Chapter 633: Pressing Forward

Hu Zongxian was stunned for a long time: "What does this mean? But are there any allusions? But I don't know."

Xiao Feng was also stunned, he and Hu Zongxian were both well-educated people, and the two of them combined, I am afraid that there are no allusions that I don't know.

But is this an allusion? If it weren't for the allusions, it would be even more difficult to understand. It's that I know every word, and I look confused when I put it together.

Hu Zongxian reacted first: "Brother Xiao, have you ever agreed with Lao Dao on any code words? This is obviously a code word, for fear of being intercepted." new

Xiao Feng also thought of this, but the possibility of the pigeon being intercepted is very small, the poem in front of him, even the news of Xiao Dong's escape, Lao Dao didn't use any code words.

That can only mean one thing, this note, if it falls into the hands of others, I am afraid that it will be much bigger than the ventilation report of that poem, and even the matter of Xiao Dong's escape!

Xiao Feng's eyes fell on the Taiji diagram, as a letter to the concept of joining the WTO, and drawing a small Taiji diagram on the letter, everyone would think it was normal, just like an official logo.

Even if it falls into the hands of others, they will only think that this view of the world is present in every letter, and they will not pay attention to it.

But Xiao Feng knew that there was no other letter. So what does this Taiji diagram mean?

Two fish, one black and one white, are connected together with their heads and tails, yin and yang, positive and negative......

Xiao Feng picked up the pen and wrote a new word under each word under the note.

"I am slightly correct in the millennium, whether I will return or not, it is late.

Long live if you suspect that you are rebelling, don't come back, rebel quickly."

Hu Zongxian was so frightened that he sat on the chair and raised his head to look at Xiao Feng.

The meaning in his eyes was: Look, after analyzing it for a long time, maybe I'm right! Hooray, this is going to hide the bow of the bird!

Xiao Feng looked at the note blankly, and then slowly crumpled the note, his face turned pale, and his eyes were confused for the first time.

Hu Zongxian asked softly, "This word...... It's similar to the handwriting on the back of a piece of paper."

Xiao Feng nodded: "Just looking at the handwriting, it is indeed the second master. Did he discover anything new?

These two letters have not been long apart, so what will happen at this time?"

Yan Shiqing never imagined that one day he would end up in such a tragic situation because he helped Yan Shifan foster his son.

He is Yan Shifan's distant cousin, and he almost came out of five suits. And Yan Shifan chose his family to foster Yan Allegiance, just because their eight characters are better.

The fortune teller said that Yan Shiqing's eight characters are good, and it is the life of the fifth son. But when he gave birth to four sons, Yan Shifan told him, don't have any more children.

Then send Yan Xiaozhong to his house and tell him that this will be your fifth son in the future. Since you have the life of five sons, naturally all five sons can grow up.

Yan Shiqing doesn't care, his family is not rich, and the fifth son Dengke is just a statement.

In recent years, there are more than five sons, and they are still too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, so they are a fart department.

But fostering Yan Shifan's son, it was very different. With a wave of his hand, Yan Shifan gave Yan Shiqing's family 1,000 taels of silver every year, and all the medical expenses were reimbursed.

Therefore, Yan Shiqing's family not only regarded this sick and broken child, who had three disasters and seven tribulations, not only as his own, but as his ancestors.

Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha every day, I hope that Yan Xiaozhong can persist for another year, and this mentality is no different from the families of old cadres with rich pensions.

But when Yan Shifan was beheaded and Yan Song lived in the tomb room, the annuity of 1,000 taels of silver naturally did not exist, and Yan Xiaozhong suddenly became a money-loser.

Because Yan Xiaozhong's body is too weak and there are too many diseases, he relies on taking medicine. Now that the public-funded medical care is gone, it all depends on Yan Shiqing's family to buy medicine, and the pressure is naturally very great.

Yan Shiqing saw that if he continued like this, he would return to poverty due to illness, so naturally he would not be able to take the medicine for Yan Xiaozhong as before.

To tell the truth, Yan Shiqing is much better than many snobs, at least he didn't kick Yan Xiaozhong out of the house, just treated him as one

Ordinary children came to treat.

The medicine should be bought and bought, but there is definitely no ginseng soup, pearl powder, deer antler wine and the like. Whatever medicine ordinary people take when they are sick, you can take whatever medicine you take.

But Yan Xiaozhong's body and bones have long been nourished by 100% reimbursement of expensive medicines, and the old cadres can't use domestic medicines, and they see that they are not as good as day by day.

Yan Shiqing had no choice but to pray silently in his heart.

Cousin, your crime is so big, I didn't drive my eldest nephew away, and it was interesting enough to take the risk and continue to raise him. If something happens one day, you have to forgive me!

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaozhong's accident came so quickly, and Yan Shifan didn't say whether to forgive or not, Jin Yiwei came to the door and directly arrested Yan Shiqing's entire family.

Yan Shiqing was frightened, thinking that the Yan Party had been restored again, otherwise how could Yan Xiaozhong's death send Jinyi Wei to hold himself accountable?

He shouted loudly: "The death of allegiance has nothing to do with me, he died of illness, it's not that I don't want to give him ginseng and deer antler velvet, it's that I really can't afford it......

Lu Bing looked at him coldly, "When did Yan Xiaozhong die? How did you die?"

Yan Shiqing cried and said, "Just three days ago, he suddenly came to me, kowtowed to me, and said.

'Uncle, I dreamed last night that my father was suffering in the underworld, and I asked me to help him avenge his grievances. I'm coming up tonight.

When I die, don't bury me. Put me on the offering table at the temple and go home, don't wait there, it will be bad luck for your whole family." "

I thought he was talking nonsense, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but I didn't expect that he would really die that night!

I cried, took his brothers with me, sent him to the offering table at the City God Temple, and ran back.

The next morning, when I went to look again, his body was gone! I was afraid that I would not be able to tell the local government clearly, so I did not report the death of the family member.

To others, he only said that someone from the Yan family in Jiangxi picked him up. Who knew that he had actually entered the capital, he was obviously dead, and he had no pulse!"

Lu Bing naturally asked people to use some means to verify whether Yan Shiqing's words were true. But the family was tossed to tears, crying and shouting, but they did not change their words.

And the husband and wife plus four sons, the statement of the six people is completely consistent. Even the details of a wild cat in the temple that scared them when they were sent to the temple that night were exactly the same.

Based on Lu Bing's experience, the family told the truth, and he stopped continuing the execution, but just locked them in prison and waited for testimony.

The way to arrest Lao Dao and Xiao Dong was very unsmooth, and when Zhao Baihu arrived at the WTO Entry Temple with Jin Yiwei, Lao Dao and Xiao Dong were gone.

Zhao Baihu secretly searched for many places, but found nothing.

The only thing that has a little hope is the good hall that has been abandoned, and the old way has indeed gone back, but Zhao Baihu is a step late.

Therefore, Zhao Baihu can only reasonably speculate that Lao Dao has fled with Xiaodong, and he also reported to Lu Bing like this.

With the previous conversation with his son, Lu Bing was not surprised by this, but just issued an order in the Jinyiwei system to search for him strictly.

Lu Bing did not let the criminal department go to the sea to catch the paperwork, because Jiajing did not want this matter to be known to the world. He only put Jinyiwei in charge of this matter, which is to leave room for follow-up. c0m

On the other hand, Jin Yiwei had indeed arrived at the Xia family's hometown clan in Jiangxi at this time, and found the patriarch to ask about the Xia Yan family.

The patriarch is in his sixties, not as old as Xia Yan, and after listening to Jinyiwei's questioning, he said that he remembered things very late, and his father had to know about these things.

The retired old patriarch was over eighty years old, and when Jin Yiwei entered the door, he was lying on the bed and humming, and after listening to Jin Yiwei's question, he blinked his old eyes.

"Alas, the old decay is really too old, and I really can't remember these things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains. Anyone who can know about this must be around eighty.

But in this case, the official might as well rest for the time being, and wait for the old man to find these old people together and reminisce?"

Jin Yiwei felt that it was very reasonable, so he went to rest first, and the old patriarch immediately asked his son to find all the old people over eighty years old in the clan.

Life is rare for seventy years, and at that time, it was definitely a long life to live to be eighty years old, and there were only five people in the whole clan.

The old patriarch set down the food and invited the elder brother to drink. Everyone was amazed, because since the age of eighty, the family did not let the old people drink alcohol.

As a big family, when there is no need for food and clothing, the longevity of the elderly is the glory of their children, and the children certainly don't want their ancestors to have an accident because of a sip of wine.

The old patriarch looked at him for a while: "Lao Tzu is not afraid, are you afraid of a fart?" Is any of you older than me? If any of you children are not satisfied, let them come to me!"

There was no one else, and they were indeed very greedy, so they half-pushed and half-picked up the wine glasses, and made reluctant expressions, but their eyes were staring at the old patriarch's hand pouring wine, for fear that he would tremble and pour less for himself.

After a few glasses of wine, the old people found a sense of youth, and naturally talked more. The old man of this age is together, mainly talking about the past.

As he spoke, the old patriarch suddenly sighed and said, "If you want to say that the most promising person in our clan, it must be Xia Yan, but it is a pity that he was harmed by the female cadre."

The old men were all taken aback: "Brother Shen Yan, you can't talk nonsense, Xia Yan is still a sinner after all, don't let people say that we have grudges."

The old patriarch sneered, "I'm afraid of a fart, justice is in the hearts of the people! Not to mention our own family, we are people in the world, how many people don't know that Xia Yan died unjustly?"

Everyone was silent, and the old patriarch poured another glass of wine for everyone, and suddenly said.

"How many sons does the Xia Ding family have, do you remember?"

Several old men looked at each other, and one of them said, "I think it seems to be two, and one was driven away......

The old patriarch slammed the wine glass on the table: "Nonsense, Xia Ding only has one son! It's Xia Yan!"

The Xia family is a big family, and it is a military member, although Jiangxi is far away from the capital, but there are many people in the clan who make a living in the capital, and they have naturally heard about what happened in the capital.

It's just that they didn't expect Jinyiwei to come so quickly, and they didn't expect the old patriarch to let them lie openly, so they were a little hesitant for a while.

An old man said, "We naturally understand what my brother means. It's just that this is the crime of deceitful king, we are all people who are just a nail in the coffin, but what about the children and grandchildren?"

The old patriarch smiled and said, "If you lie and deceive the officials, then you are naturally guilty, but we are all seventy or eighty people, and we can't remember things, what kind of crime is it?"

The old men suddenly realized and said yes again and again, but one of them was still not very reassured.

"Brother, I heard that Jinyiwei's methods are powerful, can we carry these old bones?"

The old patriarch nodded and smiled, "I don't know if you can bear it, anyway, I'm enough to choke. So today I'm going to drink to my heart's content."

After speaking, the old patriarch toasted three times in a row, his face flushed, and he laughed. Several old men looked at each other and smiled, and also raised their wine glasses, and persuaded each other to drink.

They recalled the absurdities of their youth, the career of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the glory and pride of the Xia family.

The children and grandchildren of the old patriarch came several times to persuade the old people to stop drinking, but they were all driven out by the old patriarch with a cane, and they could only smile helplessly.

The next morning, the old patriarch passed away. Several other elderly people also fell on their stomachs due to excessive drinking. People in their last years can't stand such excitement and drunkenness.

When Jin Yiwei went to interrogate, the old people insisted that they had never heard that Xia Ding had a second son.

Jin Yiwei has the intention of taking people away for interrogation, but not to mention that the children are not allowed to stop them, even they themselves feel that there is no need.

These old people don't seem to have a few days to live, and if they really get to prison, they may have to run out of gas before they can be tortured.

The commanding envoy's order is not to make a big fuss, and to try to be as quiet as possible. Since it is not possible to arrest people on a large scale, there is no need to arouse the public indignation of the whole clan.

For this reason, the local Jinyi Wei people could only write a report, saying that the old people of the Xia family couldn't think about it

When there is such a thing, do you have to use some means?

Lu Bing received a reply and rejected the proposal to use means. The "means of action" of Jinyiwei contains two meanings.

First, they grasped the evidence, and forced the confession out through the execution, making it an ironclad case.

The second is that there is no evidence, but the emperor wants this person to be guilty, so he has to find someone to do perjury and complete the chain of evidence.

Lu Bing vetoed the means, firstly, because those old men could not afford to be tortured, although Jinyiwei was not afraid of the dead, he also did not like useless dead people.

The second is that this time the matter is very sensitive, and it is difficult to say whether the emperor wants this matter to be true, so it is better to remain objective.

At this time, Lu Bing also happened to receive Xiao Feng's letter, and he did not delay and immediately sent it to Xiyuan.

Jiajing frowned and read the letter, and also fell into a deep contradiction.

From his heart, he must also hope to expand the territory and eliminate Japan. But he is an emperor after all, and he is still a very shrewd emperor.

The expedition to Japan means that Xiao Feng's military power will be further expanded, and the original temporary commander of the world's soldiers and horses will be extended indefinitely.

Everyone was against Xiao Feng's military power before, and only Jiajing resolutely supported Xiao Feng. Because he trusts Xiao Feng, he trusts him very much.

But now that reality tells him that Xiao Feng may have lied to him, and he lied to him on the things he cares about the most, can he still trust Xiao Feng like that?

If Xiao Feng can't be trusted, then the military power in Xiao Feng's hands will become a double-edged sword. Yesterday we killed the Japanese robbers, and today we may use them to fight for the world!

"Huang Ban, go and call Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng in, I want to hear their opinions."

Xu Jie and the others naturally knew about the things on the street, but Jiajing didn't look for them, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb. When Jiajing asked them how to deal with the matter, the three of them had different attitudes.

Zhang Juzheng took the lead in expressing his position, saying that he did not believe that Xiao Feng would deceive the king, nor did he believe that Xiao Feng would have a bad heart.

At this time, it is a critical moment for the national fortune, when Xiao Feng is allowed to lead his troops to Japan, the current matter will be talked about when he comes back.

Gao Gong objected, he didn't mean that Xiao Feng must have deceived the king, or had the intention to rebel. However, he believes that those who have heavy troops should not be suspicious of kings and ministers.

"Long live, if you don't suspect Xiao Feng's intention to bully the king, this matter can still continue. But since he already has this thought, he must not let Xiao Feng lead the troops again.

The conquest of Japan did not happen overnight, but during this time, would Banzai have to worry about every day?

There are only two possibilities for this matter, one is that Xiao Feng really deceived the king, and the other is that this matter is a misunderstanding, and someone is secretly framing him.

If it is the first type, then Xiao Feng must not lead the troops again, there is nothing to say! If it's the second one, if the misunderstanding drags on for a long time, it will also turn out to be true!"

Jiajing nodded, feeling that Gao Gong's words were reasonable, and his eyes looked at Xu Jie. Xu Jie didn't speak, frowning and thinking about it repeatedly.

At this time, seeing that the two of them had finished speaking, Jiajing had been looking at him, Xu Jie sighed, and finally made a statement.

"Hooray, I think it's better to be cautious in all things. The minister didn't believe that Xiao Feng had a bad heart, but it was a matter of society, but he couldn't act by feeling.

It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. Those who believe in it will rejoice if they do not; Those who believe in it will mourn if they do.

Japan is already at the end of its strong crossbow, and it is enough to send a general, not necessarily Xiao Feng himself. Long live again."

Jiajing nodded, Xu Jie's words were very pertinent, and the translation of these words is that small things can be gambled, but big things cannot be gambled.

Even if Xiao Feng has a chance of 9,999 out of 10,000 that he did not deceive the king, he would not rebel, but there is still a case. What if?

In case Xiao Feng is a bully, in case Xiao Feng is to take the opportunity to rebel, who can afford such a consequence?

It's very simple, it's like someone playing Russian roulette with you, you just have to shoot one shot and you can get a sum of money. You only have a 1 in 6 chance of getting shot.

A five-sixths win rate versus a one-sixth loser, and from the probability point of view, it is definitely a huge chance to win

gambling. But in fact, except for people who are in debt and desperate, there are almost no people who are willing to gamble.

Because although the chances of winning are big, the consequences of losing are unbearable. Therefore, some things cannot be judged by the probability of winning or losing, but by whether the result is bearable.

So if you like someone who likes to die and live, but there are many people around you who oppose it, then you must think about it, in case the other party is a scumbag, can you bear the consequences......

Jiajing obviously can't bear it, and he thinks that Xu Jie is right, why do you have to go to fight a Japan that has lost its claws and teeth?

At this time, Xu Jie added another sentence, which surprised Jiajing and completely made up his mind.

"In this battle of national fortune, both fronts have won, Lord Xiao has already made great achievements, if you don't give some credit to others, how can you reward him?"

"Ticket, urge, understand?"
