This handyman was a smart person. Under Yang Rui's interrogation, he knew that if he didn't confess, things wouldn't end well. Thus, he confessed to Yang Rui about his identity and his purpose for visiting Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun's manors.
It turned out that this handyman was called Zheng San. Every day, he was in charge of transporting Wang Yun's household garbage out of Chang 'an city. He could be considered a worker for Wang Yun's mansion.
However, this Zheng San had another identity. He was secretly a spy in Dong Zhuo's mansion. Every day, he would go to Wang Yun's mansion to pass on information gathered by another person in the mansion.
From Zheng San, Yang Rui learned about the identity of the person in Wang Yun's mansion. It was actually Butler Li, who was in charge of external affairs. Every day, after Zheng San went to Wang Yun's mansion, he would often be personally led by this person to collect the household garbage. At the same time, he would also pass on some important information to Zheng San.
Most of this information was about Wang Yun's past with people. For example, today, Zheng San learned about a novel … The news was that Wang Yun had an appointment with a court official. Clearly, this was one of Dong Zhuo's methods to supervise the officials.
Similar to Wang Yun's residence, Dong Zhuo's residence also had a Steward Zhang who was responsible for collecting information. Every day, Zheng San would report to Steward Zhang the information he obtained from his contact with Steward Li. His job was considered done.
Yang Rui didn't forget to inquire about Diaochan. However, this handyman didn't know much about Wang Yun's mansion. According to him, his daily route to Wang Yun's mansion was fixed. Apart from the information provided by Butler Li, he couldn't obtain any other information.
When Zheng San had nothing else to say, Yang Rui decisively got rid of this handyman. Zheng San was originally a spy in Dong Zhuo's camp. It also involved the issue of using his identity. Yang Rui had no reason to keep a tail like this. At the same time, this spy actually gave Yang Rui 1000 plot achievement points and contribution points. It was equivalent to a junior general!
"Zheng San, why are you so late today?!"
When Yang Rui dealt with Zheng San and took his place to meet Steward Zhang at Dong Zhuo's residence, it was obvious that Steward Zhang was angry that Yang Rui hadn't arrived in time. Yang Rui could only use the excuse that there was too much rubbish in Wang Yun's residence today as an excuse. It was not easy to dispel the steward's anger.
After that, Yang Rui told Wang Yun about what happened in Wang Yun's residence, and then left. Today, Yang Rui was the one who asked about the details of Wang Yun's residence. Therefore, he was able to speak about it very easily.
According to Zheng San. If something special happened in Wang Yun's residence, Housekeeper Li would also pass on the message by letter. However, if it was just some daily matters, it would generally be passed on orally.
"Qiao Er, what's the situation in Li Residence?"
Just as Yang Rui turned around and left, another person who looked similar to Zheng San happened to come to see Steward Zhang. With Yang Rui's current hearing, even if he was a little far away, he could still hear some of the conversation between the latter and Steward Zhang. He immediately understood in his heart. This person should be the same as Zheng San. He should also be a spy in another important minister's residence.
Immediately, Yang Rui had a judgment. This Steward Zhang in Dong Zhuo's residence should be responsible for collecting intelligence on the various ministers. If Yang Rui wanted to sneak into Dong Zhuo's residence, it should be a very good choice to get some information from this Steward Zhang.
However, after some consideration, Yang Rui decided to temporarily find Diaochan as his primary goal. He would think of a way to sneak into Wang Yun's residence first before thinking about anything else. At the current stage of the Dong Zhuo's rebellion plot, Diaochan was undoubtedly a very valuable target in the future plot.
On this point, Cai Yan was a very good example. In contrast, Diaochan should not be as simple as just being beautiful. Yang Rui didn't care too much about other possible plot rewards unless he could kill Dong Zhuo himself, just like how he killed Zhang Jiao. He believed that he would gain a lot of rewards, but such a chance was too slim.
For the next two days, Yang Rui went in and out of Wang Yun's residence as usual with the identity of the handyman Zheng San. As usual, he passed messages between Steward Li and Steward Zhang. The two stewards didn't notice anything unusual about Yang Rui.
After personally entering Wang Yun's residence for the past two days, Yang Rui also witnessed that with Zheng San's identity, it was indeed difficult for him to get more information about Diaochan. Moreover, for the past two days, Yang Rui couldn't even get close to Wang Yun's residence. Just as Zheng San had said before, every time Yang Rui entered Wang Yun's residence, he would be led by Steward Li to a few fixed places outside the residence to tidy up. After that, he would have to leave the residence very quickly.
Obviously, even if Yang Rui continued to use Zheng San's identity, it would be difficult for him to obtain more information. Moreover, the duration of the Shapeshifting Mask was only 36 hours, and the cooldown period was also 36 hours. During the cooldown period, Yang Rui could no longer enter Wang Yun's residence. In the case of being absent from work for three consecutive days, it would definitely arouse the suspicions of Steward Li and Steward Zhang.
"Steward Li, Steward Zhang asked me to pass a message. He said that he is waiting for Steward Li in the Cuixiang Restaurant. He has something important to discuss!"
After thinking about it repeatedly, Yang Rui made a decision. On the afternoon of the third day, he went to Wang Yun's residence in advance to find Steward Li, and asked him out in the name of Steward Zhang. The cooldown period of the Shapeshifting Mask was about to end, so Yang Rui had to find Steward Li a little earlier.
"By the way, Steward Li, Steward Zhang once told me that you'd better ask for leave from your superior. He said that because of the special situation involved, Steward Li may need to leave Wang Situ's residence for two or three days."
Yang Rui finally didn't forget to add that he also considered the cooldown period of the Shapeshifting Mask. In this way, after the cooldown period of the Shapeshifting Mask was over, Yang Rui could directly appear in Wang Yun's residence with the identity of Steward Li.
The reason why Yang Rui set the location at the Cuixiang Restaurant was that Yang Rui had calculated the route. On the way from Wang Yun's residence to the Cuixiang Restaurant, there were several places that were relatively secluded, which were suitable for Yang Rui to take down.
"Why are you still here?"
After about a quarter of an hour, Steward Li walked out of the main entrance of Wang Yun's residence. He should have asked for leave according to Yang Rui's request. After seeing that Yang Rui seemed to be waiting for him, Steward Li asked in surprise.
"Steward Zhang told me to go to the Cuixiang Restaurant with Steward Li. It seems that he has something important to tell me together."
In this regard, Yang Rui had already thought of a reason, so he answered casually. Hearing Yang Rui's answer, Steward Li no longer had any doubts, so the 2 went to the Cuixiang Restaurant together.
"Ah! How dare you! "
Obviously, the end of this Steward Li could be imagined. After the 2 arrived at the place that Yang Rui observed in advance, Yang Rui quickly knocked Steward Li unconscious. After a few ups and downs, he was also brought back to the courtyard where he lived.
"How dare you lay your hands on me, Zheng San!"
In the same way, after Yang Rui brought Manager Li back to the courtyard, he once again splashed a basin of cold water on him to wake him up. However, the difference was that this Manager Li was obviously not as sensible as Zheng San. Until now, he still hadn't realized his situation.
"Tell me, Steward Li, what are you responsible for in Sir Wang Yun's residence?" Yang Rui pulled out a long sword and pointed it at Steward Li's neck.
"You? What do you want to do? Let's talk about it! "
What Yang Rui didn't expect was that this Steward Li was even more timid than Zheng San. After Yang Rui really pointed the sword at his neck, Steward Li immediately cowered. Then, Steward Li answered whatever Yang Rui asked and didn't dare to disobey.
In less than a moment, Yang Rui quickly learned everything he wanted to know and finished off the other party with a sword in satisfaction. This Steward Li was also a member of the opposing camp, so Yang Rui naturally didn't need to keep him alive. Moreover, Yang Rui obtained another 2000 plot merit points and contribution points from him, which was equivalent to killing an intermediate general.
Three days later, as soon as the cooldown of the Shapeshifting Mask was over, Yang Rui transformed into Steward Li's appearance and swaggered into Wang Yun's residence.
Previously, Yang Rui had learned about Steward Li's general duties in Yang Rui's residence. In addition, Steward Li also took a leave when he left, so Yang Rui didn't arouse any suspicion after entering the residence.
"What? I just took a leave of absence for three days, and the cleaning of the garbage was interrupted? How did you fortify the place? "
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Fortunately, after Steward Sun heard about this, he replaced Steward Li and recruited another handyman. "
After entering Wang Yun's residence, Yang Rui first dealt with the matters that had been delayed for a few days. After that, he considered looking for Diaochan. Previously, Yang Rui had also obtained some important clues from Steward Li.
With Steward Li's identity, although most of his duties were in the outer residence, this didn't affect his freedom to move around the entire Wang Yun's residence. It was also very normal for him to enter the inner residence. His residence was in the inner residence, which also created an opportunity for Yang Rui.
Moreover, according to the results of Yang Rui's interrogation, Steward Li really knew some information about the singers raised by Wang Yun, but it wasn't clear if one of them was called Diaochan. However, this problem didn't seem to be too important because Yang Rui had already discovered something on the first night he entered Wang Yun's residence.
At that time, Yang Rui was in Steward Li's residence in the inner residence. When he was considering whether to take advantage of the night to look around, he vaguely heard the sound of konghou rippling in the back garden. With his skills, Yang Rui quickly found the source of the music under the cover of the night.
