Jiang Yuquan had a matter on his mind, and slept very peacefully that night, but Wang Qiang couldn't sleep when he tossed and turned. He originally thought that he would not be able to live, and there were no superfluous thoughts in his heart, but he ate and slept well along the way, but now he has the hope of living, but he suffers from gains and losses a lot:

"Can you escape this catastrophe, it is said that the emperor treats him well, won't he lose some food, and really kill me? It's a big deal, just take the treasure Jiang Yuquan said and pay it to the emperor! ”

"What if we get lucky enough to get through this this time? What should I do in the future? Stay at the palace? It's not a long thing, I'm a fake eunuch, and sooner or later I won't be able to hide it! ”

"Where can I go without leaving the palace? If you don't succeed in Li Zicheng, it is better to escape with Li Yan and them at the beginning. Cast Manchu Qing, bah, isn't that a traitor? Like Wu Sangui, who bears the infamy of the previous life, it is better to kill me. ”

"That's right, I've seen Chen Yuanyuan, but what about Wu Sangui, why haven't I heard of it all this time. Chen Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, I was reincarnated in the Ming Dynasty and actually saw the most beautiful woman in history, and it was not in vain, if I could marry Yuanyuan as a wife, I would not change it even if I was an emperor. But people are round and fairy-like characters, let's not think about it as a little eunuch. By the way, if you can survive this time, you should find a chance to redeem Yuanyuan, now that we are rich, we can redeem your body made of gold. ”

"You said I didn't learn much in the first place, and the math formulas and English words I memorized were useless in this troubled world. Why didn't you practice some martial arts or anything in the first place, how beautiful it is to be a hero here and a general. ”

"Don't say that you don't have any skills, we are also people from modern society, and if we know so many things, maybe it will help, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is an example. Since God has given him this opportunity to return to this world, he can't go on like this anymore, he has to live a little bit of movement, and he can't walk in this world in vain. ”

"Now I can protect myself by relying on the big tree of Chongzhen, but what will I do in a few years, although this Chongzhen is very diligent, but the ministers below are too corrupt, look at this posture Chongzhen will have to hang sooner or later, and he will not end well at that time, so he will not be hanged with the emperor, right?"

"If you want to gain a foothold, you still have to cultivate your own power, as long as you have the strength, no one is afraid, just like Wei Zhongxian, the powerful can decide the abolition of the emperor, then there is nothing to be afraid of, of course, you can't be like Wei Zhongxian to bring disaster to the country and the people, leaving a reputation for eternity."

Wang Qiang was thinking wildly, and he didn't know how much time passed before he fell asleep.

After about two days of darkness and daylight, Wang Qiang's cell was locked up again, this person was tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looked like a military man, and that person was also imprisoned after being beaten 20 times of tenon and tenon, Wang Qiang saw that there was a newcomer again, and took the initiative to come over and greet him: "This old man, your surname?" How did you get in? ”

The man glanced at Wang Qiang arrogantly, and did not answer, Wang Qiang was a little embarrassed, and Shanshan said: "Oh, my name is Wang Qiang, and I just came in two days ago." That was Grandpa Jiang. After speaking, he pointed to Jiang Yuquan in the corner.

The man only glanced at Gonggong Jiang, then stared at Wang Qiang up and down for a while and said, "Wang Qiang! You are the little eunuch Qincha who killed the official in Yanzhou Mansion and released grain, and then returned to Beijing with his own shackles to ask for guilt? ”

"yes, you've heard that, too?"

The man hugged his fist at Wang Qiang and said: "Your matter has long been spread all over the country, I heard that you waved the sword above and ordered those officials to release grain, but Yang Lichang did not obey and was beheaded by you with a sword!" Hahahaha, good killing, this corrupt official kills one less one. ”

Wang Qiang was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, seeing so many people starving, it's really hard to get over it with a conscience if you don't give charity, and it's the same if you change someone else." By the way, what are you? ”

"Oh, my name is Shang Dayong, he is under Hong Dashuai, just because he led the troops to kill Sun Ping, the garrison of Tongcheng, and missed the military plane, this time he was escorted into Beijing by Hong Dashuai to lead him to death." This Shang Dayong is a fighting man, and when it comes to leading death, he is still calm.

"Oh, I've heard about you, mainly because you don't have food to make trouble." Wang Qiang nodded and said.

"That's not true, I killed this Sun Ping to take revenge!" Shang Dayong said hatefully.

"Really? Didn't the newspaper say that the mutiny was due to unpaid wages? Wang Qiang asked puzzled.

"Hehe, that's a long story." Shang Dayong raised his head, as if trying to remember something, and after a while, he began to tell the story in a low tone------

It turned out that this Shang Dayong was a fierce general under Hong Chengchou, he was also born as a poor peasant, and after joining the army, he first became Hong Chengchou's guard soldier, because of his brave combat and repeated military exploits, he was promoted to deputy general. This time on the northwest front, he was ordered to lead more than 4,000 horses to be stationed at the Majiayu Pass on the west side of Tongcheng, where the terrain is dangerous, and it is the choke point that guards Shangluo Mountain into the Henan border. Because the imperial court has been in arrears of food and wages, his troops have not paid salaries for three months, and what is even worse is that the supply of military food is also insufficient, and the soldiers only have less than four taels of food a day, so the morale of the entire army is low, and there are frequent escapes, which makes Shang Dayong very depressed. The officers and soldiers stationed in Tongcheng, which was close at hand, had sufficient food, and it turned out that Sun Ping, the garrison of Tongcheng, was the nephew of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, and was a tyrant in Tongcheng. He took advantage of the convenience of Tongcheng to transfer the food and salary of various troops, wantonly withheld the food and salary to the front line, and spent all day drinking, not only that, but this Sun Ping also instructed his subordinates to select beautiful women among the hungry people and grab them in the barracks for his sexual pleasure. Shang Dayong and his men held a grudge against Sun Ping, but they dared not speak out.

On the afternoon of this day, Shang Dayong and several cronies were discussing in the tent, and the soldiers came in to report that there was a young man at the gate of the barracks who asked to see him, and when the soldiers brought the young man in to see, it was actually his own brother Xiao Yong, Xiao Yong saw Shang Dayong, and suddenly knelt on the ground, crying loudly, and shouted: "Brother, you have to avenge our father and mother!" Then Xiao Yong whimpered and said the situation, it turned out that Sun Dayong's home in the countryside was also affected, the family came out to flee, and heard that Shang Dayong was stationed near Tongcheng, so his parents, younger brother, and wife went to Tongcheng to find him, but they just arrived in Tongcheng that day, and just met Sun Ping to come out to inspect, that Sun Ping saw that Shang Dayong's wife had a bit of a posture, and couldn't help but have a bad heart, and instructed his subordinates to rob people, Shang Dayong's parents stepped forward to block, and was killed by Sun Ping on the street at that time, Xiao Yong took advantage of the chaos to escape, Shang Dayong's wife was plundered by Sun Ping. Xiao Yong heard that Shang Dayong was in Majiayu, so he rushed to report the news. When Shang Dayong heard the bad news, his eyes were red with anger like five thunderbolts. Shang Dayong's subordinate several partial generals are his hardcore brothers, heard about this and bombed the camp at once, that night Shang Dayong led his 4,000 officers and soldiers into Tongcheng, killed the garrison Sun Ping, and also set up blood in Tongcheng.

Shang Dayong finished talking about what happened, because he talked about the death of his parents and the humiliation of his wife, a sad and indignant look appeared on his face, Wang Qiang listened, and felt very sympathetic to this Shang Dayong in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "What happened to Sister-in-law Shang?" ”

"Ahem! I'm late, my mother-in-law is a fierce person, she was insulted, and she broke off on her own, Sun Ping, this bastard! Shang Dayong's eyes showed a fierce light, and he obviously hadn't resolved his hatred yet.

Wang Qiang patted Shang Dayong's hand and comforted: "Okay, if you kill that bastard, you can be regarded as avenging your sister-in-law." Hey, by the way, since you've mutinied, why are you being escorted into Beijing again, why don't you ------?"

"After I occupied Tongcheng, Hong Dashuai personally rushed to Tongcheng to suppress, I was summoned by Dashuai, Dashuai and I have kindness, and I didn't plan to rebel, just to take revenge, now the revenge is also avenged, why bother to involve Dashuai and his brothers, so I followed Dashuai into Beijing to lead death." Shang Dayong said nonchalantly.

Wang Qiang secretly praised himself: This is really a good man who dares to be a hero, if he can get away with it, he must make this friend.

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, the jailer sent breakfast, which was a lot richer than before, Wang Qiang and the monk Dayong devoured and drank, Wang Qiang saw that Jiang Gonggong did not move his chopsticks, so he said: "Jiang Gonggong, you should also eat quickly, this meal is good today." ”

Father-in-law Jiang shook his head silently and said, "This meal is for you, I can't eat it." ”

Wang Qiang was chewing a large piece of beef in his mouth, and asked Jiang's father-in-law vaguely: "This, how did you say this, how did you prepare it for us?" ”

"This is called a send-off meal, and the two of you will have to go to the court later, this is also the rule of Dongchang, don't kill hungry ghosts." Father-in-law Jiang said faintly.

"Ahh When Wang Qiang heard this, he jumped up in shock, the piece of beef was swallowed halfway, and he almost choked him, but Shang Dayong's face did not change, and the rest of the food was swept away.

As soon as the meal was finished, several wolf-like Dongchang soldiers rushed into the cell, put shackles on Wang Qiang and monk Dayong, and escorted them to the noon gate with iron chains.
