The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 139

"Boom!" The soldiers pushed the siege cart and crashed directly into the brick wall of the teahouse.

More than 600 people worked together to remove tiles, walls, and bricks.

The people onlookers whispered: "Why did the officers and soldiers demolish Yuansheng Teahouse?"

"It must be that some officials lost their buttocks inside, and they are too angry to take revenge!"

Shi Wenyi also came over with the robes, he is a master of serving people.He set up a table across the street from the teahouse, and put tea and dried fruit on it.A small tent was surrounded by green gauze to keep out the dust.

Chang Feng drank tea with Fatty Xu and Wang Miaoxin in the tent and waited for the result.

The mighty "rough copying" continued until midnight.

A disgraced captain entered the green gauze tent: "Master Chang, we have found the entrance to the secret room."

Everyone came to the ruins of the teahouse.

In the southeast corner of the ruins, there was a three-foot-square entrance to an underground tunnel.Chang Feng picked up the torch to shine a light, and there were long stone steps in the dark passage.

Chang Feng held up the torch and was about to go inside.

But Wang Miaoxin grabbed Chang Feng: "What if there is a hidden weapon inside? Chang Qianhu, you are temporarily in charge of Nansi, and you have a heavy responsibility. Let's find a few warriors and go down first to investigate."

Wang Miaoxin is worthy of being the national player of the fourth-rank Tongyoujing, and she is really thoughtful.

Chang Feng said: "Well, thank you for reminding me, Brother Wang. Come on, who will reward you for your bravery? I need five people. Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

In Jinyiwei, there are many school captains and warriors who want to show their face in front of the emperor's favorite people.These people are very similar to Chang Feng two and a half years ago.

Not long after, five people signed up.

Chang Feng said: "You five go down with torches. Take the wooden shield of Bingmasi and carefully deploy the hidden weapons."

The five said in unison: "Obey!"

After a while, Chang Feng heard their shouts: "Master Chang, there are no hidden weapons below, but there are more than a dozen large boxes!"

Only then did Chang Feng, Fatty Xu and Wang Miaoxin enter the secret passage and go underground.

I saw that this underground secret room is not big.Five or six feet from east to west, three to four feet from north to south.

Fatty Xu said: "I thought how big Xue Jun's arsenal would be."

Chang Feng said: "Didn't you hear what Shopkeeper Gao said. At the beginning, there were only three hundred ordnance used by the cowardly Xue army here. How big can it be?"

Chang Feng counted, and there were fifteen boxes of all sizes.

Fourteen of them had seals affixed, and the seals said "Nanzhen Fusi Secret Pile Secret Pay" and the year and month.

Open these fourteen wooden boxes, all filled with white silver.

Chang Feng was finally able to show his skills in house raiding in front of Wang Miaoxin.After a rough look, he estimated the total amount of silver: "It's about 3 taels. It's not a small amount!"

Fatty Xu was surprised: "So much money? Master Liao won't suffer from corruption, right?"

Liao Fanyong is Wang Miaoxin's old boss.Wang Miaoxin showed displeasure upon hearing these words: "Our Lord Liao has always been a breeze in his sleeves."

"Many hidden stakes are in enemy territory and cannot receive their pay. This batch of silver should have been accumulated by the hidden stakes over the years. Master Liao is only keeping it for them temporarily."

"If not, there is no need for Master Liao to indicate on the seal that it is a secret payment."

Chang Feng opened the unsealed wooden box, and there were many booklets in the wooden box.

One of the booklets was two hundred pages thick.Chang Feng carefully took a torch to shine a light on, and saw "General Roster of Fusi's Hidden Stakes in Jinyiwei South Town Fusi" written on the cover of the booklet.

The front of the booklet is stamped with the official seal of Nanzhen Fushi.Chang Feng asked Fatty Xu to hold the torch, and he picked up the roster with both hands and flipped through it. The side of the roster was still stamped with the seal of Qi Feng.

(Note: The Qifengzhang commonly used by modern people was invented in the Han Dynasty.)
There is not only a list of hidden piles in the box.There is also a large amount of confidential information handed over by the hidden pile.

In addition, there are more than a dozen "Nanzhen Fushi Yueji".It was recorded by Liao Fanyong. Since he served as the governor of Nanzhen, he has encountered major events every month.

Fatty Xu was overjoyed: "It can be regarded as finding this box of baby lumps!"

Chang Feng ordered: "Come on, carry all these boxes back to Nanzhen Fusi!"

late at night.

Nanzhen Fushi's duty room was brightly lit.

Chang Feng first ordered Shi Wenyi: "You lead someone to carry these fourteen boxes of silver into the private treasury. The dark pile brothers go deep into the tiger's den, and it is extremely dangerous. We have to keep their salaries."

The old birthday star Sun Guishou sighed: "Alas. I am afraid that there are no brothers in ten who can return to the capital to receive these secret salaries."

Chang Feng asked: "What about the other seven or eight out of ten? Were they all discovered and killed by the enemy?"

Sun Guishou shook his head slightly: "That's not true. Many dark stump brothers spend most of their lives lurking in the enemy's territory. Most of them get married and have children or even grandchildren in the enemy's territory. They will never return to the capital in this lifetime."

From ancient times to the present, there have been such a group of people in China.

They don't ask for anything, keep their names incognito, and silently guard Huaxia in secret.

Many of them could not recover their original identities even after death.

Daming also had countless Yu Zecheng and Zheng Yaoxian.

Chang Feng pointed to the box where the roster of hidden stakes was placed: "I am the head of Nansi. Even if I got the roster of hidden stakes, I probably don't know how to use it."

"How about the three thousand households watching with me?"

Black Maitreya Zhao Xiangfo shook his head: "Absolutely no! Only the person in charge of Nansi can read the hidden pile roster. Even the commander can't read it lightly!"

"This is the rule of Jin Yiwei that has lasted for a hundred years! We dare not break this rule!"

Chang Feng was a little embarrassed: "But Datong urgently needs information on the Tartar army. I'm a freshman again."

Sun Guishou said: "You only need to select from the roster the names, cover identities, contact information, and code words of the people lurking in the army of the little Tatar prince Chahar, and give them to me."

"I'll take care of the rest."

Chang Feng nodded: "Okay!"

He flipped through the roster.Jot something down on a piece of paper now and then.

There are a total of eight people lurking in the headquarters of the little prince Chahar.

Chang Feng was amazed, there were not only ten husbands and grooms and other low-status lurking people, but also Zaluhuachi (judgment officer) and the head of thousands of households from the headquarters of the little prince.

Chang Feng copied the information of these eight people and handed the paper to Sun Guishou.

After reading it, Sun Guishou felt like a treasure: "Wonderful! I'm going to Datong right now! Chang Qianhu, farewell!"

Chang Feng asked: "Senior Sun, I'd better send someone else to Datong. You are already 79. Just in case"

Sun Guishou said: "Don't worry! Don't look at me, I have white beard and hair. But I can ride a maidservant at night, and I can ride a horse during the day!"

Having said all this, Chang Feng couldn't stop him anymore: "Okay. Senior Sun, take care all the way."

The list of hidden stakes has been found, and Sun Guishou is about to rush to Datong to contact the hidden stakes in the Little Prince's army and collect urgently needed military information.Chang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to find out who is behind the assassination of Liao Fanyong and Gao shopkeeper.

Chang Feng guessed that it was very likely that the vulture club did it.

He thought to himself: I found the list of hidden stakes after only one day in office.If I can uproot the Vulture Society again, Brother Nan Si, everyone will give me a high look.

In addition to the roster, there are more than a dozen copies of "Nanzhen Fushi Yueji" in the box.

Chang Feng didn't have time to read Chenghua Dynasty's Yue Ji.Only the monthly records of the second year of Hongzhi were selected.

The more he watched, the more frightened he became!

There is such a paragraph in the monthly diary: Guan Gong from a hundred households has successfully entered the Zuo Dharma Hall of the Vulture Society.He is about to discover a great secret.

This secret involves whether the little prince can successfully enter the hinterland of Daming from Datong; at the same time, it involves the safety of today's emperor!
The safety of the emperor?Would the vulture want to assassinate the emperor?

Chang Feng continued to look down: Guan Gong will go to the Liao Mansion to report this secret on the night of February [-]th.

February [-] night?Wasn't it the night when Liao Fanyong was assassinated and died?

Chang Feng told everyone these two paragraphs.

Fatty Xu didn't take it seriously: "The emperor's safety is the responsibility of the big Han generals of our Jinyiwei."

"Mr. Chang used to be a big Han general. You should know that the palace is heavily guarded!"

"The assassination of the emperor is not the assassination of Lord Liao and shopkeeper Gao. How can Vulture succeed?"

Wang Miaoxin interjected: "Perhaps it is a secret method - poisoning? Poisoning is also impossible. The palace is quite concerned about the imperial food. Three tests, three tests."

What Wang Miaoxin said was the truth.Concubine Wan Gui deliberately tried to poison Zhu Youtang to death, but the Empress Dowager Zhou was strict with her, and she failed to do so for more than ten years.

Chang Feng said: "Yes. It seems that the emperor's guards are impenetrable. But the common people have a saying that they are not afraid of thieves stealing, but they are afraid of thieves thinking about it."

"The vulture society has actually set its sights on the emperor. If you don't uproot it, the emperor will always be in danger."

Fatty Xu still didn't care about it: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for the emperor to be assassinated."

Chang Feng glared at Fatty Xu: "Stupid words! Say something that seems disrespectful. If the emperor is assassinated and killed, we Jinyiwei will all have to kill themselves to thank the world."

"In short, now that I am in charge of Nan Si, I have to uproot the Condor Society."

Wang Miaoxin poured Chang Feng's cold water: "Uproot the vulture society? I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

Black Maitreya Zhao Xiangfo said: "Chang Qianhu. I have been investigating the assassination of Lord Liao today."

"The general banner of the gatekeeper of the Liao Mansion reported that Master Liao's secret words for the meeting with the visiting Anzhuan that night were 'everyone can make up for the incompleteness of the heaven' and 'only for the common people, not for the Lord'."

"Nansi's joint code words are specific, and each of them is different. You can check the roster, who does this set of joint code words belong to?"

Fatty Xu's eyes lit up: "Huh? Use the libretto in "The Song of the Red Scarf Army" as a code word?"

Fatty Xu's ancestor, Xu Da, was a serious Red Turban Army.The military songs of the Red Turban Army have been sung by the descendants of the Xu family in all dynasties.

"Every man makes up for the incompleteness of the heaven, only for the common people and not for the Lord" is the libretto in the military song.

Chang Feng quickly checked the roster, and then said: "This set of code words is owned by the hidden Zhuang Guangong who is lurking in the dignitary camp."

Wang Miaoxin said: "That is to say, there is only one possibility, Guan Gong has betrayed!"

Everyone still doesn't know about Guan Gong's murder.

Chang Feng said: "It's not just Guan Gong who may be a traitor. The shopkeeper Gao was killed, and Yang Chun is also suspected of treachery. Yang Chun is one of the four gangsters in Yuansheng Teahouse."

"The roster contains the addresses of Guan Gong and Yang Chun in Daguanying. Let's go to Daguanying and bring them back to Nansi. We will find out at the first trial."

Wang Miao said heartily: "Okay! I'll order three hundred warriors right now."

But Chang Feng waved his hand: "Why bring so many people to do it? If you mobilize the crowd, aren't you afraid to scare these two people away?"

"It's enough to bring ten capable fighters and a scorpion crossbow."

Wang Miaoxin hurriedly dissuaded: "Absolutely not! There are tens of thousands of Mongolian people in the Daguan camp. Most of the Condor Society are lurking there, and the number is unknown. It's too dangerous to take only ten people there!"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "What kind of Jinyiwei are you afraid of danger? No matter how many people are deceived in the high-ranking official camp, it is also the world of our Ming Dynasty! I don't believe it, a few Xiaoxiao can turn the sky around!"

"Besides, we are carrying the scorpion crossbow. Oh, yes, check the scorpion crossbow carefully before setting off. Don't be like Master Liao, let people tamper with the scorpion crossbow."

As soon as the words came to this point, Chang Feng asked Hei Maitreya: "Zhao Qianhu, have you found out who did the hands and feet of the Scorpion Crossbow?"

Zhao Xiangfo replied: "It is being investigated, and there will be results within a day or two."

Chang Feng seemed to be protesting to Zhao Xiangfo: "It's too slow. I found the list of hidden stakes within a day. It will take another day or two to catch Xiaoxiao, who is a master of trickery?"

Zhao Xiangfo was silent.

Liao Fanyong was assassinated and died the night before, Chang Feng hadn't slept for a whole day and two nights.

But at the moment he was in high spirits.Taking charge of Nanzhen Fusi for the first time, the first shot has to be fired.

In this state, it is easy to make mistakes.

It is the biggest mistake to take only ten warriors to the Daguan camp!
