Blood from Daming

Chapter 772

Xu Yuanlang stayed in the Hangzhou Mansion for almost three years, and made a full 50 million taels of property, which did not include real estate shops in the city of Hangzhou and fields in the suburbs, as well as gifts of more than six figures of gold and silver treasures from the Xue family. Being an official has at least benefited the Xu family for several generations. Xu Yuanlang, who is making money like this, is really reluctant to leave. He left Wei Zhongxian's door through Yan Sanniang early on, and his succession as the prefect of Hangzhou is almost a certainty.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly, the king's flag changed in the Forbidden City, Emperor Tianqi died, Wei Zhongxian collapsed, and his own treasure was biased. After succeeding to the throne, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been silent for several months, took action. Then three batches of more than 30 officials were locked up or transferred away. Xu Yuanlang was attacked by the Jiangnan gentry headed by the Donglin Party. Because of the great strength of the businessmen in Hangzhou City, they supported the magistrate Xu Yuanlang, so Xu Yuanlang was not regarded as an eunuch. The party was overthrown by the Donglin Party.

But now Xu Yuanlang is a little frightened. He wants to continue to sit in the seat of the prefect of Hangzhou to make a fortune, but he is also afraid of the revenge of the Donglin Party. Take an idea.

Xue Yun said: "Brother, your position as the magistrate of Hangzhou was apparently obtained by Luo Sigong, the former commander of Jinyiwei, but in fact it was given by the current emperor Chongzhen. Chongzhen knows about our relationship, so if he touches you, he will touch me."

Xu Yuanlang's prefect of Hangzhou was obtained by the Xue family. Xu Yuanlang always believed that it was Wei Zhongxian who gave it to the Xue family. Later, he learned from his fellow villagers that Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, had found someone. How is the relationship between the Xue and Luo families? See Xue Yun in Datong After hooking up with Luo Yangxing, the current commander of Jinyiwei, he knew that Xu Yuanlang's [-] people didn't expect that the real behind-the-scenes man was the former Xinwang and now the Chongzhen Emperor.

Xu Yuanlang said: "My lord, let's wait for news from the court."

Xue Yun said: "Brother, of course we can't wait like this. Well, even if we can't be the prefect of Hangzhou, we still have to take root in Zhejiang. We have to go to the capital to do some work."

Xu Yuanlang said, "Master, what do you mean?"

Xue Yun said: "Brother, when will your term of office end?"

Xu Yuen Long said: "With all the efforts and calculations, I can delay my resignation until June this year."

Xue Yun thought for a while and said: "Well, even if the court gave someone the prefect of Hangzhou, the eldest brother's position is still negotiable. Maybe the position of the prefect of Hangzhou has not yet been finalized. Well, elder brother, you send your confidant to Beijing Take a trip."

Xu Yuanlang asked: "My lord, my master can be trusted. I don't know how much gold and silver I need to bring."

Xue Yun said: "You don't need to bring gold and silver. Someone will give you silver when you arrive in the capital. As long as your master visits Luo Yangxing, and then asks Luo Yangxing to give a gift to the eunuch in charge."

Xu Yuanlang was silent for a while and asked, "My lord, will the master make any request?"

Xue Yun said: "No need, the gift doesn't need to be too generous, and don't ask for it. It's just a gift to remind Chongzhen not to be taken advantage of by the six ministries of the cabinet. I believe Chongzhen will handle it properly."

Xu Yuanlang said: "My lord, this is the best way. From now on, the subordinates will wait quietly for the emperor's clear decision."

Xue Yun said: "Brother, if the situation in the future is not good, you can go to Taiwan to take a job first."

Xu Yuanlang said that he would persist until Xue Yun returned from Tuxietu Khan. The two discussed the affairs of the court and Hangzhou. Xue Yun asked Xu Yuanlang to meet Pan Ruzhen, hoping that Pan Ruzhen could be used by the Xue family. Xu Yuanlang promised to try his best. When he went there, Xue Yun presented a batch of jewelry to Xu Yuanlang in the name of Brother Weiwen's family.

In the next few days, Xue Yun couldn't please Ren Ruping and Huang Tianjiao. He focused on his work and met Miss Chen's uncle, shopkeeper Chen, and Huang Tianjiao's father, Huang Xisheng. Xue Yun gave gifts to both of them, especially Huang Xisheng. Thank you for the loyalty of the Huang family for generations, Huang Xisheng can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and he swears to say that he will serve Xue Yun to the death.

On the seventh day of February, Xue Yun met with Mr. Jiang Yangjiang, the Minister of Procuratorate of Zhejiang Province. The two had a long talk in the backyard of Yanjiazhuang. Jiang Yang mentioned that he had a good chance of being promoted. Xue Yun hoped that Jiang Yang would overcome this. The difficulty lies in Hangzhou, and he persisted until he returned from the Tuxietu Khan. As a last resort, he could withdraw from Changtu Island or transfer to Taiwan Island. Jiang Yang said that he would not easily evacuate Daming even though he was fighting guerrillas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

On the eighth day of February, Xu Yuanlang, the magistrate of Hangzhou, sent a message to Xue Yun, saying that Pan Ruzhen was determined to return home, Xue Yun had no choice but to ask Yan Sanniang to send Pan Ruzhen a box of 1000 taels of gold the next day. The eunuch who helped Pan Ruzhen return to his hometown was probably a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse bone.

On the night of the [-]th day of February, two daughters, Ren Ruping and Huang Tianjiao, who had almost recovered, completed the first internal intercourse with Xue Yun under the guidance of Yan Sanniang, and finally became a de facto marriage, but they did not enjoy the joy of men and women at all. In the next few days, daughters Ren Ruping and Huang Tianjiao had to be tortured every day. Although the pain was gradually decreasing, old wounds and new wounds were added to the body, and the two daughters even had the idea of ​​escaping marriage.

On February [-]th, the savior of the two daughters Ren Ruping and Huang Tianjiao, Xue Yun's cousin, Miss Xu, the Jade Maiden Sacred Sword, arrived. Dark yellow sticky secretions had flowed out for four or five days in a row, and the palace gate shrank so badly that Yan Sanniang could only cover it with a thin quilt, and received Xue Yun's cousin Jade Sword.

Miss Xu said, "Sister, are you going to give birth soon?"

Yan Sanniang nodded happily, and Miss Xu said, "Sister, you're sweating profusely, it's my cousin who made you look like this."

While speaking, Miss Xu took out a handkerchief to wipe Yan Sanniang's sweat. Yan Sanniang smiled and said, "Sister, it's such a blessing to have a child of my own. Sister, thank you for your cousin."

Miss Xu snorted and said, "He tried to have fun for a while, but in the end it was us women who were the victim."

Yan Sanniang said: "Sister, your business is settled."

Miss Xu said: "I just went to see my third aunt. Sister, my cousin is really ruthless. He beat my third aunt very badly. I'm afraid she won't recover in half a year."

Yan Sanniang said: "Sister, your cousin injured the third aunt and didn't know her identity. Speaking of it, I still blame your third aunt for provoking Xue Yun."

Miss Xu said: "Forget about the third aunt, sister, did my cousin tell my sister about the sale of weapons and equipment to the holy religion?"

Yan Sanniang nodded to show that she knew, and Miss Xu said, "My cousin is going to the Tuxietu Khan Department, and my sister will give you a cheap price when buying weapons and equipment."

Yan Sanniang smiled and said there was no problem. After the two chatted for a while, Yan Sanniang took Miss Xu's hand and said, "Sister, it's time for you and Brother Yun to deal with it."

Miss Xu said: "Sister, how could you be fooled by him? My cousin loves every woman he sees. How can you bear it, sister?"

Yan Sanniang smiled and said: "Sister, the richest officials in this world are not three wives and four concubines. Although your younger brother Yun has more women, he is sincere to his own women. Such a strange man is hard to find in the world." what."

Lady Xu, the Holy Sword of the Jade Girl, was silent after hearing this. Yan Sanniang squeezed Miss Xu's tender hand twice and said, "Sister, the most beautiful time for a woman is only a few years. Take advantage of this time to find a good husband, otherwise If you miss this village, there will be no such store.”

Miss Xu shyly said: "Sister, what can I do with my cousin, my sister doesn't want to take advantage of him."

Yan Sanniang said: "Sister, you are engaged, and you are also cousins. There is a saying that fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields. You don't take advantage of Brother Yun, you want to take advantage of that person."

Miss Xu turned around and said, "Sister, stop talking, my sister gets angry when she thinks of so many women. Sister, don't you get angry?"

Yan Sanniang smiled and said, "Sister, maybe an outstanding man like Brother Yun will only have one woman."

Miss Xu said: "Sister, what you said made my sister very upset."
