Martial Arts: Dress up as a traitor and traitor

Chapter 25 The Reason
——In the 12th year of Tianzheng year, on the night of the third day of April, two hundred riders traveled south from Quzhou to Fujian along the Xianxia Ancient Road. They disappeared without a trace in Yanping Prefecture (Letter from Xianxia Ancient Road Station) until Tang Tianrong, the seventh son of the Tang clan, led the Western Shu When the escort agency entered Yanping, it reappeared (letter from a tea shop in Taoyuan County, Yanping Prefecture). Wearing official armor, riding military horses, and holding documents, they set up an ambush at Shitou Gang and robbed the Xishu Escort Agency.

——Among the two hundred horses, the leader of the Ming Dynasty is more than thirty years old. He has a handsome face and elegant temperament. His surname is Song. The people below call him "Master Song" and "Mr. Song" (Taoyuan County Horse and Carriage Company has provided fodder, so this is hereby passed on) Letter), with a strange accent and an aggravated ending, he is suspected of being a Japanese.

——The man surnamed Song wears Qianzong level armor. The clothing and armor are very new, not like old things. Although he has the highest status, he has great respect for the other two young people and the old man who wear general armor. There is a striped tattoo (half of it has been copied, so I can’t see all of it. Letter from Yuelai Inn at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain), and the old man was seriously injured (he bought medicine from Baoantang Pharmacy in Yanping Prefecture, and the prescription is attached.)
"This is……"

Xiao Jingxing first took out the prescription and looked at it carefully, and murmured: "Judging from the dosage, the internal injury is not serious."

He took out another piece of paper and looked at the tattoo pattern. There was only half of it, and the remaining half was hidden under the gauntlet. It was vaguely a ring with black and white stripes inside. Xiao Jingxing only glanced at it and already saw the way out: "Japanese thin The Sichuan family emblem... I understand, he is really a devil!"

Since he is a foreigner, Xiao Keji should not have an affair with them. The peach probably has another origin.

Xiao Jingxing's whole body relaxed.

Shen Daoxiu, who had been watching from the side, saw this and smiled: "Do you understand?"

"more or less."

Xiao Jingxing drank all the soy milk in the bowl, quickly sorted through it with both hands, put the information into a pile again, and handed it to Shen Daoxiu: "You will understand if you read it in order. Oh, by the way, I also need to add the previous few days. In the information, 'Japan's tribute envoys came to pay tribute', 'The city's shipping department was temporarily closed', 'The eunuch in charge accidentally got sick', etc., the whole thing is not difficult to guess."

"..."

Shen Daoxiu glanced at the thick stack of nearly 50 text messages filled with words, and said in disbelief: "I won't read it, just tell me directly. Just now you said you felt sorry for her."

"Well, I'm not exercising you..."

Xiao Jingxing coughed and chuckled: "Remember that the Japanese tribute envoys came to pay tribute at the end of March? I told you when I came back."

Shen Daoxiu thought for a while: "I have an impression. You said that the weasel paid New Year greetings to the chicken, and the chicken had to be generous and give more New Year's money... Haha."

Shen Daoxiu couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Jingxing sighed helplessly: "Although it sounds ugly, it's the truth. It's not easy to bear the name of the Celestial Kingdom. When Daqian was founded, Taizu established the basic principle of the central dynasty in paying tribute: thick and thin .

The imperial edict states: "The barbarian chiefs came to court, wading through mountains and rivers and traveling tens of thousands of miles."Since he came back with admiration for justice, he should give generous gifts to show the court's tenderness. '

This means that even if the Japanese enshrine a few broken knives and euphemistically call them 'national treasures', Daqian will give them 'equal' gold, silver, silk and satin, and reimburse travel expenses to show their kindness.but……"

Xiao Jingxing sighed and shook his head.

"But the white-eyed wolf cannot be raised well enough."

Shen Daoxiu understood the truth and answered: "The gold and silver eventually turned into swords, guns, swords and halberds, and were chopped down on the people along the coast."

"Yes."

Xiao Jingxing said: "I'm afraid the rewards will not be generous, and the hospitality will be inadequate... Who wouldn't want to come to such a warm and hospitable place? What's even more outrageous is that even if these barbarians cause trouble within the territory, they will always use 'don't lose people's hearts' as their motto. Since 'it will not be an example next time', let it go.

Stomping on the nose and face, riding on the neck to shit, and still being forgiven time and time again, this is no longer giving lucky money, this is the great love like Buddha cutting flesh to feed to eagles, it is simply... stupid! "

Xiao Jingxing became more and more angry as he talked and simply skipped the topic: "Not only that, for Japan, tribute also represents the right to trade with the Central Plains. One transaction can generate dozens of times the profit!
For example, the price of raw silk in Daqian is 250 Wen per catty, but when shipped back to China, it becomes [-] Wen, and the profit is as high as [-] times!Ordinary swords cost about [-] yen in Japan, but they can be sold to Daqian for the same price. This is a huge profit! "

With such profits, who wouldn’t be jealous?
Xiao Jingxing drank his porridge slowly and continued: "There have been rumors for a long time that since the fifth year of Tianzheng, after civil strife broke out in Japan, the power of the shogunate was ejected, and Japan was controlled by two powerful families, namely the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan.

In order to compete for the right to pay tribute and gain access to the imperial court, the two sides repeatedly fought. At the end of last month, two large ships were anchored in Ningbo Port. This already illustrates the problem. "

The Central Plains and Japan were engaged in exploration and trade.

Only by holding the talisman document issued by the Daqian court can Japanese merchant ships be inspected by the Municipal Shipping Department, enter the port, and be allowed to trade.

Others are not allowed to enter without permission. Anyone who enters the port privately will be regarded as a pirate and will be eradicated!
Therefore, the tribute is worthy and is a cash cow for the two wealthy families.

But it only has one serving.

"Two boats...one after another..."

Shen Daoxiu's eyes lit up: "Did those two wealthy families send people? Then one of them must be fake! That's not right..." Shen Daoxiu suddenly remembered something, quickly rummaged through the stack of information, pulled out one of the pieces, and said: "Here, shopkeeper Pei's information clearly stated that both ships entered the port and inspected the goods. Can it be true if it is false?"

"That's the problem."

Xiao Jingxing gave her a teachable look and sneered: "Although I don't know what happened specifically, after that day, two large ships were detained, the tribute matter was not followed up, and the eunuch He Xiang, the general manager of the Municipal Shipping Department, fell ill and disappeared. The building for foreign guests and guests has started to be renovated...

It was also after that that two hundred well-trained "official troops" appeared on the border between Zhejiang and Fujian. They repeatedly intercepted and killed the caravan escorts, and framed the blame on the governor of Fujian. Now they have even rushed to Quanzhou Port... What happened What, isn't that obvious? "

Shen Daoxiu vaguely understood and said in surprise: "Did those two wealthy families start a fight in the guest building?"

"more than."

Xiao Jingxing looked solemn: "If it was just an internal fight and no information was hidden, I'm afraid that the Shipping Department was also involved - the Hosokawa family might not only have dealt with the Ouchi delegation, but also severely damaged He Xiang, the general manager of the Shipping Department, and even They may have killed him, smashed up the guest building, looted the valuables, and left! Considering the face issue, they kept it secret and allowed this group of Japanese envoys to wander around...a bunch of trash!"

Xiao Jingxing looked furious.

Shen Daoxiu opened his mouth in shock: "Then the armor documents on them..."

Xiao Jingxing shook his head: "Even the Ship Bureau has suffered a loss and cannot be caught. There must be an expert in the mission! Just rob the treasury of the guard station. Losing armor and documents is not a trivial matter. It is reasonable not to dare to say anything. Among them, but..."

Xiao Jingxing looked at the prescription: "The strongest person in the mission has been severely injured, and the remaining people have to play dirty tricks, trying to use the help of others to get rid of Goldman Sachs, and use the civil strife to break out of Quanzhou Port... From this point of view, There is still a group of people chasing them secretly, but they can still be saved."

"But……"

Shen Daoxiu still didn't understand: "If they were just fleeing, how did they know that the Xishu Escort Bureau had hidden treasures and laid an ambush in advance? There is also the Haisha Gang. There is no way they all have Japanese moles."

"Not sure."

Xiao Jingxing mused: "The Hosokawa clan controls half of Japan's martial arts world, and there are ninjas from the Iga sect who have taken refuge. The secrets of ninja techniques are very important, and there are many capable people under their command. Maybe there is an expert who can control people's hearts...

You must be extra careful during this period. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and the more people there are, the more likely it is to cause trouble. "

Seeing Xiao Jingxing's serious look, Shen Daoxiu nodded: "I'm at home. So are you."

"Well, but before that, let's give the Sea Shark Gang and Goldman Sachs a heads up."

After Xiao Jingxing had eaten, he quickly wrote two flying letters to the shopkeeper of Ping'an Inn and Governor Goldman Sachs, asking the shopkeeper to find a reason to hand it over to the Haisha Gang who stayed at the inn. As for Goldman... He donated money to help the war a year ago and revealed his identity. At that time, I had met him once, so I shouldn't have ignored him.

Xiao Jing's meridians are not good enough, he cannot fight for a long time, and he cannot participate in the battle in person. If he gets involved in these things, he can only use up his strength.

There are no eggs under the covering nest.

The focus of the escort agency's family business and business is in Quanzhou. Even if the interests of the family and the country are not taken into consideration, and only the interests are concerned, if the Japanese pirates really let in, it will be harmful but not beneficial.

After finishing all this, Xiao Jingxing took out the [Jade Flat Peach] that was refrigerated with ice cubes under the secret compartment in the corner.

Now it is basically confirmed that Xiao Keji and the Japanese are not the same group, so there is no need to worry about the follow-up and you can take it with peace of mind.

Even if we take ten thousand steps back, if we are really in the same group, there is no need to save him.

It’s important to improve your skills first.

"Come on, open your mouth and we'll share half of it."

"What kind of peach is this? Why is it green and white? It looks like it's not ripe."

"[Jade Flat Peach]."

"Oh... eh?!"
