Since the Qing army entered the customs, the Qing court divided Beijing into two cities, the inner city was roughly equivalent to the present-day Dongcheng District and Xicheng District, and only the soldiers and families of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were allowed to live, and the Han, Hui and other ethnic groups who originally lived in the inner city were moved to the outer city of Beijing, that is, the area of today's Chongwen and Xuanwu districts.

In the east straight gate of the inner city, is the station of the white flag, in the rows of luxurious mansions, there is a medium-sized courtyard, the outer wall has some mottled traces, the palace is not as tall as the surroundings, this is the home of Fuxing.

On May 16, the scorching sun was in the sky, but Fufu was shrouded in a gloomy cloud and miserable fog, the news from the palace last night, the general of Jiangning, Fuxing, pursued the bandits in ambush, and died in battle, although Xianfeng issued an order, gave 10,000 taels of silver, and gave Guo Yi a posthumous gift to the Minister of the Guard, and the white flag was unified, however, what is the use of people who have no to ask for these?

Especially if he died in the hands of the bandits, there were no bones left, so he could only take some relics from his life and set up a mound in a few days.

"My son, you died so miserably, you are young, you became a general of Jiangning before you were thirty, our family still counts on you Zhongxing lintel, why are you gone? Woo woo woo~~ "Fuxing's old lady Hesheri held the spirit card and cried bitterly!

Fuxing once claimed to Wang Feng that he was a small Jiangning general, but in fact, General Jiangning was a member of the first rank, the same as the commander and the commander, and his full name was the general of Jiangning and other places, and he was the supreme commander of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Jiangnan by the Qing court, and was at the same level as the governor of Liangjiang, and he was ranked in front of the governor when he performed the same thing, commanding 4,000 troops.

The reason why Fuxing was restrained by Xiang Rong was that his General Jiangning had a signature in front of him, which was equivalent to observation and trial, and more importantly, Xiang Rong had rich experience in suppressing the righteous army, had old qualifications, and was a minister of the Qin Mission, while Fuxing was only an assistant to Xiang Rong's military affairs.

But no matter how you look at it, Fuxing can become the general of Jiangning before thirty, and it can be called a promising future, and his untimely death is indeed a heavy loss for Fufu.

Fuxing's wives and children, concubines, younger siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins, as well as former friends who came to mourn, are also a handful of snot and a handful of tears, all crying like a tearful person, the whole mourning hall is crying, the only one who did not cry is Fuxing's father Wenshou, but his eyes are red, and his eyes are full of hatred!

When Hesheri was crying to the saddest point, her personal maid came in from outside the hall and said, "Old lady, two women have sent you a letter, saying that it is related to the whereabouts of the eldest young master, and I have repeatedly told you not to open it in front of outsiders. ”

"Oh? What about faith? Hesheri's heart was filled with grief for the loss of his son, and when he heard this, it was like a reflex, and his cry stopped!

Facing Hescheli's eyes as wide as copper bells, the maid shuddered in fright, and hurriedly pointed back: "Put it in your house." ”

Unlike the Han women who voluntarily wrapped the three-inch golden lotus, although the flag girls were forbidden to wrap their feet, they longed for the binding of their feet, so they made a little flexibility, wrapped their feet with knives, that is, they did not bend their toes, did not arch their feet, but only wrapped their feet horizontally, thin and straight, thin as a sharp blade, as for Su Sanniang, Hong Xuanjiao, Yang Shuijiao and other Taiping women, all of them are from Hakka, Hakka men have big ears, tall figures, women are graceful, and they are beautiful and self-contained, and the maximum Cheng dù retains the original characteristics of the Han people, and Hakka women never wrap their feet.

I saw that Hesheri almost jumped up, and the two knife feet were like flying, and they disappeared without a trace of smoke.

Everyone was a little puzzled, Wen Shou also found the maid to ask about the situation, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he followed closely.

The husband and wife came into the house, and sure enough, there was an unsigned letter on the table, which Heschelis picked up with a trembling hand, tore off the fire paint, and shook it open!

"It's Fu'er, it's really Fu'er's handwriting, God protect it!" Hesheri shed tears again!

"Oh?" Wen Shou hurriedly grabbed it, different from Hesheri's excitement, his face became heavier and heavier the more he looked at it, and after reading it patiently, he snorted coldly: "This son of a, if he is really dead, he is clean, and he actually fell into the hands of the bandits, if this is spread out, how can our family still have a face?" ”

"What did you say?" Suddenly, like a tigress, Hesheri roared, "Isn't Fu'er your son? Okay, the old lady finally recognizes the true face of your ruthless and unrighteous old thing! ”

Wen Shou was still quite afraid, and hurriedly changed his face and said: "You misunderstood, how can I not worry about Fu'er, but I was captured and had an ugly reputation!" ”

Hesheri's face softened slightly, but he still said with a cold face: "I don't care, Fu'er has suffered so much, maybe one day he will be killed if he gets impatient, you can rescue your son immediately!" ”

Wen Shou said bitterly: "Where did our family get so much silver? plus the 10,000 taels rewarded by the emperor, it is already the limit to be able to take out 50,000 taels, and the bandits want 100,000 taels, and they are not allowed to bargain, even if I sell the house, it is not enough, not to mention that selling the house makes such a big move, how can others not guess what is going on? If this is poked out, Fu'er will come back safely and her future will be ruined! ”

Hesheri thought about it, thought about it for a while, and said: "Even if you borrow money from Yinzi, you have to redeem Fu'er, the emperor has just rewarded Fu'er for leading the ministers of the guard and the white flag, is it possible that the emperor is embarrassed to take it back when he comes back?" From a step by step from a product to a product, isn't this equivalent to an official and a knight? ”

The Minister of the Guard, is a product, in charge of the guards composed of the children of the three banners, Yi Wei is subordinate, which is equivalent to the emperor's side, which is not trivial, and the white flag is unified, in charge of the flag's household registration, field house, upbringing, battalion system, ordnance, and military and political affairs such as the election of officials, drills and training, in short, it is a grasp of military and political power, especially staying in Beijing, no need to go outside to work hard, this is to make a fortune at home!

Wen Shou was moved, so it seems that Fuxing was captured by the bandits, but it is a bad thing to turn into a good thing, as for how to hand over with the current Minister of the Guards and the White Flag, then Xianfeng will have a headache, it has nothing to do with their family!

It's just that Wen Shou still hesitated: "Don't be afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that if things are not thorough, our whole family will be punished by the emperor." ”

Hesheri said disapplausively: "I heard that the bandit killed the Manchurian people when they caught him, and never left a living mouth in his hand, but this time, the bandit named Wang Feng just proposed a ransom of 100,000 taels of silver, according to me, he must be unwilling to publicize it, after all, it is not good for him to spread it, therefore, you first find a trustworthy person to go to Jiangnan, discuss the details with Wang Feng, and we also seize the time to secretly raise silver taels, after there is no problem, make an appointment with him at a time and place, pay the money with one hand, and release the people with the other?" But we have to be careful to prevent him from tearing up the ticket after receiving the money! ”

"Hmm~~" Wen Shou stroked his beard: "It's okay, I'll call someone out of Beijing today, and the funeral at home will be done as usual, and you shouldn't mention it to anyone, by the way, what about the two women who sent the letter?" Possibly found? ”

"You should be leaving, right? The bandits don't dare to stay in Beijing for longer, okay, let's hurry back to the mourning hall, so as not to make people suspicious. Hesheri picked up Wenshou and hurriedly walked out, but his mood was completely different from when he came.
