"Shi Lang really betrayed our Qing Dynasty again and took refuge in Taiwan's Zheng Ni again? Is it possible?"

When Zu Zepu and Liu Bingzheng saw the letter found from Fu Honglie's body, they complained so much that they regretted it so badly that their guts almost turned green. head.Geng Jingzhong, the eldest son of King Jingnan, was different. He was so happy as if he had found a treasure!So much so that Geng Jingzhong didn't even have time to continue investigating the details of the attack on Shang Wanyi's team. Regardless of the tiredness of the journey, he pushed the mission to Zu Zepu and Liu Bingzheng, and rushed back to Fuzhou with Shi Lang on the same day, and then couldn't wait He called his father's current King of Jingnan, Geng Jimao, into the secret room, and handed this letter to his father.

But after reading the letter, Geng Jimao asked calmly: "Is the content of this letter true? Could this be Taiwan's Zheng Ni's countermeasures? You just rely on such a letter without asking Xin arrested Shi Lang, Admiral of the Fujian Navy, isn't it too reckless?"

"Father, it doesn't matter if my son thinks it's a conspiracy or not." Geng Jingzhong said with a sinister smile, "Even if Shi Lang was wrongly arrested, it doesn't matter much. For the sake of caution, Governor Zu Zepu and Governor Liu Bingzheng also agreed to this point, and the court will have nothing to blame in the future. After all, the court has never been so reassuring about Shi Lang, and he holds the Fujian Navy in his hands. He caught him, let him run away, or led the navy to rebel, no one can bear the responsibility."

"That's the reason. Our Geng family, as the vassal princes of Fujian, can temporarily detain Shi Lang without an order when Shi Lang is suspected of treason and collaborating with the enemy." Geng Jimao nodded, agreeing with his son's prompt decision, and asked He said: "Then how do you plan to prove the authenticity of the contents of this letter? Also, how reliable do you think the emperor's secret training of young guards to capture Oboi is mentioned in this letter?"

"Father, my son thinks it's very reliable!" Geng Jingzhong said firmly: "I don't know if my father has noticed, but the traitor Chen Yonghua also mentioned the matter of the former emperor Shunzhi becoming a monk? What a confidential matter, father Wang, you all accidentally learned about this matter from the suicide note of Wu Liangfu, the former chief eunuch who was suppressed by the court, but this matter was directly mentioned in this letter. Do you know it well?"

"You mean to say that since the person who wrote the letter knew about the late emperor's secret renunciation, it means that he knows the secrets of the court like the back of his hand, and it also proves that the current emperor's secret training of young guards to deal with Oboi is absolutely absolute. Is it true?" Geng Jimao asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, that's exactly what my boy meant." Geng Jingzhong nodded, and then said: "And in this letter, it was even mentioned that the former Emperor Shunzhi's dharma name after he became a monk was Xingchi. Knowing the secret! Doesn’t this mean that the writer of the letter has a stronger intelligence force than you, father, in the court?”

"It makes sense." Geng Jimao nodded slowly, and said firmly: "Whether this letter was used by Zheng Ni from Taiwan to frame Shi Lang may not be sure, but the contents of this letter are likely to be true. At least part of it is true! Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether Shi Lang was wronged or not now, what matters is whether the matter mentioned in this letter is true or not!”

"Father, who should we dedicate this letter to?" Geng Jingzhong asked darkly: "To Ao Zhongtang? Or to Long Live Today?"

Geng Jimao stopped talking, and after careful consideration and weighing for a long time, Geng Jimao said slowly: "Who do you think we should dedicate this letter to?"

"The child is also very difficult." Geng Jingzhong said rather distressed: "Dedicated to the current emperor, we can get benefits such as military pay, food and official positions from the emperor, and we can also gain the absolute trust and reuse of the emperor. Dedicated To Prime Minister Ao, with the current power and status of Prime Minister Ao, we should be able to obtain all the benefits we have obtained from the emperor, and we can also gain the absolute trust of Prime Minister Ao—but the emperor is absolutely invincible. Prime Minister Ao's plan is bound to fail!"

"Speaking deeply, this letter is tantamount to a contract of sale for our Jingnan Prince's Mansion." Geng Jingzhong continued: "No matter who we dedicate it to, it is tantamount to declaring our allegiance to whom, and we will become best friends with him from now on, and we will share prosperity together." Rong, everything is damaged! Because this matter is too big, the child dare not make decisions on his own, so he immediately sent the letter back, asking Father to make a decision."

"Dedicated to the emperor!" Geng Jimao said firmly.

"Dedicated to the emperor?" Geng Jingzhong didn't expect his father to make up his mind so quickly, and hurriedly asked: "Did you think about it? Dedicated to the emperor, is it really beneficial to us?"

"Of course I have considered it." Geng Jimao said solemnly: "There are three reasons. First, the content of this letter, we can only be sure that the matter of the former emperor Shunzhi is true, and that the current emperor secretly trained young guards to deal with Oboi. , we have no way to prove whether it is true or false. In this case, if it is dedicated to Oboi, and it is later proved that the matter of the young guard is false, then we will only steal chickens and lose nothing. Since we have offended the emperor, It also made Prime Minister Ao suspect that we deliberately separated him and the emperor."

"It's different to dedicate it to the emperor." Geng Jingzhong is worthy of being the hero of the separatist side, and he immediately added for his father: "After dedicating to the emperor, even if the young guards are false, just rely on the letter." The leaked fact that the former emperor became a monk, the emperor will also think that our Geng family is loyal to him and has a good eye for us, so there will be no future troubles."

"That's right, that's just the first point." Geng Jimao nodded, and said darkly: "Second, let's assume that this matter is true. Now the lord has just been in charge, and the power is weak, and most of the power is still in the hands of Ao. In this case, if we hand over the letter to Ao Xiangye, the emperor's plan will fail, and then there will be a situation in the court where Ao Xiangye's family dominates, which is very detrimental to San Francisco! In view of this In this situation, instead of letting Oboi's family dominate, it is better to help the emperor and let them fight to the death, and we San Francisco will reap the benefits!"

"Wonderful! In the end, it's my father who is scheming!" Geng Jingzhong applauded, and quickly asked: "My father, what about the third benefit?"

"The third benefit, of course, is for you." Geng Jimao suddenly sighed, and said slowly, "I'm already over 60, and half of my body has been buried in the earth. If King Jingnan will pass it on to your generation, it will be the first one." Three generations, the ancients said that the third generation will be killed. If our Geng family does not want to consolidate the throne, it will be more difficult to pass it on to the fourth generation. And Oboi is about the same age as me, and the current emperor is only 14 years old. Even if they If there is no conflict between them, we can die together, and Oboi must die before the emperor—in this case, can our Geng family not take a long-term view?"

"Father is sympathetic to the child, with good intentions, and the child is very moved." Geng Jingzhong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to his father, with tears in his eyes, and cursed in his heart, "I don't die, you'd better give this to me tomorrow." Kick your legs, I'm still waiting to become the real King of Jingnan!"

"Just understand my painstaking efforts." Geng Jimao nodded and ordered: "It's not too late. Immediately draw up this matter as a memorial, together with this letter and the statement of the interrogation of Lu Yifeng, send the most reliable person to spend [-] Li Jiajun , send it to the capital as quickly as possible! Pass through your brother Geng Xinghe's door, avoid Obai's eyes and ears, and send it directly to the emperor!"

"Zha, I'll arrange it right now!" Geng Jingzhong agreed, and then remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, father, what should Shi Lang do? Are you still looking for evidence that he was wronged? After the edict issued Before, if we couldn't find any evidence that Shi Lang was wronged, then all ten Shi Langs would be dead based on the secrecy mentioned in the letter by the former emperor!"

"I'll let Shi Lang die!" Geng Jimao lazily said, "Besides, wouldn't it be better if he died? He managed the Fujian Navy so well that it would be difficult for us to intervene. If he died, Maybe we have a chance to get our hands on the Fujian Navy, why should I save him? From my point of view, he is dead, maybe the Fujian Navy should belong to you."

After all, Geng Jimao thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, remember to make a copy of this letter and keep it. It may be of great use at critical moments."

"Take it, my child understands!" Geng Jingzhong slapped Qian, and a sneer quickly emerged from the corner of his mouth, a sneer that made people chill.

………………

Although Fuzhou is more than 4000 miles away from Beijing, the construction of the post station in the Kangxi period of the former Qing Dynasty has been quite complete, and it has inherited the horse roads left over from the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The distance, in the case of changing horses without changing people, can reach the destination in only five days, with an average daily marching speed of 360 miles (reviewed from "A Brief History of the Eight Banners of Xi'an").But Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong's father and son showed their loyalty and dedication, and ordered the courier to rush to the capital as quickly as possible. Naturally, their confidant courier did not dare to neglect, and changed a fast horse every twenty miles along the way. , As a result, it took only ten days to send the memorial of Geng Jimao and his son and this letter to the capital, and handed it over to Geng Xinghe, the son of Geng Jimao who was in Beijing as a hostage.

After receiving my father's memorial and letter, and receiving my father's order to secretly send these things to Kangxi, avoiding Oboi's eyes and ears, I hurriedly let my wife, who is also a little pockmarked aunt, come to the palace to visit Er Niang, brought these things into the palace, and avoided the eyes and ears of others, and quietly delivered these things to a certain little pockmarked child.The result was very natural, a certain little pockmark was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and went completely crazy!
"Shi Lang dog thief! I'm going to chop you into pieces and tear you into pieces!" Xiao Mazi spit fire from his eyes, jumped up and broke the dragon case, barking his teeth and claws, roaring and screaming, as if insane and crazy, " What a bold thief! It’s okay to betray me and collude with Zheng Ni in Taiwan, but he dares to set up his eyes and ears to spy on the secrets of the court, and even... wants to spy on the whereabouts of my Ama! If I don’t kill you, I swear I won’t be a human being! "

"The emperor calm down!" Xiao Mazi's confidantes present at the scene, and Xiao Mazi secretly trained several confidant guards who were going to deal with old man Ao, knelt down together, trembling and pale.

"You guys! You guys!" Xiao Mazi suddenly pointed at the lackeys in front of him, and shouted with fire in his eyes, "I want you to practice Buku, and use various means to secretly transfer you to my side, I am going to ask you to clean up the matter of Oboi, who leaked it?"

"I don't dare to wait." Suo Etu, Cao Yin, Li Xu, and Lang Tan, Xiao Mazi's confidantes who were present at the scene, were frightened out of their wits, and kowtowed over each other, saying: "Even if you have eaten the guts of a leopard, you will not dare to reveal your Majesty's truth." Secret."

"Your Majesty, even if you borrow a hundred guts, this slave would not dare to divulge a single word about the Emperor's opportunity!"

"I swear to God, this slave didn't even reveal a single word to his wife! If this slave lies, please the emperor cut this slave!"

"Since it's not you, who is it?" Xiao Mazi rushed up, kicked and hit him, and roared frantically: "No one but you dog slaves know about this, only I, the Empress Dowager and Er Niang know about it, don't tell me?" Will they leak it? Well now, even Zheng Ni from Taiwan knows that I am going to use you to get rid of Oboi, so tell me, who is it? Who is it?"

"Your Majesty, could it be Lord Mingzhu Ming?" Suo Etu said tremblingly, "He also knows the secret of the Emperor, and he is also the chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a bachelor of the Hongwen Academy. He has contacts with a wide range of people. Could it be Did he accidentally leak this secret?"

"What evidence do you have?" Xiao Mazi asked squinting.

"Slave...no." Suo'etu shrank his neck again.

"Then don't let me go and investigate? Go and investigate!" Xiao Mazi became hysterical again, kicking Suo'etu and shouting: "Cha Mingzhu, that dog slave! Check all the dog slaves who know about this! And Cha You own dog slave!"

"Zha, Zha, Zha, Zha." Suo'etu kowtowed desperately, and kept agreeing, but he was worried in his heart - where did he start to investigate such a secret matter?

"By the way, there's Kong Sizhen, that dog slave, whore!" Xiao Mazi suddenly thought of poor Si Gege, and shouted like crazy: "This stinky whore! Did he get blinded by being fucked too much by men? How dare you use two stupid pigs like Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, two rebels, to ruin the errand, and even dare to secretly collude with Zheng Ni to sell such a confidential matter for money! I want to chop these two dog slaves , Slashed, exterminate the nine clans——!"

Roaring, Xiao Mazi jumped and staggered, and fell directly on the smooth ground of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, scaring Xiao Mazi's confidant eunuch Zhang Wanqiang and his confidant guard Suo Etu and others crying for their father and mother, and hurried to climb up. Go up to help Xiao Mazi and kowtow again and again.Just at this time, outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the voice of Li Yinzheng, the chief eunuch of the Palace of Compassion, came from the voice of a male duck, "The Empress Dowager Lafayette is here—!"

In the long drinking room, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who was nearly sixty years old, walked in with a smile on her face, supported by a maid of the same age in Chinese dress.Seeing the two most important women in his heart come in, Xiao Mazi immediately rushed up like a wronged child seeing his own mother, and shouted with tears in his eyes, "Grandma, Er Niang, you are finally here. Just take a look, that bastard Shi Lang dared to betray me, and even spy on my secrets, including the secrets of the late emperor!"

"Don't worry, grandson, don't worry, grandma will make the decision for you." Xiao Zhuang patted Xiao Mazi's head lovingly, first sat down on the chair brought by Zhang Wanqiang with the support of the beautiful palace maid, and then took Xiao Mazi He lowered his head and looked at the memorials and other things handed over by himself.

Because it is necessary to explain in detail what happened before and after, the memorial of Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong's father and son is very long. In addition, there is also the letter from Chen Yonghua and the confession of Fatty Lu and others, so Xiaozhuang has read half of it. It's time to watch.After reading it carefully, Xiao Zhuang didn't speak, and handed these things to the palace maid beside her, that is, the same age as Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang's dowry maid when he married Huang Taiji, the famous Aunt Su Ma Yes, let this equally shrewd confidant lady read it again, so that the staff can discuss it.

It wasn't until Lagu Su Ma finished reading these things that Xiaozhuang, who lowered his head and counted, raised his head and told Suo'etu and other guards: "Suo'etu, you all kneel outside. Zhang Wanqiang, Li Yinzheng, you all also go out."

"Zha." Several guards and eunuchs present breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation together, leaving behind Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Mazi's grandson, and Lagu Su Ma to talk in secret.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very complicated. Have you figured it out?" Xiaozhuang said slowly, "Why did Fu Honglie, the prefect of Chaozhou, do this? Why did he die in Fujian? And why did such a letter appear on him? After going back and forth, did you find out the connection?"

"About this, my grandson has already figured out a clue." Xiao Mazi said confidently: "First of all, Fu Honglie did receive Kong Sizhen's order to assassinate the daughter of King Pingnan in Fujian on her way to Beijing, and set the blame on her. To go to the head of Lu Yifeng, the Western election official who was going to meet with His Majesty in Beijing, and let Shang Kexi, Wu Sangui and Geng Jimao fight against each other and turn each other into enemies. That dog slave has already reported it to me in secret, and the memorial was sent to Beijing the day before yesterday."

"The subsequent situation was very complicated, because there were not many clues, so my grandson could only infer logically——Fu Honglie, a dog slave, was ordered to mix sand in Chaozhou, and then used Chaozhou's favorable terrain to spy on Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao. , and secretly monitored Wu Sangui’s cousin Fujian Zu Zepu and Navy Admiral Shi Lang who were stationed in Zhangzhou. During this period, Fu Honglie, a dog slave, discovered the evidence that Shi Lang secretly colluded with Taiwan’s Zheng Ni, but he did not report it to me and Kong Sizhen. Instead, they used this as an excuse to extort huge sums of money from Shi Lang, and even Zheng Ni from Taiwan, taking money from both sides, and eating inside and out!"

"Subsequently, Fu Honglie was ordered to rob and kill Shang Kexi's daughter. Because he was acting in the province, for the convenience of action, he probably contacted the dog thief Shi Lang again and asked the dog thief Shi Lang to provide assistance, or at least met with the dog thief Shi Lang again. During this period, Fu Honglie may or may not have found this letter beside Shi Lang's dog thief, and stole it out, planning to use this important letter from the traitor Chen Yonghua to Shi Lang to blackmail Shi Lang dog stole huge sums of money!"

"Your Majesty, maybe Fu Honglie intends to deliver this letter to Kong Sizhen, or to you directly." Aunt Su Ma interjected, "The content of this letter is so important, Fu Honglie will not neglect the consequences."

"It's possible." Xiao Mazi nodded, and said through gritted teeth: "However, given the importance of this letter, since Fu Honglie got it, he should give up the task of assassinating Shang Kexi's daughter and make sure that this letter is sent to In my hands, but this dog slave not only did not do that, but also hid the letter by his side, and continued to assassinate Shang Kexi's daughter with this letter! This is enough to prove that Fu Honglie, the dog slave, had no intention of taking the letter with him. Dedicate the letter to me or give it to Kong Sizhen, but I plan to use this letter as a cash cow to extort huge sums of money from Taiwan's Zheng Ni or Shi Lang's dog thieves! This dog slave, I want to kill his nine clans!"

"Yes, this possibility is relatively higher." Xiao Zhuang nodded, and then pondered: "If this assumption is true, the next thing will be easy to explain. During Fu Honglie's assassination of Shang Kexi's daughter, because Lu Yifeng and his The four servants happened to have no meal that day, and this accident happened, so they failed to succeed. Later, when he was chasing and killing Lu Yifeng and Shang Kexi's daughter, he happened to meet or was chased by the killer sent by Shi Lang, and died in the In the hands of Shi Lang's subordinates, Lu Yifeng and Shang Kexi's daughter also managed to escape with this accident."

"It should be like this!" Xiao Mazi waved his fist and said through gritted teeth: "From the confession of Lu Yifeng and Shang Kexi's daughter, it can be seen that Fu Honglie, that dog slave, did not tell the truth to Shi Lang's lackeys, and lied to them that this letter had already been written. He was sent back to Chaozhou alone. Shi Lang’s lackeys believed it was true and did not search him after killing him. This letter was lucky to be preserved! This is also the blessing of my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty, so I can see clearly Fu Honglie , Yang Guotai, and Shi Lang, the true faces of these dog slaves!"

"Your Majesty, don't rush to make judgments." Xiaozhuang shook his head and said, "There is another explanation for this matter, that is, this letter is actually just a conspiracy by Taiwan Zheng Ni to plant the blame on Shi Lang. Get rid of Shi Lang with your hands."

"It's possible, that's why Sun'er didn't order Shi Lang's head to be killed immediately." Kangxi nodded, and then said: "Sun'er intends to bring Shi Lang to Beijing for strict interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I wonder what grandma thinks?"

"Silly boy, why are you so confused?" Xiao Zhuang said with a smile: "Can this kind of matter be tried publicly? You handed it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Won't more and more people know about these things by writing the letter? "

"Oh!" Xiao Mazi slapped his forehead, annoyed, "Grandson is really confused, why did you forget this?"

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Shi Lang can be handed over to Kong Sizhen." Aunt Su Ma suggested softly: "Kong Sizhen is an expert in this field, and she is reliable. If Shi Lang is handed over to Kong Sizhen for interrogation, there will be no delay in keeping it."

"No need." Xiao Zhuang shook his head and said, "The fewer people who know about these things, the better. No matter whether Shi Lang was wronged or not, this person will not stay and must be removed. As for Zu Zepu and Liu Bingzheng, they They are all smart people, and they are usually considered loyal, if you find an excuse to give them and their families some sweetness, these two smart old dogs will shut up obediently."

"The matter between Zu Zepu and Liu Bingzheng is fine. My grandson is already in charge, so just find a reason to explain it to me." Xiao Mazi agreed, but then he wondered: "But Shi Lang... If he was really wronged, then I can't help it." It’s about to lose a good navy general, and it will also chill the hearts of other Taiwanese descendants.”

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, so I can't take care of so much." Xiao Zhuang said slowly: "Think about it, your father secretly became a monk, and you secretly trained young guards to deal with Oboi. Relying on the gang of traitors under Zheng Jing in Taiwan, can they spy on them? In the final analysis, Shi Lang, the first-rank official, is not the most suspected? If you don’t kill him quickly and disintegrate his spy organization, the secrets in this palace will have to be leaked out How much? If this Shi Lang is not a traitor, it's okay. If he is a traitor, and let him get away with it during the interrogation period, it's fine if the matter gets bigger and bigger. Do our grandparents dare to close their eyes when they sleep in the palace at night? ?”

"So, Shi Lang must be killed. Not only must she be killed, but his whole family and his confidantes in the army must also be killed." Xiao Zhuang's tone was calm, but every sentence he uttered was full of heart-breaking words, "Shi Lang It is true that he is a good general of the navy, but your grandpa (Huang Taiji) was inferior to Amin, Du Du and Mang Gurtai when he was younger? Without the butcher, you have to eat bastard pigs?"

"Grandson understands!" Xiao Mazi nodded quickly, and said through gritted teeth: "Grandson now decrees that Geng Jimao, Geng Jingzhong and his son are responsible for investigating Shi Lang, arresting Shi Lang's family and his party members, no matter what crimes are used. Killed them, killed them all!"

"You're right. Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong sent these things in such a hurry, but they also meant to kill Shi Lang—otherwise, why didn't they even ask for Shi Lang's statement? Most likely, they are eyeing the navy in Shi Lang's hands." Xiaozhuang nodded, then sneered: "But this father and son are quite smart, and they sent these things directly to the emperor through a secret channel, which proves that their father and son are still looking for Your Majesty, otherwise, if they give these to Oboi, it will be really troublesome. Killing Shi Lang and letting Geng Jingzhong command the navy on his behalf, it can be regarded as a reward for them."

"Fujian Navy?" Xiao Ma was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, if the Fujian Navy is given to the Geng family again, all Fujian's troops will be named Geng!"

"Just lend them temporarily." Xiao Zhuang said calmly: "The emperor's current enemies are Oboi and Wu Sangui, not Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong. Temporarily give them some sweetness, temporarily stabilize them, and there will be no loss."

"Sooner or later, this pair of cowardly dogs will be punished for the crime of blackmailing you!" Xiao Mazi gritted his teeth in his heart, and secretly wrote down this account—by the way, Xiao Mazi likes to settle accounts after autumn But it is famous.

"Okay then, grandson, let someone arrange it." Xiao Mazi respectfully agreed, and then asked: "Grandmother, what about Kong Sizhen? The fact that she sent Fu Honglie to assassinate Shang Kexi's daughter has now been revealed." , if my grandson doesn't clean up her, he won't be able to explain to San Francisco."

"Kong Sizhen can be hated by San Francisco, but he can't be defeated. He has to be protected." Xiaozhuang said lightly: "Let Geng Jimao and his son put all the blame on Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai. They won the Fujian Navy and will be obedient. As for Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui, they hate Kong Sizhen so much that it would be better if they gritted their teeth."

"Yes, grandson understands." Xiao Mazi still respects Xiaozhuang, and now that Xiao Mazi has just been in charge of the government, he is relatively inexperienced, and he listens to the words of his grandmother who is extremely experienced in political struggle.

"For the sake of caution, this matter has to be bypassed by Oboi. You don't need to think of a way, just tell Geng Jimao. As long as you acquiesce, that old fox has plenty of ways to bypass Oboi and deal with Shi Lang." Xiao Zhuang pointed out a few more words, " Also, for Kong Sizhen, you also have to give her a little warning, there can't be another doggy servant like Fu Honglie."

Xiao Mazi nodded one by one, remembering carefully.After Xiaozhuang talked for a long time, he felt a little tired, so he stood up and said that he was going back to the palace. Xiao Mazi hurried up to help him, but after standing up, Xiaozhuang suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Wait, grandson, The name Lu Yifeng, why do I remember that you seem to have mentioned it in front of me?"

"Grandson mentioned it." Xiao Mazi replied truthfully: "Last time, this Lu Yifeng risked his life to persuade Monk Wu Sangui, it is gratifying to let these two old dogs take the initiative to ask for withdrawal. Although the two old dogs did not agree, he I also failed to make such an extraordinary achievement for me. But my grandson thought that his loyalty was commendable, so he praised him once in front of his grandmother."

"This Lu Yifeng is not simple." Xiaozhuang smiled and said: "Last time Kong Sizhen also mentioned him to me in a letter, saying that he was the first person who was captured by Kong Sizhen but not killed; Admonishing Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui to withdraw their vassals, Shang Kexi and Wu Sangui did not kill him; Fu Honglie wanted to kill him, but he himself died inexplicably. Three or four times in a row, if this Lu Yifeng was not Fu Daming If you are big, you must be an extraordinary slave."

"So, grandson is also a little interested in this Lu Yifeng." Xiao Mazi said with a smile: "When he arrives in the capital, grandson must meet him in person. If grandma is interested, grandson can also arrange for him Meet grandma once."

"Okay, grandma wants to see what this blessed and fateful servant looks like." Xiaozhuang smiled and agreed, but he was thinking in his heart, "This Lu Yifeng can be said to be the key to Shi Lang's matter. The happy daughter testified for him, proving that he did not lie. But..."

"Grandson, arrange one more thing." Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuang ordered again: "Ask Kong Sizhen to arrange more people, and find out the eighteen generations of Lu Yifeng's ancestors, and see what kind of person he is. , mainly with whom.”

………………

Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mazi had a secret discussion, and Shi Lang was doomed to a tragic fate. On November 24, the sixth year of Qingkang Mazi, Shi Lang, who had been imprisoned for nearly a month and hadn't figured out what crime he had committed, was arrested. On the execution ground, Geng Jimao and his son, Fujian governor Zu Zepu, and Fujian governor Liu Bingzheng asked for Wang Ming's flag, announcing that Shi Lang had colluded with Taiwan's Zheng Jing in attempting to rebel, stealing arms, embezzling military pay, etc. The evidence is solid and the crime is heinous!At the same time, because of Shi Lang's special status and many party members, Jingnan Wang Geng Jimao and Fujian local officials decided to kill Shi Lang first and then play, and ordered Shi Lang to be cut in half!
After hearing most of these non-existent crimes, Shi Lang wanted to cry but had no choice but to cry, and could only cry up to the sky with tears in his eyes, "I am wronged——! I, Shi Lang, what crime did I commit? Why did God give me such a crime?" An ending—?"

It's useless to cry for grievances. Geng Jimao, Zu Zepu and the others, who had received a hint of acquiescence from a certain pockmark, couldn't wait to order the executioner to push Shi Lang into the guillotine. When the knife went down, blood spattered, and Shi Lang was cut in two!It was also at this moment that Shi Lang, who was struggling to survive, came to his senses, looked up to the sky again, and wailed loudly, "Damn me, I forgot the lessons of my old masters Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao, and repeated the same mistakes and became a traitor. This is my fate!"

"Master Guoxing, even though you killed my father and my brother, I still have no face to see you under the Nine Springs—!"

When the news spread, Chen Yonghua laughed loudly in Taiwan, saying: "Taiwan is going to be a big enemy! Guoxing Lord, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

After laughing, Chen Yonghua covered his face and cried again, remembering Shi Lang's life experience and his previous experience of fighting against the Qing Dynasty side by side. what!"

The news spread to a certain fat man, who was on his way north, spat and cursed, "You deserve it! Who told you to cut off the last trace of Huaxia's blood?"

After scolding, the fat man started to think badly again, "I'm done tricking Shi Lang, who should I harm next? Suo'etu? Tuhai? Mingzhu? Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong, Xiong Cilu, Yue Le, Jieshu, or Yue Zhongqi's traitors Dad? It’s so embarrassing, there are too many, who should I hurt first? Who can give me an idea?”
