A knife in love

Chapter 981

Li Qiufeng said: "Old Master Nie is so open, I don't need to hide it from you. I went to Fengmen Village a few days ago, but I just stumbled into it by mistake. I didn't intend to embarrass the old man. Please don't worry about it."

Old Mrs. Nie said "oh" and said, "Can you tell me the name of Gao?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Li, and I work in Fusi of Jinyiwei South Town?"

Old Mrs. Nie was startled, looked at Li Qiufeng suspiciously, and said, "Why did Nan Si send people to Luoyang instead of Bei Si to handle the case?"

Jinyiwei is divided into Nanzhen Fusi and Beizhen Fusi.Nanzhen Fusi, also known as Nansi, is not in charge of the investigation, but in charge of the internal affairs of Jinyiwei.It was Beizhen Fusi, who went around arresting prisoners and adjudicating cases, that really changed the color of the court officials and the people all over the world.It's just that other than court officials, ordinary people naturally don't know that there is such a difference between Jinyiwei Nansi and Beisi.Old Mrs. Nie asked this question, naturally because he was an official in the officialdom and knew the inside story of Jin Yiwei.

Li Qiufeng said: "This case not only involves officials, but also Japanese pirates and spies from the North and South Divisions. Therefore, the Commander ordered the two Divisions to jointly handle this case. The Northern Division is responsible for arresting people, and our Southern Division is in charge. torture."

After hearing this, Mrs. Nie had no expression on her face, said "Oh", and said, "I see. I wonder if Mr. Li found anything when he arrived in Henan?"

Li Qiufeng said: "There are a lot of discoveries. It's just that they can't be humane to outsiders."

Old Mrs. Nie said: "Lord Li, this matter is related to the lives of my Nie family, so please give me your advice. Maybe you and I can join hands and we can each benefit."

Li Qiufeng said: "Could it be that Mrs. Nie wants to make a deal with Li?"

Old Mrs. Nie said, "Exactly."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "The matter has come to this point, we might as well open the skylight and speak out. The Japanese pirates sneaked into the hinterland of the Central Plains this time, and they came here for my Nie family."

Li Qiufeng said: "Old Master Nie is really straightforward, he even revealed such important confidential matters."

Old Mrs. Nie smiled slightly and said: "Since we are going to join hands to deal with the Japanese pirates, naturally we can't hide anything. But since the old man has told the truth, Mr. Li can't lie to me. May I ask how Jin Yiwei knew the news that the Japanese pirates had arrived in Henan?" ?”

Li Qiufeng said: "Since Mrs. Nie was an official in the court, he naturally knows that Jin Yiwei's eyeliner is everywhere. A few months ago, Beisi received a secret report that a group of pirates from the southeast coast quietly went north and hid in Haizhou I don't know what conspiracy is going on in the sea. Beisi didn't take this matter seriously at the beginning, because over the years, Japanese pirates have often gone north, and the farthest even reached the Liaodong sea area. But the sea area north of Shandong is an important place in Gyeonggi, and the navy has a heavy army Defense is not like the sky high in Fujian where the emperor is far away, and the Japanese pirates can come and go. Therefore, although the Japanese pirates are fierce, they dare not easily appear in the coastal waters of Shandong. Later, Beisi received a secret report from Shandong, saying that this group of Japanese pirates and Shandong Pirates from several islands in the outer sea converged, even sneaked into the land, and then disappeared."

When Li Qiu said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued: "Old Master Nie has been an official in the capital, so he naturally knows that Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi are important places in the capital, and the enemy must not be allowed to approach. The Japanese pirates are on the southeast coast The commotion was fierce, and Tazi soldiers often harassed Mobei, but these two places were a little far away from the capital, and the court didn't take it seriously. When they heard that there were Japanese pirates in Shandong, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment and Jinyiwei immediately became tense and dispatched capable men Go to Shandong to track down the matter.

"After these people arrived in Shandong, they found that these people appeared near Haizhou, and they seemed to be in collusion with the martial arts figures in the Central Plains. It's just that these people were cautious, and they couldn't find any clues. After discussing with the Ministry of Justice and Jin Yiwei, they decided to send people Go to Shandong and Henan to investigate this matter, and we must wipe out the Japanese pirates who have been brought into the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and absolutely do not allow them to harm the capital."

Li Qiufeng's words are false and true, nine out of ten sentences are false.It's just that he cleverly mixed very few truths into lies, and these truths were all things that Mr. Nie knew, so when he heard the lies, Mrs. Nie also regarded them as the truth.

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Mrs. Nie was always prudent, but now his face showed excitement, and he said: "Master Li, Jin Yiwei is going to deal with Japanese pirates, and our Nie family is willing to help!"

Li Qiufeng chuckled and said, "Old Mrs. Nie has made such a determination, maybe it's for self-protection?"

Old Mrs. Nie said solemnly: "That's right. To be honest, our Nie family has lived in Fengmen Village for generations. We were originally honest and only wanted to keep warm, and didn't want to have any disputes with others. But as the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Because of the filth with a family surnamed Xu, the two sides fought with each other."

At this point, Mrs. Nie took a look at Li Qiufeng, and continued, "Since Mr. Li is on duty in Jinyiwei, he naturally knows that there are many big families in places like Henan and Fujian, and it is very easy for outsiders and locals to make trouble. Fights between the two sides are common. This is not a major case of treason, and the imperial court is too lazy to go to the government. The local officials are even more afraid that the suppression will arouse the two sides to join hands to deal with the government, so they turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and are unwilling to intervene in this matter. I don’t know about other places, like these villages around Xiuwu County, no less than 30 or [-] villagers die in armed fighting every year.”

Li Qiufeng was a little surprised, wondering why Mrs. Nie would tell him about the villagers fighting with weapons.

I only heard Mrs. Nie say: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, our Nie family has lived in Fengmen Village together with the Xu family, Lu family, Zhao family, Du family, and Hua family. Wanting to monopolize Fengmen Village, we drove out the other five families. At first, we just blamed and scolded, but later the Xu family actually poisoned the well, killing many people. In the end, our five families were forced to join hands to fight The Xu family had a fight. Although the Xu family's children were tough, they were disadvantaged in numbers and were driven out of Fengmen Village by our five families."

Old Mrs. Nie sighed when he said this, and said: "Although our five families joined forces to deal with the Xu family back then, we did not kill them all because of the friendship in the same village. The world is so big, where can we not support people? I thought the Xu family would eat After suffering this big loss, they moved their family far away and no longer entangled with us. Unexpectedly, they were so determined that they wanted to destroy our five families in order to satisfy their wishes. They sent people to hide outside Fengmen Village. If we When the children of the five families go down the mountain, it’s okay when there are many people. If someone is left alone, they will often be killed by them. At first, our five families didn’t care about it, but later, people died and disappeared every day, and everyone knew that there must be something strange. Later, the five families The family deliberately sent a few people down the mountain, and secretly mobilized a hundred young and strong children to follow behind. As a result, those people had just reached the middle of the mountain, when the Xu family suddenly rushed out and killed them all on the spot. But the hundred of our five families Ten young and strong disciples arrived immediately, and killed another thirty or forty disciples of the Xu family.

"After this incident, the hatred between the two sides became deeper and deeper, and it was no longer resolved. In order to protect ourselves, our five families had no choice but to hunt down and kill the Xu family. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the two sides fought without knowing it. Many battles resulted in heavy casualties. Among them, the Hua family became a scum, and secretly took refuge in the Xu family, luring the Hua family to go down the mountain and fall into the trap of the Xu family. The whole family was slaughtered by the Xu family, and the Hua family was wiped out.

"It's also God who wants to destroy the Xu family. More than ten years ago, the Xu family had internal strife, and several masters died together when they fought. Although all the children of the Xu family who rebelled were killed in the end, the Xu family was severely injured because of this. Fengmen Village made a provocation. After seven or eight years, our four families finally inquired into three hiding places of the Xu family's children. The old man discussed with the patriarchs of the other three families for seven days and seven nights, and finally came up with the plan to wipe out the Xu family in one fell swoop. Way. It's just that although the Xu family is weak, the centipedes, even though they are dead, have five or six hundred people. Moreover, there are several elders in the clan who are not only excellent in martial arts, but also superior in wisdom. With the strength of our four families alone, it is not difficult to defeat the Xu family. It is rare to wipe out the Xu family and completely eliminate future troubles."

When Mrs. Nie said this, Li Qiufeng sneered, and said: "You were afraid that you would not be able to wipe out the entire Xu family, so you colluded with the Japanese pirates and killed the Xu family together. The Japanese pirates have long wanted to get their hands on the Central Plains. Your Nie family came to rescue them. Naturally, I was overjoyed, so I joined forces with the four of you to destroy the Xu family in one fell swoop, right?"
