After he paused, he entered the mansion. When he opened his eyes, he saw that food, drink, and money were all arranged neatly. The little eunuch knew who was responsible for this, so he patted Hua Shixiong on the shoulder and said:
"Old Hua, you are supposed to be a talented person, but it's a pity that you didn't use it properly. Zou Xigui embezzled so much money. It's hard to say that you didn't have a plan."
Hua Shixiong didn't know whether the imperial envoy was praising him or scolding him. After pondering for a long time, he turned around and said a few yes-yes-yes, and then explained:
"Sir, the right way is to follow the dog and eat shit and the wolf to eat meat. You have to obey whoever takes the bowl to eat. You said that I am helpless and surrendered to Zou Xigui's family. Is it okay if I don't do things for him? Sir
, To be honest, I didn’t take a single tael of silver privately. Scholars don’t talk about money!”
The little eunuch smiled and said: "Forget it, I'm not asking you to settle accounts, why are you panicking? From now on, if you follow me, you will have food to eat and clothes to wear, but if you are frightened, you will inevitably lose your head. Don't think that you can
If you follow me, you will eat meat every day!"
"That's that," Hua Shixiong murmured for a long time before saying, "Let's not talk about what to eat and wear for now, but one thing can be said: you don't have to worry."
"What are you worried about?" the little eunuch wondered.
"Don't worry about losing your head"
"That's what you said wrong. Don't tell me, I might lose my head at any time," the little eunuch said seriously.
"Who dares to kill the imperial envoy? You turned against him!" Hua Shixiong said with confidence.
The little eunuch smiled and said: "You are still a scholar. You don't understand this principle. If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will rush it. There are many people seeking my head, so my life is too tiring. I must always be careful.
It’s not that I quit in spite of the difficulties. To be honest, I have long thought of retiring. It’s just that after I kill all the people who want to kill me, I will retreat to the mountains and forests to live a pastoral life with my wives.
A fairy-like life”
"Do you have a wife?" Hua Shixiong blurted out, but regretted it a little, changed his tone and said, "Sir, I made a mistake."
"You didn't slip up. I know what you want to say," the little eunuch corrected, and finally added, "You may have heard that Pan You'an is a eunuch, but I am a fake eunuch. I am still peeing standing up. You should have done it."
Didn't you want me to take off my pants to check the authenticity? Now I will take off my pants and let you see the result."
"Don't you dare!" Hua Shixiong quickly waved his hands to stop him.
"Lest you always suspect that I am a fake," the little eunuch joked.
"No, no, I understand" Hua Shixiong nodded and said
In fact, he didn't understand anything. Scholars have many eyes and always like to hide their thoughts in their hearts. Why did the eunuch pee standing up? Is there something wrong in some link? This problem is too complicated. According to his imagination, let alone a short time,
Even in his lifetime, he would never be able to figure it out. He was full of doubts and smiled at the little eunuch. Who was the little eunuch? How could he hide his little thoughts from him, but he didn't need to go any further.
Explanation, of course Hua Shixiong cannot and does not dare to investigate further.
Hua Shixiong won the trust of the young eunuch by relying on his quick mind, quick thinking, and timely turning of the gun. This was not because the young eunuch was indifferent or was negligent. He was really short of people at the moment, no matter what.
Talented fools can only do things for themselves that talented people can do. He, Hu San, and Wang Xiaowu can't do it.
While they were talking, a few people came. Fat Xishi and her gang leader came to see them with a lot of ready-made food. The little eunuch frowned and came up with an idea. He leaned into Hua Shixiong's ear like this
After talking about it, Wang Xiaowu was assigned a task
That night, the wedding of Hu San and Fat Xishi was held in the lobby of the prefecture. The young eunuch announced on the spot that before the new prefect took office, Hu Sanquan would concurrently serve as the prefect.
I have coveted the little eunuch, but I can't be too demanding. Just get Long, no need to look forward to Shu.
It was the first time in the young eunuch's life that he had made a wedding dress for someone else, and it was also the first time in his life that he had watched someone else enter the bridal chamber. He had a sour heart and thought again, he should not be too greedy, like Zou Xigui, who made such a big deal
The money, after all, was not in vain. Moreover, today was the day when his younger brother got married. He should be happy. The little eunuch convinced him. He was about to undress and go to bed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the house. The person reporting the incident was the magistrate on duty.
, he whispered outside the door:
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Envoy, a female general has come to the house, and she has five or seven female soldiers under her. She said she wants to meet with the Imperial Envoy. She has something important to tell her. Will you see her or not?"
The little eunuch rolled over from the bed, his clothes unbuttoned yet, opened the door, took three steps at a time, and walked straight to the door.
The little eunuch and Huang Qiuchan were lying on the bed. After some tenderness, the lady said:
"Mr. Lang, I went to the provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou. Yesterday, a villager from the fiefdom of the Eight Kings came to report that the Eight Kings have been in frequent contact recently and there seems to be signs of rebellion. I'm afraid that you don't know the seriousness and stray into danger, so I came here to tell you.
"
There was a bang in the little eunuch's head, and he knew that something difficult was going on. The Eight Kings were in civil strife. He had heard about it for a long time, but he didn't get the real evidence, so the court did not send troops. Among the Eight Kings, except for the emperor's brothers and brothers,
, as well as his uncles and grandfathers, princes and grandsons, when the land was first divided, they only wanted to go to remote places. Unexpectedly, they were too close to each other, and it became a common phenomenon that they would fall in love with each other.
"How did Madam get this news?" asked the little eunuch
Huang Qiuchan said: "Mr. Lang doesn't know something. When my five brothers were still alive, they were colluding with the Eighth Prince. They often exchanged letters and personnel. Maybe there are still undercover spies of the Eighth Prince in our village. They heard
They said that you had cut off their accomplices, and they were dissatisfied and vowed to kill you, so I was very worried. In my opinion, it would be better for you to stop here, and when you go back, you should report to the emperor, and let the court send troops to destroy the insurgents.
Late"
The little eunuch thought about it and said: "This is not appropriate. The eight kings rebelled. There is insufficient evidence and the court has no choice. It's not a good idea to go out!"
"What do you think is best?" Huang Qiuchan asked.
"I want to explore the truth," the little eunuch said without thinking.
"I don't!" Huang Qiuchan hugged the young eunuch's neck and said, "There is no reason why I can't risk my husband's life for his royal family."
The little eunuch smiled calmly and said: "How can it be so serious? I don't believe they can still eat me? Even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, I will go through it."
"How many troops are you planning to bring?" Huang Qiuchan asked.
"With more people, the target will be bigger. Just me, Wang Xiaowu, Zhang Facun, and the newly recruited master Hua Shixiong are enough!" said the young eunuch!
"If you insist on going, I can't stop you. I'll give you another family member, Ding Huangren, who has been to the Eight Kings fief many times. He knows the roads and the people. Huang Ren is a kind man and knows some martial arts. He can be a helper when he goes there."
The young eunuch reluctantly refused and was afraid of violating the lady's good intentions, so he had to say:
"OK!"
"You must be more careful!" Huang Qiuchan warned.
The little eunuch kissed his wife on the lips and said with a smile: "It's okay, my life is still valuable!"
Nothing to say that night
Early the next morning, the young eunuch summoned General Huayang and explained something like this
Huayang Commander-in-Chief Liu Jianxun traces his origins to Wang Shugui's line. However, due to his small official position and being in a remote town, he has no reputation. He has never been able to see Prime Minister Wang's face. I don't know whether he is bald or pockmarked.
His kind-hearted superior officer Zou Xigui only cared about making money for himself and paid no attention to military affairs. Liu Jianxun had nowhere to use his power and accumulated a lot of grievances.
General Liu came from a humble background. In his early years, he lived on the streets and made a living by performing tricks and performing arts. The former commander-in-chief saw that he had outstanding talents and good martial arts, and wanted to promote him, so he was recruited under his command. He started as a soldier and worked his way up the ranks.
Until now
Liu Jianxun had never seen an official bigger than the prefect in his life, and now he was personally summoned by the emperor's imperial envoy. He felt flattered and grateful for an instant. The two sat down to talk, and he felt a little sympathy for each other, and he felt like he had met so late.
The Imperial Envoy is not very old and looks like a white-faced scholar. People cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Watching people discuss military affairs, chatting about world affairs, and discussing world affairs is like an eagle catching a rabbit. He picked it up with that idiot.
Compared with Zou Xigui, he is simply incomparable. No wonder the emperor has a keen eye for talents and chose him as the imperial envoy!
During the conversation, the young eunuch also discovered that Liu Jianxun was a good person and had such a capable helper. He became more determined to defeat the rebels. He promised Liu Jianxun that after the incident was completed, he would report to the emperor and make him a general and serve as an official in the capital.
When Liu Jianxun heard this, he quickly left his seat and kowtowed, thanking the young eunuch for his kindness.
Due to priorities, the young eunuch allocated all the 100,000 taels of silver that were going to be escorted to the border to Liu Jianxun, and ordered him to use it as military expenses, station troops and pay for food, and gave him three months to train men and horses to form a force of 100,000 people.
The large army can recruit local troops from nearby state capitals, or recruit new soldiers locally.
After everything was arranged, the young eunuch, Wang Xiaowu, Hua Shixiong, Zhang Facun and Huang Ren set out for the land of Yunnan and Guizhou. Only the young eunuch was riding a horse, and the others were riding donkeys and mules, pretending to be
The little eunuch who looked like a businessman left the gold seal and the imperial edict at Hu San's house, and Hu San temporarily acted as the imperial envoy. His seduction spear was left with Liu Jianxun. He only left the diamond sword on his waist because he was traveling secretly.
, Hu San and Huang Qiuchan were not able to leave the city to see them off.
On this day, when they arrived at a place, the little eunuch and others looked up and knew that they had arrived at Fanwang City.
