scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 88 Back to Kunming

(PS: Pure Wolf is not feeling well, as if sick, so the plot and word count are less today, please forgive me.)
Although Fatty Lu successfully prevented Lin Tianqing from pleading for Li Shizu, and also made Lin Tianqing, who was planning to favor him, more inclined to himself, but Lin Tianqing has not yet officially taken over the post, and Lin Tianqing, the old official fox who finally turned salty fish, also It is impossible for Fatty Lu to joke about his future and official career because of Fatty Lu's few words, and directly use the extremely taboo method of beheading first and playing later to deal with Li Suzu, so Lin Tianqing can only follow the rules and go through the procedure, so as not to be caught by others Hold on.

Lin Tianqing really had no choice. Li Shizu was born in the Tieling Li family. This family's status in this dynasty is very sensitive. Prince Kang Jieshu, this old man is not someone to provoke, the prince is still Xiao Mazi's cousin, if he goes out to support Li Suzu with all his strength, Lin Tianqing will not be able to do anything if he wants to, and of course he dare not stay Lin Tianqing is not that stupid to let others catch the handle.

Of course, Fatty Lu didn’t want to give Li Shizu a chance to breathe, but it’s a pity that nine out of ten unsatisfactory things happen in life. On the first day of March, Lin Tianqing set off from Qujing to Kunming to receive the seal, and Fatty Lu had to go with him. One was to attend Lin Tianqing’s The second is to visit Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi, Liu Xuanchu and other backers and teachers for the ceremony of taking office, which cannot be shirked in any case, and the third point is to go to Kunming to officially get married with Monk Wanyi—this point There is no way to shirk.

So there was no other way, Fatty Lu had no choice but to temporarily put down the county affairs, and temporarily entrusted some key witnesses and material evidence to Wang Jing, deputy general of Yunnan Province, for protection to prevent Li Suzu from murdering people, and then brought his fiancée Shang Wanyi, Zhu Fangdan, and Xiao Erlang , Fang Shiyu and other dog legs left Qujing City and followed Lin Tianqing to Kunming City to take office.The experienced, seasoned and steady Li Tianzhi stayed in Qujing City with the three brothers of the Liu family. One was to monitor Li Suzu's actions, and the other was to cooperate with Wang Jing to protect witnesses and material evidence, so as to minimize any accidents.

In addition, under the persuasion of Fatty Lu, Lin Tianqing secretly summoned Zhang Gaomo, the acquaintance of Qujing who had been overwhelmed by Li Shizu for a long time, secretly ordered him to monitor Li Shizu, and promised to bring down Li Shizu He straightened Zhang Gaomo and planted another nail beside Li Suzu.But in any case, Li Shizu still got an extremely valuable respite, and it also gave him a glimmer of hope in his plan to stir things up-of course, while making things bigger and winning a glimmer of hope, Li Shizu himself also had a lot of hope. A point of danger, a little carelessness, the end will only be worse.

On the first day of March, he left Qujing City with Lin Tianqing's team. Fatty Lu suddenly discovered that Wu Guogui had also left Qujing City with his wife and children and hundreds of soldiers, and joined Lin Tianqing's team. Fatty Lu couldn't help being very curious As soon as he started on the road, he looked for an opportunity to ask Wu Guogui: "General Wu, aren't you inspecting the military affairs of Youzhen on behalf of Prince Pingxi? Why, the errands are over?"

"It's over." Wu Guogui nodded and said with a smile, "Wang Junmen didn't say he was leading the troops. In fact, I was just going through a cutscene. Now that the cutscene is over, I should go back and do another job on the way."

"Just do another errand on the road?" Fatty Lu was stunned, and asked, "What errand? Between Qujing and Kunming, there seems to be no big city and large garrison?"

"What errand? Of course it is to protect you and your little Gege!" Wu Guogui said angrily: "You abducted Xiao Gege from the Pingnan Palace to Yunnan, and made such a big commotion that the Pingnan Prince was so angry that he died on the spot. He vomited blood. These days, the prince quarrels with Prince Pingnan every day. With the virtue of Prince Pingnan, you are not afraid that he will send assassins to kill you? The prince is worried about this, so you just asked me to take someone with you as soon as you returned to Qujing. coming."

"Who says I'm not afraid? Otherwise, what would I do with Fang Shiyu with me at any time?" Fatty Lu murmured in his heart, but with an apologetic smile on his face, he said, "It turns out that General Wu has a secret mission to protect the subordinates. , I am really flattered and terrified that I dare to work for the general.”

"It's good that you know." Wu Guogui said unceremoniously: "When you arrive in Kunming, give the prince a few more kowtows to thank him. If the prince didn't protect you, several of your heads would have been chopped off! Do you think Pingnan Palace is the master who can suffer from being dumb?"

"That's it, that's it." Fatty Lu nodded and bowed, agreeing with a flattering face, and muttered in his heart: "This matter is actually up to you——If you had shown me that your daughter Wu Xiaotu is so beautiful, I would have been right." Shang Wanyan is tempted? I must have asked the teacher to be a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and there is no need to make such a big noise?"

Muttering in his heart, Fatty Lu's eyes couldn't help but glanced at the carriage behind Wu Guogui, hoping to see Wu Xiaotu's pretty face again, which is also a wish of heaven. At this moment, Wu Xiaotu poked his head out of the carriage Come on, first smiled at Fatty Lu politely, then turned to Wu Guogui and said, "Father, I'm so boring sitting in the car alone, I want to chat with her in Little Gege's carriage, is it okay?"

"You go." Wu Guogui nodded and agreed.Wu Xiaotu was overjoyed, and hurriedly got out of the carriage with the help of the maid, and quickly ran to the back to get into Shang Wanyi's carriage. Over there, Shang Wanyi happily lifted the curtain and pulled Wu Xiaotu into the carriage himself, looking very affectionate .Fatty Lu couldn't help being stunned again, and said in doubt: "When did these two little girls get so familiar?"

"You don't know?" Wu Guogui was taken aback for a while, and then said: "That's right, you have been busy in the yamen and the fields these days, and you probably don't know that my little Tu went to visit your little Gege every day during this time. They seem to get along very well." After finishing speaking, Wu Guogui added uneasy, "But this general can warn you, take care of your wife, my little dodder is still young, don't lead my little dodder down. "

Fatty Lu smiled wryly and didn't speak, and he had nothing to say, while Wu Guogui chattered and said, "Do you know? How much trouble did you make about Little Gege? Prince Pingnan made three memorials to impeach him. The prince connived at his subordinates to abduct his daughter and asked the court to punish the prince. And the poor second prince Pingnan Wang, you have given him a lot of trouble. When he returned to Guangdong, all his military power was confiscated and he was beaten by the prince Pingnan. The slap in the face also hates you to the core. Not to mention, there is also news that some generals of the Pingnan Palace have volunteered to bring troops to settle accounts with you!"

"What about Prince Pingnan?" Fatty Lu was only worried about Shang Zhixin's reaction. As for Shang Zhixiao and the rest of the Prince's Palace, what did Fatty Lu think? Let them die!If they really dared to lead their troops across the country under the suspicion of treason, Fatty Lu would laugh so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth!
"Prince Pingnan didn't say anything." Wu Guogui said with a smile: "According to our eyeliner report in the Pingnan Palace, Prince Pingnan even got into trouble this time and severely dealt with his ambitious brother, pointing out Xiaoge in person. In fact, he was driven away by Shang Zhixiao's filial piety, and encouraged Prince Pingnan to vent his anger like Shang Zhixiao. Looking at this posture, at least Shang Zhixin won't hate you, on the contrary, he might secretly thank you."

"As long as Shang Zhixin is not popular." Fatty Lu heaved a sigh of relief—Fatty Lu is not afraid that Shang Zhixin will turn against him. Shang Zhixin's power in Guangzhou.

After finally waiting for Wu Guogui, who was a little bit talkative, to have enough talking, Fatty Lu hurriedly found an excuse to return to his team, and then used the excuse of visiting his fiancée to touch the side of Shang Wanyi's carriage, opened the curtains, and was chatting inside. Shang Wanyi and Wu Xiaotu, who were struggling, smirked and asked, "Wanyi, is the car still comfortable? Do you want to add some cotton mattresses? Qujing is more than 200 miles away from Kunming, and it takes two days to walk. Are you used to it?"

He was concerned about Shang Wanyi, but Fatty Lu secretly stared at Wu Xiaotu with squinting eyes, swallowed quietly, and began to fantasize in his heart, "If I can go to bed with these two beauties at the same time, what should I do?" How wonderful is that?"

"It's okay, the car is very comfortable." Shang Wanyi didn't notice Fatty Lu's sinister intentions, but ordered arrogantly: "Go, bring the candied fruit and melon seeds I brought from Qujing, the ones in the car have been taken by me. Finished eating with sister Xiaotu. Also, let the servant girl boil water in the car to make a pot of tea, and ask for your Yunnan Puer tea."

"Okay." Fatty Lu agreed casually, his pair of thief eyes still staring at Wu Xiaotu's small breasts that had begun to take shape, and his body refused to move.Shang Wanyan finally realized that the situation was wrong, and quickly blocked Fatty Lu's sight with her body, reached out the window, grabbed Fatty Lu's ear, pulled Fatty Lu to the front, and shouted in a low voice with a smile on her face: "Fatty, are you looking there? Are you tired of living?"

Even though Shang Wan's insidious appearance of smirking but not smiling is still so charming, and her murderous eyes are still radiant, but Fatty Lu was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, and he said tremblingly: "No... , I didn’t look around there, did I?”

"Did you look around there?" Shang Wanyi smiled colder and colder, but considering that Wu Xiaotu was right behind him, and there were countless sergeants and officials beside her, the more rational Shang Wanyi finally suppressed her anger and put Fatty Lu's ear Grabbing it in front of her, she said in a very low voice: "There are too many people, I will show you some face, and I will settle the score with you later in the evening! By the way, I will give you a piece of advice. Sister Xiaotu has just turned 14 years old. If you hit her with bad ideas, old lady The first to strangle you! Do you understand?"

"Ming...understood." Fatty Lu agreed tremblingly, but he couldn't help pondering in his heart, "Just turned 14 years old? So I'm still relatively young, do I still have a chance? Wait until I have power, power, guns and guns Now that I have a territory, are you still afraid that Wu Guogui won’t obediently marry his daughter to me?”

"Why are your eyes rolling? Are you thinking about some bad idea again?" Anyway, after sleeping with Fatty Lu for two months, Shang Wanyi could tell at a glance that Fatty Lu was holding back again. Wan Yan twisted Fatty Lu's fat ears severely, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out of here soon? Do you want me to beat you up at night?" Fatty Lu trembled all over, and finally left obediently.

Whether Shang Wanyan did what she said is not clear to others. In short, when Yilongbao was resting for the night that night, there was an extremely terrifying scream in Yilongbao, not only louder than a full He screamed for half a night, making everyone in Yilongbao unable to sleep. He also solved the problem of beasts hurting people that had plagued Yilongbao for many years in one fell swoop—tigers, leopards, and wild wolves were all scared away!

………………

On the morning of the third day of March, Lin Tianqing, Wu Guogui, and Fatty Lu's team finally arrived at Kunming city. All the officials in Kunming city went out to greet them. Wu Sangui also sent Wu Yingqi and Liu Xuanchu as representatives to welcome Lin Tianqing to assume office again.Seeing Liu Xuanchu who led him on the road again after half a year, Fatty Lu was both excited and excited, and immediately pulled Shang Wanyi out of the car, and saluted in front of Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi. Originally, Fatty Lu wanted to bow to Liu Xuanchu, but Liu Xuanchu He was the first to stop him, and said with a smile: "There are many people here, let's talk about it when we go back."

"Haha!" Wu Yingqi is not as calm as Liu Xuanchu, as soon as they met, he hugged Fatty Lu, lifted Lu Fatty up, and shook Lu Fatty's body of two hundred kilograms while laughing and said: "Okay Fatty Lu, you are finally back! Well done, well done! Of all the officials I personally promoted, you are the one who has given me the most credit!"

Wu Yingqi was indeed very grateful to Fatty Lu, because Fatty Lu, whom he had personally selected, succeeded in successive tasks, each job was more difficult than the last, and each job was better than the last, not only the whole of the Pingxi Palace benefited from it , Wu Sangui is full of praise. Under the love of the house and the black, Wu Yingqi, who has "wisdom and insight", is also praised by his father. He has also shouldered more burdens and gained more power. His attitude towards Fatty Lu, a capable man, can be worse go?Excited, Wu Yingqi simply said: "Yifeng, do you know? Thanks to you, my father has allowed me to select officials at the prefecture level..."

"Second Prince, be careful." Fortunately, there was a very calm Liu Xuanchu beside him, who stopped him in time, then pouted to the side, and said in a low voice: "Second Prince, there are too many people present, so we will talk about confidential matters when we return to the palace."

"Then..., okay." Wu Yingqi agreed helplessly.Fatty Lu over there was also afraid that Wu Yingqi's big-mouthed nonsense would miss the big deal, so he quickly pulled Shang Wanyi over and introduced, "Wanyi, this is Mr. Liu Xuanchu and the second prince Wu Yingqi. If they hadn't strongly recommended them, I would There is no chance to see you in Guangdong, and when you and I return to Yunnan, we rely on them to deal with us in front of the prince, so that we can remain safe and sound. They are all our benefactors, so salute them quickly."

Hearing Fatty Lu's words, Shang Wanyan blushed. She didn't know whether to thank Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi, or to hate them—why did she send Fatty Lu, her own nemesis, to Guangdong?But Shang Wanyi honestly wished both Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi a blessing, and said with a blushing face, "My little girl, Shang Wanyi, met Mr. Liu and the second prince."

"You're welcome, Little Gege." Liu Xuanchu respectfully returned the salute.On the other hand, Wu Yingqi bowed his hands symbolically, looked at Shang Wanyi unceremoniously and carefully, and then smirked at Fatty Lu, "Fatty Lu, I can't see that you still have such skills, such a beautiful little Gege, how can you actually be so handsome?" He can also be kidnapped to Yunnan. He is indeed a talent who went out of our Pingxi Palace, and he didn't embarrass the Palace or me!"

Fatty Lu smirked, Shang Wanyan blushed even more, she was so ashamed that she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and slip in.Liu Xuanchu saw Shang Wanyan's embarrassment, waved it with a pipe, and said, "Stop talking here, Master Lin's sealing ceremony will be held tomorrow, Yifeng, go over and say hello to Master Lin, let's go back to Wuhua Mountain together Well, the lord has already prepared a banquet there, and is going to greet you young couple personally."

"Yes." Fatty Lu agreed, and was about to turn around and greet Lin Tianqing.But at that moment, a few fast horses came rushing over from Wuhua Mountain, leading a man with a long robe and green skirt, beautiful eyes and eyebrows, but Wang Shirong, Fatty Lu's only opponent in the Pingxi Palace so far, and Fatty Lu frowned Head, I said in my heart that I am afraid there will not be only happy things today.

Sure enough, Wang Shirong really came for Fatty Lu, and he went straight to Fatty Lu before getting off his horse, and walked directly in front of Fatty Lu with a sullen face.Liu Xuanchu was afraid of the conflict between the two, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Liangchen, if you have anything to say, go back to the palace. Yifeng, don't speak indiscriminately."

"Mr. Maoxia, do you think Wang Shirong is really narrow-minded, and he came here this time to embarrass Master Lu?" Wang Shirong asked Liu Xuanchu in displeasure.

"Then what are you doing here?" Liu Xuanchu froze for a moment, and said, "The old man invited you to meet Lord Hou Lin and Yifeng before, didn't you say you were not feeling well?"

"I was a little uncomfortable before, but now something happened, so I had to come." Wang Shirong replied coldly.

"What happened?" Fatty Lu finally spoke, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"The matter between you and Li Shizu is getting serious." Wang Shirong threw a small bamboo tube into Lu Fatty's arms, turned around and left, "Flying pigeons who just came from Guiyang passed on the letter, and Li Shizu expedited it with six hundred miles. Yueji reported to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Bian Sanyuan, to impeach Lin Tianqing for accepting bribes from you, intentionally favoring and slandering him, and asked Bian Sanyuan to intervene."

Speaking of this, Wang Shirong had already mounted his horse again, and said coldly: "There is also news, on the day you left Qujing, Li Shizu's wife Ren Zeyu set off for the capital, very fast, and arrived in Anshun yesterday!— —I really don’t know what you and Lin Tianqing are doing, since you want to attack Li Suzu, why give him a chance to breathe?”

After all, Wang Shirong patted his horse and left without looking back, while Fatty Lu and Wu Yingqi looked at each other in blank dismay. They really didn't understand how Wang Shirong, who had always been unhappy with Fatty Lu, could become like this.On the contrary, Liu Xuanchu smiled, patted Fatty Lu on the shoulder and said: "A good minister has always had such a temper. Although he is a little narrow-minded, he is still very firm in matters related to the Pingxi Palace—otherwise, he just needs to put If you reveal your identity to the court a little bit, your errands will not be so easy to handle. Alright, go and give this to Lin Tianqing, and let him get ready too."
