But curiosity is the nature of a teenager, and after a while, Li Xiaolin came to the matter again: "The younger brother knows from my father and uncle that I am inspecting the case of the Qin Mission, and there is usually a general's waist knife given by the emperor, so the younger brother is very mysterious and curious about the general's waist knife of Brother Shen.

To tell the truth, everyone sitting here is very curious about the emperor's general's waist knife, and they all want to see the true face of the general's waist knife Lushan, because all dynasties, throughout the ages, not to mention ordinary officials and ordinary people, even if it is the governor and governor, few have seen Shang Fang's sword and the general's waist knife. But apart from innocent and naïve children, what adult is too embarrassed to open up to the Chincha?

Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Shen Tianpeng is not the kind of person who can pretend to be a person, he is already bold and generous, but he actually doesn't take the identity of the Qin Cha and the general's waist knife very seriously. He said to Zhang Huaizhong: "Lord Zhang, you can open their eyes with the general's waist knife, I will bear everything." ”

It turned out that Shen Tianpeng thought that carrying a sword and a knife on his back was too obstructive, and it was too public, which was not conducive to doing things. In order to cover people's eyes and ears, after leaving Beijing, on the way to Yunnan, he wrapped the general's waist knife in a cloth sleeve and handed it over to Zhang Huaizhong for safekeeping. Although Zhang Huaizhong's martial arts are poor, it is not inappropriate to have him and Yue Haikun secretly protecting him.

Seeing Shen Tianpeng speak, Zhang Huaizhong took off the cloth cover and let everyone see the general's waist knife.

I saw that the general's waist knife was more than two feet long, with a copper inlaid handle, a bright yellow hanging tassel, a wide back and a thin blade, extremely sharp, and the cold was pressing. The two sides of the blade are not only cast with double blood grooves, but also carved with dragon patterns......

When it was passed to Li Xiaolin, Li Xiaolin asked Shen Tianpeng while looking at the knife: "Brother Shen, then, this knife is the same as Shang Fang's sword, it can behead the faint monarch at the top, and behead the minister at the bottom?"

"That's right. Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been no more Shang Fang sword. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, all the emperors have appointed the emperor's envoys, all of them are the waist knives of the generals, and they can also behead the emperor and the minister!" Shen Tianpeng affirmed. In fact, Shen Tianpeng and other court officials all know that this is just a joke to tease children, if there is no royal royal order flag to assist the joint use, the general's waist knife is like a royal gold medal, it is only a limited delegation of imperial power certificates, and they will never dare to cut it first and then play.

"Okay, I'll go back to Kunming, Yunnan with you and kill Xu Zhiming with this knife...... It was that dog officer who instructed someone to rob my family and kill my uncle, and he did a lot of bad things, and someone should have cleaned him up a long time ago. Li Xiaolin said indignantly.

"That's not good, Xu Zhiming is an important minister of the court and a feudal official, you said that he instructed someone to rob your family's property, killed your uncle, and did a lot of bad things, you have to have someone to show physical evidence, you have to make the emperor believe that he really should be killed to kill, little brother, do you have it?" Shen Tianpeng said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Yes, my eldest sister has a private account book left by my uncle, which records a lot of bad things Xu Zhiming did. If you don't believe me, ask my parents, my eldest sister. Li Xiaolin was not to be outdone.
