Chapter 26: Wu Ciyou was deceived by a poisonous hand, and Li Yunniang entered the government office
When Baozhu received the letter from Wu Yingxiong to him and Zheng Chunyou, he suddenly felt sad. For the first time, he felt that the mission of killing Wu Ciyou was really unreasonable... He had followed Wu Sangui for more than ten years, and used his martial arts and tiger hunting skills to save people.
Because of his contribution, he became a personal bodyguard. Wu Sangui was always generous with his money. Whenever he was given a reward, he would be the first to receive one, often tens of thousands, without even receiving a harsh word. Wu Yingqi and his nephews all respected him.
As "brother-in-law". When running errands for Wu Sangui, he never gave the slightest discount, and he never doubted whether Wu Sangui's intentions were legitimate. But in the past few months of getting along with Wu Ciyou, Baozhu seemed to feel a little uneasy in his heart.
: This scholar is both upright and unruly. Why did he kill innocent people indiscriminately? Baozhu regretted not taking action immediately when he caught him. At least he would not be condemned in his conscience at that time. But now he has received Wu Sangui's order
I wrote a personal letter asking him to deal with it as soon as possible and go north to Beijing. What should I do?
"General Baozhu." After Zheng Chunyou read the letter, he lit it with a lamp and watched it turn into ashes. Seeing that Baozhu was still sulking and just eating one glass after another, Fang smiled and said, "This is really a good thing."
Great news. I have been raising him in fear for more than half a year. It's time for him to come to his end. Everything is at the discretion of the general."
Huangfu Baozhu was suddenly startled and thought to himself: "What's wrong with me? Liu Xuanchu and Xia Guoxiang often said that I am strong on the outside but soft on the inside and easily bullied. Could it be that they really said that?" He looked up at the dim light.
, then looked at Zheng Chunyou who was lying on the chair with a relaxed face, gritted his teeth and said: "I would like to hear what you, Lao Zheng, say first."
Zheng Chunyou was also full of worries, but he was good at hiding it. He came from a scholarly family, and relied on his true ability to pass the Jinshi examination in the third year of Kangxi. Later, because he joined Lao Huang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had to let a fellow student go.
Zhi. Seeing that sycophants like Mingzhu, losers like Suo'etu, and old rotten scholars like Xiong Cilu all climbed high, but he had nowhere to put his wealth of knowledge to use! He surrendered to Wu Sangui on his own initiative. That was
In order to develop his ambitions in the cause of "restoring our Han family's crown" and become a famous founding official of the country. But now he is in the mainland and serves as an official in the court. He is not as good as the pillar in front of him, who can walk with just a slap on his butt. Zheng Chunyou
He smiled and said: "The prince's meaning is very clear. We will interrogate him again. If we still can't find out, we have to kill him. Now the court has appointed Moro as Minister of War, and Pingliang is still under control. It seems that we are about to take action, my brother-in-law.
You can’t do it without someone in front of you.”
"I'm anxious too!" Baozhu said with a smile, "The Crown Prince has written to me several times in Beijing to urge me, and this time the prince urges me again. The scholar kills people without leaving any trace, so how about I entrust this matter to you? I'll be on my way tomorrow." This was the guarantee.
Zhu thought for a long time and came up with it. As long as his hands are not stained with Wu Ciyou's blood, he can have sex.
Zheng Chunyou took a few puffs of cigarette and suddenly laughed: "I don't know that you are a fierce general, but you are a bit like the King of Chu, with the kindness of a woman - if you want to leave, go ahead. But I think
Deal with him first and give you a farewell!"
"What if Wu Ciyou is willing to listen to his advice?" Baozhu asked.
"Then we can't keep him!" Zheng Chunyou smoked the hookah calmly, and the muscles in the corners of his mouth were twitching, showing that murderous intent was already in his heart. "Letting him walk out of my house will be a disaster. It's hard to stay here."
An Ning—" He suddenly leaned forward and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't forget what the prince said in his letter. The emperor has sent people out to check on Wu Ciyou, and he might be hiding near Yanzhou Mansion!" As he said this, he gasped.
Got a breath of air-conditioning.
What he said is true. At this moment, Li Yunniang and Qinghou'er were eavesdropping through the window. People are really the spirits of all things, incomprehensible, and women are even more incredible. It turns out that on the fourth day when Wu Ciyou entered the Yanzhou government office by mistake, she
I once secretly came back to investigate. The people in the government office and even the idlers on the street knew that Mr. Wu had indeed come to visit the Lord. The Supreme Lord treated him with courtesy for one day, so that he could be employed as an official the next day.
The sedan chair was delivered to the provincial capital. Yun Niang heard that the official sedan escort was escorted, and she had no suspicion about anyone else. She originally wanted to visit her hometown once more, then return to the mountain to seal her sword, and never go down to Zhongnan Mountain again. Unexpectedly, when she went to the provincial capital to inquire,
Wu Ciyou was not seen in the province at all. The governor, the vassal, and the people from Xuetai Mansion heard her ask about Wu Ciyou, and they kept asking about Wu Ciyou's whereabouts. Knowing that things had changed, she returned to Yanzhou. She and Qinghou'er had come to the mansion.
After several investigations, it was found that Wu Ciyou was indeed imprisoned in the garden of the government office. Unfortunately, Baozhu's followers were very strict and could not take action.
"Come on!" Zheng Chunyou shouted with a raised voice. Several servants heard the order in the east chamber and hurried in to answer the order. Yun Niang and Qing Hou'er outside the door hurriedly stepped aside. Zheng Chunyou blew out the gun with a "pop"
Holding paper and coal in his hand, he said: "Please come here, Mr. Wu!" After a while, Wu Ciyou walked in calmly, bowed to the two of them and said:
"I, Wu, have put life and death aside for a long time, please do it!"
"Sir, you misunderstood!" Zheng Chunyou said with a smile on his face, "I received a letter from the prince yesterday. The prince has decided to ask for the withdrawal of the feudal clan. Congratulations, sir, you can leave the palace tomorrow!"
Wu Ciyou sat comfortably on the chair and just smiled without answering. Thinking that he was about to suffer a big disaster in an instant, Baozhu laughed dryly and said to Wu Ciyou almost in a pleading tone: "Your strategy for withdrawing from the feudal vassal is gone.
Use it. We are playing chess, and you are still willing to spare me a few pieces - if you give it to me a little bit, it won't ruin your big deal with Long'er!"
"That's different." Wu Ciyou smiled and said, "What do I have for you? But I can't rest assured about Wu Sangui behind you! I see that you have a very good temperament, and you can be regarded as a good general of the country if you follow the right path. I really don't know why you are greedy for Wu Sangui.
Even a small favor can make a huge difference in the world."
After hearing this, Baozhu felt a sore feeling in his nose for some reason, and quickly turned away. However, Wu Ciyou said again: "If you want to talk about friendship, lecture on knowledge, play chess and drink tonight, you might as well sit down. Listen to what Mr. Baozhu said.
Now that I have said it, it seems that the prince's letter is not just about releasing Wu Ciyou, so there is no need to talk more about it." After saying that, he stood up.
"No, no! Of course I have to let you go - but there is one thing you must agree to." Seeing Wu Ciyou raising his head proudly, Zheng Chunyou smiled and stood up, poured out a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Gu is here.
This is not Zheng’s original intention. After Mr. goes out, this relationship with my brother must not be mentioned to outsiders - if Mr. is willing to agree, he will drink this glass of wine!"
"This is reasonable," Wu Ciyou thought to himself. This was not an unacceptably harsh condition, so he took the cup and drank it, then calmly said, "The things in front of you and the things behind you will come from
One day it will be over - this matter with me can be regarded as a personal relationship and can be written off."
"But I am a villain. A gentleman can be deceived, but a villain cannot be deceived. You should understand this - I can't believe your husband's words after all. You know, you can ruin my entire family with just one word!" Zheng Chunyou suddenly said
His face changed, he sat down with a grim smile, lifted up his robe, crossed his legs, and said no more words.
"Then what do you think we should do? I, Wu, am here -" Wu Ciyou said this, and suddenly felt a burning pain in his throat. He coughed twice, and the pain became stronger and stronger. He suddenly realized that he had been fooled by this old and cunning man! He
His whole body was trembling, one hand was holding the back of the chair, and the other trembling hand was pointing at Zheng Chunyou, his face was red, but he couldn't say a word.
"Mute medicine!" Zheng Chunyou laughed proudly, "You have read so many books in vain! Is the only way to seal the silence is execution, and you don't even know this? Although this medicine is only effective for a few days
, but only two days are enough for me! A group of prisoners will be executed tomorrow in the mansion. Please come and join in the fun! In order to prevent you from talking nonsense when you return to the west, I have implemented a small plan. I'm sorry for the neglect.
,Feel sorry!"
Huangfu Baozhu suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart. He will never forget this scene in his life. He has fought hundreds of battles and killed countless people in his life, but he has never seen Zheng Chunyou so cruel and vicious! Huangfu Baozhu, don't turn around.
I'm sorry, I can't bear to watch this tragedy again.
"Come here!" Zheng Chunyou shouted fiercely.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man came in, stood at the door with his sword drawn, and asked, "What is your mission, sir?"
"Who are you?" Zheng Chunyou heard something was wrong in the voice and quickly turned around and asked.
"Li Yuliang!"
"Master Green Monkey!" Another one came in in response.
The two of them signed up loudly while raising their swords to grab the guard post. They knew that if they couldn't defeat this man, it would be difficult to save Wu Ciyou.
This time, he became hasty. Before Baozhu could recover, he saw that the two men were approaching him with their swordsmanship. He turned over and leaned back, holding the one-foot-long red iron frame used for hanging coats and hats in the corner of the hall.
In his hands, he danced with the sound of the wind and struck horizontally. Yuliang took advantage of the trend, and heard a "bang" sound, and fire burst out! Baozhu's hand was also numb from the shock, and then he remembered that he had competed in the Yingfeng Pavilion.
The man with internal strength was startled, and the Green Monkey's sword was approaching. Baozhu hurriedly lowered his body, picked up a foot of red and swept it towards the feet of the two people. He only heard a "chi" sound, and the clothes on his back were
A piece has been torn apart.
Baozhu suddenly became furious and shouted: "Guards, come and protect Mr. Zheng and Mr. Wu, I'll catch these two thieves!" After saying that, he rushed forward again, and the three of them fought together. Zheng Chunyou was frightened at first.
Out of his mind, he saw an opening and quietly slipped out of the yard through the door, shouting at the top of his lungs: "The front and back doors are sealed. The whole house is here to catch the thief. If you take one, you will be rewarded three thousand taels of silver!"
Li Yuliang became more active in the siege. She jumped up and down, stabbed, hooked, and struck viciously. Seeing that there were more and more people in the room, it was difficult for her to do anything. She jumped out of the window like a carp. Yuliang caught a glimpse of it.
Green Monkey also retreated into the courtyard, and was surrounded by four tough men who were fighting each other. Although he tried his best, his steps were unsteady due to his lack of ability. Li Yuliang then shouted: "Green Monkey, let's go quickly!"
As he spoke, he raised his left hand, and several silver darts were shot at the same time. Two of the four people who were besieging Qing Hou'er had been knocked down. Qing Hou'er was sweating from the killing, and felt that it was difficult to support him. When he heard Yun Niang's shouting, he thought that Yun Niang was also
To exit, he took advantage of the two men to dodge the silver darts and climbed up to the eaves with both hands. Then he turned over with a kite and went up to the roof. He threw back the two darts and hit the two guards who were fighting with Yuliang.
He shouted: "Master, I have escaped, you should leave quickly!" After saying that, he quickly jumped from house to house and disappeared without a trace. At this time, the whole government office had turned into a pot of porridge.
The people in the yard surrounded Yu Liang, and they were fighting vigorously. Suddenly, they heard Yu Liang sneer, leap into the air with his feet, and got out of the circle of people again, and returned to the house. Everyone was scratching their heads when they heard something in the flower hall.
There were two screams, and then two bloody heads were pulled out of the window. It turned out that Yuliang had killed the two government servants guarding Wu Ciyou inside. When everyone screamed in surprise and rushed into the flower hall, they heard "boom"
With a loud bang, the back wall of the flower hall collapsed. Li Yuliang jumped out of the back wall with Wu Ciyou on his back and escaped from the flower hall.
"Block all roads," Zheng Chunyou roared, "don't let them go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Liang pushed a female wall down with her elbow. It turned out that she didn't know the right way and specialized in breaking the wall.
And out.
With a sullen face, Baozhu snatched the bow and arrow from the person next to him, and shot an arrow toward the gap in the female wall. Li Yuliang stumbled in the dark shadow, and everyone shouted, waiting for him to pounce.
When I looked forward, I saw a pool of blood on the ground. The two people had already disappeared.
"It's been reported that all the government officials are dispatched together to search the whole city!" Zheng Chunyou broke into hot and cold sweat and shouted angrily.
"Slow down!" Kong Lingpei, who was standing behind him, grabbed Zheng Chunyou's arm, "Your Majesty, you can't beat the stolen gongs and drums!" Baozhu also wiped the sweat from his face and said coldly: "Forget it.
!I will leave immediately tonight. Lao Zheng, you should leave quickly too!"
Qing Hou'er rushed out of the siege and waited for Yun Niang on the west side of the government office. After a long while, he heard two "boom boom" sounds, which was expected to be Yun Niang breaking through the wall. While he was happy, he heard people shouting in unison: "Arrow shot."
It's fallen, get it quickly!" Then there was no sound. He watched eagerly for a long time, but no one rushed out to chase him. After thinking for a while, he thought that Yun Niang must have fallen into someone else's hands. When he returned to the store, he didn't see Yun Niang's body either.
Trace, his legs went weak, he sat down on the ground, curled his lips, and burst into tears. While crying, he complained: "Auntie... What's so good about that sour scholar Wu Ciyou? This is good."
, even you call me..."
"What Wu Ciyou? Where is Wu Ciyou?" Someone suddenly asked from behind. The green monkey was crying sadly, and was suddenly startled by the sound. When he looked back, he saw a strong man. He couldn't see him clearly in the dark.
The green monkey's face jumped up: "Grandpa is crying here, what does it have to do with you? The road is facing the sky, and people are on separate sides, get the hell out of here!"
"Dai Liangchen, who is acting wild over there?" Another question came from far away.
When the green monkey took a look, he saw a woman in palace clothes surrounded by four pairs of palace lanterns on the left and right. Behind her was a man in military uniform, holding a sword and following closely - this woman was none other than Kong Sizhen who had returned to the south. She had just stayed in Yanzhou Mansion.
.Green Monkey'er straightened his back and said, "Who are you? Can you control whether I act wild or not?" Dai Liangchen hurriedly bowed and said: "Master, what did this young boy just cry about Wu Ciyou?"
Kong Sizhen couldn't help being surprised when she heard this. She stepped forward and shook the shoulders of the stunned Green Monkey with both hands. Her voice was so excited that her voice trembled a little: "Good boy, tell me, have you seen Wu Ciyou?"
"Who are you?" Green Monkey pulled away warily, took two steps back and asked with eyes wide open.
Kong Sizhen saw that the child's clothes were torn to pieces, his belly was exposed, his face was bruised and purple, and his eyebrows were dark, but he had a serious look. He laughed "Puff" and turned to Sun Yanling behind him.
"It's better to rush early than to catch up, and unexpectedly I'm here to inquire." Sun Yanling smiled and replied: "Yes, as the saying goes, 'You can't find a place after breaking through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to find it!'" Kong Sizhen said to him tenderly.
Green Monkey said: "I am Wu Ciyou's cousin. I have been looking for him for several years, but I can't get any news. Good boy, since you know his whereabouts, tell my aunt, okay?"
Green Hou'er stared unblinkingly into Kong Sizhen's eyes, seeing that he and Yun Niang were shining with love and affection for him. After a long time, Qing Hou'er lowered his head, wiped his tears with his sleeves and said, "I told you, and
Is there any way? My aunt and Mr. Wu have both... asked others to take it away...tomorrow..."
"Don't cry, think of something." Kong Sizhen said soothingly, "What's your name? Come, follow your aunt on the boat, and talk slowly..." As he said this, he coaxed and persuaded the green monkey towards him.
