Chapter 68

Mingzhu inadvertently said that something big would happen when he went there, and Lu Fatzi, who was fascinated by the authorities, found that he seemed to have a little potential for disaster stars - basically when he walked there, there would be a lot of trouble, even if he didn't have the intention to find trouble, the trouble would take the initiative to come to the door, small things would become big things, big things would become big events, big things would become mega events that would cause a sensation across the country, good things would become bad things, and bad things would simply become disasters!

In Yunnan, Lu Fatzi himself just accompanied Wu Sangui and Liu Xuanchu to drink a meal and say a few words, but as a result, the demons in Shuixi, who had been cut down by Wu Sangui for hundreds of years in history, miraculously made a comeback in a short period of time, killing people and setting fires, tossing half of Yunnan Guizhou enough, and at the same time, there were also Nanming remnants who did not know that they got out of the primeval forest, and began to fight piecemeal on the Yunnan border, forcing the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Bian Sanyuan, and Admiral Zhang Guozhu, Li Benshen and other members to play the table. The court was asked to increase the amount of food and wages for repression.

In Guangxi, Lu Fatzi still just said a few words to Sun Yanling, the governor of Guangxi, in the boat, and as a result, Sun Yanling reported to the court about the rebellion of the former Ming Dynasty as if he had taken the wrong medicine, and also asked the Manchu court to increase food and salary, which not only disrupted Kang Mazi's plan to destroy the three feudatories, but also caused Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen to discord with their husband and wife, and had a big quarrel, so angry that Kong Sizhen viciously put on more than a dozen green hats for Sun Yanling.

In Guangdong, Lu Fatzi jumped up and down, and Shang Kexi, who had never dealt with Wu Sangui all his life, also became nervous, under the pretext of resisting Taiwan's Zheng Jing, but also helped Wu Sangui to ask the court for food and wages, and Shang Zhixin, who actually controlled most of the military power in Guangdong, simply secretly formed an alliance with Wu Sangui to join forces against the aggressive Kangxi Xiao Mazi, so that Kang Mazi really saw the powerful threat of the three feudatories and even the four feudatories.

When he arrived in Fujian, it was even more terrible, Lu Fatzi, who had already stopped and didn't want to make trouble, because Fu Honglie took the initiative to provoke, and Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, the two lackeys who were loyal to Xiao Mazi, were beheaded all over the house, and by the way, they also brought a good general Shi Lang, who got rid of the first major trouble for Taiwan's anti-Qing forces. In addition, Xiao Mazi's henchman Kong Sizhen's malicious intention to divide the three feudatories was also made public, exposing a lot of Xiao Mazi's hostility towards the three feudatories, forcing the three feudatories to strengthen contacts and protect themselves.

After the disaster is finished in the south, after running to Yanjing City, Fatty Lu's auspicious aura is even more like opening a plug-in, first killing Yue Wumu's unscrupulous descendant Yue Shenglong, and by the way, carrying the old Han Daniel Zhang also ate melons, and then Zhao Liangdong, who was still in the Ding Worry period, was also beaten for no reason, and even lost hope of a comeback without knowing the reason. At the same time, there were also Li Xu, Nan Huairen, Zhou Peigong and Wang Xu, and a large number of loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and the ministers also became victims of Lu Fatzi's auspicious aura - if it weren't for Xiaozhuang's immediate decision to do his best to preserve, Xiao Mazi's two great heroes, Kong Sizhen and Suo Etu, were almost killed and their homes were raided, making the entire Yanjing City full of chickens and dogs, and a miasma.

These are not counted, what is even more infuriating is that Lu Fatzi, the disaster star Xiangrui, encountered so many important events, not only was he not killed and robbed his home, and the nine clans were exterminated, but on the contrary, he was appointed more and more official positions, bigger and bigger, and more and more appreciated and favored by Xiao Mazi, Ao Bai and Pingxi Wangfu, either made up his mind to envelop this disaster star scourge, or made up his mind to reuse this disaster star scourge! It can be seen from this that the phrase building a bridge without a road and corpses, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt is really not nonsense.

After gossiping a lot, getting back to business, after giving Wang Xu's family a hundred taels of silver, Lu Fatzi and Lin Tianqing and others returned to Wu Yingxiong's Mansion with their own hearts, but when they arrived at Shihu Hutong, it was really Lu Fatzi who walked there, and there must be something there-just happened to catch up with Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili and was driven out by Princess Jianning. Princess Jianning held the crying Shang Wanzhen with one hand, and the horsewhip in the other, standing at the gate of Wu Yingxiong's Mansion and scolding: "Get out!" Get out of the way! Wan Wan wants to live with my sister-in-law, and none of you want to take her away! If you dare to come to the old lady to make trouble here, the old lady will not whip it next time! ”

"Princess, be gracious." Shang Zhili bowed and bowed again, and said with a sad face: "The New Year is coming soon, Wan Yan has to go into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager Lafayette, you just let us take her away, if we miss this important event, none of us can afford to be guilty." ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm not leaving." Shang Wanzhen was also damaged a lot by Fat Lu, crying so much that she took Princess Jianning's hand and choked and begged: "If I go back now, they will definitely beat me and scold me, I'm afraid of ......." ”

"Sister, don't be afraid, you have a sister-in-law to call the shots." Princess Jianning patted Shang Wanyan's hair to comfort her, then turned to Shang Zhixiao's brother and shouted, "Did you hear that?" Sister Wan Yan doesn't want to go with you, you give the old lady a go, Sister Wan Yan enters the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, I will take her there, you don't need to worry about it. ”

After that, Princess Jianning didn't give Shang Zhixiao's brothers a chance to continue to quibble, pulled Shang Wanyan and turned around and left, and shouted: "Close the door, whoever dares to let them in again, the old lady will break someone's leg!" The people of the Wu Mansion over there didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly closed the door with all hands and feet, and Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili brothers also hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door, begging outside the door, "Princess Niangniang, you open the grace, open the grace!" Little sister, little sister, don't make trouble, it's the brothers who are not good, the brothers apologize to you and apologize to you......! ”

"Everyone, go through the back door and get in." Seeing that the situation was not good in the alley, Lu Fatzi hurriedly ordered the dogs to go home through the back door, so as not to be bumped into by the Shang Zhixiao brothers, who were the culprits of this incident. Over there, Zhu Fangdan was also afraid that the scandal of his attempt to molest Shang Wanyan would be exposed, so he quickly nodded and agreed. Lin Tianqing, who is old and sophisticated, is even more afraid of getting involved in these things, so he naturally agrees. It's just that what Lu Fatzi and the others didn't expect was that when they turned to the back door, they ran into Wu Yingxiong, who also took a detour to the back door to go home. As soon as the two sneaky groups of people met at the back door, they naturally couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

"Shizi, you left the gate and didn't leave, why did you go home through the back door?" Fat Lu asked with a smile.

"It's not your kid's bad idea?" Wu Yingxiong smiled and said: "Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili, the two brothers, this time they were miserable by you, half of the officials in Yanjing City know that their sister-in-law lived in my house because of Kong Sizhen's matter, and they were angry, these two brothers are so anxious that they are about to go to the house to uncover the tiles these days, but they are afraid that their father will know about it." ”

"Come on, hold on for a few more days." Fatty Lu cheered up: "As long as Xiao Gege spends the New Year with us and eats the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, these two brothers will be completely finished." The prince of Pingnan, who has lost face, will definitely not be able to spare them, and the prince of Pingnan will definitely thank us greatly. ”

"That's not what you're trying to do, is it?" Wu Yingxiong laughed, lowered his voice and said, "If Xiao Gege of Pingnan Wangfu stays here for one more day, you will also have one more day to find her a chance to contact her feelings, right?" ”

"Xie Shizi understands." Lu Fatzi laughed, and Wu Yingxiong laughed even more. At the end, Lu Fatzi hurriedly pulled Zhu Fangdan over to introduce Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong had also heard of Zhu Fangdan's divine doctor's name, and now seeing that Zhu Fangdan was going to Lu Fatzi's yamen to be a master, he was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to set up a banquet and entertain him.

Lu Fatzi and Wu Yingxiong and a bunch of bad breeds drank wine and ate meat at Wu Yingxiong's house and didn't mention him for the time being, just saying that Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili touched a nose of ashes in Wu Yingxiong's mansion, and saw that it was hopeless to take back his sister to calm down the incident, so he had to return to Shang Zhili's mansion in frustration, and Kong Sizhen, Geng Juzhong, and Geng Xinghe brothers had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili coming back dejectedly, Geng Juzhong couldn't help but sink in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Sister Wan still refuses to come back? ”

"If only she would come back." Shang Zhixiao said angrily: "I cried and made trouble without saying three words when we met, and refused to leave anything, and we were also beaten by Princess Jianning again." ”

"Brother Xiao, it can't go on like this." Geng Juzhong was a little panicked and said: "This day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, if Sister Wan insists on refusing to come back, she will spend Chinese New Year's Eve with Wu Yingxiong, and when we return to Guangzhou and Fuzhou, how can we explain to our father?" The father asked the reason for the little sister's anger again, how did we answer? ”

"How do I know how to answer?" Shang Zhixiao said angrily: "It's a big deal, just answer truthfully, we got too close to Sigege, and we angered Wanyan's stinky girl, so she lived in Wu Yingxiong's house in anger." ”

"Sigege, it's all up to you." Geng Juzhong turned the spearhead at Kong Sizhen and condemned: "If you hadn't sent Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai to assassinate Wanyan's sister, and you still wanted to tarnish her innocent reputation, would things have come to this point?" ”

"You can't rely on me." Kong Sizhen, who also felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger, replied angrily: "You go and ask Shang Zhixiao yourself, does he dare to rely on me?" ”

"Brother Xiao, what do you mean by this?" Geng Juzhong was a little confused, and turned to Shang Zhixiao to askβ€”he didn't know that Kong Sizhen sent someone to assassinate Shang Wanzhen, which was actually Shang Zhixiao's idea and request.

Of course, Shang Zhixiao didn't dare to explain to Geng Juzhong, but he didn't speak with a gloomy face, and after a long time, Shang Zhixiao suddenly slapped the table and roared: "The bad thing is on Lu Yifeng's disaster star, if it weren't for this disaster star to make trouble, things would have turned out like this?" ”

"That's right, it's all to blame for Lu Yifeng's scourge!" Kong Sizhen also found an outlet, slapped the table and said angrily: "If it weren't for the scourge of this calamity, the matter would have ended in Fujian as early as possible, how could it have come to this point, making it difficult for us all to ride tigers and be helpless!" If this scourge is not removed, we will never be at peace! ”

Kong Sizhen's words really came from the heart, and he regretted very much why he wanted to let the scourge of Lu Fatzi live, if he had known that Lu Fatzi could make things go so far, Kong Sizhen would have sacrificed himself for the first time in Yunnan, and at that time, he would have to cut the scourge of Lu Fatzi with a thousand knives!

"Sigege, just use the people of your thirteen yamen to arrest that fat man Lu and cut him with a knife!" Shang Zhixiao was also angry, and slapped the table again and shouted: "Even if you go back and be scolded by the old man, if you cut this scourge, you can still export evil anger!" ”

"You think I don't want to?" Kong Sizhen glanced at Shang Zhixiao, and said hatefully: "If it had been before, I would have chopped this fat man Lu a long time ago, and I wouldn't even have to give Wu Sangui that old thing, and that old thing wouldn't turn his face with me for a seven-rank official the size of a sesame mung bean!" But now, the reputation of this dead fat man has sounded, not only the princes of the three feudal clans know him, but even the emperor and Ao Zhongtang have already met him in person, and the emperor still attaches so much importance to him and pampers him, do I dare to do this? ”

"Then can't you find a handle to clean him up?" Shang Zhixiao roared angrily: "Just find a crime and give him a solid seat, can you still clean up this sesame official?" No, it's best to find a crime of killing the head and stealing the family, and destroy the scourge of the Nine Clans! ”

"That kid is slippery than a loach, you want to catch him for the crime, you can dream about it!" Kong Sizhen glanced at Shang Zhixiao again, and said in her heart that last time in Suo Etu's house, the old lady had already tried to catch the dead fat man, but she was almost cheated by the dead fat man!

"Sigege, Brother Xiao, I heard a message by chance, maybe it will be useful to you." Geng Juzhong, who was standing on the same front as the monk Zhixiao, suddenly spoke, and said slowly: "Here's the thing, the new Fujian Liancheng County Commander is my doorman, and he also entered Beijing as a routine a few days ago to see His Majesty, and he has already received the seal. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in order to leave a good impression on the emperor, he went to the Ministry of Rites to go to the door, and wanted to ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange a good position for him -- that is, the foreign officials lined up to pay New Year's greetings to the front of the team, and the emperor and the Empress Dowager Lafayette could see it at a glance. He also spent two thousand taels of silver for this, but the people from the Ministry of Rites told him that the best position had been arranged by the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Huangji, and he could only occupy the second place. ”

"This is going to work for us?" Shang Zhixiao asked angrily.

"Who is the first person in the foreign official station?" Kong Sizhen was much more shrewd than Shang Zhixiao, and immediately asked, "Wouldn't it be the scourge of Fat Lu?" ”

"That's him." Geng Juzhong nodded and said: "My doorman inquired casually, I wanted to see who was so powerful that he could even go through the door of the Ministry of Rites, but only then did I know that it was that Lu Yifeng." ”

After that, Geng Juzhong also lowered his voice and said: "Sigege, brother filial piety, think about it, at that time, Lu Fatzi's position is so conspicuous, the emperor and the empress dowager will definitely notice him, if at that time, Lu Fatzi's actions or congratulatory gifts have gone wrong, ruining the New Year's ceremony, no matter how much the emperor attaches importance to him and pampers him, can he still run away from a big disrespectful crime of bullying the king?" ”

"Wonderful!" Shang Zhixiao slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth and said: "If he is charged with such a crime on the first day of the Lunar New Year, even if he is not killed and his house is raided, at least he will have to lose his official position and be dismissed!" As long as this kid has no official position, we want to kill him, isn't it the same as pinching an ant to death? ”

"This is indeed a good idea, this fat man Lu is a Western Election Officer, if he has an accident at the New Year's Ceremony, Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong will have to be implicated, and by the way, it can also hit the arrogance of Wu Sangui's old thing to send around to elect Western Election Officials!" Kong Sizhen nodded, and also gritted her teeth and said: "And with the careful eyes of that old thing Wu Sangui, Fat Lu has made such a big ugly appearance to him, how can he slaughter Fat Lu's family, so that we can also take a big breath of evil!" ”

"That's right, that's right, it's time to clean up this fat man." Shang Zhili is a waste who has no idea, and Lu Fatzi has no grievances and no hatred, but at this moment, the second brother is still good, and he can't help but interject and say: "Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, and Father-in-law Zhang have a good relationship with me, I will go to his door, and let Father-in-law Zhang use the old method in the palace to rectify this Fat Man Lu - let him stand in front of a solid floor tile, and when the time comes, he will break his head, and the brick will not make a sound!" ”

"Idiot!" Shang Zhixiao and Kong Sizhen turned their faces and scolded at the same time, "There are so many people at the ceremony, no one can hear him kowtow or not, who cares?" ”

"What about ......, then?" Shang Zhili cried and mourned.

"It would be nice to know what gift Fat Lu is going to give." Geng Juzhong said in a gloomy voice: "Do something with his gifts, and then find a way to shake it out on the spot, then he won't be afraid of anything." ”

"Wait, don't talk yet." Kong Sizhen suddenly raised a finger and motioned for Shang Zhixiao and the others to stop talking for the time being. After recalling for a while, Kong Sizhen said in a deep voice: "Today, the eyeliner of the thirteen yamen came to report, Lu Yifeng's scourge and Lin Tianqing went to the glaze factory, the glaze factory is a place that specializes in selling antique calligraphy and paintings, could it be that this scourge heard that the emperor likes calligraphy and painting, and he also wants to do what he likes and give the emperor such a gift?" ”

"Possibly, what are you going to do with the four squares?" Shang Zhixiao couldn't wait to ask.

"What should I do?" Kong Sizhen laughed cruelly and said: "The emperor has always liked Dong Qichang's words, I spent a lot of effort, and finally got a pair of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" authentic, I originally planned to enter the palace this time to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, since I caught up with this matter, I simply took it out as a favor, and took it to Lu Fatzi to dedicate it to the emperor!" ”

"Sigege, are you crazy?" Shang Zhixiao said angrily: "Such a priceless treasure, you take it to do favors to that scourge, don't you make him more favored?" ”

"What are you anxious about? Listen to me. Kong Sizhen glanced at Shang Zhixiao with a charming look, beckoned everyone to the front, and said in a low voice: "This matter is divided into a few steps, first of all, Shang Zhili is still attached to you, you have to go to the door of Gonggong Zhang, please Gonggong Zhang find an opportunity to give the emperor a breeze before the first day of the new year, and tell the emperor that your second brother is going to enter the palace this time and prepare to dedicate Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" to the emperor. Then Chinese New Year's Eve that afternoon, the second prince went to Shuntianfu to report the case, and said that the painting was stolen ............. ”
