In the middle of the night, there was no starlight at all, and the clouds in the sky were thick and low, as if the highest pavilion in the Heavenly Mansion was about to touch the clouds. The dull air pressure made those insects and toads lose the strength to scream, and it was only when it was too hot to stand that they made a weak sound. There was a faint sound of thunder rolling in the clouds, and you could vaguely see the bright electric light flickering in the gaps in the clouds, and a rainstorm was coming.

Li Feng walked briskly in the alley with the group of green forest bandits he had recruited. Behind him were twenty heroes who were deeply versed in the essence of fighting homes and robbing houses and fighting with open fire, and it was he who sent the signal during the day and recruited them easily. The other Haoqiang didn't know where they had gone, and it was estimated that they were being happy in a corner of Yingtianfu at this time.

The wind with a little smell of rain blew in his face, and the kitten itched in his nose, sneezed fiercely, and shook his head in boredom. He still carried the huge iron rod in his hand, because the treasure knife that Blacksmith Li promised to build for him would take at least two months to make, which was still on the premise of having time and good iron, so he could only continue to use this iron rod when he traveled at night.

When they turned into the alley where Huang Zicheng's house was located, on the eaves more than 20 zhang away behind them, Zhang Sanfeng, who was lying there drinking, suddenly poked his head out. He sighed silently: "These descendants of the Zhu family are really the same as that Zhu Yuanzhang, and they are really what kind of characters they are, and they will be of whatever kind of species." In the middle of the night, send the palace guards out of the house, either annihilation or theft, what other good things can be?...... However, Lao Dao doesn't have the time to take care of this, since he promised Zhu Yuanzhang, let's prepare well. God, if there are swords in the world, how long can Lao Dao stop it? Lao Dao is not an immortal. ”

With the breeze, Zhang Sanfeng floated out far away and left Ying Tianfu. He didn't notice that the kitten, who was extremely sensitive, quickly turned around and glared at his back. Seeing Zhang Sanfeng flying away, the kitten whispered to Li Feng: "Fengzi, that old guy is gone." ”

Li Feng was relieved, he took out a black cloth towel from his arms, and tightly covered half of his face. He said softly: "Miaoji, that old monster is gone, we are not afraid of anything, in this Ying Tianfu, is there anyone more powerful than the two of us?" Li Feng smirked softly a few times, but he also doubted in his heart: "What kind of Tao is this old Taoist cultivator? How come you have seen our actions and have no interest at all?

Suddenly, he suddenly said: "I understand, there are so many little Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain to help him accumulate external strength, all of which are counted on his head, no wonder he is too lazy to do it himself." Li Feng suddenly understood the advantage of having a large number of people, that is, the head of the family or the founding patriarch basically doesn't have to come out to do things, because the merits of his disciples and grandchildren will have his share. For example, if a certain chivalrous man in Wudang has done something good, people will only say: "Look at Zhang Sanfeng, the apprentice who taught it, tsk, it's really ......."

Pouting, Li Feng looked at the twenty excited thieves behind him who put strange masks on their faces. A man who was only about five feet short and weighed only about eighty pounds cheered in a low voice: "Damn, I've been a robber all my life, and it's the first time I've come to the house of this kind of court official to rob me...... Boss, this time we might have a good time. ”

Li Feng snorted: "Go, don't forget my words, whoever dares to ruin my plan, I will ask the kitten to take good care of him." The kitten clenched its fist in fright, and suddenly made a 'crackling' sound, which was very scary. Li Feng commanded softly: "Kitten, you are waiting outside to let the wind out, if there are patrol officers and soldiers coming, you don't care, wait until about a pillar of incense time, you go and make a fuss, and recruit me all the brocade guards and everything." Remember, don't let them see your face. ”

The kitten bared its teeth and smiled innocently: "Don't worry, they can't see my face clearly." Well, I'll just get something to wrap my face in. ”

Li Feng nodded, and with a wave of his hand, twenty green forest heroes floated up at the same time, gently crossed the two-zhang high wall, and entered the courtyard. Li Feng told the kitten again, saying: "Remember, at first, you are not allowed to provoke those patrolling officers and soldiers, and when the time of about a pillar of incense has passed, you will go outside and make a scene, but don't go too far." Seeing the kitten nodding obediently and beginning to tear off his shirt and wrap his face, Li Feng jumped in with confidence.

The twenty thieves had already divided into four groups and groped in all directions, and their task was to find out the layout of Huang Zicheng's family and Fang Xiaoru's family in the shortest possible time. Li Feng rushed to the back garden, found the iron gate connecting the two gardens, he touched the iron door with his hand, and found that the door was not locked, he couldn't help but hey twice, and with a force of both hands, he simply pulled the iron door off the wall.

"Hmm, what do you say about the 'little butterfly'? It is said that it is everyone's beautiful boudoir, and it is usually near the back garden? Hmm, this Huang Zicheng has a daughter, and it is impossible for Fang Xiaoru to have such a big family, and it is impossible not to have a young woman, which is convenient...... As for the 'divider' who said that the vaults of the big families would be hidden in the bedroom of their master, this is the same as I know...... I just don't know where Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru sleep. ”

The body swept up more than ten zhang high, Li Feng lifted a breath of true qi in the air, suspended for three breaths, and saw that there was only one place in the two dark courtyards where there were lights, and suddenly a cloud of green smoke rushed towards that side. It was a small hall, and two yawning maids stood in the doorway, and someone was talking in a whisper. Li Feng's body curled up like a civet cat, and it was so big that it was hidden under the eaves above the heads of the two maids. After a while, he lowered his head slightly, poked a hole in the window paper above the window, and squinted his eyes to look inside.

Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Renshan and three other Confucian people who didn't know Li Feng sat in the room, and Huang Zicheng was full of anger, grabbed the teacup and banged on the table hard, and shouted in a low voice: "That father-in-law An is really unreasonable, what kind of brotherly affection, asking the imperial grandson not to listen to us, it's really a good reason." Xiaoru, what the hell do you think is going on?"

Li Feng frowned, it seemed that they had just started their discussions, it was so late, so what were they doing? But Li Feng immediately came to his senses: "This group of people probably just came back from the palace." As for this Huang Renshan, he suffered a loss during the day, and now Baba came up to him and begged Huang Zicheng to vent his anger. However, seeing Huang Zicheng, they were all angry, so they didn't dare to speak. ”

Fang Xiaoru touched the slight beard on his chin, frowned and took a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed: "This is also an unexpected thing, although Gonggong An has always looked down on us court officials, but after all, he is now our people all the way." But now, why did he suddenly face those vassal kings?"

A Confucian student in his fifties chuckled: "Father-in-law An, but he is just a eunuch, so why should the two of them be so brain-wrenching? The so-called prince of heaven and earth, the way of the monarch and the minister is on the basis of flesh and blood, so is it not ridiculous for Gonggong An to use flesh and blood to persuade the emperor and grandson? The so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, even if they are uncles and brothers, the righteousness of this monarch and ministers cannot be violated. ”

Another Confucian shook his head and said: "Isn't it? The righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, the major affairs of the family and the country, how can they be indiscriminately erased with the righteousness of flesh and blood? Then Father-in-law An is also old and confused." I think that the imperial grandson is also a wise king, and he will not listen to the words of Gonggong An indiscriminately. Social is important, social is important. ”

The last old Confucian smiled gracefully, wiped his long white beard, and sighed softly: "Today, I said that it is a good thing to see the emperor's grandson's words to Gonggong An, but he has not said anything about it. In any case, this domain must be cut, and the three sons of King Yan must not be released. The emperor's grandson is like a mirror in his heart, but he doesn't need to worry about us as courtiers. ”

Huang Zicheng shook his head again and again: "You don't know, the emperor's grandson's surname is soft, and his ears are a little soft. Father-in-law An has taken care of him for more than ten years, and this sentiment is not light, I am afraid that the imperial grandson will be soft-hearted for a while, so he will gently let go of the three Yan Wang princes, I am afraid that things will be troublesome in the future...... I have already received a secret report that there are subordinates of the Yan Wangfu who are purchasing military horses in Shaanxi. You think that the cavalry of the Yan Wangfu, although they were defeated for a while on the grassland, but the loss of war horses is only more than 10,000 less than 20,000, and now I have heard the secret report, the Yan Wangfu has actually acquired more than 20,000 war horses, and more than a dozen large horse farms in the northwest are still transporting a large number of war horses to Shaanxi, what do you think, what is the reason?"

The room was full of silence, and Fang Xiaoru sneered for a long time: "Then Father-in-law An is in charge of Jinyiwei, such a big matter, he actually didn't explain it clearly to the imperial grandson?"

The Confucian who spoke first said: "This is the problem, Gonggong An has a brocade guard in his hand, this is ......"

The whole room was silent, and the faces of Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru were also a little ugly. They knew in their hearts that the Empress and the old eunuch An would definitely fight for power and profit in front of Zhu Yunwen, but with the brocade guards in hand, what could they do?

Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "Look at the old eunuch, the arrogant appearance in front of the imperial grandson today, he simply doesn't take us seriously. Later, after speaking, if he is favored by the emperor's grandson again, I am afraid that we will have no room for activity. The power of the court must be all in his hands. ”

Li Feng was furious when he heard this: "Okay, you are a group of corrupt Confucians, you keep talking about the way of saints, and you keep talking about educating the world, it turns out that behind you is to provoke people to kill your uncle and brother, and the brothers are against you." The saints and saints you keep saying are also people who strive for power and profit, and pursue wealth and wealth. Mother, what's the difference between you and me? You want power, you also pursue fame, you want to be rich, I also like gold, silver and jewelry, what is the difference between you and me?...... However, the master was born in the market and has a humble status, so you have a good skin in vain and show off your family background. ”

For a while, Li Feng completely saw through the virtues of these so-called Great Confucians, and almost spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm from the small hole.

That Huang Renshan interjected with a smile on his face at the moment: "Father, uncles, Renshan has something to say. Seeing that Fang Xiaoru and the others were all focused on themselves, Huang Renshan said with a smile: "The little nephew doesn't like to study, so he works in the Criminal Department, which is also a service for the imperial court." The little nephew worshipped a master, but he was a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. His junior brother is the mighty swordsman 'Thousand-Handed Spirit Ape' Qiu Hanshan. ”

Licking his lips, Huang Renshan continued: "Uncle Qiu belongs to the 'White Emperor Gate' of Megatron Tiannan, and he has recently been framed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and their White Emperor Gate has the sea fishing documents on their backs, so they are not embarrassed. It just so happened that Uncle Qiu thought of my master's way and came to the capital to think of a way, and the little nephew had already agreed to help them clear their crimes. This White Emperor Sect is like a cloud, with many disciples, and has a strong power in Sichuan and has the title of Southern Batian...... Their eldest son, Bai Dagongzi and Miss Bai Lingxin, had already arrived in the capital, and there were more than 100 masters accompanying them, who happened to be ......"

Huang Zicheng's eyes lit up, and the corners of Fang Xiaoru's mouth hooked up a smile, but neither of them spoke. Only the oldest Confucian sensitive, and he said, "They happen to be the opponents of the Jinyi Guard, aren't they?"

Huang Renshan nodded again and again: "That's right, then the White Emperor Gate's own forces are just that, and their allies are the most powerful martial arts gang in the southwest." As long as we have a friendship with them, wouldn't it be appropriate to deal with Grandpa An's Jinyi Guard? We can also temporarily put an official brand on them, hehe, a person in the martial arts, what we want is to be rich and famous. Especially the little nephew looks at the white prince, his heart is higher than the sky, as long as he talks to him, there is no reason to fail. ”

The Confucian students in the room were silent, they were the children of Zhong Mingding's family, and they had heard of the deeds on the rivers and lakes, but when they thought that they really wanted to meet such a person, their hearts suddenly became apprehensive. It's like a professor with a clear name looking for a girl in the Qinglou, who couldn't wait to take off his clothes in a hurry, but he was afraid that the world would know about it, so the fire in his heart hung in the air, so he didn't feel uncomfortable. After a long time, Fang Xiaoru let out a low 'ah'.

Huang Renshan was suddenly excited, he stood up and introduced with great interest: "Uncle Fang, if you put aside the background of the rivers and lakes of the White Emperor Gate, they will also be in Sichuan. The White Emperor Gate has been established for more than 200 years, and the family has a big business, saying that it is outside Chengdu Mansion, a large piece of land, which is their family's industry. In Sichuan, their White Emperor Sect also has a head and a face, and among their partial relatives, there are not a few who have the identity of Xiucai. Huang Renshan ripped off his courage and boasted wildly, and in the end, gradually, Fang Xiaoru and they all believed that the White Emperor Gate was simply a scholarly family with a family of etiquette.

Huang Zicheng bowed slightly: "If that's the case, their identities can also be." It's not too outrageous for us to keep them famous. He made a decision.

Huang Renshan laughed, and he whispered: "Especially wonderful, it was Uncle Qiu Hanshan who came forward this time to beg our criminal department to find a way for them, and the child was appreciated by him and taught the child a set of advanced internal skills. The child handled a case last month, and there happened to be a good piece of iron among the stolen goods, and he was going to make a sword for his uncle and return him favor...... We, the children of the Huang family, can't ask for the benefits of others in vain, right? It is the duty of children to help them clear up the charges they have provoked for no reason. ”

Huang Zicheng smiled and approvingly: "This is what it should be, they were framed, you help them clear their name, you really shouldn't charge any return." Therefore, using the sword to repay favors is exactly what a gentleman is called. The so-called gentleman is unmeritorious, this is the truth. ”

Huang Renshan smiled: "The child knows an excellent blacksmith, and this 'broken jade knife' on the child's waist is what he built before. The blacksmith and the child also had a good relationship. But this time, Yanwang's Mansion ......"

Fang Xiaoru frowned, and asked with a gloomy face: "Yan Wangfu, what's going on with Yan Wangfu?"

Huang Renshan said nonsense: "The prince of the Yan Palace, I don't know how, I also want to find someone to make a treasure knife, and I actually found the blacksmith Li." Who knew that Blacksmith Li accidentally scrapped the 'Hanzhen Iron', so the people of Yanwangfu insisted on asking Blacksmith Li to lose money. When the child heard the news, he hurriedly took someone to find out the news, who knew if the guards of the Yanwang Mansion were vicious, and they beat the child's subordinates to serious injuries, and then shouted that he wanted to bring Blacksmith Li back to Yanjing to make weapons. said that he couldn't afford to accompany the money, so he replaced it with human life. ”

Huang Zicheng became excited, he stood up suddenly, and said with a smile: "Wonderful, look, this time it was the people from their Yanwang Mansion who hit the knife edge by themselves." Hehe, those vassal kings have done a lot of things to bully men and women, and now that they have arrived in Yingtianfu, they actually have this kind of temper, aren't they looking for death?"

Fang Xiaoru was also very excited: "Okay, tomorrow I will use this reason to go to the imperial grandson to sue them...... Hehe, the love of flesh and blood, that is also between brothers, the surname of the wolf son of the Yan Wangfu, the imperial grandson will naturally understand, and talking to them about brotherhood is a wasted effort. ”

The strong wind on the eaves laughed, he stretched out a leg lightly, lightly stepped on the maid at the door, and then he slipped out like a ghost. The maid at the door screamed in a low voice, which immediately provoked Huang Renshan's loud reprimand.
