Chapter 189 Double Agent
Chapter 189 Double-faced spy
I don’t know what unclean things I had eaten, but Chen Zhian suddenly got up his stomach these days. For seven or eight days, his whole body seemed to be completely exhausted. Digestion was originally a minor illness, so I could recover after taking some medicine and resting for a few days. But strangely, Chen Zhian stopped his diarrhea after taking medicine for a few days, but it seemed that he had another strange disease. The diarrhea was cured, but he was weak and mentally yawning all day long, just like his meridians were broken.
For this reason, Chen Zhian's family looked for doctors and asked for medicine everywhere. I don't know how many famous doctors they found but had no effect. At this time, one of his family suggested to try it out for a famous doctor from the "Zhengrentang" in Liaodong City. Chen Zhian was dying and rushed to Liaodong City for treatment overnight.
The treatment effect was very satisfactory. The famous doctor gave him whole body acupuncture and took him a secret medicine for several days. The disease was cured. Chen Zhi returned to Jinshanwei with peace of mind, but a few days later, his illness fell again and had to go to Liaodong City again.
In the secret room of Zhengrentang, Chen Zhian was wearing only a pair of shorts and lay on a bench. His body was covered with golden needles. Next to him, the famous doctor Gao Shidezheng arranged the secret medicine "Gaoshi Zhengqi Pills". The medicine was actually configured. It was a green paste-like body, which emitted a strange fragrance. Gao Shide cut a small piece of the plaster in front of Chen Zhian and then rolled it into pills the size of soybeans.
"Doctor Gao, how is this medicine configured?" Chen Zhian turned his head and looked at the small pill on the table greedily.
Gao Shide smiled faintly but did not answer him. Chen Zhian sighed. He understood Dr. Gao's silence, how could he easily show his secret recipes, but this medicine is too important to him. Even if he doesn't tell him the formula, at least give him a few more pills. Unlike now, he can only take it at the pharmacy, how can he do it?
"Mr. Chen, this medicine is a secret recipe for Tubo. It was passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors hundreds of years ago. To be honest, I don't even have the prescription. I just remember it in my heart and passed it on orally from generation to generation. This is the rule of ancestors. The medicine cannot be given to patients. This is to prevent other doctors from getting it and cracking my formula. I'm sorry!"
Gao Shide walked forward, pulled out the golden needle one by one, and then knocked on his back for a while, then said, "The meridians have been opened, and you can take medicine."
Chen Zhian sat up, staring at the pills on the table hungryly. If he hadn't been worried that Dr. Gao would not give it to him in the future, he would have snatched it. The thought of dying for this medicine made it difficult for him to control himself.
Gao Shide brought him a glass of water and gave him fifteen pills. Chen Zhian counted it for a while and asked curiously: "Doctor Gao, I remember taking ten pills last time, why did it turn into fifteen pills this time?"
"There is no way. My Gaoshi Zhengqi Pill usually takes once every three days, but the adults only come after half a month. The stagnation accumulated too much, so they could only increase the dosage, which made the adults pay."
Chen Zhian took the medicine in a panic. After a while, he felt a sense of comfort as light as a swallow, as if every pore on his body had opened. He pressed his chest and breathed a long sigh, then begged: "Doctor Gao, money is not a problem. The key is that you have to give me more. It is not appropriate for me to see a doctor. You don't know the pain when you are sick, the feeling of wanting to die. Doctor Gao, I beg you to give me more, and I will definitely not reveal your secret."
Chen Zhian bowed and begged again, and Gao Shide looked puzzled, "How can this be done? I dare not break the rules left by the ancestors!"
Chen Zhian was anxious. He knelt down with his hands and asked Gao Shide: "Doctor Gao, I beg you. You can cure my illness. I will set you up a tablet of immortality for you."
"Oh!" Gao Shide sighed and nodded, "I dare not break the rules of my ancestors, but I can go to Lushun Port to practice medicine for the sake of Lord Chen, so that Lord Chen can come to me at any time."
Chen Zhian was so grateful that he cried bitterly, "Thank you Dr. Gao! Thank you Dr. Gao!"
Gao Shide helped him up and said with a smile: "Actually, my shopkeeper was rescued by the Ming army in Goryeo. He was very grateful to the army, so he decided to open a branch pharmacy at Lushun Port and treat the soldiers. He originally asked Dr. Han to go there, but I stayed in Liaodong City. Now there is a special situation like Lord Chen. I can discuss with the shopkeeper that I will go to Lushun Port."
"When will Dr. Gao go?"
Gao Shide pondered for a while and said, "I want to discuss it, probably the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for Dr. Gao in Liaodong City and let's set off together."
As soon as Chen Zhian left, Sun Ji's figure flashed into the quiet room, "How is it, how much is he dependent on poppy paste?"
Poppy paste is the name of Li Weizheng. Poppy flowed into China from the Western Regions as early as the middle and late Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was only used in a small amount of drugs. Because of the small output, there were not many addictions in the consumption. In the early Ming Dynasty, only scattered plantings in Sichuan and other places did not begin to flood. Therefore, there are very few people in the Dusi area of Liaodong. Li Weizheng's opium was brought by Chen Wanli from Luzon. It had no effect at all. Later, it was planned to be used to control the King of Liao Zhu Zhi, but Zhu Yuanzhang divided the Dusi of Liao into two. The King of Liao dealt with Mongolia and Li Weizheng dealt with Goryeo and Jurchens. In this way, the powers of the two were separated. It can be said that the well water does not violate the river water, and there is no need to use opium to control the King of Liao. However, Chen Zhian was a secret stake that Zhu Yuanzhang inserted in Liaodong. If he couldn't kill him, the best way was to control him, so opium became the most effective weapon.
The specific executor was Sun Ji. He first bribed a family member at Chen Zhian's home and gave a laxative to Chen Zhian's diet. When Chen Zhian took medicine to treat diarrhea, opium was quietly added to the medicine, which made Chen Zhian gradually become addicted. The dosage was not large at the beginning, because he was afraid that other doctors would see that when Chen Zhian decided to only look for Gao Shide, the dosage was increased, so Chen Zhian began to become addicted.
Gao Shide was first a famous doctor in the capital. He knew the consequences of eating more opium. He was a doctor. He felt professional ashamed of doing this kind of thing. He hesitated for a moment and lowered his head and said, "Now he is 60% addiction. If you take it three times, you will be 80% addiction. At that time, even if you ask him to sell his children, he will not hesitate."
"Okay!" Sun Ji nodded. This was the effect he wanted. He thought about it and asked again: "Did you tell him that I want to open a branch in Lushun Port?"
"He knelt down and begged me to go."
Sun Ji smiled, "Is this the only sixty years old addiction? Okay, let's set off on time the day after tomorrow."
Things were much faster than expected. I waited in Liaodong City for two days and spent another five days on the way to Lushun. Seven days passed. When I arrived at Jinshanwei, Chen Zhian was already 90% addicted. He always believed that he was sick, and only the secret medicines passed down by famous doctors could control the condition. After all, this was a matter of one first and one last.
At noon that day, there were waves of beast-like howlings in the quiet room of the pharmacy that Sun Ji had just bought. Chen Zhian rolled on the ground, tearing his clothes around with his hands. He suddenly jumped up, foamed at the mouth, and hit the wall with his head. His drug addiction broke out and he completely lost his mind. In front of a small window next to the quiet room, Sun Ji looked at Chen Zhian in the room with his hands behind his back. He was waiting, waiting for the best opportunity. Next to him, Gao Shide was frightened. He wanted to speak several times, but when he saw Sun Ji's gloomy face, he had to swallow the words of pleading back into his stomach.
Sun Ji glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "I know that he can't die. You just need to tell me that when he is the weakest."
"Yes!" Gao Shide lowered his head and sighed in his heart.
After a while, Chen Zhian fell down exhausted, his chest was undulating violently, and he was breathing heavily in his mouth, and Gao Shid looked at it and said, "It's the time for him to be the weakest."
Sun Ji nodded, took the medicine bottle from the table, pushed the door and went in. He walked to Chen Zhian and squatted down, staring at him without saying a word. Chen Zhian glanced at him weakly and asked hoarsely, "Who are you?"
Sun Ji poured out ten pills from the medicine bottle, held them in his palm and said, "Do you want it?"
The green pills shone with a strange light under the light. Chen Zhian's eyes suddenly widened. He seemed to have seen a bone for ten days, and a stare flashed in his eyes. He jumped up and rushed towards the pill. However, Sun Ji stopped and pinched the pill behind him. Chen Zhian had no dignity anymore. He knelt at Sun Ji's feet like a dog, and a whine sounded in his throat.
"It's okay if you want it. Tell me first. The emperor has installed a few hidden stakes in Liaodong. Who else is there except you?"
Chen Zhian did not have any surprise or resistance. He said without reservation as if he was hypnotized: "I obey the orders of the Jinyiwei and issue a report every half month to monitor General Li's words and deeds. I don't know if there is anything else."
When Sun Ji knew that he was telling the truth, he ordered: "Let your mouth open!"
Chen Zhian immediately opened his mouth wide. At this moment, even if Sun Ji gave him poison, he would swallow it without hesitation. Sun Ji slapped his hand and slapped the pill into his mouth. Chen Zhian swallowed it. After a while, his face that was swollen into pig liver color slowly returned to normal. The drug addiction was relieved, but Chen Zhian did not get furious because the drug addiction was relieved. He was completely conquered. He sat on the ground, lowered his head and said without saying a word. Sun Ji sneered: "As long as you are obedient, I will give you an antidote at any time, and I will not hide it from you. This antidote is my own configuration, and even Doctor Gao doesn't know its prescription."
"Yes!" Chen Zhian said dejectedly.
"Okay, I will send the letter with you in the future. As for what you write, don't worry about it."
Three hours later, Sun Ji appeared on Li Weizheng's big ship again. He came on a small boat and was very hidden. No one would follow him on the sea. Sun Ji climbed onto the big ship.
At this moment, Li Wei was reading the reply letter from Zhu Yunwen to him in the cabin. He regularly reported his duties to Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Yunwen did not have the obligation to reply to him. This letter was exceptional. Zhu Yunwen revealed two news to him in the letter, one was that the emperor was very good at approving the immigration to Liaodong, and the other news was that in March next year, the emperor was preparing to summon vassal kings from all over the country and ordered them to bring 3,000 troops into Zhongdu, preparing to perform troops in Fengyang.
The previous news was as expected by Li Weizheng. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not give up any inch of land on the continent. In the past, the conditions were immature, so he could not establish rule in the Jurchen area. Now that Goryeo completely surrendered, the conditions for governing the Jurchen area were ripe. Zhu Yuanzhang must immigrate. This is his usual method, immigrate first and then build an official government.
But Li Weizheng was attracted by the second news. What does the kings perform in a great military service? Li Weizheng suddenly had a vague premonition. This great military service may have a little relationship with the Lan Yu case. Didn’t the Lan Yu case happen in the 26th year of Hongwu?
"Report to Master, Sun Ji is looking for a meeting outside." The personal soldiers' report interrupted Li Weizheng's thoughts.
Li Weizheng temporarily put down his mind and immediately ordered: "Let him come in."
After a moment, Sun Ji walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Report to my master, I have everything done, he is completely controlled by his subordinates."
"You did a good job, and I couldn't even see it." Li Wei nodded with praise. He sent someone to observe Chen Zhian. When the drug addiction did not occur, he was exactly the same as ordinary people. Moreover, Gao Shide specially gave him a pill that could delay the attack of drug addiction, so that he could ensure that he rushed to the pharmacy before the drug addiction attack.
"Thank you for your praise, sir." Sun Ji hesitated and said again: "But I still have one worry."
"you say!"
"I am worried that the Jinyiwei is not the only one who is secretly in Liaodong."
"Yeah!" Li Wei nodded. Sun Ji's concerns were very reasonable. If Zhu Yuanzhang really had more than just a secret stance, he would be done with just a little action. The key is to look at how much Zhu Yuanzhang attaches to him. If he didn't pay much attention to it, it was entirely possible to arrange only one surveillance person, but if Zhu Yuanzhang valued himself, he would never have arranged only one surveillance person.
Li Wei was lowered and thought about it, and then said to Sun Ji: "If you want to know how many hidden stakes there are, you must try it. For example, I went to Tieling Guard on a certain day of a certain month, but Chen Zhian's report said that I went to Jianzhou Guard. If the Jinyiwei did not respond, then I would test it regularly. If there was no response in both tests, it would mean that Chen Zhian was the only one hidden stake."
Li Weizheng was born in the Jinyiwei. He knew very well the strict internal control system of the Jinyiwei. The reports should be rewritten and copied and cross-checked one by one. Especially the reports to the emperor, there should be no mistakes. Therefore, if the Jinyiwei arranged two secret stakes or other departments to install someone, and the content of the report is inconsistent, the Jinyiwei would definitely send a letter to question the reasons for the difference.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Chen Zhian is on duty on the first day of the first day of the first day, and the other is on duty on the fifteenth day of the second day. In this way, the contents of the two people's reports may be different, and the Jinyiwei will not see the difference, so it is safe to test it from time to time.
Seeing that the Lord was considerate, Sun Ji admired him and immediately said, "I understand, let's make arrangements."
"Go! Report it to me immediately if you have any news."
A month later, the test results came out. There was no problem with the Jinyiwei. Then at least 90% sure that Li Weizheng only had a secret stance by Chen Zhian.
