Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

After receiving the news, Masika had no choice but to go to see Sibeile fully armed with leather boots and cloak.

His younger brother was a bachelor, so he naturally knew about the news that Fei Yanggu was critically ill, so he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit.

Wealth and prosperity are like floating dreams.

Concubine Dong E's younger brother has a prominent family, so what can he do as the commander-in-chief of the army?

No, when it's time to die, the King of Hell will not stay even for a moment.

He was also old, so it was not surprising that something unexpected happened to him when he got up from bed in the middle of the night.

The big sweater on his body was a fine mink that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess had specially found from Mobei, and then had it tailor-made according to his size.

Before leaving the General's Mansion, Masika's thoughts were already slightly biased towards Haifeng.

As the saying goes, men don't fight women.Sibeile should be more considerate and considerate of her sister who is married far away and take a step back.

I don't know what the background of this Huanglu Village is, which can actually make Sibeile rush all the way to Guihua City.

Masika set out from the mansion and took a sedan chair out of the city. The delay was only half an hour.When the sedan landed, Masika couldn't help but feel a little frightened when she saw Sibeile looking determined to win.

After all, this prince has a close relationship with the prince.

The fourth princess should just decide on the in-laws for her children with the prince before leaving the capital.

"Fourth Master, I haven't greeted you for a long time. I'm disrespectful."

"General, you don't have to be polite. I just wanted to ask for an explanation. Is it possible that the threshold of Kejing Bank is higher than that of the Forbidden City?"

"Where do we start talking about this? If Fourth Master wants to come in, just come in. I will accompany you."

The third shopkeeper ordered someone to open the door long before Masika spoke.

"Since it is indeed Lord Baylor, our master's younger brother, how dare you guys stop him? If you want to come in, just come in. We are also on errands. After all, all the money in Guihua City is kept in the store. I have a noble status. Look at how many pieces of silver are broken, just like small pebbles. If the people don't have this, their whole family will have to hang themselves. Please do it."

Sibeile was anxious to find Huangluzhuang. He did not continue to argue with the shopkeeper and walked through the door with his head held high.

The shopkeeper and Masika exchanged careful glances, and then followed in.

A group of followers who followed Sibeile went from room to room without waiting for orders, kicked open the door, and went looking for him.The clerk in the bank was about to stop him, but the third shopkeeper calmly stopped him.

"Let them go. It's all in the face of their respective masters. You look at me."

The third shopkeeper walked straight up to Si Beile with no trace of timidity on his face.

"Fourth Master, what are you looking for?"

"Some people said they saw bandits entering your bank."

"Oh, since that's the case, we don't dare to stop it. There is only one thing, Wan Wangye keeps it in mind. The bank has been surrounded by the general's men. Unless they can go to the sky and the earth, the bandits will never get out. Even if the store is open tomorrow, We have to close down for a day, and we have nothing to say about it, but please tell everyone under my command: handle it with care. We have a lot of valuables stored here. If there is anything missing, we will have to pay double the price. .”

"That's your business. I want to catch bandits, and I don't care about the quality of your business. You guys, search carefully for me! A small box must be opened as long as it can hide someone!"

When the government ransacked homes, they always ransacked them part-time and robbed them part-time. It was a good way for the soldiers to make extra money. The prince took the lead in giving the order, and these people became even more enthusiastic. They just took a fancy to any small valuable beads and gems and stuffed them directly into their clothes.Items that were too big to be taken away, such as antique vases, were smashed casually, with the excuse of looking inside to see if anyone was hiding.

The guys' eyes were filled with anger, but the shopkeeper and Masika remained calm.

Since they dare to be placed outside, these things are not valuable in the first place, otherwise it would be heartbreaking to bump into them every day.The most coveted thing among the followers was cash; to prevent thieves, the bank would collect all the money into the treasury before sunset every day.

Except for the few thousand taels of cash left outside for emergencies, they couldn't get a cent of the rest.

After struggling for more than an hour, the night was extremely dark. Apart from some trophies, Sibeile's men found no one. They stamped their feet to ward off the cold and stood in the yard to reply.

"Sir, everything was searched except for a locked bank vault. The slaves guessed that the thief was there."

Sibeile stretched out his hand and asked for the keys from the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper stood motionless.

"How about I tell you some truth? Even the elite soldiers and generals under your command can't break the lock. How powerful can a rogue have to sneak in?"

"Stop quibbling here. Haven't you heard that there is a secret technique in Mount Laoshan, and the Taoist priests regard the copper and iron walls as nothing? Bring it!"

"I'm sorry, sir, the younger one doesn't have the key. This lock requires three shopkeepers to gather together to open it. Otherwise, what will happen if a thief comes out?"

Sibeile asked his men to search for the keys on the third shopkeeper.Just as Masika was about to make peace, there was a "bang" of gunfire in the air, frightening everyone to a halt.

"Fourth brother, is it too much?"

Fifty or sixty strong men in Mongolian costumes were divided into two columns and ran into the front yard of Kejing Bank with great momentum, blocking the route out.

The one who fired the gun was Duo Bu. Behind him stood Hai Feng in a sable coat and more than a dozen eunuchs and maids.

"Fourth sister and brother-in-law, you are fine."

Seeing that the plan failed, Sibeile lost interest and wanted to leave with his people.

"Since my brother-in-law is here, even if there are bandits, I don't dare to stay for a long time. My brother will come over tomorrow to say hello."

Haifeng stepped forward decisively and blocked the door to see who dared to pass her out.

joke.

If she came to cause trouble late at night and let Si Beile leave without saying a word, this matter would be nagged in the imperial clan in the capital for half a year.

What benefits does he give to himself in daily life?
Why should she use her face to give Sibeile gold?

"Why are you so anxious? You've already come to my sister's shop. At least have a cup of tea before leaving. Otherwise, how should I explain this matter when I see Khan Ama and Ma Ma later?"

Dobu saw Hai Feng's intention and handed the musket to Balezhong. He walked up to Si Beile and used a grappling technique to pinch Si Beile's right half, unable to move at all. "Come, have a couple of drinks with your brother-in-law before we leave."

Standing next to him was Masika, and Sibeile couldn't help but fall out. It was obvious that he and the fourth princess were at odds with each other, so he followed Duobu away.He had just disappeared at the door of the Tianzihao guest room, and the Mongolian guards who followed Haifeng all started to take down all the followers who had just been robbed.

Masika pretended not to see him, exchanged a few pleasantries, and prepared to go home.Haifeng asked Zhang Shun to take out the gift box of medicinal materials prepared in advance and send it to the general's mansion together.

"The cold is harmful to your health. General, please take extra care. You may not know what kind of trouble this matter will lead to later. Only when the general speaks justice in front of Khan Amma, I dare to let it go."

"How dare I deceive you, an old minister? You must, you must."

After confirming that someone was detained outside, Haifeng strode into the guest room to settle the score with Sibeile.

"The fourth brother is so powerful. He won't even blink if he touches the fourth sister's property or embarrasses me."

Sibeile, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, thought he had caught Haifeng's shortcomings and still spoke with confidence.

"As long as the family is here, the younger brother will not beat around the bush and boldly ask the fourth sister: Does my sister hold the Huanglu Village in Yangzhou?"

"Well, what will you do with me in my hands?"

Such a clean admission was beyond Sibeile's expectation.

But he knew that this was the way the fourth princess did things.

Dare to act boldly and act resolutely.

"Okay, sister, please feel free to hand him over."

"There must be a reason for making friends, right?"

"Then why did sister arrest him?"

"Don't come just by opening your mouth. Who caught him? How about asking him himself? Duobu, bring that Huang Luzhuang over and ask the fourth brother to question him face to face."

Dobu stood up slowly, not in a hurry to go out, but first clasped Sibeile's shoulders and spoke earnestly.

"I never dare to be arrogant in front of your fourth sister. If she wants to deal with me, she will use any of her methods. My brother-in-law is someone who has been through this before, so don't drop your eggs on the rocks."

Sibeile and Dobu were finally on the battlefield together. They had experienced life and death, and they had a good relationship with this brother-in-law.She also hated her husband for his lack of integrity and his inability to restrain the four princesses, so he made all the decisions in the court, and his sharp edge was revealed in his reply.

"Brother-in-law, there is no need to worry about me. Yinzhen is a man and has his own responsibilities."

Dobu saw that he had become determined after eating the weight, so he was too lazy to persuade him and strolled out to pick up someone.

After a while, Huang Luzhuang, wearing a half-worn silver fox fur coat, followed Duobu and walked in with his head lowered.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Belle."

Sibeile concentrated on identifying the person in front of him to see if he was just pretending to be someone else.

From the appearance point of view, it is generally not bad.Medium to long build, thin, square face, slender eyebrows, slightly wrinkled face, the most identifiable thing is the earlobes.The weight is different from ordinary people, and the blessings are profound.

"Get up. Are you indeed from Yangzhou, Huanglu Village?"

"Caomin is exactly."

"Then why did you come to Guihua City from a place full of fireworks for no reason?"

Huang Luzhuang licked his dry lips, and replied slowly according to the answer he had discussed with the fourth princess.

"Master Beile, a few months ago, the common people were asked about their residence by several people from the capital in Yangzhou. The common people knew that it was a serious crime to deceive the Ministry of Internal Affairs. By chance, someone came from the Fourth Princess's house and asked for a copy of "Illustrations of Strange Weapons" written by them. The common people were frightened, so they begged the father-in-law of the Princess's Mansion to bring the common people to Mobei to ask to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. It was a vain attempt to reduce the crime and punishment by relying on the merits of presenting the book."

Sibeile's disappointed look almost appeared on his face.

This man certainly didn't look like an outsider with special skills.

But he still refused to give up easily.

"So, you really just used makeup to pretend to be an old man?"

"Exactly, the common people are guilty. They are nostalgic for their hometown and don't want to work in the construction office, so they lied about being old and having inconveniences in their legs and feet. The common people don't know how to make elixirs or look good, they only know how to make a few things, and they are not worthy of publicity. It’s just a toy to pass the time.”

Haifeng coughed lightly, and Huang Luzhuang quickly took out his book from his arms and showed it to Sibeile.

"The common people have been making ingenious things for more than 30 years. Everything is recorded in this book. Please take a look at it, Master Baile."

Sibeile took it in his hand and looked through it casually. They were all instruments that were already in the palace, or had strange shapes and could not be used for any purpose. He put them in his arms in disappointment.

"I understand. Being able to enter the manufacturing office is a blessing you have earned over many lifetimes. You dare to resist the order, which is a big sin. You should be escorted back to the capital and handed over to the Si Yamen for deliberation. Fourth sister, what do you think?"

"So my fourth brother wants to ask me a question? I'm really flattered. If you want to ask, then sister can answer. This matter should be left to Khan Ama to decide. Why did you take away Huangluzhuang? My sister knows it. But since he doesn't He knows how to make alchemy and live forever. It will be useless if you take him away; but if you keep him in your sister's hands, he can help shorten the construction period of Guihua City. You should understand which one is more important."

"Fourth sister, forgive my brother for the temerity to point out: it is Khan Amma's will to bring Huangluzhuang back to the capital."

Okay, use Kangxi to suppress me?

I originally planned to save some dignity for each of them, but now it's so happy, let's talk about it all.

"Dobu, take him out and let us, brother and sister, have a chat alone."

When she and the future Emperor Yongzheng were the only ones left in the room, Haifeng's eyes were full of anger and he slapped his palm on the Kang table.

"Fourth brother, if you insist on taking Huang Luzhuang back to the capital, it is tantamount to killing your father and killing your king!"

"Illustrations of Strange Weapons" is Huang Lvzhuang's only work, which has been lost today.Only a small number of inventions, 27 in total, are preserved in the book "New Records of Yuchu".Yes, it is the source of the Chinese text that everyone has learned, "The Story of the Nuclear Boat".Zhang Chao, who collected and published this book, was Huang Luzhuang's cousin.
