First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 467: It turns out that the news is not gathered here

Wei Ling followed Chen Xinghe and sneaked into Ximoxuan.

He had changed out of the white robes of Miaoshou Pavilion and put on his own black robes, and the night became his best disguise and cover.

After Chen Xinghe entered Ximoxuan, he entered a courtyard. This courtyard looked quite secluded, as if it was a place to store ordinary miscellaneous items. The courtyard was a typical quadrangle courtyard, with only one entrance and exit. There were wing rooms on three sides, which also seemed to be Ximoxuan's warehouse. There were also several rooms that seemed to be where Ximoxuan's servants lived.

Because this place is inconspicuous and relatively remote, the people from the Princess's Mansion were not very concerned about it when they came to Ximoxuan to search. Instead, they caused the least damage here. Basically, they just went into every room to take a look, and did not search for anything in a destructive manner.

This place actually looks tidier than other places in Ximoxuan.

He stopped here and dismissed the people following him. Soon after, one of the doors opened and two people dressed like Ximoxuan's servants walked out.

"Master!" Seeing that only Chen Xinghe was standing in the middle of the yard, the two men hurried over and knelt on one knee.

"Kong Chun, that shrew didn't find anything wrong here, right?" Chen Xinghe's voice was a little cold.

"Master, don't worry. The princess's men have no interest in this place. They just took a quick look and left. We all hid, and the people brought by the princess didn't find us." The two men said.

"Yeah." Chen Xinghe was not surprised that they were not discovered by the people in the Princess's Mansion. They were the real spies hiding in Ximoxuan.

This courtyard is where intelligence information is actually exchanged and where spies rest.

The people in the Princess's Mansion didn't think much of it when they saw that there was no one in the living room. They left when they didn't find anything unusual.

In fact, everyone in those rooms hid away in time.

These people are all masters, and they are not allowed to reveal their identities on weekdays unless they have Chen Xinghe's order.

So even if such a big thing happened in Ximoxuan, they would not act rashly without Chen Xinghe's instructions.

This was also why Chen Xinghe felt aggrieved. Ximoxuan was obviously his territory. As long as he gave the order, these spies hiding here would swarm in directly. These people were the real royal assassins, with at least a dozen lives in their hands. They were real bloody killers, while the guards in the Princess's Mansion were just some idiots selected by the Princess. Apart from relying on the Princess's title to bully others, they didn't have many real abilities.

In Chen Xinghe's opinion, the guards in the Princess's Mansion were nothing but empty talk.

But it was precisely these embroidered pillows that made him feel stuck today.

"In that case, you should go to Shuixiangfang first. This place has already caught the attention of the Princess, and she's sure to be bothered by it in the future," Chen Xinghe said. "Move everything here with you. Remember to be careful. Don't let anyone see anything. Especially the recent files. Nothing can be lost! Got it? Tell the people at Shuixiangfang not to send files here anymore. Just send the briefings here, and make sure they deliver them to me personally. Don't leave them in the warehouse for someone to pick up!"

"Yes!" the two men answered firmly.

Wei Ling was hiding in the dark, and his eyes brightened noticeably when he heard the words "Shuixiangfang".

Shuixiangfang is a large winery in the capital. They produce a wide range of wines, from high-end to low-end. Their high-quality Hu Lanxiang wine has long been available only to the capital's elite, but it's not Shuixiangfang's most profitable product. Their most profitable product is Shuixiangfang. While not considered a premium wine, it boasts a high volume and low price, making it a popular choice for ordinary people. It's also a favorite of many of the nearby inns. After all, only a minority of ordinary people can afford fine wine, so Shuixiangfang's wine is the most common wine for the capital's citizens.

Therefore, the winery has always had a good business and made a lot of money. There are also many people coming and going in the winery every day.

In the past, Wei Ling always thought it was a bit strange that Chen Xinghe used Ximoxuan as the base for his secret agents in the capital. After all, most of the people who came and went from Ximoxuan were scholars, and it was impossible for all the secret agents in the capital to dress up as scholars to show off their knowledge.

This Ximoxuan doesn't look like a place for transmitting messages.

Now he understands.

The information transmission and aggregation is not done in Ximoxuan, but in Shuixiangfang. Ximoxuan only gives people an illusion because Chen Xinghe is here, making people who are investigating him think that this is the center for the Beijing spies to transmit and aggregate information!

If it is Shuixiangfang, then many things make sense.

The hustle and bustle of people in Shuixiangfang makes it inconspicuous, and it is indeed the best place to transmit and summarize information.

If the files here were also moved to Shuixiangfang, we could really take a good look at what the spies in the capital have discovered over the years.

In the past, his people found out that Chen Xinghe was the head of the secret police in Beijing, but the people coming in and out of Ximoxuan on a daily basis were too few, so it was not easy for his people to sneak in.

But it’s different in Shuixiangfang.

That place was originally a winery, with a lot of people coming and going, so Chen Xinghe might have moved some important files to Ximoxuan for safekeeping for this reason. Now that Ximoxuan had been disturbed by the princess, it was naturally not safe anymore, so Chen Xinghe had no choice but to move the files back to Shuixiangfang.

Chen Xinghe gave a few instructions, which were nothing more than to pay attention to the safety of the files. In addition, Chen Xinghe asked the man to call over another twenty death warriors, asked them to change into the clothes of the guards of Prince Cheng'en's Mansion, and then go to Miaoshou Pavilion to expel the guards of the Princess' Mansion from Miaoshou Pavilion.

Chen Xinghe had already sent a team of people to Miaoshou Pavilion to temporarily protect Qin Wanfang. However, those people were still dressed as peddlers in the capital, and their names were not legitimate. However, if they were dressed as guards of the Cheng'en County Prince's Mansion, it would be different.

"Take my token and go!" Chen Xinghe saw everyone change their clothes and took the token from his waist and handed it to Kong Chun. "Wait until the people from the Princess's Mansion leave. Go do other things. Give the token to Kong Qiu and ask him to stay there with his men to protect them."

"Yes." The man named Kong Chun took the token with both hands and then led the people out.

Wei Ling hesitated for a moment, but continued to follow Chen Xinghe.

Chen Xinghe had entrusted the task of moving the files to his assassin, Kong Chun. However, the files were still in Ximoxuan, and Kong Chun would eventually return to remove them. So he could wait and see. After all, Chen Xinghe wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. Wei Ling also wanted to see what Chen Xinghe planned to do next.
