Cultivation little Taoist

Chapter 953 Jinyiwei Siwen ([-])
"Before I say that, I have to give a compliment.

Your Maoshan face-to-face skills are really quite accurate. "Si Wen said, and continued:
"I passed by that door at the time and overheard a discussion among several colleagues.

"Do you know? Our lord has a quirk. Before he promotes people, he always asks someone to look at them. Only those who have qualified faces can truly become his confidantes."

"Wang Zongqi don't want to talk nonsense, then how did you become the confidant of the adults?" Someone laughed and retorted.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Zongqi Wang blew his beard and slapped the table, "Do you know why the laundryman surnamed Si is not reused?"

"What?"

"Your Excellency once told me when he was drunk, he asked someone to show that guy a picture, and said what he was... slanted eyes, fierce light, etc..." Wang Zongqi said, "Anyway, it's just white eyes. The meaning of the wolf, this kind of appearance is the most ungrateful and cannot be reused!"

"So that's how it is..." Everyone agreed, "Let's just say that the kid has fierce eyes, and it makes people feel creepy..."

"Your Excellency also praised me for my good looks. On the one hand, I have big ears, nose, straight mouth and wide mouth, and the sky is full and the ground is round. At first glance, I am a loyal man!" Wang Zongqi was proud, "Don't be discouraged if you guys don't get promoted, get out of here. Just go back to your mother’s womb and reincarnate! Or you can learn from him and wash my stinky feet for a year, and I’ll go and speak kindly to the adults for you!”

Everyone smiled and toasted, and the hall burst into laughter.

Standing under the eaves at this time, I wanted to pull out the Xiuchun knife and enter the room, chop them one by one, and hack them all to death, but I didn't do that in the end.

I laughed, my face was reflected in the lotus vat on the porch, my facial features were twisted together with the cold moonlight, even I felt horrible when I saw it.

why am i laughing
Because the moment I put down the knife, I already knew that I was not the foolish boy I was back then.

Now I am like a poisonous scorpion dormant in the cold winter. When the time comes, the deadly stinger will naturally be exposed.

When I realized this, I was sure they were no match for me.

The opportunity really came quickly.

Not long after that, I received a very ordinary task to search a certain private house of Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu was an old man in the emperor's east palace, and he served the emperor since he was a child - of course he was still the prince at that time.

After the crown prince became a great treasure, the eunuch became the most trustworthy person around the little emperor. He was powerful for a while, as if he was a standing emperor. Even the commander of our Jinyiwei had to kneel and kowtow when he saw him. There are also constant offerings during the festivals.

But this guy made the silliest mistake ever.Originally, the emperor saw his every word and deed, but he just acquiesced, because the emperor needed a trustworthy person by his side.

If he honestly worked for the emperor, he would be fine no matter how much he searched for wealth and ruled out dissidents; but he was so greedy that he came up with the idea of ​​the dragon chair on the Golden Palace...

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang were evaluated by later generations, they were always as vigilant as their ancestors about one thing, which was treason.

The emperor was obsessed with Taoism and hadn't been in court for a long time, but he was really vigorous and resolute in setting up rebels. He immediately listed ten major crimes against eunuch Liu, not to mention the one of treason, and other crimes such as colluding with demons and Japanese pirates. Also set up.

The majestic Eunuch Liu ignited the tung oil poured on himself the moment Jin Yiwei knocked on the door, and reduced himself and his favorite concubines to ashes.

But the matter is far from over. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, the current emperor is also very good at catching "partners".

Some of these "partners" are worthy of the name, and some of them were added to the list by our Jin Yiwei. If we don't take out the thorn in our side and the thorn in our flesh at this time, when they turn over, we will become fish on the chopping board.

And every time we inspect a mansion, a huge sum of money will flow into the yamen, why not do it?

For a while, the fourteen guards of Jinyiwei were busy, the yamen was deserted, and the government and the public were full of turmoil.

Of course, what I was assigned to was the least lucrative place, a foreign house outside Ningbo city.

That port was originally an important place for sea traffic, but because of the sea ban, many people took risks to do some smuggling business.

Many of these smuggling giants took refuge in Eunuch Liu.

In order to please their master, they built a house in the local area that was comparable to a royal garden, and even equipped with a living shrine dedicated to the portrait of Eunuch Liu, but Eunuch Liu, who has been staying in the Forbidden City, has never lived here.

Before our team arrived, it had been emptied by fleeing servants, leaving us with only an empty house.

While the subordinates were counting the remaining property in the house, a carriage passing by the door caught my attention.

In the night, the carriage looked unusually large.

At that time, there were two types of carriages: cargo and people. The ones that carried people were usually called small carts, and the ones that carried goods were called large carts. However, this cart was twice as wide as the largest carriage I had ever seen.

The carriage was pulled by four tall and handsome black horses, and the huge carriage was covered with a green curtain, so it was impossible to see clearly what was inside.

And the person pulling the cart was also dressed in black, with a green veil covering his face, and four black horses followed behind the cart, and immediately they were all men in black in the same attire.

When the carriage passed by the main entrance of the house, the driver saw me and another brother standing at the entrance. He hesitated for a moment, then continued walking along the main road, followed by the four men in black.

Seeing them walking away, I whispered to my subordinates: "Hurry up and prepare the horses."

"What's the matter, my lord?" That brother is called Shi Heng, who is as powerless as I am, and is the most loyal lieutenant among my subordinates.

"That group of people were weird just now." I said, "I bet that special carriage was supposed to transport goods here! Also, have you noticed the four men in black following behind?" long package?"

"Yes! I can see that it is a weapon, but since it is an important cargo, there must be escorts to accompany it, so there is nothing special about it?" Shi Heng was puzzled.

"But which escort agency's escort dares to use the Japanese sword?" I said with a sneer.

Shi Heng was pointed out by me in one sentence. In the early years, the coastal provinces were flooded with Japanese pirates, and those Fusang rogues had all Japanese swords in their hands!

Later, if Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other anti-Japanese generals had not tried their best to turn the tide, these important coastal towns would have been deserted by now.

"My lord, should I inform the others?" Shi Heng went back and forth, hesitantly asked, "There are five of them."

"No! There are many people here who are the eyes and ears of Wang Zongqian who came in, and they will take the credit again." I made another plan in my mind, "Bring the three-eyed gun!"

"Your Excellency is really considerate!" Shi Heng happily went to prepare the horse.

The three-eyed blunderbuss is a weapon bought by Jin Yiwei from Liaodong iron cavalry. It is nearly four feet long and made of pure iron. It has three muzzles for shooting. After the bullets are fired, it can also be used as an iron lance. It is extremely powerful. The pinnacle representative of firearms.

With two guns, it is not difficult to fight two against five!
Tracking down and catching robbers is what Jin Yiwei is good at, and I let them go on purpose, so as not to startle them.

Sure enough, within four watch days, we both found them in a bamboo forest fifteen miles outside Ningbo City.

The horses were all unsaddled and put aside to graze.

The unusually large carriage was parked in a clearing in the bamboo forest, and five men in black were sitting around the fire to warm themselves.

They took off their bamboo hats, and four of the swordsmen were indeed Japanese warriors with their hair in a bun. The coachman looked like a Han, and he was speaking some Japanese that I couldn't understand, as if arguing about what to do next. look.

I winked at Shi Heng in the dark, telling him to act according to the plan, while I detoured to the flank of the man in black, took advantage of the night to hide in the weeds, pointed the gun at the position of the five people, and quietly walked from the arms. Flint was taken out of...

one two Three!

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the bamboo forest, and amidst the flames, three iron bullets flew out of my gun, knocking down two men in black with knives in an instant.

The horse was also startled, and rushed out of the forest neighing. Before the other men in black realized what had happened, they were about to pick up their knives and look for my direction when Shi Heng's gun rang out, and shot again from another direction. One fell.

In the clearing, only the coachman and another warrior with a shoulder wound were left.We both roared and jumped out of the grass at the same time, and the two Xiuchun knives slashed at the warrior together.

It's a pity that he was cut down without even pulling out the knife from the beginning to the end!
When the dead body fell to the ground, I was already in front of the driver who was about to flee, and I cut his ankle with a knife, cutting his hamstring, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Master, spare your life! Master, spare your life!" The coachman begged for mercy, clutching his wound.

"Say!" I pointed the knife at the tip of his nose, "Who are you and where are you from?"

"The younger one is Eunuch Liu's personal entourage. His old man sent me out of Beijing to pick up these Japanese people a few days ago. The younger one doesn't know what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds.

The boat encountered a strong wind at sea, and it was delayed for half a month. It just docked tonight. I wanted to go to the mansion of Eunuch Liu, but I didn't expect to meet the gentlemen of Jinyiwei. I knew that Eunuch Liu committed the crime. Case, then quickly escaped..."

The coachman said and took off his trousers, "If you don't believe me, take a look, the little one is really a eunuch, not a Japanese."

He knew he was a eunuch by his squeaky voice.

"What's in the car, why did the Japanese give it to Eunuch Liu?"

"I really don't know, I'm just on an errand. I have a letter from the Japanese here. You might as well read it." The little eunuch took out a jade box from his arms and held it on top of his head.

I took the jade box, and just about to tear off the seal on it, I thought about the fraud in it, so I handed it to Shi Heng.

Without thinking too much, Shi Heng tore off the seal and opened the jade box.

There is really no mechanism inside, just a letter, which Shi Heng read through by the light of the bonfire.

I can guess what was said in the letter. The Wa people have been coveting the Central Plains for a long time, and they want to use eunuch Liu as their internal response, and then they will divide the world equally, but what I am most interested in is the things in this car.

The letter said that the things here are the most precious treasures in the world, and they are related to major events that will disrupt China, so that eunuch Liu must not use them privately, and must put them by the emperor's side..."
