    (ps: October is here, I wish all friends a happy National Day, and ask for October monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.)

    On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month of Kang Mazi in the Great Qing Dynasty, Fatty Lu returned to Qujing City amidst the welcome of tens of thousands of Qujing people.  The people's cheers were so loud that the newly built gates and buildings in Qujing City were almost collapsed.  Fatty Lu's fat face, which was trying to maintain a calm smile, finally showed an expression of relief and arrogance to the extreme.

    It's not easy, it's really not easy. In the nearly half a year since leaving Qujing, Fatty Lu, who has a dark heart, can't count how many times he was awakened from nightmares, or dreamed that he was accidentally exposed.  Being caught by the rulers of the mite Qing Dynasty, caught in Beijing and executed by Ling Chi or beheaded on the spot like Zha Rulong; or dreaming that because he changed history, Wu Sangui suddenly died suddenly or successfully withdrew from the vassal, causing his previous efforts to be wasted,  On the contrary, my hard work was cheap for the son of a bitch; or else I dreamed that Wu Sangui suddenly raised an army, and I couldn't go back to Yunnan in time, and was detained on the spot by the traitors from other places.  .

    All kinds of worst possibilities kept Fatty Lu awake at night, unwilling to eat, and never fell asleep peacefully at night.  But now, it's finally easy. After passing this level, the future is bright for Fatty Lu. The next question is how to force or induce Wu Sangui's rebellion in the shortest time.  king.

    Back in Qujing, Shang Wanyi had to take Lu Bangjing to cry in front of Fatty Lu. Uncle Qin Chuanwu, cousins ??Qin Yong and Qin Mo, and Fatty Lu's hard-core lackeys Li Tianzhi and Liu brothers who stayed in Qujing were also there.  It is unavoidable to hold Fatty Lu and cry a few times, and tell each other how farewell we are. Although these scenes are touching, they are really boring, so I won't detail them here.  Only Fatty Lu's former deputy in Qujing, Chen Dou, who has now officially served as the magistrate of Qujing County, still has the gloomy and ugly face of Fatty Lu who owes him eight hundred taels of silver, but the occasional gleam of joy in the eyes of a pair of mice is still  It made Fatty Lu feel extremely warm again¡ª¡ªQujing would be better.

    He is born with a busy life, and his ass is still hot in the position of prefect, and he has not even spared time to meet with civil and military officials from one county, one guard and three prefectures in Qujing Prefecture as usual. Sha Xiangde, the confidant of the new governor of Yunnan Zhu Guozhi, took  The official document from the governor's yamen came to Fatty Lu and handed it to Fatty Lu.  When Fatty Lu opened the official document for a look, he saw that the content was to order him to go to Kunming with Sha Xiangde to pay a visit to Zhu Zhongcheng, the governor of Yunnan.

    "Sha Bantou, it's not that I'm an official who refuses to obey orders." Holding the official document, Fatty Lu, who was determined to restrain himself from attracting attention, looked a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice to Sha Xiangde, the head of Zhu Guozhi's yamen: "It's just an official."  I just took over, and I haven't received the officials of Qujing Mansion as usual, and now it's autumn harvest, and there are a lot of miscellaneous tasks such as cutting medicine, boiling ointment, and harvesting of Eight Banner Fushou Gao. It's really hard to go away. Can you trouble Shaban  Head back to Mr. Zhongcheng, wait for the officials to be busy for a while, and then go to Kunming to pay a visit to Mr. Zhongcheng?"

    ? To change to another magistrate, the governor dared to shirk when summoned. Sha Xiangde, who was notorious in Yunnan and would never be under Zhu Guozhi, had already pulled his face down and said bad things a long time ago.  However, in view of Fatty Lu's tough background, and his reputation for contradicting and punishing his boss, it is rare for Shaban, who has been ordered by Zhu Guozhi, to not lose his temper. He just tried his best to smile and said: "Lu Futai,  Of course I understand your difficulties, but this was summoned by Mr. Zhongcheng, and it is also Mr. Zhongcheng's special care for Mr. Futai. If Mr. Futai refuses, I really can't explain to Mr. Zhongcheng."

    "But I'm really too busy here." Fatty Lu was extremely troubled, and asked tentatively: "Sha Bantou, I'm sorry to bother you to report back to Mr. Zhongcheng, and I will be in office for twenty days oh, half a month later, I will be in office."  The official must go to Kunming to meet Mr. Zhongcheng, is that all right?"

    "My lord Futai, if I can make the decision for my lord Zhongcheng, then I don't need to ask my lord Futai, I will agree immediately." Sha Xiangde smiled more humbly, but he refused to make any concessions, just said with a smile on his face:  "However, before I came to Qujing with a lowly position, Mr. Zhongcheng made a special statement. If you want a lowly position, you must invite the Lord Futai to Qujing. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished for the crime of incompetence. Therefore, please forgive us, Mr. Futai.  Don't make it difficult for a humble job to be a errand."

    Sha Xiangde's attitude was so firm that Fatty Lu felt awkward and helpless for a moment. At this moment, Chen Dou, who was standing by the side, suddenly made a gesture to Fatty Lu and weighed his right hand a few times. Fatty Lu suddenly realized, secretly  After scolding himself for forgetting all about the officialdom since he hadn't been an official for a few days, he quickly beckoned Xiao Erlang to his face, and whispered a few words in his ear, Xiao ErlangThe levy of life cream is absolutely unacceptable.  In addition, I want you to try to get out the court's minimum taxation limit from Zhu Guozhi and Gan Wenkun's mouths, and see how the court plans to tax the Eight Banners drugs.  "

    "Crack." The cotton towel in Fatty Lu's hand fell to the ground, and his fat face also showed a dignified look.

    "Master Futai, what's the matter with you?" Chen Dou was amazed and asked: "With your character, you shouldn't be so frightened by such things, right? Zhu Guozhi forced you to tax the Eight Banners medicine, and you used the excuse that the court has  If you don¡¯t have to pay taxes to refuse Baqi Drugs, and if you put some money to send that old thing, you should be able to pass the test, don¡¯t you need to worry about it?¡±

    "That's not what I'm worried about." Fatty Lu didn't bother to pick up the cotton towel, so he straightened up his fat face that had only been wiped halfway, sat on the chair next to him, and said with a gloomy face: "What I'm worried about is that the prince is right.  The attitude of this matter, judging from the order that the prince asked me to try to find out the bottom limit of the court's tax collection from Zhu Guozhi and Gan Wenkun, we, the prince, are probably playing with the idea of ??passing by, as long as the court collects the Eight Banners.  It's not too much, if the prince can accept it, then the prince will never fight to the death with the court."

    "Yeah, why didn't I think of this just now?" Chen Dou was also stunned, and exclaimed, "With the prince's character, it is very possible to do such a thing, and no one can persuade him."

    "We are such a prince, why are we so unbelievable? I have already produced so many good things, why is he still undecided, and confront Emperor Mazi head-on to the end? Still have the idea of ??muddling through?" Fatty Lu  Moaning in pain, he really couldn't understand the old traitor Wu's way of thinking. How could he be so weak and deceitful?

    After thinking for a while, Fatty Lu suddenly slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have to find a way to go to Kunming quickly. I must not give in anymore, let alone fall into the trap of boiling frogs in warm water!"

    "Master Futai, what do you mean, you want to persuade the prince not to make the slightest concession on the taxation of Baqi drug products?" Chen Dou asked tentatively.  Seeing Fatty Lu nodding, Chen Dou sighed, and said in a low voice, "Master Futai, if you plan to do this, I think your chances of success are extremely slim."

    "Master Futai, you can think about it carefully. If you can send the court with a small amount of money, the prince and the generals under him, why would you take the risk of doing what the Lord Futai wants? Why not spend a lot of money?"  A little money can be used to feed the dog and buy a peace? So the officials think that the plan of Mr. Futai is impossible to succeed¡ªeven if the prince agrees, the civil and military officials under the prince will not agree."

    Fatty Lu bowed his head in silence, and asked after a while, "Then what's Mr. Chen's idea?"

    "Master Futai, why can't you change your mind?" Chen Dou's voice suddenly became extremely cold, "Since you are doomed to be unable to persuade the prince and the court to die to the end, then why can't you give it a try and let our pockmark  The emperor and the imperial court have adopted a tougher attitude towards the prince, offering a condition that the prince will never accept, forcing the prince and the entire Pingxi Palace to the point of no return?!"

    Fatty Lu's body shook, and when he raised his head again, there was a smile on the corner of Fatty Lu's mouth, and he asked, "Master Chen, how about we burn yellow paper to worship brothers?"
