Chapter 55: White-clothed Hedongjun
The one who broke into the door was Wang Wu.
After knowing that Qian Qianyi was dead, he kept rushing to Jiangnan.
The reason is that he knew that Hedong Junliu Ruru committed suicide by hanging herself by hanging herself because she was forced by the Qian clan less than a month after her husband's death.
This incident is the famous "Qian family disaster" incident.
Behind this incident is the internal struggle between the Restoration faction and the pro-Qing faction within the Qian family.
The reason is very complicated, and Wang Wu only knows a rough idea.
In short, the final victor was the pro-Qing faction.
And the pro-Qing faction's efforts to force Liu Ru is not as simple as fighting for property on the surface, but in fact, they want to use this matter to completely cut off Qian Qianyi, or draw a clear line.
Because Qian Qianyi was a registered "second minister" in the Qing court, as Zhang Changgeng said, "secretly enemies with the Qing Dynasty, but not human", so his identity as the leader of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty is of no benefit to the Qian family.
After all, the Ming Dynasty has died, and the world will be the world of the Qing Dynasty from now on, and being an official is also a Qing official, and there is a leader of the restoration of vision among the partial clans, which is called how the Qian family can be at peace.
When Qian Qianyi was alive, there were already people in the Qian family who were working against him, and now there is only one Hedong Jun left, and of course the pro-Qing faction has no scruples.
For the long-term development of the family, it doesn't hurt to be ruthless, even if it is to be infamous for this.
Wang Wu's boat was docked at Xujiapu Wharf in Suzhou, Jiangnan Province.
Jiangnan Province is actually the south of the Ming Dynasty, and the south of the Shunzhi period was changed to Jiangnan, which roughly includes most of Jiangsu and Anhui, and a few areas of Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
Therefore, it is also called the Liangjiang area.
The highest official in charge of this area is also called the Governor of Liangjiang.
However, I heard that the Qing court was considering splitting the two major provinces of Huguang and Jiangnan and replacing them with the four provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, and Anhui in order to better rule.
As soon as Wang Wu came ashore, he heard the people waiting for Hou to cross the river at the wharf talking about the Qian family.
The Qian family is a local family, and Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru are probably the "top streamers" in the entertainment industry this year, so what happened in their family must be "gossip" and talked about by the world.
After listening for a while, Wang Wu's face changed, and he hurriedly led people straight to Qian Qianyi's hometown.
Because, the Qian family has already made a lot of trouble.
said that a few days after Qian Qianyi's death, the Qian family began to make trouble.
It is the old house of money to go on horseback.
When Jingzhou came, there were thirty horses on board.
In a hurry, he couldn't care about Zhang Changgeng's reminder to definitely expose his identity in this Jiangnan realm, otherwise there would be trouble.
It's not that I don't want to be cautious, but I'm worried that Liu Ru has been forced to die.
As soon as Liu Ru died, the plan to forge Qian Qianyi's suicide note to Wu Sangui was completely ruined.
Luo Zimu said clearly, when he can imitate Qian Qianyi's words so that people can't see any flaws, only his wife Hedongjun is the only one.
And the seals used by Qian Qianyi before his death were all kept by Hedongjun.
In these days, in addition to handwriting, the best thing to prove the authenticity of the original is the seal.
Both are indispensable.
Fortunately, Qian Qianyi's hometown is not far from Xujiapu Wharf, and Wang Wu and his entourage of more than 30 people rushed to the place without asking where Qian's mansion was.
Because hundreds of people are scolding around the gate of Qian's house, there are more than 1,000 villagers watching the excitement from a distance.
It was the height of summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, but the villagers who watched the excitement were not too hot at all.
"General Wang, what should I do?"
Seeing that there were many people outside the Qian Mansion, obviously the Qian family who persecuted Hedongjun, Luo Zimu frowned slightly, and he didn't know whether to go directly or send someone to contact Hedongjun in the mansion first.
The sudden appearance of a group of horseback riders also attracted the attention of the villagers who watched the excitement, and they all cast their eyes over with puzzled expressions.
Wang Wu thought about it, turned over and dismounted, walked to a few "melon-eating people", and asked them what happened to the Qian Mansion.
"You came from out of town to offer condolences to the old uncle, right? But it's late, and the old uncle has passed all three or seven."
After a broken villager said a lot of nonsense, he said that the Qian family was forcing the wife of the old uncle to move out of the mansion, and Mrs. Qian had been blocked in the mansion by them for several days.
Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, it seems that Liu Ru has not committed suicide yet, and it is considered to be timely.
At the beginning, he failed to save Liu Tichun, the Duke of Wanguo, in time, but he had a big regret in his heart.
Just as they were about to bring people over, several local officials walked towards them in the distance, apparently sent by the local government to monitor the movements of the Qian family.
In this way, if someone from other places appears, they will definitely come over for interrogation to see if there are any thieves wanted by the imperial court.
"Daoist, you go and deal with them, and the others will come with me."
After Wang Wu finished speaking, he led all his relatives and soldiers to walk towards the Qian Mansion with Luo Zimu, but before he could get close to the gate, he was discovered by the Qian clan people who were surrounding the door, and someone stepped forward to ask them what they were doing.
Luo Zimu said that they heard that the old uncle had passed away, so they specially came to condole.
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the leader Qian Zeng, saying that the funeral of Qianfu had already been completed, and he would not receive anyone to mourn.
"You outsiders go quickly, don't cause trouble for our Qian family."
A few servants stepped forward and drove Wang Wu and his party away with a bad attitude.
Obviously, it was someone who had also rushed to the field to mourn before.
The reason goes without saying.
Either they are afraid that among the people who are mourning, there are thieves who will implicate his Qian family, or they are afraid that someone will stand out for Liu Ru, who is trapped in the house by them.
Seeing this, Wang Wu couldn't help but snort slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, all the relatives immediately stepped forward to punch and kick.
Where is the Qian family the opponent of this group of "shun thieves" who came out of the mountains, and they were beaten up in a blink of an eye.
"Get out of the way!"
Wang Wu also broke into the Qian Mansion directly, because he didn't know where Liu Ru was, so he grabbed the servant of the Qian family and asked.
"Madame is here,"
The servant was visibly frightened, and said with a blank face that Madame was probably in the study.
Wang Wu did not know where the study was, so he asked the servant to lead the way.
Because there was a window in the study room that was not closed on a hot day, Wang Wu saw a woman in the room from a distance who was about to hang a beam.
How can I think about it too much, I quickly stepped forward and kicked the door open, and then I grabbed Liu Ruwei, who was about to commit suicide on the brocade stool, and dragged him down from the stool and hugged him.
"Who are you?"
Liu Ru, who was suddenly rescued by someone who was thinking about life and death, looked at the young man who broke into the house to save her in surprise.
I have the impression that this man is not a disciple of her husband's protégé, nor is he an old child of the Qian family, because she has never seen it.
"Mrs. Hui, in Xia Wang Yaowu, I heard that the old uncle passed away and came from Jingzhou to offer condolences,"
As soon as Wang Wu finished speaking, Cao Diwei, the captain of the pro-soldiers, and Zhang Pengyu, who was in charge of the flag, rushed over, and the former shouted: "My lord, those people have told us to run away, but there are soldiers from the county government who have come." ”
"Tell the Taoist chief to take my name and say it to the people of the county office."
Wang Wu subconsciously wanted to take out his name card of the Han Army's Zhengbai Flag from his arms, but found that he was still holding Liu Rus, who was dressed in white, in both hands.
One hand supports his waist and abdomen, and the other hand supports his hips.
couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly put the person down.
