The Chang family lived in the county lord's mansion.

Chang Feng is a master who treats his subordinates well. simply gave the male servants and maids of the Changfu a ten-day vacation. Only five servants were left in the house.

There are only five people left in the huge Changfu, who are on duty in shifts at night, taking care of the goldfish in the pond during the day, hoeing grass in the back garden, and so on.

No one is worried that thieves will patronize Changfu.

In the past few years, Sai Tanghong, the head of the Miaoshou Sect, has become the leader of the five doors and ten associations of the Beijing Snitch with the secret support of Chang Feng.

Saitanghong personally wrote a "talisman". The so-called talisman is a long list. The list indicates which people in the capital cannot steal.

The factory guard official ranks third in the talisman, second only to the clan and the prince.

Whoever dares to steal the house that protects the people listed in the security charm does not need to be done by the government. Five doors and ten will directly issue a chase and kill order.

This is the tacit understanding reached between the snitch and the government.

Chang Feng is a giant among factory and health officials. Unless any snitch is tired of life, he dares to fight Changfu's idea.

Therefore, Chang Feng was not worried that the five people were left behind too little.

Let's say that the spring breeze is blowing on this day, Liu Xiaoyan is holding Xiao Jianjian and basking in the sun outside Chang Tian's bedroom.

Xiao Jianjian's skin turned yellow after birth. The female doctor in the palace said it was jaundice. There is no major problem, half an hour a day, and the jaundice subsides on its own.

Chang Tian was confined, and he didn't leave the bedroom.

Chang Feng and Chang Po slave father and son teased Xiao Jianjian under the sun.

Xiao Jianjian is like a small lump of meat, waving his little hands "babbling", which is really cute.

Liu Xiaoyan suddenly remembered something: "There are three pairs of double-headed dried abalone sent by the wife of Shandong Gaodu Division in the kitchen at home. You send someone to fetch it, and give it milk to Sugar Candy. ”

Chang Feng said: "Well, I'll send someone to get it." ”

Chang Ponu said, "Dad, I'll go." It just so happened that I was going back to the house to get "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

"The prince is very interested in the story of the Three Kingdoms. Every day after the East Palace class, I have to tell him the story of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is written by Luo Guanzhong. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang only banned "Water Margin", not "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

When Taizong Zhu Di arrived, he included this book in the banned book. Taizong believed that the book smeared the emperor of the Han Dynasty and was suspected of being loyal and treacherous to the sages.

That's a blatant statement. The real reason is a bunch of usurpers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Taizong Zhu Di was not in the right position, his heart was weak, and he took a seat.

Taizong also issued an edict, "But there are dictionaries that blaspheme the king, driving miscellaneous dramas, and those who are not reprinted by law firms dare to collect, transmit, print and sell, and send them to the legal department for investigation."

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was still a banned book, everyone from the princes and nobles to the white-clothed scholars loved it.

"Those who do good deeds among gentlemen and gentlemen compete to transcribe them so that they can be viewed."

This illegal book was even widely circulated in the imperial palace, and Emperor Hongzhi read it twice. That's how great the charm of a masterpiece is.

Seven-year-old prince Zhu Houzhao likes the story of the Three Kingdoms very much. I most admired Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was seven in and seven out of the 800,000 Cao army formation, and beheaded fifty.

This may be the reason why he assumed the pseudonym Zhu Shou when he became an adult, proclaimed himself a mighty general, and personally conquered the little prince of Tatar.

But he's just enlightened. The words in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are still incomplete. He likes to let his companion Chang Ponu tell him the story of the Three Kingdoms.

Chang Feng nodded: "Cheng." Go home. Oh yes, I have a bow in the cupboard in my bedroom, and you can take it with you. ”

The Ninth Lady on the side asked, "What are you doing with a bow?" ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Yesterday, Tangtang said that the sparrows I roasted for her when I was a child were delicious. I beat her with a bow to quench her cravings. ”

A woman in confinement, even if she wants to eat the stars in the sky, I am afraid that her mother's family will have to move a ladder to pick them.

Chang Ponu left the house and rode home.

In the Chang Mansion, a servant swaggered into Chang Feng's study.

The servant's name was Jiang An. It's been two years since I entered the Changfu as a servant.

He also has another identity, Li Guang's internal response to the Changfu.

Jiang An first searched for the two confessions related to Li Guang's safety in the study.

There were five servants left in the house. Two are on duty at night, and sleep during the day. The other two, one in the kitchen for lunch. One feeds the goldfish and the king by the pond.

The huge Changfu has become Jiang An's world.

He rummaged through the cabinets in his study. No confession was found. This was not surprising to him. Such a key confession could not have been placed in a conspicuous and easily accessible place by the owner.

Li Guang's internal response to the Changfu naturally has all kinds of skills. Jiang An is the best at copying homes!

Jiang An had previously worked as a lieutenant in the inspection of thousands of households, and had done two years of house-raiding errands.

Later, when he went out of Beijing on an errand, he accidentally injured a lieutenant of Fengguo with a few robes, and he was dismissed.

When he was desperate, Li Guang found him and took him as a confidant. It happened that at that time, Mrs. Nine recruited ten male servants to the Changfu.

Li Guang asked Jiang An to respond. Because he is the old brother of Jinyiwei, the loss of his post is also quite unjust. The Ninth Lady took pity on him and let him into the house.

Jiang An used the usual style to teach the methods of raiding thousands of households. Look for secret compartments, secret rooms, and the like in the study.

He only found a secret compartment under his desk. Darkly placed a box, and in the box was a thousand taels of silver tickets.

Hit the rabbit with grass, don't take it for nothing. Jiang An put the silver ticket directly into his arms.

Looking for a confession in the study, Jiang An went to Chang Feng's bedroom again.

Chang Feng is also careless. Where could he have thought that someone would dare to steal his mansion?

Li Guang's two confessions were hidden in the bedroom.

Jiang An searched again. There are no hidden compartments or secret rooms in the bedrooms.

Jiang An buried his head and continued to search. didn't notice that a pair of eyes outside the bedroom were staring at him!

That person is the Chang Po slave who went back to his home to get the double-headed abalone, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the bow stretch!

Just now, Chang Ponu walked to the door of the bedroom and heard movement inside. His first reaction was that there was a thief in the house.

He crept to the bedroom door and peeked in. I saw the servant Jiang An rummaging through the cabinets.

Chang Po Nu is very clever. He didn't stop Jiang An. An eleven-year-old person obviously can't beat Jiang An, who is five big and three rough. He won't suffer the loss in front of him.

Chang Po Nu is very thin and has light steps. He snuck away and went to gather four other servants in the house to come and get the thief and dirty.

Let's say that Jiang An in the bedroom did not find any secret compartments or secret rooms. It's big. Suddenly, his gaze swept to the tiger head ornament on the stepping bed.

I have to say that Jiang An is a person with a lot of talent for copying houses.

At the beginning, when he was inspecting thousands of households, he was known for his ability and good copying. If he hadn't accidentally injured Lieutenant Fengguo of the old Zhu family, he would have been able to at least raise the small flag now.

A good copyist usually has an intuition that is different from ordinary people.

He felt that the tiger head carving was decorated with strange decorations, and there was a small gap in the connection with the rear column.

The stepping bed is all about being integrated. How can there be tiny gaps?

Jiang An put his hand on the tiger head carving, and he was able to turn it.

It turns out that the horizontal pillars connected by the tiger head carving are hollow!

Inside the hollow pillar were two rolls of paper.

Jiang An took out the two rolls of paper, and when he looked closely, it was the two confessions of Zhao Xiangfo and Liu Ping back then!

This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

Jiang An couldn't help himself with excitement.

Li Guang promised that as long as he found two confessions, he would give him 3,000 taels of silver, and send him to Jiangnan to do a patrol in Fu County.

Coupled with the anonymous exchange of 1,000 taels of silver tickets obtained by beating rabbits with grass, he can be a comfortable rich petty official in Jiangnan in his life.

He took the confession into his arms and was about to leave.

But I heard the voice of the little master Chang Po slave: "Take the thief!" ”

Of the four servants, two were armed with sticks, one with an iron spoon for cooking, and one with a broom lever, and stood at the door of the bedroom.

See the dew. Jiang An no longer hidden, shouted "Get out", and rushed to the door of the bedroom.

Now the prince Zhu Houzhao has come out of the cabinet to study, and the teacher is Li Dongyang. Chang Ponu, as a companion, learns from the great Confucianism of the world every day, and naturally knows the truth that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall".

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the four servants: "Give it to me!" ”

He himself jumped backwards like an agile toad, hiding far away.

Four servants rushed towards Jiang An with wooden sticks, iron spoons, and broom rods.

Jiang An was young and strong, and he had received formal military training in Jinyiwei, and his martial arts were strong. He kicked the leader over.

However, two fists are hard to beat four hands; punched the master to death; No matter how high the kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives.

Iron spoons and wooden sticks hit Jiang An one after another.

Jiang An relied on brute force to break out of the encirclement and rush out of the door of the bedroom.

He had no blade in his hand, and with his bare hands, he was one against four. You can't kill people at all. The only option is to escape.

The four servants hurriedly chased them out.

Chang Ponu saw Jiang An fleeing in the wilderness, and immediately turned into a little warrior who beat the water dogs. He shouted, "Chase! "Run in the direction of Jiang An.

Handsome but momentary, Chang Po slave is not careful, mixing garlic under his feet, and an old lady burrowing into the quilt and falling to the ground.

The eleven-year-old boy is not yet fully developed. He fell and broke his arm. But it's not a fracture, it's just a dislocation.

"Ahh Chang Po Nu let out a painful wail and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground.

Seeing this, the four servants didn't care about chasing Jiang An. Hurriedly ran to Chang Ponu to check the little master's injuries.

The oldest servant was very experienced: "It was a fall and a dislocation." Just find a bone master to connect it. No big deal. Young Master, don't move. ”

Chang Ponu did not forget to pretend to be thirteen under the pain: "You . . . Belch. Don't say I fell on my own. Let's just say that I was a heroic thief and was beaten by a thief. ”

The four servants nodded frequently: "Yes, young master." ”

Half an hour later. The three outer floors of the Changfu are surrounded by soldiers at the entrance of each yamen!

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good district. There were thieves who stole from the house of Jinyi Wei Zuo Tongzhi. also "broken" the arm of the prince's companion Yomiro. Is this worth it?

The servants of the East Factory came, and the robes of the Jinyi Guard came. The Criminal Department and Ying Tianfu also sent people. Even the Beicheng Terracotta Division sent soldiers.

Chang Feng had already returned to the house and asked the four servants and Chang Ponu for their words. Knowing that there was a thief in the house.

Take stock. He found that 1,000 taels of silver tickets and two confessions about Li Guang's planting of important ministers were missing from the palace.

He immediately understood that Jiang An was the internal response sent by Li Guang to Changfu.

The medical officer of Jinyiwei had already attached Chang Ponu's arm.

The medical officer told Chang Feng: "An eleven-year-old child dislocated once. It may cause dislocation easily. In the future, Chang Ye took a good look at the young master. Don't let him fall again. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "It's hard work." ”

After the medical officer left, Chang Feng asked his son, "Are you really the arm that was broken by the thief Jiang An?" ”

Chang Ponu smiled slyly: "Hehe." A gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, does not walk strangely, and does not enter deep water. I've always been far away from Jiang An, so I haven't come close to him. ”

"I was mixing garlic under my feet and broke my arm. said that he was broken by a thief because he was afraid of embarrassment. ”

Chang Feng was amused by his son: "Haha, you kid, it's a ghost." ”

After a while, the big shots of the factory guard and the three law divisions came to Changfu one after another.

Qian Neng's father and son hurriedly entered the house.

Qian Neng shouted: "How is my good grandson Zhuangzhuang? ”

Chang Feng came out: "The owner, Zhuang Zhuang's arm was broken by a thief, and it has been connected, so it's no big deal." ”

Qian Neng said angrily: "It's wrong, it's wrong!" Stealing things to the prefect of Jinyi Wei Zuo, and beating the prince's companion! It's worth it! ”

"I've already said hello to Zhang Yong, the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Let him lead the regiment and battalion soldiers to martial law at the Nine Gates! Thieves must not be allowed out of the city! ”

Channing interjected: "That thief can't escape!" I asked the factory guards and the Shuntianfu officers, and the soldiers of the Five Cities to search for the whole city! ”

"Even if you turn the capital over, you have to find him!"

Liu Jin echoed: "Yes." Grab him and peel him and cramp him! ”

Xu Fatzi said: "Peeling and cramping are cheap for him!" I'm going to split the corpses of five elephants at the elephant training center! ”

Chang Feng said angrily: "That thief must have a backstage!" Got it to my house! I won't put up with it this time! The thief's backstage will be ruined! ”

People have shortcomings, such as hanging high on their own merits.

Chang Feng is not a saint, just a "person".

Li Guang amassed money or wantonly extorted bribes from local officials in the name of "passing on the money." Chang Feng has not torn his face with him in the past two years.

The big picture! The civilian-bureaucratic clique represented by the cabinet has reached a tacit understanding with Li Guang that the well water will not interfere with the river water. Why can't I get along with Li Guang?

You know, Li Guang and I are both the queen's people.

And Li Guang's henchmen are all over the world. Investigating him may set off a bloody case.

No one wants to set off a shocking case in the prosperous era of Hongzhi.

Besides, Li Guang's power was given by Emperor Hongzhi. Ran Li Guang, which damaged the name of the emperor and virtuous monarch.

But this time, in order to steal the evidence of the crime, Li Guang actually got it to my house!

Fortunately, Jiang An's gang didn't have a dog to jump off the wall in a hurry and kill people. Otherwise, my son's life would be at risk.

Is this worth it?

Li Guang, if you want to fight, let's fight!

In the past two years, although Changfeng has been consciously idle and decentralized, Emperor Hongzhi has been decentralized. But the house is down, and the shelves are still there.

After all, he is the first "favorite minister" around Emperor Hongzhi, and he has been in power for more than ten years. The ability to launch a city-wide manhunt is still there.

Chang Feng gave orders in an orderly manner: "Let Shen Zhou draw a portrait of the thief Jiang An first." Post the sea fishing paperwork and search the whole city! ”

"Brother Qian Ning is right, even if you turn the capital over, you have to catch him!"

"The factory guards are all dispatched! To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”

Chang Ponu fell and dislocated, which led to a city-wide manhunt in the capital! The total number of people involved in the search and arrest is probably more than 20,000!

The regimental soldiers could not close the nine gates without a decree, but they could impose martial law and strictly check those who left the city.

Within a day, two or three thousand people similar to Jiang An's portrait were arrested in the capital.

Even if Jiang An has wings, he can't fly out of the capital.
