Chapter 30: Dividing the Spoils

According to Kangxi's meaning, he beat Wu Yingxiong with a stick and gave Wu Yingxiong a sweet date. After beating Wu Yingxiong, it was time to appease him, and by the way, he extorted another sum of money. Now Wu Yingxiong has the intention of bowing his head and giving in, and it seems that he can appease Wu Yingxiong and extort money. But Xiang Yan promised Fang Yi that he would scare Wu Yingxiong as much as possible. It is best that Wu Yingxiong was uneasy and persuaded Wu Sangui to rebel after fleeing back to Yunnan. Kangxi's meaning is the opposite of Fang Yi's meaning, who does Xiang Yan listen to? Of course, I listened to Fang Yi. How could it be so easy to let Wu Yingxiong pass?

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "Little prince, you get up." Alas, you're too hard for the two of us. The emperor is both holy and clear, who is loyal and who is traitorous to him, where do we need to talk more beside him? And who dares to talk nonsense next to it? But you don't have to worry about the little prince, King Pingxi has made great contributions to the court, and the emperor actually trusts King Pingxi very much. As long as the little prince goes to defend himself, I think the emperor can understand the loyalty of your father and son. ”

Wu Yingxiong said: "Yes, yes." After the humiliation of the fold, the two fathers-in-law must preside over justice, and confess to Weichen's father and son in front of the emperor, the Wu family is full of hundreds of people, and the two fathers-in-law help to save their lives. Wei Xiaobao said: "Little prince, I have an idea, although it is not nine out of ten, but most of them can clear your father and son's crimes, but it is too troublesome." Wu Yingxiong was overjoyed and said, "It's all up to my father-in-law to rescue him."

Wei Xiaobao said: "These assassins really weren't sent by you?" Wu Yingxiong said: "No. How can a lowly office do such a heinous and sinful thing that deserves death? Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, I made you a friend, so I believe you this time." If the assassin had been sent by you and found out in the future, it would have killed me, and I would have to accompany you to kill me. ”

Wu Yingxiong said: "Father-in-law Wan'an, put a hundred hearts, there will be no such thing." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then according to you, who sent these thieves?" Wu Yingxiong groaned: "Weichen's father and son have a lot of enemies, and it is really difficult to determine for a while." Wei Xiaobao said: "If you want me to confess in front of the emperor, you have to find an enemy to come out and recognize your head, so that the emperor can believe it!"

Wu Yingxiong said: "Yes, yes!" My father fought the world for the Qing Dynasty, and there were really a lot of rebellions that were exterminated, and these rebellious remnants hated my father very much. It's like Li Chuang's remnants, the remnants of the former Ming Tang Dynasty and King Gui, and the remnants of the Yunnan Mu family, they have a grudge in their hearts, and they do everything they can do to commit crimes. ”

Wei Xiaobao nodded and said: "What Li Chuang Yu is rebellious, the remnants of the Mu family in Yunnan, what is the number of martial artists of these people?" You teach me a few tricks, and I'll show it to the emperor, saying that I saw it with my own eyes last night, and the assassin used this kind of trick, which is genuine, and I can't make a mistake. Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Xiaobao, don't talk nonsense. Duo Manager and Deputy Chief Rui didn't recognize the tricks of the assassin assassin, but you recognized it, do you want to say that Duo Manager and Deputy Rui are all rice buckets? Wei Xiaobao groaned: "This ......"

Wu Yingxiong took out two large seals from his sleeves and handed them to Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan respectively: "As long as the two fathers-in-law confess a few words to the lowly father and son in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely believe the words of the father-in-law." The great kindness of the two fathers-in-law is not easily repaid. However, in front of the chief manager, the deputy chief of Rui, and all the imperial guards, he always had to pay a little respect. There is a little meaning here, annoying the two fathers-in-law to transfer the lowly duties. When the emperor asked, everyone helped a few words, and the wrongs of Weichen's father and son had to be cleared. ”

Wei Xiaobao took it and said with a smile: "Do you want me to do favors for you?" It's not a difficult errand! The little prince asked me to ask you one thing, you Yunnan has an official who came to Beijing, what is called Lu Yifeng, but there is such a person? ”

In order to complete the plan promised to Fang Yi to force Wu Sangui to rebel, Xiang Yan actually didn't want to accept Wu Yingxiong's gift, but planned to continue to scare Wu Yingxiong and strive to make Wu Sangui rebel as soon as possible. But Wei Xiaobao had already accepted Wu Yingxiong's gift, and Xiang Yan didn't dare to offend Wei Xiaobao, so he had no choice but to accept Wu Yingxiong's gift.

Wu Yingxiong said: "Lu Yifeng is the magistrate of Qujing County, Yunnan Province, and he is now in Beijing, waiting to see the saint." Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor asked me to ask you that Lu Yifeng bullied the good people in the restaurant a few days ago, and connived at the evil servants to beat people, I don't know if this temper has changed for the better?"

Wu Yingxiong was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I must teach him a good lesson." asked Wei Xiaobao for peace and said, "Father-in-law, please play the emperor and say: 'Weichen Wu Sangui knows no one and recommends people inappropriately, please ask the emperor to condemn him.'" This Lu Yifeng was immediately dismissed from his post and never used again, and asked the officials to appoint another meritocracy'. Wei Xiaobao said: "You don't have to be punished so heavily, right?" Wu Yingxiong said: "Lu Yifeng is bold and reckless, and he is really guilty of not being punished."

Wei Xiaobao picked up the burden and said goodbye to Xiang Yan and went out. Wu Yingxiong respectfully sent the two out of the house. On the way, the two opened the bag and saw a thick stack of five hundred taels of silver tickets. After Xiang Yan counted the amount, he said, "Wu Yingxiong gave me 100,000 taels of silver. Xiaobao, how much did you collect? Wei Xiaobao said: "I am also 100,000 taels." Xiang Yan looked at the afterglow, the thickness of the two silver tickets was about the same, both were five hundred taels of silver tickets, and the amount should be about the same.

Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's add five to one first, each person will receive 50,000 taels first, and then hand over the remaining 50,000 taels to the emperor?" Xiang Yan said: "What are you going to say to the emperor?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's just say that Wu Yingxiong gave us 10,000 taels of silver each, and took out 80,000 taels to ask us to distribute to the guards in the palace who contributed last night." Xiang Yan said: "Why do you want to give 80,000 taels to the guards? How good it would be to give the 80,000 taels to the little county lord and Miss Fang. Wei Xiaobao said: "Then what do you say we say in front of the emperor?" Xiang Yan said: "Let's just say that Wu Yingxiong gave us 10,000 taels of silver each, and asked us to help him say good things in front of the emperor." Needless to say, the rest. Wei Xiaobao was silent.
