Four hundred and eighty fourth chapter replace forty-three
Wei Xiaobao said: "Then in your opinion, who sent these rebels?"
Wu Yingxiong muttered: "Wei Chen, father and son, have many enemies. It's really difficult to determine for a while."
Wei Xiaobao said: "If you want me to say a few nice words in front of the Emperor, you have to find an enemy to confess, so that the Emperor can believe me."
Wu Yingxiong said: "Yes, yes! Jia Yan conquered the world for the Qing Dynasty and wiped out a lot of rebels. These rebellious remnants all hated Jia Yan very much.
For example, Li Chuang's remnants, former Ming Tang kings, Gui Wang's remnants, and Yunnan Mu family's remnants, they have hatred in their hearts and can do anything to commit rebellion."
Wei Xiaobao nodded and said: "What about Li Chuang Yu Ni, Yunnan Mu family's remnant party, what kind of martial arts skills do these people have? You teach me a few moves, and I will show it to the emperor, saying that I saw it with my own eyes last night, the assassin
This is the kind of trick I use, it’s genuine and you can’t go wrong with it.”
Wu Yingxiong was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "My father-in-law, this plan is brilliant. I am a martial artist, and my knowledge is really limited. I have to ask my subordinates. Father-in-law, please sit down for a while. I will be here immediately."
Saying hello, he hurriedly entered. After a while, he brought someone in, it was Yang Yizhi, the leader of his entourage. Wei Xiaobao had helped him win 700 taels of silver last night. Yang Yi stepped forward to greet Wei Xiaobao, his face
He looked deeply worried, and Wu Yingxiong naturally told him the reason.
Wei Xiaobao said: "Brother Yang, don't worry. Last night you practiced martial arts in Prince Kang's palace and made a big splash. Many civil and military ministers saw it. They can never say that you entered the palace to commit an assassination. I can also testify for you.
"
Yang Yizhi said: "Yes, yes! Thank you so much, father-in-law. I was just afraid of being framed by traitors. Instead, I said that the prince took us to Prince Kang's palace so that the ministers could testify, but secretly sent someone else to do the treasonous and unethical thing."
Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "It's important to guard against this."
Yang Yizhi said: "Your Majesty said, my father-in-law is willing to uphold justice and confess us in front of the emperor. He is really our great benefactor. King Pingx has many enemies, and their martial arts are very mixed. Only Prince Mu's martial arts has its own family, which is easy to recognize.
come out."
Wei Xiaobao said: "Well, it's a pity that we can't find anyone from Prince Mu's palace at the moment. Otherwise, we can let him show off a few of his moves."
Yang Yizhi said: "Mujia Quan and Mujia Sword have been circulating in Yunnan for a long time. I remember some of them. I will perform a few sets and ask my father-in-law for advice. The assassin enters the palace, carrying a sword. I will perform a set of Mujia's Return to the Wind.
How about sword'?"
Wei Xiaobao said happily: "You know the Mu family's martial arts, so nothing is better. I don't know anything about swordsmanship, and I won't be able to learn it for a while, so I'd better learn a few moves of the 'Mu family's boxing' from you."
Yang Yizhi said: "It's okay. My father-in-law captured Obei with great force and became famous all over the world. His boxing and kicking skills must be extremely high. Please give me some advice if the villain can't do anything."
As he spoke, Yang Yizhi stood in the hall, opened his stance, and slowly moved out with one move after another.
This Mu family boxing has been handed down from Mu Ying for more than three hundred years. It has been passed down by masters in every dynasty. It can be said that it is a work of hard work, and there are many people in Yunnan who know it.
Although Yang Yizhi is not good at this boxing technique, he is very skilled in martial arts and has extensive knowledge. He can perform every move with great dignity and exquisite moves.
When Wei Xiaobao saw the "sweeping thousands of armies" move, he praised: "This move is excellent!"
Later, I saw him perform "Mountains and Flowing Waters" again, and I praised him again: "This trick is amazing!"
After he finished a set of Mu Family Boxing, he said: "Very good, very good! Brother Yang, if you take your martial arts seriously, even those martial arts masters in Prince Dekang's palace will beat you one out of ten, and they are no match for you."
For a while, I couldn't learn much. I could only learn one or two moves and perform them in front of the emperor. The emperor uploaded the martial arts masters in the palace to recognize them. Do you want to recognize the origin of this martial arts? "
As he spoke, he gesticulated and used the two moves "Sweeping Thousands of Troops" and "Mountains and Flowing Waters" in the same manner.
Yang Yizhi said happily: "My father-in-law made these two moves of 'Sweeping Thousands of Arms' and 'Mountain Flowing Water' very profound. As soon as the Hui family saw it, they knew it was the Mu family's boxing technique. My father-in-law is very smart, and he knows it as soon as he sees it. We Wu
The family can be saved."
Wu Yingxiong bowed repeatedly and said: "The Wu family is full of people, and they all rely on my father-in-law to help save their lives."
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Wu Sangui's family has a lot of gold and silver, and I don't need to negotiate the price with him."
Wei Xiaobao immediately bowed and returned the gift and said: "We are all good friends. My dear prince, no matter how kind or helpful you say, you are too ignorant. Besides, I am trying my best, but I don't know if it will work."
Wu Yingxiong repeatedly said: "Yes, yes!"
Wei Xiaobao wrapped up the baggage and held it under his side, thinking: "I won't be busy giving this bag to him."
Wei Xiaobao suddenly remembered something and said: "Little prince, the emperor asked me to ask you something. There is an official from Yunnan who came to Beijing. His name is Lu Yifeng. Is he such a famous person?"
Wu Yingxiong was startled and thought to himself: "Lu Yifeng is just a low-level official. He came to the capital to see your Majesty, but he hasn't even met the Emperor yet. How come the Emperor already knows about it?"
Wu Yingxiong then said: "Lu Yifeng is the magistrate of Qujing County in Yunnan Province under the new committee. He is currently in Beijing, waiting to see the Holy One."
Wei Xiaobao said: "The Emperor asked me to ask you, Lu Yifeng bullied good people in the restaurant a few days ago and allowed evil servants to beat people. I wonder if his temper has improved recently?"
The reason Lu Yifeng was able to get Wu Sangui appointed as the magistrate of Qujing County was through bribery with more than 40,000 taels of silver. Wu Yingxiong had taken more than 3,000 taels from it. When Wei Xiaobao said this, he was shocked.
Wu Yingxiong said quickly: "I have to teach him a lesson because of my humble position." He turned to Yang Yizhi and said: "Go and call Lu Yifeng immediately, and give him fifty blows first."
Then he greeted Wei Xiaobao and said: "Eunuch, please start to report to the emperor, saying: Wu Sangui, a minor minister, knows unknown people and recommends people improperly. Please punish the emperor. This Lu Yifeng will be dismissed immediately and will never be used again. Please ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs
Your Excellency appoints another capable person."
Wei Xiaobao said: "You don't need to be punished so severely, right?"
Wu Yingxiong said: "This guy Lu Yifeng is so bold and reckless. God will listen to him. He is really guilty and will not be punished. If it's too much, you can beat him hard."
Yang Yizhi responded: "Yes!"
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "This official named Lu is afraid of his life."
Then he said: "Brother, I will go back to the palace to see the emperor now. These two moves of 'sweeping thousands of armies' and 'mountains and flowing water' must be used in the same way." He said goodbye and went out.
Wu Yingxiong took out a large envelope from his sleeve, presented it to his queen, and said: "Eunuch Gui, your great kindness and kindness cannot be repaid easily. But in front of the chief steward, Mr. Suo, and all the imperial guards,
You have to show some respect.
It’s just a small thing here. I’m bothering you, Eunuch Gui, to hand it over to me for my humble position. When the emperor asks, everyone will help with a few words, and the grievances of Wei Chen and his son will be cleared up.”
Wei Xiaobao took it and said with a smile: "Do you want me to do a favor for you? This errand is not difficult to handle!"
He had been in the palace for more than a year, and he had learned the eunuchs' accents thoroughly. There was no trace of the Yangzhou accent in the Beijing movies where he was a poor talker. If he started pretending to be Xiao Guizi at this time, the blind Eunuch Hai would probably
It’s not easy to detect anymore.
Wu Yingxiong and Yang Yizhi sent Wei Xiaobao out of the house respectfully.
Wei Xiaobao opened the envelope in the sedan chair and saw that it was actually a hundred thousand taels of silver notes. He thought to himself: "It belongs to his grandma. I'll go ahead and add two to one to make five."
I thought about putting 50,000 taels of silver notes into my arms, and the remaining 50,000 taels were still in the big envelope.
Wei Xiaobao first went to the study to see Kangxi, and the report was ready. He said that Wu Yingxiong had learned about the emperor's sage and had found out that his father and son had been wronged. He was so grateful that it was indescribable.
Kangxi smiled and said: "This can also scare him."
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "I only scared him to the point of peeing. I gave him a good warning, saying that this kind of thing would probably happen again in the future, and told him to tell Wu Sangui that he must be loyal and serve the emperor."
Kangxi kept nodding.
Wei Xiaobao said: "We have scared him enough, and then we told him that the Emperor Mingming saw Wanli, and when he checked the assassin's martial arts, he found out that it was a traitor from the Mu family in Yunnan. Wu Yingxiong was surprised and happy, and he followed
My buttocks and eyes were laughing, and I couldn’t stop praising the Emperor’s sage.”
Kangxi smiled slightly.
Wei Xiaobao took out the envelope from his arms and said: "He was extremely grateful. He took out a lot of silver notes, a total of fifty thousand taels, and said he would give me 10,000 taels, and asked me to share the other 40,000 taels with the palace last night.
Your dedicated bodyguards, Your Majesty, look, we have made a fortune."
Those banknotes are all five hundred taels each, and a hundred banknotes are already a thick stack.
Kangxi smiled and said: "You little boy, you can't use all ten thousand taels of silver in your lifetime. Just divide the remaining silver among the guards."
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Although the Emperor is wise, he never expected that I, Wei Xiaobao, have a net worth of hundreds of thousands of silver."
Wei Xiaobao then said: "Your Majesty, I am following you, what do you have? What is the use of this silver? I will serve you loyally all my life, and you will take care of me. I will give these 50,000 taels of silver to the guards. I just want
It is said to be a reward from the emperor, so why let Wu Yingxiong win people's hearts?"
Kangxi originally didn't want to give out rewards under false pretenses, but when he heard the words "buying people's hearts", he couldn't help but feel moved.
Wei Xiaobao saw that Kangxi was silent and said again: "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui sent his son to Beijing and brought a lot of gold and silver. If you give money to people you meet, you may not have any good intentions.
All the people, gold, silver and jewels in the world originally belong to your emperor, but this old boy Wu Sangui is so arrogant that it seems like Yunnan belongs to his Wu family."
Kangxi nodded and said: "You are right. Just say that I rewarded you with these silver coins."
Wei Xiaobao came to the guard room outside the upper study room and said to Duolong, the chief guard of the imperial guards: "Mr. Duo, the emperor has ordered that all the guards have performed well in escorting you last night, and you have been awarded 50,000 taels of silver."
Duolong was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very happy now. Just go in and thank the reward yourself." Then he handed the fifty thousand taels of silver notes to him.
Duolong followed Wei Xiaobao into the study, knelt down and kowtowed to Kangxi, and said, "The emperor rewards you with silver. I, my servant Duolong, and all the guards thank you for your reward."
Kangxi smiled and nodded. Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty has ordered that these fifty thousand taels of silver be distributed as you see. Those who have meritorious service in killing thieves, and those who have bravely been injured will receive more."
Duolong said: "Yes, yes. I obey the order."
Kangxi thought to himself: "Xiao Guizi is loyal and not greedy for money. It is very rare that he actually rewarded the servant with all the fifty thousand taels of silver without taking any money for himself."
