PS: The new book is on the list, please support the flowers and recommend them. )

At the same time when Kangxi was talking secretly with Wu Ciyou and others, Wu Yuanming, who had finished dinner, asked the three brothers of the Wu family to bring another 30,000 taels of silver, and asked the little girl Hui'er to continue gambling on behalf of herself and the officials of the Aobai family. Wu Yuanming himself didn't even bring the Huangfu Baozhu, and came to Mu Lima's study alone, and Ao Bai's number one cronie, the pubic hair family Ban Bushan, had already been invited here by Mu Lima and waited for Wu Yuanming's master.

"The prince is here, please sit down." When Wu Yuanming entered the room, Mu Lima saw that his task was completed, and he was anxious to go to the gambling table to slaughter the little girl Hui'er's rare big sheep, and immediately bowed his hand to Wu Yuanming and Bambulshan: "Shizi, Mulima has done everything he should do, you can talk to Lord Bambulshan specifically, Mulima is a rough person, go and play money first." After that, Murimasa left, leaving only Wu Yuanming and Bambulshan in the study, which also made it easier for Wu Yuanming to act.

"The prince really has good means, 20,000 taels of silver, and he just bought Lord Mulima to disobey the order of the Prime Minister." As soon as Mulima left, Bambulshan asked unceremoniously: "I don't know if the prince took great pains to get Ban here, what advice do you have?" Bamburshan thought about it and asked: "There is another thing that Ban Mou also wants to ask the prince for advice, as far as Ban knows, the mother of the son of the world, Zhang, has no brothers and sisters, and a cousin came from there?" ”

"Did Lord Bambu mean that little girl was gambling outside?" Wu Yuanming asked rhetorically. Seeing that Bamburshan nodded, Wu Yuanming replied with a smile: "Lord Bambu is really well-informed, Wu does not have any cousin, and the little girl outside is actually the only daughter of the university scholar Suo Etu-Hesheri Zhaohui!" ”

"What? Hesheri Akie? Future Queen! Bamburshan's surprise was not trivial, he almost thought that Wu Yuanming was actually Kangxi's person, but when he thought about it carefully, it didn't look like - after all, no emperor would allow the future empress to sit in other men's bad. After a long time, Bambur stared into Wu Yuanming's eyes and asked, "Even the future queen dares to do it, is the prince determined to go against the emperor?" ”

"Lord Bambu misunderstood." Wu Yuanming has lived for nearly 30 years, and for the first time, he said something with a clear conscience, "Hui'er and I only have the love of brother and sister, innocent, and have nothing else to do with it." However, Wu Yuanming's words should be changed in the 21st century, and some people may still believe it, but in this era of male and female defense, Wu Yuanming and Hui'er hugged and said that they were innocent, and it would be strange if Bamburshan would believe it. But it also made Bamble believe in his heart that Wu Yuanming was determined to turn his face with Kangxi - otherwise he would not rob Kangxi's future wife.

"As for going against the Emperor, aren't you, Lord Bambu?" Wu Yuanming knew that Bamburshan was a smart person, and he had no scruples when talking to him. Sure enough, to Wu Yuanming's expectation, Bambulshan did not deny or flaunt his loyalty to the monarch like other officials, and Bambulshan replied lightly: "Bambulshan naturally does not dare to rebel against the emperor, but Ao Xiangye has the grace of knowing Bambulshan, so naturally Ao Xiangye is the first to look forward." ”

"It's a good one." Wu Yuanming had a smile on his face, and slowly spit out a sentence that made Bamburshan tremble, "I'm afraid that Xiangye Ao is a praying mantis catching cicadas, and Lord Bambu is a yellow finch behind, right?" Lord Bambu, do you need Wu to shake out the things about you and Lord Jishi and Lord Ge Ha? ”

In fact, Wu Yuanming's words were just to intimidate Bambulshan, Wu Yuanming only knew that Bambulshan colluded with Jishi, Ge Yanha and others, and was ready to reap the benefits after Aobai and Kangxi were defeated, but as for the evidence, he didn't catch it at all. But Wu Yuanming has already exposed the 'glorious' achievements of Kangxi's spy Shi Jianmei and Liu Hua, and the cautious Ban Bushan really thinks that Wu Yuanming has caught him, and the nervousness in his heart can be imagined. However, Bamburshan is not a three-year-old child who can be frightened after all, and after pondering quietly for a long time, Bambulshan asked calmly: "Besides Jishi and Ge Luha, what else does the prince know?" ”

"Alas, Lord Banbu does things without leakage, how much else can Wu know?" Wu Yuanming let out a long sigh and said vaguely: "Except for Hao Laosi's matter, Wu should not know anything about Lord Bamburshan." ”

"Good boy, I even know that Hao Laosi was secretly bought by me!" Bambulshan was shocked again, he bribed Kangxi's henchman guard Hao Laosi behind his back, he wanted to play the role of a surprise soldier at a critical moment, he thought he was doing it unknowingly, but he didn't expect it to be exposed by Wu Yuanming, and the horror in Bamburshan's heart can be imagined - it's a pity that what Bambulshan didn't know was that Wu Yuanming knew that the history he knew didn't record much about him, and he and Hao Laosi were also the last information Wu Yuanming had. After mistakenly finding out all his hole cards by Wu Yuanming, Bamburshan knew that he had to make a decision today, so he tentatively asked Wu Yuanming: "Since the prince of the world has been planning to spy on Ban, then the prince must have a plan, but I don't know what the son of the world wants?" ”

"Lord Bambu is a smart man, and of course he must say smart things to smart people." Wu Yuanming smiled and said, "It's not a secret, Wu just wants to buy a double insurance." ”

"Double insurance?" Bamburshan was confused by the term, "What is double insurance?" ”

…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

"What double insurance means." Wu Yuanming had a pure and flawless smile on his face, but what came out of his mouth were dirty words that were enough to kill his family and go to the moral court, "In the future, no matter who can win in the end, no matter who can ascend to the throne, my Wu family will not bet on the wrong treasure on the gambling plate in the world, and they can profit from it!" ”

"What does the prince mean? Shizi wants to join forces with Ban? "Bamburshan is so smart, he immediately heard Wu Yuanming's voice. Wu Yuanming's smile was still so pure, and he nodded: "If this son didn't want to join forces with Lord Ban Bushan, I'm afraid that I would have already stabbed this matter to Xiangye Ao, right?" At that time, as soon as Lord Bambulshan falls, I am afraid that the status of this son in front of Xiangye will definitely rise. ”

"Then why didn't the prince do this?" Bamble said in a dark voice: "Although the prince didn't say the main purpose of looking for Ban today, Ban also knew that the prince wanted Ban to persuade Ao to join forces with the prince and ask the court for more military salaries. In this case, why didn't the prince expose Ban to Aobai? In order to gain the trust and support of Aobai? ”

"The reason is very simple, I like to put cold arrows in my back, secretly stumble, and I don't like to show my head." Wu Yuanming's smile became more and more pure, and his words became more and more pure, "Besides, Ao Bai only believes in Manchurians, and doesn't trust us Han people very much, why should I go to him to be a trembling man again?" It's better to ask Lord Banbu to charge in front of me to cover the gun and block the arrows, and I will cheer for Lord Banbu safely behind my back, no matter who can come out on top in the future, I Wu Yingxiong can go back to Yunnan to take over as the king of Pingxi and be my free prince. ”

"Rascals! Bummer! Shameless! Bamburshan scolded a few words in his heart, and asked with a sneer: "The prince has not paid at all, so he wants to reap the benefits?" This wishful thinking is too good, right? ”

"Lord Banbu misunderstood, Wu didn't want to force you to persuade Ao to worship, nor did he want you to work hard in vain." Wu Yuanming said with a smile: "As far as Wu knows, this time the Jufeng Silver Account suddenly went out of business, and the 250,000 taels of silver stored in the Silver Account by Lord Banbu were also lost, and Lord Banbu was very short of action funds, right?" If Lord Bambu helps me get the military salary done, and I take out half of the military salary and give it to Lord Bambu, Lord Bambu should be satisfied, right? ”

"Half of the military salary?!" Bamburshan was also surprised by Wu Yuanming's generosity, and the already shaky balance suddenly fell to Wu Yuanming's side. However, Bamburshan was still a little puzzled, and asked again: "Shizi, if Ban's expectations are good, the benefits you promised to Aobai and Mulima are at least the same as Ban's, plus bribing other officials, Shizi is only afraid that he will have to take out 20% of the military salary." But Yungui's side is still anxious to ask for military salaries to raise the army, and the military salaries that the prince asked for from the imperial court are not a small amount, right? Can the prince tell Ban how much military pay the prince intends to ask the imperial court? ”

The amount of military salaries that Wu Yuanming was ready to extort from Xiao Mazi was repeatedly balanced and calculated by him, Yao Qisheng, and Liu Xuanchu in combination with the imperial court's taxes, the treasury, and the imperial treasury. More importantly, it is to force the Qing court to increase taxes and drive a wedge between the Qing court and the people, which is the ultimate goal of Wu Yuanming, Liu Xuanchu and Yao Qisheng! Wu Yuanming naturally wouldn't easily confide in such important data, so as not to prepare Kangxi, so Wu Yuanming replied gloomily: "The more military salary I want, won't Lord Banbu get more?" ”

"Of course I know this, what Ban is worried about is that if the prince is not sure, the lion opened his mouth and didn't ask for the silver, and forced the court to really turn his face against the king of Pingxi." Bamburshan was also afraid that Wu Yuanming would really force the imperial court to start a war with Wu Sangui, and Aobai, who completely controlled the military power of the Qing court, would not have a second person to restrain him. Wu Yuanming saw his worries, and said in a dark voice: "Don't worry, Lord Banbu, the military salary I want is definitely out of the imperial court, don't forget, the imperial court has just confiscated the Jufeng Silver Number, and what Kang Xiaosan has in his hand is silver." ”

"It's ......." Bamburshan was still a little worried, Wu Yuanming said impatiently: "Lord Bambu, you are a smart person, I think you should also know that if you don't cooperate with me, you won't be able to get the money to do great things, not to mention, your head will probably have to fall to the ground." Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Ao Bai and Kangxi lose their minds and spare you, and you take shit and get on the Dragon Court, without the support and recognition of our Wu family, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit still, right? ”

"You threaten me?" Bamburshan was furious and slapped the table and yelled. Wu Yuanming smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, I just threatened you, what can you do?" ”

"I really can't help you." Bamburshan had a gloomy face, stared at Wu Yuanming and said, "Shizi, I have a big truth I want to tell you, but if I say it, you can't be angry." ”

"Listen up." Wu Yuanming said with a smile: "It's rare for Lord Banbu to tell the truth, how can I be angry?" ”

"Then I said it." Bamburshan stared at Wu Yuanming's eyes, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Shizi, you are a complete scoundrel, my handle fell into your hands, it is really the evil mold of his eighteen lifetimes!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment, I wonder if Lord Bambu is willing to fall for this bad luck?" Wu Yuanming asked with a grin. Bamburshan sighed and nodded, "No way, what choice do I have but to promise you?" But let me say first, I'm only 70% sure of convincing Aobai, and if I fail......? ”

"I will betray you to Ao Bai at once." Wu Yuanming smiled even sweeter, and Bamburshan sighed again, "You are really a rascal, I'll do my best." But I have one more condition, that when I am done, you fathers and sons must stand up for me on the throne. Bamburshan made up again, "There is no basis for words, you must establish a word, to be honest, with real evidence, Bambu dares to believe you, a rogue son." ”

"Justification? Of course. Wu Yuanming smiled and took out two notes from the cuffs, and said with a wicked smile: "Lord Banbu, I have already written the documents for our cooperation, you just need to sign and press your fingerprint." ”

"Already written?" Bambulshan took the two notes in surprise, and sure enough, his name was written on the two notes, and there was one more clause in the cooperation clause - once Bambulshan ascended the throne, he must hand over Sichuan to the king of Pingxi and take charge of it! Although this condition is more harsh, Bamburshan has no choice but to sign his name with a wry smile and press his handprint, Wu Yuanming also concocted the same method, and the two sides each hold a copy and restrain each other.

"Okay, Lord Bambu, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, Aobai there, I hope you can do it within tomorrow, anyway, the other subordinates of Aobai are also shaken now, you just need to tell them that I will be grateful after the deed, and I am not afraid that they will not join forces with you." Wu Yuanming said to Ban Bushan while receiving the agreement signed with Bambulshan. Bamburshan also stuffed the agreement back into the shoe, and said: "Shizi, we are grasshoppers on a rope, then I will also provide you with information, Suo Etu also suffered heavy losses in the matter of Jufeng Yin, and the family is already unable to make ends meet, if you give up the silver, maybe you can say that he can support you in the matter of military salary." ”

"Suoetu is also bankrupt? When his father Sonny was alive, he was an official who was older than Aobai, and the family had silver, so it wasn't so easy to fall, right? Wu Yuanming was stunned, and Bambur smiled and said: "He has a lot of silver, but it's a pity that he bet on Kangxi, and most of the cash has been contributed to Kangxi's expenses, but now Kangxi has not yet decided with Aobai, and Suo Etu has not been rewarded, but the silver stored in the silver number has been lost." My spy at Suo Etu's house reported that Suo Etu had dropped a lot of tea bowls last night for the sake of silver, and the prince should not let go of this opportunity, right? ”

"Of course." Wu Yuanming touched his chin, and said in his heart that this was indeed an opportunity, when he and the imperial court were deadlocked in the number of military salaries, Suo Etu might be able to play the role of a surprise soldier. I'm going to send Hui'er's little girl home in a while, and it's not bad to test Suo Etu's tone. Just when Wu Yuanming was thinking about how to corrode Suo Etu, Hui'er's voice suddenly came from outside the study, "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, it's not good, I'm going to settle accounts with you." ”
