Chapter 156 Embroidered Spring Knife
It was already dark, and there was only one oil lamp lit in the main room. The solitary lamp was like a bean, with only a square inch of light.

The old man who had experienced vicissitudes of life leaned on the recliner, with a thin blanket on his body, completely hidden in the darkness, motionless.The slightly rough breathing sound was the only evidence that he was still alive.Mr. Zheng, who is radiant during the day, is actually riddled with various diseases, and is in great pain at night.But what was even worse was his heart disease. In the past few years, the old man hadn't slept a full night's sleep. Day after day, he was awakened by nightmares at night, and then greeted the dawn in panic.After a long time, he was the most relaxed when it was just dark, because it meant... the Zheng family's thousands of people, old and young, had another day in peace.

The old man had something on his mind, so he opened his eyes after a short nap, saw a familiar figure sitting by the recliner, and said slowly, "I'm back."

"I'm back, father." Zheng Yan said softly.

"Is it done?"

"It's done." Zheng Yandao: "It went well, but it took a little long."

"Where did you grow up?"

"Wang Xian asked Xiu'er about the time."

"What does Xiu'er say?" The old man frowned slightly, the last thing he wanted to see was unexpected complications.

"She said nothing." Zheng Yandao: "I just asked about the process in detail."

"Why are you so detailed?" Mr. Zheng frowned.

"I don't know." Zheng Yan shook his head: "Maybe it's a curiosity, after all, it's the first house in Jiangnan..."

"Hmm..." Mr. Zheng thought for a while, but he couldn't feel any malice, but he still said cautiously: "Lao Liu has done something wrong, and shouldn't let Zheng Hui back...he is a hidden danger after all."

"Yes." Zheng Yan sighed: "This bastard is too ignorant, if he hadn't talked nonsense with Shao Yuan, why would he..."

"Let him stay at home honestly and not leave Zhengzhai Town. After a while, when the rumors pass, let him go to Fujian, follow his father, and don't come back again!" Mr. Zheng sighed, he could understand his grandson He is homesick, but for the safety of the clan, he cannot be allowed to stay in Pujiang anymore.

"Father, don't worry." Zheng Yan responded: "The child will make proper arrangements."

"Besides, Wang Xian has to keep an eye on it." Mr. Zheng closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again.

"Father, don't worry, most of the people in the yamen are our people. As soon as he flaps his wings, we know where to fly." Zheng Yan said with a smile.In Pujiang, the surname Zheng is the king. If you have another surname, you can only stand aside.Although the direct descendants of the Zheng family disdain to earn a living in the yamen, those collateral descendants who are out of the fifth service don't have so many worries.The yamen is occupied by collateral descendants of the Zheng family, what can be hidden from them?

"It's not enough," Mr. Zheng thought it was insignificant: "It will be too late when he flaps his wings. I want to know what he thinks and what he is going to do! Only in this way can I rest assured!"

"This..." Zheng Yan couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly, his father's cautiousness had reached a morbid level. "Wang Xian only trusts the four people he brought from Fuyang, and the rest cannot enter his circle." After a pause, he said, "However, I think his two long-term attendants are wretched and mean-spirited, so it's better to get someone to win them over." ?”

"Yes." Mr. Zheng nodded and said, "If you ask Duke Zhou to think of a way, they are in Fuyang County, don't they have hidden piles, let's see if we can use it."

"This, is it a bit of a laborious task?" Zheng Yan disagreed.

"Master's safety is no small matter." Old Master Zheng said decisively, "Tell Zhou Gong, when a nail is placed beside Wang Xian, Master's safety will be safe."

"Yes." Zheng Yan had no choice but to answer.

.

The story is divided into two parts. In Pujiang County, the night is dark and the wind is high. A figure sneaks in the darkness and comes to an alley in the east of the city silently. .

Under the eaves is the newly built mourning hall, where more than a dozen people in plain clothes are weeping.Sitting next to the coffin was an old woman with a dull expression. It was actually Mrs. Wu who came to Xiya to give a statement today...

Yes, this is Wu Shaoyuan's family who was declared dead. What the old lady said is true. The Wu family has indeed lived a good life these years. Just the three-storey two-story house is enough to explain the problem.

Although most of the Wu family members were keeping vigil in the mourning hall, the man in black was patiently lurking on the roof until the fourth watch. He quietly crawled to the back house when he was most sleepy, entered the empty main room, and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to check, but it was of no use. He didn't search for anything until he touched a single knife with a shark sheath at the bottom of the box... He casually took the knife out and couldn't help being stunned.

Experts from the inner family have excellent eyesight, and can see things clearly even in the dark. The man in black is an example.He looked at it carefully, and saw that this knife was longer than a single knife, and slightly shorter than a long sword, and the handle was quite long, allowing two hands to hold the knife.Holding the handle in one hand and the sheath in the other, the man in black slowly pulled out the long knife, and saw the blade with a thick back and thin blade like a razor, shining with a frightening cold light.

'What a mouthful of Hundred Refinements Embroidery Spring Knife! 'The man in black gave a dark praise.He is no stranger to this knife.Because each of the Jinyiwei around Hu Yun wears such a handle!This is Jin Yiwei's standard weapon, the Xiuchun Knife. Jin Yiwei may not wear the flying fish suit, but he must wear the Xiuchun Knife!

He knew that the Xiuchun Knife was a god among the knives, each handle was made of excellent steel, and it had been tempered thousands of times, so the blade was extremely sharp.With a knife in both hands, one cut can cut off the entire horse's head!

Even the prosperous and powerful Ming Empire is unable to equip troops with such a precious sword. Only the emperor's own army, Jin Yiwei, will have one!
Also because of its preciousness, it is said that when the weapon supervisor is forging, everyone's name will be engraved on the knife body, one knife per person!

Standing up the knife, the man in black stared at the blade for a while, and found the engraved place, but couldn't see the writing clearly... After all, it was dark, and it was already very unnatural to be able to see the outline clearly.

With a secret sigh, the man in black took out a luminous pearl from his arms... This one was dozens of times more expensive than this house, but the man in black used it for lighting.Well, Ye Mingzhu already has this function...

Bringing the bright night pearl close to the blade, the man in black finally saw the handwriting clearly, then put away the night pearl, put the knife into the sheath, put it back to its original place, checked that there were no traces left, and the man in black swam from behind like a fish. The window went out, and they left Wu's house with their bodies, disappearing into the vast night.

Not long after the man in black left, another man in black came in and started rummaging through the box, but also found nothing... until he found the embroidered spring knife at the bottom of the box.The man in black drew out his knife, but also found that he couldn't read the words clearly.Unexpectedly, he also took out a luminous pearl. After seeing the words on it, he put away the luminous pearl, sheathed the knife, put it back in its original place, checked that there were no traces left, and went out through the rear window like a fish, disappearing into the night... …If anyone has witnessed these two scenes, he must think that either he has hallucinations, or that the man in black is wrong, and he has to do it again if he is not satisfied with the first time... In fact, there are two people at all...

The last man in black walked around the county town and returned to a cruise ship docked by the river after making sure that no one was following him.

The lights on the boat were dim, there was no Meiji to greet her, only an old man with yellow hair.

The man in black tore off his kerchief, revealing an unrivaled handsome face, it was the Wuque son Wei Wuque!
The yellow-haired old man waited for him to take off his night clothes and put on the usual Confucian robe and soap towel, and said slowly: "Let this kind of thing be left to the old slave, why bother young master to do it yourself?"

"Anyway, there is no danger." Wei Wuque sat down, took a sip of Tieguanyin from the teacup, and said with a smile, "It's all time to relieve boredom."

"Hehe..." The yellow-haired old man smiled and said, "Young master, is it a good time?"

"Not bad." Wei Wuque said with a smile, "That Wudang kid's lightness kung fu is pretty good, but unfortunately he's just a baby, he thinks he's alert, but he doesn't care about his head. I stayed behind him for an hour, but he didn't notice me."

"That's natural. Although Sun Biyun's kung fu is high, his ability to teach his apprentices is not as good as that of our own teaching." The yellow-haired old man laughed. "What's more, how much training the young master has experienced since childhood, is it comparable to the kind of kid who was raised in a deep boudoir?"

"Hehe..." Wei Wuque smiled and said, "Fortunately, he didn't kill Wang Xian at the beginning, this kid is really smart!" After a pause, he said, "But he is still no match for the master's trick of 'mantis catching cicada, oriole is behind'!"

"It seems that the harvest is not small." The old man with yellow hair laughed.

"Yes." Wei Wuque nodded and said, "I found an Xiuchun knife at Wu's house, with Wu Tianxi's name engraved on it."

"Wu Tianxi..." the yellow-haired old man said, "It seems to be Wu Shaoyuan's father." After all, Mingjiao is not a government office, and it is more difficult to check the files.

"Very likely. No matter what, Wu Shaoyuan is inseparable from Jin Yiwei." Wei Wuque said slowly: "I just don't understand why Jin Yiwei has killed the spies, why is he still standing still? Since the Zheng family knew that Jin Yiwei was targeting them, why didn't they stay still?" Send that person away?"

"The previous question is not difficult to explain," the yellow-haired old man said with a smile, "Wu Tianxi seems to have been a food chief. It is said that all the food chiefs at that time were recruited by Zhu Zhongba as secret agents of the Jinyiwei, and given waist cards, seals and other things. The knife That’s how it should have come.” After a pause, he said, “But then Zhu Yuanzhang disbanded the Jinyiwei, and those spies lost their organization and were not recognized by the court. It wasn’t until King Yan usurped and rebuilt the Jinyiwei that some spies Lu Returning one after another. Wu Shaoyuan is almost in this situation, but there is no Jinyiwei organization in Zhejiang, he has to go to Beijing to pay homage to the yamen! He is afraid that people will underestimate him, so he wants to make a great contribution and return to Jinyiwei, so he can get a good seat!"

"Then, Jin Yiwei probably doesn't know that there is such a person?" Wei Wuque suddenly asked, "The last one, is it because Wu Shaoyuan's identity was hidden too well, and the Zheng family didn't find out?"

"Very likely." The old man with yellow hair nodded. "Wu Shaoyuan's identity should not have been discovered, so the Zheng family will be in the mood to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."
