Jinyiwei set up a dragnet, and Tianlezhai had many spies, but Liu Qingfeng still came to Tianlezhai unnoticed. It was not until three days later that Jinyiwei got the news that Liu Qingfeng had come here, and openly brought him with him Green Girl visits Slender West Lake.

This is simply a great shame and humiliation. Jin Yiwei is spread all over the country. Regardless of the official lingo or folk slang, no matter how high the snow is in spring or the fireworks in Lower Liba, the news can be known quickly. Tianlezhai itself has specially arranged it, and there are tons of informants, but they don’t know. After hearing the news, Mou Bin was furious and ordered Liao Jianzhong to rush to Yangzhou to capture Liu Qingfeng and bring him to justice. Liu Qingfeng was also careless for a moment and was stunned by the girl Luyi. The two of them were in love with each other and exchanged music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They were about to leave, but the girl Luyi said that they could go to Slender West Lake for a visit, where the scenery is picturesque and you can drink and have fun. Poetry, Liu Qingfeng agreed and naturally stayed for one more day. After Liao Jianzhong arrived, the two sides held a stalemate by the Slender West Lake. Liu Qingfeng didn't take Jin Yiwei seriously at all, and still strolled on the long embankment. There were Jin Yiwei in front of him and behind him. But Miss Lu Yi had already turned pale with fright, and Liu Qingfeng gradually lost interest. It's March in spring, the peach blossoms are fragrant, and the willow silk is like smoke. Hua Shichun took Du Qi and together with the Yangzhou Prefecture police officers, they surrounded them, followed by Liao Jianzhong. When the two sides started fighting, they discovered that his two humble followers were actually first-rate masters.

The two followers were both thin men, each holding a weak sword, and killed many people. Liao Jianzhong did not pay attention to these two people, but directly rushed towards Liu Qingfeng.

Liu Qingfeng asked his name and said: "I know it was your plan, but it's useless to me. I dare to come to Yangzhou, and I can leave Yangzhou. You have been chasing me for many years, and today I am just playing with you."

He used a machete, while Liao Jianzhong also used a Xiuchundao. The two fought for more than fifty rounds, with neither winning nor losing. The other two followers also fought off many people. I saw a small boat coming up on the lake, which was to meet Liu Qingfeng.

Liao Jianzhong was anxious. He originally expected his troops to arrest the three men, but the Yangzhou Prefecture police officers were frightened by the two followers and hid and watched from a distance. Only Hua Shichun and Du Qi led the Jinyi guards from the capital to attack desperately. Now it seems that Liu Qingfeng is also prepared.

When Liu Qingfeng saw that the boat had arrived, he was about to leave. How could Liao Jianzhong let him go? Although he couldn't defeat him with martial arts, he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. He didn't want Liu Qingfeng to take out his gun. It was said to be a must-have item for the Shenji Camp, and the Jinyiwei adults also had it. But Liao Jianzhong did underestimate the other party, not to mention Liu Qingfeng was a pirate and got a blunderbuss from the Portuguese, which was very powerful. Liu Qingfeng aimed at Liao Jianzhong, but did not fire directly, but smiled and said: "I saw that you are also very capable. , I will definitely have a bright future in Jinyiwei in the future, I will let you go today, and I will also leave you with Miss Luyi, see you again in the future!"

Liao Jianzhong was quite helpless, but his subordinate Du Qi, who was dumbfounded, rushed over to block him. Liu Qingfeng returned with a knife and cut his arm. He jumped onto the boat lightly, and his men also fought off everyone and slowly approached the boat.

Liao Jianzhong was extremely remorseful. He saw that both of them were about to get on the boat. At this time, there was a burst of gunfire. It turned out that a Shenji battalion was coming. One of Liu Qingfeng's followers was injured and fell to the ground. The other one saw that the situation was not good and jumped on. On the boat, Liu Qingfeng saw that there were so many people on the other side, so he had to leave. Before leaving, he shouted: "Liao Jianzhong, you must treat my brother well. I will come again in the future."

Everyone watched helplessly as Liu Qingfeng drove away in a boat. Fortunately, he caught this follower. Under interrogation, he only said that his name was Yu Qi and did not answer any other questions.

Liao Jianzhong had no choice but to escort Yu Qi back to Beijing. In this battle, five or six Jinyi guards were injured, and many Yangzhou Prefecture police officers were killed or injured. The Yangzhou government had to report it, and the censors immediately impeached the imperial guards for not doing their job well and disturbing the local area. Although the Hongzhi Dynasty suppressed Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Emperor Hongzhi always valued Mou Bin, so the memorials of the censors were kept in the palace and were not distributed, and Jinyiwei was only asked to pay for the Yangzhou Prefecture police officers. At the same time, some members of Jinyiwei were always jealous of Liao Jianzhong being important and often said strange things in front of Mou Bin. Mou Bin knew that Liao Jianzhong tried his best, but he still had to deal with Liao Jianzhong and demoted him from the position of Qianhu to the general flag, temporarily losing power.

However, Liao Jianzhong was very popular. Zhang Yong, the eunuch in charge of Shenjiying, had always favored him, so he asked Mou Bin for mercy. Mou Bin was an upright man, but he also valued talents. After two months, he resumed his position as a thousand households. , let him continue to be responsible for capturing Liu Fengqing.

Liao Jianzhong asked people to take care of Yu Qi's injuries, and arranged a separate cell for him. He was given good food and drink, and he visited him often. Yu Qi actually felt at ease, eating well and sleeping well. Liao Jianzhong is also a good chess player, and he also likes to play chess. Therefore, many people often see two people playing chess across the fence. Sometimes, they would drink and eat together, chatting and laughing, but Liu Qingfeng was never mentioned.

In this way, five years passed in a flash.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that their purpose was to find Liu Qingfeng. This Liu Qingfeng is indeed amazing. Even though Liao Jianzhong imprisoned Yu Qi in the imperial edict, Liu Qingfeng could still send someone to deliver something, and it was fixed on August 15th. He could always see it at the gate of Zhenfusi early in the morning. The items, and the written receipts were left, were given to Yu Qi. What's more, in the past two years, they also brought a copy to Liao Jianzhong. Liao Jianzhong once deployed people to catch the person who sent the things, but the people saw it. One night, it was almost dawn, but no one was seen. When the people were exhausted, the gate of the Liubu Yamen opposite suddenly caught fire. Everyone couldn't help but look at it. The fire was neither big nor small, but it caused a lot of noise and chaos. After everyone watched for a long time, they suddenly woke up. When they turned around, two loads of items had already been placed at the door of the Zhenfu Division.

Therefore, Liu Qingfeng is like a thorn in Jin Yiwei's throat. No one can relax until he pulls it out. Liao Jianzhong, especially, is bound to win Liu Qingfeng. No matter where the end of the world is, he must be found. After thinking about it, Yu Qi was the only one who knew where Liu Qingfeng was hiding, so Liao Jianzhong was determined to pry Yu Qi's mouth open. There are many torture instruments in Jinyiwei. Most people come in and pass through several sets of torture instruments, and there is no one who fails to confess. However, Liao Jianzhong rarely used torture. Although he was imprisoned, the people he caught had solid evidence, and he dealt with the prisoners very simply. After listing the charges, he dealt with them directly. The most common saying of the Zhenfu Division: Don't be afraid of torture instruments, just be afraid of old Liao's black face.

Liao Jianzhong was unwilling to take action against Yu Qi. Yu Qi was a man of loyalty. He said that he was a fisherman, and his ancestors were military generals. He went on diplomatic missions to the West with Zheng He, the great eunuch of the Yongle period. It's a pity that he got sick halfway and was placed on the island of Java, where he married a wife and had children. After returning to his hometown a few years later, he found that the emperor had changed and Zheng He died on the last ship out to sea. The feat of sailing to the Western Ocean came to an abrupt end, and then the officials began to accuse the people and money of going to sea. Then the navigation charts were secretly collected and no longer published to the public. All those who went to sea were placed in various places, and even some were left out. When it comes to Yu Qi's generation, they are basically fishermen. His ancestor's experience of going to sea gave him more dreams. The charm of the sea lies in the endless temptation of wealth. Although Emperor Taizu strictly prohibited fishing at sea, he still secretly went out with a group of people. For this reason, the local government was ordered to pursue him. The laws of the Ming Dynasty were harsh and ruthless. Anyone who violated the ban on fishing at sea would be either exiled or beheaded. Yu Qi had the skills, so naturally he refused to be captured without mercy. He did not want to accidentally kill the captor who came to capture him, so he had to flee at sea. By chance, I met a pirate and Liu Qingfeng, and became his subordinate.

Liu Qingfeng treated Yu Qi very well, appreciating his courage and ability, and constantly rewarded him. Yu Qi felt that he had met a noble person, and he was happy to serve him, so he naturally became Liu Qingfeng's confidant. Liao Jianzhong saw through this and treated Yu Qi kindly because he expected that Liu Qingfeng would come to the rescue after learning that Yu Qi was still alive. He would never let anyone close to him die of old age in prison. This was the only way Liao Jianzhong could capture Liu Qingfeng. Method, he trusts his own judgment!
