The thirty-sixth chapter of Huangsi Village suffers from evil consequences
In a blink of an eye, it was June, as hot as coals, and more and more water was used in the palace. That day, Xiao Maozi got up early as usual, filled three large water jars, and added water to the tea stove.
Sitting by the stove and lighting the fire silently. After eating breakfast, I saw Huang Sicun wandering over with a quail cage. While joking with Ah San, he asked: "Xiao Maozi, the water hasn't boiled yet? I'm so thirsty.
, I still want to take a shower!”
"Let's wash it again tomorrow, June 6th!" Xiao Maozi threw a stick of firewood and sneered, "Have you had enough of holding yourself up, or are you holding on to the yellow soup? You will be the master as soon as you come back.
The posture - 'I'm dying of thirst', I deserve it! Is Xiao Maozi your slave?" Ah San had been getting along well with Xiao Maozi recently. Seeing that he was so tired that he got angry, he smiled and said nothing, and went to find an ax to chop firewood.
"Hey!" June 6th is the Pig Bathing Day. Hearing Xiao Maozi's clever scolding, Huang Sicun was also furious, "What kind of deal do you want with me? You think Master Ming has bought into your account, right? You are now
He is still a little kid! Cooking fires, chopping wood, and carrying water are all part of his job! Although I am small, I am still a big man. I just asked you, if you have a car!" He was drinking at the Wu Mansion last night, and Wu Yingxiong revealed his little hair.
The son scolded him, and all of them got angry.
After hearing this, Xiao Maozi put down the fire scissors, crossed his hands and said, "Dick Mao Hui, I won't serve you, what should you do?"
"Okay, okay!" Ah San came over with an armful of firewood and put it on the ground. He pushed Xiao Maozi and said, "Stop arguing. I just sent word that the Yangxin Hall will need water soon. Huang Jing is sick. I asked him to send it over -
When you're tired, go over there and rest, I'll burn it." Xiao Maozi had already thrown away his hand and went into the room to lie down and pretend to be sulky, but his eyes widened to spy on Huang Sicun's movements.
The water boiled in a moment. Ah San was busy lighting the fire and carrying back the remaining firewood. Huang Sicun went into the house and took a look, and saw Xiao Maozi looking at the ceiling in a daze. He didn't provoke him anymore and was messing around behind the door for a long time.
, took a deep breath, picked up a big teapot and went out.
"It's happened!" Xiao Maozi was excited and bounced up. He looked at the dozen or so pots in the ground. Only the one he paid attention to every day was gone. He came out to look at Huang Sicun's back and took a few steps.
He went into the house and grabbed a piece of rope, went to the stove and blackened his hands, wiped his face, and then walked slowly behind Huang Sicun.
"Stop!" The stubborn donkey who was guarding in front of the Chuihua Gate saw Xiao Maozi sneaking over and shouted suddenly, "What are you doing?" He also saw Xiao Maozi's face covered with dirt, as if he had crawled out of the stove ash pit, almost
laugh out loud.
"Uncle Kuan!" Xiao Maozi yelled and rushed forward, whispering a few words into Kuang Donkey's ear. Kuang Donkey was as if he had seen a kid in Yama's palace in the middle of the night, and shouted out of surprise: "Someone is trying to kill someone."
Your Majesty, hurry, hurry, hurry...ah!"
Little Maozi jumped like an exploded corpse and crawled into the hanging flower door. But the stubborn donkey didn't know where he was and where he was willing to let him in, so he grabbed him tightly and wouldn't let him go.
"The devil who got stabbed! The fallen corpse! The bastard! The dung beetle who can't even touch his feet! Huang Sicun is planning to kill the emperor, but you stop me!" Xiao Maozi was so anxious that he tore, fought, kicked and bit, but nothing happened.
Can get away!
Kangxi was in the Xinuan Pavilion asking La Aunt Suma for advice on calculation methods. When he heard the noise outside the courtyard, he left Aunt Suma and walked out, asking Wei Dongting who was guarding the door: "What happened?" Wei Dongting
I had already seen clearly that Huang Sicun was holding a big teapot, and he was stunned as if struck by lightning. Big beads of sweat were dripping down his cheeks. He also heard the little Maozi who was blocked outside the door screaming and yelling that he wanted to break in.
When he came in, he knew something was wrong, so he stood between Kangxi and Huang Sicun and asked, "I still don't understand this matter." Kangxi raised his face and ordered sternly:
"Leave the door open and tell him to come in!"
Xiao Maozi stumbled and crawled in. His clothes had been torn to pieces by the guards. Kangxi saw that the shrewd and fierce Xiao Maozi was in such a state because he was on an errand, with black and white streaks on his face and mouth.
, red and purple, my heart sank unconsciously, and I asked with a stern face: "Are you crazy? How dare you come here to act wild!"
"My good master, oh--" Xiao Maozi knelt down with a plop and cried loudly. He was not as sad as he was about the huge hatred and deep grievances in the sea. He was wiping away his tears while pointing at Huangsi Village.
, "This goddamn guy got a bag of some kind of medicine and mixed it into the water and brought it to the master... I saw something was wrong, so I followed behind and rushed over. The stubborn donkeys refused to call in... Oh my god,
The phoenix is really inferior to the chicken..."
Kangxi suddenly shrank in shock and turned to look at Huang Sicun. Huang Sicun's face was already ashen, and he said anxiously: "What...how do you say this? Xiao Maozi, we...are not bad brothers, that's right."
How could you harm people like this after a few words of bickering?"
"Shut up!" Wei Dongting roared in a low voice, "Long Live the Lord didn't ask you anything!"
"Your name is Huang Sicun?"
"Slave...yes." Huang Sicun's knees softened and he knelt down and replied.
"Xiao Maozi said you put medicine in the water!"
"No, no... no!" Huang Sicun replied with a trembling voice, shivering like leaves in the autumn wind.
"I saw it with my own eyes!" Xiao Maozi stared closely.
"Long live my Lord!" Huang Sicun called out to Tianqu with a grimace, "With the blue sky and the bright sun, how many slaves are brave enough to put medicine into the water? Besides, this water must be tested with silver, and people can only enter after tasting it.
Yes, don’t you know that I have been working as a servant for many years? Xiao Maozi has a grudge against the slave in the first place and deliberately accuses the slave... Long live the Lord if you don’t believe it, ask someone to taste it and you will know..."
"Amitabha, why do you ask others to taste it?" Aunt Sumala had already come out, clasping her hands with a frosty face and said, "Buddha said that the person who ties the bell must untie it - how about you try it?"
Huang Sicun was speechless.
"Huh?" Kangxi's eyes swept over him like lightning.
"In response to my words, Long Live the Lord," Huang Sicun hesitated, "I will not be able to provide evidence even if I try to die."
"Pour him in!" Wei Dongting shouted loudly from the side. The stubborn donkey strode forward, pulled Huang Sicun's ears with one hand, and pinched his nose with the other. Huang Sicun had no choice but to open his mouth, and Xiao Maozi skillfully lifted the pot.
He said: "Huang, please be wise and avoid pouring too much." As he said this, he tilted the spout and poured it into his mouth. Huang Sicun couldn't help but swallow it with a "gudong" sound, and then took another mouthful.
"If you pour it again, it won't burn him to death!" Seeing Xiao Maozi's trembling hands, the stubborn donkey shouted with strange eyes. Xiao Maozi fed Huang Sicun another four or five mouthfuls before putting down the kettle.
Huang Sicun knew that he had used poison, but the poison would only take effect after Sunday, so he was so heartbroken that he knelt down straight, looked at Xiao Maozi, and thought through gritted teeth: "If I don't die today, the Third Prince will not be able to spare me tomorrow."
You!" How could he have expected that Xiao Maozi had added a layer of arsenic to it!
Halfway through the meal, everyone saw that nothing happened in Huang Sicun, and their hearts gradually relaxed. Kangxi thought it was Xiao Maozi's prank, and was thinking about how to deal with the matter, when he heard Huang Sicun grit his teeth and said: "Long live my lord, you have seen it."
——How poisonous is this little guy’s heart? Why don’t you even ask him to drink something like this..." After Fang said this, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, his face suddenly turned white and blue, and his mouth, nose, and eyes were distorted.
.
"It's happening!" Xiao Maozi pointed at Huang Sicun and shouted.
Kangxi had already stood up, took a step back, and nervously grabbed the frightened Aunt Suma... When he looked at Huang Sicun, he held his stomach and arched up like a cat, put his head on the ground, and coughed.
He said intermittently: "It is the order of King Pingxi... I will kill you... you Mantars..." His body swayed like an arch bridge and stopped moving. This scene came and went quickly, and it was only half a bag from beginning to end.
During the smoke, all the guards, eunuchs, and maids in the courtyard were so shocked that their faces turned pale.
"Call the people from the Shenxing Department!" Kangxi couldn't help being furious. "Skinned him, cramped his muscles and showed them to all the eunuchs in the palace, and gave the meat to the dogs to eat! His house was ransacked with wolves and no one was old.
Young, sent to Heilongjiang to be slaves of armored men!"
"Cha!" The wolf standing below glared and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Aunt Sumala turned around and whispered to Kangxi, "His mother is the former imperial aunt's wet nurse, and the matter involves the Three Feuds."
Kangxi was so angry that his lips trembled. He couldn't even handle such a case unless Wu Sangui was eliminated! He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then waved his hands and said, "Oh! Report death due to sudden illness!" He turned around and called out again, "Zhang Wanqiang!"
"The slave is here!"
"The people in the imperial tea room must check carefully one by one and replace all the unreliable ones. The empress dowager, empress dowager, queen and I must be even more careful when using drinking water!" Kangxi said, untying the plate at his collar.
But, he was obviously too hot, and he thought for a long time before saying, "Xiao Maozi, go back to the Yangxin Hall to wait."
The uproar subsided. Xiao Maozi returned to the Yangxin Hall after a long absence according to "Wu Ehuang's plan". Returning from the smoky stove to the golden hall, he seemed to be in a dream.
Everything was familiar, but also seemed a little strange. The next day, Kangxi issued an edict to promote Zhang Wanqiang to the position of eunuch of the Sixth Palace, and Xiao Maozi became the unequivocal leader of the Yangxin Palace. In addition to the highest reward that an eunuch can receive, the sixth-grade blue feather dingzi
, and got an enviable yellow mantle, he was really a little complacent. When Kangxi asked Xiao Maozi in detail about the spies in Wu and Zhou in the inner palace, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay, okay! You
If you are not a eunuch, I really want to let you be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and fight Wu Sangui with poison! However, you should have informed me about this in advance."
"First of all, I can't tell when he will make a move. It's not good if he misses the point." Xiao Maozi blinked and said with a smile. "Secondly, if I play the master first, I will be afraid that I won't be able to get this yellow mantle!" Kangxi listened.
He smiled and said, "Go back and tell your mother that I will tell you that your second nephew will be adopted into your room and you will be given a gift first."
These words were worth more than gold. Xiao Maozi, who had no shortage of gold, was beaming with joy.
But he only laughed for half a month. That evening, when he was riding home on horseback, "Shoulder King" Jiao Shan suddenly appeared on the road, waving to him and calling: "Come down."
"It's Uncle Jiao!" Xiao Maozi rolled off the saddle, pulled the reins and gave a bow. An ominous premonition came over his heart, and he asked with a smile, "Did you have dinner?"
"The young master calls you!"
"Hmm..." Xiao Maozi chewed his teeth and made up his mind, and said with a smile for a while, "Why is it so urgent? Let's go to our house to have a drink and see the young master together." He had always been afraid of this.
Jiao Shan, who was smiling, looked at his unkind expression, and his heart was pounding. After hearing this, Jiao Shan just said with a sullen face: "Forget it, the young master is waiting!" Xiao Maozi's heart couldn't help but froze.
As he walked away, he secretly looked at Jiao Shan, trying to figure out how to get through this level. He kept chatting and gossiping to test his tone, but Jiao Shan just hesitated.
Entering Gulou West Street, it was already dark. As soon as he stepped into the main hall of Zhou Mansion, Xiao Maozi couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. Dozens of candles were lit in the hall, making it as bright as day. Above, "Prince Zhu San"
"With livid faces, Li Zhu, Zhou Quanbin, Zhu Shangxian, Shi Guobin, and Wang Zhenbang all frowned and stared, their faces flushed, staring at Xiao Maozi without saying a word, looking sinister and ferocious. For a long time, Xiao Mao
Zi then calmed down, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Xiao Maozi, please pay your respects to the young master!"
"Do you know what's wrong with calling you here?" Zhu Shangxian's voice was filled with great pressure. He had always distrusted Xiao Maozi, and Xiao Maozi was most afraid of dealing with him, so as soon as he spoke, Xiao Maozi felt nervous. Xiao Maozi
Zi had made up his mind, straightened his back and replied boldly: "I know - either you will die or you will receive a reward!"
When these words were spoken, not only Yang Qilong was greatly surprised, but Li Zhu who was sitting next to him was also startled and asked sharply: "What does this mean?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Xiao Maozi replied, "If you are a wise king, young master, I will accept the reward; if you are a foolish king, I will accept your death!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhenbang next to him sneered and said: "There is no need to play tricks on others.
Well, that won't help! Who told you to report Huang Sicun?" Xiao Maozi stared at Wang Zhenbang, feeling a little confused. After all, he was not deeply involved in the world and could not understand the characteristics of this "double agent" - this Wang Zhenbang's sinister
There is neither yin nor yang. Wu Yingxiong said it was Wu Yingxiong's people, and Yang Qilong said it was Yang Qilong's people. What the hell happened? After thinking about it, he answered directly: "It was Wu Ehuang who told me about the poisoning in Huangsi Village and called me
If you report them, I will report them."
"So, you are Wu'e's son-in-law?" Yang Qilong interrupted and asked, although his voice was not high-pitched, but it was filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Maozi knew that if he said the wrong word at this time, he would be killed. He pondered for a moment, raised his head and smiled helplessly: "Isn't there a sentence in Zhong Sanlang's heavenly book, 'There is no trace when you come, and there is no trace when you go.
Before the Holy Lord, I only obey orders? It doesn't make sense for me to say who I am. It depends on who the things I do are good for, and I am his person. I only act according to my original heart and the instructions of the heavenly book!"
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Qilong leaned forward, his eyes becoming aggressive.
"Only the stupidest people would think of poisoning the water. Didn't the third prince say that he wanted to 'frame' him? - As soon as I reported him, and the people asked Huang Sicun, he was framed!"
"Don't be harsh, there's something wrong with your words!" Li Zhu giggled, "Let me ask you, what benefits did the man named Wu give you, and how did the young master mistreat you? Why did you work so hard for the man named Wu?"
Xiao Maozi didn't turn away, and said with a smile: "Great Military Advisor, please tell the truth. If King Pingxi doesn't rebel, can we do it alone?"
"Of course not, but if Kangxi dies, King Pingxi will definitely rebel!"
"You ruined my big job!" Yang Qilong became more and more annoyed as he listened, gritting his teeth and said, "Follow the rules of the hall, come on - tie him up and put him in the same place in the back!" Lei Hong, a few red-clothed guards guarding the side, said
He agreed, twisted the little boy fiercely, tied it up, and pushed it out.
"What are you busy with?" Xiao Maozi was frightened and furious, and the hopping monster screamed, "I see you guys are all dizzy! King Pingxi is still rebelling while Kangxi is alive, kill him now, and before Wu Sangui rebels, here is
They will be finished first! They will definitely suspect that Huang Sicun was sent here. Hehe! You have made a big mistake and Xiaomaozi has fixed it. Now you are going to kill me? "
Yang Qilong waved his hand to ask the guards to leave temporarily. Xiao Maozi's words were equivalent to overturning what everyone had agreed on before, which is really worth pondering. Li Zhu kept tapping the back of his hands with a fan, and asked in deep thought: "How come we are finished first?
?”
"There are so many people at the moment, I can't tell. Who knows what some people are worried about!" Xiao Maozi was already prejudiced and wanted to frame Wu Yingxiong, so he just said vaguely, "This is the same as the Three Kingdoms. Everyone wants to eat others, so they have to
Prevent others from eating you."
"Unlock it!" Yang Qilong already understood that as soon as Kangxi died, Wu Yingxiong would immediately reveal the secret of Drum Tower West Street so that he could take advantage of the chaos and escape. He couldn't help but sigh, "Why don't you come and tell me first!"
Xiao Maozi felt that he had overcome the danger and cried with joy. He stroked his arm that was sore from the rope and started to cry, as if he had been wronged.
Do you know?...I was in a hurry, so I broke into the Nourishing Heart Hall!" He cried and wiped his tears with his sleeves.
"I'm in the Wenhua Hall, why didn't you tell me?" Wang Zhenbang asked.
Xiao Maozi had stopped crying. Hearing Wang Zhenbang ask this question, he sneered: "Why are you stepping on me in the mud today? You are already the leader of Wenhua Palace, and you are still greedy and want to climb up? You
Do you think I should be buried in a pile of firewood for the rest of my life, suffering from the filth of Huang Sicun and you?" These words were so heartbreaking that Wang Zhenbang turned pale with anger and had nothing to say.
Wu Yingxiong caused trouble for Kangxi this time, and Xiao Maozi's defense was indeed reasonable. It turned out that Zhong Sanlang, the leader who wanted to kill Xiao Maozi, had nothing to say. Yang Qilong told everyone to disperse, leaving alone
Xiao Maozi, Li Zhu and Jiao Shan discuss matters.
"According to the military advisor." Yang Qilong shook his folding fan that never left his side throughout the five winters and six summers, frowning and said, "We have to wait for Wu Sangui to raise his troops?"
Li Zhu shook his head and said: "We didn't think carefully last time! It's very mysterious to do this in the palace. Not to mention that Wu Yingxiong is a traitor and can't tolerate me. Even if Wang Zhenbang and the others fail to catch up with the root, they will also
Incredible."
"That makes sense," Jiao Shan said. "Instead of us taking action, it is better to let Wu Yingxiong take action. Wu Yingxiong has been holding back in Beijing for so many years. He is more anxious than us."
"Wu Yingxiong is already taking action." Yang Qilong smiled, "A report came from Xiangtang on Qianmen Street, saying that he is using a soft knife this time!"
Li Zhu and Jiao Shan both knew about this and nodded while listening. No matter how anxious Xiao Maozi was, he didn't dare to ask. After a long time, they heard Li Zhu sigh: "Wu Yingxiong is so treacherous, he will be our big enemy in the future!" Yang Qilong nodded.
He nodded: "Well, we can't let him go back to Yunnan. We have to find a way to ask the court to get rid of him!" Xiao Maozi was moved in his heart and stepped forward and said: "Wu Yingxiong recently got the gold medal arrow from the court and is preparing to return to Yunnan!"
"Xiao Maozi," Yang Qilong's eyes were unfathomable, "Wu Sangui is an old man, and Wu Yingxiong is trapped in Beijing again. It will never become a big deal! You must be sure of this big idea!"
"That goes without saying!" said Xiao Maozi, "otherwise, how could I, Xiao Maozi, be willing to work so hard for the young master?"
Li Zhuyin smiled and said in a lowered voice: "Xiao Maozi, go back and tell Kangxi about Jin Lingjian!"
"Yeah." Xiao Maozi agreed, but he was thinking in his heart: "Soft knife? How can you kill someone with a soft knife?" He muttered a little.
No matter how smart a person is, he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent! But the next day, he heard the news from Zhong Sanlang Xiangtang that he was already the "Messenger of God" in the hall. (To be continued)
