Chapter Ninety-Six: The Old Name is Hanako
"Father-in-law, you asked the child to agree to Yang Qilong's conditions, is it a delaying tactic? Or do you really want the child to escape from Beijing with the help of Yang Qilong? As soon as Yang Qilong returned to the safe back room, Wu Yuanming couldn't wait to ask Yao Qisheng. As he spoke, Wu Yuanming drove away the other people in the room, took out the three bottles of medicine given to him by Zhou Huichun from his arms, explained the effects of these medicines to Yao Qisheng in a low voice and said the plan he had pondered, and finally added: "Father-in-law, the child thinks that it is much better to escape from Beijing in this way than to rely on Yang Qilong's help to escape publicly, and this has two advantages, one is that it does not cause my father to rebel in advance, and the other is that it will not be hunted down by the imperial court and attract the possible hostility of my brother." β
Speaking of this, Wu Yuanming paused, and added solemnly: "In addition to one more thing, after the child leaves Beijing, he doesn't want to go back to Yunnan immediately, he has to go to Jiangnan to find someone first-as for who this person is, please forgive the child for temporarily selling a pass." Because I had to find this key person to return to Yunnan, it would be easier for me to escape from Beijing and move around the rivers and lakes. β
"It doesn't matter who you find, your method is not bad, although there are some small loopholes, but as long as you make up for it, there will be no problem." Yao Qisheng praised Wu Yuanming with a reasonable and rare compliment, and asked Wu Yuanming with a smile: "However, now that there is a great opportunity in front of you, which can completely reverse the moral unfavorable situation of your Wu family, are you still in such a hurry to leave Beijing?" β
"Great opportunity? What a good opportunity? Wu Yuanming was puzzled by Yao Qisheng's words, and hurriedly asked. Yao Qisheng did not answer Wu Yuanming's question, but stared at Wu Yuanming's eyes and asked solemnly, "Child, do you believe in your father-in-law?" How far have you come to trust your stepfather? β
"Of course the child believes in his father." Wu Yuanming replied categorically: "The child's father-in-law is his own father, and the father-in-law treats the child like a parent, if there is no trust between father and son, then what else is trustworthy in the world?" β
"Well said, that's how it should be between father and son." Although he knew that what the cunning and suspicious godson said might not be true, Yao Qisheng was still a little moved in his heart, patted Wu Yuanming's shoulder and said softly: "Your child's personality is very similar to the old name Huazi, cunning, treacherous and insidious, he only asks about the results of his work, and he is extremely vicious to outsiders, but he is very good to his family and lover, it seems to be carved out of the same mold as the old Hanako, and the old Hanako likes it very much." β
"Thank you father-in-law for the compliment." Wu Yuanming couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know whether Yao Qisheng was praising himself or scolding himself. Yao Qisheng said solemnly: "Since you believe in your father-in-law, then you don't have to worry about this matter and don't ask, as long as you do what your father-in-law tells you - you are still younger, and your temper is impulsive, so that you know the purpose and are afraid that you will show flaws." Don't worry, your Hui'er, your father-in-law will try his best to help you rescue you from Yang Qilong's hands, and when the matter is done, the father-in-law will tell you the truth of the matter. β
"What should a child do? Ask the father-in-law to command. Although he knew what Yao Qisheng was doing to hide from him during this time, Wu Yuanming still pretended to listen to the lesson respectfully. Yao Qisheng sorted out his thoughts and said: "From tomorrow onwards, you have to do a few things, the first is to ask Wu Lu to take stock of the accounts and deposit the silver of the silver number, and at the same time, you take some irrelevant letters and books in the study and burn them, pretending to leave." Second, you announced to the public that Hongshao was pregnant with your child, and you were going to let her go back to Yunnan to recuperate and give birth, and arranged for Wu Lu and Shi Jianmei to take people to protect her back to Yunnan; In this way, Yang Qilong can be confused, and secondly, when you use your method to escape from Beijing in the future, you will not have too much worry around you. β
"Understood, the child will arrange it early tomorrow morning." Wu Yuanming agreed obediently. Yao Qisheng took the four treasures of the study room and wrote a note in an unfamiliar handwriting, which contained only two sentences: 'The Rehe Eight Banners Army secretly stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, located in the dense forest north of Badaling. Yao Qisheng handed the note to Wu Yuanming and said: "There is also the secret to send this thing to Aobai, and the handwriting on it is my imitation of the handwriting of the thirteen yamen spies - that day in the Shangu store, I read the letter reported by the thirteen yamen spies to Kong Sizhen and wrote down his handwriting. Even if we are accidentally exposed or stolen from Aobai by someone with a heart, we will not be involved. β
Wu Yuanming knew that Yao Qisheng did this so that Aobai would not fall too early, but Wu Yuanming still had a question, so he asked: "Father-in-law, do you want to say something to Aobai about Kong Sizhen and his gang encircling the middle and lower-level officers of the Fengtai garrison?" β
"You can't tell Aobai." Yao Qisheng shook his head and said: "If my prediction is correct, once Ao Bai knows that there are ambushes in the north of Badaling, he will definitely use the excuse to defend the safety of Gyeonggi, and take the opportunity to transfer the garrisons of Xuanhua and Zhangjiakou to expel this ambush army arranged by the old lady of the Empress Dowager, and it is very likely that he will not leave near Gyeonggi." Rather than letting Aobai's traitors who purge the Fengtai garrison have a complete advantage, it is better to let Kangxi secretly control part of the Fengtai camp, so that the situation in the Gyeonggi area will continue to be chaotic, and the two sides will not be able to decide the winner for a short time, so that we will have time and space to carry out our plan. β
"The father-in-law is really smart, and the child is really admired." Wu Yuanming smiled when he heard this, and couldn't help but give Yao Qisheng a thumbs up. Yao Qisheng's trick is indeed vicious, not only muddying the water more, but also implicating more Manchu troops, once it is a fire and a situation, the more serious the cannibalism in the north, the more beneficial it will be to his family's future rebellion. However, what Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng didn't expect was that both of them seriously underestimated the old lady of Xiaozhuang who couldn't get out of the Forbidden City......

The sky gradually brightened, and according to Yao Qisheng's instructions, Wu Yuanming got up from the bed early, and while arranging for Wu Lu to take stock of the accounts and silver deposits of Citibank Silver, he picked out some irrelevant letters and books and burned them in the yard. Of course, Wu Yuanming's move was naturally seen by Princess Jianning, who had already returned to live at home, but the couple had been strangers since Shi Jianmei's incident, and they never said a word. Seeing Wu Yuanming make such a strange move, Princess Jianning naturally quietly sent the new maid assigned to her by Xiaozhuang into the palace to report, while Wu Yuanming pretended not to see the small actions of this nominal and genuine wife, and only went out to find Ao Bai after all the letters were burned to ashes.
There are two flowers, one branch each, not to mention that Wu Yuanming went to find Aobai to report the news, but said that Wu Yuanming's godfather was always called Huazi Yao Qisheng, and the old name Huazi was probably old, and he slept until after the hour before getting up to wash, and gave Shi Shilun, a student who came to study, a day off, and then took two guards who specially served him out and rushed to Dashilar. Because of the existence of chengguan, the traffic situation in the streets of Beijing has completely improved, so it didn't take much time for the old Hanako to rush to the destination and go directly into a relatively remote silk village.
Entering the store, Yao Qisheng sat on the chair of the Taishi who entertained guests in the silk village, and bowed to one of the guards he brought, and the Wu Sangui guard bowed and strode to the counter, took out a token from his arms and put it on the counter, hugging his chest without saying a word. The guy from the silk village picked up the token to check that it was correct, and then went into the back hall after a confession, and after a while, a thin middle-aged man walked out of the back hall of the silk shop, looked at Yao Qisheng and another guard who came with the Wu Sangui guard, and whispered to the guard who began to show the token: "Why did you bring other people here?" Who are they? β
"They, like me, want to make some scraps of silver." The guard smiled as he showed the token. The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good, but are they reliable?" Don't be a trap set by your family, the first person to be sad at that time is yourself. β
"It's not reliable, just ask your head to come here and find out." Although Yao Qisheng was old, he was deaf and clear-sighted, and after hearing the middle-aged man's whisper, he interjected with a smile: "I know that you are Kong Sizhen's subordinate, go and send her a letter, just say that there is an old man named Huazi who wants to see her, and she will definitely come." β
"What?" The middle-aged man was taken aback, he had been doing errands in the Thirteen Yamen for a long time, but he had never seen that traitor who was ready to betray his master and be so good. However, although Yao Qisheng's appearance was a little obscene, his momentum was really extraordinary, and the middle-aged man didn't dare to be too lazy, and after hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man finally nodded and said: "In this case, a few people please sit in the back hall for a while, use tea first, and the villain will go and invite Sigege to come here." But Sigege can't see the old man, and the villain doesn't dare to guarantee it. β
"Rest assured, you'll be rewarded." Yao Qisheng stood up and walked to the back hall, and said in a big way as he walked: "It's best to prepare a room with a bed for the old man Hanako, maybe your four squares will also reward the old man Hanako." Yao Qisheng's words surprised the middle-aged man again - they knew very well what means Kong Sizhen used to reward his subordinates, and they were busy directing people to lead Yao Qisheng and others into the back hall to entertain them, and secretly ordered their subordinates to keep this silk shop and the surrounding streets under strict control, so they hurried to find Kong Sizhen.
β¦β¦
I waited for about half an hour drinking tea in the back room - there was really a bed in the room, and the guy from the silk village carried a tea tray into the room where Yao Qisheng was, replaced the tea that Yao Qisheng originally used, and said with a smile: "Master, please taste, this is the arrangement above, and I specially gave you the good tea that you brewed." β
"yes, what's a good tea?" Yao Qisheng only took a sip of tea, and immediately scolded: "Damn, Jiangnan Boudoir Tea!" It is worthy of the thirteen yamen who directly allocated money by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is really rich. "It turns out that the tea offered by the silk village is a very rare boudoir tea - also known as daughter tea, this kind of tea is produced in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the yellow flower girl of the Jiangnan tea production area in the early morning before the rain with her lips from the number of tea, put it in a personal sachet to cover it with body temperature, and the price is extremely expensive. Yao Qisheng lived to be more than fifty years old, and this is only the second time he has tasted it.
"Mr. Yao is wrong, this tea is more expensive than gold, even if we are from the thirteen yamen, we usually don't have a taste of it, only when a distinguished guest like Mr. Yao comes, we are willing to take it out to entertain." A delicate voice came from outside the room, and then, Kong Sizhen wore a set of moon white cedar, dressed up in a fancy way into the room, and bowed deeply to Yao Qisheng, and said coquettishly: "Slave Kong Sizhen, I have seen Mr. Yao, Mr. Wanfu." β
"Sigege, please get up, I always call Hanako dare not be it." Yao Qisheng got up and personally picked up Kong Sizhen, and by the way, he caressed Kong Sizhen's tender arm, looking like an old immodest and an old pervert. Kong Sizhen was not angry, but just waved his hand to drive out the silk village guys who were accompanying him in the room, and it was not until the two guards brought by Yao Qisheng also drove out that Kong Sizhen covered the door, turned around and smiled at Yao Qisheng: "Sizhen really didn't expect that the person who revealed Yang Qilong's news to Sizhen was actually instructed by Mr. Yao behind his back. It's just that I don't know if Mr. Yao did this for Mr. Yao's righteous son? Or is it for Mr. Yao himself? β
"Sigege is so smart, who is Hanako for, Sigege shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?" Yao Qisheng's obscene old face showed a hint of obscenity, and he pulled Kong Sizhen to his lap and sat down, and his thin old hand reached directly into Kong Sizhen's clothes and stroked her plump breasts. Kong Sizhen didn't resist, but just poked out his white finger and put it on Yao Qisheng's forehead, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yao is so old and treacherous, if Sizhen can guess it, that day on the Dongxing Tower, Sizhen will not be played around by Mr. Yao with a silver ticket." β
"Do you want to know? If you want to know, you'll have to pay the price. Yao Qisheng smiled lewdly and slowly untied Kong Sizhen's clothes, Kong Sizhen also untied Yao Qisheng's clothes, and said charmingly: "Since the old gentleman doesn't think Sizhen is a broken flower and a willow, then Sizhen is naturally willing to pay the price." As she spoke, Kong Sizhen took the initiative to put her cherry lips on Yao Qisheng's dry lips, and the tender little fragrant tongue slid directly into Yao Qisheng's mouth and stirred......
After a long time on the bed, Yao Qisheng finally gasped and lay on his back on the bed, because he had only fought with the generals of Fengtai last night, Kong Sizhen was also a little tired, leaning on Yao Qisheng's arms to pant and rest, but his fingers were still sliding on Yao Qisheng's body, as if to seduce this man who was old enough to be her father to do it again. After resting for a while, Yao Qisheng asked, "How is Wu Ciyou doing now?" Can you still give advice to the emperor? β
"That hypocrite's body is about the same as that of Mr. Yaoβthe same in bed, and now he is still lying on the hospital bed and unable to move." Kong Sizhen rubbed Yao Qisheng's chest with pepper milk, and said disdainfully: "That day in Shi Lang's house, he was jealous of the fact that he could encourage the emperor to give up on you, and the old ancestor of the Empress Dowager also told the emperor that now he knew that the emperor who had been fooled was angry with that hypocrite, if it wasn't for the old ancestor to stop him, the emperor would have asked the imperial doctor to add some ingredients to the medicine used by that hypocrite, so that the hypocrite festered all over his body and died." β
"I don't understand, that hypocrite's tongue was broken by me, why did the Empress Dowager keep his dog's life?" Yao Qisheng's tone was filled with anger, as if he was still hating Wu Ciyou's bad medicine for the emperor at Shi Lang's house that day. Kong Sizhen smiled and said in a flattering voice: "That hypocrite looks at people accurately, and the few people around the emperor who have to be used are all recommended by him." In the past, when Wu Yingxiong was still pretending to be a pig, he Wu Ciyou saw at a glance that Wu Yingxiong was not an ordinary person, and you Mr. Yao, he also saw at a glance that your talent and learning ability were above him - that's why he provoked the emperor to give up on you. The ancestor kept him, just to prepare to let him go to the people, and use his ability to know people to find a few more useful talents for the emperor. β
"Hmph, I hope he can get rid of his narrow-mindedness." Yao Qisheng snorted dissatisfiedly, stroked Kong Sizhen's tender face and asked: "Sigege, if the old Huazi wants to take Wu Ciyou's place, I don't know if Sigege is willing to recommend the old Huazi in front of the emperor?" β
"Does Mr. Yao really have the heart to serve the royal family?" Although he had been mentally prepared, when Yao Qisheng said it himself, Kong Sizhen still sat up with his arms on the bed in surprise, and didn't care that his plump and straight breasts were completely exposed in front of Yao Qisheng, but asked repeatedly: "Mr. Yao, you shouldn't be joking, right?" Don't hide it from Mr. Yao, the emperor and the empress dowager sighed in front of Sizhen more than once, regretting that they missed a great talent like Mr. Yao, but Wu Yingxiong's guy treated Mr. Yao really well, and treated Mr. Yao with the respect of the son of the world with the courtesy of his father, so Sizhen never dared to boast that he could win Mr. for the emperor. If Mr. is really willing to serve the court, it is not only the luck of the four chastity, but also the great luck of the court. β
Speaking of this, the surprise on Kong Sizhen's face disappeared, and a grim cold light flashed in Danfeng's eyes, and he said coldly: "It's just that Mr. Yao is trying to play some tricks?" Use Sizhen to achieve Mr. Yao's ulterior purpose, right? β
"Then what does the old Hanako have to do to make Sigege believe in the sincerity of the old Hanako?" Yao Qisheng put one hand behind his head, and the other hand played with Kong Sizhen's pepper milk, and asked with a smile: "Killing the godson of the old man called Huazi is enough to prove the sincerity of the old man called Huazi, right?" It's not that Hanako always boasts about herself, but Hanako's ability to poison is definitely not under the four grids. β
"Kill Wu Yingxiong? Sizhen didn't dare to make decisions about this matter. Kong Sizhen held down Yao Qisheng's hand swimming in front of his chest, and said solemnly: "Mr. Yao, Sizhen solemnly asks you, why did you abandon Wu Yingxiong and become the emperor instead?" β
"It's simple." Yao Qisheng pinched Kong Sizhen's **, and said lightly: "After the fall of Aobai, the emperor's next target is definitely the three feudatories, the imperial court has nearly one million soldiers, Wu Sangui only has 30,000 troops, and there is not even a grain-producing area, and the difference in strength is huge. But the old Hanako doesn't want to die, and he still wants to live in the world for a few more years, thinking about it, the old Hanako has to go to the court to beat him Wu Sangui is the safest. β
"Yes, Mr. Yao's words make a lot of sense." Kong Sizhen asked suspiciously: "Then why didn't Mr. Yao think about serving the court before, but chose to find Sizhen to contact Mr. Sizhen at this time?" β
"The emperor left an edict, and he always called Huazi to end up with an official position that could only be lowered but not promoted, and he was always called Huazi who had no way to serve the court before. In addition, Wu Ciyou's jealous villain made a hindrance, and it blocked the way for the old Hanako to advance, so the old Hanako had no choice but to go to his godson's house to enjoy a few days of Qingfu. Yao Qisheng explained: "But now it's different, one is that the emperor and the empress dowager already know the ability of the old man called Huazi, and the other is that Wu Ciyou's guy was made a waste by the old man Hanako, and the emperor lacks a think tank, so the old man has a chance to climb up." β
"Really?" Kong Sizhen pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then leaned down to Yao Qisheng's ear, exhaled like an orchid, and said in a flattering voice: "Mr. Yao, your words are indeed impeccable, but Mr. Yao is really too treacherous, treacherous to the point that Sizhen can't believe it." If Mr. Yao really wants to serve the imperial court, can Mr. Yao come up with something to prove his sincerity? β
"This old man is called Hanako." Yao Qisheng pinched Kong Sizhen's face and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, Wu Yingxiong colluded with Yang Qilong of Zhong Sanlang Xianghui, and planned to take advantage of the opportunity that the emperor and Ao Bai had not yet decided the victory or defeat and did not dare to attack Wu Sangui, and escaped from Beijing in these two or three days." β
"No wonder Wu Yingxiong burned the letters at home today, and arranged for his pregnant concubine to leave first." A cold light flashed in Kong Sizhen's eyes, and he asked repeatedly, "What method did he use?" What means to escape from Beijing? Do you know the exact time? β
"The specific time and means have not been arranged, but Yang Qilong should go to Wu Yingxiong tomorrow night, and he will know everything by then." Yao Qisheng put his arms around Kong Sizhen, gnawed her thoughtful and charming face, and said with a lewd smile: "Little beauty, I always asked Huazi to give you another generous gift, according to the observation of Huazi, that Yang Qilong is not only the chief incense master of Zhong Sanlang's incense club, but also the third prince of Zhu who disappeared in the previous dynasty!" If the two of us join forces, not only Wu Yingxiong won't be able to escape from Beijing, but the third prince of Zhu won't be able to escape from the palm of our hands! β
In the face of his godfather's betrayal, where should Wu Yuanming go? Did Yao Qisheng really betray his godson? For more information on what happened next, see the next chapter.
