"Phew! What kind of martial arts is this? The whole thing is killing, and people in the martial arts don't have such tricks, but it's like a soldier killing those old and weak women and children, phew! Zhou Yuan said angrily on the side, and at some point he took out the chicken leg from his arms and continued to gnaw.

"Murder? Soldier? Desert's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "This 'Absolute Sword' Feng Hatyuan must have been born in the army before!" Only on the battlefield where the two armies in the army are engaged can it be possible to practice such a domineering and direct sword technique, and only in the army can such a master be able to produce such a master so that no one in the martial arts knows!"

"That's right! Definitely!" Zhu Wenyu also slapped his thigh, and said happily: "There is no doubt that he must be a master in the army, this matter is easy to do, I will ask Lao Sun Tou and Lao Mo to see if they have heard of this Feng Hatyuan." ”

"Well, this matter has to be done immediately, this is an important clue, I always feel that this person's power in the Tianyi Alliance is much greater than that of the 'Ruyi Divine Sword' Yu Shixiong." Desert busy.

"Okay, okay, I'll write a letter to someone to send to the old grandson in Chengdu." Zhu Wenyu said.

In the next ten days, Zhu Wenyu was busy mobilizing some Jinyi guards or Ying Tianfu's servants to keep an eye on the Wei Mansion and Xiao Wuya's residence on Huaishu Street outside Xuanwu Gate, etc. The last time the assassination of the emperor in the inner palace spread quietly, I am afraid that there is no official in the capital who does not know the name Zhu Wenyu, everyone knows that he is a popular person around the emperor today, and he is young and capable, and it is said that this person will be used by the emperor is just around the corner, and the future is bright. In addition, he is now the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, although this official rank is not very high, but it is a character that no one dares to offend, so he naturally responds to requests, but Zhu Wenyu himself does not know that he actually has such a great reputation and face, and he thought that these Beijing officials in the court are all good people and are willing to help others.

The desert is still practicing martial arts every day, living in Zhu Wenyu's house, serving with Xiao Gaozi and other family members, and there is no need to worry about eating and lodging, so it is natural to seize the time and practice hard every day, "Iron Hand Tianlong" Xie Fei is not here, Zhou Yuan, as an uncle, has the responsibility to instruct, and he is also careful to teach, so that the desert's martial arts are improving day by day.

Tang Yun and Maya also practice every day, but they are instructed by Nangong Ling, Tang Yun's Tangmen kung fu is unique, Maya has learned a lot of exquisite sword moves from Zhao Min, if it is a single move, Nangong Ling is not necessarily her opponent, but Nangong Ling has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his internal skills are extremely thick, and he is already a first-class master. Naturally, he is qualified to be the master of Tang Yun and Maya for a few days.

Although there are a lot of errand officers and brocade guards who are transferred to stare at the Wei State Mansion and Xiao Wuya's Mansion, there is news every day, but they are all trivial things, and no useful news has been found, this day Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang passed Zhu Wenyu into the palace again, and he is still in the north study where he is reciting death, but at this time, the eunuch who followed Zhu Yuanzhang has been replaced by a big eunuch of about forty, which is about the eunuch "Cao Haiqing" in the south study mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang last time.

"Little monkey, what have you been busy with these days?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually.

"Hehe, go back to the emperor's uncle, I have nothing to do and am idle at home every day." Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.

"You monkey, you don't have anything serious in front of me, and I want me to ask you personally. What do you think? Have you found any news in Xu Da's mansion in the past few days? The assassin last time, what did you say about the head of the Wei State Mansion, is there any news? ”

"Your Majesty, how do you know that I am staring at the Wei Mansion?" Zhu Wenyu was surprised.

"Hmph, can you hide those little actions from me? Do you think Jinyiwei eats dry rice? Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to say with a straight face.

"Hehe, I know, Lord He will definitely tell the emperor's uncle, little monkey, if you can be lazy, you will be lazy. That Manager You left the mansion on the second day after Wei Guogong committed suicide and never came back, which made Xu Zengshou want his life, but he really didn't see him go back to Wei Guogong's mansion. Zhu Wenyu changed into a smiley face again.

"You monkey! I won't tell you if I don't call you. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't cry or laugh, and asked again: "Who is the Xiao Mansion on Huaishu Street outside the Xuanwu Gate?" What does it have to do with the Duke of Wei? ”

"Hehe, you know that, too? There is a person in that mansion who is also a member of the Tianyi Alliance, and he is in the same group as that Manager You, and I want to follow him to find the clues of that Manager You. ”

"Any news?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"I haven't seen anything yet." Zhu Wenyu was suddenly disinterested, and said dejectedly.

"Look at this and see if it works." Zhu Yuanzhang took a piece of paper from the bookcase and threw it to Zhu Wenyu.

The paper fluttered to the ground, Zhu Wenyu took a step forward, stretched out his hand like lightning, and grabbed it in his hand when the paper did not land, spread it out and took a look, only to see a few lines of words densely written on the paper: "Xiao Ningbo, sixty-one years old, Xiaojia Village, Chuyang Shilipu, settled in Yingtianfu (formerly known as Jiqing) in the first year of Hongwu, and opened Sihai Money Village in the silversmith street outside Xi'an Gate in the second year of Hongwu, and also engaged in pawn trading, called Sihai Pawnshop. In the twelfth year of Hongwu, he purchased a Zhuangzi on Huaishu Street outside Xuanwu Gate, and the price was 127,750 taels of silver. It is rumored that Hongwu was bedridden due to wind paralysis in 15 years, and had a son, Xiao Wuya, Chinese New Year's Eve, married, childless, and now the owner of Sihai Qianzhuang and Sihai Pawnshop, business is still good, and there is a Sihai branch in Beiping City, Yangzhou, and Chengdu. Xiao Wuya is cautious, lives in a simple place, and does not travel widely in Beijing, only with Su Zaiming, the owner of the Hengan pawnshop on the side of the Chenghuang Temple, Fu Zhouxing, the owner of the silversmith shop outside the Xi'an Gate, and the owner of the Yunzhai silk shop, and the Guozijian Hanlin Xiang Mingwei and others, among which Xiao Wuya's wife Xiao Fu is the eldest daughter of Fu Zhouxing. ”

Zhu Wenyu was dumbfounded and sighed: "Lord He is really good. Of course he knew that these materials were made by He Wencan, it turned out that he had heard that He Wenhui was Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, and when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, he had always been to inquire about the military situation for Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was quite used by Zhu Yuanzhang, and He Wencan has always followed his brother, so naturally it is not general. The last time He Wencan came to the door to ask to see him, Zhu Wenyu saw that he looked very ordinary and did not have any peculiarities, only then did he know that He Wencan was really not an idle person, and he deserved to specialize in inquiring about the news, not only could he quickly inquire about the other party clearly, but even Zhu Wenyu's own every move could not be hidden.

Zhu Wenyu had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Emperor, can you ask Lord He to do me another favor?" ”

"Huh? Little monkey, tell me what you want to do. Zhu Yuanzhang said as he sat back on the dragon chair behind the bookcase.

"Let Master He check for me Liu Shicheng, the governor of Leshan Prefecture, Sichuan, how is he an official, and who do you have close contacts with?"

"Huh?" Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that he came from a humble background and did not read much, he was very smart and shrewd, and when he heard Zhu Wenyu's words, he couldn't help but be alert: "Liu Shicheng? What's wrong with this person? ”

"It's okay, Your Majesty, it's okay." Zhu Wenyu smiled and said: "It's the last time I returned to Beijing from Sichuan along the east of the Yangtze River, passed through Leshan, and saw that he doubled the freight tax on the Minjiang River, I felt strange, and I pressed fifty percent of my own opinion, hehe, I haven't told your old man about this yet." ”

"Double?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and angry, although he had never made a living on the water, he didn't know how much of this tax should be collected, but he doubled the tax at every turn, which is also a very rare thing, even if this tax is set by the Sichuan locality, at least there will be an excerpt to say, but he doesn't know at all? I ordered Liu Shicheng to return to Beijing to report on his work! The taxes will be lowered to their original state first, and we will wait for my will. Cao Haiqing, now the purpose! In addition, he drafted a decree to Hu Weiyong, so that he could send a decree to officials in various places with the imperial court's order, saying that in the future, the land of the Ming Dynasty will be taxed, and the local government shall not change at will, if it needs to be increased or decreased, it must be reported to the imperial court, and the decree of the imperial court can be promulgated, and the offender will be punished with the crime of bullying the king! This group of eight lambs who have no king's law, no one takes the people's parents seriously when they don't see blood!"

"Yes." The great eunuch Cao Haiqing poured the dust and bowed down.

"Wait, wait, Your Majesty, Liu Shicheng will wait for a while." Zhu Wenyu hurriedly shouted.

"What? What else? Zhu Yuanzhang asked strangely, not paying attention to something like Zhu Wenyu stopping the Son of Heaven from making an order in court for a while is definitely a big crime of "great disrespect", but even if he notices it, with Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Zhu Wenyu's monkey nature, I am afraid that he will lightly expose it and omit it.

"Liu Shicheng asked Sichuan political envoy Wei Zhengxing to inquire about it first, don't be in a hurry to transfer back to Beijing, Uncle Emperor, let's let Lord He inquire about Liu Shicheng's close contacts with who Liu Shicheng has close ties with first, okay?" Seeing that Cao Haiqing, who was about to go out, stopped him, Zhu Wenyu salivated and smiled.

"What? Why do you want to check this? Could it be that this Liu Shicheng is also related to the Tianyi League, right? Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I'm just guessing, maybe it's a little related, right? Check it out to find out. Although Zhu Wenyu was 100% sure in his heart that this Liu Shicheng must be related to Tianyimeng, Yu Shixiong, and Xiao Wuya, he didn't want to talk too much before he found out, so he just smiled and said.
