Chapter 50 The officials of the Ming Dynasty are not cheap
The person Du Du said was Hou Sui, who was Taichang Siqing at the time. The name Hou Sui was heard by him from Hou Shilu's mouth.
At the beginning of the Nuer Haqi army, Hou Shilu led the whole family to become a traitor happily, and often compared his qualifications with other traitors: "When did you work for Dajin?" Oh, it's the forty-eighth year of Wanli, it's called big brother, but I followed the Great Khan in the forty-fourth year of Wanli. "It's shameless.
Hou Shilu once mentioned that Hou Sui was his cousin who did not come out of Wufu, and often exchanged letters with him, informing him of the Ming Dynasty's resolution involving Liaodong, and faintly had the intention of taking refuge. Du Du laughed after hearing this, thinking that Hou Shilu was bragging. Unexpectedly, Hou Shilu heard that Du Du was going to Daming to kill Feng Menglong, so he specially found him and asked him to bring a letter to Hou Sui, and said that Hou Sui could assist him in completing the task.
Hou Sui's mansion was not difficult to find, and the six of them found his house without much effort. However, the king of Hades was good, and the little ghost was difficult, so he ran into trouble when he asked the porter to help them send a message to Hou Sui. The concierge said that he would not send it, and that the adults had an order, and all idlers were exempted. Angry that he almost drew a knife to slaughter the porter, he saw that the doorman did not want to pass the letter, but did not want to send the letter at no cost, and handed over a piece of silver weighing 2 taels, and the porter happily handed the letter in.
After a while, the door opened, and the two housekeepers invited the six into the living room.
Hou Sui stood under the middle hall and said, "It's nice to have friends from afar." Welcome, guest from Liaodong. ”
Hou Sui is a middle-aged man, with fair skin, lying silkworm eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, five locks of ink hair without wind, and a beautiful man. In fact, if you can be an official of the Ming Dynasty, your appearance will not be too ugly, because there is an interview section in each level of the exam, and the crooked ones have long been eliminated. It is already a fluke that a superb obscene gentleman like Fan Wencheng can pass the exam, and if he wants to go further in the examination room, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Du Du was stunned for a moment, and barely suppressed the jealousy in his heart. This Hou Xianwen can't be in peace, and he can't set the country in martial arts, but he can be a big official in the court of the Ming Dynasty, and he is clothed and fed every day, and the most hateful thing is that he is a little more handsome than himself. Look at yourself, the wind and sun, coupled with the ugly foundation handed down by Ai Xinjueluo's ancestors, looks like a god and a ghost, and I feel a little disgusted when I look in the mirror.
Du Du muttered in his heart, but said on his lips: "Lord Hou, I have been looking up for a long time." General Shi Lu misses you very much, Mr. Hou, and specially sent a letter to you to report your safety. ”
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"What, Hou Shilu's minion didn't say anything in the letter?" Du Du was very surprised and blurted out a curse.
Jiannu likes slaves, whether it is to accept slaves or to be slaves. When the Ming Dynasty was strong, he was a slave of the Ming Dynasty, and after he entered the Central Plains, he became a slave of foreigners. According to the strange logic of Jiannu, it is better to say that others are slaves, and you are not qualified to be a slave, for example, after entering the Central Plains, Manchen can call himself a slave, and Hanchen does not even have the qualifications to be called a slave. Hou Shilu likes to listen to Jiannu scolding him as a slave, and often says that he doesn't hear his master scolding him as a slave, and the meal is not fragrant.
Hou Sui is a member of the Donglin Party, how can he know the quirks of Jiannu, and he is angry in his heart, because if Hou Shilu is a slave, doesn't that mean that he is also a slave? However, thinking that these six people were distinguished guests from the Dajin Kingdom, he suppressed his anger again.
Hou Sui sneered: "Stupid, can you write in the letter that you want me to help you with anything?" If you specify what you want to do, if you lose a letter, it will cause a lot of trouble. ”
Du Du suddenly realized and said: "In this case, then I will say it directly, I want you to help me kill two people, Feng Menglong and Zhu Cheng." ”
Hou Sui was taken aback, sat down on the stool, and said, "God, you actually want to kill these two people." ”
After a moment of silence, Hou Sui instructed the family: "Wangcai, send off guests." ”
When the family heard this, he made a gesture of sending off the guests to Du Du and his party, and said, "Please, a few masters, the master invites you out." ”
Ni Kan was furious and shouted: "Hou Sui, Lao Tzu can afford you, so I asked you for help, don't be embarrassed." ”
Hou Sui was furious, he is now in the third rank, and he is also a figure with a head and face in the Donglin Party, where has he been insulted, and shouted: "Get out!" Don't defile my house, sir. ”
Du Du shouted to Nikan, "Shut up! ”
Then Du Du turned to Hou Sui and said, "Lord Hou, whether you can help or not, you can tell us the reason, so that we can understand." Besides, Hou Shilu still has something to send to us. ”
Du Du thought that Hou Sui's porter was so greedy, and he might not be much better, so he took out a few pearls from his arms and held them up. Liaodong is rich in pearls, Jiannu is good at pearl diving, the pearls they collect are called Dongzhu, round and smooth, the light can shine on people, has always been the best of the price.
Hou Sui glanced at the pearl and turned his back.
Seeing that the family no longer pushed them, Du Du knew that there was a door, and was ruthless, so he took out all the pearls in his arms, and said, "Lord Hou, these twenty pearls are all given to you by my brother Hou Shilu." ”
When Hou Sui saw the twenty superb pearls, he replied with disgust and said, "Since you helped Hou Shilu bring the pearls, then I will not be polite." However, when did you call Hou Shilu your brother? ”
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Du Du's heart was relieved, and he immediately felt sorry for those pearls, and said in his heart: "The Great Khan is not right, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not cheap, such a small official cost me twenty pearls." If these pearls are to be sold on the street, how much can they be sold for? ”
His heart ached, but he said with a smile: "How can I bow down to Hou Shilu, isn't my brother your brother's honorific title?" ”
"My brother calls me my brother, Hou Shilu is my younger brother, you should call me Brother Ling."
"Taught. However, Lord Hou, why did you drive us out as soon as I mentioned the names of the two people I wanted to kill? ”
"You don't know, Zhu Cheng is the emperor's brother-in-law, the emperor's edict should not be chopped, when it should not be beheaded, when it should be hanged or not, when it is not flowing, when it is not closed, when it is not beaten, that is to say, even if it is a rebellion, it is fine. You say, what can I do with him? He became a nine-rank official at the age of seven, and now he is a thousand households of the fifth grade, and he has defeated two earls, a third-grade Shuntianfu Yin, a five-rank Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, and a seven-rank imperial history. Last year, three dukes, thirteen marquises, and eleven counts jointly impeached him, but he was disgraced and lost money. You say, is he easy to mess with? Besides, Feng Menglong, that is Zhu Cheng's favorite general, just to help him get angry, Zhu Cheng made a big fuss in Jinluan Palace, and made the reputation of Li Sancai, the veteran of the Donglin Party, stinky, so that he couldn't even stay in his hometown and was forced to leave his hometown. If you want me to move these two people, don't you want me to kill myself? ”
Du Du and Nikan listened to the tongue sticking out of the elder, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Du Du said: "It seems that there is no one in the DPRK who can help us get rid of Zhu Cheng and Feng Menglong?" ”
Hou Sui sneered: "You are looking for me, change someone, and directly tie you up and send you to Jinyi Wei to ask for merit and reward." ”
Du Du was speechless, but fortunately, Hou Shilu, the dog minion, recommended Hou Sui to himself, otherwise he didn't know how he died.
Ni Kan whispered to Du Du: "Big brother, why don't we go back, listen to Hou Sui's meaning, there is no one in the entire Ming Dynasty to deal with him." ”
Du Du whispered: "Since Ama was killed, our life has become more and more difficult day by day, this time we finally robbed this messenger, and it was messed up, how can we go back and pay the errand?" Didn't the Han people say that wealth and wealth are sought in danger. Since we're here, we're going to take risks, and I don't want to go back to the days when I bow my head when I see people. Besides, the Great Khan meant to let us kill Feng Menglong, and the Ming officials were just assisting from the side. Now that the Ming officials can't help, we'll do it ourselves. ”
Ni Kan was trained for a degree, remembering his miserable life after his father Chu Ying was hanged, and hurriedly said: "Yes, let's do it ourselves." ”
Du Du turned to Hou Sui and asked, "Since the bright one can't work, let's come to the dark one." Lord Hou, do you know where Feng Menglong and Zhu Cheng live? ”
"You want to kill him? Maybe it's a good idea. Although Zhu Cheng is a thousand households and has thousands of soldiers under his command, those soldiers are all recruited and trained by him, and what elite soldiers can a 12-year-old child train, it is not a child who plays at home. Zhu Cheng lived in the Huangzhuang Management Center in the middle of the Jingxi Huangzhuang twenty miles away from the capital, and Feng Menglong should live with him. There are 10,000 brocade guards in Jingxi Huangzhuang, but don't worry, they are all recruited and trained by Zhu Cheng, and they don't have any skills, they just look scary. Tomorrow, I'll lend you a carriage...... Forget it, you should buy a carriage yourself, go to Jingxi Huangzhuang, and see the situation first. ”
Hou Xun's mind changed, in case Du Du failed to kill, don't involve himself, so he changed his mind and let Du Du buy the carriage by himself.
The guards of Jingxi Huangzhuang were not tight, and they entered Jingxi Huangzhuang very lightly. Du Du is proud, but now the place where the Huangzhuang guards are lax is the crop field, and all the military camps are guarded like iron buckets.
Du Duxin said: "It's okay to do what to defend the military camp, Dajin Kingdom will only defend the military camp when it is fighting, and there are no people in the military camp in peacetime, what do you do if you guard it so tightly." This Ming man is really cowardly. ”
Coming to the Huangzhuang Management Center, this is a walled city-style building, with bright and dark sentries staggered, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After turning around, there is a house next to the wall at the back of the current walled city, forming a dead corner about two zhang wide, and if you continue to climb up two zhang from the wall, you can climb into the management center from a window above. There's only one guard here, and if you kill this guard, you'll be able to get into the management center without even noticing.
Without further ado, Du Du decided to do it tonight.
