Fatty Xu and Chang Feng came to the "Tang" room on the second floor.

Sai Tanghong was singing in the hall before, but Chang Feng was in a hurry to find the fat man and did not look at her.

Chang Feng was a little curious about what the woman who controlled the number one thief sect in the capital looked like.

He pushed open the door.

I saw Sai Tanghong lying lazily on the bed, with her bellyband half-covered and her jade body lying on the side.

The beauty of a woman can only be divided into the following categories.

The beauty of dignity makes the country peaceful and the people peaceful.

Lovely beauty, baby face.

Coquettish beauty, charming face.

Saitanghong obviously belongs to the latter. She is a wonderful person who can make men feel impulsive just by looking at her appearance.

She is worthy of being a singer, and her voice was full of charm when she spoke: "Hey, let's come together. Okay, my man was robbed tonight, and I'm lonely."

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu walked to her bed.

Sai Tanghong glanced at the two of them and immediately stopped her flattery.

Her voice was almost a different person, without the frivolity before, and very calm: "Jin Yiwei? It seems that you are not looking for the leader tonight just for fun, but for serious business."

"I know this fat man, his surname is Xu, Xiaoqi from Jinyiwei, a regular customer of Yihong Mansion."

"What about you? I guess your rank is not high. You should be a small flag or a general flag. At most, you can only test a hundred households. Right?"

Chang Feng was stunned and confused: This woman actually called herself "my leader" in front of Jin Yiwei. Don't hide your identity at all.

Moreover, how does she know that we are not looking for fun with her tonight, but have serious business?

Chang Feng held up his hand and said, "Master Sai, please be polite. How could you guess my identity?"

"How do you know that we are here to see you and not to have fun?"

Sai Tanghong was half-lying on the couch again, and said clearly: "First, you have a scorpion crossbow tied around your waist."

"There are three major prohibitions in the Ming Dynasty, one is for armor, the other is for crossbows, and the third is for firearms."

"Only officers and soldiers, factory guards who specialize in secret errands, agents from the Ministry of Justice, and spies from Dali Temple can be equipped with crossbows.

"Among them, the small and sinister scorpion hand crossbow can only be worn by those in the factory guard."

"You are tall and handsome. I can smell your masculine scent as soon as I walk in. Obviously you are not an eunuch from the East Factory, so you must be a Jin Yiwei."

"Secondly, you are wearing boots, which means you are an official. It's a pity that you are just wearing leather boots."

"As far as I know, in the Jinyi Guards, the governor wears gold-threaded flying cloud boots; thousands and hundreds of households wear green cloud-rooted boots."

"Those who wear leather boots must be low-level flag officials or trial hundred households."

"Thirdly, how could anyone bring a vicious weapon like a scorpion crossbow to a brothel to play with women? You must have something serious to do when you come to my place."

Sai Tanghong could deduce his identity and purpose of coming here just by glancing at Chang Feng. His thoughtfulness is intimidating.

Chang Feng held up his hand: "Master Sai is really smart, I admire him! Chang Feng, the general banner of Fusi in Xiabei Town."

Sai Tanghong casually put on a tulle, got off the bed, and stood in front of Chang Feng.

She returned the gift with her hands raised: "Since you are here to do business, it means you have already found out my identity. I have nothing to hide."

"My Excellency, Sai Tanghong, the head of the Miaoshou Sect, you are polite."

Chang Feng was a little surprised: "It stands to reason that mice are afraid of cats and thieves are afraid of officials. This is natural."

"Why isn't Master Sai afraid of us at all?"

Sai Tanghong sat in front of the Eight Immortals table in the room and made an invitation gesture.

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu also sat down.

Sai Tanghong said: "I am not afraid of the Jin Yiwei because the Miaoshou Sect has never offended the government."

"The first rule of the Miaoshou Sect is not to be an enemy of the government. This is the secret of the Miaoshou Sect's existence for thirty years."

"My father was like this when he was the leader, and I was like this when I was the leader."

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "I disagree. Flying thieves and stealing are breaking Ming law. Breaking Ming law means being an enemy of the government."

Sai Tanghong argued: "Your Lord Shang of Dongchang is also involved in kidnapping meat tickets to extort ransom. Is he considered an enemy of the government?"

Chang Feng said perfunctorily: "It doesn't count. He is a government official himself. And the person he kidnapped was not an official, but a rich man."

Sai Tanghong said: "That's right. We only steal from rich households, and we are rich households who are unkind for the sake of wealth."

Fatty Xu felt a little anxious as he watched Chang Feng and Sai Tanghong cross paths. After all the back and forth between Yihong Tower and Princess Mansion, there was only an hour and a half left before daybreak.

Fatty Xu urged: "Master Chang, don't take off your pants and fart! Let's get down to business."

Chang Feng said: "Master Sai. Someone from your Miaoshou sect went to the criminal Cai Zhong's house tonight and stole a letter box protected by the Jin Yiwei."

Sai Tanghong's complexion changed: "It's either slander or misunderstanding! Impossible!"

"Why haven't the Jinyiwei caused trouble to the Miaoshou Sect these years? Because we never provoke the Jinyiwei! This is our rule of survival!"

"Does the Miaoshou Sect no longer want to exist? Are you so full that you are going to steal the things protected by the Jin Yiwei?"

Chang Feng told Sai Tanghong the details of the stolen letter box from Cai Mansion. Naturally, he did not mention the framed letter or the prince.

Then Chang Feng said: "The roof of the Cai Mansion is sixty steps away from the letter box in the courtyard. Who else can take the letter box from the air and steal it, besides the people from the Miaoshou Sect?"

"Did you lend the empty crossbow to outsiders?"

Sai Tanghong was surprised: "You actually know about Kongkong Crossbow?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Don't ask me how I know. I won't tell."

Sai Tanghong said: "There are only three empty crossbows in the world, and they are all in my hands. I will never lend them to outsiders. Mr. Chang Qi will wait a moment."

After saying that, Saitanghong took out an iron box from under the bed.

This iron box weighs at least a hundred kilograms. She was a weak woman with a willowy waist, but she was able to lift it out with one hand without any effort.

It seems that she must be a practicing practitioner.

Sai Tanghong opened the iron box. I saw two strange-shaped crossbows lying in the iron box.

As the old cripple said, there was a fishing reel on the crossbow, and a box hung behind it. The box and the crossbow arrows were both connected to the fishing line.

Chang Feng said: "Didn't you say there are only three handles? There are only two handles here."

Saitang frowned: "I gave the other one to another person. But that person... would never violate the rules of the sect and provoke the Jin Yiwei."

Chang Feng asked: "Who?"

Sai Tanghong said: "My senior brother, deputy head Shi Jian."

Chang Feng stared at Sai Tanghong. This woman's cooperation with him was beyond his expectation.

If the old cripple knew that the leader was so cooperative with Jin Yiwei, he probably wouldn't have to suffer the pain of those four bricks.

Could this cooperative attitude be just an act?

Saitanghong's fox eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

She said: "Mr. Chang Qi suspects that I am pretending to cooperate and deceiving you, right? Tell you, I don't dare!"

"No matter how famous the Miaoshou Sect is in the world, they are still just thieves!"

"The Imperial Guards are connected to the palace, and to the government offices all over the world. It's too easy to silence the Miaoshou Sect from the world."

"As I said just now, not provoking the Jin Yiwei is the survival rule of the Miaoshou Sect."

"Since you came to the door today, I will cooperate with you and find what you lost."

Chang Feng raised the first question in his mind: "You put something as important as the Kongkong Crossbow in the room where you receive guests?"

"What if the madam changes rooms for you?"

Sai Tanghong smiled slightly: "Madam? She doesn't dare to change my room. Because I am the owner of Yihong Building!"

Sai Tanghong is a shrewd leader. Three years ago, she bought the entire property of Yihong Building and became the boss behind it.

Places like Yihong Building are full of talkative people. It is best for inquiring about information, such as which wealthy family is unkind. What valuable treasures do rich people have in their homes?

Chang Feng raised a second question: "You are both the head of Miaoshou Sect and the owner of Yihong Building. Why do you still have to accept guests and endure humiliation?"

Sai Tanghong's answer was far beyond Chang Feng's understanding.

She said loudly: "In the eyes of others, it is a man who spends money to play with me."

"In my opinion, it's a man spending money to be played with by me!"

"My physique is different from ordinary people. Except for menstruation, I can't live without a man for a day."

"It feels good and you can make money, so why not do it?"

Chang Feng sighed in his heart: Sai Tanghong is such a bold and unrestrained woman! There is a legacy of the Tang Dynasty.
