Chapter 26 Pei Lun: This coquettishness is not that coquettishness
Before taking action, Ding Xiu returned to the small courtyard.

Because he suddenly remembered something. In the original plot, Zhao Jingzhong was desperate and escaped to join the Jurchens.

At that time, the opponent's cavalry asked who was the friend General Li Yongfang invited to the Khan.

Zhao Jingzhong looked happy and responded loudly: "Let's compete, Zhao Jingzhong..."

This is Jurchen language, and the general meaning is "I am Zhao Jingzhong."

Although the plot has not reached that point yet, and with Ding Xiu's time travel, the plot has also undergone some subtle changes.

Li Yongfang in Ding Xiu's history was originally a guerrilla general, and was the first border general in the Ming Dynasty to surrender to the Jurchens.

But the Li Yongfang of this world is not that Li Yongfang. He was born in a family of generals. He once served as the general of Liaodong, and later became the minister of the Ministry of War and the prince and tutor. He had a high prestige both in the army and in the court.

Later, due to the frequent recurrence of old injuries, the late emperor showed sympathy and asked him to meditate and cultivate himself at home.

It stands to reason that Li Yongfang's life was considered to be prosperous enough. Even if he was at home, he was still full of friends, and officials from the central and central government and a group of former ministries often came to visit him.

So, what reason did he have to betray Ming Dynasty and secretly seek refuge with Hou Jin?

Ding Xiu is also very strange about this.

So he decided to take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate Li Yongfang to see if he really colluded with the Jurchens and betrayed Ming Dynasty.

"Master, I have something to ask you for help."

As soon as he returned home, Ding Xiu found Ding Baiying and said straight to the point.

Unexpectedly, Ding Baiying didn't even bother to ask and just refused: "I won't help!"

Ding Xiu was speechless: "Master, I haven't said what it is yet."

"Don't think that I don't know anything just because I'm locked up in this courtyard all day long. The border has been uneasy recently and the government and the public are in turmoil. I think you also want to investigate the leak of the border army's deployment."

Hearing this, Ding Xiu gestured with his thumbs sincerely: "As expected of the master, he is perceptive, has a sharp eye, can predict the unknown, and is a powerful woman..."

Ding Baiying said angrily: "Stop it, when did you learn to flatter?"

Ding Xiu smiled "honestly" and said: "Everything I say is true, everything I say is true. There is no one in the world that I can admire except Master You."

Ding Baiying snorted coldly, but her face became much prettier.

"Master, drink tea."

Ding Baiying took a sip of tea and then pretended to be casual: "What problem did you encounter?"

Therefore, it is said that it is applicable to all heavens and all realms.

"Master, it's like this. I want to secretly investigate a person. However, I am now a Jin Yiwei, so there are some things that are not convenient for me to do.

Didn't you remember that Master said that there are still some people under his command?
I wonder if we can find two smarter and more skilled people to secretly sneak into Li Yongfang’s house..."

After hearing the reason, Ding Baiying couldn't help but frowned: "Li Yongfang is the former Minister of the Ministry of War and the Crown Prince Tutor. He has many close friends in the court and the army.

If you go to investigate him, once he notices it, there is no way you can end it with your current status, and your life may be in danger.

Also, how could you suspect him? "

Ding Xiu replied: "It can't be said to be suspicious. Now the Minister of the Ministry of War is under investigation by the court, and Li Yongfang was the previous Minister of the Ministry of War. The disciple feels that it is still necessary to investigate secretly.

If the disciples can catch a big fish this time and destroy the Jurchens' intelligence network, it will be a great achievement, and promotion to [-] households will be just around the corner. "

Ding Baiying pondered for a while, and then couldn't help but ask: "You are determined to climb up, what is your ultimate goal?"

"To be honest, Master, there are two reasons. First, to avenge Uncle Lu and Master; second, the disciple is tired of his career in the world and wants to try a different life and challenge himself."

Ding Baiying sighed: "That's all, there are people, but don't have too much hope.

After all, Li Yongfang is not an ordinary person. There must be many masters in the house. It is not difficult to sneak in, but it is not so easy to get close to him and find out his secrets. "

Ding Xiu looked pleased and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Master. In fact, you don't have to get close to him. You just need to lurk for a while to see who he has met and who is suspicious.

In this way, the disciple can investigate in a roundabout way and find out those people who have secret dealings with him. "

"Well, this method is not bad." After taking care of Ding Baiying, Ding Xiu was in a good mood and went to find Pei Lun all night.

"Li Yongfang? How could Brother Ding doubt him?"

Obviously, Pei Lun was also a little surprised.

"Brother Pei, this is how the case is solved. The more unlikely people and things are, they may be the key clues to solve the case."

"But what reason does Mr. Li have to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"

"So, this is what we want to investigate. Now, Dongchang is investigating, and Jinyiwei is also investigating.

We don't have any advantages, so we have to take a different approach and check things that others don't expect. Once we gain something, it will be a miracle. "

Pei Lun nodded thoughtfully: "Well, that makes sense."

"Brother Pei, do you have any suggestions? For example, check if there is any relationship between Mr. Li, Wei Zhongxian, and Zhao Jingzhong?"

"Brother Ding, there are many people in the court who are related to Wei Zhongxian. As far as I know, Mr. Li often has contacts with Wei Zhongxian. As for Zhao Jingzhong, this is not very clear.

Is it possible that Brother Ding still suspects that Wei Zhongxian, Zhao Jingzhong and the Jurchens are connected? "

"It's hard to say. In short, we are looking for another way now to avoid fighting with others."

"But Brother Ding, if you go in the wrong direction, it's a trivial matter if you can't get any credit. I'm just afraid of making you look embarrassed."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xiu couldn't help but squint at Pei Lun and said, "Isn't Brother Pei coquettish enough?"

Pei Lun's face turned red: "This kind of coquettishness is not that kind of coquettishness."

"Same... Anyway, listen to me, I have an intuition that we are likely to catch a big fish this time.

As long as you catch the big fish, it's easy to get promoted and make a fortune.

At that time, Brother Pei can go find the torturing goblin at any time..."

Sure enough, when he heard this, Pei Lun couldn't help but his eyes brightened: "Hahaha, the one who knows me is Brother Ding!"

"Then start checking quickly."

"Brother Ding, actually Pei has a way now."

"Oh? In what way?"

"Have you ever heard of a ghost market?"

"Ghost market?" Ding Xiu was stunned: "Are you talking about Sichengfang in the East City?"

Ding Xiu had heard people mention the legend about the ghost market several times.

The so-called ghost market is not haunted or anything, but a night market that spontaneously formed in Sichengfang.

Sichengfang was originally a slum area with complex terrain, with large and small alleys criss-crossing the area like a maze.

The people in the square are mixed together from three religions and nine schools, making it difficult for ordinary people to gain a foothold here.

Some fugitives, bandits, and people from the green forest mostly like to gather in Sichengfang. Even if there are officers and soldiers chasing them, they can use the complex terrain to hide or escape.

Since the rise of the ghost market, the square has begun to show abnormal prosperity.

Some people in the green forest often trade illegal goods in the ghost market, and they naturally spend their time living and drinking when they have money.As a result, there were many gambling houses, teahouses, taverns, gourmet bars and other entertainment places in the square.

At the same time, it has also become a centralized place for all kinds of news and intelligence.
