Chapter 566: Cui Fu
Walking on the bluestone road, looking at the surrounding scenery, Luo Sigong was in a very comfortable mood. Although Wu Yang's attitude seemed to be resolute, Luo Sigong knew that he was at the end of his rope. In a few days, take some cooperative action, and those people outside will definitely jump around.
Without much effort, Luo Sigong had already come to the front hall, listening to the laughter inside, and frowned slightly. For the eunuchs in the palace, Luo Sigong really didn't want to deal with them, not only was he insatiable, but he also handled some unsightly things on behalf of the emperor many times. Although Jin Yiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, there is no way to compare with these eunuchs in terms of proximity.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no governor in the local officialdom, and the Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Department was the highest administrative body of a province, and the political envoy was the provincial governor. At the same time, there is also a Department of Prosecution and Prosecution, which is in charge of the prison. The garrisons in various places have guards, and the commanders are the commanders.
The three yamen belong to each other, and there are often cases of inefficiency, and it is not uncommon to push the buck. In order to better govern the locality, a governor was set up to take charge of the military and political power of a province. However, such a governor is a high authority, and in order to balance the governor, he sent lieutenants from the palace to guard the eunuchs. At the same time, the inspectors also set up patrol imperial history to inspect the locality. In addition, it was announced that the political envoy department, the criminal envoy department and the health office were relatively independent, which avoided the occurrence of excessive power in the late Tang Dynasty.
However, most of the local eunuchs are greedy for money, sometimes for themselves, sometimes for the emperor, so the reputation of the eunuchs has always been poor. However, because of their identity, the eunuchs guarding the town are really not easy to mess with, and most of them are involved with the father-in-law of the celebrant in one way or another. Luo Sigong didn't have a good impression of these people, but the Cui Gonggong in front of him didn't look at it, because Luo Sigong knew the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Luo Sigong still knows something about this Grandpa Cui. He is the godson of Wang An, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and seal. This identity alone is enough to make many people daunted. Wang An can be said to be the oldest eunuch in the palace, with a high position.
When he was young, Wang An followed Feng Bao and learned Feng Bao's power and strategy ten times, but he was very upright and not as greedy for money as Feng Bao. As a companion to the Emperor Taichang. Wang An's status in the palace is naturally needless to say. When the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, Wang An also made great efforts, and from the time the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne to the present, he has always relied on Wang An very much.
Although there are Wei Dynasty, Wang Chengen, and Chen Hong in Liaodong in the palace, none of them can be compared with Wang An. It was the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, the eunuch who was in charge of the jade seal for the Emperor of the Apocalypse. However, this prince likes to hear that people are afraid of sycophants, and this Cui Gonggong is good at this and has won Wang An's trust.
Luo Sigong didn't take Grandpa Cui in his eyes. But for Wang Anke, he was very jealous, the old eunuch did not fight for power or profit, and sat silently in the position of the palm seal of the master of ceremonies. Luo Sigong's psychology is very clear, and this old eunuch is not aggressive.
Walking into the hall, Luo Sigong saw Grandpa Cui talking with Zhou Jiamo. He is in his forties, with high cheekbones and pointed jaws. With a gentle smile on his face and eyes on him. I couldn't see the eyes, as if there was only a gap there. He was dressed as a eunuch. With a wingless black veil on his head.
"Lord Luo, I really didn't expect to meet Lord Luo here, it's really an honor for our family!" Seeing Luo Sigong walk in, Cui Fu hurriedly stood up, greeted him with a smile, and said.
"Grandpa Cui. I haven't seen you for a long time, but Grandpa Cui's demeanor is still the same! Luo Sigong didn't expect Cui Fu to be so polite, a difference flashed on his face, but he still said politely.
After the two of them sat down, Cui Fu said with a smile: "I have long heard that thoughtful people have arrived in Nanjing. I've always wanted to come over to visit, but a few days ago, Mr. Zhou felt a little sick, and our family didn't want to come over to disturb him. In the past few days, I heard that Lord Zhou has recovered, and our family can't wait to come over, but I didn't expect to meet Lord Luo here, it's really good! ”
Cui Fu's words were very sincere, and the smile on his face seemed to come from the heart, but Luo Sigong didn't believe it at all. Because his words are equally sincere, and his smile is also from the heart. Luo Sigong is not sure whether Cui Fu and Wuyang have colluded, but he is sure that he has received the money.
The three of them weren't chatting here, no one said anything they shouldn't say, they were all in the snow. When it comes to the government, they also praise the wisdom and martial arts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and no one else has said anything.
An hour later, Cui Fu got up to say goodbye, walked out of the Qin Cha Xingyuan, and sat in his sedan chair. Surrounded by the front and rear guards, the group left the Qincha Xingyuan.
After turning four streets, the sedan chair slowly landed, and Cui Fu, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the sedan chair. Without too much delay, I got on the side and took an ordinary-looking sedan chair. The sedan curtain was slowly lowered, and Cui Fu lightly ordered: "Let's go!" Go to Chunjiao Pavilion! ”
The little eunuch who was waiting outside hurriedly ordered the sedan chair man to turn around, and the group continued to walk back, but Cui Fu was no longer inside.
Chunjiao Pavilion is a big brothel in the west of Nanjing, which is noisy and noisy every day. In this Nanjing city, the people who can enter Chunjiao Pavilion are all rich businessmen and magnates, and their identities are extraordinary. The money to be able to marry a wife outside may not be enough for a glass of wine here.
A small sedan chair stopped in front of the door of Chunjiao Building, where no one will judge the identity of the other party according to the quality of the sedan chair. Many people with unusual identities will deliberately prepare a sedan chair that does not attract attention.
Out of the sedan chair came a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing fine Jiangnan silk noodles, his face was white, his beard was not very long, but he looked very comfortable. A good folding fan in his hand, on which is Wen Zhengming's genuine handiwork, is expensive at a glance. The jade pendant on the waist is also extraordinary, and the value may be difficult to estimate.
Such a person is unusual at a glance, and many people also turn their heads at a glance, and they come here for fun, so there is no need to greet this mysterious person.
At this time, it was none other than Cui Fu who came out of the Qincha Yamen, and the lights were on, and the Chunjiao Pavilion had just become lively. Walking into Chunjiao Pavilion with his entourage, Cui Fu had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were open. The gaze was as gentle as the smile on his face. However, the occasional flash of light indicates that this person does not want to be so gentle.
"Yo! This uncle, are you in a private room or are you doing it below? Are there any girls you know? A woman dressed in fancy clothes greeted her, and before she could reach the pungent smell of fat powder, she had already rushed over.
Frowning slightly, he raised his hand slightly, and the fan resisted the woman's chest, Cui Fu took advantage of his face and said, "Are you new here?" Find Miss Cheng for me! ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then her face was a little angry, but when she heard Miss Cheng's three words, she quickly lowered her head. Without a coquettish look, he said respectfully: "Do you wait in the private room, or wait here?" ”
Looking around, it was not dark yet, and there were not many guests in the hall. Pointing to a table in the corner, Cui Fu said in a deep voice: "I'll wait there, you ask Miss Cheng to come over quickly." ”
"Yes, I'll go!" The old bustard said respectfully, turned around and walked briskly to the back.
After a short time, a woman in her thirties walked over, not as gorgeous as the old bustard, but dressed in plain equipment. The cyan long skirt, the hair held high, and the mature and slightly charming face, the whole person gives people a feeling of beauty and refinement. The appearance of the woman in the hall attracted the attention of many people, but no one came over.
"Who was I at the time, it turned out to be Cui Gongzi, Gongzi came at the right time, and Fang Gongzi and they were also behind." When the woman saw Cui Fu, she walked over with a smile on her face.
"Miss Cheng is still so beautiful and lovely, I told you a long time ago not to be here, follow me! Guaranteed you are better than you are here. Cui Fu's eyes flashed with evil, but he regained his clarity in an instant, but he still said with a smile on his lips.
Miss Cheng gently stretched out her hand, drew a few circles on Cui Fu's chest, and said charmingly: "Cui Gongzi values it so much, it is Lian'er's blessing, but now Lian'er still takes Cui Gongzi to see Fang Gongzi!" It's important to get down to business, if you wait for Cui Gongzi to still be in such a mood, Lian'er will serve Cui Gongzi well today. ”
Squeezing Miss Cheng's hand, Cui Fu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Lead the way ahead!" I hope that after meeting Fang Shihong, I am still in the mood to tease Miss Cheng. ”
"Cui Gongzi, come with Lian'er!" With that, Miss Cheng walked in front and walked towards the back.
As soon as he stood at the door, Cui Fu had already heard the sound of an argument coming from inside.
"First the governor of the grain road, now the governor, we are inactive, and the next one to be arrested is ourselves. When everyone present is arrested, we can't do anything we want. ”
"The situation is still unclear, and rash action is likely to wipe out the entire army, and then it will be raided and exterminated."
"Unclear situation? Wu Yang has been caught, as long as he confesses me, who here can escape? ”
"Wu Yang has just disappeared for a day, how can he confess so quickly, the top priority is to find a way to contact Wu Yang. Let Wuyang delay for a few more days, we are not ready here! ”
"Contact? How to get in touch? We can't even find anyone, so we can't do anything about it! ”
"Alright, stop arguing! It's not going to be good, I'm messing with myself first! A voice seemed to be very angry, and said, "Come in, people from outside!" If you can come here, you must not be an outsider! (To be continued......)
