A large, old car rolled rumbled through the bustling streets of Beijing's outer city and turned into an inconspicuous alley.
At the entrance of the alley, there had long been people with braids on their heads. At first glance, they looked like idle gangsters, standing and squatting lazily. When the coachman saw them, he quickly tightened the reins and did not dare to go any further.
The man sitting in the car seemed to feel that the car had stopped suddenly, so he opened the car curtain, looked at the alley with his round face, and then sighed.
This person is Wang Zhongxiao's right-hand man, Yu Deshui Yu Master.
"Sir, we have arrived at Pimpiaoying Alley..." The driver spoke at this time, "But we can only go here, and we can't go in any further."
"It's okay..." Master Yu got out of the carriage, took out a small piece of broken silver and threw it to the driver, smiling and saying, "Just get here!"
The driver took the money and kindly reminded him: "Sir, you have to be careful. The West Pipiaoying Hutong and Dongpi Tiaoying Hutong areas are not peaceful right now. There is a group of bullies from Tongzhou here."
"I know, I know," Master Yu said with a smile, "I'm an old neighbor here. Let's go home and have a look."
After saying this, Master Yu took out a folding fan, unfolded it, and while waving the fan, he hummed a tune, just like a scholar and poet who came to visit the Bada Hutong, shaking his head and walking towards the Pipiaoying Alley.
This Pipiaoying Hutong was called Banbian Street in the Ming Dynasty, because earlier there were houses on one side of the street and a large puddle on the other side, which was also a "water-view house." Now the puddle has long been filled in and turned into a narrow and long alley. And because this alley happens to be in the Bada Hutong area, there are often poor young ladies soliciting customers in the alley, so it became a "pimp camp" ", over time, the name of Dongxi Pipiaoying Hutong became famous.
But in fact, there are not many brothels and brothels in this pipiaoying alley, and they are not among the "eight major". Instead, there are many escort agencies and several stinky tofu factories - the escort agencies of Da Dao Wang Wu and Wang Zhihe in history. The old one is in Pipiao Alley.
In addition, there is no "Lajia" in Pipiao Hutong. This is an outer city, and no Manchu dignitaries will live here. However, when the Ming Dynasty ran out of money, there was a famous "Pip Hutong Yujia", which was the Tiqi family of Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town!
This Jinyiwei Tiqi is not the same as those hereditary Qianhu or Baihu. They do dirty work, and they must have real skills. The hereditary Jinyiwei who are just dawdling can't do it. Therefore, this Tiqiyu family is not a descendant of the Huaixi military family who followed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di to conquer the world, but a "hero" who practiced martial arts, traveled around the world, and collected "protection fees"... Bada Hutong The young ladies in this area were protected by Pipiao Hutong's family back then.
But that is all in the past. When the old Yu family was Tiqi, they offended too many people. Once the Ming Dynasty was over, those enemies would have revenge and grievances. As a result, everyone in Lao Yu's family lost their loyalty, leaving only Yu Deshui...
But now Yu Deshui is shaking. He is now the master of the nine admirals, and the Yu family of Pip Hutong has been revived!
Someone among the gangsters guarding the entrance of Pipiao Alley knew Master Yu, and he immediately led the gangsters below to come up, bowed and saluted, and said, "Greetings to Master Yu!"
Master Yu glanced at the leading gangster, waved his fan, and asked with a smile: "Zheng Desheng, is your Mr. Yang at home?"
"Here, at home!"
The gangster named Zheng Desheng quickly waved, and immediately two big gangsters came forward to guard Master Yu with him, and together they entered the narrow and slender alley.
The group of people walked quickly along the alley and soon entered a shabby courtyard. The courtyard was filled with miscellaneous furnishings, the light was dim, and there were several large, shabby-looking cars parked. The smell in the yard was also a bit strong, with all kinds of stinky smells permeating everywhere. Even though Master Yu had been hanging out in the military camp with Wang Fuchen for many years, he couldn't help but sniff.
Master Yu quickly fanned himself a few times and asked Zheng Desheng next to him in a low voice: "Where is Yang Qilong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a door in the courtyard being pushed open. Yang Qilong, who was dressed in a moon-white gown, came out with a smile. When he saw Master Yu, he held his hands in front of him: "Brother Yu, which gust of wind will blow you away?" Was it blown?"
Yu Deshui looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Yang San, my family lives in Pipiao Hutong. Do I need strong wind when I go home?"
Yang Qilong smiled bitterly: "That's right. If I remember correctly, the area opposite is your old house, right? With your current status, it would be easy for you to go back to live in Pipiao Hutong. If you are like me, you will never be able to go back in this life. Went to the old house.”
"Really?" Yu Deshui smiled and took out the letter Wang Zhongxiao gave him and waved it in front of Yang Qilong's eyes, "Yang San, the chance to go home has come... It depends on what you want. I don’t want it anymore!”
"This is..." Yang Qilong took the letter and read the words on the envelope. His expression suddenly changed, and then he looked at Yu Deshui blankly.
Yu Deshui said in a low voice: "The Qing Dynasty will also set up a Beizhen Fusi... to deal with Prince Aobai, Wu Sangui and Zhu San! Yang San, if I remember correctly, you, Wu Yingxiong and Zhu The Third Prince is quite familiar with me, right?"
Yang Qilong smiled: "Brother Yu, do you want me to help capture the third prince Zhu?"
"Catch the fake Prince Zhu!" Yu Deshui looked at Yang Qilong, "How about it? Do you want to do it or not?"
"Do it!" Yang Qilong said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I know the fake Prince Zhu the best!"
Yu Deshui smiled and said: "There are better things!"
"Really? Anything else good?"
Yu Deshui said in a low voice: "Help Prince Yu lend money and collect accounts... This Prince Yu will be in charge of Fusi, the North Town of the Qing Dynasty, for the emperor! There will be a lot of money to be collected and debts to be released, so I plan to set up a bank to do this! Yang San, my second son has recommended you to the prince! Do you know what to do? "
"I know, I know!" Yang Qilong was already smiling from ear to ear.
Yang Qilong never expected that Wang Zhongxiao would value him so much... It seems that he has "true love" for his sister!
Thinking of this, Yang Qilong raised his hand and pointed at the door of the living room, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, please come inside... let's talk slowly and carefully!"
"Okay! Let's talk!"
...
"I really don't know that Obai has such ambitions! It's all because I'm confused. I only want to be an official so that I can serve the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, so I went to flatter Obai. Who knew that Obai was actually with me? Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao are the same thing! The slave flattered him, and the slave is guilty..."
In the quiet Cining Palace, an old man was heard crying and sobbing. Bumbutai sat on the chair, not knowing what he was thinking. He squinted his small eyes and had no expression on his fat face.
The person kneeling in front of her was Tu Hai. He talked and cried with a dejected look on his face, and when he got to the emotional point, he kept bumping his head on the ground. Aunt Sumala stood behind the old lady, while Suo'etu stood beside the old lady, looking at the old lady's face with a sideways look.
After Tuhai finally finished his apology, Bumubutai slowly said: "Have you handed over the apology letter? What does the emperor think?"
Tuhai replied: "Hand it over. As soon as I enter the palace today, I will hand over the apology note."
Suo'etu said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor didn't say anything. There have been so many excuses in the past few days that the Emperor almost didn't have time to read them."
"Oh," Bumbutai said, "That means the law does not rule the masses! Oboi has been in power for so many years and is so old and vicious. Who dares not to flatter him? This is not a big deal. Your Majesty will not We will look into it further.”
"But, but I have indeed been promoted by Obai..." Tuhai lay on the ground and said with tears, "I was dismissed from office and my house was ransacked, and I am about to go to Ninggu Pagoda... .. It was Obai who fished out the slave because he had the late emperor's last words. Later, the slave followed Mulima to Huguang to suppress the bandits. The slave did not know how to fight. Mulima could fight and destroy them. I got rid of the remnants of that gang of thieves and made my great achievements in vain. So I was really grateful to Obei before, but I am really guilty!"
Bumbutai nodded and said: "It was the late emperor's intention to fish you out. You don't need to be grateful to Obai. As for going to Huguang with Mulima to perform meritorious services, it was indeed Obai who supported you, and it is only natural for you to be grateful to him. Look back. Just make it clear to the emperor, the emperor is not an unreasonable person!"
