I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 85
Wu Mingda was taken aback when the bloody Wu Yaoshi was taken home.

"What's the matter? Please call the doctor."

The entire Yanwang Mansion was in a hurry, someone was boiling water here, and they hurried to find a doctor.

Yin Shisan carefully told the princess what happened in the imperial prison, and when he heard that the Emperor Daojun ordered the whipping himself, or Wu'an Marquis Fu Jinchuan imprisoned him, he was immediately full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger.

How can it be?
After all, this is Shangjing, no matter how powerful Yanwangfu is, it is still a courtier of Zhao Jin.

And Wu Yaoshi's matter was really too much, he was already engaged to the princess and went to have a tryst with a famous prostitute, this prostitute is still a thief.
To put it bluntly, even if Yan Wang Wu Renguang was in Shangjing, Wu Yaoshi would have to suffer this beating.

After I invited a doctor from the famous Spring Cottage in Shangjing to see it, he prescribed some medicine for external application and internal use, and said that there is no serious problem, and it will be fine in a few days.Only then did Wu Mingda feel relieved.

"I'm in the Underworld, right?"

Wu Yaoshi's first sentence when he woke up was that Wu Mingda was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"Yes, you're all dead, Shisan went outside to set up firewood for burning"

"Hey hey." Wu Yaoshi had a slight smile on his pale face, and then said "Ouch", pulling the wound on his back.

"Xiuyiwei's grandsons are really trying to kill them. They don't show affection at all."

Wu Mingda sneered and said, "What kind of relationship do you have with Xiuyiwei? Just for doing such a shitty thing to you, Xiuyiwei's attacking you is nothing."

Yaoshi Wu thought about it, and it really is too coincidental that they both collided with each other and were taken hostage.

On the other side, Fu Jinchuan, who came out of the East Palace, sent his son home, and then he returned to the Duke's Mansion. After greeting his mother, he went to the courtyard of his elder brother Fu Huaichuan.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

In the study, Fu Huaichuan was flipping through some account books, when he saw Fu Jinchuan coming in, he stood up to greet him, and there were several stewards and accountants in the mansion standing beside him.

"Sanlang is back. Let me take a look at this year's accounts. It's not the New Year's Eve. There are many things to do. You guys go down first."

"Mr. Saburo."

After a few stewards and accountants greeted Fu Jinchuan, they withdrew.

"Brother, I'm going today"

Then Fu Jinchuan talked about what happened today, Fu Huaichuan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then spoke after a long while.

"This incident also sounded a wake-up call for our Fu family. Although His Majesty often lives in the palace and lives in seclusion, the Imperial City Secretary is extremely well-informed. What kind of deeds can be done to deceive people? It's a dream. Aye said, Your majesty's strategy and wisdom are not inferior to the wise kings of all dynasties."

Fu Jinchuan nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Your Majesty is reprimanding these princes and princesses, and he is also beating us noble generals. After all, we are united. All the nobles in the capital will know what happened today, and they must restrain themselves. By the way, Sanlang, since you I was ordered to train the Jin army, so why not take Balang to the camp to practice for a few days, and the Imperial College has also rested for a few days, otherwise this kid will not be taught, I am afraid that he will cause some trouble in the future."

After hearing this, Fu Jinchuan nodded. "Okay, then let him live in the camp for a few days."

While talking here, Fu Balang rushed in, "Brother, can you ask the cashier to bring me some money? Third brother, you are here too."

Fu Huaichuan asked, "Why do you want money?"

Fu Balang said: "A friend of mine is sick. I plan to visit him and buy some snacks and fresh fruits. I can't come to the door empty-handed, can I?"

Seeing the doubtful expression of the eldest brother and third brother, Fu Balang continued, "Really, my friend heard that the injury was serious, and I don't know who made such a heavy hand. It's too much. I heard it don't come to bed anymore"

Fu Jinchuan smiled and said, "Your friend is not talking about Wu Yaoshi, is it?"

Fu Huaichuan also frowned slightly.

"Ah this uh...that"

Hachiro just wanted to say yes, but when he saw his elder brother's unfriendly expression, he remembered that his elder brother once warned him not to get too close to Prince Wu.
"That's not, it's not"

Fu Huaichuan sighed and said, "You go to the cashier to get a few taels of silver. When you come back, pack up your things and go to the camp with your third brother from tomorrow."

"Go to the military camp? Third brother, do you want to teach me skills?"

Fu Jinchuan nodded with a smile.

"Great, then I'll go to the eldest brother and the third brother first." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

After Balang left, Fu Jinchuan said solemnly, "Brother, you don't seem to forbid Balang to associate with Prince Yan's son."

After hearing this, Fu Huaichuan nodded without explaining, "This is his chance, and it can be regarded as leaving a way out for the Fu family."

"The back road? In the eyes of the eldest brother, what else can Yan Fan do?"

Fu Huaichuan did not answer this question, but changed the subject, "Sanlang, if you talk about military affairs, you are naturally better than me. When A Weng was alive, he said that you have the talent of a general. Let's not talk about military affairs today. You Do you know how much the imperial court earned last year?"

Fu Jinchuan shook his head, he was naturally not clear.

"Last year, the imperial court's annual income was 700 million guan, and the annual expenditure was 400 million guan. The previous year's annual income was 900 million guan, and the annual expenditure was 300 million guan. Year after year of deficits, it has been unable to make ends meet for several years.

"It's okay to go to Guanzhong all the way, because they are all military households, so the taxes are extremely low. Hebei, Lianghuai, and Jiangnan have had civil uprisings caused by tax resistance every year, but because the situation is not serious It didn't make much sense, and was suppressed by the court."

"I'm not optimistic about Yan Fan's success, and I also hope that the court can maintain it. After all, my Fu family is also a family of nobles who lived with the country."

Hearing what his elder brother said, Fu Jinchuan immediately remembered that his father had similar worries when he was in Hexi, but he did not explain the current predicament of the court so clearly like his elder brother.

Originally, in his opinion, the biggest confidant of the imperial court was Yan Fan, with a hundred thousand armors, dominating the throat of Liaodong.

But the words of his father and elder brother, as well as His Highness the Crown Prince's worries about the court's wealth, made him a little vigilant.

"You and I are flesh and blood brothers, so I can tell you these words with confidence. The Emperor Daojun is definitely a Mingjun, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also virtuous and outstanding, but the current prosperity of Beijing is not the whole picture of the world. Hachiro's actions today might change his life. You and my brother can live and die without regret. As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, let him make friends with anyone he wants."

After hearing this, Fu Jinchuan nodded, and also understood the good intentions of his elder brother.

But he said that Fu Balang went to the street with money, bought some fresh fruits and pastries, wrapped some snacks in oiled paper, and then ran back to Lurenfang in a hurry, but instead of going home, he slipped into the next-door Yan'an palace.

The guards of the palace naturally knew him, so they jumped all the way into Wu Yaoshi's yard.

"Thirteen, how is Lao Wu injured?"

Yin Shisan outside the door saw Fu Balang, and immediately thought of Fu Sanlang who beat him with a military stick, and turned his face away and ignored him.

"why do not you talk?"

Yin Shisan just wanted to get angry, but looked at Hachiro in front of him and held back. After all, even being hit by the [-]th army stick was not painful or itchy to him, and there was no need to compete with a child.But he was really angry, so he pointed to the door behind him.

Fu Balang looked at him, feeling a little confused, when he opened the door and went in, he happened to see Wu Yaoshi lying on the bed covered with a quilt.

"You say you, you really can't even see it at a glance, I just go out of the city for a day and you make something happen."

Yaoshi Wu, who felt better just after taking the medicine, began to be taught by Wu Mingda. He could only listen silently when something like this happened, but he never thought that Hachiro happened to see it.So he hurriedly coughed a few times, indicating that someone was coming.

"Cough cough cough."

Wu Mingda saw Fu Balang holding a string of paper bags in each hand, so he didn't continue talking, he had to save some face for his brother.

And Fu Balang is a young man she is familiar with, he often comes to play with Wu Yaoshi, he is a sincere young man with no scheming.

"Hello, Sister Wu. Old Wu, are you okay? When I came home just now, I saw the doctor come to your house. I only found out after inquiring that you were beaten. How did you get hurt? Did you report to the police? The murderer was caught. Is it? The officials in the Shangjing Mansion are not very useful. If you let them do something, you will know how to shirk. If you don’t catch anyone, I will talk to my third brother. My third brother’s talk on the Shangjing Road will work. By the way, I I brought you some fresh fruit, pastries, and your favorite miscellaneous chews."

Wu Yaoshi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Fu Balang's words, even Wu Mingda smiled and shook his head, thinking that although Fu Jiada Lang is as gentle as jade, he is extremely wise, and Fu Sanlang is a famous general in the country, with both wisdom and courage.They are also the sons of the Fu family, why is Fu Balang like this?
"It's okay, it's actually about it. I have a chance to tell you, why do you still come with something, the cost is not small, isn't your monthly money used up long ago?"

Pharmacist Wu can't say that I was whipped by His Majesty's order because I went to have a tryst with Hua Kui, and that your third brother should be imprisoned.

Moreover, Wu Yaoshi didn't mean to anger Hachiro at all, even Fu Sanlang, he didn't hate him, after all, he did the thing, and it was Emperor Daojun, his future father-in-law, who ordered to beat him. There's really nowhere to complain.

After hearing this, Hachiro patted his chest, "We Shangjing people have to be decent. How can we visit patients empty-handed? I asked for it specially from my elder brother. I'm relieved to see that you are fine."

Yaoshi Wu smiled, and even the wound on his back didn't hurt much.

"By the way, Lao Wu, I heard that you are about to get married, and you are still with Princess Heyang. Let me tell you, I have met Princess Heyang. Last year, the old lady of Changningbo Mansion celebrated her birthday. Princess Heyang and His Royal Highness King Qi also Going to celebrate his birthday, by the way, Changningbo Mansion, you know, it’s Princess Heyang’s ancestral home, I’ll go to dinner with my elder brother, it’s really pretty, just like the person in the painting.”

"Really?" Naturally, Wu Yaoshi had never met the princess whom he proposed to marry, but he became interested after hearing what Fu Balang said.

"When have I ever lied to you? Don't forget to reserve a seat for me when you have a wedding and dinner."

"As you said, no one can and cannot live without you."

"I knew you, Old Wu, were loyal enough. Let's not talk about it now. I'll go back after you recover from your wounds."

"What are you busy with, won't you stay for a while? Our two families are so close. What's the hurry?"

"Third brother will take me to the camp tomorrow. I will learn from him. I may become a famous general when I learn it. Then let me, Aye, make me a general. I will go first and wait for me to come back." See you again."

As soon as the words were left behind, Fu Balang ran away in a hurry.

Watching the boy leave, Wu Mingda sighed, then shook his head. "It's rare that a noble family like the British government can cultivate such a pure heart."

Pharmacist Wu smiled, sat up with force, then stretched out his hand to untie the paper bag, picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and looked at the other ones.

"Sure enough, Hachiro understands me. I was just about to eat these dishes, so he brought them."

The miscellaneous chews in Shangjing are not expensive, even if a few pastries are expensive, there are still more than a dozen kinds of food.These few bags of things may be enough for a few hundred dollars, and one or two taels of silver will not be needed.

Wu Yaoshi, who spends money like water all day long, may spend several hundred taels of silver for a visit to a brothel, and ten taels or 20 taels for rewarding people casually.

But those are not as valuable as the food that costs a few hundred dollars now.

Because this is the kindness given to him by his only friend in Shangjing.

This kindness is hard to buy.
