Shen Xi wanted to carry out a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and he did not know that he would meet Yu Niang and Zi Qian, mainly because he did not trust Zi Qian, a woman.

Zi Qian nominally wants to rebel against Song Xi'er, but behind the scenes, she may betray her accomplices for some interests and partner with them, which is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.

Two days later, Ma Jiu came back and successfully sent Shen Xi's apocryphal letter to Huaiyang Tower.

Shen Xi was originally afraid that Ma Jiu would show his feet, but this person was more intelligent and sleek than Shen Xi imagined, after leaving Huaiyang Tower, when someone was following him behind him, he took people out of the city, and seemed to get into the boat that had been prepared by the Jin'an River a long time ago, and went down the river.

Ma Jiu took a boat along the Beigang River of the Minjiang River, went upriver from the Wulong River (Minjiang South Port), bypassed the South Island, and made a big circle before rushing back to Fuzhou City.

“…… The little shopkeeper was right, the woman really sent someone to follow them, but fortunately I obeyed your orders, made arrangements in advance, and got rid of them without much effort. ”

Shen Xi saw that Ma Jiu had changed all his clothes and pants when he came back, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "Well done, does that woman have any doubts?" ”

Ma Jiu thought for a moment and replied: "There must be suspicions, but I told him a few words of Japanese language, and chatted with an old man dressed as a scholar next to her in Japanese language, and she believed it and rewarded me with a tael of silver before leaving...... Little shopkeeper, the money is here. ”

Although Ma Jiu was born as a gangster, he did not have the slightest intention of greedy for money, and handed over a piece of silver to Shen Xi. Shen Xi waved his hand: "Since it was rewarded by Song Xi'er, you can take it, and when the matter is completed, there will be a reward." In the next step, Song Xi'er will definitely find ways to kidnap the population, and she should not take care of the Chamber of Commerce for the time being. When it's almost over, you go back to contact and try to trick Song Xi'er out. ”

Ma Jiu nodded: "Okay." ”

In order to make the whole plan as reasonable as possible, Shen Xi spent money to ask Ma Jiu to rent a simple house near the Jin'an River wharf outside the city as a contact point. Before making sure that there is no risk in this transaction, Song Xi'er will definitely not come out in person, at most send a capable subordinate to come forward. This requires Ma Jiu to be sleek and sophisticated, improvised, and fool Song Xi'er's subordinates.

After about five or six days, Song Xi'er sent someone to the contact place and agreed that Ma Jiu would meet that night.

Ma Jiu didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly came over to report to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi stroked his chin and thought thoughtfully: "With Song Xi'er's shrewdness, it is impossible to expose the date location early, there must be fraud in it." There must be a problem with this appointment, you don't have to pay attention to it, and then visit after two ****. ”

Ma Jiu asked puzzledly: "Little master, since the woman surnamed Song sent someone, this is avoided...... Will it be a goof? ”

Shen Xi smiled faintly: "It's easy to do bad things when you meet...... You must know that what she is doing now is a head-killing business, and she must be more cautious than anyone else. Any sign of impatience on our part would arouse her suspicions. ”

Ma Jiu didn't seem to understand, but he still followed Shen Xi's instructions that night, and didn't go to the agreed place, but just hid in the grass in the distance early to look.

Sure enough, as Shen Xi said, Song Xi'er sent thirty or forty people, armed with knives, guns, swords, halberds, and ambushed around the agreed place, as if they were preparing to come to a "black eat black", but no one showed up, which made Song Xi'er stunned.

The next day, Shen Xi asked Ma Jiu to go to the blacksmith shop under the name of the Chengxi Chamber of Commerce to retrieve a few newly made long knives, all of which were carefully made according to the extended Japanese knives used by the Japanese Kou on a daily basis, although the sharpness was definitely not comparable, but at least there was no difference in appearance.

In addition, there are several short swords and more than a dozen uniquely shaped ninja darts.

Shen Xi asked Ma Jiu to find a beggar on the street, gave him two yuan, and explained that he would give an additional fifty yuan after delivery, and help send a "gift" to Huaiyang Building.

The beggar was so hungry that he panicked, and when he heard the words, he rushed to Huaiyang Building to give gifts, but he was detained on the spot. The people of Huaiyang Tower immediately escorted the beggar to the appointed location, but unfortunately there was not even a shadow of a ghost on the ground except for a red envelope containing fifty yuan.

The gift was a brocade box containing a short sword and a shuttle dart used by ninjas.

In the next few days, Huaiyang Building was heavily guarded, with additional personnel inside and outside, and there were officers and soldiers patrolling the nearby streets.

You must know that the Japanese invaders killed and plundered all kinds of evil in the coastal areas, and even the officers and soldiers did not dare to defeat them, and even occasionally there would be a scene where the Ming army of the brigade saw a small group of Japanese robbers fleeing in despair.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Xi wrote a second letter in Japanese, criticizing Song Xi'er for "not keeping his word", and agreed on the time and place of the second meeting, saying that Song Xi'er must personally bring "goods" to trade, and there should not be too many people around her, otherwise "you will bear the consequences".

This time to send the letter, Shen Xi originally wanted to let someone else go, because the previous threat of "gift-giving" angered Song Xi'er, and Ma Jiu was likely to be in danger if he went. But Ma Jiu still volunteered:

"Little shopkeeper, it was me last time, and they will definitely be suspicious of this change. Moreover, it is too late for others to learn the Japanese language now. If I have any accidents, please ask the little shopkeeper to talk to the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and ask her to help take care of my married sister...... I'm just such a relative. ”

Ma Jiu's words already have the meaning of entrusting the afterlife.

Shen Xi nodded, now the strategy is one step away from success, you have to take risks, and the kindness of a woman can't do it.

After Ma Jiu set off, Shen Xi calculated that the worst result would be that Ma Jiu would be severely tortured by Song Xi'er, and finally confess to him and the Chamber of Commerce. But Shen Xi has confidence in Ma Jiu, he looks at people and thinks that Ma Jiu is the same as Song Xiaocheng, although he comes from a humble background, he is still reliable in doing things.

Shen Xi fidgeted and didn't come back until the next morning, with injuries on his face and body. After Shen Xi saw the person, he asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

"Little shopkeeper, I didn't say anything...... The wicked woman had no doubt about my identity as a representative of the Japanese people, and she instructed people to torture me in order to force me to tell me the whereabouts of the Japanese people, but I was stubborn, and they had no choice but to give up. At the end of the day, when I took out the letter, they improved their attitude and took me to see the 'goods' they had prepared after making amends. ”

"There are about 50 men and more than 100 women in this batch of 'goods', and I don't know where they came from, all of them are locked up in the dungeon in the backyard of Huaiyang Building. Little shopkeeper, why don't we go to the government and let the people from the government come out? ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "It's useless, since they are willing to let you meet people, it means that they are not afraid of exposing things." If it was reported to the official, the custodian had not yet arrived, and this batch of 'goods' would have disappeared. ”

"Whether these people were really taken captive by them to be sold, or whether they were disguised by their own people, it means that they believe in you. Brother Jiu, you did a good job this time. ”

When Ma Jiu heard Shen Xi's praise, he felt comfortable, and the little injury on his body didn't seem to be nothing: "Sixth brother warns, you must do your best to do things for the little shopkeeper, I just do what I should do!" ”

Shen Xi nodded: "Now it's only the last step...... In the agreed place outside the city, Song Xi'er is insidious and cunning, and may not be able to go out in person, we have to take one step at a time. ”

Ma Jiu asked, "Then I'll go back now and inform the brothers so that they can get ready?" ”

Shen Xi waved his hand: "No, it's too early to call people now, Song Xi'er may be staring at our Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will leak secrets among the brothers." Brother Jiu, you go somewhere now, and ask someone to come over. ”

Ma Jiu went away with questions, and when the third watch rang in the evening, Shen Xi was about to blow out the lamp and go to bed, but the person invited arrived, but it was Yu Niang.

Yu Niang still came in men's clothes, and in the face of Shen Xi's unexpected invitation, her face was full of doubt. Shen Xi closed the door, and Yu Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know, I thought that Shen Gongzi was in a foreign land, lonely and unbearable, and needed the slave family to come over to accompany him." ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Yu Niangyan smiled, I came to you today to discuss important matters." ”

Shen Xi said that Song Xi'er might take people out of the city next, and Yu Niang frowned: "Song Xi'er is cautious, raising dead soldiers in Huaiyang Tower, and some people serve her." Except for the occasional visit to the Fang Commander, she usually does not go out of the gate, what is the strategy of Shen Gongzi's envoy to let her out of the city? ”

Shen Xi said: "I won't say anything about the plan for the time being, but I am short of manpower now, I want to borrow someone from Yu Niang, but Yu Niang must guarantee that this matter cannot have anything to do with Miss Zi, otherwise the matter will definitely be revealed." ”

Yu Niang has been on the Fengyue Field for many years, and as soon as she heard Shen Xi's words, she understood, Shen Xi felt that Zi Qian was not credible, and even colluded with Song Xi'er behind her back.

Yu Niang said helplessly: "It's a pity that the slave family has only come to Fuzhou for a short time, how can I find someone to help Shen Gongzi?" Even if Song Xi'er goes out of the city, there must be a lot of people around her. ”

Shen Xi remained silent: "I don't want many people, just Miss Xi'er alone." ”

Yu Niang was surprised first, and after thinking about it, she seemed to understand something, Xi'er has some skills, and it can come in handy at a critical time.

Yu Niang smiled: "The slave family has already sent her to Shen Gongzi, if the slave family wants to call her, just give orders, why do you need to borrow someone from the slave family?" I'm afraid of her...... If you can't see the scene, it will ruin the child's big thing. ”

Shen Xi Zhengse said: "Yu Niang just needs to borrow people, as for how to do it, I will explain in detail." Yu Niang must remember that this matter must not be disclosed to Miss Zi, even if she asks, she will not know about it. ”

Yu Niang nodded yes, but wondered in her heart: "Why did he repeatedly remind me that I didn't know with my sister...... I'm not a person who doesn't know the importance of it, how dare I show my mouth easily in this kind of thing? ”

After Yu Niang leaves, Shen Xi begins to prepare for the next operation, that is, to design costumes and dialogues for the subsequent meeting.

Shen Xi is going to dress up Xi'er as a female ninja from Dongying, and then let some trusted brothers at the entrance of the Chema Gang change into Japanese clothes, so that it will be difficult for Song Xi'er not to be fooled.

……

……

In the Huaiyang Building, Song Xier was discussing with several confidants.

Song Xi'er sent someone to investigate in detail for a long time, but she still didn't find out which group of widows wanted to do business with her. Originally, she would not accept a transaction of unknown origin, but this time the amount was huge, calculated at 20 taels of silver per person, and the amount involved was as much as more than 3,000 taels of silver, and it was indeed very difficult to resist such a temptation.

Moreover, the Japanese are all over the coastal islands, and it is not easy to inquire where they come from, if the other party really intends to trade, and give up the opportunity to make a lot of money in vain, even Song Xi'er, who has a large amount of money, will still feel heartache.

In the end, there are more people who have been captured this time, and they have been locked up in the dungeon of Huaiyang Building for a long time, I am afraid that there will be some accidents, so it is better to send people out early and settle in the bag.

A stout man in his thirties named Shang Weiqi said: "The master, the kid who came before I was unreliable at first glance, the last time we went to get someone, but it turned out to be empty, what if they didn't show up this time?" ”

A half-hundred old man next to him wearing a Confucian shirt and speaking in a Wu Yue Nong voice said: "No, no, no, let me tell you, the Japanese people are naturally suspicious. I read the letter carefully, it was definitely written by the Japanese people, although the grammar and sentence structure are a little strange, but there is no doubt that it is indeed a Japanese language. ”

Shang Weiqi was a little annoyed: "You are a false Taoist, how can you know the writing of the Japanese people?" ”

The old Confucian replied disdainfully: "If you don't know, you won't allow others to know?" Before I helped the head of the house, I had been doing business with the Dongying people for decades, and of course I knew the words of the Dongying people. I can see that kid before, even if he is not a Dongying person, at least he often deals with Dongying people, and he speaks with Dongying people. ”

"I know the habits of these Dongying people best, I am used to being cautious, usually the first contact will not show up, the second time will appear no matter what, if the business goes well, everything is easy to say, but if something happens, pick up the knife and stab someone. Their long knives are very sharp, and their light and agile skills make them very difficult to handle. ”

Shang Weiqi saw that the old Confucian was right, so he no longer refuted, but asked Song Xi'er's opinion: "Boss, do you think we should go or not?" ”

Song Xi'er said: "Isn't it once or twice to do business with the Japanese people, don't you make money with the money in front of you?" The Japanese only asked me to bring thirty attendants, and you should take fifty men and take them all with you. I don't believe that on our territory, it will turn the Japanese upside down? ”
