen Xiao quite uncomfortable. Although Chu Zhi was sitting opposite him, he always felt that Chu Zhi was completely indifferent. Divided into two worlds with him, one is sought after by thousands of people, and the other does not cause any waves at all.

Chen Xiao, whose heart was filled with jealousy, couldn't help but sneered, and said with a strange air, "Hero Chu is quite majestic, you won't forget why you came here, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the enthusiastic atmosphere suddenly became a little bit cold, and everyone noticed that there was an unknown person sitting opposite Chu Zhi, and they were puzzled.

Chu Zhi was not angry, but took the opportunity to stop the greetings, and explained with a smile: "Yes, everyone, today I am only here for the Intelligence Pavilion, please discuss other matters later."

He looked at Chen Xiao, lifted up his robe and sat down again: "I've been waiting for a long time, Your Excellency is Chen Xiao, I happen to be working nearby, so I'll come to answer your question in person."

"What you want to ask is what big things did you do when you were 13, is that right?"

As he clarified his purpose in a few sentences, the onlookers suddenly realized, and then sneered.

What is the purpose of this person spending money to buy their intelligence, of course they know!

It is nothing more than distrusting the information of the city that never sleeps, deliberately making things difficult for him, and even brazenly choosing secrets that he only knows!Hateful!

The disgusted gaze from the side almost pierced Chen Xiao. The muscles on Chen Xiao's face stiffened and moved, cold sweat poured out from his forehead, and he suddenly felt like he was riding a tiger.

He originally thought that only a few people would know about his making things difficult for Nightless City, and it would be fine even if he came out in person, but he didn't expect Chu Zhi to appear in person like this, directly ruining his plan!

He cast a deadly glance at Chu Zhi, but he didn't dare to be too obvious. He extremely suspected that Chu Zhi's appearance was entirely intentional.

But now, it is absolutely impossible to make an apology. Only by finding the loopholes in the city that never sleeps can he gain a foothold and even become famous in the arena.

Therefore, Chen Xiao stuck his neck and proceeded with the plan: "Not bad!"

"As long as you can answer the one big thing I did when I was 13 years old, I will admit that the omnipotent intelligence pavilion in the mouth of the city that never sleeps is true. Do you dare to say it?!"

Under the sudden change in everyone's eyes, Chu Zhi replied frankly: "I come here, doesn't it mean everything?"

"Hero Chu must think carefully." Chen Xiao sarcastically said, "I am the only one who knows about this matter. If I guess wrong, I will publicize the results. Don't be angry then."

In the eyes of everyone in the world, it was an unreasonable temptation, but Chu Zhi seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, and smiled: "Don't worry, I never speak nonsense. I said that the Intelligence Pavilion knows the world's affairs, so this matter It must be true!"

Such a firm tone made everyone even more curious. Could it be that the city that never sleeps can really detect the life of an ordinary person, and it is still in a short period of time!

So everyone quieted down and watched what happened next.

I saw that Chu Zhi first poured a cup of tea for himself, moistened his throat, and a sly light appeared in his eyes:

"I not only know that you were 13 years old, but also that you were born outside Luoyang City. Your ancestors were all farmers. Your father died, your mother was blind, and you lived in poverty. The local county magistrate oppressed the people and always charged 13% more taxes. The people are miserable. So when you were [-] years old, you planned an operation carefully, put a sack on the head of the county magistrate, beat him with a sap, and avenged the hatred in your heart, am I right?"

……

The opposite party failed to reply for a long time, and everyone looked up suspiciously, only to see Chen Xiao, who was full of arrogance just now, opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at Chu Zhi in disbelief.

"You..." He only uttered one word, and immediately closed his mouth soberly, but there was still an uneasy light in his eyes, and he even accidentally knocked over the teacup when he reached out to touch the tea.

This appearance obviously made everyone feel the contrast, and they all speculated whether Chu Daxia was really right!

That's really a god!

Chen Xiao was really shocked physically and mentally at this time. He never thought that the secret that only he knew back then was really guessed by Chu Zhi.

No, this is definitely not speculation, Chu Zhi knows the truth!He seemed to be watching from the side, knowing all the details clearly!

Chen Xiao's legs and feet were weak. After the initial shock, unwillingness and panic emerged in his chest. If he admits that what Chu Zhi said is right, then everything he does will become the laughing stock of everyone.

No, he must not admit it!Anyway, there is no evidence for things!

Just as he was about to adjust his expression and deny the matter to death, Chu Zhi said again at this moment: "It's a pity, you think no one knows about this, the sky. However, the county magistrate still found evidence of your actions. He arrested your father and wanted to charge you for questioning. Poor your father loved his son, and he automatically admitted that he did this. He was immediately beheaded by the angry county magistrate! "

"Impossible!" Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Xiao stood up abruptly, his eyes flushed, "It's ridiculous! My father left us mother and son and accidentally fell off the cliff to die. This has something to do with it." what relationship!"

This sentence made everyone's eyes completely different from before, and Chen Xiao realized after a while that he was equivalent to admitting Chu Zhi's words in disguise!

Is this the original trap? !

Chen Xiao secretly gritted his teeth, hating Chu Zhi for being so cunning, but Chu Zhi shook his head, with a hint of emotion on his face: "Your mother was devastated when she received the news, but she was afraid that you would blame yourself physically and mentally, and only said that your father abandoned you. The two of you asked you to stop thinking about him, so in order not to be hated by the county magistrate, you quickly left your hometown and went to live in Luoyang City."

"How many things they have done for you, but you have changed your personality and stopped going to school because of your father's departure. Afterwards, you became a well-known bully by cheating and abducting all kinds of crimes. Poor your mother who is crying at home every day and worrying about your comfort. Blind In a blink of an eye, you repay their kindness like this..."

"Impossible!!! You lied to me!!"

At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly burst into flames, and slammed the teapot on the table into pieces.

He seemed to be in a state of madness, lost his reason, and relied on the anger in his chest, "My father abandoned us, he is a scum! He couldn't die for me, and I didn't do anything Anyone knows, no one knows!!"

Putting down these words, he ran out of the door unsteadily, crying and laughing like crazy, and disappeared.

Everyone saw him leave, and felt a sigh of relief in their hearts. Regardless of whether what Chu Zhi said was true or not, what Chen Xiao did when he was 13 years old must be true.

As long as Chu Zhi is right, the rest is not their concern.

"I hope that Chen Xiao can change his mind and be a good man after learning the truth, and don't disappoint his father's love for him."

"Yeah, it's really heart-wrenching to hear about it. I just hope he can take good care of his mother."

Speaking of this, someone changed the subject and immediately praised: "Sleepless City also knows about this kind of concealment. It is indeed an intelligence pavilion that understands the world's affairs. I really admire it!"

"That's right, does Night City really know everything in the sky and on the earth?"

One sentence expresses the question that everyone agrees with.

Does this city that never sleeps really know everything?

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Chu Zhi picked up the fragments on the ground that Chen Xiao shattered, rubbed his chin and smiled: "Well, the intelligence pavilion only knows the past, and needs the name of the person involved, about nine Then you can know all the information you have achieved.”

"Hiss—" Someone gasped suddenly.

Just need to know the name?It's that simple? ?

Amazing, really amazing, how does this intelligence pavilion detect information!Is it possible that everyone in the world has his eyeliner? ?

Some people's hearts tightened, while others showed joy.

But no matter which one, the overwhelming compliments still follow:

"As expected of the city that never sleeps, only the city that never sleeps can have such a mysterious intelligence pavilion!!"

"Yes, now I see who dares to question the authenticity of the Intelligence Pavilion. I will be the first to beat him up as soon as I roll up my sleeves. The previous events have proved everything!"

"It's worth buying a world's secrets with ten thousand taels of silver! It's totally worth it! Hahahaha, now we have the confidence in our hearts! Those who know the conspiracy and tricks all day long have to think about it, is this information really foolproof!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Chu Zhi also nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

As early as when Ji Wuxin received the note, she realized that the note was just a temptation.

However, he didn't find it difficult. Instead, he felt that someone had finally questioned it, so Chu Zhi's personal arrival was a very necessary action.

If he tells the confidential information face to face with his reputation, no one will question the intelligence cabinet's ability, and it will also make the intelligence cabinet's reputation even more publicized.

Judging from the results, this goal has indeed been achieved, and it has also brought the mystery of the city that never sleeps to a higher level, right...

Seeing the situation of being completely unable to get out surrounded by everyone, Chu Zhi scratched his head, a little dumbfounded.

"Hero Chu, when will the quota for the city that never sleeps be opened again!"

"Hero Chu, I'm Jiang Yu, and I have the same surname as City Lord Jiang. I wonder if I can go to Nightless City to visit the City Lord in person... Would you like a glass of wine by the way?"

"Hero Chu, I grew up listening to your reputation. My biggest wish is to visit the city that never sleeps. I beg you to give me a chance!"

All kinds of reasons came into his ears, which made Chu Zhi feel helpless. These people really didn't care about anything in order to enter the city that never sleeps, and they stalked him relentlessly.

He could only respond: "Immediately! Immediately! There will be [-] places open this time, so don't worry!"

"Four hundred?! The total number of people in the Jianghu is less than four million. Isn't four hundred just a way to send a beggar!" Suddenly someone beat their chest and stamped their feet.

Chu Zhi's side was bustling and constantly surrounded by people, but the other seats in the restaurant were deserted, almost no one was there.

Therefore, a person who was sitting on the innermost side and dressed as a scholar was very conspicuous among them.

Seeing that he was just looking at the sea of ​​people curiously and never participated, someone who knew him couldn't help but asked, "Brother Xu Ying, why is he sitting here alone? Fight for it! What if I and other scholars can also enter the city that never sleeps?"

The scholar known as Xu Ying shook his head with a wry smile, and refused: "So what if I can get a quota, my family is poor, and I can't pay the 1000 taels of silver that I first entered the city, so there is no need to join in the fun."

The person who asked the question obviously knew his family background, so he sighed and said: "It's true, most people in the world are rich, but scholars like me are poor. Even if we meet such a good relationship, we can't grasp it!"

Xu Ying's eyes were lonely, but she forced a smile to comfort her: "It's also because I don't have this fate...Let's go, it won't help here."

He stood up, took one last nostalgic look at Chu Zhi who was surrounded by the crowd, and planned to get up and leave.

However, there were too many people outside the door desperately trying to get in touch with Chu Zhi, pushing and bumping into each other was unavoidable, a big man was accidentally stepped on by Xu Ying, and immediately shouted loudly: "Hey! Don't you have eyes!"

Xu Ying was taken aback, and quickly saluted and apologized. The big man glanced at him, but sneered with disdain: "A poor scholar also wants to get a place to enter the city that never sleeps? Why is it so crowded, can you afford the money! It's ridiculous!"

These words attracted the attention of the others, and when they saw Xu Ying's washed white gown and patched belt, they all rolled their eyes.

This kind of poor people still want to strike up a conversation with Chu Daxia, do they want to prostitute for nothing?

Is the city that never sleeps a place he can enter!

When Xu Ying was ridiculed by him, a thin layer of anger immediately appeared on her face, but he could not refute. He could only stand there in embarrassment and bit his lip, letting others point and point.

At this moment, he hated that he was just a poor scholar, and wanted to declare loudly that even a scholar has dignity, so why can't he be here!

But he couldn't say it in the end, he turned his head unbearably, and wanted to escape from this place.

But a hand stopped him.

He turned his head a little angrily, and was stunned for a moment.

I saw Chu Zhi appear beside him at some time, looking at him with concern: "This brother is injured?"

"No, no." It was the first time that Xu Ying had such a close contact with a celebrity in the world, and Xu Ying was stunned, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

He only saw Chu Zhiyang smiled at him, and then bowed his hands to everyone: "Everyone, don't say that, scholars, peasants, businessmen and chivalrous men are all treated equally in the eyes of the city that never sleeps, whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary person. Beggars, there will be no discrimination in the city that never sleeps."

Everyone remembered that the city that never sleeps refused to allow Prime Minister Zuo to enter, and immediately nodded in agreement. Indeed, the city that never sleeps always treats people equally, regardless of high or low.

"As long as there is money, in principle, the city that never sleeps will open its doors, but... what you said made me suddenly realize." Chu Zhi shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, some people who have read poetry and books may not be able to pay the money, and even I can’t afford to buy the things inside, but there are many places in the city that never sleeps that are only open to scholars, so these places will be much cooler. We should think of a good way!”

Following his words, Xu Ying's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if realizing what he was going to say.

Sure enough, after a brief silence, Chu Zhi said in a deep voice: "I will discuss with the city lord and choose some methods that only scholars can enter. Of course, the money inside will not give them preferential treatment, but they can be exchanged for other things or important things. For the exchange, there is a clear contract in hand, please rest assured."

When he said this, even if some people were dissatisfied, they couldn't say much, but the majority of scholars cried with joy when they heard the news. They finally got the chance to enter the city that never sleeps!

Xu Ying's face was overjoyed, and she was extremely moved. Daxia Chu would put such a small person like him in his heart, and even proposed a practical solution. God, he thought he was dreaming!

This is almost Xu Ying's luckiest day, and it can also be said to be the luckiest day for most scholars.

When the news got out, everyone had a lot of opinions on the actions of the Nightless City. Some people speculated whether this was a signal that the Nightless City wanted to win over scholars and train future officials of the court. Why didn't Night City come to win him over because he was so good!

...But no matter what, people can only pay attention to whether they can enter the city that never sleeps, and they can't control so much other things!

As for Jiang Feng, he was also extremely busy during this time, and he had decided to delay the opening of the quota for the city that never sleeps.

Naturally, he was busy with the Intelligence Pavilion. Anyone who could find the Chuyi Gang and was interested in the Intelligence Pavilion would send some information to Everbright City to answer, and the workload suddenly became heavy.

If they are asking about major events in the world, Jiang Feng can still answer fluently by cheating on the memory of the game, but when it comes to personal privacy, Jiang Feng needs to send a vest to find this person and use identification techniques to find out from his information. clue.

But now his vest can only call two in total, Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhi, but facing dozens of pieces of information and searching for them one by one is simply crazy.

Therefore, generally he does not know that he feels tricky information and uses a high price to drive everyone away, leaving only some easy-to-obtain information to earn some money.

Fortunately, after Chen Xiao's incident, everyone had a new understanding of the Intelligence Pavilion's methods, and stopped sending out frequent temptations, which reduced a lot of trouble.

Maintaining the speed of solving one intelligence a day, Jiang Feng has been manipulating the vest to go out during this time.

But today, he received two interesting news.

One of them is the regular contact from Prince Zhao Qi Huan. It is said that the gold mountain in the west is being mined smoothly, so that a satisfactory gold mine can be obtained within a month, but he also introduced the current situation of the court in the letter. In terms of the situation, it is said that although the Prime Minister of the Left did not say anything about the city's clear rejection, he was secretly suppressing the officials who supported the city.

This was in Jiang Feng's expectation, and Jiang Feng didn't pay much attention to it, but the mechanism bird brought him a question that interested him very much:

[Who killed my son, please answer the city lord! ——Yu Jinghui]

Everyone in the world knows Yu Jinghui. He is a well-known general under the command of the previous emperor, and his prestige is extremely strong.

He only got a son in his middle age, and he held it in his palm like a treasure, but this child was framed by someone and died of poisoning.

General Yu was devastated and stayed away from the court since then. It can be said that if the court had his presence, the left and right ministers would not be able to grasp the power.

In the plot of "Dream Back to Ancient Times", Yu Jinghui lost his beloved son and was depressed, but accidentally met Zhang Ling who was fleeing. Because of pity for Zhang Ling's identity, he adopted Zhang Ling as his adopted son. It can be said that it was for Zhang Ling Ling Er opened up a protective umbrella.

In order to thank him, Zhang Ling specially investigated the truth about the death of Yu Jinghui's youngest son. It was the murderous hands of a small eunuch Zuo Xiangtuo, so the conflict between Zhang Ling and Zuo Xiang became visibly intensified.

Although Jiang Feng only knew the general plot, when faced with Jing Hui's question, he was immediately full of confidence and wished he could write out: I can answer this question!

Since the other party had a grudge against Prime Minister Zuo, he was Jiang Feng's teammate. It was rare for him to save some money for Yu Jinghui and answer this question.

Jiang Feng was very curious about how the great general would deal with Zuo Xiang. After all, Yu Jinghui's power was far inferior to Zuo Xiang's, and it must be difficult to make a move, so he paid special attention to it.

Unexpectedly, shortly after replying to the message, he received another note from Yu Jinghui.

It's just that this time it's not spending money to buy information, but a request to assassinate the poisoned eunuch in the city that never sleeps!

This made Jiang Feng completely interested. What Yu Jinghui was talking about was not Ye Jianyi's upright one-on-one duel, but sending someone to assassinate him secretly, without anyone noticing it!

Leaving aside how he was convinced that the city that never sleeps has such means, Jiang Feng was very moved by the conditions behind it.

[If this is done, I will listen to your orders from all over the house, I hope you can kill the murderer of my son! 】

once?

Don't look at it once, but Yu Jinghui has a soldier talisman in his hand. If 10,000+ people stand there, the crowd tactics can swallow the enemy.

Even though the city that never sleeps may not be useful, it is a very good choice as the help of Prince Zhao.

And just go to the palace to kill a little eunuch, isn't it too easy?

The more Jiang Feng thought about it, the more he felt that he could get a big deal, so he agreed to his request with a swipe of a pen, and by the way, he also included the whole plan for the left minister to instruct the little eunuch to poison.

Relying on the original book, Jiang Feng remembered that the eunuch named Xiao Shunzi was working next to the little emperor at this time, and he seemed to be one of the eyes sent by the left minister to monitor the emperor.

And every night, he would patrol near the emperor's bedroom, and that was also a good time to strike.

Find the map of the palace from the map, and after careful planning again, Jiang Feng asked Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhi to hang up and meditate temporarily, and officially deployed Ji Wuxin's vest.

Ji Wuxin had never pretended to be a woman, her hair was pulled up casually, her face was covered, and she looked extremely chic in a black dress.

This is the first time he has gone out to do missions as a man, how should I put it...it is more comfortable to be paralyzed at home.

But there is no way, everything is to earn a lot of money.

He packed up all the poisoned daggers, ropes, and hidden weapons, and then, in the dead of night, he used lightness kung fu dexterously like a cat, and disappeared on the beam of the house in the dark night.
