A knife in love

Chapter 897

Seeing Lao Gao's appearance like this, Li Qiufeng was terrified, pulled out the Xiuchun Knife with his right hand, pointed the knife point on Lao Gao's throat, and said solemnly, "Who are you?"

The Xiuchun Knife shone coldly, and the tip of the knife was only an inch away from Lao Gao's throat.He only needs to flick his wrist forward, and he can kill Lao Gao.

Lao Gao's expression remained the same as usual, and he said word by word: "I, Gao Cheng, work under the banner of General Ye Lingxin, Fusi Ye Lingxin of Jinyiwei North Town, and take up the post of Xiaoqi."

Li Qiufeng looked at this nearly seventy-year-old cook, and couldn't believe his ears.He was afraid that the old man would be deceitful, so the long knife in his hand was still on Lao Gao's throat, and his eyes looked up and down at the old man.

Lao Gao's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "I know that it is unbelievable to say this. More than 40 years ago, I was selected as an errand in the Jinyiwei, and was first sent to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to work as a book office. Later, there was a demon book case in Suzhou, and Lord Ye was ordered To investigate this case, because I used to be a cook, I sent him to Shiqiaoju at the entrance of Wuyi Lane in Suzhou as an eyeliner. Later, although the main culprit of the demon book case was captured by us, the whereabouts of two accomplices are unknown. Ye My lord ordered me to stay in Shiqiaoju as a cook and continue to hunt down the two accomplices. Later, the old man of the Nie family went to Shiqiaoju for dinner and liked the Jiangnan dishes I cooked, so he brought me back to Fengmen Village. Rough calculations , 43 years have passed since the day he entered this village."

The more Li Qiufeng listened, the more surprised he became, but for a while he couldn't confirm whether Lao Gao was really Jin Yiwei.He pondered for a while, and then asked: "Why do you think I'm a member of the government?"

Lao Gao said: "Actually, not only do I think that your lord is a member of the government, but also Mrs. Nie already knows your lord's identity."

Li Qiufeng was startled, he thought to himself that after he left the capital, he did not reveal his whereabouts.When I was in the Imperial Tomb, Yong'an City, and Hutou Rock, although I fought with Tang He, Liu Sheng Zongyan and others in front of the heroes, it was either in the dark and deep Imperial Tomb, or I faced Liu Sheng alone. Zong Yan and other martial arts masters.Ordinary people in the world naturally don't recognize him, let alone know that he is working in Jinyiwei.After arriving in Luoyang and Xiuwu County, although he showed his martial arts, he also used the Jinyiwei waist badge to scare off Cui Yanshou and others.It's just that Yin Butou and Master Feng, who have seen his waist badge, are extremely shrewd people, and they will never leak this news.The old guy surnamed Nie is hiding in the isolated Fengmen Village, so it is even more impossible for him to know his identity, let alone the cook in front of him? "

Lao Gao saw that Li Qiufeng was frowning and remained silent for a while, knowing that he was puzzled, so he said to Li Qiufeng: "My lord, the reason why we know you are from the government. No, no, we should know that you are Jinyiwei. It is because of the knife in your hand."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the Xiuchun knife in his hand.The Xiuchun Knife was made by the workshop in the palace, and it has always been used only by Jin Yiwei.However, in terms of the shape of the knife, it is not much different from the ring head knife used by people in the Jianghu.However, the iron used to cast the Xiuchun knife was selected by the government, which is much better than the iron used by ordinary people in the world to make weapons.The blade of the Xiuchun Dao is narrower than the Huan Shou Dao used by people in the Jianghu, and the blade is sharper.The Xiuchun knives of some Jinyiwei officials are more elaborately made, and the scabbard and handle are inlaid with gold gems, which is quite different from the ordinary ring head knives.It's just that the embroidered spring knife that Xu Yingyang gave to Li Qiufeng was used by ordinary school captains.If he hadn't worked in Jinyiwei, or someone who had paid attention to the weapons used by Jinyiwei, he would never know that the knife in Li Qiufeng's hand was the Xiuchun knife that frightened the officials and common people all over the world.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng believed in the words of the cook in front of him.He slowly withdrew the Xiuchun knife, and said in his mouth: "If you are really Jin Yiwei, the old guy named Nie wants you to be his cook, didn't you report it to your superior?"

Lao Gao smiled wryly and said: "The incident happened in a hurry, Mrs. Nie was extremely powerful, so I wanted to follow him to Qingzhou, Shandong. At that time, I didn't know his identity, and thought he was an accomplice with the two escaped accomplices. Yes So I just left a message to the shopkeeper, asking him to pass it on to the person who connected with me, and then I left with Mrs. Nie. After two or three months, I didn't know that Mrs. Nie had nothing to do with the demon book case at all, he just I love to eat the Jiangnan dishes I cook, so I want to be his cook. After I found out about this, I decided to sneak away. But accidentally, I discovered that Mrs. Nie and some bigwigs in the capital were secretly There are contacts, and he has many things that are extremely secretive, so I have kept my heart.

"Grandpa Nie lived in Qingzhou for five months. To be honest, if I left at that time, Mrs. Nie would never have any doubts. I just thought that I missed my family and went back to my hometown secretly. It's just that I had already found out that Mrs. Nie He is definitely not an ordinary person, and seems to have a huge plot. I tried my best to meet Jin Yiwei's eyeliner in Qingzhou, Shandong, and asked him to report the matter to Lord Ye. After a few days, I received a message from Lord Ye I will follow Mrs. Nie to find out exactly what this person is going to do."

When Lao Gao said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng, and then said: "Since Master Ye has given the order, I have no choice but to follow Mrs. Nie. Later, he returned to Henan, first lived in Luoyang for a while, and then returned to Fengmen Village Since then, I have hardly left the village. When I first came to the village, Mrs. Nie was not suspicious of me, but the boss of the Nie family, Nie Dingzhong, and the second child, Nie Dingdong, were not at ease with me. I just waited carefully on the old man. There was nothing suspicious about him. Later, Nie Dingdong was killed by his enemies in Lingnan, and Nie Dingzhong was sent down the mountain by the old master to handle errands. Since then, he seldom returned to Fengmen Village, so it was extremely safe in the village. The boss of the Nie family was out on errands , the second, third, and fifth died in the hands of the enemy one after another. The fourth Nie Dingnan is the head of Fengmen Village, and he trusts me very much. I am quite at ease in Fengmen Village. I lived in Fengmen Village for five years. Six years later, I already knew that the reason why the Nie family and the Lu, Zhao, and Du families hid in Fengmen Village was just to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, and they had no second thoughts about the court. Therefore, I tried several times to resolve this matter. Informed Mr. Ye. At first, Mr. Ye sent back two messages to me, asking me not to leave Fengmen Village for the time being, and continue to stare at Mr. Nie. Later, Mr. Ye did not send any more orders, and the eyeliner of Jinyiwei who was connected with me also disappeared. Gone. I was alone and helpless. I wanted to leave Fengmen Village, but I didn’t get the order from the Shangguan, so I had to stay here. It’s been more than forty years. I didn’t expect to see the Xiuchun Knife again today..."

When Lao Gao said this, his eyes were extremely complicated, with joy, joy, and sadness at the same time.

Looking at this white-haired old man, Li Qiufeng was deeply moved.He works in Fusi of Jinyiwei South Town. He has read many case files of Jinyiwei, and knows that many Jinyiwei's eyeliners are sent to various places to do business, which can be said to be extremely dangerous.Some were sent to the desert, but their identities were discovered by the Tartars, and they were often tortured by the Tartars. After being tortured until they were inhuman shape, they were quartered by five horses or hacked into pieces, and the corpses were burned to ashes and thrown in the stables. or in the sheepfold.Some were sent to islands and mixed with Japanese pirates.It's just that the Japanese pirates are cunning and cruel, and most of the Jin Yiwei sent there have been seen through their identities.The viciousness and cruelty of these Fusang evil spirits are no less than that of the Tartars.They often cut hundreds of wounds on the captured Jin Yiwei's body, then tied them to wooden stakes and placed them in the sea water. One can imagine how painful these captured Jin Yiwei were.After Jin Yiwei was dying, he became the object of Japanese pirates practicing sword skills.When Japanese pirates slashed and killed Jin Yiwei, they often deliberately didn't use all their strength, cut off only half of the neck, and left the wounded to die of pain. This kind of torture can be said to be extremely cruel.

Compared with these Jin Yiwei who were slaughtered to death, the experience of the cook in front of him can be said to be much more ordinary.Just thinking that he spent more than 40 years in this deep mountain, and had to deal with the cunning and cunning members of the Nie family every day, Li Qiufeng couldn't help shivering.He thought to himself, I would rather be killed by a knife than live in this ghost village for a year or so.Gao Cheng is just an ordinary Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, but he is so tenacious, which is really admirable.
