Chapter 403: I can't live up to it, and I don't dare to live up to it
This is Li Changqi's third time this year to come to Kouzi Fort.
Unlike the previous two times, this time he took the initiative to come.
Since he reported that the Sihai Commercial Bank colluded with the Oirats, he knew that his identity could not be hidden. At least, Shanxi would clearly know his identity.
The people from the Qianhu Institute of the Jinyiwei of Shanxi, did not disappoint him, and the reaction was quite fast. He even went to the prison of the government office the next day to look at him. Although he was not alone, when he saw a large number of Jinyiwei walking in from the prison of the government office, he knew that the people from the Qianhu Institute of Shanxi, he had received his news.
And his hidden name seems to have made sense over the years.
However, he was not optimistic about his future. If what he reported was true, then he had been involved in a huge case. No matter what the ending of the case will be, a small person like him is destined to not have a good ending.
Xu Bai was once the governor of the Jinyiwei Nanya, and later promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei. In the Jinyiwei, he was very powerful. The biggest possibility that he would have disappeared without a trace on one night, just like there was never a person like Li Changqi in this world.
Xu Bai may be worried about this, but revenge on him is easy.
Therefore, even though he was recognized by the governor, he still did not report to the Jinyiwei. What he was worried about was this time. When the governor asked him to lead the governor's personal soldiers to the outside of Kouzibao to verify his words, he encountered a large group of Oirat cavalry. With so many people in his group, he escaped safely. He knew that he could not stay at the governor.
Even if the governor was wise and treated him politely, the lives of those who were thrown outside Kouzi Fort would probably be counted on him by the governor's personal soldiers. If it weren't for him, these people would not have died there.
He was in a dilemma.
At this moment, the furious governor arrested Xu Bai directly to the government jail. He suddenly felt much more relaxed. As long as Xu Bai was brought down, he would naturally have his place in the Jinyiwei. In this way, he would not have to worry about it.
Unfortunately, before he could finish it easily, things suddenly changed again.
Chen Qianhu, the Qianhu, from the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office in Shanxi, actually forced Xu Bai out of the prison of the government office. Although he used the name of "arrespondents", it was just a name. In Li Changqi's opinion, there was not much difference in this prison robbery.
As soon as others left the government jail, the Jinyiwei's troops immediately left Datong City, which was obviously worried that the governor would turn against each other.
Li Changqi admired Chen Qianhu's courage. Such a person has become Qianhu. With this reckless personality, being a hundred-household family is considered to be a ancestral smoke. If he can survive until now, at least there are gods and Buddhas in the sky who are blessing him. However, even though he admires him, it would be fine if Chen Qianhu took the people away with a group of Jinyiwei, but he even took him with him. What's the matter?
Is this Xu Bai going to settle the score after autumn? Anyway, the person from the Qianhu Institute of Jinyiwei in Shanxi is definitely Xu Bai's lackey.
He said he was going to Taiyuan, but the team left Datong Mansion, took a turn and changed direction directly. When he saw the familiar Kouzi Fort appearing in front of him again, Li Changqi became more and more sure that Xu Bai would definitely not have any kindness to come here.
This guy is a turtle who eats weights and is determined to collude with the Oirats.
The colleagues of the Jinyiwei of Shanxi were very polite to him, but also very alienated. He could feel that he could even be said to be in this team. No matter whether he eats, drinks, or even makes it convenient, at least two Jinyiwei people followed him. What does this mean? What he knew in his heart.
However, he didn't believe that there was no chance to escape. At least, he had to tell the defenders of this Kouzi Fort to make him more vigilant. In this way, when the Oirats attacked, the defenders here would be prepared and would die less. If they were lucky, they could still defend here.
"Mr. Qianhu is back!"
Seeing Chen Qianhu walking past him, he said to his brothers beside him: "The defenders of this Kunzi Fort are just a guerrilla general, and they are really worth a lot of face. They actually asked our Qianhu to see him in person!"
"The guerrilla general is nothing!" The brother beside him smiled: "If we get here, if the head of the guerrilla general is really here, then he has to worry that he will not work if he speaks here!"
"Isn't it?" Li Changqi asked strangely: "I've been here a few days ago!"
"The guard here is now the eldest son of Zhangwu Bo, Yang Qian!" The brother looked at him: "We thousands of families must give this face, otherwise, if someone orders come to us, we brothers will come under the banner of serving in front of the army. If we really want us to leave the city to fight against the Tartars, will we not be able to live?"
"Will there really be Tartars attacking?" Li Changqi's heart sternly shook.
"This is not accurate!" The brother of the Jinyiwei looked at the direction of the inner room: "General Yang sent his sons here, and our Qianjia and Lord Xu also rushed here. It would be normal for something to happen. If nothing happened, what are you here to do? Are you eating flower wine?"
Li Changqi nodded deeply: "It seems that something really is going to happen here!"
"By the way, Li Baihu!" The brother of the Jinyiwei looked at him: "It's all his brothers. If you have any words, you must not make it difficult for your brothers to do. Everyone serves the court, but no one wants to leave his life in this broken place!"
"Of course not!" Li Changqi agreed to the other party with a smile: "I know the priorities of some things, brother, but I'm afraid that those people in the room will not know much!"
"You said Lord Xu and our Qianhu?" The brothers of the Jinyiwei changed slightly: "I dare not talk nonsense. We are from Qianhu, and we know who we Qianhu are. If we really encounter Tartars, we Qianhu will definitely lead our brothers to fight to the death!"
"What about Lord Xu?" Li Changqi sneered: "Why was he invited to the government jail by the governor? Didn't Lord Qianhu tell you?"
"You don't know anything, you will know in the future!" The brother of the Jinyiwei looked at him straight and sighed: "Forget it, stop talking, someone is out inside!"
"My gentlemen!" A guy with a greasy and graceful look on the clothes of the Jinyiwei walked out of the inner room: "That is Lord Li Changqi and Lord Li, let Lord Xu invite them in and talk!"
"I'm calling you!" The brother beside him looked at Li Changqi: "Li Baihu, if you offend our Qianhu, you can also go to the capital and other Qianhu. If you offend Lord Xu, by the way, do you have any acquaintances with the Oirat people? If you have any, you can consider joining them!"
"Get out!" Li Changqi glared at the guy: "I don't collude with the Oirat people, so where are there any acquaintances in the Oirat!"
In the room, Xu Bai and Chen Tang were talking.
"If even Yang Xin sent Yang Qian here to strengthen his defense, it means that in his heart, this Kouzi Fort is also the target of the Oirats. Lord Xu, we only have a small amount of people here. Isn't it a bit too much for us to stay here?"
"I really want to see what the Oirats look like!" Xu Bai smiled: "Han Yong doesn't know how to arrange the Ma market this year. He will definitely not dare to cancel the cancellation, but the hasty is definitely a bit hasty. The Oirats will definitely not buy it. There will be no problem before the Ma market begins. However, after the Ma market ends, it is hard to say how the Oirats are like!"
"It's been a few days!" Chen Tang turned his finger and said, "Sir, do you still insist on the statement that we are here to avoid the limelight?"
"I don't have to say anything about it. It depends on Governor Han and the Oirats... Oh, people are here!"
Xu Bai raised his head and saw Li Changqi whom Jiang Daya led in, "Shopkeeper Li, do you still know me? I still remember the Linjiazhuang that day!"
"Mr. Li didn't know that Mr. Xu was in front of him that day, so he offended him!" Li Changqi stood up with his head down, "Mr. Xu no longer serves in my Jinyiwei. I will not be able to give him a greeting!"
"Li Baihu!" Chen Tang frowned and couldn't help but scold him.
"Chen Qianhu, Beizhi is a secret detective directly under the Northern Fufu Department, not Lord Xu's servant!" Li Changqi bowed to Chen Tanggong: "Forgive Chen Qianhu!"
"It's okay!" Xu Bai waved his hand and said to Chen Tang: "I'll talk to Li Baihu. You can go out and settle your brothers. By the way, this Jiang Daya is smart. You can use him when dealing with Yang Qian!"
"Okay, please give me some instructions if you have something to do!" Chen Tang nodded and retreated from the room. Xu Bai waved his hand. Except for the two guards, the others in the room also retreated.
"I heard about the Oirat people you encountered last time!" Xu Bai looked at him and signaled him to sit down: "You can come back alive, which means you are lucky. Since you are lucky, why have you been in Datong for so many years and have no effect? I don't think you, the secret detective of the Beizhen Fushi, did not do much!"
"What does it mean to have a good job?" Li Changqi glanced at Xu Bai without any fear: "Isn't it considered a good job to report to the Sihai Business Company from the capital with real evidence to the Governor Datong and the Qianhu Office of the Jinyiwei of Shanxi?"
"This is really not counting!" Xu Bai shook his head: "Since you are a secret detective directly under the Northern Fushi Department, I believe you know that you will definitely not be the only secret detective of the Jinyiwei!"
"Of course, my Jinyiwei's ability to collect information is the best in the world!" Li Changqi said proudly: "Of course, the credit of our secret detectives is indispensable!"
"So, there is no such thing as the Sihai Chamber of Commerce colluding with the Oirats!" Xu Bai spread his hands: "Just Xu has been working as a secret detective in Datong Prefecture. Didn't the Jinyiwei let anyone go to the Oirats? What you see is real, but I'm afraid that it may not be real! Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes may not be real, let alone you add your own guesses!"
Li Changqi's expression slacked slightly.
"Look, you can't be sure if you have any secret detective colleagues on the grassland!" Xu Bai waved his hand: "You don't think that there are so many adults in the Jinyiwei, they are all wine bags, and you can't even imagine the fact that you send spies to the enemy country!"
"But no matter what, I, the Ming Dynasty, will not transport the armies to the Oirats!" Li Changqi said sternly: "Even if there is a secret detective who really asks the Ming Dynasty to do this, then this person must have been rebelled and no longer care about the Ming Dynasty. He must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has personally seen this person that day, that is, the current Emperor!" Xu Bai glanced at him and said lightly: "What do you mean is that the Jinyiwei, from top to bottom, from the emperor to the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, are all blind and fools, and can't even see such a simple thing, and then they are played with by a traitor in the middle of applause?"
"this……?"
The cold sweat dripped from Li Changqi's forehead. He suddenly thought that if even the senior officials of the Jinyiwei and even the emperor knew about it, then his report would be a good intention to do something bad.
Moreover, the big thing was ruined, which not only put Xu Bai, who might be responsible for the matter in front of him, but also put that great-skilled colleague in secret investigation into danger.
"You thought of it!" Xu Bai patted his shoulder: "It is indeed possible, isn't it?"
"How can I be sure that what you are saying now is true, not lying to me!" Li Changqi's voice obviously lowered.
"Lie to you?" Xu Bai smiled strangely: "You mean, I have said that I have done this kind of thing to lie to you. Sorry, who is Li Changqi? Why do I, Xu Bai, lie to you, and what do you want from you?"
"I……!"
"You take yourself too seriously!" Xu Bai snorted: "I feel your loyalty to the court and the courage to take responsibility. Therefore, even if you ruined things and even caused me so much trouble, I did not take your anger on you. After all, this is your responsibility, but I don't like this self-righteous problem. Don't talk about lying to you. I really want to deal with you, no matter whether you are in the Jinyiwei or not, no matter where you hide, you will kill you!"
Xu Bai sighed: "It doesn't mean to say so much to you. It's because I have seen many people like you, but no matter which one, as long as I, Xu Bai, are lucky enough to meet you, I will not let you down the heart of serving the country. Especially your secret detective, who abandons your wife and children and hides his name, in order to achieve the greatest use at some point in the future. You have paid too much!"
