Regarding the rumors between Ao Bai and Bumbutai, at the beginning, it was indeed Daming who was behind the scenes.
That’s right!
Of course, Zhu Hongyu did not expect that such a little rumor could bring down Ao Bai, one of the four ministers of the Qing Dynasty.
But it doesn't matter, originally he just wanted to disgust the Qing court!
But later, in order not to be discovered by the Qing court, he was closely implicated in the spies arranged by Jin Yiwei in the capital, a hidden line.
Daming has stopped!
The main force spreading this rumor became my disciples of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
In later generations, I, a descendant of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, was unable to do anything, and the old tradition of being the best in talking heads began at this time.
To say that they were not loyal to the Qing Dynasty is nonsense.
They are a nation, and anyone may be disloyal to the Manchus, but they will not.
But being loyal to the Qing Dynasty does not conflict with gossip, right?
…
Listening to the conversation of several servants in the stable, Obai's figure kept trembling, as if he was out of breath, and as if he was frightened from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, Obai's face became fierce, and he raised his foot and kicked him.
With a loud bang, the door of the stable was kicked open by Obai, and the two door panels flew out and hit the wall heavily.
As the door was kicked open, the conversation of several servants came to an abrupt end.
One after another looked towards the door, and the furious figure of Obai came into their eyes.
Obai looked around, and several servants trembled under his intense gaze.
However, Obai did not directly kill anyone in a rage, but instead pressed the sharp knife in his hand to the chest of one of the servants.
His eyes bulged and he shouted loudly.
"What are you talking about?!"
Several servants knelt on the ground, their faces full of horror, and they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"I'm waiting for nonsense!"
"I'm waiting for nonsense!"
"Master, please show mercy and spare my life!"
"..."
Obai's face turned dark and he shouted loudly.
"Tell me, where did you hear such nonsense?"
However, several people were so frightened by Obai that they could not speak, and they just kowtowed and begged for mercy.
With a pop, the blade flashed and a human head was thrown away.
Blood sprays!
Obai killed one person, his eyes filled with blazing murderous intent, he stared at the remaining people and continued to ask.
"explain!"
"Where did you hear the rumors?"
"Speak quickly, if you don't tell the truth, everyone will die!"
"..."
When those people saw someone being killed on the spot by the furious Obai, they felt even more frightened.
Looking at the bodies lying on the ground, some people were so frightened that they peed on the spot, and a large pool of water stains appeared on the ground.
It smells bad!
Finally, someone couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure from Obai and spoke tremblingly.
"Master...Master, we also heard from outside..."
This man poured beans out of a bamboo tube and explained everything clearly, including various versions of rumors.
Listening to this servant's explanation, especially after hearing the news that the rumors had spread throughout the capital, Obai's old face became increasingly gloomy and dark.
The hand holding the knife is shaking slightly!
With a dark face, Obai ordered to the guards behind him.
"Someone is coming!"
"Drag these dog slaves out and beat them to death in front of everyone in the house!"
Several servants kept struggling and begging for mercy, but Obai was unmoved at all.
Bang bang! Bang!
The sound of the stick hitting the flesh was very obvious.
At the beginning, the screams of these servants were very shrill, but as time passed, the screams became weaker and weaker.
Until the end, the only sound left in the field was the sound of sticks hitting human bodies.
Beat him with dozens or hundreds of sticks!
Several servants have long since ceased to exist.
The blood smeared out and flowed freely on the ground, filling the air.
Broken bones and flesh, internal organs beaten into rotten flesh, and even an eyeball rolled out of its socket...
The smell of blood is tangy!
Obai watched several servants being killed with sticks throughout the whole process, but the expression on his face was still uneasy.
Not only is there anger, there is also a hint of fear!
Thinking that those rumors had spread throughout the capital, his heart felt cold.
Ao Bai had the idea of entering the palace to apologize to the Empress Dowager!
But this idea just appeared before he killed it himself.
Now there are rumors in the capital that Aobai and Bumbutai are having an affair. If he enters the palace at this time, it will be really unclear.
Immediately, Obai thought of it.
Since this news has spread so widely, throughout the entire capital, there is absolutely no way that the Empress Dowager has not heard of it.
But the Empress Dowager did not summon him to meet with him to discuss how to resolve the matter.
This matter clearly shows that the Empress Dowager is avoiding suspicion!
It would be the stupidest thing for him, Obai, to ask for an audience at this time.
When Bumbutai sees him, he will probably be said to be an old lover reminiscing about the past.
And if Bumbutai doesn't see him, he will definitely be rumored to be two adulterers and adulterers with a guilty conscience...
What the hell...
No solution!
Only now did Obai realize how powerful rumors were.
It's like a knife that kills people without showing blood!
…
Dong Nuan Pavilion!
Bumubutai was sitting on a big chair, and the old lady's old face was full of sinister looks.
When she thought of the rumors about her and Obai that had spread in the capital recently, she became so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
Originally, according to custom, she was going to summon Oboi to discuss the matter.
However, after thinking about those rumors, Bumbutai gave up his thoughts.
When he turned around, he summoned Hong Chengchou.
Now, the Qing government's southward army is still in preparation, so naturally Hong Chengchou has not left Beijing.
Of course, the reason why it is still under preparation is not that the Qing government is not interested in the war in the south, but because war is something that cannot be rushed.
Hundreds of thousands of people marched south, not to mention the time it took to gather the troops.
Just preparing food and fodder will take at least half a year!
There are more than 200,000 troops alone. In addition to these 200,000 people, there are also war horses, pack horses, and civilians who number more than 200,000.
Half a year is relatively fast!
If preparations are too hasty, the overturn of the Ming Dynasty God of War Tumu Fort is a lesson learned from the past.
An army of 500,000 people marched north into the desert. The God of War only spent half a month preparing food and supplies before heading north.
All I can say is that he is truly brave!
The reason why everything can be done in half a year is thanks to the fact that the Qing Dynasty is still in the early stages of its founding, the whole dynasty is still somewhat energetic, and the administrative efficiency is not low.
If this was done at the end of the dynasty, it would be impossible to prepare the food and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of people without a year or two.
When Bumbutai encounters this kind of thing, he definitely can't go to Obai, and it would be a bit embarrassing to go to Bumbutai, the fourth minister of Gu Ming.
These rumors about crotch stuff are really disgusting!
After much thought, she thought of discussing with Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou was smart enough and once had a relationship with her.
Is the most suitable candidate!
Looking at Hong Chengchou who was kneeling down and kowtowing in greeting, Bumbutai's original dissatisfaction due to Hong Chengchou's inappropriate gesture gradually dissipated.
During this period, Hong Chengchou dragged his body around for the southern expedition and worked tirelessly.
Bumbutai also saw it in his eyes, and his originally angry mood gradually dissipated.
This is how people are, emotions will explode the moment something happens.
But as time goes by, no matter how intense the mood swings are, they will be smoothed over by time and become gentle without any ripples.
