PS: From the 23rd to the 25th of this month, there will be a 12-hour local power outage during the day every day, so the book update will be ...... late at night from Monday to Wednesday next year. Another: "Sealed Demons" will resume the update from tomorrow. Again: Although the update will be late in the three days starting tomorrow, in order not to let the pure wolf fall too badly on the new book list, I also ask friends to continue to support flowers and clicks. οΌ‰

It has been said that time is the best healing medicine, the best pain reliever. This is really good, no, three days have passed since the deathfight in Wu Yingxiong's Mansion that night, and Shi Jianmei, who caused the deathfight, has changed from a fragrant and sweet to a maid in Wu's Mansion that no one cares about. And Shi Jianmei's original fiancΓ© Wei Dongting was on the rise, Kangxi casually found a reason, and promoted Wei Dongting to the first-class guard in one fell swoop, and the deputy head of the imperial guard, I heard that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also personally acted as a matchmaker and assigned the granddaughter of Prince Kang Jieshu to Wei Dongting. When the news came, Shi Jianmei cried a lot, and the water and rice did not enter for two days and two nights, but just when Wu Yuanming was worried that Shi Jianmei was about to commit suicide, Shi Jianmei suddenly forced herself to drink and eat again, but she didn't say a word again, and the hatred in her eyes when she looked at Wu Yuanming was even deeper.

In addition to Wei Dongting's official promotion, Hu Gongshan was promoted to the fifth deputy doctor of Tai Hospital, and was also rewarded with three hundred taels of gold by Kangxi for his superb medical skills; Although Hu Gongshan's younger sister Li Yuliang had no news, the information sent by Ao Bai to Wu Yuanming was that Li Yuliang might be with Wu Ciyou, so Wu Yuanming could find Wu Ciyou's whereabouts as soon as possible. In addition, Mu Zixu and Hao Laosi were also promoted to the second class guards with knives in the front of the imperial front, and the commander of the forward battalion, Wu He, was driven to serve in the Fengtai garrison by Kangxi because he was ruthlessly participated in by Ao Bai - it is estimated that there is another compensation in secret, but the person who replaced Wu He is Kangxi's uncle Tong Guowei, which disappointed Ao Bai, who wanted to take the opportunity to control the forward battalion. However, what Wu Yuanming and Ao Bai admired the most was Kangxi's attitude towards the donkey, Kangxi unexpectedly did not abandon the disabled donkey, but promoted the donkey to the second-class guard with a knife, and at the same time there was news that the donkey had worshipped Li Yuliang as a teacher and learned a set of one-armed knife techniques from Li Yuliang.

In the blink of an eye, the time was already the morning of the eighth day of the first month of the eighth year of Kangxi, and the morning of the fiftieth birthday of the former Jingxi general Mulima......

"Wu Lu, Wu Shou, Wu Xi, why haven't you three little bastards gotten up yet, get out of here." Wu Yuanming yawned and kicked open the door of Wu Lu's room, and the exclamation of the pretty maid Xiangzhu immediately came from the room, "Shizi, the slave is in the room, Wu Lu don't ...... Don't open the tent. Then Wu Lu also howled, "Shizi, you must not lift the tent, please wait for a while, and the slave will get dressed and come out immediately." ”

"The second watch sleeps, I can't get up when it's too late, be careful not to be tired." Wu Yuanming, who had just gotten up after pulling the red peony to sleep at the beginning of the shift, yawned again, and went out to kick the door of Wu Shou and Wu Xi's room, "Get up, get up, I have something in this world for you to sit." And Wu Shou and Wu Xi's room also heard the screams of Linghe and Yun Sleeve successively, and soon, the Wu Mansion became a mess of men and women.

In the evening of two days, in order to reward the three brothers of the Wu family who were loyal to him, Wu Yuanming even coaxed and deceived the three pretty maids of Xiangzhu, Linghe and Yunchong to the three brothers as wives, and even the half-old Bian Mama who still had charm was rewarded by Wu Yuanming to Wu Fu, the old servant who had lost his wife for several years, and promised that as long as Mama Bian served Wu Fu well, Wu Yuanming would try to rescue Mama Bian's only son, Huang Er. Wu Yuanming was originally kind and popular, who would have thought that the three brothers of the Wu family, who had been single for many years, would fall into Gentle Township as soon as they married a beautiful wife, but instead asked Wu Yuanming, the master, to urge them to get up.

After tossing for a while, the three brothers of the Wu family, whose faces were covered with lipstick marks and rouge marks, finally appeared in front of Wu Yuanming in rags, and the three brothers were a little embarrassed, and apologized to Wu Yuanming with a smile: "Forgive me, the minions are too lazy, what do you have to tell the prince?" ”

"Look at your little bit of talent, everyone just got up so late when they just married a wife, and they will marry the fifth and sixth aunts in the future, and they won't tire you to death?" After Wu Yuanming shamelessly taught the three brothers of the Wu family, he yawned and said: "Go and wash the rouge lipstick on your faces, this prince invites you to drink bean juice, and then we will go to the carriage shop in the east of the city to get the custom-made carriage to celebrate Mulima's birthday." Tell Wu Fu and your wife that we won't come back for dinner at noon and evening, and we will all go to Mulima's house to eat and drink for nothing. ”

"Thank you for the reward." The three brothers of the Wu family were so happy to wash their faces, these three brothers were not the bean juice that Wu Yuanming invited them to drink, but when they went to Mu Lima's house to celebrate their birthday, Mu Lima's housekeeper and master of ceremonies would definitely give some rewards, these three brothers just married their wives, and it was time to spend money. After a while, the three brothers packed up their belongings, said goodbye to their wives and fathers, and left home with Wu Yuanming in a carriage.

The carriage pulled Wu Yuanming first to the snack stalls gathered in Dashilar, all kinds of food stalls on both sides of the road one after another, smoky and burning, people coming and going, very lively. Wu Yuanming was really a little hungry, and when he found a bean juice stall, he slapped the table and shouted: "Boss, four bowls of bean juice, eight burnt circles, and two dishes of pickled cucumbers, hurry, master, I'm starving to death." ”

"The four of you sit down for a while, and here β€”β€”!" The owner of the bean juice stall shouted with a clear voice, and soon served four bowls of bean juice as instructed, and took eight fried golden and fragrant coke rings, Wu Yuanming was not polite, first drank half a bowl of bean juice in one go, grabbed two coke rings and chewed them, the rude eating appearance was really like the reincarnation of a starving ghost. Wu Yuanming was feasting, and Wu Shou, who was as careful as a hair, suddenly reminded Wu Yuanming: "Shizi, there are two people in the enema stall next door who have been watching you, and they have been staring since you sat down, please be careful." ”

"Could it be Li Yuliang's comradeship?" Wu Yuanming, who had done a lot of bad things, was startled, and quickly turned his head to look at the enema stall next door, and sure enough, he found that there were two men staring at him on the enema stall, one of the two men was about twenty years old, very handsome, and had some capital to hook up with women from good families; The other person was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the young man's appearance was much worse than that of the young man, and his face was full of pitted pockmarks, all of which were pox marks left by smallpox when he was a child, but his temperament was far above that of the handsome young man, and he looked like he was commanding, and his status seemed to be very noble.

"Why is this little pockmark's vision so ruthless?" Wu Yuanming found that the little pockmarked gaze at him was very vicious, as if he had an enmity with him. The little pockmark also found that Wu Yuanming was observing him, and his arrogant gaze immediately turned to Wu Yuanming's eyes, and Wu Yuanming collided with his gaze in the air, and suddenly encountered a string of silent sparks.

"Damn, I really want to cut this little pockmark with a knife!" For some reason, Wu Yuanming was very upset with this little pockmark when he saw him for the first time, and he had an urge to break him into pieces. But what Wu Yuanming didn't know was that the little pockmark who was fighting with him had the same idea in his heart......

"Little monkey cub, stop! You give Lao Tzu a stop! Just when Wu Yuanming and the little pockmarked eyes were angry, there was a sudden shouting and scolding in the downtown area, which attracted the attention of Wu Yuanming and the little pockmark, Wu Yuanming turned his head and saw a white and fat middle-aged man holding a wooden stick in his hand, panting and chasing a little eunuch who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. ”

"Stealing something from the palace?" Wu Yuanming suddenly understood, eighty percent of the little eunuch stole some things in the palace to exchange money in the ghost market because his family was poor or because he was short of money, which was a common thing in the palace. At this time, the handsome young man who came with the little pockmark suddenly stretched out a foot and tripped a dog and ate on the poor little eunuch who was passing by him, and the white fat middle-aged man took the opportunity to pounce on him and beat him with a stick, scolding while beating: "Little monkey cub, Lao Tzu told you to run!" Tell you to run! ”

"Yu Ye spares his life, spares his life, I don't dare anymore." The little eunuch was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, he covered his head and rolled on the ground, crying: "Yu Ye, my mother's illness has been committed again, I really have no choice but to steal the things in the palace, I will return the porcelain kiln bowl to you, please don't fight." It doesn't matter if you kill me, but my blind old lady has no one to take care of. ”

"Fuck you, I stole something from the palace, and I'll be okay if I go back? Lao Tzu doesn't care if your blind old lady is dead or alive! The middle-aged man surnamed Yu was very vicious, and his hands became heavier and heavier, "You fuck, what is it bad to steal, you dare to steal the Jun kiln bowl used by Kangxi Ye to taste tea today, Lao Tzu not only wants to beat you, but also twist you to Shuntianfu and kill your head!" ”

"Stop!" Although Wu Yuanming was always called a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs by drivers in the 20th century, Wu Yuanming still unconditionally allowed vehicles to transport emergency patients or disaster relief materials. And the middle-aged man wanted to kill a little eunuch for a cup of tea for Kangxi, whom Wu Yuanming hated the most, Wu Yuanming was even more unhappy, and stood up and shouted, "Stop!" You fuck you! Do you really want to kill someone? ”

"Who are you? Why should you care about me? The middle-aged man surnamed Yu saw that Wu Yuanming was dressed extraordinarily, and there were three attendants next to him, knowing that Wu Yuanming was not something to be messed with, so he stopped his hand and said: "This master, you better leave this matter alone, this little monkey cub is stealing things that are long live today, and the matter is getting bigger, I'm afraid it will not be good for you." ”

"Phew!" Wu Yuanming spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, walked over and pushed away the middle-aged man surnamed Yu, pulled up the little eunuch who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and asked softly: "This little brother, what is your name?" For what, steal things from the palace? Who is he? Why did you hit you so hard? ”

"Uncle, my name is Xiao Maozi." The little eunuch wiped her tears and said: "Because my family is poor, I carried my mother into the palace two years ago, but when my mother heard that I was clean, she cried and fell ill. A few days ago, my mother's illness was committed again, and it cost money to treat, but I only had one or two silver a month, I really couldn't help it, this morning I stole a Jun kiln bowl in the imperial dining room, and was going to exchange money for my mother to treat her in the ghost market, who knew that in the ghost market I actually met the chef Yu Yu in the imperial dining room, and he recognized it as something in the palace, so he chased and beat me. ”

As he spoke, the little Maozi took out a fist-sized paper bag from his arms, and when he opened the paper bag, the little Maozi immediately exclaimed, "Oh no, the Junyao bowl was broken." "It turned out that when Xiao Maozi was chased and beaten by Yu Su just now, I don't know if Xiao Maozi was broken when he fell or was inadvertently broken by Yu Kun, in short, there was only a pile of turquoise broken porcelain pieces left in the paper bag.

"Haha, little monkey cub, you're going to die now." Chef Yu laughed and applauded: "I broke the royal thing, what will I do if I see you this time?" Who knew that before Yu Kun's words fell, Wu Yuanming had already slapped him in the face, and Yu Kun, who was beaten inexplicably, touched his face and asked, "Why did you hit me?" ”

"Why did you hit you?" Wu Yuanming snorted coldly and said viciously: "When you beat this little eunuch just now, you deliberately smashed the imperial porcelain bowl of the current long live, not to mention beating you, even killing your head!" ”

"I deliberately broke the porcelain bowl used by the emperor?" It was probably the first time in his life that Yu Su had met someone who had pointed to a deer as a horse to this point, covering his face and roaring: "You are talking nonsense! Sling the bull! Just now, it was clear that when this little monkey cub fell, he smashed the royal bowl of the Long Live Lord! ”

"You broke it." Wu Yuanming framed that was a good trick, and estimated that the miserable life experience of that little hairy man had moved the onlookers, so he turned to the onlookers and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you also saw it just now, when this ruthless Yu Yu Chef beat this poor little eunuch just now, he specifically hit him on the head and chest, please comment on the old and young masters, who broke this porcelain bowl?" ”

"It was broken by Yu Xuan." Everyone has sympathy, especially the sympathy of the common people, and the poor background of the little Maozi is still a filial son, so the onlookers pointed at Na Yu and shouted: "He broke it, he broke it on purpose." ”

"Have you eaten leopard gall? Do you know who I am? Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Yu knew that he had committed the anger of the people. But Yu Su refused to admit his mistake, and stubbornly threatened: "I am a cook who specializes in cooking for Aunt Su Mala, a celebrity around Long Live Lord, if I sue Grandma Su Ma, you will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”

"Whew!" Wu Yuanming spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm again, which would be spit directly on Na Yu's face, Wu Yuanming sneered: "It doesn't matter if you cook for Aunt Su Mala or for Aunt Mazi, you broke the porcelain bowl used by the emperor, this is a capital crime of great disrespect, let's go, go with the master to Shuntian Mansion, let this little Maozi be the plaintiff, and I will be a witness, prove that you broke the imperial bowl, see whose crime Shuntianfu is to treat?" ”

"You? Who are you? Seeing that Aunt Su Mala in the background couldn't frighten Wu Yuanming, she panicked in her heart, and hurriedly asked Wu Yuanming's identity. Wu Yuanming sneered at Wu Lu and the others, and Wu Xi immediately jumped out and shouted: "Boy, you are in big trouble this time, our master is the prince of Pingxi, and his honorable name is Wu Yingxiong!" ”

"The son of the world spares his life!" Yu Su is completely stupid at this moment, fighting a lawsuit in Beijing where the prince walks all over the street and Baylor crawls everywhere, it is not a reason, but a competition backstage, he is a small palace chef and the prince of Pingxi is in a lawsuit, so Shuntianfu still doesn't peel his skin? Yu Su knelt down with a plop, trembling and kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Shizi, spare the villain this time, the villain will never dare again, the villain should die, the villain kowtowed to you, you adults don't care about the villain, you can't worry about a slave like me." ”

"Damn, you have eyes." Wu Yuanming still has something to do, and he really doesn't want to deal with a little cook, Wu Yuanming kicked that Yu Su all over the face, fell on his back, and shouted: "If you are interested, take out fifty taels of silver for the medical expenses of this little father-in-law, otherwise, Lao Tzu will skin you!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." That Yu Su was pardoned, and hurriedly took out the silver from his body, but he only brought a dozen taels of silver on him, and he had no choice but to cry and beg for mercy with a sad face: "Son, the slave only brought twelve taels of silver, and the rest, can the slave make up for it later?" ”

"Yes." Wu Yuanming took out a few golden melon seeds from his body and stuffed them into Xiao Maozi's hand, and ordered: "Xiao Maozi, you take this money to your mother for treatment first, if it's not enough, just go to Shihu Hutong to find me." And this Yu Wei owes you money, if he dares not to give it, you go to the palace to find the commander of the imperial guard, Lord Nemone, and say what I said, ask him to help you with the account. ”

"Thank you, the slave kowtowed to you." The little Maozi tearfully took Wu Yuanming's golden melon seeds, kowtowed and thanked him, and the people who were watching were amazed, and many people said in their hearts that the son of the big traitor, the little traitor, was still a little human. Originally, the matter had come to this point, and it should have come to an end, but just as Xiao Maozi was about to receive Yu Xuan's silver, another branch stretched horizontally......

"Don't give!" A voice stopped Yu Su's hand handing the silver to Xiao Maozi, Wu Yuanming turned his head to look, and saw that the person who spoke turned out to be Xiao Mazi, who was very unhappy with each other when he looked at Wu Yuanming just now. That little pockmark was full of anger at the moment, originally he was quite sympathetic when he heard Xiao Maozi's miserable life experience, but he saw Wu Yuanming's bullying and contempt for the royal family, and hated the house, and his sympathy for Xiao Maozi turned into resentment. The little pockmark took a step forward and shouted: "Yu Yan, you don't have to give money, I can testify to you, it is the imperial bowl that this eunuch thief broke by himself!" If you want to fight a lawsuit, I will give you a testimony to Shuntianfu! ”

"Shout, a rabbit pops out of the flock!" Wu Yuanming relied on having a powerful father as the backstage, and he put the ordinary prince and son in his eyes. Without waiting for the little pockmark to speak again, Wu Yuanming, who was extremely unhygienic, had already blurted out the third mouthful of thick phlegm, and it was impartially spit on the bridge of the little pock's nose. The little pockmark was humiliated on the street, and almost fainted, and shouted angrily: "Bold, you dare to ...... Am I so rude? ”

If that little pockmark revealed his identity in time, the matter might be over, but he used the wrong words to grasp his identity, and Wu Yuanming, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, immediately slapped him on his numb face a few times. Wu Yuanming was very uncomfortable with this little pockmark from the beginning, relying on his height and strength to be far away from that little pockmark, grabbing his braid with a big bully, fists and slaps rained down, and scolded while beating: "Little Mapi, why didn't your father shoot you on the wall back then?" Let your hemp skin come out and be embarrassed? You still dare to go against this world, have you eaten the gall of a leopard? ”

"Bold." The handsome young man who came with the little pockmark was furious, and he was about to cut Wu Yuanming when he drew his knife, but unfortunately his knife had not been pulled out, and the three brothers of the Wu family who came with Wu Yuanming had already pounced on him and pressed him to the ground with all hands and feet, beating him so much that he shouted, "Wu Yingxiong, you are so bold, you dare to fight long live today?" Aren't you afraid of raiding your home? ”

"Long live today?" Wu Yuanming's fist stopped in the air, and he looked at the little pockmark who was beaten by himself and bled from his mouth and nose with a pale face, and said in his heart, Why am I so confused? I forgot that Kangxi was a pockmarked man who had smallpox (Note 2)! It's all blame on those tattered screenwriters and directors on TV, who played Kangxi so handsomely, and now he made Lao Tzu miserable!

"Wu Yingxiong, how dare you beat Yu Zhen?" It was only at this time that the little pockmark, that is, the long-lived Kangxi Ye today, seized the opportunity, and asked Wu Yuanming with a cruel smile: "Wu Yingxiong, are you guilty?" ”

"Fuck you!" Wu Yuanming fell with a punch and hit the bridge of Kangxi's nose hard, and Kangxi's nose, which was already bleeding, suddenly splashed blood......

……

At the same time, on the official road leading from Dingzhou to Baoding, a team with a clear banner is marching forward under the rising sun, in the middle of the team is hundreds of carriages, in the middle of the carriage procession, a thin middle-aged man with the appearance of a tuberculosis ghost holds a huge hookah, coughing violently, while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the official road, not sighing for a long time, it seems that he is preoccupied.

"Strategist, the capital fast horse sent news." A herald hurried to the leprosy carriage and knelt down on one knee holding up a sealed letter. The leprosy ghost coughed and took the letter, unnaturally opened the letter with both hands, and unfolded the letterhead in it to look closely, the letter was very long, divided into three pages, and the leprosy ghost who was very nervous only read the first page and sat up straight, and his spirit suddenly perked up, and when he finished reading the second page, the leprosy ghost couldn't help but pat the carriage window, coughed and laughed: "Ahem...... It's good, I can't imagine that the Wu family has a long-term person who knows how to balance the Kangao dispute...... Cough...... Let their disputes expand...... Ahem, ahem! ”

"After entering Beijing, it seems necessary to talk to him in detail." The leprosy ghost coughed and turned the third page of the letter, but his face changed so much that he forgot to cough when he was so nervous that he slapped the carriage and shouted, "Quick, quick, come, invite General Huangfu!" ”

In an instant, a strong man no less tall than Ao Bai rushed to his horse, the figure of the strong man was very burly, like an iron tower, and the luster of his skin was also very strange, shining in the sun, exuding a metallic light. The big man turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists with both hands, and roared angrily: "The last general, Huangfu Baozhu, see the military division, what are the instructions of the military division?" ”

"Ahem...... quick, quick, quick, cough, go to the capital." The leprosy ghost nervously ordered: "Before sunset, you must rush to the capital!" Cough...... Ahem ......, be sure to ...... Cough...... Be sure to ...... Want...... To be in the capital's big ...... Protect the son of the world in prison, cough ...... Straight...... Until the third passage of the prince was sent to the capital, cough cough...... Cough. ”

For more information on what happened next, see the next chapter.

Note 1: Ghost market, a black market for reselling stolen goods.

Note 2: Kangxi suffered from smallpox when he was two years old, and although he was cured, he became pockmarked, but it was precisely because Kangxi had smallpox that Shunzhi chose him to succeed him.
