After having breakfast with the girls, I asked my servants to arrange a sedan chair to go to Wu Yingxiong's house.
Along the way, I was thinking about how to ask for Wenlu from Wu Yingxiong. I thought that Wenlu was stunningly beautiful. It should not be an easy task. Fortunately, I still have Wu Yingxiong’s case in my hands. I am not afraid that he will be dishonest. I fantasized about Wenlu in my heart.
The exposed appearance made me feel itchy and unbearable, and urged the bearer to move quickly.
Not long after we arrived at the place, the servant came in with my name card. In less than half a cup of tea, Wu Yingxiong ran out all the way, opened the sedan curtain, and helped me out of the sedan. I had a laugh with him, and we
Enter the house.
When we arrived at the hall, the servants served tea, and Wu Yingxiong asked: "My lord, I am here today. What do you want to teach me?" I laughed and said, "What's the matter? Can't I come if you have nothing to do?" Wu Yingxiong was busy.
He said: "Your Excellency, you can come here at any time, but your sudden visit without informing me in advance really frightened me." I said, "Come on, we have a good relationship with each other, so why should you be so polite to me? I am here today.
If you have nothing to do, come here and pay you a visit."
Although Wu Yingxiong was happy, he would never believe my words. He stayed with me carefully and chatted every now and then. Seeing that after sitting there for a long time, I still hadn’t found a chance to mention Wenlu’s matter to him, and I felt in my heart
I couldn't help but feel anxious, and if I couldn't help it, I said: "I really like those Persian women the prince gave me the other day, but I don't know where the prince got them from?"
Wu Yingxiong did not expect that I would ask this. He was startled for a moment and said: "It is my honor to be liked by you. Your Excellency Haojiao learned that these women were purchased from Persia by someone sent by my superior to travel thousands of miles away."
, according to the report from the official in charge of procurement, when they went there, there were no such women in the area. After a lot of trouble, they could not buy a few. It happened that the Safavid dynasty, oh, what we call Persia, happened.
During the riot, the Safavid king asked for the help of the English and used muskets and artillery to suppress the riot. He captured tens of thousands of thugs and beheaded all the men among them. Many of the women among them were used as slaves in the market.
The superiors were selling the goods. The subordinates wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to buy in large quantities. Unexpectedly, according to the local custom, women must be veiled, so they could not see their faces clearly and could not make a selection. In the end, they had no choice but to bribe with gold.
The local officials selected more than 300 good-looking ones and brought them back."
I was shocked after hearing this and said: "Three hundred people, so much has been bought." Wu Yingxiong said: "Although I bought a lot, we slept and ate in the wild along the way. Some ran away and some died. When we return to Yunnan, we will just
There are less than 200 left. If some of the women don’t know some kung fu, I’m afraid more people will die.” I wondered: “Are many of them here good at kung fu?” Wu Yingxiong nodded and said, “They may have learned it.
According to the servants, the Persian martial arts are unique and different from those in the Central Plains. Fortunately, the subordinates sent by Xiaguan were not weak in martial arts and did not let them escape. Otherwise, they could have brought back a hundred people from Yunnan.
, it’s pretty good.”
I thought to myself, it seems that Wenjuan is not the only one who knows martial arts. Although these women are not weak in martial arts, they are still far behind the masters in Wu Sangui's house. I don't know if these twenty women were sent to me.
There are a few people here who know kung fu. If they escape, I really can't do anything to them.
And this little turtle is really nothing. He brought back 200 beauties, but only gave me 20 of them. It was too stingy. I will get this Wenlu first, and when I have the opportunity to go to Yunnan, I will leave him alone.
I'll get all the ones I laid down, and then I'll be blessed forever.
After listening to Wu Yingxiong's explanation of the origins of these women, I asked: "This time when Brother Wu came to Beijing, apart from the twenty women he gave to me, did he bring any extra? I want to discuss something with him again.
Two, keep them to give away." Wu Yingxiong was startled for a moment, and said: "I really deserve to be lowered, so don't be too busy this time. I only brought twenty Persian women and gave them to you. The rest have not been trained yet.
If I had stayed in Yunnan, if I had known that the Lord liked me, I would have brought them all with me this time."
When I heard that he refused to tell the truth, I couldn't help but frown and said: "Brother Wu, I know you may also have some difficulties. I have already accepted so much from you, and I shouldn't ask you for anything more. It's just... The Emperor is...
He is young and vigorous, but he is busy with state affairs all day long. As ministers, we should try our best to share his worries. If you still have some, you might as well give them to me and I will give them to the emperor, so that our master can relax.
, the master is happy, and your contribution is also part of this."
Wu Yingxiong was very tempted, with a happy face. Seeing something going on, I stared at him closely, hoping that he would hand over the dew quickly. As long as I got the dew, I would pick a virgin from the garden and hand it over to him.
Your Majesty, if you play the trick of trading a civet cat for a prince, I'm sorry even Wu Yingxiong can't figure it out.
Wu Yingxiong hesitated for a while, but finally he lowered his face, made a look of pity, and said: "My lord, this idea is really for the emperor's wholehearted consideration, but I really can't find anyone in my hands, so why not do this?"
, I will send someone back now, change the horse without changing the person, and bring the person to you in the shortest possible time."
Seeing that he still refused to surrender, I couldn't help but change my face and said, "I can't wait any longer. The emperor sent me out to Beijing on business, and I may not be able to come back in a year and a half. If you feel that, you can just give it to the emperor."
If you send a beautiful woman and the officials won't help you, then it's not impossible for you to do it yourself."
Wu Yingxiong was startled and asked: "Your Excellency, are you going to leave the capital?" I realized that I had slipped my words and quickly said: "Since the death of Wu Liangfu, there has been no progress in the case of assassins entering the palace. The emperor ordered me to come.
The rebels of the Saburo Society are being pursued in various places. Brother, I want to clear the Pingxi Palace as soon as possible, so I have no choice but to make a trip." Wu Yingxiong said: "My lord has been working for the Wu family. I am really grateful to you. I don't know what the reason is.
Where should we go to investigate?”
Seeing that he was refusing to hand over the person, I was quite dissatisfied and said: "It doesn't matter where we go to investigate. What is important is to catch the real culprit so that we can find out the mastermind behind this matter. Your Majesty."
We also attach great importance to this case." Wu Yingxiong said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we must find out the mastermind."
Seeing that he still didn't spit, I couldn't help but said: "I will leave the capital tomorrow. Prince, please think again and see if there are one or two Persian dancers who have been exposed. I can hand them over to the emperor today and save the time to leave tomorrow."
No matter how much I want to help you, I can’t find the energy to help you.” Wu Yingxiong began to sweat on his forehead and pretended to be thinking hard. I felt angry and stopped following him in circles and asked directly: “I heard
People say that there is a dancer named Wen Lu in your mansion, why can’t the prince remember her?”
Wu Yingxiong's face was flustered for a while, but then he regained his composure and said, "I'll ask my subordinates later. It's really possible that I've forgotten it. If there really is a woman named Wen Lu in our house, tomorrow morning, I'll ask my subordinates
The official will send it to your lord." I saw that he finally opened his mouth, and I was very happy and said: "That is the best, you can just send it directly to the garden you gave me. Prince, your loyalty to the emperor,
I know that. When I see the emperor tomorrow, I have to tell him carefully how you are loyal to the emperor."
Wu Yingxiong didn't seem to have much reaction to my words, and seemed to be uneasy. I was secretly amused. Seeing that I had achieved my goal, I stood up and left.
After leaving the Wu Mansion, I felt that everything had been done and there was nothing left to do. I was just waiting for Wu Yingxiong to deliver the beauty early tomorrow morning, and then I could go on my way after having a good time. I had to tell Wen Juan about this news first.
That's good.
After getting on the sedan chair, he ordered the bearer to go to the new garden. Thinking about Wu Yingxiong's bearish behavior along the way, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. If this guy had handed over the person obediently earlier, the marriage would have been over. He still insisted on waiting until tomorrow to be exposed.
What should I be afraid of if I lie? I really want to lose face. Sooner or later I will suffer a big loss. But I have to be careful and don’t let this guy play any tricks again. He is just a woman. Although he is a bit prettier, Wu Yingxiong is different from me.
The purpose of my coming here is for money and beautiful women. Apart from these two things, everything else is secondary. And he, Wu Yingxiong, is a man who does big things. How could he fall out with me because of a woman? I even brought the emperor out.
, he still refuses to give in. Could it be that Wenjuan lied to me? Besides being beautiful, does Wenlu have any other important functions? Otherwise, with Wu Yingxiong’s personality, how could he be so indifferent.
As I was thinking wildly, I couldn't help but think of the girls in the house. I wonder if they can get along with each other peacefully. Although Xiaolian is a bit petty, she is still a very good person and has a kind temper. With Rong'er and Mu Jianping,
There will be no problem getting along with them, but Fang Yi is a little bitch, and Xiao Lian and the others together are no match for her, and they will most likely suffer from her. The only one who can deal with her at the moment is Yu Qing
That girl, if she can take Yuqing home, the world will basically be in chaos, haha. By the way, I haven’t told Yuqing about my departure from Beijing yet. If she can’t see me for several months, she will have to
I don't know how anxious I will be when I hear the news. Anyway, there is nothing to do at the moment, so why not go to the palace first and have some affection with that girl Yuqing, which can be regarded as saying goodbye.
Thinking of this, I asked the bearer to change the route and went straight to the Forbidden City.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I got off the sedan and asked the bearers to wait. I entered the palace alone and walked straight to Cining Palace. I was a little worried about running into Jianning, so I kept looking around. Finally, I arrived at the residence of the Queen Mother.
I didn’t see a single eunuch in Cining Palace. I wanted to find someone to call Yuqing for me, but now I had no choice but to walk over quietly to the room where Yuqing lived. I called Yuqing a few times, but
No one agreed. It seems that Yuqing has gone out. Since I am here, I have to see her before leaving. While she is not here at this moment, it is good to take advantage of the Queen Mother first——

, I’ll give it a try today. If it really works, then I don’t have to worry about everyone’s pockets and just write.)
