Yan Paner did not shy away from letting Chang Feng know the size and depth of the Lin family's network.

This woman with superb wrists wants Chang Feng to retreat.

However, Chang Feng has already made up his mind to fight with the Lin family, a merchant of the sea. Not only for the martyrdom of the martyr You Tianjue, but also for the belief that evil does not prevail over righteousness in his heart.

Yan Paner, who is round and jade, can not only persuade wine, but also be good at drinking and accompanying. In a short time, everyone drank too much.

A group of people who have drunk too much will naturally be pulled from all over the world. This has been the case since ancient times.

The topic unconsciously pulled to the Japanese people.

Yan Pan'er said: "The Japanese are not the same as the Japanese people. During the time of the great grandfather, the country of the Japanese was included in the country of non-levy. ”

"When the Taizong Ye was in power, he was 'diligent and sincere to the Wa Kingdom, and gave the king nine chapters'. Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was given a crown. The Wa State was allowed to pay tribute, and from then on, the Wa State became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The Wa Kingdom has always admired my Han family. Knowing Chinese characters and using Chinese silver, the aristocracy was proud to be able to speak Chinese. Follow the etiquette of my Han family. ”

"Many Japanese people, even more important than our Ming people. Bow when you see someone"

Yan Paner talked about the goodness of the Japanese people at the banquet.

Chang Feng seemed to have drunk too much, and suddenly stood up from the banquet.

Chang Feng said in a loud voice: "Yidi, birds and beasts too." There is no great righteousness in knowing the subtleties, and there is no virtue in fearing power. This is what Tang Taizong said in "Zizhi Tongjian". ”

"Wolves, beasts, too. There is no great righteousness in knowing the subtleties, and there is no virtue in fearing power. That's what I Chang Feng said. ”

Whether it is Tang Taizong or Chang Feng, they are all prophecies.

Hundreds of years later, the Japanese people paid attention to hygiene and politeness in small families. After watching a sports game, you have to pick up garbage, pretending to be more civilized and human-like.

And then what? Without hesitation, he discharged a bunch of radioactive elements from the periodic table into the sea, without regard to international norms and morality.

There is no meaning in this subsection.

In the face of countries that are temporarily lagging behind them, the Japanese invade and kill bloody, without blinking an eye. When they encounter a country that is stronger than themselves, such as the country that made them eat two eggs, they directly recognize them as their own father.

This is called fear of power but not virtue.

The word beast is well deserved.

The sewer of the earth's civilization, the moral flower board of human beings, deserves its name.

Yan Pan'er smiled awkwardly. Chang Feng slammed down on the table, as if he was drunk to death.

Qian Neng apologized to Wang Zhi: "Chang Feng, this young man is bold and has a small amount of alcohol. Fooled in front of the old-timers. ”

Wang Zhi said: "It's okay. Send someone to send him back to his house. ”

Several servants helped Chang Feng out of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce and sent him into the official sedan chair.

The sedan chair drivers carried Chang Feng back to the house.

As soon as he returned home, Chang Feng's face was completely drunk. He instructed his subordinates: "Go, call Zhang Cai, Xu Fatzi, Shi Wenyi, and Basha." ”

Chang Feng called four henchmen, but he didn't call Qian Ning. Since ancient times, father and son have been one, and the righteous son is also a son. Qian Neng is not clear with the Lin family, and Qian Ning is unreliable in this matter.

Investigating a case is like solving a mess, you need to find the thread in order to get rid of the cocoon.

Chang Feng had already thought of the thread.

He wrote eight names in his study.

"The celebrant seals Xiao Jing's brother, Xiao Quan."

"The son-in-law of Geng Yu, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Shaoyuan."

"Former Zhejiang Dusi, Yang Guosheng."

"Liu Jimen, Wang Tong, the general merchant of Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce."

"Zhu Youqi, King of Jingjiang."

"Leader of Ji'an Rulin, Gao Wenze."

"Former Zhejiang Governor Huang Degong."

"Wang Zhi."

This is the list of the eight elders of the smuggling syndicate "Four Seas Society" that Chang Feng found in Hangzhou 15 years ago.

Circumstances change with the passage of time. The eight elders are long since then.

Among them, Yang Guosheng, Wang Tong, and Huang Degong have died of illness and old age.

Zhu Youqi has inherited the throne of Jingjiang.

The leader of Confucianism, Gao Wenze, was a second-class jinshi in the third year of Hongzhi high school. Now he is the prefect of Ningbo.

Fifteen years ago, Chang Feng was fledgling and couldn't move any of the eight people.

Now, one of the eight people can move as he pleases.

That is the son-in-law of Geng Yu, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Shaoyuan.

Geng Yu has been dead for six years. His children and grandchildren are all gentlemen, who only know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

The Geng clan in Dingzhou no longer has any power to speak of. The old tree of the former protégé is scattered.

This Lu Shaoyuan did not return to his hometown in Dingzhou. Instead, he stayed in the capital and enjoyed the prosperity.

This person is just a son-in-law of a declining former high-ranking official, and he has no position and no power.

Chang Feng can't move King Jingjiang, can't he move him?

Not long after, Chang Feng's four henchmen came to the study.

Xu Fatzi yawned: "Father-in-law Liu said that tomorrow the prince will go to the elephant training center to watch the elephant show." I was trying to go to bed early, and you got me. What's going on again? ”

Chang Feng was just about to speak, when suddenly he glanced at Shi Wenyi.

Tonight's night banquet in the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, Ye Guang, a fierce general in the army, was also listed. Ye Guang is good friends with Shi Wenyi's eldest brother Shi Wenzhong.

Chang Feng didn't know if the military generals of the Beijing camp were also involved in the smuggling trade, and how deep they were trapped.

For the sake of safety, he made up a lie and sent Shi Wenyi away: "Wenyi, Jinyi Wei just took over an errand and copied the Changlu Yanyun envoy Gao Bing's house. ”

"The stakes are high. Tomorrow you will go to Changlu in person. I called you late at night to give you an account of this errand. ”

"Alright, you can go back first."

Shi Wenyi arched his hand and said, "Chang Ye rest assured. I'll do it. With that, he departed.

After he left, Chang Feng told the truth.

Chang Feng said: "The three of you can be regarded as the henchmen of my henchmen." ”

"I'll tell you, I've met an enemy. An enemy who is not in the court, but whose forces are intertwined. ”

"Possibly, it was this enemy who caused my best friend to die for his country."

"Do you have the guts to fight this enemy with me?"

Basha said: "As long as we provoke Chang Ye, no matter how powerful we are, we will dare to kill him." ”

Zhang Cai echoed: "That's right. Tell me, who is it. ”

Xu Fatzi knew in his heart: "I said Chang Ye, you still decided to be their enemy?" ”

Chang Feng glanced at Xu Fatzi: "Everyone says that Chang Feng of Jinyiwei has become more and more mature over the years. ”

"The maturity in their mouths is actually sleek and sophisticated."

"I'm getting older, and lately I've always wanted to do something that makes me look down on myself."

Xu Fatzi said: "Cheng." You decided, Lao Tzu will give up his life to accompany the gentleman. Lao Tzu is the king of Zhongshan, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth. ”

Chang Feng said: "Zhang Cai, Basha." Tell you, I want to move the maritime merchant Lin family. ”

Zhang Cai asked quietly: "But the Lin family in Quanzhou?" ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes." Why, you have also heard a little about the Lin family? ”

Zhang Cai replied: "It is said that the Lin family has an unclear relationship with all parties in the DPRK and China. ”

Chang Feng said: "If you're afraid, you can leave now." ”

Zhang Cai Zhengse said: "Chang Ye is the emperor's confidant and retainer. I am your confidant. I have your support, which is equivalent to having the emperor's support. What's so scary? ”

Zhang Cai has very little experience in Weizhong, and he relied on his followers to be the regular style, and he was raised from the general flag to a thousand households in six years.

It has to be said that this person is very capable. But if there is no impermanence in the promotion, no matter how strong the ability is, it will not rise so fast.

Liu Jin once commented: Zhang Cai is very much like Chang Ye when he was young.

This sentence has two meanings. One layer means: Zhang Cai's ability to do things is very similar to the common style when he was young.

The second meaning is: Zhang Caiping's promotion speed is very similar to the usual style when he was young.

Chang Feng said: "Tomorrow, you tie someone for me." ”

Basha asked, "Tie whom?" Which high-ranking official and military commander is honorable? Chang Ye, if you say a word, we will start. ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "It's not so evil." I tied up Lu Shaoyuan, the son-in-law of Geng Yu, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and sent him to the courtyard in Lion Hutong in the south of the city. ”

Jin Yiwei is the ancestor of the modern secret service organization.

Modern secret service organizations have safe houses to protect witnesses and interrogate sensitive prisoners.

There is also a safe house. It's just that the name is "Waiji".

The lion alley in the south of the city is one of the dozens of foreign divisions of Jinyiwei.

Basha smiled: "Who am I going to tie up when I am Changye?" Lu Shaoyuan is so down-and-out. Tie him up and capture him. ”

Chang Feng said: "Cheng." Tomorrow evening, I will meet the three of you and Lu Shaoyuan in Lion Hu. ”

Let's say that Zhang Cai left Changfu and did not go back to his home, but went to Liu Jin's outer house.

Coincidentally, today is the day of Liu Jin's secret party gathering.

Liu Jin has been secretly developing his own power in factories and foreign Koreas all these years.

Half an hour later, Liu Jin went to the back garden of his house.

There are five people sitting in the back garden. The leader is naturally Liu Jin.

Liu Jin's subordinates sat the eunuch Gu Dayong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials Jiao Fang, the Ministry of Officials Examination Silang Zhong Zhang Cai, and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhang Cai.

Needless to say, when Li Guang fell, in order to switch to Liu Jin's disciples, he did not hesitate to take the life of his father-in-law Li Guang as a vote.

Jiao Fang, the right hall of the ministry, is also a ruthless person.

In the 20th year of Chenghua, Peng Hua recommended candidates for promotion to bachelor's degree.

Peng Hua is old and has a bad memory, so he missed Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang directly released his words: "If I can't get to the bachelor this time, I'll stab Peng Hua with a knife." ”

Everyone thought that Jiao Fang was talking angry.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Fang actually played a real game. I went to the butcher's shop and bought a boning knife from the butcher.

He put the boning knife in his sleeve and stood on Chang'an Road in the palace waiting for Peng Hua to go down.

Fortunately, the patrolling Han general noticed it in time. Otherwise, Peng Ge Lao may have a few more holes in his body.

When Xianzong heard about this, he didn't punish Jiao Fang and laughed it off.

Hooligans are not scary, they are afraid that hooligans are educated. Jiao Fang is a typical cultured hooligan.

Zhang Cai, the "little waiter" of the Ministry of Officials, is not only Chang Feng's friend, but also has the same name as Chang Feng's henchman.

He and Yang Tinghe are known as the two most promising talents in the court.

The evaluation of the times: Yang Tinghe will enter the cabinet in the future, and Zhang Cai will be appointed as the official of the Ministry of Officials in the future.

Gu, Jiao, and Erzhang are Liu Jin's four right-hand men.

On the surface, there is no friendship between them. As a civil official, Jiao Fang even had a tense fight with the favored eunuch Liu Jin.

In fact, they were all people from Liu Jin's boat.

Zhang Cai said: "Listening to Chang Ye's words tonight, it seems that he is going to move the maritime merchant Lin family. ”

Liu Jin took a sip of tea: "It's still my little uncle who is bold." Not afraid of offending important ministers, eunuchs, nobles and even vassal kings. ”

Zhang Cai asked: "Gonggong Liu, are we going to stand by this time?" ”

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Cai, who was known as "Little Zhuge ".

The beautiful man Zhang Cai thought for a while and said, "You can't stand by and watch. You have to help out. ”

"In the past few years, the several generous forces in the court have been too balanced. Balance represents stability, and stability means that power is difficult to change. ”

"Only when there is chaos can we profit from chaos. Profit is power. ”

Jiao Fang analyzed: "Don't say anything else. There were only a few chairs for the celebrant. Only by vacating a handful can Liu Gonggong be among the pen. ”

"As far as I know, Father-in-law Xiao's family was not clear about the smuggling and maritime merchants in the southeast more than ten years ago."

"Among the eunuchs supervised by the three major cities, there are two more apprentices of Qian Neng."

"The butcher of Jinyiwei wants to turn the smuggling trade upside down, and these two giants of ceremonial supervisors will inevitably be involved."

"When the time comes, Gonggong Liu will have the opportunity to replace him."

Gu Dayong said: "Gonggong Liu, what Jiao Butang said is polite. ”

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Dayong, this time the group of secret agents in our hands has come in handy, we have to help my little uncle." ”

Every eunuch has a dream: to reopen the West Factory and go to the pinnacle of power like Wang Zhi did back then.

Liu Jin has recruited a group of people in recent years. Secret errands for him.

In the words of later generations, this group of people is Liu Jin's talent reserve for reopening the West Factory in the future.

Jiao Fang smiled slightly: "How could the smart butcher of Chang would have thought that this time he was used as a gunman by us." ”

Liu Jin's face changed: "Jiao Butang, I have to remind you." My little uncle and we are our own family. Don't use him for a gun. ”

"You can't forget your roots. If it weren't for him, I'd probably still be a lowly fireman. ”

"If it weren't for the lord of Wanping of his family, I would have died at the hands of Li Guang."

Liu Jin is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.

At the same time, in a certain bedroom of the Min Chamber of Commerce.

Yan Pan'er got dressed. Shouning waited for Zhang Heling to lie on the bed like a dead pig, like a fairyland.

Yan Pan'er got out of bed: "Uncle Guo, I will be your person from today on." ”

During the banquet, Yan Pan'er looked at Zhang Heling's eyes as if he could breathe fire, and he looked impatient.

She simply asked Zhang Heling to stay in the Fujian Chamber of Commerce tonight to drink.

The so-called alcohol consumption is nothing more than a blend of fire and water.

Zhang Heling said with satisfaction: "My good sister, this time, even if you let me die in the future, I won't have a word." ”

Yan Pan'er smiled: "Why do I want Uncle Guo to die." I wish my uncle would live a long life and protect our Lin family. ”

Zhang Heling said: "I didn't say it. Originally, the Lin family made me rich. We have this one-night friendship, and the affairs of the Lin family will be my business in the future. ”

Yan Pan'er smiled: "I have something to ask you." ”

Zhang Heling dragged Yan Pan'er over: "Good sister, good person. I have something to ask you for as well. You help me again. ”

Yan Pan'er said: "Let's talk about this business first, so that Uncle Guo will not recognize people by lifting his pants." ”

Zhang Heling said anxiously: "What's the matter? Don't say one, it's ten and hundred, and I'll help my sister do it. ”

Yan Pan'er said: "That's the case. I sent someone to Nanyang and bought a fifteen-pound piece of ambergris for a lot of money. I want to dedicate it to the queen. ”

Zhang Heling was stunned when he heard this: "How much ambergris do you say?" ”

Yan Pan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, and scolded in her heart: Uncle Huiguo, look at your appearance that you have never seen the world.

Although he scolded in his heart, he couldn't say that: "Fifteen catties, Uncle Guo." ”

No wonder Zhang Heling was surprised.

Ambergris is the first treasure in the sea and is extremely rare. A piece of ambergris weighing one or two can be worth three hundred taels of silver.

A fifteen-pound piece of ambergris is almost immeasurably valuable.

The Lin family really has the ability to reach the sky, and they can get such a strange treasure from Nanyang.

Yan Pan'er has been in charge of the Lin family's business since she was sixteen years old, and has been in charge for 17 years, making the Lin family bigger and stronger, and creating brilliance. Naturally, there is her superb wrist.

Yan Paner came to Beijing for two purposes. The first purpose is to do a triennial event.

The second purpose is to try his best to tie up with Queen Zhang.

No one in the world knows that the emperor favors Queen Zhang. If my Lin family is married to Queen Zhang, it will be more effective than making friends with ten pavilion elders and ten celebrant palm seals.

Zhang Heling clapped his hands: "What's the matter?" Isn't it just a gift for my sister! Piece of cake! ”

Yan Pan'er changed her words: "It's not just a gift. It is best to let me enter the palace, and I will personally give ambergris to the queen's mother. ”

Zhang Heling hesitated: "This? ”

According to the rules, there are only golden branches and jade leaves; clans, noble wives; The lady can enter the palace to meet the queen.

The widow of the merchant family entered the palace, and there was no such precedent since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Pan'er looked charming: "Oh, Uncle Guo." As long as you help me do this, let alone help you again. It's ten times and eight times, and I don't have anything to say about a hundred times and a thousand times. ”

"As long as your body can afford it."

When Zhang Heling saw Yan Paner's demeanor, she couldn't hold back directly: "Good sister, good person." It's on me. Isn't it just to see my sister? What's so hard! ”
