Chapter 139: Each has its own ruthless moves

After repeated discussions, Xiong Cixu and Kong Sizhen reported to Xiao Mazi like this. The first point: The secret agent under the command of Dai Liangchen, the governor of Guilin, Guangxi, found that Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, secretly explored the geology and landform of Phoenix Mountain in Nanning Prefecture, Guangxi three times in his early years, and the reason is not known, but it is known that the exploration time is from the eighth year of Kang Mazi in the Great Qing Dynasty to the ninth year of Kang Mazi.

The second point: In the middle of March of the tenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Lu Yifeng, who was the outgoing official of the Western Election, suddenly rushed to Nanning, under the pretext of being framed, and went to Nanning to seek refuge in the capital of Nanning, and won the trust of the father and son of the line.

The third point: Dai Liangchen's secret agents discovered again that in late March, Lu Yifeng secretly persuaded Lian Guoan and his son to betray the imperial court and the Dingnan Palace, and took the Nanning garrison as a gift to join the Pingxi Palace, but the specific result is unknown!

The fourth point: In early April, Lu Yifeng suddenly instigated Yu Xuan, the deputy capital of Nanning, the son of Lian Guoan, to send a large amount of manpower and material resources to explore the mountainous area of Phoenix Mountain, and discovered a high-grade silver mine with amazing reserves in the area of Dingbantou! - As for the specific reserves, it is still unknown.

If it was changed to usual, hearing such a suspicious report, and thinking of what Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cizhen usually did to Lu Fatzi, Xiao Mazi would not immediately believe this report, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cixu also had to take out their net worth as their surname according to the countermeasures prepared in advance, and guarantee that this report would not be a lie, so that Xiao Mazi made up his mind to take Lu Fatzi into Beijing to ask for the crime.

may be Lu Fatzi's bad luck, to the surprise of Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cixu, just when they were about to fan the flames in front of Xiao Mazi, Fujian suddenly sent a six-hundred-mile urgent report - the current King of Jingnan, Geng Jimao, died of illness! Geng Jingzhong, who wore a pair of pants almost with Wu Sangui, inherited the prince of Jingnan and officially controlled the entire territory of Fujian! And on the court, Xiao Mazi was asked to officially canonize the king!

Among the three feudatories of the mite Qing Dynasty, in addition to the strongest Wu Sangui, Xiao Mazi's second hatred is none other than this Geng Jingzhong, although this guy's strength ranks last among the three feudatories, but his ambition is simply greater than Wu Sangui's, and all kinds of bad deeds are countless, and he is even more obedient to Wu Sangui than Xiao Mazi, and at the same time, he is secretly hooking up with Taiwan's Zheng Jing, and the hidden evil intentions are simply revealed. So taking this opportunity, Xiao Mazi really wanted to remove the Jing Domain in one fell swoop, or abolish Geng Jingzhong, the prince of Jingnan, and replace it with the more obedient Geng Jimao's second son, Geng Juzhong, to inherit the prince.

Although Xiao Mazi's abacus played well, it was a pity that when he tried to discuss this move with Aobai, who currently holds real power, he was immediately scolded by Aobai mercilessly, "Stupid words!" Abolish Geng Jingzhong and replace Geng Juzhong to inherit the king? If you want to make the world chaotic, do it! Geng Jingzhong has won the hearts of the Fujian army, and he has deep roots in Fujian, and Geng Juzhong's waste sits firmly on the throne? Geng Jingzhong will be caught?! Even if Geng Juzhong sits firmly, Geng Jingzhong is captured, what does Wu Yingxiong think of Monk Zhixin? What does Monk Wu Sangui think? When the time comes, Geng Jingzhong will raise the flag to rebel, and the letter of the monk Wu Sangui will fish in troubled waters, and the south will not be in chaos immediately? ! ”

It's not just one who scolds Xiao Mazi like this, the old witch of Xiaozhuang heard Xiao Mazi's plan in Cining Palace, and she was so shocked that she didn't even help the dragon's head crutches, and ran directly into the Yangxin Palace and yelled at Xiao Mazi, "Absolutely not!" Your current number one enemy is Ao Bai, Wu Sangui, not Geng Jingzhong! Unless you want everyone in the world to rise up against you and let Aobai and the three feudatories stand opposite you, you must not do this kind of thing that hurts relatives and makes enemies happy! Hurry, immediately issue an order and officially canonize Geng Jingzhong as the king of Jingnan! ”

In fact, of course, Xiao Mazi knew that it was a bit whimsical to abolish Geng Jingzhong and replace Geng Juzhong to inherit the prince of Jingnan, and to discuss with Ao Bai was also to ask how big the feasible surname of this matter was, and with a little agitation, he wanted Ao Bai to come forward to be this wicked person, and he did not really plan to force it. But it is rare to discuss a national event with Aobai to abandon his previous suspicions, but he was scolded like this by Aobai and Xiaozhuang, how aggrieved and aggrieved the arrogant little pockmark is, it is simply impossible to describe it with pen and ink.

In this situation and background, after hearing the report of Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cixu, Xiao Mazi, who was already in an extremely bad mood, was completely furious, and almost didn't think about it anywhere else, and blurted out: "Is Dai Liangchen's report true?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Dai Liangchen has always been diligent and cautious, conscientious, since he reported like this, I think he also has enough accurate evidence." Kong Sizhen replied respectfully: "Otherwise, Dai Liangchen's minion will never dare to make false accusations." ”

"Bang!" Xiao Mazi slapped his palm on the dragon case, and said hatefully: "Lu Yifeng, you finally showed your fox tail!" ”

After hating and hating, Xiao Mazi slapped the table again, and roared with a blue face: "Pass the decree to the Criminal Department, quickly take Lu Yifeng into Beijing and hand it over to the three law divisions for trial and conviction!" ”

"It worked!" Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu exchanged glances with each other in surprise, and Xiong Cilu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, the arrest of Lu Yifeng must not be done through the hands of the Criminal Department, just because Wu Fan has widely spread eyeliner in the capital, if he passes through the Criminal Department, he will definitely not be able to escape Wu Fan's eyeliner!" If the news leaks and Wu Fan rushes to deliver the news to Lu Yifeng, Lu Yifeng is likely to eliminate the evidence or abscond, and flee back to Yunnan to hide. ”

"Therefore, Weichen dared to suggest that the emperor should send a confidant guard to Nanning with a secret decree to arrest Lu Yifeng, not only to prevent Lu Yifeng from absconding first, but also to take the opportunity to get ironclad evidence of Lu Yifeng's crime of bullying the monarch and instigating the Nanning garrison to rebel against the imperial court!"

Wu Sangui has countless eyeliners in the capital, of course, Xiao Mazi has already known this, so as soon as Xiong Ci said this, Xiao Mazi of course nodded in agreement, Kong Sizhen took the opportunity to recommend Li Xu, who had a deep hatred with Lu Fatzi, to serve as this messenger, and Xiao Mazi didn't think much about it. However, when Li Xu came in to receive the order, Xiao Mazi still kept an eye on it, and told Li Xu to be careful to verify it, and at the same time never let Lu Fatzi have an accident on the road, and also brought all the evidence of Lu Fatzi's crime in the hands of Dai Liangchen, the capital of Guilin, to the capital, so that the three law divisions could check the truth and falsehood, Li Xu kowtowed to the order, saying that he would never forget Xiao Mazi's instructions.

Finally instigated Xiao Mazi to make up his mind to arrest Lu Fatzi and successfully completed the first step of the plan, Xiong Cixu and Kong Sizhen both breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly visited Li Xu secretly overnight, under the pretext that Kong Sizhen's slave Dai Liangchen needed time to collect ironclad evidence, and asked Li Xu to deliberately slow down on the way south, and act with Dai Liangchen - the real purpose was of course to buy time for Wu Sangui's secret agent to pass on the news.

At the same time, Kong Sizhen also hinted to Li Xu that Li Xu was on the way to arrest Lu Fatzi and go north, and the lackeys of 'Wu Sangui' were likely to kill people and kill them once and for all, and asked Li Xu to think about how to act on his own. Moreover, Li Xu not only knew the vicious methods of Xiong and Kong, but also hated Lu Fatzi to the core, so he naturally agreed to understand it - he promised that on the road, he would definitely protect Lu Fatzi's safety.

Li Xu is basically no problem with this link, of course Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen have to take the next step - that is, to spread the news of Xiao Mazi's secret order to arrest Lu Fatzi to Wu Sangui's eyeliner ears. In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, so that the old fox Wu Sangui and the fat loach Lu Fatzi were suspicious, Xiong Cixu and the vicious suggestion let Kong Sizhen spread the news to Wu Sangui's ears through the Ao Bai party!

Xiong Cixu's proposal looks difficult, but the difficulty is really not that high, because since Kong Sizhen was specially transferred from Guangxi to the capital to deal with Aobai, although he has not controlled Aobai in the past two years like Xiaozhuang controlled Dolgon, but he has already established a super friendly relationship with many Aobai henchmen, and without spending much effort, Kong Sizhen passed the news to the ears of Bo Li, the third-class guard of the son of Bamburshan, and Bo Li also patted his chest and agreed, and spread the news in the Eight Banners Fushou Paste Hall the next day. Let Wu Sangui's spy lackeys in the capital know the news.

Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen obviously seriously underestimated the number one think tank in front of Ao Bai, Ban Bu Shan, and also underestimated Ba Bu Shan's son Bo Li a lot, just the next morning, Ba Bu Shan sent the news to Ao Bai to discuss the purpose of Kong Sizhen's move with Ao Bai to see if it was aimed at his own party. After Ao Bai heard the news, he just closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and quickly said: "This matter has nothing to do with us, it is Kong Sizhen's barbarian woman who is playing tricks again, fabricating some false news and preparing to trap Lu Yifeng to death." ”

"Enxiang, how can you see it?" Bamburshan was more cautious and said: "If the situation that Dai Liangchen has is true, then it proves that Wu Sangui is ready to reach out to Guangxi, which must not be taken lightly." ”

"There are some people that the enemy cannot buy, no matter how much it costs." Ao Bai said lightly: "Just like I did to the first emperor and Emperor Taizong, no matter how big the price of Dolgon, it is impossible for me to betray the first emperor and Emperor Taizong." And you and Mu Lima, Ge Ha and these people to me, Mingzhu and Suo Etu to our Mazi Emperor, Lu Yifeng, Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen to Wu Sangui, it is absolutely impossible to be bought by the enemy. Lian Guoan is also such a person, but Kong Sizhen doesn't know how to cherish such a person. ”

"What Enxiang means is that since it is absolutely impossible for Lian Guoan to betray Kong Sizhen, then the news that Wu Sangui is trying to use the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine to buy Lian Guoan for his own use will not be true?" Bamburshan asked tentatively.

Ao Bai nodded, and said: "The reason is very simple, it is impossible for Lian Guoan to rebel because of Wu Sangui's bribery, Wu Sangui will not be stupid enough to shake out the Phoenix Mountain silver mine, and if Wu Sangui really secretly explored the Phoenix three times in succession, and has already been detected by Kong Sizhen's eyeliner, then Kong Sizhen and Dai Liangchen's minions must have been suspicious for a long time, and they sent people to carefully explore Phoenix Mountain, and they can wait for now?" Wait until Lu Yifeng goes to sell favors in front of Guoan's father and son? Therefore, the old man can conclude that this matter must be accidental, Lu Yifeng did not shoulder Wu Sangui's bullshit at all, but just accidentally discovered this Phoenix Mountain silver mine. ”

Speaking of this, Ao Bai smiled and said: "This truth, if you calm down and think about it carefully, our Mazi Emperor should be able to understand it, at least he will not be credulous at will." This time, it is estimated that it was just in time for Geng Jingzhong's matter, this kid was scolded by the old man, and he was angry, so he was careless and credulous, it is estimated that it will not take a few days to calm down, and the kid will be able to wake up. ”

"Enxiang is clever, such a complicated situation, after your analysis, you will immediately see the clouds, and the truth will be revealed." Bambur sincerely slapped a sycophant, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, Kong Sizhen asked our people to spread the news to Wu Sangui's ears, it seems that he is planning to play a trick to startle the snake and force Lu Yifeng to take the initiative to show his original form?" ”

"That's how it should be." Ao Bai smiled and nodded, and said: "Lu Yifeng, that fat boy, has played our Mazi Emperor so badly over the years, although he has not been exposed, but he has also been saddled with countless suspicions, and it is estimated that he has already become a frightened bird, hearing this news, even if the fat boy will not be tricked immediately, it is estimated that he will have a headache." ”

"Also, such a large silver mine has been discovered in the Phoenix Mountain adjacent to Yunnan, Wu Sangui's old thing will definitely not ignore it, and he will definitely reach out and get a handful, and when these news reach the capital, and Kong Sizhen fabricated these news to confirm each other, the little fat man will jump into the Yellow River and can't clear the suspicion."

"Eun-sang, what should we do then?" Bambulshan smiled and asked, "Should we do Kong Sizhen this favor?" And that Phoenix Mountain silver mine, how can we reach out and get in? ”

"Help, why not?" Ao Bai was prepared, and he said directly without thinking about it: "That little fat man surnamed Lu, he has played our Mazi Emperor so badly over the years, although he is relieved, he can't continue to play." We and Wu Sangui are now allies, and we owe the little fat man a big favor before, so it is really inconvenient to clean him up in person, and it is not good for our next plan - Kong Sizhen voluntarily came forward to be this wicked person, and incidentally pulled Emperor Mazi into a wicked person, let's eat too much to stop her? ”

"As for the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine." Ao Bai paused for a moment, and then said: "This kind of thing is mining, the initial investment is very huge, let's go and stretch out our hands now, and we have to advance the silver money and grain first, it's really not cost-effective, it's better to let Wu Sangui get it first, and when the peaches are ripe, we can reach out again, and then we can eat ready-made." And after Wu Sangui has this silver mine, we will have another big bargaining chip at the negotiation table for the taxation of Eight Banners Fushou Paste in the second half of the year, and good things can't be taken up by him Wu Sangui alone, right? ”

"Eun Xiang is clever." Bamburshan agreed and said, "Please rest assured, I will go back and arrange it, and by this afternoon at the latest, I will be able to spread the news to Wu Sangui's ears." ”

"You come forward to inform Wu Yingxiong in person, and by the way, sell a favor to Wu Sangui." Ao Bai closed his eyes again, and said calmly: "By the way, urge Ge Yanha (the secretary of the military department), the secret expansion of the Eight Banners Army, it is time to speed up a little, otherwise, when we negotiate with Wu Sangui in the second half of the year, the waist will not be able to harden." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it immediately." Bambulshan agreed again, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Enxiang, do you really believe in the promise of the Empress Dowager?" Destroy Wu Sangui, you are the new Prince of Pingxi, and you will be hereditary in the land and territory? This is likely to be the old trick of the Queen Mother to drive away the tiger and the wolf? ”

Of course the old man didn't believe it. Ao Bai said quietly: "However, although Wu Sangui's armament expansion this year is not as big as last year, it has been going on in secret, and if you are not prepared, it will suddenly be too late." ”

………………

Although Ao Bai didn't realize until much later that he had seriously underestimated Lu Fatzi, the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty, and missed countless opportunities to nip this scourge in the bud, but with his deliberate connivance, Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen's poisonous plan was finally successfully implemented. Aobai's number one think tank, Ban Bushan, personally came forward, under the pretext of fulfilling the covenant, and directly told Wu Yingxiong the news that Xiao Mazi had secretly ordered the arrest of Lu Fatzi, not only sold a favor to Pingxi Wangfu, but also scared Wu Yingxiong's three souls away - unlike Aobai, Wu Yingxiong knows very well how important Lu Fatzi is to his family.

If you want to say how bad our Lord Ban Bushan is, when he reported the news to Wu Yingxiong, in addition to exaggerating the seriousness of the matter, he also deliberately concealed several loopholes that Ao Bai saw, and helped Kong Sizhen make up the lie more roundly - Wu Yingxiong had no way to verify it anyway. And Wu Yingxiong did not have the calm and wisdom that he had boiled up for many years, nor did he have sufficient and correct information, so he had no choice but to quickly thank the 'kind' Ban Bu Shanda, and also sent a few of the most reliable messengers to send the news back to Yunnan as quickly as possible - tell Lu Fatzi to flee for his life!

At this point in the plan, if it was replaced by someone else, Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen would probably be doomed, but unfortunately, a few days later, the reports of Jin Guangzu, the governor of Liangguang, and Ma Xiongzhen, the governor of Guangxi, were sent to the capital one after another, and reported to the Qing court the astonishing news that a huge silver mine had been discovered in Phoenix Mountain, Nanning Prefecture, Guangxi!

At the same time, what made Xiong Cilu and Kong Sizhen stunned was that Jin and Ma were probably trying to curry favor with Lu Fatzi for their own use, not only did they greatly praise Lu Fatzi in the report, but they also made it clear to Xiao Mazi and the Mites Qing court that the amazing reserves of the silver mine in Phoenix Mountain were reported - 42,656,000 taels! It is equivalent to the total financial income of two years of mite clearing!

What made Kong Sizhen even more miserable, Jin and Ma didn't know if they had eaten too much to support it, and they actually reported to Xiao Mazi that Dai Liangchen had privately sent someone to arrest Lu Fatzi, a trivial matter, and impeached Dai Liangchen for the illegal crime of arresting people without evidence and without a license!

Because Jin Guangzu and Ma Xiongzhen's twists and turns were all Mingfa, they were sent directly to the study after the General Administration Department and presented to Xiao Mazi, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cixu didn't dare to eat the leopard's gall, and they couldn't deduct these two twists and turns, so the Mites Qing court made a sensation together, needless to say, Xiao Mazi, who had gradually calmed down from Geng Jingzhong's incident, was stunned, but also immediately became suspicious - since Dai Liangchen already had the evidence of Lu Fatzi's crime, why did he arrest Lu Fatzi without a license? Why do these feudal officials like Jin Guangzu and Ma Xiongzhen still help Lu Fatzi say good things?

In the face of Xiao Mazi's questioning, Xiong Cixu and Kong Sizhen finally used the excuse that the distance was too far away and the situation was not clear, and they also used the excuse that Dai Liangchen might have caught the evidence of the crime after the failure to arrest Lu Fatzi, so that Xiao Mazi decided to wait for Lu Fatzi to be escorted to the capital and then confronted him in person. But Xiao Mazi still issued a second will, and sent it to Li Xu, the Qincha who handled the case, with an expedited dispatch of 600 li, ordering him not to wear torture instruments on the road and not to take the prisoner's car when escorting Lu Fatzi into Beijing, and to inform the good students at the post stations along the way to receive them according to the level of five-grade officials, and not to be slack!

In addition, Xiao Mazi gave Li Xu another strict order, along the way, he must ensure the safety of Lu Fatzi's life at all costs, Lu Fatzi lost a single hair on the road, and Li Xu had to lose his head when he returned to the capital!

Jin Guangzu and Ma Xiongzhen had enough to eat and support a lot of things, disrupting Xiong Cizhen and Kong Sizhen's plan, which was enough to make Xiong Cizhen and Kong Sizhen sit on pins and needles, but in the next few days, the bad news that made Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cizhen even more unexpected came like a tide............

On May 20, the tenth year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, on the third day of the report that the Governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, Jin Guangzu, had reported that the discovery of a huge silver mine in Phoenix Mountain had arrived in the capital, and Jin Guangzu sent a second chapter to publicly impeach Kong Sizhen's slaves Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongyuan for their wanton extortion and extortion, preying on the common people, provoking many popular uprisings in Guanyang, Gongcheng, Fuchuan and other places, and severely condemning Kong Sizhen's crime of connivance!

At the same time, the second piece of music with Jin Guangzu was sent to the capital, and there was also a secret fold of Lu Fatzi that Jin Guangzu forwarded on his behalf, and there was not a single word in Lu Fatzi's dense fold bag, only two Danqing with good brushwork. One depicts a fat man standing in front of a prince's knife, and a woman stabbing the fat man in the back; The other painting depicts the woman's head falling to the ground, and the fat man confronting the prince head-on!

Although there was not a word on the paintings, after reading these two paintings, Xiao Mazi was still silent for a long time, and finally smashed the two paintings on Kong Sizhen's face, and ordered Kong Sizhen to look at it herself! Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cilu sweated like pulp, kowtowing desperately, but they didn't dare to say a word............

The next day, the second chapter of Maxiong Town was delivered to the capital, impeaching Kong Sizhen's legitimate husband Sun Yanling, domestic slaves Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian for withholding military salaries, resulting in lax military discipline among Guangxi soldiers, disturbing the people and causing trouble, and even pretending to be bandits to rob passing merchants............

On the fourth day, Guangxi veteran Lian Guoan and Guangxi Governor Ma Xiong jointly sent a letter to the capital, jointly impeaching Kong Sizhen for three crimes, deducting military salaries, indiscriminately setting up checkpoints, and extorting tyranny, and having an improper style............

On the seventh day, the problem was even greater, and Lu Fatzi's legitimate father-in-law, Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi, went to the table and asked his youngest daughter Shang Wanzhen to renew the genealogy, re-register the case in the Zongren Mansion, and officially recognize Lu Fatzi's son-in-law. At the same time, the prince of Pingnan also used an extremely fierce tone to viciously impeach Kong Sizhen for several attempts to murder and frame his beloved son-in-law Lu Fatzi, forcing Xiao Mazi to give himself an explanation............

Although the character of the prince of Pingnan is really not very good, he is also one of the three major feudal kings, and at the same time, he is the only feudal lord among the three feudal lords who is really loyal to Xiao Mazi, so his excerpts, even Xiao Mazi did not dare not leave them behind, so he could only find the old demon woman of Xiaozhuang with the excerpts, and discuss with Xiaozhuang what punishment to give Kong Sizhen to calm Shang Kexi's anger. When Kong Sizhen heard the news, she collapsed on the bed in fright, drenched in cold sweat all over her body, and couldn't get up for a long time, while the resourceful Xiong University Scholar sat on the edge of the bed naked in a daze. I didn't say a word for half an hour.

The fatal blow to Xiong Cizhen and Kong Sizhen was the assassination of Lu Fatzi, although relying on the secret channels of the Thirteen Yamen, Kong Sizhen and Xiong Cizhen knew the news a few days earlier than Xiao Mazi, but after reading the report, Kong Sizhen was still scared and fainted on the spot! After finally being rescued by Xiong Cilu's fierce pinching, Kong Sizhen's first thing was to cry, "Is that dog slave doing such a lack of morality?" Did he think the old lady didn't die fast enough? I still don't think the old lady died enough! actually assassinated Lu Fatzi secretly, how could the old lady explain to the emperor and Lafayette?! ”

When Kong Sizhen cried bitterly, Xiong Cizhen sat on the ground next to her, and he didn't even have the strength to persuade him, because Xiong Cizhen knew very well that although the assassination of Fat Lu basically couldn't be related to himself, he and Kong Sizhen were now grasshoppers tied to a straw, and they couldn't fly Kong Sizhen and couldn't run away from themselves - with Kong Sizhen's virtue, when he was dying, he would definitely pull himself as a companion, and shake out the matter of framing Lu Fatzi, maybe he would put all the blame on himself! At that time, Kong Sizhen, who has a special identity, may still have a glimmer of hope for survival, and he will definitely die!

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Sure enough, Kong Sizhen really repeated his old tricks, grabbed the money rat tail of Xiong Ci's shoes and beat and cried, and said: "It's all your fault, bastard!" The old lady has obviously said that the dead fat man surnamed Lu will let him fend for himself in Yunnan! You have to instigate the old lady to take his life, and don't let him steal your limelight in front of the emperor! Okay, now that things have come to this point, what are we going to do? What should the old lady do? ”

Although Kong Sizhen's words were already shameless to the extreme, it was rare for Xiong Cixu to reason with her - he didn't know what to reason with her, so he just lowered his head and endured Kong Sizhen's crying and beating, and quickly moved his head to think nervously. After a long time, Xiong Cilu suddenly grabbed Kong Sizhen's hands and said nervously: "Sigege, you calm down first!" Let me ask you, is it possible that your people in Guangxi will send someone to assassinate Lu Fatzi behind your back? ”

"What are you asking for?" Kong Sizhen was stunned for a while, and then nodded and said, "Of course it's possible, my minions are still very loyal to me." And this kind of thing, they haven't done it less before. ”

"However, at that time, there were governors, governors, and admirals in Nanning City, how could they dare to do this?" Xiong Cixu asked nervously again: "How sure are you that you did this?" ”

"Thousands of miles away, how do I know?" Kong Sizhen cried again and said, "I also know that you suspect that this matter is probably not done by my people, but it is so far away, how can we find out the real culprit?" This will wait for our people to rush to Guangxi, the real murderer has already run away without a trace, and the evidence must have been destroyed cleanly, how can we investigate? ”

"Alasβ€”β€”!" Xiong Cixu sighed, slammed his fist on the ground, and sighed: "We still underestimate that Lu Fat Man, if this matter was done by himself, this Lu Fat Man would be too terrible, such a vicious trick can be used, and he won't give us the slightest chance to fight back afterwards!" Compared to him, I am indeed too far away, too far! ”

"Compared to him, you are already 108,000 miles behind!" Kong Sizhen's tears fell, and she choked up: "That dead fat man, why do you hate the old lady so much?" The old lady was sorry for him at the beginning, but why did he do such a heavy hand to me? If he had been nice to me, I would have ............ like that. ”

Choked here, Kong Sizhen could no longer control the emotions in her heart, let go of Xiong Ci's pigtails, buried her face in her knees, hugged her legs and cried. Xiong Cixu first glanced at her coldly, and then sighed and said: "Sigege, it's useless to regret it now, if we don't want to die, there are only two ways to go now." One is to die with Lu Fatzi to the end, betting that after hearing the news of the emperor's order to arrest him, he became a frightened bird and fled back to Yunnan and took the initiative to expose, so everything will have a chance to turn around. ”

"Of course." Xiong Cixu smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that Fat Lu still had this trick of bitter meat before, I forced him to a desperate situation, and he also forced us to a desperate situation, so we and him died to the death, that is, either he died, or we died." I really don't have the guts to spend it with him, I just don't know if you have the courage to do so. ”

Kong Sizhen continued to lower her head and sobbed without speaking, and after a long time, Kong Sizhen raised her head, choked up and asked, "You said that there are two ways to go, how to go on the second road?" ”

"The second way." A trace of vicious light suddenly flashed in Xiong Cilu's eyes, and the vicious and ferocious light made Kong Sizhen's heart chill............

(To be continued)
