Chapter 187 Writing a Book

Xie Changan expressed his speculation.

Jiang Li asked curiously, "Why didn't he tell the people in the secret door the truth?"

Xie Changan said: "If I tell the truth, will Anmen still dare to accept this order?"

The title of Marquis Jing'an alone is enough to scare them away.

The people in the secret door know their own limitations and if they want to survive in the dark corners, they cannot touch the people in the government.

Kidnapping the woman of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is at most like catching lice on a tiger's head, and it only offends him.

Kidnapping a super-class marquis or an official appointed by the imperial court is a serious crime punishable by death and confiscation of property!

Jiang Li laughed and said, "The Mongols really killed those people at the secret door!"

Yin Er also laughed and said, "The Mongolians have always been untrustworthy. Doing their black market business is like courting death. The secret door deserves it!"

How dare you accept such an order from an enemy country? Aren't you seeking death?

Xie Changan's face showed a fierce look: "Wait for me to send a letter back to the capital, asking my foster father to unite with the Jinyiwei to encircle and eliminate the people in the secret door together!"

Jiang Li smiled slyly: "No hurry, wait until I finish robbing people."

Xie Changan asked: "Who do you want to rob?"

Yin Er was also very surprised. All the people in the secret door were not presentable and could not even recognize a few words. What use did Marquis Jing'an have for them?

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Beggars' Sect."

The Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the secret door. Where in this world are there no beggars?

If the secret door controls the Beggars' Sect, it is equivalent to having spies all over the world.

Xie Changan's eyes lit up: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Keep it secret for now. Second Brother Yin, ask Prefect Zhou to find a few people for me."

She wants to find some writers who can write books.

Yin Er went to do it in confusion.

Zhou Zhitu immediately found several talented local writers from the bookstore and sent them to the inn.

He also hinted to them that the person who wanted to employ them was a highly sought-after noble in the capital, and that as long as they performed well, they would have a bright future.

Several scholars came to see the nobleman with great enthusiasm.

A clear and pleasant female voice came from behind the screen: "I would like to ask you to write a book."

Several people were shocked. This popular noble in the capital was actually a young woman?

They were in a hurry. There were many merchants traveling to and from Hangzhou Prefecture, and it only took a few days for news from the capital to reach here.

They had of course heard about the shocking story of a female marquis emerging from the Great Chu.

Could the person behind the screen be the female marquis?

Several scholars were so excited that they bowed to the ground and said, "We will obey your orders!"

Jiang Li then told the general idea of ​​the story.

In the previous dynasty, the Beggars' Sect once produced a great hero named Chang Aotian.

He has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, is a kind-hearted and righteous person, and is respected by both the black and white martial arts world.

When Chang Aotian was young, the Mongolian Tartars invaded the Central Plains, captured his family of five and turned them into slaves.

His parents, brothers and sisters were tortured to death one after another. Fortunately, Chang Aotian was rescued by a beggar, returned to the Central Plains, and joined the Beggars' Gang.

Chang Aotian studied martial arts diligently, vowing to drive away the Tartars, avenge his family, and defend his country and home.

He stood out in the Beggars' Sect and became the new leader. Whenever he saw injustice, he would secretly help the needy, kill the evil and punish the treacherous, and enjoyed a very high reputation in the martial arts world.

When the Mongols invaded again, he led the Beggars' Gang to fight against foreign enemies, defend the Central Plains, and save countless displaced people.

Finally, in the Battle of Datong, he died together with the Tartar generals and died heroically.

"Although the hero Chang is no longer with us, his bravery and righteousness will live on forever."

"Back then, under the leadership of the hero Chang, the Beggars' Sect was so glorious and heroic. But now it has fallen to the level of bandits and con men!"

"For ill-gotten gains, they secretly traded with the Mongolian Tartars and killed their own people! Don't you feel ashamed?"

The story moved several scholars so much that they could not help but ask, "Excuse me, sir, was there really such a great hero in the previous dynasty? With his bravery and chivalry, he deserves to be recorded in history!"

Jiang Li Gege laughed and said, "I made it up. You can just write it according to this meaning."

"After the book is completed, it will be handed over to the prefect. Longmen Bookstore will then publish the book and arrange for all bookstores and opera troupes in Da Chu to follow up with full force."

"The day the book is completed will be the day for you to become famous in the Chu State. Please make sure to give it your all!"

Several scholars were overjoyed, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "We will do our best to live up to your trust!"

After they left, Xie Changan said with a smile, "Are you trying to divide and alienate the secret door?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "That's right. The Beggars' Sect is not a particularly evil gang, so we can still fight for it."

"If I can separate them from the secret door and use them for my own purposes, all these spies in the world will be mine, hahahaha..."

She laughed triumphantly.

If this book were published by Longmen Bookstore, it would naturally become popular in the world.

If storytellers were allowed to preach the book in major teahouses and taverns, and major opera troupes were allowed to rehearse the play, the name of the heroic and chivalrous "Hero Chang of the Beggar Gang" would spread throughout the Chu in a short period of time.

The Beggars' Sect's influence is growing rapidly, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the leader of the Dark Gate.

When there is a rift between the Beggars' Sect and the Secret Door, they can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in and win over the Beggars' Sect!

Xie Changan couldn't help but secretly admire him. Using the power of public opinion to disintegrate the opponent's camp without bloodshed, this move was really brilliant!

"My wife has so many clever ideas that I am ashamed to be inferior to her."

He asked again, "Do we still need the cooperation of the Wulin Alliance?"

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes. After all the bookstores and opera troupes follow up with all their strength, let the Wulin Alliance extend an olive branch to the Beggars' Sect. After the Beggars' Sect breaks with the Dark Gate, absorb them into the Wulin Alliance."

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

She thought about it, and wrote letters to Qiao Xiaoyue, Li Chen and others whom she had just met, telling them her plan in detail and asking them to do a few things.

Xie Changan smiled slightly. See, once you get on her boat, you'll be at her mercy.

It won’t be long before these young heroes will be like Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang, being controlled by her in circles!

Secret Door Headquarters.

In the dim room, the aroma of medicine lingered. Behind the heavy curtains, a man could be vaguely seen leaning on the couch, coughing from time to time.

The subordinates kneeling outside the curtain reported to him tremblingly that the Secret Gate had lost a group of brothers in Hangzhou Prefecture, and even the stronghold in Hangzhou Prefecture had been captured.

"A bunch of trash!"

The man behind the curtain began to cough violently.

He slowed down and snorted, "You didn't even know the details of your target, but you believed the Mongols and acted rashly. You deserve to be caught!"

The subordinate asked: "Master, don't you need to send brothers to rescue them?"

The man behind the curtain was none other than the elusive leader of the secret door.

The leader of the Dark Gate sneered, "Who should we send? Why don't you ask who the woman of Jinyiwei Commander Xie Changan is? Is she someone we can mess with?"

The subordinate asked, "Who is it?"

A cup flew out from behind the curtain and hit the subordinate on the head. A stream of blood flowed, but he didn't dare to wipe it.

"That's Marquis Jing'an! The only female marquis in the Great Chu!"
