Chapter 23: Distress in Prison (I)

"His Majesty, the governor of Sichuan, Zheng Jiaolin, tears of His Majesty, the third day of December in the seventh year of Kangxi, the king of Pingxi, Wu Sangui, the Renhuai garrison of more than 3,000 cavalry infantry, crossed the Chishui River and invaded Luzhou Mansion, the defenders of Luzhou were outnumbered and defeated by the Wu army, Sun Zhong, the prefect of Luzhou, was martyred, and the remnants of the army were transferred to Neijiang by the general Ming Ji, and after the Wu soldiers entered the city, they plundered the money and grain of the Luzhou official treasury and the people's treasury, and forcibly occupied the city of Luzhou, and the military disaster affected Neijiang, Chongqing and other places. According to the report of Tanma, the Yanjin garrison of the Wu army also appeared to be ready to move, and Xuyong, Gaoxian, Xingwen, Yibin and other places were in danger. Although the minister is the governor of Sichuan, the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction are uneven, the weapons are not in order, and he is unable to compete with the Wu army. The criminal Zheng Jiaolin kowtowed. The sixth day of December in the seventh year of Kangxi. ”

Probably to reflect the word 'tears', there are still a few very clear traces of tears on the fold of this Zheng Jiaolin and Admiral Zheng, which happened to fall below the inscription, which is easy to remind people of the mood of this Admiral Zheng when he wrote this fold - but Wu Yuanming's mood is definitely more sad than him when he is watching this fold. Thanks to the blessing of the eldest uncle, Wu Yuanming had a chance to see this top-secret recital that was directly sent to the military department, but after reading this recital, in addition to the roar of Aobai, Wu Yuanming's ears were only left with the sound of shackles in the prison.

"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish!" In Mulima's study, Ao Bai slapped the table and smashed the bench and scolded: "Mingji waste! Zheng Jiaolin waste! It's all a bunch of idiots, just like that, just lost Luzhou? Lao Tzu's favorite Luzhou Laojiao, this time it has become the foot washing water of those stinky hills! ”

"Big brother, Mingji has few people, there are more than 3,000 of those chaotic troops, and you can't blame him for losing Luzhou." Mulima said cautiously. It's not that Mulima is speaking fairly for Mingji, but that Mingju was originally an old subordinate of Jingxi General Mulima and was personally promoted by Mulima, and Mulima was afraid that his eldest brother would investigate his mistakes. But Mulima didn't say that it was okay, but when he said it, he drew Aobai's anger on him, and Aobai pointed at his nose and scolded: "Do you know how many people are under Mingji? Tell you, eight battalions! Four thousand! And two battalions of a thousand people are cavalry! Because Luzhou is located at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, I gave Ming Ji 4,000 green battalion soldiers! And he said that there were 3,000 rebels, did you really believe it? At least half of the water! 4,000 people can't fight 1,000 and 5 chaotic soldiers, he really leads good soldiers! ”

"No wonder later generations said that it was because Kangxi fell to worship that my father had the courage to rebel. Now it seems that there is some truth to it. Wu Yuanming secretly admired Aobai's understanding and mastery of the army, Luzhou was just a remote mountain city in this era, but Aobai didn't need to check the records of the Ministry of War, and he could tell the number of soldiers and the composition of the troops there, and Kangxi's military talent alone was far inferior to him.

At this time, after thinking nervously, Ao Bai turned around, patted Wu Yuanming's shoulder and said, "Virtuous nephew, things have come to this point, it seems that you have to go to live in the prison for a few days." Virtuous nephew, don't worry, the prison belongs to the Ministry of Punishment, Tai Bitu is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, uncle will let him take care of you, as long as the matter is clear, uncle will take you out of the prison from the prison. Wu Yuanming knew that things could not be changed, so he had to sigh and said: "Alas, it is really a person who sits at home, and disaster comes from the sky, so there is Uncle Lao." ”

"I was ordered to capture Wu Yingxiong, the son of the king of Pingxi, and everyone avoided it." Before Wu Yuanming's words fell, a loud shout came from outside the door of the study, the door was pushed open, and the new commander of the forward battalion, Tong Guowei, appeared in front of the door of the study with thirty soldiers. Tong Guowei bowed to Ao Bai and said: "I have seen Ao Xiang, and the slave Tong Guowei arrested Wu Yingxiong, the son of the king of Pingxi, on the order of Long Live Today. ”

"So fast?" Ao Bai and Ban Bushan glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that before the recital of Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan, was handed over, Kang Xiaosan was in a hurry to catch Wu Yingxiong, it seems that Kang Xiaosan hated Wu Yingxiong more than a little. At this time, Wu Yuanming suddenly hugged his fists to Ao Bai and said: "Uncle, the matter has come to this point, my father has done his best, and the rest depends on how my uncle acts." After that, Wu Yuanming shook off his braids, laughed and strode out of the study, "Hahahaha, I've grown so big, I've basically been to everything, but I haven't been to this prison yet, and I just happened to see it today." ”

"Wu Sangui has done his best? What do you mean? Ao Bai was confused by Wu Yuanming's words, but the old slippery head Ao Bai immediately understood that Wu Yingxiong's little slippery head was telling Kangxi through Tong Guowei's mouth - the Yungui mutiny was Wu Sangui's action in order to cooperate with Ao Bai to seize the palace and usurp the government, forcing Kangxi to consider the consequences of killing him. At the same time, Wu Yingxiong was also warning himself that Wu Sangui had already taken action, and if he wanted to get further support from Wu Sangui, he could not cross the river and demolish the bridge to abandon him......

"Shizi, Shizi, Shizi......!" When Wu Yuanming was stripped of his official uniform and put on a wooden flail outside Mulima's house and escorted to the prisoner car, the three brothers Wu Lu, Wu Shou and Wu Xi, who heard the news, cried and pounced on him and wanted to pull him, but they were stopped by the people brought by Tong Guowei on the periphery, and they could only cry outside the circle, "Shizi, why were you arrested?" What do you want us to do? ”

"Haha." Wu Yuanming stepped into the prisoner car in a big way, and turned his head to the three brothers of the Wu family and smiled: "What else can I do?" Go back and comfort your father so that he doesn't worry about me, and then prepare food to bring me food to the prison, and then go home and sleep with his wife, do you still want me to teach you these things? ”

"Yes...... But what about you? Wu Lu cried and said, "Shizi, what are you doing in the prison? If those prison bullies bully you, and we don't have us, then the people who come will help you? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Yuanming's face was relaxed, and he whistled and said: "As the son of this world, I naturally enjoy the treatment of a single room in the prison, so I should rest for two days - it just so happens that I have almost squeezed out the red peony and Shi Jianmei in the past few days." ”

"The prince ......." When the three Wu Lu brothers were crying and wanted to say something, the prisoner car holding Wu Yuanming had already left surrounded by the soldiers of the forward battalion, and only Wu Yuanming's shout was left on the long street, "Take care of your father, he is old and in poor health, be careful not to have an accident." The family's money is arranged by your father and son at will, eat when you should eat, wear when you should wear, don't treat yourself ...... badly. Wu Yuanming's shouts that seemed to be his mother-in-law made the three brothers cry to death, and also made Tong Guowei, including the arrest of Wu Yuanming, secretly admire, saying that Wu Yingxiong's courage and bearing are really not small.

Under the eyes of the onlookers on both sides of the street, the prisoner car walked along the street for about a few pillars of incense, and when it turned a fork in the road, Wu Yuanming suddenly found that the direction was wrong, and hurriedly shouted to Tong Guowei: "Lord Tong, to go to the prison of the Criminal Department is to take the road on the left, why did you take me to the right?" ”

"This year, a large number of prisoners have been escorted to Beijing from various places, and the prison of the Criminal Department is already full." Tong Guowei replied with a straight face: "Therefore, the Holy Lord has a special decree to temporarily lock you up in the Shuntianfu Prison, and wait until the Heavenly Prison vacates the place, and then let you live there." ”

"Kang Mazi is finally going to kill me." Until this moment, there was cold sweat oozing from Wu Yuanming's head. Wu Yuanming had already guessed Kangxi's intentions, if Wu Yuanming was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, first, the Criminal Department was basically controlled by Aobai, and Wu Yuanming basically couldn't suffer much when he got there; The second is that it is not easy to send Jianghu killers to assassinate Wu Yuanming in the heavily guarded prison of the Criminal Department, and even if it is successful, it will be a great blow to the face of the imperial court. However, there are no such problems in imprisoning Wu Yuanming in the Shuntianfu Prison, and it is easy to kill people in the Shuntianfu Prison, which is only guarded by ordinary officers, and the Shuntianfu Yin can be used as a scapegoat afterwards.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuanming couldn't help but burst into tears, looked up to the sky and sighed: "God! Is tonight the time for my death? I should respect heaven and earth, be filial to my parents, love the people like a son, love the country and my family, adhere to principles, act strictly in accordance with the law, never care about personal gains and losses, be enthusiastic about my own duties, and work diligently and steadfastly! It is best to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in life! Never do things that lack morality without conscience, let alone hurt nature and lose conscience. God, why are you doing this to me?! ”

Knowing that the time limit had come, Wu Yuanming shamelessly felt sorry for himself in the car, but the people next to him were very happy and applauded, "See? That is Wu Sangui's eldest son, Wu Yingxiong, who is finally going to be killed! "Well killed, retribution!" "The sky has eyes." All kinds of schadenfreude are also bad for the drivers of the 21st century.

Wailing all the way, tears all the way, after passing through half of Beijing City, the prisoner car escorting Wu Yuanming finally arrived in front of the Shuntianfu prison, the time was already unitary, the winter night was long, and the sky was already dark, so Tong Guowei handed over Wu Yuanming to the cell boss and left. And Wu Yuanming, who was in tears, was slipped into a cell with more than 20 prisoners by the cell boss, and the cell boss smiled at Wu Yuanming: "Forgive me, because there are many refugees who have fled into Beijing, and there are many outlaws who are desperate, so our Shuntianfu prison is also full of people, you should always take care of it." ”

"Come on, if you don't say it, I know, you were instructed by someone to deliberately make me suffer, right?" Wu Yuanming sneered and wiped away his tears and strode into the cell. And the cell boss who was said by Wu Yuanming to be at the bottom of the center quickly locked the cell door and slipped away with the other jailers, of course, the cell head who was instructed to make Wu Yuanming suffer more had to instruct the other jailers not to interfere when Wu Yuanming was beaten.

At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and there was only a lone oil lamp hanging on the wall in the rancid and foul-smelling cell, and the soybean-like flames flickered, and the twenty or so fierce prisoners sneered ill-willedly, and slowly outflanked Wu Yuanming. In the 21st century, Wu Yuanming once heard a friend who was a prison guard talk about some prison rules, and immediately took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels from the shoetube and handed them over, "Brothers, everyone has a fate, a little meaning, brothers buy a glass of wine to drink." ”

"You're interested." A prisoner who looked like a prison bully snatched the silver ticket, looked at it at the oil lamp, and immediately smiled on his face, "Yes, it's two hundred taels again." The other prisoners were also smiling, but they did not relax their encirclement of Wu Yuanming.

"Two hundred taels again?" Wu Yuanming immediately heard the voice of the prison tyrant, and knew that someone had already done something in this cell in advance - he used two hundred taels of silver to buy off this group of prisoners to teach him a lesson. Wu Yuanming originally wanted to pay more money to buy this group of prisoners, but he didn't have much money with him, and he was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion instead, but he was afraid that Wu Fu and the others would not be able to find this place for a while, and they would not be able to provide financial support. But this is not difficult for Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming frowned and was calculating, and hugged his fists to this group of prisoners and said: "Brothers, let me introduce myself first, below is the prince of Pingxi, the princess of Heshuo Jianning, and Wu Yingxiong, the official residence is a product of the dynasty." If you are unfortunate today, if you ....... ”

"I know that you are the son of a big traitor, a little traitor." A prisoner folded his sleeves and interrupted Wu Yuanming's temptation gloomily, "Let's tell you the truth, we beat you today, first, by accepting other people's money, and secondly, by venting a bad breath for us Han people." The gentleman who gave us the money has already made it clear, anyway, you don't know who we are, and beat you up, tomorrow we will change the prison number, you just want to seek revenge on us, and you have no chance. ”

"Sir?" Wu Yuanming's eyes rolled again, and at first Wu Yuanming suspected that Li Yuliang did it, but thinking of Li Yuliang's jealous and hateful character, Wu Yuanming felt that with her temper, she should choose to assassinate herself directly, instead of beating herself with a prisoner. Thinking of this, Wu Yuanming's heart flashed, and he secretly said in his heart: "Could it be Wu Ciyou?" With that guy's hypocrisy, it should be quite possible. ”

"Brothers, do it!" Wu Yuanming was secretly pondering, and the prison bully who had just received the money had already rushed forward with a loud roar, and the other prisoners also raised their fists. Wu Yuanming was in a hurry, raised his hands and shouted, "Stop! I have something to say! ”

"That gentleman said, you little traitor is the best at deceiving people, we won't be fooled!" The prison bully yelled and replied, and then before Wu Yuanming could speak more, a sackcloth bag had already covered Wu Yuanming's head, and all the prisoners rushed up, scolding, "Little traitor!" Dog traitor! The fists and feet rained down on Wu Yuanming's head, poor Wu Yuanming began to kill pigs and scream for a while, and then after dozens of punches to his head, he was finally knocked unconscious......
