That night, Wang Zhizheng received 500,000 taels of silver tickets from Mao Yilu's family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After receiving the silver ticket, Wang Zhizheng gathered 100 Dongchang horsemen in the square at the gate of the camp tent, waved the silver ticket with his hand, and said: "Brothers, this is the 500,000 taels of silver that General Ben asked for from Governor Mao last night! These 500,000 taels, of which 250,000 taels, I want to dedicate to my godfather, our 9,000 years old, the remaining 250,000 taels, 50,000 taels to drink and play with women tonight, 200,000 taels, 100 of our brothers, 2,000 taels each! When the riders heard that their master was so generous, they each got two thousand five hundred taels of silver taels out of thin air with a stroke of the pen, and they immediately cheered.
Then Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and pointed to the east: "Knowing that the brothers are running around with me during this time, and they are not lightly tired, this Chitose Lord has already sent Zhou Cheng to charter a field in Yifang Courtyard, the largest Qinglou in Suzhou!
I only heard them shouting excitedly: "Little Chitose Master Chitose Chitose!" "The day is so fucking Mao Yilu is so rich, and then ask him for 500,000 yuan for his turtle son!" "Follow the little Chitose Lord to have money to spend, and there is a silver reward! There are also girls to play!" "Follow the little Chitose Lord is to have a future, hahahaha!" A group of savage and crazy horsemen shouted excitedly and cheered.
That night, the Dongchang riders turned the flower street and willow lane of Suzhou City upside down, and tossed the black smoke miasma of the prosperous and splendid Suzhou City!
It is said that Mao Yilu was humiliated by Wang Zhizheng, bullied his woman, extorted him 500,000 taels of silver, beat him several times, and even beat his governor's officials to death. Mao Yilu fell ill that night. He called the paperwork over, lay on the sickbed and said angrily:
This Wang Zhizheng is too deceitful, a gentleman in the capital, relying on the fact that his godfather is Wei Zhongxian, is wantonly humiliating my dignified second-class governor in Suzhou City! I can't swallow this breath! Quickly repair a letter to Wei Zhongxian, I want to tell him all the evil deeds of his godfather in Suzhou City, so that he can give me justice!
The clerk was an old scholar in his forties, with a lean body and a few wisps of goatee. He raised his eyes to see the embarrassed appearance of the governor who had always been pampered, sighed and said: "I still advise the lord to bear with it! Think about it, the people of Suzhou rebelled and killed the 9,000-year-old Tiqi, and the other Tiqi were also seriously injured, and the 9,000-year-old was angry with the governor! That Wang Zhi was bullying the adult in Suzhou, it is hard to guarantee that it is not the meaning of the 9,000-year-old! You wrote to Wang Zhizheng, that is not a slap in the face of the 9,000-year-old, if the 9,000-year-old is angry, to say something unpleasant, he wants the adult to become Yang Lian, Zhou Shunchang, that's also an edict!"
When Mao Yilu heard this, he actually cried: "I regret that I shouldn't have defected to the eunuch party, and today I am doing things for Wei Zhongxian, and I will be oppressed by his minions in Dongchang! I, Mao Yilu, am also a scholar, you must know that it is better to defect to the Donglin party!"
After hearing this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to cover Mao Yilu's mouth and whispered: "Your Excellency must not say such things, maybe Wang Zhizheng's Dongchang Tiqi will eavesdrop on the eaves!"
Mao Yilu shook his head and sneered: "Eavesdropping! Eavesdropping! Wang Zhizheng is now taking hundreds of horsemen to prostitute and gamble in Willow Lane, Flower Street, Suzhou, drinking and playing with women wholeheartedly, how interesting is it to eavesdrop!"
In fact, Mao Yilu's guess was not right at all, Wang Zhizheng was in the Qinglou of Liuxiang on Flower Street, which was good, but he was not playing with women. In the private room he had chartered, the beautiful "old bustard" Liu Qingqing was sitting next to the wine table and talking quietly with him. The doors and windows were closed, and Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong were guarding with knives at the door.
I saw Wang Zhizheng say to the beauty Liu Qingqing with a serious face: "Wei Zhongxian plans to search for Xiucai who made trouble that day in Suzhou City this time, if I don't arrest a few main culprits this time, he will probably order Mao Yilu to be arrested." Mao Yilu is ruthless, and he urgently needs to make meritorious contributions, if he is arrested, it is likely to arrest a large number of innocent talents, and the citizens will be paid. When the time comes, he will probably go on a killing spree! When the time comes, Suzhou City will suddenly be bleeding!"
Liu Qingqing's willow eyebrows were slightly clustered, and the clouds were gloomy, and she sighed: "I know that Lord Wang is a person who is Ming Li and Wei Zhongxian, but in fact, he is a close confidant of the prince. I believe that the prince has the ambition to eradicate the demon of the eunuch party, and we should cooperate with it. Now, please ask Lord Wang to explain what you want us to do, and we will do it!"
It turned out that this prostitute Liu Qingqing was nominally the old bustard of the Qinglou, but in fact she was the concubine of Zuo Guangdou, a member of the Donglin Party, whose real name was Zuo Yunqing, who was twenty-eight years old and unmarried. Zuo Guangdou died tragically under Wei Zhongxian's butcher's knife last year, and she went incognito, vowing to take revenge on her father as her own responsibility. She spent money to buy Suzhou Yifang Yuan, which was ostensibly a brothel, but in fact used it as a transit point to connect the Donglin Party members. She is inextricably linked with the Donglin Party, and Liu Qingqing is actually the driving force behind the Suzhou civil uprising.
In other words, the Suzhou Incident was actually an organized popular uprising planned by the Donglin Party represented by Liu Qingqing.
A few days after the Suzhou Incident, Wang Zhizheng's eyes and ears inquired about Liu Qingqing and the inside story of the Suzhou Rebellion, and decided to contact Liu Qingqing.
On his way to Suzhou, he sent Zhou Gong to Suzhou in advance and met with Liu Qingqing. Under the persuasion of Zhou Gong's incorruptible tongue, Liu Qingqing finally believed that Wang Zhili was Mingli helping Wei Zhongxian to serve as a minion, but in fact, he was secretly supporting Wang Zhu Youzhen, who was responsible for eradicating Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs.
Tonight, Wang Zhizheng asked more than 100 of his Tiqi to prostitute and gamble in Willow Lane, Huajie Huajie, Yifangyuan, in fact, to cover his ears and eyes, and to give his Dongchang Tiqi and Mao Yilu a smoke screen at the same time.
Wang Zhizheng looked at the bewitching beauty in front of him, thinking about such a weak woman who shouldered the hatred of the country and the family, and did a career that a seven-foot man could not do, and a kind of admiration and admiration rose in his heart.
He took a sip of the fragrant West Lake Longjing, and then calmed down, and said confidently: "For today's plan, it is tomorrow's ............" He lowered his voice and whispered in Liu Qingqing's ear. Liu Qingqing nodded and said, "Okay, Prince Wang, I trust you." Tomorrow you do it, I will cooperate with you. ”
Wang Zhizheng secretly admired: When they met for the first time, this Liu Qingqing dared to trust herself so much and make a quick decision, she was really a heroine among women who did not let her eyebrows go.
That night, Wang Zhizheng stayed in Liu Qingqing's boudoir. Although the beauty was in front, he did his best and did not commit any deviant behavior. At dawn, Liu Qingqing called a shrewd and capable "Turtle Prince" under his command, and secretly asked for it, and the Turtle Father immediately took the order and left.
Early the next morning, after Wang Zhizheng finished bathing, he stretched his waist and walked out of Yifang Courtyard, and then instructed Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong to drive to the governor's yamen of Governor Mao Yilu.
When he arrived at the governor's yamen, Mao Yilu said that he was sick, and Wang Zhizheng went straight to the yamen hall, sat on top of the governor's official hall, and said to the governor's officials: "You go and tell Lord Mao, whether you are angry or sick, you must come over to Lao Tzu today! Today I will discuss with him about arresting the rebel!"
The official had no choice but to go to the backyard again.
After a while, Mao Yilu came to the lobby with the support of two officials, and Wang Zhizheng saw that his lips were white and his forehead was dripping with sweat, so he knew that he was really sick. And the scars on the face are also bandaged, and it looks as miserable and miserable as it looks. Wang Zhizheng said without yin or yang: "What's the matter, Master Mao is sick like this? Could it be that he is angry with you?"
Mao Yilu didn't want to see him, let alone talk to him, but he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he said embarrassedly: "Occasionally, the illness of dogs and horses is not a concern for Lord Wang!"
As he spoke, he sat down under the support of the officials.
Wang Zhizheng glanced at him and smiled slightly: "The girl in Suzhou City is beautiful, I played six last night! Haha! I played with the bustard......!
After all, Mao Yilu is a scholar, and listening to this dissolute demon king talk about how to play with women, an indescribable disgust and disgust rose in his heart.
When he saw that there was a gap, he politely interrupted him: "Hehe, Lord Wang, as for the experience of prostitution, I think it is more suitable for you to discuss and communicate with fellow practitioners." Today, you told your subordinates to discuss and discuss the strategy of arresting the anti-party, what do you dare to say?"
Wang Zhizheng nodded, and put away his lewd smile: "What's so difficult about this? My strategy is to arrest all the talents in the city, all of whom are between the ages of sixteen and fifty and have meritorious reputation! Then, after the trial and detention, I will be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market to kill a group, kill a hundred, and imprison five hundred, I think this is enough to give a deal to the nine thousand years old!!"
When Wang Zhizheng said this, he deliberately tested Mao Yilu. But his impression of Mao Yilu was too bad. So much so that Mao Yilu denied his opinion in his mind at the first time.
If Mao Yilu was the main one in charge of this case, he would really be able to do so. Because he wants to make meritorious service to the nine thousand years old. But nine thousand years old let Wang Zhizheng take charge of this case, he can't make this trip to the troubled waters, if Wang Zhizheng really kills and kills, then he pats his ass and leaves, leaving himself to clean up the mess in Suzhou, it is inevitable that the remnants of the Donglin Party will not take revenge on his head Mao Yilu, and when the time comes, he will stay in Suzhou by himself, to put it mildly, it only takes a killer to take his Mao Yilu's dog life.
Mao Yilu smiled and said weakly: "The opinion of the little Chitose Lord, the lower officials dare not agree. If this is the case, I am afraid that the suppression of the popular uprising will not succeed, but a second popular uprising will be made. ”
Wang Zhizheng said in his heart: "It seems that you Mao Yilu still has some snacks." Well, in that case, then I won't embarrass you. ”
Wang Zhizheng glanced at him obliquely, shook his legs, and tapped his fingers on the table: "You don't agree, but you say that a plan will come out! If you come up with a good idea, I will definitely give you credit in front of the nine thousand years old, regardless of my previous suspicions!"
Mao Yilu sneered in his heart: Fuck you! Don't you just want me to come up with an idea, you can pick up a ready-made one! When the time comes, I will ask for merit and reward from the 9,000-year-old and take the credit on myself! I, Mao Yilu, will not be fooled!
Mao Yilu smiled awkwardly: "Little Chitose Master, the lower officials are stupid, and there are no good ideas at the moment." Then he closed his mouth and eyes, and hung up like he had nothing to do with himself!
Wang Zhizheng sneered: "Okay, good, it seems that your Governor Mao is unwilling to cooperate! When the time comes, I will report this matter to the nine thousand years old!"
Mao Yilu still closed his eyes and didn't speak. looks like an old monk has settled down.
Wang Zhizheng "angrily" raised his hand and slapped the table "with a snap", and shouted: "Let's go!" and then rushed away with Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong angrily.
As soon as Wang Zhizheng left, Mao Yilu spat at his back: "What are you! You are squeezing my money and humiliating me! You are prostituting and gambling in Huajie and Willow Lane, and you have enough of it, do you remember to get down to business? You have no idea, right? Just run over to me to get an idea! I won't give you an idea! I don't care about this matter! Close the door! Just say I'm seriously ill! Don't ask about political affairs!"
