scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 47

"Zhou Chang? He's pretty handsome. He's more than ten times stronger than that fatty Lu from Yunnan. Walking on the street, he's sure to turn heads of many girls and daughters-in-law. Not to mention his pretty face, his limbs are so well-proportioned, and his waist is slender. The ass is strong, hee, it must be strong, the type I like."

Looking at Zhou Chang's appearance, Kong Sizhen even forgot to ask Zhou Chang to get up, and she couldn't help but drool, wishing she could just pounce on him, tear Zhou Chang's clothes off, and then press heavily on the ground, trampling wantonly!It's a pity that Tu Hai next to him didn't have such hobbies as Kong Sizhen, but he said impatiently: "Get up, sit by the brazier, and tell Si Gege everything you found."

"Cover." Zhou Chang kowtowed respectfully again, then stood up and walked to the side of the charcoal basin. He was about to sit opposite Kong Sizhen, but he never thought that Kong Sizhen would grab him with his left hand and pull him to his left, tenderly. Said: "Master Zhou, sit next to the servant's house, it is convenient to sit closer and talk."

Saying that, Kong Sizhen pressed Zhou Chang beside her without any explanation, and sat down next to her. At the same time, her left hand penetrated into Zhou Chang's leather robe like lightning, and wandered around to caress. Zhou Chang was so frightened that he was dumbfounded and dared not move.Fortunately, Tu Hai has long been familiar with such things, and said impatiently: "Master Zhou, don't be afraid, Si Gege has always been this habit, you should hurry up and tell Si Gege about the major doubts you found. Say, let’s talk about the rest slowly.”

"Cover." Zhou Chang agreed again, and had no choice but to endure Kong Sizhen's sexual harassment while blushing, and said respectfully: "Si Gege, the case of Mr. Fu, the case reported by Fujian is very brief, only that Mr. Fu colluded with Taiwan." Zheng Ni attempted to murder Pingnan Wang Gege, and the evidence for the murder of Pingnan Wang Gege is very sufficient. There are not only the confessions of Qujing County Magistrate Lu Yifeng and Pingnan Wang Gege, but also the confessions of Chaozhou soldiers who betrayed Lord Fu. The iron case is like a mountain, and it will definitely not be overturned."

"However." Speaking of this, Zhou Chang gave a heavy meal, and said seriously: "For the charge of colluding with Taiwan, Fujian did not show any real evidence, but just said very vaguely that it was related to Shi Lang's treason and usurpation case, but Shi Lang That case was the same, there was no evidence at all, but the emperor still ruled that the case was legal, and rewarded the Fujian officials who handled the case. In view of the above points, I dare to speculate that the Fujian side probably secreted the most important key evidence to the emperor , but due to various considerations, the emperor did not make this evidence public!"

"It makes sense, it can only be this explanation." Kong Sizhen nodded, and said: "The emperor is so gifted, it is impossible to agree to kill a first-rank official and a fourth-rank magistrate based on those vague evidences. It is impossible for the Empress Dowager not to stop and remind me."

"The Four Frames and Ge Mingjian are indeed the truth." Zhou Chang nodded, and then said: "For this reason, I suggested that Tutang send people to Xinghua, Fujian to investigate this matter secretly. An happened to be Tutang's old subordinate when he was leading the army, and happened to participate in the investigation of the case. Tutang secretly promised him to be promoted to the garrison, and he just like Tutang secretly reported the details of the case. It turned out that they found Mr. Fu Honglie A letter was found on Mr. Fu's body, but Zhang An didn't know the specific content of the letter. He only knew that Mu Tianyan, the magistrate of Xinghua, didn't dare to open the letter, so he handed it to Jing directly. Geng Jingzhong, the eldest son of the Southern King, the whereabouts of this letter is unknown, and the Fujian side has not released even a single word about this letter from the beginning to the end!"

"It seems that the problem should be in this letter." Kong Sizhen nodded and said: "But it doesn't matter, as long as Geng Jingzhong dedicates this letter to the emperor, I will know the content of this letter at the latest tonight. "

"Si Gege, in front of the emperor, apart from knowing the specific content of this letter, you must ask the emperor to let you re-investigate the case!" Zhou Chang said darkly: " Because during this period, Beizhi discovered an extremely serious doubt! A doubt that can completely turn this case over, no matter what the content of the letter is!"

"What doubt?" Kong Sizhen said impatiently.

"Gege, please take a look." Zhou Chang took out a few government documents from his pocket, and said, "This is Zhang An who got the autopsy form of Mr. Fu and the others for Tutang. In addition to stating that Mr. Fu and the others died by sword In addition, the time of Master Fu's death is also speculated. ——Ge Ge, please look carefully, when were the two adults Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai died, and the bodies of six other Chaozhou soldiers found together with their bodies , what is the time of death?"

"Why is there a difference of six or seven hours?" Reminded by Zhou Chang, Kong Sizhen also found that something was wrong, snatched the corpses and looked at them carefully, and exclaimed: "It is speculated that the death time of Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai should be At about three quarters in the morning of October 27, the time of death of their followers was speculated to be at midnight that night, so their bodies were discovered together? How could there be such a long time difference?"

"There is only one explanation." Zhou Chang said word by word: "Master Fu and the others, Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai were killed first, and the other six soldiers were killed. The investigative sight of the local government! The place where the Xinghua government officials found their bodies is definitely not the real crime scene!"

"That's right!" Kong Sizhen slapped his thigh heavily, and said through gritted teeth, "As long as we find out who moved the corpse, we will be able to find out the real truth of this case and find out the real culprit!"

"There is another very suspicious person!" Zhou Chang quickly said: "Most of the confessions provided by Fujian came from the mouth of Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, and in his confessions, the two adults Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai He and these six soldiers were attacked by unknown persons at the same time, and he took the opportunity to escape with Pingnan Wang Xiaogege. If this is the case, Mr. Fu and the others should have died together, and the difference in death time is absolutely impossible to exceed one hour!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chang gritted his white teeth and said in a dark voice: "So I suggest that after Si Gege gets the emperor's permission to re-investigate the case, he should be arrested immediately and re-interrogated!"

Kong Sizhen was silent, he thought nervously for a long time, stood up and said: "I will immediately go to the palace to ask for an order to report these doubts to the emperor, and ask the emperor to re-investigate the case."

"Si Gege, remember to find out the contents of that letter." Tu Hai interrupted and said, "Fu Honglie is my close friend, I can't just watch his whole family die so unjustly, during the investigation process, if there is any need for help, Just open your mouth."

"Of course." Kong Sizhen replied casually, regaining her usual coquettish expression, took Zhou Chang's hand and said coquettishly: "But before that, I hope that Tutang can lend me this Master Zhou for a few days. With Mr. Zhou's intelligence, wisdom, and meticulousness, he will definitely be able to help the slave family a lot."

Tu Hai smiled and agreed without hesitation, while Zhou Chang on the other side had a sad face on the surface, but was secretly happy in his heart—in any case, although Kong Sizhen was a bit too promiscuous, no matter his body or appearance, he was the same as him.

………………

As expected of Zhou Chang, he was an extremely intelligent person. Fatty Lu had just exposed such a small flaw, and he was immediately caught by him, which almost brought disaster to him.But it is a pity that both the treacherous and lustful Kong Sizhen and the extremely intelligent Zhou Chang are destined to underestimate the complexity and sensitivity of this case due to insufficient intelligence and ignorance of the deeper inside story.So when Kong Sizhen entered the palace, he handed over the doubtful points Zhou Chang summed up and the body he had collected to a little pockmark...

"Bastards! Geng Jingzhong and Zu Zepu bastards, they turned a blind eye to such a big doubt!" Xiao Mazi was furious at first, slapped the table and shouted: "Did they not notice this doubt, or did they already know it?" You noticed it, but you deliberately didn’t report it to me?”

"Back to the emperor, I believe that both are possible." Kong Sizhen knelt down in front of Xiao Mazi, and said respectfully: "I have been in Guangxi for more than a year, contacted many local officials, and found that most of their investigations and detections of various cases They are not good at it, and most of the cases are handled by torture, so it is not ruled out that Fujian officials are negligent. But this matter is indeed complicated, and it is not ruled out that Fujian localities deliberately concealed this major doubt for their own benefit. "

Xiao Mazi nodded slowly. This matter is indeed too complicated and involves too much. The possibility of someone deliberately concealing this important detail for their own benefit cannot be ruled out. After the incident, I was also very surprised. I couldn't figure out whether it was the local government in Fujian who accidentally missed this clue, or someone deliberately turned a blind eye for their own interests. This detail has become a permanent mystery that no one can uncover. unsolved case.

"Your Majesty, that slave Fu Honglie is incompetent and shameless, and he really deserves death." Seeing Xiao Mazi nodding, Kong Sizhen took the opportunity to say: "But please recite Fu Honglie's loyalty to you, and don't let him die in an unclear manner. The servant dared to ask for an order, and the servant was allowed to arrest Lu Yifeng, the magistrate of Qujing County, to re-investigate the case and find out the truth behind the scenes!"

"Sigege, it's not that I don't want to find out the truth." Xiao Mazi said rather distressed: "Even when Fujian just reported this case to me, I felt that there were many doubts in it, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed. But this The matter is too complicated and involves too much, so I have to weigh the pros and cons."

Speaking of this, Xiao Mazi sighed, and said again: "Well, don't you want to know what the letter found on Fu Honglie's body is? I asked Zhang Wanqiang to find it for you, but you must promise me that this letter Not even a single word in the letter can be leaked to the outside world!"

As he said that, Xiao Mazi winked at Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation next to him. Zhang Wanqiang understood, and soon sent someone to fetch the letter from the hidden compartment of the study, and handed it to Kong Sizhen.After reading the letter dictated by Fatty Lu, written by Chen Jinnan and stamped with the official seal of Taiwan, Kong Sizhen immediately took a breath and thought, "No wonder the emperor is so heavy handed, not only killing Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai The whole family of the slave even killed a good navy general who defected from Taiwan, a first-rank officer!"

Thinking of this, Kong Sizhen asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, this servant has the courage to ask, are all the things mentioned in this letter true?"

Xiao Mazi didn't answer, but nodded after a long time, which was regarded as acquiescing.Seeing this, Kong Sizhen, who was still excitedly thinking about being able to deal with Fatty Lu this time, suddenly became more and more cold. After he finished talking, how can he catch Fatty Lu?If Wu Sangui is arrested secretly, the old man will not agree. If he is arrested publicly, he will have to be interrogated publicly. At that time, Oboi will insert another hand. Once he finds out the existence of this letter, I will fall into it!
After thinking for a while, Kong Sizhen said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, how about letting the servants secretly arrest Lu Yifeng? The imperial meeting to discuss how to allocate the military salary of the San Francisco is about to be held. Lu Yifeng is only a small role in Wu Sangui's side. At this critical moment, Wu Sangui should not make a big fuss for this small role."

"It's not that simple, let me tell you one more thing." Xiao Mazi shook his head, and said darkly: "Oboi is also eyeing this matter, and Lu Yifeng also entered Beijing today, but he hasn't entered the city yet. The Burshan people stopped him outside the Chaoyang Gate, saying that they had been waiting for him for two days, and they must invite him to the Banburshan Mansion as a guest."

"Bumbleshan? Send someone to pick up Lu Yifeng?" Kong Sizhen's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Master, did you hear me right? Master Bumbleshan is a nobleman, a first-rank official, and sent someone to Picking up a Qipin county magistrate from outside the city to meet with His Majesty? Still waiting outside the city for two days?"

"Of course it's not all lost!" Xiao Mazi said darkly: "The Empress Dowager has already analyzed it for me. The case of Shi Lang and Fu Honglie is so complicated and mysterious. The Oboi Party probably smelled something. Taste, I plan to get Lu Yifeng, a key person, to find out the truth of this matter, and then use this case to make a big fuss and weaken my prestige—the old man has long been dissatisfied with the fact that my relatives have taken power!"

After introducing this complicated situation, Xiao Mazi said in great distress: "You said it yourself, in this case, if I approve you to arrest Lu Yifeng, can you hide it from the eyes of Oboi's party? How will you be interrogated if you are caught? How will I end up after the trial?"

"Damn it, this fat man is so damn lucky! It just happened to meet such a complicated situation, and the master has no choice but to throw a mouse trick!" Kong Sizhen felt aggrieved in his heart, hating and jealous of Fatty Lu's good luck.In desperation, Kong Sizhen had no choice but to ask: "Your Majesty, let's forget about this matter? Don't investigate?"

"Of course we need to investigate, but we can't do it now, and we can't do it directly or publicly." Xiao Mazi said viciously: "The Empress Dowager once taught me that for some things, the sage can suffer, and even be dumb. The only thing you can do is not suffer from unexplained losses! If you suffer a loss and still don’t understand why you suffer this loss, then you are not a holy king, but a foolish king! I will leave this matter to you, except that no third person can know, no matter you Whatever means and how long it takes, you have to check it out for me!"

"Shi, I obey the order." Kong Sizhen bowed his head respectfully, then raised his head and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, since this matter must be investigated and understood, then this servant has no other choice but to attack Lu Yifeng, because this The three parties involved in the matter, one is Xiao Gege from Pingnan Palace, the slave can't find out if he wants to, and the other is Lu Yifeng's confidant, who is always around Lu Yifeng, and may not know the details yet, so the slave has no choice but to We can attack Lu Yifeng now."

"Then you should use your favorite means, find a way to get close to Lu Yifeng, and find a way to find out from him." Xiao Mazi trusted Kong Sizhen quite a bit, knowing that she was the best at dealing with men.After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Mazi said again: "Sigege, if I remember correctly, you seemed to admire Lu Yifeng very much before, why are you targeting him so much now?"

"Back to the emperor, I really admired Lu Yifeng very much before, and praised him more than once in the memorial." Kong Si was a little embarrassed, and replied: "But now, now...."

"Now because of him, you lost two loyal servants, so you hate him, don't you?" Xiao Mazi asked sharply.

"Back to the master, the slave is indeed so narrow-minded." Kong Sizhen was honest, and directly kowtowed to confess. It seems so simple, but I feel more and more unable to see through him, always wanting to kill him and then quickly."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Mazi said casually, "I met Lu Yifeng in Weifu today, and we talked for a few words. I feel that this slave is still loyal to me and the court, and he always respects me in everything. The country is the most important thing, and there is a bit of talent and courage, which is considered a rare talent. How can you want to kill such a loyal and capable minister just because you feel uncomfortable personally, because he was inadvertently involved in the case of your slave's death? ? Don’t forget that the Fujian matter was the result of your unethical actions first, and Lu Yifeng was innocently involved in it.”

"The slave is guilty." Kong Sizhen kowtowed, and said: "Since the emperor admires Lu Yifeng so much, the slave will try to win him over from Wu Sangui for the master and let him serve the master while investigating the case in the future."

"Not in the future, but as soon as possible, preferably within ten days!" Xiao Mazi said with dignity: "The imperial financial meeting will be held in the capital on the second day of the Lunar New Year to discuss the military pay of San Francisco next year, but here At such a critical moment, San Francisco’s request for an increase in salary was sent to the capital one after another. Wu Sangui’s old man also reported that the remnants of the Ma Naiying chieftain party that had been wiped out were about to move around in Yunnan and Guizhou, and there were signs of resurgence. Just in case!"

"And your husband, Sun Yanling." Speaking of this, Xiao Mazi got angry, and couldn't help pointing at Kong Sizhen and shouted: "I really don't know how you trained him? This Sun Yanling actually presented to the court at such a critical moment." He said that bandits and thieves were rampant at the junction of the three provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty were rampant. They also asked me to pay him more military pay so that they could be eradicated! This guy took the wrong medicine. It is not a help to post such a memorial at this time Is Wu Sangui very busy?"

"Back to the master, Sun Yanling posted this memorial without telling the slaves." Kong Sizhen replied with a sad face: "After the slaves found out about this, they went to find Sun Yanling to settle accounts, but he actually said that he did it for the sake of the soldiers in Guangxi. Get some benefits, establish the slave and his prestige in the Guangxi army, better control Guangxi for the master, and the slave will have no way to break out."

"He wants to pay for the benefits of the Guangxi soldiers?" Xiao Mazi was furious, and roared: "He wants to increase the military pay, for your sake, I can't think about it! But why ask for military pay at this time? In order to weaken Wu Sangui's control over Yunnan and Guizhou, I managed to deprive him of the right to manage local government affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou this year, and then followed Wang Xu's memorial to put pressure on him, in order to force him to make concessions on the issue of military pay, so that I can save money Come to add a little salary to the soldiers of the Eight Banners, establish my prestige among the soldiers of the Eight Banners after my own administration, and overwhelm Oboi——but what is it that you make such a memorial at this time, if you don’t draw the salary from the bottom of the pot and let my previous efforts go to waste?”

"The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die!" Kong Sizhen repeatedly kowtowed, and said tremblingly, "It's all because the slave failed to control Sun Yanling well and caused trouble to the master. The slave deserves death!"

"Now I know it's time to die, it's too late!" The more Xiao Mazi said, the more angry he became, and he roared: "It's okay now, San Francisco is asking for a raise, and your husband is also asking for a raise! In this case, the old man Wu Sangui How can I have the nerve to cut his military salary?"

Kong Sizhen's forehead was pressed to the ground, sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to say a word for a long while, he only wished to fuck all the eighteen generations of men in Sun Yanling's ancestors.

Fortunately, Xiao Mazi finally calmed down after venting for a while, and said: "It's okay, I received a secret report from Yunnan that the old man Wu Sangui assigned Lu Yifeng to assist Wu Yingxiong, the heir of Prince Pingxi, and discuss with the imperial court about the allocation of Yunnan-Guizhou military pay for next year .”

"Let Lu Yifeng assist Wu Yingxiong? Appoint Lu Yifeng, a seventh-rank sesame official, to do such a big thing?" Kong Sizhen asked in surprise, "Old Wu Sangui also took the wrong medicine? Your Majesty, this slave has the guts to ask, is this news reliable?"

"This news was reported to me secretly by Yuan Maogong, the governor of Yunnan." Xiao Mazi said darkly: "According to Yuan Maogong's report, he inadvertently heard this news from Wang Shirong, a counselor next to Wu Sangui at the wine table, but Wu Sangui Wang Shirong did not disclose the specific reason why Lu Yifeng was assigned to handle this matter. Moreover, I received a secret report that after Lu Yifeng entered Beijing, he did not live in the Yunnan post house, but directly lived in Wu Yingxiong’s house. From this point Let’s see, the news is probably true.”

"Could it be that Wu Sangui is really planning to adopt a strategy of slowly withdrawing the vassal?" Kong Sizhen suddenly had a whim, and said, "Just like what Lu Yifeng said in front of Shang Kexi, the method of increasing military pay will solve the problem of the withdrawal of the Yunnan-Guizhou army. Lu Yifeng, who proposed this strategy, was sent to deal with the aftermath of the feudal queen?"

"I can't rule out the possibility." Xiao Mazi nodded, then pointed to Kong Sizhen and said, "In view of these circumstances, I hope you can win over Lu Yifeng for me within ten days. The truth of the matter can be revealed, and I can also find out the trump card of Wu Sangui's military salary, so as to minimize the imperial court's expenditure on the military salary of San Francisco!"

"Cover. The servant obeys the order." Kong Sizhen agreed again, and at the same time couldn't help being moved again, "Fatty man, the heavens doomed our marriage, it seems that the first time in my family's Yunnan is destined to be broken in your hands gone."

"I have a similar explanation to Suo'etu." Xiao Mazi said again: "You can go to discuss with Suo'etu about how to do it, use your best skills, and tell Lu Yifeng casually, as long as Lu Yifeng is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright , to help me solve the current problem of military pay in San Francisco, and I will reward him with a magistrate..., no, I can reward him with a Taoist platform! Lianghuai Salt Law!"

Mazi entrusts his heart to the bright moon, will the fat man love the ditch?Want to know whether Fatty Lu can keep his faith in the face of Xiao Mazi's money, official position and beauty temptation?Please read the next chapter!
