Hangzhou's gentry, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy people are among the best in the world. The total amount of money stolen from the yard was probably sixty or seventy thousand.
Each brother can get three to four hundred taels.
No one spoke. No one reached out for the silver first.
Shi Wenyi said: "Brothers, one of the duties of our Jin Yiwei is to kill all those who collaborate with the enemy and treason."
"Although there is no commander Jun Ling for this secret mission, we are doing our job."
"You have all seen the tragic situation of the people along the coast being harmed by Japanese pirates. We are doing justice for God tonight!"
Chang Feng praised: "Well said!"
Shi Wenyi continued: "Originally, I shouldn't take money to do justice for heaven. But whoever doesn't take the money today will be suspected of being disloyal to Chang Qianhu."
After saying that, Shi Wenyi stretched out his hand and picked up a silver ingot: "I took it. Who else is willing to share this money with me?"
Speaking of this, the robes no longer hesitated. We happily share the money together.
Not long after, a pile of money was divided up.
Chang Feng warned everyone: "If anyone leaks what happened today, he will become a Jin Yiwei pretending to be a Japanese pirate and rob money."
"Everyone and I will lose our heads! Therefore, everyone must keep your mouth shut after returning to Beijing!"
Previously, Chang Feng asked Ma Youlu to confess where the family's money was hidden, in order to use the Ma family's money to silence the others.
Money can sometimes pry open other people's mouths, but it can also block other people's mouths.
It's finally dawn.
Chang Feng and Fatty Xu returned to the flower boat.
At the same time, the Zhejiang governor, feudal lords, governors, Dusi yamen, and the Hangzhou prefecture yamen turned into a mess!
Overnight, eight households of gentry and wealthy merchants in Hangzhou were massacred and their wealth was plundered. While the imperial envoy was stationed in Hangzhou, such a shocking case occurred. Is this really a big deal?
Governor Huang of Zhejiang led a group of officials to personally investigate the murder scene.
Fortunately, every household has people alive. When asked about the survivors, they all insisted that it was Japanese pirates.
Governor's Yamen, study room.
Governor Huang and Yang Dusi sat opposite each other with expressionless faces.
These two are both elders of the Four Seas Society.
Governor Huang suddenly dropped the teacup on his hand with a "crack".
He said angrily: "What a shameless person! Those Japanese pirates have taken so many benefits from our Four Seas Association, and they still want to kill our members and rob the Four Seas Association's money!"
Yang Dusi sighed: "Oh. I have said long ago that Japanese pirates are like beasts and cannot be trusted. Over the years, we have been fooling around with them and secretly suffered a lot from them."
Governor Huang said: "Tell our people. The Japanese pirates massacred eight households of our congregation. We have to kill eight hundred of them! Let them know that the Sihai Society is not easy to bully!"
When Governor Huang said "our people", he was referring to the fake Japanese.
Chang Feng successfully provoked an internal fight between the real Japanese and the fake Japanese!
Yang Dusi said: "The problem now is. The Japanese pirates entered Hangzhou City and slaughtered eight large households, all of which were famous local people. If the court knows about this, you and I will be punished."
Governor Huang said: "It is easy to make Zhejiang officials clean their mouths. The main reason is that the imperial envoys are in Hangzhou. If they report to the police,"
Yang Dusi said: "It doesn't matter. Among the imperial envoys, the one with the highest status is Eunuch Li Guang, the Supervisor of Ceremonies. He has received a lot of filial piety from us before."
"Just give him another sum and shut his mouth."
An hour later, the imperial envoy left.
Several imperial envoys sat across from each other and drank tea.
Li Guangdao: "Chang Qianhu, Prince Xu. You two are outrageous. You stayed on the flower boat for ten days at a time. Don't you know, a shocking murder occurred in Hangzhou!"
Chang Feng had a tired expression on his face and spoke weakly: "The West Lake Boat Lady is truly well-deserved. I feel like I have been digging a huge vegetable cellar every day for the past ten days."
"My legs are so exhausted. What did you just say? What shocking murder?"
Yang Tinghe interjected: "Japanese pirates entered Hangzhou last night. They slaughtered eight households of gentry and wealthy merchants and looted countless money."
Chang Feng was dumbfounded: "Impossible! Hangzhou has always been the seat of Zhejiang's administration, and the city's defenses are impregnable. How could the Japanese pirates get in?"
Fatty Xu looked on coldly and thought to himself: When did Chang Feng become so good at acting?
Yang Tinghe said meaningfully: "Yes. The Japanese pirates do have great magical powers."
At this moment, a message came through the door: "The governor of Zhejiang and the three ministers are asking for an audience."
Li Guangming said: "Let them come in."
Not long after, Governor Huang and four others came to the hall. When they saw several imperial envoys falling down, they knelt down and began to cry bitterly after kneeling down.
Li Guang's scalp was numb from the crying: "You have something to say, so stop crying!"
Governor Huang sucked back the snot from his nose and said, "Come on, please save the officials in Zhejiang."
Chang Feng said: "What's going on, please tell me slowly."
Governor Huang said: "You must have heard about the murder last night. If you report this to the emperor, I am afraid that both the lower officials and the Third Division of Zhejiang will be dismissed."
"Please consider that we have served the imperial court for many years and have worked hard without any merit. Please help us."
Chang Feng interjected: "I understand. You want to silence us, right?"
"Sealing it, hehe, you need to pay for sealing it."
Li Guang was stunned. He thought to himself: What a good Chang Feng. A few days ago, I pretended to be cool. Emotions are also greedy and lustful. To ask for a bribe so blatantly.
Governor Huang immediately expressed his position: "Although I and my colleagues in the Third Division are very poor, they can still spend ten thousand, ah no, twenty thousand taels of silver to honor you. Just treat it like Cheng Yi."
Chang Feng said straightforwardly: "Thirty thousand, fixed price. Twenty thousand of them will be given to Eunuch Li. The rest will be divided among us."
Li Guang felt happy: Hey, no wonder Chang Feng is favored. Really good at getting things done. You know that although I am just a deputy imperial envoy, I have the highest status. Gave me the bulk.
Among the six imperial envoys, Li Guang, Chang Feng, and Fatty Xu will conceal this murderous crime committed by "Japanese pirates" for the Zhejiang government.
Not to mention the two little brothers from the Zhang family, they are busy in the bedroom painting bastard pictures on Mei Jiao Niang’s face.
Now it all depends on the attitude of the imperial envoy Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe is very smart. He always felt that there was a connection between the spies caught in the Battle of Yongning, the "Four Seas Society" confessed by the spies, and the murders committed by Japanese pirates in Hangzhou.
But he would never cause trouble for himself. Things in the southeast are too complicated, and getting involved in them will set you on fire.
Yang Tinghe stood up: "I won't ask for any money."
Governor Huang and others' expressions changed.
Yang Tinghe added a few words, which made them heave a sigh of relief: "However, I have never heard of any murder that was not a murder. These days I have been busy competing with several poetry masters."
"They should be arriving in the back garden soon. Please forgive me for taking my leave first."
After speaking, Yang Tinghe strode away.
Li Guang smiled and said: "Our boss Yang is a man of noble character. He is not interested in money. I reluctantly accepted his share for him."
"We are just passing through Hangzhou. We don't know anything about the murders in Hangzhou, including murder and robbery."
Chang Feng echoed: "That's right. I don't know anything!"
How could I not know that the person was killed by Chang Feng!
