A figure wearing a nine-cylinder mask quietly fell from the wall, carefully observing the surroundings, with a pair of protruding eyes like a demon. Then he walked to the door, silently opened the door bolt, and then dripped oil on the door shaft.
Open slowly...
Outside is a group of figures also wearing masks.
"picture!"
Jiutong said in a low voice.
Santong quickly took out a layout diagram of Xishan Station drawn on a piece of cloth.
"This is the post chief's residence. This is the post station's officer's residence. This is the guest room, but I don't know which room the person is in. This is the escort officer's residence. There are quite a few people in the post station, and there are dozens of numbers."
He pointed to the small houses above and said.
"Five tubes, six tubes here, seven tubes, eight tubes here, don't kill anyone, just use the thing I gave you to charm you.
Use with caution.
Never smell this stuff yourself.”
Jiutong said.
"I understand, little one!"
The four tubes immediately whispered.
Then they quickly disappeared into the darkness on both sides.
"Walk!"
Jiutong then waved his hand.
Then he quickly took the remaining four tubes to Yi Cheng's residence, took out something outside the door, and shined it at the crack of the door. Then the crack in the door turned fiery red, and soon the door bolt inside burned out. Three
Tong and Si Tong gently opened the door, leaving Tong and Tong outside to stare. Jiu Tong closed his protruding eyes and went in with them. Inside, Yi Cheng was still sleeping with a woman in his arms.
Jiutong quickly pressed his mouth.
The Yi Cheng who was awakened looked at them in confusion, and the woman next to him also woke up. Before she could scream, a handkerchief in Sigong's hand covered her nose.
The woman fainted immediately.
Yi Cheng also woke up and looked at the nine-cylinder mask in front of him struggling in horror.
"I, Zhang Mazi, have been friends with Mr. Qian for many years. We have been cooperating with him to print money and rely on him to transport weapons. Now that he is in trouble, I cannot stand by and watch. I am here for nothing else. I just want to save his father and son. I don't want to
Death will take us to release them.
Just blink if you agree!”
Jiutong said.
Yi Cheng blinked hurriedly.
Jiutong let go of his hand, and Santong forced Yi Cheng with a knife. The latter stood up tremblingly...
"Uncle, you saved them, but the little one's life is not safe."
Yi Cheng said while crying.
"All mortals are mortal!"
Jiutong said seriously.
Yi Cheng had no choice but to be forced out by them.
Soon another four barrels returned.
"Is the matter done?"
Jiutong asked.
"Brother, this thing was like a god. It poured into their room through the window. They all slept as if they were dead. My brother went in to check and shook them all. However, the brothers tied them up again just to be safe.
Get up and block their mouths, so even if they wake up suddenly, they won't be able to miss the thing."
Wu Tong whispered excitedly.
Jiutong nodded with satisfaction and quickly led Yi Cheng to a door.
This one is locked from the outside.
Ertong stepped forward and opened the lock. After pushing the door open, there were three men in prison uniforms. One old and two middle-aged, both lying in new bedding. There was also an oil lamp. When they heard the sound of them entering the door, they opened their eyes one after another.
Before they could wake up, Three Tongs quickly stepped forward and covered their mouths and noses with a handkerchief each. The three fell into unconsciousness immediately. Three Tongs directly carried the three of them. Jiu Tong walked into the room and found that there were pens, inks and papers.
Inkstone, and there were also poems written by three people, which were nothing but awe-inspiring and upright. He simply picked them up, then walked to the wall with a pen and wrote hard...
"My heart is in Shandong and my body is in Wu, and the rivers and seas are full of moans. If I succeed in the future, I dare to laugh at Huang Chao's lack of husband!"
After he finished writing, he enjoyed it with satisfaction.
Then he turned to look at Yi Cheng...
"I think you are also a good man. Why don't you go to Taihu Lake with me? In the future, Mr. Qian and his son will become military advisors, just like Liu Bowen. In the future, we will become a big thing, and you will be granted the title of marquis."
He said very seriously.
Yi Cheng was so frightened that he cried.
"Uncle, uncle, please spare me!"
He lay on the ground and kowtowed and said.
This Tamar is just a fool who listens to too many books!
Has it become a big deal?
You thought you were the current emperor!
"Hmph, I guess I misjudged you. Tell the court officials that I will take Mr. Qian and his son away. If you dare to embarrass the Qian family again, be careful when I and Mr. Qian achieve great things in the future, we will massacre Suzhou Mansion!"
Jiutong shouted.
Then he picked up the oil lamp and lit the straw and bedding on the ground directly. Dragging the post manager with three tubes, a group of people quickly left the post station. At this time, there were already flames behind them, and the alarm was raised on the tower of Wuxi South Gate not far away.
The gong sounded, and even people on the boats on the canal were awakened. This is the dock outside Wuxi's South Gate, with its back against the city wall. The canal boats were lined up near the shore for the night. The sailors and business travelers looked at Xishan Station in astonishment.
There was a huge fire, and a person wearing a nine-tube mask walked out proudly.
"I, Zhang Mazi, are here to save Mr. Qian and his son. It has nothing to do with others. Don't seek death!"
Jiutong shouted in the firelight.
As he spoke, he looked at the small tree next to him, raised his hands upside down, and pulled it out suddenly with a roar.
Then he threw it into the canal.
The sailors and businessmen all watched carefully.
Then other tubes put the Qian family and his son on their boat.
This is actually a slender dragon boat.
After Zhang Mazi got on the boat, he beat the drums and rowed with eight oars and eight tubes. The dragon boat rushed towards the mouth of Liangxi River like an arrow. Zhang Mazi, wearing a nine-tube mask, just stood on the bow of the boat and kept beating the drums.
With the firelight of Xishanyi in the background, it disappeared arrogantly into the darkness of Liangxi amidst the attention on the canal...
the next day.
"Ambassador, Qian Li and his son were rescued by a lake thief who called himself Zhang Mazi in Xishanyi!"
Han Sheng said solemnly.
"What?"
Zhang Xianzong was immediately stunned.
"What?"
Yang Feng, who was testing the strength of the bolts, immediately raised his head and screamed with an exaggerated expression.
"Mr. Han, how do you do things, escort several prisoners and still get them kidnapped?"
he said angrily.
"Ambassador, this has nothing to do with the old man. Qian Li and his son were handed over to the Suzhou Prefecture the day before yesterday. They have nothing to do with the Suzhou Guards. The escort was also from the Suzhou Prefecture. It is said that the Suzhou Prefecture was too careless and sent a total of six officers to escort him and his son. Last night, the Wuxi gentry also returned
They entertained his father and his son at a banquet at Xishan Post, and then stayed at Xishan Post. In the middle of the night, Zhang Mazi led someone in, and used witchcraft to charm the people at the post and the escorting officers. He forced the postmaster to lead the way to find his father and son, and then rescued them.
The inn was set on fire.
Ha, this is the elder of Suzhou Prefecture who swears to pass down poems and books to his family.
He also said that the old man would be beaten into submission!
They were all rescued by their accomplices.
It is said that Zhang Mazi also wrote an anti-poetry on the wall of the inn, and he wanted to set fire to the evidence. Fortunately, Xishan Post was right outside the county gate, and there were many ships parked on the canal, so he immediately went to put out the fire.
There are two sentences on the wall, why he dares to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a husband even though he is so young.
It's clear that they want to rebel.
The Yi Cheng also said that Qian Li was their military advisor and that he wanted to liberate Suzhou Prefecture with blood."
Han Sheng said.
"Then am I not in danger? They will definitely come to kill me!
You have to protect me!"
Yang Feng said in horror.
He looked so weak and helpless, just like a little white rabbit.
"Ambassador, don't worry. The Suzhou Guards are not able to protect Ambassador Zhou Quan, and they want to slaughter the Suzhou Mansion. They still want to be Huang Chao, and they want to rebel. They don't even think about where I am, and they want to show off in front of Mr. Guan?"
Han Sheng said proudly.
Zhang Xianzong was already dumbfounded and sat there dumbfounded.
Yang Feng quietly wiped Han Sheng's neck.
Han Sheng shook his head slightly and made a shoveling motion with his hands...
Well, that means buried alive.
It has to be said that this kind of habitual gangster and a monster like Yang Feng have a clear understanding of each other.
Of course, the Jiutong is Yang Feng. As for the artifact used, of course it is homemade. It is distilled with sulfuric acid and alcohol. The sulfuric acid is not difficult to prepare. It is just calcined with green vitriol. At most, it is laboratory-level output, but it can be used. Such a good thing must be kept on hand.
So he had already done it when he was in Liaodong. As for the other eight tubes, they were all Han Sheng's people. They were the ones who conspired to transfer them to Suzhou Prefecture. His people were also responsible for how to deal with the Qian family and his son. Yang Feng was halfway there
He disembarked, and he was able to rush back as quickly as possible to avoid suspicion. Since those civil servants and Confucian scholars were publicizing that the Qian family and his son could not be printing counterfeit money, or that they were beaten into it, then he might as well confirm that they were really
Colluding with the Lake Pirates.
And he is also someone who intends to rebel.
Just take a seat!
What else are you saying?
What else can you say?
Look, this guy was rescued by an accomplice, and he was an accomplice with treasonous ambitions. He also said that they have been working together for many years. Is this the good guy you say was beaten into a trap?
And it has nothing to do with Han Sheng, because the person has been handed over to the Suzhou Prefecture, and he was rescued on the way to Suzhou Prefecture. It has nothing to do with the Suzhou Guards, but the Suzhou Prefect will definitely lose his official position.
Of course, the Suzhou Guards still have to eliminate Zhang Mazi next.
Then of course they destroyed Zhang Mazi's lair and found various physical evidence from him, which was enough to prove that Qian Li and his son had long colluded with Zhang Mazi. They made profits by printing counterfeit banknotes, and then planned to use the proceeds to rebel. They could even find out
They had a close relationship with Zhang Shicheng back then, and they were the remnants of Zhang Shicheng. They had been lurking and waiting for the opportunity. Yang Feng didn't need to worry about this, Han Sheng took care of it himself.
This old guy is just trying to regain his former appearance.
Then Ambassador Yang is different. This is to eliminate harm for the people!
People are going to bloodbath Suzhou Prefecture.
Thanks to Ambassador Yang, their conspiracy was exposed and prevented it from causing a catastrophe.
Ambassador Yang is a good person!
"Brother Xianzong, you are the heirloom of poems and books! You are an elder who abides by the law!"
Yang Feng smiled and said to Zhang Xianzong.
Zhang Xianzong's actual name was Zhang Yuan, but at this time, the name was used as the main title.
Calling him by his first name is extremely disrespectful.
Zhang Xianzong sighed, obviously feeling very heavy.
"Zhenfu, command the envoys to convene a meeting!"
An officer hurriedly walked out, saluted Han Sheng and said.
"What's the matter?"
Han Sheng said doubtfully.
"Jinshanwei warned that four to five thousand Japanese pirates landed at Jinshanwei."
The officer looked at Zhang Xianzong and whispered to him.
Han Sheng was stunned for a moment and immediately followed him in.
Yang Feng and Zhang Xianzong looked at each other, and then they followed in...
"This is indeed the season when Japanese pirates invade Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, the number of Japanese pirates is usually only a few hundred or a thousand. How come there are so many this time?"
Zhang Xianzong said doubtfully.
The Japanese pirates had many routes, and the raiding routes were different depending on the seasonal wind direction. They harassed people as far away as the Liaodong Peninsula. During the Yongle period, more than a thousand Japanese pirates were annihilated in a battle in the Liaodong Peninsula.
"revenge!"
Yang Feng said.
Han Sheng also looked back at him.
"It's very simple. In the summer, the Jurchens and I landed north of them, and then they burned, killed and looted. Now of course they want to retaliate, but you have to be careful. If it is deliberate revenge, then this time is not the pirates who only wanted to plunder in the past. This time
They are the elite Japanese people mobilized by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."
Yang Feng said.
It really should be revenge.
After all, what Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wants is to prevent this kind of Toi invasion from happening again in the future.
And he couldn't guard against Dao Yi. He didn't know when Dao Yi would suddenly appear, but he could threaten the coast of the Ming Dynasty. He only needed to force Zhu Yuanzhang to restrain Dao Yi. It should be said that this move was actually very correct. The Ming Dynasty faced
The situation of the Japanese pirates is the same as when he faced Daoyi. The coastline is long and they don't know when they will suddenly appear. Therefore, as long as he shows the ability to threaten the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, he can force Zhu Yuanzhang to restrain Daoyi and finally solve the problem of Daoyi from the source.
The problem of barbarians entering the army.
but……
Zhu Yuanzhang is waiting for him!
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he didn't have enough reasons to beat him!
After all, the DPRK and China did not agree much with the crusade against the Japanese. This was mainly because the losses suffered by the Yuan Dynasty in attacking the Japanese were too great. Moreover, in recent years, as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gradually completed control of Kyushu Island, Zhu Yuanzhang established a coastal defense system, and the Japanese pirates
The frequency of harassment has dropped significantly.
Of course, it is impossible to eliminate it.
After all, this is not only a matter of Japanese pirates, but also a problem of coastal smuggling.
Besides, piracy is a very ancient profession and will not be discontinued for hundreds of years to come.
"What's the difference between elite Japanese pirates and ordinary Japanese pirates?"
Old Han said.
Yang Feng pondered for a moment.
"There seems to be no difference. They are all dwarfs. Although they are brave, they are indeed brave, but with so little strength, no matter how brave they are, they can only jump up and hit people on the knee. Just be careful with their bows.
Forget it, I'd better go with you!
This was probably caused by me raiding their house."
he said.
"Ha, Japanese pirates have been harassing the coast since the time of Hu Yuan. Whether the ambassador goes to their home base and raids their homes, they will come. But this kind of raids is the right thing. If the pirates can come, I can go too. They come to us.
If they plunder along the coast, we should go to their home base and exterminate them.
This is the right way to deal with enemies.
As for the slight losses caused by their raids along the coast, it is not worth mentioning. If they kill one of us, we will kill a hundred of them. As long as we can continue to go to their homes and kill people, sooner or later they will have to kneel in front of us."
Han Sheng didn't care about this problem. After all, it was all crawling out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so he would not be as cowardly as those coastal officials later. It was not a big deal for him to be killed by the Japanese pirates, as long as the Ming Dynasty could also go to the Japanese pirates' lair.
Just kill the same people or even kill more people...
