On the other side.
In an inconspicuous small courtyard.
Xue Feng came to the courtyard gate alone and silently.
He tapped on the door a few times in a special rhythm.
Then the door opened, and Xue Feng quickly walked in.
He came to a bedroom.
The bedroom was dimly lit, and a young man inside was already waiting anxiously on the heated brick bed.
When Xue Feng saw the man, he hurriedly saluted:
"Xue Feng pays respects to Your Highness!"
The young man hurriedly helped Xue Feng up:
"You and I don't need to stand on ceremony. Please sit down and talk."
The young man pulled Xue Feng down to sit. His every move was filled with anxiety, but he had to forcibly suppress it.
Xue Feng knew the man was anxious, so he said:
"Your Highness, everything is going very smoothly."
"That Eunuch Che has already sent the Prince to the place I chose."
"The Prince is now... although he is suffering a bit, he is still alive."
Hearing this, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body finally relaxed.
He sighed and said:
"Che Ziyi is a good man. He took my family's money and is really working hard."
"It depends on whether the next few days will be smooth."
"The most important thing still depends on Eunuch Chang."
"Eunuch Chang's appetite is too big and difficult to satisfy, but this matter can't be delayed, which is the most troublesome thing."
Upon hearing this, Xue Feng stood up without hesitation and said:
"The Xue family is willing to sell their property and give their full support!"
The young man smiled when he heard this, and he waved his hand to signal Xue Feng to sit down.
After Xue Feng sat down, the young man said:
"The Xue family has good intentions, but it's not necessary to go that far."
"What Eunuch Chang wants is not just a little money, but something of real value."
"But no matter what, my family will definitely satisfy him."
"As long as we can save Father, everything is worth it."
Xue Feng nodded upon hearing this.
At this moment, the young man grabbed Xue Feng's hand and said seriously:
"Xue Feng, I will trouble you to take good care of my father during this time."
"No matter what, please be sure to protect his life."
Xue Feng hurriedly saluted solemnly:
"The Prince's matter is also the Xue family's matter."
"For this matter, I, Xue Feng, will not hesitate to die!"
"There is only one person, I still don't know what he wants."
"That is the soldier who stands guard and watches over the Prince with me, his name is Liang Jin."
"This person has no father, no mother, no wife, no children, does not covet money, does not pursue promotion, and is not diligent in practicing martial arts on weekdays."
"It is difficult to find his weakness for a while."
Hearing this, the young man didn't care.
Just a small soldier.
If this soldier was not related to his father, he would not even be worthy of entering his ears.
"If it doesn't work, have him transferred."
"If that doesn't work, then get rid of him."
The young man said lightly.
But Xue Feng shook his head slightly:
"I have tried to have him transferred. To this end, I even went to the upper echelons of the Imperial Guards yesterday."
"But the upper echelons of the Imperial Guards have already given me a bottom line, which is that there must be no fewer than two soldiers in my shift guarding the Prince."
"I know that the upper echelons of the Imperial Guards do not trust me. The more I want to transfer Liang Jin, the more they will want Liang Jin to stay and watch me."
"So this Liang Jin cannot be transferred, nor can he be killed, otherwise it will cause the Imperial Guard officials to lose their trust in me, and it may ruin the big event."
The young man frowned slightly.
If he can't be transferred or killed, then he must be made one of their own.
Immediately, the young man pondered:
"If he doesn't love money or power, then he must love beauties, right?"
"It just so happens that I brought twelve beauties with me when I came to the capital, each one is a national treasure."
"If what he wants is not a beauty, but to seek a marriage, he can choose any daughter of an official below the sixth rank in this capital."
For a small soldier to be able to marry the daughter of an official, it is already burning incense in his previous life.
Xue Feng shook his head slightly:
"That Liang Jin never goes to brothels, and is definitely not a lecherous person."
"And he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get married. Perhaps he already has a sweetheart. I found that he is very close to a palace maid in the palace."
As long as palace maids don't encounter special circumstances in the palace, they will eventually leave the palace sooner or later.
Normal palace maids come out in their twenties, and some as late as their thirties.
And after palace maids leave the palace, marriage is also a way out.
Some low-level Imperial Guard officers have also married palace maids who have left the palace as wives, using the palace maids' connections in the palace to seek a path to promotion.
The young man frowned:
"Xue Feng, no matter what method you use, you must settle that Liang Jin."
"My father's matter is absolutely not allowed to have any mistakes!"
Xue Feng guaranteed:
"Your Highness, please rest assured."
"Even if that Liang Jin is so indifferent, he is still a small person after all, and he is not difficult to deal with."
"I will definitely handle this matter well!"
… … … … … …
Drunken Wind Tower.
Liang Jin had eaten his fill.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly thought of something.
"Yesterday's series of events caused me to forget to look at the intelligence I received yesterday."
Immediately, Liang Jin opened the intelligence panel.
This look made Liang Jin slightly surprised:
"I actually completed two tasks?"
"It seems that in addition to the daily guard duty task, guarding the Prince of Huaiyang is also considered a task."
Then, he looked at the refreshed intelligence on the panel.
【Intelligence 1: Wen Anshuang, a first-class inner court guard in the harem, secretly loves Consort Min, but for the glory of his family and his own future, he can only hide this fiery emotion in his heart. Little does he know that Consort Min also secretly has a crush on him. 】
【Intelligence 2: The Ji family in Yanguixiang in the east of the capital is facing difficulties in life and plans to sell a half-volume of the "Crimson Fire Sky Burning Sword Technique" secret manual, which is treasured in their home, to tide over the difficulties, but the Ji family does not know how much to quote. 】
Seeing this first piece of intelligence, Liang Jin quickly skipped it.
He really has no interest in this kind of erotic intelligence.
There are not many men who can enter the harem, and even the Imperial Guards are not qualified to enter the harem.
In addition to the emperor, there are only some guards, imperial physicians, favored ministers, and relatives of the emperor.
Among them, there are many types of guards. Only the inner court guards, commonly known as the imperial guards, can enter the harem.
These imperial guards are all descendants of meritorious nobles, highly skilled in martial arts, full of vigor, and have excellent image and temperament, and are particularly masculine.
Such men naturally please women.
The harem has three thousand beauties, gathering the most beautiful and elegant women in the world, and men are inevitably moved when they go there.
What interested Liang Jin was the latter piece of intelligence.
"The other half of the 'Crimson Fire Sky Burning Sword Technique' secret manual is actually in the capital?"
"No wonder Shao Hongbo, the former head of the Crimson Fire Sword Sect, searched for half his life in the south and failed to find its whereabouts. It turned out that it had fallen to the north."
Liang Jin is determined to obtain this secret manual.
After all, this is a earth-grade sword technique.
But Liang Jin also discovered some doubts from the intelligence:
"The Ji family..."
"Shao Hongbo said that the other half of the secret manual was taken away by his senior brother."
"But his senior brother's surname is Liu, not Ji."
Liang Jin felt that Shao Hongbo's senior brother might have changed his name after coming to the capital.
Immediately, Liang Jin hurriedly left the Drunken Wind Tower and headed towards Yanguixiang.
Yanguixiang can be regarded as one of the slums in the capital.
When the Dayu Dynasty was destroyed, many people in the capital chose to flee the capital to avoid the war.
With the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty and the end of the war, these refugees who had fled to various places returned one after another.
Unfortunately, when the people returned to Beijing, their former land and property had been seized and distributed by others.
Helpless, the people had to find a remote scorched earth to build houses and start a new life.
So this place is also called Yanguixiang.
The people gathered here are basically living in poverty, and the houses are dilapidated.
Sewage flows in the alleys, and the stench is overwhelming.
Liang Jin asked people all the way and finally found the Ji family.
But when he came to the Ji family, he found a large circle of people surrounding the outside.
Among the crowd, there were constant roars and smashing sounds.
"Could something have happened?"
Liang Jin's heart sank, and he hurried forward to take a look.
I saw that the gate of the Ji family had been smashed open.
Several fierce-looking men were smashing things in the Ji family.
"Find all the valuables and move them all away for me!"
"Move what you can, and smash what you can't!"
These men have fierce faces, wear black clothes, and their cuffs are closed with arm guards inlaid with iron nails.
Several of them also held bludgeons in their hands.
The clubs of Daqian also have a lot of attention.
At the beginning of the founding of the Taizu Emperor, he relied on his strong martial arts to defeat the world.
After that, he relied on the Six Doors and the Jishi Factory to suppress the martial arts world, and even wanted to ban martial arts in the world.
At that time, the control of weapons in the world was extremely strict.
Even clubs were required.
Clubs that have been drilled with holes and can make a sound when swung are called whistle sticks and are legal weapons.
Clubs that have not been drilled with holes and cannot make a sound are called bludgeons and are illegal weapons.
But since the death of Emperor Taizu, these laws have gradually become a dead letter.
During the time of Emperor Zhongzong, these complicated and redundant laws were abolished, and the martial arts world was able to prosper and develop.
But the impact of these laws has also spread among the people in another form.
Especially in the Jianghu, those who use whistle sticks generally claim to be upright.
Those who use bludgeons are generally figures from underworld gangs.
These people are carrying bludgeons, obviously people from the underworld.
The onlookers are obviously neighbors of Yanguixiang.
They stood far away, watching the strong men who were smashing things with fear, and no one dared to say a word.
Liang Jin casually pulled a passerby and asked:
"Excuse me, brother, where did the Ji family go?"
The passerby turned his head and said:
"Are you looking for Ji Zhong, the second child of the Ji family?"
"Their family has just been arrested by the Black Tiger Gang."
