Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 200 Deception
Under the bluestone slabs of Zhou's house, there is a hidden secret room.He Liu can now confirm that Zhou Yi, the head of the Qianmen, cheated his death.

He Liu said to Lao Hu: "The bluestone slab fits perfectly. It can't be pried open with a Xiuchun knife. There should be a mechanism in the hall. Let's look for it."

The two searched, but found no mechanism.

When he was at his wit's end, He Liu suddenly asked Lao Hu, "Where did Eleven drop the yin-yang basin at noon today?"

Old Hu pointed to the ground in front of him: "It seems to have fallen here."

He Liu walked to the place pointed by Lao Hu, bent down, and searched carefully.The floor of this piece is not bluestone slabs, but blue bricks.

He Liu pressed down hard on a green brick.

"Boom!" On the ground where the coffin was parked during the day, two large bluestone slabs split left and right, and a tunnel entrance suddenly appeared.The entrance is four feet square, allowing one person to enter and exit.

He Liu asked Lao Hu, "Have you brought a pistol?"

Lao Hu nodded, took out a pistol from his pocket, and handed it to He Liu.He himself took out three throwing knives, one in each hand and one in his mouth.

He Liu glanced at Lao Hu: "You look like you are practicing hand-holding at a street stall on a flyover."

He Liu wiped the fire zip, and the two of them descended into the tunnel one after the other with the help of the fire zip.

The tunnel gets wider as you go forward.They came to a secret room.In the secret room, piles of silver ingots were neatly stacked.He Liu was the family confiscator of Jin Yiwei, he knew the number of silver ingots by heart, he thought to himself: These dozens of piles of silver are worth 50 million taels.

Going forward, there is another secret room.A lantern was lit in the chamber.Under the lantern, Li Zipian, the eleventh member of Jinyiwei, was drinking with an eighty-year-old man with a white beard.

Hearing a noise outside, Li Zipian opened the fire door of a long firecracker: "Who!"

"Old Eleven, me, your sixth brother. Don't point that thing at me, be careful if you go off, your sixth sister-in-law will become a widow!" He Liu said to Li Zipian.

He Liu put out the fire Zhezi, and Lao Hu also put away his knife.The two walked up to Li Zipian and the old man with white beard.

He Liu cupped his hands and said, "You are the old man Zhou Zhou, aren't you?"

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "You are He Liu? I knew that you can't be fooled by the trick of feigning death. You can definitely find me."

Lao Hu asked from the side: "Brother Zhou, since you know that you can't cheat our sixth son by cheating death, why do you still do this?"

Zhou Yi said: "Oh, I didn't do this to deceive He Liu, but to deceive Yan Shifan!"

Lao Hu picked up the jug on the table and sniffed it: "The best girl is red. Let me tell you, Eleventh, since I'm here with your Sixth Brother, you must give us a drink, right? We were in Zhou Lao just now. After digging my grave for a long time, my mouth is dry from exhaustion."

Li Zipian moved two stools for He Liu and Lao Hu, and found two wine cups.

He Liu took out the dispatch warrant from his pocket, put it on the table, and asked Zhou Yi: "Old man, is this a fake made by you?"

Zhou Yi handed it happily, and directly admitted: "That's right. It's my forged troop transfer order!"

Old Hu said: "My old brother Zhou. Do you know that you have faked your whole life, at most harming those rich and heartless local rich people. But the fake you made this time can kill my crown prince of Ming Dynasty , and a large number of honest and good officials!"

Zhou Yishou smiled: "I know, so I left the clue of Songyan Gumo on the troop dispatch warrant. I'm just waiting for He Liuye and Hu Sanye to come to my door! 20 days ago, Xiaoge old Yan Shifan He found me, gave me 20 taels of silver, and asked me to forge a military dispatch warrant in imitation of Prince Yu's handwriting. If I don't agree to him, I will be chopped into meat paste by the secret agents of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Under the circumstances, I had no choice but to agree. I helped him make a fake."

Old Hu said: "According to Yan Shifan's temperament, you did this for him, why didn't he silence you?"

Zhou Yishu said: "Because I threatened Yan Shifan. I told Yan Shifan that before coming to Yan's Mansion, I had already informed my apprentice—the Eleventh of your Jinyiwei. If I can't get out of Yan's Mansion alive, my apprentice will use Jinyi Taibao Specialize in the power of the secret performance, and tell the emperor that Yan Song asked the old head of Qianmen in the capital to make something fake. Yan Shifan didn't want to make trouble, so he could only let me go after I made the fake."

Li Zipian then said: "In fact, cheating death is an introductory skill of liars. When I first worshiped under the master, I practiced breath-holding in the water every day. Coupled with our special 'breath-holding and concentrating' pills made by Qianmen, even old Twelve, Zhao Ci couldn't find out that the master was cheating his death."

He Liu asked: "Are you afraid that after the Yan Party overthrows the Yuwang Party, you will free up your hands to settle accounts with Senior Zhou and kill him to silence him, so you fake your death?"

Li Zipian nodded: "Exactly."

Zhou Yi handed his apprentice Li Zipian: "Apprentice, go, bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I will write a confession for you to congratulate Liu Ye."

Zhou Yi finished writing the confession by hand, and said: "Okay, the confession is finished. Frame the crown prince is a felony for punishing the nine clans. If you want to kill or cut, it's all up to you, He Liuye."

He Liudao: "I can't decide whether to kill you or not. It's up to the emperor to decide. But I don't understand. You know that if you let me find you, you will commit the felony of framing the crown prince. Why do you want to tamper with the troop dispatch order?" Leave a clue for me? Take Yan Song's money, then feign death, go far away and fly to Jiangnan or other places to become a rich man, and end your life. Isn't this much better than the result of being punished by the nine clans?"

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "People in the world think that I, Qianmen, are a group of liars who will do anything for money. In fact, it is not. There are eight lies in Qianmen. Eight don't lie, just say it. I don't lie to the elderly, I don't lie to scholars, and I don't lie to loyal ministers and good generals. ... This is the rule passed down from the ancestors! Do you know who our ancestors are? It is Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister of the Shu Han!"

He Liu was surprised and said, "Zhuge Liang? The patriarch of Qianmen?"

Zhou Yi nodded with his hand: "Thousands of people are divided into three types: deceit, thousand ways, and deceitful ways. Cheaters are just small market swindlers who deceive people and money for food and drink. Thousands of people are cheating the rich and helping the poor. Loyal and loyal people. Deceitful people can deceive the enemy's captive chieftains, corrupt officials in the court, and princes who separatist one side to harm the people. Our patriarch is a man of deceitful ways. He helped King Jing of Zhongshan Afterwards, Liu Xuande cheated out of a kingdom of Shu."

Old Hu smiled and asked: "Brother Zhou, what kind of person are you? A liar? A thousand Taoist? A trickster?"

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "There is only one cunning Taoist in hundreds of years. I can be regarded as a thousand Taoist at most. Yan Song is a traitor, and Prince Yu is a loyal minister. I have lived for 80 years. How can I not know who is loyal and who is traitor? How can I help the tyrant to do evil and let the dark Ming court lose its last hope?"

He Liu said to Zhou Yishou: "You live in this secret room first. I will present your confession to the emperor. As for how to deal with you, it depends on the emperor's will."
