Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 105 Zhu Guobi, Liver and Gallbladder Cracked
In the city of Nanjing, Wu Bangfu led the surviving Jinyi Guards. When the Qing army was busy chasing Wang Yan and was unprepared, they suddenly broke out and achieved immediate results, causing chaos in the city.

All of a sudden, the yamen of Zhenfusi and the mansion of the ministers ignited soaring fires, and even the attic where Tulai lived was also set ablaze.

The flowers in Jinling are like brocades, and it is many times less than the bitter cold places outside the pass. Fortunately, the time is short, otherwise even the general of Manchuria will be completely corrupted.

At that time, Zhu Guobi reported to Tulai that Wang Yan was found in the city, and he vowed to arrest him. Tulai sent him and Jinyiwei, who had just come to Nanjing from Beijing, to command the bridge and lead troops to arrest him. .

Tulai thought that he could catch Wang Yan, he was very happy, he set up a banquet with others, and only waited for the people to come back, and then he celebrated his success, but he didn't wait for the good news, but he waited for Wu Bangfu who attacked his mansion, which surprised him immediately. Thinking that there was a sudden mutiny in Nanjing, he quickly recruited Qing soldiers to come back to rescue the siege.

The Qing soldiers who besieged Wang Yan near the wicker alley were also disrupted by this sudden change and returned to help one after another. Liu Shun and Wang Zilong fought hard with several Jinyi guards in the alley, and suddenly felt the pressure lighten. After leaving for a while, the two retreated first under the desperate cover of several Jin Yiwei.

In Qian Qianyi's mansion, Zhu Guobi suddenly heard the servant's words, his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, his face turned pale in an instant, and then turned into the color of a pig's liver, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

In the past, even a hundred soldiers would not have been able to break through his Duke's mansion, but in order to guard against the surrendered ministers, Duoduo abolished all their guards in the mansion, which gave Yu Taichu a chance to act.

Zhu Guobi was nearly fifty years old, but today his whole family was killed. Not only was his mother dead, but his children were also completely cut off. The anger and despair in his heart can be imagined. If he only wanted to seek Xu Taichu's revenge, where would he have the mood and money? Qian Yi was entangled, and with a frenzied look on his face, he led the Qing soldiers out of Qian's mansion to look for Xu Taichu.

Qian Qianyi wanted to stop humiliating him, but when he heard that his whole family was beheaded, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He was also a person who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He was really afraid that one day, he would suffer the same retribution. Silently watching Zhu Guobi retreat.

At this time, Liu Rushi had already come out of the bathtub, her underwear was soaked, and she was covered with a Luo Yi, which was very charming. Behind her was Wang Shiheng, who was covered in water.

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi's face turned ugly, Wang Yan was also quite embarrassed, but Liu Rushi took it calmly, quite proudly, and didn't take the matter of talent to heart at all.

For Qian Qianyi, Wang Yan originally occupied the moral high ground, and he was very shameless to him, a person who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and his aura was a bit higher, but today he was rescued by Liu Rushi, and he hid in his bath In the barrel, was able to escape.

When Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was prevalent, Wang Yan could be considered to have tarnished Liu Rushi's reputation, so when he faced his husband Qian Qianyi, he naturally felt a little bit wrong, and it was not good to treat him with the same eyes as before. .

At this time, Qian Qianyi's old face was constantly changing, sometimes white and sometimes red, but in the end he just let out a long sigh, waved his sleeves, turned and left.

Liu Rushi didn't care about this, and led Wang Yan, asked his servants to prepare clean clothes for him, and went back to the room to clean himself.

The son of Qian Qianyi did not live in the same mansion. When he heard that the Qing soldiers searched the Qian mansion, he was shocked and hurried to check. When he found out that Liu Rushi and Wang Yan entered the same tub, he was furious. I didn't like Liu Rushi at first, but now I got a good excuse, and then I found Qian Qianyi, and said angrily: "My lord, such a person who doesn't obey women's ways, father still wants to keep him? Are you afraid that people in the world will laugh at you?"

At that time Qian Qianyi was meditating in the Buddhist hall. Hearing his words, after a while, he sighed and said: "This is a big festival for my father, so I lost it. Why should I cherish the small festival!"

When his son heard his words, he walked away angrily.

The chaos in Nanjing finally subsided under the suppression of the Qing soldiers.

The Qing army suffered heavy losses this time. Not only did they fail to capture Wang Yan, but they caused Jin Yiwei to wreak havoc in the city. Even Tulai's mansion was also attacked, making him furious.

If Zhu Guobi's family hadn't been killed, Tulai would even suspect that he was in collusion with Jin Yiwei and deliberately transferred the army, so that Jin Yiwei had a chance to succeed.

This incident shocked Tulai. He never expected that there were hundreds of Jinyiwei loyal to Daming in the city, which made him no longer able to enjoy the world of Jiangnan with peace of mind. clear.

For a time, the four gates of Nanjing were under martial law, and the Qing soldiers searched the city wantonly, causing many fishes in the ponds. Many rich households became the targets of extortion by the Qing soldiers. In just one day, [-] people were imprisoned, and the people in Nanjing were suddenly panicked.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers were in a hurry to search, Qian Qianyi was very worried, so he quickly complained to Tulai, accusing Zhu Guobi of acting for his own benefit, breaking into his mansion, seizing his assets, and almost breaking into his wife's bedroom, so he asked Tulai to make the decision.

Zhu Guobi and Wang Yan were not caught, and only brought back an insignificant Hou Fangyu, but Hou Fangyu said that Wang Yan had already fled south.

As soon as Zhu Guobi surrendered to the honored officials, his role was far inferior to that of Qian Qianyi. In addition, Tu Lai was also displeased with the chaos caused by Jinyiwei, so he put Zhu Guobi under house arrest and ordered him to repay Qian Qianyi as soon as possible.

Before Zhu Guobi recovered from the grief of his family being killed, his new master abandoned him again, which made him extremely miserable.

The Duke's mansion was burnt to the ground, and Zhu Guobi couldn't amass money at will like in the Ming Dynasty. He had already lost his source of income, so he had to sell the few remaining assets.

Zhu Guobi had a concubine, Kou Baimen, one of the eight beautiful women. She was saved from death because she was quite friendly to Xu Taichu's family at the beginning, but now she has become Zhu Guobi's most valuable item.

Zhu Guobi wanted to sell Kou Baimen together with all the singers and maidservants in order to repay the 1 taels of silver owed. The income from selling a concubine is only a few hundred gold, if you send the concubine back to Qinhuai, you will get ten thousand gold in one month to report to the public."

After Zhu Guobi thought about it, he agreed with Baimen's words, and Baimen really raised [-] silver with the help of the sisters in the old courtyard, and handed it over to Zhu Guobi.

When Zhu Guobi ended his house arrest, he already had nothing. People in Nanjing deeply hated him for betraying his master for glory, and they were unwilling to help him in the matter of taking refuge in the Qing court, so he could only live by begging.

When he was destitute, Zhu Guobi found Kou Baimen again, and wanted to reunite with her, but Baimen refused: "You used money to redeem me from the brothel, but now I have redeemed you with money. If you owe it to me, I will break up with you from now on."

Zhu Guobi never imagined that he would end up in such a tragic end after being the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and fawning on his side to the Qing Court instead.

Faced with all this, Zhu Guobi chose to live on in the world, but one night many years later, he was killed by Yu Taichu, who had become the rudder of the heaven and earth club, on a snowy night.

While complaining to Tulai, Qian Qianyi worried that Wang Yan, who was hiding in the mansion, would be discovered by the Qing soldiers sooner or later, so he met Wang Yan without telling Liu Rushi.
