Chapter 15 Section fifteen

From Guangxu to inherit the Datong, King Chun took the status of the emperor's biological father, and it was not convenient for him to take up any errands. He held various positions and was replaced by another prince.Among all the duties of King Chun, the most important thing is "managing the affairs of the Shenji camp", and he was appointed by Boyan Nemo to succeed him. But there was a tail in the edict at that time: "Prince Jin has handled it for many years, and after the military reorganization, it has achieved results. He will still deal with matters and discuss them at any time." Therefore, the relationship between King Jin and Shenjiying continued. be held back.The two kings were originally in-laws, and the eldest daughter of King Jin was married by Empress Dowager Cixi to Naersu, the eldest son of Bo Wang. However, the two relatives actually hurt their personal friendship due to business affairs, and they seemed to be at odds with each other.

The officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were happy to get close to King Chun, and it was also because King Bo had stricter rule over the army.On the first day when he was in charge, he said: "I was ordered to take this job, and I must organize the Shenji Camp. When our ancestors entered the pass, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp could stand on horseback and shoot arrows. Now, you see What does it look like? If it is not rectified, I don't know how bad it will be!" "My lord," someone advised him, "don't worry too much! This cannot be rectified anymore."

Uncle Wang didn't believe it, and he was determined to reform, but he had too much accumulated experience, and those officers and soldiers who didn't make progress used King Chun as a talisman, so things became more and more difficult.After a long period of exhaustion, Bo Wang's ambitions have long since been thrown into the ocean.However, he has a stern temperament, and he will still deal with it vigorously and severely when he encounters a situation that is not pleasing to the eye. This year Nanyuan Qiucao found that the firearms battalion was missing a cannon.After further investigation, it was discovered that it was a group of soldiers who actually hammered the cannon into pieces and sold it as scrap iron to a blacksmith shop.Such an absurd thing, naturally, could not be tolerated by King Bo, and he ordered the first offender to be punished and the accomplice to be dismissed.

Among the accomplices was a young cavalry school named Fuha. His mother was a nanny in the laundry room of Prince Chun's mansion, and she gained Qi Fujin's trust.After the dismissal, he brought out the signboard of Prince Chun's Mansion, and asked someone to ask Bo Wang to take back his life, or to add another name.Bo Wang sternly refused, leaving no room for EQ. So Fuha went to ask for an audience while King Uncle was reading exercises. The guards saw that he looked uneasy, so they seized him and searched him first. Sure enough, they found a very sharp knife.What is the meaning of it, Dacheng doubts, under the torture and interrogation, he hesitated, it seems to have the meaning of assassination.

The soldiers of Shenji Battalion assassinated the chief, and it was shocking to hear it, so King Bo went up and said, "Fuha seeks death with a knife, please execute the law immediately, and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment, and ask for an order to handle it." Engage in it, and don't have to issue a decree explicitly.Of course, Empress Dowager Cixi agreed, and Fuha was executed on the same day. In the early morning of the next day, Prince Uncle's mansion opened the gate and found two women lying on the steps, the older one was dead, the younger one was dying, so he called the officials of Bing Ma Si, The resuscitation was ineffective, and he died even at dawn.

The two women, one old and one young, are Fuha's monogamy.Taking poison and committing suicide in front of the Prince Bo's mansion, he has nothing to complain about, and he has embarked on such a foolish path.If the "enemy" was a commoner, this action would have ruined the opponent's family, but it is a prince's mansion, apart from bringing unhappiness to the uncle, it will not cause any lawsuits, two lives, it is considered a waste of time. There are still people in Fuha's family, and his aunt is also serving in Prince Chun's mansion, so he invites Qifujin to see him and kneels down to complain.When Qifujin encountered this kind of trouble, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to tell her husband.

Of course, King Chun also knew about this matter. People from the Shenji camp who often traveled to King Jin's mansion came to tell the story in detail, saying how strict King Bo was.The Shenji Camp was different from other camps. They had originally refused to be governed by the Mongolian Prince, but now they couldn't bear it anymore, so they could only ask the King Chun to be the master. The so-called "in charge" means still asking Chun Wang to take care of it.Since the Sino-Russian negotiations began, the border defense was urgent, and the officials kept suggesting that Mongolia should be contacted to consolidate the border. King Chun thought that "this is just to open the way for Boyan Namogu". Strongly opposed.But the Shenji Battalion was cultivated by himself, and the military power fell into the hands of others, so he always felt unwilling.In the early years, in order to avoid suspicion, it was inconvenient to intervene in the government, and naturally it was inconvenient to seize the power of the Shenjiying. Recently, he was ordered to participate in a big plan. If the negotiations with Russia break down and the important task of defending the capital, who would I?In this way, the Shenjiying had to be brought back first, so as to have a basis.

Therefore, he decided to take this opportunity to attack his in-laws, Boyan Namo Gu. From this point of view, the death of Fuha's mother and wife is an easy article to write.It's just that no matter what, there is no "revenge" for her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Apart from explaining to the accountant, taking care of the funeral affairs for them, and rewarding a few taels of silver as a gift for the upbringing of the orphans of Fuha's family, there is no way to ask Uncle Wang for help. Have a theory. Uncle Wang also knew that his children and relatives were dissatisfied with him, and also heard that Shenji Ying had plans to invite King Jin to come back, but it was just a secret rivalry and it was inconvenient to discuss it openly, so he was troubled in his heart.Now meeting Li Lianying again to tell such a ridiculous and strange case, I feel more and more worried.

"You're right, 'Master Xi Buddha has a bad temper these days', you shouldn't be surprised when you're sick." He changed his original excited attitude, "We'll do it separately, and you'll take care of it inside. It's up to me. To be honest, I don't know what to do, I have to discuss it with Master Liu. See what he says, we can discuss it at any time." Li Lianying was afraid that the case would become a big one and could not be closed, but she could not take responsibility for it. Now that Uncle Wang said that he would "discuss at any time", she would not act rashly. She was quite satisfied, so she repeatedly replied: " Yes, yes! I obey the lord's order, and investigate immediately. If the lord has anything to say, please give me a letter. I'm worried about coming and going for the Eucharist of West Buddha, so I can't let my superiors worry about it."

The words were good, but the king was also afraid of the censor's criticism, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he went to the military plane to discuss ideas with King Gong. King Gong was also having troubles, which were brought on by his eldest son Zai Li. This trouble has lasted for a long time, since Mu Zong Bintian, if anyone mentions "Cheng Beizi", Prince Gong will get angry.He didn't want to see this unworthy son, and Zai Cheng also happened to avoid his father. At the same time, because of King Gong's abandonment, he acted even more mischievously and became the number one villain in the capital.

Therefore, teahouses, restaurants, theater brothels, and "Chenbeile" are mentioned by everyone.Chengbei Le had many concubines and gave birth to many children, so some people persuaded King Gong several times, saying that they were all nobles and his own blood, and persuaded him to take them back to the mansion. Let them have the surname Jue Luo Chan." The illegitimate children of the clan and other people are not included in the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nor can they be named Jue Luo. In Zaichen's outer room, "Grandma Kui" is the most favored. Her original husband is a "less than eight points" Zhen Guogong, named Zhaokui.Zhaokui is cowardly and incompetent, and Grandma Kui takes care of everything, so she develops a temperament that likes to go to the crowds, especially like to go to temple fairs. At Bagokoku Temple and every nine and ten Longfu Temple, you can definitely see Grandma Kui, who is full of flowers and branches, pinching a bright and extraordinary handkerchief with her left hand, and resting her right hand on the girl's shoulder, stepping on the bottom of the flower pot, like a willow in the wind, Greet people everywhere. On the first day of June of this year, there is an annual temple fair at the Bixia Yuanjun Temple at Shili Caoqiao outside You'anmen.There are the most Bixia Yuanjun Temples in the capital, commonly known as Niangniang Temple.It is called "Chao Ding" for offering incense in the Niangniang Temple. According to different directions, it is divided into South Ding, Bei Ding, Dong Ding, and Xi Ding.Among them is a tea house with a signboard of "Xiao You Yu Fang". It was originally a garden of a family. It opens in spring and is very elegant. On this day, Grandma Kui, after burning incense in the Niangniang Temple, came to sit in "Xiao You Yu Fang", facing the wind in the pavilion, unbuttoning the collar of the cheongsam, holding a handkerchief, gently wiping sweat, and saw A group of handsome servants in blue cloth coats, white muslin coat trousers, and thin-soled fast boots walked in. Some were holding thin mats, some were holding tea sets, some were holding bags, and some were carrying food boxes. .The last one to come in was a boy of twenty-four or five years old, combing a piece of oil pine, his face was as white as jade, his starry eyes were bright, and his two long eyebrows slanting into his temples made him look more energetic.Just looking at his body, Grandma Kui couldn't help frowning in surprise. The boy was wearing a black silk gown, embroidered with colorful butterflies from top to bottom, more than a hundred? "Who is it!" She thought in her heart, "It looks like he must be a young master, why is he dressed so 'gangster'?" That "bandit" nobleman drew all the attention from the audience, but he didn't care. He sat down at a large table in the middle, and his eyes swept across the young woman unscrupulously, but he just glanced past him until he realized that Grandma Kui was the one He kept his eyes on it. Grandma Kui's heart skipped a beat when he saw him. Seeing that his eyes seemed to be on her neck, she realized that her neckline was still open, revealing a white part of her neck, as if she was trying to be flirtatious.Thinking to himself like this, he couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly turned around, and tied the buttons on his collar. "Grandma!" Grandma Kui looked back and saw that it was a follower brought by the boy, smiling and bowing in salute. "Grandma! My uncle welcomes you!" Grandma Kui was startled and angry, "Who knows your uncle?" Then she added a sneer and still turned her face away. "Grandma, you are the most sympathetic servant, you must give me a face!" The handsome servant still smiled and bowed, "If I don't want to ask Grandma, my uncle will definitely say that I can't do things. Swear at the least, beat me at the worst, and kick me out of the house if I happen to be unlucky. A family with eight mouths, what's the matter? Grandma, you can do it, nod your head!" Grandma Kui was very angry and funny, but she was also a little proud and a little embarrassed.It's just that in the end, under the watchful eyes of everyone, you can't ignore your face, and scolded: "Whose family are you relying on? How dare you flirt with others like this?" "Yes, yes! Don't be angry, grandma." The man took two steps back and bowed again and again, "Grandma really doesn't want to show you face, she doesn't dare to force you. Where is the house? Give me an address, and I will come to the house to talk to grandma another day." Grandma kowtowed to apologize." Grandma Kui raised her face and ignored her, but she glanced sideways with her phoenix eyes. Seeing the uncle in the ugly clothes, she gave a half-smile and stared at this side with all her eyes, which seemed to be a woman's face Interesting, willing to be humble people.Thinking of this, his face became hot for no reason, and the neckline, which was a little too tight, became more and more uncomfortable.As soon as he stretched out his hand to untie the buttons of his clothes, he realized that this was not appropriate among the public, so he lowered the hand he had just raised.Accidentally, he knocked over the tea bowl again, and felt even more embarrassed, and hated himself: What's wrong?Desperate! Talking to himself like this, he wanted to go home in a fit of anger, and turned around to greet the waiter to settle the score, only to see that master and servant leaving his seat, he felt a sense of loss for no reason. "Xiaoyun!" she said lazily, "see that the coachman is there, let's go home." "Grandma," Xiaoyun said reluctantly, "Don't tell me you want to watch 'Running Car'?" "I won't watch it today. I don't know if there will be." "Yes!" Xiao Yun said firmly, "There must be!" "Eh! I don't know, but you do?" "Someone came in just now and told the old man over there that the car is ready, please ask that old man to play. Isn't it just a speeding car?" This made Grandma Kui change her mind and sit still.But who is that uncle?If the son of a big business family would not dare to be so domineering, why would the young master of a prince's and minister's family be dressed in such a suit?Could it be the famous actor in that troupe?If it is, it must be a martial arts student, or a swordsman, otherwise he would not dare to run a speed car. The more I thought about it, the more puzzled I became, and the more interesting I thought about it, Grandma Kui beckoned the waiter over. "Just now, who was the one wearing the outrageous clothes?" "He! Grandma, are you talking about the uncle who wears a gown embroidered with white butterflies?" "yes!" "Grandma, I'm afraid you don't go out often, and you don't even know this uncle?" said the waiter, "He is Cheng Baylor, Uncle Cheng." "Cheng Bei Le!" Grandma Kui had never seen or heard of it before, "You mean Cheng Bei Le from the sixth prince's mansion? Strange, who has such an impetuous appearance!" Before he could finish a sentence, he heard someone say: "Here we come, we come!" Then we heard the sound of thunder as the car drove away, and the dust began to rise. Grandma Kui and Xiaoyun were also looking eastward through the bamboo fence. Amidst the billowing yellow dust, a fine horse galloped towards the horse with a light cart, and the long whip "brushed, brushed", hit the horse's butt desperately, The horse also ran forward desperately, and the pedestrians ran away one after another. The scene of urgency and danger was really soul-stirring. Seven or eight speeding cars were approaching in a blink of an eye, Xiaoyun pointed at the first car with sharp eyes and said, "Isn't that the old man?" Sure enough, it was Chubeile, driving an extraordinary black horse, which was particularly conspicuous with his black clothes. The light car was also painted black, but the eaves of the car were hung with tassels of dark red silk thread.There are thirteen sides of glass inlaid on the front, back, left, and right sides. Grandma Kui knows that this is why this kind of car is called "Thirteen Taibao". Of course, whether it's a car or a horse, it's not as good as people.Running speed car not only pays attention to speed, but also pays attention to stability. Sitting on the shaft of the car, Li Baylor holds the bridle in his hand and controls it freely. His back is straight, his upper body does not move, and his braids do not shake. Although it was so fast, Cheng Baylor still maintained a calm and leisurely demeanor. Looking left and right, he found Grandma Kui, and immediately threw a sweet smile and nodded slightly as a greeting. As a result, many spectators turned to look at Grandma Kui, which made her both embarrassed and proud, with an indescribable and indescribably good feeling in her heart. The car passed by and the people left, but she was reluctant to part with her, she didn't know why she still stayed in "Xiao You Yu Fang"? "It's time for grandma to go home!" "Yes." Grandma Kui stood up lazily, paid for the tea, and walked out holding Xiaoyun's shoulder. As soon as he went out, he saw the handsome servant of Cubeile, rushed up to greet him and said, "Grandma, my uncle will take care of her, and send grandma back home. The car is waiting here." At the fingertips, I saw a very gorgeous rear car parked under the shade of willows. The driver raised the fence and was waiting for her to get into the car.Grandma Kui didn't know how to deal with such an unexpected situation. "Isn't Grandma's house in the golden eunuch alley on Dongzhimen Street?" "Huh!" Grandma Kui couldn't help asking, "How do you know?" "The house is also the gate of the big house, how could you not know it. Please get in the car!" With this answer, Grandma Kui removed the barriers in her heart and took Xiaoyun into the car.The car traveled like flying, once entering the city, it made many twists and turns, which made her lose her way, and when she got out of the car, she found it was not her home. "What is this place?" "Grandma, you will know when you go in and take a look." There is no wrong step in these places. If Grandma Kui insists on not going in, nothing will happen. Once she goes in, she will never come out again.Cheng Baylor has a handsome personality and a luxurious life, and Grandma Kui is actually at ease. Zhaokui, the Duke of the town, lost his wife, so he was naturally anxious. He reported the case to the Infantry Commander's Yamen and the two counties of Daxing and Wanping, but there was no news for a long time. It was not until three months later that a theater was sealed up, and he found out. It was the prohibition set by Kangxi in the tenth year, "the opening of theaters is prohibited in the inner city forever", but it has been stubborn for a long time, and it will be caught and opened, and it will be like this every few years.At that time, it was also the officials and servants who patrolled the city and commanded the Bing Ma Si to seal a theater in Dongcheng. A Bing Ma Si deputy commander knew Grandma Kui and found that she was also present at the opera. After a closer look, I realized that Zhaokui's wife was lost, because when Grandma Kui got up and ran away, there were four strong men guarding her, and the deputy commander of the army and horses also recognized them. , is the guard of Prince Gong's Mansion.He often goes in and out with Cheng Baylor. In any case, the signs are always revealed.However, although the Bing Ma Si is under the jurisdiction of Xuncheng Yushi, he dare not report the matter hastily, for fear that Xuncheng Yushi will read a book, and the matter will become serious, and it is not a joke to have a grudge with Chengbei Le. Official affairs can only be handled privately. The chief and deputy commanders of the Army and Horse Division came to visit, but they still couldn't see Cheng Baylor. The steward took over the conversation and told them what he wanted to do. He hoped to make peace in private, and let Zhen Guo Gong Zhaokui close the case himself, so as not to keep the case unsolved. Indecision is inconvenient to each other. Yes, it's okay, in order to let Zhaokui marry another wife, it's not a big deal to take a few hundred taels of silver, but I'm afraid that this will give someone a handle, and if they sue the clan's mansion, it is King Kui who is in charge of the clan. There must be severe punishment.Zai Cheng was not afraid of anyone but his fifth uncle, so he had a worried expression on his face when he heard the steward's report. "Hey!" He sighed, complaining to Grandma Kui, "I said a long time ago, if you don't go out, you will be in trouble!" "Huh!" Grandma Kui said angrily, "In three months, I went to Qianmen once and went to temple fairs twice. Even counting today, I only put my bags back in the pile four times. Is that too much?" What 'cause trouble', does this sound like what your uncle Cheng said?" "You don't understand, as long as I don't have anything to do with the clan's mansion, I'm not afraid, you don't know the temper of our fifth uncle! Well, enough to see. " "So, what do you say?" "According to me," Cbeile replied after thinking for a while, "Go back and live for two days first, and deal with your perfunctory, and then think of a way." "Hmph! You're right," Grandma Kui's face suddenly became serious. "You want to throw me away, but it's not that easy! Others are afraid of you, I don't care. If you don't believe me, just walk away." Look!" "Would you like to go there? Is it worth saying that?" She also knew that Chu Baylor couldn't do without her, and thinking about it, there really must be an ending.Otherwise, it is definitely not a good strategy to keep hiding and not being able to go out, and become a black man. Thinking this way, he resolutely said: "Can you think of a way to get Zhao Kui an errand?" "That's all right. What's the job?" "It's got to be the deputy governor or something." "Easy to handle!" Cheng Baylor understood, "That's it, I'll get him a deputy commander of the garrison, and transfer the tiger away from the mountain." "You're talking nonsense again," said Grandma Kui with no fear in her words, "the one released by the clan duke? Don't worry about it. You give me another thousand taels of silver, and I will take care of it myself." .” With the one thousand taels of silver note and Chengbei Le's promise, Grandma Kui took Xiaoyun back to the Golden Eunuch Alley on Dongzhimen Street that day. Everyone in Zhaokui's family was amazed and rushed to inquire, why did she suddenly disappear?Grandma Kui only replied: "Unexpected thing." She refused to say more.Everyone asked Xiaoyun again, Xiaoyun was warned and shook his head without answering. Grandma Nakui remained calm, as if she had returned to her mother's house for a while, and asked the housekeeper to ask about housework, whether the rent was paid there, and what was the harvest on the farm, and she blamed it in September. Without tearing down the canopy, the house is in disarray.After a meal, ask the servants, etc., whose daughter-in-law is in confinement, and whose old man is in good health?It is still the usual demeanor of using both grace and power, being shrewd and capable, and making the whole family fully convinced. The haggard Zhaokui didn't know what was going on with her, and he couldn't get in to ask questions, so he finally waited until she was done, and there was only Xiaoyun left in the room, before he asked, "Where are you? Speaking of burning incense at the Zhongding Niangniang Temple, it disappeared as soon as I went there. The family was in a state of chaos, and I searched everywhere, but there was not even a single bit of news. I have never heard of a strange thing, but it happened to me." "I can't help myself. It's all because of you. I can't even get a message. You are in a hurry, but I am more in a hurry than you." As he said, he winked and let Xiaoyun avoid it. "What's the matter?" Zhaokui wondered even more, "I'm really confused. Where are you trapped? It's so tight that you can't get any news. Why did you come back today? Tell me, where is that, in the capital city?" If there is such a lawless place, then it’s okay!” Zhaokui's worry and anger had been suppressed for three months, and then he became agitated. Grandma Kui stopped him and said, "Don't worry! It's not a bad thing." "It's not a bad thing, can that be a good thing?" "That's up to you." Grandma Kui said, "You have to hold your breath. Anyway, I'm back, so I can say anything." This sentence is so easy to hear, Zhao Kui couldn't help reaching out to grab her.Everything is fake, a flower-like wife, re-embracing, is the most affordable thing.However, Grandma Kui had changed her mind, she didn't even let him touch her, she shrank her hands, moved her body, and scolded slightly: "Don't make trouble!" Zhaokui is afraid of his wife, so he doesn't know her intentions, so he obediently holds back his hands as if he's tired of his hands and feet. Grandma Kui didn't say a word, she looked out the window and saw that there was no servant eavesdropping, and then she said: "The disaster or the blessing is all your own. Do you want to get a good job, or do you want to?" Live in an empty house in the clan mansion?" Zhaokui was startled when he heard this.The clan Jueluo committed a crime and was interrogated by the clan mansion. If sentenced to imprisonment, he would be imprisoned in the vacant house of the clan mansion.Zhaokui stammered and asked, "What crime was committed?" "There are too many! Just two things, one is personal and human life, and the other is occupying people's land. People have caught the handle, and the sufferer is ready to be there!" Zhaokui's mind was in a state of confusion, and it took him a long time to calm down. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there were many incomprehensible things.If these two cases are going to happen, someone will file a lawsuit, whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the infantry commander's yamen, or the Daxing and Wanping counties, no matter which yamen the complaint is made, the Wenzong People's Government will definitely pursue it. , then you must notify yourself to go to the case, why do you know nothing about it? Her so-called "people caught the handle", who is this "person"? "You want to ask this person? You can't offend him, and I can't offend him. For you, I've suffered!" As she said, Grandma Kui quickly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she was wiping away her tears. In fact, he rubbed his eye circles hard and pretended to cry. On the contrary, Zhao Kui felt a little fond of her, and at the same time was eager to know who she was, so he said anxiously, "Tell me! Who is it?" "Cheng Baylor." "It's him!" Zhao Kui gasped. "Who else is there? Who else is so bold to detain me there, guarding me day and night, and not letting me go home for three months?" three months!Zhaokui murmured in his heart, the indescribable feeling of having swallowed a piece of rat droppings. In the past three months, can you still be innocent?While thinking, she looked at her wife's belly.Grandma Kui loves to be pretty, and the cheongsam has always been cut to fit her body, but now it looks like it is slightly bulging in the middle, probably with little Belle in her belly. Momentarily confused and restless.Seeing that he didn't answer, Grandma Kui couldn't continue, so she sat down and rubbed her eyes with her back turned. "Then," Zhaokui finally asked, "but how did you get released?" "I quarrel with him every day, and I want to go home. The quarrel was so fierce yesterday that he said: Everyone is a person who cares about face, don't provoke me to tear my face, but it will not end well. What Zhaokui did, I told him." You said that I sent people to find the old man surnamed Ma in Sanhe County and the widow surnamed Huang in Changxindian. Go back and teach Zhaokui to understand that this is not Ge Jue's business. This is a set of words made up by Grandma Kui. Does Chu Beile know that Zhao Kuiqiang bought a piece of land from the Ma family, and also had a private settlement with the Huang family's murder in Changxindian?He only felt that if Cheng Baylor came forward in these two cases, he would be at a disadvantage, so after hearing what she said, his face changed drastically. Grandma Kui had already figured out her husband's temperament, and these words were the right medicine for the case. She took a sneak peek and saw that it had taken effect, so she continued to say the second half of the edited paragraph. Before saying anything, he sighed and lowered his eyelids, showing a helpless expression: "Oh! What can I do to let people take advantage of your shortcomings? If I had known today, I would not have helped you do those things back then. Woe I did it, so I had to admit it. I said: I did all the occupation of land, private affairs, and murder. It has nothing to do with Zhaokui. If you want to punish me, just punish me. Guess what he said? If you die, I will buy a house for you to live in, and I will still be your grandma Kui. Anyway, Zhao Kui will not want you anymore! I will give him a thousand silver, buy a concubine, and get him a garrison The deputy governor, or Jingzhou, or Hangzhou, or Fuzhou, took the new aunt and grandmother, and happily took up his post. This way, the best of both worlds, without hurting face, isn't it good?" It's good, it's good, it's just the words "don't hurt face", I'm afraid I can't do it.But if he refuses outright, it will still hurt his face. He has already set his sights on his wife who will not be unruly again, but he is willing to accept the water again. How can this face be seen by others? After all, the power is lost, and the shortcomings are in the hands of others, so we have to be at the mercy of others.After thinking about it, I had to admit it. "Okay!" He stomped his feet and said, "Out of sight is out of sight. I'll avoid you, and you tell him that I want Guangzhou." Seeing that the matter was settled, Grandma Kui put the bank note into Zhaokui's hand and said in a low voice, "I'll tell him as soon as possible." Then he went back to his bedroom, taking nothing but a jewelry box, and immediately supported Xiaoyun, and walked out the door.Zhaokui watched from the window, but he couldn't tell what it was like? Although it is a secret conversation between husband and wife, there are always ears behind the walls. The "strange news" of Zhaokui's family quickly spread among relatives and friends. It's a grievance, no wonder there is such a result.Different people have different opinions, and there are different opinions, but they are nothing more than talking about people's right and wrong behind their backs, and there are taboos in front of Zhao Kui.Some people expressed concern to him before: "Grandma Kui always has a whereabouts!" Now even this sentence is not mentioned. The only exception is Zhao Kui's younger brother Zhao Run.The two brothers were born to the same mother, but their temperaments are vastly different. Zhao Kuiyong is cowardly and fearful of trouble, but Zhao Run has the wind, which is rain, and likes to make trouble the most.He has always been considered a worthless scoundrel in the clan, but relying on his "yellow belt" as a "third-class town general", he set up scams, covered up prostitutes and gambled, and did everything. Hearing such strange things, how can he remain silent? Speechless? When Zhaokui saw his younger brother, his head hurt.If you have money, you can borrow money. If you don’t borrow money, you can do it yourself. For small decorations, you always have to grab one or two, so the servant mother of Zhaokui’s family, when she heard that the "Second Master" was here, she would always do it. Waiting on him every step of the way. "You don't have to tease me today, Second Master, I am very rich today!" Zhaorun took out a handful of bills and threw it on the table, "Please invite the uncle out, we two brothers want to say a few words about you Serious words that cannot be heard." "Yes! Second Master." The servant knew what was interesting, went in and informed Zhaokui, and then they all retreated, but they all hid in the corner outside the window, wanting to hear what serious words this second master has to say? "Brother," Zhaorun asked, "I heard that sister-in-law is back?" "Hey!" Zhaokui shook his hands wildly, "Don't mention it. You can be considered sympathetic to me! Don't ask about such things." "How can I not ask? Our family can be bullied like this? You don't care, where do I put my face? In terms of seniority, Zai Li is a nephew, and he took over his aunt, because of the law of the Qing Dynasty? You attacked the noble , you have to protect the reputation of your family. You have to have something to say..." "Second brother, second child!" Zhaokui was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, "Don't shout, okay?" "You are too weak, brother! Can't even say a word?" "It's not that I can't say it. This matter is really..." Zhaokui said with difficulty in a low voice, "It's really called Wuzhe! A gentleman doesn't suffer from the immediate loss, so take his time and find a way." "Why think slowly There are many ways, both literary and military. Walk! " Zhaorun pulled his arm and dragged it away. "Go? Go there? Don't mess around." "Shangzong Renfu." Before finishing a sentence, Zhao Kui had already freed his arm, stepped back quickly, separated Zhao Run from the table, and made a defensive posture to prevent him from grabbing him. "Second, it's useless! What kind of world is this? The power is no match for others, so I have to admit it. Besides, you don't need to call her sister-in-law anymore for such a lowly woman." As he spoke, Zhaokui shook his head and turned his face away. In the past, I was heartbroken. "Brother," Zhaorun said with a grim expression, "what's the matter with you? Why are you? There must be a reason! Tell me. If you don't make it clear, I will follow my way." "Here," Zhaokui asked in panic and bewilderment, "what do you do?" "Here! This." Zhaorun pulled out a bright seven or eight-inch long boot tied with red silk from the boot leaf, and threw it on the table. Zhaokui turned pale with shock, "Second," he stammered, "you must not move!" "Who says you can't move? Watch me sing "The Lion House" and see." Zhao Kui is impatient and angry, Zhao Run imitates himself as Wu Song, and comparing him to Wu Dalang is really beyond words!But usually seeing his brother was afraid, at this time he felt short-sighted, and didn't know how to deal with it, so he just rubbed his hands together in a hurry. So Hao Shun, his family's capable housekeeper and old servant, had to show his face, "Second Master!" He bowed and said, "Dinner is ready! If you have something to say, let's talk slowly with the uncle while drinking!" This is a slowing down strategy.Zhaorun also knows that every time a demand fails, even Grandma Kui can't control it. When she is about to turn her back, Hao Shun always comes forward to make a circle. With him, it's easy to talk. "Okay!" Zhaorun inserted the boots back into his boots, and with a tense expression, he said as if he had nothing to do, "Let's eat first." Before it was time to serve dinner, Hao Shun took care of the cook, messed around with some cold dishes, put on a pot of wine, but only set a pair of cups and chopsticks, Zhao Run naturally wanted to speak. "Where is the uncle?" "Master has a headache, so I can't accompany you." Hao Shun said with a smile, "Second Master has something to say, and he told me to do the same." Zhaorun groaned and didn't answer, and drank gulp by gulp, because he had a lot of desires this day, so he had to be extra cautious when speaking. "Second Master," Hao Shun persuaded, "Uncle suffered from such a useless thing, it is really called 'a dumb man dreams of his own mother, it is unspeakable suffering.' Second Master should always be considerate of him." "Humph," Zhaorun slammed his wine glass angrily, "It's just because of the uncle's uselessness that such a useless thing happened. I don't need him to stand out, I will stand up for him, I will be the one who should be killed and cut, so what is he afraid of? Keep going." Stop it, I don't know what he has in mind?" "That's nothing more than the courage of the uncle. If he can watch the second master get into trouble and ignore it, what kind of siblings are he?" "Siblings?" Zhaorun curled his lips, "Where does he treat me as a sibling? The words outside are really ugly." "What do you say outside?" Hao Shun asked cautiously. "How do you say, don't you know?" "I really do not know." "Then let me tell you!" Zhaorun looked at Hao Shun and said word by word: "Say he sold his wife!" "Ah!" Hao Shun looked extremely surprised, "Where did you start?" "You don't believe it, do you?" Zhaorun deliberately lied to him, "The person who said it is well-founded. Grandma brought back three thousand taels of silver notes, notes from the Hengtai Bank in Dashilan." Knowing that it was one thousand taels, Zhaorun deliberately added two thousand, hoping to trick Hao Shun into saying: "Not that many."Who knew that Hao Shun was so scheming, he couldn't fall for his tricks, he just shook his head and said, "It's nothing!" "Absence? According to this, the grandma was taken over for nothing?" Zhaorun then asked, "She came home suddenly, but why?" "This," Hao Shun said with a smile, "we don't know the current people!" "That's it! There are many things you don't know, so you have to talk to the uncle yourself. Well, anyway, I've made up my mind, family style is important, I can't just ignore it." Saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave, but Hao Shun naturally couldn't let him go, so he kept him behind, and went to the upper room to discuss ideas with Zhao Kui. "What's my idea?" Zhaokui said sadly, "When I saw him, his head was as big as a bucket." Hao Shun is his confidant, he does not participate in anything, and he has nothing to say, but no matter what, he must do things in the name of the master, so at this time, he first took the mission for Zhaokui. "In this matter, the uncle must have a firm purpose. No matter what, he can't let go. First, he has a bad reputation, and second, the second master's tone is not correct, but he has to give him hope. First, let go of the vacancy. When he takes office, It would be fine to give him a few hundred silver coins. Don’t you think so, sir?” "Yes! Just think of a way and tell him that." This is really hard to say.Hao Shun was thinking, "Second Master" probably only knew about one of the bank notes, and didn't know if there was a shortage of the other, so he was giving away the truth when he said it.With such a great benefit, he was even more reluctant. After thinking and thinking, I could only word it like this: "Second Master, please calm down first. Of course, things can't be settled like this, but you must always be steady in doing things. The enemy is too hard to mess with, and you can't make a mistake. Anyway, there will be ten days. Half a month's work will definitely let the second master calm down." According to Hao Shun's thinking, with the strong backing of Cheng Baylor, it is not a matter of saying to release a deputy governor. In ten days and a half months, everything will be easy to deal with after seeing the decree.So promise Zhaorun in this way. 兆润不知其中有此曲折，只是一向信任郝顺，既然他说能让自己“好好儿消气”，顾念以后还少不得有托他的事，便卖个交情给他。 “好吧，冲你，我就等个十天半个月。”
