A knife in love

Chapter 1108

This person is Zhuang Hengyun, the second owner of Wuhu Villa.It was only later that Li Qiufeng found out that his real identity was an undercover agent sent by Dongchang.No matter in the Imperial Mausoleum, Yong'an City or Shajiabao, there were shadows of this person behind many turmoil.Even though Li Qiufeng had confronted him many times, he didn't know the details of this person. He only knew that Zhuang Hengyun was cunning and scheming, and he was an extremely difficult person to deal with.So seeing this person suddenly appearing on the river, Li Qiufeng didn't dare to push him too hard, and stored his internal energy in his hands to prevent this person from violently injuring others.

When Zhuang Hengyun jumped onto the boat, two big boats flew by from left to right, and they sailed five or six feet downstream in an instant.Li Qiufeng had already turned around at this time, with his back to the bow of the ship, his eyes passed over Zhuang Hengyun's shoulder, seeing the four big ships drifting not far downstream, he was about to turn the sails to the left.The sailors who wanted to come to the ship were turning the bow, and they would follow soon.

Zhuang Hengyun said with a smile: "Lord Li, since we have met, we might as well say something directly..."

Li Qiufeng didn't wait for him to finish, and said first: "Master Zhuang, the three men on the boat are boatmen hired by me, and they don't know my background. If Master Zhuang wants to arrest me, I hope you don't make things difficult for these three men." .”

When the boatman and the two boatmen heard Zhuang Hengyun calling Li Qiufeng "Master Li", the heart that had been hanging in their throats had already returned to their stomachs.It's just that listening to Li Qiufeng's words at this time, the three of them were terrified, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and their hearts rose again.

Zhuang Hengyun said in a deep voice: "What is the point of Master Li's words? There are other important matters on this trip, which have nothing to do with Master Li. Besides, if Master Li has something to do, it will naturally be dealt with by the Nansi, which has nothing to do with us. Therefore, Lord Li can rest assured. As for the three brothers on board, they seem to be law-abiding people at first glance, so how can I embarrass them?"

After hearing this, the boatman and others let out another sigh of relief.

Li Qiufeng said: "Last night when I was in Yibin Mansion, I had an unintentional dispute with Dongchang's fans. I didn't mean to make things difficult for Dongchang. I don't know if Mr. Zhuang believes it?"

Zhuang Hengyun pondered for a while, and said: "Master Li is a man, I admire the most. Since Lord Li said that it has nothing to do with this matter, he will definitely not lie. It's just..."

When Zhuang Hengyun said this, there was a bit of embarrassment on his face.Li Qiufeng knew that this person was cunning, so he didn't know what Zhuang Hengyun was planning at this moment.Therefore, seeing that he kept silent, he didn't ask any questions, but just looked at Zhuang Hengyun quietly, as if he wanted to see what was going on in his heart.

After a while, Zhuang Hengyun sighed, and said: "Master Li, you are also a servant, so you naturally know the reason why a senior official crushes someone to death. To put it bluntly, we are doing things for the emperor. But people like us How can the emperor care about us when you wait for a small official as big as a sesame seed? Therefore, the person who is holding our lives is our immediate superior. This time we are going to Sichuan to handle affairs, and the leader of us is Xiao Cheng Xiao Gonggong. Your Excellency, You work in Nansi, so you don't know the name of Eunuch Xiao?"

When Li Qiufeng heard the word "Xiao Cheng", his heart trembled, and he said: "Mr. Xiao is the confidant of Eunuch Lan Chengqi Lan, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor. , Who in the court doesn’t know? I don’t know what happened in the middle of Sichuan, and dare to work on Xiao Gonggong’s majesty?”

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Although Eunuch Xiao has a high position and authority, he is not 01:30 points worse than Lord Yang Zhen Zhongyang. Lord Yang is not afraid of hardships, and personally went to Henan to run errands for the emperor, and our Dongchang dare not lag behind. It just so happened that there was a big case in the capital, and Eunuch Lan originally wanted to go to Shuzhong in person. However, he held an important position and the emperor couldn’t leave him for a day, so he sent Eunuch Xiao to Shuzhong to find someone. Come to share the worries of the emperor."

When Zhuang Hengyun said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "That day, not long after I broke up with Master Li, I received a letter from the factory owner to rush to Shandong to run an errand. It's just that I just left and haven't crossed the Yellow River yet. , and received an order from the superior, to go to the middle of Shu, and follow Xiao Gonggong's dispatch. The person Xiao Gonggong is looking for has a great relationship with the safety of the next day, so we must find him. I heard that People entered Sichuan from Henan, and they had to pass through Yibin to go to the Western Regions. Mr. Xiao mobilized people and waited for this person to arrive in Yibin Mansion. However, he waited for several days, but this person never showed up. Until yesterday, someone shot at the pier and killed us in an ambush The brothers at the pier fled to the boat, anchored overnight, and sailed northward along the Minjiang River. It is said that there are two other people on board, one of whom is an old man, who is quite similar to the person we are looking for. After Xiao Gonggong received the secret report, It is judged that among the people on board, even if they are not the person we are looking for, they have a great relationship with this matter. Therefore, I personally led hundreds of warrior battalion masters from Yibin to the north and stationed in Erlang Town and Sunjiapu. Went to Feige to send a letter, saying that the enemy broke through our defense line on the water surface of Erlang Town. Mr. Xiao led us down the river from Sunjiapu in a boat, trying to intercept the person we were looking for. But I never expected , unexpectedly met Master Li here."

Li Qiufeng said: "The person that Eunuch Xiao is looking for may not be me. As for the other two guests on the boat, they are Li's elders. The person I'm looking for. All the masters of the East Factory, you won't be in trouble with these two hermits, will you?"

Zhuang Hengyun sighed, and said in his mouth: "This is exactly what I wanted to say just now. Naturally, I firmly believe in Lord Li's words, but Eunuch Xiao has no relationship with Lord Li, so I don't know that Lord Li is an upright man. Eunuch Xiao will naturally not believe it just because I speak for Lord Li. Moreover, the person that Eunuch Xiao was ordered to find this time is also an old man who lives in seclusion. If Eunuch Xiao is not allowed to meet this old man, I'm afraid He wouldn't let it go."

Li Qiufeng raised his eyebrows, and said in his mouth: "Master Zhuang, Li is no longer in Jinyiwei, and he is just a prodigal son. However, no matter how powerful Mr. Xiao is, Li is not afraid. If he doesn't believe Li, Come find Li as much trouble as you can."

Zhuang Hengyun gave a wry smile, and said in his mouth: "Master Li, why do you have to be arrogant? Eunuch Xiao is not an unreasonable person, just ask that old man to meet Eunuch Xiao, as long as it is not the person Dongchang is looking for, Eunuch Xiao Absolutely will not embarrass him."

Li Qiufeng sneered, and said in his mouth: "Master Zhuang, although you are also on business in Dongchang, you have been hiding in Wuhu Villa for many years. I'm afraid you don't know the methods of this Eunuch Xiao. Li is in Jinyiwei South Town Fusi has been serving as an officer for many years, and he knows Eunuch Xiao's name. He has a nickname in the capital, "Smiling Tiger", and his speech and actions are extremely strange. It will not be easy for Li to believe in Eunuch Xiao."

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Even if Eunuch Xiao is more cautious in his actions, his reputation will be bad. But with my guarantee, Lord Li can rest assured?"

Li Qiufeng glanced at Zhuang Hengyun, smiled slightly, and said, "Then should I call you the Second Villa Master, or should I call you Master Zhuang? To be honest, Li really underestimated Master Zhuang before. In Wuhu Villa Among the several Zhuang owners, Li originally thought that Mr. Zhuang was the most mediocre one, but unexpectedly, he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and overthrew Yu Changyuan and others in one fell swoop. The master is playing with it in the palm of the hand. The adults can turn their hands into clouds and rain, I am afraid that Liu Sheng Zongyan is not an opponent. The more Li thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes, and he just wants to stay as far away from Master Zhuang as possible. How dare you have any dealings with Mr. Zhuang? This time, Li left the Central Plains and retreated to the middle of Shu, because he didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial court and the rivers and lakes. He found a secluded place in a remote mountain and lived in seclusion in the remote mountains, and this is all for the rest of his life. So please Mr. Zhuang will go back and report to Duke Xiao, please make it easier for each other, and don't make things difficult for us."

Li Qiufeng's words contained a gun and a stick. Zhuang Hengyun is a man with seven senses, so why can't he hear it?His face changed slightly, and he regained his composure in an instant. He said in his mouth: "Master Li is joking. I am only acting on the order of the superior, so I have to do it. If I say that I intend to deceive Sir Li, that's terrible." I have been wronged. If I really want to embarrass Lord Li, I am afraid that I will not allow Lord Li to get away easily in Wuhu Villa."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, you are hiding in Wuhu Mountain Villa, so you are the nail of Dongchang, and you want to monitor the movements of Yu Changyuan and others.That's because more than ten years ago, the Xingxian Palace colluded with the imperial court boss and Liusheng Zongyan to overthrow the Zhengde Emperor and let Xingxian King enter Beijing to inherit the rule.At that time, Dongchang was in charge of Zhang Yong, a confidant of Emperor Zhengde, but due to negligence, Yagyu Zongyan and others succeeded.After King Xingxian made him emperor, Dongchang was repeatedly suppressed, and it was far less powerful than Emperor Zhengde when he was in power.Dongchang must have been unwilling to accept this situation, so he sent many people to secretly inquire about the conspiracy behind the matter.You are trying to embarrass me in Wuhu Mountain Villa, you just want to put a long line to catch big fish, do you really think I don't know?
