Fortunately, the power of the waterspout is far from that of the tornado, and the time is also very short, so it did not cause irreparable damage.

After listening to He Xinyin's explanation, Shen Mo couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a big world, there are no wonders." ”

"Anyway," He Xinyin glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Thank you this time." ”

"You're welcome." Shen Mo smiled and said, "You are my big brother He." ”

He Xinyin's face only gave a smile, and then he heard Shen Mo say: "Brother He just said, it's Yan Shifan's people chasing you?" ”

"Hmm." He Xinyin nodded and said: "That Yan Shifan was bold and was sentenced by the imperial court to be assigned to Leizhou, but he fled back to Jiangxi halfway and lived in Nanchang City. ”

"I've heard of this," Shen Mo sighed softly, "but the emperor is unwilling to pursue their father and son anymore, and orders that no one can be impeached, so he can only let it go." ”

"It is your indulgent attitude that has led to today's crisis!" He Xinyin said in a fierce voice: "That bullshit holy decree issued by Emperor Dum Jun is like giving Yan Shifan a gold medal to avoid death!" He pointed to the west and said, "Do you know whose fief Nanchang City was originally in?"

"King Ning......" said silently.

"It's good to know, when King Ning didn't rebel, he vigorously recruited dead soldiers, cultivated bandits and gangs in Jiangxi, and turned a good hometown of poetry and books into the largest bandit den in the country. Later, although Yang Ming Gong quickly quelled the rebellion, the tradition of unearthed bandits here has been laid down since then, and it is known as the master of nine gangs, eight factions and sixteen caves, with a total number of tens of thousands. He Xinyin said in a deep voice: "Originally, these gangs had no leader and attacked each other, but it didn't become a climate, but as soon as Yan Shifan came back, he didn't know what means he used, so he subdued all these gangsters, and he became the chief scoop of Jiangxi bandits!" ”

"What evidence?" Shen Mo asked lightly: "You know, without conclusive evidence, all accusations against Yan Shifan will be regarded as slander." ”

"If it weren't for the evidence gathering, would I have ended up in such a field? He Xinyin glared at him and said: "He built a huge mansion in Nanchang City, not to mention the serious overstepping, and he also raised outlaws in it, built armor, and trained day and night, but because of the heavy garrison, he has not been able to explore and compete. Saying that, he took a sip of tea and said: "The day before yesterday, I suddenly found an abnormality, so I couldn't take care of it and forcibly touched it?" ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Mo had no choice but to speak.

"Although the guards inside are still there, they are basically empty," He Xinyin said: "In the barracks on the periphery, there is no one in sight, so I and my sister went inside to investigate, and finally in the study of the inner mansion, I heard two people talking...... Guess which two people it is? Shen Mo was quite speechless about He Daxia's problem, so he had to talk again: "Which two people?" ”

"Yan Song and Yan Shifan." Fortunately, He Xinyin's information is quite **, which makes Shen Mo feel that it is worth the fare.

"What did they say?" The silent expression suddenly became serious.

"There was a quarrel between father and son." He Xinyin said: "I wanted to get closer and listen, but it was heavily guarded, so I was discovered. He spread his hands and said, "Then I was chased all the way here." ”

"So you mean, didn't hear anything?" Shen Mo said in disappointment.

"That's not the case," He Xinyin said, "At least I saw one thing, that is, Elder Yan Yan has been placed under house arrest. ”

"Really?" Shen Mo's eyes widened and said, "How can you see it?" ”

"What a cautious guy," He Xinyin smiled at Lu Lianxin, "I just said it, without something real, you can't impress him." Saying Zhengse, he said: "Because we saw that the door of the study was originally locked, Yan Shifan opened it, and Yan Ge Lao was inside." ”

"Please, don't flashback next time, okay?" Shen Mo said helplessly: "Okay, let me summarize, you heard that Yan Shifan is building a mansion in violation of regulations, and he is also training day and night to build armor...... "Why is it so familiar." ”

"You don't think I'm lying to you, do you?" He Xinyin glared at him.

"Don't be impatient. Shen Mo said: "I have already received a similar piece of information, but it is not Yan Shifan, but King Yi. ”

"King Yi also has a strange ......" He Xinyin asked in a deep voice, "Is there a connection between the two?" ”

"It's hard to say." Shen said silently: "But if Yan Shifan really puts Yan Song under house arrest, it must be a splash." ”

"It's not if, it's a fact," He Xinyin said dissatisfiedly, "Don't question my conclusions." ”

"Okay," Shen Mo smiled bitterly, "What we have to do now is to find out the movements of those outlaws he has raised, and only by doing this well first can we have the next step to consider." ”

"No, no, you should inform Jinyiwei and control Yan Shifan first." He Xinyin said: "The snake can't be without a head, he is the point." ”

"First, after you were exposed, Yan Shifan is no longer in Nanchang now." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Second ......" said with a light sigh: "If there was no problem with Jinyiwei, would things have developed to this day?" ”

He Xin was stunned and said in a low voice: "You mean, Jinyiwei also has a problem." ”

"Jinyiwei is now under the jurisdiction of Dongchang," said in a deep voice: "I don't know much about the things inside, but based on the situation in Jiangxi and Henan, it is impossible that there will be no problems here." As he spoke, he stood up and paced two steps with his hands in his hands before slowly standing up and saying, "I suspect that there is a huge, dangerous, and long-planned conspiracy, which has been arranged, and is just waiting for the prey to collide head-on!" ”

"Their goal is ......" He Xinyin swallowed hard and spat out, "What is it?" The atmosphere in the cabin seemed to be stagnant, and several people could even feel their own heartbeats, He Xinyin and Lu Lianxin both looked at Shen Mu, hoping that he could give the final conclusion and come up with a good way, because the past years have proved that this person always has a way to complete seemingly impossible tasks.

But this time, after pondering for a long time, he said slowly with a solemn face: "Our current observation position is too low, like a blind man touching an elephant, and it is impossible to find out their true intentions. After a pause, he said: "And any error in judgment will cause unpredictable consequences......

"Are we not going to do anything?" He Xinyin frowned.

"Of course not." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "I will rush to Huguang immediately and try to make the emperor alert." ”

"That's great." Lu Lianxin couldn't help but cheer: "As long as the emperor himself is vigilant, it will be difficult for those people to harm him." ”

"Not so optimistic...... Shen Mo sighed softly, "No one knows what the situation is there, and we have to be prepared for what happens." ”

"What? You guess they've already done it to the emperor? He Xinyin's eyes widened.

"I said just in case," Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Let's agree, if there is no news of me within ten days, you will rush to the capital and ask Xu Ge Lao to prepare for the situation." As he spoke, he sighed and said, "I can't imagine what will happen on that day." ”

He Xinyin and his wife obviously felt that Shen Mo had a heavy psychological burden this time, they thought that he was worried about the fate of the country, so Lu Lianxin comforted him and said: "God bless the Ming, there are so many loyal people, the emperor will be fine." "Tracking down the affairs of Yan Shifan's subordinates is on me." He Xinyin also put away his cynical expression, and whispered to Shen Mo: "It's you, you have to pay attention to your own safety." ”

Shen Mo nodded and smiled: "I know, let's go our separate ways." ”

"Okay." He Xinyin also nodded heavily and said, "Then let's go our separate ways." ”

When He Xinyin and his wife were sent away, the sky was already full of stars, and they stood silently at the bow of the boat for a long time. At this moment, his mood is very heavy, because with his poor historical knowledge, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has not had any royal turmoil after the Ning King incident, and now it seems that because of his own appearance, history has been messed up. Xavier walked up to him and whispered, "It seems that something big is about to happen." ”

"Hmm......" Shen Mo took a deep breath of the slightly damp night breeze and said, "There are some bad signs, priest, I will leave you in Wuchang, and when the matter is over, I will send someone to pick you up." ”

Xavier's expression froze, and he said, "No, no, my lord, take me with you, I hope to do a little bit for you......

"I appreciate your kindness," Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "But this is our country's business, you are a foreigner, there is no need to get involved." ”

"I don't agree with what my lord said," Xavier insisted: "I have linked my life's work with Daming, so I am duty-bound to Daming." ”

Shen Mo looked at him with a smile and said, "There may be danger." ”

"I've encountered more dangers," Xavier said, "than I've ever been to more countries." ”

"It could also be fatal." Silent laughter.

"I've died several times." Xavier shrugged his shoulders slightly.

"If you die, what will happen to your missionary career?" He smiled silently.

"If the Lord thinks I'm doing the right thing, he'll keep me safe." Xavier drew a crossroads.

Shen Mo had nothing to say at this time, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to sleep first, there are still two days away from Wuchang, and you still have time to think about it." With that, he walked to his room.

"There's nothing more to think about," Xavier shouted at the silent back with a resolute expression, "I can feel that I am about to participate in a piece of history, and we have a proverb: there is great danger, so great is the opportunity!" My lord, this is my own choice, and I am willing to bear all the consequences. ”

Shen Mo didn't turn around, just waved at him and entered his room. Four days later, Shen Mo and his entourage quietly arrived at Huguang Anlu, which was originally not famous, but because of a Jiajing Emperor, he was able to ascend to heaven and was promoted to Chengtianfu, and Shuntianfu in Beijing, Yingtianfu in Nanjing, and called the three directly governed mansions of the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as a flourishing moment.

In order to conform to its noble status, in the past 40 years, Chengtianfu has been expanded several times, the city wall is majestic and profound, the building is renovated, the vermilion wall and blue tiles can be seen everywhere, the carved beams and painted buildings, although there is some nouveau riche taste, but people dare not underestimate it. At this moment, it is even more solemn, solemn and majestic because the emperor's provincial relatives and forbidden troops are stationed here.

At this moment, the guards inside and outside the city were heavily guarded, and the royal forest guards covered in gold armor took over the original defenders and took on the task of defending the city. ”

When Shen Mo and his party entered the city, they encountered a small trouble, although there were documents proving their identity as accompanying Hu Nantour, and there were fake notes approved by Yuan Wei, but because his entourage was too large and each carried prohibited weapons, the captain of the Imperial Forest refused to let him go - either Shen Mo led no more than five guards into the city, or none of them were allowed to enter.

Shen Mo called the captain aside and said with a smile: "I am old friends with you Lord Xu, General Lu, and Commander Zhou. Saying that there was no fireworks, he sent a silver ticket to the captain, and said with a smile: "We will be friends in the future, right?" ”

The lieutenant saw the denomination of the silver ticket, and when he saw it, he was overjoyed, and said with a flattering smile: "What the lord said is that I didn't see it this time, you and your people, go in quickly, don't let those eunuchs see it, but it's a big trouble." ”

Shen Mo nodded and said, "I won't trouble you."

"That's good, that's good." The lieutenant winked at his subordinates, and Shen Mo waved his hand at the three feet in the distance, and thirty guards and Xavier rushed into the city.

Shen Mo was not in a hurry to leave, but accosted the lieutenant: "Listen to what you mean, now the eunuchs are in charge of the city defense?" "If you spend money, you have to maximize the utility.

"Not really." The captain looked into the distance and whispered: "Now not only the city defense, but also the palace ban and the escort troops, are all decided by the father-in-law."

"Then the generals will agree?" Shen Mo frowned and said, "How can my Jiajing Dynasty have eunuchs again?" ”

"Oh, my lord, what are you asking so for? The captain saw a eunuch coming over in the distance, and hurriedly pushed Shen Mo and said, "Let's go, anyway, it was like this a few days ago, there is a holy decree and a flag, and you can't fake it." ”

"Okay, thank you." Shen Mo didn't want to meet those eunuchs, although he had a beard and hung the corners of his eyes, he would inevitably be recognized by someone who cared about it, so he quickly walked into the city and blended into the flow of people.

He signaled the guards not to follow too closely, and he wandered around the newly renovated Chengtianfu City, but saw that the street was full of brand-new blue brick walls, painted with white powder, and the walls were shaded by green trees, which were impermeable, and traces of new construction could be seen everywhere.

Silence is from the south gate into the city, after the dedication of the emperor to fund the construction, Jiajing Emperor personally inscribed the Xuanmiao Guanyuanyou Palace, you can see the emperor's hidden residence Xingwang Palace, is also the palace where the emperor is stationed in the year.

Stopping in front of the Xuanmiao Temple for a moment, looking at the magnificent palace gate for a moment, Shen Mo resolutely turned around and went in the opposite direction.

Sanchi hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice, "My lord, don't go and sell the fake." "According to the original plan, after entering the city, they will immediately cancel their leave to Yuan Wei, restore the identity of the chaperone, and then immediately try to see the emperor, and send a warning to Jiajing, believing that with the fear of death of the Son of Heaven and suspicion, even if there is no evidence, the emperor will be immediately vigilant.

But Shen Mo obviously changed his mind, and said to Sanchi: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's find a place to live first." "There are two Mochou lakes in Daming, one in Yingtianfu; One is in Chengtianfu, the former is of course more famous than the latter, but the latter is not necessarily inferior to the former. In the north of Fucheng City, a clear blue water is as clear as a mirror, the hundred islands on the lake are handsome, the water and the sky are one color, the buildings look at each other across the water, the painting boats compete for the strange and beautiful, there are singing and dancing everywhere, the silk and bamboo are leisurely, that is the ministers who accompany the southern tour, can not bear the seduction of this beautiful scenery, meet to drink and have fun on the tide, for a time it really makes people mistakenly think that this is the Mochou Lake in Jinling City, and mistakenly make Chengtian a day.

A very inconspicuous double-decker painting boat, floating aimlessly on this lake, with music and singing on board, looks no different from other pleasure boats, but if you enter the heavy curtain of the two-story painting boat, you will find that the atmosphere here is incompatible with the whole lake, only a strong and capable man in a strong suit, and a young man who is undressing.

This is exactly Shen Mo and his loyal guards, considering that the city is full of Dongchang fans, it is impossible to distinguish which is the ordinary people, which is the secret agent of the factory guard, so there are so many of them, whether they are staying in an inn or renting a house, they will quickly attract the attention of those who are interested.

"My lord, why did we change our minds?" After serving Shen Mo and washing his face, Sanchi was finally able to ask the doubts in his heart.

"At the moment I was observing, two groups of ministers were about to enter the palace, but they were all blocked back." Silent slender fingers tapped the table, and said lightly: "Seeing that their emotions are very excited, there seems to be something going on in the palace, out of prudence, I decided not to enter the palace for the time being." He said to Sanchi: "There are many officials playing on this lake, you try to probe and see if you can find anything." After a pause, he said: "Also, try to contact Gao Butang, at least find out his current situation." ”

"Yes." The three-foot deep voice should fall.
