"God, Allah, Buddha, Jesus! I, Wu Yuanming, have spent my life paving bridges and roads, giving porridge and giving food, and doing good deeds and accumulating virtues! Why did you give me these two bale allies? Facing Geng Xinghe, the two brothers of the family, Wu Yuanming was speechless in his heart. But for the sake of being a hostage and a brother of the family, Wu Yuanming still held back his anger and said: "Two virtuous brothers, the military salary is not a child's play, it is inconvenient to say it here, let's go to the study to talk." ”

"Brother Shi, don't worry, these people are all our house slaves, there will be no problem." Shang Zhili smiled stupidly: "It's so cold, why go to the cold study to talk?" In this way, we don't have to break the bank, we brought our own food box, why don't we set up a banquet in this hall where the fire is lit, and we can talk while drinking? ”

Shang Zhili asked for Wu Yuanming's consent, but without waiting for Wu Yuanming to nod, the servants he brought had already proposed more than ten vermilion lacquer food boxes, and took out more than 30 colorful and exquisite dishes from them and put them on two square tables, and gave rise to three brass hot pots, namely sauerkraut and hare hot pot, soft-shelled turtle hot pot and chrysanthemum chicken slice hot pot, and set up a charcoal stove to warm two jars of Shaoxing rice wine, put on the dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers, and the movements were so fast and skillful that any servant and maid of Wu Yuanming's family were ashamed. The food box is lined with cotton to keep warm, and the dishes are still steaming hot, and the aroma is overflowing, only in an instant, the fragrance of wine and coriander in the hall is pervasive, and it is salivating. Shang Zhili was a little afraid of Wu Yuanming, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother Shi, please come to the table and try the craftsmanship of the chef in the younger brother's house, if the brother likes it, the younger brother will give it to the younger brother together with the cook." ”

"Thanks, I'm pretty happy with the cook at home." Wu Yuanming was worried that the servants and maids in the house were unreliable, so he dared to recruit outsiders into the house. However, Wu Yuanming was called out of the hot quilt in the middle of the night, and he was really a little hungry, so he happily entered the table. After sitting down, Wu Yuanming said to Monk Geng Xinghe: "Two virtuous brothers, since you insist on talking while eating, then you can call all your subordinates out, and we will discuss major matters." ”

"Brother Shi, don't you need it......?" Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe, who have never left others to serve since they were children, were still a little reluctant, but when they saw Wu Yuanming's eyes bulging, the two immediately waved their hands and said, "Go down, you don't need to serve here." All the servants and maids each bowed down slightly, and walked back from the hall with their backs in broken steps, but the four stunning maids brought by Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe each did not move, and they still snuggled up to the two of them intimately. Wu Yuanming said angrily: "Who are you minions?" Didn't the master tell you to go out, and you didn't have ears? ”

Without waiting for those girls who were frightened by Wu Yuanming to speak, Shang Zhili replied with a smile: "Brother Shi, don't blame, this is what we mean, we have instructed them to serve us no matter what they eat or sleep." The brothers don't have to worry about these weak girls, they all entered the brothers' mansions as virgins, and they are the most reliable. Geng Xinghe also nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Shi, how can you drink without a beautiful woman?" These girls are still passable in singing and dancing, and the world brother must appreciate it. ”

"Enough!" Wu Yuanming was so angry by these two wine-colored people that he slapped the table and roared: "Tell them to get out!" If you don't go out again, I'll let them finish serving all the soldiers in my house and then leave!" The eight beautiful girls were already frightened by Wu Yuanming, and after hearing Wu Yuanming's further threat, they were even more distracted, Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe were also afraid that their beloved maids would really be rewarded by Wu Yuanming to Master Qiu, so they hurriedly drove them out of the hall. A large number of Wu Sangui's guards had already guarded the surroundings of the hall, far away from the servants brought by Geng and Shang.

"Brother, it's not the eldest brother who said you." When only Wu Yuanming, Shang Zhili, and Geng Xinghe were left in the hall, Wu Yuanming explained to the two of them bitterly: "You should always know the story of Mink Chan and Xi Shi, right?" Several of us were left in Beijing by the imperial court, and on the surface we were all hostages controlled by the imperial court, and our words and deeds were monitored at all times, and if we were not careful, we would be killed at any time, do you understand this? ”

"Our Shang family and Geng family are loyal to the court, and they are not always against the court like your Wu family, so there will be a fatal disaster?" Shang Zhili was quite unconvinced in his heart, but he was even more cowardly than the original Wu Yingxiong, and he didn't dare to collide with the fierce and vicious Wu Yuanming, but he nodded with Geng Xinghe, as if he regarded Wu Yuanming's words as a golden rule. Fortunately, Wu Yuanming is not a nagging person, so he stopped talking after teaching them a few words casually, and asked: "Two virtuous brothers, the tribute convoy of your two families will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, right?" Who is leading the group? Why is it so late? ”

"My family is my cousin Geng Jimei, and Brother Shang's family is his second brother Shang Zhizhi." Geng Xinghe replied respectfully. Shang Zhili added: "Our two tribute teams went to Beijing by the same road, because my second brother Shang Zhizhi was sick and delayed for a few days on the road, so he came late, and he also connected with the Jingnan King team who traveled with my family. ”

"I see." Wu Yuanming nodded, but Wu Yuanming didn't believe these two straw bales when he was killed, Yao Qisheng and Liu Xuanchu had already analyzed the reason why Geng Shang's two families were late - deliberately let Wu Sangui's team advance to Beijing as the first bird, and then the two families chose whether to fall to the imperial court or follow Wu Sangui's footsteps according to the situation. Thinking of Yao Qisheng, Wu Yuanming hurriedly added, "Brother Geng, after your family's tribute convoy enters Beijing, Brother Fool doesn't want anything else, can you send dozens of catties of the best Tieguanyin to Brother Fool?" ”

"No problem, the foolish brother must pick up the best Tieguanyin and send a hundred catties to the world brother." Asking for tea was a trivial matter, but Geng Xinghe patted his chest and agreed without thinking about it. Yao Qisheng, who eavesdropped on the conversation of several people in the back hall, was fond of tea, and he was quite comfortable in his heart, saying that this godson was quite filial.

After a few more polite words and a few glasses of warm rice wine, the topic finally turned to the issue of military salary, Geng Xinghe said boldly: "Brother Shi, this time the court also gave a decree to our brothers, let us two replace our father and brother to meet long live, and discuss the amount of Kangxi's military salary for eight years." The military salary of the Yunnan-Guizhou garrison is insufficient, which led to the mutiny of the soldiers and the attack on Sichuan, and we also know about it. The two of us came to see Brother Shi this time, just to inquire about how much military salary Brother Shi was going to ask for from the imperial court, and we brothers could discuss how much silver they wanted. ”

Of course, Wu Yuanming refused to leak his hole cards to these two unreliable playboys, and asked: "Then how much silver are you two going to ask the imperial court?" Geng Xinghe glanced at each other first, and then said bluntly: "Silver, of course, the more the better, but Fujian and Guangdong are more expensive than Yunnan in terms of salt, tea and grain production, and the military salaries demanded by our two families naturally dare not be compared with Yunnan." So the two of us discussed, according to eighty percent of the amount of military salaries demanded in Yunnan, and opened to the imperial court. ”

"Want to make an 80% price for my family? Kill you! Besides, Xiao Mazi can't take out so much silver. Wu Yuanming snorted coldly in his heart. Shang Zhili said again: "Brother Shi, don't hide it, tell us how much military salary your family is going to have, and the two of us can write a chapter for the imperial court." ”

"Ahem." Yao Qisheng's slight cough came from the back hall, in fact, even if Yao Qisheng didn't remind Wu Yuanming, he wouldn't be fooled - after all, the beautiful maids that Wu Yuanming's two uncles hugged were all given to them by Kangxi. Wu Yuanming shook his head very dryly and refused: "Two virtuous brothers, I want to say sorry to you for this matter, because my brother doesn't know how much military salary our Wu family has to ask for from the imperial court." The amount of military salary demanded by our Wu family was written in a letter from my father, and that letter is currently in the hands of Mr. Liu Xuanchu, the military advisor, and the military adviser will not hand over the letter to me until the moment before the court. ”

"Then can the world brother invite Mr. Liu out and let the brothers ask him for advice?" Geng Xinghe didn't give up yet, and continued to plead with Wu Yuanming. Wu Yuanming resolutely shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, because the foolish brother was kidnapped by the thieves of Muwangfu last night, Liu Junshi didn't sleep all night in order to arrange the rescue of his brother, and his body is not very good and he is tired and sick, and now my brother can't bother him anyway." When he said this, Wu Yuanming deliberately touched his chest, as if he was hiding something in his chest. Of course, Wu Yuanming's seemingly unintentional action was naturally seen by Geng Xinghe's monk gifts......

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

Geng Xinghe's gift of monk is indeed not the material for playing dirty conspiracy, Wu Yuanming has already refused on the grounds that Liu Xuanchu is sick, the two of them have not changed their strategy, and used other means to inquire about what they need, and they are still chattering about asking to meet Liu Xuanchu who is 'holding a secret letter', and in their words, the two also showed disdain for Liu Xuanchu, thinking that Liu Xuanchu is just a staff member of the Wu family, and the master has an order, Liu Xuanchu has to get up from bed even if he is about to die. Wu Yuanming, who had aroused great respect for Liu Xuanchu, was furious and almost had a seizure on the spot.

"The two virtuous brothers use the dishes first, and it is convenient for the brothers to go." In order not to make himself mad and beat people on the spot, Wu Yuanming gave up his hand slightly and left the hall with urine, first, to change the fresh air, and secondly, to deliberately cold these two pampered playboys since childhood, so that they couldn't stay and automatically quit. The two playboys really didn't know Wu Yuanming's intentions, and stayed in the hall to wait after being polite.

The snow is still falling, the weather is still so cold, taking a long breath of the fresh and cold snowy night air, Wu Yuanming was disturbed by Geng Xinghe's monk gift and woke up in a confused head, couldn't help humming a lewd tune, and walked quickly to the thatched house, behind which more than 20 Wu Sangui's personal soldiers followed to protect. After humming a song "Yamei Butterfly", the inventory was already gone, but Wu Yuanming was not in a hurry to return to the hall, but slowly tiptoed towards the West Courtyard, which was still lit by candlelight, ready to peek at Mu Meng's current injuries who lived in the West Courtyard, and pass the time by the way.

"Who?" When he was about to enter the West Courtyard, someone in the Wu Sangui guards behind Wu Yuanming suddenly shouted, and in an instant, Wu Sangui's guards pulled out their weapons one after another, turned their backs to Wu Yuanming and protected Wu Yuanming in the middle. Immediately afterwards, two nervous and deliberately suppressed voices came, "Shizi, please don't get me wrong, we are the people of King Jingnan and King Pingnan. ”

By the light of the lanterns in the hands of the guards, Wu Yuanming looked fixedly, and saw two servant-looking men coming out of the flowers, Wu Yuanming's memory was good, and he immediately recognized that these two people were the servants brought by Geng Xinghe's monk Zhili, and they had met Wu Yuanming in the hall. The two knelt down on one knee and saluted, and whispered together: "The villains Geng Yingwen and Shang Wenling, on the orders of King Jingnan and King Pingnan, ask to see the prince of Pingxi, and a letter will be sent." ”

Wu Yuanming took the two letters and opened them in turn, and saw that the letters were written to himself by Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan and the eldest son of Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and the seals of the two were also stamped with the seals of the two, the letter to the effect that the younger brother of the two of them was cowardly by nature, and he was greedy for wine and lust and was difficult to become a big deal, and he was afraid that he would be co-opted and bought by the imperial court. Regarding the matter of urging military salaries, please Wu Yuanming must discuss with Geng Jimei and Monk Zhizhi, and not let Geng Xinghe know about Monk Zhizhi.

When Wu Yuanming read the letter, Geng Yingwen, an agent sent by Geng Jingzhong in Beijing, asked himself and introduced: "Forgive me, because there are many eyes and ears in the imperial court, and the true identities of the two of us, even the two little masters don't know." So we didn't dare to identify ourselves to the prince just now, and we didn't have the opportunity to send the letter to the prince until now. Shang Zhixin's spy Shang Wenling next to him also said: "We have been lurking in Beijing for a long time, in order to secretly protect the little master, and we usually dare not contact the prince without an order, please check this point." ”

"You have worked hard, the spies of the imperial court are really powerful, and it is great that you can hide to this point." Wu Yuanming nodded and said. Wu Yuanming knew that he also had the secret agents sent by his father to protect him - although most of them had been killed by Hu Gongshan and his gang, so he did not doubt the identity of Geng Yingwen and Shang Wenling. Geng Yingwen clenched his fists and replied: "Xie Shizi praises, Shizi, the few maids around our little master are all given by the emperor, and they are very unreliable!" Please don't tell our little master about the military salary, lest they inadvertently leak their mouths. ”

"Of course I do." Wu Yuanming replied with a smile: "You tell your respective masters, let them put their hearts in their stomachs, I didn't say anything to your little masters." ”

"The villain obeys." Geng Yingwen and Shang Wenling replied with their fists clasped at the same time. Geng Yingwen, who was kneeling on one knee, raised his head again and said: "The villain still has something to tell the prince, our prince and the prince have already issued an order to Lord Geng Jimei and Lord Shang Zhizhi, and they will do their best to assist the prince in the court to ask for more military salaries from the court, and our two families will also follow with some light, please rest assured." ”

"That's great, please thank your prince and prince for me." Wu Yuanming was overjoyed, and said in his heart that with the gratifying support of Monk Geng Jingzhong, he would have a few more chances of winning in the court. Geng Yingwen hugged his fists and said yes, and said: "Shizi, there is still something for the prince of my family, please ask Shizi, how much military salary is Shizi going to ask the court?" What is the minimum floor for King Pingxi? Please inform the prince of my family, and the prince should prepare the chapter in advance to cooperate with the prince in the court. ”

"That's what my eldest son means." Shang Wenling also said: "Please send a letter to us to repair the book, and we will send it to Geng Jimei and Shang Zhizhi on a fast horse tomorrow, so that they can refer to it." ”

"You don't need to fix the book, just send a message." Wu Yuanming said in his heart, the black light is blind, where to find pen, ink, paper, inkstone? He whispered, "Tell your master that the minimum limit for my father is five ....... ”

"Slow down!" Wu Yuanming was just about to say Wu Sangui's minimum limit, Yao Qisheng's voice suddenly came from the darkness again, Wu Yuanming turned his head in shock, and saw two dead wind lamps tearing off the black cloth cover to reveal the light, and under the faint light, four Wu Sangui guard soldiers walked out of the darkness with Yao Qisheng in their arms. Yao Qisheng's cloudy old eyes shone brightly, and he shouted to Wu Yuanming: "Child, show those two letters to your father." At the same time, Yao Qisheng waved his hand, and the four Wu Sangui guards beside him immediately rushed up and held Geng Yingwen and Shang Wenling down.

"Father-in-law, what do you see?" It was only at this moment that Wu Yuanming realized that he was a little careless just now, and hurriedly handed the letter written by Geng Jingzhong to himself to Yao Qisheng, Yao Qisheng had the ability to look at ten elements at a glance, and sneered after only two glances at the light, "Okay, what a powerful plan." ”

"Father-in-law, are they fake?" Wu Yuanming was taken aback, and hurriedly pointed to Geng Yingwen and Shang Wenling and asked Yao Qisheng. Yao Qisheng glanced at Wu Yuanming and scolded in a low voice: "Idiot, don't you understand? The imperial court first used Geng Xinghe's monk gift to confuse you, making you mistakenly think that the imperial court wanted to use their mouths to trick out the military salary figures that Yunnan really needed. But the imperial court also knew that you, a fool, would not believe in the two wastes of Geng Xinghe's monk gifts, so they let people pretend to be Geng Jingzhong's monk Zhixin's detectives to contact you and let you, a fool, confide the truth. ”

"It's ......." Suddenly, Wu Yuanming's whole body broke out in a cold sweat, but Wu Yuanming was still a little puzzled, and asked again: "Father-in-law, how did you see it?" Without waiting for Yao Qisheng to answer, Geng Yingwen and Shang Wenling all shouted, "Wronged, Shizi, we are really the subordinates of King Jingnan and King Pingnan." ”

"Wronged you? Well, I'll let Hanako make you die clearly. Yao Qisheng sneered and spit out a string of strange words to Geng Yingwen, "Oh, will we be a mouthful?" Nothing you can do with me, what about our mother tongue? ”

"Hokkien?!" In the 21st century, Wu Yuanming heard such a language on Fujian TV, although he couldn't understand what Yao Qisheng said, but he knew that it was Fujian's Hokkien language. And Geng Yingwen was full of confusion, and said suspiciously: "Old man, what are you talking about?" ”

"Aren't you a subordinate of Geng Jingzhong in Fujian? Why can't I understand Hokkien in Fujian? Yao Qisheng, a native of Fujian, sneered again and waved his hand: "Cut off their heads!" Without waiting for Geng Yingwen and Shang Wenling to say anything, the thunderous and well-trained Wu Sangui guards pounced on the two and cut off their heads.

"Send these two heads to the Shuntian Mansion, and say that they are the thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they pretended to be servants to enter the mansion to assassinate the prince of Pingxi and were killed by you." Yao Qisheng snorted coldly and made Xiaozhuang suffer a dumb loss, and then took the two fake letters and reprimanded the stunned Wu Yuanming: "Idiot, Geng Jingzhong's letter is far away in Fujian and Guangdong, how can he know so quickly that the imperial court asked you to discuss military salaries on behalf of your father?" I can't see such a simple flaw, it's really stupid. ”
