A knife in love

Chapter 2483
The three of them talked and laughed, and they ate all the food before they knew it.Soon, Jin Yiwei came to clear away the bowls and dishes, and sent another pot of fragrant tea.Wang Xiaoyu kept turning the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile, "No wonder everyone wants to be an official. It's really a carefree experience to have someone take care of everything."

Li Qiufeng smiled wryly, and said, "Miss Wang, you only see thieves eating meat, but you don't see thieves being beaten. Being an official has many advantages, but the risk is also great. Throughout the dynasties, officials who can end well Not many, but there are countless officials who were punished and lost their lives, and even caused trouble to their descendants. Take the reign of Emperor Taizu of this dynasty as an example, no less than 5 officials were convicted and killed. Emperor Yongle attacked When he went to Nanjing, he massacred the courtiers of Emperor Jianwen, and killed and exiled no less than 4 officials. Emperor Yingzong trusted Wang Zhen, refused to listen to the advice of his loyal ministers, and beat ministers with court sticks, killing and injuring countless people Later, he seized the door and regained the throne, set off a big prison, and even killed the loyal minister Yu Qian. When the first emperor Zhengde was in power, he liked to play, and the power fell to the side. First, Liu Jin and Qiu Luan took power. Many officials were killed. Later, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin rose up, and many loyal officials were killed. After Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, because of the dispute over the ceremony, officials who persuaded them were beaten to death on the spot with a stick There are dozens of people. Ms. Wang, if you see those bloody corpses with missing limbs, I'm afraid you won't be envious of officials."

Li Qiufeng finished speaking, when he heard footsteps coming from the yard, he immediately stopped talking and turned his head to look at the door.He heard footsteps stop before the door, and then someone outside the house said respectfully: "Master Xu, invite Li Baihu, Miss Murong and Miss Wang to talk in the main hall of the front yard."

Li Qiufeng agreed, and whispered a few words to Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu, and then took the two girls out of the wing.I saw a Jinyi guard standing outside the door, and seeing the three people coming out, he immediately led the way and led the three into the main hall of the front yard.I saw a lot of candles lit in the main hall, and a round table was set up under the hall, and there were still many leftovers on the table.Xu Yingyang was sitting on the left side of the table, Zhou Han was sitting on the right side of the table, and they were talking quietly.Seeing Li Qiufeng and others coming in, Zhou Han hurriedly jumped up from his chair, bowed to Li Qiufeng to the ground, and said respectfully: "The villain sees the adults."

Li Qiufeng waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't need to be polite.Xu Yingyang also stood up at this time, and said with a smile: "Lord Li, Xu has already told Lord Zhou Han. He vowed to help Jin Yiwei to do things and arrest all these green forest robbers. As for how to act, Lord Li We need to discuss carefully with the village master Zhou."

After Xu Yingyang finished speaking, several Jinyi guards walked over quickly, cleaned up the dishes on the table, and then retreated.Zhou Han said to Li Qiufeng with a smile on his face: "Just now Master Xu has ordered the villain to obey Master Li's orders in everything. I would like to ask Master Li to show you how to behave in Wangjiazhuang this time."

Li Qiufeng pondered for a while, and then said to Zhou Han: "After Zhou Zhaizhu entered Wangjiazhuang, he only said that the three of us are slaves of Shuangyan Village. If a group of Baishan faction asked why Zhou Han was the only one on the wooden bridge The village owner and Lin Laosan, you only said that you were worried about being intercepted by officers and soldiers on the way, so you diverted to Dongliao County. Although I have met Wu Yiyi and others, but this time when I enter Wangjiazhuang, I will Changing his appearance to go, he can't see my true face, so he will never be suspicious. In short, after the village master Zhou arrives at Wangjiazhuang, just pretend that nothing happened, and the three of us are your subordinates."

Zhou Han repeatedly agreed, and told Li Qiufeng and others the names and origins of several Green Forest Village owners who knew him well.Seeing that the two of them had made up their minds, Xu Yingyang said: "The good students will rest tonight and go to Wangjiazhuang early tomorrow morning. If someone asks where Lin Laosan has gone, Village Master Zhou will only say that he has a sudden illness. I found a medical center in the city to rest and recuperate, and those green forest thieves would not be suspicious. After this is done, Zhou Zhaizhu has made great contributions to the imperial court. A penny of money. Since then, I have become a rich man at ease, far better than being a mountain king who licks blood with a knife on the mountain."

After Xu Yingyang finished speaking, Zhou Han was full of joy, and bowed to Xu Yingyang to the ground, thanking him and saying all the good things.It wasn't until Xu Yingyang waved his hand that Zhou Han shut up.Xu Yingyang called two Jinyi guards and asked them to "send" Zhou Han to rest. After the three of them walked out of the main hall, he turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng and others: "Just now Xu threatened and lured Zhou Han, and he has already persuaded Zhou Han. , I guessed that this person would not dare to make troubles. However, to be cautious, Xu forced him to take a poison pill. If he did not take the antidote within three days, when the poison broke out, he would die in an extremely miserable state. Zhou Han's life was at stake. In the hands of Xu, even if he had the guts of a bear, he would not dare to make trouble in Wangjiazhuang."

When Xu Yingyang said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Master Li must firmly remember that the three of you are going to Wangjiazhuang this time, not to fight against the green forest thieves and Japanese pirates, but to spy on them If we set fire to the ship, these green forest thieves will get in the way and spoil our major affairs. Therefore, after arriving at Wangjiazhuang, we must not clash with the enemy. Once we find out the truth in the village, we should rush back to the city immediately Join Xu, don't delay in fighting."

Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement, said a few words to Xu Yingyang, and then said goodbye.He sent Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu back to the wing room first, then returned to his own room, carefully recalled all the things that happened that day, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, after Li Qiufeng finished washing, Jin Yiwei invited him to discuss matters in the main hall of the front yard.When Li Qiufeng arrived at the main hall, Xu Yingyang had already arrived.The two chatted for a while, and Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu were led to the main hall by Jin Yiwei.When Jin Yiwei filled the table with food and wine, two more Jin Yiwei brought Zhou Han in.Xu Yingyang invited everyone to sit down for dinner. After Li Qiufeng sat down with Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu, Zhou Han said some polite words, and then sat down with confidence.Xu Yingyang said with a smile: "Originally, Xu should toast the four of you and wish them success immediately. It's just that drinking alcohol early in the morning is too weird. Xu had to replace the wine with tea, and wish the four of you a smooth trip. "

After he finished speaking, he raised his teacup.Li Qiufeng and others also raised their teacups one after another, touched the teacup in Xu Yingyang's hand lightly, drank the tea in the cup, and then picked up the chopsticks to drink porridge and vegetables.After breakfast, Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, Wang Xiaoyu, and Zhou Han changed their clothes again, and they looked like ordinary people at first glance.Two Jin Yiwei even recombed Li Qiufeng's hair, and applied a thin layer of mucus on his face. After the mucus dried out, Li Qiufeng's face turned sallow, and he looked sick at a glance. Sick, like a different person.Even if Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu were standing beside him, if they didn't look carefully, they might not be able to recognize him as Li Qiufeng.
