Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 43 years

October, Liangxiang

"Eunuch Su, Eunuch Zhang," Xu'er heard the sound of horseshoes, and ran all the way from the backyard to the front.

"What happened?" Su Wei stood under the main room, pinching his cuffs to splash the rain on his body.

"It's brother Honghui," Xu'er pulled the handle of the umbrella to block the rain that was blowing in obliquely, "today my brother caught the cold because of playing, but just now he got hot. The little master said, wait for you to come back and ask Tell me, do you want to inform Lord Belle?"

"Fever?" Su Wei's face tightened, "Have you asked Dr. Ding to see it, is it serious?"

"Doctor Ding took the medicine, he said he was eating and watching," Xu'er hid in the corridor.

Su Wei frowned, threw down the cloth towel and walked out, "I'll go over and have a look, if it's serious, we have to go back to Beijing as soon as possible."

In the main room in the backyard, Hong Hui was sitting on the bed surrounded by a quilt, and Yi Erha pinched his nose and poured the soup.Mo Yaqi stood by the stove with a worried expression on her face, covering Mrs. Tang, while Geng, Niu Hulu, and Shiyue sat beside her and looked after her.

Su Wei took a look with his head, turned around and said to Ding Qi, who was decocting medicine at the door, "Doctor Ding, how is brother's illness? Is it serious?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Su," Ding Qi said, twirling his beard, "My elder brother suffers from damp cold, and is most afraid of rashes. But now I have used the old man's medicine, as long as I take a good rest in the house and let the moisture out. gone."

"That's good, that's good," Su Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the water droplets on his head.

"Eunuch Su," Niu Hulu came out of the house, "When will Lord Belle come back?"

"Tomorrow will be almost the same," Su Wei bent over, "Tonight, you two Gege will have to ask a few little masters to take care of you. Brother Honghui's slaves are here to watch over you."

"Where is this?" Niu Hulu smiled, "Honghui is sick, and we are not at ease. How can we let you work hard alone."

"Grandpa Su!" In the room, Honghui broke free from Yilha's restraint and shouted loudly, "Come in quickly and drive my second sister out!"

"Stinky boy, why are you talking to your sister? Quickly drink up the medicine!" Yilha pinched Honghui's neck with one hand, and filled the bowl with the other hand.

"I drank it all, there's only a little medicine residue left!" Hong Hui yelled back not to be outdone while hiding in the bed.

"You have to drink up the dregs too! The medicinal properties are all in the dregs!" Yilha's voice was louder, with a bit of reluctance.

"Oh, okay, okay," Mo Yaqi smoothed things over, and surrounded Honghui with the quilt again, "Stay well, don't move around, what should you do when the wind catches you again?"

Shiyue added some water to Yi Erha's bowl with a smile, and gave it to the angry Hong Hui and said, "Er Gege also loves our elder brother, you see, if water is added to this bowl, the medicine will not be bitter. Ah Brother can bend a bow and shoot arrows, so drinking medicine is naturally easy, right?"

Honghui pursed his mouth, turned his head and gave Yilha a look, picked up the bowl and gulped it down.

Into the night

Hong Hui drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep.Su Wei persuaded the two princesses and the young masters to leave, and stayed in brother's bedroom with Zhang in person.

At the beginning of the third watch, Su Wei opened his eyes in the darkness, and a horseshoe neighed like a sharp knife, completely breaking the tranquility of the night.

Zhang Bao stood up and opened the door. It was still raining outside, and Ku Kui, who was on duty in the front yard, had already rushed to the backyard.At the same time, Su Wei clearly heard the chaotic but orderly footsteps surrounding the compound amidst the pattering rain.

"We are surrounded," Kukui ran to the door, his face pale, "I don't know who the other party is, it seems to have been hidden in the village early in the morning."

Zhang Bao and Su Wei looked at each other, Su Wei looked back at Hong Hui who was sleeping on the bed, and asked in a deep voice, "How many guards do we have?"

"24," Kukui swallowed, "the opponent should be three times more than us."

Outside the gate of the courtyard, He Zhou got off his horse and said to the black-clothed leader beside him, "Master Cao, don't worry, there are only twenty guards in this courtyard, and the rest are old and young women and children. You can just order the door to hit the door."

Cao Zhuo glanced at He Zhou, but did not answer. He was originally a retainer of Ling Pu, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and he was serving as a servant of the House of Internal Affairs with his master.Ling Pu has an eye for money, but he is blinded by profit, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is even more unscrupulous.This time, the emperor issued an order to build mansions for the princes. Ling Pu took advantage of Long Kedo's demotion to embezzle wantonly, and did not hesitate to make false accounts to hide the truth.But he didn't want to be caught by Sibeile.

Right now, Sibeile has found out the inside story of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' embezzlement of the prince's construction of ICBC, and he has personally come to Liangxiang to investigate. Ling Pu is very anxious, and after some instigation from the people around him, he intends to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot and murder the emperor's heir.Cao Zhuo was forced to participate in it, and it can be said that he was in a state of distress. When he was in a dilemma, he was secretly wooed by Nalan Kuixu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry.

Today, Sibeile people are in Liangxiang County, and only Sibeile's family members are in this compound.Ling Pu made a raft for someone else for nothing, but he didn't know it. When Sibeile caught evidence of his corruption, all the ghosts in this yard would be held on his head.After Ling Pu's death, the crown prince's position may be in jeopardy.

Such a precise layout made Cao Zhuo feel terrified every time he thought about it.I thought it was a conspiracy between King Zhijun and Nalan's family, but I didn't want to see He Zhou on the day of departure.Cao Zhuo didn't understand, whether the king of Zhijun kept all the secrets, or had other arrangements.If He Zhou's actions were exposed, wouldn't King Zhijun also be implicated?

"Lord Cao?" He Zhou called out again, interrupting Cao Zhuo's contemplation, "Let's do it quickly, I'm afraid the night will be full of dreams if it's too late."

Cao Zhuo pursed his lips, looked at the closed courtyard door, raised his hand, and waved it lightly.

The missions were performed by the guards of Ling Pu's mansion, and some were dispatched from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All the weapons in their hands were made by the Armed Forces Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Made logo.

Cao Zhuo really didn't know whether to blame Ling Pu for being too stupid, or to praise Nalan Kuixu for being too good at judging people.Once someone investigates this matter, it is almost effortless.

The courtyard door was quickly knocked open, knives and arrows collided, and voices rang out.

In the backyard room, Shiyue hugged Honghui who was still in a daze, and the two little princesses shivered behind Niu Hulu and Geng.

"Master, I drove the carriage over, but I can't get out the back door," Xiao Yingzi hurried into the doorway.

"I see, we're going according to plan," Su Wei stared out the window, the shaking torch had already circled the porch.

"No," Zhang Bao pressed Su Wei's shoulder, "We'll change this matter, you protect the masters."

"How can I protect it?" Su Wei shook off Zhang Bao's hand, "You have skills, and it's only useful if you stay with the masters. Besides, Kukui will follow me, and I'll be fine."

"Su Peisheng," Shiyue's complexion was pale, her arms around Honghui were already clenched purple.

Su Wei looked back at Shiyue, and slightly bent his lips, "Don't worry, take care of the little masters."

"Hurry up, there is no one in the front yard, surround the houses in the backyard!" There was a loud noise, the windows of the main room were lit red by the burning torches, and the light rain that was still falling made the flames flickering and extinguishing, and the shadows on the window sills were like It's an evil ghost with teeth and claws.

"People in the house, hurry up and come out," He Zhou blocked Cao Zhuo who was about to open his mouth, and shouted loudly, "If you don't come out, we will set the fire on!"

There was silence in the room, and even the candles were gradually extinguished, as if no one had ever existed.

He Zhou and Cao Zhuo looked at each other, ordered a group of guards to come to the door, and when they were about to kick the door, the door creaked open.

The room was dark and nothing could be seen. He Zhou frowned, threw off the hem of his robe, and walked towards the steps. He didn't want to be dazzled by a big lantern that suddenly lit up after walking a few steps.

"Eunuch He," Cao Zhuo just wanted to step forward, but saw He Zhou, whose back was turned to him, raised his hand.

"Eunuch He," there was a smile in the room, and a figure slowly walked to the threshold following the lantern held by the person beside him, "We are really destined."

"Eunuch Su," He Zhou forced a smile, standing under the steps and not daring to move

Cao Zhuo's complexion also changed when he saw the figure talking in the room. Although this man was also dressed as an eunuch, his figure was much taller and taller than ordinary father-in-law. He seemed young, but his expression was unusually calm.The most important thing was that this man had a bolted musket pointed at He Zhou's head.

"Eunuch Su, you are a smart person. Given the current situation, why do you have to resist?" He Zhou swallowed, and managed to calm himself down.

"Eunuch He really knows how to joke." Su Wei kept his hands steady, and one finger had already pulled the trigger, "This knife has already reached the neck, our family will not be stubborn, so it is difficult to wait for death? "

"What's the point of Mr. Su?" He Zhou pursed his lips and forced a smile. Just as his feet were about to move back, Su Wei aimed his gun at him, "Try moving again!"

He Zhou froze in place, cold sweat flowing down his neck with the rain, and the other guards beside him didn't dare to move.After all, they are not real soldiers and have no chance to touch firearms. What's more, in this dynasty, muskets and artillery are particularly terrifying and mysterious existences for most people.

Su Wei's face was gloomy, his voice was cold, Kukui was holding up a lantern, and he was always paying attention to the movement around him, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you," Su Wei began to force his fingers, "Drive me two carriages, everyone Exit the courtyard, whoever dares to make a mess, I will kill him immediately."

"Su Peisheng!" He Zhou raised his voice, "If you kill me, you won't live!"

"Really?" Su Wei raised the corner of his mouth, "Do you want to try? However, you won't be able to see whether I will die or not. Eunuch He, you said that the power of our musket is better than that of eight years ago. How was everything in the school martial arts field when you were conscripted into Galdan with your master?"

He Zhou bit his lips tightly, and his body began to tremble slightly. Su Wei's voice was chuckling, but he had already stepped over the threshold. The guards on both sides retreated one after another, and Ku Kui followed, "At the beginning, all the princes were present "Su Wei walked up to He Zhou step by step, pointing the cold muzzle straight at He Zhou's head, "Only one of our family's three shots hit the target, and there is no master watching today," Su Wei approached Next to He Zhou's ear, "How many times do you think I can shoot through your head?"

He Zhou's face turned cold, and his legs moved slightly, but Ku Kui, who was next to him, immediately punched He Zhou tightly by his elbows.

"Don't move!" Su Wei turned around and aimed his gun at Cao Zhuo, "Do as I say, otherwise, you will die with him today!"

Cao Zhuo looked at He Zhou. He Zhou's face was livid by Kukui, "Do as he..." He Zhou shouted hoarsely at Cao Zhuo.

Cao Zhuo pursed his lips, slowly raised his hand, and waved it back.

The carriage was driven into the courtyard, and a few guards who were still able to move stood on both sides, confronting Cao Zhuo's men with knives.Several female relatives in cloaks hurried out of the room, and Su Wei helped them into the carriage one by one.

"Eunuch He, I have to trouble you to walk with us for a while," Su Wei waved his head, signaling Ku Kui to carry He Zhou into the car.The two of them set up a car, protected by the few remaining guards, and left the compound.

"My lord, what should we do?" the subordinates approached behind Cao Zhuo and asked.

"What else can we do? Keep up!" Cao Zhuo got on his horse, "Our task is to kill the owner of this yard, and Eunuch He is the same. If it comes to a critical moment, if he is sacrificed, the master will not blame him."

Su Wei and Ku Kui's carriage didn't go far, and the sound of horseshoes came from behind. Su Wei smiled coldly at He Zhou, "It seems that you are not worth much, thanks to the fact that you have worked for him for so many years!"

He Zhou snorted, turned his head and looked back, "You can't escape, I advise you to release me as soon as possible, and leave a whole body for yourself!"

"I will let you go," Su Wei's voice was piercingly cold, and he looked at He Zhou as if he were looking at a dead person.

There was a "bang" out of thin air, and the approaching horses raised their hooves one after another, and the leading few were even thrown off their horses.

Cao Zhuo barely held down his mount, looked up, and in the darkness, a powerless black figure slid off the speeding carriage and lay down in the middle of the road.

"Follow me!" Cao Zhuo raised his whip and led his men to chase after him.

Su Wei and Ku Kui galloped on the dirt road with two carriages in front and behind. The guards in the mansion who were following behind had already turned back to contain the pursuers, but this time there was no one who could keep up.

In the carriage behind him, bursts of suppressed cries came. Su Wei bit his lips tightly, trying his best to restrain his distracted mind. He wanted to run. The farther he ran, the safer the people in Zhuangzi would be.
