Chapter 267: Thieves Don't Go Empty
Dai Chunfeng naturally didn't know that the emperor and Lu Xiangsheng were discussing him, he was born poor, and the emperor gave him a chance, of course he would hold on tightly, and at the same time give all his loyalty to the emperor. Whether it is in Luzon or Malacca or even Goa, he is personally out to collect intelligence, he does have a talent for this, he can always predict danger, always find the weakest link of the other party, and then break through to get the information he needs.
He returned to the Military Statistics Survey Bureau and called his henchman Xu Pengmin and said: "This time I am going to Chahar on a business trip, we are in Chahar with dark eyes, so Jinyiwei will open their intelligence information to us, this opportunity is very good, you find some subordinates with excellent memory, write down Jinyiwei's information to me, and fill in our blanks first." ”
Xu Pengmin said happily: "There is such a good thing? After our Mongolian information is also complete, then the information of the whole country is complete, and we don't have Jinyiwei. ”
Dai Chunfeng said: "If Jinyiwei needs our information in the South China Sea, we must also provide it to them selflessly. We are in competition with them, but we must also pay attention to cooperation, everyone is for His Majesty the Emperor, and we cannot hide anything that is beneficial to the country. Mongolian materials are not available in the whole country, and there are both Wusizang and Duogan commanding envoys. ”
Xu Pengmin said: "The subordinates are willing to go to Wusizang and Duogan to collect information. ”
Dai Chunfeng said with a smile: "Wait for the Mongolian affairs, after you are familiar with the situation in Mongolia, you will go to Wusizang, this place is extremely important, Your Majesty left Lin Dan Khan, is to drive him to establish contact with Zangba Khan, so as to take the opportunity to intervene in Wusizang, you will have a chance then." ”
Xu Pengmin came to Jinyiwei with ten agents from the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau, and Luo Sigong personally took them to the Information Bureau Meng Yuanke said: "All the information is here, if necessary, it can be copied here." ”
Xu Pengmin said: "Thank you Commander Luo, if Jinyiwei needs it in the future, the intelligence of our Military Survey and Statistics Bureau can also be shared with you." ”
Luo Sigong said with a smile: "It's all for Your Majesty, so naturally we have to communicate with each other." ”
After Xu Pengmin thanked him, he took someone to check the information, whether it was related to the jade seal of the country, and copied all the information first.
Although he used a fountain pen, it took him more than ten days to copy all the Mongolian materials, and after the materials were copied, he began to find out the parts related to the jade seal of the country, and then reported it to Dai Chunfeng.
Chahar's request was approved by the Ming Emperor, and Erke Kongol was appointed as the Jinong of the Chahar Ministry, and Chahar was also qualified to conduct full-scale trade with the Ming Dynasty. Dai Chunfeng took Xu Pengmin and others to form a caravan and entered the Chahar tribe.
The Chahar Department has been blocked for a long time, and the arrival of the caravan has made the tribes happy, as long as it is Han goods, those nobles such as Taiji do not care about the price at all, and it is not the turn of ordinary herdsmen to buy them for a while. Dai Chunfeng's caravan sold out of goods in only two days, exchanging a large number of cattle, horses, and skins.
On the first day, Dai Chunfeng hooked up with one of Su Tai's maids, and when the two of them were in the haystack at night, they had already explored the situation in Su Tai's big tent. The next night, while the Mongols were singing and dancing to celebrate the exchange, Dai Chunfeng sneaked into Sutai's tent.
The tent was empty, and Dai Chunfeng quickly searched carefully in several places where the precious items might have been kept, and soon found a small, locked box. His eyes lit up, and he took out a wire and opened the box with ease.
There is a jade seal in the box, on which is written "Emperor's Seal". Dai Chunfeng was overjoyed, wrapped it carefully, then locked the box and carefully restored it to its original state.
After leaving the tent and returning to the station, Xu Pengmin asked, "Boss, you have succeeded." ”
Dai Chunfeng took out the jade seal, examined it carefully for a while, and was sure that it was something from the Central Plains. Only then did he nod and said, "I'll leave tonight, you are still here, and I will slowly go back with the goods tomorrow, they will not embarrass you." ”
Xu Pengmin nodded, tied the three horses, the kettle and food, and slowly led out of the tribe. Dai Chunfeng checked the jade seal in his arms again, got on the horse and headed south.
After attending the meeting, Su Tai returned to the tent and lit a candle to examine it carefully, and saw that the two white cow hairs in the place where the box was placed had moved its direction, and his heart moved, and when he opened the box, he saw that it was empty. She was sure that this scourge had finally been stolen, and she would no longer have to be afraid from now on, and Emperor Daming would naturally no longer be embarrassed to ask the Chahar Ministry to pass on the jade seal.
Dai Chunfeng changed horses all the way and finally saw the Great Wall. Only then did he put his mind at ease, and after crossing the Great Wall, he first rested in Longhua County, ate something, and then continued to gallop towards Beijing.
The next afternoon, he finally entered the city, he went straight to the palace, and in front of the palace gate, he happened to see Wei Zhongxian coming in from outside the city, and said with great joy: "Factory Gong, Xia Guan just has something to see the emperor, please take me into the palace." ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Director Dai, what is the matter with you entering the palace." ”
Dai Chunfeng took out the jade seal and said: "Factory Father, the emperor wants to go to the grassland to do business, and after getting this jade seal, please ask the factory official to present it on behalf of the official." "He has always wanted to have a good relationship with Dongchang and Jinyiwei, so if he has this opportunity, he naturally has to seize it.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the jade seal and said, "The Sprinkle family took Director Dai in, as for this jade seal, it is better for the director to hand it over to the saint in person." The credit of the Sprinkle family is enough, but they dare not share Director Dai's. ”
Dai Chunfeng thought that he was holding the posture, so he said: "The successful completion of the task this time is inseparable from the help of Jinyiwei, so the credit of the factory is the first." ”
Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said: "Director Dai's kindness is well understood, and in the future, the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau will have to be intimate with Dongchang and Jin Youwei, but you should pay the credit yourself." The saint has always said to the Sprinkle family that it is his own credit that others can't take it away, and other people's things can't be greedy. The Sprinkle family is a freak, and he can gain the trust of the saint, and he is already content in his heart. Come, I'll take you to the Holy One. ”
Dai Chunfeng secretly scolded himself for being a villain in vain, and followed Wei Zhongxian into the palace. After Zhu Youxiao saw this jade seal, he held it in his hand and joked: "The spring breeze really lives up to my expectations, and it can be regarded as a shot that is not empty." ”
Dai Chunfeng thanked the emperor for his praise, but he was thinking in his heart, this is scolding himself for being a thief, but didn't you instruct me to be a thief? He wronged Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao didn't know that there was a saying that thieves don't go empty, he just wanted to praise Dai Chunfeng for making a move.
