For Kangxi, Xiaozhuang's will was still somewhat restrictive, and on the night of the end of the Shangu shop, at least five families were removed from Shihu Hutong, and the two vendors who often sold enemas and calligraphy and paintings at the entrance of Shihu Hutong also disappeared without a trace, as if they had melted into the air. But the removal of his own surveillance does not mean that Wu Yuanming can rest assured, because Wu Yuanming clearly knows how 'true his word' and 'soft-heartedness' Kangxi is in history, so Wu Yuanming only did two things in the next few days, one is to look for Hui'er in heaven and earth, and the other is to think about a way to escape from Beijing - pondering a difficult escape method that will not cause his father to raise troops in a hurry, and will not attract his younger brother's disgust and small actions, and there is a difficult escape method that will not be chased and killed on the road- Is there such a good thing in the world?

In the next four or five days, Wu Yuanming mobilized all the power of Wu Sangui in Beijing, both openly and secretly, to search the streets and alleys of Beijing, to find all the teahouses and wine shops in the nine inner and outer cities, and even brothels, prostitutions, theater troupes, and human tooth shops and other places that specialize in abducting and selling young girls. In a hurry, Wu Yuanming even had the courage to enter the palace to ask for a meeting with Xiaozhuang, and asked her if there was any news of Hui'er, and Xiaozhuang called Kong Sizhen, who was in charge of intelligence work, to Wu Yuanming, and asked Wu Yuanming to ask Kong Sizhen about Hui'er's news in person, but unfortunately Kong Sizhen didn't have any news about Hui'er, and even Zhou Jianliang, the thirteen yamen secret agent who disappeared with Hui'er, couldn't see anyone alive and couldn't see his body, which almost made Wu Yuanming suspect that it was this Zhou Jianliang who abducted Hui'er when he saw the uprising. But Kong Sizhen resolutely denied Wu Yuanming's suspicions, because Zhou Jianliang's wife and children were all held in Kong Sizhen's hands.

When he came out of Cining Palace, it was the time of the Taihe Palace, and the depressed Wu Yuanming stuffed some silver to the eunuchs who led the way, so that they could lead them out of the palace by the relatively remote right-wing door, who would have thought that Kangxi had avoided it, but outside the right-wing door, he bumped into the group of Aobai who left the Taihe Hall and the Suo Etu who had lost a whole circle, and the Suo Etu who looked gloomy, and the group of Aobai who walked in front were all smiling, as if they had just picked up ten or eight big ingots, Seeing Wu Yuanming coming out of the right wing door, Ao Bai even took the initiative to greet Wu Yuanming: "Virtuous nephew, why did you enter the palace too?" ”

"My nephew greets my uncle." Wu Yuanming hurriedly stepped forward to bow and explained: "Uncle, my nephew came to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager's ancestor, and by the way, I inquired about Miss Zhaohui's news, and I didn't want to bump into my uncle here." ”

Ao Bai controls the forbidden city of the Forbidden City, and there are a lot of eyeliner in the city, Wu Yuanming entered the palace to inquire about Hui'er's whereabouts, Ao Bai actually knew about it, seeing that Wu Yuanming was still honest and did not panic, Ao Bai, who was already happy, nodded and said with a smile: "Nephew don't worry, today Zhaohui's identity as the queen has been abolished, uncle doesn't have to be afraid of gossip, it's convenient to meddle in this matter, uncle will ask people to help you inquire about Miss Zhaohui's whereabouts, and you will definitely help you have a lover and eventually become a family." ”

"Hui'er's position as the queen has been officially abolished, if the little girl knows the news, I don't know what she wants to become?" Wu Yuanming sighed secretly, and was about to thank Ao. Aobai's younger brother Mulima grabbed Wu Yuanming's arm and laughed affectionately: "Virtuous nephew, congratulations to your uncle, your uncle has lived in Beijing for a few years, and today he finally got the right difference - the commander of the Beijing Chengguan Battalion, under the jurisdiction of 5,000 chengguan, in the future, the streets and alleys of the nine cities inside and outside Beijing will be under the control of my uncle, and my uncle will definitely let his rabbit cubs help you find Miss Zhaohui." ”

"Commander of the Beijing Chengguan Battalion?!" Wu Yuanming was stunned and recounted this new official position that he had created single-handedly, and said in his heart that the chengguan team was created in the Qing Dynasty - I shouldn't be struck by lightning, right? The news that the chengguan camp came up with by himself must not be known to the people, otherwise he will be even more infamous than his father. However, Wu Yuanming still had a question, and asked Ao Bai in a low voice: "Uncle, please forgive my little nephew for bluntly saying that although the establishment of this urban management camp is greatly beneficial to my uncle, our emperor is not stupid, will he honestly let his uncle's army settle in Beijing City?" ”

"Virtuous nephew, you are right, Kang Xiaosan said that he didn't agree with anything at first." Ao Bai gritted his teeth and said: "Fortunately, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very dissatisfied with the chaos and congestion of the streets of Beijing, and they all agreed with the old man's request, plus the old man made several concessions to Kang Xiaosan, agreeing to Suo Etu to enter the study to take office, let Suo Etu's niece Hesheri Zhaoquan take over the position of the queen of the prince, and agreed that Zamul would be the general of Heihe to fight the Rakshasas, Kang Xiaosan nodded and agreed to establish the chengguan camp, and let Mulima be the commander of the chengguan battalion. ”

"General Zamul was transferred to Heihe? Who will replace the Admiral of Fengtai? Uncle, isn't this deal too much of a loss? Wu Yuanming was anxious when he heard this, and said in his heart, Are you crazy or stupid? Unexpectedly handed over the military power of the Fengtai garrison, if you fall, I haven't escaped from this Beijing city, it's strange that Kang Xiaosan doesn't look for me to settle accounts after the autumn! Fortunately, Aobai's answer made Wu Yuanming breathe a sigh of relief, and Aobai patted Wu Yuanming's shoulder and said with a smile: "The good intentions of the virtuous nephew are understood by the old man, but the virtuous nephew can rest assured, the Omoktu who succeeded Zamule is also the old man's old general, and when he was surrounded by Mao Dongzhu's army on Phi Island, it was the old man who personally killed him into the enemy formation and carried him out, and he was more reassuring to the old man than Zamule." Ao Bai didn't finish his words, the reason why he transferred Zamul to the Outer Xing'an Mountains, where birds don't lay eggs, was mainly because Zamule hesitated to use troops in the incident of Shangudian, which made Ao Bai miss the opportunity to win a complete victory, and Ao Bai made the decision in a fit of rage.

"Okay, Shizi, you should still have something to say to Master Suo, the old man will leave, and your uncle will go to arrange the formation of the chengguan camp, and another day your uncle will ask your uncle to invite you to a few drinks, so that he can thank you for the good position you have planned." Ao Bai knew that Wu Yuanming would definitely discuss with Suo Etu about finding Hui'er, so he muttered a few words to Wu Yuanming and led the party members to go triumphantly. As soon as the group of them left on the front foot, Suo Etu walked quickly to Wu Yuanming's side on the back foot, and asked anxiously: "Shizi, is there any news about Hui'er's whereabouts?" ”

Wu Yuanming didn't even have the courage to look at Suo Etu, he just shook his head gloomily, Suo Etu was disappointed for a while, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Hui'er has suffered misfortune, otherwise it has been so many days, why is there no news from a big living person?" Saying that, Suo Etu, who felt sorry for his beloved daughter, couldn't help but shed tears, and choked up: "Shizi, you understand my daughter's heart, Hui'er, don't look for it anymore, it's because she herself is not blessed, you better think more about your own affairs." For the sake of Hui'er, you made such a big move, although the emperor didn't do anything to you for the time being, but ...... You'd better be more prepared. ”

"Lord Suo, no matter how much it costs, I must find Hui'er, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death." Wu Yuanming showed his heart in a categorical manner, and comforted Suo Etu and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have asked my father-in-law to draw a portrait of Hui'er, since Zhaohui has been abolished by Mingzhao, we can also look for her openly, I asked people to post Hui'er's portrait everywhere, promise a heavy reward, and let the people of the whole city help find it together, I think there will be some news." ”

"Well, I hope so." Suo Etu sighed, and while walking towards the noon gate with Wu Yuanming, he whispered to Wu Yuanming: "Shizi, today the emperor named Suo Etu to enter the study to work, I am afraid that there will be fewer opportunities for us to meet in the future, Suo Etu will sue a crime first, and the prince will take care of himself in the future." ”

"Congratulations, my lord, I have to call you Suo Xiang in the future, if it is not an urgent matter in the future, Wu will not bother Suo Xiang." Wu Yuanming nodded in agreement, understanding what Suo Etu meant. The Qing Dynasty did not have a prime minister, but the power of the minister of the upper study was almost the same as that of the prime minister, since Suo Etu entered the upper study, in order to avoid the suspicion of colluding with foreign vassal kings to create excuses for political enemies, Suo Etu had to continue to cut off Wu Yuanming's contacts, and Wu Yuanming did not want to involve this future traitor who still had a little conscience, so he naturally agreed to understand it.

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

Returning home in a sedan chair with a heavy heart, Yao Qisheng was explaining "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" to Shi Lang's son Shi Shilun in the flower hall, the old name Huazi is indeed the same as Wu Yuanming, a book of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" that was regarded as a classic by Confucianism, he didn't teach it, but only picked out the tricks between alliances, marriage and usurpation to teach Shi Shilun, as if he wanted to make the future Qing official Shi Shilun an old fox like him. Seeing Wu Yuanming coming in, Yao Qisheng put down the scroll and asked Wu Yuanming, "How is it?" What news did the Empress Dowager give you? ”

"There is no news, the Empress Dowager was afraid that I would not believe her, and called Kong Sizhen to question me face to face." Wu Yuanming sighed and shook his head, telling Yao Qisheng about the things he encountered in the Forbidden City, when Wu Yuanming told Yao Qisheng about the concessions made by Ao Bai to Kangxi, Yao Qisheng sighed: "Ao Bai, this old fool, the Fengtai garrison he controls is finished!" ”

"The Fengtai garrison is finished?" Wu Yuanming asked in surprise: "The child listened to Na Aobai and said that the Omoktu who replaced Zamule and carried him out of the battlefield, it stands to reason that Omoktu should be more reliable than Zamule, why did the father-in-law say that the Fengtai garrison was finished?" ”

"Brother Wu, it has been taboo to change battles since ancient times." Shi Shilun, who is young and old, interjected: "The teacher has analyzed this point for the younger brother many times, and the temporary change of generals can only lead to one result - the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, and the enemy can take advantage of it." The younger brother is ignorant, if I am not mistaken, then Omoktu is the general of Xi'an, Xi'an and Beijing are thousands of miles apart, when Ao Zhongtang transferred Omoktu from Xi'an to Beijing, the emperor has enough time to envelop the deputy generals, generals, assistant leaders and guerrillas in the Fengtai garrison, the Jinggi area has been peaceful for a long time, most of the generals have lost their enterprising spirit, most of them are already greedy for money and lustful, not to mention that once the son of heaven and a courtier, these people are facing the threat of replacing the new superiors and removing them from office, and the emperor wants to entrap them, It's a breeze. As long as these Omoktu's deputies and middle- and lower-ranking officers fall to the emperor's side, Omoktu will be hollowed out even if he becomes the commander of the Fengtai garrison. When the big event is coming, as long as the emperor sends a holy decree, Omoktu will immediately turn into powder, and it can no longer play any role for Ao Zhongtang. ”

"The analysis makes sense, and the children can be taught." Seeing that his lover was so smart, Yao Qisheng couldn't help but be proud, Wu Yuanming also nodded, knowing that it was not difficult to do this with Kong Sizhen's ** power to win over men, and at the same time he smiled bitterly in his heart, saying that it was really a mistake to hand over Shi Shilun to his godfather, what good things could the students who were taught by this old man called Huazi's godfather? In the future, if you want to set up a few examples of Qing officials, you have to fight other people's ideas - by the way, Jackie Chan seems to be still in Sichuan now, so he has to write a letter to his father and Liu Xuanchu, so that they can find a way to entrap this talent, as long as they find him, they will not be able to escape from the palm of their own family.

"Son, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Wu Yuanming was deep in thought, Yao Qisheng said rudely: "If you have anything else, what should you do, for your father, you will also explain the Spring and Autumn Period to your younger brother." ”

"Yes, yes, the child is leaving." Wu Yuanming knew that Yao Qisheng hated others for disturbing him when he was lecturing, so he hurriedly bowed and retreated, and arranged for someone to handwrite and post a notice to find Hui'er, while Yao Qisheng continued to instill toxins into the head of Shi Shilun, a future Qing official, to corrode the pure heart of the flower of the Qing Dynasty.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than two days have passed, Wu Yuanming's notice to find Hui'er is almost all over the city, and the silver reward has also been opened to three thousand taels, but Hui'er still has no news, only a few idle ruffians ran to Wu Yuanming's house to report some false news, wanting to defraud the reward, Wu Yuanming, who was so angry that he was busy in vain, asked his soldiers to beat them up and send them to Shuntianfu for severe punishment. On the afternoon of the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Wu Yuanming, who had lost a lot of weight, called Wu Shou and Wu Xi and asked them to post a new notice, asking them to raise the reward to 5,000 taels of silver, and the person who raised the clue also gave a reward of 2,000 taels of silver, and the two brothers took the order and hurried away. But the two brothers went out less than an hour before they came back with blue noses and swollen faces......

"Son, you have to call the shots for us! They're too bullying! Wu Xi cried to Wu Yuanming with a handful of snot and tears. Wu Yuanming looked at the two brothers who were beaten into pigs' heads and said in surprise: "Who have you been bullied by?" Why did they beat you? In this Beijing city, there are not many people who dare to beat the prince's mansion for no reason, right? Have you committed any sin? ”

"Chengguan!" Wu Xi shouted loudly: "Shizi, who doesn't dare to fight the chengguan? Not to mention the subordinates of our Pingxi Wangshizi's Mansion, that is, the officials of Shuntian Mansion, the cooks of Ao Zhongtang's family who bought vegetables, Prince Kang's personal entourage and the eunuchs in the palace They all dared to fight, they had only been established for two days, and the number of fights alone was at least hundreds of times, and I heard that they also killed several stall vendors and farmers who went to the city to sell vegetables. ”

"Chengguan beats people, that's a matter of course." Wu Yuanming scratched his head, remembering the scene when he was beaten to death by the chengguan in the 21st century - he couldn't help but feel happy for Wu Shou and Wu Xi. Then Wu Yuanming suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I understand, the city management is in charge of the city, and you take people to post notices looking for Hui'er on the street, and those people will definitely find you trouble, either to extort your money, or to prevent you from posting notices." ”

"yes." Wu Xi rubbed his blue eyes and said: "They said that each notice should charge one penny of silver for cleaning the city, otherwise they are not allowed to post, and they also tore up all the notices we posted before." Of course, the minions refused, so they argued with them for a few words, but they immediately rushed up in a swarm, punching and kicking around the minions, and beating them with wooden sticks, if it wasn't for the minions running fast, they were afraid that they would be killed there on the spot. But the notices that the minions had taken to post were all confiscated and torn up by them. ”

In the face of Wu Shou and Wu Xi's crying, Wu Yuanming, as the master, couldn't help, and told Wu Yuanming that in the 21st century, many years of experience in dealing with chengguan told Wu Yuanming that it was not a joke to provoke that group of mad dogs, not to mention that this group of mad dogs now has Ao Bai as a backstage. So Wu Yuanming thought for a while and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you go down to take medicine, by the way, ask your eldest brother to come to me with a small silver ticket of two thousand taels of silver and ten South China Sea Pearls, and your eldest brother and I will go to Mulima to say hello to him, and those chengguan should not trouble you again in the future." ”

"Yes." The two brothers went down, and after a while, Wu Lu came over with the pearls and silver tickets that Wu Yuanming wanted, and the master and servant changed into civilian clothes and brought ten more guards, and then went out to intercede with Mulima. I have to say that the establishment of the chengguan camp is still very immediate, the streets that are crowded and full of garbage on weekdays have become clean and slippery, not to mention the hawkers who set up stalls, that is, the merchants who carry the burden to sell groceries and the begging flowers along the street can't see half of it, and only pedestrians and princes and officials are left on the spacious streets, so that Wu Yuanming's carriage can easily reach the sweet water well alley where Mulima's house is located, and it also makes Wu Yuanming feel a lot of emotion - no wonder the dignitaries like the chengguan so much!

As soon as he entered the gate of Mulima's house, Wu Yuanming was immediately startled by the scene of Mulima's house - the compound of Mulima's house was full of cattle, sheep and horses, just like a cattle and horse market. Wu Yuanming inquired a little and found out that these horses, cattle and sheep were confiscated by Mulima's chengguan team in Beijing today, because the chengguan camp yamen really couldn't fit it here, and he was going to lead the cattle and sheep to the cattle and horse market set up by the chengguan camp the next day to sell, and as for the horses, they had to arm the chengguan of the whole Beijing city, but the number was still not enough, so Mulima also ordered to expand the scale and intensity of the confiscation. Seeing that Wu Yuanming snorted again, he said that he knew that I would also be a city manager.

"Shizi, our lord is not at home today." The porter of Mulima's family replied to Wu Yuanming: "I heard that the master went to Goolan Hutong to perform official duties, and there are ** along the street to solicit customers at night, often obstructing traffic, so our master took people there to take care of that area." ”

"Mu Lima, this old boy wants to blackmail the ** bamboo pole, and he eats and prostitutes for nothing, this old boy is really a natural material for urban management." Wu Yuanming scoffed at Mu Lima's true intentions, but if Mu Lima was not found tonight, he would not be able to post a notice to find Hui'er tomorrow, so Wu Yuanming had no choice but to take people to Goolan Hutong again.

Arrive at Goolan Hutong, to the night warbler Yanyan, willow green lights in the Goolan Hutong is already bleak, everywhere you can see the chengguan wearing light blue chengguan military uniform in the crazy mess and smash, whether it is a carriage parked on the street or a big red lantern hanging in the middle of the street, are the objects of the chengguan smashing, hundreds of fancy ** were tied with ropes and tied to the carriage brought by the chengguan, and a few chengguan wearing hats crookedly were whipping and whipping them to make them stand up, listen to the abusive tone of those chengguan, it seems that these ** It was because soliciting passengers on the street obstructed traffic, so the chengguan had to escort them back to the yamen of the chengguan camp to deal with them - as for what would happen when they entered the yamen, they could know by thinking on their toes.

"Good fellows." Wu Lu was not used to seeing the law enforcement of the chengguan like Wu Yuanming, and was frightened by the scene in front of him, and said: "Fortunately, I didn't let the guys mess around when the chengguan went to our Citibank silver account to smash the store's cover today, and I stuffed each of them with a tael of silver, otherwise it would be strange if our family's silver number would not be smashed by them." ”

"Pediatrics." Wu Yuanming was very disdainful of the performance of the Qing Dynasty chengguan, and always believed that there was still a certain gap between their performance and the chengguan in the 21st century. At this time, several Daqing city management took a fancy to Wu Yuanming's carriage, rushed over and shouted: "Parking is strictly forbidden on the street, your carriage has been confiscated, get down!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, our carriage just passed by here and didn't stop." Wu Lu explained. It's a pity that Wu Lu, who lacks experience in dealing with chengguan, seriously underestimated the arrogance of the chengguans, and several chengguan roared in unison, "Boy, the chengguan said that your car stopped when it stopped, and you dare to talk back?" Brothers, beat him up! ”

If you want to know whether Wu Yuanming was beaten to death by the chengguan again, and whether he was beaten to a more previous life again, please see the next chapter.
