The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 134 The Story of Taking a Concubine ([-]-character chapter)

The first month of the second year of Hongzhi.

The entire officialdom in the capital was jittery.Deputy Qianhu Qian Ning led Tiqi out to arrest the Qing rumor officer.

Qing rumor officials are all at home like fish waiting to die, waiting for Ti Qi to come to the door.

Things in the world are so interesting.In order to find a substitute, Chang Feng promoted Qian Ning.In this way, Qian Ning started a prominent official career of more than 30 years.

Channing was crazy busy.Changfeng is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.Stay at home for the New Year.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Changfu kitchen.

Chang Feng, Lao Taishan Liu Bingyi, and younger sister Tangtang rolled the dough to make buns.Liu Xiaoyan hugged Zhuang Zhuang and watched from the side.

It is a custom in the capital to eat zygote on the third day of the first lunar month.A zygote is a pie.

It's very clever to have the stand-in standing in the foreground and weeding.Chang Feng is in a good mood, and today he specially cooks for himself.

Tangtang picked up the white flour and wiped it on Chang Feng's nose.

Liu Bingyi smiled and said, "Good boy, Tangtang. This white nose can't be wiped off. In Kunqu opera, anyone with a white nose is a treacherous villain."

Chang Feng said casually: "Don't even mention it, I really did a treacherous thing recently."

Tangtang wiped white flour on Liu Bingyi's nose again: "Uncle-in-law, you should be a treacherous villain with brother, haha."

Hu Zi ran in with a bone in his mouth.It was lying on the edge of the stove, comfortably roasting the fire and gnawing on the bones.

Zhuang Zhuang was "babbling" in Liu Xiaoyan's arms, speaking baby language, and smiling "hahaha" from time to time.

The family is happy.

At this moment, the servant reported: "Master, Qian Xiaoqi from Jin Yiwei is asking to see you."

Chang Feng corrected him: "Now it's Deputy Qianhu."

Chang Feng came to the living room after speaking.When Qian Ning saw him falling down, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Subordinate Qian Ning, Happy New Year to Master Chang! I wish you every step of the way!"

Chang Feng laughed and said, "Please get up quickly!"

Channing stood up.Chang Feng asked: "Have all the gossip officials involved in forming a party in Beijing been arrested?"

Qian Ning replied: "A total of 130. All of them have been arrested. Now one-third of the prison cells are guards."

Chang Feng said: "Well, interrogate them immediately. Let them confess to some crimes that are not enough to lose their officials or their lives."

"After getting the confession, hand it over to the three courts for conviction."

Qian Ning asked: "Our Jin Yiwei can convict, so why hand it over to the San Judicial Division?"

Chang Feng explained: "The emperor wants to drive them out of Beijing in an open and honest manner. Our Jinyiwei's reputation is too bad, and it is not open and aboveboard."

Qian Ning cupped his hands: "Yes. By the way, Master Chang, I was busy catching people, and I didn't come to give you a New Year gift on the first day of the new year. I will make up for it today."

After speaking, Qian Ning handed over a gift list, and asked someone to carry a small box.

Chang Feng glanced at it, and there were 500 taels of silver on the gift list.There are also Suzhou and Hangzhou silk, Nanjing Yunjin and so on, all of which are precious things.

Qian Ning, this guy, let Chang Feng sell it, and he was in a hurry to give him money.

After reading the gift list, Chang Feng's expression changed: "Qian Ning, if you want to do this, we will not be brothers who have lived and died together!"

"You and I are like-minded and have fought together. You are like a half-brother. How can I take your money?"

Qian Ning hurriedly said, "These are just my thoughts."

Chang Feng waved his hand: "It would be vulgar for us brothers to talk about money. If you don't take back the gift list, I'll serve tea to see off guests now."

Qian Ning had no choice but to put the gift slip back into his sleeve.

Chang Feng said again: "The Qingliu in the capital is finished. The next step is to catch the Qingliu in Nanjing. Weeding is exhausted."

"My father, Eunuch Qian, has been the eunuch guarding Nanjing for eight years. Nanjing is his territory."

"Jiang Cong, the current supervisor of Nanjing, is your father's confidant."

"After the new year, you immediately take Sanbai Paoze to Nanjing, and let Eunuch Jiang cooperate to drive those noisy crows out of the officialdom."

Qian Ning smiled and said, "Master Chang, you're right. Nanjing has always been my adoptive father's domain! When I go there on business, it's like a fish in water."

"Don't worry, when I get there, I will wipe them all out in less than half a month, and take them all down!"

Chang Feng said with satisfaction: "Well, I believe in Brother Qian's ability. Otherwise, I wouldn't have advised the emperor to promote you to Deputy Qianhu."

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Qian Ning began to thank Dade again: "You not only promoted me to an official this time, but also gave me a lot of prestige in the capital!"

"I'm afraid Ge Lao and Da Jiuqing will not dare to despise me in the future."

The two chatted for a while, and Qian Ning said goodbye and left.

Just as Qian Ning left, Ma Wensheng arrived.

Ma Wensheng didn't bring any gift list to Chang Feng, he only brought a full stomach of anger.

Chang Feng cupped his hands towards Ma Wensheng: "Mr. Ma, please be polite."

Ma Wensheng's face was ashen, and he sat down on the chair unceremoniously: "Chang Feng, you are too outrageous! After arresting all the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Department is empty!"

Chang Feng accompanied him with a smile: "My Ma Laobutang, you have wronged me. It is the emperor's order to Jinyiwei to investigate the speech officials in Beijing."

"The treasurer of our Jinyiwei is Commander Zhu. He entrusted the errand to Qian Ning."

"Everyone was caught by Qian Ning. It has nothing to do with me."

Ma Wensheng sneered: "Heh, do you believe this? You can fool others, but not me!"

"Channing is just your marionette!"

The old horse is a sensible person.

Chang Feng restrained his smile: "Nothing can be hidden from Ma Laobutang's eyes."

Ma Wensheng sighed: "Alas. In fact, I am also dissatisfied with the Beijing Central Spokesman. Several restructuring strategies of the Ministry of War this year have been pushed back by the military department to the joint censor."

"It's just that I think you have to have a degree in doing things. It's fine if you arrest a few leaders. Why did you clear the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate? What do you say?"

Chang Feng said: "Ma Laobutang. Don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. There are many officials in Ming Dynasty. After clearing out a batch of disobedient ones, the emperor will replace a batch of obedient ones."

"In less than two months, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will still be thriving."

"The current emperor is a Mingjun. Those who are disobedient staying in Beijing will only hinder the emperor's great cause of hard work."

Ma Wensheng said: "Well, what you said is somewhat reasonable. That's all, I wish you a happy Chinese New Year. I will be promoted next year. I will take a step first."

Chang Feng sent Ma Wensheng away and returned to the kitchen.

Liu Xiaoyan asked, "Qian Ning is gone?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Just as Qian Ning left, Ma Butang came. I talked to Ma Butang for a while."

Liu Bingyi said from the side: "It's only been three or four days, and Qian Ning has become famous in Beijing! My colleagues in the civil service gave Qian Ning a nickname - 'Qian Lang'!"

"My son-in-law, you are really capable. You directly promoted an unknown little milk dog into a wolf that shocked the officialdom."

Chang Feng said: "Where is it? I didn't promote Qian Ning. His adoptive father is Eunuch Qian Bingbi, the supervisor of rituals. The emperor reuses Qian Ning for Eunuch Qian's face."

"Old Taishan, please tell your colleagues and friends about this."

Chang Feng is spreading news through his father-in-law: Qian Ning is arrogant and domineering in the capital, and I didn't instigate it.If you want to blame, you blame his adoptive father, Eunuch Qian.

After the zygote is steamed, the whole family can feast on it, needless to say.

Back to the bedroom at night.Chang Feng lay on the bed, feeling that the past year was unreal, like a dream.

In just one year, he was able to turn his hands into clouds and rain in the court hall.

You know, after this year, he is only 23 years old.

Sure enough, wealth and wealth are sought after insurance.If it weren't for the narrow escape in that autumn night in the 22nd year of Chenghua, he would be at most a disgraced little hundred household in Fusi, Beizhen, who was busy raiding his house.

It may not even be a hundred households.

Liu Xiaoyan suddenly gave Chang Feng a birth date card: "Here, it matches your horoscope very well, let's have a look."

Chang Feng took a few glances: "Whose horoscope?"

Liu Xiaoyan said: "On the second day of junior high school, you went to pay homage to the old inner minister's outer house, but you were not at home. Nine girls from Xiangxi Lane sent it."

"If someone sends you a birthday horoscope, it means telling you that they are willing to be your concubine."

Chang Feng frowned: "You just throw it away. What do you give it to me? Could it be to test my sincerity towards you?"

But Liu Xiaoyan said: "I didn't mean that. How can there be any officials in the capital who don't take concubines?"

"We've been married for two years now. You should take a concubine. Otherwise, those wives in Beijing will laugh at me as a jealous tigress."

Chang Feng said: "The emperor has only one woman, Empress Zhang."

Liu Xiaoyan smiled and scolded: "What you said is suspected of being disrespectful. Do you dare to compare with the emperor? Are you worthy of being compared with the emperor?"

"I think this Nine Girls is a nice person. She is quite right with me. When she gave her birthday horoscope yesterday, she also gave me an old yellow bow by the way."

"It is said that it was used by Han Shizhong, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty."

Chang Feng said: "Even if I take a concubine, I can't take Nine Girls! That woman has a lot of eyes. She is also in the business of selling stolen goods."

Liu Xiaoyan lay in Chang Feng's arms: "Forget it. Who you want to accept and who you don't want to accept, you can decide for yourself."

The spring of the second year of Hongzhi came quietly.

On the second day of February, Qian Ning wiped out all the procuratorates in the Capital Procuratorate and Liudu.

Most of those speech officials were dismissed or demoted, but no one lost their heads.

The "Prison of Officials in the Two Capitals" of the Hongzhi Dynasty, which was recorded in the annals of history, came to an end.

The one who profited the most from this big prison seems to be Liu Ji.Since then, no one in the two Beijing officials dared to impeach Liu Ji.

Chang Feng has both sides in this political tide.Liu Ji thanked him for his protection; Qian Ning thanked him for his support; Liu Jin followed him to be promoted and regarded him as a benefactor.

Emperor Hongzhi relied more on Chang Feng, and even felt that "I can't do without Chang Feng more and more".

Chang Feng is simply like Qin Shihuang eating peppercorns, and he is numb when he wins.

On this day, Chang Feng was checking out the account books of Beijing's confiscated house while he was on duty.

A wrestler came in and said, "I want to report to Qianhu. Miss Nine of Xiangxi Lane sent someone to bring you a message. She said that she was in serious trouble and she might lose her life. Let you go to Xiangxi Lane to save her."

Chang Feng's first reaction: It should be that Nine Girls took some stolen goods.He was arrested by people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Shuntian Prefecture.

That's nothing.With his current status, he could save Nine Girls just by saying hello.

Coincidentally, a recent inspection of the Qianhu Office ransacked the house and confiscated a pile of stolen goods such as good wooden wares, porcelain wares, and bronze wares.Saved up three full warehouses.

Chang Feng was going to find Jiu Niu to sell these things and distribute them to the robes.

He simply rode a horse and went to Xiangxi Lane himself.

I never thought that the Xiangxi Lane was calm and peaceful.Nine Girls set up a large pot in the courtyard to fry the sauced meat for spring pancakes.

Chang Feng said: "Miss Nine, you are in big trouble?"

Nine Girls laughed and said: "I don't want people to say that, why invite Brother Chang to eat spring pancakes!"

"Today, on February [-]nd, according to the rules of your Han people in the capital, you should eat spring pancakes. I will cook myself, so you must give me some face."

Chang Feng was helpless: "Okay. You have invited me to eat, drink, and drink tea more than a dozen times. I can't give up face just once."

Nine girls brought the dishes into the main room.In the main room, apart from the Babu bed copied from Cai Zhong's mansion, there is also a dining table.

Nine Girls was busy pouring wine and vegetables for Chang Feng, very enthusiastic.

After eating two rolls of spring pancakes and drinking two glasses of wine, Chang Feng suddenly felt something was wrong.

His face was hot and blood was rushing down.

Nine Girls were on the sidelines coquettishly saying: "Oh, Brother Chang, why are you blushing? Is it hot in spring, and you are still wearing cotton robes? I am also a little hot."

After speaking, Miss Nine took off her coat.

Chang Feng seemed to have a bug in his head.He stared at Nine Girls intently.

Nine Girls started directly: "Oh, brother. You are not feeling well. My sister will help you to rest on the bed for a while."

Nine Girls, a Tujia girl, is not only bold and unrestrained, but also daring and scary!

She poisoned Chang Feng's wine!

Naturally, this poison poses no threat to the man's life.It just makes men unable to hold back.

Nine girls are well-informed and know how high Chang Feng's status is now.

She was determined to be Chang Feng's concubine.In that case, looking at the entire capital, who the hell would dare touch my Xiangxi Lane?

Chang Feng was young, and when he was alone in the main room with Nine Girls, he couldn't help it.Need to control, control, control.

Not to mention being poisoned now!

As soon as Miss Jiu helped him onto the Babu bed, he couldn't help it anymore: "Miss Jiu, don't go. Uh, good sister!"

Nine girls finally succeeded!The two became a good thing on the Babu bed that Cai Zhong had slept on before.

Therefore, when a man goes out, he must protect himself.

An hour later, the medicinal power had dissipated.Chang Feng stared blankly at the tassels on the Babu bed.

Nine girls said: "Brother, from today onwards, I am yours. I will marry you as a concubine. I don't need your betrothal gift. I bring a dowry of 3000 taels."

Chang Feng looked Jiu Niu up and down, and the first thing he said was: "Will Luohong?"

Nine Girls nodded: "Well, Meiluohong."

Chang Feng asked: "Who did you give it to first?"

Nine Girls said truthfully: "The first time I gave it to a policeman from the Ministry of Punishment. The second time I gave it to a squad leader in Daxing County. The third time I gave it to the inspector of Shuntian Prefecture. The fourth time I gave it to the Wucheng Bingma Division." a flag of the

"There are too many behind, I can't remember."

"Don't think I'm unclean. For the people in Xiangxi Lane. I can sacrifice everything, including myself."

Chang Feng stared at Nine Girls' faces.

On the face of Nine Girls, he saw his shadow.

In the capital city, there are countless little people trying to survive.The self three years ago was one of countless little people.

Nine girls and one woman, for the survival of more than 100 ethnic groups.When encountering those difficult officials and family members, they can only bear the burden of humiliation.

At this moment, Chang Feng felt sorry for Nine Girls.

Chang Feng asked: "If I want to take you as a concubine, I must know your name. I don't know your name if I call you nine girls and nine girls all day long."

Nine Girls replied: "My name is Motieba Gani Zhaozhao. Motieba is my surname. Gani Zhaozhao is my first name, which means little bird in Tujia dialect."

"My father wanted me to grow into a little bird singing happily in the tree. But this world forced me to become a female vulture."

Chang Feng asked, "Am I the prey of your vulture?"

Nine Girls replied: "Yes. You are my long-awaited prey."

Five days later, the Chang Mansion set up wine for concubines.

Taking a concubine is not taking a regular wife.But the number of guests who came to concubine wine this time was no less than when Chang Feng married Liu Xiaoyan.It's just that Zhu Youtang didn't come in person.

Liu Ji, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came to congratulate him in person. When he was impeached, Chang Feng helped him.He came to say thank you.

The two ministers, Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng, are Wynn's old friends, and it's because of the old inner minister's face.

The three giants of the Ministry of Rites and Supervisors were all present.Commander Zhu Ji of Jin Yiwei also came.

Needless to say, the robes of Jinyiwei.All above the general flag are in place.

Among the generals in charge of the army, came Ye Guang and Shi Wenyi's eldest brother Shi Wenzhong.

The auspicious time has come, Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan are sitting on the chairs.

Ninth girl fell to her knees.The maid next to him was holding a tea tray.

Nine Girls took a teacup from the tea tray, and offered it to Chang Feng with both hands: "Master, drink tea."

Chang Feng took a sip.

Then Nine Girls picked up another teacup and presented it to Liu Xiaoyan: "Madam, drink tea."

Liu Xiaoyan took a sip, and then said, "Sister, get up."

Fatty Xu shouted: "Li Cheng!"

From this moment on, Nine Girls officially became the concubine of Lord Chang of Jin Yiwei.

Naturally, she would never give up on Xiangxixiang and her clan.

Since then, Brother Dao Shang has changed the title of "Nine Girls" to "Nine Madames".

After the banquet, the high officials and officials gradually dispersed.

Zhu Ji did not leave.Sit at the table and drink.

Chang Feng came over: "Commander."

Zhu Ji said: "Chang Feng. Your concubinage wine is probably more dynamic than the wedding wine of the prince's son."

"There are a bunch of high-ranking officials from Beijing and China. They are very prominent."

"I have a saying, it's fine if you think I'm pouring cold water on you. It doesn't matter if you think I'm admonishing you, it's up to you."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Commander, please speak."

Zhu Ji said: "This sentence is - it is not a good thing for a person to be too prominent. In fact, I did not say this, but the old inner minister said it before."

Chang Feng was taken aback for a moment, then said: "I have been taught."

Zhu Ji got up: "I know the details of your little concubine. You can protect her business from now on. Don't cause trouble."

It is the end of Xu hour.

Chang Feng did not go to Mrs. Ninth's bedroom.Instead, he entered Liu Xiaoyan's bedroom.

Liu Xiaoyan asked: "The bridal chamber flowers and candles, why did you come here?"

Chang Feng lay down on the couch: "I'm afraid you think I like the new and dislike the old. If you have a concubine, you don't want a wife."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Hurry up. Go to her bedroom for me. On the first night of our marriage, I don't want to be hated by her."

"In the future, you will sleep with me for two days and her for one day. Hmph, who made me the wife and she the concubine?"

Chang Fengru received the imperial decree: "Okay. I usually listen to my wife's words the most. Tonight is no exception!"

Liu Xiaoyan laughed and scolded: "Are you just waiting for my words? Get out, get out."
