"Mazi, Dapao, Wang An, and Wang Quan, hurry up and collect firewood. Master, you are responsible for keeping watch... Dad, quickly search those two guards to see if there is any stolen money or anything?"
After confirming that Aobai had died with a grievance, Wang Zhongxiao immediately began to send errands to the people around him. He also put away his bow and arrows, drew out his sword, and then got off his horse. After he was completely dead, he began to search for Oboi's body...
However, when Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao began to search the dead body, Wang Zhongxian, Wang Zhongyi, Wang An, and Wang Quan sat on their horses in confusion and did not move, because they did not know the "fraud" arranged by Wang Zhongxiao for Ao Bai. Live" plan.
"Second brother, do you want us to... collect firewood?"
"What are you collecting firewood for? Are you going to spend the night in the mountains?"
"Second brother, let's light up a few torches and drive through the night."
"Yes, it's not far from Beijing. You should be able to return to the city at noon tomorrow."
After hearing these questions, Wang Zhongxiao had no choice but to patiently explain while searching Oboi's body.
"Brothers, listen up, my father and I have discussed it. If we want to end the Qing Dynasty, we have to treat Obei's capture as a long-term deal... We can't capture it all at once. If we capture it all at once, Then there is no need to catch him anymore, maybe the bird will be gone and the bow will be hidden, so aren’t we catching him blind?
So we can't hand over Obai's body happily, we have to help Obai "pretend to be alive"! "
"Pretending... to live?" Wang Mazi and Wang Zhongxian asked, "What is pretending to live?"
Wang Zhongxiao laughed and said: "Pretending is to pretend that Obai is still alive, hiding in some nook and cranny, trying to contact the old ministry, colluding with the three confederations, and overthrowing our emperor in one fell swoop! Only if Obai is alive can we continue to arrest him, keep arresting him!"
"this......"
"Second brother, what are you..."
"But the Emperor is not kind to you!"
"Yes, now that we have achieved great success in killing Aobai, are we afraid that we will lose our glory and wealth?"
Wang Zhongxiao was a little speechless after hearing what these people said. He turned back and glanced at Wang Fuchen who was squatting on the ground counting banknotes, and then coughed.
Wang Fuchen smiled and collected the banknotes, stood up and said to his two adopted sons and two confidant slaves: "I dare not take the credit for killing Obai. He is the number one Batulu in Manchuria! I am recognized as the best fighter among the Han people. . . . You guys think about it carefully. Is it appropriate that the first warrior of the Han people killed the first warrior of Manchuria? What would those Manchu banners think?
Moreover, I have been with many masters, and I have been loyal to Dashun, Ming, and Qing, and I have been loyal to each of them twice! If this person gets the credit for killing Obai, I'm sure many uncles will gossip in the emperor's ears in the future!
Although handing over Obai's body now is a great achievement, no matter how great this merit is, can it be as great as that of Obai? Can we still be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and remain loyal to the Qing Dynasty? Since Obaidu has ended up like this, shouldn't we be more vigilant? "
Wang Zhongxiao added: "My father is right, it is better to have great merit than to be of great use... If you have great merit but no great use, the best outcome is to be in captivity. Even if you are granted a title, how much money can you get?" ? And it’s very useful, hehe, with my father’s ability and qualifications, and the hard work he has done to help the emperor fight against Aobei, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to let go of the governor? My father has a governor, are you still afraid that there will be no good jobs? "
The four people "Xian, Yi, An, and Quan" all grew up in Wang Fuchen's family. They were still a bit superstitious about Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao. When they heard that Wang Fuchen could become the governor, they all showed convinced expressions.
Wang Fuchen waved his hand and said: "Go quickly and collect more dry firewood. We have to burn the bodies of Obai and the two guards!"
After killing someone, of course you have to burn the body and destroy the evidence!
Seeing "Xian, Yi, An, and Quan" going to collect firewood, Wang Fuchen breathed out. Just as he was about to eat something and rest for a while, his son Wang Zhongxiao's voice came to mind again: "Dad, come here quickly. Help me support Obei."
"Support Oboi?" Wang Fuchen looked back at his son, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to peel off Obai's official uniform... This is the Duke's court uniform, it's a good thing!"
Wang Fuchen was stunned, "What's the use of peeling that thing? Do you still want to sell it for money?"
"What price do you sell for?" Wang Zhongxiao chuckled, "We have to find someone to take the blame for running away from Obai!" As he spoke, he gently patted the dead Obai, "Dad, we can't catch him. Can this Oboi have the same nature as someone who deliberately let Oboi go?"
"Of course this is different...but who would let Obai go on purpose?"
Wang Zhongxiao smiled mysteriously again, "Of course he is Obai's accomplice!"
...
Where did Obai go?
Is this the question that Emperor Kangxi wanted to know most after the successful rebellion?
It is already March 20th, the eighth year of Kangxi reign. Twelve days have passed since Kangxi rebelled and seized power, and Obai was defeated! Beijing has long been under the control of Emperor Kangxi, and Obai's gang members should be arrested, killed, and kept as lackeys.
The local memorials supporting the emperor and opposing Obai were also sent to Beijing like flakes, and Kangxi, who was so numerous, was too lazy to read them.
In short, everything is so bad, except for one thing...that is, where is Obai?
Ao Bai must have left Beijing and went out through Xizhimen. There were many people who saw him on the eighth day of March, so it was unmistakable. Many people saw Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao leading several yellow jackets and chasing them out at the same time. There were still people counted, and there were only three people on Ao Bai's side, including Ao Bai himself, and seven people on Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and his son's side.
Seven is greater than three...so victory is guaranteed!
Kangxi, who was proficient in mathematics, counted on his fingers and felt that it was stable.
But I didn't expect to see Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao tying up Ao Bai to ask for credit for several days.
This made Kangxi very anxious!
Although the overall situation has been decided now, it is impossible for Obai to make a comeback. But after all, Ao Bai has been in power for many years, and his disciples and old officials are all over the Eight Banners...Who knows if he will collude with some hidden accomplices to do some treacherous things to murder the king?
So on the third day after Obai was expelled, Kangxi could no longer control his anger. He sent his confidant Suo'etu, who was also the leader of the bodyguard, to lead people out of Beijing, following Wang Fuchen and Wang Fuchen. The traces of Zhongxiao and Obai were searched for.
However, Suo'etu did not find the Wang family and his son and Obai. He only brought back a piece of news that made Kangxi even more worried. On the afternoon of the eighth day of March, Obai and his men appeared in a market near Xishan and robbed him. They went to a tea stall and stole a pot of barley tea. After drinking the tea, they got on their horses and headed for the mountains again.
Not long after Obai left, seven more yellow jackets arrived at the market and robbed the tea stall again. They should be Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and his party - this tea stall was really miserable, first it was robbed by a minister of the State Council, and then it was robbed by a general soldier!
After Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao robbed the tea stall, they also followed Ao Bai into Xishan... After that, there was no news about Ao Bai and Wang's father and son, and they didn't know where they were going. Already?
Kangxi was a little anxious now... Once Obai went up the mountain, it would not be easy to catch him!
Isn't this Obai just going to be a bandit in the Western Mountains? Xishan is so close to Beijing. This Obai can go down the mountain and visit Beijing at any time... He has been a minister in charge of the bodyguard for many years. There are dog holes in the Imperial City and the Forbidden City. Clear as day!
In addition, there must be an insider from Obai in the Forbidden City!
The traitor who shouted "There's an ambush, Master Ao, run" that day has not been caught yet!
If Ao Bai was not dead and the inside and outside were coordinated, would Kangxi still need the little pockmarked head?
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi had a little insomnia at night for the past two days. As soon as he closed his eyelids, he dreamed of Obai breaking into the palace with a sharp knife to commit murder.
In order to get a good night's sleep, Kangxi had to break the rule that guards could not enter Jingyun Gate at night (originally there could only be one court official and two imperial doctors at Yuehua Gate and Imperial Pharmacy in the Qianqing Palace compound). On duty inside), Guanyin Bao and a group of sturdy men were asked to guard outside the palace every night... But in this way, it would be very inconvenient for the little emperor to indulge in debauchery!
And what kind of appearance does Guanyin guarantee? What do those guards look like? What does little Mazi look like? What if the women in the palace have bad thoughts after seeing Guanyin Bao and the guards... Then isn't the little pockmarked hat going to turn green?
Besides, with just those few people, can they really stop Batulu Obai, the number one man in Manchuria?
Just when Xiao Mazi was restless over the question "Where is Obai going?", Xiao Guizi's surprised voice suddenly came from outside the South Study: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Wang Zhongxiao is back!"
