Chapter 102 The 102nd round of beggars' gang interrogates good friends and suspends the country's plan to eliminate adultery

Li Zhongzhu said: "What shall we do?" He Lingwei said: "Is this good? First go to Huwei Escort to visit Mr. Meng's head of the Escort, and then I will share the helm with you in the Beggar Clan." Li Zhongzhu said: "Yes, old escort Meng has a lot of contacts, and he is the most well-informed about the news of the beggar gang. If you go to these two places, you may be able to find out Ding Shi's whereabouts." Li Zhongzhu was dressed as a scholar, and when he arrived at Huwei Escort, the people in the Escort really couldn't recognize him as the guy from the silk shop that he had visited that day.He Lingwei had never been here, and of course they didn't even know who he was.

Xu Zijia, one of the four heads of Huwei Escort Bureau, came out to meet them and asked, "Who are you two looking for?" He Lingwei first mentioned his father's name, and then said: "The expensive bodyguard bureau is happy to move, my father heard the news late, and couldn't come to congratulate him that day, so I specially asked the younger generation to meet with old bodyguard head Meng, and I sincerely apologize." Xu Zijia vaguely knew something about the friendship between He Zhongrong and Meng Ting, he pondered for a while, and said, "Please come in, both of you, and sit for a while." He Lingwei saw that he seemed to be hesitant, and he didn't understand the reason, so he was very surprised.

The two sat in the living room for a long time, but Meng Ting did not come out.Li Zhongzhu said: "I don't know if old escort Meng has other important matters, or is he unwilling to receive guests?" He Lingwei said: "No, my father and Meng Lao's friendship is extraordinary, he knows I'm here, he will definitely meet me." As soon as I said this, I heard footsteps coming out of it.It was Meng Ting who came. Meng Ting recognized Li Zhongzhu, and was surprised in his heart, but his expression was not revealing. He smiled and said, "So you are good friends who know each other. I don't know. Okay, please come in and talk." He didn't say anything. The origin of Li Zhongzhu's name, everyone only knew that Li Zhongzhu was a junior whom Meng Ting knew well, so they broke up immediately.Meng Ting invited them into the quiet room and said, "Brother Li, are you here to inquire about Boss Ding?"

Li Zhongzhu said: "Exactly." Then he told Meng Ting what happened at Ding's house that night, and then said, "Lord Lilac rushed back to the city that night and told the silk shop's clerk to escape. Now his shop has been closed , but his whereabouts are unknown." Meng Ting said: "I was about to tell you that I don't know the whereabouts of Ding Shi, but there is a person in their silk shop with me." Li Zhongzhu was surprised and delighted, and said, "Who is it?" Meng Ting said: "You all come with me." Pressing his palms on the wall, a secret door appeared, entered the secret door, and walked down the tunnel. There was a small room under the tunnel. He and Li followed him in. , I saw a person lying on the bed.Meng Ting lit up the oil lamp and said, "Brother Liu, a friend has come to see you."

It turned out that the person who was hiding in the cellar to recover from his injuries was the second shopkeeper of the silk shop that Li Zhongzhu had dealt with, surnamed Liu Minghong. Liu Hong said "Ahhh", sat up and said, "Mr. Li, it's you. Where's our Boss Ding?" Li Zhongzhu said: "I just came to you to inquire about him. Your injury is not healed, so you are welcome." Liu Hong said: "My injury is much better. I was separated from Boss Ding the night the shop was closed." At the moment Liu Hong told what happened to him. "That night, Boss Ding came back and hurriedly sent the guy away, leaving me alone in the end."

Li Zhongzhu said: "Why don't you leave quickly?" Liu Hong smiled wryly and said: "I am the accountant, and I handle all the current accounts in the store. We don't have to accept what people owe us, but we have to try to pay them off in the future. We are a time-honored brand, The business is also very large, and it is impossible to take all the account books away, so I can only quickly make a list of the accounts owed to others. This list is so long that it has become a new account book." Meng Ting praised : "At such an urgent juncture, you still stick to business ethics, which is really admirable."

Liu Hong went on to say: "There are more important matters. The correspondence between Boss Ding and the chief rudder, as well as any black and white letters that could hurt friends, must be burned. "Just as we had handled everything that should be dealt with, the 'officers and soldiers' who came to seal the shop had also arrived. "Boss Ding and I rushed out from the back door, and I was shot by a cold arrow while escaping. "I said, Boss Ding, you should go quickly, I can't hurt you. Take this account book. No matter how you say it, Boss Ding refuses to obey. At this time we have hid in an alley, and I am about to take out the account book and hand it over to you." By the time it was delivered to Boss Ding, two Tartar officers had already chased him.

"These two Tatar officers are actually masters. I am not capable enough, and I was injured, so I can't help the boss. Boss Ding shouted at me in a hurry, and he said: 'I am the Lord of Xiang, you must obey my orders! Go away! One is one, don't you want us all dead and no one to report to the helm!" He gave the order, and I had to escape without being wounded. Poor him, in order to cover me, stopped those two officers alone, he, he— Li Zhongzhu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "How is he?" Liu Hong said: "He was stabbed, and I saw that his clothes were already stained red with blood, and he was still fighting hard!"

Li Zhongzhu only thought that Ding Shi had suffered misfortune. He heard that he was stabbed at this time. Although he was surprised, the situation was not as bad as he imagined. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened next?" Liu Hong looked gloomy, and said: "At that time, I wanted to run back and live or die with him, but I ran a few steps, the wound hurt, and I couldn't support it. fainted. "In a daze, it seemed that someone picked me up. But soon I didn't know who I was. When I woke up, it was already the next morning, and the person put me at the back door of Tiger's Escort. Of course, when I first woke up When I came here, I didn’t know where it was and what time it was.”

Meng Ting said: "I have the habit of getting up early. Every morning, I open the back door and go for a walk. This day I found shopkeeper Liu lying under the stone steps, still holding on to the account book." He Lingwei was surprised: "So, that person seems to know the old man's habit." Meng Ting smiled and said, "Isn't it? But fortunately shopkeeper Liu has the account books of the silk shop in his hand, so I know he is Boss Ding's shopkeeper. "Fortunately, Dongfang was still spitting out fish belly white at that time, and there was no one in the back alley. I immediately carried shopkeeper Liu back and hid him in this secret room. Apart from my big apprentice Gui Bokui, the deputy head of the security guard Xu Zijia and Nobody knows except my two sons."

Li Zhongzhu felt relieved and said, "Since someone rescued you, there must be someone who rescued Lord Ding Xiang." Liu Hong sighed and said, "I hope so. Boss Dante is already injured. I'm really worried." Li Zhongzhu said: "We are about to go to the branch of the Beggar Clan to inquire about news. The Beggar Clan has many eyes and ears. If we find Clan Leader Lu, we must be able to find out his whereabouts. I will bring the news back to you in two days." Liu Hong said: "Just now I heard noises outside, did something happen?" Meng Ting said: "Marquis Ban Jian recommended an escort to me, but I didn't agree to him. This matter has been dealt with, don't worry." Liu Hong was puzzled, and said: "Ban Jianhou? He is the chief manager of Wanyan Changzhi's 'Prince's Mansion'! Could it be that they already knew that I was hiding here and sent someone to inquire about the truth?" Meng Ting said: "Don't be suspicious. I listened carefully to what he said. He just wanted to sneak into our bodyguard agency and didn't know anything about you." Liu Hongwu was worried, and said, "Old Escort Meng, thank you for your careful treatment. My injury is almost healed. I want to slip away tonight. I have a relative—" Meng Ting said: "No, no, don't worry about hurting me. At least if you want to leave, you should only leave after you get the real news from your boss Ding." It was hard to persuade him to stay at ease. He Lingwei said: "Uncle Liu, just like you, we are all eager to know the news of Lord Lilac. Without further ado, let's go to the beggar gang to inquire now." The location of the sub-helm of the beggar gang is located in the west of the city. When He Lingwei and Li Zhongzhu arrived at the place, they saw desolation everywhere, surrounded by reed ponds. Walking through a wasteland overgrown with weeds, they found an old big house surrounded by a wall. , the wind blew over, and there was a smell of meat. He Lingwei said: "It's here." The two entered through the gap in the back garden, and saw four beggars sitting around a fire, eating and drinking with big bowls of wine and big pieces of meat. One beggar stared at them with staring eyes, and the other said, "Well, this dog meat tastes really good. What are you doing here, do you want to eat dog meat?" He Lingwei tore a piece of his clothes suddenly, stepped forward and sang Well. He Lingwei's sudden action made Li Zhongzhu, who came with him, bewildered, but the four beggars were shocked and stood up unanimously. It turns out that according to the rules of the beggar gang, the disciples of the gang must wear tattered clothes.Even if it's a new dress, it has to be deliberately flawed.But He Lingwei tore a piece of his clothes just now, which doesn't necessarily mean that he is a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, but at least he has a lot to do with the Beggars' Sect. The leading old beggar returned the salute and sang loudly: "With a dog-beating stick in his hand and a Qiankun bag on his back, he traveled all over the world. May I ask where you come from and how many years have you been in Pengshan?" The beggar carries two things with him, one is a bamboo stick to guard against vicious dogs, called "dog-beating stick", and the other is a cloth bag for begging for rice, called "Qiankun bag".The rank of a disciple in the gang depends on the number of cloth bags carried, from one bag to nine bags, and the one with nine cloth bags on his back is the leader of the gang.However, this is a general rule under normal circumstances. In special situations, such as when there is a secret mission and one needs to conceal one's identity, of course one does not need to dress up as a beggar.Beggar gang disciples are not walking around outside, and of course they don't necessarily have to carry "dog-beating sticks" and "cosmos bags". Because the old beggar couldn't figure out whether He Lingwei was a disciple of the gang or had some connection with the gang, he used these four lines of lyrics to ask him.Ask him if he is a disciple of the gang, how many bags of disciples are he, and how long has he been in the gang?If it is not a disciple of the sect, it must also explain the origin.According to the rules, He Lingwei should answer the first question in advance, and then talk about his own background after the other party's question is resolved.He Lingwei thought for a while, and made up four lyrics to sing: "I lived in Pengshan for eight years, and I was neither a monk, nor a Taoist, nor an immortal. This body has jumped out of the three realms, only because I have been to the Nine Heavens!" He Lingwei is a disciple of Wu Shidun, the former leader of the Beggar Gang. He just left the sect and has not officially joined the Beggar Gang, so he can only answer vaguely.It means that I am not a disciple of the beggar gang, but I have been in relationship with the gang for eight years.I don't join the beggar gang for the time being, that's because I have served the gang leader, and the gang leader specially allowed me to do so.The gang leader carries nine bags on his back, "I have been to Jiuchongtian" means that I have been by the gang leader's side, which means that the gang leader is a very close person. The lyrics compiled by He Lingwei, of course, cannot clearly explain his special identity.The four beggars never thought that there was a former leader of the gang who had retired for a long time, and they were all shocked, thinking: "I don't know what the origin of this kid is, if he was in the gang for eight years, and he was once People who are close to the leader, why don't we know?" The old beggar whistled suddenly, four vicious dogs sprang out of the house, and the four beggars shouted together: "Oh, that's not good! We eat dog meat, and soon there will be vicious dogs coming to avenge their kind." They Throw down the "dog-beating sticks" in your hands, and immediately run away from the vicious dogs. Strange to say, these four vicious dogs, instead of chasing others, all rushed towards He Lingwei.Li Zhongzhu took out the warm jade flute, and was about to go up to help him drive away the vicious dogs, He Lingwei yelled: "Brother Li, don't come up, let me deal with it alone." While speaking, he picked up a bamboo stick on the ground. Li Zhongzhu thought for a while, thinking: "Someone must have let the vicious dogs out on purpose. They don't bite other people, but He Lingwei. Could it be that the owner here wants to try He Lingwei's kung fu? I don't understand beggars. It's better to let him deal with it." He guessed that He Lingwei could also deal with these four vicious dogs, so he stepped aside, happily watching. It was too late, but it was so fast, I saw four vicious dogs coming towards He Lingwei from the southeast, northwest, respectively, like well-trained warriors who knew how to attack the enemy together by dividing and attacking together. He Lingwei turned around, before the beggar who was watching could see clearly, he had already sprinted aside under the pounce of the dogs.So he turned around a few times, and in a blink of an eye, there were figures of He Lingwei in all directions.The four vicious dogs couldn't bite him, and they caused him to flee here and there, and the "formation" was thrown into chaos in an instant. One of the most ferocious wolfhounds seemed to be unable to hold back, and suddenly jumped into the air with all four feet, like an arrow flying from the string, it threw itself on He Lingwei's head, opened its mouth wide and bit his throat. He Lingwei yelled: "Fall down!" The wolf dog fell down at the sound, but immediately jumped up again, three times, and finally lay on the ground with only panting, unable to move.These ups and downs were as fast as lightning, and the beggar who was watching could only see the green shadow of He Lingwei's bamboo stick shaking, and he couldn't even see his technique clearly. The vicious dog had hit him three times.But although I can't see clearly, I know that this is the "dog beating stick method". It was too late, but soon, another vicious dog jumped in front of He Lingwei.The other two vicious dogs followed behind, still a little distance away.He Lingwei raised the bamboo stick and waved it. This time, he seemed to intend to let the beggars see clearly his stick technique.The bamboo stick stretched out straight, just holding the vicious dog's belly, with a wave of his hand, the vicious dog flew several feet away. A little boy ran out from the house and shouted: "It's up to the owner to beat a dog. Why did you kill my dragon? Lion, leopard, go up and kill him, kill him!" He Lingwei smiled and said: "Don't panic, don't panic, your dog is not dead!" Before he finished speaking, the dog named "Long'er" really got up, wagging its tail, and welcomed its little master . He Lingwei's dog-beating kung fu made the four beggars admire immediately. It is not difficult to beat a dog, but it is difficult to hit it properly.The vicious dog was thrown several feet away by him, but it was not injured. It was a very clever move and almost perfected "dog-beating-stick method".The four beggars thought they were far inferior. The little boy smiled through his tears and said, "It turns out that you are not dead. Brother, I blamed you wrongly. Alas, lions and leopards..." The two evil spirits named "Lion" and "Leopard" The dogs, under his command, knew He Ling's mighty power, but they tried their best to bite at him, and it was too late for the boy to stop him. He Lingwei smiled and said: "Don't worry, they can't hurt me, and I won't hurt them." The bamboo stick swept across, and the two vicious dogs fell to the ground at the same time.Strange to say, I saw them trembling all over, like a person suffering from a cold.It turned out that the bamboo stick given to He Lingwei poked the tendons of their joints.Although he was not injured, it was impossible to bite again. The four beggars yelled at the same time: "What a trick to hit the two mastiffs with a stick!" One of the old beggars went over and rubbed the feet of the two dogs, and while rubbing, he said: "Brother Cheng, hurry up!" Tell your father to come out, this big brother is from our gang..." Before he could finish talking, he saw an old beggar carrying nine cloth bags walking out side by side with a rough man about fifty years old. The boy called out, "Daddy and Uncle Wu are here." The three young beggars didn't know who the little boy called "Uncle Wu" was, but the oldest beggar had already stepped forward and bowed down, saying, "Elder Wu, when did you come here?" "Uncle" is He Lingwei's master Samurai Dun.It has been two days since he came to the sub-helm of the Beggar Clan, but other than the leader and his son, the other disciples of the Beggar Clan have not known about it yet. He Lingwei was overjoyed and said: "Master, your old man is indeed here. This brother Li is a disciple of Hero Tan." The two went forward to see him. Wu Shidun smiled and said: "I know, Li Shixiong and I have already met." Li Zhongzhu saw that Wu Shidun was indeed the "officer of the Royal Forest Army" who helped them escape secretly in the Temple of Heaven that night, and he quickly thanked him. Wu Shidun laughed and said, "Your master and I are like brothers. If it wasn't for you that night, I wouldn't have gone to the Temple of Heaven. But what happened that night, you probably still think it's strange? A golden captive The officers of the Royal Forest Army will actually help you in secret." Li Zhongzhu said: "Yes, it was really unexpected. But after I met Brother He, I already knew it was Uncle Wu." Wu Shidun said: "Let's go in together, I will tell you slowly." While speaking, a group of people entered the living room. After sitting down, Wu Shidun said with a smile: "You and Li Shixiong came to look for me together, maybe there is something else?" He Lingwei said: "That's right, we have already been to the Huwei Escort Bureau and met the shopkeeper Liu of Hongfu Silk Shop. But Boss Ding's whereabouts are still unknown..." Before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Kunlun say: "I'm going to tell you about this, just wait a moment." After saying that, he walked into the inner hall, and after a while, he came out with a middle-aged man who was about to Under the cover of being the owner of a silk shop, Ding Shi, the fragrance leader of the Long Whale Gang. Ding Shi's injuries have not yet healed, but his spirit is very good, seeing Li and He, he is very happy. Ding Shi told what happened that night, and Li Zhongzhu knew that he and shopkeeper Liu were rescued by disciples of the Beggar Gang. Lu Kunlun said: "After I met Elder Wu, I had already expected that Boss Ding's silk shop might be in trouble, so I sent a few capable disciples to help secretly. Fortunately, the masters of the Tartar Imperial Forest Army that night were almost the same as Mr. Wan Yanhao went to the Temple of Heaven, and the officers and soldiers sent to seal up the shop were only second-rate characters. The disciples of our gang killed the two officers who besieged Boss Ding in that alley, and rescued Boss Ding back here. Shopkeeper Liu will be sent to Huwei Escort Bureau." Wu Shidun then explained to them: "The location of the sub-helm of the gang must be kept a secret. Although the shopkeeper Liu is a fellow, he is not the incense master of the Long Whale Gang, and the disciple of the gang who rescued him is also a secret. His identity has not been clarified, according to the rules of the gang, he can only be sent to the home of their trusted friends." Lu Kunlun continued: "Now that everything is clear, I don't need to worry about it. In two days, I will send someone to secretly bring back shopkeeper Liu, so as not to hurt old escort Meng." Wu Shidun smiled and said: "Okay, now it's time to talk about me. Li Shixiong, you must be wondering why I became an officer of the Imperial Forest Army of the Kingdom of Jin. I was by Wan Yanhao's side that night. Why don't you kill him?" Li Zhongzhu said: "Wu Daxia thinks it's because he's afraid to scare the snake, killing Wan Yanhao won't be of much use." Warrior Dun said: "This is of course one of the reasons. Another more important reason is that I want to cause civil strife in the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin. This time I came to Dadu and found out a secret. Howe was the one who most encouraged his father to usurp the throne." He Lingwei was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Master, how did you know this secret?" Warrior Dun said: "Twenty years ago, I used to hang out in the Royal Forest Army of the Kingdom of Jin, and I also made a few honest friends. You must know that there are also good people among the officers of the Kingdom of Jin, and they are not exactly the same as Wanyan. They vented their breath. Some of them even sympathized with us Han people and opposed the wanton aggression of their own country." He Lingwei nodded, and said, "I understand. Hero Tan, the martial artist, is brother Li's master, and he is still the son of Jin Guo." Wu Shidun continued: "The night before the accident at Master Ding Xiang's house, I changed into the uniform of an officer of the Imperial Forest Army of the Kingdom of Jin, and stole into Wanyan Changzhi's 'Prince Mansion'. I originally wanted to inquire about the military secrets of the Kingdom of Jin, At the same time, I also want to secretly meet those friends I met in the Yulin Army. I didn't expect how they planned to attack the Song Dynasty and how to deal with the rebel army. Let me know about the capture of Lilac Lord and Li Shixiong." Li Zhongzhu said with a smile: "Oh, so they already know that I am the guy from the silk shop." Samurai Dun said: "That day you used the 'shocking fingering technique' on the diagram of the 'Acupoint Bronze Figure' at the Huwei Escort to tap Yehu Anda's acupoints, Wan Yanhao had already become suspicious. Only your master and his father, at first he suspected that your master came here by himself. Later, he talked to his father, and his father said that if it was your master's acupuncture point, with his little skill, he would definitely not be able to untie it. Therefore, he guessed that you must be a disciple of Wulin Tianjiao. It is precisely because their father and son dare not despise you that night, Ren Tianwu and Sha Yanliu, who are considered first-class masters on their side, were dispatched to Ding's house to arrest you. People. Hehe, your master and I are like brothers. I know this, how can I ignore it? It just so happened that you and Miss Ren ran into the Temple of Heaven by mistake that night, so that I would not have to start a fight outside. It couldn't be better." Li Zhongzhu said: "One thing I don't understand yet, why did Wan Yanhao and some of his capable men hide in the Temple of Heaven that night instead of going to Ding's house to arrest someone?" Samurai Dun said: "This is related to their father and son's plot to usurp the throne. The 'Temple of Heaven' is the place where the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin must go to 'sacrifice to heaven' every New Year's Day. You must already know?" Li Zhongzhu said: "What does this have to do with their conspiracy to usurp the throne?" Samurai Dun said: "According to the rules, the Temple of Heaven must be repaired once a year. No matter whether it is damaged or not, people must be sent to inspect, tidy up and clean it. If there is a place that needs to be built, it must be started immediately. The time is mostly selected every year. In winter, within forty-nine days before New Year's Day, the "Qin Tianjian" will choose an auspicious day and send an imperial envoy to deal with this matter. This imperial envoy must be a member of the royal family." Li Zhongzhu said: "Oh, I understand. Wan Yanhao got the job of this imperial envoy." Warrior Dun said: "Yes, he has deep ulterior motives for this mission. The Temple of Heaven is a 'holy place', except for him in the name of the imperial envoy and his entourage, no other officials can enter. He wants to find If some people come to discuss big plans with him, the Temple of Heaven is the best place to have a meeting. It is much better than gathering people in his 'Wangfu' to discuss." Li Zhongzhu said: "So that's the case. Ding's house is near the Temple of Heaven, so he sent his subordinates to Ding's house to arrest people. In fact, the main purpose is to use the Temple of Heaven as a place for secret business." Wu Shi Dun said: "You are right, but he still attaches great importance to arresting people. Because Wanyan Changzhi is most concerned about your master, you are the apprentice of Wulin Tianjiao, and he is also afraid that you are a slave Master ordered me to come to Dadu to spy on their secrets." Li Zhongzhu said with a smile: "Of course my master is still very concerned about the affairs of the country, but he never thought that Wanyan Changzhi and his son would have such great ambitions." Warrior Dun said: "Throughout the ages, all heroes must be suspicious. What's more, they are plotting such a big thing! Of course, we must guard against all suspicious people as much as possible." "That night, Wan Yanhao used a two-pronged strategy. On the one hand, he dispatched Ren Tianwu and Sha Yanliu to lead the warriors to Ding's house to arrest people, and on the other hand, he secretly negotiated with his confidantes in the Temple of Heaven. Ren and Sha were the first class on their side. A master of Yi, as long as your master is not in Ding's house, he thought you would be captured in one go, but he didn't expect that he would break into the Temple of Heaven for you." He Lingwei said: "How do their father and son plan to usurp the throne? Does Master already know?" Warrior Dun said: "As a result of secret negotiations between Wan Yanhao and his confidant warriors, it is planned to assassinate the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin when he worships the heavens at the Temple of Heaven on New Year's Day next year. The ministers who accompanied the emperor to worship the heavens will also be killed at the same time." Lu Kunlun said with a smile: "This plan is really vicious. The ministers who can accompany the emperor to sacrifice to heaven are of course loyal to the emperor's confidantes. This way, they will be wiped out in one go, saving their father and son from sending people to assassinate them one by one." He Lingwei laughed and said, "The Tartars are killing each other. For us, this is a great 'good thing'." Warrior Dun thought for a while, and said for a while: "Whether this matter is beneficial or harmful to us, I haven't thought through it yet. I will try to send this news to Jinji Ridge as soon as possible, and listen to Xiaoao Qiankun and Penglai. The witch's opinion. Li Shixiong's master may also come to Dadu, I hope I can meet him soon and discuss with him." He Lingwei couldn't figure it out for a while, and said, "Our rebel army is going to drive out the Jinkou and restore the country. They kill each other, is there any disadvantage to us?" Li Zhongzhu was full of surprises and said, "Is my master coming too? Wu Daxia, did you meet him before you came to Dadu?" Wu Shidun first answered Li Zhongzhu's question: "I sneaked into Dadu this time, which is the result of discussing with your master. I will tell you the details slowly." Then he answered the apprentice's question: "Yes, in the ordinary situation , the Tartars killing each other should be beneficial to us. But the current situation is a bit different, whether it is beneficial or harmful, I dare not draw conclusions." He Lingwei said: "What's the difference?" The warrior Dun said: "Because there are still Mongolian Tartars. After the great victory of the Mongolian Western Expedition, the national power has far surpassed that of Jin and Song. Their first plan is to destroy the Jin, and the second step is to destroy the Song. And Most of the land occupied by the Jin Kingdom is also the territory of our Han people. When the Mongols invade, the Jurchen Tartar Emperor of the Jin Kingdom will certainly be overthrown, but the Han people and the Jurchen people will suffer as well!" Wu Shidun continued: "The princes and ministers in Mongolia are also divided into two factions. One faction advocates uniting the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and the other faction advocates uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty. Of course, this is just a matter of strategic priority. Looking back, I still have to eat the armor." Lu Kunlun said: "That's right, I also heard some rumors about this matter. Last month, Wen Yifan, the leader of the martial arts alliance in the south of the Yangtze River, sent me a letter saying that the small imperial court in Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty was discussing a secret alliance with Mongolia. But Han The prime minister advocates making peace with the state of Jin." Samurai Dun said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the faction in Mongolia that advocates uniting the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Dynasty has the upper hand. But the leader of the faction that unites the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty is the Mongolian Khan himself." Li Zhongzhu said: "The Great Khan of Mongolia is the emperor, why did his claim fall to the disadvantage?" Samurai Dun said: "The most powerful person in Mongolia now is not Chagatai who is the Great Khan, but Tuo Lei who is the Marshal. He advocates uniting the Song Dynasty to eliminate gold. But Tuo Lei is not only good at fighting but also He is very resourceful, although he advocates uniting the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Dynasty, on the other hand, he is still trying to win over the people in power in the Jin Kingdom. He will never let the Jin Kingdom know his true intentions." Lu Kunlun was greatly admired, and said: "Elder Wu, I only know that you live in seclusion in the mountains and don't care about world affairs. Who knows that you know the inside information of Mongolia like the back of your hand!" Wu Shidun said: "Over the years, I have been to Mongolia several times, the last time was three months ago, I met the martial arts genius Tan Yuchong in Helin, and only then did I know that he spent more time in Mongolia than I did. He has a friend, Shangguan Fu, who used to be the deputy of the Dragon Elephant Dharma King. Shangguan Fu is from the Liao Kingdom. He fled to Mongolia in order to restore the country. Later, the Dragon Elephant Dharma King found out his identity and he escaped. He Lin. (For the story of Shangguan Fu, see my book "Looking at the Sword with a Lamp".) Most of the things I know are told by them." Li Zhongzhu asked, "Did my master say when he would come back?" Wu Shidun said: "At that time, he told me that he had one unfinished business to stay in Mongolia for ten and a half months. Now it happens to be half a month before I come to Dadu, and he will probably be here soon." Then Said: "But before your master came, a secret envoy from Tuo Lei came first. This secret envoy was ordered to see Wanyan Changzhi. That day was the day when Huwei Escort opened." Li Zhongzhu recalled the events of that day, and said: "No wonder Wan Yanhao hurried home that day, so he was going to accompany his father to meet the Mongolian envoy." Warrior Dun said: "Wanyan Changzhi's plan to usurp the throne is backed by Tuo Lei. Of course, Tuo Lei agreed to support him as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but his intention was to weaken the Jin Kingdom's national power so that his plan to destroy Jin can be achieved." It's just finished early!" Everyone couldn't imagine that the inside story was so complicated, and they couldn't help but look at each other in awe. Li Zhongzhu said: "Master comes, that's all right." He Lingwei said: "Master, what other orders do you have?" Wu Shidun said: "I tried to contact Mr. Meng, the head of the Huwei Escort Bureau. You should go back first. I will send someone to inform you if there is anything to do." He and Li bid farewell to Chief Lu and walked out of the Beggars' Clan. It was only noon. Li Zhongzhu said: "Brother He, you go home first, so as not to worry your father." He Lingwei said: "Why?" Li Zhongzhu said: "I used to live in the house of my master's nanny, but later I moved to Ding Shi's house. I told her that I would go back to see her in a few days. Now it has been more than ten days in a blink of an eye. I'm like a loving grandmother, and I think it's time for me to visit her too." He Lingwei smiled and said, "You also want to inquire about your master?" Li Zhongzhu said: "That's right. If the master comes to Dadu, he will definitely come to the nanny's house." He Lingwei said: "In that case, I will go with you. First, I also want to see the Lingshi, and second, we should go back together when we come together. Otherwise, if I go back alone, Dad will be even more worried." You must know Wulin Tianjiao's nanny is now a servant of Wanyan Changzhi's "Prince's Mansion", He Lingwei is worried that Li Zhongzhu will encounter an accident alone, so he is worried. Wulin Tianjiao's nanny is over sixty years old, her husband is dead, and she has only one son.After Wulin Tianjiao left home, the Tan family no longer wanted her.Knowing this, Wanyan Changzhi thought that their mother and son might still have something to use, so pretending to be merciful, he asked the head of the mansion to take them in. The nanny's son works as a gardener in Wanyan Changzhi's "Prince's Mansion", but he doesn't live in the "Prince's Mansion", but lives in a simple servant's house outside the garden. Li Zhongzhu led He Lingwei to the nanny's residence. The nanny was overjoyed, nagging and asking endlessly, and welcomed He Lingwei, saying: "If you two don't think my place is shabby, please stay here. He Xianggong, you don't know, although his master is a beizi, he is very kind to me, and he never puts on the master's airs when he grows up. He came back once a few years ago, he didn't live at home, and Stayed here for one night." Li Zhongzhu said: "This Xianggong He is a local, and I live in his home. Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to disturb you anymore." The nanny was very disappointed and said, "Then at least you should wait until my son comes back. Mr. He, do you live in the city or outside the city?" He Lingwei said: "I live in Xishan." The nanny was even more disappointed, and said: "I live in Xishan, the road is far away. I dare not force you to stay, but please let me make you a lunch. Let's go after eating." Li Zhongzhu said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, old man, we came here after lunch. I want to ask you something." The nanny said: "What's the matter?" Li Zhongzhu said: "Brother He is a good friend of mine, so don't be shy if you have something to say. You mentioned my master just now. I heard that he will come to Dadu recently. I wonder if he has come yet?" The nurse's eyes lit up, and she said, "Really? I really miss him. But I don't think he's coming yet, or he'll come and see me when he does." Li Zhongzhu said: "I have lived with you for a few days, do people in the 'Prince's Mansion' know about it? After I left, did anyone come to check?" The nanny said: "Who would care about me, old woman? I have lived here for more than ten years. At first, people from the 'Prince's Mansion' came to visit me occasionally. From the second year on, no one came. Don't worry , you told me not to tell outsiders, even though I am old and foolish, I will not speak out. People in the 'Wangfu', I will not let them know." As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard someone talking outside the house. One said: "Is it this room?" The other said: "The manager told me that it is the third mud house in the left corner of the back garden. It is probably not wrong. Let's go in Take a look." The voice sounded like a familiar one! Li Zhongzhu was taken aback.It turned out that these two people were none other than Wan Yanhao and Ren Tianwu.Li Zhongzhu hurriedly whispered to his nanny: "It's the little prince who is here, we can't let him see it, let's take a place to hide." The nanny pointed to the woodshed and said: "I just bought a few loads of firewood yesterday, you hide behind the woodpile , I will deal with it." Just as they hid themselves, the two wooden doors were kicked open with a "bang", and Wan Yanhao and Ren Tianwu came in. The nurse was trembling with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "We are poor and broke, and we have nothing. You, you are—" Li Zhongzhu snickered when he heard it in the firewood room: "Unexpectedly, she pretended to be alike." Ren Tianwu was angry and funny at the same time, and said: "Old lady, open your eyes and see, this is the little prince, how dare you treat us as robbers?" The nanny said, "What are you talking about? My ears are a bit leeward, so I can't hear you clearly." Ren Tianwu shouted loudly in her ear: "This is the little prince, do you understand?" Then the nanny knelt down and said: "The old lady is ignorant, the little prince forgives the sin." Wan Yanhao smiled and said: "I don't know if it's not a crime. Old woman, is our palace treating you well?" The nanny said: "Okay, okay. Our mother and son are taken in by the palace." Wan Yanhao said loudly: "You know it's good, then you have to tell me the truth!" The nanny said: "What does the little prince want me to say?" Wan Yanhao said: "I heard that Tan Beizi has returned, have you seen him?" The nanny was taken aback, and thought: "Sure enough, I'm here to ask Tan Beizi again." Pretending to be pleasantly surprised but not hearing clearly, she said: "What did you say, Tan Beizi, he, has he come back? "Wan Yanhao said: "Yes, he is back, you—" the nanny called: "He is back? Where is he?" Wan Yanhao frowned, and said loudly: "Where is he, I just want to ask you!" The nanny said: "Oh, I thought you were going to tell me where he was, but you were asking me. How would I know? If Tan Beizi came back, of course he would visit the prince first, why would he come to this poor house to see me? Madam?" Wan Yanhao said: "You are his nanny, his parents have long since died, and the only relative is you, why didn't he come to see you?" Afraid she couldn't hear clearly, he said this twice. The nanny smiled bitterly and said: "He is the master, and I am a slave. Little prince, if you say that, I, a miserable old woman, can't afford it. Even if he still remembers eating my milk when he was young, he probably thinks I'm dead. " Wan Yanhao said: "It seems that this old woman really doesn't know, we made this trip for nothing." Ren Tianwu said in a low voice: "I think this old woman is a bit treacherous. You can ask her about the kid whose surname is Li. Give her some sweetness." Wan Yanhao smiled and said: "Yes, it is necessary to use both lures and threats." He only thought that this nanny was really deaf and couldn't hear the tricks they whispered.Immediately took out two ingots of ingots, put them in front of the nanny, and said loudly: "Look at these two ingots of big ingots, each weighs fifty taels, and two of them are one hundred taels. One hundred taels of silver is enough for you to live on." Half a lifetime. Do you want it?" The old woman shook her head and said: "You will not be rewarded for no merit. Even though my old woman is greedy for money, she would not dare to accept money from the young prince for no reason." Wan Yanhao smiled and said: "I want to ask you about someone, you tell me honestly, this money is yours." The nanny said, "Who?" Wan Yanhao carefully described Li Zhongzhu's appearance in front of her, and said, "This man's surname is Li. I know you must have seen him. Where is he?" After the nurse pretended to understand with difficulty, she said, "My lord, who is this person you're talking about? I've never seen him before!" Wan Yanhao frowned and said: "Think about it more clearly, don't lie to me." Then he took out a jade flute and said: "This man is Tan Beizi's apprentice, he has a jade flute, which looks similar to this one of." The nanny let out an "ahhh" and said, "Little prince, you are joking." It was: How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
