Fatty Xu thought Chang Feng was here to have fun.
In fact, Chang Feng came to him to share life and death together.
Chang Feng said: "Something big happened, fat man. Quickly put on your shoes, let's go out and talk."
Fatty Xu knew his partner, Chang Feng, who had always been serious about words. It's a big deal, it's definitely not a joke.
Fatty Xu pushed away Aunt Datong beside him.
Datong's mother-in-law persuaded her to stay: "Oh, Mr. Xu, let's go just now. We haven't practiced the 18-way leg kick as promised."
Fatty Xu took out a broken piece of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table: "We will practice again next time."
Chang Feng changed shoes with Fatty Xu and came out of Yihong Building to a secluded place. Hu Zi, who understands human nature, immediately followed.
Chang Feng took a deep breath: "Fat man, I may drag you into a life-threatening trouble tonight."
He told Fatty Xu the whole story of the incident.
Chang Feng asked Fatty Xu to participate in this matter just to let him serve as circumstantial evidence. There is nothing to hide from him.
Fatty Xu was stunned at first: "What a fucking mess. The governor and the commander actually dared to frame the prince."
"Zhu Ji, who eats shit, is actually the prince's man."
Chang Feng said: "Fat man, do you want to find the letter box with me? Prince Bao, you have to think carefully."
"If you don't want to, I won't blame you. The water is too deep and people will drown."
Fatty Xu said without hesitation: "No need to think about it! I'll do it with you!"
"Not only for our brotherhood. But also for myself."
"After all, I am a direct descendant of Xu Da. But now I am reduced to being a biting dog in the Jinyi Guards, listening to the orders of a group of useless eunuchs."
"I always think that I have to do something in my life that makes me look up to myself!"
"Back then, my ancestor protected Emperor Taizu Gao. Today, let me, the fifth-generation grandson of King Zhongshan, protect the crown prince of the Zhu Ming royal family!"
Fatty Xu has an upright heart in his fat body.
Chang Feng patted Fatty Xu on the shoulder: "Okay! We still have three hours and five quarters to find the letter box."
Fatty Xu asked: "Where to start? The Miaoshou Sect is a group of ghosts who come and go without a trace. Even we Jin Yiwei can't know their details."
Chang Feng said: "Let's go to Xiangxi Lane and find Miss Jiu."
Jiu Miss, the largest second-hand goods dealer in the entire south of the city.
This woman is in her early twenties. She looks like a fairy from a painting. She is both ugly and ugly.
Chang Feng ransacked her house and found her the miscellaneous items from the sinner's residence, which she exchanged for money and distributed to her brothers.
Since ancient times, collecting old goods has inevitably resulted in some stolen goods from dirty sources.
Another identity of Miss Jiu is that she is the largest stolen goods broker in the capital. He has a close relationship with snitches and pickpockets inside and outside Beijing.
During the day, Miss Jiu does a serious second-hand goods business.
At night, she collected stolen goods from thieves in the Xiangxi Lane under her control.
Miss Jiu is a standard Tujia girl in western Hunan, with a fierce and bold personality. She is very popular in the capital.
Whether it was the spies of the Ministry of Justice, the agents of Shuntian Prefecture, the commanders of the Military and Horse Division, or even the bannermen of the Imperial Guard like Chang Feng, they all had to give her a bit of a thumbs-down.
Chang Feng guessed that Miss Ninth might have helped the Miaoshou Sect and knew how to find the people of the Miaoshou Sect.
The two entered Xiangxi Lane.
The so-called Xiangxi Lane is a narrow alley five feet long. About half a mile long. This is the territory of the Tujia people in western Hunan.
In the 14th year of Orthodoxy, the battle to defend Beijing. Yu Qian, the Minister of War, once ordered all provinces to send out troops from King Qin.
Huguang Dusi not only dispatched five thousand guardsmen, but also dispatched forty fierce Tujia warriors.
By the time they arrived, the daylilies were cold. The battle to defend the capital has ended.
Five thousand Huguang Guard troops left Beijing and headed south, returning to their base.
The forty Tujia warriors did not belong to the guard army establishment, and the Ministry of War did not provide them with military rations or pay for their return trip. In anger, they simply stayed in the capital.
More than forty years have passed. Xiangxi Lane became the gathering place for the descendants of those Tujia warriors.
As soon as Chang Feng and Fatty Xu entered Xiangxi Alley, in the darkness, two Tujia daggers with cold light were placed across their necks.
The swordsman asked in authentic Xiangxi dialect: "What are you going to do?"
Chang Feng said: "Jin Yiwei Chang Feng comes to see Miss Ninth."
The swordsman seemed to be very familiar with Chang Feng: "Ah. It's Mr. Chang. It's dark and you're wearing plain clothes. I didn't recognize you, sorry for my blindness."
The swordsman put away the knife and led Chang Feng to a courtyard gate in the middle of the alley.
Chang Feng was about to take a step inside.
The swordsman was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Chang, Miss Ninth is negotiating the price with the owner of the goods. According to the rules... the owners of the goods cannot meet each other."
Fatty Xu was furious at the side: "We have urgent matters! Do you dare to stop the Jin Yiwei?"
Chang Feng interrupted Fatty Xu: "When you are in the countryside, do as the Romans do. Let's give Miss Ninth some face. Wait for a stick of incense."
Turning around, he said to the swordsman again: "After a stick of incense, we can only force our way in. I really have something urgent to do with her."
Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, the owner of the cargo walked out of the door and passed by Chang Feng.
Changfeng smelled a strong earthy smell on the man.
Seeing that the owner of the goods was gone, the swordsman made a "please" gesture.
Chang Feng led Hu Zi and entered the courtyard gate with Fatty Xu. The two of them entered the east wing of the small courtyard.
Behind a table in the wing, Miss Ninth was sitting. This girl is simply a fairy.
On the table, there were several bronze utensils, which looked like they had just been dug out of the soil. The smell was exactly the same as the earthy smell of the cargo owner.
Chang Feng was very familiar with Miss Ninth and sat down opposite her without any courtesy: "Why, you've even started to accept the thieves who stole graves and dug up graves?"
Ninth Girl smiled brightly, her voice was like a silver bell: "Hey, my Brother Chang, you are receiving official salary and don't know the sufferings of low-class people like us."
"More than a hundred tribesmen are eating at A-mei. Naturally, I accept whatever goods I have, as long as I can make money."
Although Miss Jiu is two years older than Chang Feng, she still calls him brother and sister, which seems very ambiguous.
Chang Feng asked: "Aren't you afraid that the government will come to your door?"
Miss Ninth smiled slightly: "The government is here. Brother Chang, please protect me!"
"Why did you come to see me at night today? Have you figured it out? I told you a long time ago, whether you want me to be your guest or your beard painter, I won't give a shit."
"Tangke" means wife in Xiangxi dialect; "drawing beard" means concubine.
Chang Feng said seriously: "Don't be joking. I'm in big trouble. I need your help."
Under the seemingly fierce appearance of Miss Ninth, she actually has a cunning and cunning man. Otherwise, she would not have become the biggest selling broker in the entire capital.
She asked tentatively: "Brother Chang is joking. You are wearing the tiger skin of Jinyiwei, how can you be in trouble?"
Chang Feng turned around and told Fatty Xu: "Take Huzi and wait for me in the courtyard first."
Miss Ninth also ordered the swordsman who followed in: "Go down first."
After a while, only Miss Jiu and Chang Feng were left in the east wing.
Chang Feng asked bluntly: "Have you collected the goods from Miaoshoumen?"
Miss Jiu smiled and said, "Oh, my Brother Chang. You should know the rules of this business, A-Mei."
"Even if you put a knife to my neck, I won't say anything."
Chang Feng directly picked up the scorpion crossbow given to him by Zhu Ji and pointed it at Miss Jiu.
