When Wu Yuanming entered the palace, in addition to bringing the mysterious old army, he also brought Huangfu Baozhu and thirty Wu Sangui guards to accompany him, so after Wu Yuanming was taken off the top ribbon and escorted to the noon gate to wait for beheading, in less than half an hour, the news was sent to Wu Yingxiong's mansion in Shihu Hutong by a fast horse. When the bad news arrived, Liu Xuanchu beat his chest and scolded Wu Yuanming for not knowing how to advance or retreat, not knowing the ability of the eldest husband, and hurriedly rushed to the noon gate with the remaining guards, preparing to make a decision after observing the situation, Yao Qisheng also rarely put away his mean and vicious temper, and rushed to the noon gate with Liu Xuanchu to check the life and death of his godson. In addition to these two old foxes, the four Wu Fu father and son, who are loyal to Wu Sangui's family, are naturally sure to go, and even Mu Shenbao and Mu Meng, brothers and sisters who have a deep hatred for Wu Sangui's family, secretly followed behind, as for whether to prepare to save people or go to the well, only their brothers and sisters know. And Wu Yingxiong's Mansion, which has been lively for many days, is extremely quiet.

"Lao Tzu is really clever, Wu Yingxiong's kennel is really empty." Looking at the empty courtyard of Wu Yingxiong's house, Cao Yin's heart blossomed with joy and swaggered towards Wu Yingxiong's house. However, although the guards of Wu Yingxiong's family rushed to the noon gate, there were still a few servants guarding the door, so as soon as Cao Yin entered the gate of Wu Yingxiong's house, two servants of Wu Yingxiong's family jumped out of the gatehouse and shouted to Cao Yin: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

Cao Yin, who was wearing civilian clothes, smiled slightly, but took off some of his shirts, revealing the yellow coat worn inside and the waist tag of the big inner guard hanging from his waist, the two servants were not Wu Yuanming's henchmen, and hurriedly arched his hand: "It turned out to be the guard in the palace, I don't know what happened to the lord here?" The son of our family has already entered the palace, doesn't the guard know? ”

"I have not come to ask for your son." Cao Yin took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and threw it into the hands of the two servants, and said with a smile: "I came to ask to see Miss Shi Jianmei, who lives here, and I bother you to report it, so I will say that her cousin asked me to send her a letter." ”

"This ......." The two servants were a little hesitant, Shi Jianmei's special status in the Wu Mansion was well known, and no one dared to guarantee what the consequences would be if she met with strangers. Cao Yin saw the worry of the two servants, and sneered: "Your master is waiting to cut off his head at the noon gate, you shouldn't know this, right?" If he dies, and now Beijing is full of Huazi, your new job is hard to find, right? If you are obedient, I guarantee that you will find a new job. ”

As mentioned earlier, the two servants who received Cao Yin were not Wu Yingxiong's henchmen and servants, and they were also worried about Wu Yingxiong's job after his death, they looked at each other and nodded, and hurriedly introduced Cao Yin into the concierge to entertain them, and they were about to rush into the west courtyard to find Shi Jianmei to report, Cao Yin thought about it and said: "Forget it, anyway, Her Royal Highness the princess has returned to live in the palace, and there is nothing inconvenient in the backyard, so I'd better go in and find her directly." "Those two servants are asking Cao Yin, so there is still a reason to refuse? Naturally, he nodded and led the way.

When she arrived at the west wing where Shi Jianmei lived, the door of the room where Shi Jianmei was located was closed and locked from the inside, and the two servants who led the way to Cao Yin whispered: "Lord Guard, Miss Shi locks herself in the room like this every day, almost never leaves the room, eats very little, and our family never enters her room. Cao Yin nodded, knowing that if Shi Jianmei didn't hate Wu Yingxiong to the core, she would definitely not abuse herself like this, but it was okay to ask Shi Jianmei to help kill Wu Yingxiong, and Shi Jianmei would definitely agree. Thinking of this, Cao Yin didn't hesitate any longer, went up and knocked on the door and shouted: "Miss Shi, Miss Shi, please open the door, Cao Yin asks to see you." ”

Cao Yin shouted for a long time, and Shi Jianmei's cold voice came out of the room, "Get out, I don't know any Cao Yin, I don't see anyone." In fact, Shi Jianmei has seen Cao Yin, and it is obvious that Shi Jianmei really doesn't want to see Cao Yin when she says something like this. But Cao Yin was not angry, and said with a smile: "Miss Shi, we met last time at Brother Wei Dongting's house, why did you forget?" There was silence in the room again, and it was only after a while that Shi Jianmei's words with a crying voice came out, "Get out, get out of me!" I don't know anything Wei Dongting! I don't know you either! ”

"Miss Shi, it doesn't matter if you don't know me, I don't know the letter that Brother Wei wrote to you, will you know it?" Cao Yin said politely. As Cao Yin expected, as soon as his words fell, the door of the room opened with a 'bang', and Shi Jianmei, who had not seen him for many days, appeared in front of Cao Yin with a nervous expression. To Cao Yin's surprise, he and Shi Jianmei had not seen each other for more than ten days, Shi Jianmei had lost weight more than once, her beautiful face was full of haggardness, with a sickly flush, and her already tall figure was skinny, and the pretty and lively Shi Jianmei in the past was like two people. Shi Jianmei said in a trembling voice: "Brother Dongting asked you to bring me a letter?" Where is the letter? ”

"There is hope." Seeing that Shi Jianmei was so excited, Cao Yin was secretly happy in his heart, and smiled at Shi Jianmei: "Miss Jianmei, can you let me enter the room to talk?" Shi Jianmei looked at the two servants of the Wu Mansion who were following Cao Yin, and knew that Cao Yin must be trying to avoid them, so she hurriedly took a few steps back to make way in and out of the room, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cao, please come in." As soon as Cao Yin entered the door, Shi Jianmei closed the door with a 'ping-pong' and shut the two servants out.

"Miss Jianmei, time is running out, Brother Wei's letter is here, look at it." Cao Yin took out Wei Dongting's letter and handed it to Shi Jianmei, Shi Jianmei took it tremblingly, opened the letter and took a closer look, Wei Dongting's familiar handwriting appeared in front of her eyes, seeing the once familiar handwriting, Shi Jianmei couldn't help but burst into tears, and the tears instantly blurred her delicate apricot eyes. Cao Yin saw that Shi Jianmei was just crying and refused to read the content of the letter, so he hurriedly urged: "Miss Jianmei, now is not the time to cry, you have the opportunity to take revenge on Wu Yingxiong, you must not miss it." ”

"Yes." Shi Jianmei choked up and agreed, wiped away her tears and looked carefully, only to see the letter read: Cousin Jianmei, don't come unharmed? Hearing Mei Mei's affairs in Wu's Mansion, my brother cried blood day and night, helplessly carrying the emperor's errand, and rescued Mei Mei without a shot, and the foolish brother was ashamed of Mei Mei. The foolish brother knows that Mei Mei hates the Wu Yingxiong dog thief to the bone, but she has no chance to take revenge, and now the opportunity is coming, Wu Yingxiong was escorted to the noon gate to be beheaded, although Wan Sui may not kill Wu Yingxiong and the dog thief, but Shi Jianmei only needs to act according to Cao Yin's plan, and she will definitely take Wu Yingxiong's dog head and take Xue Meimei's revenge. Wangmei Mei should not forget Wu Yingxiong's revenge for killing Shi Longbiao Shi Daxia's father, act according to the plan, eliminate harm for the people, and eliminate traitors for the country!

"The emperor has issued an order to tie Wu Yingxiong to the noon gate, but there has been no decree to correct Wu Yingxiong, and it is inconvenient for Brother Wei to kill Wu Yingxiong without a will." When Shi Jianmei read the letter, Cao Yin introduced his strategy to Shi Jianmei in a low voice: "However, if Wu Yingxiong's comrades go to rob the law field, Brother Wei can use the pretext of the critical situation to kill that Wu Yingxiong in advance, avenge Shi Longbiao's hatred, and also avenge you, Miss Jianmei." Brother Wei is in the court, and he can also prevaricate in the past. ”

"Do you want me to pretend to be Wu Yingxiong's fellow thief to rob the law field?" Shi Jianmei asked in a deep voice. Cao Yin nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, Miss Jianmei, the relationship between you and Wu Yingxiong has already been decided, if you come forward to hijack the law field, Wu Yingxiong's dog thief himself will think that you are doing this because you lost yourself to him and in order not to leave yourself unsettled for the rest of your life, at that time, Brother Wei can deliberately let you get close to Wu Yingxiong, as long as you go to the execution platform, Brother Wei can let the executioner start in advance." ”

After listening to Cao Yin's plan, Shi Jianmei, who hated Wu Yuanming to the core, was overjoyed, and was about to agree, but the corner of Shi Jianmei's eyes involuntarily glanced at the head of the bed - where there was the South China Sea pearl given to her by Wu Yuanming. Seeing things and thinking about people, Shi Jianmei couldn't help but think of her days and nights in Wu Yingxiong's house these days, these days, except for the incident that happened in Princess Jianning's room that day, Wu Yingxiong has always treated Shi Jianmei with courtesy, no shortage of food and clothing, and never forced Shi Jianmei to do anything she didn't like or want to do, and the most critical point is that Shi Jianmei failed to assassinate Wu Yingxiong several times, Wu Yingxiong didn't blame Shi Jianmei at all, let alone kill Shi Jianmei once and for all. didn't drive Shi Jianmei away, out of sight and out of mind, such a thing had to be changed to other powerful mansions in the capital, it was simply something that no one dared to imagine. Sometimes even Shi Jianmei herself can't understand why Wu Yingxiong is so good to herself......

"Miss Jianmei, the opportunity is rare, so don't hesitate." Seeing that Shi Jianmei didn't speak for a long time, Cao Yin misunderstood what Shi Jianmei meant, and incited: "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, Brother Wei will deliberately let you escape, you first find a place to hide, and when the limelight passes, Brother Wei can send you out of the capital." ”

"Send me out of the capital?" Shi Jianmei glanced at Cao Yin and said in a low voice: "My parents have passed away, and my father-in-law also died at the hands of Wu Yingxiong's dog thieves and left the capital, where else can I go?" ”

"This ......." Cao Yin really didn't think about this for Shi Jianmei - Cao Yin estimated that Kangxi would definitely kill Shi Jianmei after the matter was completed, so naturally he wouldn't think so much for Shi Jianmei. At the same time, Cao Yin was also a little annoyed in his heart, and said in his heart that you Shi Jianmei had lost her body to Wu Yingxiong, and it stands to reason that you should commit suicide to wash away the shame and humiliation on your body after taking revenge. But these words obviously can't be said in front of Shi Jianmei, Cao Yin thought for a while and said: "Since Sister Jianmei doesn't want to leave the capital, it's okay, I'll pull the donkey and Mu Zixu to tell Brother Wei afterwards, and let Brother Wei take Sister Jianmei into the house." ”

"He is already betrothed to the prince's granddaughter, will he still want me?" Shi Jianmei was able to go undercover in the Aobai family for several years without being discovered, and she was able to keep her innocence in the tiger and wolf's den, which was naturally not something that Cao Yin could be deceived by his wrong words. And Cao Yin obviously underestimated this cautious and intelligent girl in her heart, and said with a forced smile: "Of course, Sister Jianmei, you and Brother Wei have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have a deep relationship, how can Brother Wei be willing to abandon you?" ”

"If he had been reluctant to abandon me, he would not have stopped rescuing me after I had lost my life, nor would he have betrothed to any other woman." Shi Jianmei said faintly in her heart. Seeing that Shi Jianmei still refused to let go of her agreement, and there was obviously not much time left, Cao Yin couldn't help but be anxious, and also said what Wu Yuanming said to Wei Dongting in front of the noon gate, "Sister Jianmei, don't hesitate, do you know?" Just now in the court, Wu Yingxiong's dog thief was still saying foul words, insulting Sister Jianmian, you and Brother Wei, such a dog thief, if you don't kill him, I'm afraid that he will say even more ugly things to insult you. ”

"What did Wu Yingxiong say on the court?" Shi Jianmei asked with a gloomy face. Cao Yin recounted: "Wu Yingxiong, the dog thief, said to Brother Wei, let Brother Wei tell you, let you take the gold, silver and jewelry he gave you away from the country, and if you want, you can remarry at will." But you must not follow Brother Wei anymore, otherwise Brother Wei will take you to set up a beauty plan again, and will let you go to other men to ravage. Speaking of this, Cao Yin said angrily: "Sister Jianmei, listen, this Wu Yingxiong is dying, and he is still bent on practicing you, sowing discord between you and Brother Wei." Such a dog thief, it is simply unreasonable not to kill him! ”

"That's what he said." Shi Jianmei closed her eyes and asked lightly. After receiving Cao Yin's affirmative answer, Shi Jianmei opened her eyes violently, a strange light flashed in her eyes, but her tone was unusually calm, "Okay, I'll go to the noon gate with you." ”

"That's great, Sister Jianmei, you get ready quickly, let's go." Cao Yin replied with great joy. Shi Jianmei nodded, took out a short sword that was about to be used to assassinate Wu Yuanming from under the bed and hid it in her sleeve, and hurriedly went out with Cao Yin to the noon gate. Of course, in order to strengthen Shi Jianmei's determination, Cao Yin had to insult Wu Yuanming on the way, and simply said that Wu Yuanming was a great traitor and an unforgivable crime, and even Wu Yuanming was escorted to the noon gate for what reason to wait for the beheading to tell Shi Jianmei, which made Shi Jianmei really surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Wu Yingxiong clashed with the emperor for a woman?" Is it possible that the woman is still the future queen? ”

"Wu Yingxiong's father, Wu Sangui, for Chen Yuanyuan, can lead me to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty into the customs, he Wu Yingxiong's family inheritance, why don't you dare?" Cao Yin replied contemptuously. Shi Jianmei pondered again when she heard this, and never said anything again.

Shihu Hutong is not far from the Forbidden City, Cao Yin and Shi Jianmei are both martial arts and fast steps, the two of them only took half an hour to rush to the gate of the Forbidden City at noon, because the person to be killed is the famous little traitor Wu Yingxiong, at this moment at the noon gate is already crowded with people, everywhere are officials and people who came to see the excitement. And Liu Xuanchu and Yao Qisheng had been closely monitored and surrounded by the troops sent by Wu Liuyi, the commander of the Nine Gates, because they arrived with Wu Sangui's guards, and the scene was full of gunpowder. And Wu Yuanming was already asleep on the guillotine in a white undershirt, and it was obvious that Wu Yuanming still expected that Kangxi would not dare to kill himself at this time, so he was so relieved.

"It's okay, I finally caught up." Seeing that Wu Yuanming was still detained on the guillotine, Cao Yin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said to Shi Jianmei: "Sister Jianmei, you hurry up and watch the scene, the emperor may not kill Wu Yingxiong today, and he must do it before the holy decree to pardon Wu Yingxiong is promulgated." ”

Shi Jianmei did not answer Cao Yin's words, but turned her eyes to look at Wei Dongting on the beheading platform, unlike Shi Jianmei, who had lost a few laps, Wei Dongting's appearance and figure did not change much, probably because of the fact that he personally supervised and beheaded the big enemy Wu Yingxiong, Wei Dongting still looked radiant and high-spirited. Shi Jianmei sighed, and when she went to see Wu Yuanming again, Wu Yuanming was leaning on the guillotine and falling asleep, that chaotic appearance couldn't help but remind Shi Jianmei of the scene when she assassinated Wu Yuanming several times, and Wu Yuanming didn't care so much......

"It's not good, Ne Mo is out, Sister Jianmei, do it quickly." At this time, Cao Yin saw Aobai's godson, the head of the imperial guard, Ne Mo, appear in the noon gate, and a group of guards loyal to Aobai behind him were hurriedly walking outside the noon gate. Cao Yin was afraid that Ne Mo had come to pass the decree to pardon Wu Yingxiong, so he hurriedly said to Shi Jianmei: "Sister Jianmei, I will cover you to approach the guillotine, as long as you rush into the court, Brother Wei can do it." ”

"Okay." Shi Jianmei replied calmly. Cao Yin was overjoyed, and was busy squeezing out a path in the crowd, and approached the law field with Shi Jianmei, and after spending a lot of effort, Cao Yin and Shi Jianmei went to the inner circle closest to the law field, and the infantry army commander Yamen soldiers who maintained the order of the law field in front of them were already open. And at this moment, Ne Mo and a group of guards had already walked out of the noon gate, and were quickly approaching the law field, Cao Yin hurriedly urged in a low voice: "Sister Jianmei, hurry!" If you don't do it, it's too late! ”

"Okay." A strange light flashed in Shi Jianmei's eyes, and she promised but didn't move, Cao Yin was in a hurry, and stomped her feet and urged: "Sister Jianmei, don't hesitate anymore, you can't miss the opportunity, and you won't come again." If Nemo's men had gone to the guillotine, the executioner would have no chance to do so. ”

"Okay, I know." Shi Jianmei agreed, and her right hand reached into the sleeve of her left hand and clenched the short sword, but her steps still didn't move an inch as if it had taken root. Cao Yin thought that Shi Jianmei was suddenly scared when the matter was approaching, and he couldn't help but urge again in a hurry, but at this time, Ne Mo and a group of guards had already rushed to the guillotine, and Ne Mo shouted: "Be careful to protect the prince." The guards immediately scattered in all directions, occupying their most important positions. It turned out that Na Mo did not come to pardon Wu Yuanming, but was ordered by Ao Bai to protect Wu Yuanming.

"It's a pity!" Seeing that the opportunity was missed, Cao Yin was greatly disappointed, but Shi Jianmei's body suddenly moved......

Shi Jianmei grabbed Cao Yin's braid, pulled out a short sword and put it on his neck, tore open her throat and shouted to Ne Mo: "Lord Ne Mo, I am Su Qiu of Ao Xiangye's family!" Someone here wants to harm the prince of Pingxi! ”
