Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 70 Leaving the capital

Ever since she found out that Wu Shigong was going to leave the capital, Xue Yufei clung to Wu Shigong every night and hardly let him sleep.Wu Shigong also tried his best to satisfy Xue Yufei.

Although the letter of appointment stated that Wu Shigong only needs to take office before the end of the year, but Wu Shigong seized all the time to organize everything and leave the capital as soon as possible.But even so, it took Wu Shigong nearly half a month to prepare all of this.

During this period, Wu Shigong also went back to the Wu Mansion, wanting to say goodbye to his father Wu Weizhong.But father Wu Weizhong didn't even let Wu Shigong enter the gate.Wu Shigong had no choice but to kowtow three times outside the gate as farewell.

But as soon as Wu Shigong left, the servant next to the eldest brother Wu Shili quietly grabbed him and gave Wu Shigong a package.It contained 200 taels of silver for Wu Shigong, and a letter from his elder brother Wu Shili from the governor of Jining Prefecture in the same year, asking Wu Shigong to hand it to the governor of Jining Prefecture when he passed by Jining Prefecture.

Xue Lian had already handed in his resignation, but according to the usual practice, Emperor Chongzhen had to keep him one after another.However, both sides are very clear about these formalisms.Therefore, Xue Lian has been resting at home these days.

And Wu Shigong also wanted to know as much as possible about Henan Guide.But in modern times, Wu Shigong had never heard of Henan Guide at all.So Wu Shigong decided to look for a map.But what surprised Wu Shigong was that he couldn't find any maps on the market, not even a tourist map.After understanding it, I realized that in the Ming Dynasty, the people were not allowed to have any maps at all.The reason is still the same - fear of rebellion.In desperation, Wu Shigong was ready to make a blind man feel an elephant.

After more than ten days of preparation, Wu Shigong finally decided to set off.The night before departure, Xue Yufei personally prepared luggage for Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong saw that the inner armor and the bottle... the secret recipe of the palace in the box where the luggage was placed! ?

Xue Yufei confessed to Wu Shigong that not only Wu Shigong's personal maid, Xiuzhu, but also Zhuyun accompanied Wu Shigong to Guidee, Henan.

Wu Shigong himself also brought a set of Japanese samurai swords, as well as the two pistols he retrieved from the room where he was about to escape, as his self-defense weapons.

On September [-]nd, when the genius was twilight, Wu Shigong was ready to set off.Because the news released by the Xue family was: Wu Shigong had an affair with a wild woman outside, so the Xue family drove him out of the capital.Therefore, the family can only say goodbye in Xue's residence.

Xue Yufei stood beside the sleeping Xue Chenglin with tears in her arms.Wu Shigong thought to himself: The only impression that Xue Chenglin left on him was that he was sound asleep.

Zhu Yun's mother also gave Zhu Yun thousands of exhortations.Occasionally looking at Wu Shigong's eyes, Wu Shigong always felt like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Wu Shigong kowtowed several times to Xue Lian and Mrs. Zhang, and suddenly couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and hugged Xue Lian, and shouted to Xue Lian and Mrs. Zhang, "Dad! Mom!"

Suppressing his sadness, Wu Shigong walked out of Xue's residence.Because Xue Lian no longer needed so many guards around him, Xue Lian sent Xue Yongli out and asked him to lead the forty guards of Xue's residence, plus Xue Yong led the twelve guards, together Follow Wu Shigong to Guide, Henan, and guard Wu Shigong.

The guards of the Xue residence joined the guards of the casino, and the group finally set off.They walked on the deserted street.When approaching Xuanwu Gate, several people who were disaster victims recognized Wu Shigong, and they saluted Wu Shigong one after another.Wu Shigong thought to himself: "The common people really don't have high demands on the government. I have done such things for them, and they will always remember them in their hearts. I wish them all the best when Li Zicheng enters Beijing."

When Wu Shigong passed Xuanwu Gate on horseback, he happened to meet Dong Yun who was walking with his grandson in the early morning.Dong Yun and his grandson saluted Wu Shigong together, and Wu Shigong also nodded to Dong Yun.

When Wu Shigong and his party walked away, Dong Yun's grandson asked Dong Yun: "Grandpa, who is that?"

Dong Yun replied to his grandson, "Remember him, he is the underground king of Nancheng."

Wu Shigong kept riding forward.After walking a long way, Wu Shigong suddenly reined in the horse and stopped the horse.He turned his head and looked at the Xuanwu Gate Tower in the distance.Looked for a long time, a long time.Suddenly, he remembered a line from "Shanghai Beach".Wu Shigong revised it a bit, and shouted loudly: "There is everything in the morning, and nothing in the evening. This is the city of Beijing!"
