scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 61
"The humble Lu Yifeng, I greet Pingnan Wang Xiao Gege, and pay my respects to Gege!"

Fatty Lu brushed off his sleeves, bent one knee slightly, and stabbed down at Shang Wanyi's handsome young man. The standard of etiquette can definitely be drawn to the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty as a model of etiquette!At the end, Fatty Lu raised his fat face and smiled affectionately at Shang Wanyan with his masculine charm.But it is a pity that at this moment, Shang Wanyi seems to have returned to the same time when she first met Fatty Lu in front of the inner city of Guangzhou. , as if he didn't see Fatty Lu's sweetheart at all—at least Fatty Lu thought so.

"Huh? Is the little girl jealous? This is a good sign." Fatty Lu's face is really thick, and he is complacent when he touches his nose, thinking that the reason why Shang Wanyi is so indifferent to him is entirely because Seeing Kong Sizhen holding his arm, he misunderstood the relationship between him and Kong Sizhen - after all, in all honesty, Kong Sizhen is slightly better than Shang Wanyi in appearance.

"Master Lu, Little Gege has already entered the mansion, get up quickly." Li Tianzhi's words interrupted Fatty Lu's complacency, and as he spoke, Li Tianzhi, who was dressed in ordinary servant clothes, gave Fatty Lu a hand.

"Thank you General Li." Fatty Lu thanked him casually and stood up.

"Lord Lu, please don't call me a general. I have already been expelled from the Pingnan Palace, and I have also been removed from all positions in the army." Li Tianzhi said with a wry smile.

"What? Little Gege didn't protect you?" Fatty Lu pulled Li Tianzhi to the gate of Geng Xinghe Mansion, and asked hypocritically.

"I saved it, and thanks to Little Gege's kindness, my head was saved." Li Tianzhi smiled bitterly, and explained the ins and outs of the matter to Fatty Lu.It turned out that on the third day after Fatty Lu left Fuzhou, Shang Kexi sent Shang Zhixiao to Fuzhou. In addition to thanking Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixiao also killed Li Tianzhi who failed to protect Shang Wanyi to vent his anger on Shang Kexi. Thanks to Shang Wanyi Shang Zhixiao, who tried his best to plead for Li Tianzhi, felt that he was a little sorry for his sister, and then spared Li Tianzhi's life.

Afterwards, Shang Zhixiao originally wanted to send someone to send his sister back to Guangzhou, and he himself had to go to Beijing to discuss salary on behalf of his father, Shang Kexi, but Shang Wanyi didn't know that she had taken the wrong medicine, so she insisted on arguing to go with Shang Zhixiao. Jing, and Shang Zhixiao's stubborn temper is not something Shang Zhixiao can resist—otherwise, Shang Wanyi would never become a nun in history. In desperation, Shang Zhixiao had no choice but to agree to his sister's request.It just so happened that Geng Jimao's second son, Geng Juzhong, and his adopted daughter, Geng Qianxia, ​​were also going to Beijing. Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong decided to go to Beijing together, so they rushed to the capital today.

"General Li, if this is the case, then the Prince Pingnan didn't protect you?" Fatty Lu thought for a while and asked, "As far as I know, the Prince Pingnan has always treated you like a confidant. In Fujian's matter, your responsibility is actually very small, why doesn't he say a few words for you?"

"The prince sent someone to send me a message. This time, the matter is very big, and the prince is very angry. He can't protect me." Li Tianzhi smiled weakly, and said in a low voice: "Thanks to Xiao Gege for saving the last general." Otherwise, I suspect that the people sent by the prince might want to silence the general, lest the general sell the order that the prince gave when he came out at a critical moment. The more the general thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes , so he dared not leave Little Gege's side, and brazenly begged Little Gege to temporarily use the general as a servant and bring the general to the capital."

"Then what do you plan to do in the future?" Fatty Lu continued to ask: "Do you have any family members in Guangzhou?"

"The last general is an orphan. He has been busy with military affairs since he entered the Pingnan Palace, and has not yet married." Li Tianzhi blushed a little, and murmured: "The last general is really desperate now, and he dare not go back to Guangzhou without saying anything. This time Entering Beijing is because of... last time, Mr. Lu, you..., what you said to the last general..."

"Brother Li, you seem to be two years older than me?" Fatty Lu said very seriously: "From now on, I will call you Brother Li! It's the same sentence, as long as you don't dislike my brother, I'm a humble official." , willing to come with me, as long as I have a bite to eat, brother, I will definitely not let you go hungry!"

"Thank you, Master Lu!" Li Tianzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to Fatty Lu, cupped his fists and said, "Master Lu, from today onwards, I, Li Tianzhi, will sell my life to you. Huohai, never frown!"

Li Tianzhi is a kind person and a straightforward person. Of course, Fatty Lu believes what he said. Moreover, Li Tianzhi was born in Laoqiuba. He has seen the world in the army and has rich experience in the army. It is said that it is even more difficult to meet.So Fatty Lu was also overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to Li Tianzhi, cupped his fists and said: "God is above, Lu Yifeng swears to the sky, from now on, Lu Yifeng will treat General Li Tianzhi as a brother, but I'm sorry for anything." Where Brother Li Tianzhi is, heaven will punish him, and earth will destroy him!"

"Lord Lu, you are too polite. I am just an abandoned general of the palace. How can I deserve such a big gift from you?" Li Tianzhi's voice was a little choked up. These days, he had to prevent his black-hearted master Shang Zhixin from killing him, and also had to guard against Seeing the old master Zi Shang Zhixin's nemesis Shang Zhixiao find himself to settle old accounts, it can be said that he can't eat, can't sleep, and doesn't know where to go.Coming to the capital to seek refuge with Fatty Lu was just to try his luck, and he didn't dare to have too much hope. However, Fatty Lu not only agreed to take him in without frowning, but also swore in public to treat him as a brother. Under the circumstances, Li Tianzhi, who was straight, couldn't help but shed tears.

After persuading Li Tianzhi, who was crying, Fatty Lu called Xiao Erlang and Liu Zhen brothers again, and said to Li Tianzhi: "Brother Li, now you can go to Xiao Gege's team first and hand over all your errands, and then talk to Li Tianzhi." Erlang and the others are going to buy a few new sets of clothes, and then come back here and wait for me, I will go in and do some business, and when I come out, I will take you to meet Prince Pingxi."

"Thank you, my lord." Li Tianzhi wiped his tears and clasped his fists in thanks. When he turned around, Li Tianzhi remembered something again, and hurriedly turned around and pulled Fatty Lu aside, and whispered in Fatty Lu's ear: "My lord, since you are ordered If you come to the capital to assist Prince Pingxi's salary negotiation, then there is one thing I must tell you—Shang Zhixiao and the second prince of King Jingnan have joined hands, and are going to use the opportunity of salary negotiation to sell a favor to the court and the emperor. To curry favor with the emperor, wait for the opportunity to overthrow Prince Pingnan and Prince Jingnan, and snatch their elder brother's position as prince."

"Is the news reliable? How do you know?" Fatty Lu was taken aback. The biggest bargaining chip in Wu Sangui's military salary negotiation was that San Francisco joined forces to advance and retreat. The wishful thinking of Yunnan-Guizhou military pay to weaken Kang Mazi's economic foundation is about to come to nothing!
Thinking of this, Fatty Lu shuddered again—because of Fu Honglie's assassination of Shang Wanyi, Kong Sizhen, Fu Honglie's real master, was already hated to the core by San Francisco, but today Kong Sizhen ran to Geng Xinghe's house as if nothing had happened Come to welcome Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, and give back Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe, two San Francisco protons. Playing the pipa and singing, isn't this telling yourself that Kong Sizhen has probably hooked up with Geng Juzhong and Shang Zhixiao? ?
"It's absolutely true, I heard it with my own ears." Sure enough, Li Tianzhi whispered solemnly: "On the canal, Little Gege's boat was always next to the boat of the two second princes. Two nights ago, Probably on the river section out of Shandong, I couldn't sleep at night, so I went for a walk on the deck, and accidentally saw a black figure boarding the boat of the two second princes. I was worried that he would be bad for the two second princes , and quietly touched the boat, only to find out on the boat that the black shadow came to have a secret talk with the two second princes."

"What did you say?" Fatty Lu asked nervously.

"I only remember the general content." Li Tianzhi said: "The man was sent by the University of Tuhaitu, and told the two second princes that the University of Tuhaitu already knew about their desire to be princes, and he could fully support them. But in terms of military pay in San Francisco, the two second princes must show sincerity to the imperial court. Specifically, how to do it. After the two second princes enter Beijing, they can discuss with Si Gege. There is also an apology to the two second princes on behalf of Si Gege. I hope The two second princes were able to put aside their previous suspicions and work together again after entering Beijing. The two second princes agreed, and then I didn't dare to continue eavesdropping, so I fled back to Little Gege's boat."

"I guessed it right, no wonder that bitch Kong Sizhen appeared here today!" Fatty Lu was shocked and angry, and after a little calculation, Fatty Lu said in a low voice: "Brother Li, thank you for providing me with this important information , don't worry, I will truthfully report your contribution to Prince Pingxi and the prince, they are not stingy people, and they will not treat you badly. Okay, you go, remember, don't say anything to the second person about this matter except me. The two brought it up."

"Understood, please be careful, my lord." Li Tianzhi nodded in agreement, and then left with Xiao Erlang and the others—Li Tianzhi, Xiao Erlang and the others were old acquaintances, and they naturally got along extremely well when they met again in the capital.

"It's a good move to get rid of the bottom line. No wonder Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin was betrayed by their second brother in history. It took a long time. The reason is here! But it doesn't matter, now that I am here, Kang Mazi, Kong bitch, don't think about being so complacent It's gone!" Humming a few times in his heart, Fatty Lu turned his head and re-entered the gate of Geng Xinghe Mansion.

………………

All the way into the hall where Kong Sizhen sang, the hall is already full of people, and it is very lively. The brothers and sisters of Geng Shang are either reminiscing about the old days, or chatting, and they are very affectionate. The males from the two families laughed, beat and scolded, and made hands and feet, which added a bit of obscenity to the atmosphere in the hall.Seeing Fatty Lu come in, Kong Sizhen came over and said with a coquettish smile: "Lord Lu, why did you come in now, what did you do outside to steal something just now?"

"I met General Li Tianzhi, an old friend who was in Guangdong back then, and chatted with him for a while." Fatty Lu said intentionally, "Anyway, with the blessing of Sigege slaves, I have lived and died together with him in Fujian. , now that he is in trouble, I can't just ignore him, right?"

Hearing Fatty Lu mention the incident in Fujian, Shang Wanyan's pretty face immediately sank, and she showed anger at Kong Sizhen. Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, who were flirting with Kong Sizhen just now, also had ugly faces—in any case, Kong Sizhen's incident But it almost put San Francisco into a trap.Kong Sizhen was also a little embarrassed, couldn't help but grabbed Fatty Lu's ear, and said angrily: "You kid is still holding grudges, aren't you? That matter has nothing to do with my old lady. Fu Honglie did it behind my back. Now his whole family has been chopped off." You still want to put this account on my old lady's head?"

"Si Gege misunderstood, how dare you remember your grudge in a humble position?" Fatty Lu covered his ears, and said with a wry smile: "Although several Chaozhou soldiers captured by Prince Jingnan confessed, Fu Honglie was also ordered by you, Si Gege, Such a thing can happen——but the humble officials dare to bet their heads that they must have framed the blame to shirk responsibility, Si Gege, you are such a benevolent, straightforward and honest person, how could you do such a thing?"

It is said that Kong Sizhen is benevolent, kind, straightforward and honest, I am afraid that even Kong Sizhen himself does not believe it!But in this way, Fatty Lu also reminded both Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong that for a woman as lewd, vicious, insidious and cunning as Kong Sizhen, it is better to be on guard than not at all!But Kong Sizhen was furious, and was about to slap Fatty Lu when he raised his hand, but just as he raised his hand in the air, a small white hand stretched out from the side and grabbed her wrist. My own person turned out to be Shang Kexi's most beloved youngest daughter, Shang Wanyi!
"Slap!" After all, Shang Wanyi was the one who inherited the Shang family's brutal bloodline, and while Kong Sizhen was in a daze, she suddenly slapped Kong Sizhen hard on the face!Kong Sizhen was even more furious, and when he raised his hand to slap Shang Wanyi back, Shang Wanyi had already bumped into her body, crashed into her arms, grabbed her hair again, scratched, pulled and bit, and She scuffled in public, scolding while beating, "Stinky bitch, I told you to ruin my reputation! Tell you to ruin my reputation!"

"Hey, I didn't expect this little girl Wanyi to have such a skill!" Even Fatty Lu was taken aback when the incident happened suddenly. There was a shiver in my heart, "This little girl is so fierce, will I still have a chance to find a little wife in the future?"

"Wanyan, what are you doing? What are you doing? Pull them away!" Shang Zhixiao and Monk Zhili were in a hurry, and there was a difference between men and women when they wanted to pull them away, so they could only yell and urge the servant girl to come forward, and finally Kong Sizhen was taken away. Monk Wanyi pulled the two tigress apart.At this time, the buns on Shang Wanyi and Kong Sizhen's heads were also messed up, and their hair had already fallen apart. There were a few finger marks on Kong Sizhen's face, and two rows of teeth marks appeared on Shang Wanyi's neck. Very intense.

"Wanyan, are you crazy girl? How could you be so rude to Si Gege?" Shang Zhixiao yelled at Shang Wanyan furiously.

"What's wrong with my rudeness?" Shang Wanyi glared at Kong Sizhen viciously, and said coldly to Shang Zhixiao: "This bitch sent someone to assassinate me, and even wanted to strip me of my clothes and humiliate me before killing me! You are my second elder brother. Not only did you not help me get this justice back, but you even flirted with her and flirted with her. Is there anyone like you who is the second elder brother? If you let my father and eldest brother know, hehe, father I will be so happy to establish you as the crown prince!"

Shang Zhixiao shuddered, and then remembered that her younger sister was the most favored by her father. If she said bad things about her to her father, and her good brother Shang Zhixin was fanning the wind and lighting the will-o'-the-wisp, she would not say that she was the king of Pingnan The son is now, whether the existing power can be kept or not is probably a big problem!Under timidity, Shang Zhixiao hurriedly said: "Little sister, you misunderstood, the matter in Fujian is Fu Honglie's own decision, it has nothing to do with Si Gege, don't do this to Si Gege."

Saying that, Shang Zhixiao winked at Kong Sizhen killing chickens and wiping his neck, and begged Kong Sizhen to take care of his own face, and don't be as knowledgeable as a hot-tempered little girl like himself!Kong Sizhen also knew that she was wrong, so she suppressed her anger and said to Shang Wanyi: "Little Gege, you misunderstood, it's all because Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, those two dog slaves are not things, they are so bold that they want to hurt you, it really has nothing to do with my sister How about this, my sister is here to make amends to you, so you can forgive your sister."

As he said that, Kong Sizhen pulled Fatty Lu over again, punched and kicked and said, "It's all because of this fat man talking nonsense, he can't open that pot and lift that pot! Otherwise, wouldn't our sisters have been very affectionate just now?"

"Whose sister are you?" Shang Wanyi said coldly, and then asked, "Since you didn't appoint me, why do Fu Honglie's lackeys say it was your order?"

Kong Sizhen was speechless, but secretly hated Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, two bastards—why did they bring such a bunch of bastards to Fujian to do business, and only confessed after using more than a dozen tortures?
"Second Brother Geng, Third Brother Geng." Shang Wanyi turned to Geng Juzhong and Geng Xinghe again, and said with tears in her beautiful eyes: "You are all my relatives, I have suffered so much in Fujian, and I thank Geng Shibo for making a move. Saved each other, my little sister was lucky enough to escape with her life, so my little sister didn't dare to criticize you—but my little sister, I don't want to stay here with my enemy, so let's continue eating, chatting, and listening to dramas here Sing the song, my little sister will bid farewell first!"

After all, Shang Wanyi shook off the maid and walked away, while Geng Xinghe and Geng Juzhong were sweating profusely—if Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong knew how close they were to Kong Sizhen, they would not let them go.In desperation, Brother Geng Juzhong could only shout: "Little sister, where are you going? Come back quickly, this is the capital, you don't know the way!"

"Little Gege doesn't know the way. The trouble was caused by the humble officer. I will go after her first and come to plead guilty later." Seeing that the situation was not good, Fatty Lu hurriedly ran away, leaving the Geng family brothers, the Shang family brothers, Kong Sizhen and others behind. People peeped at each other in the hall, at a loss.
