Judging from Xu Baihu's domineering and arrogant demeanor, he was definitely telling the truth when he said that Wantong became the spokesman for Jinyiwei. Otherwise, he would not dare to be so arrogant.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh secretly, he really missed Wantong when he went to the capital last time.
Anyone who knows a little bit about politics will understand that Mr. Yuan Bin was promoted from the Commander of the Jinyiwei to the Governor's Mansion. This is a trick of overt promotion and covert demotion. Although the rank of the Commander of the Jinyiwei is lower than that of the Governor, his status and real power are not the false reputation of the Governor.
comparable?
And Nawantong was able to successfully squeeze out Yuan Bin and become the commander of the Royal Guards with real power as a sensitive relative. It seems that his ability and scheming cannot be underestimated.
Fortunately, Yuan Bin and old man Yuan had the ability to protect him back then. As long as he didn't rebel, it would be impossible to deal with him, so he was given a decent end and gave up his position as the commander of the Jin Yiwei.
After a brief recollection, Fang Yingwu remembered some historical materials he had seen in his previous life. In his previous life, he had studied a small topic about his relatives in the Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, except for the early years, his relatives were basically
He is a wealthy and idle man with no real power.
From a character point of view, towards the late Ming Dynasty, the relatives’ families became more low-key and cowardly, but there were also a few that were particularly arrogant in the middle and early Ming Dynasty. And coincidentally, these families were very concentrated in Chenghua and the Hongzhi period, and they were representative.
They are the Empress Dowager Zhou’s family, the biological mother of Emperor Chenghua, the Wan family of the imperial concubines, and the Zhang family of the empress of Emperor Hongzhi. These families all have a very bad reputation for being domineering and domineering.
Because of this research experience, Fang Yingwu was far less familiar with the politics of the Chenghua period than the popular Jiajing and Wanli periods, and there were many errors and omissions in his memory, but he also knew some interesting things. For example, his relative Wan Tong Wan commanded
The story with his confidant Xu Da...
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu finally connected the Xu Baihu in front of him with the Xu Da in the historical data, and his eyes towards Xu Baihu became very strange.
It's a long story, but it's actually short. At this time, the dozen or so military-looking thugs had won a great victory and were surrounding them from a distance, waiting for instructions again.
Xu Da said without a smile: "Brother, why are you doing this? I'd better ask that young lady just now to come out and talk."
Fang Yingwu scolded again: "Who is your brother? I am the son of Hanlin Editor Fang, who went to Beijing to take the exam. What is your reputation?"
Mr. Hanlin's family? Xu Da said that the accident was a bit unexpected, but he was not afraid. After all, although Hanlin had a bright future in the Qing Dynasty, it did not directly hold real power, and its current deterrent power was still limited.
Since the other party is a person with a certain background, it is not easy to take it by force. Xu Baihu changed his breath and asked with a shy face: "I wonder who that young lady is? If she is not Mr. Fang's wife, how about selling it to me?
The price can’t be bad for you!”
What a scoundrel! Fang Yingwu couldn't get out of his anger when he saw this shameless guy surnamed Xu. It was like a scholar met a soldier! He couldn't help but cursed: "Get out!"
Xu Baihu was neither angry nor angry, and said with a smile: "Master Fang, why should you be angry? Women are like clothes, and they are easy to discuss. This little lady looks a bit like my ex-wife, which makes me very excited. If it doesn't matter, why not be beautiful like an adult?"
"
Your ex-wife? Fang Yingwu was stunned. This was the reason for his love. Fang Yingwu believed his words a little, so it was no wonder that Xu Baihu would come over and pester her for no reason.
But believing does not mean understanding. Fang Yingwu was entangled and had no choice. He approached Xu Baihu and whispered in a low voice: "Isn't your ex-wife with Commander Wan? Just come back."
Xu Baihu's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he took two steps back. His expression was startled and suspicious, and he couldn't help but look at Fang Yingwu again.
Fang Yingwu stood there calmly. He was incomprehensible. He couldn't reason with the scoundrels, and he couldn't beat them with fists at the moment. There was no one around him and no one could ask for help, so he had to resort to intimidation.
I have to say that Xu Da was really frightened. He looked around in a panic to make sure that no one else could hear him nearby.
The historical data that Fang Yingwu read in his previous life said that Xu Da had a wife who was extremely beautiful and charming, but she was spotted by Wantong. So Xu Da sold himself to the Wan family and became a domestic slave of Wantong. At the same time,
His wife was also taken in by Wantong, or Xu Da dedicated his wife to Wantong.
After that, Xu Da became a close confidant of Wantong and specialized in handling business for Wantong. He became Wantong's agent in business and often traveled outside (it cannot be ruled out that this was intentional).
After Wantong officially took charge of Jinyiwei, Xu Dazhu was offered a position as a Baihu, and then there was Xu Baihu in front of Fang Yingwu. However, Xu Baihu still couldn't escape the role of Wantong's business agent.
From what he said just now, it can be heard that Xu Baihu came to rob this store. The reason for robbing the store is of course for business.
After Fang Yingwu made the test, he was also watching his words, and he could be sure of two things. First, the historical passages he had read in the book were true, and there really was a matter of Xu Da offering his wife, whether it was actively or passively. Second, this matter is still unknown.
There are no rumors, and it's not surprising when you think about it. A man wouldn't talk about such embarrassing things everywhere.
While Fang Yingwu was dumbfounded by such a coincidence, he somewhat believed Xu Da's excuse that "that young lady looks like his ex-wife." This reason seemed to be a clumsy fabrication, but it was credible when applied to Xu Da.
The reason is simple. If Xu Baihu wants to make up excuses, there are plenty of them. There is no need to deliberately blame his "ex-wife" for embarrassing him. Of course, the premise is that he thinks that Fang Yingwu doesn't know about this, and he has no idea.
Due to scruples, I didn’t subconsciously say some things to the door.
Besides, even if Xu Da sacrificed his wife willingly, he was still a little embarrassed in his heart. The thought of making amends was not strange, it was also a kind of self-narcosis.
After calming down for a while, Xu Da's expression was uncertain. He almost blurted out, "How do you know?" but he stopped himself.
Once you ask such a question, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting it in disguise? A moment later, Xu Baihu also whispered: "You are so young, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Fang Yingwu didn't care about Xu Baihu's denial. He raised his head and looked around, "It really doesn't matter. Do you think others will believe it?"
Xu Da's expression changed drastically again. Was this Fang Yingwu threatening him in turn?
He sold himself into the Wan family and became a "family member", and his wife naturally became a servant of the Wan family. Of course, this was only on the surface, but in fact she was doing the work of a concubine.
After all, there are only a few people in the Wan Family Mansion who have access to Wan Tong's daily life. Of course, they will not spread rumors. Besides, there are many scandals in the mansion, so it is not worth being too surprised.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, he is a domestic slave and his wife is a servant. There is nothing abnormal. However, it is fine if others do not think of it. But if others have intentions, his wife's scandal cannot withstand verification at all.
No man wants this kind of scandal to be spread. Xu Da is a scoundrel and a shameless man, but in this regard he is no different from other men. Even if he did it, he didn't want to be talked about.
"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you, so I'll take my leave!" Xu Da shook his hand in a bachelor's manner, turned around and left the place. If the man named Fang is forced to panic, he will start yelling here, and he will be the one who looks ugly.
.
Seeing that the other party left so neatly, Fang Yingwu felt a little worried. It was extremely unwise to expose someone else's scandal just then and then let the tiger go back to the mountain. It could easily leave consequences.
But there is no point in regretting it. After all, there is really no other way to deal with this bad luck just now. Even taking out his father's name can't scare Xu Da away.
It is said that the King of Hell is easy to meet but the devil is difficult to deal with. Wantong, the King of Hell, still doesn’t know whether he can hold grudges, and he has provoked a brat like Xu Da. I’m afraid there will be trouble. It seems that we have to think of another way...
