Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

The next morning, Wu Shigong welcomed a pair of strange guests.It is Tao Shi, the former wife of Qianhusuo, and her eldest son Tao Xin.That Tao Xin is the ten-year-old boy who will inherit the position of Qianhu six years later.

Wu Shigong originally decided, and it was also out of etiquette, that after he settled down, he wanted to visit the family members of Qianhu.

But now that Wu Shigong has just arrived at the Qianhu Office, and his buttocks are still hot, Tao Shi and Tao Xin can't wait to come to him.This behavior made Wu Shigong very strange.

After the two parties sat down and exchanged polite greetings, that Dow immediately revealed his true nature.A living vixen.Wu Shigong was even more strange.I have just arrived here, and I have not offended this Dow, so why does she treat herself with this attitude?

Finally, from Tao Shi's upside-down words, Wu Shigong finally understood the reason why Tao Shi came to find him.

It turned out that the death of Qianhu had not reached an agreement?This agreement has a tail problem that is not resolved.That is, there is still a gap of [-] shi for the money and food that the Thousand Households turned over to Li Bingbeidao this time.

And when that Dow returned to Qianhu, he remembered this incident.He also knew that Wu Shigong, the agent of Qianhu, had already arrived in the town.Therefore, today Wu Shigong must promise: If Li Bingbei came to ask for the thousand eight hundred shi of grain, Wu Shigong should bear it.

And that Dow, who was noisy and rowdy in the Bingbei Dao Yamen last time, probably tasted the sweetness.Therefore, whenever I met Wu Shigong today, I would act like a shrew.There is a big one: if Wu Shigong doesn't agree to come down today, Dow will turn upside down here.

After Wu Shigong understood, of course he would not agree to Tao's unreasonable troubles.Why should Wu Shigong bear the debts owed by the first thousand households?

However, at this moment and three moments, I can't tell clearly with the shrew Dow.Moreover, it cannot be opposed to that Tao's vicious words.Otherwise, it would not be nice to spread the reputation of bullying orphans and widows.Besides, Li Bingbeidao hasn't come to him to ask for the thousand eight hundred shi of grain.

Therefore, Wu Shigong vaguely agreed to Dow: wait until this happens.Finally persuaded that Dow to go back.

In the afternoon of that day, when Wu Shigong announced to the ten hundred households gathered together that he would conscript labor labor in the Qianhusuo and build the Qianhusuo fortress.These hundreds of households all have embarrassment on their faces.

Among the military households in the late Ming Dynasty, Baihu was actually equivalent to the role of some village chiefs.I don't get much benefit, but the tasks of collecting money, food and labor as required by the superiors are always to be completed by them.

And those folks in my hundred households always look up but don't look down, and it's hard to be cruel.Therefore, whenever the superiors collect money, food and labor, it is always a problem for these hundreds of households.

However, after hearing Wu Shigong announce that these labors will be deducted, half of the money and food will be handed over next year.The expressions of these hundreds of households relaxed.In this case, the work of conscripting labor will be much easier.Therefore, it was decided: three days later, these hundred households gathered at the fortress of Qianhusuo with the collected labor.

Therefore, when Wu Shigong invited these hundreds of households to drink at night, it was a joyous experience.Wu Shigong took advantage of the good atmosphere, and then announced to those hundreds of households that he would select [-] soldiers for his labor service.

Those hundreds of households still don't know that Wu Shigong will pay these soldiers.Therefore, while laughing with Wu Shigong, on the other hand, he thought in his heart: "This young acting agent Qianhu is really naive. He will be recruited on merit. At that time, who will be willing to be a soldier?"

Wu Shigong didn't know.On this day, Wu Shigong's father-in-law Xue Lian was also suffering.

When Emperor Chongzhen drove the Hakka family out of the palace, it was actually a test of Wei Zhongxian and a signal to the court.

Wei Zhongxian didn't respond to this.In other words, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to react.On the contrary, in the court hall, impeachment memorials against Wei Zhongxian appeared sporadically.Although Emperor Chongzhen's current attitude towards these memorials is basically to stay in the middle and not send them out, people in Wei Zhongxian's party gradually panicked.

And Xue Lian was already in the palace, begging Emperor Chongzhen for three days on his knees.However, even though Emperor Chongzhen made Xue Lian kneel like this, he refused to meet Xue Lian.

It is raining today.Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and asked Wang Chengen who was standing beside him, "Wang Banban, is Xue Lian still there and refuses to leave?"

Wang Chengen quickly stepped forward and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, then Yang Wuhou is still kneeling in the rain."

"Why are you so shameless?" Emperor Chongzhen became angry, and he shouted: "It's a good thing that Xue Lian came out of the royal father's mansion, but he flattered Wei Zhongxian so much that he didn't even have the backbone to be a man. Let He is kneeling like this. I will never see him."

"The emperor is wise." Wang Chengen quickly said with a smile, "The Marquis of Yangwu was still thinking about blackmailing the emperor with that bitter trick. Now he is asking for trouble. He can no longer kneel, he can only lean on his waist It's on the ground."

Wang Chengen's words touched Emperor Chongzhen's nerves all of a sudden, and he remembered that Xue Lian broke his waist just for him.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "I am not a merciless person. Wang Banban, you go outside and say to Xue Lian: Let him go back to his Yangwuhou's mansion, and he will be fine in the future." Don't come out. I don't want to see him again."

When Wang Chengen announced the imperial edict in front of Xue Lian, the young eunuchs and palace guards hurried into the rain and lifted Xue Lian up to the waiting carriage outside the palace, Yangwuhou Mansion.

The moment he lifted it up, Xue Lian gave Wang Chengen a grateful look.Wang Chengen also remained calm, and gestured to Xue Lian with eyes that the people next to him couldn't see at all.

A few days ago, Xue Lian sent someone to send 5000 taels of silver to Wang Chengen.The request is: let Wang Chengen mention it to Emperor Chongzhen at an appropriate time, as long as the lives of Xue Lian's family, old and young, are saved.

Today, Wang Chengen can be said to have overfulfilled the task.Emperor Chongzhen just put Xue Lian under house arrest in his own home.Even Xue Lian's title of Marquis of Yangwu was preserved.

Xue Lian thought in his heart: "When I go back, I will give Wang Chengen another generous gift."

When Xue Lian was carried home, she was placed on the bed and lay down.Mrs. Zhang on the side burst into tears, and Xue Lian herself was also in tears.

However, when Xue Yufei, the daughter who got the news, entered the house with the maid who was holding Xue Chenglin, a smile appeared on Xue Lian's face immediately.

Xue Lian asked the girl who was holding Xue Chenglin to come to the bed.Xue Lian stretched out his hand, touched the gadget in Xue Chenglin's open pants, and smiled happily.He said: "It's worth it, it's all worth it. Finally, it's all saved."

Sighing, Xue Lian went on to say, "Sending Shigong out of Beijing seems to be the right thing to do now. I hope he's all right locally."
