Chapter 540 of the brocade night walk is stabbed

Xia Xun returned to China, which seems to have brought a thriving new atmosphere to Japan one by one

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sent off the two envoys with a grand ceremony, and returned home with Xia Xun, as well as more than 20 Japanese merchants and dozens of merchant ships, which were the daimyo who had obtained the quota for the exploration trade to collect the most popular commodities of the Ming Dynasty at the fastest speed, and the ballast stone was replaced by a part of gold, silver, copper and tin and other metals.

Because the goods of the Ming Dynasty are generally more expensive than the goods of Japan, the goods exchanged for barter are not enough to fit these merchant ships, and they need to use real money to buy the luxury goods of the Ming Dynasty, which will alleviate the problem of the lack of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty to a large extent, gold and silver are recognized in any country in the world, representing the real purchasing power, which is extremely popular in the Ming Dynasty both officially and privately.

In addition, those copper and tin and other things are ready to ask the Ming Dynasty to mint coins for Japan, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who urgently needs a name and needs to expand his influence, is very interested in publishing coins with his name or head, Xia Xun just put forward this idea, and he can't wait for Tian to take the initiative to put forward the condition: three out of ten. All the required minting materials were provided by him, and the Ming Kingdom only needed to return the minting of 30% of the weight of all the minted materials, and the rest was used as loss and reward.

The ship landed in Hangzhou Bay, and the dignitaries of the Xidong Army rushed to the wharf under the leadership of Chen Xuan to greet the Duke of Fuguo and Zheng He, and the Japanese merchant ships and goods were also inspected and received by special personnel.

A banquet was held in the city of Hangzhou to welcome the return of the two envoys.

After a few months, Xia Xun seemed to be very excited, Zheng He didn't drink a drop of wine, so Xia Xun did it, and the wine was dry and he was happy. On that day, Xia Xun and Zheng He lived in the Lonely Mountain Plum Garden, so that they could leave for Beijing early the next morning.

There are ready-made villas on the lonely mountain, here in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was built by Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, covering most of the lonely mountains, after the war of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, most of them were destroyed, and some manors were rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty, which were hidden in the green shade, which was very beautiful.

Xia Tao and Zheng He's villa is facing the beautiful West Lake, open the vermilion lacquer gate that opens all sides, you can see the scenery on the lake, standing at the head of the building, you can see the "Autumn Moon on the Flat Lake" at the end of the white causeway, the scenery on the lake is overwhelming, the painting boat is moving, the song is melodious, the water birds are flapping their wings, and the flowers and butterflies are deceiving their toes, just like a paradise on earth.

The twists and turns in the villa are beautiful, the flowers and trees are shaded, the green is towering, and the fragrance is fragrant. The two small buildings of Xia Xun and Zheng He are like butterflies spreading their wings and opening their toes to each other, and the two are stacked with stones into peaks, flowers and trees are sparse, small ponds are Zhanbo, pavilions and corridors are adjacent, and it is a quiet and elegant place.

"Duke Fu Guo and Gong Zheng, the two of you will stay here tonight, and early tomorrow morning, Chen Xuan will bring Jiang Xi's colleagues to see them off."

Chen Xuan led the two into the plum garden, and said with a smile, there were already sergeant guards outside the courtyard, and they were heavily guarded, and there were also young people in green clothes, white shirts and black shoes, and people in very neat and free clothes, and pretty little girls with delicate eyebrows and delicate eyebrows, and at first glance they were local girls in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"Hurry up, Grandpa Guo is drunk, help Grandpa Guo back to rest."

Chen Xuan said loudly, and immediately two little girls who were happy and disgusted came over, and held Xia Xun, whose legs were a little fluttering, Zheng He turned around and thanked Chen Xuan and other officials: "You have the hospitality of all the adults, tomorrow morning, we have to leave for Beijing and reply to the emperor, it is getting late, so I won't leave you alone." ”

"Okay, okay, the two Qincha should rest early in the morning, I'll leave after waiting for this."

Xia Xun put his arms on the shoulders of the little girl, his eyes were drunk, and he greeted Chen Xuan and the others, and Zheng He sent Chen Xuan and the others out of the door again, and when he turned around, Xia Xun had already been helped into the building. Zheng He asked a man in a small hat in a green coat, "Where is my residence?" ”

A servant hurriedly said: "Master, please go this way, Grandpa Guo and you both live in Lianbi Building, Grandpa Guo lives in the left room, and Master you live in the right room......"

As the servant spoke, he led the way in front, Zheng He stared at his back, his eyes shrank suddenly, and when the man stood on his heels, he looked back and smiled: "Master, this is it." At that time, Zheng He's demeanor had returned to normal, smiled faintly, and walked towards the building......

The night was dark, and the two little girls walked out of Xia Xun with lanterns and walked side by side along the verandah.

"Grandpa Guo is so young, very handsome"

"The young Grandpa Guo is not only the Auxiliary Guogong, Cao Guogong and Dingguo Gong are not very old, but they are all adhering to the Yu Yin of their father's ancestors, this Auxiliary Guogong is not compatible, and they are the fame earned by their own skills. ......"

"What's the sigh?"

"What do you care?"

"Hee-hee, you're a little disappointed, aren't you? is so young, handsome, and so big, if you are asked to sleep, you will ascend to the sky in one step. It's a pity, I knew that a grandfather was coming today, and he dressed himself like a bride, belch! The grandfather of the country was as drunk as a dead pig, wasting some of my little sleeve girl's heart."

"Dead girl! What nonsense are you?"

The other girl was ashamed and chased after her to pinch her waist, but the little girl in front of her hurriedly twisted her waist and avoided it, and ran away with a smile. The two maid rings chased away one after the other, and the lights in their hands jumped and jumped under the night, like two happy fireflies.

They are all girls from poor families, and if they are really favored by a noble person and become other people's concubines, it is not a sorrow for their lives, but a blessing. They have the right to chase happiness, and this is their opportunity to chase happiness. And tonight, they didn't capture this opportunity, which is obviously a kind of luck, otherwise the opportunity for the sparrow to turn into a phoenix has not yet come, but it is likely to give them their lives.

Because they had just left, several figures appeared outside the verandah, gesturing to each other, jumping over the fence briskly, and quickly touching Xia Xun's residence with dragon steps, landing silently, as light as a flying feather.

There are assassins!

After the strange moment, there was an explosion in the red building, a figure broke through the window lattice and flew out, after landing on the ground, rolled several times in succession, rolled under the banana leaves before stopping his body, he just got up, and saw another figure flying out of the stairs with a hand in hand, this person was obviously beaten hard, and he retreated firmly to the ground, wow, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body was straight, and he lay there stiffly and did not move.

The assassin who barely got up just touched the ground with his shoulder, only to feel the pain in his shoulder bone, he gritted his teeth, and was about to rush into the building with a knife, when he saw a figure flying like a big bird, at this time the full moon was in the sky, the earth was clear, and the man saw that the person who came was just stepping on the top of the rockery with one foot, like a big bird flying upstairs, and couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, with such light skills, how could this person's kung fu be bad.

I saw that the man jumped into the railing, his feet had just touched the ground, and suddenly turned to one side, and the third assassin flew out of the broken window, seeing his figure like a rag, he was only angry in mid-air, how dare this assassin dare to give his life in vain again, and immediately quietly dived backwards, moved to a distance, and ran away.

The person at the head of the building flashed the corpse that flew out, flashed to the broken window, and a snowy knife light flew to the surface, this knife was extremely fast, with the sound of wind and thunder, and the person outside the window was also terrified, one foot on the floor dripping and turning, and dangerously let go of this knife, and a sleeve had fluttered downstairs.

"Stop! It's me."

The people outside the building shouted, and the people inside froze for the second time. Under the light, this person is Xia Xun, Xia Xun, who should have been drunk, had clear eyes at the moment, and he had already seen a trace of drunkenness, and the person standing outside the window was naturally Zheng He.

Xia Xun stepped aside sideways, Zheng He flew in, only to see a lamp on the table, reflecting the entire room, and there was a corpse lying on the ground, and there was already a puddle of blood under him.

Zheng He frowned slightly, and asked, "Fu Guogong, what's going on?" ”

Xia Xun smiled lightly and said, "Someone stabbed it, my father-in-law came so fast"

Zheng He said: "In the evening, I felt a little strange. The subordinate who led the way, breathing for a long time, and his feet were also very steady, a subordinate with clever skills, was already a little strange, and his demeanor was ...... Quite...... Quite ......"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "It is quite a style of marching"

Zheng He was silent, and the assassination of the minister was already a shocking event, and if the assassin still had a military set, the complexity of this case would probably be even more unimaginable.

At this time, the news has attracted the attention of the soldiers patrolling the outer garden, a group of generals and colonels holding torches, holding knives and guns, flocked to the small building, Xia Xun glanced out of the window, and said: "Father-in-law, please avoid it, let Yang answer them, tomorrow morning, we have to leave for Beijing, it is best not to disturb us tonight." ”

Zheng He nodded, turned around and jumped out of the window, when he jumped on the top of the rockery and returned to the small building where he lived, he suddenly remembered one thing, just now Yang Xu, the prince of the auxiliary country, was sober and not drunk, and when he came to the plum garden in the evening, he was already drunk and couldn't walk, and his wine woke up so quickly? Or is it You ......, who already knew that someone would assassinate?

This night, they really didn't sleep well, Xia Xun said that he was assassinated, and the soldiers in charge of the whole guard were very nervous, and immediately took Xiaolou as the center, and searched the entire lonely mountain carpet, and the noise finally calmed down, and Chen Xuan, Si Hanchao and other Zhejiang civil and military officials who learned the news came like a fire, and Xia Xun and Zheng He had to cheer up and deal with it.

Chen Xuan learned what happened, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, after a thorough investigation, he had found that there were four fewer people in the house, three of them made night walker clothes, and their bodies were lying outside the window, and the other had already escaped.

The prefect of Hangzhou immediately ordered someone to take care of the plum courtyard, and the knife catchers hurried to the house of the steward of the plum garden on the order of the prefect, but found that the steward and his wife had been killed in their sleep.

Although such a thing happened, the next morning Xia Xun and Zheng He still went on the road as scheduled, Chen Xuan felt guilty, and repeatedly assured the two Qincha that the murderer must be severely arrested, Chen Xuan is the person recommended by Xia Xun, and has been regarded by Xia Xun as his own person, and the matter of public security is the responsibility of the Hangzhou prefect, no matter how to blame him, Xia Xun will not criticize him, but comfort him a lot.

Chen Xuan and other officials sent the two messengers out of Hangzhou for ten miles, and then returned to Hangzhou, gritted their teeth and began a large-scale search for the whole city, which made the whole Hangzhou jump for a while.

On the car, Xia Xun yawned sleepily, put the blanket on his waist, and the state was about to take a nap, He Tianyang came in from outside, smiled at him, and reported: "My lord, the people of the hidden dragon have followed."

Xia Xun snorted, didn't open his eyes, his body fluctuated twice with the car, and he suddenly said again: "You hurry back to the capital, go to the Dingguo Mansion, and find a Qiaoyun girl." ”

"Yes, what does the lowly say?"

"Say to me, 'I'm back!' 、

"That's it?"

"That's all"

“…… Yes"

He Tianyang got out of the carriage and quietly spit out: "My father-in-law is serious and tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great!" The girls in the Dingguo Mansion have all been by him."

In the carriage, Xia Xun didn't know what he thought, a good-looking smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, he pulled the thin blanket to his waist, and leaned against the wall of the car and fell asleep.

In the palace, Emperor Yongle had just sat down, and he saw a stack of concertos on the top of the piece, and there was a piece tied to two yellow silks, Zhu Di pulled off the yellow silk and opened it, but it was a secret piece presented by Zheng He.

The situation outside, of course, is not as good as returning to the capital with Qincha, and then letting the emperor know everything, all the details about the envoy to Japan, Zheng He had sent his cronies back to Jinling, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, before leaving Kyoto.

Zhu Di looked at it carefully, and it not only told in detail how to outwit the Japanese coastal pirates, but also cleverly arranged Xia Xun, separated the three leaders, planted the Sword God Palace, and successfully promoted the fall of the deacon who hated the Ming Dynasty, and the complete elimination of the Oda clan, the culprit behind the Xiangshan tragedy.

This is a secret performance, only the emperor can see the tool, the inner study is responsible for the selection of the eunuchs have no right to read, this is bypassing the general secretary, the inner study directly to the imperial secret, when Yang Xu and Zheng He returned to Beijing, in the court to publicly reinstate the recital, it is absolutely impossible to hear these contents.

The Heavenly Empire, Enyi Fuyuan, can only convince the public with morality, conspiracies and tricks, how can he ascend to the hall of elegance?

Zhu Di smiled knowingly when he saw it, put the secret music into an envelope and sealed it, added fire paint, Mu En immediately took it with both hands, and the secret music was archived, unless a certain generation of emperors was interested in seeing the previous secret music and issued a holy decree, the content of this music would be declassified. Otherwise, people only know that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to Japan, and the Japanese king Yuan Daoyi had the royal family in mind, loved the monarch sincerely, thought of respect, tried his best to assassinate bandits, and crossed the waves, sent envoys to pay tribute and do business. Others, people will never know.

"Yang Xu is loyal, this time, he has made great contributions, and the matter of Xidong is ...... It's time to give him a final explanation."

Zhu Di thought about it, grabbed the ...... of the imperial pen,
