Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 84
Kangxi and his party were already dazzled by seeing it in the attic.Seeing their "siblings" crying like tears, I feel sad.The strongmen around had already withdrawn their weapons. Most of these people joined the group because they were forced to do bloody crimes. Thinking of their sufferings in the past, quite a few of them wiped their noses and eyes to accompany them with tears.Liu Tiecheng cried for a while, raised his tear-stained face, wiped it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Where's that bastard who delivered the letter? Tell him to come over!"

"Lord of the lake," one of the minions hurriedly said, "The shopkeeper Nie from the town came with the boat, and left as soon as he got ashore, saying that he was afraid that people would recognize him, and it would be difficult to deal with later..."

"Grandma!" Liu Tiecheng scolded, "Almost hurt my sister!"

This is an important matter. Within a day after Kangxi arrived here, someone sent a letter to Liu Tiecheng to rob him, so he had to ask about it.Mrs. Han Liu pondered for a moment, then she acted as a sister and disciplined her: "Amitabha, don't make things difficult for others! I've always heard that you don't abuse other women, and I feel a little relieved in my heart-our siblings and our family have all been human beings. It's difficult, you have to forgive others and forgive others, building a road is one way, no domineering ones are allowed! ——Only the shopkeeper of the Nie family bank has always done his duty, so he will go the same way with you no matter what!"

"He deserves to be a fart!" Liu Tiecheng spat and scolded, "He is both an official and a bandit, and he put Ge Li's master inappropriately, so he came to do business, the devil knows what he has in mind - from now on, he will stink. Khan ran to me and said that the Maosheng Warehouse was doing business overseas, and it had bought a ship of yellow and white goods, and it would be sold tomorrow. The emperor’s dragon boat was parked outside the town. If it wasn’t for such a big profit, how dare brothers come? It’s all done. The two of us, siblings..." As he spoke, he burst into laughter.

Kangxi couldn't help shivering when he heard this, and subconsciously looked left and right in the darkness. For a moment, he felt that the real danger was not downstairs but by his side. Except for Wu Dan and Gao Shiqi, even Jin Fu and Chen Huang were all suspicious. .I was thinking about how to get this shopkeeper Nie, but I heard Mrs. Han and Liu said from below: "It's rare that you have come here, God has eyes! My family, hurry up and set up wine! ——Brother, isn't there a shortage of food? Sister, is there any food here? Yes, I'll bring you some silver and buy it yourself!"

"Sister is so stupid!" Liu Tiecheng laughed loudly, "Brother entered the rivers and lakes at the age of seven, traveled the world with his hands for 40 years, wandered all over the world, how could he borrow money to borrow money from his sister's house? Heroes in the world don't laugh, and brother himself is ashamed to death—— Have a drink, brother, and leave immediately, the wind is tight here, you can't stay for long!"

Seeing that the danger has been saved, Han Liushi looked sad and tired, coughing unceasingly.Liu Tiecheng was so panicked that he had no place to let go, he beat his back when he came over, and ordered someone to "bring tea". Gao Shiqi upstairs almost laughed out loud when he saw how attentive he was. Tu frowned without saying a word.

"But I just focus on talking," Han Liushi seemed to come to his senses suddenly, and laughed, "My sister was stupefied at first, and then she likes to be confused——your nephew Chunhe, daughter-in-law Zhou, and one big and one small two There are two grandsons hiding behind. There are also two Nanyang merchants, I am afraid they will not dare to see you, and their relatives must meet before they leave." He called the girl, "I invite the young master and the young mistress to go later!"

When Han Chunhe saw his mother calling him, he didn't hesitate at all. He took Zhou's hand and went downstairs. He didn't bring the child because he was afraid of accidents.Kangxi shook his head, turned around and gave Gao Shiqi a hand, and said, "Go, go down and meet him!"

"Impossible!" Gao Shiqi withdrew his hand and whispered.

"Why, are you afraid?" Kangxi's eyes flickered in the dark, "If you are afraid, I will go down by myself!" After saying that, he followed Chunhe and his wife down, Gao Shiqi was stunned and hurriedly followed.Wu Dan untied his sword without saying a word, asked the guards around him for two daggers, inserted them into the heels of his boots, and quickly followed them out.The hearts of everyone upstairs were raised high for a moment.

At this time, the family had moved out a jar of wine and poured a bowl for Liu Tiecheng and the minions each.At this time, the torch had already been removed, and the hall towel was flickering with candlelight, making it warm and pleasant.Because he wanted to see Mrs. Zhou, Liu Tiecheng put his shirt on and put his sleeves on, stood up with a smile and waited.But at the sound of the curtain, Han Chun and Zhou's couple were in front, Kangxi and Gao Shiqi came out hand in hand, followed by Wu Dan.Han Chun and Zhou rushed forward and bowed down like sticking candles.

Liu Tiecheng smiled so hard that his eyes were narrowed, he pulled Han Chunhe's hand, looked him up and down and said, "Good-looking, good-looking—where's your grandson? Sister, how lucky you are!"

"What a blessing!" Han Liu said with a smile, "The grandchildren are probably asleep. I'm afraid we'll miss the time by making such a fuss. Forget it, see you next time."

Han Chunhe smiled and said, "It's not easy, uncle. I've been running business all year, and I don't know when I'll see you again! We, the young couple, will respect you for a bowl!" Mrs. Zhou hurried over to hold the pot, and Han Chunhe held it Fill it up, the couple knelt down and raised the wine over the top to worship.

How often did Liu Tiecheng, who has been stealing, murdering and stealing goods all his life, enjoy this series of intimate and lovely family happiness?Without drinking, Liu Tiecheng was already drunk, and he said happily: "Forget it, I'll get rid of these etiquettes soon! Uncle is a person who lives outside the law, let's not talk about this, my niece and daughter-in-law are so filial, and such a good talent, uncle is very comfortable!" As he said, he took out a large piece of uncooked gold pancake from his bosom and handed it to Mrs. Zhou, "Take it to give your grandson a collar lock or something!" Then he turned his face and said with a smile that Kangxi and Gao Tuqi said, "You guys It’s a guest, I’m shocked! Sit down, everybody sit down! I think both of you look like scholars. They don’t go to the exams to raise people, but start a business. Your surname is Taifu? Tell me, brother, your goods will be thrown into the lake. Son!"

"I don't know Long Dehai, this is Mr. Gao Dan." Kangxi said and sat down, and his heart couldn't help but move: "It seems that this person is not willing to be a bandit. People in the green forest also know that Shengshi should be an official, but it is gratifying. Thinking about it, he arched his hand and said: "It's abrupt, I heard that you were holding a calf and laying grass. What's the matter? Are you the owner of the lake?"

Liu Tiecheng met his relatives by accident. Decades of hard life have been churning in his heart. After drinking two bowls of old wine, he was very emotional. He threw the bowl on the table and sighed: "Baodugu broke in 13 years of Kangxi. The deputy head of the village collapsed, and I led more than 70 brothers to break out of the siege. First, we went to Weishan Lake, and the officers and soldiers sailed for training, so we had to move to Luoma Lake... Alas! The more peaceful the world, the underworld The harder it is to walk!"

Gao Shiqi observed the words, judged the appearance and listened to the voice, and knew that Kangxi had the intention of accepting it, so he stepped in and said, "My lord of the lake, if I say something that I don't know what is good or bad, don't lose your temper, it's scary."

"Well, tell me!" Liu Tiecheng smiled, "You are my sister's guest, so why not turn against you?"

"Baigu heroes come from the green forest, and Shandong's green forest dominates the world," Gao Shiqi praised first, and then said, "Liu Bang's Ji Bu, Guangwu's Ma Wu, and Wagang's Cheng Yaojin are all from the green forest. Zhu Hongwu's subordinates came from strong men. There are countless others—the winners are princes and the losers are thieves, there is no ditch that cannot be jumped over. You are forced to be a thief, and you have no intention of being an enemy of the court. There is a reason to forgive—why not Thinking about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately? What will happen if you sink into the rivers and lakes like this?"

"The next stage?" Liu Tiecheng drank another bowl of wine, already slightly drunk, "The final stage is in the execution place, who doesn't know that? I have no wife or children, clean and tidy! 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately' but It's a joke. Shandong Yuqi, Shaanxi Wang Xiaoqi, Henan Queshan Liu Dazi all 'put down the butcher's knife', but they all turned into ghosts on the spot'——dammit, words don't count, what are they! "Speaking of drinking another bowl at this point, the spirit of wine surged, and the speech was no longer coherent, "...I don't expect anything anymore, such as... now that I meet my sister, I hope that one day I can... collect the corpse... that's enough It's gone." Han Liushi heard the desolation, and hurriedly came to comfort him.

Kangxi couldn't help feeling secretly when he heard it: It seems that faith is based on these people!After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "If you can think of this, you will have a way to protect yourself. I have a lot of powerful friends in the officialdom. I will write you a note to serve Fei Yanggu who is stationed at Gubeikou. He will fight for the country with a knife and a gun in the front court. Seriousness, are you afraid that you won’t earn a wife and son? Why are you so unprofessional?”

I don't know when it was overcast outside, a bright light came in, the blue and white light shone brightly, and then there was a thunder.Liu Tiecheng was suddenly surprised—the strange experience of this night changed too quickly.He was kind of in a dream.He stared blankly at Kangxi who was writing calmly, took it hesitantly, and murmured: "I... have to think about it, I have to think about it..." He looked down at the note written by Kangxi, half of it The son didn't understand, like the tone of the boss's official document, there was a blood-red red seal underneath, which was the word "Tiyuan Master", so he raised his head and asked: "Mr. Long, how can there be such a name? Why? Will it be a four-letter name?"

"This is Mr. Long's name." Gao Shiqi laughed, "You don't read too much, so you can't tell for a while. As far as I know, Mr. Long's recommendation book has also introduced several people like you before. , Feiyang Gujunmen has never refuted face."

Liu Tiecheng's heart was pounding, and the paper in his hand was trembling, as if it weighed a thousand catties, and he couldn't breathe.After a while, Fang took a heavy breath: "I... find someone to go and try first, maybe it will work?... It depends on how my Liu family Zude is..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion at the door, and a minion with a pale face rushed in to report: "Lake... Lake Lord, it's not good! The official army, the palace army is here!"
