Mou Rongtian asked Li Bie to help find a sea ship. Li Bie said: "Boss Yan's ship happens to be here. I'll ask someone to bring him over."
About half an hour later, two brothers, Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng, came.
A year ago, Mou Rongtian was able to escape death and leave Japan with the help of Meng Yan Siqi. The two were close friends of life and death. They reunited after a long separation and enjoyed each other very much. After reminiscing about old times, they agreed on a departure time.
Mou Rongtian asked Yan Siqi not to leak the news, lest Dongchang would be disadvantageous to Gao Jianling, but the news still leaked.
That day, Tian Ergeng and Pang Jianfeng were injured and returned to Hanyang City. After bandaging their wounds, they quickly rushed to Geoje Island. They arrived before Mou Rongtian and others. Tian Ergen asked the local Dongchang spies to go near the General's Mansion.
Waiting for the arrival of Mou Rongtian.
As soon as Mou Rongtian arrived at the General's Mansion, Tian Ergen received the news. Yan Siqi was a well-known local figure. Dongchang spies knew him and saw him entering the General's Mansion. They went back to report to Tian Ergen.
There is a Jinyu Casino in the north of Geoje Island Town, which is Dongchang's secret contact point here. The shopkeeper's surname is Huo, and he is the captain of Dongchang.
When Captain Huo learned that Yan Siqi had gone to the General's Mansion, he said to Tian Ergeng: "Master Tian, Mou Rongtian will probably return home on Boss Yan's ship."
Tian Ergeng said: "Do you have eyes and ears around Yan?"
Captain Huo shook his head and said, "No."
Tian Ergeng said: "Can we develop one as soon as possible?"
Captain Huo pondered for a moment and said, "We can develop one."
Tian Ergeng said: "It's not too late, you can get started immediately."
At the beginning of the night, in the Golden Mile Casino, there were four or five gamblers gathered around a gaming table in the northwest corner. Among them was a man in his thirties, with a medium build, holding chips in his hand and wondering what to buy.
Big or small?
Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder. Gamblers are very taboo about being tapped on the shoulder. The man was unhappy and shouted, "Who the hell tapped me on the shoulder?"
When he turned around to look, he saw Captain Huo standing behind him with a smile.
The man's name was Guan Lao'er, a sailor on Yan Siqi's ship. He liked gambling and was a frequent visitor to the Jinyu Casino. He owed the casino more than thirty taels of silver. He thought Captain Huo wanted to collect the debt, so he laughed and said, "Huo
Brother, it’s you, can you extend the money for a few more days? I will definitely pay it back in a few days.”
Captain Huo said: "It's not about money. I want to ask you to do a small favor."
Guan Laoer saw that Captain Huo was not asking for debts, so he immediately let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Huo has a use for his younger brother, just do what you ask."
Chief Huo said: "Let's talk inside."
Guan Laoer followed Captain Huo to the inner room and saw a tall man and a thin Taoist priest sitting in the room. He didn't recognize these two people and didn't ask much.
Captain Huo sat next to the tall man, asked Guan Laoer to sit down as well, and said: "Brother, let me introduce you." He pointed his thumb at the tall man and continued: "This is Dongchang.
The first person in charge, the famous man in front of the factory boss, Mr. Tianer Gengtian."
Guan Laoer had never seen a person as big as Tian Ergen. He knelt down to greet him. Tian Ergen smiled and said, "Get up."
Captain Huo said again: "Brother Guan, Mr. Tian is determined to cultivate you and develop you into a secret agent of Dongchang. I wonder if you are willing?"
Hearing this, Guan Laoer felt happy in his heart and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Mr. Tian looks down on the younger one, and gives him a face, and the younger one will naturally take care of him."
Tian Ergeng ordered Guan Laoer to find out where Yan Siqi's ship landed, and sent a secret report to Dongchang via Feige.
Two days later, Boss Yan's ship set off, and Yang Huan returned to Hanyang City to report to the King of Korea.
As soon as Guan Laoer got on the ship, he hid the carrier pigeon. After sailing for half a day, he saw Yang Tiansheng and a few sailors sitting on the deck chatting, so he walked over and asked quietly: "Master Yang, what are we doing here?"
Where are you going?"
Yang Tiansheng said: "Go to Ming Dynasty."
Guan Laoer asked again: "Where are you going to Daming?"
Mou Rongtian had told Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng not to leak their destination. Yang Tiansheng said: "What are you asking about? It's okay, don't ask around."
Guan Laoer smiled awkwardly and made a fuss. Two days later, he found another opportunity to ask Yan Siqi, but Yan Siqi didn't tell him. Guan Laoer was worried, but there was nothing he could do.
Mou Rongtian was worried that there would be Dongchang's eyes and ears on the ship. Once Dongchang learned of their landing location, Gao Jianling would be in danger of his life.
Although he had already notified Luo Sigong to invite Pudu, Mou Ying and Wu Kunshan came to respond, but Wu Kunshan was always like a dragon that never saw its end, and at the critical moment, he could not be found.
If Yan Shoufeng goes out in person and joins forces with Kong Kong, Pang Jianfeng, and Zhang Daoqian, Pudu and Mou Ying are no match for them, so the landing location must not be known to Dongchang.
Mou Rongtian thought that if there are Dongchang's eyes and ears on the ship, there is only one way to send the news out, and that is to send the message via flying pigeons." He asked Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng to check whether there were homing pigeons on the ship.
The sailors all lived in the bottom warehouse. Yang Tiansheng walked in and shouted: "Damn it, there was a thief on the ship and he stole my banknotes. If I know who stole it, I will
First chop off his hands and feet, then throw them into the sea to feed the fish."
A sailor shouted: "If you dare to steal Mr. Yang's banknotes, you will lose your life."
Another sailor said: "Second Master, these brothers have been following you for a day or two. This kind of thing has never happened before. If you want to look for it again, maybe the banknote is not lost."
Yang Tiansheng shouted: "I have searched eight hundred times, but I can't find it. Some bastard must have stolen it. You all take out your luggage, and I will search them one by one."
These people are all his subordinates. If he wants to search them, who would dare not to let them go?
Yang Tiansheng used the excuse of losing the banknotes to search the sailors' luggage, but found no homing pigeons. He went to the warehouse to search and found a bamboo basket. When he opened the lid of the basket, he saw a gray pigeon inside.
Mou Rongtian thought of a trick and did not touch the pigeon. He privately asked Yan and Yang which sailor they thought was suspicious.
Yang Tiansheng said: "Guan Laoer asked me where our ship is going? I think he is very suspicious."
Yan Siqi said: "This guy also asked me about it. It seems that he should be the eyes and ears of Dongchang."
After the ship sailed into Liaodong Bay, Mou Rongtian asked Yan Siqi to find a close sailor and perform a play with him for Guan Laoer.
That day Mou Rongtian was sitting on the deck chatting with a few sailors. Guan Laoer and Yan Siqi's confidant sailor were also among them.
The sailor who was Yan Siqi's confidant asked Mou Rongtian: "Master Mou, do you know where our ship is going?"
Mou Rongtian said: "I heard from Boss Yan that we are going to Qingniwakou in Liaodong."
When Guan Laoer heard this, he was very happy. At midnight that night, while the sailors were sleeping, he pretended to pee, slipped out of the cabin, wrote a note, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and quietly went on the deck, where he saw four people.
There was no one there, so he let the pigeon fly, feeling happy in his heart and thinking to himself: "My surname is Guan, I'm going to have a great career." He turned around to go back to the bottom warehouse, and saw Yang Tiansheng standing behind him, and he was frightened.
Yang Tiansheng sneered: "Guan Laoer, you're up so late at night, what are you doing here?"
Guan Laoer thought that Yang Tiansheng didn't see him letting go of the pigeons, so he calmed down and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, just come up and pee."
Yang Tiansheng said with a cold face: "Pissing? Isn't that right? Why do I think you let a pigeon fly? What are you going to do? Do you want to report it to Dongchang?"
When Guan Laoer heard this, he knew he couldn't hide it anymore. His legs softened and he knelt in front of Yang Tiansheng and said, "This is all what Dongchang forced me to do. I dare not disobey."
Yang Tiansheng pulled out the dagger and shouted, "You traitor, go to hell!" It pierced Guan Lao'er's heart, and Guan Lao'er screamed in agony. Yang Tiansheng threw his body into the sea. .
The carrier pigeon flew back to Dongchang. After Yan Shoufeng received the news, he thought to himself: "I thought Mou Rongtian would land at Tianjinwei or Dengzhou, but I didn't expect this kid to choose Qingniwakou. He is really cunning."
Yan Shoufeng led Kongkong, Pang Jianfeng and Zhang Daoqian to Qingniwakou in person, preparing to rob and kill Gao Jianling.
Luo Sigong received the flying pigeon letter from Mou Rongtian and immediately sent people to Shaolin Temple to invite Pudu, to Mouping County in Dengzhou to invite Mou Ying, and to Longquangou in Liaodong to invite Wu Kunshan.
Both Pudu and Mou Ying were found, but Wu Kunshan disappeared again. After the Haizhou Challenge, Wu Kunshan, Puji and Tianlong returned to Longquangou and drank for several days. Fan Baoku could not make wine as fast as they did. After drinking all the wine, I saved it and went to find another place to drink.
The ship landed at Tianjin Wei, and Mou Rongtian and Yan Siqi said goodbye reluctantly. Pudu and Mou Ying were waiting near the pier. They were afraid of exposing their whereabouts, so they disguised themselves. After meeting with Mou Rongtian, everyone returned to the capital and escorted Gao Jianzhen to the Jinyiwei General Administration Bureau to report to Luo Sigong is on a mission.
Luo Sigong was overjoyed, and took the piece of evidence written by Tian Feng and Gao Jianzheng's confession to the palace. Wanli learned that Tian Feng had killed Li Rusong, and was furious. He slapped the Long Book Case so loudly that it made the mountains ring, and shouted: "Tian Feng killed Li Rusong." How dare Feng do this? I am so angry." Let the little eunuch call Tian Feng.
Tian Feng saw Li, but Wanli did not let him stand. He threw the piece of evidence and Gao Jianzheng's confession on his face and shouted: "Tian Feng, you have done a good job, you can see for yourself."
Tian Feng picked it up and looked at it, and was dumbfounded. He kowtowed like a chicken scratching rice, and repeatedly asked Wanli to forgive him.
Wanli said: "Tian Feng, you killed my white jade pillar that holds the sky and purple gold beam that holds the sea. How can I spare you?" He ordered Tian Feng to be imprisoned in the sky prison. After the fall, he would be executed, his property would be confiscated, and his family members would be sent to the army. Liaodong Tian Ergen was implicated by his father, dismissed from his official position, and became a prisoner.
The position of first assistant was taken over by the second assistant, Zhao Nanxing, a princeling and official minister.
Luo Sigong went to Cining Palace to announce the good news to the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother learned that he had regained the position of chief minister, she nodded with satisfaction and said "very good" twice, reminding Luo Sigong not to be dazzled by the temporary victory. , we must protect Zhao Nanxing and prevent Dongchang from jumping over the wall.
Luo Sigong left the palace and went to the Cabinet Office to express his congratulations to Zhao Nanxing. Zhao Nanxing was a man who was not surprised by favors and humiliations. When he heard that he had been promoted to the position of chief minister, his expression was as usual.
Luo Sigong said: "Brother Zhao, in case Dongchang is not good for you, I will send someone to protect you day and night."
Zhao Nanxing said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Luo."
