The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 45 Disaster Plan
The scholar in white had naturally heard of Jin Yiwei's notoriety.

He was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he was escorted back to the Baihu House by Chang Feng and others.

Chang Feng took the horse hanging from the table in the front yard and used it as an inquiry desk.

Chang Feng glared at the white-clothed scholar: "Name? Native place? What career? Why do you fabricate rumors to slander Yan Shenggong?"

The white-clothed scholar replied tremblingly: "Student Liu Yangzheng, a native of Changzhou in Southern Zhili. He has studied for generations. He has a reputation as a scholar."

"The students didn't make up rumors. I, I, I all heard what others said!"

Chang Feng said: "Okay! Listen to who said it. Lead us to arrest people! If you dare not follow, our Jin Yiwei will write a letter and teach politics to Nanzhili. Let the Xuezheng Yamen get rid of your reputation!"

Scholars pay the most attention to fame.Liu Yangzheng honestly led Chang Feng and others to arrest the rumor spreaders on the upper level.

In this way, Chang Feng followed suit, and within three days, more than 100 rumormongers and spreaders were arrested.

After some interrogation, he roughly figured out the context of the rumors.

At the very beginning, someone saw the maid Nian'er getting married, and the Confucian mansion gave a lot of dowry to make the marriage a decent one.

The onlookers at the wedding lamented: "Yan Shenggong is so kind to take this maid, she looks like half a daughter."

This sentence was passed around, and it became known that Yan Shenggong loved Nian'er very much.

It was passed on again, and it was said that Yan Shenggong loved his maid Nian'er very much, and the word "pain" was hidden.

Continue to pass on, and it is said that Yan Shenggong and Nian'er are private.

It was passed on for a few more days, and it was said that Yan Shenggong made Nian'er's belly bigger.Marrying out is for the face of the Confucian government.

In the end, it was reported that Duke Yansheng had raped the maid, causing her to become pregnant.Confucius was furious in the sky and sent a dragon to warn Confucius.

Most of the people who spread this rumor were literati who had finished offering sacrifices to Confucius in Qufu and had not yet left.

Everyone added a little bit of fuel and vinegar, and eventually it became a shocking rumor.

More than 100 literati were imprisoned in the Baihu House of Sacrifice.How to deal with them often made a difficult problem.

Most of these people have fame as scholars, and a few are Juren.

The Baihu Office for Rituals is not the Fusi of Beizhen, and has no power to handle cases, let alone a prison that integrates trial, sentencing, and punishment.

When he was having a headache, Liu Daxia, the prefect of Tai'an, came.

Liu Daxia entered the Hundred Households of the Sacrifice and found Chang Feng.

Liu Daxia said: "Chang Baihu, admonish these people and let them go."

Chang Feng disagreed: "How can that be done? These man-made rumors slander Yan Shenggong!"

Liu Daxia smiled: "Since ancient times, the Qing Dynasty has been self-clearing. Duke Yan Sheng would not care about such outrageous rumors."

"Rumors are like this. Three people become tigers, falsehoods are used to breed falsehoods, one person spreads falsehoods and thousands of people spread the truth."

"There are more than 100 scholars and scholars. It's not a problem for you to keep it like this."

Chang Feng was a little annoyed: "Fortunately, they are still literati who have read poetry and books!"

Liu Daxia smiled slightly: "Chang Baihu, you don't understand literati. Sometimes, literati are no different from gossips. Moreover, rumors made by literati are often more credible."

"Listen to me, let me go."

Chang Feng said: "It's cheap for these bastard literati!"

Liu Daxia gathered more than 100 literati and reprimanded them.Then Chang Feng let them all go.

This little rumor turmoil is over.The Hundred Households of the Sacrificial Ceremony restored the peaceful scene of playing cards and listening to music in the past.

This day, Chang Feng was stroking the tiger in the front yard, watching Fatty Xu, Liu Jin and the others play the horse hanging.

Suddenly, several regiment soldiers ran in.

The mandarin duck battle jackets of these regiment soldiers were covered with dust, and they were panting. It was obvious that they had just traveled a long distance.

Liu Jin knew one of the flags: "Qian Ning, why are you here?"

The little flag named Qian Ning took out a letter: "I have met Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Huai En has a letter, please write to Changbai."

Chang Feng took the letter, entered the hall, and read it carefully after unsealed.

After reading it, often the wind is like five thunders!

Eunuch Wynn was demoted and lost power, and no one will protect me anymore!The prince is also in danger!
In the capital, I ruined the important affairs of the imperial concubine's party.How can the concubine party tolerate me?

When they finish abolishing the establishment, they will free up their hands. With the character of Wan Commander and envoy who must revenge, they will definitely tear me to pieces!

How to do?
Chang Feng sat down on the chair.

He forced himself to calm down and analyzed in his heart: Wynn's official letter was right.Now, only by successfully creating a strange disaster on Mount Tai can the emperor change his mind.

Only in this way can the prince be saved.There is only one way for me to survive!
However, the problem came back again.The only kind of disaster that can be created is fire.

Is it really necessary to burn down the ancient trees of Mount Tai and become a sinner through the ages?

In case the private residences of those Jiangnan gentry at the foot of the mountain are affected, a group of Jiangnan gentry will be burned to death.
Liu Jin walked in: "Chang Baihu, what did the ancestor's letter say?"

Liu Jin is Wynn's great-grandson.In front of outsiders, Wynn is always called "Old Ancestor".

Chang Feng gave the letter to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin was shocked after seeing it: "The emperor actually demoted the old ancestor to Nanjing?"

Chang Feng took a sip of tea and collected himself.

Liu Jin said: "The ancestor urged us to create a strange disaster in the letter. Chang Baihu, what are you going to do?"

Chang Feng remained silent.

Liu Jin showed his ruthless side at the moment: "In order to keep the crown prince, what if we burn all the old trees on Mount Tai?"

"Chang Baihu, don't hesitate! Do it!"

Chang Feng said: "Let me think about it."

Liu Jin was a little anxious: "Often hundreds of households should be cut off, and they will be disrupted! If the prince's position is not guaranteed, you and I will be decapitated sooner or later!"

Chang Feng's mind was in a mess.When the mind is messed up, it is easy to think wildly.

He suddenly remembered the rumor turmoil a few days ago.

Liu Daxia's words echoed in Chang Feng's ears, "Rumors made by literati are often more credible."

Literati, rumors, strange disasters?
Chang Feng's head suddenly gurgled like a boiling kettle!
Have!Have!
At this moment of life and death, Chang Feng came up with a brilliant plan.

He said to Liu Jin: "I figured out how to create a strange disaster!"

Liu Jin said: "Let's go to Mount Tai right now and set fire to it at night?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Wrong, Mr. Liu, what we want to create is not a fire. It's an earthquake!"

Liu Jin frowned: "Earthquake? Chang Baihu, are you joking? You are not a land lord, can you shake mountains and rivers?"

Chang Feng was confident: "Eunuch Liu, I'm not joking. In a few days, we will become the biggest contributors to protecting the crown prince!"

Liu Jin said: "Then tell me, how to make an earthquake?"

Chang Feng smiled mysteriously: "Eunuch Liu, be safe and don't be impatient."

Then he shouted out of the hall: "Fatty, come in."

Fatty Xu walked in.

Chang Feng asked: "There should be gunpowder in the Taishan Guard's arsenal, right?"

Fatty Xu thought for a while, and replied: "There should be. My second uncle's Shenji Baihusuo has more than a dozen Hongwu Iron Cannons."

"There are also a small amount of firecrackers in the thousands of households below. You must store gunpowder."

Chang Feng said: "Let's set off to Taishanwei and find your second uncle!"
