Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 387 The Last ([-])

One night, I just didn't fall asleep like this, it's not that I didn't feel sleepy, it's just that happiness is very short-lived, and it's rare to be able to experience it for a second.

I will never show weakness, it is impossible to give in, because no matter what I do, the result is not what I want, maybe I know better, what I want is too selfish, and he is destined to belong to the common people in this world.

Tranquil life is indeed what life should be like. The smiles on Jiujiu's face are very happy these two days, and I can't help but be infected by her.

Finally came the day of the Hongmen Banquet. Fulin and I had established identities in the capital a long time ago. He and I were rich and feuding, and we both ran away from home.

This can not only show the background but also deliberately bury the handle. We analyzed that they must be profitable in this Hongmen banquet, and what roles are the remaining few companies.

"Have you ever thought about the constant floods in the south of the Yangtze River over the years? These rice merchants are all profit-seeking, strengthening themselves and crowding out others. But I have carefully investigated this nostalgia. The Wang family, the Yan family, the Zhang family, and the Li family are the only ones. Quite a few, but each scene is particularly harmonious?" Fulin in the carriage looked at me.

I chewed the meaning of his words, and also felt weird, yes, they all say that if they are united for a long time, they will be divided for a long time, and they will be united for a long time. It is obviously the biggest problem that they have been safe and sound for so long.The south of the Yangtze River was flooded, but they didn't seem to be short of food. The food source must be in the north. Either the backers behind the four families had a harmonious relationship, or the four families were originally one family, but they were using the names of the four families to cover up.Think carefully that the latter may be much higher than the former, and the answer is ready to come out.

"If this is the case, our situation will be even worse! If they don't want us, but want to kill them all, wouldn't tonight be the best opportunity?" After I finished speaking, I looked straight at Fulin, and he There must be something that hasn't been explained to me.

"If it was normal, they would naturally not ask us for anything, but now, they must have something for us!" Fulin said as he unfolded the map in his hand, and said towards the north-south road: "A few days ago , these roads were all washed away by the flood, and it was impossible to transport grain.”

I took a look and it was true that if these roads were blocked, the land transportation would definitely be impossible, and the waterway would be even more impassable due to floods. I glanced at him: "So they can only rely on local sources now?"

"The local area was flooded this year, and the crops have long been submerged, and the food in their granaries has disappeared. Now the only remaining fields are the fields opened on the mountain!"

"That is our Zhuangzi?" I probably understood the purpose of this Hongmen Banquet.

"Of course they also have a little elsewhere, but if you continue to donate porridge and donate food, the loss will be even greater for them!" Fulin said, looking at me, and sighed softly: "I am not at all this time. Unprepared, if they take it directly, how can I put you in danger?"

I turned my face away, not knowing what to say, Fulin was not as thoughtful as he was in thinking about the problem, and I always looked at the problem with my limited eyes, and solved the problem self-righteously.

The wheels creaked, creaked and turned, bumpy and muddy all the way, we were sitting in the narrow compartment, I wanted to keep some distance, but a mud puddle swayed and I fell into Fulin's arms, and then I simply let it go go.

Soon we arrived at the agreed restaurant, which looked simple on the outside, but the inside was full of secrets. Fulin and I looked at each other, probably this is their base camp.

As soon as we entered the door, we saw Zheng Zhixian and the bosses of the four families were already at the table. They smiled politely when they saw us, and there was an unnatural smile on some rough faces. This scene was a bit eerie.

Fulin tightly clasped the hands on my shoulders, and smiled as if to comfort me.

"Brother and Madam are late, how about punishing yourself with two cups?" Zheng Zhixian said with a smile.

"Xianggong is recovering from a long illness and is not very strong at drinking, let me drink it for him!" I said as I drank a few glasses of wine, if there is really something in the wine, at least one person will be left sober.

"Madam is indeed a hero among women. She really dares to do something. It hasn't been long since I came to Huaixiang, and the people in Huaixiang all praise Madam for her bodhisattva heart. The parents and officials in my place are much inferior." Zheng County's words seem to be true. It's not a good thing for a commoner to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with his parents and officials.

If other people would be terrified, I took a look at him, and the sly-eyed look was really disgusting. I wanted to be more tactful, but I couldn't be tactful, so I said directly: "The magistrate of the county has won the prize, I just gave a few bowls Congee, if such a small matter can refute the merits of the county magistrate, wouldn't everyone in this nostalgic county magistrate do it."

Perhaps thinking that I would praise some of his great achievements, the smile on his face had already grinned ahead of time, but he didn't expect me to say this, Zheng Zhixian's smile froze, which was a bit funny.

"What did Madam say, it's just Zheng Zhixian's modesty, you take it seriously." Wang Fudong rescued Zheng Zhixian.

"I'm stupid, but I don't know how to turn around. I believe what others say. I can't deal with those stupid people." False and submissive.

"Since the madam said so, then I'll just say it straight. Last time, someone reported that the madam was responsible for the theft of official food. I don't believe it. But since someone reported the case, it's natural to deal with it. Madam, don't you think so?" ?" Zheng Zhixian's face darkened, and he resorted to the second trick.

Who is Qin Yu Wushang? I have never seen such a big storm. I don't believe that they will miss such a trivial matter, and there is no possibility that someone will report the case. Saying this is nothing more than trying to test my truth.

I glanced at the magistrate of Zheng County and said with a bit of righteous indignation: "Which person reported the case? If not, the trial will start tomorrow. What is the intention of framing me as a woman with such a nonsense thing? We come to Huaixiang with a shallow foundation. Zhuangzi is also full of ordinary people who have no power to restrain the chickens, if this can also make the dignified official food disappear, I am afraid that this yamen is also a fake?"

Several people from Zhengzhi County have been looking at me, thinking that most of their suspicions about me have been dispelled by my performance. Naturally, they have no real evidence, even if they fabricate them, they can't produce any solid evidence to prove it.

"Ma'am, you are too bold. Zheng Zhixian is just saying that. If there is no real evidence for the evil-hearted person's words, the magistrate will definitely not wrong the good person. Don't worry, madam. It's just words that insult the yamen and the court. It's over!" Wang Fudong's voice was already a bit gloomy, and these words should be matched with a treacherous white face, which is more suitable.

"Where did I slander the yamen, slander the court, the conscience of heaven and earth, I said, if, if! The magistrate is well disciplined and the natural order is strict, so the theft of official food must be organized and premeditated, and the leader is not Generally speaking, our nostalgia is small and small, and those who can have this strength can only count with one hand." I said and counted slowly, and when my fingers reached four, I stopped, what do you mean? ,it goes without saying.

"Since Madam said so, then I don't have to hide it anymore. The young master of the Qi family and the young lady of the Lin family in the capital, if they don't have the ability, they will destroy us!" Wang Fudong continued to move, pressing on step by step. .

The others seemed to be drinking in a leisurely manner, but they were all staring at us. This also confirmed Fulin's guess that the four Huaixiang families were originally a family.

It seems that they have inquired about our fabricated identities. Fulin and I pretended to be shocked, a little dazed.

"It seems that brother Qi is a little surprised, hahahaha..." Wang Fudong said, he ordered someone to fill up the wine cup and hand it to us, "This paper can't cover the fire, drink some wine, and you will be shocked!"

"You guys..." As soon as Fu Lin opened his mouth, he coughed violently. With this acting skill, if I wasn't also a part of the show, I would have been fooled by him.

"Brother Qi, don't worry, we don't mean to embarrass you, it's just that some of Mrs. Qi's actions have hindered our affairs, and we can only do this." Wang Fudong looked like a villain.

"Your business? My wife usually doesn't leave the door, why did she bother you?" Fulin's breath was unsteady, and he felt a little tired after speaking a few words. This sick man's acting is really superb.

"Ming people don't talk dark words, Madam's gift of porridge and food is hindering us. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. Every place has its rules. Now that you break the rules, you must pay the price!" Wang Fudong said. He put down the wine glass heavily and knocked it on the table with a muffled sound.

"What price?" I asked cautiously.

"Pay food! Otherwise, you two fateful mandarin ducks will be beaten with sticks!" Wang Fudong and the others seemed confident.

"Government and business collusion, fish and meat common people, do you think there is really no kingly law in this world?" Fulin was obviously angry. A little power wants to be king and hegemony.

"Wang Fa? I just need to put you in prison to serve you well. Fei Ge sends a letter. When the Qi family and the Lin family arrive, I wonder if you still want to ask what Wang Fa is?" Zheng Zhixian said.

"Why, the forces behind you are afraid that Qi Lin and his family will fail, otherwise wouldn't it be more convenient to just silence us and occupy the villa?" I said, as if I had something to do with them, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a little troublesome to do this, but avoid side effects, right?" Zheng Zhixian took a sip of his wine, deliberately showing some sympathy: "I also pity you, because of a bunch of ants, I delayed my happiness."

"Could it be that Jiang Shilang is still afraid of people, or is he afraid that the position of Shangshu who is about to fall into his pocket will cause side effects?" Fulin's voice had a kind of earth-shattering lethality.

"What did you say?" Zheng Zhixian had never seen any big scenes, so he missed the bottom line.

Fulin arranged fake identities in the capital, so of course he arranged people, and anyone who came to inquire would follow the clues and go straight to Huanglong.

Jiang Shilang's identity has long been known, but the evidence of this crime has been confirmed today. As for the evidence, the Feige letter between them has long been in Fulin's hands, and these people have been restrained, and their houses have long been lost. The main door was opened wide, and now it has been searched by the government.

Designing by oneself instead frames oneself. In the whole world, nothing is king.
