Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 68 Detective Eyes
"Ding! Please the host go to Chang'an East City to check in. After success, there will be rewards."

Li Yun was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect to check in today and go to Dongshi, instead of checking in successfully after waking up.

He then got up to wash up, then trained with the soldiers for half an hour, and then set off for Dongshi.

Not long after, Li Yun was walking on the streets of Dongshi. He tried again, one by one, as before.

There was no response for a long time.

At this moment, Li Yun passed by an old beggar.

The old beggar was about 70 to [-] years old, very thin, and his bare arms looked like skin and bones.

He bowed his head, curled up, and seemed to be asleep, looking very pitiful.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, and reward the host for his amateur detective eyes."

What the hell is Amateur Detective Eye?

A huge amount of information poured into Li Yun's brain, and he received it after a while, which turned out to be the knowledge and experience of some amateur detectives.

Li Yun then looked at the old beggar. It was completely different from just now. The old beggar was leaning on his body at this time, half on his side. It looked like he was sleeping, but his head was slightly tilted to the front.

With his head down, he can not only avoid other people's eyes, but also keep an eye on the pedestrians nearby.

There is no doubt that the system asked Li Yun to check in at this place.

This old beggar is most likely not a beggar, but has other identities.

Real detectives are good at hiding. Li Yun glanced at it, then turned his gaze away, and then moved forward. Finally, he sat on the second floor of the opposite teahouse by the window.

The old beggar remained motionless, as if he had really fallen asleep.

After a full quarter of an hour, the old beggar moved and turned to the other side.

In front of the old beggar, a middle-aged man in fine clothes came, followed by two strong men.

The old beggar's body shrank even smaller.

Li Yun was taken aback for a moment, then reacted.

It's not that the old beggar is cold, but that he is gaining momentum, just waiting for the middle-aged man to come over.

At this moment, one of the two strong men following behind the middle-aged man suddenly moved to the side of the middle-aged man.

The old beggar's body that had been bouncing around suddenly relaxed a little.

Li Yun probably understood what was going on, and he liked it in his heart, so this "detective eye" is so interesting.

"Go and find out the identity of the middle-aged man who just entered the restaurant opposite."

The middle-aged man passed the old beggar, and then entered the nearby restaurant.

After a while, the guard came back and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, that man is a famous iron shop merchant in Chang'an. His name is Su Cheng. He just received a big order not long ago, and the court asked him to help produce pig iron."

"Oh, how do you usually behave?"

"He seems to be relatively low-key, but he has done some good deeds. I haven't heard that he has any enemies."

Li Yun nodded, "Okay, you lead someone to catch him, and be careful not to cause too much influence."

After a while, Li Yun moved to the box of the teahouse, and the old beggar was also brought up.

"Your Highness, we found a short knife on him, which is very sharp."

The old beggar looked very angry, but his mouth was blocked, and he could only make an indistinct sound.

His eyes were red, and two lines of old tears flowed down, looking very pitiful.

Li Yun smiled and said, "What's the matter with you?"

The guard removed the rag from the old beggar's mouth.

The old beggar coughed continuously, and after a while he shouted angrily: "Who are you? Why are you arresting me? This is Chang'an. Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"

Li Yun smiled and said: "Answer my question first, why did you ambush Su Cheng there, do you want to kill Su Cheng?"

The old beggar snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Li Yun winked at the guard, who took two steps forward, and then slapped the old beggar five times.

The guard beat him hard, and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of the old beggar's mouth.

However, the old beggar's eyes were still full of resentment, and he didn't show any intention of compromise. Obviously, those blows just now didn't really hurt the old beggar.

The guard chuckled, "Your Highness, this old man is in good health."

Li Yun nodded, "This man is not a real beggar, maybe he is a practitioner."

He looked at the old beggar, stared into the old beggar's eyes, trying to see something different, but it didn't work.

His "Detective Eye" is only at an amateur level now, so there is no way to verify the identity of this old guy.

The old beggar sneered, with some complacency in his eyes.

Li Yun smiled lightly, and then slowly said: "Old man, have you tried it? I will dig a hole in your body and put a handful of dung worms in there."

"Your body will rot and it will slowly become very sick."

"You feel very uncomfortable, your wound is itchy all the time, it's like thousands of bugs are biting you."

The old beggar's face changed slightly, he raised his head and glared at Li Yun.

A guard drew a dagger, eager to try.

Li Yun continued: "Are you still telling the truth?"

The old beggar lowered his head, his face changed suddenly, after a while he let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "My name is Gao Lao, this is my name on the road, I received a mission three days ago, this mission is to assassinate Su Cheng, the fee It's twenty pennies."

Twenty guan, that is, [-] yuan.

Li Yun nodded, "Go ahead."

"I took this task and then investigated Su Cheng. I know Su Cheng likes to drink tea here, so I'm waiting for him here."

There was regret on his face.

"Before you found me, I was going to act, but I was not determined enough, and now the mission has failed."

"Can I ask, how did you find me? No one has ever known me before, so how did you find me?"

Li Yun smiled faintly, "I came here to drink tea and looked out, just in time to see your plan to assassinate Su Cheng, and then the guard blocked the side attack, you gave up the assassination."

The old beggar was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "It turns out that it is like this. You have nothing to do with Su Cheng, but you stopped me. It seems that this is God's will."

"Are you from Dali Temple? Or from the Ministry of Punishment?"

He felt that if Li Yun could find him, he must be an expert in this field.

Li Yun shook his head, "No, I'm just a meddling idler."

The old beggar obviously didn't believe it, Li Yun could easily find him, so how could he be an idler?
Li Yun continued: "Do you know who the employer is?"

The old beggar shook his head, "I don't know, I've never met the employer."

"Oh, then how did you receive this mission?"

"There is another person above me. This person is called Caitou. He is in charge of five killers like me. He told me, and then I will follow."

"Well, where's the cabbage head?"
