A shock in the Gyeonggi area of the Zhong San Lang Xiang Society cult incident began vigorously, but ended in a quiet way, the cult leader Yang Qilong was characterized by the government as committing the unforgivable crime of rebellion and rebellion, along with the kidnapping of officials' children and trespassing on the Pingxi Wangzi's Mansion two minor crimes, was killed by the guards of the Pingxi Wangzi's Mansion in the gatehouse It has also become a matter of course, for this reason, Kangxi also issued an order to reward the guards of the Pingxi Wangshizi's Mansion - mainly because Wu Yuanming pulled Geng Xinghe's monk to help him this time, In the face of the joint efforts of the three protons, it would be too unwise for Kangxi to insist that Wu Yingxiong was harboring the leader of the cult thieves. Most of Yang Qilong's henchmen escaped justice, and only a few ringleaders such as Zhu Shangxian, Zhou Quanbin, and Zhou Gongzhi were caught, as well as 20 or 30 inconsequential pawns.

On the afternoon of the end of the incident, a few ordinary people picked up a wooden box containing a jade moat and a gold medal in the gutter next to a street, because the wooden box was wrapped in bright yellow brocade, these people did not have the courage to hide it, and handed over the things to the government - and this street was impartial, it happened to be a street where Yang Qilong fled to Wu Yingxiong's house. Although repeated examinations later revealed that the jade moat and gold medal in the wooden box were all forgeries, the few people who handed in the wooden box were still let disappear forever by the panicked Manchu court, and that night, Zhu Shangxian, Zhou Quanbin, Zhou Gongzhi and other Yang Qilong's henchmen who were caught were also 'committed suicide' in the prison of the Criminal Department. At the same time, the Qing court significantly intensified its crackdown on the remnants of the Zhong San Lang Xiang Society, and in less than a month, the Zhong San Lang Xiang Hui branches in Gyeonggi, Shandong, Henan, and Hebei were all devastated, and the leaders of the branches and main halls were wiped out except for a few lucky ones who escaped. All records about Yang Qilong were completely destroyed by the Qing court and have never been written again.

The unlucky people are not only Yang Qilong and his Zhong Sanlang Xianghui, but also Kong Sizhen, the intelligence director of the imperial court, is also one of them, because he was stunned by Yao Qisheng's fake surrender, Kong Sizhen stupidly used the power of the imperial court and Ao Bai to fight Zhong Sanlang Xianghui at the same time, dreaming of killing three birds with one stone to create an excuse for the imperial court to trap Wu Yingxiong, entrap Yao Qisheng and arrest the third prince of Zhu. In the face of such a result, Kong Sizhen would never be able to explain to the imperial court, if it weren't for Kong Sizhen using her body to compensate Kangxi, plus she still has a lot of use value, Kangxi, who is still thinking about Hui'er's little girl, would have let her 'commit suicide'. But to Wu Yuanming's expectation, Kong Sizhen did not take any revenge on Yao Qisheng, on the contrary, he also sent someone to send a pound of Jiangnan boudoir tea that was more expensive than gold to Yao Qisheng, who was a tea lover, Yao Qisheng, who had already seen through Kong Sizhen's personality and intentions, was also disrespectful, and told Wu Yuanming in private, "Don't worry about Kong Sizhen's revenge, this woman is treacherous, as long as Kangxi didn't order her to kill me, she wouldn't come to me for a few words of scolding for herself." Because she also sees that your father is going to rebel sooner or later, and now she is completely torn with you, if your father's rebellion succeeds in the future, does she still want to live? In addition, now Ao Bai and Kangxi have not decided the winner, and the future variables are even greater, only by keeping a hand now, she will have a chance to make a comeback in the future. ”

The sun rises and sets, the flowers bloom, the time goes without looking back, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the gears of history have gradually turned to May of the eighth year of Kangxi - the month of the fall of Aobai......

During this period of time, Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng, the father and son who were embarrassed and smelly of each other, honestly retracted to the old nest in Shihu Hutong to study behind closed doors in order to avoid the limelight, which relieved the Qing court who suspected that Wu Yuanming was preparing to flee back to Yunnan, and the activities of the Aobai party were rampant during this time, as long as Wu Yuanming did not make any special moves, the court did not want to make extraneous branches, so Wu Yuanming was still peaceful during this time - the only thing that annoyed Wu Yuanming was that Yao Qisheng, who had never paid attention to etiquette, suddenly had a whim, forced Wu Yuanming to learn a set of incomparably complicated court etiquette, and if he didn't learn it, he would be scolded, which really made Wu Yuanming, who was full of hooligans and ruffians in his gestures, suffer a lot.

On this day, poor Wu Yuanming was slipped into the back garden by Yao Qisheng to learn to walk in all directions, and Yao Qisheng was lecturing to the student Shi Shilun in the pavilion, and at the same time took the time to scold Wu Yuanming, "The left foot is bigger, the habitual support foot of people is the left foot, and the supporting force of the right foot is not as large as the left foot, so you need to use more force when you step with the left foot." The head can't be lowered, the eyeballs should be tilted up, and the waist can't be twisted - look at your appearance, does the woman in the Xueqing Building twist her ass? Wu Yuanming's funny appearance with a bitter face and Yao Qisheng's mean words provoked Shi Shilun to snicker, but it was also exchanged for Yao Qisheng's first precept, "Study!" ”

"Brother Wu, I'm coming to see you again." Just when Wu Yuanming was about to be tortured crazy by the cumbersome and restrained court etiquette, Hui'er's angelic crisp and sweet voice suddenly sounded in Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming was relieved, and quickly wiped the cold sweat and opened his arms to hug the little girl who flew into his arms, pinched her tender little face and smiled: "Little girl, run to the eldest brother's house every day, do you want to eat your eldest brother poor?" ”

"Hmph, what about you? Besides, your family's military salary has been paid in full, am I still poor for you? The little girl broke free from Wu Yuanming's embrace, crossed her waist and hummed dissatisfiedly at Wu Yuanming. It turned out that after Yao Qisheng designed Yang Qilong to take the initiative to send the little girl back to Wu Yuanming, the little girl was quickly taken home by Suo Etu's wife, although the cheeky little girl wanted to live in Wu Yuanming's house, but she couldn't stand Eniang's tear offensive, so she obediently went home to live temporarily, but it was true that she ran to Wu Yuanming's house every day, and blackmailed Wu Yuanming every day to buy snacks and delicious food to fill her slander. However, what makes Suo Etu, who has been promoted to the minister of the study, and the little girl herself strange is that although Wu Yuanming doesn't mind hugging the little girl, he never touches a finger of the little girl, let alone has a more affectionate move with the little girl, but the little girl is also thin-skinned in this regard, and she is embarrassed to bring it up to Wu Yuanming.

"Miss Zhaohui, don't prevent your Brother Wu from practicing etiquette, you also come over to read some books, and if you want to play, wait for your Brother Wu to practice the Quartet well." Yao Qisheng saw Wu Yuanming's attempt to borrow the little girl to get out, so he hurried to stop Wu Yuanming before he took the little girl to have snacks. The little girl didn't listen to Yao Qisheng's command, but looked at the maids of the Wu Mansion who were on the left and right, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Yuanming was the little girl's confidant, and hurriedly instructed the maids: "You all go down, and tell the kitchen to prepare some rice noodles across the bridge and send them to the east wing, and then ask Miss Zhaohui and Shi Gongzi to use them." ”

"Yes." The maids agreed to go down one after another, and after they were all gone, the little girl Hui'er took out a letter sealed with fire paint from her arms, and said in a low voice: "I Ama gave it to you, let you burn it after reading it." Wu Yuanming took the secret letter with the little girl's body temperature, touched the little girl's hair and said with a smile: "Good job, there are eight treasures in the pavilion, go and supervise your incomplete brother to study." The greedy little girl cheered and got into the pavilion, munching on the Bazhen cake while shouting a lesson to Shi Shilun, which was very majestic of a female teacher. Yao Qisheng walked out of the pavilion and read the letter under the shade of the tree with Wu Yuanming.

The letter is not long, only a few sentences - Fengtai commander Omoktu has been completely erected, the Fengtai garrison is no longer at the disposal of Aobai, and more than half of the guards with knives in the palace have sworn allegiance to the emperor, and the lord has decided to attack Aobai, and the time is within a month. If you fall, you will not be able to escape, and you hope to make a countermeasure as soon as possible. And also: Take my daughter.

After reading the letter, Wu Yuanming, who had a grim face, took out the flint fire knife and burned the letter clean, and there was only the sound of flint and fire knife colliding in the whole process, and Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng didn't say a word. It wasn't until the ashes of the letter were completely blown away by the wind that Yao Qisheng sighed: "The Fengtai garrison of Aobai is really finished, the balance of power in the capital has been broken, and the storm is coming." ”

"Ao Bai transferred the green battalion soldiers from Zhangjiakou and drove away the Eight Banners soldiers who were ambushed by the Empress Dowager north of Badaling, didn't he still lie there and didn't leave?" Wu Yuanming asked. Yao Qisheng shook his head and sighed: "It's too late, most of the green battalion soldiers are infantry, from Badaling to the capital, it will take at least more than three hours, more than three hours, which is enough to decide everything." If it was done in the capital, Kangxi could be said to have won. ”

"Father-in-law, in that case, should the child run away? Or do you continue to secretly support Aobai? Wu Yuanming asked with a frown. Originally, according to Wu Yuanming's calculations, if the battle between Kang and Ao was won by Aobai, it would be most beneficial to his family, because although Aobai's military ability was high, he was not good at uniting the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han landlords, and the internal friction alone was enough to make Aobai anxious. It's a pity that Wu Yuanming doesn't have the ability to control the victory and help Aobai win, the only thing he can do is to let Aobai linger for a while.

"The defeat of Aobai has been revealed, if you get entangled with him again, if the escape plan is not smooth, you will have no chance to turn over, Kangxi's kid is poisonous." Yao Qisheng looked at things much longer than Wu Yuanming, and muttered: "What's more, even if Ao Bai wins, he will not be stupid enough to let go of your Wu family, you are still a death." Don't expect Aobai to overthrow Kangxi and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be divided internally, that old man is not so stupid, killing Kangxi and succeeding to the throne himself is far less beneficial than abolishing Kangxi and setting up another young emperor. ”

"The father-in-law is clever and calculated, and the child admires it from the bottom of his heart." Wu Yuanming has said a lot of sycophants, but few of them are so heartfelt. Because Wu Yuanming clearly remembers that in history, when Aobai was preparing to launch a coup d'état, he decided to only abolish Kangxi and not kill him, and many people said that Aobai was to remember the old love or the kindness of a woman, but only a big traitor like godfather Yao Qisheng could see at a glance the means and real intentions that Aobai was going to take. Wu Yuanming thought about it and asked, "In that case, is the child pretending to be sick from today?" ”

"If you suffer from jaundice or typhoid fever for no reason, both Kangxi and Aobai will suspect that if you want to get sick, you have to ...... reasonably." A cold light flashed in Yao Qisheng's small triangular eyes, and a poisonous plan to cut off children and grandchildren gradually appeared in his mind......

At the beginning of the night, the little girl who was in Wu Yuanming's house filled with a belly of cross-bridge rice noodles and steam-pot chicken returned home in a sedan chair, and wanted to go back to the boudoir directly to rest, but was called into Suo Etu's study by the maid, and it turned out that Suo Etu instructed that no matter how late the little girl returned home, she must go to the study to see him. The little girl didn't think much about it, and went directly to Suo Etu's study, and as soon as Suo Etu saw her daughter's face, she drove the servant maid out of the study, and asked her daughter nervously: "Hui'er, you sent things to your brother Wu today, did your brother Wu say anything to you?" ”

"Nope." The little girl was also very strange why Wu Yuanming didn't let her reply to Suo Etu or bring a message, and said to her father very excitedly: "But the day after tomorrow, May 11, is the day of the temple fair in the City God Temple (Note 1), and Brother Wu said that he would take me to the temple fair. Speaking of this, the little girl pounced on her father, hugged Suo Etu's arm and shook it: "Amma, in previous years, the temple fair of the City God Temple was E-niang who took me and a group of maids and servants to visit the temple fair, but this year I want to go with Brother Wu, and I am afraid that E-Niang will not agree, Amma, you tell E-niang, just let me go." ”

"It's rare that you like it, so go ahead." Suo Etu lovingly touched her daughter's long black hair, and said with a smile: "Your mother, there is Ama to help you say, and make sure that your little girl will fulfill her wish." Okay, you go back and rest. ”

"Thank you Amma, Amma is the best." The little girl didn't expect her father to be so good at talking, and she was overjoyed to Suo Etu, so she ran out of the study and went back to sleep. Suo Etu looked at his daughter's back and muttered to himself, "It seems that Wu Yingxiong is ready to escape from Beijing on that day, but how did he use to escape?" If he runs away publicly, his father will not be able to explain to the court? This guy is really tight-mouthed, even if there is a wind, I can also help a little. ”

After thinking about it, Suo Etu still decided not to interfere in Wu Yingxiong's escape plan, first, it is easy to get angry, and second, Wu Yingxiong has always been cunning, and his godfather Yao Qisheng is an old loach with oil on his body, since they are so confident that they can escape from Beijing, they must have a foolproof plan, and they will be self-defeating if they interfere rashly. Thinking of this, Suo Etu, who felt sorry for his daughter, was relaxed for a while, and was about to go to bed, but the servant suddenly came to report, "Master, Mr. Wu, who lived in our back garden for a period of time, and the original maid Yunniang in the young lady's room came together, saying that they wanted to say goodbye to the master, but I don't know if the master wants to meet him?" ”

"Wu Ciyou? Li Yuliang? Suo Etu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Wu Ciyou's injuries had healed, so he nodded and said, "Let them in." It turned out that after Wu Ciyou's tongue tendon was broken by Yao Qisheng, it was impossible to be an official in the court, but Xiaozhuang saw that Wu Ciyou had the wisdom to know people, so he let him go to the people to select talents for Kangxi, and Li Yuliang, who was in love with Wu Ciyou, volunteered to accompany him, and was scheduled to leave Beijing tomorrow, so he came to say goodbye to his old friend Suotu.

After a while, Wu Ciyou, who was dressed in Changshan, and Li Yuliang, who was wearing a sword hanging from his waist and wearing a Han woman's clothes, were led into the study by the servants, and after saluting together, Li Yuliang said: "Master Suo, Mr. Wu and I are going to leave Beijing tomorrow, and I came to bid you farewell today. ”

After that, Li Yuliang was deeply blessed to Suo Etu, and when he straightened up again, Li Yuliang's eyes were already flashing with tears, and he choked up: "Mr. Wu's tongue is inconvenient, he asked me to thank the adults on his behalf, thank you for your kindness to Mr. Wu in the past, and if you don't get it, you can still hope that your lord Haihan." Saying that, Li Yuliang gave Suo Etu the third salute after the meeting, and Wu Ciyou also bowed deeply to Suo Etu.

"Mr. Wu, Yun Niang, you are too polite, please get up, please get up." Suo Etu secretly sighed at the impermanence of the world, and personally helped Wu Ciyou and Li Yuliang up. Wu Ciyou pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, and gestured with his hands and feet, Li Yuliang hurriedly said: "Master Suo, Mr. Wu wants to talk to you with pen and ink, his mouth can't speak now, but he can write." ”

"Okay, Mr. Wu, please." Suo Etu nodded. Li Yuliang hurriedly spread out the paper, and polished the ink to write by Wu Ciyou, but when Wu Ciyou picked up the pen, he glanced at Li Yuliang again, Li Yuliang knew that Wu Ciyou wanted her to avoid it temporarily, so he pleaded with Suo Etu: "My lord, I don't know if Miss Zhaohui is sleeping?" Yun Niang wanted to go and say goodbye to the young lady, and also said goodbye to her. ”

"Go ahead, Hui'er just returned to the room, and she shouldn't have slept yet." Suo Etu didn't think much about it, and agreed casually. Li Yuliang hurriedly said goodbye and left the room, and Wu Ciyou didn't say a word, he picked up the pen and wrote a line of delicate letters on the paper - adult, you must not marry your daughter to Wu Yingxiong, otherwise you will only bring disaster upon yourself.

"Alas, this guy really hates Wu Yingxiong." As soon as he saw Wu Ciyou finish writing the first sentence, Suo Etu guessed the content of Wu Ciyou's secret conversation with himself - this narrow-minded villain came to incite himself to break up the relationship between Wu Yingxiong and his daughter in order to make Wu Yingxiong uncomfortable......

Let's not say that Wu Ciyou agitated like a spring in the study - no, it should be a pen of agitation, just say that Li Yuliang went to find Hui'er's little girl to say goodbye, because he was a maid in Suo Etu's house for a period of time, Li Yuliang is very familiar with the environment of Suo Etu's house, and he easily touched the door of Hui'er's little girl's room, and when he just wanted to raise his hand to knock on the door, he suddenly heard Hui'er's little girl's triumphant voice in the room, "Haiju, Haimei, tomorrow you will prepare more flower dew and daffodil juice, and the day after tomorrow I will go to the temple fair of the City God Temple with Brother Wu, I'm going to dress up nicely and smell good. ”

"Wu Yingxiong is going to the City God Temple to visit the temple fair the day after tomorrow?!" Hearing Hui'er's unintentional words, Li Yuliang, who hated Wu Yingxiong to the core, suddenly passed Wu Ciyou's pale and sickly handsome face, as well as Wu Yingxiong's hideous and terrifying 'ugly' face, and his white and slender fingers unconsciously touched the sword on his waist and clenched it hard......

Note 1: In addition to the three-day temple fair every month in the Qing Dynasty, on the 11th day of the fifth lunar month every year, the officials of Taichang Temple also held a grand event to worship the city god at the capital city god temple on Chengfang Street in Xicheng District. At that time, pilgrims and tourists are endless, and small traders and hawkers gather here, shouting and selling, and it is very lively.
