Chapter Eighty-Eight: Return to Kunming
(PS: The pure wolf is a little unwell, as if he is sick, so today's plot and word count are less, please forgive friends.) οΌ
Although Lu Fatzi successfully prevented Lin Tianqing from interceding for Li Shuzu, and also made Lin Tianqing's position, which was already planning to favor him, more inclined to himself, but Lin Tianqing has never officially taken over the office, and it is impossible for Lin Tianqing, the old fox of officialdom who finally turned over, to joke about his future and career because of Lu Fatzi's words, and directly use the extremely taboo method of cutting first and then playing to clean up Li Shuzu, so Lin Tianqing can only follow the rules and procedures, so as not to give others a grip.
Lin Tianqing is really no choice, Li Shuzu was born in the Li family of Tieling, the identity of this family in this dynasty is very sensitive, it is destined not to be too important, but it cannot be bullied casually, and there is a Prince Kang Jieshu standing behind Li Shuzu, this old thing is not a character to provoke, the prince is still the cousin of Xiao Mazi, if he gives full support to Li Shuzu, Lin Tianqing just can't do it if he doesn't want to throw a mouse bogey, of course, he doesn't dare to leave a handle for others to catch, Lin Tianqing is not so stupid.
Of course, Lu Fatzi didn't want to give Li Shuzu a chance to breathe, but unfortunately life was unsatisfactory, on the first day of the first day of March, Lin Tianqing set off from Qujing to Kunming to receive India, and Lu Fatzi also had to follow, one was to participate in Lin Tianqing's inauguration ceremony, and the other was to meet Wu Sangui, Wu Yingqi and Liu Xuanchu and other backers and teachers, which could not be shirked in any case, and the third point, that is, he had to go to Kunming to officially complete the marriage of the monk Wanqi - this point could not be shirked.
So there was no way, Lu Fatzi had to put down the county affairs temporarily, and temporarily entrusted some key human and physical evidence to Yunnan Deputy General Wang Jing to protect to prevent Li Shuzu from killing people and destroying people, and then took his fiancΓ©e Shang Wanzhen and Zhu Fangdan, Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and other dogs to leave Qujing City, and followed Lin Tianqing to Kunming City to take office. Li Tianzhi, who is experienced and experienced and calm, stayed in Qujing City with the three brothers of the Liu family, one is to monitor Li Shuzu's actions, and the other is to cooperate with Wang Jing to protect human and material evidence to minimize the occurrence of any situation.
In addition, under the persuasion of Lu Fatzi, Lin Tianqing secretly summoned Zhang Gaomo, a fellow acquaintance of Qujing who had been overwhelmed by Li Shuzuzu for a long time, and secretly ordered him to spy on Li Shuzu, and promised to bring down Li Shuzu to straighten Zhang Gaomo, and planted another nail beside Li Shuzu. But in any case, Li Shuzu still got an extremely precious respite, and it also gave him a glimmer of hope in his plan to stir things up -- of course, while things were stirring up and winning a glimmer of hope, Li Shuzu himself was also a little more dangerous, and if he was not careful, the end would only be worse.
On the first day of the first month of March, he went out of Qujing City with Lin Tianqing's team, and Lu Fatzi suddenly found that Wu Guogui had also left Qujing City with his wife and hundreds of personal soldiers, and joined Lin Tianqing's team. What, the errand is done? β
"That's it." Wu Guogui nodded, smiled and said: "Wang Junmen didn't say anything about leading the troops, in fact, I just went through a passing scene, and now that the passing is over, I should also go back to hand in the errand, and by the way, I will do another errand on the road." β
"Just run another errand on the road?" Fat Lu shook his head and asked, "What errand?" Between Qujing and Kunming, it seems that there is no big city and a large garrison? β
"What errand? Of course, it's to protect you and your little Gege! Wu Guogui said angrily: "You abducted Xiao Gege of Pingnan Wangfu to Yunnan, made such a big move, and made Pingnan Wang Ye so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, these days Wang Ye has broken his hand every day and quarreled with Pingnan Wangye, with the virtue of Pingnan Wangye, you are not afraid that he will send assassins to kill you?" The prince was worried about this, so as soon as you returned to Qujing, you immediately asked me to bring someone over. β
"Who says I'm not afraid? Otherwise, what am I doing with Fang Shiyu at any time? Lu Fatzi muttered in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that General Wu also has a secret mission to protect the lower officials, how can the lower officials be able to dare to work the generals, they are really flattered, and they are honestly afraid." β
"If you know, it's good." Wu Guogui said unceremoniously: "When you arrive in Kunming, please kowtow to the prince a few more times to thank you, if it weren't for the prince protecting you, several of your heads would have been cut off!" Do you think Pingnan Wangfu is the master who can suffer dumb losses? β
"That's, that's." Fat Lu nodded, agreed with a flattering face, and muttered in his heart: "This matter should actually depend on you - if you had let me see that your daughter Wu Xiaosu was so beautiful, I would have been tempted by Shang Wanyan?" I must have begged the teacher to be a matchmaker to propose marriage, and I still need to make such a big noise? β
muttering in his heart, Lu Fatman's eyes couldn't help but quietly glance at the carriage behind Wu Guogui, hoping to see Wu Xiaosuo's pretty appearance again, which is also the wish of God, just at this moment, Wu Xiaosu happened to poke his head out of the carriage, first smiled politely at Lu Fatzi, and then turned to Wu Guogui and said: "Dad, I'm too bored to sit in the car alone, I want to go and chat with her in Xiao Gege's carriage, is it okay?" β
"There you go." Wu Guogui nodded and agreed. Wu Xiaosu was overjoyed, and hurriedly got off the car with the support of the maid, and quickly ran to the back to get into Shang Wanjian's carriage. Fat Lu couldn't help but be stunned again, and said suspiciously: "These two little girls, when did they become so familiar?" β
"You don't know?" Wu Guogui was stunned at first, and then said: "That's right, you have been busy in the yamen and fields these days, and you shouldn't know that my Xiaofu went to your Xiaogege every day during this time, and they seemed to be very talkative." After that, Wu Guogui added worriedly, "But General Ben can warn you, take care of your wife, my little dodder is still young, don't take my little dodder bad." β
Lu Fatzi smiled bitterly and didn't speak, and he had nothing to say, while Wu Guogui chattered endlessly: "Do you know? Little Gege, how big of a basket did you poke out? The prince of Pingnan made three concerts, impeached the prince for conniving at his subordinates to abduct his daughter, and asked the court to punish the prince. and the poor second prince of Pingnan, who was also miserable by you, and when he returned to Guangdong, he was confiscated of all his military powers, and he was slapped by the prince of Pingnan, and he hated you to the core. That's not all, there is also news that some generals of the Pingnan Palace, have already volunteered to bring troops to come to you to settle accounts! β
"What about the prince of Pingnan?" The only thing that Fat Lu was worried about was Shang Zhixin's reaction, as for Shang Zhixiao's filial piety and what the rest of the people in the Pingnan Mansion thought-Lu Fatzi would let them die! If they really dare to lead the troops to cross the province on suspicion of rebellion, then the fat man will laugh so much that he can't even close his mouth!
"The prince of Pingnan didn't say anything." Wu Guogui said with a smile: "Listening to our eyeliner report in the Pingnan Palace, the prince of Pingnan also fell into the well this time and cleaned up his ambitious brother, and pointed out to his face that Xiao Gege was actually taken away by Shang Zhixiao, and encouraged the prince of Pingnan to vent his anger like Shang Zhixiao. Looking at this posture, Shang Zhixin at least won't hate you, but may thank you a little secretly. β
"As long as Shang Zhixin is not popular." Fat Lu breathed a sigh of relief - Fat Lu was not afraid that Shang Zhixin would turn his face with him, the key was that in the second half of the year, if he wanted to open up the sales of Eight Banners Fushou Paste overseas, he must borrow Shang Zhixin's strength in Guangzhou.
Finally waited for Wu Guogui, who was a little broken-mouthed, to talk enough, Lu Fatzi hurriedly found an excuse to return to his team, and touched Shang Wanyan's carriage under the pretext of visiting his fiancΓ©e, lifted the curtains, and asked Shang Wanzhen and Wu Xiaosuo, who were chatting energetically, with a smirk: "Wanyan, is it still comfortable in the car, do you want to add some cotton mattresses?" Qujing to Kunming more than 200 miles, you have to walk for two days, are you used to it? β
Concerned about Shang Wanyan, Lu Fatzi's small eyes secretly stared at Wu Xiaosuo, quietly swallowed his saliva, and began to fantasize in his heart, "What a wonderful thing it would be if I could sleep with these two little beauties at the same time?" β
"It's okay, it's comfortable in the car." Shang Wanzhen didn't notice the sinister intentions of Fat Lu, but just commanded and ordered: "Go, bring the candied fruit and melon seeds I brought from Qujing, the ones in the car have been eaten by me and Sister Xiaosu." Also, let the maid boil water in the car to make a pot of tea, and ask for your Yunnan Pu'er tea. β
"Okay." Fat Lu agreed, a pair of thief eyes were still staring at Wu Xiaosu's small breasts, which had begun to take shape, and his body refused to move. Shang Wanyan finally found out that the situation was wrong, and quickly blocked Fat Lu's sight with her body, reached out of the window, grabbed Fat Lu's ears, and pulled Fat Lu in front of her, and shouted in a low voice without smiling: "Dead fatty, where are your eyes looking?" Isn't it boring? β
Although Shang Wan's sinister appearance of smiling and smiling is still so moving, and her beautiful eyes flashing with murderous aura are still shining, Lu Fatzi was still so frightened that the fat on his whole body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "No ......, I didn't look there?" β
"Didn't you look there?" Shang Wanzhen's smile became more and more cold, but considering that Wu Xiaosu was behind him, and there were countless sergeants and officials beside him, the more rational Shang Wanzhen finally suppressed his anger, pulled Lu Fatzi's ears in front of him, and said in a very low voice: "There are too many people, give you a little face, and I will settle accounts with you at night!" By the way, I will give you a piece of advice, Sister Xiao has just turned fourteen years old, and if you have a bad idea to beat her, the old lady will be the first to strangle you! Do you understand? β
"Ming...... Got it. Fat Lu trembled and agreed, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Just turned fourteen? It's still relatively small, do I still have a chance? When I have power, guns, guns and territory, am I afraid that Wu Guogui will not obediently marry my daughter? β
"What are the eyeballs turning? Are you thinking about some bad idea again? After sleeping with Fat Lu for two months, Shang Wanyan could see at a glance that Fat Lu was suffocating in his heart, and in anger, Shang Wanyan twisted Fat Lu's fat ears fiercely, and shouted in a low voice: "Why don't you get out of here?" Do you want me to beat you up worse at night? Fat Lu trembled all over, and finally left obediently.
In short, when Yilong Fort rested for the night that night, an extremely terrifying scream suddenly sounded in Yilong Fort, not only screaming for half a night, making the whole Yilong Fort unable to sleep, but also solved the problem of beasts hurting people that had plagued Yilong Fort for many years in one fell swoop - what tigers, leopards and wild wolves, all scared away!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the morning of the third day of the first month of March, Lin Tianqing, Wu Guogui, and Lu Fatzi's team finally arrived at the city of Kunming, and the officials in Kunming went out of the city to greet them, and Wu Sangui also sent Wu Yingqi and Liu Xuanchu as representatives to welcome Lin Tianqing's re-appointment. Seeing Liu Xuanchu who led him on the road again after half a year, Lu Fatzi was both excited and excited, and immediately pulled Shang Wanzhen out of the car and saluted in front of Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi. β
"Haha!" Wu Yingqi is not as calm as Liu Xuanchu, as soon as they met, he hugged Fat Lu and lifted Fat Lu up directly, holding Fat Lu's body of about 200 pounds and shaking and laughing: "Okay, you Fat Lu, you're finally back!" Well done, well done! Among so many officials I personally promoted, you are the most angry for me! β
Wu Yingqi is indeed grateful to Lu Fatzi, because the Fat Lu he personally promoted has succeeded in doing things one after another, one by one more difficult errands and more beautiful than the other, not only the Pingxi Mansion has benefited from it, Wu Sangui is full of praise, love the house and Wuxia, Wu Yingqi, who has a 'wise eye', has also been praised by his father, and has also shouldered more burdens and gained more power, and his attitude towards Lu Fatzi, a capable man, can not be worse? Excited, Wu Yingqi simply said: "Yifeng, do you know? Thanks to you, my father has allowed me to appoint ...... officials at the prefecture level. β
"Second prince, be cautious." Fortunately, there was a particularly calm Liu Xuanchu next to him, who stopped him in time, and then whispered to Nunu next to him: "Second prince, there are too many people present, and I will talk about confidential words when I return to the palace." β
"Well, ......." Wu Yingqi reluctantly agreed. Over there, the fat man Lu was also afraid that Wu Yingqi's big mouth would talk nonsense and make a big mistake, so he quickly pulled Shang Wanqi over and introduced: "Wanyan, this is Mr. Liu Xuanchu and the second prince Wu Yingqi, if it wasn't for their strong recommendation, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see you in Guangdong, after I returned to Yunnan with you, I also relied on them to deal with us in front of the prince, so that we could always be safe." They are all our benefactors, so give them a salute. β
Hearing these words of Fat Lu, Shang Wan's face turned red, and she didn't know whether to thank Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi, or to hate them - why did he send Fat Lu to Guangdong, his nemesis? But Shang Wanqian still honestly blessed Liu Xuanchu and Wu Yingqi, and said with a red face: "The little girl Shang Wanqian has seen Mr. Liu and the second prince. β
"Little Gege doesn't have to be polite." Liu Xuanchu returned the salute respectfully. Wu Yingqi symbolized the arch of his surname, unceremoniously and carefully looked at Shang Wantong, and then smiled evilly at Lu Fatzi, "Fat Lu, I can't see that you still have such a hand, such a beautiful little Gege, and you can also turn to Yunnan." is worthy of the talent who went out of our Pingxi Palace, he didn't embarrass the palace, and he didn't embarrass me! β
Fat Lu smirked, Shang Wanyan's little face was even redder, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Liu Xuanchu saw Shang Wanyan's embarrassment, waved it with a dry tobacco stick, and said: "Don't talk here, Lord Lin's seal ceremony will be held tomorrow, Yifeng, you go over to say hello to Lord Lin, let's go back to Wuhua Mountain together, the prince has already prepared a banquet there, and is ready to personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for your little couple." β
"Yes." Fat Lu agreed, and was about to turn around and say hello to Lin Tianqing. But at that moment, a few fast horses suddenly rushed over Wuhua Mountain, the first person with a long robe and green placket, beautiful eyes and eyebrows, but it was Wang Shirong, the only opponent of Lu Fat Man in Pingxi Wangfu so far, Lu Fat Man couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart that I am afraid that there will be no happy thing today.
Sure enough, Wang Shirong really came for Fat Lu, and went straight to Fat Lu before turning over and dismounting, and walked directly in front of Fat Lu with a calm face. Liu Xuanchu was afraid of a conflict between the two, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Liangchen, if you have anything to say back to the palace." Yifeng, don't talk nonsense. β
"Mr. Mao Yao, do you think Wang Shirong is really so narrow-minded, and this time he is here to embarrass Lord Lu?" Wang Shirong asked Liu Xuanchu unhappily.
"And what are you going to do?" Liu Xuanchu paused for a moment and said, "Before, the old man invited you to greet Lord Hou Lin and Yifeng, didn't you say that you were not feeling well?" β
"I was a little unwell before, but now something has happened and I have to come." Wang Shirong replied coldly.
"What's wrong?" Fat Lu finally spoke, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart.
"The matter between you and Li Shuzu is a big one." Wang Shirong threw a small bamboo pipe into Lu Fatzi's arms, turned around and left, "Guiyang just came to the flying pigeon to pass the book, Li Shuzu used six hundred miles to expedit, Yue Ji reported to Bian Sanyuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, impeached Lin Tianqing for accepting bribes from you, deliberately favoring and slandering him, and asked Bian Sanyuan to intervene." β
Speaking of this, Wang Shirong had already re-mounted his war horse and said coldly: "In addition, there is news, on the day you left Qujing, Li Shuzu's wife Ren Zeyu set off for the capital, and the speed was very fast, and he arrived in Anshun yesterday!" ββI really don't know how you and Lin Tianqing did it, since you want to attack Li Shuzu, why do you want to give him a chance to breathe? β
After that, Wang Shirong patted the horse and left without looking back, and Lu Fatzi and Wu Yingqi looked at each other, I really couldn't understand how Wang Shirong, who had always been unhappy with Lu Fat, could become like this. However, Liu Xuanchu smiled, patted Lu Fatzi on the shoulder and said: "Liangchen has always had this temper, although his mind is a little narrow-minded, but his position is still very firm on the major rights and wrongs related to the Pingxi Palace-otherwise, as long as he reveals your identity to the court a little, your mission will not be so easy to handle." Okay, go and give this thing to Lin Tianqing, and let him get ready. β
