The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 137 Ordering Chang Feng to Temporarily Act as the Governor of Nanzhen ([-] words)
The military situation in Datong is urgent.Emperor Hongzhi didn't panic at all.

Because a person has rushed to Datong with the Shaanxi-Gansu Frontier Army for reinforcements.This person is the No.1 general of the Chenghua Dynasty, the current trilateral leader, Wang Yue.

Wang Yue's military talent is no less than that of Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War.

When Wang Zhi lost power at the beginning, Wang Yue ate melons and was dismissed.After being recommended by Huai En, Emperor Hongzhi re-appointed him as the head of the trilateral system and took charge of the imperial court's [-] frontier troops in the northwest.

In addition, Emperor Hongzhi had already drawn up a plan with the generals.Datong was reinforced by Ma Wensheng with [-] Beijing soldiers.

Two reinforcements went to Datong, and it was difficult for the little prince to break through the frontier and invade the bandits.

Daming's enemies are not only in the open, but also in the dark.

At the same time that Emperor Hongzhi dispatched troops and generals, the Fusi of Jinyiwei Nanzhen was also fighting the Tatars carefully.

About [-] Mongols lived in the capital.

The Taizu once issued an edict, "There is one family in the four seas. Anyone who stays in the land of China and supports the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, regardless of Mongolian and Han, is a citizen of Ming Dynasty!"

In the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties, many Mongolian officials worked for the court.For example, Guantong, the general of the Hongwu Dynasty, was a Mongol.

Jing Nan is a famous general, Tongqing Hou Huo is really a Mongol.Wu Yuncheng, Marquis of Gongshun, who accompanied Taizong on several expeditions to the grasslands, was also a Mongol.

The descendants of the Mongols have multiplied in the capital for several generations.Although they have Mongolian looks, they wear Han clothes and speak Chinese.

Make an inappropriate analogy.Seeing Mongols in the capital of the Ming Dynasty is as common as seeing black people in Guangzhou in later generations.

The settlement of the Limeng people in the capital is in the "Daguanying" near Guang'anmen in the southern city.A high-ranking official is also a Tartar official.

Over the years, the Tatar Ministry has dispatched a large number of spies to the capital to infiltrate the high-ranking officials' camps to spy on Ming's intelligence.

The dark war has been going on.

Of course, Nanzhen Fusi has always been in charge of this secret war.It has nothing to do with Chang Feng of Beizhen Fusi.

On the [-]th night of February in the first year of Hongzhi.

The mansion of Liao Fanyong, the governor of Nanzhen.

Liao Fanyong was sorting out the information gathered by Datong's eyes and ears in the library.

Tonight, a hidden stake in the high-ranking official camp will come to the library and report a big secret to him.

Chang Feng is now the most powerful in Jinyiwei.Liao Fanyong did not take Chang Feng seriously.

For more than 20 years, the favored people in Jinyiwei have changed from batch to batch.Today, he is still a celebrity beside the emperor, but tomorrow he may become a prisoner.

But no matter who is in power, he cannot do without him, Lao Liao.Because Lao Liao has been in charge of foreign military affairs for 15 years and runs a huge intelligence network.

The secretive nature of the intelligence network determines the identities of the numerous hidden piles, and only Liao Fanyong knows them.

If Liao Fanyong loses power or dies, this information network will be wiped out immediately.

The commanding envoy of Liushui, the iron-strength envoy of Nanzhen.This sentence is not an exaggeration.

At the same time, the high official camp.

A man of Mongolian appearance was walking down the street.This person's name is Guan Gong, and he is Liao Fanyong's secret stake, who has been lurking in the Daguan camp.He tried a hundred households in Jinyiwei Middle School.

Counting up to five generations, his ancestor was the favorite minister of the great grandfather, the Mongolian general Guantong.

Guan Gong has just mastered a huge secret.Liao Fanyong needs to be reported in time.

He passed a roasted mutton stall and heard a few Mongolian men chatting.

A skinny man said: "I want to marry a woman from the Han family. Han women are white."

A fat man taught him his experience of marrying a Han woman: "Don't tell a Han woman that you are a captive who was captured from the grassland by Wang Zhi's army 14 years ago."

"You tell the Han women that your ancestors were warriors of Wuliangha Sanwei, who followed Emperor Yongle Feng Tianjing through hardships. The Han women will rush to marry you!"

Guan Gong was extremely disdainful of this conversation.

But he didn't have time to teach those two wandering fools a lesson.He has more important things to do tonight.

Go two streets further and you will be out of Daguanying.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, so he took a shortcut and entered an alley.

At this moment, four men in black blocked him back and forth.The visitor is not good!
Guan Gong slipped a dagger out of his sleeve: "Who?"

The man in black sneered: "The descendants of Genghis Khan."

After speaking, the man in black held a prairie machete and rushed past Guan Gong like a shooting star.

Guan Gong fell to the ground with a bang, blood gushed from his neck
Half an hour later, Liao Fanyong's mansion.

Inside and outside the Liao Mansion, there are [-] Nanzhen Fusi Lishi guards.It's not because Liao Fanyong is playing tricks that the guards are so strict.

There are too many people in this world who want to take his life.These include Tatars, Oalas, Nan'an, Turfans, and Japanese.

Who let the intelligence network in his hands reach the hinterland of the grassland in the north, Annan in the south, Waguo in the east, and Hami in the west?

Liao Fanyong could only be cautious.

A Mongolian man wearing a black gauze hat came to the gate of the Liao Mansion.

The head guard flag stepped forward: "Password?"

The Mongolian replied: "Everyone can make up for the incompleteness of the heavenly way."

The gatekeeper general banner answered: "It's only for the common people, not for the master. Go in."

The Meng people went straight into Liao's mansion.

Downstairs in the library.Ten wrestlers stopped him.

The leading Xiaoqi searched the Mongolian man.After making sure that he didn't have a weapon on him, he entered the library.

Meng went up to the second floor and came to Liao Fanyong.

Liao Fanyong ordered him: "Take off the bamboo hat."

Mengren did as he did and took off the bamboo hat.

Liao Fanyong's complexion changed, he directly picked up the scorpion crossbow placed on the desk, and pointed it at Mengren: "Where is Guan Gong? Who are you?"

Meng Ren smiled slightly: "Guan Baihu is dead. You will die tonight."

Liao Fanyong sneered: "Really? You can't bring your weapon into the library. I have a scorpion crossbow in my hand. The crossbow is fast from seven steps away, and accurate and fast within seven steps!"

After speaking, Liao Fanyong pulled the scorpion crossbow.

"Click", the crossbow actually got stuck!
Meng Ren said: "I didn't bring any weapons. But, the deadliest weapon in this world is - people!"

After speaking, Meng rushed to Liao Fanyong.

Liao Fanyong shouted: "There are assassins!"

Ten wrestlers outside the library rushed into the library upon hearing the sound.

When they rushed to the second floor of the study building, they found that their Liao Zhenfu envoy was lying on the desk.

A mongoose rushed towards them.

The wrestlers immediately wrestled with the Mongols.Ten people against one person, the Nameng people can't escape no matter how clever their methods are.

But this Mongolian man didn't want to escape at all, but wanted to die with all his heart.He deliberately slammed his chest against the tip of a wrestler's knife.

"Pfft!" The sharp blade pierced his chest.Meng died instantly.

After half an hour.The entire Liao Mansion was brightly lit.

A large number of Jin Yiwei surrounded the Liao Mansion with three floors inside and three floors outside.

Zhu Ji, Sun Luan and Chang Feng stood in front of Liao Fanyong's body.

Zhu Ji inspected the corpse and said, "The neck was severed. The assassin is a master."

Chang Feng picked up the scorpion crossbow next to it: "It's strange, why is the reed of the scorpion crossbow stuck? It seems that someone has tampered with it."

Zhu Ji took the scorpion crossbow and looked at it: "It should be a combination of inside and outside. Someone in Liao's mansion tampered with the scorpion crossbow worn by Lao Liao. It was a life-and-death situation, and Lao Liao couldn't protect himself."

Chang Feng asked: "This is the investigation?"

Zhu Ji shook his head slightly: "I'll investigate this matter. I called you here because I have another important errand."

"Nanzhen Fusi has a [-]-page roster. It records a thousand names. It is a list of Nanzhen Fusi's secret piles distributed in the grasslands, the Western Regions, the southern border, and the country of Japan."

"The hidden pile's real name, identity, cover identity in a foreign country, and contact information. They are all clearly recorded on it."

"I need you to find this roster. Otherwise, the intelligence network that Fusi Nanzhen has painstakingly managed for decades will be gone!"

"The military situation in the north is urgent now. It is the time when the imperial court needs this intelligence network."

Chang Feng understood.The errand that Zhu Ji gave him was still to search the house.Copy the home of the late Fushi Nanzhen and find the roster.

Zhu Ji added: "The sooner the better!"

Chang Feng nodded.He walked down the library and told Fatty Xu: "Call all the five hundred brothers who checked Qianhu's Beijing to the Liao Mansion. Bring all twenty dogs."

Check the number of staff of the Thousand Households Office is 100 people were sent to other provinces to search their homes.There are only 500 people in Beijing.

This group of people has undergone long-term training by Chang Feng, and each of them is able to perform house raids on their own.

The Liao Mansion is actually not that big.There is only one study building and more than 60 rooms. 500 people can search the Liao Mansion to the bottom overnight.

If the roster is in Fuchu, it will definitely be found.

Half an hour later, Wu Bai Pao Ze came to the Liao Mansion.

Chang Feng asked every eight people to form a team and be in charge of a room.He led 20 people to search the library.

He walked up to Liao Fanyong's body, and bowed deeply: "Master Liao, it's nothing to blame. It's all for Daming."

Next, Chang Feng began to use the Jubao Ring and the Silver Stirrup to search for the secret room.

However, I worked until midnight and still got nothing.

Deputy Qianhu Qian Ning came over: "Master Chang, I checked all 63 rooms. I found three hidden compartments."

"In the first dark space, there are two smart weapons; in the second dark space, 50 taels of gold; in the third dark space, 300 taels of silver."

"No roster or anything like that."

Chang Feng said: "Call the brothers to the library. Flip through the books! See if there are any clues in the thousands of volumes in the library."

There are thousands of books in the library.Chang Feng wondered if it would be similar to the last time he raided the palace to find dirty books, the roster was hidden on a conspicuous bookshelf.

Chang Feng guessed wrong.

A group of wrestlers tossed and tossed in the library until dawn, but still found nothing.

People also fell into the well in the mansion, and even dug the cesspit in the latrine.It's like digging three feet into the ground.

Chang Feng made a judgment: the roster is not in the Liao Mansion.

Chang Feng found Zhu Ji sitting next to Liao Fanyong's body.

The body had been covered with a white cloth.

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Commander. The entire Liao Mansion has been searched to the bottom. It seems that the roster is not in the mansion."

Zhu Ji said: "Sun Luan also questioned Lao Liao's confidantes, wives, concubines, and servants. They also knew nothing about it."

Chang Feng pointed to Zhu Ji: "We can only search Master Liao's body. Maybe there will be clues like keys on him."

Zhu Ji said: "Then we have to wait for Taoist Zhang to come. He went out of the city yesterday to pay respects to Sanqing at Ziyun Temple on Mount Miaofeng. I sent someone to look for him overnight. He should be here soon."

The Daoren Zhang mentioned by Zhu Ji was a member of the Jinyi Guard who specialized in autopsies.

This person is a Taoist priest.Therefore, the superiors in Weizhong called him Daoist Zhang; his peers and subordinates respectfully called him "Daoist Zhang".

In addition to the autopsy, Pao Ze of Wei Li died in the line of duty, and he was also in charge of running the Chaodu Dojo.

At sunrise, Daoshi Zhang came to the library.

He was dressed in a Taoist robe with a Taoist bun on his head.In his forties, he is quite immortal.

Zhu Ji complained: "We waited for you all night. Why are you going to Miaofeng Mountain if you have nothing to do?"

Although Taoist Zhang is only a hundred households, he doesn't buy Zhu Ji's account at all.He replied: "I'm going to pray for the robes of Jinyiwei. Including you Commander Zhu."

People with great ability usually have a big temper.

Zhu Ji didn't have the same knowledge as him: "Let's do an autopsy."

Chang Feng echoed from the side: "Please Zhang Daoye look for it, is there any key on Liao Zhenfu's body?"

Zhang Daoshi was not in a hurry for an autopsy.Instead, he took out magic tools such as incense burner, dragon and tiger fight, and Sanqing bell from the Taoist girdle.

Zhu Ji was a little anxious: "You don't do an autopsy, what are you doing with these bits and pieces?"

Taoist Zhang said: "I have to do a simple ritual ceremony for Master Liao first. Don't worry, it only takes two sticks of incense, and it won't take long."

"Everyone is going to die. Commander, you can guarantee that you won't end up like Lao Liao?"

"When that day comes, you don't want to become a lonely ghost, do you?"

Zhang Daoshi's mouth is almost hurtful.He didn't give Zhu Ji, the big boss, any face.

Zhu Ji endured it.The other subordinates respected and feared him because Zhu Ji controlled the future and life and death of his subordinates.

Taoist Zhang is not.He didn't want to work in Jinyiwei for a long time.Three papers of resignation were handed over within a year, but Zhu Ji forcibly retained them.

Throughout the ages, employees who want to resign are not afraid of their bosses.future?Before him a chicken lamp!

As for life and death.Taoist Zhang often preached the Daoist scriptures to one person.The location of the lecture was the imperial palace, and the person who listened to the scriptures was Emperor Hongzhi's grandmother, the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Even with Zhu Ji's [-] courageous efforts, he did not dare to touch a single winding hair of Taoist priest Zhang.

Taoist Zhang set up the magic vessel, rang the bell, and said in a strange tone: "The Taoist field is accomplished, and the super-salvation will be accomplished. The disciples are pious, and offer incense and worship."

Then Taoist Zhang began to sing again: "In the Mid-August Mid-Autumn Festival, the geese fly south, with a roar and a sorrow. The wild geese will come back one day, and the dead souls will not return!"

After two sticks of incense kung fu, this simple ritual of transcendence is completed.

Zhang Daoshi said to Chang Feng: "Chang Qianhu, I'm going to start the autopsy. You are very popular in Wei Li. Avoid it for a while, so as not to get bad luck and ruin your good luck."

Chang Feng said: "It's okay. I don't believe this."

Taoist Zhang nodded: "Well, if you believe in it, you will succeed, if you don't believe it, you won't."

Zhu Ji asked, "Why don't you let me avoid it?"

Daoist Zhang glanced at Zhu Ji: "The Commander has killed too many people, and his body is full of blood. Gods and ghosts avoid taboos, and bad luck can't be found."

After Daoist Zhang finished speaking, he began the autopsy.He spread a white cloth on the ground.Let Chang Feng help and carry Liao Fanyong's body to the white cloth with him.

Daoist Zhang pinched an old gentleman with both hands and rode the cow upside down.Then began to strip the body of clothing.

Every time he peeled off a piece of clothing, he put it aside.

Chang Feng carefully checked the clothes.Still nothing.

Zhang Daoshi looked at Liao Fanyong's neck, and then said: "He died after being twisted and broken. The murderer was very strong."

Zhu Ji pointed to the murderer's body: "You should check the murderer's body too."

Taoist Zhang checked the murderer's body: "The murderer was killed by a sharp knife through his chest."

Zhu Ji said: "According to the report of the strong man guarding the library, the murderer seemed to know that he could not escape, and wanted to die. He threw his chest at the blade."

Zhang Daoshi stretched his waist: "The autopsy has been completed. I'm going to leave first."

After speaking, Taoist Zhang turned around and left without waiting for Zhu Ji's consent.

Chang Feng flipped through Liao Fanyong's clothes: "There is no clue to the roster of hidden piles."

Zhu Ji said: "Clues will not come to you by themselves, you need to find them yourself. In short, I will get the list of hidden piles within three days."

"There is going to be a big battle in the north. Without the roster of hidden stakes, the Ming army will become deaf and blind. You can't rely on the frontier scouts to investigate the enemy's situation."

When Zhu Ji issued tasks to his subordinates, there was always only one result.

As for whether the task is difficult or not, that is the subordinate's business.

Typical boss thinking.

Chang Feng is a bit big headed.The Liao Mansion has been searched to the bottom.The roster is obviously not in Fuchu.

When Liao Fanyong was alive, he told Zhu Ji that the roster was not in the Nanzhen Fusi.

No clues were found on the body.Ask Liao Fanyong's confidants, wives and servants, and they all say they don't know.

How can I find this?
Fatty Xu walked into the library and came to Chang Feng's side: "Master Chang, how are you doing?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly.

He looked at Liao Fanyong's body.

Suddenly, he found that Liao Fanyong had thick calluses on the first joint of his middle finger and above his thumb.

Chang Feng asked casually: "Commander, Liao Zhenfu envoy likes to play hemp hanging?"

Ma Hang, created by Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, has been popular in Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.

Zhu Ji asked: "I don't know. Why do you say that?"

Chang Feng explained: "People who often play madiao don't draw cards by looking at them, but by touching them with their hands. You can know what the cards are when you touch them."

"Over time, calluses develop on the first knuckle of the middle finger and above the thumb."

Fatty Xu asked: "Master Chang, you never go to tea houses or gambling houses. How do you know?"

Chang Feng was embarrassed to answer.

When Mrs. Nine was in Xiangxi Lane, she liked to play mahjong with the clansmen for entertainment.

The first time she helped him there with her hands, he noticed the calluses on her hands.After asking, I found out that it was the trace left by years of playing hemp hanging.

Zhu Ji was a little surprised: "I never heard that Lao Liao likes to gamble."

Chang Feng asked: "Commander, can I ask Master Liao's widow?"

Zhu Ji nodded in acquiescence.

Chang Feng left the library and found Mrs. Liao in the hall.

Mrs. Liao cried until the pear blossoms were raining, her eyes were red.

Chang Feng said: "Sister-in-law, my condolences."

Mrs. Liao scolded: "It's not your wife who has lost her husband. How do you ask me to mourn?"

Chang Feng was choked by Mrs. Liao's aggressive words.

After a while, Chang Feng said: "Sister-in-law, I have to ask you a few questions. It's about avenging Master Liao."

Madam Liao raised her head: "Revenge? Good! What's the question? Ask."

Chang Feng asked: "Master Liao likes to play hemp hanger on weekdays?"

Mrs. Liao nodded: "Yes. As long as there is nothing to do, he will go to the Yuansheng Teahouse in the south of the city at night to have a hemp hang for an hour."

Chang Feng was puzzled when he heard this.

Gambling is based on status and place.

The hooligans and merchants in the capital like to gamble in the teahouses in the south city.

The high-ranking official Xungui went to gamble in the brothel in Beilou.Let Yangzhou Shouma wait for the bureau.

After all, Liao Fanyong was Jin Yiwei's Nanzhen envoy, so how could he go to a low-class place like Nancheng teahouse?

After a while, Chang Feng suddenly remembered that Shi Jian, the deputy head of Miaoshou Sect, was the treasurer at the dice stall in Yuansheng Teahouse?
At this moment, a wrestler came to Chang Feng's side: "Eunuch Qian, the supervisor of ceremonies, is here. I have an order for you."

Chang Feng came to the hall.Zhu Ji and Fatty Xu were already waiting there.

Chang Feng fell to his knees.Qian Neng said in a loud voice: "There is an edict. Chang Feng is ordered to take the position of a thousand households to temporarily act as the governor of Nanzhen."

　Take a leave of absence.Five thousand words today.[-]D will resume tomorrow
