Speaking of Qin Feng, after leaving Qianhusuo Yamen, he was not in a hurry to return to Qisha Castle. Instead, he took Mouse around the city to learn about the local customs, and even found a mutton restaurant and had a delicious meal.
After eating and drinking, he found another inn to stay in, asked for a room in the upper room, closed all the doors and windows, and then sat on the bed with his eyes closed and meditated.
Qin Feng knew in his heart that the current situation was very bad!
Zheng Qianhu harbored evil intentions and wanted to kill himself under the pretext of exterminating the sand bandits... As for the sand bandits, they hated him even more and would come for revenge sooner or later, and both of them were stronger than himself. Too many.
Now, I am like a little lamb, surrounded from front to back by two evil wolves. No matter which direction I break through, the result is a dead end.
Fortunately, these two evil wolves are not in the same group and hate each other.
The only way to survive now is to let them fight each other and fight to the death. The little lamb can become the final winner.
The question is, how can we get these two wolves to fight?
After pondering for more than an hour and considering various factors, Qin Feng finally came up with a clever plan of 'two wolves fighting, the lamb wins'. However, to successfully implement this plan, one person is needed to help. OK.
…
After dark, he let the mouse stay in the inn to rest. Qin Feng put on a black suit and a bamboo hat on his head, and quietly left the inn, avoiding the streets and walking exclusively in the alleys. After going around in a few circles, he came to a courtyard gate. forward.
The courtyard is large, with three front and back floors, red bricks and gray tiles, and elegant decoration. There is a plaque hanging on the red lacquer door with two big words: Dong's Mansion.
Yes, this is the residence of Deputy Qianhu Dong Yongjie. There are two soldiers standing guard in front of the door. When they saw Qin Feng approaching, they immediately stretched out their hands to stop him: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to visit Deputy Dong Qianhu. Please let me know."
"Hey, you are Qin Feng!"
"Exactly. Do you two know me?"
"I was lucky enough to meet him last time in Lianglang Mountain. Little brother Qin is really a young hero!"
Last time, Deputy Dong Qianhu led his troops to Lianglang Mountain to rescue the Xue family's caravan. These two soldiers were also among them, so they knew Qin Feng.
Now that we know each other, it's easy to handle. After asking a few questions, a soldier ran in to deliver the letter.
After a while, the soldier came back with a slightly weird look on his face: "Ahem, um... my deputy Qianhu has invited me, please come with me!"
"Thank you!"
The soldiers led Qin Feng into the gate and passed through a courtyard. However, they did not go to the reception hall, but turned into a side courtyard.
The side courtyard is very large, with a thick layer of fine white sand on the ground, and stone locks, stone poles, archery targets, weapon racks... It turns out that this is a martial arts arena.
Most of the homes of middle- and high-level military officers have martial arts arenas for practicing martial arts. This is not surprising!
The strange thing is that there is no sign of Deputy Dong Qianhu in the martial arts arena, but there is a strong young man, about 20 years old, whose appearance is similar to that of Deputy Dong Qianhu. At first glance, he is related to father and son.
"Are you Qin Feng?"
"Exactly, Your Excellency?"
"My name is Dong Tianbao. I am the son of Deputy Dong Qianhu. I have been fond of practicing martial arts since I was a child. I admire heroes the most. I heard that you saved the Xue family caravan in Lianglang Mountain and killed the second leader of the sand bandit. During this period, Your name is being praised everywhere, saying that you are a young hero with great martial arts skills... I am not very talented, and I want to learn a few tricks from you!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Dong. I'm here to visit your father. May I ask where he is?"
"My dad is resting in the backyard. If you want to see him, you must defeat me first."
"I'm not interested in fighting. Say goodbye!"
…
After the Battle of Lianglangshan, Qin Feng's name spread. Many people expressed their admiration, but there were also some passionate young people who expressed dissatisfaction and wanted to compete with Qin Feng to prove that they were the real heroes. Dong Tianbao was one of them.
This guy was enjoying the shade in the yard just now when he saw a soldier running in. After some questioning, he found out that it was the famous Qin Feng who was here, so he used a little trick to trick Qin Feng into the martial arts arena.
Qin Feng came here to do business tonight, but he was not interested in sparring with this stupid young man. He immediately turned around and left, wanting to find Deputy Dong Qianhu.
"Hmph, I want to leave, but there's no way... Just take a punch from me!"
Seeing that Qin Feng was about to leave, Dong Tianbao suddenly pounced over and punched straight to the vital position in the back.
Qin Feng had no choice but to turn around and punch him as well.
"Bang!"
The two fists collided together, making a dull sound. Under the huge rebound, Qin Feng took three steps back to stabilize his body, but Dong Tianbao only took one step back. In terms of strength comparison, the latter clearly had the upper hand.
"What a young hero, that's all. I punched him back, haha!"
"Huh, it's just brute force. I hope you can still laugh after a while!"
Dong Tianbao was proud of himself, but Qin Feng didn't care at all. The martial arts competition was not about arm-wrestling. Whoever is stronger will win. On the contrary, the essence of Chinese martial arts is 'to overcome strength with softness and to move a thousand pounds with four or two'! '
Skills are better than strength!
"Punch me again!"
"bring it on!"
Next, the two changed their moves and fought together.
Qin Feng no longer confronted him head-on, but took advantage of his physical agility to move around, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, and quickly took the initiative.
On the other hand, Dong Tianbao had a lot of brute strength, but he couldn't use it at all. He was also tricked around, blocking the left but not the right, so that the door was wide open. He received several punches in a row, and he grinned in pain!
After fighting for a few more rounds, Qin Feng took advantage of his strength and punched Dong Tianbao in the lower back. The latter immediately fell to the ground and rolled out more than a foot away.
"Boy, do you accept it?"
"Not convinced!"
"Okay, come again!"
"Come here and punch me!"
Dong Tianbao jumped up, roared, and rushed forward with his fist...
After five rounds, he was kicked to the ground by Qin Feng.
"Boy, do you accept it?"
"If you don't accept it, come again!"
"good!"
…
Once, twice, three times... In less than one meal, Dong Tianbao was knocked down eight times in total. The beatings left him with a bruised nose and swollen face, and he was in a miserable state. However, the boy struggled to stand up and launched another challenge for the ninth time.
Such a tenacious character made Qin Feng appreciate him a little. He was a good soldier, but he was a little too reckless and needed to be trained properly.
"Bang!"
…
After a few rounds, Dong Tianbao was beaten to the ground again, but the boy was still unconvinced and struggled to get up. When he was about to launch the tenth challenge, he was blocked by a more burly figure. It was not someone else. It was Qianhu, deputy director Dong, who came after hearing the news.
"Dad, let me go, I'm going to fight him again!"
"Idiot, you learned a little Kung Fu like a three-legged cat, and then you cause trouble for me all day long. If little brother Qin hadn't been merciful just now, you would still be alive!"
Deputy Dong Qianhu had arrived a long time ago. After watching the competition between the two, he knew that Qin Feng had a killing move, but he did not try his best. Otherwise, his son would have ten lives, so he went to report to the Lord of Hell.
"The dog is rude, please don't blame me, little brother Qin!"
"I don't dare. It's rude of me to visit you late at night. Please don't blame me, Mr. Qianhu!"
"Haha, this is not the place to talk. Please sit down in the living room and have a cup of tea!"
"good!"
Deputy Dong Qianhu scolded his son a few words, and then led Qin Feng to the living room. After the guests and hosts were seated, some of his own soldiers served him tea.
The two chatted for a few words at first, and then quickly turned to the main topic.
"Little brother Qin is coming tonight, are you afraid that he will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing?"
"Yes, there is indeed a big matter that needs to be discussed with Mr. Deputy Qianhu."
"Oh, could it be about wiping out the bandits? This is not an easy thing to do. If you don't do it right, you will be killed!"
During the day, although Deputy Dong Qianhu didn't show up, he was very aware of what was happening outside. In his opinion, Qin Feng's late-night visit this time should be because he knew that he had fallen into Zheng Qianhu's scheme and came here specially. Should you save those who seek help from you or not?
If you want to save him, this matter is too difficult to handle. If you don't handle it well, it will bring disaster to yourself!
I don’t want to save him, but I can’t bear it. I’m really in a dilemma!
"Sir Vice Senhu is right. If the bandit suppression is not handled well, people will be killed. But, I'm afraid it's not just the next person who will be killed!"
"Well, what do you mean?"
"Haha, it's very simple. The blame for the failure in suppressing the bandits is too big, and my official position is too small. I can't bear it at all. If my subordinates can't bear it, who should do it?"
"ah!"
Qin Feng didn't say much, but he made Deputy Dong Qianhu break into a cold sweat!
Yes, it is a military order issued by the General Military Office of Yulin Town to wipe out the sand bandits within a month. But judging from the current situation, this military order cannot be completed at all.
Anyone who disobeys military orders must be executed according to the law. Qin Feng’s life will definitely not be saved.
The problem is, Qin Feng is just an official of a hundred households who has not officially taken up his post. It is neither emotionally nor logically justified for him to take the blame, nor can the General Military Mansion explain it to him.
what to do?
We can only find someone with a higher status to take the blame!
Who to look for?
After going through all the people in Zhenbei Qianhu's office, it seems that he is the best candidate... He and Zheng Qianhu are not dealing with each other. With this guy's character, IQ, and methods, he will not take the opportunity to do something evil. That’s the weird thing!
Thinking of this, Deputy Dong Qianhu understood that now it was not a question of whether to save Qin Feng or not, but that he and Qin Feng were already tied together, and they had to live together and die together!
"Sir, Deputy Qianhu, is a sensible person. He must know how dangerous the situation is. But don't worry. I have a strategy that can wipe out the sand bandits within a month. By then, you and I will not only be innocent, but also make meritorious deeds." You’re being rewarded!”
"What, you said you have a way to destroy the bandits?"
Deputy Dong Qianhu's face was full of disbelief. The bandits had been causing trouble for many years. Yulin Town had sent out troops several times but could not wipe them out. What could a young man do?
To wipe it out within a month is too much!
"Haha, it's a matter of life and death. How can I talk nonsense? There is indeed a way to wipe out the sand bandits within a month. However, if you want to accomplish this, you need the help of Deputy Qianhu. To be more precise, , I need two things.”
"Oh, what?"
"First, I want five pounds of high-quality gold sand!"
Gold sand is not gold, but a kind of gold-containing sand and gravel mined from the river bed. According to the different gold content, it is divided into upper, middle and lower grades!
The gold content of high-grade gold sand is about 50%. In the Ming Dynasty, one pound was equal to sixteen taels, and the exchange rate of gold and silver was one to ten!
After this conversion, five kilograms of high-quality placer gold is worth approximately more than 400 taels of silver, which is not a difficult task for a deputy Qianhu.
"Gold sand is not a problem, what is the second thing?"
"I heard that Zheng Qianhu's thirteenth concubine, Ye Wan'er, is known as a 'little talented girl'. She is especially proficient in painting and calligraphy. I need a picture of mandarin ducks drawn by her. I'd better mention a poem above. Love poems!”
Deputy Dong Qianhu was a little confused. What did the extermination of the bandits have to do with Zheng Qianhu's concubine?
Could it be that Qin Feng is a romantic young man and is planning to give Zheng Qianhu a cuckold. That would be interesting, hehe!
Knowing that the other party was confused, Qin Feng lowered his voice and described his plan to suppress the bandits, or more accurately, part of the plan, in detail.
As for the other part of the plan, it is top secret and no one can tell it.
If you let it slip, your life will be at risk!
