Chapter 16 full of resentment

On the second day after Shi Kefa met Lu and Lei, in Jiangpu Town on the north bank of the Yangtze River, in a garden owned by Ma Shiying, governor of Lufeng, Ruan Dacheng left the dormitory just after dawn, and walked to the room where the master stayed. In a corner of the courtyard.He raised the toe of his boot and woke up the night servant who was dozing under the colonnade. He said that he had an urgent matter to discuss with Ma Shiying, and forced the other party to pass him inside immediately.After the sleepy young servant rubbed his sleepy eyes, pouted his lips, and reluctantly entered the room, he turned around, and with a big belly, he creaked and creaked and paced in the yard.

It was indeed still early, the faint morning light had just cast a layer of milky white on the roof facing east, and the flowers, trees, rocks and rocks all over the yard were still hidden in the mist of yesterday night.It was quiet all around, and the whole garden was still sleeping soundly.But Ruan Dacheng felt that he had slept enough.In fact, he never had to sleep much.He has endless energy.What's more, right now is definitely not the time to sleep peacefully! Ruan Dacheng hurried across the river when he learned that Ma Shiying had returned to Jiangpu five days ago.Although Ruan Dacheng felt angry and frustrated after Ma Shiying was appointed as the governor of Lufeng the year before last because he could not be contacted for a period of time, Ma Shiying finally sent him a letter, expressing that he would never forget Ruan Dacheng's great kindness Great Virtue, if you have an opportunity in the future, you will definitely "repay the spring".Last year, when Ma Shiying came to Nanjing, he made a special visit to visit him, and once again expressed his commitment to the previous agreement. Only then did Ruan Dacheng dispel his grievances, calm down a little, and continued to grit his teeth, waiting hard, hoping that one day, he would be able to re-establish the imperial court. dream.Because of this, ten days ago, when Ruan Dacheng heard that the capital had fallen, and the ministers and famous gentry who stayed behind in Nanjing were discussing and preparing to welcome the new emperor, the anxiety and tension in his heart were really extraordinary. .Because after many years of pondering over and over again, he has already decided with his heart that he made a thousand mistakes at the beginning, and the mistake was to let Emperor Chongzhen succeed him, and he single-handedly settled the hateful "reverse case", and he was beaten by a guy In the muddy water, he suffered for seventeen years.Now it's hard to get through to Chongzhen, the faint king "Dragon Yu Bintian", and commits suicide.If the new emperor who was brought out to replace the vacancy still adopted the same standpoint, wouldn't Ruan Huzi lose all his money in his life?Therefore, he wished to find Ma Shiying immediately to discuss how to deal with him. However, Ma Shiying was far away in Fengyang, and he could not meet him overnight.Just as he was scratching his head and scratching his head in anxiety, Ruan Dacheng was even more surprised when he heard that Lu Daqi and others proposed to welcome King Lu.Because he had counted carefully with his fingers, except that the crown prince and the two kings, Yong and Ding, deserved no blessing to inherit the throne because of my lack of virtue. The little Fu Wang came to sit in the Longting.Regarding the old grievances that Concubine Zheng was bullied and practiced by Donglin hypocrites back then, whether this little prince can avenge his grandmother and reverse the "reversal" that wronged the world, although we have to wait and see, but It should be a matter of course to lift the party ban and appoint old people.If it was changed to an unrelated King Lu, the situation would be very difficult to say.Therefore, Ruan Dacheng had no choice but to quickly write a letter stating that the situation was extremely serious, and urged Ma Shiying to come south quickly and use his military power and current status to intervene.Otherwise, the credit for supporting the new emperor will be taken away by Donglin, and Ma Shiying will be squeezed into a corner in the end, leaving only the role of bowing his head and being at the mercy of others.Originally, Ruan Dacheng planned to ask his friend and Ma Shiying's brother-in-law Yang Wencong to deliver the letter to Fengyang overnight.But before Yang Wencong left, he got the news that Ma Shiying had returned to Jiangpu.Ruan Dacheng was overjoyed, and immediately rushed across the river to meet him, and stayed in Ma Shiying's villa as usual.For two days in a row, he pestered his master, asking him to find ways to bring King Fu to the throne.Unexpectedly, Ma Shiying just hesitated and refused to express his attitude clearly.This pissed off Ruan Dacheng.I thought to myself: "Well, you Ma Yaocao Guizhou guy, you are so disgusting! Could it be that you want to go back on what you said? I, old Ruan, have to hang out with you to the end!" So the entanglement became more urgent.Yesterday he drove Ma Shiying to "negotiate" late into the night, and this morning he came to knock on the door in good spirits.

Finally, the young servant came out lightly and said: "My master invites Master Ruan to sit in the study next door, and my master will get up right away." When Ruan Dacheng heard this, he didn't wait to ask any more, and immediately took big steps, walked into the upper room, sat down on the chair carelessly, and shouted: "Tea here!" The young servant was yawning with his mouth wide open, but when he heard the yelling, he quickly withdrew his yawn and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Ruan, look at this day, it's only lighted up. The fireman must have never got up, why did he get the boiling water?" Making tea? I have to ask you to be wronged for a while, and forgive me for a while!"

Ruan Dacheng rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Then, hold the lamp!" "Oh, but there is this one!" The servant hurriedly agreed, and hurried to the corner of the room. After a while, he really lit a book lamp with "green, bronze and lotus" and brought it over. Now, Ruan Dacheng leaned back in the chair, hid his fat body in the shadow of the flickering lamp, and continued to think about his thoughts while listening to the rustling sound of the morning wind blowing the door curtain. He thought that it was really important to support King Fu this time.Not only is it related to whether he himself can make a comeback, but also whether he can finally take revenge.Ruan Dacheng swore that he would take revenge!Over the years, those bastards from Donglin and Fushe have bullied him hard enough!He was forced to call him a disaster, a villain, a bad embryo, and a villain!It doesn't count if he is not allowed to be reinstated, but he is still talking bad about him everywhere, ruining his reputation, ridiculing him, attacking him, insulting him, and making him lose his old face!In fact, there are many people who are listed in the anti-crime case, so why do they just yell at themselves?The only way to kill yourself like this?Could it be that the other people involved in the case were raised by my mother, but his old Ruan was raised by my mother's maid?Hmph, don't think that the master in Stone Nest Garden is a soft persimmon, easy to pinch!Just wait and see, when the time comes, he will take revenge on everyone who squeezed him one by one!Do what you say, never ambiguous!

Ruan Dacheng moved his body to make himself sit more comfortably, and at the same time began to imagine how to take revenge on his enemies—kill them, clean them up without leaving any behind, there is no doubt about it.But you can't just behead them all, that would be too boring and too cheap for them—"click" and it's over—no, try to entertain them slowly.What kind of tricky and eccentric tortures can be chosen, whichever is interesting-"a book", "a kite played by a mouse", and "a horse stick" will be used in a nest!Let them not be able to live or die, let them kneel on the ground one by one like dogs, beg for mercy, call themselves daddy and grandpa, and then let them die!And they can't just let them die, but also make a whole family of people beheaded, implicating the nine and ten clans!Let their wives, concubines and children become whores, turtles, and slaves!Just like how Emperor Chengzu dealt with Emperor Jianwen's descendants...

The more Ruan Dacheng thought about it, the more excited he became, the ten fingers crossed on his stomach moved involuntarily, his thick beard trembled with joy, and the black eyes under the broom eyebrows also shone in the shadow of the lamp.He seemed to see Zhou Bi, Lei Zuo, Chen Zhenhui, Wu Yingji, Gu Gao, Huang Zongxi, Maoxiang, Hou Fangyu, as well as Lu Daqi, Zhang Shenyan, Jiang Yueguang, and others, and even Shi Kefa, the current head of the Donglin School, all of them. Covered in blood, wearing shackles and chains, with broken legs and arms, screaming in the prison, crying for father and mother...

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Well, what was that sound?It's the jailer coming--ah, no!Ruan Dacheng woke up suddenly, and looked back towards the door leading to the open room, only to see the young servant rushing in with a frightened expression, passing through the open room, and walking straight to the inner room.After a while, Ma Shiying, who had already put on his official uniform, turned out from behind the screen. "Hey, old Yao!" Ruan Dacheng, who was excited by the happy fantasy, stood up quickly, moved the chair with a "squeak", and greeted him with a radiant face.

Unexpectedly, Ma Shiying waved his hand: "Old Yuan, I don't have time to talk to you right now, let's talk about it later!" "how?" "Shi Taolin is here!" "What, Shi Daolin?" Ruan Dacheng's eyes widened suddenly, "He, why did he come so early in the morning?" Ma Shiying snorted: "He's such a killer! If he doesn't sleep, he thinks that others don't need to sleep either. No matter day or night, he can come whenever he wants!" Ruan Dacheng glanced at the other party, feeling a little embarrassed.Because Ma Shiying's complaint was clearly aimed at him.He had no choice but to change the subject and ask:

"What is Shi Taolin here for?" "Who knows! It's probably Yingli's business!" Ma Shiying said as he walked out. When Ruan Dacheng heard this, he became anxious.He blocked it with both hands and said: "Old Yao, this matter is no small matter, you have to explain it to me before you go!" Ma Shiying was obviously a little impatient at being pestered.He frowned, and continued to walk out, saying, "Old Yuan, you've been so smart all your life, why are you so confused? It's because this matter is so important that you can't make a hasty decision. I haven't promised you in the past two days. It is decided that Lao Shi will definitely come to me—let’s listen to what he has to say, before it’s too late!"

"But..." Ruan Dacheng still chased after unwillingly. Ma Shiying was also in a hurry.He stopped abruptly, stomped his feet and said, "Old Yuan, Shi Daolin's sedan chair has arrived! If you have anything to say, can we talk about it later?" As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and hurried away without looking back.Ruan Dacheng was left standing there dumbfounded. After a long while, he finally sat down on the railing of the corridor.
