Chang Feng installed a total of eight internal responses in the two mansions of Liu Jian and Xie Qian. These eight people are all servants and maids of Liu and Xie.

Even the core members of the civil official group like Jiao Fang didn't know where the six boxes of eight tigers' incriminating evidence were stored, let alone these eight servants, so they naturally didn't know.

Chang Feng is a little difficult. If you want to find anything, you have to have at least a direction. But now there is no direction.

Changfu.

Qian Ning, Wang Miaoxin, Shi Wenyi, Zhang Cai, and Basha gathered together.

These five people were brought out by Chang Feng, and they were all confidants. Chang Feng consulted with them about finding the "Tiger Sin Box".

Basha said: "At the beginning, the handsome man was looking for the accounts of the Shuangmu Society in the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, first setting fires, and then 'fighting the fire'. In the name of firefighting, the Fujian Chamber of Commerce was emptied. Later, he used all kinds of means to find out the accounts. ”

"I don't think it's better to do it again? While Liu and Xie were on duty in the cabinet, set a fire to their mansion."

Chang Feng waved his hand: "No!" Shoufu and Gelaofu are not the guild halls of local merchants. The civilian officials had taken control of the Five Cities Division five years ago. The mansions of Liu and Xie were all guarded by soldiers and horses. Even if there is a fire, it will not be our turn to fight the fire. And the people of these two families will not listen to us and leave obediently at all. ”

Qian Ning said: "It's better to use the old method and tie up the ticket." tied up the children of Liu and Xie. Forced them to hand over the Tiger Sin Box. ”

Chang Feng shook his head again and again: "No." That's a scareless thing. ”

Chang Feng didn't tell his subordinates thoroughly. The civilian clique intends to get rid of the Eight Tigers in 10 days. Similarly, Emperor Zhengde and the Eight Tigers also planned to purge civil officials after ten days.

Qian Ning said: "Chang Ye thinks the method of kidnapping tickets is dirty? ”

Chang Feng sighed: "Alas. I have been in Jinyi Wei for 20 years, and I have used dirtier methods. It's so dirty that you can't imagine it. ”

"I don't want you to kidnap tickets, it's not because it's dirty. There are some things that I can't tell you. In short, it is not feasible to tie up tickets. ”

"And I know the ruthless civil servants. In order to get rid of political opponents, dominate the court, and pursue supreme power. They can even abandon their children. ”

Qian Ning said viciously: "In my opinion, it's better not to do it twice." Assassinated Liu Jian and Xie Qian. ”

"As long as they die, the civil servants will be leaderless. What if the tiger sin box is handed over to the emperor? You need to know that the emperor also wants to get rid of Liu and Xie! ”

Chang Feng said: "It's wrong. The emperor wants to get rid of Liu and Xie, but he will never kill Liu and Xie. Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher. The name of killing the teacher, the emperor does not want to and cannot carry it. ”

"Taking a step back, if the emperor really killed Liu and Xie, he will definitely find a scapegoat. Who do you think the emperor will make a scapegoat? ”

Basha on the side blurted out: "Jinyiwei." ”

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "The grandfather killed Hu Weiyong, and made our Jinyiwei's ancestor and Ti Shuai Mao Xiang a scapegoat; The grandfather killed Lan Yu and made the second handsome Jiang Zhen a scapegoat; Taizong Ye killed Xie Jin, and made Yongle Chaoti Shuai Ji Gang a scapegoat. ”

"Mao Xiang, Jiang Xuan, and Ji Gang killed people for Taizu and Taizong. In the end, he ended up with a black pot and a dead man. I don't want to be them. ”

Chang Feng's words made Qian Ning's heart sour.

Chang Feng said that he regarded himself as a handsome. But nominally, the commander Qian Ning is the handsome!

Shi Wenyi interjected: "It can't be set on fire, it can't be killed, and it can't be kidnapped. Then there is nothing to be done. ”

When Chang Feng heard this, he smiled dumbly: "The civil officials all say that our Jinyi Guards are a group of butchers. Thinking about what they say makes sense, too. The first means that come to mind for what we want to do are to kill people, set fires, and kidnap tickets. ”

Zhang Cai said: "This matter still has to be discussed with Gonggong Liu for a long time. The matter of Liu and Xie secretly hiding the tiger crime box was, after all, it was discovered by Gonggong Liu. ”

Chang Feng remembered that Liu Jin had said that he had placed two internal responses beside Liu and Xie. Liu Jin did not say the identities of these two internal responses.

Thinking of this, Chang Feng said: "In this way, I'll go to Gonggong Liu to discuss it again." Go back to the guard first. ”

The crowd dispersed. Liu Xiaoyan walked in.

Liu Xiaoyan said: "You brought those five guys, don't you discuss the killing, right?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "No, I'm discussing finding something crucial." ”

Liu Xiaoyan told Chang Feng: "A few days ago, Daoist Zhang came to the house. He said that the blood in our house is too heavy, which is not conducive to Ping'er's fetus. It is recommended that Ping'er go back to her parents' house to live. ”

"You've killed too many people in your life, and there's not a bloody atmosphere in the house."

Daoist Zhang, the favored minister of the Empress Dowager Zhou of the Hongzhi Dynasty and the Jinyi Guard, has resigned for many years and is already 60 years old this year. He now lives outside the city in Qingshuiguan, and every time he enters the city, he comes to Changfu to walk around.

Chang Feng wanted to make a joke with his wife, and was about to say, "Haven't you killed someone too?" The words came to his lips and he swallowed again.

Chang Feng said: "Then let Ping'er go back to her parents' house." Li Dongyang has been a prodigy since he was a child. Because of his talent, he was summoned by Emperor Jing three times when he was four, six, and eight years old. At the age of eight, he entered the Shuntian Mansion School, and at the age of sixteen, he was promoted to the top of the gold list at the age of seventeen, and the mansion of the first full of learning was auspicious, which must be conducive to raising a fetus. ”

After Yingzong was reinstated, he abolished the Jingtai Emperor and changed it to "King Yu" and "戾", and was not allowed to enter the emperor's mausoleum. During the Chenghua period, Emperor Chenghua overturned the case for his uncle and named him "Emperor Gongren Kang Dingjing". Therefore, Chang Feng called it "Emperor Jing".

Liu Xiaoyan said with a smile: "I hope that our grandson will follow his grandfather after he is born, not you." ”

Chang Feng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Yes." Don't follow me. Before Ma Lao Butang left Beijing, he commented in front of the emperor that I was 'cunning, ruthless, bloody, like a butcher.' There is a conscience, but not much'. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Knowing a son is like a father, and knowing a husband is like a wife." Not to mention, Ma Lao Butang's evaluation of you is quite pertinent. ”

Chang Feng put down the tea bowl and suddenly said with a serious face: "Actually, Li Dongyang is more cunning than me. When necessary, he will be more ruthless than I am! ”

At the end of the day, Chang Feng came to Liu Jin's outer house.

Liu Jin is on an errand in the palace at the moment. Three months ago, Emperor Zhengde ordered him to supervise the construction and build a leopard house next to the Taiye Pond in Xiyuan. Recently, he has been serving Emperor Zhengde in the leopard room.

The leopard room is a place for Emperor Zhengde to be happy with lewdness.

The Eight Tigers selected a full 300 beauties for Emperor Zhengde and summoned them in the leopard room for Emperor Zhengde.

In addition to the beautiful women in the leopard room, they are beasts. There are tigers, lions, leopards, and rare birds. Because Emperor Zhengde liked to watch leopards fight for meat pieces, it was named "Leopard Room".

Like the attitude towards the buying and selling street. Although the civil officials were opposed to the establishment of the leopard room, they stopped on the spot and did not do anything to admonish them.

The young son of heaven was addicted to playing with women and animals, and neglected political affairs, which was conducive to the consolidation of power by civil officials.

Chang Feng knows the true purpose of the leopard house.

Jiang Bin introduced the robes and fierce generals he had served in the border army to Emperor Zhengde. After Emperor Zhengde summoned them back to Beijing, he let them live in the Xiyuan Leopard Room as "leopard slaves" who tamed leopards.

Every day, Emperor Zhengde studied martial arts and discussed military strategies with them.

This is not only the young son of heaven learning from the fierce generals of a hundred battles to lead the army, but also the young son of heaven is inspecting their skills.

When necessary, this group of "leopard slaves" will be officially transferred from the border army generals to the Beijing camp generals to help the Zhengde Emperor firmly control the military power.

Of course, there are more than 300 beauties, Emperor Zhengde is the age of blood and strength, and he is not as dedicated as the previous emperor. In addition to doing the right thing about grabbing military power in the leopard room, he also did the right thing about sleeping with beautiful women.

For the emperor, sleeping with a beautiful woman is of course the right thing - to open up branches and leaves for the Zhu Ming royal family.

Chang Feng saw that Liu Jin was not in the outer house, so he asked a little eunuch to go to the palace to call him back.

An hour later, Liu Jin returned to the outer house.

Liu Jin smiled: "Little uncle, guess what I was busy with just now?" ”

Chang Feng said: "How could I guess." ”

Liu Jin sat on the chair: "I'm going to watch Yasan purify." ”

Chang Feng was surprised: "Purify? ”

Liu Jin said: "Yasan, this guy is really bold. actually had an affair with a girl in the leopard room. Although the girl has not served the emperor, she has no status as a concubine. But after all, it was a woman who paid tribute to the emperor. ”

"The emperor felt that Yasan could speak Western, which was extremely rare, and he was reluctant to kill him. Just let me find a knife in the palace and castrate him. ”

"Now Yasan is an eighth-rank firefighter under the supervision of the Eight Classics."

Chang Feng said: "No way, there is a knife on the head of the color word." Living with the emperor in the flower bush of the leopard room, it is also human nature that Yasan can't control his trouser belt. It's okay to cut it, but after cutting it, there will be one less big trouble in life. ”

Liu Jin asked: "Little uncle, you are in a hurry to let me come back, what is the matter?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "I have no clue about finding those six wooden boxes. Come to think of it, you have to tell me who the secret stake you planted next to Liu and Xie is. I also had a good idea to find the whereabouts of the wooden box by the dark pile. ”

Liu Jin stared at Chang Feng and thought for a long time.

Chang Feng said: "We are a family, and you don't even hide it from me?" ”

Liu Jin didn't say a word.

Chang Feng said: "I don't even know who the dark pile is, how else can I help your eight fathers-in-law?" ”

Liu Jin gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, and told Chang Feng two names: "The left waiter of the ministry, Jiao Fang." Selected Officials of the Ministry of Writing, Zhang Cai. ”

Chang Feng was dumbfounded when he heard these two names: "Jiao Fang? That is the hardcore backbone of the civil official group, and Liu and Xie are the confidants! has always been inseparable from his father-in-law. Good fellow, he hid deep enough. ”

"Zhang Cai? That's my best friend for more than ten years! Last month, he also came to my house to teach me the art of making art and help me prepare for the exam in two years! He secretly took refuge in you, and I didn't know it? ”

Liu Jin smiled: "Don't you often put a sentence on your lips?" If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will become harmful. ”

Liu Jin didn't have much ink in his stomach, like Chang Feng's conscience, not much but enough.

Chang Feng asked, "How long have they been taking refuge in you?" ”

Liu Jin's answer made Chang Feng gasp: "It's been five or six years." ”

Chang Feng sighed: "It's been five or six years, and I haven't noticed it. In the future, I will no longer dare to brag about the brocade clothes, and I know half of the things in the heavens, and I know all the things on the earth. ”

Liu Jin said: "I don't complain that the little uncle is not well-informed. Everyone must have a few big secrets that outsiders don't know. These two stakes are my biggest secret. ”

Chang Feng actually didn't complain in his heart that Liu Jin was hiding from him. He is an old fried juniper in officialdom, and naturally knows the truth that the identity of the secret pile should be kept strictly secret. The bigger the stake, the more people behind the scenes must be kept secret.

Chang Feng said: "Call them today." How about we discuss the search for the 'Tiger Sin Box'? ”

Speaking of which, Chang Feng knew that he was speechless. Hurriedly said, "Oh, I mean the six big wooden boxes." ”

Liu Jin smiled: "Don't worry, little uncle, I don't taboo this." 'Tiger Sin Box'? It's a fitting name. ”

"The two of them will never come to the next day. After I send the agreed code, they will come to my outhouse at midnight. ”

Chang Feng said: "That's done." Then let them come again in the middle of the night. ”

Liu Jin clapped his hands, and a personal eunuch walked in.

Liu Jin instructed him: "Go, bring the box I have at the head of my bed." ”

After a while, the eunuch brought the box.

Liu Jin opened it and saw a pair of jade bracelets inside.

This pair of jadeite bracelets is clear and pure, and the six jadeite arts of "thick, yang, positive, bright and even" are attached. Flawless, natural. The carvers are also of the highest quality.

Liu Jin said with a smile: "This is a Yunnan jade bracelet that a foreign official returned to Beijing to honor me, called 'Toutian Bracelet'. It is an exaggeration to say that it is worth a thousand taels of gold, and a bracelet of thousands of taels of gold is still worth it. ”

"I've heard that a pregnant woman wearing a jade bracelet is good for the baby. My brother's daughter-in-law is five months pregnant, right? You take it back and give it to her. Even if I'm a big brother, I have a little heart. ”

Chang Feng shirked: "This is too precious." ”

Liu Jin said: "Jingwu protects his sweetheart for the emperor outside Beijing. Naturally, I had to take care of his wife in Kyonai. If you don't accept it, you'll look down on me, my old nephew. ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Then I'm welcome!" ”

Liu Jin said: "What's polite." Having said that, if the Eight Tigers fall, you and Li Dongyang will probably follow suit. At that time, Ping'er's hand was not wearing a jade bracelet, but a flail for the family of the prisoner. ”

Liu Jin's voice revealed a hint of threat.

Chang Feng was silent.

He knew that what Liu Jin said was the truth.

The Eight Tigers and Chang Feng have long been in a relationship of both losses and prosperity.

To put it mildly, among the Eight Tigers, four of them borrowed the momentum of Chang Feng to make their fortunes.

Liu Jin and Wei Bin needless to say. Qiu Ju was just an old and young eunuch who watched Huangzhuang. Because Emperor Hongzhi gave the Chang family a piece of land in the imperial village. In the spring, I always take my family to go over and get acquainted with Qiu.

Chang Feng said in front of Emperor Hongzhi: "Qiu Ju looks at the Huangzhuang well, and the crops in the Huangzhuang are growing well. ”

Qiu Ju was transferred to the palace by Emperor Hongzhi and became one of the "Eight Tigers" step by step

If the Eight Tigers lose power, they will be punished. The civilian-bureaucratic clique is bound to liquidate the Eight Tigers. Changfeng bore the brunt.

Chang Feng stood in line with the Eight Tigers, in addition to not wanting to sit back and watch the civil official group cover the sky with one hand, he also had the selfish desire to ensure the safety of the Chang family.

In public and private, Chang Feng must find the "Tiger Sin Box" for the Eight Tigers this time.

Chang Feng got up: "Then I'll go back to the guard first." Wait until midnight to come back to your outhouse. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng turned around and left.

Liu Jin stood up and shouted, "Wait! ”

Chang Feng asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Jin picked up the box containing the jade bracelet: "You forgot to bring the jade bracelet back to my brother and daughter-in-law Ping'er!" ”
