After sending Liu Waizui away, Fan Jinshan praised Shanfeng endlessly.
Fan Jinshan: "Major General, you are really amazing. You saved a life with just a few words. You are really amazing. And today we are doing harm to the people. I have wanted to deal with these evil people for a long time. Your wrist is even tougher than Master's."
Shan Feng chuckled: "Senior Brother Jinshan, the people who buy and sell people and sell cigarettes in this city have nothing to do with our Taihang. I will deal with them, and Senior Uncle Tian'en won't say anything when he comes back, right?"
Jin Shan quickly said: "Major General, what are you talking about? How could we have any connection with their group of people? We are not from the same group at all. I have wanted to deal with those guys for a long time, but during the Qing Dynasty Their power is not small, and later in the Republic of China, they flattered the warlords, so they have been kept until now. Today, since the major general has spoken, no one from this group will be left. Where is Liu Waizui, I will check it, don't worry. "
Shan Feng: "Okay, I'll be relieved if you go and check. Also, be sure not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Remember to let me know when to take action."
Jin Shan said: "Okay, okay, okay, Lao Er and I will go over now. When we start taking action later, I will give you a call. Just listen to me at home."
Shanfeng: "Okay, be careful in everything."
In the next few days, there was a turmoil in the city. Several families engaged in human trafficking and cigarette trafficking were uprooted and imprisoned in accordance with the law. All their property was confiscated. At the same time, the people were exempted from some of the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The people immediately clapped their hands and applauded, Liu Waizui I also got a lot of gold and silver. This time I was so happy that I smiled crookedly.
On this day, in Shanfeng's living room, Liu Waizui brought a large box of gold and silver jewelry and a large box of silver coins to express his gratitude to me.
Liu Waizui: "Last time, with the permission of the Major General, I ransacked 9 houses in the city and recovered countless gold and silver, which is equivalent to no less than 1.5 million silver dollars. This time the collection of military pay was finally completed. In addition, regarding the exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes imposed on the people, I have canceled them all. This time, I really want to thank you, General. This is a small kindness, please accept it."
Shan Feng chuckled: "Old Liu, don't always choose your words. How did I hear that a dangerous person escaped?"
Liu Waizui suddenly felt embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, Major General. When I copied Qian Wen, I didn't expect that Qian Wen was very good at lightness. I had dozens of rifles under my command and fired at the same time, but I still let him run away. Later, this guy , and assassinated me twice in a row. If the Jinshan brothers hadn’t saved my life, my old Liu’s life would have been taken care of long ago.”
Shan Feng: "Who is this Qian Wen? I have never heard that he knows any martial arts before? Brother Jinshan, have you heard of him?"
Jinshan said: "This Qian Wen did business on the southeast coast in his early years. After he got rich, he returned to the north and has been engaged in opium smuggling. If this guy learned martial arts, he must have learned it in the south. Otherwise, we would not have known about it. "
Shanfeng: "How is Qian Wen's martial arts? How about senior brother Jinshan?"
Jinshan chuckled: "I fought with him twice. This Qian Wen's martial arts is not bad. However, compared with me, there is still a certain gap. He escaped twice before because he was very good at light kung fu. It's a shame to say that I couldn't catch up with him. Apart from Qinggong, his other skills are just ordinary."
Shan Feng nodded: "You have to be smart when dealing with Qian Wen. His Qing Gong is so good that brute force alone is useless, and he has been frightened many times, so he will definitely be more careful. You have to find a way to set up a trap. You guys Tell me what Qian Wen likes?"
Liu Waizui said: "This guy is a big cigarette dealer. He not only sells cigarettes, he also likes to smoke cigarettes. In addition, this guy just likes to listen to dramas!"
Shan Feng's expression changed: "Do you like to listen to operas? How much do you like them? Whose opera do you like to listen to?"
Liu Waizui: "This..."
Jinshan: "I know this. Qian Wen likes to listen to The Story of the Golden Hairpin. I asked about Qian Wen's family yesterday."
Shanfeng: "The Story of the Golden Hairpin, is it a famous drama from Chaozhou, Guangdong? Is there a troupe in our city who can sing it?"
At this time, Liu Waizui said happily: "Recently, a Guangdong opera troupe came to the capital, and they just performed for Marshal Yuan a few days ago. I think they will definitely sing The Story of the Golden Hairpin. In this case, I will send a telegram to Marshal, Let's borrow the troupe and stage a performance of The Golden Hairpin in Dongsan City, and then let Qian Wen catch a turtle in an urn. What do you think?"
Jinshan was overjoyed: "Not bad! This is good!"
Shan Feng also laughed loudly: "Okay, Lao Liu, you make arrangements, and then we can all go over and listen to the show together!"
In the autumn of 1913, Shanfeng listened to a play of "The Story of the Golden Hairpin" in the city. The story of "The Story of the Golden Hairpin" was really good, which shocked Shanfeng greatly. At the same time, Shanfeng also understood why Qian Wen liked this play, because he himself was simply a replica of Liu Wenlong. The difference is that Liu Wenlong is a serious scholar and a serious hero, while Qian Wen is a cigarette dealer and a bad guy with a bad record. The two are not the same.
In the end, Jinshan and the others found Qian Wen in the crowd, crying profusely. Then several soldiers rushed forward and held him down, and then he was immediately pulled to the street and shot.
Qian Wen listened to the story of The Golden Hairpin before he died, so it was probably a good journey.
After these things, things in the city were basically under control. After a few days, Shanfeng took Dalong Dabiao and the others back to the mountain.
After returning to the mountain and entering the door, he reported to the master: "Master, I have helped Yuan Datou when I came down the mountain this time."
Li Tianji was stunned for a moment: "What's going on?"
So Shanfeng reported everything he did down the mountain to his master.
Li Tianji didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "This Liu Waizui is really ruthless! He killed the evildoers and saved the people. That's okay. But, we just sent military pay to the southern warlords, and now you are raising military pay for Yuan Datou. This matter has become a dead end. Let’s put this aside for now. Shanfeng, Master just disappeared and said that someone was wandering around the Taihang Mountains, surveying and mapping the topography of the Taihang Mountains. This is very strange. "
Shan Feng was shocked: "There is such a thing. Is there any specific news?"
Li Tianji said solemnly: "Our Taihang Mountain is a treasure mountain in Shanxi, Hebei and Henan. It has always been an important military location. Recently, mountain people have been passing on news to us, saying that we can often see several foreigners holding notebooks and walking in the mountains." I write and draw in this mountain, and it is said that there are even cameras. They are going all the way from the south to the north, I am afraid they have some conspiracy."
Historically before military wars, hostile countries would send spies to each other to steal or peek at the enemy's intelligence and detailed military maps.
Since modern times, due to the development of surveying technology, some foreign powers have continuously sent spies to China to secretly conduct landform mapping, measure land, count village population and water sources, draw roads and river maps, etc.
This statistical information is an important basis for the great powers to formulate plans to invade China, and it is also an important operational map prepared for the invading army.
Shan Feng suddenly became angry: "These robbers deserve to be killed, Master, these should be high-precision military maps prepared by the great powers in order to invade our country in the future. If they have these maps, we will be very passive." .I will take people to clean them all up."
Li Tianji nodded: "That's right! These powerful monsters have invaded my Chinese heart forever! Disciple, when you go down the mountain this time, in addition to destroying their mission, you must also find out who is behind this. Who are these people? And what forces are there to support and protect them in our Taihang Mountains? We need to find out who is seeking refuge with the foreign powers and becoming traitors? Find these worms and clean them all out!"
Shanfeng: "Master, if someone is really found to have defected to the great powers and become a traitor, how should we deal with it specifically?"
Li Tianji chuckled: "Decapitate your family with a thousand cuts, confiscate your family and exterminate your clan. Hehe, apprentice, master knows that you are kind-hearted, but now we have warlords confronting each other in the Republic of China, and foreign powers are watching. The people are in dire straits, and the destiny of the country is precarious; in this kind of situation When it comes to national justice, you must never be merciful. Don't let any of these traitors go!"
Shan Feng solemnly promised: "Master, I have kept everything you said today in mind. I will definitely do what you said in the future! There will be absolutely no mistakes! Then I will do it now?"
Li Tianji stopped Shan Feng and said, "Apprentice, you have just come back. Don't be in a hurry. Besides, the spy won't run away for a while. Let's eat first and wait until you come back down the mountain tomorrow."
Shan Feng: "Okay, I haven't seen Cai'er for a long time since I came back. I'll go to the kitchen to see if Cai'er has cooked."
Shan Feng walked to the kitchen and saw Xiao Hua and Cai'er busy cooking.
Shan Feng: "Cai'er, why are you cooking by yourself again? Isn't there a chef at home? Where is Sanniang?"
Cai'er said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are back. Of course I will cook for you myself. Sanniang took people down the mountain to do shopping. She should not be back until the afternoon."
Shanfeng chuckled: "Cai'er, this time when we go down the mountain, someone in Dongsan City gave us a big house. It's nice inside. I'll take you and Master to enjoy it later."
Then Shanfeng took out the title deed of the house from his arms, showed it to Cai'er, and gave it to her for safekeeping. Cai'er took the land deed, looked through it briefly, and then put it away.
Cai'er: "Two days ago, someone on the mountain was talking nonsense, saying that my senior brother got a big house at the bottom of the mountain. Senior brother, are you unhappy living in the mountain? What kind of big house did you live at the bottom of the mountain? They also said , The big girls in the city are so beautiful. Is this a problem? Senior brother?"
Shan Feng's heart skipped a beat: "Cai'er, Senior Brother came down the mountain this time to do some serious business. I got a house this time, and it was completely given to me. Besides, don't you know what Senior Brother is like? Don't listen to their nonsense. .Which arrogant guy said that? I will teach him a lesson later."
Cai'er chuckled: "The food is ready, Xiaohua will bring it to eat."
