A knife in love

Chapter 1110

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, and turned to look at the boatman, only to see that the boatman was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he just steered the rudder and sailed on the Yangtze River every day. Deep wrinkles.Although the weather was cold, the boatman still rolled up his sleeves, revealing his bulging muscles, and looked quite majestic.Seeing Li Qiufeng looking at him, the boatman winked at Li Qiufeng, showing a sly look.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, although this boatman was young, he was so vicious, he was somewhat similar to those legendary thieves who killed people and robbed rivers and lakes.It is necessary to ask the boatman to teach him well, otherwise this person will definitely go astray.

Seeing Li Qiufeng staring blankly at him but not speaking, the boatman felt a little uneasy.Zhuang Hengyun stood on the sampan, only waiting for the boatman to throw the rope over, and then he could wait for the big boat to arrive and pull him back on board.It's just that the boatman didn't throw the rope over, but whispered to Li Qiufeng with a sly face.Zhuang Hengyun's heart shuddered, and he couldn't help crying secretly.

Just now on the big boat, according to the suggestion of the eunuch Xiao Cheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse inspector, he should take advantage of the huge size of the boat to knock over the opponent's sailboat, and then send people to catch everyone who fell into the water.Zhuang Hengyun is an undercover agent of the Dongchang faction in the rivers and lakes. He is a tough man and has been hiding in Wuhu Villa for more than ten years.Rao Yu Changyuan, He Yi and others were cunning and wise, but they didn't see that Zhuang Hengyun was Dongchang's eyeliner.After the imperial tomb incident happened, Zhuang Hengyun reported the whole story to the governor of Dongchang, and he was very pleased with the governor of Dongchang, so he promoted him to three consecutive ranks and became Dongchang's agent in the martial arts.It's just that although Zhuang Hengyun's status has improved a lot, it is far behind Xiao Cheng, the eunuch who is in charge of the horse and the admiral.When Xiao Cheng went to Sichuan to handle business this time, the Imperial Horse Supervisor could be said to have come out in full force.Under the admiral, there are supervisors, directors, Dianbu and others, all of whom are much higher than Zhuang Hengyun.Therefore, on the big ship, Zhuang Hengyun didn't have the opportunity to speak.It's just that he was accompanying Xiao Cheng, and when he saw a person standing on the bow of the other party, whose figure was very familiar, he was terrified.Therefore, he walked a few steps forward quietly, carefully looked at the appearance of the man, and immediately recognized Li Qiufeng.

Zhuang Hengyun didn't expect to meet Li Qiufeng on this big river, he was shocked, he hurriedly knelt down in front of Xiao Cheng, and told him that there was a Jin Yiwei on the other party's boat, and that this person was the one who had been in Yang Zhenzhong when Xiao Cheng left Beijing. Li Qiufeng mentioned to him.

It turns out that after the battle of Shajiabao, Yang Zhenzhong discussed the guarding of the palace with the leaders of the 24 yamen in the palace, and mentioned the conspiracy of the Liusheng clan colluding with the traitor party to capture the capital.By the way, Jin Yiwei dispatched an undercover agent who made great contributions to the Imperial Mausoleum, Yong'an City, and Hutouyan Shajiabao, defeating the conspiracy of the Liusheng clan.In the future, if Dongchang encounters this Jinyiwei when he is on business, he must not make any trouble.Zhuang Hengyun heard about it from the eunuch who sent him to work in Shandong, and thought to himself that he and Li Qiufeng had a good relationship, and he thought that he valued Li Qiufeng according to Yang Zhenzhong.I am just a small role in Dongchang. If I want to be promoted to a higher position, I might as well use Li Qiufeng to catch up with Yang Zhenzhong, and I will make a great success in the future, just around the corner.So when he saw Li Qiufeng appearing suddenly, he was surprised and happy, so he told Xiao Cheng about it, and asked him to speak to Li Qiufeng, asking if the person Dongchang was looking for was on board.

Xiao Cheng was quite afraid of Yang Zhenzhong, knowing that both this person and Lu Bing were the emperor's confidantes, he could never afford to offend him.So after hearing what Zhuang Hengyun said, he immediately agreed.Zhuang Hengyun thought that he would be able to get Li Qiufeng to hand over the suspicious old man by being the mediator. Not only would he make great contributions, but he could also make friends with Li Qiufeng.Unexpectedly, Li Qiufeng refused straight away, which made Zhuang Hengyun feel ashamed, so he had no choice but to use the sampan to turn the big boat around.But seeing Li Qiufeng whispering to the boatman, Zhuang Hengyun immediately sensed that the two had bad intentions.It's just that he was standing on the sampan at this time, and he had no reason to advance or retreat. If Li Qiufeng and the boatman had malicious intentions, he could only wait for death.Thinking of this, Zhuang Hengyun's face immediately became extremely ugly, and he was filled with regrets.

Li Qiufeng glanced at the boatman, shook his head, and said, "I don't have any grudge against this man, just throw the rope to him."

The boatman didn't dare to disobey, swung his right arm, and the rope flew straight towards Zhuang Hengyun.Seeing that Li Qiufeng and the boatman did not harm him, Zhuang Hengyun was finally relieved and reached out to catch the rope.It's just that after the boatman threw the rope, the sampan lost its dragging power and immediately drifted downstream with the river.Zhuang Hengyun mobilized his inner strength, stepped on the bottom of the sampan with both feet tightly, and his body heaved up and down with the sampan, swaying from side to side in the turbulent river, which was quite thrilling.

After throwing the rope, the boatman saw Li Qiufeng's gloomy face, knowing that he was dissatisfied with what he just said, so he never dared to touch his bad luck, and quietly slipped to the side of the boatman under the mast, He appeared to help him pull the sail.The other boatman was quite honest, he had been steering the boat at the stern without speaking.

Li Qiufeng saw Zhuang Hengyun standing on the sampan, drifting rapidly downstream with the current.When the sampan floated beside a big boat, ropes were dropped from the big boat and Zhuang Hengyun was pulled onto the deck of the big boat.

Li Qiufeng saw that Zhuang Heng had already escaped from danger, and thought that this person had returned without success, and Xiao Cheng would lead the Dongchang fans in hot pursuit.I have to discuss it with Master Haosheng to find a perfect solution.So he walked to the entrance of the cabin, and when he was about to go in, he remembered something again, turned his head and said to the boatman: "After we get to Leshan, I will pay uncle the money to build a new sampan."

At this time, the boatman already knew that Li Qiufeng had an extraordinary background, and nine out of ten he had a great relationship with the government.When he was feeling uneasy, when he heard what Li Qiufeng said, he was about to refuse, but Li Qiufeng had already walked into the cabin.

He originally thought that Humpty Humpty had drunk most of the jar of wine, and he must be drunk at this time, so when he walked down the cabin, he walked very carefully step by step.But when he stepped down from the cabin, he found that the Humpty Man was sitting at the small table in the cabin, whispering to the old man.Li Qiufeng was stunned, cupped his hands and said, "Master, why are you up?"

The short fat man giggled and said, "If I don't get up again, wouldn't I be a pig? Do you think I'll just stay on the ground after drinking most of the jar of wine?"

When he said this, he suddenly put away the smile on his face, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Is the person from Dongchang outside here?"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that the master did not sleep too much, when he heard a sound on the deck, he immediately guessed that the people from Dongchang had arrived.He nodded, and told about Zhuang Hengyun's arrival on the boat just now.After listening to the old man, his expression was a little nervous, and he said in his mouth: "The noses of these people are really sharper than dogs. I killed two people yesterday, but I didn't expect them to catch up today."

Before the short fat man could speak, Li Qiufeng shook his head and said to the old man: "Uncle Huang, these fans are not looking for you. But they are also looking for an old man. It just so happened that I got up with Fanzi on the pier in Yibin last night. After a dispute, when the boat turned back, there must have been fans watching around. When they saw Uncle Huang from a distance, they suspected that you were the person they were looking for. These fans came straight from the capital to the middle of Sichuan, but I don't know who the person they are looking for is. As for the two members of the Chongqing Mansion, I think they are not in the same group as the members of the Yumajian."

The old man frowned, and said, "Yu Ma Jian? From the name, he seems to be a horse breeder. Why did he come to Sichuan to arrest people?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The Imperial Horse Supervisor is not just for raising horses for the emperor, it has great authority. Among the 24 yamen in the imperial palace in the capital, the most powerful are the Si Li Supervisor and the Imperial Horse Supervisor. When the Imperial Horse Supervisor was established, it was indeed It was to maintain the emperor's horses, manage the pastures and the emperor's estate, manage the emperor's store, and manage the finances with the household department. Later, the authority became more and more powerful, and he was in charge of the military talisman by imperial edict. He shared the military handle with the Ministry of War and the governor. For the inner court 'shufu'."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Master, Uncle Huang, you may not have heard the name of the horse eunuch, and you don't know how powerful these eunuchs are. At the beginning, Dongchang was under the jurisdiction of the eunuch Si Li. Flying and domineering. The status and authority of the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor is not lower than that of the Dongchang. It was only later that the eunuch of the ceremony had the power to draft tickets, which surpassed other palace offices. But the emperor was not a fool. He promoted The position of the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse inspector enables the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse inspector to monitor each other, and the emperor can maintain the stability of the court."
