Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in the late Ming Dynasty, was called a peerless beauty in both historical data and folklore.
Since ancient times, beauties have had bad luck. Chen Yuanyuan was excellent in both sex and art. When he was imprisoned, he was rarely allowed to use sex to do anything to others. But men are all big pigs, and his true love went down the drain. Later, he was kidnapped by Tian Guifei and his father Tian Hong and was taken to the capital. It is said that Tian Guifei died of illness. He was afraid of falling out of favor, so he sent her to the palace, but Emperor Chongzhen was concerned about state affairs and was worried that beauty would bring disaster, so he sent her back. Of course, I don't know whether she slept or not.
Houtian Hongyu gave Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui because of his thigh. Wu Sangui had a wife named Zhang and several concubines, but after he got the beautiful woman, he only doted on her and hid it in the house without revealing it to others.
In a corner of the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, there was a bamboo pavilion beside the lotus pond. Chang Yu sat upright and stared at the goldfish swimming in the pond. He heard the sound of footsteps and looked up, and saw a beautiful woman in thin clothes slowly approaching with a piano in her arms.
Chang Yu, who traveled through time in later generations, has never seen any kind of girl, hot and coquettish, fresh and lovely. However, after seeing this kind of natural, non-additive and pollution-free girl, his eyes can't help but shine.
As his name suggests, he has an oval face. Chang Yu stood up with a chuckle and cupped his hands to the woman: "I have heard about Mr. Wanfang's name for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed a heavenly being."
This girl is Chen Yuanyuan. She is only twenty-one years old and is in the prime of youth. She is very surprised to see Chang Yu. She has heard for a long time that the factory owner is a young hero, so he is indeed extraordinary. She was even more surprised. This young man spoke politely, showed no contempt for her, and did not have the filthy temperament of the eunuchs according to rumors. On the contrary, his eyes were clear and he was actually a gentleman, which was really rare.
"Sir, you are so complimentary. We always have good music in our house, but today we are bothering you." Chang Yu said, turned around and sat down, and raised his hand to say "please".
Chen Yuanyuan saluted: "Sir, do you want to listen to the music or the piano first? But what's the point of listening?"
Chang Yu pondered for a while: "Mr. Wen, he is good at Ge Yang accent, and The West Chamber is even more outstanding. Our family is all ears to listen to it."
"Then, I will show my disgrace." Chen Yuanyuan then played the piano and sang a cappella. For a moment, Chang Yu felt like a spring breeze, and he seemed to have forgotten the worldly affairs in the silence.
The people are as beautiful as flowers, they are like clouds coming out of Xiu, the orioles are chirping, the six horses are raising their heads, and Chang Yu is fascinated and possessed.
After an unknown amount of time, Chang Yu finally regained his composure, and Chen Yuanyuan was holding the piano, looking at him and smiling softly: "Please let me know if you have any shortcomings."
Chang Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could tell me something. To be honest, he just liked listening to Wu Nong's soft words. He didn't even understand what he was singing. He just liked to listen to it, that's all!
"The tone of Mr. Qin's music has reached the realm of enlightenment. He is really a master. His appearance is elegant, his forehead is beautiful and plump, and his beauty is outstanding. Those who hear it will be moved to death. The reputation is truly worthy of his reputation."
You still have to pretend to be cool. Chang Yu didn't want to appear vulgar and vulgar in front of such a beauty, so he made up a few words and boasted about rainbow farts. As expected, Chen Yuanyuan was beaming with joy and became even more curious about the little eunuch. Legend has it that The young eunuch was decisive in killing. Who would have thought that he could speak in such a formal manner, so he boldly asked: "Can you tell me something about how to suppress bandits and bandits? Is it true that I heard that you personally wore armor and went into battle?" ?”
There is no man who doesn't like to show off in front of women, especially in front of a beauty like Chen Yuanyuan, and Chang Yu is no exception.
In the Wu Mansion, Wu Sangui was chatting with Tang Tong and Ma Ke in the hall, holding cups and cups and whispering. In the pavilion of the back house, the young eunuch and Wu Sangui were sometimes laughing, sometimes playing the piano and singing in a low voice.
The servant in his own house reported the affairs of the rear house to Wu Sangui, but he didn't take it seriously. If his concubine had a hot chat with Tang Tongma Ke playing the piano, he would be annoyed, but for the little eunuch, it didn't matter, and he even had a little secret joy, knowing that the future How to get what you want.
I don’t know how much time passed. Chang Yu and Chen Yuanyuan talked a lot in the garden of the back house. He talked about the charges on the battlefield, while Chen Yuanyuan talked about the scenery and personnel in Jiangnan. Recalling the past events, she couldn’t help but burst into tears. I don’t know if she was missing someone. Still remembering things.
Chang Yu didn't want to know.
But today is indeed a very happy afternoon.
Wu Sangui came hurriedly, followed by Ji Jike, and Chang Yu knew something was wrong.
As expected, Ji Jike hurried over and whispered a few words. Chang Yu raised his brows and cupped his hands towards Chen Yuanyuan: "Thank you for your hospitality, sir" and said to Wu Sangui: "We have urgent business, let's go first." Turn around and leave.
"Stay here to see me off..." Wu Sangui was about to chase after him, but Chang Yu said without looking back: "General Wu, you don't need to be polite, you're out of town like this. If you have time in the future, go to the Yamen and visit our house for tea."
Wu Sangui had no choice but to give up and watch his back disappear into the flowers and trees of the pavilions. Then he looked back at Chen Yuanyuan and asked, "Has this son ever been rude?"
Chen Yuanyuan shook her head gently: "The most polite person I have ever seen is also the youngest hero. It is not an exaggeration to praise him for his genius."
Wu Sangui raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Maybe I still have a crush on this young man."
"Is it possible that your husband is jealous?" Chen Yuanyuan smiled seductively, and Wu Sangui swallowed and spat: "I am also a hero, how can I be jealous of a eunuch? But you are right, this son is a rare talent in this world, and he is capable of conspiracy and conspiracy. The director's eyes became solemn as he spoke, either driven by it or parallel to it, otherwise..."
Chang Yu was chatting happily with the beauty, what could make him leave in a hurry?
There are clues about the assassination.
This morning he dug a hole, and the assassin couldn't help but jumped in. The chatty guy who could cut through the sky with one sword was escorted by Jiang Quan to the prison in Dongchang for trial. After being poured with a basin of cold water, he woke up and was whipped again. It was like pulling out nails and tapping teeth, so I resorted to it.
His name was Feng Chengyun, and he was a little killer boss. As Song Luoyu expected, he was indeed a dead man, but he didn't know why he was being raised by someone. The only valuable clue he gave was that he had a foothold somewhere in the West City.
The soldiers were very fast, and perhaps the person who settled down did not know that any of them were captured alive. Jiang Quan immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei to seal the city gate to help capture the people, and notified Chang Yu at the same time.
Outside a two-entry courtyard near the White Pagoda Temple in Fuchengmen, nearly a hundred soldiers and horses surrounded it. Neighbors pointed in the distance, unable to hide their faces with horror, wondering what this family had committed. thing.
When Chang Yu arrived, the streets and alley entrances were under martial law. The soldiers of the Jinyiwei were attacking fiercely with knives. The archers on the nearby houses were shouting and cursing while firing arrows. For a while, you came and went, whistling and shouting at each other. damage.
Seeing Chang Yu arriving in person, Jiang Quan hurriedly came forward and said: "I reported to the factory official that after asking for a confession, I immediately sealed the city gate and sent people to get it. The thieves had no time to escape and were blocked inside, so they resisted stubbornly."
Chang Yu saw more than ten Jinyi guards injured outside the wall of the adjacent courtyard and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "How many people are there?"
"The specifics are unknown, but it is roughly estimated that there are no less than thirty people, and they have strong bows and crossbows. I have attacked three times and injured more than ten people, but I have not been able to get the result..."
There were more than 30 fierce bandits and sufficient military supplies. It was obvious that this was not their temporary foothold, but at least a stronghold. Faced with these tough problems, they had to be dealt with professionally, so they ordered the Jinyi Guards to be withdrawn to stop the attack and besiege them first. , and asked people to mobilize the Black Wolf Camp.
"Flattery Yun confesses. He is just one of the small leaders of the Bingzi group. He doesn't even know who the master behind it is. It can be seen that this organization is very big, but it is more like a killer organization in the world than a dead soldier raised by a wealthy family." While waiting , Jiang Quan reported all the details of the interrogation to Chang Yu.
Chang Yu shook his head: "In these troubled times, everyone with such a big organization in the Jianghu has already stood up to rebel. It is far more profitable than being a killer, and it is not just for the sake of being an enemy of the governor, so the governor is more I believe they are dead men."
"But... it costs a lot of money to raise so many dead soldiers. It seems that they really spent a lot of money to deal with the factory boss." Jiang Quan frowned.
Chang Yu sneered: "So the mastermind behind it is playing a big game. It is definitely not just one person who established this dead soldier organization, and it is definitely not just to deal with the governor."
Ah, Jiang Quan was stunned: "Maybe we can only find out if we arrest a few more people alive."
"I'm afraid, the people in this yard are just peripheral errands, and they may not know as much as the flattery." Chang Yu sighed deeply: "Since you are a dead soldier, you can't be easily exposed. The governor has an idea. There are some people who secretly raised a group of dead soldiers, and these dead soldiers also trained and raised a group of desperadoes... And even those dead soldiers have very few chances of knowing the master behind the scenes." He looked at Jiang Quan and said: " There must be a big conspiracy, and if it is solved, it will be a great achievement, so you should be careful."
Jiang Quan immediately became energetic: "I will definitely find him out".
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Let's get rid of this nest first and then talk about other things."
Jiang Quan couldn't help but blush.
