The old man said: "My lord, at first glance, you are a clean official, and the little girl does not want to draft a draft girl, please help the villain to call the shots." ”

Li Yingdong asked curiously: "Your daughter will definitely be able to be selected for her beauty, and when the time comes, she will enjoy the glory and wealth of the emperor, wouldn't it be better." ”

"Adults don't know, here's how it ......"

The Qing Dynasty stipulated from the time of Shunzhi that all women from the Manchu Eight Banners who were between the ages of thirteen and sixteen must participate in the emperor's draft every three years. When reading the selection, according to the order of the eight flags, generally seven or eight people stand in a row, selected by the emperor and the queen mother. The names of the selected women, write a list in each row, and keep it in the palace for archiving, this kind of list is called "show girl platoon list" in the archive.

To put it simply, the matter of draft girls is only related to the Manchus, and has nothing to do with other ethnic groups. This draft is actually a woman who chooses and serves the emperor's palace, and in modern parlance, it is a **. Select a show girl to fill the palace, if the emperor has used it, then he will be promoted**, if he has not used it, he can go out of the palace to marry after the age of thirty.

The emperor's ** can enjoy glory and wealth, but there is also a price, from Qianlong's southern tour only six times, you can imagine the tragic situation of these **, after all, the emptiness, loneliness and coldness are not what that woman can bear. The reason why the old man is reluctant to draft his daughter is because his wife used to be a show girl in the Kangxi Palace, and she was sent out of the palace because of her gorgeous appearance until she was forty, in which the loneliness is indescribable.

Li Yingdong smiled and froze, sighed and said, "Hey! I happen to be going to Yangzhou tomorrow to play, and I promise that there will be no official errands in the future. ”

The old man's family of three was overjoyed and thanked again and again.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Li Yingdong led everyone straight to Yangzhou Mansion and entered the city gate, Li Yingdong led Lingqing Daoist and Ma Zhai Master to Yamen, Miao Ruolan's two daughters went to play, and the twins, Jiang Lao Boxer and Variety God Beggars were responsible for protection.

It is said that Li Yingdong and the three of them came to the Yamen, and they happened to meet the two officials yesterday, and when these two people saw that he was really coming, they were so frightened that their mothers ran away.

Li Yingdong shouted: "Run again, draw shadows and graphics to find you." ”

When the two men heard that this was completely the rhythm of arresting the criminal, they did not dare to run away, and came back with a dejected face.

"Take this and go and call your mansion out."

Li Yingdong took out the token of Deputy Chief Ouchi and threw it over. This token is given by the head of the race, but it is a genuine token of the deputy head of the inner house, and the deputy head of the big inner is also called the minister of the guard, and the level is from the first grade, which is not a little bit bigger than the mansion from the fourth grade.

The two officials took the token and didn't dare to slack off and quickly ran into the backyard of the yamen to report, and soon Yangzhou Mansion came out and bowed down to the ground: "Yangzhou Mansion has seen the head manager." ”

Li Yingdong once read a post on the Internet saying that Futai is equivalent to a modern prefecture-level city mayor, and when he saw a "prefecture-level city mayor" kneeling at his feet, he was not to mention the excitement. In fact, the head of the race is a good product, and the official is bigger, but because he doesn't know that it is equivalent to the official position in modern times, he has not been excited by kneeling countless times.

The head of Yangzhou Mansion didn't say for a long time, and he was sweating for a while, could it be that my embezzlement was known by His Majesty?

Li Yingdong enjoyed the "mayor kneeling" for a while, and helped Yangzhou Futai up and said about cardamom, Yangzhou Futai heard that it was such a trivial matter, and patted his chest to ensure that no one would harass him again. Then invite Li Yingdong to talk in the house.

Li Yingdong pushed away on the grounds that there was something, and before leaving, he stuffed 5,000 taels of silver into Yangzhou Mansion, accepted it calmly, and said secretly: "This money is just used for happy expenses, and this should also be regarded as public expense." ”

Just when Li Yingdong went to be happy, the cardamom family had a disaster.

"Oh bad old man, this is an IOU of one thousand taels of silver, pay it back quickly."

A big man with tiger stripes slapped a note on the table and glared at the old man of the Dou family viciously.

Behind the big man, there were more than a dozen big men wielding iron rods in unison in a threatening gesture.

"Zou Laohu, this is not an IOU I wrote, you have found the wrong person."

The old man looked at the words on the note like a turtle crawling, he was also born in a scholarly family, and he wrote well, this kind of clumsy deception was really insulting to his IQ. If he hadn't known that Zou Laohu was the leader of the nearby mountain bandits, he would have been beaten out.

But he forgot how could the bandits be reasonable? Zou Laohu grabbed the old man's neck: "Do you want to give it to the stinky old man?" ”

The old man's face was bruised, his eyes turned white, and the mother and daughter hiding behind saw it and came to the rescue, even scratching and scratching, scratching Zou Laohu's face out of a bloody forest, so angry that he let go of the old man, pushed to the cardamom, and kicked his mother out of the old distance, his mother fell to the ground and vomited blood, and the father and daughter screamed and pounced.

Seeing that he was not alive, the old man got up and fought hard with Zou Laohu, but he was beaten to death by several punches. Cardamom hugged her dead mother and was still crying.

Before Zou Laohu realized that he had killed someone, a subordinate came to probe the old man's snort, and said in a panic: "The owner of the village, the old man is dead." ”

The strange thing is that the person he is looking at is not Zou Laohu, but a thief-eyed guy among his subordinates.

"It's really dead!?"

Zou Laohu's face turned white with fright. muttered, "Impossible, I don't want to die...... It's not a big deal, I'm a good man again after eighteen years, no, I haven't tasted a woman yet, I don't want to die......"

What he said himself, I'm afraid even he didn't know, he only knew that he was going to find a woman to open meat when he was dying, and he took a few steps to Cardamom's side, and he was going to ......

"Stop. With me, Wang Rulong, the bandits are rampant here. ”

With a loud drink, more than a dozen people suddenly came in the wine shop, led by a middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin, with a sense of wealth and nobility, and led his subordinates to save Cardamom, Zou Laohu and others fled.

Cardamom knelt on the ground and cried: "My parents were killed, I hope that Master Wang will help take revenge, and I am willing to commit myself to being a concubine to repay the master." ”

Wang Rulong sighed and said, "Hey! This Zou Lao Tiger can't even help the nearby government, I'm just a little salt merchant, how can I have the ability to avenge you. ”

"Master help me, as long as I can avenge my parents, I am willing to be a slave."

"Hey! Although I can't help you, the person I have at my banquet today is a celebrity around His Majesty, and he will definitely be able to help you, I don't know you? ……”

"Who is that official?"

"The new head of the household department is Shangshu and Shen. That's a good one. ”

"Okay, I'm willing to give it a try, please Master Wang."

Cardamom followed Wang Rulong away, and the bodies of her parents were buried in coffins, waiting for revenge before being buried.

The surrounding neighbors knew that there was a lot of discussion about this matter, sighed, and a figure entered the wine shop, lightly opened the coffin and took a look, and muttered: "It's better to be one step late, these bandits can't die well, today I will do the right thing for heaven." ”

The man walked through the wall in the backyard, and no one knew about it, and the direction he went was the bandit's lair......
