Chapter 252: Forgery
"What do you mean by that," Zhang Fan asked Wang Xiliang in some surprise, and the people who heard his words next to him all came to come over, although they didn't ask anything because Zhang Fan was there, but the question on their faces had already revealed their feelings.
"The meaning of lowly position is that the origin of this person is really negotiable," Wang Xiliang said, "These people named 'Ranbo', although they have not seen it with their own eyes before their humble position, but they have heard a lot of news from some Fusang people who have dealt with them before, these people's training is extremely hard, and it can even be called cruel, but their status is extremely low, and they are often used by the princes of Fusang Island as a tool for assassination and inquiring about news, but they don't care much about the lives of these people, and if they die, they are dead. Anyway, there are a lot of people like this, but there is one point, although these 'chaotic waves' are very lowly in status, but they are only for those princes and daimyos, they exist for this, even if there are a very small number of 'chaotic waves' defected or walked alone, the number is also extremely small, and this time, the Dongchengmen officials in many prefectures and counties in Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces have been assassinated, so it can be seen that this time they came to assassinate The number of 'chaotic waves' is really quite large, and I feel that if these people hadn't obeyed someone's orders, it would never have been possible for so many people to come."
"What do you mean......" Zhang Fan seemed to have guessed what Wang Xiliang was going to say, "This attack, the Japanese are just a cover, and the real main force behind it is those Fusang daimyo,"
"Now we have too little news, and many things are still uncertain," Wang Xiliang also frowned and said, "But it seems that this is the case at present, after all, it is definitely not a coincidence that so many 'chaotic waves' appear together,"
"My lord, according to this analysis, it seems that things are really like this," Wang Meng said, "but if this is the case, this whole thing is quite strange, those daimyo on Fuso Island are now fighting, it is too late to defend against others, how can they have the energy to attack us, don't they know, if we learn about this situation, won't we help other daimyo to deal with the side that attacked us, with our help, It is possible for any daimyo on Fuso Island to easily capture the whole of Fuso,"
Strange, the whole thing reveals the word "strange", and before the big attack, it will attack the local personnel, strange; The Fusang daimyo, who didn't dare to act rashly against the Ming Dynasty, is now also involved in this matter, which is still strange.
"What is the situation on Fuso Island now," Zhang Fan asked.
The Ming Dynasty is not very concerned about Fusang, after all, it is a subject country, and since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Muromachi shogunate broke out because of an accident more than 20 years ago, and the Yingren Rebellion began, until now the two hundred years have been all in the war between the independent warlords and the local princes and the daimyo, so the Ming Dynasty did not pay much attention to Fusang, but now almost every year there are Fuso envoys to the Ming Dynasty, but now it can be regarded as a group of heroes, Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is too lazy to care about who is the main master, as long as the people of that family come early, it is to receive as a state guest, so Fusang every year in order to compete for the qualification to come to the Ming Dynasty to see the Ming Dynasty, it is also inextricable, after all, after the audience, you can get a lot of rewards from the Ming Dynasty, which is a lot of support for them who are fighting, and therefore, the Ming Dynasty will go to grasp a little bit of the situation there.
Now, Oda Nobunaga, who was born in Owari, has succeeded in going to Luo, and has received strong support from the Muromachi shogunate, although the current Muromachi shogunate has been in abnormal decline, but at least in terms of reputation, Oda Nobunaga has the advantage, and the contemporary general of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, is dissatisfied with this, although Oda Nobunaga once saved his life, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the general, is not able to control the Muromachi shogunate, and the reason is because of Oda Nobunaga, the merit of Shangluo, is in front of him, Now Ashikaga Yoshiaki is ostensibly standing with Oda Nobunaga, but in fact, he is secretly contacting Takeda Shingen and a series of anti-Nobunaga missions to plot to overthrow Oda Nobunaga.
After listening to Wang Meng's introduction to the recent situation on Fusang Island, Zhang Fan felt a little bit more in his heart, but the news he heard still couldn't touch the doubts in his heart now, since the Nobunaga group and the anti-Nobunaga group led by Ashikaga Yoshiaki could almost be said to be a big war now, then how could they have the time and energy to plan the attack on Daming.
Suddenly, Zhang Fan thought of the previous thing that had always made him feel weird, and hurriedly asked, "Wang Meng, have you had any results from the investigation on Liu Shan's side?"
"Don't mention it, the humble post is almost forgotten here," Wang Meng was also a little forgotten by today's incident, Zhang Fan mentioned this, he hurriedly said, "That day, the lord ordered the humble post to investigate Liu Shan's situation in the past two months, although the humble post felt that there would be no result at the time, but since the lord ordered, the humble duty should do things by himself."
"The lowly sent people to ask all the people who have something to do with Liu Shan, and the lowly is also worried that they will not cooperate, and at the beginning they showed the waist card of the factory guard, and those people thought that something was wrong, and they all tried their best to cooperate, but many people said some irrelevant news, until yesterday, the lowly position inquired in the mouth of a person, Liu Shan seemed to have asked people to find a person somewhere by the sea in Songjiang Mansion last month, and the lowly office quickly sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, he found that person, When we were about to arrest him, as soon as we showed the waist card of the factory guard, the man immediately wiped his neck and committed suicide.
"At that time, the lowly people were also very strange, this kind of simple person who committed suicide is not nothing, but this person does not look like a master who will commit suicide at a glance, and the lowly official sent someone to search there, and as a result, this thing was found, and after the lowly official saw it, he also understood why the person was going to commit suicide when he saw us," Wang Meng said this, and took out a thing wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan took it in his hand, only felt that this thing was square, the texture was very hard, and it was very heavy, obviously a brand made of gold, Zhang Fan could feel the unevenness on it through the cloth wrapped on it, obviously carved something.
On behalf of the cloth, Zhang Fan saw the brand, he laughed, this piece of golden brand, take a look at it, it is really made of gold, and the texture of the gold used is very good, what makes Zhang Fan laugh is the carved thing above, the front is engraved with a golden dragon with teeth and claws, the carving is very meticulous, it looks lifelike, and there are many fancys carved next to it, obviously it is found to be a skilled craftsman to do it, but the dragon is carved at will. Wind and this kind of thing in this era is guilty of deception, pretending to be a saint is going to kill the head, rather than being caught by the brocade guard and waiting to die in pain, it is better to be more comfortable to cut it off on its own.
Then turn the brand upside down, Zhang Fan laughed even more after seeing it, there are some patterns on the edge decoration between the back, only in the middle there is a word, "Ming", this is obviously a forged, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty royal identity of the waist card, this thing deceives ordinary people, or those who are illiterate humanity is really useful, but Zhang Fan knows that in the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there have been countless yamen, and there are countless waist cards, but Zhang Fan dares to use the head as a guarantee, The piece in his hand was something he had never seen before, and the most important point was that the Ming royal family had never cast such a waist card that clearly represented the imperial power, and it had also learned and may have been, but it would never appear in Liu Shan's hands.
"What the hell is that person doing," Zhang Fan asked.
"After the man committed suicide, he also sent someone to inquire," Wang Meng replied, "and the people around him only knew about such a man, but they didn't know what he did, and it is said that the man had a small boat, and often said that he went to sea to fish, so he sent someone to look at the man's boat, and it turned out that there were no fishing nets or anything on the boat, but they found a lot of gold ingots from Fusang."
"Later, I went to my local colleagues in Songjiang for questioning, and they had heard of this person, who had some connections with Fusang, but he was not a Japanese coar, but had some dealings with the people on Fusang Island, because this person had not done anything wrong in so many years, and gradually, the local colleagues relaxed their surveillance of him,"
"It seems that this person not only didn't do anything wrong, but did a lot of wrong things," Zhang Fan said, "If you take this thing to Fusang to cheat, it's very convenient, although I have never cast this thing, but the people of Fusang don't know, and this thing is very meticulously cast, I guess they also think it's true, in this way, this thing can be of great use in Fusang,"
"But my lord," Wang Meng still had doubts in his heart, and asked, "What did Liu Shan want this person to do with such a thing to Fusang, and what does this matter have to do with this large-scale attack of the Japanese invaders?"
"Now I'm not sure," Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "If this thing is believed to be true, then there will be more things that can be done, but although I can't know what Liu Shan's mind is thinking, I can guess a little,"
Hearing Zhang Fan say this, the brocade guards present were all staring at Zhang Fan, waiting for his answer.
