Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

It was the end of the year again. Qizhou City was both prosperous and bleak. The prosperous ones were the restaurants and brothels in various places. There were music and dancing every night. The homes of the gentry and nobles were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Music and music played day and night. The New Year's goods prepared this year were lined up from the city gate to the riverside dock. The actors who poured into the city spoke with a southern accent and were full of fear. They carefully avoided the soldiers of the Shenjia Camp who were patrolling back and forth in the city. The southerners had never seen such fierce soldiers. However, the bleakness also had its own source. The grass, leaves and flowers in the garden had withered in winter and were all bitten to pieces by the victims. There was another kind of bleak end-of-the-world image. One chapter of prosperity and another chapter of the end-of-the-world misery were mixed together.

Pu Zhen's mood was just like the world, happy and painful. He quietly watched the servants guarding the garden swearing, and he dared not speak in anger to the soldiers of the Shenjia Camp standing guard at the door. He thought, this is what it means when a scholar meets a soldier. But after these soldiers broke into the yard three days ago, they forced more than 60 disaster victims into the yard, which diluted the color of the green hat on his head. These days, the uncle has not come frequently, and he dare not sit for long every time. Pu Zhen can't help laughing every time he recalls his frustration and annoyance when he sees Chi Yinping acting like a spoiled child but can't eat.

"Miss Chi, humph, that bitch looks down on me, right? I'm not a vegetarian either." As the saying goes, even clay people have three points of personality. Pu Zhen dare not disobey the uncle in person, but it is inevitable to do some small actions behind his back. In the past three days, he has been struggling to find a solution, and finally received good news today.

Wang Pu really took in Chi Yinping's maid Xiaolan. He spent a sum of money to find out that there was a maid named Xiaolan in the general's camp, and she was very close to Wang Pu, serving tea and water. The rumors were very bad for Wang Pu, but Wang Pu didn't seem to care. Yes, he had soldiers in his hands now, and he was forcibly stuffing disaster victims into the homes of wealthy families in the city, not sparing anyone. What rumors did he fear?

This man must have intentions towards his wife. Well, let's let the two of you fight each other. Pu Zhen thought fiercely.

Just as he was thinking about how to induce Wang Pu and his uncle to fight each other, he would be the fisherman who benefited. Suddenly, he heard a commotion at the door. He hurried out to see that it was a notice poster. He separated the crowd and saw that the notice said that the matter of relocating disaster victims to the grassland colonization could be sent by signing a contract. The salary seemed not high, just enough to make a living. The signature was Inner Mongolia Colonization Company.

Some disaster victims asked questions, and the poster answered them one by one. It was nothing more than providing food and accommodation, guaranteeing their survival, and the words were particularly tempting. Everyone was starving to death, and they had nothing else to ask for as long as they could survive. Moreover, they heard that the major shareholder of this Inner Mongolia company was the benefactor of Datong General Wang Pu, who arranged accommodation for them and saved them from freezing to death on the road in winter nights. They cheered even more, thinking that they had really met a good official and a loyal minister.

Pu Zhen felt inexplicably sad, thinking: You are a great hero, why are you still trying to steal my wife. Who did I offend? No, the most hateful one is the bastard uncle. After all, Wang Pu just wanted to, but he still had the face to not take action. He unconsciously leaned towards Wang Pu in his heart, thinking whether he could use Wang Pu's hand to kill his uncle, so that he could continue to have a foothold in the family.

But after this notice was posted, the victims spread the word by word of mouth, and everyone was enthusiastic. I think in a few days, the victims in the yard will be gone, and then the uncle can come here to fuck his wife all day and make him a cuckold.

I think I can't hesitate any longer. Pu Zhen gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He was really not a ruthless person. He was exhausted and fainted. His feet were light and he staggered and fell. His head hit the corner of the wall and was about to break.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the young man suddenly fell to the ground, there was an uproar around him, and some smart people went up to help him.

Pu Zhen's face was pale, and he was carried into the yard by everyone. At the second entrance deep in the yard, the servants of the Pu family guarded the door and did not allow the victims to get close. When they saw everyone carrying Master Pu Zhen over, the servants panicked. Some of them were worried that this was the trick of the eldest master, and that the eldest master secretly bribed the victims to kill the young master so that he could have an affair with ease. They did not dare to ruin the eldest master's good deeds. So they all watched silently, neither willing to open the door nor come out to take the young master away.

The victims were all honest people, who had no idea of ​​the various disputes in the rich families, so they started to shout and scream. Fortunately, Pu Zhen's inner house was not deep. Chi Yinping heard the noise in the inner room and heard that her husband was injured, so she hurried out and saw the servants shut the door tightly. She climbed up the wall from behind the door to watch the show with a ladder. Her face was more energetic. She was immediately shocked. Could it be that the uncle wanted to kill her husband in order to get her? She hurriedly said angrily: "Open the door, open the door."

Everyone dared not disobey the lady's words. These people knew who was the real master and who was the fake master in the mansion. The young lady was the eldest master's favorite, and if she offended her, she would definitely suffer. So she decisively got down the ladder, unbolted the door, and opened the door.

When Chi Yinping came out of the inner house, she gasped. Her beauty was like a sharp weapon that penetrated people's hearts. How could the poor victims who usually watched actors and actresses be intoxicated by it resist it? But Chi Yinping didn't care about the greedy eyes of the crowd, and hurried to her husband to push him.

Pu Zhen was actually fine, but he was frightened for days and was weak. But when he saw his wife, his face suddenly turned cold and he said, "Please worry about me, I won't die." He pulled Chi Yinping's hand away.

Chi Yinping felt a little relieved when she saw that her husband still had the strength to pull her hand away. There were people around, so she didn't dare to stay. She turned around and walked back to the inner house, while telling the servants to ask for a doctor.

The victims were not stupid. Judging from the situation, the young master was probably bullied at home. The water was too deep, and they, as outsiders, dared not act rashly. They let the servants of the Pu family come out and drag Pu Zhen into the inner house like a dead dog, leaving them staring at each other in bewilderment.

"This woman is so beautiful. If I can sleep with her once, it's worth dying for." A thin man among the victims couldn't help but sigh.

"Chen Qingpu, don't think about it. There are soldiers from the Divine Armor Camp all around., you have to choose the right time to cause trouble." A black-chested man beside him said angrily.

"Brother Wang Peng, you know that this is probably the lover of General Wang. If we snatch her and give her to General Wang, won't we get a reward?" Chen Qingpu said with a smile.

"It's a reward only if you can get a reward. This matter is not that simple. Otherwise, General Wang would have taken action long ago. There must be some taboos. We don't want to offend others at that time and then go to ask for a reward. We won't know how we died." Wang Peng shook his head unhappily.

"If you are afraid of this and that, it's better to die. "Chen Qingpu complained for a while, then found a piece of land and slept soundly.

At noon, the warm sun made his head hurt, and Chen Qingpu finally woke up. He got up and saw that most of the people around him were gone. They must have gone to the Inner Mongolia Colonization Company. But Chen Qingpu sneered at this. The government was a cannibal. Even if Wang Pu was a good man, his subordinates were not vague. How many good people could there be in the world? If there were no bad people, How could the world be in chaos and the people be miserable? These pigs believed a few words of nonsense and went to their land. They will probably be slaves and servants for the rest of their lives, tilling the land until they die. Living like an animal, it is better to die.

In a trance, he saw the young man who fainted in the morning sneaking around the pond. He became suspicious, pushed Wang Peng beside him, gestured to him to keep quiet, and got up and quietly followed him. Go.

Both of them were desperate criminals who had seen the raging fire in the chaotic world. They were able to maintain a strong body in the chaotic world because of their tacit understanding and ruthlessness. Wang Peng was pushed awake but did not say a word. He got up and followed behind without saying a word.

Pu Zhen did not know that there were two thugs following him. He went to the store first, took out a few coins, and then went to a nearby pawnshop to look around. The victims entered the city, and the pawnshop in the city was very prosperous. The corridors were crowded with all kinds of people inserting grass sticks, both men and women, but the women in this area were ugly, and the big and strong ones did manual labor.

Pu Zhen looked embarrassed, walking among the crowd, picking and choosing but not pulling out the grass sticks. Wang Peng and Chen Qingpu knew that there was work to do. They hurriedly caught up with him, pretending to meet Pu Zhen by chance, and greeted him, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Pu? We saw you were unwell this morning, and you are fine now. ”

Pu Zhen was selecting people, and was startled when he heard a familiar call from behind. He turned around and saw two unfamiliar poor guys with unhappy faces. However, he was very cautious in dealing with people. Seeing that these two people had some impression, he looked at them. It was really to his liking. Except that they were too dark and strong, they were very impressive. So he said, "Are you going to take some free work?"

"Hey, master, you said that no matter how difficult the work is, we will take it."

"It's not difficult, but I want you to be loyal. When it's time to rush up and beat people, don't be afraid." Pu Zhen said solemnly. Several of his hangers-on were killed by his uncle, and now even the little fire-headed maid dared to give him a cold face. So he had to find a few reliable and capable people.The strong hangers-on came to support the scene.

"Oh, hehe." Wang Peng laughed. This was when he wanted to drink milk. Here comes his mother. Being a hanger-on for a rich man, with little work and a lot of money, only a fool would not agree. But just as he was about to talk a lot and curse and swear to be loyal, the men around him couldn't stand it anymore and started to make a fuss.

"Where did this come from? Where did this come from? Shopkeeper, someone broke the rules."

"You two are looking for a fight for stealing business."

"They have never seen it before, where did it come from?"

A big-bellied man jumped out of the crowd and cursed: "Oh, where did these two dogs come from? Do you know the rules? You two are from other places, beggars, one hand each, leave it to me."

Wang Peng and Chen Qingpu looked at each other, and Wang Peng smiled at Pu Zhen: "Master, you go first, don't hurt you. Please watch, we two have practiced on Xugong Mountain, we won't embarrass you."

Pu Zhen hurriedly ran out, and the sound of fighting rang out behind him, screaming loudly, his heart pounding, and he didn't dare to look back. He walked straight to the street, and the pedestrians on the street also heard the noise of the fight inside and came to watch.

When the soldiers of the Shenjia Camp came following the sound, the place was already in a mess. Wang Peng and Chen Qingpu were covered in blood, but they didn't care at all. They said to the soldiers with a smile: "We two brothers are surrounded by people. We are the plaintiffs."

The soldiers of the Shenjia Camp were not yamen runners. As long as they didn't make trouble, it would be fine. Sending them to the yamen would be even more troublesome. After warning them twice, they left. Wang Peng and Chen Qingpu ran to Pu Zhen. Pu Zhen looked at the two people who looked like a fool and said coldly: "You two beat dozens of them and are still alive, which is considered to be a bit capable. Then stay." After saying that, he threw a string of money to each of them.

These two people have been able to struggle and survive in the chaotic world. Their skin and flesh are particularly strong. After wiping the blood off their heads, they are as if nothing happened. Pu Zhen was quite satisfied and took them to do business.

Pu Zhen first went to Xiaolan's parents' home and made a deal with the couple. When the couple heard that there was money to be made, they immediately agreed and were taken to Wang Pu's residence as he said. Xiaolan was called out from the general's headquarters.

When Xiaolan came out and saw Pu Zhen, she was shocked, but this was the general's headquarters, and she thought Pu Zhen would not dare to do anything to her. She looked back and saw that six of Wang Pu's personal soldiers were standing guard behind her, so she felt relieved and said carefully: "Master, I have taken back the contract of sale."

Pu Zhen said nothing, glared at Xiaolan's parents beside him, and the two hangers-on Wang Peng and Chen Qingpu immediately pushed the couple away.

When there was no one around, Pu Zhen spoke up: "You are now in a high position, so you look down on me. Humph, but I want to remind you that people like Wang Pu, who have great power, are always fickle, especially since you have no status with him. He is marching to war and has no wives or concubines with him, so he has no choice but to use you temporarily. When the war is over, he will go back and ask if he is willing to take you with him. Even if he does, you are just a little maid, and he doesn't need someone like you.Beauty."

Pu Zhen's words were exactly what Xiaolan was most worried about. After hearing these heart-piercing remarks, she was very depressed and said, "What can I do, Master? I dare not go back to your place."

"I have a way to have the best of both worlds. Wang Pu has taken a fancy to your young lady. Your young lady, hey, has a new love. What do you think Wang Pu will do if he hears about it?" Pu Zhen said. He wanted to provoke a fight between Wang Pu and his uncle so that he could profit from it.

"General Wang has never asked me anything. He may not have this intention." Xiaolan hesitated. She and Wang Pu have become close these days and are willing to protect her new master.

"Humph, wolves eat meat. It is inconvenient for him to eat this piece of meat, and he did not pounce on it because of his face. If it is convenient for him, it will be another matter." Pu Zhen sneered.

"Well, let me think about it. "Xiao Lan was somewhat moved, but she thought that Wang Pu was her only place to live now. If she made him angry, her small body would not be able to bear it.

"Hey. Your young lady is dying." Seeing that the bribery did not work immediately, Pu Zhen changed his tactics and appealed to his emotions.

"Ah, no way. Master, what are you talking about? Could it be, you, you?" Xiao Lan pointed at the other party in horror. She and the young lady had a deep friendship. They were inseparable since childhood and were closer than their parents. Moreover, her young lady was very good to her.

"It has nothing to do with me. It's my uncle. You can see the clues these days. My uncle always teases me in front of your young lady and makes things difficult for me. He wanted to kill me several times. Fortunately, I am lucky to be alive today. His mind is actually, hum, a beast in human clothing. "Although Pu Zhen didn't say it clearly, Xiaolan could understand that the Pu family's master looked at her daughter with a strange look in his eyes. Moreover, the master's reputation was not good in private. He was nicknamed the Jade-faced Adulterer and had an ambiguous relationship with the female servants.
