In the first year of Zhengde, the ninth day of October.

As soon as the sky was bright, Shi Wenyi came to Changfu in a hurry. He almost trotted all the way to Chang Feng's bedroom and shouted: "Handsome man, there is something urgent!" ”

Liu Xiaoyan put on Chang Feng's clothes, and Chang Feng walked out: "What's the urgency?" ”

Shi Wenyi lowered his voice: "Xie Gan finally appeared." ”

Chang Feng's eyes lit up: "Didn't this guy hold back his children's affection?" ”

Shi Wenyi nodded: "He has already entered Xixiaojing Hutong!" No retinue! According to what you told before, as soon as he gets out of the alley, he will be kidnapped by a group of 'Liaodong Qiu Ba'! ”

Chang Feng used to lure Xie Yan to show up, and he bought the maid next to Haitang and the doctor, so he wasted a lot of thoughts. This thought was not in vain!

Chang Feng said: "Let's go, go to Xixiaojing Hutong." ”

Chang Feng and Shi Wenyi rode fast horses and came to the outside of Xixiaojing Hutong.

The staring Baihu said: "Handsome man, Xie Yan has been in for half an hour. ”

Chang Feng said: "The matter is urgent, don't wait for him to come out!" Let those brothers who pretend to be Liaodong soldiers rush in and tie him up immediately! ”

Baihu obeyed, put his finger in his mouth and whistled.

Five people wearing mandarin duck jackets, hats on their heads, and border soldiers rushed into the small courtyard.

Xie Yan is comforting the begoniness of the "slippery tire" for several days.

Suddenly, five Qiu Ba rushed into the courtyard, kicked open the door of the hall, and appeared in front of Xie Gan.

The leader of the small flag scolded: "Xie Gan, I will kill your mother!" You dogs are withholding our military expenses in Liaodong, and you want to starve to death tens of thousands of brothers in Liaodong, right? ”

Xie Yan was furious: "What are you?" How dare you trespass into my house? Get out! ”

Xiaoqi scolded: "Lao Tzu not only wants to break into this kennel today, but also tie up your dog to Liaodong and let the brothers in Pao Ze fall!" Brethren, up! ”

A group of Qiu Bayi rushed up, and after a while, they tied Xie Yan and Haitang into zongzi.

The Xie family has a very strict family education. Xie Qian was most taboo for his sons to raise prostitutes outside. Therefore, Xie Yan did not publicize it, and only found a maid for Begonia to serve.

Now the maid Ying'er has run away. There was no one else in the quadrangle.

The Qiu Ba successfully tied up the two tickets, and pushed and dragged them into a donkey cart parked at the mouth of the alley.

Shi Wenyi saw that the robes had already succeeded, and asked Chang Feng: "Master Chang, do you want to send them to the edict prison to torture them?" ”

Chang Feng said: "No, take it to the inner factory." ”

Shi Wenyi was puzzled: "Shuai Ye, what are you doing when you escort them to the inner factory?" It's not our territory. ”

Chang Feng smiled slyly: "If we lose to the civil officials in the end, it will be the inner factory that kidnapped Xie Gan, not Jinyiwei who kidnapped Xie Gan." ”

Forty-two-year-old Chang Feng is already an old fox, an old loach, and an old sparrow in Dongting Lake.

He had prepared for the worst.

If the civil servant brought down the Eight Tigers. He formed an alliance with his second assistant, Li Dongyang. With Emperor Zhengde, Empress Dowager Zhang, and Empress Xia as backers, plus the strong reinforcement of in-law Li Dongyang, even if the Eight Tigers lose power, it may not be so easy for Liu and Xie to let Butcher Chang get out of the court.

Kidnapping the son of the cabinet member, it's better to throw the pot to the Eight Tigers first. The matter of looking for the Tiger Sin Box was originally done for the Eight Tigers.

The crowd came to the inner factory.

Chang Feng personally interrogated Xie Gan.

When Xie Yan saw Chang Feng, he was furious: "I thought it was Liaodong Qiu Ba who tied me up!" It turned out to be your constant butcher! ”

"Butcher, do you know what the consequences of kidnapping me are?"

Chang Feng waved his hand: "Wrong." This is not a kidnapping! A few border army brothers from Liaodong, report Xie Xie for embezzling Liaodong's military spending. ”

"They took the initiative to tie you up and send you to the inner factory."

"You know, the inner factory has just been set up, and it has the responsibility of supervising the illegal affairs of hundreds of officials. Since someone has reported it, it is natural for the internal factory to interrogate the officials who have been reported. ”

Xie Yan scolded: "Chang butcher! Don't be yin and yang here! Liaodong's military spending is still in the Taicang treasury! There is no dialing at all! Can I be greedy for ink? ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Yes." I asked the household department, and it was true that the military salary had not been allocated. You don't have a chance to be greedy for ink either. ”

Xie Yan said: "Then why don't you let me go quickly?" ”

Chang Feng said: "The greed for military salaries is nothing. But I remembered something else. The matter of the two Huai salt cases. ”

"You are the mastermind behind Liang Bohong, an important criminal in the Lianghuai salt case, who instructed the poisonous yellow bird to assassinate Liang Bohong, in the Beizang Station, right?"

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, and then pushed 625: "What poisonous yellow finch, what Liang Bohong, I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

Previously, Chang Feng released the news, saying that the poisonous yellow finch could not be assassinated, and was corrected on the spot by Jinyiwei.

Xie Yan thought that the five poisonous yellow finches had returned to the west, and Chang Feng had no basis for his empty words. All he had to do was deny it.

Unexpectedly, Chang Feng slapped his face.

Several wrestlers escorted Cui Xian, the only woman in the poisonous yellow sparrow, into the interrogation room.

After more than half a year of torture in prison, Cuixian has long lost the sharpness of a female killer in the rivers and lakes. The wrestlers in the edict will take her dry road, and she will never open the waterway. Obedient like a Datong aunt in Yihong Mansion.

Chang Fengdao pointed at Xie Yan and asked Cui Xian, "Do you know this person?" ”

Cui Xian replied happily: "If you go back to the official master, this is the fourth prince of Xie." He gave us five people 8,000 taels of silver, and asked us to assassinate the former Liang Bohong, the envoy of the two Huai salt transporters, in Beizangyi. ”

Xie Yan said angrily: "You, you bloody mouth!" ”

Cui Xian said: "On the night you paid the money, you still took a fancy to me." You've had bed with me, and you have a black mole on your right inner thigh. ”

Chang Feng said with a smile: "I picked up Xie Shi's pants to verify whether Cuixian's words are true!" ”

Shi Wenyi rubbed his hands: "Gotcha!" "I'm going to pick up Xie Yan's pants.

Xie Yan hurriedly said, "No need!" I admit the matter of the North Tibetan Station! But I hired someone to kill Liang Bohong, purely because Liang Bohong embezzled and accepted bribes, which made me indignant! ”

"I'm paying out of my own pocket to get rid of corrupt officials for the court!"

Chang Feng said: "Really? Take the Cuixian down. Come on, give Xie Sigongzi a big punishment! ”

Xie Gan's scalp tingled when he heard the word "big punishment". He had long heard of the cruelty of Jinyiwei's punishment.

Xie Yan said: "Chang Butcher, no, Chang Du Dudu." If there is anything to discuss, don't be rude. After all, I am the son of the old family! ”

"Flutter", Chang Feng laughed: "You have said it, you are the son of the old man of the pavilion, not the elder himself!" ”

"Jinyiwei does have a rule that he can't be punished. It's a pity that you're just a five-grade experience officer! ”

Shi Wenyi asked: "Master Chang Shuai, should you play the pipa for him first?" I want to see if the ribs of the old man are different from ordinary people. ”

Xie Yan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Everyone in Beijing knows what kind of torture Jinyiwei's "playing the pipa" is.

Chang Feng said: "People thank you for saying that there is something to discuss." I'm the governor of the Governor's Mansion, and if you want to talk about it, he's still my subordinate. Shangguan naturally has to take care of his subordinates. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng took a sip of tea. Then he said: "Xie Gan, where is the tiger sin box?" ”

Xie Yan pretended to be stupid: "What tiger sin box, I don't know." ”

Chang Feng said: "It is the accusations, testimonies and witnesses of the eight fathers-in-law in the palace that you secretly collected. There are more than 800 charges and testimonies. There are more than 200 witnesses. ”

"You don't have to lie and pretend you don't know. Yan Xiaoqi of the Arrest Department has taken refuge in me. He told me personally that he handed these things over to you. ”

Xie Yan frowned: "Yan Xiaoqi is backwater?" Impossible! ”

Chang Feng said: "It's not important anymore. Importantly, you tell me the whereabouts of the Tiger Sin Box! ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. Even a Jianghu killer like Poison Yellow Bird can't stand the torture of Jinyiwei. Don't say that you are a pampered boy since childhood. ”

Shi Wenyi helped on the side: "Handsome man, I almost forgot." His good begonia was also bet on the inner factory. That little girl is Xie Shi's beloved, and she may not know the whereabouts of the Tiger Sin Box. ”

"I'm going to interrogate her? This little girl looks quite charming, hehe. I don't know if I can endure the punishment of the wooden donkey. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Don't be a wooden donkey." The pestle on the donkey's back has been replaced with iron last month. Now it's the iron donkey. ”

"You went to ride an iron donkey for Begonia. I'm here to play the pipa for Xie Experience. ”

The two sang and harmonized. Xie Gan's face turned pale with fright.

To say that Xie Yan is indeed a pampered son, he has no bones.

Yan Xiaoqi of the Supervision and Arrest Division was at least spat out by Chang Feng for at least four layers of additional officials.

Chang Feng hadn't yet punished Xie Gan, and just by threatening him, he had already pried Xie Gan's mouth open.

Xie Yan said: "Don't punish me. I say! ”

Chang Feng said: "That's right! Those who know the times are Junjie! These instruments of torture are enough to pry your mouth open. Anyway, sooner or later, why do you have to suffer all that? ”

"Say, where are you hiding the Tiger Sin Box?"

Xie Yan said: "Before I say it, you have to promise me two things. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What are the two things? ”

Xie Yan said: "The first thing, don't tell anyone, is that I leaked the location of the Tiger Sin Box. ”

"The second thing, if my father loses power. You must protect me from my father's troubles, and help me to keep my office. ”

Chang Feng stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, you are really a good son!" Your father has such a filial son as you, which is really a blessing from the accumulation of virtue in the previous life. It's just a lot of filial piety! ”

"Okay, I can promise you both of these things."

Xie Yan said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. Ji Bu Yinuo is worth a thousand gold! ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes, yes, yes." I'm the most trustworthy. The great husband was born between heaven and earth, and he cannot stand without faith! ”

Xie Yan suddenly changed his proud expression: "You will never think of the location of the Tiger Sin Box." I racked my brains to come up with this. ”

Shi Wenyi on the side was a little impatient: "Don't talk nonsense! If you talk nonsense, I'll go next door and ride an iron donkey for Begonia! The big iron pestle on the donkey's back must be as thick as my arm! ”

Xie Yan said: "Don't." I say. The Tiger Sin Chest is scattered and hidden in six places. The first place, the Camp of Bravery! ”

Chang Feng was surprised: "Serve the Yong Battalion? That's Zhang Yong's father-in-law's territory! Zhang Gonggong is also one of the Eight Tigers. It's really unexpected. ”

Xie Yan said: "This is called dark under the lamp." Ma Guocheng, the commander of the Yongyong Battalion, has secretly taken refuge in my father! ”

Chang Feng frowned, and said in his heart: Liu and Xie really stretched out their hands to Jingying.

Xie Yan became extremely honest under the threat of torture. not only confessed to the location of the first tiger crime box, but also sold Ma Guocheng by the way.

Chang Feng said: "What about the second one?" ”

Xie Yan replied: "In the prison of Daxing County." ”

Chang Feng frowned: "Daxing County Prison? Daxing County has my eyes and ears, how can it hide from my eyes and ears? ”

Xie Yan replied: "Daxing County Ling is the protégé of my father's protégé. I asked him to disguise the charges and testimony as the files of ordinary criminal cases. He also disguised the more than 30 witnesses as criminals. ”

"Who would have thought that the criminal in the prison was actually a witness to the Eight Tigers' lawlessness!"

Chang Feng turned his head to Shi Wenyi and said, "Remove the little banner in charge of the eyes and ears of Daxing County." ”

Chang Feng continued to ask Xie Gan: "What about the third tiger sin box?" ”

Xie Yan said: "In the place where you Jinyi Wei Tiqi likes to go for fun!" Yi Hong Mansion! ”

Chang Feng's face changed: "What? ”

Xie Yan said: "I asked more than 30 people to pass on the testimony and pretend to be businessmen who entered Beijing. The charges and testimonies were packed into boxes and disguised as goods. ”

"How many bad businessmen are there? Wouldn't it be reasonable to stay in the Qinglou for a few days after entering Beijing? ”

"Find a place to stack the goods in the Qinglou, and pay the Qinglou a few dozen taels of silver, of course the Qinglou is very happy!"

"At night, there are a bunch of horsemen in Yihong Mansion looking for fun. How did you come up with the idea that I would dare to store the third Tiger Sin Box there? ”

Chang Feng sighed: "It was really unexpected by me. Nancheng was searched by my robes and regimental soldiers. But they will definitely not go to Soyi Red Mansion! ”

"Who doesn't know that the backer of Yihong Mansion is Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo. Xu Guangzuo is my brother in life and death. They naturally leaked Yihong Mansion! ”

Xie Yan had a proud expression on his face: "The location of the fourth tiger sin box is even more amazing, in the Taicang treasury!" Incriminating evidence and testimony were disguised as accounts and locked in the treasury. ”

"More than 30 witnesses were disguised as soldiers by us."

Chang Feng frowned: "Good means!" Very clever! What about the fifth Tiger Sin Box? ”

Xie Yan said: "The fifth tiger sin box is on a grain ship at Tongzhou Wharf. Floating on the canal all the time. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Well, there is the last one." ”

Xie Yan said: "The last tiger sin box is in the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. ”

Chang Feng took out a piece of paper: "Tell me about the specific place in detail." ”

Xie Yan said the specific locations of the six tiger crime boxes one by one.

After Chang Feng finished recording, he sighed with emotion: "I am from the background of the family. He is best at finding stolen money hidden by corrupt officials. I have to say, your way of hiding things is really clever. ”

Xie Yan said: "I have a question for you. Begonia slippery tire, is it your hands and feet? ”

Chang Feng shook his head: "I'm not so lacking in virtue!" Begonia didn't slip tires at all. I just bribed the maid around her and the doctor who took her pulse, creating the illusion that she had a slippery fetus. ”

Xie Yan gritted his teeth after hearing this: "What? Chang Feng, you trick me? ”

Chang Feng smiled: "What about you? Xie Gan, Xie Gan, your father is also one of the three gentlemen after Hongzhi. I really didn't expect his son to have such soft bones. Before he was tortured, he sold his father. ”

"Your father must know that you are so filial, I am afraid that you will vomit blood alive."

Xie Yan was silent.

Chang Feng got up: "That's it, you are wronged to live in the inner factory for a few days." Wenyi, let's go! ”

Chang Feng and Shi Wenyi returned to Jinyiwei.

He gathered 1,800 wrestlers. Divide into six teams and prepare to go to six places to capture the Tiger Sin Box.

The rest of the four places are easy to say. Ma Guocheng, the main general of the Xiaoyong battalion, has taken refuge in Xie Qian. There will be trouble with a hard way.

The Taicang treasury is not something that anyone can enter if they want to.

So Chang Feng found Zhang Yong and asked Zhang Yong to personally take a team of Jinyi guards to serve the Yong camp.

Chang Feng personally led the team to the Taicang treasury.
