After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

Tong Jia, who was originally worried about not being able to find Rong Xinhua and the old lady of the Rong family, instantly became cheerful after hearing Diao Ren's words.

If you can't find Rong Xinhua, it would be a good idea to find Rong Xinzhi first.

She wanted to go into the tailor shop to find Rong Xinzhi, but Yang Jixia grabbed her arm.

He asked Diao Ren, "Did you greet her in the tailor shop just now? Did she see you?"

Diao Ren thought for a moment and said, "No, I was outside the counter. Miss Xiaozhi and the others were in the fitting room inside the counter. I only saw them because the curtain was not drawn properly."

Yang Jixia nodded and said, "Diao Ren, if you're not in a hurry to go back, just keep an eye on them for a while while I find someone to take over from you. Be careful not to let them find you.

The man may have a weapon in his hand, so you have to be careful and just know where they are.

Half an hour. If we haven't returned in half an hour and they are leaving again, you should try to catch up. Then we will meet at the clock tower near the train station."

Although Diao Ren was confused, he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded in agreement.

After Yang Jixia sent Tong Jia back to the hotel, he went out alone.

Tong Jia knew that he was going to contact the organization's remaining manpower in the provincial capital.

After two hours of waiting, Yang Jixia came over and took them to a house outside the train station.

Diao Ren and two other young men who had never met each other had already been waiting here. When they saw them coming, they stood up and greeted them.

Yang Jixia said, "Everyone please sit down. Diao Ren, tell me about your tracking first."

Diao Ren, who had originally wanted to ask about Tian Ma's recent situation, had no choice but to sit next to her and replied, "I followed Miss Xiaozhi and the mother and son from the tailor shop all the way to the overpass. There were too many forks in the road there, and I was unfamiliar with the roads and couldn't see them all, so I lost them.

However, judging by their conversation, they should be living in the area around the overpass."

"Xiao Ren, what are you doing in the provincial capital?" asked Tian's mother.

Diao Ren said, "My young master asked me to come look for my in-laws' eldest young master, but the foreign company was closed and I couldn't find him. Instead, I happened to run into Mr. and Mrs. Yang.

Godmother, we haven't seen each other for just a few days, how come you have lost so much weight?

Tian Ma glanced at Yang Jixia and asked, "Sir, is there anything else you need me and Xiaoren for? If not, I'll take Xiaoting and Xiaoren out to talk. Is that okay with you?"

Yang Jixia waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, and buy some food and drinks while you're at it."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Mother Tian agreed and took Xiaoting and Diao Ren out of the house.

As soon as they left the house, Tian Ma whispered to the two of them, "As servants, we should know as little as possible about the master's affairs. It's no good knowing too much.

Come with me to buy some groceries. Let's pick out what you two like to eat. Let's go!"

In fact, she didn't want the two people to hear the specific content of what Yang Jixia and the others were going to discuss later, so she found a reason to bring these two people outside the organization out.

But to Diao Ren and Xiao Ting, what she said seemed like an expression of her protection for the two of them.

Whether it was Diao Ren, who had already planned to take care of Tian Ma as her own mother, or Xiao Ting, who had only spent one day with Tian Ma, both became more trusting and dependent on Tian Ma because of this sentence.

Also, because Tian's mother only pulled the two of them out of the house, they both felt that they were special in Tian's mother's heart. Although it was the first time they met each other, they did not feel too unfamiliar with each other.

Here, the three of them were seizing the opportunity to go shopping at the last market before the New Year. Over there, Yang Jixia and the others had already integrated the information they had currently obtained and started to analyze and formulate a plan of action for the future.

As soon as Tian Ma and the others left, Yang Jixia pointed at the two young men and introduced them to Tong Jia, saying, "This is Xiao Kong. His official job is a patrolman, and he is mainly responsible for the Tianqiao area.

This is Lao Fang, whose official job is to collect night incense.

From now on, our liaison work in the provincial capital will be mainly handled by these two.

Xiao Kong, Lao Fang, this is Comrade Tong Jia, and that young comrade is called Lele. Although they are young, they can play a big role at critical moments.

And Tian Ma, who just took Diao Ren and Xiao Ting out, is also a member of our organization.

Like me, the three of them came here to complete the task of rebuilding the organization here.

Okay, now that we're all acquainted, you two can tell us about the situation on the overpass."

Xiao Kong said: "There are more jugglers and street performers over there, and the residents are mixed, with a large floating population. This is the focus of our patrols.

I've noted down the physical characteristics of the three people that Diao Ren just described. I'll pay special attention to them when I'm on patrol tomorrow."

Lao Fang asked, "Did those three people bring servants with them? I go door to door collecting night incense before dawn every day, and I've never seen those three people before.

However, there have been a lot of new faces appearing in the slum in Huaishu recently. Is it possible that they are with those three people?

Also, which side do these three people belong to? Will it affect our reconstruction plan?"

Yang Jixia nodded and said, "Originally, no, but judging by the current situation, it's hard to say."

"Why?" Xiao Kong and Lao Fang asked together.

Yang Jixia recounted their experiences over the past few days and concluded, "The boatman was armed, and the bodies in the village had gunshot wounds, which means there were quite a few weapons in the village.

But we searched the entire village, and found nothing, not even a bullet casing, let alone a pistol. This means the weapon was taken away by the second-in-command of the village.

With weapons and people in his hands, he would either choose another hill to occupy territory, or choose to join the other side.

We still can't tell whether they are friends or enemies, so we must first eliminate this hidden danger before rebuilding the organization."

"I still don't quite understand. Even if he doesn't stand on our side, there is no need to provoke these bandits when we are short of manpower, right?" Xiao Kong asked the question in his mind.

Tong Jia saw Yang Jixia looking at her, so she could only stand up and explain: "Tong Jia is the pseudonym I used when I joined the organization. My original name is Rong Xintong.

Rong Xinzhi, who has a good relationship with the second-in-command of the copycat, is my sister.

When she was in Shanghai, she had already followed Fuso's lackeys once.

This time...how should I put it?

We were kidnapped and taken to the mountain village together. From the time she was kidnapped to the time she left with others, it took no more than four hours.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she deliberately tried to please the bandits in order to save her life, and was actually looking for an opportunity to escape, but what we are worried about now is that those bandits originally had a relationship with her dead husband, so they can get along so harmoniously now.

If it's the first possibility, please just help me find their exact whereabouts. Leave the rest to me. I will discuss with her second sister how to save this little sister.

The most feared possibility is the second one, which is not only related to the affairs of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but also to the Fuso Kingdom.

In this way, that group of people cannot stay at all.

Although we are short-handed and our actions are hampered, it is precisely because everyone thinks we are short-handed, or that there are no members of our organization in the provincial capital, that we can better avoid suspicion after those bandits get into trouble. It's perfect stealth, isn't it? "

Lao Fang and Xiao Kong were silent for a moment after hearing this. It was Xiao Kong who responded first. He stood up and said, "It's late today. Tomorrow morning, I will go to investigate the temporary residents and register them one by one.

By comparing it with the previous registration forms, we can definitely tell who lives where.”

"Wouldn't this be too ostentatious?" Tong Jia asked, worried about alerting the enemy.

Xiao Kong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we are checking the temporary residents, it's all normal.

It is even more normal to check during festivals.

Every time this time comes, everyone wants to have a good New Year and is afraid of bad luck before the New Year. As long as there are temporary residents in the family, they will be very generous in giving money.

Many of my colleagues rely on this income to support their families!

I didn't like getting involved in this kind of thing before, but this time I'm going there myself and I'm going to make sure those bandits don't take advantage of any loopholes."

"As long as it's the normal procedure. Xiao Kong, no matter what the situation is, don't rush into anything when you go there for the first time. Just get the accurate address." Yang Jixia instructed again.

Xiao Kong said, "Don't worry. I know what's going on."

Lao Fang also stood up and said, "I will ask more about the situation over there tomorrow.

Think about what kind of business you can do with this place. In the future, you can pass on messages when you are pouring out the night incense every day. If there is any emergency, Xiao Kong can pass it on when he is on patrol.

Unless it's an emergency, it's better for us not to see each other too often."

Yang Jixia nodded, and Tong Jia asked, "Isn't this a residential building? Can you still do business here?"

Lao Fang said: "The way you came in is the back door, the front door faces the street, and it's a two-story building.

It was originally a teahouse. The owner was also stupid. Who could be patient enough to drink tea in a teahouse near a train station?

Later it was changed into a hotel, but the storefront was too small and could not accommodate many guests, so the owner lost money again.

Business people are very particular about this. Once they see two properties go bankrupt in a row, no one will be willing to rent anymore.

The owner of this house has been looking for tenants for nearly two years, but no one has rented it. His family is going to move to another place to live with relatives, so he thought of selling both the front and the back of the house.

There is an old saying that a poor family is rich on the road. They just want peace of mind, and we just need to find a suitable contact location. If the price is right, I will buy it.

Here are the land deeds and house deeds, Lao Yang, keep them safe."

Yang Jixia took the land deed and the house deed, and saw that his name was written on them.

He asked, "Lao Fang, this...?"

Lao Fang said: "You are a big boss, isn't it normal for you to own a property?

You are the boss on the surface, and this money is the funding. No matter what business you do, if you make a profit, it will all be used as funding.

If you don't need this place anymore, you can just sell it and hand over the money."

"That's a good idea. Please keep it for me." Yang Jixia handed the land deed and house deed to Tong Jia and asked her to help keep them.

Tong Jia asked, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to hold it?"

Yang Jixia said: "Even if I can't return it before the New Year, I must return it after the New Year.

If I keep this thing with me and someone finds it, I won’t be able to explain why I didn’t take the things lost at home.

You are the mistress of this house, so it is reasonable for you to take these things."

Tong Jia folded the two pieces of paper and put them back into the original envelope. She held the envelope in her hand until Xiao Kong and Lao Fang left.

It was only when Tian Ma and the others came back that she took advantage of Yang Jixia's attention not being on her and quickly put the envelope into the RV.

After dinner, Diao Ren stayed in this house for one night before leaving the provincial capital and returning to the Diao family.

Tong Jia always felt that she had to rely on Diao Yongting to find the whereabouts of Rong Xinhua and Old Mrs. Rong.

Diao Ren still needs to go back as soon as possible so that they can get more clues earlier.

However, Diao Ren did not leave alone. Xiao Ting also left with him.

Xiaoting also has an aunt who married into the county where Diao Yongting's family lives. Although she is very dependent on Tian Ma, she knows in her heart that people will not support her for free since she has no relatives or friends.

So when Diao Ren left, she took the initiative to ask to go with him.

It would be great if she could find her aunt, but if not, she could just stay in the Diao family and be a maid.

Tian Ma and Tong Jia didn't want her to stay in the Diao family as a maid, and both told her: "If you find your relatives, stay. If you really can't find any relatives, ask Brother Diao Ren to send you back. We can send you to school."

The little girl followed Diao Ren away with tears in her eyes.

After the two men left, Tong Jia and Tao Junle went to visit the house, which had a front door facing the street and a back door in a secluded alley.

Qianmen is only about fifty meters away from the entrance of the provincial capital railway station. Even at the end of the year, it is still very lively with people coming and going.

Looking at such a large flow of customers, Tong Jia felt that although teahouses and hotels could not continue to operate, restaurants should be able to.

People on the train are in a hurry and may not be in the mood to sit down and have a meal peacefully, so they mainly make easy-to-carry pasta such as steamed buns, steamed buns, tea eggs and pancakes.

People who are in a hurry to catch the bus can just buy something and leave, without having to dine in the restaurant.

Occasionally, there are people who need to dine in and order food. With her and Tian Ma’s cooking skills, they should be able to handle it.

In this way, the area on the first floor alone is sufficient for dine-in, and the private rooms on the second floor are actually completely unnecessary.

There are five rooms above, and in the backyard, in addition to the kitchen and toilet, there are three bungalows for accommodation.

Now that they are few in number, they can just live in the backyard, but when Guo Xin brings people over, there will definitely not be enough room in the backyard.

Therefore, after looking around the house from front to back, Tong Jia decided not to provide accommodation or private rooms on the second floor. He would let his family live there and in the backyard.

After coming up with an idea, he went to discuss it with Yang Jixia, but Tian Ma told her that Yang Jixia had gone out early in the morning and had not said when he would be back.

It was not until around four o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Jixia came back with Xiao Kong.

Looking at their expressions, Tong Jia guessed that they must have confirmed the whereabouts of the second-in-command of the fake gang.
