That morning, as soon as Wu Shigong arrived at the Yamen, he received news from someone sent by Li Pengfei, asking him to gather 200 soldiers from the Military and Horse Division and join the Jinyi Guards to ransack the house.
Wu Shigong hurriedly gathered his team and met with Li Pengfei. Under the leadership of a eunuch named Eunuch Qin, he set off towards the goal of confiscation. On the way, Li Pengfei and Wu Shigong explained: There are too many people searching homes these days, and the factory guards can't allocate them.
, so Li Pengfei thought of his good brother Wu Shigong, because there would be some benefits to ransacking the house.
Arriving at the door of the house that had been ransacked, the experienced Li Pengfei first arranged for the soldiers from the Military and Horse Department to stand around the wall of the house to prevent anyone from escaping or transferring items. Then Eunuch Qin and some factory guards entered the door. Li Pengfei
He and several personal guards were chatting with Wu Shigong outside.
Wu Shigong asked Li Pengfei strangely: Why don't you go in? Li Pengfei smiled and told Wu Shigong the reason. It turns out that it is risky to go to an official's house to search his or her house. If the official can be brought back to life in the future, if he holds a grudge, the person who ransacked the house may be dead.
It can't be saved. Therefore, when Eunuch Qin is reading out the imperial edict, don't go in yet. After the official is taken away, there will be no risk in going in at that time.
After Wu Shigong heard this, he suddenly understood and sighed in his heart: This is really like a mountain separated by two lines.
After a while, the official was escorted away in a prison car. Li Pengfei whispered in Wu Shigong's ear and whispered the gossip to Wu Shigong: "That man will basically die in the imperial prison within three days."
The soldiers of the Military and Horse Division could not enter the mansion, but no one stopped the commander Wu Shigong from entering. After Wu Shigong followed Li Pengfei in, Li Pengfei and Wu Shigong said hello and went about their business. Wu Shigong was
I was very curious, so I wandered around the mansion looking here and there. No one came to care about the factory security personnel who were busy searching the house, because these personnel all knew Wu Shigong and knew that he was a good friend of their leader.
.
Slowly, Wu Shigong walked to the inner courtyard of the mansion. The people who ransacked the house gathered the female family members, maids and mothers-in-law of the mansion into a large room for guarding. Wu Shigong curiously went to this room.
I glanced around the big room, and suddenly I saw a little girl standing among the group of women. She was behaving very strangely. The other women all lowered their heads and remained motionless, but although the little girl lowered her head, her eyes were still looking towards her.
Scanning around.
Just then, the little girl's eyes met Wu Shigong's. They looked at each other for a while, and the little girl blinked at Wu Shigong. Could it be that the little girl came to see him for something? Wu Shigong suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked this person.
Walk in the direction of the little girl.
The house that was raided was the residence of Li Yushi, the censor of Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Last night, Li Yushi had already felt that something serious might be going on. He called his daughter Li Xin to the study.
Ask her to memorize the several memorials she prepared. And tell Li Xin: If something happens to Li Yushi, ask Li Xin to pass these memorials to the surviving officials of the Donglin Party so that they can continue to fight.
Therefore, after her home was confiscated, Li Xin has been looking for opportunities. After she met Wu Shigong, Li Xin hesitated for a moment, because under the influence of her family environment, she originally looked down on military attaches. But Li Xin changed her mind.
When she thought about it: most people who are righteous are dog-slaughters, so she sent a signal to the righteous man Wu Shigong in the blink of an eye, asking Wu Shigong to come to her side, and it would be best to rescue her.
In fact, Wu Shigong also guessed what Li Xin was thinking, thinking that Li Xin would ask him to rescue her. However, Wu Shigong was not doing it for justice. He saw that this mansion was also magnificent, so he thought to himself: This family must be strong.
If you have money, if that little girl can give you a lot of money, you might as well find a way to save her.
Wu Shigong came to Li Xin. Li Xin whispered to Wu Shigong: "Save me."
As expected, Wu Shigong simply asked in a low voice: "Do you have something for me?"
Li Xin was overjoyed, she was indeed a just person. She quickly replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Wu Shigong was also very happy: he got the money.
However, we still need to discuss with Li Pengfei how to save this little girl. So Wu Shigong also whispered: "You wait."
Of course the two Jinyi guards who were watching on the side knew Wu Shigong's identity. They pretended to be deaf and dumb to the conversation between the two.
The mansion was very big, and after asking a Jinyi guard who was searching the house, Wu Shigong finally found Li Pengfei who was counting the items that had been confiscated.
Wu Shigong walked to Li Pengfei, pulled him aside and asked, "Where will those women be sent?"
"Oh, send it to the Jiaofang Secretary."
"Where is Jiaofangsi?" Wu Shigong really didn't understand.
Li Pengfei looked at Wu Shigong with a strange look. Seeing that Wu Shigong didn't look like he was joking, he simply replied: "Brotherhouse."
"What a pity!" Wu Shigong blurted out after listening to Li Pengfei's words.
Then Li Pengfei is a genius. After hearing what Wu Shigong said, why didn't he understand what Wu Shigong meant? He immediately smiled and leaned towards Wu Shigong, and asked in a low voice: "What? Brother Wu has taken a fancy to the woman in this house?"
"
Wu Shigong didn't have any good answer, so he could only nod.
Li Pengfei put away his smile and said, "I'd like to remind you that it doesn't matter if I live in my house?"
"That's absolutely no problem." Wu Shigong replied, patting his chest. How can a man lose face on such an issue?
Li Pengfei thought for a while and then said to Wu Shigong: "Let's do this. I will point out the woman later, and I will take the risk for my brother and complete the procedures for the woman. However, I must do it."
Don't bite me out as brother in front of Xue Hou."
"Is it so simple?" Wu Shigong couldn't believe his ears. He thought it would take a lot of hard work to rescue the little girl.
"It's that simple. It's just buying a person from a brothel." Li Pengfei rolled his eyes at Wu Shigong. He then asked: "Have you thought about where to send the girl?"
That's right! Where should I send it? It's definitely not possible to take it back to Xue Mansion. Wu Shigong thought about it and thought of the young widow Chen Zhao, so he told Li Pengfei the address of the powder shop.
When Li Pengfei heard this, he showed a look of great admiration on his face, and gave Wu Shigong a thumbs up. He thought to himself: I didn't expect that this little brother of his would even hook up with a little widow. Li Pengfei is also quite fond of Nancheng.
He is familiar with it, of course he knows the situation of that makeup shop.
Anyway, Wu Shigong was misunderstood by Li Pengfei enough today, it doesn't matter if there is one more.
Seeing Wu Shigong and Li Pengfei chatting and laughing, Eunuch Qin also came over. After learning that Wu Shigong wanted a woman in this house, he also expressed that there was absolutely no problem. Seeing that Li Pengfei and Eunuch Qin were not shy at all.
, Wu Shigong finally understood: It seems that in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing happened often. So they were all used to it.
After the items were counted, the people who searched the house also took away the people in the house. Wu Shigong pointed out the little girl to Li Pengfei.
Eunuch Qin also saw the little girl, and immediately reminded Wu Shigong: "If Commander Wu wants this girl, then today's military and horse division's departure fee will be gone." Seeing Wu Shigong's puzzled look, Eunuch Qin said
He is also an all-rounded character, and then explained to Wu Shigong: "The departure fee for the Bingma Division today is two hundred taels. But that woman is worth five hundred taels."
"So expensive!" Wu Shigong was shocked by the price of the little girl. In his understanding, the price of a maid in the Ming Dynasty was only about twenty taels of silver, which was not as high as the price of a horse. The price of the little girl
No matter how high the price is, it's probably worth a hundred taels of silver at most.
"This is the price." Li Pengfei explained to Eunuch Qin on the side, "Brother, think about it, yesterday I was the daughter of a high-ranking official, and today I am under you. Is it worth the price?"
When Wu Shigong thought about it, it was indeed the truth. So he smiled and said to them: "Even the sow with an ugly daughter's head is very happy."
Li Pengfei and Eunuch Qin burst out laughing after hearing this. This man couldn't stop talking about naughty things, so Wu Shigong and Li Pengfei started talking one by one. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Qin also intervened and said naughty things.
He also talked very enthusiastically. This made Wu Shigong particularly admired. He really couldn't tell that Eunuch Qin was a eunuch.
After breaking up and returning to the Bingma Si Yamen, Wu Shigong had to take out his own money and distribute it to the soldiers. At this time, Wu Shigong was in trouble again: How to get rid of followers like Xue Yong and go to the powder shop? He thought for a long time.
, and didn't come up with any good ideas. Wu Shigong felt furious and thought: I'm not doing anything bad, why should I be afraid that they will know? Just tell the truth to Xue Yong and the others.
