The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 292 Tiger Crime Box

Chang Feng placed a total of eight internal agents in Liu Jian and Xie Qian's two mansions.These eight people are all servants and maids of Liu and Xie.

Even core members of the civil service group like Jiao Fang didn't know where the six boxes of evidence against the Eight Tigers were stored, let alone these eight servants, who naturally didn't know.

Chang Feng was in trouble.To find anything, you must at least have a direction.But now there is no direction.

Changfu.

Qian Ning, Wang Miaoxin, Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai, and Basha gathered together.

These five people were brought out by Chang Feng single-handedly, and they are all confidants.Chang Feng discussed with them about finding the "Tiger Crime Box".

Basha said: "The handsome man was looking for the accounts of the Shuangmu Society in the Fujian Chamber of Commerce. He first set fire to it, and then 'put out the fire'. In the name of putting out the fire, he emptied the Fujian Chamber of Commerce. Then he used various means of ransacking the house to find the accounts. "

"I think it's better to repeat the old plan? While Liu and Xie are on duty in the cabinet, set a fire in their mansion."

Chang Feng waved his hand: "No! The mansions of the Chief Minister and Ge Lao are not local businessmen's guilds. The civil servants had taken control of the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities five years ago. Liu and Xie's mansions are guarded by soldiers of the Military and Horse Department. Even if there is a fire, put out the fire. It’s not our Jinyiwei’s turn either. And the people from these two families won’t listen to our orders and leave obediently.”

Qian Ning said: "It's better to use the old method of kidnapping. Kidnap Liu and Xie's children and force them to hand over the tiger crime box."

Chang Feng shook his head repeatedly: "No. Then we'll scare the snake away."

Chang Feng did not tell his subordinates clearly.The civil service group plans to get rid of the Eight Tigers in ten days.Similarly, Emperor Zhengde and the Eight Tigers also planned to purge the civil servants in ten days.

Qian Ning said: "Master Chang thinks the kidnapping method is dirty?"

Chang Feng sighed: "Oh. I have worked in Jinyiwei for 20 years, and I have used even dirtier methods. Dirty than you can imagine."

"I won't let you kidnap people, not because they are dirty tricks. There are some things I can't tell you. In short, kidnapping is not feasible."

"And I know those ruthless civil servants. In order to get rid of political opponents, dominate the court, and pursue supreme power. They may even abandon their own children."

Qian Ning said fiercely: "In my opinion, it's better to do nothing and keep doing nothing. Assassinate Liu Jian and Xie Qian cleanly."

"As long as they are dead, the civil servants will be leaderless. What will happen even if the tiger crime box is handed over to the emperor? You must know that the emperor also wants to get rid of Liu and Xie!"

Chang Feng said: "You are wrong. The emperor wants to get rid of Liu and Xie, but he will never kill Liu and Xie. The king of heaven and earth is his master. The emperor does not want to and cannot bear the name of killing masters."

"Taking a step back, if the emperor really kills Liu and Xie, he will definitely find a scapegoat. Who do you think the emperor will use as a scapegoat?"

Basha on the side blurted out: "Jinyiwei."

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "Taizu killed Hu Weiyong and made our Jin Yiwei's ancestor, Tishuai Mao Xiang, a scapegoat; Taizu killed Lan Yu and made the second Tishuai Jiang Wei a scapegoat; Taizong killed Jie Jin, Let Yongle Chaoti Shuai Ji Gang be the scapegoat."

"Mao Xiang, Jiang Yu, and Ji Gang killed people for Taizu and Taizong. In the end, they ended up being blamed and killed. I don't want to be like them."

What Chang Feng said made Qian Ning feel sour.

Chang Feng thought of himself as Tishuai in his words.But in name, the commander Qian Ning is Tishuai!
Shi Wenyi interjected: "If you can't set fire, kill, or kidnap, then there's nothing you can do."

Chang Feng burst out laughing when he heard this: "The civil servants all say that our Jinyiwei are a group of butchers. Thinking about it, what they said makes sense. Whatever we want to do, the first method that comes to mind is killing, arson, or kidnapping."

Zhang Caidao: "We still need to discuss this matter with Eunuch Liu. After all, it was Eunuch Liu who found out about Liu and Xie hiding the tiger crime box."

Chang Feng remembered that Liu Jin had said that he had placed two internal agents beside Liu and Xie.Liu Jin did not specify the identity of these two internal agents.

Thinking of this, Chang Feng said: "Let's do this. I will go to Eunuch Liu to discuss it again in the afternoon. You can go back to the guard first."

Everyone dispersed.Liu Xiaoyan walked in.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "You brought those five guys here to discuss murder, right?"

Chang Feng replied: "No, we are discussing about finding something crucial."

Liu Xiaoyan told Chang Feng: "Taoist Zhang came to our house a few days ago. He said that the smell of blood in our house is too strong, which is not conducive to Ping'er's pregnancy. He suggested that Ping'er go back to her parents' home."

"You have killed too many people in your life, and the house is full of blood."

Taoist Zhang, the favorite minister of the Empress Dowager Zhou in the Hongzhi Dynasty and a member of Qianhu, a royal guard, has resigned from office for many years and is 60 years old this year.He now lives in Qingshui Temple outside the city, and visits Chang Mansion every time he enters the city.

Chang Feng wanted to make a joke to his wife, but when he was about to say, "Have you ever killed someone before?" he swallowed it again.

Chang Feng said: "Then let Ping'er go back to her parents' home. Li Dongyang has been a child prodigy since he was a child. Because of his talent, he was summoned three times by Emperor Jing when he was four, six and eight years old. He entered Shuntianfu School at the age of eight and passed the imperial examination at the age of 16. , the 17-year-old No. [-] No. [-] on the gold list, the mansion of a well-educated Confucian is auspicious and will definitely be conducive to raising a child."

After Yingzong was restored to power, he abolished the title of Emperor Jingtai and changed his posthumous title to "King Yin", and his posthumous title was "Rule", and he was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum.During the Chenghua period, Emperor Chenghua overturned the verdict of his uncle and gave him the posthumous title of "Emperor Gongren Kang Dingjing".Therefore, Chang Feng called him "Emperor Jing".

Liu Xiaoyan smiled and said: "I hope our grandson will follow his grandfather after he is born, not you."

Chang Feng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Yes. Don't follow me. Before leaving the capital, Ma Laobutang commented in front of the emperor that I was cunning, ruthless, bloody, and like a butcher. I have a conscience, but not much. '."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "There is nothing better than a father who knows a son, and there is nothing better than a wife who knows a husband. Not to mention, Ma Laobu Tang's evaluation of you is quite pertinent."

Chang Feng put down his tea bowl and suddenly said with a serious face: "Actually, Li Dongyang is more cunning than me. When necessary, he will be more ruthless than me!"

That afternoon, Chang Feng came to Liu Jin's outer house.

Liu Jin is on duty in the palace at the moment.Three months ago, Emperor Zhengde ordered him to supervise the construction of the Leopard House next to Taiye Pond in Xiyuan.Recently he has been serving Emperor Zhengde in the Leopard Room.

The Leopard Room, to outsiders, was the place where Emperor Zhengde indulged in his lustful pleasures.

The Eight Tigers selected a total of [-] beauties for Emperor Zhengde and presented them to Emperor Zhengde in the Leopard Room.

In the Leopard Room, there are only beauties and beasts.There are tigers, lions, leopards and rare birds inside.It was named "Leopard Room" because Emperor Zhengde liked to watch leopards fighting for pieces of meat.

It's like the attitude towards the buying and selling street.Although the civil servants wrote a memorial to oppose the establishment of a leopard room, they stopped at that point and did not kneel down to remonstrate.

The young emperor was obsessed with playing with women and animals and neglected political affairs, which was conducive to the consolidation of power by civil servants.

Chang Feng knows the true purpose of the Leopard Room.

Jiang Bin introduced to Emperor Zhengde the warriors he had served in the frontier army.After Emperor Zhengde called them back to Beijing, he asked them to live in the Xiyuan Leopard House as leopard-taming "leopard slaves".

Emperor Zhengde studied martial arts and discussed military strategies with them every day.

This is not only a way for the young emperor to learn from the warriors who have fought in hundreds of battles, but also a way for the young emperor to test their abilities.

When necessary, this group of "leopard slaves" would be officially transferred from frontier army generals to Beijing camp generals to help Emperor Zhengde firmly control the military power.

Of course, there are more than 300 beauties. Emperor Zhengde is in his prime of life, and he is not as dedicated as the previous emperor.In the Leopard Room, in addition to the business of seizing military power, he also did the business of sleeping with beautiful women.

For the emperor, sleeping with beautiful women was of course a serious business - to spread the branches and leaves of the Zhu Ming royal family.

Chang Feng saw that Liu Jin was not in the outer house, so he asked a young eunuch to go to the palace to call him back.

Liu Jin returned to his outer house an hour later.Liu Jin smiled and said: "Uncle, what do you think I was busy with just now?"

Chang Feng said: "How could I have guessed."

Liu Jin sat on the chair and said, "I'm going to watch Ya San purify herself."

Chang Feng was surprised: "Purify yourself?"

Liu Jin said: "Yasan is really a coward. He actually had an affair with a girl from the Leopard House. Although that girl has not served the emperor yet, she has no status as a concubine. But after all, she is a woman who is a tribute to the emperor." "

"The emperor thinks that Ya San's ability to speak Western languages ​​is extremely rare, so he is reluctant to kill him. He simply asked me to find Zhang Dao in the palace to castrate him."

"Now Ya San is an eighth-grade fireman under the supervision of Zheng'er Ba Jing, Chief of Ceremonies."

Chang Feng said: "There is no way, the word "sex" has a knife on the head. Living with the emperor among the flowers in the Leopard Room, it is human nature for Ya San to not be able to control his belt. It doesn't matter if he cuts it, he will lose his life after cutting it. A big trouble."

Liu Jin asked: "Little uncle, what's the matter with you asking me to come back in such a hurry?"

Chang Feng replied: "I have no clue about the search for those six wooden boxes. After thinking about it, you have to tell me who the hidden stakes you planted around Liu and Xie are. I can think of a way to use the hidden stakes. Let’s start looking for the whereabouts of the wooden box.”

Liu Jin stared at Chang Feng and thought for a long time.

Chang Feng said: "We are a family, and you even hide it from me?"

Liu Jin said nothing.

Chang Feng said: "I don't even know who the hidden stake is, how can I help you eight father-in-laws?"

Liu Jin gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, and told Chang Feng two names: "Jiao Fang, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel. Zhang Cai, the doctor of the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel."

Chang Feng was stunned when he heard these two names: "Jiao Fang? That's the hardcore backbone of the civil service group, the confidant of Liu and Xie Yin! He has always been at odds with the father-in-law. Good guy, he hid it deep enough."

"Zhang Cai? That's my close literary friend for more than ten years! He came to my house last month to teach me how to make crafts and help me prepare for the exam in two years! He secretly joined you , I don’t know anything about it?”

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Don't you always say this? If the king is not secretive, the minister will lose; if the minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if a few things are not secretive, it will cause harm."

There wasn't much ink in Liu Jin's stomach, just like Chang Feng's conscience, not much but enough.

Chang Feng asked: "How long have they taken refuge in you?"

Liu Jin's answer made Chang Feng take a breath: "Five or six years ago."

Chang Feng sighed: "It's been five or six years, but I haven't noticed it. From now on, I won't dare to brag about it. I know half of the things in heaven, but I know everything on earth."

Liu Jin said: "I don't blame my uncle for his poor hearing and eyesight. Everyone always has a few big secrets that outsiders don't know about. These two hidden secrets are the biggest secrets about me."

Chang Feng actually didn't blame Liu Jin for hiding it from him.He is a veteran in the officialdom, so he naturally knows that the identity of a hidden stake must be kept strictly confidential.The greater the stakes, the more secretive the person behind the scenes must be.

Chang Feng said: "Call them here today. How about we discuss how to find the 'tiger crime box'?"

At this point, Chang Feng knew that he had made a mistake.He quickly said: "Oh, I mean those six big wooden boxes."

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, little uncle, I'm not taboo about this. 'Tiger Sin Box'? This name is quite appropriate."

"The two of them will never come in the afternoon. They will not come to my house until midnight after I send out the agreed-upon secret signal."

Chang Feng said: "That's done. Then let them come at midnight."

Liu Jin clapped his hands, and a personal eunuch walked in.

Liu Jin ordered him: "Go and get the box beside my bed."

After a while, the eunuch brought the box.

Liu Jin opened it and saw a pair of jade bracelets inside.

This pair of jadeite bracelets has clear water and pure color, echoing the Six Arts of Jadeite: "Dense, Yang, Zheng, Yan, and Uniform".Flawless and natural.The carving work is also of the highest quality.

Liu Jin smiled and said: "This is a Yunnan jadeite bracelet that a foreign official returned to Beijing to honor me. It's called the 'Through the Sky Bracelet'. To say it is priceless is an exaggeration. One bracelet is still worth a thousand taels of gold."

"I heard that it is helpful for pregnant women to wear jade bracelets to prevent miscarriage. My sister-in-law is already five months pregnant, right? You can take it back and give it to her. Consider me the eldest brother."

Chang Feng shied away: "This is too expensive."

Liu Jin said: "Jingwu is protecting the emperor's sweetheart outside the capital. Naturally, I have to take care of his wife in the capital. If you don't accept her, you will look down on me, an old nephew."

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Then I'm not welcome!"

Liu Jin said: "Why are you so polite? Having said that, if the Eight Tigers fall, you and Li Dongyang will probably follow suit. By then, Ping'er will not be wearing a jade bracelet, but a large bracelet prepared for the family members of the prison officials. Shackled."

There was a hint of threat in Liu Jin's voice.

Chang Feng remained silent.

He knew that what Liu Jin said was true.

The Eight Tigers and Chang Feng have long had a mutually beneficial relationship.

To put it bluntly, four of the Eight Tigers made their fortune thanks to Chang Feng's influence.

Needless to say, Liu Jin and Wei Bin.Qiu Ju was just an old and young prisoner who watched Huangzhuang.Because Emperor Hongzhi gave the Chang family a piece of land in the imperial village.Chang Feng always takes his family there for an outing in spring and gets to know Qiu Ju.

Chang Feng said in front of Emperor Hongzhi: "Qiu Ju thinks that Huangzhuang is good. The crops in Huangzhuang are growing well."

Qiu Ju was then transferred to the palace by Emperor Hongzhi, and gradually became one of the "Eight Tigers"
If the Eight Tigers lose power and are killed.The civil service clique will definitely liquidate the members of the Eight Tigers.Changfeng bore the brunt.

Chang Feng joins the Eight Tigers. In addition to his public interest in not wanting to sit back and watch the civil servants dominate the world, he also has a selfish interest in keeping the Chang family safe.

Publicly or privately, Chang Feng must find the "Tiger Crime Box" for the Eight Tigers this time.

Chang Feng stood up: "Then I will go back to the guard first. Then I will come to your outer house at midnight."

After saying that, Chang Feng turned around and left.

Liu Jin stood up and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Chang Feng asked: "What's wrong?"

Liu Jin picked up the box containing the jade bracelet: "You forgot to take the jade bracelet back to my sister-in-law Ping'er!"
