A knife in love

Chapter 802

The young man in Tsing Yi showed a surprised expression on his face.It's just that this surprise disappeared in an instant, and what Li Qiufeng saw was still a delicate and calm face.

Li Qiufeng held the waist knife tightly wrapped in a list in his left hand, walked forward unhurriedly, and said in his mouth, "How many years have you been on duty?"

The young man in Tsing Yi still respectfully walked in front of Li Qiufeng's right, and said word by word: "It's been two years."

Li Qiufeng said: "It looks like you are on duty at Nanzhen Fusi, why haven't I seen you?"

The young man in Tsing Yi said: "The humble job was started in Nanjing, and has been working in Nanzhili since then. In April of this year, the capital sent a secret order to transfer the humble job to the account of Mr. Yu, the general soldier of Fujian. It was not until last month that the order was received. Back in the capital, I worked for Jinyiwei South Town Fusi. Li Baihu had already left the capital when I came to Beijing, so we never met each other. But I have heard about Li Baihu's deeds, and I admire him very much."

Li Qiufeng listened to the young man in Tsing Yi's account of staying in Fujian for more than half a year, so he immediately took his heart.He glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi, and said in his mouth: "Li is no longer Jin Yiwei, the word 'hundred households', don't mention it again."

The young man in Tsing Yi shook his head, and said with a smile: "Master Yang never said that you are not a Jinyi Guard, so you must obey Master Yang's orders for your humble position."

When the two were talking, they had reached the end of the alley before they knew it.But he saw a high wall not far ahead, although there was a door on the wall, but the two wooden doors were nailed to death with five or six thick planks, and it seemed impossible to pass through.Most of a mud house on the left has collapsed, and a few dead trees have grown out of the dilapidated house, with only a few dead leaves left on the dead branches, crackling in the cold wind.The earthen house on the right is still relatively complete, the roof is covered with black tiles, and a lot of dead grass has grown from the gaps in the tiles.

The young man in Tsing Yi walked to the door of the earthen house on the right, stretched out his hand and tapped on the door twice, only to hear a "squeak", and the two wooden doors opened inward.The young man in Tsing Yi stood in front of the door and said to Li Qiufeng, "Li Baihu, please stop."

When Li Qiufeng walked to the door, he saw that the room was pitch black, and he couldn't see what it looked like inside.If it were someone else, they would definitely not dare to enter the house, even if they had the courage to enter the house, they would be extremely careful.Li Qiufeng didn't care, he nodded to the young man in Tsing Yi, and then walked into the house.

Looking into the house from the door, there was only darkness in front of him.It's just that after Li Qiufeng crossed the threshold, he found that many candles were lit everywhere in the house, illuminating the room with light.There is only a table and a chair placed against the wall in the room, and there are no other objects, so it looks quite empty.

Li Qiufeng is not alone in the house.On the chair behind the table, there was a person sitting there.

This man was wearing a square scarf and a gray robe, with his hands wrapped in big sleeves, and he was looking at Li Qiufeng quietly.

Li Qiufeng walked to the table, clasped his hands together, and said, "Master Xu, we meet again."

That person was Xu Yingyang, the new commander of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi.It's just that at this time he was not wearing the official uniform of Jinyi Guards, but changed into a commoner's attire, looking a bit like a teacher in the study.

I saw Xu Yingyang stood up from the chair, walked around the table, walked slowly to Li Qiufeng, and said in a deep voice: "I think Li Baihu guessed that it is the official who wants to see you?"

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "If it wasn't for Master Xu, who would have found the inn where Li was staying without any effort? Besides, there have been major cases in Xiuwu County, and Master Xu just happened to be here. Ask Li for clarification."

Xu Yingyang looked at Li Qiufeng, pondered for a moment, and said, "Does Li Baihu know what I want to ask?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Li believes that the Wuji Temple, Xiaoyao Temple and Kongming Temple were not burnt by Jinyiwei. In addition, when Li and the officials from Xiuwu County returned to Xiuwu County last night, they found 71 people who went to Yuntai Mountain to help. People in Jianghu were killed. All signs point to Jin Yiwei, but Li thinks there are many doubts in it. Master Xu brought Li here just to ask what he thinks about this matter?"

Xu Yingyang nodded, stretched out his hands from his big sleeves, but put his back behind his back, paced slowly in front of the table, and said, "I'm afraid Li Baihu didn't know that he died in Xiuwu County and Yuntai Mountain." Those 71 people are not the only ones who lived on the roads between them."

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he said, "Has Mr. Xu been to the scene?"

Xu Yingyang shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Someone has been looking forward to Jin Yiwei's appearance at the murder scene. If I appear rashly, wouldn't it be a case for someone?"

Li Qiufeng was startled, and he admired Xu Yingyang even more.When Yun Feiyang was still alive, although Yang Zhenzhong was the commander of Jinyiwei, Yun Feiyang held Beizhen Fusi firmly in his own hands. To mobilize the masters of Fusi in Beizhen to do things, Yun Feiyang often puts his foot down and procrastinates.If not, Yang Zhenzhong would not have used the masters of Beizhen Fusi, but let Li Qiufeng, who belongs to Nanzhen Fusi, rescue Yan Dufei from the prison.When Li Qiufeng was working in Jinyiwei, although he had met Xu Yingyang several times.But the man had always been taciturn and had never been conspicuous.It wasn't until Li Qiufeng went to the imperial mausoleum with Wuhu Villa, and Yun Feiyang sent Xu Yingyang beside Yu Changyuan and others, that Li Qiufeng had a lot of interaction with him.Listening to Xu Yingyang's eloquent talk at this time, Li Qiufeng realized that this person was hiding something, and if he was talking about it wisely, he might not be under Yun Feiyang.

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was silent, Xu Yingyang knew that he was thinking about it, so he continued: "Although Li Baihu is no longer working in Jinyiwei, there are some things that I don't have to hide from you, and even if I want to hide them from you, I'm afraid I can't hide it. As early as three months ago, Mr. Yang received a secret report from our brothers in Fujian, saying that a group of Japanese pirates abandoned their boats and landed along the coast of Fujian, and their whereabouts were strange. The famous brothers are all extremely shrewd people, but when they were tracking this group of Japanese pirates, although the news was spread, these brothers disappeared one after another strangely. When the brothers sent from the capital to support arrived in Fujian, the gang The Japanese pirates have disappeared.

"Since the fifth year of Jiajing, spying on the Japanese pirates' military situation has been an important task for our Jinyiwei. After receiving the secret report, Lord Yang knew that these Japanese pirates sneaked into Fujian must have a huge conspiracy. Therefore, he issued a secret order. We want our brothers lurking in Fujian to find out the whereabouts of these Japanese pirates. Because two groups of fusang samurai warriors in Ningbo Shibo Division had an internal conflict and killed several officials. These Fusang warriors were lawless. The common people of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Japanese capital, Liu Jin, Qianhu Zhang Tong and other officials also died under the sword of the Fusang warriors. Master Yang worried that this group of Japanese pirates who had sneaked into the mainland was to deal with the Fusang warriors who committed crimes in Ningbo, so he mobilized a group of brothers Going to Fujian, I want to wipe out this group of Japanese pirates on the way. However, Master Yunfei Yangyun refused to send the capable brothers of Beizhen Fusi to Fujian. In desperation, Master Yang had to transfer people from Nanzhen Fusi to go. Fujian handles the case..."

When Xu Yingyang said this, Li Qiufeng said: "The brother who brought Li here, presumably also participated in this case?"

Xu Yingyang nodded, and said: "His name is Zhang Hao, and he works as a small banner in Nanzhen Fusi. It's just that he joined Jinyiwei in Nanjing and has been working in Nanzhili, so he has never met Li Baihu. Although this person is not very old, he is an expert at handling cases. Of the 35 brothers sent by Lord Yang to Fujian to investigate the case, only Zhang Hao escaped back."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "Thirty-five people, only one escaped, and all the other brothers..."

He said this and couldn't go on.Xu Yingyang nodded, and said in his mouth: "34 brothers died in the First World War. For our Jinyiwei, since the day when Emperor Taizu gave the flag, there has never been such a big defeat. After Zhang Hao escaped, Fujian President The soldiers sent 34 elite soldiers to escort him back to the capital. According to Zhang Hao, he and 34 other brothers tracked down the group of Japanese pirates who abandoned the ship and landed. At first, it went smoothly, and the Japanese pirates didn’t seem to notice that anyone was following them But when we arrived at a barren mountain at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi, the Japanese pirates suddenly disappeared. We brothers split up to look for it. Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates had already planned a poisonous plan and surrounded them from all directions. It turned out that this group of Japanese pirates was extremely cunning, although From the very beginning, they noticed that someone was following them, but they pretended not to know about it. When the Japanese pirates abandoned the boat and landed, they actually split into two groups. The former group of Japanese pirates lured our brothers to follow them, while the latter group of Japanese pirates followed far behind, intending to Surround us brothers and wipe them out. That barren mountain is the battlefield preset by the Japanese pirates. Poor us brothers, although all of us are shrewd and not weak in martial arts, we just fell into the tricks of the Japanese pirates, and we are not familiar with the terrain of the barren mountain. Surrounded by groups, the bloody battle lasted for a day and a night, and [-] brothers died in battle. Only Zhang Hao escaped from the encirclement of Japanese pirates with wit.

"Zhang Hao returned to the capital, met Lord Yang, and explained the process of the matter in detail. He also said that these Japanese pirates are not only cunning and vicious, but also know how to use magic. On the barren hills, our brothers did not lose the wind at the beginning. A lot of Japanese pirates died. But then suddenly the sky changed, and there were many terrible evil spirits around us. Our brothers panicked and were taken advantage of by Japanese pirates. Otherwise, there would not have been so many casualties. Zhang Hao said that he saw several Han people Leading the way for these Japanese pirates, and he eavesdropped on these Han people, it seems that they are going to take the Japanese pirates to Luoyang, but I don’t know what these people are going to do in Luoyang.”

When Xu Yingyang said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng, and then said: "Li Baihu, since the beginning of this year, the capital has not been peaceful. Li Baihu has heard about many of these things. Some people want to mobilize troops to plot rebellion Lord Yang had to stay in the capital to thwart the plots of these rebellious officials and thieves, so he was unable to go to Luoyang. It was not until more than a month ago that the chaos around the capital finally subsided, and Lord Yang mobilized his men to come to Henan to intercept and kill these It’s just that soon after we arrived in Luoyang, a very strange thing happened.”
