The life of a man on the road of film and television

Chapter 238 Ruyi 35

And with the guidance of the investigation results of Yinqi and the other, Prince Yi brought back the investigation results just after lunch.

After reading the investigation results, Yongzheng showed them to the ministers below in turn. Soon after, he formed a ministerial meeting to handle Miao affairs, consisting of more than ten people, including civil officials such as Zhang Tingyu and Prince Yi, and military generals such as Prince Dun, to plan the use of military forces.

Everyone discussed the matter in the Yangxin Palace for a whole day and night. It was not until the early morning of the next day that the final result was announced by Peregrine Falcon, who had eaten, drunk and played enough, and returned to Yin Qi with a mailbox that was twice as big as usual.

At this moment, Yinqi and Jinzhong took Chen Hu and Chen Bao respectively to various counties in Guzhou to gather information and rescue people.

When Peregrine Falcon followed the mental mark to find him, Yin Qi was kicking a fat man who had attempted to rape a girl but failed, was discovered by Yin Qi and was now shouting wildly.

"What are you going to do? Do you know who my father is? Let me tell you! If you dare to touch me today, I will not forgive you! I am, ah!"

The pig-slaughtering-like screams made Yin Qi's already irritable mood even worse.

"Your father is Long Aotian and I am going to pull out his tendons today."

After saying that, Yin Qi raised his leg and kicked the fat man, causing him to vomit blood and pass out.

"Master, the Peregrine Falcon is back"

Chen Hu said expressionlessly as he came behind Yin Qi with the peregrine falcon standing on his shoulder and combing its hair.

Yin Qi, who had already noticed the peregrine falcon's return, turned around without saying a word and took off all the mailboxes that were tied to each of the peregrine falcon's legs.

After carefully reading the contents of the letter, Yin Qi closed one of the letter tubes again, took out a round plaque that he had given to Fu Cha Langya from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Hu.

"Ride my horse and go to Guiyang to give this to Yuan Zhancheng. Ask him to bring his troops here as soon as possible."

"Yes"

After receiving the order, Chen Hu did not hesitate and turned around and left.

After Chen Hu left, a tall and thin man in black tights walked out from an alley not far away and stood behind Yin Qi.

This person was none other than Chen Yang, one of the four secret guards Kangxi had given to Yinqi and who had never appeared in public.

"How are you doing over there?"

Without paying any attention to Chen Yang, Yinqi contacted Jinzhong in the letter to inquire about the progress on his side.

"There's still one county left. Are you done there?"

"Well, my brother just replied to my letter."

"Is there any result?"

"Yes"

Speaking of this, Yinqi has a hard time explaining it. It's also funny to say that after investigation, he found out that this matter was actually related to the great Confucian scholar Lu Liuliang of the Ming Dynasty.

(The incident with Lu Liuliang can be said to be one of the biggest black spots in Yongzheng's life. I won't mention the original history for now. I am just making it up here.)

Lu Liuliang's youngest son was named Lu Yizhong. He and Zheng Yanfu were classmates and friends, and they kept in touch.

Since his father's death, Lu Yizhong has been spoiled by his mother because he is the youngest son, which also led to his frivolous temperament.

As time went on, some of his father's apprentices who were close to him and had ulterior motives took him out to play and got him addicted to gambling.

But because Lu Yizhong had many brothers, and all of them were divided up after Lu Liuliang's death, the living conditions of Lu Liuliang and his mother, who had no income, had actually long been much worse than before.

Gambling is something that, once you get addicted, you can gamble away all your family fortune, so even with his mother's help, the money Lu Yizhong had was quickly used up.

Without money to gamble, Lu Yizhong secretly sold things at home. Later, when he had nothing to buy, he found his good friend Zheng Yanfu to borrow money.

As for Zheng Yanfu, although he was in the Zhenglan Banner, he was just a bondservant of the Han Army Banner.

But since he can become good friends with Lu Yizhong, it means that their temperaments must be somewhat similar.

As time went by, with the guidance of Lu Yizhong and the instigation of Lu Liuliang's disciples, Zheng Yanfu soon became addicted to gambling through Lu Yizhong.

In this way, Zheng Yanfu lost all the money he had. Unlike Lu Yizhong, Zheng Yanfu was different in that his wife had always been the one in charge of his family.

Although Zheng Yanfu's family background is not prominent, he was indeed a juren in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, and now he is also a minor official of the fourth rank in Beijing.

That's why he was favored by Ling Zhu and married the younger sister of Concubine Fang, who was very popular at that time.

But because of this, Zheng Yanfu had little say in the family, and all the money he used for gambling these days was his own private money. So the two of them had no choice but to start thinking of ways to borrow money.

At first, the two went to their classmates to borrow money. Some people who didn't know the situation were willing to lend them money in an emergency. But after a long time, everyone knew that they borrowed money to gamble, so who dared to lend them money?

Now that they had lost their money, the two had to temporarily return to normal life, but how could those people who led Lu Yizhong to become addicted to gambling let them go just like that?

These people have been lurking around Lu Liuliang for so long, all for this day, so after some acting, Lu Yizhong and the other two were quickly introduced to someone by these disciples.

And this person is none other than Zeng Jing.

Zeng Jing can be regarded as one of the few literati among those who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a ruthless person.

Why do people say he is cruel? He is just a scholar, neither a Beijing official nor a juren, but he is able to contact Yue Zhongqi, a second-rank official who is on patrol in Mongolia.

Not only that, he also went to other people and tried to incite them to rebel. If Yue Zhongqi had not been determined and did not let him succeed, this man might have done something big.

Originally, after Lu Liuliang's death, Zeng Jing had given up the idea of ​​using Lu Liuliang's reputation to start an uprising, but he did not expect that these abandoned pawns could bring him such a big surprise.

So when Lu Yizhong and the other man came to borrow money, Zeng Jing generously took out a lot of silver.

But Zeng Jing's target was Lu Yizhong, so he was actually quite wary of Zheng Yanfu who came with him.

After all, Zheng Yanfu is related to the Niuhulu clan. If his plans are exposed because of Zheng Yanfu, all his plans for many years will be wasted.

Zeng Jing, who had thought through the pros and cons, devised a plan to sow discord between the disciples who brought Lu Yizhong with them, bringing the relationship between Lu and Zheng to a freezing point.

This suddenly broke up with Lu Yizhong. Zheng Yanfu, who lost his financial support, had no ability to repay his debts after losing a large sum of money. He had to hide back home and rarely went out.

But the gambling house doesn’t care about that. No matter how high your official position is, if you don’t pay back the money you owe, the thugs will soon be visited by debt collectors.

When Zheng Yanfu's father found out about this, he immediately suppressed it. Otherwise, if the news got out, Zheng Yanfu would definitely lose his position as an official.

Even though Zheng's father hated his son for not living up to his expectations, he still had to think about his son.

Fortunately, the matter was handled efficiently by Zheng's father and no rumors spread in the capital. Even Zheng Yanfu's wife did not know about it.

But Zheng Yanfu could not stay in Beijing. After all, no one could guarantee whether someone would expose this matter in the future. There was no other way, so Zheng's father had to find a way to put Zheng Yanfu on the list of overseas assignments, hoping that the hard work of the overseas assignment would allow Zheng Yanfu to change his appearance.

In this way, Zheng Yanfu was sent to Guzhou.
