Chapter 229: Yan Pan'er is not a chess player, but a chess piece
In the words of later generations, Yan Paner weaved a community of interests from top to bottom.
The entire community of interests is escorting the Lin family's smuggling trade.
In this community of interests, from the cabinet members to the county officials, it seems that they are all chess pieces in the hands of Yan Paner.
It's just seeming.
Chang Feng settled You Jingwu at home and came to the door of Liu Bingyi's bedroom.
The candles in the bedroom were still on. It seems that Liu Bingyi got 10,000 taels of silver for nothing tonight, and he couldn't sleep happily.
Chang Feng pushed the door in: "Old Taishan, I haven't slept yet." β
Liu Bingyi said perfunctorily: "Ah, I took a nap at noon." I was sleepy at night. β
Chang Feng sat on the chair: "You are old and not short of silver, why do you want to get on the thief ship of the Shuangmu Society?" β
Liu Bingyi was stunned: "You know? β
Chang Feng sighed: "Alas, old Taishan. Jinyiwei knows half of the things in heaven, and all the things on earth. β
Liu Bingyi did not deny it: "There are many people in Beijing who take the Lin family's silver, and even the elders of the pavilion take it." I don't take it for nothing. β
"I'm old, I'm powerless, and my income is limited. Before he dies, he will always save some property for my good grandson. β
Chang Feng picked up the teapot on the table, poured a bowl of tea, and took a sip: "The elder you are talking about, is it Xie Qian?" β
Xie Qian's entire family was involved in the smuggling trade, and there are historical records.
During the Jiajing period, Xie Qian's descendants were wiped out by the Japanese because they were too deeply trapped in the smuggling trade and unevenly shared the spoils with the Japanese pirates (a Portuguese pirate). This is belated retribution. Naturally, these are all afterthoughts.
Chang Feng sighed: "Alas. My old Tarzan. The little widow of the Lin family is so fine that she is a monkey, how can she give you silver for no reason. β
"She's using you to drag me into the water."
Liu Bingyi retorted: "It has nothing to do with you. I said hello to the protΓ©gΓ© of the southeast and took care of the Lin family."
Chang Feng said: "Old Taishan." As soon as the officialdom leaves, the tea is cold. What is the reason why the current officials in your protΓ©gΓ©s gave you a face? β
"Isn't it because you have a son-in-law who has the final say in the factory guard?"
Liu Bingyi was speechless. He knew that what his son-in-law said was the truth.
Chang Feng said: "In six years, you took a total of 16,000 taels. Give me all the silver tickets. β
Liu Bingyi was a little distressed: "You want to retreat?" β
Chang Feng replied: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to return the money." I try as much as I can. β
Liu Bingyi had no choice but to open the bedside table and take out a box with a copper lock from it.
He opened the brass lock and took out a wad of silver tickets from the box.
Chang Feng took the silver ticket and put it in his sleeve: "Old Taishan." In the future, there will inevitably be people who will pull me into the water through you. β
"Listen to me. The family has enough money to spend. Don't take money you shouldn't have. β
Liu Bingyi felt guilty at the moment, and he said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I've caused you trouble." β
Chang Feng comforted Liu Bingyi: "This is actually not a big trouble. I think the remedy is. β
The next day, Chang Feng led You Jingwu to Jinyiwei.
He summoned the head of the brocade guard.
Chang Feng said: "This You Jingwu You Qianhu will be on an errand in Fusi in Beizhen in the future." After he was martyred and loyal, you should take care of him in the future. β
Qian Ning immediately said: "Master Chang, don't worry. Your nephew, we will take it as a brother. β
Shi Wenyi echoed: "Yes, yes." β
Chang Feng said: "That's it." Disperse first. Jingwu stayed. β
Everyone retreated, and only Chang Feng and You Jingwu were left in the duty room.
Chang Feng said: "Being on an errand in Jinyiwei is different from leading troops along the coast. When you first entered the guard, you should talk less, listen more, watch more, and learn more. Got it? β
You Jingwu arched his hand: "Understood." Uncle Chang, when are we going to avenge my father? β
"The maritime merchants bribed the Japanese and besieged the city to kill the generals of the Weisho army, which is a great crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. It is the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei. β
Chang Feng said: "Revenge must be avenged." But I haven't figured it out yet. β
Fat Xu walked in.
Chang Feng said: "Today is the second year of junior high school, you should stay in the elephant training center." β
Xu Fatzi said: "Don't mention it." Governor Qian called me. He gave me an inexplicable errand. β
Chang Feng asked, "What errand?" β
Xu Fatzi replied: "Let me bring a hundred robes to protect the little widow of the Lin family in the Min Chamber of Commerce." β
"Governor Qian said that if the widow of the Lin family makes a mistake in the capital, he will dismiss me."
Chang Feng was stunned: It must be that Father-in-law Qian guessed that I might use a secret method to deal with Yan Pan'er.
So he ordered Xu Fatzi to be responsible for Yan Paner's safety.
If I do, my best friend will be punished.
Father-in-law Qian is saying to me - Chang Feng, don't move Yan Pan'er's hair.
Thinking of this, Chang Feng instructed Xu Fatzi: "You take Jingwu to his duty room." β
After Xu Fatzi and You Jingwu left, Chang Feng sat for an hour, pondering. In the end, I still didn't think about how to deal with Shuangmukai.
Anxious, he got out of the brocade guard and walked along Liubu Street to relax.
After seven walks, he entered the military department.
My friend Wang Shouren is in charge of the military department. In recent years, Chang Feng has found that Wang Shouren has become more and more wise.
Whenever he encounters difficulties, he always likes to talk to Wang Shouren and let Wang Shouren help come up with ideas.
Chang Feng came to the door of the lobby of the military department. Today's military department is his old acquaintance Liu Daxia. He has always been in and out of the military department as if he were in his own home.
In the lobby, Wang Shouren was discussing military affairs with Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia.
Although Ma Wensheng has been in the ministry for a long time. But whenever the imperial court wanted to use troops, Emperor Hongzhi had to consult him, an old artillery civil official, for his opinion.
Therefore, Ma Wensheng is also a frequent visitor to the military department.
In the lobby, there is a map of Ningxia.
The two old men and the young man Wang Shouren were discussing fiercely the strategy of using troops in Chenghua for four years, and Ma Wensheng pacified the Guyuan bandits.
It is no exaggeration to say that the three of them seem to be arguing.
Wang Shouren pointed to the map and said: "Ma Lao Butang, at that time, there were 300,000 people in Xiji, Haiyuan, Longde, and Pengyang, and at least 50,000 young and strong. β
"Why do you want to sit back and watch Jingyuan fall? Why don't you organize the young and strong to defend Jingyuan City? β
Ma Wensheng's nose was crooked: "Didn't I say it!" At that time, it took half a month for the main force of the Ningxia border army to arrive. What can I do if Jingyuan falls? β
"Minzhuang? Those were peasants, and they had never touched the handle of a knife. Sending them to battle is tantamount to sending them to death! β
Wang Shouren shook his head: "I don't dare to agree with your words. Your opponent is full of four rebels, and he is also a group of people and ruffians who have never touched the handle of a knife. β
"The Manchurian rebel army burned, killed and looted in Ningxia, and did all kinds of evil. The people hated it. Popular hearts are available! β
"If you can gather the people of the four places to be strong, hold Jingyuan City. The battle could have ended at least two months earlier. β
The discussion gradually turned into a quarrel, which then developed into a mutual roar.
Xiaoxiao, a six-grade director, dared to question the strategy of the officials and officials in the past, and fought for a red face and a thick neck.
In fact, Wang Shouren's point of view is "people's war" in later terms. A few years later, in the rebellion of King Ning, he would practice these four words.
Chang Feng watched them quarrel for two full quarters.
In the end, Ma Wensheng walked in front of Wang Shouren. Almost face to face, gritted his teeth and said, "Count me wrong, okay!" β
Wang Shouren smiled: "You were wrong. β
Ma Wensheng took a sip of tea and calmed down. Only then did I see Chang Feng standing at the door of the lobby: "Yo, Chang Feng, you are here." β
Chang Feng smiled: "Ma Laobu is angry." Shouren is a young man. The young man did not know how to speak. β
Wang Shouren said: "Brother Chang's words are wrong. The military department discusses military strategy, regardless of priority, but only right and wrong. β
Ma Wensheng said magnanimously: "What Wang Shouren said is right. I did have a problem with the use of troops back then. β
"Oh yes, Chang Feng, what are you doing in the military department?"
Chang Feng said: "It's nothing. Come to Shouren for tea and chat. β
Liu Daxia said: "Go to the Wuxuan Division to drink tea!" I'm afraid he'll Ma Lao to death. β
Ma Wensheng glared at his old friend Liu Daxia: "Is my strength so small?" β
Chang Feng and Wang Shouren went to the Wuxuan Division and sat down to drink tea.
Chang Feng said: "Brother Shouren." I met a terrible opponent. β
Wang Shouren added tea to Chang Feng: "Oh? β
Chang Feng said: "A businessman is still a businesswoman. A huge network of relationships has been woven between the DPRK and China. β
"This network is escorting her illegal business."
"From the first-rank civil official to the seven-rank county order, she was all used as a chess piece."
"This businesswoman killed one of my robes. I wanted to avenge the robe, but I was hindered by the big net behind her. β
Wang Shouren took a sip of tea and thought thoughtfully.
After a while, Wang Shouren spoke: "That's not right. β
Chang Feng asked, "What's wrong?" β
Wang Shouren said: "No matter how rich a businessman is, no matter how clever his skills are. It is also regarded as inferior by officials. β
"How can officials be willing to be pawns of merchants?"
"Is there a possibility. Merchants are pawns! The chess players are those officials! β
Wang Shouren's words woke up the dreamer!
Wang Shouren is indeed a man full of wisdom. Whatever is something, just tell him a rough idea, and he can get to the bottom of it.
Chang Feng was indeed wrong.
In the words of later generations, Yan Pan'er was just the white gloves of Xie Qian's gang and a chess piece.
She was never a chess player, just a pawn.
The real chess players are those civil officials and eunuchs who profit from the smuggling trade.
The so-called chess pieces. Dispensable, it can be discarded by the player at any time.
Chang Feng patted his brain: "Brother Shouren, I see it." It's me who is confused. β
Chang Feng already had an idea in his heart.
If Yan Pan'er threatens the interests of those chess players. Will the chess players still protect her? The players probably won't hesitate to remove her from the board.
is just a businessman, and he really thinks of himself as the boss behind the scenes who controls hundreds of officials?
Chang Feng stood up happily: "I have to go back to Weili to handle the case." Three days later, I had my birthday, and you remember coming to my house for a drink. β
Wang Shouren smiled: "Cheng." I'll bring you a couple of pot helmets to serve you as a snack. β
Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei. I saw that Xu Fatzi was still sitting in the duty room.
Chang Feng asked: "Why don't you go to the Min Chamber of Commerce to protect the little widow?" β
Xu Fatzi said: "She's a fart." Let a duke protect it, what a big pomp. β
"I have already sent a hundred robes to the Min Chamber of Commerce. A glance at the evening is all it takes. β
Chang Feng said, "Don't." That little widow has a lot of charm and has an appetite for you. It was really a wave within a wave, wave after wave, wave after wave. β
"She likes to sleep with powerful people. You're seeing people who are going to take the duke's title. Can she secretly send you Qiubo? β
"When the time comes, you will be disrespectful. If you take care of her for me, you should be angry for me. β
Chang Feng said that Xu Fatzi was moved.
Fat Xu got up: "Okay." I'll go to the Fujian Chamber of Commerce. β
Chang Feng said: "If you sleep with her, she will let you be a shareholder of Shuangmu Club." You don't refuse. β
Xu Fatzi said, "Probably not." She's so clear-eyed. Our brothers are famous for wearing a pair of pants in the capital, can she not know? β
"How could she possibly let me enter the Shuangmu Society and snoop on her secrets?"
Chang Feng said: "You are wrong. What she wants to do most at the moment is to pull my closest friends into the water. β
"In short, whether she gives you the body or the silver, you will take it all."
Xu Fatzi was puzzled: "Don't hurt the fat man." β
Chang Feng smiled: "After so many years, when have I ever hurt you?" Isn't it more profitable to have both wealth and sex? Go for it. β
Xu Fatzi clapped his hands: "Gotcha!" Widow is good, she can do anything. I'm going to die of exhaustion in her bed, and you remember to go collect my body. β
After Xu Fatzi left, Chang Feng returned home and found Liu Bingyi, the old Taishan.
Chang Feng asked: "Old Taishan." When will Yan Paner's dividend conference be held? Can you get in? β
A son-in-law and a half-son, Liu Bingyi has nothing to hide: "Eight days later, it will be in the Fujian Chamber of Commerce." β
"I'll be able to go in if I go in. But she's already given me dividends for the past three years. I wasn't going to join in the fun. β
Chang Feng asked Liu Bingyi in detail about some details about the Shuangmu Society. Liu Bingyi knew what he knew, and told Chang Feng without reservation.
In the next morning, Chang Feng called Zhang Cai, Basha, and You Jingwu to the house.
Chang Feng said: "I have already figured out a way to deal with the Shuangmu Society and avenge Brother Tianjue. β
"But it's a risky move. Do you dare to take the risk for me? β
Zhang Cai was busy showing his loyalty: "If it weren't for you, Master Chang, I would still be an inconspicuous little flag now." To do things for you, I will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. β
Basha is more honest and not good at talking: "I am the same." β
You Jingwu said: "If the son does not take revenge on his father, he will be a man in vain." Don't take the risk, even if you let me die, I won't say anything. β
Chang Feng clapped his hands: "It's done!" Listen to me. β
Chang Feng explained like this, so and so and
In the evening, Chang Ponu returned from the East Palace. He held a rare golden conch in his hand.
Chang Feng asked casually: "Where did you come from?" β
Chang Ponu replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewarded it." There was a Fujian merchant who paid tribute to a bunch of rare things in the sea in the East Palace. β
Chang Feng frowned: Yan Pan'er actually stretched out his hand to the East Palace? This woman will never be able to do it if she does not get rid of it.
Chang Feng has already made up his mind. The principle of this time is: only destroy the Lin family in Quanzhou, and do not move the network behind her.
That network is too big. He couldn't move even if he wanted to.
Destroying the Lin family can be regarded as avenging You Tianjue.
If one's power is limited, one should make a compromise choice.
Chang Feng's choice was right.
And the way to achieve the goal is to let Yan Paner threaten the interests of the entire network.
At least to create the illusion that Yan Paner threatens the interests of those powerful.
Plainly. It's still Jinyiwei's old business, planting.
Chang Feng stretched his waist and stared at the sky. He was in a much better mood when he figured out the way.
Recommend a friend: "Wedged into the mythical life", the mythical galaxy shines on the spiritual world, and countless mythical worlds are as endless as grains of sand. Spread your name in the mythical world, you can be elevated to 'god', and the more believers, the wider the realm of the gods, and the power will be boundless! And Su Qin, who can travel through the spiritual world and the earth, began to gain the belief of the 'True Martial Emperor' from Wudang Mountain.
