In the afternoon of that day, Liu Zongmin was ordered to rectify the order of the Beijing Division, drove the soldiers stranded in the city out of the city, and concentrated them in the camp, where they were arrested and thieves who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.He rushed to the Chengtianfu prison and released the officials and merchants who had not yet been released from the prison.Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, was also released from prison with the released officials.Although Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin to release Wu Xiang and met him personally.But afterwards, Liu Zongmin saw that Wu Xiang was relying on his son's power and didn't take any of his sons, so he was so angry that he ignored Li Zicheng's order and arrested Wu Xiang in prison.It can also be seen from this how bold this Liu blacksmith was Seeing Wu Xiang come out of prison, Liu Zongmin still did not give up, and called him to the inner hall of the palace and taught him a lesson: "Wu Xiang, you remember, the reason for releasing you is because His Majesty Dashun is extrajudicial and forgives all officials, and you are also stained, not because you are afraid of your son Wu Sangui."
After you go back, you must not leave the capital without authorization, and you must not secretly collude with your son, otherwise, once you find out, be careful of your dog's life" Wu Xiang bowed and nodded yes.Liu Zongmin felt uneasy in his heart, thought about it and continued to admonish: "Wu Sangui will say that he wants to surrender for a while, and he will regret it for a while, and there is no man, well, a manly man, standing up to the sky, spitting, and smashing on the ground is a pit, what kind of thing do you say you raised, if it weren't for Your Majesty to stop me, I would have led the army over to kill him, tell your son, let him come and surrender early, don't push, twist and pinch, like a woman with small feet."
Wu Xiang could only nod yes, not daring to say more.Liu Zongmin still felt puzzled, and said: "If you want to take the silver, you can say no, this time Lao Tzu will accompany you back, Lao Tzu wants to see if you have it."
I thought that I had finally survived, but I didn't think about it, Liu Zongmin still didn't give up, and he wanted to go to the house, Wu Xiang couldn't help but be anxious.Officials in Beijing, all those whose homes are raided will not be able to protect their property, and there are beautiful women in their families, and they will not be able to avoid humiliation.And in Wu Xiang's family, there is a beautiful woman at this moment, Chen Yuanyuan.This woman is a courtesan in Suzhou, beautiful and unparalleled, and was bought by Tian Hongyu, the father of Tian Guifei, to give it to Emperor Chongzhen.In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Tian Guifei fell ill and died, Chongzhen loved this woman alone, and he was in great sorrow for a while, and he could not go to the court.Tian Hongyu is a master who eats by settling with the emperor, and when his daughter died, the line with the emperor was broken.He was unwilling, and spent a lot of money to buy Chen Yuanyuan, who was already very famous at that time, from Jiangnan, and sent him to the palace on the grounds of being lenient to the emperor, trying to reconnect with the emperor.The country is chaotic, Emperor Chongzhen is determined to prosper, how can he think about the affairs of men and women, and this woman is too beautiful and disturbs the emperor's heart, and sent him out of the palace.spent a lot of money to buy Chen Yuanyuan, but Chongzhen didn't want it, wouldn't this money be spent in vain Tian Hongyu was distressed.He can't be the wrongdoer, he has to sell Chen Yuanyuan's ideas again.He is a person who is good at stammering, and there are naturally many powerful and wealthy people who have made friends in Beijing, so he pulls the magnates who can make a starting price to his mansion every day to promote Chen Yuanyuan.Among these powerful people is Wu Sangui.As far as Chen Yuanyuan is concerned, instead of letting Tian Hongyu sell her to a rich bad old man, it is better to be with the young and merry Wu Sangui.At that time, Wu Sangui had a heavy army in his hands and became a powerful and powerful posture for the country.Chen Yuanyuan gave Tian Hongyu the idea that instead of selling her for a good price, it was better to use her to make friends with the powerful people of the dynasty in order to plan for the future.Tian Hongyu also felt that Chen Yuanyuan had a good idea, so he invited Wu Sangui to come to the house and gave Chen Yuanyuan to him free of charge.On that day, Wu Sangui saw Chen Yuanyuan at the first glance in Tian Hongyu's mansion and was shocked.After several contacts, Chen Yuanyuan deliberately greeted him, which made him inseparable, and immediately took the woman back to his home.Wu Sangui raised Chen Yuanyuan at home in Beijing, and every time he returned from the border pass, he would stay with this woman all day long, and he couldn't bear to be separated for a moment, which shows that he loves Chen Yuanyuan very much.Wu Xiang thought at this moment that if Liu Zongmin followed him to the mansion to search for silver and found Chen Yuanyuan, he would dare to do anything, and he would definitely rob Chen Yuanyuan.In this way, if his son Wu Sangui knew, he would definitely be angry, and even desperately come to compete with Liu Zongmin for Chen Yuanyuan.Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, how would his son guess that Chen Yuanyuan is much more important than his father in the eyes of his son, and it must be a catastrophe at that time Wu Xiang was in a hurry, and said pitifully at the moment: "Xiao'er guards the border pass, and the previous dynasty has been in arrears of military salaries for many years."
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had no choice but to temporarily replenish his military salary with his family wealth.Therefore, there is indeed no surplus wealth in the next family, and it is not a deliberate attempt to deceive the general.If the general is not suspicious, when he was in the army in the past, he collected a treasure knife, which was seen by experts in the past, and said that it was worth 100,000 yuan.In the next to offset the donation of silver, I don't know if it is possible "Wu Xiang used a knife when he was a general at the border pass, and he had a soft spot for knives."
When I got the treasure knife, I couldn't put it down, and I played with it day and night.Seeing the catastrophe coming today, I really had no choice but to take out my beloved thing.I only asked Liu Zongmin to know this knife, and after taking it, I no longer had the idea of copying his house.Liu Zongmin is also a military general who uses knives, and he is a blacksmith, so he is very good at studying knives and loves them even more.I heard that Wu Xiang had a treasure knife in his possession, so he followed Wu Xiang to his house to see the knife.When he came to the door of Wu's mansion, Wu Xiang was about to call the door, but the door opened by itself.Two maids in front, and a woman dressed in plain clothes in the back, about to go out.The Jiangnan Wu language spoken by the three of them sounded soft and soft, like the song of a warbler and the song of a bird, and it was unspeakably comfortable and useful.The plain woman is tall, not fat or thin, with exquisite curves, and she walks with three shakes in one step, which is charming.Looking at the face again, the skin is better than snow, and the lips are red and the teeth are white.High nose bridge, big eyes, eyebrows like willow leaves, obliquely inserted into the sideburns, full of black hair dotted with gold and jade jewelry, a stunning beauty The woman came to the door, and saw Wu Xiang and a tall and stout black-faced gold-armored general standing at the foot of the doorway, and the street was full of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers, and she couldn't help but be stunned on the ground.I was really afraid of something, Wu Xiang secretly complained in his heart, annoyed, and said to the woman: "Why don't you go back when you come out" The woman hurriedly took the two maids and ran back to the house.Liu Zongmin's eyes were straight, and he stood on the ground until the woman's figure disappeared, unable to move.Wu Xiang shouted at him a few times, Fang came back to his senses, and asked: "Who is this girl, your daughter" Wu Xiang knew that he wanted something bad, but he didn't dare not answer, and said: "This little uncle's concubine is also."
After a sentence, he hurriedly said, "Please enter the mansion and take a knife to watch with the general." ”Trying to distract Liu Zongmin.Liu Zongmin didn't mean to move the place, and muttered for a long time: "A concubine is similar to a maid."
Then he said to Wu Xiang, "I don't want the knife, you send that girl to the house for me, and we will clear it up." ”:
