scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 17

"Miss Gege." Seeing Shang Kexi's daughter coming out, the guard surnamed Yu hurried forward, nodded and bowed and said: "Miss Gege, it's nothing serious, even if Prince Pingxi sent someone to visit our prince, it turned out that the gate of the inner city The officials don't have eyes, and they want to get them some money to buy the road."

As he said that, the guard surnamed Yu briefly introduced what he saw and heard just now, and the city gate officer naturally shouted for grievances, and kowtowed at the cold girl repeatedly, wailing with snot and tears, "Madam Gege, please forgive me. Madam Gege, please forgive me! The younger one is a little troublesome to the people sent by Prince Pingxi, but the younger one dares to swear with his head that he never said anything about extorting 50 taels of road money! Madam Gege, the younger one knows that you have the best heart, You must save the life of the little one, there are old and young and there are young ones, if the prince hears these framing, the little family will die!"

As he said that, the city gate officer kowtowed repeatedly until his forehead bled, and cried so much that the sky and the earth turned pale, and the sun and the moon were dimmed, but the cold girl still had no expression on her face, and her eyes could not see the slightest wave.Seeing this scene, our County Magistrate Lu couldn't help snorting in his heart, saying that he really deserves to be the daughter of the old traitor Shang Kexi who caused the Guangzhou Massacre. A big man kneeled in front of him and cried like this, and even his eyelids were so dark. Don't blink, what is a heart of stone?This is a heart of stone!

Lengheng returned to Lengheng, County Magistrate Lu, who had been displeased with the city gate official from the very beginning, would not miss such an opportunity to beat the dog in the water, so he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply to the cold girl, and tried his best to pose He thought that he was the most handsome, sunny and able to hook up with girls from good families, so he said politely: "Lu Yifeng, the humble official, met the Princess Pingnan Wang. I have heard what the door official said just now. I didn't mean to destroy it deliberately. The harmony between the Pingxi Palace and the Pingnan Palace, I just hope that the princess can truthfully report what happened in front of the city gate to the Pingnan Prince, so that the prince can know that the people from the Pingxi Palace have no intention of offending the Pingnan Palace. Yes. If the prince still thinks that the subordinate is unreasonable, then no matter whether the prince is beating or killing, the subordinate will not frown. Of course, if the prince thinks that the subordinate has done nothing wrong, the subordinate will never make things difficult for the family. My lord, this matter can be regarded as never having happened."

"Lord Lu." The cold girl finally spoke, her voice was clear and pleasant, but her tone was as cold as her temperament, "If you want this door official's life, just say so, and there is no need to use a little girl as a saber."

"Princess, what do you mean by that?" County Magistrate Lu's sinister intentions were exposed by the girl's words, and he couldn't help being very embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and pretend to be confused.The cold girl also showed some disgust, and asked coldly: "Master Lu, this city gate official, as my father's subordinate, has humiliated my father in front of you people in the Pingxi Palace, can my father not kill him?" He vented his anger? Isn't your lord's intentions too vicious?"

"Princess Princess, it can't be so serious, right?" County Magistrate Lu's fat face turned red again.The cold girl no longer bothered to pay any attention to the brazen magistrate Lu, turned to the city gate official who was desperately begging for mercy, and said, "You are corrupt and extorting bribes, and your crime is unforgivable. Since Ben Gege has come across this incident, I have to dismiss you from your post." As a punishment—go home immediately, pack up your things, and leave Guangdong with your wife and children.”

"Miss Xie Gege, Mistress Xie Gege. Mistress Gege, you really are the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who came to the world, and you have a heart." The city gate official was overjoyed when he was dismissed, and kowtowed desperately to the cold girl, crying loudly in thanks.The cold girl said again, "Let's go now, if the father loses his temper, I won't be able to save you."

After all, the cold girl didn't even look at County Magistrate Lu, she turned around and got back into the carriage, and ordered the team to enter the city. Full of hatred, he glared at the magistrate Lu with a vicious look, and immediately scrambled home to pack his luggage and flee for his life.Seeing this scene, County Magistrate Lu felt a little more confident, and thought: "It seems that it is gratifying that the old traitor not only kills his compatriots a lot, but he will never be merciful to those who make mistakes, otherwise If so, such a trivial matter would require the whole family to flee for their lives? But then again, the old traitor is pretty good at cheating on this daughter—it’s just that he’s too blind. Standing in front of me, a handsome guy like me, doesn’t even move his heart? Could it be that this girl is naturally frigid?!"

"It's really pitiful for such a good girl to suffer from such a mental illness." The chubby magistrate Lu said shamelessly in his heart: "But it doesn't matter, as long as I have the chance to meet her again and spend three minutes alone with her, I will definitely be able to Help her cure this problem."

After all these twists and turns, the gang of guards at the gates of the inner city of Guangzhou did not dare to make things difficult for Lu Yifeng and his party anymore, and the county magistrate of Lu Da was finally able to enter the magnificent inner city of Guangzhou under the hatred eyes of the guards. He was planning to go to Pingnan Palace to hand over Wu Sangui's letter to ask for an interview, and to eat, drink, and stay at will.But it was only at this moment that Lu Da County Magistrate was surprised to find that in the inner city of Guangzhou, there were actually two equally luxurious and majestic Pingnan Palaces. After careful inquiry, he found out that one of the two palaces It was originally the palace of Jingnan King Geng Jimao, and the two kings jointly ruled Guangdong. However, because Geng Jimao was impeached by the Ministry of War by Yang Yongjian, the Manchu Qing court took the opportunity to split Geng and Shang, and transferred Geng Jimao to Sichuan Dingfan, and later changed it to Guangxi was finally changed to Fujian. Geng Jimao spent countless manpower and material resources to build a luxurious mansion, which was naturally cheaper. .

After figuring this out, a new problem was put in front of our Fatty Lu County Magistrate Lu, who should we call on first?Visiting Shang Kexi, given the bad relationship between Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, not only the chances of being rejected are extremely high, but also directly persuading Shang Kexi to be the first bird to write to the Qing court to ask for a salary increase, and to persuade Wu Sangui to form an alliance to fight against the Qing court. There is little hope left.If you visit Shang Zhixin directly, with Shang Zhixin's ambition and historical response to Wu Sangui's anti-Qing performance, there is some hope in persuading him to respond to Wu Sangui and even establish an alliance, but in this way, our Fatty Lu County Magistrate Lu The method was explained to Kong Sizhen—with that female traitor's vicious heart and superb skills, once we find out that our Fatty Lu County Magistrate Lu is cheating on her, no one will know what will happen to our Fatty Lu County Magistrate Lu. I can't tell.So after much deliberation, the county magistrate Lu finally made up his mind, "Let's go and meet that old traitor Shang Kexi first, or let the eyeliner of that bitch Kong Sizhen find out that I didn't go to see the old traitor at all, I'm sure There's going to be trouble again."

At this point, the county magistrate Lu hurriedly asked Ming Shang Kexi where the old prince's mansion was, and then rushed all the way there. Came to the main entrance of Pingnan Palace.Coincidentally, when Magistrate Lu arrived at the gate, he happened to see the cold girl get off the carriage with the help of the maid. Magistrate Lu saw that the opportunity was rare, so he rushed forward. He was very polite and very polite. Charm smiled at the cold girl, cupped her hands and said: "Mistress of the princess, I am lucky to have to see the beauty of the lady of the princess again. The humble post is bold, and I want to ask the lady of the princess to report to the prince, saying that she is the king of Pingxi." Special envoy Lu Yifeng kowtows."

Our Fatty Lu, County Magistrate Lu, has a suave and suave posture, and his affectionate eyes can make all the young girls in the world fall in love with him—at least that's what County Magistrate Lu himself thinks.But it's a pity that the cold girl didn't see the affectionate eyes of our county magistrate Lu, nor heard the magnetic voice of the magistrate Lu, and went straight into the gate of the palace without even glancing at the corner of her eyes. The county magistrate Lu who left us bowed to the ground was bent over in a daze, extremely embarrassed.Seeing this scene, Xiao Erlang, Kong Fanlin, Luo Kedi and other unscrupulous servants and guards couldn't help laughing, Xiao Erlang, who has always been mean-spirited, even ran to Lu Da County Magistrate to beat him up: "Master Feng, save your energy!" Well, she is the princess princess, it’s not that you seduced those yellow-faced women in Dali Mansion before—the brothers and I made a bet just now, no one would dare to bet on you to seduce the princess princess... Ouch!"

"Stop talking nonsense, she must have been thinking about something just now, so she didn't see me or hear me." Lu Da County Magistrate blushed and knocked Xiao Erlang violently again, and shouted angrily: "It's still What are you doing in a daze? Why don’t you go over with General Kong and hand him a stab at the door, begging to see him?”

Xiao Erlang held his head and smirked. Seeing that the magistrate of Lu Da raised his fat hand and was about to hit his head again, he hurried over to drag Kong Fanlin and ran to Pingnan Palace to hand over the famous assassin to see him.Fortunately, the guards of the Pingnan Palace did not deliberately make things difficult this time, and sent them directly to the Pingnan Palace with the official defense and famous stabs, but when the guards entered, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no movement for a long time. People waited outside the Pingnan Palace from You hour to Xu hour, from the sun to the west until it was completely dark, but they didn't wait for the slightest reply. Unfamiliar, she kept looking around, and muttered: "Is this Pingnan Palace deeper than our Pingxi Palace? But even if it is so deep, it should take more than an hour to come out and give an answer, right?"

"Damn it, are the great people of this era so airy? It was the same when I visited Wu Sangui last time, and it was the same when I visited Shang Kexi this time. Do you have to force me to give Old Shang a blood test before someone will come out? See me?" The county magistrate Lu was also waiting impatiently, but he had no choice but to curse Shang Kexi's family for a terrible death, while swallowing his anger and waiting patiently with a hungry stomach.

………………

In fact, the magistrate of Lu County really misunderstood the old traitor Shang this time. This time, the old traitor Shang really did not put on airs and refused to give an answer to the magistrate of Lu Da, but the guards sent the famous assassin and official defense of the magistrate of Lu Da to the palace. At that time, the old traitor Shang was reciting sutras and burning incense in the Buddhist hall in the back garden. The old traitor Shang did not believe in Buddhism before, but he did too many immoral things, so he fell in love with it in his later years. The gods and Buddhas want to accumulate some yin virtues for themselves, so that after kicking their legs, they can be reincarnated in a princely family and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.It is also because of this that the famous assassin and official defense of the magistrate of Lu County were not immediately sent to the traitor Shang Lao.

"Dang, Dang, Dang——" at the second quarter of Xu time, with the three chime sounds of the presiding monk Dan Gui, the abbot of the Pingnan Wangfu's family temple, the old traitor Shang finally finished his day's prayers, put down the wooden fish Buddhist scriptures, stood up, cleaned his hands, and strode forward Step out of the Buddhist hall and prepare to eat.As soon as he left the Buddhist hall, Jin Guang, the number one aide in the old traitor's shogunate, came forward to welcome him, and asked with a smile, "My lord, what experience do you have after reading the Buddhist scriptures for three hours?"

"Of course." The old man Shang laughed and said, "Today, Master Dangui told me the story of the Buddha cutting up the flesh and feeding the eagle. I was touched a lot after listening to it. Only then did I realize that if you want to become a Buddha after death, you have to Cutting off human flesh to feed the eagle, so this king has decided that every day from now on, he will kill a person and feed the meat to the eagle. After a hundred years, this king will be able to become a Buddha immediately. Haha, hahahahahaha..."

"Kill one person every day to feed the eagle?" Jin Guang was a little dumbfounded, and after realizing it, he quickly flattered and said, "My lord, it's the truth. The harrier and the hawk can kill one person a day to feed the hawk, and it can save a lot of money on buying meat."

"That's right. Now that the Qing court has made a new decision, the treasury has huge expenditures. We have to save some money for the court." The old man Shang couldn't close his mouth with a treacherous smile, and asked casually: "Mr. Jin, when I meditate, Is there anything going on in the palace?"

"There are three things. One is that the person who accompanied the son (Shang Zhixin) to Huizhou to inspect military affairs sent news." Jin Guang replied in a low voice: "The son is over there, and killed two more people who are here and the court. The leader of the salary is using the excuse of delaying the military plane."

"You bastard, you are stupider than a pig. You really think that the Guangdong army is our Shang family's soldiers?" The old man Shang frowned and cursed, and said angrily in a low voice: "Those two Huizhou assistant leaders are quietly at the court. I knew about the salary half a year ago. If I really want to do it, I have to wait until now? I just kept them on purpose to let the court know my loyalty to the emperor, so that the court would not suspect me like Wu Sangui, that old immortal. Now it’s okay. Now, kill these two assistant leaders, I don't know what kind of tricks the court should play!"

"What the lord said is very true. When the son comes back from Huizhou, the lord should have a good talk with him." Jin Guang echoed, and said: "There are two other small things. Gege went to Yaowang Nunnery to offer incense and came back. According to the guards who went with her, Wan Gege once again quietly begged the host to allow her to shave her hair and become a nun. The host remembered your warning, my lord, and dared not agree."

"This dead girl really doesn't look like I was born to a daughter!" The old traitor Shang cursed again in a low voice, and said with some emotion: "But it's not bad, this can be regarded as her filial piety. I have more than 100 children. She is the most filial." After that, the old traitor Shang ordered again: "Have someone prepare a table of vegetarian food, and then send someone to pass on Wanyi, asking her to accompany me to have dinner, and I will persuade this dead girl by the way."

"Yes, I will send someone to make arrangements." Jin Guang agreed again, and said, "There is one last thing, Wu Sangui sent someone here. It is a prefect who is going to Beijing to meet as usual. What is the name of Lu Yifeng's Yunnan?" The local people took Wu Sangui's official defense guide and said that they wanted to see you, the lord, and presented a letter personally written by Wu Sangui's old man to you, the lord."

Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui were at odds all their lives, and their relationship was extremely bad. In history, when Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi led his troops to harass Wu Sangui's rear many times, and fought with Wu Sangui's army many times, and finally angered Wu Sangui to separate a main force Invading into Guangdong, eating up six of the ten counties in Guangdong in one go, forcing the old traitor Shang to almost commit suicide, and finally Shang Zhixin also rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui's army spared the life of the old traitor Shang, precisely because In this way, Jin Guang, who is the traitorous staff member of the old man, of course will not be so polite to Wu Sangui.However, when the old traitor Shang heard Wu Sangui's name, his reaction was far stronger than that of Jin Guang, and he immediately roared furiously: "Tell that Yunnan barbarian surnamed Lu to get out! Get out of Guangzhou overnight! If he is still in Guangzhou tomorrow, I will immediately take his head and give it to the court!"

"My lord, wait a minute." Jin Guang hurriedly stopped him, and then said darkly: "My lord, the students know that the person you hate the most in your life is that old bastard Wu Sangui, but because of this, the students think that you should meet this Lu Yifeng." See."

"Why?" The old traitor Shang asked angrily.Jin Guang said with a sinister smile: "My lord, the old Wu Sangui has never dealt with you. I have never had any correspondence with you, let alone the slightest contact. This time I suddenly sent someone to contact the lord. It must have something to do with the recent rumors of a salary reduction in the court. My lord. Why don't you take this opportunity to give Wu Sangui a hard time? In this way, my lord, you will not only disgust this old man Wu Sangui, but also let the court know whether your lord is loyal or not?"

"What do you mean? If Wu Sangui's letter contains any unfaithful or unfilial words, I will take the opportunity to hand over his letter to the court?" Shang Kexi pondered: "However, with that old man's treachery, how could he put it in the letter?" Leave such words up and down, leaving real evidence?"

"What the prince said is very true. With Wu Sangui's treachery, it is impossible to produce real evidence." Jin Guang's smile became more treacherous, and he said with a treacherous smile: "But the emissary of Wu Sangui, Lu Yifeng, is not a living witness? If the prince Isn't it a great achievement for you to have received him, to have a little flirtation with him, to say something unfavorable to Wu Sangui out of his mouth, and then to take him to the court?"

"Brilliant plan!" The old traitor Shang, who longed for disgusting Wu Sangui for a long time, slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Okay, let Mr. Jin do as he says, quickly, send someone to send him in, and the king will receive him while eating! "

Note: Shang Kexi’s eagle and dog house is not a fiction. It is located in Houloufang Street, Guangzhou, and it is divided into four major places: insect house, bird house, eagle house, and dog house.In addition, the fact that Shang Kexi’s young daughter shaved her hair and became a nun is not a fiction. Shang Kexi’s young daughter voluntarily shaved her hair and became a nun because her father killed too many people. Wang Gu'an.
