After buying the weapon, Wu Shigong felt a little stunned. The price of this weapon is too expensive. Wu Shigong has traveled to the Ming Dynasty for more than a month, and he basically understands that the ratio of silver to modern currency is about 1:500 to 1:1,000. Even at a ratio of 1:500, the purchase of these weapons is equivalent to 1.75 million yuan in modern times. Counting each gambling house guard, there are more than 10,000 each. And they weren't equipped with anything, just two knives per person, plus a few muskets. Wu Shigong did not know that in the Ming Dynasty, the manufacture of weapons was mainly manual, and the price was of course much more expensive than modern industrial production. However, the price of weapons this time is indeed a bit high for Yang Goudan, and Wu Shigong is also the big one.

Now, in addition to patrolling the site of cleaning up the ruins every day, Wu Shigong has more free time. So, I often sneak home to spend time with my little wife, after all, they are still on their honeymoon. Wu Shigong is not very afraid of his father-in-law Xue Lian scolding him for being lazy now, because he has Xue Yufei by his side, such a defensive artifact. However, it's not good to be at home all day long. One day, Wu Shigong took two hundred taels of silver and some gifts to visit Sun Chengxiu, who was also on the honeymoon.

Sun Chengxiu now rents a small courtyard to live in. Of course, I was very happy to see Wu Shigong's arrival. Hurriedly instructed his daughter-in-law to get some wine and food, and the two chatted while drinking. Although Wu Shigong and Sun Chengxiu have a fifteen-year age difference and some differences in personality and temperament, they do fall in love. The two chatted about the lace in the capital and talked about some interesting things in the past, as if they had endless words. was chatting happily, and Sun Chengxiu's house had a few more guests.

The visiting scholars asked Sun Chengxiu to attend a literary meeting. Sun Chengxiu introduced Wu Shigong to those scholars, and both sides saluted politely. When a scholar named Yu Zilian was introduced, Yu Zilian said a few words about Wu Shigong in a weird way. Anyway, the meaning of the words pointed out that Wu Shigong was a eunuch.

In the previous life, the roles of eunuchs were basically villains, and Wei Zhongxian was the superstar of villains. Although Wu Shigong involuntarily got on Wei Zhongxian's boat, he always knew the good and the bad in his heart, so he was always a little ashamed of his identity as a Wei party. Today, Yu Zilian ridiculed him as a eunuch, and Wu Shigong was a little unhappy.

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Sun Chengxiu hurriedly stepped forward to play a round. But when Yu Zilian saw that Wu Shigong was silent, he became energetic. said Wu Shigong several times one after another. Wu Shigong basically didn't understand the meaning of the words, but after seeing the scholars next to him listening to them, they laughed again and again, and Wu Shigong knew that there were no good words. This is the abomination of literati, and they don't swear a dirty word when they scold people.

Sun Chengxiu saw such a situation on the side, but he was embarrassed. I don't know if I should persuade it? Still not persuaded? Seeing Sun Chengxiu embarrassed, Wu Shigong was not easy to attack. Besides, Wu Shigong, whether in his previous life or in this life, respects knowledgeable people more. And those eunuchs scolded by scholars are not wrong. Therefore, Wu Shigong pinched his nose, held back his breath, and after saying goodbye to Sun Chengxiu, he left in a gloomy manner.

By mid-July, the wind in the court began to change. In response to the impeachment storm launched by the Donglin Party, the opposition of other civilian officials has also increased. Some of the civil officials who opposed the Donglin Party were Wei Zhongxian's henchmen; Some of them were civil officials of other parties, and when they saw that the Donglin Party was not gaining momentum, they fell into the ground for the Donglin Party. However, among them, there are also some really upright civil officials, who saw that the disaster relief was indeed beginning to work, so they came to refute the nonsense of the Donglin Party. In the face of these opposition, the Donglin Party became more and more courageous, and the impeachment launched was wave after wave, and the rhetoric became more and more fierce each time. This gave the Emperor of the Apocalypse a headache, causing him to scrap it several times in succession when he was doing carpenter work.

Of course, Wu Shigong won't worry about the affairs of the court, he does have more free time during the day now, but there are more banquet invitations at night. Basically, they are all invited by guilds and gangs in the southern city. Wu Shigong naturally would not lose his identity to participate in this kind of banquet, so he basically gave this opportunity to his subordinates and asked them to attend on his behalf. Since Xu Yanmu is also busy at night, this kind of good thing basically falls on Zhou Xun's head.

This approach made Zhou Xun very grateful, and felt that Wu Shigong, the boss, was brave and capable, and he was very generous. In fact, this is just a habit of Wu Shigong from his previous life. As a boss, there are always likes and dislikes for your subordinates. It's okay for a boss to be a little biased when facing a subordinate, but as long as the subordinate has made an achievement, whether he likes it or not, he must give a reward. Although Zhou Xun provoked Wu Shigong when he first arrived at the Terracotta Division, in the future, whether it was military training or cleaning up the ruins, he performed relatively well, so it was appropriate to give Zhou Xun an appropriate reward. Young people don't have any overnight feuds, and the relationship between Wu Shigong and Zhou Xun is much more harmonious.

But later, there were two strange invitations that Wu Shigong had to attend.

Once it turned out to be Gu Yushi who invited him. Although Nagu Yushi only wrote a painless impeachment note, he came to impeach Wu Shigong, the small backbone of the Wei party. But now, Nagu Yushi is scared again. He was afraid that his impeachment would make Wu Shigong hold a grudge, thinking that Wu Shigong was spit on for his subordinates, and he was going to kill two people, so Wu Shigong's strength must be a big deal. Therefore, I wanted to invite Wu Shigong to make up for the relationship between the two sides.

But Gu Yushi couldn't let go of the face of the people, and he was unwilling to explain it directly. So the atmosphere at the banquet was strange. Although Gu Yushi and Wu Shigong seem to be talking and laughing, there is always a feeling that the two sides can't find a common language. Gu Yushi expressed his wishes several times in concealment, but first, Wu Shigong did not know the true purpose of Gu Yushi's invitation to his banquet, and second, Wu Shigong, a rough man, really couldn't understand Gu Yushi's hidden words. Therefore, the banquet zuihou also ended in vain.

After the banquet, Wu Shigong brought Zhang Kequan over and told Zhang Kequan the strangeness in his heart, asking him to help analyze the meaning of Gu Yushi. After listening to the interaction between Wu Shigong and Gu Yushi in detail and Gu Yushi's words at this banquet, Zhang Kequan guessed Gu Yushi's thoughts.

In fact, in his heart, Wu Shigong didn't want to do anything to Gu Yushi's boss at all. After knowing Gu Yushi's thoughts, Wu Shigong went to his father-in-law Xue Lian to inquire, and Xue Lian told him that Wei Zhongxian didn't take Gu Yushi's little shrimp in his eyes at all.

Who wouldn't want to do this kind of favor? So, Wu Shigong sent someone to Gu Yushi to report a letter. At that time, Gu Yushi thought that the purpose of the banquet was not successful, and he was going around in his house. When he heard Wu Shigong's good news, he was immediately overjoyed.

Gu Yushi immediately prepared a generous gift and sent it to Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong accepted Gu Yushi's kindness, but did not accept the gift. Wu Shigong didn't want to make his relationship with Gu Yushi the same as doing business. This made Gu Yushi even more grateful.

Another banquet was a Huang Tongzhi from Shuntian Mansion.

The Fu Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, this time in the matter of sending conscripts to clean up the ruins, played Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian together. What's even more hateful is that Nafu Yin actually accepted the money and didn't do anything. Therefore, on Wei Zhongxian's blacklist, the Fu Yin of the Shuntian Mansion is definitely among the best. And this time, when the factory guards and the Soldiers and Horses Division distributed the benefits of the Nancheng Gang, Weishenme did not include the Shuntian Mansion, and the main reason was also to vent his anger for Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian.

In the face of such a situation, the Fu Yin of Shuntianfu is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water anyway. But the officials at the bottom of Shuntianfu were all panicked, afraid that they would be harmed by the pond fish, and they would be served by Wei Zhongxian when the time came. And Huang Tongzhi has some other ideas: if the position of Nafu Yin can't be kept, is it possible for Huang Tongzhi, the second-in-command of Shuntianfu, to be moved?

But a petty official like them couldn't see Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian at all, so Huang Tongzhi came to invite Wu Shigong and wanted to contact him.

Hearing the invitation from the officials of Shuntian Mansion, Wu Shigong wanted to refuse directly at the first time. But along with the invitation post, two hundred taels of silver were sent. For the sake of Yinzi's face, Wu Shigong agreed to the meeting with Huang Tongzhi, wanting to hear what Huang Tongzhi had to say.

At the banquet, Huang Tongzhi made his intention 1510 clear. With such a big matter, Wu Shigong didn't dare to make his own decisions. He introduced Huang Tongzhi to his father-in-law Xue Lian. After Xue Lian thought about it, he introduced Huang Tongzhi to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian agreed to Huang Tongzhi's request, but asked Huang Tongzhi to write an impeachment letter impeaching Shuntianfu Mansion Yin for corruption and perversion of the law. At this time, the more shells against the Donglin Party, the better. Besides, Huang Tongzhi gave Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian a generous gift afterwards. Even Wu Shigong received another small gift.

As for the distribution of the benefits of the gang in Shuntian Mansion, compared to these major events now, Huang Tongzhi has never mentioned it to Wu Shigong at all.

When Emperor Tianqi once again did a bad job of carpenters, and was furious, Wei Zhongxian promptly handed over to Emperor Tianqi to read the letters of thanks of all the people he had collected and the summary of the sentences insulting Emperor Tianqi in the impeachment recital of the Donglin Party. Emperor Tianqi added fuel to the fire after seeing it, and immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian to punish those civil officials who had no king and no father. Wei Zhongxian's purge of the Donglin Party began.
