208: Chapter 208 Finding People

The level they could reach was limited only to this Jinling County.

To some extent, information transmission in the Great Jing Dynasty was very closed off; finding someone did not seem like an easy task.

In reality, it was quite the opposite. Closed-off information meant that the number of outsiders would not be very large.

If the various Great Families cooperated, these outsiders could be identified with a single investigation.

Not to mention, the vendors and beggars on the streets were natural eyes and ears. As long as someone was willing to pay, no matter how deep one hid, they could be found.

It was just that, in terms of time, it might not be so timely.

At the same time, there were quite a few strangers within Liuhe Town.

As one of the five towns of Jinling County, Liuhe Town's area was not small, with a permanent population of nearly one hundred thousand. Compared to it, the population of the various towns in Wuyang County was much smaller.

For one, Wuyang County was not as prosperous as Jinling to begin with; whether in terms of economy or land, it was more than a notch inferior.

Even though the Pei Clan had risen over the past two years and the number of outsiders had increased significantly, the added population was basically concentrated within Wuyang City.

The situation in the various towns was exactly the opposite.

After all, the total population was only so much; it was impossible to give birth to a huge amount in a single year. Therefore, Wuyang County could attract outsiders, but how many of those outsiders were from other counties?

It could be said that the vast majority of the flow of people was still within the various towns of Wuyang County.

Of course, as the Pei Clan's reputation grew greater and greater, the projects being developed were also increasing day by day.

This situation was gradually improving. However, to surpass Jinling County as a whole, it would take at least another ten years.

On ordinary days, excluding merchant caravans, the daily flow of people in Liuhe Town was less than one percent of the total population.

However.

Today was different from the past.

Early in the morning, many unfamiliar Faces appeared in Liuhe Town.

In particular, the local thugs of Liuhe Town had all received the news.

Inside a small alley, two men, one tall and one short, both about thirty years old, were communicating in secret.

"What exactly happened? Even people from the Wu Family have come. The sun must have risen from the west today."

"Brother Niu, keep your voice down. If the Wu Family people hear you, it certainly won't be a good thing. I heard that the Wu Family is only cooperating this time; they seem to be looking for someone named Yin He."

"Just who is this Yin He to have the Wu Family cooperate in finding him? Which Great Family in Jinling County has such great Face? Could it be that some big figure from the prefecture capital ordered this?"

"This, I'm not sure. Among the Great Families with the surname Yin, none in this Jinhuai Prefecture capital have such power. However, I heard people outside saying that this matter seems to be related to a certain merchant guild; they're searching the streets for him now."

"As long as someone can provide a clue about this person named Yin He, they'll get two hundred taels of silver. If they have accurate information, they'll be directly rewarded with a thousand taels. Brother Niu, when it comes to finding people in Liuhe Town, you're definitely the best. Look, do you want to give it a try?"

Hearing this, a look of contemplation appeared on the tall man's Face.

Two hundred taels, for an ordinary commoner family, would take at least ten years of saving without eating or drinking.

Even for a Foundation Martial Artist, wanting to take out two hundred taels all at once was by no means an easy task.

Two hundred taels was no different from a massive fortune for those at the bottom. Not to mention, if one had accurate information, they could even get a thousand taels.

It was impossible not to be tempted.

It was just that, how could this money be obtained so easily?

He had no confidence in taking money from the hands of a Great Family.

But driven by interest, the tall man still chose to go look for the person.

At the same time, in various dark corners of Liuhe Town, this scene was playing out in the same way.
