Chapter 727: All parties have conditions to save the tiger
It's a brand new day, and the daytime in the capital is similar to that in the south, and it's so hot.
Leopard room.
Yao Yuling and Wang Qianwen came to the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, we have asked Lord Wang yesterday, and he said that he has not been an official for a long time, and he led the troops to fight this time, just to make contributions." Wang Qianwen said.
"So, this matter is caused by his quick success." The emperor asked.
"The Emperor Mingjian." Yao Yuling said.
When the emperor heard Wang Qianwen and them say this, he had some bottom in his heart, and Liu Jin didn't want Wang Laohu to die, although they had different ideas, at least everyone was unified on this point.
"Wang Laohu's dispatch to Jiangxi is indeed a violation of my Ming Dynasty's laws, but the purpose of the division is to resist the king of Ning, and the other is to make contributions for himself. Wang Qianwen said.
"Do you think merit can be offset?" The emperor deliberately said, "Why do I look at him more than he does it?" If the other soldiers of the Ming Dynasty follow the example of Wang Laohu, won't the Ming Dynasty be chaotic? The emperor had already heard that Liu Jin wanted to exonerate Wang Laohu, but it was also possible that Liu Jin had set himself up, so he deliberately said so.
Yao Yuling rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it a matter of your words to say which merit is greater or lesser?" ”
The emperor smiled, he basically knew that Liu Jin also wanted to let Wang Laohu go, and now he just had to follow his meaning and send a word.
"But, Your Majesty. Lord Wang seems to have been poisoned. ”
"Poisonous?" Of course, the emperor didn't believe that this was true, the chess pieces he had painstakingly arranged, if he was poisoned and died like this, his mind would be ruined, and what he had done before, at least all the thoughts spent on Wang Laohu would be wasted, "Can he still live?" ”
"He himself knows the poison in his body, and he says that there is only one person in the whole world who can cure him."
"With such a mysterious poison, even the imperial doctor of the palace can't do anything?" Although the emperor said this, his heart was more anxious than anyone else.
Jin Yiwei cell.
"General Wang, good news, good news." Lord Kuang came this time, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he brought good news to Wang Laohu.
"The good news that Lord Kwong said is ......" Wang Laohu wanted further confirmation.
"Chitose promised to intercede with you." Kwong Da Humane.
Wang Laohu was very excited when he heard such news, as long as Liu Jin agreed to let him go, other things would not be a problem, "Lord Kuang, for saving your life, how do you want me to thank you." ”
"Alas, you and I are both people who serve Chitose Lord, how can you say such a thing? However......" From Lord Kuang's rambling words, Wang Laohu seemed to hear something.
"Chitose Ye said that you secretly sell cosmetics for women in the capital, what kind of water?" It turned out that Lord Kuang already knew about some of the businesses that Wang Laohu was doing in the capital. Wang Laohu is a smart person, and of course he knows what Lord Kuang means by saying this. This cosmetics are not only sold well in Yihong Mansion, but also sold well among the wives of dignitaries, and they are often out of stock. These things can sometimes cost several times more expensive on the black market.
Such a booming business, of course, everyone likes it.
"I am very pleased that these cosmetics have been recognized by everyone, but the production capacity is low, and there are only a few bottles a day. However, Lord Kwong is my savior, and the distribution of cosmetics will be handed over to you from now on. ”
Master Kuang smiled and said, "I didn't expect General Wang to be not only good at war, but also have such a good business mind. I heard that you are also known as the 'Holy Hand of Gold' among the people. ”
"This is the joking name of some business friends to me, don't take it seriously."
"Haha, General Wang is really modest." Kuang Dadao, "General Wang will work hard in the prison for a few more days, and in a few days, we will take you out in a beautiful way." ”
"I thank Master Kwong here." With such an affirmative reply from Master Kuang, Wang Laohu was temporarily relieved. But he knew that Liu Jin could not save him unconditionally, and he would ask for more things besides the right to operate his cosmetics. But now Wang Laohu has to save his life before he can talk about other places. He longed to see the emperor immediately, but when will the emperor contact him?
I don't know.
Three days later, Wang Laohu was released from the prison, but there was one condition: Wang Laohu could not leave the capital in the next few days.
The first thing he did when he came out was to visit his aunt and uncle.
"Grandmother, I was supposed to come to see you earlier, but I had to complete some official business in the capital first, so I didn't take the time to come until today."
"Wang Shisun, you will send people to see me every year, although my family is in the middle of the road, but you see that the materials in my room are still so rich."
"This is what I should do, my uncle and grandfather took care of our Wang family in the early years, and now you are in trouble, of course I should repay you."
Old Madam Ding had tears in her eyes and said, "I didn't expect that in the end, the Ding Mansion would have to rely on Wang Shisun to support it. ”
"Don't say that, as long as I have something to eat, I won't be hungry for you." Wang Laohu said, "If there is a chance, if possible, I will move to the capital, so that I can take better care of you." ”
"It would be great if Wang Shisun could come to the capital. If you know that you are coming to the capital as an official, you will be very pleased. ”
"Why didn't I see Sister Daiyun when I came this time?" Wang Laohu asked.
Old Madam Ding stood up, paced a few steps in the room, and said to Wang Laohu: "Daiyun, she is already married." ”
"Married?" Wang Laohu said.
"The Ding family is in the middle of the road, and other people with heads and faces are unwilling to intersect with us, but the Zhao family is
Don't dislike us. ”
"You mean that Sister Daiyun married into the Zhao Mansion?"
Old Madam Ding nodded.
"Sister Daiyun is also married to a good family. I was also relieved. As soon as Wang Laohu's words were finished, a familiar girl broke into Wang Laohu's eyes, she came to pour tea for Wang Laohu.
Jin Ling, it turns out that this girl is still in Dingfu. Wang Laohu looked at her.
"Jin Ling, you stay." Old Madam Ding seemed to see Wang Laohu's thoughts, "I already knew that you were interested in Jinling, and our Ding Mansion can't accommodate too many subordinates, so Jinling will follow you in the future." ”
Wang Laohu wanted to resign, but if he thought about it, the Ding Mansion was no longer the Ding Mansion of the past, and Wang Laohu had also promised to take Jin Ling back. Mrs. Ding gave Jin Ling to Wang Laohu, which just fulfilled his two wishes, "I am here to thank my grandmother, I am short of such a girl around me." Wang Laohu thanked.
Old Madam Ding smiled, "Let's have a light meal here tonight." ”
The lively Ding Mansion is now a little deserted, and Wang Laohu thought about it, so he stayed.
After dinner, Wang Laohu came out of Ding's mansion with an extra girl by his side, and this person was Jin Ling. The matter of sending troops without permission has come to an end, and Wang Laohu also handed over Hou Ping, Qi Lian, King Kang and others to the Criminal Department. "Miss Jinling, when the time comes, I want to go back to Hangzhou, and you will go back with me."
Jin Ling didn't say much, but answered softly.
What Wang Laohu didn't expect was that only one day later, Lord Kuang invited someone to come and let him come over.
Of course, Wang Laohu didn't dare to slack off, and brought Rong Yu to Kuang's Mansion immediately.
"Lord Kuang, Lord Kuang, I don't know what you called me here today, what's the matter?" Wang Laohu knows that at this juncture, he can't make a wrong move, let alone act rashly, whether the emperor can see it is still unknown, and now he can only take one step at a time.
"General Wang, you are so lucky this time, you have met a good master, so this matter can be ended so quickly."
"It's over?" Wang Laohu heard something, and the end means that this matter is really over, and the restriction that he can't leave the capital should also be over, "It's all up to Lord Kuang to maneuver around, I'm grateful." ”
Lord Kuang waved his hand and smiled, "We all have a good master, and we all have to serve Chitose Master wholeheartedly." ”
"Yes, yes, my life was given by Chitose Lord, and I naturally have to do things for Chitose Lord." Wang Laohu said.
"I heard that you are going to Tujia to detoxify yourself."
"Yes, that's what I'm going to do."
"Chitose Master, there is one thing entrusted to you to do now." Wang Laohu didn't expect that as soon as he came out, Liu Jin sent him a task, "What task did Master Chitose give me?" ”
"The Tujia family in Hunan has always been dissatisfied with the jurisdiction of the court, although they are Tujia, but they have never obeyed our management, this time, Chitose Lord hopes that you can bring back a few unmarried women of the Tujia family and dedicate them to the emperor." Kwong Da Humane.
Wang Laohu listened to it and knew something, this is a bit like the emperor's draft, women have to participate in the draft when they reach a certain age. "Chitose Master handed over this matter to me?"
"This Hunan Tujia is one, in addition, you know that the emperor is in the leopard room all day long, the women in it are not new, and the south of the Yangtze River is rich in beauties in Suzhou and Hangzhou, you go back to Hangzhou this time, Chitose Lord hopes that you can bring back a hundred unmarried women to the emperor." Kwong Da Humane.
Wang Laohu understood, this was the first task given to him by Liu Jin, "Lord Kuang, do you have any instructions?" ”
"You're saying you need the emperor's edict?"
Wang Laohu smiled and said, "With the oracle, this matter will be very easy." ”
"There is no handword."
"That'...... Is there an official letter from Chitose? ”
"There are no official letters either."
Wang Laohu understood that this matter was not a regular draft, he was just a folk woman that Liu Jin was looking for for the emperor in private, and after a long time, after the emperor got tired of it, these poor people had a miserable fate, where to go. Such an immoral thing, Liu Jin handed it over to himself, Wang Laohu can't refuse, but to find a hundred unmarried women from the people to the capital, how difficult is this?
"Master Kuang, I wonder when these women will want it?"
"Of course, the sooner the better, you know that it has been half a year since the last batch of women arrived in the leopard room, and the emperor is not fresh for a long time, so, General Wang, this matter must be done as soon as possible." Kwong Da Humane.
Wang Laohu nodded.
But he knew in his heart that what he was going to do about this matter, if it was before, he would definitely not hesitate to grab these people, but now, he is no longer the previous Wang Laohu, if he doesn't help Liu Jin complete this matter, he won't be able to get his trust, and it is even more difficult to help the emperor eradicate the Eight Tigers.
After all, the emperor has no real power now, and he has no military power in the capital.
Only by carefully handling this matter can Wang Laohu further enter the Liu Jin Group. But how do you do it yourself? This is a hurtful thing, obviously cruelty to these unmarried women, between right and wrong, big and small, between the king and the people, Wang Laohu has to distinguish the pros and cons and make a trade-off.
Out of Kuang's Mansion, the crux of Wang Laohu's heart was that he couldn't open it, there was no reason for Wang Laohu not to do a good job in this matter, but to do it well, it was not so simple.
Temporary accommodation.
Wang Laohu sat down, and Jin Ling brought Wang Laohu a cup of tea.
Wang Laohu smiled, picked up the teacup and said, "Miss Jinling, what kind of tea did you make me today?" ”
"Back to Wang Gongzi, this is Longjing in Zhejiang."
"You know I'm good at it."
"I've been a girl in Dingfu for a long time, so I naturally know what kind of tea people drink in what place."
Jin Lingdao.
Wang Laohu nodded, "Although Longjing is delicious, in fact, my favorite drink is Huibai, Huibai tea has a strong taste, and you can drink a lot of juice when you soak it." ”
"But the dignitaries and nobles in the capital don't like to drink it very much."
"The price of white is civilian, and of course the dignitaries don't want to drink it." Wang Laohu said, "Tomorrow, I will leave the capital, go to Hunan, and then go back to Zhejiang, is Miss Jinling willing to go with me?" ”
"I am now the prince of the prince's person, I will go wherever you go." Jin Ling Dao.
"Okay......" Before Wang Laohu finished speaking, his chest ached for a while, this damn angina came again, he wanted to hold back, he couldn't bear it if he couldn't do anything, this love Gu poison, the more he ended up, not only did the attack time become shorter, but it became more and more uncomfortable. Wang Laohu's forehead was beads of sweat rolling down. Jin Ling had never seen Wang Laohu like this, and was a little panicked, and said, "Wang Gongzi, what's wrong with you, so uncomfortable." I'm going to get you a guy. ”
"No, you don't." Wang Laohu gritted his teeth and said, "It will be more complete after a while......"
Wang Laohu endured the pain of the invasion of thousands of insects, covered his chest with his hands, and kept rubbing, but now it didn't seem to be like before, and he could stop it immediately. Jin Ling shouted: "General Qi, General Qi." ”
Qi Shun heard the shout and hurriedly ran in, Rong Yu also arrived as soon as possible, and when he saw Wang Laohu's painful appearance, he knew that it was the poison attack in his body, but he couldn't do anything about it. "The poison on Childe's body is getting worse and worse." Rong Yu said.
"yes, that's worrying." Qi Shun said, "Rong Yu, I will hold down the son with you." At this moment, Wang Laohu was already rolling on the ground because of pain, this was the first time he had rolled on the ground in pain since he was poisoned, Qishun couldn't bear to watch Wang Laohu suffer and roll, so he wanted to hold Wang Laohu with Rong Yu.
The two pounced, Qi Shun held Wang Laohu's hands, and Rong Yu held Wang Laohu's legs. As soon as he pressed down, Wang Laohu was wielding hard, his strength was great, and when he was in pain, this strength was even greater, Qi Shun just held his hand, and Wang Laohu waved his hand to push Qi Shun away.
Qishun fell upside down.
Wang Laohu's legs glared, Rong Yu was unstable, and then Wang Laohu was thrown off, and Rong Yu also fell to the side.
The two of them pounced on Wang Laohu again, and the severe pain made Wang Laohu swing and shake again, and the two of them could not hold Wang Laohu down. Jin Ling was also helpless on the side.
For a while, the pain passed. The three of them were all lying on the ground tired, with their feet on their backs. "Childe, your strength is so great." Qi Shun.
Wang Laohu had just recovered from the pain and said to the two: "The three of us big men fell here, but it was made a joke by Miss Jinling." ”
Jin Ling said: "No, no, Wang Gongzi, are you poisoned?" ”
Wang Laohu said: "How can the poison be good for itself? It's just that now it's too much, and my poison must pass through her hands to solve it. ”
"Then we're going to detoxify." Jin Ling Dao.
"Things in the capital are finally settled, and we will leave tomorrow." Wang Laohu said.
At dawn, Wang Laohu and the others left the capital and went to Tujia, Hunan.
The team of more than 2,000 people is mighty, Qishun rode a horse, leading the soldiers to open the way in front, Wang Laohu himself and Jin Ling sat in the carriage, the two were not lonely all the way, Zhang Zheng rode a horse close to the Wang Laohu's palanquin. Finally, there is the Tiger Army led by Rong Yu.
The road to Tujia was not smooth, Wang Laohu had pain attacks on the road I don't know how many times, every time Jin Ling was scared and yelled, the interval between his attacks was getting shorter and shorter, and the number of times was increasing.
"Wang Gongzi, where is the person you are talking about detoxifying? We've walked so far, why haven't we gotten there yet? Jin Ling was very worried.
"This detoxification person just wants me to taste the pain of Gu poison, without the experience of physical pain, how can I know how to cherish it?" Wang Laohu said.
"I hear that you seem to have something to say, but I don't understand it as a girl."
"It's coming, it's coming. By the time I have a seizure once a day, the detoxifier will be there. Wang Laohu said.
"Wang Gongzi, until now, you are still joking."
"Am I kidding? Now I am also afraid of this poisonous attack, not only the pain is unbearable, but it is really impossible for people to survive and die. ”
"The person who poisoned is really ruthless, how can he get such a heavy hand."
"You're speaking for me, and if it's your enemy, you'll be very heavy."
"Wang Gongzi, is the person who poisoned your enemy?"
"Haha, that's what I thought too......"
Hunan, high mountains and Junling, only here is a unique mountain that has been chopped by a knife, and the stones on the mountain are split straight down. There are occasional trees growing in the stone, but this lonely tree is lush, outside the carriage, Zhang Zheng said: "Childe, we have reached the border of Hunan." ”
Wang Laohu lifted the curtain on the carriage, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said, "Hunan, I'm back again." As he spoke, he continued to say to Zhang Zhengdao, "Let's continue walking." ”
When I arrived in Hunan, Tujia was almost there. Wang Laohu thought that the poison on his body would be cured immediately, and he would be able to see his fourth wife.
But he couldn't be happy himself, because Liu Jin gave him a task in addition to a task, asking him to bring a few unmarried Tujia women from the Tujia back to the capital, this time in the capital, Wang Laohu knew that there was more luck and less luck, which family's parents would let them go to the capital, not to mention that this is the Tujia family.
As soon as Wang Laohu thought of this, he sighed again, he opened the curtain again, and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, but this pleasant scenery is still as usual, just like what he saw at the beginning, but why is his current state of mind different?
