Fu Shifeng

Chapter 137 Chaos Unpredictable
It was early in the morning, and Cheng Sanwu followed Afu to Yishan Fang on horseback. Yan Feng, who looked like a scholar in Tsing Yi, stood guarding in front of the Fang gate like a prophet, shaking his tail with his hands, with an elegant demeanor.

"How is the discussion between Cheng Langjun and Shangzhang Jun?" Yan Feng asked as soon as he came up.

Cheng Sanwu got off his horse and said with a smile, "Are you in such a hurry? It seems that it's inconvenient to have one less than ten Taisui."

Yan Fengjun did not appear to be superior to others because of being the chief ten-year-old, he cupped his hands and said: "If I let a hero like Cheng Langjun wander in the rivers and lakes, it would be my dereliction of duty and incompetence."

"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Although Cheng Sanwu said so, he did not hide his pride, and seemed to be very receptive to this compliment.

Cheng Sanwu and Afu followed Yan Fengjun to Gongchen Castle, but they didn't see anyone else at the moment.After each took their seats, Cheng Sanwu took the initiative to say: "Since Eunuch Feng and Lord Yanfeng are so sincere, I can't refuse any more. I will take the position of Lord Zhaoyang, just because I am worried that I don't understand anything. It will mess things up and make you look bad."

"Cheng Lang-jun, don't worry, since taking over the ten-year-old seat, there are many conveniences in doing things, and he is not as restrained as other government offices." Yan Fengjun smiled and said: "And the specific errand arrangements also vary from person to person, Eunuch Feng will not let Cheng Langjun is forced to do things that he is not good at."

"That's good." Cheng Sanwu glanced around and asked casually, "Why don't you see Eunuch Feng?"

Yan Fengjun replied: "Eunuch Feng has to accompany His Majesty most of the time during the day, and I usually arrange things for the ten-year-old."

Cheng Sanwu nodded, and Lord Yanfeng continued: "However, before taking over the position of Lord Zhaoyang, there are still some preparations to be made. Please, Mr. Cheng Lang, come with me."

When Cheng Sanwu got up, he looked at Afu aside, she was expressionless and didn't make any gestures, while Yan Fengjun secretly paid attention to the two of them.

But Cheng Sanwu didn't say a word, followed Yan Fengjun to a secret room, the walls were engraved with talismans, and the top was made of red jade as the wick, emitting a bright but not warm light.

And in the center of the secret room, there is a huge water tank with a diameter of one foot. It looks shiny on the surface, and it is filled with water.

It's just that the water in this vat seems to be bottomless, it's pitch black with a hidden vortex, if an ordinary person falls into the vat, they may sink into it and cannot break free.

"Mr. Cheng, please pour a little blood into the tank." Jun Feng took a sharp dagger from the side and wiped it carefully with a clean white cloth.

"May I ask, what is this for?" Cheng Sanwu asked curiously.

"If a drop of blood enters, I will know the life and death of Cheng Langjun in the future." Yan Fengjun said: "After all, ten Taisui often has to go through dangerous situations. If we don't know anything about the situation of our colleagues, we will not be able to rescue them. force."

"So amazing?" Cheng Sanwu suddenly asked again: "But the previous Lord Zhaoyang was killed by me, so it seems useless for you to guard this tank?"

"That's Mr. Zhaoyang looking for his own death, blindly fighting against Mr. Cheng Lang." Jun Feng replied.

"Speaking such nonsense, this person is also brazen."

Taotie's figure suddenly appeared, walking slowly around Yanfeng Jun, the other party didn't notice: "I think he intends to take blood, if you don't obey one day in the future, he will tie a straw puppet and curse you."

"I understand." Cheng Sanwu turned a blind eye to Taotie, and did not go to receive the short dagger handed over by Yan Fengjun. Instead, he pulled out the hundred-refined magic knife from his waist, and slashed his palm, causing a few drops of blood to fall into the water. .

The blood drops in the water did not dissolve, but spun around, circling down like a swimming fish, diving into the depths and disappearing.

"I'm sorry." Yan Fengjun handed over the wound cloth and hemostatic ointment, Cheng Sanwu took a look at it, and casually picked it up and bandaged it up.

"There is one thing that I hope Cheng Lang-jun will answer truthfully." Yan Feng-jun asked: "Did Cheng Lang-jun kill the family of Shaoren, the founding uncle of Heyang County?"

Hearing this, Cheng Sanwu's hands stopped, and he silently raised his eyes to look at Yan Fengjun, the secret room gradually became stuffy.

Yan Fengjun had no intention of evading, he and Cheng Sanwu faced each other, their eyes exchanged for a moment, Cheng Sanwu took the initiative to say: "I killed it, what do you do? Are you going to arrest me?"

"No, of course I won't do that." Yan Fengjun said sincerely: "In ten years old, there are many people who have committed a lot of evil deeds. Mr. Cheng Lang doesn't have to worry too much about this matter. Besides, Sun Shaoren's family was involved in the crime. Conspiracy, Mr. Cheng Lang will remove one harm for us!"

"Treason?" Cheng Sanwu asked with a frown.

"Sun Shaoren's house found letters related to the remnants of Princess Zhenguo's rebellion against the party." Yan Fengjun explained: "At that time, Princess Zhenguo had been punished for two years, and her party was scattered all over the place and was still operating secretly. If there was no Cheng Lang Your earth-shattering chivalrous actions, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out this group of rebels after a while."

The more Cheng Sanwu listened, the more bizarre he became: "A chivalrous act? There were quite a few court officers and soldiers who chased and killed me back then."

Yan Fengjun smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng Lang joined the army in place of Sun Deshou, the third son of Sun Shaoren's family, and made great contributions in defeating Donghu in Youyan Army Town, right?"

Hearing this, Cheng Sanwu's face immediately darkened.Taotie sat on the side of the vat, applauding repeatedly: "Oh! Yan Fengjun is really brave enough to dare to mention this in front of you. I'm not afraid that you will suddenly become ruthless and just throw this shit over Is Chenbao razed to the ground?"

"Cheng Langjun was a tenant of the Sun family's farm back then. Because of his natural courage, he was forcibly conscripted into the army, and under the name of Sun Deshou, he served in the Yuyang Jingsai Army." Yan Fengjun recounted that Cheng Sanwu had deliberately forgotten His past: "Sun Deshou is proficient in bow and horse, and is also brave and courageous. During the battle with Donghu, he jumped several times to take the lead and captured the enemy's stronghold. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was seriously injured when attacking King Xi's tooth tent. Captain, and return home to recuperate."

The corners of Cheng Sanwu's eyes twitched, as if he had returned to the days when gold and iron horses were shed blood on the battlefield, the sounds of weapons clashing, arrows piercing the air, and the screams of soldiers on both sides echoed in his ears. ...and the freezing cold of the river that night, the strong wind that almost blew people's faces stiff, and the long-distance raid that lasted for days and nights without rest.

But even with so many hardships, it still cannot conceal the high fighting spirit of riding horses into battle, the joy of victory in destroying the enemy's nest, and the heroic blood of singing triumphant songs with comrades-in-arms.

During those days, Cheng Sanwu felt that he was really alive, alive as a person.Even if he pretended to be someone else, most of the meritorious deeds would not belong to him, but the full joy, pain and suffering were enough to make him forget many things.

"Mr. Cheng Lang is for revenge, right?" Yan Fengjun asked: "When you returned to Heyang, you found that the Cheng family was murdered, and you fought for the Sun family all those years. Next, choose to take advantage of Sun Shaoren's birthday banquet and slaughter the whole family."

"Does it make you proud to expose people's scars?" Cheng Sanwu raised his hand and pressed the handle of the knife, his tone was gloomy, and the wind around him faintly stirred.

"Kill him!" Taotie changed into the appearance of Cheng's daughter, came to Cheng Sanwu's ear and whispered: "Break his limbs, pull out his heart, goug out his eyes, let him understand, offend me!" Your people must pay an extremely painful price!"

Taotie's voice hit the depths of his mind, more instinctive than Afu's.

"No, I just don't want Cheng Langjun to be involved in the past." Yan Fengjun looked sincere: "Similarly, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not pursue Cheng Langjun's past."

Cheng Sanwu suppressed the turbulence of his heart, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently. He glared at Yan Fengjun with a look of displeasure on his face.

"I am talking too much, please forgive me." Yan Fengjun bowed his hands and bowed with full courtesy.

Cheng Sanwu was angry in his heart, he didn't bother to return the salute, he turned around and was about to leave the secret room, when Mr. Yanfeng suddenly asked again: "Mr. Cheng Lang, have you ever heard of Taotie?"

"Tao... What are you taking out?" Cheng Sanwu turned his head.

Seeing the confusion and impatience on his face, Mr. Yan Feng paused for a while, waved his hands and said, "It's nothing. Mr. Cheng, please stay outside later, I'll go and prepare your Kanhe Yufu."

After Cheng Sanwu left, Yan Fengjun flicked his fingers towards the water surface of the big tank, the strong wind entered, the water surface boiled, and the talisman seals on the wall of the secret room sensed and emitted light at the same time.After Yan Fengjun made a formula for a moment, a Kanhe fish talisman slowly rose from the water, like a living thing.

Yan Fengjun looked at the Kanhe Fish Talisman thoughtfully.

……

"You look bad."

Afu was quietly drinking tea in her seat, and when she saw Cheng Sanwu coming, she was panting heavily and impatiently.

"Could it be that people in their teens have to do this?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"What's wrong?" Afu was puzzled.

"Mr. Yanfeng asked all the time, wishing I could find out the eighteen generations of my ancestors." Cheng Sanwu gritted his teeth and said.

Afu put down her cup: "Ten Taisui has a lot to do with it after all. It's not surprising that Yanfeng Jun knows more about it. Besides, who among us has no secrets? Knowing each other is a kind of trust."

"My details are about to be picked up by him, but I still don't know if he is a human or a ghost!" Cheng Sanwu scolded.

"Yanfengjun has always been unpredictable. This is his way of controlling Shitaisui." Afu smiled slightly: "It's not that no one in Shitaisui has challenged him in these years, but no one has succeeded."

The two chatted for a while, and Mr. Yan Feng came back again. In addition to the survey and cooperation fish charm, there were also several customs clearance certificates and accessories with purple ribbons.

"Mr. Cheng Lang please take these things." Yan Fengjun said: "Although we are a member of Shi Taisui, we usually do not immediately reveal our identity when we are doing business outside, so here is also the document of the embroidered clothes envoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. .If we need to arrange other disguises in the future, we will also send them to Cheng Langjun."

"Aside from other things, Gong Chenwei is really considerate in his work." Cheng Sanwu flattered him.

Yan Fengjun smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng Lang left Gongchen Castle and went to the selection institute. Eunuch Feng has already arranged a group of subordinates for you, and you can choose capable people from them."

"Eunuch Feng is so generous? Please, Mr. Yanfeng, please thank him for me." Cheng Sanwu put away his things, got up and said goodbye.

"Mr. Cheng Lang can take advantage of this time to get acquainted with the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Jun Feng smiled and said, "Oh, from now on, I should call you Mr. Zhaoyang."

……

As the sky was getting dark, Eunuch Feng took the time to turn around Gongchen Castle in Yishanfang.

"Come back so late?" Yan Fengjun put down the scroll in his hand and didn't get up.

"I have to rush back to the palace later. Concubine Hui is going to give birth tonight. I'm afraid some people will be distracted." Eunuch Feng looked at the official document submitted on the table, glanced at it casually, and asked by the way: "Cheng San Wu has already received the Kanhe Fish Talisman?"

"He took it, and he also took away the people you arranged." Yan Fengjun said: "Shangzhang Jun bought him a big house, which is located in the southeast of Yongningfang."

"The two of them are determined to collude?" Eunuch Feng snorted coldly, and then asked, "Is Cheng Sanwu related to Fu Shifeng?"

"I can't see it right now." Yan Fengjun tapped his knee with his fingertips: "I brought up Cheng Sanwu's past to test it out. Judging from his performance, he did join the army under the name of Sun Deshou in Youyanbian Town for several years. , which is enough to verify that the results of Zheng Xun's investigation were quite credible."

"When it comes to judging prison investigations, Zheng Xun is the best." Feng Gonggong said.

"However, the origin of Cheng Sanwu is still unclear." Yan Fengjun came: "He has no household registration, as if he appeared out of thin air. According to the file, Cheng Sanwu just happened to be taken in by the Cheng family. The past is blank."

"It's really suspicious." Eunuch Feng's face darkened slightly.

Yan Fengjun said: "But based on this alone, it is impossible to prove that Cheng Sanwu and Fu Shifeng are involved. Rather, with Fu Shifeng's style, if you really want to install people, Cheng Sanwu has no foundation." What's the use of fleeing without a place?"

Eunuch Feng looked at the scholar in Tsing Yi: "You said in the past that Fu Shifeng was the best at setting idle chess pieces. He was not noticed by the world on weekdays, and he didn't use them until the critical moment. And you and I both think that there are high-ranking officials in the court today. A member or eyes and ears of Fu Shifeng."

"But... Cheng Sanwu seems to be too conspicuous again." Yan Fengjun was puzzled: "Especially his various actions in Lingzhou, I even suspect that he is deliberately provoking conflicts between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Yang Taichu."

"Can he really have such scheming?" Eunuch Feng obviously didn't believe it.

"Cheng Sanwu either has a chaotic heart and acts entirely on the basis of short-term and transient personal likes and dislikes; or his scheming is as deep as the abyss, to the extent that you and I can't see through it." Jun Feng laughed and said: "I suddenly feel that , if such a person is really a member of Fu Shifeng, it may not be a good thing for them."

Eunuch Feng thought about it for a while: "In the future, regarding Fu Shifeng's tasks, we can properly arrange for him, or... reveal some information in a roundabout way, and see what he will do."

"Isn't Mr. Shangzhang very close to Cheng Sanwu? Why don't you tell her the news, after all, she also participated in beheading An Quti at the beginning." Yan Fengjun laughed.

"Yes." Eunuch Feng threw the document on the table and was about to leave when he remembered something at the end: "By the way, Tian Qinggeng, who will be the prisoner, found me just now and said that he was preparing to build a dance music with exquisite mechanisms." The palace needs a lot of danyu, and I want to take some of it from us."

"This doesn't seem to be in compliance with the rules." Yan Fengjun was a little puzzled: "And how does he know that we can produce enough danyu?"

"Of course he doesn't know." Eunuch Feng waved his hands a little tiredly: "After seeing the construction plan of the dance and music palace, His Majesty was very interested, so he asked him to come to us to get the Danyu. You can arrange this matter Bar."
