Chapter 52
Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei listened to Yu Changyuan's eloquent words, which were confirmed by what Zhuang Hengyun said before, and they had already guessed who the man in Tsing Yi was. It's just that it's naturally inconvenient to say it at this time, so both of them pretended to be puzzled. Yu Chang saw that the two of them looked confused, but the two of them were shocked by what he said, and then said: "That Tsing Yi said: 'Do you know who I am?' I shook my head and said, "I was trying to ask for advice." The man smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Yun, and the cursive characters are flying." He is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei. ’
As soon as he said this, I jumped up in fright, and with a flick of my sleeve, I knocked over another teacup on the table, and the cup was about to roll down the table to the ground, but I saw Yun Feiyang stretch out his right hand, and at the last moment, he actually held the cup in his hand. This kind of reaction and skill, I can't match.
"I said in a trembling voice: 'Lord Yun, are you here to get me?' Yun Feiyang said: "I said, if I wanted to take you, I would have tied you up and sent you to the official a long time ago, so why bother with this matter? As long as Mr. Yu does this for me, we will write off the transactions you have done, and there will be great benefits, so it depends on whether Mr. Yu is not on the road." ’
"Jinyiwei came to the door, how dare I refuse? There is an abyss in front of me, and I can only go down hard. At that moment, I agreed, Yun Feiyang was very happy, and said to me: "You must find Ma Kongkong, and then gather a group of masters of the rivers and lakes to go to Huguang to rob a big tomb." I was startled, and muttered, "My lord, robbing the tomb is a capital crime...... Yun Feiyang smiled, "You help the imperial court, and you are afraid of a capital crime that is not a capital crime." I thought about it, Yun Feiyang continued: "Although Mr. Yu is not a top character in the rivers and lakes, he has a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes. I also fancy Mr. Yu's strengths, so I asked you to be the contact person for this transaction. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and put it in front of me, and I glanced at it, only to see the names of forty or fifty people written on the paper, led by Lu Zhongfu, the head of the Kongtong faction. Yun Feiyang said: "The people on this list will participate in this operation, you can contact them, and we will start next month." ’
"The Kongtong faction has been declining in recent years, and it has become a second- or third-rate small gang in the rivers and lakes. But twelve years ago, Lu Zhongfu, the head of the Kongtong faction, was very famous, and he was almost invincible in the northwest with a long sword, and he was a famous figure in the rivers and lakes. Besides, this person has a chivalrous reputation, so he never thought that he would be driven by Jinyiwei. Yun Feiyang saw that my face was embarrassed, and said, "Mr. Yu has something to say. I pointed to Lu Zhongfu's name and said, "Lord Haojiao learned that the villain is just a small character in the rivers and lakes, and if you want to move this head of the Kongtong faction, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." Yun Feiyang just smiled slightly and said, "The people on this list are all related to Jinyiwei. All you have to do is get in touch, and I'll make my own arrangements. ’
"I saw that he was confident, and he knew the ability of Jinyiwei, and I thought that these people on the list also had any handle held by Jinyiwei, so I didn't ask more. Yun Feiyang and I agreed to gather at the Laifu Inn in Luzhou, Huguang'an, on the fifth day of the fifth month. At that moment, I said goodbye and left, first found Ma Kongkong in Henan, and told him about it, and Ma Kongkong immediately agreed. The two of us split up to invite the other helpers on the list. In addition, I also found a few friends who had died, including He Yi, Zhu Ming, and Zhou Jingtian.
"On the first day of May, I rushed to the Laifu Inn in Anluzhou. At that time, there were already many good players, and then Yun Feiyang also came to An Luzhou, accompanied by a eunuch from Dongchang, named Xu En. At this time, almost all the good people who participated in the operation had arrived, and Yun Feiyang told me that the purpose of this trip was to go to the mausoleum of Lao Xingxian to steal a copy of Emperor Xiaozong's edict. As long as the edict is in hand, all the gold, silver and jewels in the tomb will be divided among us.
After Yun Feiyang told me the details, he also told me not to tell anyone else about this. Then he found Ma Kongkong and asked me to be the liaison, Ma Kongkong was responsible for collecting the edict, and the rest of the people didn't know what to go to the mausoleum to get. After we had a good discussion, Yun Feiyang and I said goodbye and went back to the guest room to rest. It was also a coincidence that I actually saw Zhuang Lao Er at the door. It's just that at that time, he was not called Zhuang Hengyun, but Zhuang Yulou. ”
When Yu Changchang said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei, and said, "The name Zhuang Yulou, have you also heard of it?"
Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei deliberately made a look of surprise and said, "I didn't expect that the second owner of the village was the flying thief of the past, it's really surprising." ”
Yu Changchang nodded and said, "I also made a few deals with the second child at that time, and helped him sell a few pieces of antique jade. I saw him staring at a few people, and knew he had a deal to do. And he followed him. That night, he had been watching outside the guest room, and I showed up to recognize him. I know that the second child has done a good job, and if he can join, he will be a good helper when robbing tombs. So he took him to meet Yun Feiyang and Xu En. These two also knew the name of the second child, so they agreed that he would join us as well.
"On the second day, we went to the tomb of King Xingxian, and we were divided into three teams, and I became the liaison of the three teams, and we moved with the third team. Lu Zhongfu, the head of the Kongtong faction, led the first team to enter the mausoleum, and at that time, our third team had not yet entered the mountain gate, and was suddenly attacked by the enemy. These people had strange martial arts, first using hidden weapons to raid and kill more than a dozen of our companions, and then they covered up the killing. On the mountain road, we were suddenly attacked by the other side, and more than a dozen good men were killed and wounded at once, and there was chaos. I saw my companions who were higher than my martial arts being killed by the killers, and I was terrified and fled desperately into the woods. ”
When Yu Changchang said this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, obviously thinking of the terrifying scene of that day. After a while, he continued: "After I fled into the woods, I only chose deep woods and grassy places to hide. I didn't expect that there were people who had the same thoughts as me, and I met several people along the way. But to my surprise, some of these people I have contacted, and some of them are quite face-to-face. I wondered in my heart, could it be that Yun Feiyang had found someone else besides me? But the situation was critical, and I couldn't think about it too much, so I finally hid in the grass under a cliff. When the black-clothed killers followed, one of his companions hiding nearby couldn't hold his breath and jumped out to escape, only to hack the black-clothed men to death. Fortunately, his death saved my life, and the man in black did not stop any longer, and immediately chased forward.
"I hid in the grass, and I didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere. It wasn't until late at night that he quietly got out and fled back to An Luzhou like a lost dog. On the way, I met Zhu Ming and Zhou Jingtian, who were also embarrassed, and the three of us just wanted to escape. When we fled to the city, the city gate was closed, so we discussed it and had to hide in the mountain temple outside the city. Unexpectedly, I met the second and third children in the mountain temple, and it turned out that they also escaped.
"The five of us told each other about what happened to the Xingxian Wang's Mausoleum, and the second said that the eunuch Xu En was killed by a mysterious old man, except for the five of us, Ma Kongkong mysteriously disappeared, and the other companions died in the Xingxian Wang's Mausoleum. The more we thought about it, the more frightened we became, and we kept our eyes open until dawn.
"As soon as the morning dawned, we hurried into An Luzhou, and then found the Laifu Inn, wanting to go to Yun Feiyang to discuss. Unexpectedly, Yun Feiyang had already left, and listened to the guards he left behind say that it was an important matter to be done in the court, and Yun Feiyang had to leave first. When he left, he left an edict asking us to obey Xu En's orders.
"The five of us have no choice for a while, Xu En is dead, if we continue to stay in An Luzhou, I am afraid that we will be found by those black-clothed killers at any time. We all shudder at the thought of the ferocity and viciousness of these killers. At that moment, the five of them discussed it and left An Luzhou. I didn't dare to go back to Fenyang, thinking that there was a Zhuangzi near the capital, so I took them to the capital overnight. After that, he settled down in Zhuangzi, and gradually became famous, and then there was the Five Tiger Villa. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Changchang smiled bitterly: "Although I was the contact person back then, but now that I think about it, Yun Feiyang must have a back hand, and I am afraid that it is not only our team that will go to rob the tomb." Although it was the Taishan faction that also participated in this operation, I did not find out. ”
