"Great Chengguan brothers, where have you gone?" Wu Yuanming shouted silently in his heart, poked his head out of the carriage that was forced to stop again, and looked at the dense stalls on both sides of the street and the bustling flow of people on the street with a sad face. And those small merchants and vendors who are running for three meals a day in the snowy New Year don't care about Wu Yuanming's mood, but just keep shouting rhythmically to attract customers, "Bean juice~!" Coke Circle~! "Hot steamed buns just out of the cage~!" "Chinese cabbage~!" "Sugar gourd~!" From time to time, some refugees who fled to Beijing because of the enclosure came to Wu Yuanming's car, "The master is good, reward two dollars, my family in Chengde was encircled by Huangzhuang to build a hunting ground, the family is old, the lower is young, there is no way." ”

"Go, go, go." Wu Yuanming, who was angry, just wanted to rudely drive away the beggar, but a small white and tender hand stretched out next to him, and put a small piece of broken silver into the beggar's hand. Wu Yuanming pouted and said: "Red Peony, it's not that this son is stingy, so you say that the flower son who fled to Beijing in this enclosure has not 100,000 but 80,000, how much did you give?" How many were saved? ”

"How much can I save." Hong Shao wiped away a handful of sympathetic tears and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, there was a letter from the family, and the land of the slave maid's house was also circled, and all the people in the tunzi were driven out by the official of the Zhenghuang Banner, and the houses were all burned down by a fire, and the people in the tunzi really don't know how to live." ”

"Aren't you from the Han Army? Why was it also circled? Wu Yuanming felt regretful as soon as he asked this sentence, don't say that you are the Han Army Banner when enclosing the land, it is the land full of eight banners, and those enclosure uncles who have Aobai as a backer are also correct in the circle, and after the fall of Aobai in history, although Kangxi ordered to stop enclosing the land, not an inch of the land that was snatched away was not returned to the original owner, and it was still owned by the Eight Banners and Huangzhuang. Come to think of it. Wu Yuanming hurriedly changed his words and said: "Red Peony, since your parents have lost their land, let them come to Beijing, and this son will arrange for them to go to Yunnan after a while." ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the prince, the slave and maid have it." Hong Shao's expression was a little strange, and she said in a hurry: "The slave maid's family still has a relative in Rehe, and the slave's parents and brothers have already defected to their relatives, and they ...... They're doing well over there. ”

"That's fine." Wu Yuanming glanced at Hongshao and said casually: "If your parents and relatives are not used to living outside, just say to this son that you can come to live in the house at any time." After you go back, you find Wu Fuzhi to give you a hundred taels of silver to bring it to your family, and count it as the reward of the prince. ”

"Thank you, Shizi." Red Peony agreed in a low voice, her expression a little complicated. At this time, there was a commotion around the carriage where Wu Yuanming was riding, and countless tattered flowers came out of the crowd, and men and women, old and young, were covered with tents one by one, stretching out their scorched black palms that were either thin or tender or full of calluses, and rushed to shout: "Master, madam, okay, my family of five has not eaten for three days." "Sir, madam, have pity on my son, he is dying of hunger." "Master, dare to ask the house if you want to buy a maid? I have two daughters, one thirteen and one twelve, and I just need to give them a bite to eat, and I don't need money. "Master, madam, the old body has kowtowed to you."

"Red peony, do you see it?" Wu Yuanming sighed, and said to the bustling group of beggars outside the car, "This Shizi just said that there are at least 100,000 beggars in this Beijing city, can you give alms one by one?" Don't talk about you, even the son of this world doesn't have so much silver. ”

"Shizi, Red Peony knows that it is wrong." Red Peony was also frightened by the formation of these called Huazi, Wu Yuanming shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Forget it, it's useless to blame you, besides, you are also doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, let's think about how to get rid of these called Huazi now." It is easy to drive people away, but Wu Yuanming still feels that his scalp is numb when he sees the dense crowd of flowers outside the car, and he said that there are two brothers Wu Lu and Wu Xi around him, how can so many beggars rush away? However, Wu Yuanming is Wu Yuanming after all, and he has already taken it into account with a frown.

"Folks, folks." Wu Yuanming stood out of the carriage, waved his hand at the group of beggars and shouted: "I know that you are hungry, and I also know that you want some money to support your family, and Master Ben wants to save you, but today Master Ben is in a hurry and doesn't bring much money." But this master really can't bear to see you endure cold and hunger, so let's do it, this master will show you a way to live, as long as you do what this master instructs, and keep you with food and clothes to wear. ”

"Master, what do you show us the way to live? We'll do what you tell us to do! The hungry and crazy Huazi shouted one after another, scrambling to get close to Wu Yuanming, for fear of missing a word. Wu Yuanming pointed to the direction of Desheng Gate in the distance and shouted: "Folks, you all listen, in Cuihua Street outside Desheng Gate, there lives a Wei Dongting Wei Lord, this Wei Lord is the forward leader of the good fighting camp, his mother Sun Mama is the nurse who is now long lived, the family has gold and silver mountains, the grain is just not crowded out of the warehouse, and he likes to accumulate good deeds on weekdays. Yesterday, I heard that he was going to open a porridge field at home today, to give porridge to the refugees who had fled to Beijing, and before he went to receive the porridge, 5,000 people would each have a tael of silver in good money! Don't miss this opportunity, you won't have the money to get it if you're late! ”

"Remember, Cuihua Street outside Desheng Gate! Wei Dongting Wei Daren! Went to get rich! There is porridge to drink! With Wu Yuanming's hoarse shout, countless hungry and crazy Huazi suddenly shouted, and the tide rushed to the direction of Desheng Gate, and they ran clean in the blink of an eye, and they also overturned countless stalls along the way, and the street was suddenly in a mess. Wu Yuanming sat back in the carriage in a big way, clapped his hands and said, "Finish the work, go quickly, if you are surrounded by Huazi again, it will be troublesome." ”

"Yes." Because they were beaten by Wei Dongting and others in the morning, Wu Lu and Wu Xi did not feel disgusted by Wu Yuanming's shameless words and deeds, but gloated a little. Secretly admiring Wu Yuanming's cunning and cunning, the two brothers hurriedly whipped and urged the horse to leave. Who knew that before the carriage had taken two steps, a clear voice came from the side of the road, "This master is also shameless, even if he is reluctant to give alms to the refugees, he still coaxes these poor people to call Hanako to run in vain, rejoice in the air, and are not afraid of going to hell after death?" ”

"Yo ho, a rabbit has popped up from the flock." Wu Yuanming sneered and turned his head to look, and saw that it was a young scholar dressed in cyan Rushan, who was about eighteen or nine years old, with very delicate eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, and extremely white, although his clothes were thin and shabby, standing on the side of the cold and biting street, he didn't even shiver, but just glared at Wu Yuanming angrily. Wu Yuanming sneered: "Poor Xiucai, what's your name?" Where are the people? There is a kind of report to the name, and the master will take care of you. ”

"Li Yuliang, a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi, how do you call this master?" The poor scholar Li Yuliang was not afraid of Wu Yuanming at all, and asked Wu Yuanming coldly. Who knew that Wu Yuanming's next action made Li Yuliang stunned on the spot - Wu Yuanming vulgarly compared a middle finger to Li Yuliang, and said disdainfully: "I'm bah!" Ye still thought that your surname was Chen Jinnan, or your surname was Chen Yonghua, then Ye might give you three points! Li Yuliang? How far to the master, how far to roll, next time to offend the master, be careful that the master wants your head! After speaking, Wu Yuanming sat back in the car and shouted, "Let's go, don't pay attention to this nerd." ”

"Stop." Li Yuliang was already standing in front of the carriage in a flash, holding down the carriage with one hand, and the carriage that had already started was nailed to the spot like a nail, and he could no longer take a step forward. Then Li Yuliang shouted: "Don't go, I asked your name just now, but you haven't answered yet!" Also, if you don't give me an explanation for the deception of the refugees just now, you won't be able to spare you! ”

"Damn, it's really evil today, why do you keep bumping into powerful people?" Wu Yuanming secretly complained in his heart, of course Wu Yuanming knew who Li Yuliang was - the only junior sister of Hu Gongshan, the first master of the palace! Authentic Emei faction master! One can beat Wu Yuanming at least ten! Just now, Wu Yuanming wanted to gag and fool around, but who knew that Li Yuliang would not give up, and he would teach Wu Yuanming, who deceived refugees, a lesson for everything, which made Wu Yuanming lose his mind.

"Say, Who are you? Why deceive refugees? Then Li Yuliang saw that Wu Yuanming didn't answer but just rolled his eyes, so he asked again. is still the same sentence, Wu Yuanming is always Wu Yuanming, and in the blink of an eye, a ghost idea of cutting off children and grandchildren came out, Wu Yuanming waved his hand to stop Wu Lu, Wu Xi, Hongshao and others from talking, and said in a nervous voice: "Stop, this adult is a top-secret emperor, and he was ordered to secretly contact Hu Gongshan, the number one master in the world, and delayed his official business, be careful of your head." ”

"Hu Gongshan? Are you going to see Hu Gongshan? Li Yuliang was really fooled, and immediately let go of the car, Wu Yuanming looked surprised, and asked in surprise: "This gentleman, you also know Hu Gongshan Imperial Doctor Hu?" "That Hu Gongshan's public identity in the capital is the sixth grade doctor of the Tai Hospital, which Wu Yuanming also knows. And Li Yuliang replied with a happy face: "Of course I know, he is my senior brother." ”

"Oops." Wu Yuanming clapped his palms in surprise and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Then Li Yuliang also said embarrassedly: "This gentleman, I'm really sorry, Xiaosheng was too rude just now." ”

"Since Brother Li Yuliang is the junior brother of Master Hu, then we must have a drink another day, now that Brother Yu is on the emperor's errand, I can't accompany him for a long time, I'm really sorry." Wu Yuanming saw that Li Yuliang had stabilized, and hurriedly tried to slip away. But Li Yuliang refused to let go of Wu Yuanming, hugged his fists and said: "This brother, Yuliang came to Beijing to look for his senior brother, but the senior brother is in the palace Yuliang can't go in, since the brother is going to see my senior brother, the younger brother wants to go with the brother, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"This ...... This one....... Wu Yuanming felt a big headache and said vaguely: "Brother Yuliang, it's not that Brother Yu Liang refuses to take you there, it's just that Brother Yu is doing a top-secret errand, and it will be a matter of time if he can meet Senior Brother Ling for a while." As you know, we are in top secret contact, but the location can be contacted, so it's hard to say when it's time. ”

"It's okay, I can wait." Li Yuliang replied cheerfully; "As long as you can wait for senior brother when you get to the place, it doesn't matter if Yuliang waits for three or five days."

"I'm related!" Wu Yuanming yelled in his heart, but Wu Yuanming knew that if he dragged it any longer, he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of this genuine tigress, so he had to nod with a forced smile: "Okay, Brother Yuliang, please get in the car, the meeting place happens to be at Brother Yu's house, Brother Xian doesn't think Brother Yu's family is poor and inconsiderate." ”

"Little brother, that dare." That Li Yuliang was very refreshing, saying that he jumped into the carriage by himself when he got into the car, and the carriage was too small to seat five people, and he squeezed Wu Xi down and led the horse. As a result, a well-known tigress got into Wu Yuanming's carriage, which became a powerful explosion around Wu Yuanming from time to time. And Wu Yuanming smirked on his face, but he was thinking viciously in his heart, "Damn, when you get to my house, Lao Tzu will poison your wine and poison you, a fierce tigress!" ”

When the carriage was heading towards Wu's mansion, Li Yuliang, who had a bold personality, asked Wu Yuanming, "Big brother, why did you deceive those refugees just now?" They have fallen to this point, all because they were encircled by the old thief, it is pitiful enough, why do you still lie to them? ”

"Who said I lied to them?" Wu Yuanming quietly gave Wu Lu, Wu Xi and the others a look to shut them up, and said stubbornly: "Brother Xian, you misunderstood, that Lord Wei Dongting Wei is the first confidant in front of Wan Sui today, Wan Sui Ye knows the suffering of the people, so he secretly allocated a sum of money to Lord Wei to help the victims. The eldest brother asked those refugees to find Master Wei, really to save them. ”

"So that's the case, the younger brother misunderstood the eldest brother again." Li Yuliang's face was full of apologies, and he blinked his clear and beautiful big eyes, and said sincerely: "Big brother, you are really a good person. ”

"Of course." Wu Yuanming replied without blushing: "I am loyal and kind, so I am often called Wu Honest." ”

"Big brother, your surname is Wu? Koutian Wu? Li Yuliang asked. Wu Yuanming nodded and replied: "Yes, Koutian Wu, that is, the famous general Wu Qi, the Wu Guang who overthrew the tyrannical Qin, and the Wu who painted the saint Wu Daozi." ”

"Brother Wu, then what's your name?" Li Yuliang finally asked Wu Yuanming the question that he couldn't answer the most, but fortunately, Wu Lu relieved Wu Yuanming, and Wu Lu suddenly exclaimed: "Master, why are there so many soldiers in our alley?" Wu Yuanming looked up and saw that Shihu Hutong was really full of heavily armed Qing soldiers, in addition to several carriages and a prisoner car, when Wu Yuanming looked at those soldiers carefully, he was surprised to find that these soldiers were all deployed by Aobai, and many of them were Aobai's own soldiers!

"Could it be that Ao Bai is coming? What did he come to do? Wu Yuanming wondered in his heart, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and went over. Just as Wu Yuanming expected, after getting the news of Wu Yuanming's homecoming, Ao Bai, whose face was covered with paw prints and blood, really got out of the largest carriage and shouted to Wu Yuanming with an affectionate face: "Virtuous nephew, why are you only coming back now?" ”

"Uncle, the little nephew went to arrest the traitor Liu Hua according to your orders, so I delayed for a while." Wu Yuanming replied in confusion, getting closer, Wu Yuanming suddenly saw that the scars on Ao Bai's face were all scratched by his nails, and he immediately understood the reason in his heart - the old man who was afraid of his wife must have been beaten by his wife again. Wu Yuanming asked suspiciously: "Uncle, why did you suddenly come to the cold house, didn't Liu Hua be escorted back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by his uncle's personal soldiers?" ”

"Escorted back, the old man has already cut off his head himself." Ao Bai replied, then took Wu Yuanming's hand and said affectionately: "Virtuous nephew, uncle has a trivial matter to trouble you, you must not refuse." ”

"What does Uncle command?" A bad premonition rose in Wu Yuanming's heart. But Ao Bai's next words made Wu Yuanming almost faint, "Virtuous nephew, uncle wants to lock Shi Jianmei in your mansion, set a trap in your mansion, and trap those thieves who rescued Shi Jianmei." ”

"What? Lock Shi Jianmei up with me? Wu Yuanming was completely dumbfounded, he offered a plan to Ao Bai to use Shi Jianmei as bait to trap Wei Dongting and others, originally wanting to use Ao Bai's hand to avenge himself, and by the way, weaken Kangxi's strength and let the Qing court continue to be chaotic. But now that Shi Jianmei is locked up in his own house, isn't it equivalent to luring a large group of Kangxi's killers to his own home? There is also a tigress Li Yuliang on this carriage who did not solve it, and sent another tigress Shi Jianmei, these two tigresses launched Weilai together, can they still have a little bone residue left?
