scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 98

The prince went out to Beijing to visit relatives, or to visit relatives in Yunnan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away and the mountains are poor. The ostentation is naturally extraordinary.However, because our Prince Kang Jieshu is a good prince who loves the people like a son, is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, he didn't put on any airs or show any pomp along the way, he just hurried all the way, day and night, until he arrived at Guiyang City Here, King Kang could not resist the sincere plea made by Bian Sanyuan, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Bian Butang, who was flattered collectively by the common people of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Lord Kang is here, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Bian Sanyuan, is also here in person. Of course, officials of all sizes in the officialdom of Yunnan dare not neglect. The civil and military officials rushed to Shengjingguan to greet him; although Wu Sangui knew that Jieshu's visitor was not kind, he didn't dare to go through the motions when it came to face matters, and sent Wu Sanmei and Hu Guozhu to meet Jieshu at Shengjingguan. The honor guard team is also planning to invite Kang Wangye to visit Kunming and enjoy the scenery of Dianchi Lake.

This time it was finally confirmed by Zhou Peigong. Wu Sangui and the Pingxi Palace think tank actually understood the real purpose of Jieshu's visit - to cheer for his son-in-law Li Suzu and to clean up Fatty Lu who despised the authority of Prince Kang. The bastard, by the way, personally visit the Pingxi palace, and formulate further information for Xiaomazi's Yunnan-Guizhou policy.But as Zhou Peigong expected, the indecisive Wu Sangui would never have the guts to turn against Lord Kang for a seventh-rank official like Fatty Lu, and fight to the end with Lord Kang. Fatty, let Fatty Lu ask for more blessings.

Fatty Lu's good teacher, Liu Xuanchu, knows Wu Sangui better than anyone else, and he quickly saw through Li Suzu's strategy of the Raptors suppressing local snakes, and Wu Sangui's weak position in this matter, but Liu Xuanchu also knew very well that he It is absolutely impossible to persuade Wu Sangui to turn against Jie Shu for Fatty Lu.So Liu Xuanchu had no choice but to try his best to persuade Wu Sangui to save Fatty Lu's life, and try to let Fatty Lu be dismissed from office. Afterwards, slowly find a way to get Fatty Lu back into the official position—on this point, Liu Xuanchu still has a lot of confidence, and he also persuaded Wu Sangui to accept his proposal as he wished, determined to save Fatty Lu's life at all costs.

When the plans of good and evil parties were settled, on the eighth day of the seventh month of the seventh year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Lord Kang’s team finally arrived at Shengjing Pass. Thousands of attendants knelt on both sides of the road together, shouting in unison, the prince, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, the scene was spectacular.It also made King Kang, who was out of Beijing for the first time to inspect, very satisfied, feeling awe-inspiring, and said to himself that it is no wonder that the imperial guards and princes in the capital have sharpened their heads and wanted to go out of Beijing. So majestic and proud, with countless people kowtow to pay respects and so many people scrambling to give money, it seems that I will find a way to go to Beijing a few more times in the future to help these local officials spend some local money.

There is also something that makes King Kang very dissatisfied, that is, Yunnan and Guizhou are too poor. Most of the people of Han, Yi, Miao, Dong and Bai ethnic groups on both sides of the road are naked, yellow and thin, and most of them are holding hoes. Working tools such as dung forks and shoulder poles are very obtrusive, and they smeared the face of the prosperous Qing Dynasty. How can it compare to the bright clothes, red faces and potbellies of our Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty?Of course, the things in our hands are not as good as the birdcages, smoking pots and cricket jars in the hands of our Manchurian Eight Banners men!

"You dog slaves, stay away, don't spoil the scenery here, hurry up to farm and pay taxes, we Eight Banners are still waiting to eat hard-core crops!" Lord Kang cursed fiercely in his heart.

What made King Kang even more dissatisfied was still to come. The three giants of Yunnan and most of the officials from Yunnan who could come, the imperial envoy Yu Jackie Chan, and the representatives of Pingxi Palace also came. Son-in-law Hu Guozhu, even Kong Sizhen Sigege, a beauty who is not based in Yunnan, and Bian Sanyuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guiyang who are permanently stationed in Guiyang, are here. The dry son-in-law Li Suizu, the prefect of Qujing, nodded and bowed so that people suspected that he wanted to lick Lord Kang's shoes, but Kang A bastard whom the lord paid close attention to did not come - this bastard who knows nothing about heaven and earth is of course our fat Lu San.

"Lin Zhongcheng, come here." After all, Lord Kang is a nobleman, a well-known figure who will find the right target when he loses his temper. First, he called Lin Tianqing in front of him, and coldly snorted at Lin Tianqing: "Lin Zhongcheng, I heard that Qu Jing Lu Yifeng, the county magistrate, is your relative and child? Is there such a thing?"

"No, it's not." Lin Tianqing, an old fox in the officialdom, knew that Lord Kang wanted to show him off, so he quickly wiped off his sweat and explained, "Your lord doesn't know anything, the official and Mr. Lu just lived together for a while in Prince Pingxi's mansion. Time, they are relatively familiar with each other, he respects the subordinate officials as elders, and the subordinate officials treat him as his friends who forget the years, and there is no particularly close relationship."

"Really?" Lord Kang snorted coldly: "Then you, as an elder, seem to be far from enough to teach the younger generation, and you don't even follow the minimum etiquette. My king came to visit my relatives in Yunnan, and he didn't even greet you." Why don't you come and greet me? Is this the prestige of local officials?"

"This prince is still a little tender. You are visiting relatives, and you are not on an errand. Don't say that Lu Yifeng will not come to pick you up. Even if you don't see you even once in Qujing, he will take full advantage of it - there is no such thing as law. It is stipulated that local officials must welcome and pay respects to the provincial relatives. If you make trouble in the court, you will be the only one who will be unlucky." Lin Tianqing murmured in his heart, and said with an apologetic smile on his face: "Go back to the lord, it is no wonder that you are dismissed from office. The official asked Mr. Lu to come and greet him, but Mr. Lu said that the autumn harvest is coming soon and he has to be busy organizing the autumn harvest, so he has already asked for leave from Shang Xianli's residence, so he will not come."

"Busy about the autumn harvest?" Lord Kang sneered even louder, and said, "I'm afraid you didn't take this king seriously because of Lin Zhongcheng's protection and favor, so you didn't come on purpose?"

"My lord has been unjustly dismissed from office." Lin Tianqing called out his grievances, and said, "Your lord misunderstood, how dare you protect him? Your lord and him are just ordinary friends who have forgotten the years, so how dare you waste your friendship?" National law? If the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask Li Futai to see if Lu Yifeng sued him for falsehood?"

Lord Kang continued to sneer, and turned to look at Wu Sanmei and Hu Guozhu who were a little further away. Seeing that their faces were sinking like water, they didn't say anything.Prince Kang smiled complacently, and then turned his gaze to Li Suizu. Li Suizu understood, and hurriedly said: "Back to your father-in-law, what Lin Zhongcheng said is correct. Lu Yifeng is indeed telling his son-in-law a lie. The time is in Lin Zhongcheng's time." Before arriving in Qujing, it does not seem to have been instructed by Lin Zhongcheng."

"That's good." Lord Kang nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Lin Tianqing with a sneer and said, "Lin Zhongcheng, for the sake of your being an official in the same province as my son-in-law, let's forget about the past. But in the future, if you have any intentional favoritism Don't blame me for not thinking about the old love for the cover-up, okay?"

"I don't dare to be an official, I dare not to be an official." Lin Tianqing agreed repeatedly, with more and more sweat on his face, and said in his heart: "My nephew Sanhao, if you are not an uncle, I don't care about you, Lord Kang has already said so openly Well, these scumbags in the province don’t dare to stand on your side. Uncle has to be wise and protect himself. You can ask for blessings. ——As an uncle, you can’t gamble with your wealth and life. Is your nephew and a prince falling out with each other?"

Sure enough, Lin Tianqing had guessed that Prince Kang was so clearly on the side of his son-in-law, and the other two tycoons in Yunnan, Li Xingyuan and Cui Zhiying, immediately rushed forward like flies seeing blood, leading a lot of snobbish eyes to do what they liked He kept 'praising and praising' Fatty Lu, while Lord Kang nodded repeatedly, appearing very satisfied.Seeing this scene, Lin Tianqing sighed softly again, and turned his attention to Jackie Chan, the official imperial envoy who had been surrounded by Kong Sizhen and Zhou Peigong, but he saw Jackie Chan smiling happily, as if he was very interested in those who were interested in Jieshu before. The discourse of losing identity and overreaching and interfering in politics has been turned a deaf ear.

"Nephew Mihao, you are out of luck." Lin Tianqing murmured again in his heart, "If the imperial envoy who came was another Yu Chenglong, then your life would definitely be better, that old Yu Jackie is a person who dares to fight with Prince Baylor. Desperate Lord! Hehe, if it was Wang Xu who came, then your life would be better, that Erlangzi, just based on what Lord Kang said today, he can give Shenfei the prince hat of Lord Kang! Unfortunately, You're out of luck."

........................

With the emperor's cousin Lord Kang in charge, Kong Sizhen and Li Shizu and other Qing loyalists suddenly gained a lot of confidence, and they also worried that Lord Kang would come into direct contact with the unruly people in Qujing - Lord Kang would never Killed his son-in-law for the sake of a few poor people?And Prince Kang also looked down on these ethnic minority chieftains in Yunnan, and continued to head south after spending one night in Pingyi, all the way straight to Zhanyi Qujing, which made the Pingyi land tycoon Longkuo who was planning to curry favor with the prince very annoyed.

There are also those who remain vigilant at all times, and Zhou Peigong is one of them. During this period of time, Zhou Peigong has been bringing the thirteen yamen masters secretly transferred by Kong Sizhen to stare at Xiaoyu Jackie Chan, guarding against the imperial decree and monk Fang's sword in his hand. The second and fifth boy got in touch with Fatty Lu, and he was even more afraid that this second and fifth boy would suddenly turn against him and kill everyone by surprise-if this guy really took out Shangfang's sword and Jieshu to death, Lord Kang would have to weigh it in and forcefully intervene The consequences of imperial envoy law enforcement.

Zhou Peigong's carefulness finally paid off handsomely. On the afternoon of the second day after leaving Pingyi, when the team arrived at Baishui Pass, taking advantage of the chaotic opportunity of a large team passing through, the two attendants brought by Jackie Chan from the capital suddenly left the team and rode On the fast horse, he rushed to Qujing first.Zhou Peigong heard the news and flew to report to Kong Sizhen. Kong Sizhen immediately sent thirteen yamen masters to chase and intercept them, and finally caught up with them. He asked them to return to the brigade on the pretext that Han and Yi lived together in Yunnan and the road was not safe enough. Two followers of Yu Chenglong explained that they They are going to Zhanyi to stand in front of Jackie Chan and prepare a residence, so that the team will not have a place to stay when they arrive in Zhanyi.

No matter how few houses there are in Zhanyitu Zhizhou Anmin's house, it is impossible for the imperial envoy to spend the night in the open air, right?Regarding Yu Chenglong's entourage's superficial excuse, Kong Sizhen's thirteen yamen masters did not expose it face to face, but they also assured with a smile that Yu Chenglong and his party must have a place to stay when they arrive in Zhanyi, and they will not let these two entourages He went ahead and persisted until Lord Kang's team arrived at the scene. Yu Jackie Chan, who failed to succeed in his trick, called back the two followers and asked them to join the team again.

In order to suppress the actions of the younger than Jackie Chan, when they stayed in Zhanyi that night, Kang Wangye and Kong Sizhen jointly called Yu Chenglong into the room and issued a warning to Yu Jackie Chan.First of all, Lord Kang sang the red face, and said with a sneer: "Master Yu, if I remember correctly, you seem to be a slave under the banner of the inlaid yellow flag, right? Although my son-in-law Li Suizu is under the Zhengbai Banner and you are not the same flag, but Between us banner people, shouldn't we look after each other and help each other? Let's make less trouble?"

"My lord, what are you talking about? Why can't you understand me?" Yu Chenglong asked with hypocritical doubts.

"Stop pretending to me, what are you planning to do by sending people to Qujing today?" Lord Kang waved his hand and asked viciously.

"My lord misunderstood. I sent people to Zhanyi Daqian to prepare for the overnight stay, but I didn't send them back to Qujing." Yu Chenglong argued.

"My lord, from the point of view of the Yinu family, since Master Yu said that, he can't be wrong and has no other meaning." Kong Sizhen sang a white face, and said delicately: "Besides, since Master Yu arrived in Qujing, there is still a relationship with us. Getting along with Li Futai is still very good, of course Master Yu will not do anything to be sorry for his friends, Master Yu, are you right?"

"Of course." Yu Chenglong nodded quickly, and said: "Si Gege's words are very true. Although Yu Chenglong is not talented, he will never do or dare to betray his friends."

"My lord Yu is right, that's the truth." Kong Sizhen hit the snake with a stick, and said with a coquettish smile: "When doing things in the officialdom, people pay attention to being in harmony with the light, and my lord understood this truth at the time—and never thought of it like that." Like Mr. Yu's mentor Wang Zongxian, he offends people everywhere, and when something happens, there is not even a friend who can talk to him. Mr. Yu, are you right?"

Kong Sizhen's words included Wang Xu, who was kind to Jackie Chan, who was kind to Jackie Chan. Of course, Jackie Chan stopped talking, and his thin face was a little elongated.Kong Sizhen observed his words and expressions, and knew that he had touched Yu Chenglong's reverse scale, so he got up and walked to Yu Chenglong's side, squeezed into a chair next to Yu Chenglong and sat down, pressed his small hand on Yu Chenglong's thigh, rubbed it lightly, and smiled coquettishly Asked: "What's the matter? Is it because the slave family accidentally insulted Master Yu's mentor, and Master Yu became angry and stopped talking?"

"If this is the case, then I will apologize to Lord Yu." Kong Sizhen's smile became more and more charming, and he gently pinched Yu Chenglong's thigh, and said softly: "However, I think I am right, I don't understand Sir Yu, why are you so determined? Yes, Li Suzu is a little outrageous, Sir Yu, you sent your subordinates to go deep into the folks, and the crimes collected by Li Suzu are true, all of them are true... .”

"Si Gege, you know everything?" Yu Chenglong was shocked.

"Of course I know. The Nu family is in charge of the thirteen yamen in the south for the emperor in Guangxi. On the open face of the lord, they have made false claims with the Nu family, and secretly sent their entourage to investigate quietly. How can this little trick be hidden from the eyes of the Nu family?" Kong Sizhen laughed so hard that her branches trembled wildly, she disdained Jackie Chan's superficial methods of investigating the case.At the end, Kong Sizhen leaned close to Jackie Chan's ear again, and said in a breathless voice: "However, does Master Yu know that Li Suzu's Li Futai is in Qujing, and he is actually secretly undertaking a job similar to that of the Thirteenth Yamen, you know?" What is his errand?"

"Surveillance of Lord Pingxi?" Yu Chenglong asked in a deep voice.

Kong Sizhen finally put away her charming smile, showing a rare serious expression, nodded solemnly, and said: "Yes, Lord Yu should now understand why Li Suzu has so many mistakes, so many mistakes, the emperor and the court have been reluctant to attack him. It is easy to overthrow Li Suzu, but after he is overthrown, who will monitor the Pingxi Palace for the emperor and the court? Who will control the Qujing Mansion, the throat of Yunnan and Guizhou for the emperor and the court? Have you ever thought about this, Mr. Yu? ?”

Yu Chenglong stopped talking again, Kong Sizhen winked at Jie Shu, Jie Shu understood, and immediately said: "My lord, to be honest, after hearing Si Gege's secret report about Li Suzu to this king, this king He was also filled with anger, and he also wanted to cut Li Shizu into pieces and return justice to the people of Qujing! However, it is easy to kill Li Shizu, where can he find someone who is loyal to the emperor and the court to replace him? , Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s not scary to make mistakes, what’s scary is that there is no chance to correct mistakes, so you don’t want to give Li Suzu such a chance to correct?”

"My lord, I beg you from my family and Lord Kang, please let Li Suzu go for a while." Kong Sizhen almost snuggled into Jackie Chan's arms, and whispered in Jackie Chan's ear: "Look, the prince is going south to visit his relatives, come here. The one who visited was Li Suzu. You will convict Li Suzu, where will you save the face of the prince? The thirteen yamen of the slave family have a lot of information to be collected from Li Suzu. Down, where should I go to gather information?"

"So, Master Yu, I beg you, let Li Suzu off once, give him a chance to correct himself, and let him promise that he will never dare again, okay?" Kong Sizhen's voice seemed to be mixed with honey. , sweet and glutinous, "I guess, even if your mentor Wang Zongxian, Mr. Yu, is here, or your brother Yu Chenglong, who has the same name and surname as you, is here, he will understand the righteousness and give Li Suzu this meritorious deed. Master Yu, don’t you adore your mentor and your elder brother of the same name, Yu Chenglong? Don’t you want to learn from them?”

"Of course, after the matter is completed, both this king and Si Gege will be rewarded generously!" Jie Shu promised: "After returning to Beijing, this king will secretly report to the emperor your profound righteousness, and will truthfully explain your profound righteousness. Your Majesty, please reward you for your various contributions! In addition, this king will ask Li Suzu to prepare a generous gift to thank you for your life-saving grace."

"My family will also thank you, sir. No matter what Master Yu wants, my family will never refuse..." Kong Sizhen cast a charming sideways glance at Jackie Chan, and then lightly squeezed his thigh, provocatively, He expressed it with words, and said in his heart, if I can't hook up with Jackie Chan, the old man, can my old lady hook up with you, who is younger than Jackie Chan?

"This..." After thinking for a long time, Yu Chenglong finally relaxed, and said in a weak voice: "My lord, Si Gege, please allow Yu Chenglong to think about it all night."

"What else are you thinking about?" Kong Sizhen asked coquettishly, "My lord, haven't you seen it yet? Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Bian Butang, Yunnan Chief Envoy Cui Fantai, and Inspector Li Jietai have all decided to stand by us. Sir, are you still planning to turn the tide and stand on the opposite side of everyone? Even if you have the heart, what's the use of helping that fat man Lu? What can he do for you? Can he help you get promoted, or can he help you? You improved your family situation? And uncovered Fatty Lu’s crime of deceiving the emperor, isn’t it a great achievement for you?”

"That's right." Jie Shu nodded vigorously, and said: "Fatty Lu used countermeasures against the emperor to trick the emperor into making concessions on the Yungui military salary. A crime is one of Geistra's feats!"

Yu Chenglong's face sank like water, he closed his eyes and his heart was at war between heaven and man. After thinking about it for half an hour, Yu Chenglong moved his lips slightly and said in a low voice: "My lord, Sigege, I'm a lowly official who secretly collects those things. Bring it to you. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Yu Chenglong, the imperial envoy who was the only one to count on, was also dragged into the water, and the treacherous and loyal Lu Sanhao and Lu Scourge should finally die without a burial place, right?If you want to know what will happen next, please read the next chapter, "There Is a Fat Man Playing a Rogue"!
