Chapter 2 The thief's nature does not change
"Tonight is the early morning of the third day of the first month of the eighth year of Kangxi and the fourth day of the first month, which means that the fool is still in the prime of life, and he will not fall until May. Bambulshan's pubic hair (Note 1) family is still hiding behind him, waiting for him and Kangxi to lose both before making a move. Wu Yuanming used his standard sitting posture when checking the car at the checkpoint, lazily half lying on the Taishi chair, shaking his feet on the charcoal basin with his very uneducated feet, shaking his fingers and braiding his braids and muttering to himself in his heart: "That little ghost head Kangxi should still be cultivating his power, especially brainwashing those young guards." That's it, what do I do next? ”
Probably there are still some subconscious memories between the later life and the previous life, Wu Yuanming, who often scored zero in the school test and became a traffic policeman by giving gifts and going through the back door, did not dare to be interested in any knowledge, but was particularly interested in the chaotic history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties - if it weren't for Wu Yuanming's frequent tearing of pages from borrowed history books in the library for preservation, the library would definitely not put Wu Yuanming on the blacklist of prohibited borrowing, and Wu Yuanming might still have a 1 in 10,000 chance to become a knowledgeable scholar. But in any case, relying on these accumulations, Wu Yuanming returned to his body in his previous life, and he would not be ignorant of the situation.
"Dad is definitely going to rebel, although in history Dad eventually lost, but there are many reasons for failure, and it is not that there is no chance of success." Maybe it's a natural rebellion, although Wu Yuanming is still being held hostage in Beijing, but this master is already thinking about how to be the emperor, "If I can help my father overthrow the old woman in Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, and push the old man to the position of the emperor, when the old man kicks his legs, the world is not my Wu Yuanming?" By that time, wouldn't there be enough money and beauties? ”
Wu Yuanming's beauty was very obsessed, and he didn't notice the surprised eyes of Wu Fu and his son next to him, in the impression of Wu Fu and his son, although Wu Yingxiong has a rather bad personality, but under the influence of his childhood education, his words and deeds are still very elegant and appropriate, and he never has half a dirty child in his words. But now that Wu Yuanming is sitting, does he still have the demeanor of a child of the family? And opening and closing your mouth is dirty work like "Lao Tzu" and "fucking his mother", and that look and demeanor are almost the same as the hooligans and scoundrels on the streets. But without waiting for Wu Fu and others to ask about the changes in Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming, who was praised as honest and selfless in the comments of the cadres, had already calculated properly.
"Wu Fu, if I'm not mistaken? Three days later...... That is, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, it should be the fiftieth birthday of Ao Xiangye's younger brother Mulima, right? Wu Yuanming asked, fiddling with his braids. Just now, in just a moment, Wu Yuanming had already made a choice - he decided to try to get close to Aobai first, and secretly help Aobai deal with Kangxi, so that the internal division of the Manchu court would continue, not only to give Kangxi, the little ghost leader Chaogang who was boasted as the first emperor of the ages, a chance, but also to give himself and his father more opportunities to profit from it. And if a minister with no name and no power wants to approach Aobai and influence Aobai's actions, he must first get in touch with Aobai's hardcore henchmen.
Wu Funa knew Wu Yuanming's intentions, and was asked by Wu Yuanming's brainless question, and hesitated for a moment before answering: "The son of the world remembers correctly, the sixth day of the first month is indeed the fiftieth birthday of Lord Mulima, and the people in his house have already sent the invitation sticker to the family a few years ago, and the old slave has prepared a pair of Tang San colored pottery horses according to your instructions, and let Wu Lu send them over when the time comes." ”
"Don't send it Tang Sancai, how much silver do we have in our hands?" Wu Yuanming is not only a person who does what he says, but is also good at things like giving gifts and currying favor with his boss. Wu Fu replied quickly this time, "Back to the world, we only have less than two thousand taels of silver left in our hands, and although there are still more than ten thousand taels in the tent, we can't mention it without the instructions of the princess." ”
"That stinky bitch!" Wu Yuanming scolded. It's no wonder that Wu Yuanming is so angry, Wu Sangui has to give Wu Yuanming 30,000 taels of silver for living expenses every year, but most of them are taken away by Princess Jianning, and even the housekeeper at home is the son of Princess Jianning's nurse, without Princess Jianning's instructions, even Wu Yuanming can't come up with money. Thinking of this, Wu Yuanming's careful eyes, which were as pure as natural crystals, naturally moved, "What method should I use to get money out of that evil woman's hands?" ”
"The prince doesn't have to worry about it, the old slave's family has some savings, and the prince can use it to make up two thousand taels first." The loyal Wu Fu heard that Wu Yuanming wanted to give Mu Lima a heavy gift, and hurriedly offered his loyalty to Wu Yuanming: "Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the day when the old prince sends people to the capital to pay tribute and urge the army to pay salaries, and it is also the day when the old prince sends money to the prince, and we will have money at that time." ”
"Two thousand taels of silver? Are you called Hanako when Mulima? Wu Yuanming sneered, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, keep your silver for yourself, I'll find another way for the silver." ”
Wu Fu's father and son looked at each other, Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the customs, and he had offended the Han people all over the world, and now he had a heavy army in Yunnan, and he attracted the jealousy of the Manchu court, causing Wu Yuanming to be surrounded by enemies in Beijing. However, what made Wu Fu's father and son even more suspicious was Wu Yuanming's confident appearance, and the shadow of the indecisive Wu Yingxiong before?
"Wu Fu, you go and call the housekeeper Huang Er, if we want to give Master Mulima a big gift, we have to take the key to the tent in that kid's hand first." As early as the 21st century, Wu Yuanming admired his mind very much, and the abduction and framing of the dirty people came in the blink of an eye, and only a few hours after returning to the Qing Dynasty, Wu Yuanming found that his talent in this area not only did not regress, but improved a lot, and in this corrupt and dark, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant in the Qing Dynasty, it was like a fish in water.
"Now? It's just over the third watch, right? Wu Fu was full of confusion, and cautiously reminded Wu Yuanming: "Shizi, although Huang Er is a subordinate, he is the son of the princess's mother's mother, and he took the key directly from him without the permission of the princess's mother, but I am afraid that the princess will be angry again." Besides, Huang Er is a member of the Han Army, and his mother once combed the hair of the Empress Dowager for half a year, and she relied on the power of the princess Niangniang, with the support of the princess and the Empress Dowager, she may not be happy to hand over the key. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, just go ahead." Wu Yuanming smiled in his heart and waved his hand, signaling Wu Fu to hurry up. The young and strong Wu Xi hurriedly stood up, "Shizi, my father is old, and it is better for me to do this late-night thing." It's a pity that Wu Yuanming, who disrespects heaven and earth and disrespects his parents, did not give Wu Xi a chance to fulfill his filial piety, but just shook his head and said: "This matter still makes Wu Fu hard, you all stay, I still have an explanation." ”
Wu Fu was confused and went to call the housekeeper Huang Er according to Wu Yuanming's instructions, Wu Yuanming beckoned Wu Lu, Wu Shou and Wu Xi to the front again, and explained to them in a low voice. Wu Lu, who is old and serious, and Wu Shou, who is shrewd and capable, feel that Wu Yuanming's move is too damaging, but the two of them immediately thought of the faces of the servants of Princess Jianning in the family when they bullied Wu Yingxiong's servants, so they didn't raise any objections, and arranged according to Wu Yuanming's instructions.

Although the housekeeper Huang Er only lives in Wu Yuanming's mansion, but this Huang Er, who has Princess Jianning and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang as the backstage, is obviously more difficult to invite than the famous doctor Zhou Huichun in the capital, Wu Fu went for nearly an hour to invite the Huang housekeeper of the Wu Mansion, and before Huang Er entered the door, Wu Yuanming vaguely heard Huang Er's chattering complaints, "The prince is really, everyone is sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, why does he still call me up?" This prince is really difficult to serve. ”
"Squeak" The door opened, and Wu Fu, who was covered with snowflakes, walked into the book first, and Huang Er, who was not allowed to enter the room without the instructions of the owner, was not allowed to enter the room because it was too cold outside, and he never took Wu Yuanming in his eyes, so he also squeezed into the study with a charcoal basin in a bear skin mattress.
"Wu Lu, Wu Shou, Wu Xi, how did you do the errand?" When Wu Fu wanted to return to Wu Yuanming, he found that the candles used for lighting in the study had been replaced with four dimly lit vegetable oil lamps after he left, so Wu Fu couldn't help but scold his three sons: "Why did you replace the candles with vegetable oil lamps?" Don't you know that vegetable oil lamps smell big? Don't you know that the smoke of the vegetable oil lamp will smoke the world? ”
"Don't blame them, I told them to change." Wu Yuanming, who had already sat at the desk, first explained to Wu Lu, Wu Shou and the others, and then rummaged through an account book and said: "A candle costs three dollars of silver, which is too expensive, and the silver in our family is so scarce, we can save a little is a little." ”
"Damn, do you want to reconcile with me?" Huang Er, who was in charge of procurement in Wu's mansion, immediately heard Wu Yuanming's voice, there were about ten cents of candles on the market, and the official price of three coins of silver could be exchanged for six hundred wen, and the difference naturally fell into Huang Er's pocket. But Huang Er was not afraid of Wu Yuanming's eyes, but said with a grin: "What the prince said is very true, in order to save money for the house, all the vegetable oil lamps used in our rooms are used, and this candle is too expensive." ”
"Hehe, it's really hard to save money for the master and maintain the daily expenses of the house." Wu Yuanming sneered and ridiculed Huang Erdao: "No wonder it took so long for Wu Fu to invite you, it turned out that you worked too hard, so you slept deeply." ”
"Shizi, you called the slave to come to the study late at night, is there something wrong?" Huang Er didn't want to take advantage of Wu Yuanming's stubble, and asked rudely with a yawn: "If the prince wants to check the accounts in the house, then the servant will bring the big account book that records the expenses of the whole house to the prince tomorrow. ”
Huang Er absolutely looked down on Wu Yingxiong, because he was a tasteless little housekeeper who could sleep with the maid in the outer room every night. And Wu Yingxiong and Princess Jianning have not even touched the little finger of Princess Jianning in the fifteen years since they got married - this is the reason why Wu Yingxiong has a strong kidney vein, as for the beautiful maid that Princess Jianning brought from the palace to the inner room, under the shroud of Princess Jianning's female power, Wu Yingxiong didn't even dare to look at them, and the failure to be a husband and a master to the point of Wu Yingxiong can be regarded as a unique step in the past and the present, what qualifications do you have to make Huang Er fearful?
"Of course, the account needs to be checked, and you can check it slowly." Wu Yuanming saw the contemptuous look on Huang Er's face clearly, but Wu Yuanming, who was very deep in the city, did not attack on his face, but said quietly: "I called you here so late, mainly because there is another thing to order." ”
"Son, please command." Huang Er opened his mouth and yawned again, but Wu Yuanming's next words made his wide open mouth close for a long time. Wu Yuanming said lightly: "From now on, remove you from the position of housekeeper of the Wu Mansion, and Wu Fu will take over as the housekeeper, and you will not take care of the affairs in the account, and let Wu Fu take care of it together." Now you give Wu Fu the keys to the tent, the storeroom, and the various doors, and you can go back to your room and sleep. ”
"What?!" Huang Er jumped three feet high, subconsciously grabbed the big bunch of keys on his waist, and shouted: "Why are you exempted from my housekeeper position?" My housekeeper was personally appointed by the princess, why should I give it to Lao Wu? ”
"No, it's just because I'm the owner of this annex." Wu Yuanming said lightly: "Not only do I not want you to be a housekeeper, but I also want to expel you from the Efu Mansion, now you go back and pack your luggage, and you will get out of me tomorrow." ”
"You're not qualified to drive me away!" Seeing that the position of the rich housekeeper was about to be given to Wu Fu for no reason, and he was going to be expelled from the house, Huang Er was anxious and incoherent, "My mother combed the hair of the Empress Dowager and her old man, and fed the princess Niangniang, I have no credit and hard work, why did you drive me away?" ”
"Huang Er, I advise you not to shake out the things you did in this world." Wu Yuanming threw the account book in his hand on the desk full of books and scrolls, stood up and walked in front of Huang Er, and sneered: "Otherwise, at that time, you will not only be expelled from the mansion, but you will also have to go to prison in a lawsuit." ”
"What did I do wrong?" Huang Er was a little confused, at most he took advantage of the convenience of being a housekeeper to embezzle some silver, but with the backing of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Princess Jianning, there was no yamen in Beijing who dared to let him go to prison for a lawsuit.
"Go look at the book." Wu Yuanming's smile was even colder, and he pointed to the account book on the desk and said, "Go to page 26 and you will know what you have done wrong." ”
"Page twenty-six?" Huang Er was simply the second monk couldn't touch the back of his head, and hurriedly went over to check the reason why he was expelled from the mansion, and as soon as he turned around, Wu Yuanming immediately drew a gesture to Wu Shoubi, who had not spoken next to him......
"Is there twenty-six pages in this book?" Huang Erhu suspiciously reached out to grab the thin account book on the desk. But when Huang Er's hand just touched the account book, the oil lamp on the desk suddenly fell down with a "ping pong", and the vegetable oil in the oil bowl suddenly flowed all over the table, and the books and scrolls on the desk naturally suffered, and they were soaked like paper wrapped in fritters. Moreover, the burning lamp also happened to fall on a yellow scroll, which scorched a lot.
"Oh, Shizi, the villain didn't mean it." When the oil lamp overturned just now, Huang Er was the only one who touched the desk, and even Huang Er thought that he had inadvertently knocked over the oil lamp, so he quickly extinguished the fire on the table, and kept apologizing: "Shizi, the villain will wipe you ...... clean." ”
"Huang Er, you are so bold!" Wu Yuanming suddenly roared with anger on his face, pointed at the yellow scroll and yelled at Huang Er, who was inexplicable: "You dare to destroy the Holy Decree of the First Drop Master!" This is a great sin of disrespect (Note 2)! According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, you will be killed! ”
"The Holy Decree of the First Emperor?" Huang Er was completely frightened at this moment, and quickly picked up the yellow scroll and unfolded it, and at first glance, Huang Er suddenly collapsed on the ground in fright, foaming at the mouth and almost fainting, the yellow scroll that had been soaked in tar - it was the holy decree that Emperor Shunzhi gave Wu Yingxiong the title of Shaobao and Prince Taibao in the fourteenth year of Shunzhi!
"Huang Er, no one can bear the crime of great disrespect, and now this world will not dare to cover up with you." Wu Yuanming seemed to be very distressed, and waved his hand to the three Wu Lu brothers who were about to laugh in their stomachs: "Wu Lu, Wu Xi, you drag Huang Er down and lock him up in the firewood room, and he will be sent to Shuntian Mansion early tomorrow morning to punish the crime." ”
"The son of the world spares his life, spares his life!" Huang Er, who was so frightened that he peed his crotch, cried and cried, and kept kowtowing to Wu Yuanming and begging for mercy, but Wu Shou and Wu Xi, who were usually bullied by him, didn't want to let go of this opportunity to punish him, so they first took off the key on his waist and handed it to Wu Yuanming, and then rewarded him with a few loud slaps, and then dragged Huang Er out of the door.
"The son spares his life! The villain is willing to give the housekeeper to Lao Wu, the son of the world, you will spare the villain this time, the villain will never dare again. Huang Er's mournful cry outside the door gradually faded away, and Wu Fu, the old servant in the room who was about to be promoted to housekeeper, was full of doubts and muttered: "Even if this is the case, even the princess and the empress dowager can't save Huang Er's life." But that's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Why did Huang Er turn over as soon as he touched the oil lamp on his desk? It also happened to burn the holy decree of the first emperor? Also, how did the holy decree that should have been offered to the incense hall end up on the desk of the prince? ”
"Dad, it's not a coincidence." Wu Shou, whose belly was almost fried with a smile, spread out his palm, revealing a thin black long line, and the other end of the long line was naturally tied to the overturned oil lamp......
"Wu Fu, from now on, you will be the housekeeper in my house." Wu Yuanming threw the set of keys to Wu Fu and instructed: "You will bring me 10,000 taels of silver early tomorrow morning, I will be of great use." Also, tomorrow you will buy some slaves in Zhaohuazi, who has fled to Beijing, and you must buy those who drag your family with you, and the whole family must buy them, so that it can be reliable. Except for the four of you and your father, the people in the outer room of our house gradually and gradually all the others were reformed and replaced by people who received the favor of our family. The spies of the thirteen yamen have a nose that is smarter than a dog. ”
