"My Lord, a stranger has appeared in the central streets of Huang County, near the Guantian and factories of Huang County."

"Elaborate."

Tietou was standing in front of Mu Qing.

He recalled the man's appearance and behavior, which all matched the characteristics of the suspect that his master had mentioned.

"The visitor is a young man in his twenties. Every day he travels from the restaurant around Huang County to various factories or official fields.

This person held a feather fan and asked the people about Huang County government affairs and county officials in factories and farmlands. "

Tietou thought about the young man's appearance:

"He was wearing a long cloth gown, had no Huangxian accent, and spoke Mandarin, occasionally with a phrase or two from the Central Plains dialect."

Huang County has taken in a lot of refugees recently, and there might be some people with bad morals or thieves entering Huang County.

Mu Qing specifically asked Tietou to pay attention to whether there were any scum among the refugees taken in by Huang County.

In addition, the relationship between the refugees in Guangsha and other prefectures is very tense, and the situation outside is unpredictable. Mu Qing also asked people to pay attention to the existence of people like spies in this era.

If these two types of suspicious people exist, they must be reported to Mu Qing.

Huang County had sufficient food supplies, and there was a high probability that the refugees who had revolted would be defeated in their siege of the city and retreat back to Guangsha.

They retreated back to Guangsha, and as long as they paid a little attention to the rumors about Huang County's wealth, the refugee army might become interested in Huang County.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to check whether there are spies sent by the enemy among the refugees.

The refugees nowadays are a mixed bunch, and no one knows whether there will be any refugees among the rebel army.

The young man Tietou mentioned first went to the factory and then to Guantian.

Ordinary people or businessmen who come to Huangxian for business mostly go to the streets to inquire about factory work or to wholesale snowflake salt.

However, he had investigated the entire Huang County, and it seemed that this person's behavior was indeed suspicious.

Especially asking about the government affairs of Huang County.

Mu Qing has always been in charge of the government affairs of Huang County. Mu Shan, the designated county magistrate, is just a mascot. He knows so much and yet he is not from Huang County.

Mu Qing already had an 80% guess in his mind.

She asked Tietou to pay more attention to this man's whereabouts, but he didn't need to contact this young man for the next few days to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed.

The night is dark and windy.

Light cloud and wind.

Zhuge Huaian slept in a small room rented out in the restaurant, but he could not sleep well.

Instantly, Zhuge Huaian's hair stood on end, and with the keen sense of crisis of a staff member, he turned over.

The knife that hit Zhuge Huaian's neck fell directly onto the bed.

"Bang/"

The sound of fists hitting wooden boards woke Zhuge Huaian, who was a little sleepy.

"Who is coming!"

Zhuge Huaian shouted loudly.

The visitor didn't waste any time and ignored Zhuge Huaian's words. Instead, he took two steps and continued to rush towards the man who was huddled at the end of the bed.

His purpose was very clear, he rushed straight towards Zhuge Huaian.

Zhuge Huaian was shocked and reached out to touch the feather fan in his arms.

Under the dim moonlight, Zhuge Huaian, after his vision adjusted to the darkness, looked at the assassin.

The man was dressed in black, with half of his face covered by a black cloth, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

Zhuge Huaian saw another punch coming, the fan handle flipped, and a sharp knife slid out from the wooden handle of the feather fan.

Zhuge Huaian held the fan and stabbed at the man in black:

"I am Zhuge Huaian, the chief of staff of Anping Prefecture. Who are you?"

The man in black was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he still didn't respond and rushed towards Zhuge Huaian as he pleased.

The man in black retracted his fist, looked at the sharp knife, and pulled out a big knife from his side.

between collisions.

The moonlight shone on the knife, and its sharp edge was reflected directly into Zhuge Huaian's eyes.

A silver light flashed, and the sharp knife in Zhuge Huaian's hand broke.

Before Zhuge Huaian could even feel the feather fan in his hand, he was knocked unconscious by a knife attack.

When his consciousness became blurred, Zhuge Huaian had only one last thought in his heart.

This is Huang County, how could there be an assassin?

The man in black breathed a sigh of relief.

He had observed Zhuge Huaian for several days. This man had no fighting skills at all and was not a martial artist. He looked like a weak scholar. He actually dodged his attacks twice. It turned out that his master was right. He had been lax in practicing martial arts recently.

The man in black carried Zhuge Huaian on his back, and there was no sound where he landed. That night, he carried the man all the way to the county government office.

Tietou took off his mask. The mask given by the master had a special shape, but when it was covered, it blended into the darkness.

Mu Qing looked at Tietou and Zhuge Huaian in his arms.

It must be said that this black outfit and mask perfectly fit her stereotype of a black-clad assassin and a notorious bandit.

Ahem, I have a low-level taste.
