Zhu Youcheng returned to the Fushi Department of Xizhen and played with the token given to him by Xu Guangqi - a wooden sign. Xu Guangqi's hometown is Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and the land where potatoes and sweet potatoes are naturally there. He said that with this wooden sign, he could take away all the potatoes and sweet potatoes at home. But who should I send?

Zhu Youcheng's first thought was Wei Liangqing, the captain of the guards, but he had been sent to the Jiangxi Administrative Office to find the great scientist Song Yingxing. The second choice was himself, but he was responsible for the position of the Shiye of the two major academies, the Ming Administrative Academy and the Ming Military Academy. It is not suitable to leave Beijing for a long time and cannot be taken personally. As for the thousand households under his command, although it is reassuring, they all have important positions, responsible for managing and training soldiers, and they cannot leave. Alas, they are really a pity that they are afraid of when they are used.

As he was feeling, he heard a knock on the door. The knocking sound was very soft, and the visitor seemed a little hesitant. He put down the wooden sign and asked the visitor to enter.

The person entering the door looked unusually ugly, and always had a flattering smile on his face. Zhu Youcheng recognized that it was the one who was quite beautiful and blessed.

"Sir, I...I want to withdraw from the Jinyiwei."

"Oh, are you timid? I remember that every time you face a galloping horse, you can stay calm and not run away. You should be a brave man, why did you suddenly want to leave? And your son should be five years old now. What would he think if you quit the Jinyiwei?"

"Sir, you know that I am not a timid person to ask for the ball for so many years, otherwise I would not kneel at the door of the adults for a day and night and ask to join the Jinyiwei. However, for so many years of training, my martial arts has not been able to improve, and every time I compete with others, I always lose. Originally, I wanted to add a toad to add some strength. Although my martial arts skills are not as good as others, I can always help adults on the battlefield. However, in recent times, the training of Jinyiwei is about how soldiers cooperate with each other and fight. I sadly discovered that my skills are not as good as those of the enemy. Killing by the enemy is small, but the failure in my corner may cause the defeat of the entire team. So, after thinking about it, I decided to withdraw from the Jinyiwei."

Qiuqiu looked vulgar, but his eyes were sincere and firm at this time. Zhu Youcheng looked at it for a long time and finally believed his words from the heart.

"It is okay to withdraw from the Jinyiwei, but the imperial village in the west of Jingxi will not support idle people. Your housing in the imperial village will have to be cleared. Also, if you don't have an income, can you afford to support a small family?"

Qiuqiu showed a hesitant expression on his face and hesitated, "I have hands, but I can't find anything to do. It's just that my wife and children are pitiful, and I want to live a wandering life with me."

As he said that, he pounded his head with his hands and said in pain: "I really hate myself. Why can't I learn martial arts well?"

Perhaps thinking of the miserable scene after leaving the imperial village, I shed tears in my eyes and burst into tears.

Zhu Youcheng stood up and paced back and forth for a few steps, feeling a little bit of admiration and sympathy for him. Qiuqiu was originally a gangster, shameless and selfish. After several years of study, and after giving birth, he had a sense of responsibility, he gradually embarked on the right path. Now he has a sense of overall situation. In order not to drag the Jinyiwei down, he would rather lose his job and live a displaced life again.

However, Zhu Youcheng was puzzled at once when he could place the ball.

Suddenly, he thought that Qiuqiu was a gangster. He had learned to talk to people and talk to ghosts. It was the most suitable for talking about business and being an undercover agent. Jinyiwei really lacked such talent.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youcheng asked, "Are you afraid of death?"

The beg ball wiped his tears and said, "I am not afraid of death. Do I dare to stand in front of the galloping horse without moving or shaking?"

"It's good if you're not afraid of death. There are soldiers in the Jinyiwei who go to the battlefield to fight; there are soldiers who go through walls to check the people's situation; there are soldiers who lurk in the enemy camp, deal with the enemy, and steal intelligence. If you are really not afraid of death, you just want to retreat because your skills are not as good as others, then I advise you not to withdraw from the Jinyiwei and consider joining other departments. However, this officer warns you that the danger coefficient of other departments is greater than that of going to the battlefield. You might as well think carefully and see if you want to join."

Qiuqiu said without hesitation: "Mr. Zhu, I am willing!"

"Once you enter a secret department, you will not be allowed to withdraw for the rest of your life. You may be spoiled by others; you may be misunderstood by your loved ones; you may see brothers and sisters die in front of you; you may be more likely to be tortured by the enemy... But no matter what, you cannot betray, and you cannot confess to the enemy. Can you do all this?"

He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, opened his eyes, and said firmly: "You can do it if you ask for the ball."

"Okay, from today on, you can join the Jinyiwei Intelligence House. However, so far, you are the only one in this household, and I am the direct leader."

After saying that, Zhu Youcheng reached out to the neck of the ball, untied a bronze medal with his name engraved, and placed it in a locked drawer.

He asked for the ball and said, "Didn't Lord Zhu tell me not to withdraw from the Jinyiwei? Why did you take away my name brand?"

"You are going to wear this brand to tell the enemy, hey, I'm a fine work sent by the Jinyiwei. You can tell me all the secrets quickly."

I suddenly realized the ball and smiled awkwardly.

Zhu Youcheng picked up the wooden sign on the table, handed it to the ball, and said, "Now, I will give you the first task. Take this wooden sign and go to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, find the old house of Lord Xu Guangqi and Xu, and pack all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in his house back to the imperial village of Jingxi. Uh, maybe his name is different at home, called potatoes and sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes. No matter what they call it, those things are amazing treasures anyway, you must bring them all back."

Then they discussed the route. They originally ran to the world, and were familiar with the path, so they proposed to take the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. From Songjiang Prefecture to Wuxi, then take a boat from Wuxi to Tongzhou, and then transfer to the imperial village of Jingxi. This is not only fast, but also safe. After all, the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou is a canal transport channel, and with officers and soldiers, they will not encounter bandits.

Zhu Youcheng happily agreed and asked him to go to Wang Chengen to pay a hundred silver dollars and set off immediately.

Time flies, Zhu Youcheng calculates that he should come back in the next few days to ask for the ball.

Early that morning, King Xin hurried out and said he wanted to see if Mr. Song had arrived. He borrowed this space and Zhu Youcheng was going to convene thousands of households to hold a meeting and study where to go for actual combat. After all, the combat power of an army that has not been tempered with iron blood will not be much stronger than the militia.

Before the thousand households came, they came first, but he did not come back with a carriage that transported potatoes and sweet potatoes, but instead fled back in a panic with injuries.

“Where are potatoes and sweet potatoes?”

"I was robbed by bandits."

Zhu Youcheng was furious and said angrily: "What? Even this little thing can't be done well, so what's the use of me keeping you?"

He begged the ball repeatedly and told the story.

It turned out that on the way, he encountered no trouble in asking for the ball. He took away potatoes and sweet potatoes from Xujiazhuang, but he did not encounter any obstacles. However, the good luck disappeared when he arrived at the Cangzhou section of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and something happened to the boat he was on.

That night, when I was waiting for ten boxes of sweet potatoes and five boxes of potatoes, I suddenly heard a shout of killing outside the cabin and shook the sky. Someone shouted, "The Japanese pirates are coming."

When I was begging for the ball, I wanted to fight to the death, but looking out from the crack of the door, the opponent was full of people, and I thought that instead of relying on temporary courage and making unnecessary sacrifices, it would be better to leave a useful body and investigate the information of the robbers for Lord Zhu. Or the Japanese pirates found that there were only some inconspicuous agricultural products in the box and would not waste their energy to move them away. Then, when the Japanese pirates retreat, they might be able to bring these treasures in Lord Zhu's eyes back to the imperial village in Jingxi.

Please open the porthole and turn over and jump into the water.

Guaiqian is a northerner. Guaiqian is not good at water, but Guaiqian has been poor since childhood and likes to gambling. He dives and runs away after losing gambling. After a while, he has developed a good water kung fu. Guaiqian is next to the boat and swims all the way. However, these Japanese pirates are even alert and do not open the boxes on the boat and count their belongings. Instead, they move all the boxes away.

Zhu Youcheng slapped the table hard and said, "The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou is not connected to the sea, and there are canal soldiers guarding it. Where did the Japanese pirates come from? They are just bandits pretending to be."

"Mr. Zhu is such a genius and he guessed it well. The young man lost his goods, so how could he give up? He followed him all the way and almost discovered them several times. Fortunately, God blessed him, and the young man was lucky. Finally, he followed them into the mountain without any danger and found their nest."

It turns out that although this group of bandits appeared in Cangzhou, Shandong, they were not locals. Just think about it, Wei Zhongxian was from Cangzhou, so how could he let local officials in Cangzhou pay bribes? Therefore, although the years are not good, Cangzhou's prices are stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

He listened carefully to the conversation between those people, and his words were mixed with a strong northwest accent. He immediately judged that these people were committing crimes. He probably saw ships shuttled back and forth on the canal, and his business was prosperous. He became ill-minded and pretended to be Japanese pirates to rebel while the officers and soldiers of the canal were unprepared.

He asked for the fair: "The little one stayed in the bandit's nest for two days. He heard that the name of their leader was very strange. He was called "Not Mud, and I don't know what it means."

"Not to get stuck in mud," Zhu Youcheng was moved in a panic and thought to himself, "that was one of the famous anti-kings in the late Ming Dynasty. But the time and place were not right. He was in the first year of Chongzhen, two years later, and according to his memory, he never reached Shandong in his life. Why did he jump out in the fifth year of the Tianqi period and appear in the relatively wealthy Shandong region? Originally, he thought that the civil unrest in Shaanxi would not have started again, because in his own time and space, although Shaanxi had been drought for five years, the coal mines and road construction teams absorbed a large amount of surplus rural labor, and the people did not suffer much guilt, and it was unlikely that the people would resurrect the misfortune in the late Ming Dynasty. Since the foundation for civil unrest was gone, the rebels should have washed and slept. Why are they still starting to connect now?"

Zhu Youcheng stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and said, "Please ask for the ball, although you are not good at escorting goods, finding the bandit's nest is a great achievement. This time, if you have committed merits and demerits, you will not be punished again."

"Hmph," Zhu Youcheng sneered in his heart, "If you want to fight, I will fight. Since you provoke me, I will definitely not let you go. Besides, your so-called non-muddy and social instability is still a factor of social instability. To be eliminated is a great merit."
