When Li Lu called "cousin husband" again, Wu Shigong immediately stopped Li Lu's disgusting slurring sound.
Now, as long as you are an individual, you can tell that Li Lu has asked Wu Shigong for something. However, Wu Shigong still wants Li Lu to explain clearly first: has he become Li Lu's cousin-in-law at this time?
But Li Lu pointed his fingers at Wu Shigong, and Wu Shigong was surprised to find that he was indeed Li Lu's cousin-in-law. Li Lu was a relative of the British Duke. And Wu Shigong's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was the British Duke's biological sister.
.
So in the end, Wu Shigong's young wife Xue Yufei is Li Lu's cousin. Although this cousin is no longer three thousand miles away, but thirty thousand miles away. However, you can't say that Xue Yufei is not Li Lu's cousin.
It goes without saying that Wu Shigong is Li Lu's cousin-in-law.
Wu Shigong sighed very much: In this noble family, with such entangled relatives, no one knows when an inexplicable relative will pop up.
Now that he knew that he was indeed related to Li Lu, Wu Shigong had no choice but to ask Li Lu angrily. What on earth did Li Lu have to trouble him?
When Li Lu hesitantly expressed his thoughts, Wu Shigong suddenly realized: "It turns out that in the Ming Dynasty, the heads of robbers and rioters could be exchanged for military honors and silver rewards from the court." Wu Shigong suddenly felt that his intestines were filled with tears.
I felt somewhat regretful that I had given up the heads of the forty-odd robbers to old man Zhao Ming in vain.
But there was no place to buy the regret medicine. However, the heads in front of him could not be let go. So Wu Shigong wanted to refuse Li Lu's request.
However, just as he was about to speak, another question came to his mind: "After Wu Shigong gets his head now, his military merits will definitely be handed over to the Ministry of War, and finally will be handed over to Emperor Chongzhen."
"If Emperor Chongzhen passed by carelessly, then forget it. But if Emperor Chongzhen gets interested and asks who Wu Shigong is? That's a big problem."
"If Emperor Chongzhen knows that Wu Shigong is the son-in-law of Xue Lian, the backbone of the Wei Party; if Emperor Chongzhen knows that although Wu Shigong is just an agent for thousands of households and does not have many troops in his hands, he still has some troops; if Emperor Chongzhen knows that Wu Shigong is still very powerful
What will he do when he is brave and warlike?"
"There is no doubt that Emperor Chongzhen will definitely promote Wu Shigong, then transfer him back to the capital, place him in a false position to support him, and keep Wu Shigong under close guard."
So, if Wu Shigong wanted these heads in exchange for military honors, it would be a complete heist. Could it be that Wu Shigong had spent so much effort to get out of the capital and worked hard for more than half a year in Guide, a thousand households, that he would get such a result?
Of?
In this process, Wu Shigong sent heavy gifts to Emperor Chongzhen. The eunuchs Wang Chengen and Qin Eunuch, who were close to Emperor Chongzhen, would never help Wu Shigong explain and conceal. At that time, Wu Shigong sent heavy gifts to the two of them, and his request was also
The purpose of asking them not to mention themselves in front of Emperor Chongzhen is to prevent this situation from happening.
Therefore, the current Wu Shigong must not be able to claim military merit. At least, he cannot claim major credit. However, it is not good to give these heads to Li Lu for free. Wu Shigong suddenly had an idea.
Wu Shigong said to Li Lu: "Since we are relatives, it is easy to talk about something. Brothers can give these heads to you, but it is also very hard for brothers to raise soldiers."
When Li Lu heard Wu Shigong's words, he was immediately overjoyed. It was still the old saying: a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Li Lu quickly said: "My cousin has worked hard to raise soldiers. As a cousin, of course I have to be considerate. How about I send you eight hundred taels of silver immediately after I go back this time?" Seeing Wu Shigong's silence, Li Lu asked
He immediately added: "Then one thousand taels."
"make a deal."
Li Lu smiled happily when he heard that the agreement had been reached. At this moment, Wu Shigong said to Li Lu again: "Li Shoubei, brother, I have one more thing to advise you."
"You say, you say." Li Lu replied quickly.
"Then when you see a decent woman from now on, could you please tighten your belt? This has happened twice already. Every time, I am the one who comes to wipe your ass."
After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Li Lu looked embarrassed and could only nodded.
Shumo was originally a lively person, and he also had an inquiring character. He had already found out the real reason why Li Lu fled to this county from Li Lu's soldiers. Of course, Shumo had also told all this long ago.
Tell the young master who gave it to him.
After knowing this, Wu Shigong and others analyzed the reasons why the Holy Spirit would attack this county. Of course Wu Shigong and others did not know that the Holy Spirit would attack Guide because the defense of Guide Prefecture was empty.
Wu Shigong and others thought that the most likely reason why the Holy Spirit would attack this county was that the good family Li Lu played with must be the wife of a leader of the Holy Spirit Society. That's why the Holy Spirit Society followed Li Lu so relentlessly.
Escape route to attack this county. Of course, when Wu Shigong and others analyzed it, they must have avoided Li Lu.
That's why Wu Shigong said such rude words to Li Lu just now.
Wu Shigong didn't know that in Li Lu's mind, the reasons he analyzed were exactly the same as those analyzed by Wu Shigong and others.
At this time, the soldiers and strong men on the city wall suddenly let out another deafening cheer. It turned out that the Qi County Magistrate had learned that Wu Shigong and the others had repelled the first attack of the mob, and led the gentry in the county to carry wine and meat.
My condolences to the warriors defending the city.
But Wu Shigong was confused by the sudden cheers. At this moment, County Magistrate Na Qi came to Wu Shigong and Li Lu.
Magistrate Qi stroked his beard, happily saluted Wu Shigong and Li Lu, and said: "Congratulations to the two generals on their victory. My wife has also personally come to congratulate you strong men."
Following the gaze of Magistrate Qi, Wu Shigong saw a veiled woman under the city wall, with a slim figure and a graceful look towards Wu Shigong and Li Luyifu. Then, the maid next to her came to Wu Shigong with a tray.
In front of Li Lu and Li Lu, there were two small wine cups filled with wine on the tray.
Wu Shigong returned the favor to Mrs. Qi, then picked up a small wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the small wine cup, he then greeted Mrs. Qi and County Magistrate Qi with a smile.
At this moment, Wu Shigong spotted Li Lu holding a small wine cup from the corner of his eye, staring blankly at Mrs. Qi. Wu Shigong was surprised to find: Li Lu's eyes were straight again!?
Wu Shigong immediately kicked Li Lu unceremoniously on the butt. Li Lu reacted immediately, blushed, and drank the wine in a hurry.
Wu Shigong shouted to Li Lu: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and send people to the city wall to cut off the heads!"
Li Lu quickly arranged for the people on the city wall to hold ropes and tie his dozen soldiers to the city wall to cut off their heads.
Magistrate Qi watched all this with great interest. He was not concerned about how the heads of Wu Shigong and Li Lu were distributed.
At this time, the role of the nobles and the lowly is reflected. As long as the county is defended, no matter whether County Magistrate Qi played a role or did not contribute in the process of guarding the county, in the end, Magistrate Qi, the county seat
The biggest civil servant in the country must be the first meritorious official.
Magistrate Qi was still thinking: "If I can secure the county seat this time and I have merit, then my promotion to the prefecture will be almost certain."
Wu Shigong and Li Lu were lying on the crenellations of the city wall, watching the soldiers below the city beheading them. Suddenly, a soldier shouted to the city wall: "Sir, there is still a living person here."
Wu Shigong and Li Lu looked at each other, and Wu Shigong immediately ordered: "Tie a rope on the living man and pull him up." It would be good if we could learn something about the situation of the rioters from this living man's mouth.
After a lot of hard work, they pulled the living man up the city wall. Unexpectedly, the living man was seriously injured. After all the troubles just now, after pulling up the city wall, he vomited blood and his legs
One blow, dead!
When the living person said his last words, there was blood in his mouth, so his words were slurred. He also spoke the local Henan dialect. Therefore, Wu Shigong did not understand what he said.
After being translated by the local strong man on the side, Wu Shigong knew what the living mouth was saying. The general meaning of what he said was: Wu Shigong and the others used fire blunderbuss to beat these people from the Holy Spirit Society, and the living mouth thought it was unfair. The living mouth gave in.
Wu Shigong and the others would have a fair duel with Sheng Sheng Hui and the others if they had the guts to do so.
After Wu Shigong understood this, he was extremely contemptuous of these ignorant people of the Holy Spirit Society. He thought in his heart: "How about a fair duel? People who are ignorant are ignorant."
"When I was in modern times, no matter how little I read, I still knew that our great teacher Engels once said: 'The fundamental difference between humans and animals is that they make and use tools.'"
"I'm a human being. Of course I have to use it when I make firecrackers. How can you animals who only know fair duels understand this? Have you ever seen people go to the slaughterhouse, take off their clothes, and fight with those birds?
,Beast, is it fair to practice wrestling in the mud?"
"The most ridiculous thing is that there is a nation of fools who actually sublimated this theory into a spirit. That is the spirit of Bushido. No wonder that fool's country is called a beast country. No wonder that fool's country's national flag is like a red light.
