The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 226: Knowing the trivial details has no great righteousness, fearing power but not being virtuous

Yan Pan'er did not shy away from letting Chang Feng know how large and deep the Lin family's network was.

This woman with superb wrists wants to let Chang Feng retreat in spite of difficulties.

However, Chang Feng has already made up his mind to fight against the Lin family, a sea merchant.Not only for the sake of martyr You Tianjue, but also for the belief in his heart that good will never prevail.

The well-rounded Yan Pan'er is good at persuading wine, but also good at drinking and accompanying.After a while, everyone at the banquet drank too much.

A group of people who drank too much, naturally chatted all over the world.This is the case in ancient and modern times.

The topic unknowingly came to the Japanese.

Yan Pan'er said: "The Japanese people are not the same as the Japanese pirates. During the time of the Taizu, the Japanese country was included in the country that will not be confiscated."

"At the time of Emperor Taizong, he gave the Wa country 'respecting its diligence and sincerity, and bestowing nine chapters on the king'. The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was given the crown and uniform. The Wa country was allowed to pay tribute. Since then, the Wa country has become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Japanese country has always respected our Han family. They know Chinese characters and use Chinese silver. The nobles are proud of being able to speak Chinese. Follow the etiquette of our Han family."

"Many Japanese people even pay more attention to etiquette than the people of Ming Dynasty. They bow when they see people."

Yan Pan'er talked a lot about the Japanese people at the banquet.

Chang Feng seemed to have drunk too much, and suddenly stood up from the banquet.

Chang Feng said in a loud voice: "Yi and Di are like beasts. Knowing the small things has no great righteousness, fearing power and not being virtuous. This is what Tang Taizong said in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"."

"Japanese people are just like beasts. They know trivial matters but have no great righteousness. They are afraid of power but have no morality. This is what I, Chang Feng, say."

Whether it is Tang Taizong or Changfeng, they are all prophecies.

Hundreds of years later, the Japanese pay attention to hygiene and politeness in small families.After watching a sports game, I have to pick up trash, pretending to be very civilized, like a human being.

Then what?Without hesitation, a bunch of radioactive elements in the periodic table of elements are discharged into the sea, regardless of international norms and morality.

This is called knowing the small details without great meaning.

Facing countries that are temporarily behind them, the Japanese invaded and engaged in bloody killings without blinking their eyes.When they meet a country that is stronger than themselves, such as the country that made them eat two eggs, they will directly recognize it as their own father.

This is called fearing authority but not being moral.

The word beast is well deserved.

The sewer of earth civilization, the ceiling of human morality, deserves its name.

Yan Pan'er smiled awkwardly.Chang Feng suddenly fell on the table, seemingly drunk to death.

Qian Neng apologized to Wang Zhi: "Chang Feng, a young man, is a bold drinker but a small drinker. He made a fool of himself in front of the seniors."

Wang Zhi said: "It's okay. Send someone to send him back to the mansion."

Several servants helped Chang Feng out of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce and into the official sedan chair.

The bearers carried Chang Feng back to the house.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Chang Feng's face was completely drunk.He ordered his servants: "Go, call Zhang Cai, Fatty Xu, Shi Wenyi, and Basha."

Chang Feng called four of his confidants, but Qian Ning was the only one he didn't call.Since ancient times, father and son are one, and the adopted son is also a son.Qian Neng is unclear about the Lin family, and Qian Ning is unreliable in this matter.

Investigating a case is like untangling a mess. You need to find the thread to pull it out.

Chang Feng has already thought of the end of the thread.

He wrote down eight names in his study.

"The supervisor of ceremonies holds the seal of Xiao Jing's brother, Xiao Quan."

"The son-in-law of Geng Yu, former Minister of Rites, Lu Shaoyuan."

"The former governor of Zhejiang Province, Yang Guosheng."

"A member of Liu Jimen, Wang Ke, the general merchant of Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce."

"Jingjiang King Zhu Yueqi."

"Jian Confucian leader, Gao Wenze."

"The former governor of Zhejiang, Huang Degong."

"Wang Zhi."

This is the list of eight elders of the smuggling group "Sihaihui" that Chang Feng found in Hangzhou 15 years ago.

Times have changed.The eight elders are different from the past.

Among them, Yang Guosheng, Wang Bi, and Huang Degong died of illness and old age.

Zhu Yueqi has inherited the throne of Jingjiang.

Gao Wenze, the leader of Confucianism, was a top-ranked Jinshi in high school in the third year of Hongzhi.Now he is the magistrate in Ningbo.

Fifteen years ago, Chang Feng was fledgling and could not move any of the eight people.

Now, one of the eight people, Chang Feng, can move at will.

That is Lu Shaoyuan, the son-in-law of Geng Yu, former Minister of Rites.

Geng Yu has been dead for six years.His descendants are all dandies, who only know how to eat, drink, whore and gamble.

The Geng family in Dingzhou no longer has any power to speak of.The old disciples and old trees fell down and the monkeys scattered.

This Lu Shaoyuan did not return to his hometown in Dingzhou.Instead, he stayed in the capital to enjoy the prosperity.

This man is just the son-in-law of a former high-ranking official who has declined. He has no position or power.

Chang Feng couldn't move King Jingjiang, so he couldn't move him.

Not long after, Chang Feng's four confidants came to the study.

Fatty Xu yawned: "Eunuch Liu said that the prince is going to watch an elephant show at the elephant training station tomorrow. I was thinking about going to bed early, but you brought me here. What happened?"

Chang Feng was about to speak when suddenly he glanced at Shi Wenyi.

Ye Guang, a titan in the army, is also on the banquet at the Fujian Chamber of Commerce tonight.Ye Guang made friends with Shi Wenzhong, Shi Wenyi's elder brother.

Chang Feng didn't know whether the military generals of the Beijing camp were also involved in the smuggling trade, and how deeply they were involved.

Just to be on the safe side, he made up a lie to send Shi Wenyi away: "Wenyi, Jin Yiwei has just received an errand to copy the home of Gao Bing, the Changlu Salt Transport Envoy."

"This matter has a lot to do with it. Tomorrow you will go to Changlu yourself. I called you late at night to explain this errand."

"Okay, you go back first."

Shi Wenyi cupped his hands and said, "Master Chang, don't worry. I will definitely take care of this matter." After speaking, he left.

After he left, Chang Feng told the truth.

Chang Feng said: "The three of you can be regarded as my confidantes."

"Tell you, I have encountered an enemy. An enemy who is not in the court, but has a lot of power."

"It is possible that this enemy caused my best friend to die in the country."

"Do you have the guts to fight this enemy with me?"

Basha said: "As long as Master Chang is offended, no matter how powerful we are, we dare to kill him."

Zhang Cai echoed: "That's right. Tell me who it is."

Fatty Xu knew it in his mind: "I said Master Chang, you still decide to be their enemy?"

Chang Feng glanced at Fatty Xu: "Everyone said that Jin Yiwei's Chang Feng has become more and more mature these years."

"The maturity they talk about is actually smooth and sophisticated."

"I'm getting older and older, and recently I always want to do something to make myself look down on myself."

Fatty Xu said: "Success. You have decided, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman. After all, I am the Queen of Zhongshan, and I am not afraid of heaven and earth."

Chang Feng said: "Zhang Cai, Basha. Let me tell you, I want to move the Haishang Lin family."

Zhang Cai asked calmly, "But the Lin family in Quanzhou?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes. Why, you also heard a little about the Lin family?"

Zhang Cai replied: "It is said that the Lin family has unclear relations with various factions in the DPRK and China."

Chang Feng said: "If you are afraid, you can leave now."

Zhang Cai said seriously: "Master Chang is the emperor's confidant. I am your confidant. I have your support, which means I have the emperor's support. What's so scary?"

Zhang Cai had very little qualifications in the Wei. He was promoted from the general banner to a thousand households in six years by being Chang Feng's follower.

It has to be said that this person is very capable.But if there is no promotion of Changfeng, no matter how strong the ability is, it will not be promoted so fast.

Liu Jin once commented: Zhang Cai looks very much like Master Chang when he was young.

This sentence has two meanings.One meaning is: Zhang Cai's ability to handle affairs is very similar to Chang Feng when he was young.

The second meaning is: Zhang Caiping's promotion speed is very similar to Changfeng when he was young.

Chang Feng said: "Tomorrow, you will tie someone up for me."

Basha asked: "Who is kidnapped? Which high-ranking official or military commander is honored? Master Chang, if you say a word, we will start."

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "It's not that evil. Help me tie Lu Shaoyuan, the son-in-law of Geng Yu, the former Minister of Rites, and send him to the courtyard in Shizi Hutong in the south of the city."

Jin Yiwei is the ancestor of the modern spy organization.

Modern secret service organizations have safe houses to protect witnesses and interrogate sensitive prisoners.

Jinyiwei also has a safe house.It's just that the name is "Waisi".

The Lion Alley in the south of the city is one of the dozens of foreign divisions in Jinyiwei.

Basha laughed and said, "Who am I going to tie up when I'm Mr. Chang. Lu Shaoyuan is a down-and-out dude. You can easily catch him."

Chang Feng said: "Success. Tomorrow evening, I will be waiting for the three of you and Lu Shaoyuan at Lion Alley."

Let's say that Zhang Cai left the Changfu, instead of going back to his own house, he went to Liu Jin's foreign house.

By coincidence, today is the day for Liu Jin's secret party gathering.

Liu Jin has been developing his power secretly in the factory guards and foreign courts all these years.

Half an hour later, Liu Jin was in the back garden of his house.

Five people were sitting in the back garden.The leader is naturally Liu Jin.

Sitting next to Liu Jin were the eunuch Gu Dayong, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials Jiao Fang, the doctor of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Cai, and Zhang Cai of Qianhu of Jinyiwei.

Needless to say, Gu Dayong, when Li Guang fell, he did not hesitate to use the life of his adoptive father Li Guang as a pledge of surrender in order to switch to Liu Jin's sect.

Jiao Fang, the right hall of the Ministry of Officials, is also a ruthless person.

In the 20th year of Chenghua, Ge Lao Peng Hua recommended candidates for promotion to bachelor.

Peng Hua was old and had a bad memory, so he missed Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang said directly: "If I can't be promoted to a bachelor this time, I will stab Peng Hua with a single knife."

Everyone thought Jiao Fang was talking angrily.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Fang played the real thing.Go to the butcher shop and buy a sharp knife for boning.

He put the boning knife in his sleeve, and stood on Chang'an Road in the palace, waiting for Peng Hua to leave.

Fortunately, the big Han general on patrol noticed it in time.Otherwise, Mr. Peng Ge might have more holes in his body.

When Xianzong heard about this incident, he didn't punish Jiao Fang, but laughed it off.

Hooligans are not to be feared, but they are cultured.Jiao Fang is a typical educated hooligan.

Zhang Cai, the "little servant" of the official department, is not only Chang Feng's good friend, but also has the same pronunciation as Chang Feng's confidant Qianhu.

He and Yang Tinghe are known as the two most promising talents in the court.

People at the time commented: Yang Tinghe will definitely join the cabinet in the future, and Zhang Cai will be a heavenly official in the Ministry of Officials in the future.

Gu, Jiao, and Er Zhang are Liu Jin's four capable confidants.

On the surface, there is no friendship between them.As a civil servant, Jiao Fang was even at odds with Liu Jin, the favored eunuch.

In fact, they were all on Liu Jin's boat.

Zhang Caidao: "Listening to Master Chang's voice tonight, it seems that he is going to disturb the Haishang Lin's family."

Liu Jin took a sip of tea: "It's still my little uncle who is bold. He is not afraid of offending important ministers, powerful eunuchs, nobles and even vassals."

Zhang Cai asked: "Eunuch Liu, are we going to stand by and watch this time?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Cai, known as "Little Zhuge".

Zhang Cai, a handsome man, thought for a while and said, "You can't stand by and watch. You have to help."

"In recent years, the powers in the imperial court have been too balanced. Balance means stability, and stability means that power is difficult to change."

"Only when there is chaos, can we profit from chaos. Convenience is power."

Jiao Fang analyzed: "Don't talk about anything else. There are only a few chairs for the supervisor of ceremonies. Only when one is free can Eunuch Liu be included in the list of pen holders."

"As far as I know, Eunuch Xiao's family members were involved with smuggling merchants in the southeast more than ten years ago."

"Among the eunuchs supervised by the three major shipping bureaus, two more are apprentices of Qian Neng."

"Butcher Chang of Jinyiwei is going to turn the smuggling trade upside down, and it's hard to escape the relationship between these two big guys who are in charge of the ceremony."

"At that time, Eunuch Liu will have the opportunity to replace him."

Gu Dayong said: "Eunuch Liu, Jiao Butang is polite."

After thinking for a while, Liu Jin said, "It's great, the spies in our hands will come in handy this time, please help my little uncle."

Every eunuch has a dream: to reopen the West Factory and reach the pinnacle of power like Wang Zhi did back then.

Liu Jin has recruited a group of people over the past few years.Run secret errands just for him.

In the words of later generations, these people are the talent pool for Liu Jin to reopen the West Factory in the future.

Jiao Fang smiled slightly: "How could Butcher Chang, who was so smart all his life, think that this time he was used by us as a gunman?"

Liu Jin's complexion changed: "Jiao Butang, I have to remind you. My little uncle is our own family. Don't treat him like a gun."

"You can't forget your origins as a person. If it weren't for him, I would still be a humble fireman."

"If it wasn't for his Princess Wanping, I would have been killed by Li Guang long ago."

Liu Jin is a person who knows how to repay her kindness.

At the same time, in a bedroom of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce.

Yan Pan'er got dressed.Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, lay on the bed like a dead pig, as if ascending to a fairyland.

Yan Pan'er got out of bed: "Uncle Guo, I'm yours from today on."

During the banquet, Yan Pan'er looked at Zhang Heling looking at her eyes as if they could spew fire, with an impatient posture.

She simply invited Zhang Heling to stay at the Fujian Chamber of Commerce to drink.

The so-called alcohol elimination is nothing more than the blending of fire and water.

Zhang Heling said contentedly: "My good sister, once in a while, even if you let me die in the future, I will have nothing to say."

Yan Pan'er laughed and said, "Why should I want Uncle Guo to die? I wish Uncle Guo could live a long life and protect our Lin family."

Zhang Heling said: "I didn't say anything. Originally, the Lin family made me rich. We have a friendship of this night, and the Lin family's business will be my business in the future."

Yan Pan'er smiled and said, "I have something to ask you."

Zhang Heling pulled Yan Pan'er over: "Good sister, good person. I also have something to ask you. Please help me again."

Yan Pan'er said: "Let's talk about this serious matter first, lest Uncle Guo pull up his trousers and deny recognition."

Zhang Heling said in a hurry: "What's the business? Don't say one thing, even if it's ten or hundreds of things, I will help my sister."

Yan Pan'er said: "That's the case. I sent people to Nanyang and spent a lot of money to buy a piece of ambergris weighing fifteen catties. I want to present it to the empress."

Zhang Heling was stunned after hearing this: "How heavy is the ambergris?"

Yan Pan'er covered her mouth and laughed lightly, cursing secretly in her heart: Return to Uncle Guo, look at you who have never seen the world.

Although he scolded in his heart, he couldn't say that: "Fifteen catties, Uncle Guo."

No wonder Zhang Heling was surprised.

Ambergris is the most important treasure in the sea, extremely rare.A piece of one or two heavy ambergris is worth 300 taels of silver.

A fifteen-pound piece of ambergris is worth almost inestimable value.

As expected, the Lin family is capable of obtaining such rare treasures from Nanyang.

Yan Pan'er is a girl, who has been in charge of the Lin family's family business since she was 16 years old, and has been in charge for 17 years, making the Lin family bigger and stronger and creating greater glories.Naturally has her superb wrist.

Yan Pan'er came to Beijing this time for two purposes.The first purpose is to organize a triennial event.

The second purpose is to go to great lengths to curry favor with Queen Zhang.

No one in the world knows that the emperor only favors Empress Zhang.If I, the Lin family, befriended Empress Zhang, it would be more effective than befriending ten pavilion elders and ten ceremonial supervisors.

Zhang Heling clapped his hands: "What a big deal. Isn't it just a gift for my sister? It's a piece of cake!"

Yan Pan'er changed the subject: "It's not just a gift. It's best to let me enter the palace. I will personally give the ambergris to the empress."

Zhang Heling hesitated: "This?"

According to the rules, only the royal family members, noble wives, and royal wives can enter the palace to meet the queen.

There was no precedent for a merchant's widow entering the palace since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Pan'er was so charming: "Oh, Uncle Guo. As long as you help me with this matter, let alone help you one more time. It's eight times out of ten times, and I don't care about it a hundred times and a thousand times."

"As long as your body can handle it."

Seeing Yan Pan'er's expression, Zhang Heling couldn't hold back: "Good sister, good person. This matter is on me. Isn't it just to see my sister? What's the problem!"
