Chapter 218: The pit was dug early
"Brother Sanhao, foolish brother begs you." Wang Xu had tears in his eyes, choked up and pleaded, and kowtowed heavily to Fat Lu, choked and said: "Foolish brother is not talented, and he knows that he is not the opponent of a virtuous brother, so foolish brother ......." β
"Brother Zishu!" Fat Lu is not stupid, and he will not let people force himself into a dilemma, so he hurriedly said loudly: "If Brother Zishu is just for personal matters, then Brother Zishu will ask for the head of the younger brother, and the younger brother will immediately offer it with both hands!" But if the younger brother is for official business, then please excuse himself, the younger brother is a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, a subordinate of the prince of Pingxi, and the parents of the people of Qujing, if he makes concessions to the brother Zishu in the interests of the people of the Qing Dynasty in the southwest and the royal palace of Pingxi, then the younger brother is sorry for the king of heaven and earth, and sorry for his colleagues and people! Although the younger brother is not talented, he has never dared to do it! β
"Three good brothers......." The thousands of words accumulated in Wang Xu's heart were all choked at once, and his voice suddenly choked up. The civil and military forces of the Pingxi Royal Mansion next to him nodded one after another, and they had a good impression of Lu Fatzi - what is a good colleague? Those who do not betray the collective interests are good colleagues!
"Brother Zizhu, it seems that I guessed right." Fat Lu sighed and asked, "Brother Zizhu wants the younger brother to make concessions on the issue of military salary, money and food, and ask the prince to open up the net so that Brother Zizhu can return to Beijing to pay the errand?" β
Wang Xu burst into tears and nodded silently in acknowledgement. Fat Lu sighed again, slowly pulled out the sword on his body, held the sword in front of Wang Xu with both hands, and said solemnly: "Brother Zizhu, you have a life-saving grace for the younger brother, and the grace is the same as recreation, if the younger brother does not repay this kindness, it is unjust; But if the younger brother betrays the Pingxi Mansion to repay the great kindness of his son, he will be disloyal! It is difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness, and the younger brother really doesn't know how to choose, and there is only one way, that is, to ask the son to write the brother, that is, to behead the younger brother, so that the younger brother can repay the great kindness of the son and the brother, and he does not have to bear the infamy of disloyalty and injustice. Brother Zizhu, you say, do you do it, or let the younger brother do it himself? β
"Brother Sanhao, what are you kidding...... Wang Xu was shocked and asked, "No matter how talented the foolish brother is, he won't persecute the virtuous brother like this, right?" β
"Brother Zishu is wrong, the younger brother is definitely not joking." Lu Fatzi shook his head and said solemnly: "On the contrary, the younger brother is very serious, if Brother Zizhu continues to force me to sacrifice the Pingxi Mansion to repay my brother's great kindness, then the younger brother can't, so he has to die and apologize to Brother Zizhuo." β
After that, Lu Fatzi really had a horizontal sword in his hand, and he was about to kill himself when he put it on his fat neck, which frightened Wang Xu and Yu Xuan next to him, and everyone in the surrounding Pingxi Wangfu also screamed, and hurriedly rushed up, holding down Lu Fatzi's fat hand with all hands and feet, and snatched Lu Fatzi's sword away, Wang Xu cried even more, "Three good brothers, it's not right to be a foolish brother, a foolish brother shouldn't persecute a virtuous brother like this, a foolish brother is a bad way to be a king!" Foolish brother makes amends to you! Crying, Wang Xu kowtowed to Fat Lu again and again, desperately pleading guilty.
"Brother Zizhuo, I'm sorry for you." Lu Fatzi cried out loud, "Brother Zishu is on the emperor's errand, and the younger brother is on official business, so he has to be hostile to the foolish brother for their own missions, the younger brother is ungrateful, and the younger brother deserves deathββ! β
Crying and shouting, Lu Fatzi also tried his best to return the courtesy, and everyone next to him sighed when they saw it, and they all admired Wang Xu and Lu Fatzi's loyal servant and gentlemanly demeanor. Only Xiong Cixu, Zhou Peigong, Kong Sizhen and others sneered again and again, secretly scolding Lu Fatzi for being despicable and shameless, being a bitch and setting up an archway - committing suicide in front of so many lackeys of Pingxi Palace, it would be strange if he could commit suicide successfully. But because of this, Xiong Cixu inevitably had a lot of worries, and couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Peigong, his former rival in love: "Trouble, this shameless Lu Fat Man has a resolute attitude, and he can speak tricky, if we want to succeed today, I'm afraid we have to pass him first." β
"Xiong Zhongtang is too worried, according to his humble opinion, although this fat man Lu is terrible." Zhou Peigong replied with a sneer: "But today, don't worry! β
"How so?" Xiong asked in surprise.
"Zhongtang hasn't seen it yet?" Zhou Peigong replied with a cruel smile: "This fat man Lu is extremely sleek, in order not to attract jealousy, he deliberately behaves with his tail between his legs, and treats his colleagues with servility and kneeling, obviously because he is afraid that his status will rise too quickly and attract jealousy and hostility from his colleagues." Although this move is effective, it also brings a bad result, that is, he does not dare to argue with reason in front of his colleagues, let alone offend his colleagues and offend his superiors. The reason why we were helpless with him last time was because there was no right-hand man on our side under the command of Wu Sangui's old thief at that time, so he was lucky to get it. But this time, is he as lucky as last time? β
Xiong Cilu lowered his head and pondered, and soon laughed cruelly, "Mr. Pei Gong is reasonable, I heard that this fat man Lu was personally pulled by Wu Yingqi back then, and now Wu Yingqi has also stood on our side, this official wants to see if he has the courage to resist to the end with his benefactor and the only son of Wu Sangui's old thief?" Zhou Peigong laughed even more fiercely in a low voice, looking forward to how wonderful the expression on Lu Fatzi's ugly fat face would be when he found out that Wu Yingqi was on his side.
At this time, Wu Laohan finally came out of the line of the gate of the Pingxi Palace, announcing that Wu Laohan was promoted to the palace, and the people of the Mites Qing Mission and the civil and military forces of the Pingxi Palace hurriedly led the official Wang Tianzhong, according to the size of their official positions, stood in a queue, formed a team, and marched to the line like a hundred officials entering the court, and stood in line in the hall of the original governor of the three provinces of Mite and Qing. As soon as everyone stood still, Wu Lao Hanjian immediately entered the lobby from the back hall under Hu Guozhu and Lu Xian and other close cronies, and everyone did not dare to slack off, so they quickly knelt down on one knee together, and shouted neatly: "Lord, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." β
"Officials, please get up."
Wu Lao Han Jian is quite reasonable, in the case of a good situation, he still did not shout out such arrogant words as "Zhongqing Pingshen", and the old guys such as Ji Bilong and Wang Xu were also quite comfortable to listen to, and happily thanked him and got up, Wu Lao Han Jian asked people to arrange seats for Ji Bi Long and Wang Xu, and the meeting of Pingxi Wangfu was officially started.
As at the last reception, Wang Xu stood up again and asked Wu Lao Han to negotiate a supplementary armistice peace treaty as a messenger, asking Wu Lao Han to understand the financial difficulties of the Mite Qing court, and make concessions on the amount of money and grain and the time of payment, and at the same time showed the annual income accounts of the Mite Qing court, proving that the mite Qing court was indeed unable to pay such a huge amount of money and grain. However, before Wu Laohan could speak, Lu Fatzi was the first to stand up and arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, interrupt me, I have a question I want to ask Wang Tangguan." β
Wu Laohan, who specially called Lu Fatzi to participate in this meeting, immediately nodded in agreement, and then Lu Fatzi turned to Wang Xu and asked, "May I ask Wang Tangguan, why don't you show the internal treasury income account of the Qing Dynasty?" As far as the lower officials know, the Qing court has a clear stipulation that the income from customs gold, mining tax, and land rent from the Huangzhuang is directly collected by the internal affairs government and is not counted in the treasury income, which is not a considerable amount. β
Wang Xu was silent, knowing that his only confidant and friend still did not show mercy to his subordinates, and Xiong Cilu immediately stood up and said sharply: "Bold Lu Yifeng!" You still have the face to claim to be a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and you still dare to beat the idea of your own silver (private money) for long live my emperor, what are your intentions? β
"Xiong Zhongtang, the income of the inner treasury is indeed the emperor's own silver." Lu Fatzi asked slowly and reasonably: "But as far as the lower officials know, this time the emperor also took out a lot of silver from the inner treasury to give the Aobai thief as military expenses, and the cannon captured by our army from the Aobai thief is also engraved with the words of the supervision of the internal affairs government, isn't this ironclad evidence that the emperor took out the silver from the inner treasury to make firearms for Aobai?" Since the thief can use the emperor's inner treasury silver, and our prince Pingxi is loyal to the lord and destroys the country, why is it not worthy of the emperor's reward for his own silver? β
Xiong Cilu was speechless, and Hu Guozhu, who was standing next to Wu Laohan Jian, also laughed and asked: "Xiong Zhongtang, are you trying to imply that my emperor Kangxi is mediocre and confused, and would rather give his own money to the thieves of the chaotic country than use it to reward meritorious soldiers?" β
"I, I didn't say that." Xiong Cixu was taken aback and hurriedly confessed.
"I didn't say you said that, just asked if you thought so?" Hu Guozhu smiled and said: "Besides, since the founding of our dynasty, whenever the country is insufficient, two generations of kings have lent money to the treasury. Now that Lord Wang is adamant that there is no silver, Lord Lu asks Lord Wang to show the accounts of the inner treasury, why not? β
Xiong Cixu's face was red and blue, and he was speechless. Wang Xu bowed his hand to Lu Fatzi and Hu Guozhu, and said sincerely: "General Jinwu, Lord Lu, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling to show the accounts of the internal treasury, but the lower officials are not also in charge of the internal affairs office, and they did not receive a notice from the internal affairs office when they left, saying that the internal affairs government can provide money to fill this vacancy, let alone provide relevant accounts for the lower officials. So I'm very sorry, Lord Lu asked the lower officials to show the accounts of the Internal Affairs Office, and the lower officials really couldn't do anything. β
"Lord Wang, then Ming Zhongtang, the pearl in charge of the Internal Affairs Mansion, has he ever shown you that the Inner Treasury cannot advance this silver for the imperial court?" Fat Lu asked quietly.
"This ......." Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally replied honestly: "No." β
"Needless to say." Wu Lao Hanjian finally spoke, waved his hand and said: "Since you don't know whether the Qing Dynasty can pay this silver, for the sake of the people of the five southwestern provinces, for the sake of the Qing warriors who died on the battlefield of counterinsurgency, and for the sake of the emperor's prestige and dignity, this king really can't agree to your request, and the grace period or reduce the amount." β
"Lord Wang......." Wang Xu pleaded. Wu Lao Han raised his gaze to the beam of the house, and replied coldly: "The decision has been made, Wang Shangshu does not need to mention it again." β
Wang Xu lowered his head weakly, his heart was like a knife, but at this time, Xia Guoxiang, the second son-in-law of Wu Lao Han Jian, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law, according to the opinion of the younger son-in-law, the pacification of the people in the southwest, the pension of the fallen soldiers and the prestige of the emperor are of course extremely important, but the actual situation of the imperial court still needs to be considered, and please think twice about my father-in-law." β
As soon as Xia Guoxiang said this, the hall changed color, and Wang Xu was even more surprised and delighted, saying that he didn't expect that Wu Laohan's son-in-law would take the wrong medicine and stand on his side. Hu Guozhu was furious and shouted: "Brother-in-law, my father-in-law has already said that there is no need to discuss it anymore, what do you want to do?" β
"Brother Guozhu, the younger brother knows that you are thinking about the Pingxi Palace, but why is it not the case with the younger brother?" Xia Guoxiang said with a smile: "I don't know if Guozhu has ever thought that if the imperial court really can't get this military salary and food, and has no choice but to refuse to pay, then what can we do?" β
"The peace agreement is here, the ink is not dry, who dares to refuse to pay?" Hu Guozhu pointed to the peace treaty in front of Wu Lao Han and said angrily: "Whoever dares to tear up this peace treaty will lose trust in the world!" β
"But if the court can't take it out, what can it do?" Xia Guoxiang asked rhetorically. At this time, Xia Guoxiang suddenly stood up behind him, an important civil and military official of the Pingxi Palace, clasped his fists together and said: "Lord, General Xia is reasonable, please think carefully." β
"Lord Wang, General Xia has a point, instead of forcing the court to a dead end, it is better to take a step back and open the sky." Wu Lao Han's favorite fierce general, Ma Bao, shouted the loudest, waved his arms and shouted: "Anyway, the court doesn't plan to pay the bill, so what's the difference between a little earlier and a little later?" Since the imperial court can't come up with so much money and grain now, what's the matter with a little grace of one or two years? β
"Yes, yes, General Ma has a point." Several of Wu Laohan's important henchmen echoed loudly.
The incident happened suddenly, not only Wang Xu, Ji Bilong and others were surprised and delighted, Wu Lao Han Jian inevitably felt a little caught off guard, saying that he didn't expect that there were so many people in his account to support the grace period, Wu Lao Han Jian, who had always been indecisive and was afraid that he would not be able to get the military salary and food, was inevitably a little shaken - at the risk of not being able to get a penny in his hand, forcing Mangou to strictly fulfill the peace agreement, is it too stubborn? If you can't get this military salary, money, and food, how can you solve your financial problems in the coming year?
"Father-in-law Mingjian, the son-in-law is never speaking for others." Xia Guoxiang took a step forward and said loudly: "The son-in-law is just thinking about the thousands of soldiers and people in the Pingxi Palace, in order to exterminate the Aobai and destroy the thieves, we have paid a huge price from top to bottom in the Pingxi Palace. Now that the imperial court has promised to pay this military salary, money and food, why bother about such a trivial matter as the payment deadline? If something goes wrong because of this issue, father-in-law, how do you explain it to the Pingxi Palace? How can we, the Pingxi Palace, explain to the people of the southwest? β
"Yes, General Xia is too right, take a step back and open the sky." More than a dozen of Wu Laohan's important relatives and confidants all echoed it, and there were also a group of civil and military officials of the Pingxi Royal Mansion who had not been bought by the Qing Dynasty, and they were also moved by the crooked reasoning of Xia Guoxiang and others, and they were worried that Wu Laohan would really not be able to get this important money and food, so they couldn't help but casually echo a few words.
Seeing this scene, Wu Laohan, who was known for his soft ears, was inevitably even more shaken, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Hu Guozhu and Lu Fatzi and other hawkish cronies, but unfortunately Hu Guozhu and Lu Fatzi and others were all worried, and they didn't dare to open their mouths to stop them. Seeing this, Xiong Cixu, Zhou Peigong and others inevitably felt happy, and said in their hearts: "Fat Lu, aren't you good at arguing?" Why don't you argue? Are you afraid of offending your colleagues and offending so many cronies of Wu Sangui's old thief? β
"What's wrong with the dead fat man?" Kong Sizhen, who had not spoken, was also a little surprised, and wondered in his heart, "It is said that it should be easy for the dead fat man to refute the crooked reasoning of Xia Guoxiang's waste, why don't you speak now?" Could it be that the fat man is also a soft bone, and he doesn't dare to offend so many colleagues at the same time? β
"Yifeng, what's wrong with you?" Wu Laohan couldn't hold his breath, and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "Usually at this time, you talk the most - others don't even have a chance to interject, why don't you speak today?" Say, what is your opinion? β
"Back to my grandfather, my grandson-in-law is really embarrassed." Lu Fatzi was still so slippery, and replied: "The grandson-in-law not only thinks that the second uncle and General Ma are reasonable, but also worries about the grandfather Chrysostom, and has already said that there is no need to discuss this matter, if the grandson-in-law agrees with the second uncle and General Ma, it is disobeying the will of grandfather Jun, so the grandson-in-law really doesn't know how to choose, and only grandfather Qiangang can make his own decisions!" Moreover, the grandson-in-law knew that with his grandfather's holy wisdom and wisdom, he was far-sighted and thoughtful, and he had no last resort! I will definitely be able to make the right choice and lead my Pingxi Mansion to a glorious future, and my grandson-in-law will not dare to show off in front of my grandfather with this bit of dull thinking. β
"Sycophants! Slippery loaches! Everyone present, including Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong, two insiders, cursed in their hearts. Wu Lao Han Jian was also angry and funny, and scolded with a smile: "Bastard boy, grandfather wants you to make suggestions, not to make you sycophants!" β
"Back to my grandfather, my grandson-in-law is really not a sycophant." Fat Lu hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Although the grandson-in-law insists on demanding that the imperial court strictly fulfill the peace treaty, after listening to the words of the second uncle, General Ma and all the seniors, the grandson-in-law feels very reasonable, and he is in a dilemma and hesitates. But the grandson-in-law immediately thought that with his grandfather's wisdom and thoughtfulness, as long as he decided something, it must be right, and even if his grandson-in-law and his colleagues did not understand it for a while, as long as they did what their grandfather told them, they would suddenly realize and understand their grandfather's wisdom in the future. β
"This dead fat man, it's just slippery." Everyone scolded together in their hearts, Xia Guoxiang, Ma Bao and others were triumphant, extremely satisfied with Lu Fatzi's words, Xiong Cixu and Zhou Peigong and others smiled in their hearts, understanding that Lu Fatzi said that he would not offend so many colleagues and so many cronies of Wu Laohan - but it is not surprising that with Lu Fatzi's climbing speed under Wu Laohan's annihilation tent, it is too late to try to be a man with his tail between his legs, how dare he offend so many people?
"Really? Then don't regret muttering. Wu Lao Han was even more angry and funny, turned to Xia Guoxiang and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, in your opinion, how much concession should the old man make?" β
"Father-in-law Xie, that's all the son-in-law can say." Xia Guoxiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed to speak, but he didn't expect Wang Shirong next to him to suddenly say loudly: "Lord Wang, wait, the student has something to say." β
"Say." Finally, a resolute lackey came out, and Wu Laohan, who didn't want to give in to the killer in his heart, was also very happy.
"Lord Wang, according to the student's opinion, it is okay to make appropriate concessions on the payment period." Wang Shirong is not a good thing, and deliberately said: "But on the issue of the number of prisoners of war, the students believe that the prince must not make the slightest concession." β
"Speaking of the issue of prisoners of war, the lower officials are about to make it clear to the prince." Xiong Cilu hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, according to the peace agreement signed between Ji Zhongtang and General Jinwu, after my Qing court pays five million taels of silver, the prince will immediately release all the prisoners of war of our army. Therefore, the Qing court plans to pay 5 million taels of silver to redeem the prisoners of war in advance, compensate the prince with 30 million taels of military salaries and 5 million military rations, and then pay them as scheduled through negotiation, and ask the prince for his permission. β
"This is absolutely not going to work." Wu Laohan was not stupid, and immediately refused, "If you don't pay all the military salaries, money and food, the old man will never release a prisoner." β
"But there's no agreement?" Xiong Ci said with a smile: "Please take a closer look at the peace treaty, is there an agreement in the peace treaty, and all military salaries, money and food must be paid in full before the prince can release the prisoners of war?" Is it only written that as long as the Qing court pays the ransom of five million taels of silver, all prisoners of war will be released immediately? β
Wu Laohan was stunned, and quickly picked up the peace agreement to take a closer look, Lu Fatzi, Hu Guozhu and Fang Xueshi also looked at each other, only then did they realize that they had really taken this into account at that time, so that Xiong Cixu had a loophole to exploit. Then without waiting for Wu Laohan's angry gaze to turn to him, Lu Fatzi quickly stood up and said loudly: "Xiong Zhongtang, there is no agreement in the peace agreement that all military salaries and food must be paid in full before all prisoners of war can be released, but there is still no agreement in the peace agreement, when will we accept the ransom of your prisoners of war!" If you want to cheat, we can do the same, and we will not accept the ransom of the five million taels of silver until you have paid the military salary of 30 million taels of silver and the grain of 5 million stones. β
"That's right." Hu Guozhu, who was afraid of taking responsibility, hurriedly agreed, "Since you are arguing, we can also say that there is no agreement on when to pay the ransom in the peace agreement, and we want you to pay the military salary, grain and grass first, and then pay the ransom." β
"Guozhu, Yifeng's virtuous nephew, you two are playing scoundrels." Xia Guoxiang hurriedly spoke, smiled and said: "Since you didn't think about it when you signed the peace treaty, then now it's better to make a mistake than to ask for the surname, first collect the ransom and release the captured Eight Banner soldiers, and let them go back to reunite with their families, so that not only shows the broad-mindedness of our Pingxi Palace, but also wins the hearts of the people in the world, isn't it the best of both worlds?" β
After that, Xia Guoxiang, who was afraid that he would not be able to control Hu Guozhu and Lu Fatzi because he was not enough, hurriedly turned around and smiled at Wu Yingqi: "Yingqi, did you say?" β
"Yes, second prince, your status in the Pingxi Royal Mansion is second only to the Pingxi Prince, you should also say something." Xiong Cilu also turned his gaze to Wu Yingqi, and said with a smile: "Please tell me about the second prince, should you support General Jinwu and Lord Lu to mess around?" β
"You want me to say?" Wu Yingqi finally spoke, strode to Xiong Cilu's side, smiled at Xiong Cilu, and said, "In my opinion, my brother-in-law and Yifeng are too weak, and if they want to replace me, it will be like this a long time agoββ! β
As he spoke, Wu Yingqi suddenly picked up a fist the size of a vinegar jar, and lightning smashed on the bridge of Xiong Cixu's face and nose with a flattering smile, beating Xiong Cixu's nose on the spot, falling to the ground on his back, covering his nose and screaming like a pig, "Second prince, what are you doing?" β
The incident happened suddenly, including Wu Lao Hanjian, who was startled, jumped up and roared: "Ying Qi, are you crazy? What are you doing? β
"Father, please see something, and you will understand." Wu Yingqi replied loudly, raised his hand and patted twice, and the two guards of Wu Lao Han outside the door immediately carried into a large box with a seal. When Wu Yingqi tore off the seal again, smashed the copper lock, and opened it, he immediately revealed a box full of gold, silver and jewelry!
"Father, you should understand by now, why are there so many dogs talking for the court today, right?" Wu Yingqi played with two hundred and five tempers, and roared unabashedly: "Because these dog things that eat inside and crawl outside, they have all accepted these things!" These things were given by Xiong Cixu, a dog thief! β
"What?" Wu Laohan was shocked. Xia Guoxiang and Wu Junzhong, who had helped Xiong Cixu speak before, all had purple faces, and they didn't expect that Wu Yingqi, who was usually the most greedy, would find out in his conscience at this critical moment and defect!
"Father, here's the list!" Wu Yingqi took out a stack of papers from his arms, raised his head high, and said loudly: "Since the child pretended to be a trick and accepted a bribe from Xiong Ci's villain's jewelry, he sent someone to secretly keep an eye on this dog thief, he bribed the people under your father, how much was bribed, and when the bribe was made, the child has let people record it clearly, please take a look at it!" β
"Bang!" Xia Guoxiang was the first to fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth. The dozen or so civil and military officials of the Wu army who had ghosts in their hearts also quickly knelt down, their foreheads touching the ground, their whole bodies drenched in cold sweat, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air!
"Boom!" Wu Laohan overturned the book case in front of him, pointed at Wang Xu with a blue face and shouted, "Wang Xu'er, this is your name?" This is your negotiating sincerity?! β
Wang Xu's face turned blue, first blue, then white, and finally purple, and suddenly he also raised his leg and kicked viciously on the lower abdomen of Xiong Cixu, who had just gotten up, and kicked Xiong Cixu and fell on all fours, only then did he kneel down to Wu Laohan and said loudly: "Lord, the matter has come to this, the lower officials have nothing to say, let the prince deal with it!" But the lower official can swear to the sky that this matter was all done by Xiong Cixu behind the lower official's back, and the lower official did not know in advance! β
"Grandfather, grandson-in-law is willing to be a guarantor for Lord Wang!" Fat Lu hurriedly knelt next to Wang Xu and said loudly: "Grandson-in-law is willing to swear by Master Xiang's hair, with Lord Wang's person, he will never do such a dirty and dirty thing, everything is done by Xiong Ci Villain alone." Please grandfather don't use the fault of a villain to anger others and miss the peace agreement. β
"Father-in-law, Yifeng is reasonable, please think twice." Hu Guozhu also hurriedly stood up, "The son-in-law also thinks that with the character and demeanor of Lord Wang, he will never do such a despicable and shameless thing, please father-in-law must not be angry because of the villain's sin and miss the peace agreement!" β
"Second prince, please say something." Fat Lu turned around and said to Wu Yingqi: "Please prove to the second prince whether Lord Wang is involved in this matter?" β
"I ......." Wu Yingqi's pitiful brain pondered for a long time, and finally came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Father, Yifeng is right, Wang Xu is still very honest, he didn't do this, Xiong Cixu Xiao'er also specially told me not to let Wang Xu know." Oh, by the way, Xiong Cilu Xiao'er also told the child, saying that the eldest brother-in-law, Yifeng and Mr. Wang Shirong are all loyal to your father, and it is absolutely impossible for him to buy them, so I am not allowed to let them know. β
"Don't let them know?" Kong Sizhen finally came to her senses, and sneered in her heart: "Dead fat man, no wonder he behaved so well just now, it turned out that he had already dug a pit and waited for Xiong to give this straw bag to jump!" Let Wu Yingqi, a 205 cannon barrel, offend people, and you hide behind to be a good person, and it is also thanks to you that you can figure out such a lack of moral idea. β
Hearing Wu Yingqi's words, Wu Laohan's blackened face finally eased a little, and he snorted coldly: "Count him smart, buy this king's beloved son-in-law and beloved grandson-in-law, as well as this king's henchmen and strategists, look for death!" Come on, give Xiong Ci'er to this king and beat him out of Wuchang City, don't let him dirty the ground of this king! β
"Father, Xiong Cilu still has countless jewels by his side! It's all ready to be sent after you get it. Wu Yingqi was shocked and hurriedly reminded.
"You're rewarded!" Wu Laohan, who knew his son's greed for money, yelled, "You personally took someone to him, copied all his luggage, and rewarded you with everything you found, no matter how much!" The old man wants to see who else has that face, and comes to the old man to get these things back! β
(To be continued)
