Chapter 53: Going to the South to Kill (Part 1)
Yingtian City, deep in the imperial palace.
An old man with white hair and large black old spots on his face was lying weakly on the bed, his body filled with a moldy smell. More than a dozen fifth-rank imperial physicians surrounded him and stared at him carefully. Even if his muscles trembled slightly, someone immediately recorded it and then analyzed in detail to see if it was a sign of some disease.
A young man with a pretty face and slender figure, giving people a feeling of extreme weakness, wearing a lilac brocade robe, stood carefully in front of the window, looking at the old man on the bed with worry in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say a word. He was holding a small tea cup in his hand, with white water in it. The old man's body could no longer touch something irritating like tea. The only thing he could drink was soup and medicine.
Several eunuchs rushed in like wind, looking at the young man with nervous faces, constantly pointing fingers and signaling to tell him if he had something to tell him. The young man was slightly shocked, and he put down the teacup gently, and was about to walk out of the door.
But the old man opened his eyes and whispered: "Yun Wen, what's the matter? Well? You bold slaves, dare to hide something from me if you have something to do? You will cut them all later."
The eunuchs were so scared that they trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground. The eunuch with a huge turquoise inlaid on the hat that led the lead stammered: "Emperor, the old man of the Fang family, he, was assassinated. Seven masters of the Jinyiwei, and Fang Duxing, the Fang family, were also killed... The heads of the old man of the Fang family were taken away. The headless corpse left by the river. Fang Xiaoru had already taken people to collect the corpse. In addition..."
A fierce and terrifying light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he sneered: "What else? Is there any good news?"
The eunuch trembled all over and did not dare to raise his head, saying, "In addition, the spies from the Jinyiwei reported that the ministers and generals in the court received huge bribes of silver at the same time. Especially those famous generals, their wives and concubines, and close confidants, all received some rare treasures. Among the six ministers, the Minister of War actually received a silver note of 20,000 taels of silver."
The old man jumped up from the bed suddenly. He flew his arms and shouted wildly: "This group of rebellious sons, this group of rebellious sons... I, Zhu Yuanzhang, are not dead yet, what do they want to do? They are really good sons. My sons are so successful, and their movements are so fast, so fast... I, Zhu Yuanzhang, just two days after I was sick, they used all kinds of methods. I, I, I want to kill, I want to kill... Kill, kill, kill." The old man's face was red, his lips were purple, his eyes turned white, and he almost couldn't lift it up in one breath.
Several imperial physicians were so scared that they rushed up and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang. They were so angry that they were filled with the medicine. Yunwen knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Grandpa Emperor, you must take care of yourself and don't get angry anymore. If you have something at least, what should I do if you call grandson?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and a fierce sneer suddenly appeared on his face. His hand randomly pointed at a eunuch and shouted, "Pull it out, chop it." Immediately, the palace guards rushed in, grabbed the eunuch who was so scared that he had peed his pants and dragged it out. Soon, he heard a scream from the yard outside, and a head was sent in. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the head and his mood gradually calmed down. He waved his hand and asked the guards to throw the head out.
He walked up to Yunwen, gently patted Yunwen's head, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Call the ministers, summon all the ministers, civil and military officials, and call me. Before I die, they dare to openly accept bribes? Who gave me the money?"
The eunuch who led the lead was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. He immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know who sent the money to him. Those who gave the silver bills were mysterious, especially the martial arts skills. The Jinyiwei wanted to catch two people and chase seventeen people at the same time. As a result, thirteen people ran away, and four of them committed suicide on the spot... We also checked those silver bills, they were all issued by Shanxi Money House, and the people in the Money House couldn't tell the whereabouts of the money. In short, the money was stored in their Money House more than ten years ago."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed sarcastically: "Haha, haha, this is a dead soldier. Hehe, it took more than ten years of hard work to make arrangements? Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that there were such people in my son Zhu Yuanzhang. All the ministers who finally accepted bribes were sent out. These people were unreliable. Especially those generals, if I killed Lan Yu's family, they hated me, right? Yunmin, those generals were unreliable. If I killed Lan Yu's family, they began to hate me."
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted almost madly: "This group of people hate me, non-reliable, all hate me, non-reliable, I want to kill them all, all... Kill, kill, kill..." He murmured that he wanted to kill people, Zhu Yuanzhang had already lie back on the bed, and he had no energy to support him to go crazy like this. Of course, there was no way to implement the matter of summoning all ministers. But the eunuchs still went out to pass the orders and asked the ministers to wait outside. Otherwise, if Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered this, wouldn't he be in trouble?
On the way from Yingtian to Suzhou, Li Feng sat cross-legged on the soft carriage seat cushion, looking at the Qingming Sword in his hand with love. The sword body is three fingers wide, the sword spine is half thick, the sword body is four feet long, and the sword hilt is two palms long, which is very easy to hold. Qingmengmeng's sword has a thin ripples like clouds on the body. This should be the secret of Qingming Sword being good at breaking the internal palm power. Once the opponent's palm power comes into contact with the sword body, it will naturally flow along these streamlined ripples. Therefore, in front of Qingming Sword, any protective energy must be discounted by 70%.
The sword itself is extremely sharp. Li Feng tried many materials along the way, whether it was gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, etc., all of which were gently wiped into two pieces. Even the three-layer golden silk soft armor worn by an old eunuch was pierced by the sword and used to kill people. It was indeed a good guy. What made Li Feng even more happy was that when the sword was swinged, there was no sound at all, because he was good at breaking the wind, and the sword was like a fish in the air, without any resistance.
"This is indeed a good treasure for stabbing the knife in the back." Li Feng and the six old eunuchs were both admired. Especially the old eunuch who was stabbed in the soft armor with a pair of wrinkles, he even praised him repeatedly: "What a magic weapon. Lao Nu and others have been in the palace for decades. They have seen thousands of sword blades, but none of them can compare to him."
Li Feng said to himself: "This Qingming Sword is a powerful weapon, the best weapon. If you want to talk about magic weapons, it's far from it. Don't say "Surf Crow Abyss", even the "Cold Crow Sword" is hundreds of times stronger than him." Li Feng laughed: "No, this time, the benefits are all for me. When I go back to Yanjing City, I'll treat you all to a meal, and I'll give you some small thoughts to you."
Those eunuchs were very happy and knew very well what Li Feng meant. Apart from money, what else do they liked by old eunuchs? Isn’t it just money?
The group of seven people talked happily and walked all the way to Suzhou Prefecture. These old eunuchs, under the command of King Zhu Di of Yan, have always acted as a blessing and used various means to plot against others. And this Li Feng was also a gangster who was used to climbing up the head and stabbing the knife behind him as a pastime. The seven people found a lot of common language. From the means of killing people, the strategies to harm others, to the more severe punishments, etc., they had a great time chatting.
Li Feng sighed: "I didn't expect that there were so many strange punishments in our Jinyiwei. When would we catch a few people and send them in to have a good look at the fun."
An old eunuch smiled proudly: "Mr. Li, this punishment is profound. What punishment is there in our Jinyiwei? Hehe, if you want to watch the fun, it is simple. After the army captured the barbarians of Yuanmeng, we threw them in and enjoy them. Hehe, even if there are no Yuanmeng people, those officials who have been reported by spies may be sent in at any time. Is there always a pastime?"
Li Feng laughed loudly, but he did not expect that when the East Factory was established, the punishment technique of the Jinyiwei was developed to the fullest by Li Zi and turned into a ghost that everyone in the world was afraid of.
The carriage had arrived in front of Suzhou Prefecture, and several guards at the city gate surrounded him, checking the road and asking for taxes to enter. Where did the old eunuch who drove the car have been treated like this? In Yanjing City, no matter where he went, who would dare to be rude to them? As soon as his heart arose, a trace of white smoke appeared in his right hand, and he wanted to grab the guard who asked for money with one claw.
Li Feng stopped the impulsive old eunuch in time, took out a string of copper coins from his arms and threw them over, and said with a smile: "Brother, can Lu Yin return it to us, right?"
Who knew that the old eunuch's face was so evil that the guards guarding the city gate had already made the guards and soldiers who were guarding the city gate unhappy. They were always the only ones who made things difficult for others. Could it be that someone dared to make things difficult for them? The city gate official didn't say much, just tossed the road back and forth, and said slowly: "Oh, Shaanxi people, together with six servants, came to study in the south. Well, they were dressed up as scholars and wore swords? Are you scholars also wasted with swords? Tsk tsk, the swords did not have a scabbard, aren't you afraid of cutting your hands?"
Li Feng didn't say anything, and grabbed a ingot of silver and threw it over. The city gate official was stunned, and a smile appeared on his face. He grabbed the silver and stuffed it into his sleeves, nodded and smiled and handed Lu Yin back: "It turned out to be Mr. Li. He was offended just now, so he still didn't let go? Why are you blocking the road?"
Li Feng smiled and sat back on the carriage. The old eunuch drove the carriage to the city. But the oldest among the six eunuchs, the most tempered eunuch, passed the city gate official, slapped him with a slap, and shouted loudly: "Dog slave, dare to block my father-in-law... Well, grandpa, my way? I'm afraid of life?" The palm was slapped in real time. The city gate official rolled around the ground, and his big teeth squirted out wildly, fainted on the ground, and half of his face was shattered.
The soldiers guarding the gate were immediately in an uproar, and they picked up the weapons around them and rushed towards Li Feng and the others. Li Feng sighed, and saw that the people who had not passed by the city gate were suddenly Qingming, and a green light broke out of the car. He used his body to control the sword, his body twisted seven times in the air like a flying dragon, and the sword light was also twisted strangely seven times. When he landed on the ground, more than a dozen soldiers in the guards were all cut off their necks and died tragically on the ground.
The old eunuch Yin applauded and shouted: "It's wonderful, the 'Nine-Dragon of the 'Seven-Secret Sword of Huashan' is indeed extremely powerful."
Li Feng smiled bitterly: "It's only three days for kids to practice this trick, but you're laughing at me. Let's go quickly, these city gate officials are not easy to bother with. After all, this is not Yanjing City." According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, when they entered the city, they could be charged with treason. Li Feng could only kill these soldiers and silence them. Otherwise, the soldiers in the Guards would act in large numbers and they couldn't even run away. He began to regret it, how could he come out with these old eunuchs? They seemed to have no other ability except causing trouble. Especially they were all arrogant. Not long ago, a group of people served them tea a little slower, so they set fire to the inn?
How could this be the chief official in the royal palace? Is it just six bandits?
Old Eunuch Yin slapped the city gate official again, hugged all the passing tax they received in one day, and then Shiran followed Li Feng into the city. Li Feng was sweating all over: "These eunuchs are indeed more vicious than the other, and they took off all the copper coins on the dead, as if they were poor in their previous life. Damn, fortunately, I am with them, and the official is a little older than them, otherwise wouldn't you be careful of their money and killing them?"
Li Feng led the way and took six eunuchs to the hall of the Golden Dragon Gang. Li Feng smiled bitterly: "I'm really a hardworking life. I just went to the north a month ago, and now I have to run back again. The quiet life has only been less than three days. Damn, why bother?"
The eunuch Yin laughed: "Mr. Li, this is your blessing. The more you work, the more you make, the more you make, the higher your official position will be... But, this is the Jinlong helper? Why do you look murderous? Don't these people in the janitor know you?"
Li Feng frowned, right? There were more than 40 big men here today, and none of them knew each other. Li Feng snorted coldly, stepped onto the steps, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? I asked you to speak out... Li Feng is back, why are there no one receiving me? Are you blind?" Li Feng was so angry that he was considered Azhu's deputy and the deputy master of the Golden Dragon Gang. Why is no one admitting his account today?
When those big men heard Li Feng's name, their faces changed and they were about to scream. Li Feng raised his eyebrows violently and shouted: "Don't shout." He raised his feet and kicked a big man more than two feet away. He whistled out the fist like an iron hammer, making it impossible for more than a dozen nearby big men to speak, and he fell to the ground with a humming tragic look. This simplest set of Arhat Fist was taught by the old eunuch Yin when he saw that Li Feng really didn't have any skills in his hand except the Li Tianxing Palm, and he was bored for a while. Although the boxing technique was simple, it was extremely powerful when combined with Li Feng's internal strength to hit these ordinary minions.
The six eunuchs watched Li Feng take action and rushed forward without hesitation. They were vicious and there were a lot of noises. The forty men were all twisted and fell to the ground with their hands and feet broken. There were also a few unlucky ones, and their necks were twisted. They were now holding their heads and shouting silently.
Li Feng kicked open the door and rushed in with the Qingming sword. More than fifty big men rushed over from all sides and shouted: "What are you doing? Don't you want to die? Do you know where this place is? Where did the bastard come from, dare to break in randomly? Come on, the brothers at the door were all knocked down."
Li Feng snorted: "Dapan Dragon Sword." His body had already rotated like a whirlwind, spanning ten feet of space. The sword edge emitted a buzzing buzzing beside him, scattering green sword lights. He was like a violent dragon, passing ten feet of distance, leaving fifty-seven big men within ten feet of falling to the ground, twisting on the ground with blood all over his body. Just a sword, these big men had hundreds of small wounds cut open, enough to let them lie on the bed for a month.
An old eunuch murmured in a low voice: "This Li Feng is simply a monster. His sword technique was still awful. Three days later, he could use such a exquisite sword force... Although the heat was still a little bad, he was already a first-class sword technique."
Old Eunuch Yin laughed: "Isn't that good? Our own manpower is, the stronger the better. Otherwise, what would our Jinyiwei use to scare people? Lord Li is a genius. Although his sword skills are a little bad, his skills are extremely high. As long as he has internal strength, wouldn't it be easy to learn Huashan's sword technique? In addition to the Little Star Palm, Huashan also has a little attention. What is the Seven-Secret Sword? It's just average." Old Eunuch Yin's tone was so big that it was so big.
