Chapter 18: Nine Girls
Xu Fatzi thought that Chang Feng was here to have fun.
In fact, Chang Feng came to him to go to the fire and water together.
Chang Feng said: "Something big happened, fat man." Hurry up and change your shoes, let's go out and talk. ”
Xu Fatzi knows his partner - Chang Feng has always been unsmiling. It's definitely not a joke to say something big.
Xu Fatzi pushed away Aunt Datong beside him.
Datong's mother-in-law and aunt retained: "Oh, Master Xu, just go." We haven't practiced the 18-way bullet leg yet. ”
Fat Xu took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and put it on the table: "I'll practice again next time." ”
Chang Feng changed his shoes with Xu Fatzi, got out of Yihong Mansion, and came to a secluded place. Huzi, who is well-versed in human nature, immediately followed.
Chang Feng took a deep breath: "Fatty, tonight I may drag you into a life-threatening trouble." ”
He told Xu Fatzi about the cause and effect of the matter.
Chang Feng asked Xu Fatzi to participate in this matter, just to let him be a circumstantial witness. There is nothing to hide from him.
Xu Fatzi was stunned at first: "He has a mother's leg." The governor and the commander dared to frame the prince. ”
"Zhu Ji, who eats, turned out to be the prince's person."
Chang Feng said: "Fatty, don't you find a letter box with me, Prince Bao, you have to think about it carefully." ”
"If you won't. I don't blame you. The water is too deep to drown. ”
Xu Fatzi said without thinking: "Don't think about it! I'll do it with you! ”
"It's not just for the brotherhood of our brothers. It's also for myself. ”
"I'm a direct descendant of Xu Da. Now he has been reduced to being a biting dog in the brocade guard, listening to the shouts of a group of eunuchs who have lost their hands. ”
"I always think that I have to do something in this life to make myself look down on myself!"
"Back then, my ancestor protected Emperor Taizu Gao. Today, let me, the fifth-generation grandson of King Zhongshan, protect the crown prince of our Zhu Ming royal family! ”
In the fat body of Fat Xu, there is an upright heart.
Chang Feng patted Xu Fatzi's shoulder: "Okay!" We still have three hours and five minutes to find the letter box. ”
Xu Fatzi asked, "Where to start?" Myotemon is a group of ghosts that come and go without a trace. Even if we are Jinyiwei, we can't understand their details. ”
Chang Feng said: "Let's go, go to Xiangxi Lane and find the ninth girl." ”
Nine Girls, the largest thrift dealer in the south of the city.
This woman is in her early twenties, and she looks like a fairy who came out of the painting, and she is furrowed and lost.
Chang Feng raided the house, and the miscellaneous items in the mansion of the criminal official were all exchanged for money by her and distributed to her brothers.
Since ancient times, when collecting old goods, there are inevitably some unclean thieves.
The other identity of the Nine Girls is the largest stolen goods broker in the capital. It has a lot to do with snitches and pickpockets in and out of Beijing.
During the day, Nine Girls do a serious thrift business.
At night, she collected the stolen goods in Xiangxi Lane, which she controlled.
The ninth girl is a standard Xiangxi Tujia woman, with a spicy and bold personality. She eats very well in the capital.
Whether it is the spies of the Criminal Department, or the capture of Shuntianfu, the command of the Soldiers and Horses Division, or even the general banner of Jinyi Wei like Chang Feng, they have to give her a little thin face.
Chang Feng guessed that the nine girls might have helped the Miaoshou Gate to sell dirty and knew how to find the Miaoshou Gate.
The two entered Xiangxi Lane.
The so-called Xiangxi Lane is a narrow alley five feet long. It is about half a mile long. This is the territory of the Tujia people in Xiangxi.
In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the defense of Beijing. Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, once ordered the provinces to send the division of King Qin.
The Huguang Dusi not only sent 5,000 guards but also 40 fierce Tujia warriors.
By the time they arrived, the daylilies were cold. The battle to defend the capital has ended.
The army of the 5,000 Lake Guangwei Station left Beijing and went south and returned to the garrison.
The 40 Tujia warriors did not belong to the establishment of the Weisu army, and the military department did not give them military rations and salaries for the return journey. In a fit of rage, they simply stayed in the capital.
More than forty years have passed. Xiangxi Lane has become a gathering place for the descendants of those Tujia warriors.
As soon as Chang Feng and Xu Fatzi entered Xiangxi Lane, two cold Tujia short knives immediately crossed their necks in the dark.
The knife hand asked in a very authentic Xiangxi dialect: "What are you going to do?" ”
Chang Feng said: "Jinyi Wei Changfeng, come to find the ninth girl." ”
The knife hand seems to be familiar with Chang Feng: "Ah. It's Chang Ye. It's dark and you're dressed in plain clothes again. I didn't recognize it, forgive my clumsiness. ”
The knife hand put away the knife and led Chang Feng to a courtyard gate in the middle of the alley.
Chang Feng was about to step inside.
The knife hand was a little embarrassed: "Master Chang, the ninth girl is negotiating the price with the owner of the goods." According to the rules...... There is no face-to-face meeting between the cargo owners. ”
Xu Fatzi was on fire: "We have 100,000 urgent things!" Do you dare to stop the Jinyi Guard? ”
Chang Feng interrupted Xu Fatzi: "Follow the customs." Let's give face to the nine girls. Wait for a pillar of incense. ”
Turning his head, he said to the knife hand again: "After a pillar of incense, we can only break through." I was in a hurry to find her. ”
Coincidentally, as soon as the words fell, the owner walked out of the door and passed by Chang Feng.
Chang Feng smelled a strong earthy smell on the man's body.
Seeing that the owner of the goods was gone, the knife hand made a "please" gesture.
Chang Feng led Huzi and entered the courtyard gate with Xu Fatzi. The two entered the east wing of the small courtyard.
Behind a table in the wing room, sat the nine girls. This woman is simply a fairy.
On the table, there are a few bronze utensils, which look like they have just been dug out of the soil. The smell is exactly the same as the earthy smell on the owner's body.
Chang Feng was very familiar with the ninth girl, and sat down opposite her unceremoniously: "What, you even started to collect the goods of the next three roads for stealing graves and digging graves?" ”
The ninth girl smiled, and her voice was like a silver bell: "Ah, my elder brother Chang, you are receiving official salaries, and you don't know the suffering of us inferior people." ”
"More than 100 people are pointing to Ah Mei to eat. Naturally, I have what I have and what I can receive, as long as I can make money. ”
Although the ninth girl is two years older than Chang Feng, she calls him Brother and calls herself Sister A, which is very ambiguous.
Chang Feng asked: "Aren't you afraid that the government will come to your door?" ”
The ninth girl smiled slightly: "The government came to the door, there is Brother Chang, you protect Sister I!" ”
"Why did you come to me at night today? Figured it out? I told you a long time ago, whether it is for me to be your cousin or when you are a beard, Ah Mei has nothing to say. ”
"Tangke" means wife in Xiangxi dialect; "Painting a beard" means a good concubine.
Chang Feng said: "Don't be kidding. I'm in a big trouble. I need you to help me. ”
Under the seemingly pungent appearance of the nine girls, there is actually a scheming city. Otherwise, she would not have become the biggest stolen goods broker in the entire capital.
She asked tentatively: "Brother Chang laughed." You are wearing the tiger skin of the brocade guard, what can be the big difficulty? ”
Chang Feng turned his head and instructed Xu Fatzi: "You take Huzi to the courtyard and wait for me first." ”
The ninth girl also instructed the swordsman who came in: "Go down first." ”
After a while, there were only two people left in the east wing, Nine Girls and Chang Feng.
Chang Feng asked bluntly: "Have you ever received the goods from Miaoshoumen?" ”
The ninth girl smiled: "Oh, my elder brother Chang." You should know the rules of this business. ”
"Even if you put a knife on my neck, I won't say anything."
Chang Feng directly picked up the scorpion crossbow given to him by Zhu Ji and aimed it at the nine girls.
