The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 22 The secret of fetching objects from a distance
Chang Feng's next words were a little heartless.

He said to the old cripple: "Old man. You are a resounding hard bone, a copper pea."

"However, the child you adopted is still young, and the bones have not grown yet."

"If I use the tiger bench method on him, I'm afraid that only two bricks are needed, and he will become a disabled person who can't walk in his life."

The old cripple yelled, "Bastard!"

Fatty Xu looked at Chang Feng with a look of fear.The best friend of three years, now so cold-blooded that he feels strange.

In fact, Chang Feng was just threatening.He wouldn't really hurt that kid.

If he did this, how would he be any different from his fellow beasts in Beizhen Fusi whom he despises?
He was betting that the little boy was to the old cripple what Tang Tang was to him.

Chang Feng put on a relaxed expression, as if he was talking about a kitten and puppy instead of a real child.

He smiled and said, "Old man. In addition to blood relationship, there is family affection in the world. Sometimes, family affection is stronger than blood relationship."

"Although that little baby has no blood relationship with you, there is family affection."

"If you don't say it, it's actually fine. I killed you and crippled his legs. He would have saved himself from being chopped up by the beggar gang."

"Going to the street to beg for food, I don't know how many kind-hearted people will give him money."

Beggar gangs like to abduct some poor children and break their hands and feet, so as to win the sympathy of passers-by and ask for money.This is called "harvesting and cutting".

After Chang Feng finished speaking, he was disgusted by the shamelessness and cold-bloodedness in his words.

The old cripple who was piled on the tiger bench with four bricks was not subdued, his psychological defense was completely defeated.

Adopted son is his life.It is the only meaning of his existence in the world.

He is over 60 years old.It stands to reason that in the snitch business, this age should have given up.

But to save more money for his adopted son, he decided to save enough 2000 taels of silver before retiring.After retiring, he took his adopted son to Ji'an, Jiangxi.

Because Jiangxi Ji'an is three thousand miles away from the capital, no one there knows him.

And he heard that Ji'an is the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.Ouyang Xiu was born in the Song Dynasty, and Xie Jin was born in this dynasty.

Although the old cripple was illiterate all his life, he admired scholars.

After he retires, he intends to use money to support his adopted son to study in Ji'an and become a different person from him.
However, he has already saved 800 taels of silver, and he only needs one more vote to retire.But it fell into the hands of Chang Feng.

In order to adopt his son, he decided to go against his conscience.Confess the secret of the Miaoshoumen.

Chang Feng was right.In this world, kinship is sometimes stronger than blood.

Emperor Jing is Yingzong's younger brother.The younger brother is not the same as imprisoning the elder brother in Nangong for eight years?
Although the old cripple has no blood relationship with his adopted son, he is willing to betray his life-long loyalty for his adopted son.

The old cripple first scolded Chang Feng: "Straight mother!" Then he said: "If you want to ask anything, just ask."

Chang Feng asked: "Did someone from Miaoshou Sect go to the criminal official Cai Zhong's residence tonight and stole a letter box in front of Jin Yiwei?"

The old cripple said: "I don't know. Although there are only 36 disciples in the Miaoshou Sect, they don't know each other. Only the head of the sect knows the identities of the disciples."

"Also, only the head of the sect can give orders to the disciples to do things alone. If the disciples do things privately, according to the rules of the sect, they will be killed."

Chang Feng nodded: "It is said that Miaoshoumen can fetch things from a distance. How did it do it? Don't talk about raising little ghosts to fool people."

The old cripple said: "It's simple. It's the thing hanging around your waist."

Chang Feng was surprised: "Crossbow?"

The old lame nodded slightly.

Fatty Xu said from the side: "Who are you coaxing? This thing can fetch things from the air?"

The old cripple explained: "The crossbow of Miaoshoumen is called Kongkong crossbow."

"It's different from ordinary crossbows. There are barbs on the crossbow arrows, and there is a fishing reel on the side of the crossbow, which is connected to the mechanism box. The fishing line is tied with crossbow arrows."

"For example, to steal a letter box. Just shoot the crossbow bolt, the crossbow shot into the box, the barb hooks the box. The trap box will retract the fishing line."

"It seems that the letter box disappeared out of thin air. In fact, it was caught by the empty crossbow like fishing."

Chang Feng was stunned: "How fast the wire is drawn, and how delicate the mechanism box is!"

The old cripple said: "The Kongkong crossbow was first made by our ancestor Lu Ban. It is naturally exquisite. It is said that he used the Kongkong crossbow to steal the soldier talisman of the king of Chu."

From ancient times to the present, in the interrogation of prisoners, before the psychological defense line is breached, the prisoners will grit their teeth and not say a word.

Once the psychological defense line is breached, the prisoner will not only confess his crimes, but will even tell about the melons he stole from the Wang family and the needles he took from the Li family when he was a child.

The old cripple is in this state now.If you have already confessed, you have nothing to hide, and you know everything.

Chang Feng said: "That's good. Originally, my third question was to ask where the letter box is."

"Since you didn't participate in this matter, you naturally don't know the answer. Let me ask another question—who is the head of the Miaoshoumen?"

The old cripple said just now that only the head of the sect can give orders to the disciples alone.That head must know where the letter box is.

The old cripple was stunned and remained silent.

Chang Feng said something worse than before: "Actually, it would be a pity to have that baby's leg crippled. It would be a good choice to cut it off and send it to the palace as a little eunuch."

The eyes of the old cripple can kill people at this moment: "You! Beast!"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "The old man is right. The paintings on the civil official robes of Daming are birds, and the paintings on military official robes are beasts."

"Those of us who are officials are like beasts in clothes."

"It's really easy for a beast in clothes to torture a little boy."

The old cripple said something in a low voice.Chang Feng, who had a low voice, couldn't hear clearly at all.

Chang Feng asked: "What did you say, old man?"

The old cripple said with a dying breath: "Our master is Yihonglou, Sai Tanghong."

Chang Feng was surprised: "Your head belongs to Yihonglou?"

Fatty Xu slapped his head beside him: "My God! It turned out to be her! Master Chang, you even met her tonight!"

Chang Feng asked: "Who is it?"

Fatty Xu said: "It's the goblin who sang "Zhang Sheng's Trouble at the Fifth Watch" in the hall!"

Chang Feng cupped his hands towards the old cripple: "Old man, I offended you tonight. I will ask your shopkeeper to untie the rope for you after dawn."

"There are more than a dozen taels of silver on the counter. Think of it as our compensation for your soup and medicine."

"Your leg is just a broken bone. Let the bone setter fix it, and you will be able to get out of bed after a hundred days of care. It can't be broken, but you won't be a snitch in the future."

"Not being a snitch is not necessarily a bad thing for you and your adopted son!"

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu left the Qingsong coffin shop.

It was two hours and a quarter to three before dawn.

After two hours and three quarters, Ruo still hasn't found the letter box.Those who wait for Changfeng will be doomed.

The two lead the tiger, go out of Fulu Street, and go straight to Yihonglou.

On the way, Chang Feng asked Fatty Xu a question: "Is Sai Tanghong a performer instead of her body?"

Fatty Xu's answer baffled Chang Feng: "Purchasing art and prostitution. But she only picks up strong men. She said she was afraid that her body would not be able to withstand it, so Feng died on her couch immediately."

Chang Feng is strange.Miaoshoumen is so famous in the capital, the female head is definitely not a person who is short of money.

Why did she commit herself to Yihonglou, to be a scumbag who rides thousands of people?
