Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 31: Physician Hu’s Diagnosis and Mental Cultivation Hall Ban Bowen Donates Poison Crane Shoutout Hall (2)
"Hey! Who told me that my family is poor? If I'm poor, I'll be worthless. I'm just like the kid in the imperial teahouse. I've lost my time!" Liu Hua sighed. What I said just now is that I am so fucking uncomfortable. I don’t celebrate New Year’s Eve, and I don’t get rewards to drink without permission, and that board beats me so hard!” He drank the wine again.

Wei Dongting refilled the wine for him with a smile, and said: "Of course, Yipin is in the Grand Master's residence, can there be no rules?" Liu Hua hadn't had a drink for a long time, and today he had no restraint when he was pregnant, so he drank another glass.Hearing what Wei Dongting said, he stared at Wei Dongting with a sneer and said, "Rules? What rules does he have! Civil and military officials let him set the rules, but in the minister's mansion, the Xiangpo sets the rules. If it wasn't for his wife, who would know that he would come up with rules? What do you look like!" Although Liu Hua blushed when he drank alcohol, he actually drank a lot.After drinking a few cups of thirst-quenching wine, he persuaded Wei Dongting, "Come on! Why don't you let me drink it alone, you come too!"

Wei Dongting quickly drank with a smile, filled two more cups, and said, "Drink——Zhongtang is a master of Taoism, and he is afraid of his wife?"

"Haha!" Liu Hua said, "He's a good man? Five aunts, the wife doesn't talk, he doesn't even dare to touch her, let alone steal. The wife is a good person—that's the only thing that's not good—a few days ago Nian Murima snatched a busking girl, hey! That's amazing!"

This obviously refers to Jianmei, Wei Dongting's heart moved, and he hurriedly took a chicken leg to Liu Hua, and asked curiously: "What's the best way?"

"The girl got off the sedan chair in the second hall," Liu Hua swallowed with a "squeak" while picking up the cup, tearing a piece of chicken leg and chewing, "After getting off the sedan chair, she went straight to the back hall.

"She searched for her own way, and after wandering around for a long time, she found Oboi's wife, Mrs. Rong. She knelt down with a 'gudong', crying, talking, cursing, how to rob, how to force, how could she have a family, and said He swallowed his breath.

"The old woman was so angry that her face turned blue. Just when Ao Zhongtang came, the old woman spat on her face and scolded: "You are the one on the left and the one on the right is a yellow-flowered girl who spoils others. After death, be careful to go to Abi Hell!" The girl said: "You just serve me here, you can't suffer from him!" Even talking and scolding made Ao Zhongtang dizzy, and then called Murima up to scold him, and then it was over."

Wei Dongting breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What about later?"

Liu Hua got up and poured a glass of wine for Wei Dongting, drank it up first, and said with a smile while pouring: "Who cares about his mother's account later, I heard that this girl will stay in the Taijun's room , you say his family rules? - Even the emperor dares to ruin it!"

Wei Dongting saw that his tongue was twirling, he was already drunk, he planned to end the scene, but when he heard this, he got up and poured wine for him again, and said with a smile: "Zhongtang is an important minister, how can such a thing happen?"

But Liu Hua heard "respect" as "loyalty". With red eyes with a slightly sly look, he stared at Wei Dongting with a smirk and said, "Loyal minister! Loyal... I don't want to wait for the knife..." Liu Hua's eyes were squinted, and he let out a long sigh before leaning on the chair and not moving.

Wei Dongting pushed Liu Hua, he was so drunk that he passed out, so he crossed his arms and left the shop.He took his own horse and sent it to the entrance of an alley in front of Obai Mansion.He shook Liu Hua again, Liu Hua moved, raised his head and said: "No, it's too bad...I'll invite you to another day!" Seeing that he was still awake, Wei Dongting hurriedly asked: "Do you have a bosom friend in the mansion?" Is it?"

"I... I have friends everywhere! Xiao Qi, Xiao Zengzi..." Liu Hua struggled, and was a little confused again, "Call them all! I... I don't believe in pouring—I can't pour them down..."

Wei Dongting left Liu Hua behind, went to the concierge of the Ao Mansion alone and asked, "Are you there, Xiao Qi and Xiao Zengzi?" The concierge looked Wei Dongting over and asked, "Your Excellency, do you know them?" Wei Dongting said, "I don't know them. A friend sent me a message."

The porter smiled and said, "I am Xiao Zengzi, just tell me." Wei Dongting whispered a few words to him, and Xiao Zengzi stamped his feet and said, "Hey, you can't get rid of that bastard!" Then he followed Wei Dongting to the horse and helped him off. Liu Hua picked up his back, smiled and said to Wei Dongting: "Thank you for your care, my lord. If you want to meet the crooked tiger, he will be beaten hard. - I have to go in through the side door and find an empty house to live in. I can talk when I am sober." Alright." After saying that, he turned around and left.

After this incident, Wei Dongting thought a lot. He knew that Jianmei was smart when she was young, and now she seems to be more and more clever.I'm afraid even Shi Longbiao may not know about the situation of entering the mansion!Suddenly thinking of Jianmei's refusal to pass on any news to him all these years, he felt chills again, as Shi Longbiao did at the beginning, he embraced the purpose of "restoring his eyesight", how should he deal with it?According to Liu Hua's tone, several of his friends and that so-called "crooked tiger" are not the same way.Since then, I have another idea in my heart.

Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed in a blink of an eye.The capital is already full of yellow leaves, and thousands of trees are sparse.During this period of time, apart from quietly sneaking to Suo'etu's mansion every day to listen to Wu Ciyou's commentary on "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", Kangxi took Wei Dongting and his gang to fight cocks, practice Buku riding and shooting, talk about boxing and kicking, and even Catching fireflies, catching crickets, and ignoring government affairs.This made a group of upright courtiers dumbfounded, but secretly wondered: "Why is the holy learning advancing day by day, is it really a gift from heaven and god?" On the surface, Oboi was on good terms with Emperor Kangxi, and he often came in to ask for instructions when encountering big or small government affairs, but Seeing that Kangxi was lazy as soon as he heard the business, he just smiled and retreated.

Oboi has a habit that cannot be changed. After dealing with political affairs in the morning, no matter whether it is winter or summer, he has to take a nap at noon, and then practice boxing and kicking in the back garden, and then go to the study to read.

This day after practicing, just picked up the book, saw Bumble came in with a happy face, arched his hands and said: "Congratulations to Zhongtang!" Shan smiled and took out a mulberry paper bag from his bosom, and peeled it off layer by layer, "Look at Zhongtang, if you want to achieve great things, you have to rely on it!"

"Is it borneol? Buzhongyiqi powder?" Obai looked at it and said with a smile, "What's so rare about it, I'll give you ten catties tomorrow!" As he said that, he wanted to reach out his hand curiously.Bumbleshan hurriedly waved his hands to stop him: "I can't move!" Oboi couldn't help being stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Why, this is—"

Bumbleshan carefully rewrapped the medicine and put it on the case.Seeing that there was no one around, he winked and said with a playful smile: "It is a perfect pair with Buzhong Yiqi San, it is a chasing soul pill! But it is slow-acting, and it will take seven or eight days to take effect." .Look, it doesn’t change color in wine—isn’t it a treasure!”

Obai already fully understood what he meant.He didn't mention this matter for many days, but he felt at ease, but when he suddenly mentioned it again, he couldn't help feeling flustered.Surprised by Bumblesan's perseverance, he paused for a moment before asking, "Where did you get it?"

"It was refined according to the ancient book." Bumbleshan sat down and squinted his eyes at Oboi. "The real name of this pill is Bainiaoshuang. It was originally a medicine used by Taoist alchemy - sweeping thousands of catties of bird droppings in the mountains, Put it into water and filter it, steam it nine times and dry it nine times to get this highly poisonous product. Just this one grain, let you be an iron wall, let you be a prince and grandson, discipline him, and his dreams will never last!" He was very proud, and said a few words casually The play in "The Big Open Coffin".

Aobai's heart jumped wildly, but he refused to show it on his face, he just said lightly: "Put this here first, it may not make it work, I have a more brilliant plan."

Seeing that Oboi didn't pay much attention to him, Bumble was a bit disappointed.While repacking the medicine, he asked: "Zhongtang, what magic method do you have, why don't you show me one or two?" Ao Bai said with a smile: "The third child studies in Suofu every day, and I have found it out. You see, How about this opportunity?" Bumbleshan pondered: "It's good, I'm afraid he was on guard. Wei Dongting's martial arts is very high, and he never leaves it every day. It's not easy to do things in secret; what's the matter tomorrow? It's better to search the minister's mansion You just have to figure it out!" The two were talking, when they saw Jianmei come in with a tea tray, they covered their mouths.

Jianmei came in and saw the two sitting on a grand chair smoking a cigarette, lightly placed a cup of tea in front of the two adults, put the paper bag on the table in the tray and was about to leave.Aobai hurriedly said: "Suqiu, you can put this paper bag here." Jianmei agreed with "Yes", still put the paper bag on the table, bowed and walked out.

Bumble watched Jianmei's beautiful figure go away, and said, "This girl can't even hear a sound when she walks."

One word reminded Oboi, and he couldn't help being surprised: "She has lightness kung fu!" I heard that at the beginning of that year, Shi Jianmei broke into the back hall, and several strong women couldn't stop her.He had teased her several times, and he seemed to feel erratic during the tugging - the more he thought about it, the more real it became, and he couldn't help being startled.Seeing his blank look, Bumble asked: "Zhongtang, what are you thinking?" Obai said: "The thief's step is the lightest!"

This sentence coincided with Bumbleshan's thoughts, he looked left and right, leaned up to Oboi and said: "Zhongtang's housekeeping is very strict, I know it, but—"

Aobai glanced at him and said, "Tell me."

Bumble said hesitantly: "I'm just wondering, last time we had a discussion in the flower hall, it was so secret, how could it spread in the mansion?" Obai was shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on.Bumbleshan then told Aobai about the girl's conversation he had heard by the willow bushes.

Aobai gritted his teeth and said nothing for a long time, then said for a long time, "I can do it myself, it won't be a big deal."

The two continued to discuss major issues.According to Bumbleshan's intention, the mansion of So'etu should be searched out of the blue, and anyone caught would be killed.Then the crime of regicide can also be added to Suo'etu.That's really ironclad evidence - because people died in his house!
"Okay!" Aobai giggled, he admired Bumble's resourcefulness and determination, but if he agreed, he would appear incompetent, so he said, "But if the sneak attack fails, you and I will be nestless birds. There is only one step away from the ghost under the knife. So I think, first, we must see the net before we get out; second, we must not learn from the unknown, even if it fails, there is a way out. Before that, we can get rid of Wei Dongting. The little bastard is the best!"

The plan was indeed well thought out, and Bumble kindly agreed.
