Emperor Hongzhi ordered Chang Feng to temporarily take over the duties of Nanzhen's envoy. This was not a wise decree.
In the past two years, Chang Feng has been able to handle every errand assigned to Chang Feng by Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi believed that Chang Feng could manage the enemy's affairs well.
However, Emperor Hongzhi forgot that Han Yu said that "skills have specializations."
Chang Feng has no experience in operating an intelligence network. What's more... the whereabouts of the hidden list are now unknown, and the entire intelligence network is still unknown.
Qian Neng smiled and said: "Congratulations to Chang Qianhu. The military situation in Datong is urgent. If you can make a contribution, the word "temporary generation" will definitely be crossed out by the emperor."
"At that time, you will be a serious envoy of Nanzhen and a fourth-rank military attaché of the imperial court!"
Chang Feng was not happy at all. The most important thing for a person is to have self-awareness. He knows how much he weighs.
If we talk about confiscation of homes. But in two capitals and thirteen provinces, he is often ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first.
If we talk about capturing the enemy's country for detailed operations and spying on the enemy's intelligence. He just has a white neck and a black eye.
If Emperor Hongzhi asked him to go to Nanzhen Fusi to become a thousand households. With a master to guide him and study for three or two years, maybe he can have the ability to stand alone.
But let him temporarily act as the envoy of Nanzhen? Disaster! too difficult!
Zhu Ji also saw it this way. He raised an objection: "Mr. Qian, Chang Feng has never worked for Nan Company and has no understanding of any affairs of Nan Company..."
Qian Neng's godson was promoted to four levels in a row thanks to Chang Feng. Qian Neng naturally spoke to Chang Feng: "Commander Zhu made this statement wrong. Chang Qianhu is smart and capable, and can handle everything he is responsible for clearly."
"Besides, this is the emperor's decree. Does Commander Zhu have any objections to the imperial decree?"
Zhu Ji quickly said: "That's not what I meant."
Qian Neng said: "That's all. I'll go back to the Chief of Ceremonies first."
After the money was gone, Zhu Ji asked Chang Feng: "What can you do?"
Chang Feng told the truth: "I have no confidence in my heart."
Zhu Ji said: "Let's do this. Although it is urgent to search for the list of hidden stakes, it will not take more than an hour or two. You go back to Weili first and meet with the thousands and hundreds of households in Nansi."
Chang Feng asked: "Where is the inspection center?"
Zhu Ji thought for a while and replied: "The Qianhu Office will be handed over to Sun Luan first."
Fatty Xu said from the side: "Commander, Master Chang and I are little grasshoppers tied on a rope. When he goes to Nansi, I will follow him and help him."
Zhu Ji nodded: "Yes. You two have been together for five years and work well together. You can be transferred to Nansi as Deputy Qianhu."
Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei and summoned three thousand households and thirty hundred households in the Fushi duty room in Nanzhen.
The three major households in Fusi, Nanzhen are the Black Maitreya, the Old Shou Xing, and the Xiao Guo Shou.
Black Maitreya's real name is Zhao Xiangfo. It's as raw as black coal. Eighteen years ago, he used his identity as a lama in the Uzang Snow Mountain to collect intelligence. Hence the name Black Maitreya.
The old longevity star’s real name is Sun Guishou. The oldest among the entire Jinyiwei. A full seventy-nine years old. In the last years of Yongle's reign, he played for Jinyiwei. It has experienced the rule of Renxuan, the changes of Tumu Fort, and the changes of Suimen. He is a serious veteran of the Seven Dynasties.
He joined the imperial guard at the age of sixteen and has been responsible for tracking down the enemy's detailed operations in the capital for sixty-three years.
This man has fair hair and a boyish face, and is full of energy. In his own words: "It won't be a problem to eat roast duck for another ten to eight years."
Wang Miaoxin, a small country player. He is only twenty-seven years old, but he is a leader in the game world in Beijing.
Handan Chun from the Wei Dynasty classified Go players into the ninth level in the Book of Arts.
The first level is ecstasy, the second level is sitting still, the third level is concrete, the fourth level is secluded, the fifth level is wisdom, the sixth level is exquisite, the seventh level is fighting strength, the eighth level is foolish, and the ninth level is clumsy.
Wang Miaoxin is recognized as a fourth-level Netherland Realm in the Yi community in the capital.
Those who are above the sixth level Xiaoqiao realm can be called a national player. In the past twenty years, there have only been seven national players in the world who have been able to reach the fourth level of Netherworld Realm.
From the first to the third level, it takes decades or hundreds of years for one to appear.
People who are good at chess usually
very smart. Wang Miaoxin is good at calculation and layout.
I heard that Chang Feng temporarily took over the power of governor of Nanzhen. The Three Thousand Households all disagreed.
Black Maitreya Zhao Xiangfo said: "Collecting intelligence, arresting spies, dispatching hidden stakes and ransacking homes are two different things. Chang Qianhu just joined this path and took charge of the entire Nansi. I'm afraid..."
Chang Feng only took over the power temporarily and did not officially take over the seal of Nanzhen's envoy. Therefore, Zhao Xiangfo still called him "Qianhu".
Sun Guishou echoed: "Yes. Chang Qianhu, you and I usually have a good relationship. You even bought me a drink. But you are in charge of Nansi, so you can compete."
Chang Feng asked: "Oh? What comparison?"
Sun Guishou sighed: "Oh, it's like a little house sparrow flying into a flock of wild geese - it can't keep up!"
Wang Miaoxin also said: "That's right. Mr. Liao died an untimely death. Our Nan Division seems to have lost its backbone. You come to take charge of the Nan Division... I hope you will make less mistakes and have good skills!"
These three people have no ill intentions towards Chang Feng. On weekdays, Chang Feng gets along well with the seven thousand households in the Southern and Northern Divisions.
In fact, Emperor Hongzhi's will was not very wise. They are not picky about Chang Feng's behavior. I just have doubts about Chang Feng's ability.
Chang Feng sighed: "Alas. How could I not know that I have a black eye in Nansi? This is the emperor's decree, and I can't resist it."
"I can only push the boat in the cesspit - the excrement surges forward bravely!"
"What do the three seniors think of the current situation?"
Sun Guishou said: "The situation in Daqi is critical. The soldiers at the front are looking forward to information about the Tatar army like they look forward to Yunni during a severe drought."
"However, Master Liao was assassinated. The list of hidden stakes in his hand disappeared. We can't contact the hidden stakes in the Tatar army at all."
"Besides, the Tatar army may send fake secret agents to give us false information. Without a roster, we can't tell who is real and who is fake."
"The top priority is to find the hidden stake list."
Zhao Xiangfo and Wang Miaoxin agreed: "The longevity star is right."
"Well, we have to find the roster first."
Suddenly, Zhu Ji's bodyguard walked in: "Zhao Qianhu, Sun Qianhu. The commander asked you to check in with him."
Sun Guishou asked: "Is there an errand?"
Baihu nodded slightly: "It seems that I asked you two to investigate the mastermind behind Mr. Liao's assassination."
Black Maitreya and the old longevity star left the office.
Chang Feng said: "Everyone, please leave. Wang Qianhu and Xu Guangzuo will stay here."
Everyone dispersed. Chang Feng ordered the two of them: "Let's go to Yuansheng Teahouse in the south of the city."
Yuansheng Teahouse is the only clue that Chang Feng currently has about the list of hidden stakes.
The three of them rode horses and arrived at Yuansheng Teahouse.
The teahouse was already buzzing with people. Those who throw dice, those who push Pai Gow, and all the gamblers have red eyes. It’s as if the casino is a battlefield.
Chang Feng found Shi Jian, the deputy head of Miaoshou Sect.
Shi Jian led the three of them to an empty private room on the second floor and asked, "Mr. Chang Qi, why are you here?"
Fatty Xu smiled and said, "Brother Shi, our Mr. Chang is Wen Po's good news - he has been promoted! Now he will change his name to Chang Qianhu."
Shi Jian cupped his hands and said, "Ah! Congratulations to Chang Qianhu."
Chang Feng got straight to the point: "Do you know a man who is around fifty years old? He is short and lean. There is a black mole on his right chin. He has a bit of a tongue. For example, he will refer to oranges as oranges."
What Chang Feng described was Liao Fanyong's appearance.
Shi Jian said: "We know each other! Are you talking about Mr. Hu? He is a friend of our big shopkeeper. He always hangs out with our big shopkeeper and two other friends."
Wang Miaoxin whispered in Chang Feng's ear: "Dahu is one of Master Liao's aliases."
Chang Feng asked: "Where is your big shopkeeper?"
Shi Jian replied: "He's in the accounting room. Wait a minute, I'll go find him."
Not long after, Gao Jin, the boss of Yuansheng Tea House, walked in.
Gao Jin's appearance is unattractive, and he has the kind of appearance that can't be found in a crowd of people.
Chang Feng showed Qianhu's waist card: "Shopkeeper Gao
, we are from Jinyiwei. "
Shopkeeper Gao said to Shi Jian, "You go down first."
After Shi Jian left, shopkeeper Gao knelt down to Chang Feng and said, "Gao Jin, a member of the Fusi Administration Bureau of Jinyiweinan Town, pays homage to Chang Qianhu!"
Chang Feng was surprised: "Are you from Jinyiwei?"
Shopkeeper Gao handed over his hand: "Exactly. My subordinates have been guarding the hidden stake list for eleven years under the cover of Yuansheng Tea House."
Chang Feng turned around and asked Wang Miaoxin: "Wang Qianhu, he calls himself Nansi. Do you know him?"
Wang Miaoxin shook her head slightly.
Shopkeeper Gao said: "My subordinates are also considered to be one of the hidden stakes. The identity of Nansi's hidden stakes is secretive. Even the thousands of households on top of many hidden stakes don't know their identities."
Wang Miao thought: "He is telling the truth."
Most of Nansi's important hidden stakes have single-line contact with Liao Fanyong.
Single line communication has two benefits. The first benefit is that the hidden identity is not easily detected by outsiders.
The second benefit, the important hidden stake is in the hands of Liao Fanyong. Even if there is a change of dynasty and the Jin Yiwei changes drastically, the new commander will have to continue to use him, Lao Liao. This is called relying on one's own weight.
Chang Feng said: "There must be a certificate, right? You can't just say yes."
Shopkeeper Gao said, "Master Chang, wait a moment."
He turned and left. Return soon. I have an extra card in my hand.
I saw a large inscription on the front of the belt card: "Jinyiweinan Town, Fusixia, 100 households, high."
On the back, there is a line of small words "This card will not be used outside Beijing".
Chang Feng took the badge and looked at it to see if it was genuine or not.
Shopkeeper Gao added: "In addition, my name is also on the hidden list. It can prove my identity."
Chang Feng's eyes lit up when he mentioned the hidden list. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it won't take any effort at all!
He quickly asked: "Where is the list of hidden stakes?"
Shopkeeper Gao replied: "I just got the news that Master Liao was assassinated. But I can't just hand over the list to anyone else. Not even Qianhu of Jinyiwei."
"Besides, as far as I know, Chang Qianhu, you are from Beizhen Fusi. You have never had anything to do with Nansi."
Chang Feng said: "There is an imperial decree, allowing me to temporarily take over the duties of Nanzhen's envoy. The entire Nansi is now under my control, so naturally you should leave the roster to me."
Shopkeeper Gao was very cautious: "Can you let your subordinates take a look at the imperial edict? As long as there is an imperial edict for you to temporarily take charge of Nansi, I will give you the list of secret stakes."
"Please understand. This roster is the hard work of generations of seniors and juniors of Nansi. It is the top secret of Nansi and even the entire Ming Dynasty."
Changfeng couldn't carry the imperial edict with him. The imperial edict had been entrusted to him in the envoy's room in Nanzhen.
Chang Feng praised Shopkeeper Gao: "He is a cautious person."
Then he told Fatty Xu: "Go back to Jinyiwei and get the imperial edict."
Fatty Xu left. Chang Feng, shopkeeper Gao and Wang Miaoxin sat down to drink tea and wait.
Chang Feng asked: "Mrs. Liao said that Mr. Liao often comes to your place to rub the hemp with you. It takes four people to rub the hemp. Who are the other two partners?"
Shopkeeper Gao said: "This matter is different from the list of secret stakes. I can tell you. The other two cards are important secret stakes lurking in the high official camp."
"One is called Guan Gong. He is a member of the imperial guard and is a member of the general Guantong."
"The second one is called Yang Chun. The flag of the Imperial Guard. His hidden identity in the Daguan Camp is that of a blacksmith."
Chang Feng asked again: "Do you know anything about the reason why Mr. Liao was assassinated?"
Shopkeeper Gao replied: "The day before yesterday, Guan Gong said that he was about to get a big secret. It has something to do with Datong Military Intelligence and the Condor Society."
Chang Feng was a little surprised: "The Vulture Club? What is that?"
Shopkeeper Gao explained. The Vultures would be a detailed organization of the Tatars in the capital.
Nanzhen Fusi has been fighting with him for more than ten years. However, the vulture can hide very deep, and Nan Si has never been able to uproot it.
The purpose of the Vulture Society is to "reverse the Ming Dynasty and restore the state of China."
Guantong is Nanzhen Fusi's backbone to infiltrate the Vulture Society.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Fatty Xu returned with the imperial edict.
After looking at it, shopkeeper Gao said: "Chang Qianhu. The secret stake list is officially delivered to you."
Chang Feng asked: "Where is the roster?"
Shopkeeper Gao replied: "It's in Yuansheng Tea House."
Chang Feng was a little strange: "Such an important roster, Master Liao doesn't keep it in Nanzhen Fusi or at home, why should he keep it in your teahouse?"
Shopkeeper Gao explained: "The Vulture Society has had its eyes on this roster for a long time. It is not safe to keep it in his home."
"As for not putting it in Nanzhen Fusi... Master Liao is not guarding the Vulture Society, but guarding his own people."
Chang Feng knew clearly: Whoever controls this list can control Nanzhen Fusi. Lao Liao is afraid that others will take his place. He has selfish motives.
Chang Feng asked: "Then your teahouse is safe?"
Shopkeeper Gao smiled and said: "Do you know what is underground in Yuansheng Tea House? It is an underground arsenal for the pseudo-Yuan Shun Emperor Qi Xue's army!"
"At the beginning, Xu Da, king of Zhongshan, surrounded Dadu with his troops. Emperor Shun fled north without fighting. Three hundred of Emperor Shun's cowardly Xue troops hid in the city anonymously."
"They built this arsenal to store ordnance. They hoped that the puppet Yuan army would be able to fight back one day, so they could use the ordnance to cooperate inside and outside."
"This arsenal is made of granite in the ground. It is extremely strong. It is perfect for storing the hidden stake list."
Chang Feng quickly asked: "Since it is an underground secret room, there is always a secret entrance. Where is the entrance?"
Shopkeeper Gao replied: "The entrance is extremely secretive. Even if you come from a family background, it would be difficult for you to find it. It's right here..."
Before shopkeeper Gao finished speaking, the gamblers downstairs seemed to be arguing. There was constant sound of smashing.
Shopkeeper Gao frowned: "I'll go down and take a look."
Chang Feng and the others followed out.
I saw four shady-looking gamblers, shouting "You guys are out of luck" and smashing the gaming table with their stools.
More than a dozen casino thugs surrounded him and the two sides faced off.
Shopkeeper Gao went downstairs: "What's going on?"
It's too late, but it's soon. A Mongolian man took out a Mongolian hidden weapon - a wheel rim from his pocket bag.
The wheel rim is a hidden weapon unique to the Meng people. Wear it on your left wrist, shake it with the fingers of your right hand and throw it at the enemy.
There are dozens of jagged spikes on the outside of the rim, which can seriously injure a person's head and neck.
Nowadays, the "Sun-Moon Hot Wheel" and "Sun-Moon Wild Goose Wing Wheel" used by folk showmen and entertainers are all evolved from wheel rims.
"bass!"
The Namonites threw out the wheel. He flew directly to Shopkeeper Gao, who was ten steps away.
"Poof!" The wheel rim pierced Shopkeeper Gao's neck. Shopkeeper Gao immediately splattered with blood!
Chang Feng shouted at a dozen thugs: "Catch them yet! Come on!"
These four Mongols were obviously dead soldiers. There was no thought of escaping.
They all took out their daggers and shouted in unison: "Long live Dayuan! Long live Genghis Khan!"
Then he inserted the dagger into his chest!
Chang Feng hurriedly ran to Shopkeeper Gao, leaned over and used his hand to detect Shopkeeper Gao's breath.
Fatty Xu asked: "Are you still angry?"
Chang Feng shook his head slightly.
Shopkeeper Gao has passed away to the west.
Look at the four Mongolian assassins again. Their daggers were smeared with poison that would seal their throats upon seeing blood. They have all returned to the west.
Wang Miaoxin was confused: "According to what shopkeeper Gao just said, his identity is extremely secret. Only three people, Mr. Liao, Guan Gong and Yang Chun, know about it."
"The men came to assassinate him. It was definitely not about a casino dispute. It was because they knew his identity. It was probably because of the roster."
"Master Liao is dead. The only ones who revealed the identity of Shopkeeper Gao are Guan Gong and Yang Chun."
Fatty Xu said: "I'm not talking about dead people! This shopkeeper Gao is breathing heavily! He only said there is a secret room under the teahouse, but he didn't say where the entrance is!"
Chang Feng said: "It will be easier if you know that the secret room is underground in the teahouse. Don't
I forgot what our backgrounds are. "
The first floor of Yuansheng Tea House is the lobby and four rooms.
There are ten rooms on the second floor. These include private rooms and counting rooms.
Chang Feng asked Fatty Xu to return to Jinyiwei and called a hundred captains and warriors who inspected Qianhu Station.
These people are all experts at ransacking homes to find secret rooms and secret passages.
Everyone rolled up their arms and rolled up their sleeves. Chang Feng confidently gave the order: "Search!"
Chang Feng wanted to show his new subordinate Wang Miaoxin how capable he was at inspecting the subordinates brought out by Qianhu.
Chang Feng himself mainly searched shopkeeper Gao's accounting room and bedroom.
However, it backfired! An hour passed. The teahouse was turned upside down. Where is the shadow of the entrance to the secret passage?
Fatty Xu complained: "Mr. Chang, damn it. It was a coincidence that those four assassins came here! We don't have to waste our strength if we only have to wait for a moment!"
Chang Feng said: "It's useless to say this. Find the entrance, enter the secret room, and get the roster."
Fatty Xu pursed his lips towards Wang Miaoxin in the distance: "But the brothers have searched the teahouse and can't find the entrance. This is a joke for the little national player!"
"Mr. Chang, you have just taken charge of Nansi. If the first shot is not fired, will the people under you still be able to obey you?"
Chang Feng thought for a while and said, "The method of searching a house is divided into detailed copying and rough copying. Detailed copying is to carefully search the eight treasures in the official's residence."
"Rough copying is generally not used. It seems we have to do rough copying today."
The so-called rough copying, to put it bluntly, is to steal the house!
Most official residences are deep courtyards. Moreover, the deep residence compound itself is also a type of property of the prisoner. Therefore, we generally do not conduct rough searches or demolition of houses.
This Yuansheng Teahouse is a bigger place than anything else. Just demolish the house. The secret room underneath can naturally be seen.
Chang Feng asked Fatty Xu to go to Libahang in the south of the city to hire 300 strong men, and asked Wang Miaoxin to go to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to recruit 200 soldiers. In addition, one hundred people inspected the robes of thousands of households. Six hundred people in total.
He also asked his captain to go to the 12th Regiment Camp and mobilized two siege vehicles.
Everything was ready, Chang Feng gave an order: "Demolish it! Demolish this teahouse for me."
