scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 212
After Fatty Lu and the dog-headed master Wang Shaobo scolded Zhou Peigong until he vomited blood in public, Wang Xu, Xiong Cilu and other imperial envoys were ashamed to bring up the matter of extending the payment period of military pay and rations at the banquet. They could only be honest After eating the food and wine rewarded by the old traitor Wu, he said his goodbyes and left, went to the house arranged by Wu Jun to rest, and then went to the post house to meet Ye Bilong, who had been sick since the signing of the peace agreement, Perform subordinate etiquette and visit Ye Bilong's condition.As for Kong Sizhen, the former goddaughter of old traitor Wu, she can only reluctantly visit her formal husband in name—Kong Sizhen.

Fatty Lu, who was very curious about what would happen when Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling reunited out of bad taste, used the pretext of arranging to monitor Kong Sizhen's despicable actions, quietly went outside Sun Yanling's room, and squatted under the window to eavesdrop on the conversation between Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen.To Fatty Lu's disappointment, he squatted in the cold for nearly two hours, except for Kong Sizhen's weeping and Sun Yanling's angrily smashing teacups and ruining Wu Jun's military expenses, he heard nothing interesting. Line Yuxuan, who was also jealous of the sea, was grabbed by the ears and carried back to the room, where he was punched and kicked a lot.

"Fatty, are you bored? When someone else's husband and wife reunite, you go under the window to eavesdrop. What are you going to do? Are you going to help Sun Yanling and satisfy that peerless desire?"

Line Yuxuan was also furious, he grabbed Fatty Lu and beat and kicked and cursed at the same time. The vinegar jar almost drowned Fatty Lu. Poor Fatty Lu was not his opponent, and he couldn't escape even if he ran, he could only hold his fat head , begging for an explanation with a mournful and fat face, "Yu'er, you misunderstood, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that..., ouch! I really meant that, I'm just curious, I want to hear about that bitch Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling What will happen when the Green Hat King meets again, I really have no other intention... Ouch, Yu Er, please be gentle!"

"Don't do this, I don't know you yet? Your mouth can coax down even a sparrow from a tree, and you still want to lie to me?" Line Yuxuan, full of jealousy, grabbed Fatty Lu's ears viciously, while He said even more viciously: "Also, don't think that I don't know. You and that woman used to flirt with each other before, and they flirted with each other very passionately. Tell me the truth, have you ever had anything to do with her? "

"Injustice! Great injustice!" Fatty Lu was in a hurry, and quickly pressed Yu Xuan's little hand, and said with great aggrievedness: "Yu'er, you can suspect that I am promiscuous outside, or you can suspect that I have a relationship with other women. Not innocent, but you must never suspect that I hooked up with Kong Sizhen! Because by doing this, you not only insulted me, but also insulted my eighteen generations of ancestors! You won’t be so hungry that you even want that kind of woman?”

"Really?" Line Yuxuan asked with disbelief.

"I swear on the honor of my ancestors, and I swear on the honor of my only son Lu Bangjing!" Fatty Lu replied decisively.

Line Yuxuan was still a little suspicious, looked carefully at Fatty Lu and found that it did not seem to be a fake, and considering that Fatty Lu's family has only one son for several generations, since Fatty Lu dared to swear on such a single seedling, it proved that the oath is most likely not true Fake.So after Yu Xuan grabbed Fatty Lu's ear again, he finally let go of Fatty Lu's poor ear, which was so red and swollen that it was almost like a pig's ear, and muttered: "That's so weird, that shameless Kong Sizhen Woman, why do you look at you with such eyes? You look like a fat pig, and you can still seduce a woman back?"

"What kind of eyes does Kongsi bitch look at me?" Fatty Lu rubbed his red and swollen ears and asked casually, moaning.

"Of course it's the way she looks at the adulterer!" Line Yu Xuan gave Fatty Lu a look, and said angrily, "Didn't you notice today? When Kong Si**** secretly looked at you several times, his eyes were always staring at you." Guang, the face named Xiong standing next to her looks at you as if he is jealous and dissatisfied, doesn't this prove that you, a fat man, have an affair with that bastard?"

"Is there such a thing?" After being reminded by Lane Yuxuan, Fatty Lu realized that there was something wrong with today's situation. When Kong Sizhen looked at him before, nothing but hatred was in his eyes. , but there seems to be something extra, and that handsome Kang Mazi's favorite minister Xiong Cilu, who obviously has no grievances with him in the past and has no hatred in the present, looks at him, but for no reason contains The insidiousness and jealousy that can't be concealed by anything, seems a bit like Fatty Lu snatching away his wife and lover.

"Yeah, why did this happen?" Recalling this, Fatty Lu couldn't help muttering to himself, "Could it be that bitch Kong Si took her oath seriously and must leave her Yunnan to me for the first time ? On this point, do I..."

"What did you say?" Before Fatty Lu finished talking to himself, Yu Xuan's little hand had grabbed Fatty Lu's fat ear again, and asked with brows: "Fatty, what did you just say? Kong Si **I swear, I will leave Yunnan to you for the first time?" Before Fatty Lu could explain, Line Yuxuan's pink fist and jade legs had rained down again, and Fatty Lu's howling and screaming sound like killing a pig was also heard. Echoed again in the room.

"Yu'er, it was Kong Sizhen who swore, what does it have to do with me? I didn't agree, spare my life, spare my life...!"

………………

It took most of the night to appease the jealous Line Yuxuan, and he made up for the public rations that were in arrears for several days. It was not until the next day when the sky was bright that Fatty Lu, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, was finally able to leave Line Yuxuan's house. In the room, I came to Yingmao, the temporary residence of the old traitor Wu. However, the old traitor Wu reunited with his young grandson yesterday, and he was too emotional to sleep very late. Hu Guozhu, the first deputy of the old traitor.

"Yifeng, what's wrong with your face? Did you get caught by a cat?" Seeing Fatty Lu's face full of finger marks and paw prints, Hu Guozhu was startled. Said: "Nephew, it's not my uncle who said you, Xiaotu and the princess are rare good women, why do you still play like others? Are you worthy of your wife, the princess and the princess? If your father-in-law If Wu Guogui knows, you will have a good life! Hurry up and cut it off, ask a woman to serve you, uncle will pick some good ones for you and send them to you!"

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged." Fatty Lu was dumb after eating coptis, so he could only cry out wronged again, but he couldn't explain it.

"Injustice? Who in the Wuchang garrison doesn't know about the matter between you and Lan Yuxuan, and has the face to cry for injustice?" Hu Guozhu snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "If you continue like this, you will be punished by your father-in-law and your father-in-law. I'm too lazy to bother! Speaking of business, Ying Qi just sent someone to secretly report that last night, Xiong Cilu really sent him a batch of rare treasures worth thousands of gold, and asked him to meet at Weifu in a restaurant in the outer city at noon today , saying that there is something important to discuss—what do you think about this?”

"Xiong Cilu?" Fatty Lu was a little surprised, and said, "How could it be Xiong Cilu? Logically speaking, since Emperor Mangou sent Kong Sizhen here on purpose, she should come forward to do these things?"

"I'm also surprised about this matter. If the bitch Kong Sizhen came forward to do these things, she herself can be used as a weapon. It should be more convenient to do things?" Hu Guozhu frowned and said, "Is it because Sun Yanling is in Wuchang City, and Kong Sizhen can't handle these things?" Convenient? That’s not right, when Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen were together in Guangxi, they still hooked up and spied on the military situation for Emperor Mangou, so Sun Yanling was still kept in the dark?”

"Perhaps, Mangou is planning to split things up." Fatty Lu analyzed: "From the composition of the Mangou mission, we can see that the imperial envoy is making Wang Xu rigid and upright. He can negotiate with us head-on. It can stabilize us, make us take our guard lightly, and not take other precautions. Xiong Cilu, a hypocrite, and Kong Sizhen, a bastard, will work separately, each showing their strengths, and each is responsible for dealing with a group of people on our side. Xiong Cilu is dealing with money-grubbing , Kong Sizhen dealt with lustful people."

"It makes sense, or it should be so." Hu Guozhu nodded, and asked again: "In your opinion, do we have to make some adjustments?"

"It should be adjusted." Fatty Lu replied: "In my nephew's opinion, we should also split up. A group of people should focus on Xiong Cilu, and a group of people should focus on Kong Sizhen, and seize evidence that they bought and bribed our army's civil and military officials. But please remember, Uncle, don’t startle the snakes, we must strike late, wait until the Man Gou gets into trouble before we attack, so as to damage the prestige of the Man Gou Emperor to a greater extent, and at the same time alert those who are unwilling to keep their peace in our army Those people will be killed to serve as an example to the monkeys."

"You don't need to teach this." Hu Guozhu snorted confidently, and then ordered: "Then, I will be in charge of Xiong Cilu, and Kong Sizhen will leave it to you. If you are short of people, please say hello to me. Do you have any questions?"

"There is no problem." Fatty Lu pondered: "The only thing my nephew is worried about now is if my nephew is not on the list of Man Gou, or if Man Gou sends Xiong Cilu to deal with my nephew..."

"You don't have to worry about this in vain. Your name must be on the Mangou court's bribe list, and it must be at the top." Hu Guozhu sneered, and said with a pun: "If you can be successfully bribed, then Mangou court Not only can you take advantage of the issue of military pay and food and the release of prisoners of war, but you can also get our new gunpowder and new firearms. You can do multiple things in one fell swoop. How can Man Gou not keep an eye on you and put you at the forefront of the bribe list? So , you have to be careful and more loyal."

Fatty Lu nodded silently, knowing that Hu Guozhu was warning him.Hu Guozhu suddenly changed his tone, and said with a smile: "As for who will be sent to buy you, needless to say, it must be Kong Sizhen! ——You bastard, first abducted the pretty little Gege from Pingnan Palace, and then even the beautiful Men are not let go, can Man Gou not catch your weakness and chase after you?"

Fatty Lu smiled wryly, even if he jumped into the Yellow River completely, he couldn't wash himself off.Hu Guozhu patted Fatty Lu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, if you can take this opportunity to do what you said last time, then our Pingxi Palace will have all the initiative and all the moral advantages. effort!"

After negotiating, Hu Guozhu and Fatty Lu immediately split up. Hu Guozhu arranged for people to keep an eye on Xiong Cilu's line, and Fatty Lu obtained Hu Guozhu's consent. Under the pretext of presenting rewards for the old traitor Wu, he brought a glass round mirror that symbolized the reunion of broken mirrors. , took the initiative to come to the house where Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen lived to seek an interview, intending to take the initiative to create an opportunity for Kong Sizhen to bribe and win over her, so as to take the opportunity to handle major affairs on our side.

Arriving at Sun Yanling's house where he had squatted for half the night last night, the eyeliner arranged by Hu Guozhu hurried up to greet him, and reported in a low voice that Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen and his wife hadn't slept all night, and they never said a word. Sun Yanling just spent the night. Kong Sizhen just cried and cried all night.Secretly admiring the richness of Kong Sizhen's tears compared to his own, Fatty Lu hurriedly let someone know that it was old traitor Wu who rewarded Sun Yanling and his wife. After a while, Sun Yanling with bloodshot eyes and Kong Sizhen and his wife with red and swollen eyes came to the gate of the courtyard together and saluted Fatty Lu.

"Please come from Sun Junmen, please come from Sigege." Fatty Lu returned the gift, and sent the glazed mirror in the gift box, and said with a smile: "The king's order is to order the officials to reward the married couple of the military gate with the glazed mirror." On the one hand, I wish the military couple to reunite after a long absence and continue their relationship."

"Thank you, my lord, for the reward." Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen knelt down to pick it up, then hurriedly invited Fatty Lu into the narrow living room, and ordered the servants to serve tea.Fatty Lu looked at Sun Yanling's living room and said, "Sun Junmen, why is your house so small? Who allocated it to you, why are you so unobtrusive? Why don't you tell my little brother about it, Junmen, so please invite me!" The lord gave Junmen a bigger house?"

When it came to the treatment after being cheated out of Guangxi by Fatty Lu, Sun Yanling was full of anger, but he didn't dare to express it, so he could only say in a low voice: "I don't dare to bother Mr. Lu with some trivial matters. Besides, Wuchang City Seriously damaged by the war, the house is tense, even a big celebrity in front of a prince like you, Mr. Lu, can only live in a small house with General Lin and the others, but Sun Yanling and his brothers live in a house separately, which is already very satisfying .”

"That can't be done." Fatty Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "After the prince raised his army, Sun Junmen's official position is already considered the highest among the people who turned to the light. Discriminate against surrendered generals? So it must be changed, the military sect can rest assured, at the latest tonight, little brother, I will definitely build a big house for the military sect.”

Sun Yanling was originally an incompetent person who was greedy for enjoyment and self-important. Seeing that Fatty Lu was sincere, he no longer declined, and quickly thanked him—but his heart was sour, he made a wrong step, he was a dignified General of Guangxi , Now I want to salute and thank Fatty Lu, who is as big as a sesame and mung bean, from the fourth-rank magistrate.Fatty Lu said with a smile: "Don't be polite to the military gate. By the way, there is another piece of good news to tell the military gate. The prince himself has someone prepare a seal, and is ready to perform the tribute. Please the emperor seal the military gate as King Dingnan." , inherited the title of Prince Kong.”

Fatty Lu is not really happy with Sun Yanling this time, but after discussing with the old traitor Wu and Hu Guozhu, he believes that if he can get this title for Sun Yanling, he can not only strengthen the control of the surrendering army in Guangxi, but also buy people's hearts and establish a surrender The banner of sincerity to accept rebellion, even if Kang Mazi refused, the old traitor Wu's banner of giving preferential treatment to surrendered generals has already been raised, which will have infinite benefits for the Wu army's future wars, so it has really been done according to what Fatty Lu said. Done.After hearing this, Sun Yanling, a political idiot, didn't think about why Old Traitor Wu and the others had acted like this. His face, which had been gloomy for an unknown number of days, immediately revealed a look of surprise, and blurted out, "Really?"

"Si Gege is here, how dare you lie to the military sect?" Fatty Lu said with a smile: "The military sect was personally recruited by the subordinate officials. If the subordinate officials lie to make the military sect happy, then the military sect will follow Si Gege in a fit of anger. If you leave, the prince will not have to peel off the skin of the subordinate?"

"So, is it true?" Sun Yanling showed ecstasy, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Master Lu, please report to the lord, if the last general can really get his wish and inherit the title of father-in-law, then the lord will be the reborn parents of the last general, and the last general will go through fire and water , to be smashed to pieces, but also to repay the prince's great kindness."

"That's for sure, the next official must truthfully convey the military's thanks to the prince." Fatty Lu agreed with a smile.On the other hand, Kong Sizhen gave her official husband a sneaky look, cursed inwardly, and had to count the money after being sold—even if Kang Mazi approved the memorial of old traitor Wu, old traitor Wu would really put Sun Yanling back. Shouldn't Guangxi re-unify the army, just spend some money and food to raise it in a safe place as a surrender archway?

Anyway, after hearing the news, Sun Yanling finally showed some happy smiles on his gloomy face for a long time, and immediately expressed that he would keep Fatty Lu at his home for lunch. Fatty Lu pretended to decline and accepted the invitation. Sun Yanling Even more joyful, he quickly got up again and said that he would prepare the best food and wine in person to entertain his benefactor, Fatty Lu.But when Sun Yanling was about to leave the living room, Kong Sizhen suddenly choked up with red eyes and yelled, "Prepare some food and drink, do you need to go in person? Put me and Mr. Lu alone, and you won't be afraid of others spreading gossip again? "

Sun Yanling's expression was extremely embarrassing, and he didn't dare to get angry in front of Fatty Lu, so he could only forcefully smile and said: "Master Lu is the prince's envoy, and also a benefactor who guides me, if I don't personally go and get the best food and drinks , how can I repay Lord Lu's kindness?"

Speaking of this, Sun Yanling couldn't bear to add another sentence, and said with a smile: "Besides, I'm absolutely relieved to keep you with Mr. Lu. Who doesn't know that Mr. Lu was in Wuchang city last time because he watched more on the street. After a few glances at the woman, she was immediately scratched in the face by the Third General Line?" After that, Sun Yanling, who was really angry, ignored Kong Sizhen's ugly face, laughed and walked away.

"Idiot!" Kong Sizhen whispered to Sun Yanling's back, then turned to Fatty Lu, and said with a pretty face: "Master Lu really has a good appetite, for the most elite army in Guangxi, he even wants Yu Xuan! What can't be done, what can't be tolerated, no wonder the emperor and Prince Pingxi are full of praise for you, praising you will become a great weapon in the future."

"Si Gege is too much of a prize, it's just a change of appetite occasionally." Fatty Lu is also very thick-skinned, and said brazenly: "Besides, the reason why Lu is so hungry is not because he can't have a peerless beauty like you, Si Gege, by his side? If I can be like Sun Junmen, and I can have a beautiful wife like Sigege who has a peerless beauty, so let alone a mere Yuxuan, even if Lord Longyang is reborn and Dong Sima (Dong Xian) is reborn, he will not be in a humble position. Take a second look at them."

Kong Sizhen's almond eyes widened, looked at Fatty Lu up and down for a long time, then suddenly gave a chuckle, and habitually cast a wink at Fatty Lu, and said in an incomparably charming whisper: "Lord Lu, I heard you right, right? Since I met you five years ago, this is the first time you have praised my family, right?"

"Sincere words, how can you praise them?" Fatty Lu replied in a low voice, "Your official is just stating the facts."

"Today's sun must come out from the west." Kong Sizhen smiled coquettishly: "When the slaves said similar words to the adults, how did the adults answer the slaves? Why did the adults go out of their way today and take the initiative to show kindness to the slaves? Could it be that your lord wants to engage in some kind of conspiracy again, and is planning to play the slave family like a monkey again?"

"Si Gege, please think about it carefully." Fatty Lu said in a low voice: "One side is the queen of the prince, the noble princess, and the other is the seventh-rank magistrate who is born in commoner clothes and is as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. Is it compatible? This magistrate, apart from love I hide my intentions in my heart, desperately climb up, and strive to one day be equal to the beauty, and win the true favor of the beauty, what else can I do? If Si Gege has another way, I hope you can enlighten me."

Kong Sizhen opened her mouth completely, thinking in her mind, "Could it be that this fat man treated me like that because he felt that his identity was not worthy of me, and he was afraid that I would not treat him sincerely? That's why he sharpened his head and squeezed upwards, upwards." Climbing, so that one day, you can be equal to me and get close to me openly? Is it possible?"

Staring dumbfoundedly at Fatty Lu with a serious face for a long time, Kong Sizhen chuckled again, and said in a low voice: "Master Lu, don't play tricks on the slave family, if you really have this intention, then why did you want to put the slave family to death several times before? "

"Dare to ask Si Gege, didn't the time when the humble official was forced to fight back, and that time didn't Si Gege fall into the mud in a hurry to get along with those embroidered pillows whose talents and abilities are far inferior to those of the lower official?" Fatty Lu replied slowly: May I ask Si Gege, if the humble job hadn't been desperately trying to survive at the time, would there be a chance to be equal to Si Gege today?"

"Although it makes sense, I still don't believe it." Kong Sizhen shook his head, and smiled coquettishly: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu, you are so cunning, you are so slippery that people call it an oiled loach, so every word you say , I really can’t believe it casually.”

Fatty Lu sighed, stared at Kong Sizhen's beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world The thing is nothing more than this. If God can give me another chance, I will say three words to that girl: I love you! If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is... , 1 years!"

Kong Sizhen stared at Fatty Lu, her beautiful eyes shone brightly like a star, two tears suddenly leaked from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Although I know you are lying to me, I am satisfied to hear what you said to me. "

Tears fell, Kong Sizhen choked up and said, "Thank you, fat man! You liar!"
