I'm watching the gate in the jail

"Reduce gunpowder, reduce fire... hey, it doesn't matter."

The fire in her body was so hot that Thirteen Niang felt like she was being pricked by needles, even the friction between her clothes and skin could make her tremble uncontrollably.

Open the cupboard, there is a mess of things inside.

Several porcelain vases are stacked lying or standing among brocade boxes of various sizes, as well as various cloths, jewelry, and cookbooks.

She opened one of the bottles and sniffed what was inside.Feeling bitter and cold, I grabbed it and poured it into my mouth without thinking.

A cold air fell from the throat to the heart, and finally suppressed the anger.

"If you don't succeed in stealing the chicken, you will lose a lot of rice... Shopkeeper Wan, I have yours."

Thirteen Niang gritted her teeth and threw the bottle aside, and slowly stood up straight while supporting her waist.

Although the temperature in her body gradually calmed down, her eyes became more determined.

A man with such an appetite must be obtained...

But what happened to the drug, the wine jars placed in front of Tuojin and Fu Ling'a were all specially added by her, so it should have happened no matter what...

Thirteen Niang scratched her hair in doubt.

"Brother Fuling, with all due respect, the 'thing' you want is difficult to handle."

Wanda said realistically.

Not to mention firearms, in order to prevent the Jurchens from committing crimes, Ma Wensheng even prohibited the sale and purchase of farm tools and even iron daily necessities such as kitchen knives.

He actually imagined that he could get the "ultimate weapon" of this era from Daming.

It's just idiotic dreams.

"How can something that is easy to get be worth buying those big Sui beads?"

Fu Ling'a tapped the table with his finger and made a rhythmic "da da" sound.

"What's more, since it's Wan Shoufu's family, it shouldn't be too difficult to get in touch with the Shenji Camp in Beijing."

Upon hearing this, Wanda glanced in Tuojin's direction.

The latter smiled unnaturally.

Hearing the words "Shenjiying", Yang Xiuxian, Qiu Zijin, and Jin Yiwei behind them all showed surprise.

Several young captains, even the sound of breathing was messed up.

After being noticed by Yang Xiuxian, he immediately winked to tell him to be calm.

Wanda lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

The candles on the table made a "crackling" sound, and the dancing firelight projected on the gray brick wall, making his silhouette cast on it long.

The shadow remained motionless, as if he had stopped breathing.

Just when Tuojin was waiting impatiently, Wanda raised his head slightly and smiled.

"Okay, I promise you."

He whispered, "But I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

If he didn't mention any conditions, Fu Ling would be surprised.

"You have to tell me where you plan to use them."

Wanda raised her chin, her eyes clear.

"I may not necessarily sell these things to you, so that you can turn against me, Da Ming, right? If it is true, not only me, but even Wan Shoufu may be implicated. That person is the support of my whole family. "

Wanda looked at the brocade bag on the table and sneered, "Although Ye Mingzhu is a good thing, compared with the lives of my whole family, it is still close. The crime of 'collaborating with the enemy and treason' is too great. Both my son and I Delicate and weak, he cannot afford to wear a shackle, nor can he go to the guillotine."

After all, he deliberately raised his head and looked in the direction of Wan Lan's room upstairs.

The two Jurchens stood at the door, staring down.

As long as Fu Ling'a gave an order, they would immediately rush in and take Wan Lan's life.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Wan, it's not used to deal with Daming. How can we deal with Daming? Our three guards in Jianzhou are all guards of Daming, guarding the northern border for the Ming Dynasty. We wait for the Jurchen ministries of Jianzhou, I am loyal to you, the Ming Dynasty."

Fu Ling'a was overjoyed when he heard that Wanda had agreed to the deal, and hurriedly explained.

It seems that they have completely forgotten that they also contributed to the establishment of the Jurchen in the Battle of Fengjibao at the beginning of the year, and the credit is not small.

Not to mention the petty battles that have harassed the border that have never stopped for more than a decade.

It's just that the current Daming is too powerful, leaving them nowhere to take advantage of.

Wanda looked at him with big eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain, and there was undisguised suspicion in his eyes.

"Shopkeeper Wan, I might as well tell you some heartfelt words."

Fu Ling'a was eager to make a deal, and finally let down his guard a little bit.

"I want this thing...to help the Tuojin brothers."

Wanda rolled his eyes, looked at Tuojin who was standing beside him with a flattering smile, and asked in feigned surprise, "Why... are you trying to overthrow Ajiga and make Tuojin the leader of the Ula tribe? place?"

"Treasurer Wan is indeed a smart man!"

Fuling nodded.

"That Ajiga is very happy, moody, and often treats his subordinates harshly. The people of the Ula tribe have complained about him for a long time. Look, our brother Tuojin is still his own brother, and he is over forty years old. Wife He didn’t marry any of them. His big brother is too eccentric, no wonder the people below want to overthrow him!”

It's rare that this Fuling'a can use so many idioms.It seems that Tuojin and he practiced a lot in private for today's statement.

But Ajiga is not as unbearable as they say.

From Wanda's point of view, this person is shrewd and tough, with a thick yet delicate, heroic appearance, fully worthy of the title of head of the clan.

But this was a struggle within their Ula tribe, and it was not convenient for him to express his opinion as an outsider, so he just laughed and agreed.

"I'm afraid it's more than that..."

Wanda's tone of questioning slowed down, making herself less eager.

"As far as I know, the Battle of Fengjibao at the end of last year and the massacre of eighteen tribes at the beginning of this year, you two should have contributed a lot, right?"

Or "fishing in troubled waters".

When they finally got to the point of the matter, Yang Xiuxian and Qiu Zijin also held their breaths and pricked up their ears.

"Treasurer Wan...how did you think of asking this?"

Fu Ling'a leaned back, and on the huge face covered with flesh, the eyes that were already uncoordinated narrowed even more.

"I'm a businessman."

Wanda looked at him fearlessly.

"For me, asking for money is the first priority. I also want to distribute war money, but the premise is that the flames of war can't be burned to my door, and my future money will be cut off."

As Wanda said, he patted the table first, and then pointed to his own head.

"If the flames of war rage to Liaoyang and Guangning, what will happen to my business? When the time comes, the soldiers will be in turmoil, will the business continue? Do you think I will be so stupid as to shoot myself in the foot? No matter how good your Ye Mingzhu is, then It’s not a long-term deal either.”

Wanda's eyes glowed, staring at Fu Ling.

Every inch of the muscle on his face was fully mobilized by him, showing [-]% of his acting skills.

"I want a windfall from heaven, I want it, and a long stream of water, I want it too! The one who dares to cut off my fortune... is my father-killing enemy! Brother Fuling, do you want to be my enemy?"

Excellent acting skills, a businessman with dirty blood in his veins and only money in his eyes.

"Ha...hahahaha! Good! Well said, those who dare to cut off our fortune are all killing our fathers and enemies! Of course we are not 'enemies', we are 'partners' who made a fortune together."

Fu Ling'a laughed loudly while applauding.

After the two "like-smelling" people clinked glasses again, Fu Ling'a finally spoke and answered Wanda's long-standing questions.

"Actually... this is a 'misunderstanding'."

After drinking two jars of wine, Fu Ling'a felt a little groggy, subconsciously took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth.

"Sanchiha, the avant-garde commander of Haixi Jurchen Wuzhe, wrote a letter to the emperor of Ming Dynasty..."

The Wuzhe Qianwei is also the Jumi Guard, which was set up in Haixi by the Ming Dynasty to resist the savage Jurchen.

Jurchen are now divided into three major tribes: Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and Savage Jurchen.

Although they are both Jurchens, their customs are very different.

Compared with Jianzhou and Haixi, which had a lot of contacts with the Ming Dynasty.Savage Jurchens are far away in the "Eastern Pole", and have little communication with Ming Dynasty. Compared with the other two big Jurchen tribes, their economy and culture are also far behind.

Now Sanchiha's name is already very popular to Wanda and others.

But he still pretended not to know anything and listened with interest.

"In addition to being a commander, he is also a businessman who has received imperial edicts. He often conducts transactions in various horse markets in Liaodong."

Just like Ajiga is the patriarch, the merchants who hold the imperial edict of Ming Dynasty usually have an official position.

"He was blackmailed too much by a commander named Guan in Kaiyuan, and he really couldn't satisfy the other party's appetite. Then he wanted to complain to your emperor. What a fool, how could he do business like this... In the end, your emperor , sent Liaodong Governor Chen Yue to investigate the matter."

"Brother Wan, did you meet Mr. Chen when you were in Liaoyang? It is said that he is very good at being a man, and he will definitely win over someone who has connections in the capital like Brother Wan."

Wanda didn't expect the old boy to test him at this time, so he smiled and replied calmly: "I really want to follow Mr. Chen's lead. Unfortunately, he only has Wang Zhi, the owner of the West Factory, in his eyes. Posting posts at the door, Mr. Chen either went hunting with Eunuch Wang, or accompanied him to inspect the camp."

As he spoke, he brushed off the dust on the hem of his clothes, and sighed pretentiously.

"Hey...people don't like me..."

"Brother Wan, don't worry about it. I heard that Wang Zhi has already set off for Beijing, and Mr. Chen sent him off. He will return to Liaoyang soon. At that time, you still have a chance to meet him."

Fu Ling'a made no secret of the fact that he knew Wang Zhi's whereabouts.

"How do you say it? Could it be that Brother Fuling, can you help me connect and talk to Mr. Chen?"

A ray of light flashed across Wanda's eyes, he picked up the wine jar, touched the wine jar in front of Fu Ling'a, "Come on, brother, let's talk while drinking..."

Fu Ling'a picked up the wine jar, and drank another jar without saying a word.

When he put down the wine jar, he finally felt dizzy, and the eyes he looked at Wanda began to flutter.

At this time, Thirteen Niang quickly walked down the stairs from the back kitchen with a panicked expression.

Seeing that the conversation here happened to be at a critical moment, she didn't dare to interrupt.He only pouted his mouth at Yang Xiuxian twice in a low voice, and made a "tsk tsk" sound in his mouth.

Yang Xiuxian heard the voice, looked back, then stood up calmly, and walked towards her.

"what happened?"

The two walked to a small warehouse behind the kitchen, and Yang Xiuxian asked in a low voice, "Why hasn't your medicine worked yet?"

"We have internal thieves."

Thirteen Niang took out a porcelain jar.

"All my drugs have been swapped. What was put in their wine jar just now was not drugs, and I don't know what it is."

Just now, when Thirteen Niang was rummaging for gunpowder on it, she found that her porcelain bottle had been tampered with.

Although these bottles and jars seem to be placed in a chaotic manner, just like she piled up on the chair and the clothes and accessories on the hanger are in a mess.But only Thirteen Niangs knew that this was "order in chaos".

After she calmed down from the heat at the beginning, she soon found that her room had been flipped.

Not only the drug was dropped, but even the poison that could hurt people's life was tampered with.

There is a ghost in the inn.

The worst possibility——Tuojin, or Fu Ling'a bought her buddy!

Hearing this, Yang Xiuxian looked at Fu Ling'a with blurred eyes outside from the crack of the warehouse door, and thought that the two of them are really better at acting than the other.

"What should I do? Do you really want to fight? Can the people you bring beat those Jurchens?"

Thirteen Niang knew that this matter was messed up for her.

Out of trust, her adoptive father asked her Huilong Inn to stop this incident.

This time, it was her laxness that made such a mistake.

"I won't, become Daming's sinner through the ages... woo woo..."

The commander of Jin Yiwei, the emperor's brother-in-law is going to be on his own territory-Thirteen Niang couldn't help crying at the thought of this.

"Things haven't gotten this bad yet."

Yang Xiuxian supported her shoulders with both hands, forcing her to raise her head.

"Listen, the most important thing for you now is to find the 'insider ghost'. Didn't you say that he took the poison? Even if he didn't poison him, if there was a real fight, he would kill him from behind. What about stabbing us? Right?"

Thirteen Niang nodded in a daze, and sniffed.

"Before you do it, Thirteen Knives, your task is to find that person."

Yang Xiuxian wiped away the tears falling on her cheeks with his thumb, and asked in a low voice, "Good girl, you can do it, right?"

Whether it is calling her "Thirteen Swords" or showing trust in her, these are all the imperial techniques that Yang Xiuxian has used for many years.

Thirteen Niang has "growth wildly" in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, how can she stand this.

Once the "brainwashing technique" was completed, she obediently walked out of the warehouse as if she had drunk ecstasy, focusing on catching the "inner ghost".

"Brother Yang..."

Thirteen Niang walked to the door of the warehouse, leaned on the door rail with one hand, and looked back at him.

A pair of beautiful eyes are full of water, and a normal man will feel weak when he sees them.

"Although you are very nice...but I only have Master Wan in my heart!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiuxian, who was full of black lines, left behind in small steps.

"Hey……"

Yang Xiuxian rested his forehead with one hand and let out a long sigh.

He leaned against the door, looking at the two people in the hall outside who were competing with each other in acting, with a serious expression on his face.

Thirteen Niang sneaked into the kitchen without a sound, and saw her buddy Dalma was putting something into the half-simmered fish soup with his back turned to her.

It's really effortless...

Thirteen Niang narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and closed the kitchen door behind her backhand.

"Ahem...Dalma, what are you doing?"

Thirteen Niang twisted her waist and walked over.

"Boss, are you here?"

Dalma's shoulders stiffened, and then he quickly stuffed a package of things into his bosom, and turned his head tremblingly, "I'm cooking fish soup."

Dalma is a Tatar. He came to Thirteen Niang's inn three years ago. He is only 17 years old this year, and he is still half a child.

He has learned the craft from Thirteen Niang for more than two years, and he is quite savvy.If he wasn't a man, Thirteen Niang would have sworn to be Jinlan sisters with him.

I didn't expect this kid to betray me...

Thirteen Niang pushed him away and stood by the stove by herself.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Watching Thirteen Niang pick up the long iron spoon placed by the side of the pot and scoop a spoonful of stewed milky white fish soup from the pot, Dalma asked in horror.

"What's all the fuss about? Of course it's a taste of saltiness. I'm not at ease if you're unreliable."

Thirteen Niang said, and put the spoon to her mouth.

"Boss lady!"

Darma yelled loudly.

"I... I tasted it. I tasted it just now, and the saltiness is just right."

The boy from Dalma was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he waved at Thirteen Niang repeatedly.

"Bah... dog!"

Thirteen Niang sneered, dropped the big iron spoon, and slapped Dalma in the face.

"I'm so sorry for you, you actually want to kill me? You forgot who took you in during the snowy day? You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, how dare you put me together!"

As she said that, she grabbed his collar and said viciously, "You want to poison me to death? Don't you!"

"I, how could I poison the lady boss to death. No, nothing."

Dalma knelt down on her knees and shook her head, "The proprietress is my benefactor, my fairy, how could I harm you."

"What did you put in the pot just now? Why did you change the drug I asked you to give Tuojin and the others? I thought you were my confidant, so I entrusted you with such an important matter. You actually betrayed me! And said I am your 'benefactor'? Is this how you treat your 'benefactor'?"

Thirteen Niang was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked him hard on the shoulder.

"You...you know..."

Dalma looked desperate.

"Say, why? Who told you to do this?"

Thirteen Niang pulled out a kitchen knife from behind and pressed it against his neck.

Dalma looked at her flushed cheeks because of anger, and those eyes full of anger and vitality made the 17-year-old boy fascinated.

"No one instructed me...I, I hate that treasurer Wan."

Dalma gritted his teeth and said, "I want him to die...he is surrounded by masters, I can't get close to him, I can only use those people like Tuojin."

"You, what are you talking about? You want to kill Shopkeeper Wan? They haven't spoken to you, and they don't even know who you are. Why are you killing people?"

Thirteen Niangs were stunned.

What is this kid thinking in his head?

"Because, because of the lady boss, you have taken a fancy to him!"

Dalma choked up as she spoke, "You want to give birth to him and be his woman. You and him are not clear... Woohoo, I can't stand it."

"I said, are you out of your mind? There are too many men I don't know well. I haven't seen you mess with anyone before. Besides, who is my mother with is none of your business!"

Thirteen Niang stretched out her right hand and pinched him hard.

"Because I like the proprietress!"

Dalma walked to Thirteen Niang's feet on her knees, stretched out her right hand, and stroked her left heart, "I love you, Thirteen Niang. I have liked you for a long time, since you picked me up on the grassland. From the moment I fell madly in love with you."

"……Grass."

Thirteen Niang couldn't help but whispered a dirty word.

My old lady treats you like a son, you really want to sleep with me?

"I can see that you didn't take them to heart in the past. But you were really moved by that shopkeeper Wan. You want to marry him!"

Dalma said with certainty.

"Fart! You only want to marry him, I just want to sleep with him!"

Chen Shisanniang almost jumped up and cursed.

"Miss Boss, look at me...don't always look at the guests coming and going. They are wild geese, and they only stay on the grassland for a few months every year. When autumn comes, they will fly to the south. Dalma doesn't Yes, I will stay in the inn forever and always, guarding you, proprietress!"

Dalma cried.

"Fart! I need you to guard me? A useless coward who will only use some dirty tricks to harm people. Don't make me sick!"

Thirteen Niang hadn't finished speaking, Dalma only felt a black shadow floating in front of her eyes, and then there was a "kuang" sound in her head, and she fell to the ground.

"After the previous work is done, I will clean you up again!"

Throwing down the huge iron spoon, Thirteen Niang picked up the pig-killing rope in the corner and tied him up.Then he picked up a rag, stuffed it into Dalma's mouth, and threw him into the firewood pile.

After finishing all this, Thirteen Niang turned around, looked at the bubbling fish soup in the pot, and showed a sinister smile.

"Good things can't be wasted..."

"So, this matter is true, and it was suppressed by Chen Yue."

In the hall, the stove was burning vigorously. Wanda looked at Fu Ling'a whose consciousness was "gradually blurring", with a low voice.

"It's not just as simple as suppressing it. Brother Wan, you still overestimate this Master Chen. It's really... tsk tsk tsk for you Daming to send such an official to guard the border."

Fu Ling'a snorted disdainfully.

"He took advantage of Sanchiha with this hand, and said that he would 'justice' him. The other hand took bribes from the commander. What is the name of the Six Departments of your Daming... Oh, the Ministry of War! Yes, Xiang The Ministry of War made a statement. It said that all this is nothing."

"Master Liu? Is that what the word says... I drank too much, and my brain is not working well. Hahaha."

Fu Ling'a said that it seemed true and false.

"Sanchiha is so angry that he threatened to rebel on the spot. The avant-garde commanders are all commanders, and he quit! Hahaha! Not only can he not do business, he can't even be an official. "

Wanda didn't think it was funny at all, so she reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Sanchiha has a nephew who is the governor of Wuzhe's avant-garde, called the production inspector. It happens that at the beginning of the year, he will bring Haixi Jurchen and some Jianzhou Jurchen envoys to Beijing to make offerings."

The main event is coming!

Wanda leaned forward, breathing faster.

At this time, Yang Xiuxian happened to come out from the warehouse.

He walked behind everyone and made a gesture to Wanda that only the two of them could understand.

From Fu Ling'a's talk, it is obvious that Wanda's mind is distracted for a while.

"What's the matter, Brother Wan?"

"No, maybe I'm a little too drunk...It's okay, you can continue."

Wanda smiled, her face still calm.

The hand hidden under the table has already started to reach into the boot.

Thirteen Niangs failed...

It turns out that this grandson is acting for himself...

"It was nothing after that. After Sanchiha wanted his nephew to enter the capital, he directly mentioned this matter to your supervisor. As a result, his worthless nephew was bought by the supervisor and betrayed him. My uncle said that there was no such thing as extortion or bribery at all. Good nephew, really good nephew. Unfortunately, your Lord Chen feels guilty, thinking that he can even betray his uncle, and it will not be easy to confess him in the future... "

"So, there was the massacre of [-] tribes with tribute envoys to the capital? Chen Yue simply massacred the envoys and their tribes because he was afraid that his bribery would be thrown out by unreliable production inspectors. exhausted?"

Wanda asked with a trembling voice.

"Smart people really know everything."

Fuling laughed.

"Isn't there any credit for Brother Fuling and Brother Tuojin in this?"

"Haha, who told those tribal leaders that some of them had good friends with Ajiga, and some of them had robbed me of money? Boss Wan, have you forgotten what you said yourself—we are the ones who stand in the way of our fortune?" Kill father and enemy'!"

He said without guilt.

Even among the eighteen tribes, there are also his Jianzhou Jurchen clansmen.

"What about Sanchiha himself?"

Wanda pulled the dagger out of his boot little by little, and hid it in his sleeve with his backhand.

"This idiot was so angry that he wanted to knock on the pass immediately to seek justice for himself and his dead nephew. As a result, Chen Yue gave him the benefit of three melons and two dates, and asked him to go to Guangning to answer. He really brought a dozen I went alone—and then, I was teased by Chen Yue. When he arrived in Fushun, he was not allowed to enter the customs at all, let alone go to Guangning, haha...it’s ridiculous."

Fuling'a clapped her palms and laughed, "Sanchiha became angry from embarrassment, this would really make her mad..."

"Then he asked you Jianzhou Jurchen for help, and you just wanted to take advantage of this brave and foolhardy man, because of the shame of the defeat ten years ago... two armies of Haixi and Jianzhou Jurchen were assembled , raided Fengji Fort in the New Year, didn’t they!”

Wanda is angry.

This Chen Yue is so powerful that the battle report can be written backwards.

Obviously he killed the envoy by mistake, and slaughtered eighteen tribes first.Sanchiha was caught in the Jianzhou Jurchen's plan to divorce, and led people to Fengji Fort to be attacked.

But in his writing, Fengji Fort was attacked, and he led his troops to fight bravely.After that, he led troops to counterattack and wiped out more than 50 Jurchen tribes.

Chen Yue's pen, it is really "debt of blood", countless human lives are not counted - he even wants to provoke a bigger war to cover up his incompetence and greed!

"Treasurer Wan, you really know it well... You still say you are not an 'officer'! A businessman, why care so much about the frontier war!"

On this side, when Fu Ling'a, who was originally "drunk-eyed", heard Wanda's words, his squinted eyes suddenly widened, and his big palm-like hands struck Wanda's chest.

Wanda took out the dagger and slashed across his palm with his backhand.

Fu Ling'a yelled in pain, and took a step back.

"Your grandfather, I am not an 'official'."

Wanda looked at the blood dripping down on the dagger, and smiled, "Your grandfather, I——is Jin Yiwei Beizhen Fusi, Wanda known as 'Living Yan Luo', Commander Wan!"

"Come on!"

"Suffer to death!"

The two groups of people who had been ready to attack for a long time took out all the swords placed under the table, roaring and slashing at the people on the opposite table.

The author has something to say: The inspiration for this story comes from "Fu'an Dongyi Ji" written by Ma Wensheng, a general of the Ming Dynasty.Reinterpreted by me.
