The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 269 Rainy Night at the Station ([-])

The county magistrate Wang Yi cursed "corrupt officials", which aroused You Jingwu's vigilance.

Among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, nine out of ten officials were corrupt.When an official scolds a corrupt official, doesn't that mean he is scolding himself?
Wang Yi knew he had made a mistake and said with a smile: "Ah, look at my mouth. If you drink too much Laizhou Tequ, you will be unable to hold the door."

At this moment, the medical officer came out of the Tongpu and came to You Jingwu: "Your Majesty, I can't stop diarrhea even with all my methods! He's in his crotch again."

You Jingwu was puzzled: "What's going on? I didn't eat anything suspicious. Baicaoshuang can't stop the diarrhea, and even the local methods can't stop the diarrhea."

Basha pulled You Jingwu aside and suggested in a low voice: "I can't let Liang Bohong go to the hut outside the inn. It's windy and rainy outside, coming in and out all the time, which could easily give the killer an opportunity."

You Jingwu ordered: "Come on, take Master Lin to my bedroom and use the bucket in my bedroom."

The postmaster quickly stopped him: "This is against the rules! Master has no official position, how can he use the official bedroom of the post station? Unless"

You Jingwu lost patience with Yi Cheng.He directly took out more than ten silver notes from his sleeves, about 500 taels in total, and threw them on Yi Cheng's face: "Don't you just want money? Are these enough?"

Yi Cheng was furious at first, but after a while, he discovered that the thing You Jingwu threw at him was a bank note.

Yi Cheng immediately regained his calm expression: "Ah, but Master Guiya has suffered from such a serious diarrhea tonight. Special matters can be handled specially. Just let him use your bedroom."

After speaking, Yi Cheng picked up the banknotes on the ground one by one and stuffed them into his sleeves.

You Jingwu cursed in his heart: The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is really a mess!Even the wealthy Yi Cheng tried every means to make money.Not to mention those ministers!
The night was getting darker.

Lu Dahu's bedroom is right next door to You Jingwu's bedroom.

In other words, there is only a wall between the killer "Poisonous Oriole" Cuixian and her target Liang Bohong.

Lu Dahu said to Cuixian: "Why is it so noisy outside? I'll go out to find out."

Cuixian nodded.

Lu Dahu came out of the bedroom and deliberately raised his voice when he went downstairs: "As expected of Yihong Loutou. The skill is great. My mouth is dry from exhaustion. I need to find some cold water to drink."

He came to the lobby on the first floor and walked up to You Jingwu: "Yu Zhixian, that little bitch really deserves her reputation."

After saying that, he picked up the teapot and drank "Chao Chao Chao" into his mouth.

Wang Yi, the county magistrate on the side, yawned and said to You Jingwu: "It's late at night. Mr. Yu, I will go back to the bedroom to rest first."

You Jingwu nodded slightly.

After Wang Yi left, Lu Dahu dipped his fingers in tea and wrote five words on the table, "Let's take a step to speak."

You Jingwu actually had some doubts about Lu Dahu.Chang Feng had told him before he left Beijing to handle cases and not to trust anyone easily.

However, in order to find out the truth about Lu Dahu, You Jingwu decided to talk to Lu Dahu alone.See what he will say.

You Jingwu stood up and said, "I'm going to the livestock shed to see if the animals I brought have enough fodder."

Lu Dahu said: "I will also go to the livestock shed to see how the post horse is prepared. When the rain stops tomorrow, I can change horses and gallop to the capital to deliver military reports."

The two braved the rain and came to the livestock shed in the backyard of the inn.

Lu Dahu said: "Master You, I know you can't completely trust me. Master Chang Shuai told me something. He said that as long as I tell you this, you will understand that I am one of your own."

You Jingwu asked: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Dahu said seriously: "Everything about the Yan family is good, except that the tea is not that good, it smells like swill."

This is what Chang Feng and You Jingwu said when they were alone.

Chang Feng and You Jingwu went to the Yan family to make a betrothal ceremony.The Yan family is very pleasant in Jiangxi, and they drink Lushan Yunwu tea.

Chang Feng couldn't get used to drinking. After returning home, he half-jokingly said this to You Jingwu.No one else was present when he said this.

Chang Feng regarded this sentence as a code to prove Lu Dahu's identity.

You Jingwu said: "As expected, he is one of our own."

Lu Dahu said: "Master You, Cuixian and the four turtle men under him are killers sent by the Xie family. Once we return to the inn, we have to find a way to capture them alive. They are the murderers of the Xie family and the cover-up of the salt case. Ironclad evidence of corrupt officials.”

You Jingwu asked: "How did you know their identities? Can you find out the true identity of a woman through a confrontation on the bed?"

Lu Dahu replied: "I already knew Cuixian's identity before she entered the inn."

You Jingwu frowned: "When Cuixian entered the inn, you, me, and Basha were standing in the corridor on the second floor. Why didn't you tell me? You didn't tell me until an hour later?"

Lu Dahu smiled bitterly: "Because my identity is secret, so secret that Basha cannot know about it."

You Jingwu looked at Lu Dahu suspiciously: "How do you say that?"

Lu Dahu said: "It's a long story. In order to put his eyes and ears next to the chief assistant Liu Jian, Chang Shuai used a counter-intuitive plan. He asked Zhang Cai and Zhang Qian to secretly defect to Liu Jian under false pretense."

"I am Zhang Qianshi's confidant. So behind the scenes, I am considered to be on the side of the civil servants."

"This time, Liu Jian asked Zhang Qianshi to cooperate with the killers sent by Xie Qian, inside and outside, to kill Liang Bohong, so as to protect the corrupt officials involved in the salt case."

"Zhang Qianshi sent me to Beizangyi to sing a play with those killers. The purpose is to obtain the evidence of the Xie family's crimes."

You Jingwu said: "Based on the words between me and my adoptive father, I still can't completely believe you."

Lu Dahu took out another piece of jade and said, "Master Chang has already anticipated this and gave me this token."

This piece of jade has a great origin.In the last years of Chenghua, Changfeng participated in protecting the reserve.

In the 23rd year of Chenghua, Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, summoned his old minister Huai En back to the capital, and went out of the city to welcome him personally.That day, Emperor Hongzhi gave Chang Feng a piece of jade to Chang Feng, who had helped protect the reserve.

This is the piece in Lu Dahu's hand.

This is Chang Feng's favorite thing and he always keeps it with him.

The fact that Lu Dahu could take it out as a token shows that he is indeed Chang Feng's man.

You Jingwu looked at Yu Jue: "My foster father really has great powers. It turns out that things have always been under my foster father's control."

Lu Dahu said: "To say something disrespectful. People are old and smart, and ghosts are old. Mr. Chang Shuai has served in the Jinyi Guards for more than 20 years and has been in charge of guard affairs for more than ten years. He is very meticulous in his work. How could he let such an important criminal die? What about the assassination?"

You Jingwu asked: "Where are the other groups of people? Wang Yi, beggars, big and small, postmasters and postmen?"

Lu Dahu shook his head slightly: "I don't know their identities."

You Jingwu asked again: "Liang Bohong has diarrhea tonight, is it Cuixian's fault?"

Lu Dahu replied: "It was not done by Cuixian and his gang. If it was done by them, Cuixian would not have told me. I am now her 'helper'."

You Jingwu said: "Then it's strange that the medical officer has the Mongolian sweat medicine. You took it later and gave it to Cuixian in your bedroom on the second floor. You don't need to take care of the four turtles in the hall, leave them to me." "

There are 50 people in Jinyiwei, and Cuixian and Guigong only have five people combined.You Jingwu can win by force alone.

But when it comes to fighting, the sword has no eyes.Chang Feng in the capital had painstakingly arranged the Beizangyi bureau in order to capture the killers alive and obtain evidence of the Xie family's crimes.

To be on the safe side, You Jingwu decided not to use force but to use skill to win.

Mongolian sweat medicine is a must-have product for home and travel, and Jin Yiwei usually carries it when traveling for errands.After all, Jin Yiwei has never been an official who behaves uprightly.

The two entered the post house, and You Jingwu entered the Tongpu and got the Mongolian sweat medicine from the medical officer.He returned to the hall and quietly handed the Mongolian sweat medicine to Lu Dahu.Lu Dahu said: "Everyone, I'm going upstairs first. A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I can't let such a beauty sit idle."

After returning to the bedroom, Lu Dahu turned around and went to the table to pour tea.When pouring tea, he turned his back to Cuixian.

With a shake of his hand, he poured the sweat medicine into the tea bowl.

Then Lu Dahu came to the bedside with a teapot and a bowl.Lu Dahu said: "I figured it out after investigation. Liang Bohong suddenly had a stomachache. You Jingwu asked him to live next door to us. There are six Jin-clad warriors in the room for personal protection, all wearing scorpion crossbows."

Cuixian took out a wooden pipe and an incense stick from the baggage.

The wooden tube is half as thick as a little finger.

Cuixian said: "It seems that I have to use incense. In the second half of the night, I will first confuse the six strong men and Liang Bohong. Then I will go in and start."

Lu Dahu asked: "How to use incense instead of poisonous incense? I heard that poisonous incense can directly kill people."

Cuixian sneered for the rest of her life: "Although poisonous incense can kill Liang Bohong, the person who blows the incense will also have to meet King Yama. Why, are you willing to be a dead man blowing poisonous incense?"

Lu Dahu poured two cups of tea: "I am still waiting to be rewarded by the fourth son of the Xie family after this incident. I don't want to die. Then I will listen to you, use the incense first and then the knife."

"It's late at night, let's not get sleepy. This is strong tea. I added a lot of tea leaves. Let's refresh ourselves."

Fourth Young Master Xie repeatedly told Cuixian that Lu Dahu was the Jin Yiwei internal agent they bribed and was very reliable.

Cuixian didn't suspect anything, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A moment later, Cuixian suddenly felt her eyelids twitching, and passed out in a daze.

Lu Dahu took out the rope and tied her up tightly.

Next, let’s look at You Jingwu’s downstairs.

You Jingwu deliberately jabbed while drinking tea.While drinking tea, he said, "There's no one who spends money in this world. I gave the inn a few hundred taels of silver, and the tea served is of the highest quality, and it's very fragrant!"

The four turtle men carried the big wooden box and walked for a long time. After entering the inn, Shuimi didn't know what to do.I was so thirsty that my throat was filled with smoke.

The leader, Fat Turtle Gong, asked the postman: "Master, can you give me a bowl of water to drink?"

The postman said coldly: "Who are you? You still want us to serve you tea in official clothes?"

Fat Turtle was fair: "You don't have to give me tea, I can just give you four bowls of well water!"

The postman smiled and said: "Okay. Pay for it. Digging a well doesn't cost money? Four bowls of well water are worth four taels of silver."

It is true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. The Yi Cheng is a man who regards wealth as his life, and the Yi soldiers are not too generous.

The fat Mr. Turtle wanted to take out the money, but the other Mr. Turtle winked at him and shook his head slightly.

He is a professional killer and cares about protecting his identity.

Four lowly turtle men actually exchanged four taels of silver for four bowls of cold water.This is contrary to common sense and will arouse suspicion on the part of others.

You Jingwu scolded the postman: "You are really white-eyed wolves who can't get enough to eat, and you can't eat anything! You've already got five or six hundred silver from me tonight. People want to drink several bowls of well water, and you still make them pay for it." .”

After saying this, General You Jing brought the teapot to the four turtle masters: "This pot of tea is for you."

Lu Dahu gave Cuixian tea, and Cuixian knew how to drink it.Because Cuixian believed that Lu Dahu was her helping hand.

You Jingwu gave the four turtles tea, but the four turtles couldn't drink it.Because the four turtles recognized You Jingwu as their opponent.

An old killer who has been around the world for many years, he is naturally very alert.This is called professionalism.

Fat Turtle said fairly: "We're still thirsty. The tea at the inn is worthy of being drunk by an official. We low-life people are not worthy of drinking it. Thank you for your kindness."

You Jingwu frowned and thought to himself: These four people refuse to drink tea.If you want to capture him alive, there is no other way, just use force.

So You Jingwu made an excuse to go to Tongpu.

Since Basha and six strong men were dispatched to protect Liang Bohong in his bedroom, there were only more than 40 Jinyi guards left in the Tongpu.There are also three followers of Wang Yi.

You Jingwu ordered twenty strong men and came to the hall.

You Jingwu said angrily to the four turtle men: "I said you look familiar! You are the Yangtze thieves from Jiangnan! You have committed major crimes of murder and robbery in Cixi County under my rule! Why, now you are dressed as turtles Did you hide your identity?"

"It's really hard to find a place like this. It takes no effort to get here! Come on, take down the four of them. When the rain stops, take them back to Beijing and send them to the Ministry of Punishment!"

Fat Turtle Gong reacted immediately, and his killer's identity was discovered by You Jingwu.

The fat turtle laughed and said, "Hey, you want to catch us?"

"Snapped"!Fat Turtle opened the big box next to him.

Inside the big box were three barrels of gunpowder!

The Fourth Young Master Xie worked as an experienced officer in the Dudu Mansion.It is not difficult to get three barrels of gunpowder.

Another turtle man picked up a candle on the table with a tacit understanding and placed it next to the gunpowder fuse.

Fat Turtle was fair: "Don't touch anyone! If you do, let's go to the West together! Do you think the poisonous oriole has gained a reputation in vain?"

Lu Dahu walked down from the second floor: "I have captured the poisonous oriole. Don't resist any longer!"

Fat Turtle sneered: "Ha, you think the Poisonous Oriole is the woman on the bed on the second floor? Let me tell you, the Poisonous Oriole is never one person, but five people!"

"The four of us are also poisonous oriole! Don't move. My brother's hand shakes. Let's finish playing together! This is the gunpowder used in the Beijing Camp Hongwu Iron Cannon."

"If the three barrels explode together, the entire inn will be razed to the ground!"

He is worthy of being a famous killer in the five northern provinces.People come prepared.

They had already made up their minds. If the assassination failed, they would threaten You Jingwu and hand over Liang Bohong by threatening to die together.

Fat Turtle shouted: "Now I give you two choices. One, hand over Liang Bohong! Two, let's all die together and be our companions on the road to hell!"

"We are low-level killers. If we can recruit fifty imperial guards and have Butcher Chang's adopted son as our backers before we die, we will make a lot of money!"

When Fat Turtle shouted, You Jingwu was betrayed.

Yi Cheng had a horrified expression on his face, and asked with his mouth wide open: "Yu Zhixian, are you a Jinyiwei?"

You Jingwu ignored Yi Cheng, who was as greedy for money as his life.He shouted to the four turtle men: "I advise you not to do stupid things. As you just said, there are fifty royal guards in this station. You can't run away!"

Fat Turtle said fairly: "Then we will die together. There is nothing to say. We are actually peers. We do all the work with our heads in our belts. We have already made a profit by being able to survive to this day!"

After speaking, Fat Turtle gave his accomplice holding the candle a wink.The accomplice shouted: "Brothers, see you in the next life!" He was about to light the gunpowder fuse as a gesture.

Lu Dahu shouted: "Wait a minute!"

You Jingwu looked at Lu Dahu.

Lu Dahu said: "Master Chang issued a death order and obtained irrefutable evidence of the Xie family's assassination of the guilty officer. The prerequisite is to ensure your safety, Master You."

"If you can only choose one of the two, Master Chang tells you to choose Master You for your safety!"
