What should you do if someone around you suddenly disappears
Of course I reported it to the police.
However, now Hu Shanwei is an official himself, how can he report it
Cao Shanggong's request was not excessive. Liu Siyan was from the Shanggong Bureau and was seconded by the Gongzheng Bureau to do some work. Now that she is gone, who else can they turn to if not her
But Hu Shanwei lived in the deep palace, and she didn't have the ability to see and hear from afar. How could she find Liu Siyan's whereabouts
I had to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen to find the commander Mao Xiang. After all, Liu Siyan didn't come back, and none of the Jinyiwei who escorted her were there!
Jinyiwei Yamen.
Mao Xiang frowned and said, "Hu Dianzheng, I'm not hiding it on purpose. I really don't know why a team of more than 70 people just disappeared like that."
Hu Shanwei didn't believe it, "Is there anything in this world that the Jinyiwei doesn't know?"
Mao Xiang said, "You only lost a female official, but we lost fifty elite soldiers in the Jinyiwei, and there are also twenty or so porters and cart drivers recruited from the public. Their families come to ask about us every day. I am more anxious than you. I have sent an official letter to the Tongzhengsi, asking them to pay attention and report the news immediately if they find anything."
The Tongzhengsi Yamen was just to the north of the Jinyiwei Yamen. The two intelligence agencies were neighbors, both located in a small alley on West Chang'an Street.
The Tongzhengsi was also the institution that had direct access to the emperor's ears in the Ming Dynasty. It reported directly to the emperor on the people's conditions, disasters, and military situations in various places, and supervised local officials. In addition, when officials passed through post stations in various places, the Tongzhengsi would verify the officials' travel documents before they would be received free of charge by the post stations and provided with food and accommodation.
So when officials are on business trips, they cannot stay wherever they want. The government will not reimburse expenses for places other than post stations.
Who each post station received every day, how much money was spent, and even what was eaten at each meal were all reported by the local Tongzhengsi. This was the best and most convenient way to keep track of the officials' routes, and it was also a form of supervision.
Hu Shanwei asked: "When will the Tongzhengsi send us the information about each post station?"
Mao Xiang said, "No need for them to send it. I have already sent Ji Gang and others to move next door. The Tongzhengsi is our neighbor. If I find anything strange, I will send someone to tell you immediately."
Hu Shanwei was not someone who could be easily dismissed. He said, "It's still early today. I will wait here for Ji Gang to move the information from the post station. I am not in a hurry to return to the palace."
If she returns empty-handed, Concubine Cao's cold eyes will torture her to death!
Mao Xiang had a headache: after finally getting rid of Mu Chun, here comes the even more difficult Hu Shanwei.
Mao Xiang said, "Please let Hu Dianzheng wait here. I have to go and get busy. Come on, please serve Hu Dianzheng well."
It was said to be serving, but in fact it was supervision, for he was afraid that Hu Shanwei would run around in the yamen and find out the secret.
After all, the military intelligence sent by Hu Shanwei's "dead ghost" fiancé was constantly transmitted to the Jinyiwei, and the situation in the northwest would become tense every year when winter was approaching.
The servant brought more tea and a red carved box with a dozen small grids, which contained various snacks and fresh fruits. The fresh fruits were seasonal rice and red water chestnuts. The most outstanding snack was a piece of osmanthus sugar and lard steamed chestnut flour cake with a red pennant on it.
This cake is a common snack in Nanjing, but when it is stuffed with colorful triangular flags, it is called Chongyang Cake, and is a traditional food for the Double Ninth Festival.
Before we know it, it’s Double Ninth Festival again.
Last year on the Double Ninth Festival, her father Hu Rong took her and his young wife Chen to the Niu Shou Mountain in the suburbs to see the distant view from a high place. This was the last festival that the family spent in harmony. Afterwards, his young wife became pregnant, and his attitude towards her suddenly changed, revealing his true colors. Then everything changed...
This year's Double Ninth Festival, there is one less person wearing dogwood branches.
Hu Shanwei and her father have depended on each other for many years, and the bond between father and daughter cannot be broken easily.
While eating the sweet Chongyang cake, Hu Shanwei suddenly realized that she was now outside the palace. While waiting for news here, she could take some time to visit her father at his home on Chengxian Street.
no!
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Hu Shanwei shook his head violently to dispel it. Her father was now surrounded by his lovely wife and children, and his life was filled with joy. If she went back, everyone would be unhappy—including herself. So why bother
But just like that, waiting in the Jinyiwei Yamen facing the Chongyang Cake with a small flag on it, Hu Shanwei felt extremely confused and felt like sitting on the carpet with pins and needles. All kinds of memories, some good, some terrible, in his life were running through his mind and he was out of control of his recollections.
For example, the short period of comfortable time that our family of three spent in Suzhou when we were young.
Chang Yuchun's fear during the massacre and witnessing his mother being trampled to death by the refugees.
She and her father moved to Nanjing, opened a bookstore to make a living, and depended on each other for survival.
After she got engaged to Wang Ning, they met under the lanterns and moon during the Lantern Festival...
Unable to think about these things any more, Hu Shanwei stood up and said goodbye, telling his attendants that he would be back soon.
After exiting the alley, you will see the bustling West Chang'an Street. Hu Shanwei strolled along the street, and the atmosphere of life that hit him dispelled his melancholy. Passing by a restaurant, he saw porters and other people who were waiting at the door holding a bowl of noodles and slurping them.
Hu Shanwei remembered that Mu Chun had this habit. He would rather squat on the street to eat noodles than go home to eat delicacies, or simply sleep on the street like a homeless person.
Since Mu Chun left the Jinyiwei, he had only seen Hu Shanwei when he went to the palace to celebrate Empress Ma's birthday on August 8th. During the banquet, he ate and drank so much that a lot of the powder he used to cover the scars on his face fell off, and his makeup came off. He borrowed rouge and powder from Hu Shanwei to "touch up his makeup", and even used the excuse that he was drunk and his hands were shaking, and asked Hu Shanwei to "put on makeup" for him personally.
Hu Shanwei felt sorry for the naughty boy's difficult situation and softened his heart for a moment, so he mixed some rouge and powder to cover him up.
Now a month has passed, and I wonder how his training in Yingyang Guard is going
Hu Shanwei changed into men's clothes, hired a carriage, and went to see Muchun.
The Yingyangwei training ground was a scene of large-scale fighting. These young men, second- and third-generation military men, were at an impulsive and aggressive age.
The rule formulated by Muchun was to appoint officials based on military force. Those who could beat ten people would be promoted to small flags. Then the ten small flags would compete with each other (fight each other) and the winner would be granted the title of centurion.
The ten centurions continued to fight each other through the fairest way - drawing lots, and the final winner was awarded the title of thousand households.
Qianhu is qualified to challenge Mu Chun by best-of-three games. If he wins, he can drive Mu Chun out of office and become the deputy commander.
On this day, the new captain who had fought his way out of the Shura Field issued a declaration of war to Shangguan Muchun.
Mu Chun accepted the challenge in the ring. About a thousand people from the Eagle Guard gathered in the training ground to watch Mu Chun make a fool of himself and get beaten. They also placed bets with odds of one to nine. One in ten soldiers actually bet on Mu Chun to win. Mu Chun was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He clasped his fists towards them and said, "Thank you for your support. I will definitely not give up your expectations."
The skinny and skinny Shi Baihu, who was born into a bandit family, patted one of the soldiers on the shoulder and asked, "What makes you so confident in the commander that you put all your salary for half a year on him?"
The soldier said, "My confidence in the Commander-in-Chief starts with his looks, ends with his talent, and ends with his character. Everyone knows that the Commander-in-Chief is a bad person who will do anything to win, and he spends all day with petty thieves like you. I think this fight will be a foregone conclusion, and this shameless man will win."
Bai Hu Shi praised: "You have a good vision!"
Another soldier said, "Yes, in order to win, Lord Mu might have put laxatives in the Qianhu's meal and other insidious tricks. Look, Lord Mu came early, but Lord Qianhu hasn't come yet."
Although they bet that Muchun would win, everyone was full of contempt for the man on the ring. It could be said that he was eating with the bowl in his hand and cursing when he put the bowl down.
Mu Chun held a piece of grass in his mouth, leaned against the pillar of the arena with his arms folded across his chest, squinted his eyes and looked at Qiu Yang, his left leg shaking constantly, and he was not standing properly.
If his father Mu Ying saw him, he would definitely scold him and beat him, but this is Yingyang Guard, his own territory, and he has the final say.
I trained these second-generation military trash into capable soldiers, I am proud of it!
The new captain finally arrived. He leaped onto the stage. It seemed that Lord Mu did not use any dirty tricks like laxatives, and was going to fight for real.
Because it was a hand-to-hand fight, both men were shirtless, wearing only pants, and both were teenagers. They had not yet grown up, and their chest muscles were still thin. The two men rushed forward, hugged each other, and rolled and fought like a street fight.
The soldiers gathered around the arena and made a noise. No one noticed that Hu Shanwei, a woman dressed as a man, walked to the training ground and joined the crowd.
Yes, Hu Shanwei went straight to the guardhouse, as freely as if he were going in and out of his own vegetable garden. No one was standing guard at the door, and everyone took money to bet that Mu Chun would lose, hoping to see him being beaten on the ring to vent their anger.
The new captain attacked Mu Chun's lower body, picked him up by the waist, and gave him a beautiful hug and throw.
There was a muffled sound, and even Hu Shanwei, who was standing at the outermost edge of the onlookers, heard it clearly and thought that it must be very painful.
"Good fight!" The surrounding soldiers burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
Muchun twisted and struggled like an earthworm, and the new captain laughed, "Give up!"
Mu Chun stood up with the help of the ring, wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand, and smiled contemptuously, "Is that all the strength you have? It's not like you're carrying the bride to the pit, you should use some strength!"
Everyone laughed.
Hu Shanwei's face suddenly turned red. It was the first time she heard Mu Chun say such nonsense. Before, others said that Mu Chun was a devil, but Hu Shanwei felt that he was just a naive and reckless boy who was inexperienced in the world and had no bad intentions or bad thoughts.
Now it seems that she has to get to know Mu Chun again, or maybe Mu Chun has become a bad person since he became the assistant commander, as he has been influenced by the bad people around him.
Hu Shanwei had been surrounded by scholars since she was a child. Later, she got a fiancé and went out with him. Her fiancé expressed his affection for her but was polite to her, without any frivolous or abrupt behavior.
Hu Shanwei turned around and left, "Humph, I can't stay in this filthy place for a moment!"
ah!
On the ring, Mu Chun let out a scream.
Hu Shanwei's heart ached and he turned around again, seeing Mu Chun lying on the ring again.
The surrounding soldiers cheered again. Hu Shanwei was worried about Mu Chun and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to see how Mu Chun was doing.
Mu Chun suddenly jumped up, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, like a curled-up rattlesnake, suddenly spit out his tongue and punched the new captain in the lower abdomen.
The new Qianhu contracted his abdomen in pain, and Mu Chun did a somersault, picked up his opponent's waist, and threw him to the ground.
The new captain fell on the ring and bounced three times. The skinny guy acted as the referee and counted ten times, but Mu Chun still didn't get up, so he declared Mu Chun the winner.
well!
The soldiers who lost their bets sighed in regret and dispersed.
The winner is of course happy, it’s a nine to one odds, so you’ll get rich!
They counted the silver and said to Mu Chun on the stage, "I didn't realize that Lord Mu is really capable."
Mu Chun said, "Don't take on a job if you don't have the skills. How can I dare to come to Yingyangwei if I don't have the skills?"
The soldiers who won the bet whistled at Mu Chun's crotch and said jokingly, "Hey, Lord Mu has never married and is still a virgin, right? This thing has never been used, who knows if it is a diamond drill or a piece of rotten wood!"
In the military camp, the most talked about thing is women. Even if you don't understand, you have to pretend to know. Even if you can't do it, you have to pretend to be able to do it. You have to make dirty jokes every three sentences, otherwise others will look down on you and you will never be able to integrate into this group.
So, Mu Chun deliberately pretended to be an experienced person, bare-chested, flexed his eight-pack abs, shrugged his hips back and forth, and said, "I'm really good. If you don't believe me, come and try."
The waistband of the pants had been pulled loose during the fight and had fallen to the highest point of the hip line, revealing a deep dimple in the waist.
Everyone was shocked by Lord Mu's shamelessness and shamelessness, and they all took their money and left, "Forget it, I'm not a woman."
Naturally, Hu Shanwei saw and heard this scene. He wanted to pick up a bucket of water to wash his eyes and ears on the spot!
I was wrong, I shouldn't have come, I will never come again. Hu Shanwei turned around and walked away quickly.
On the stage, Mu Chun was still moving his hips back and forth in ecstasy, just like a famous Western singer who created a dance move more than 500 years later.
The skinny monkey Shi Baihu, the trusted confidant, said, "Sir, please stop."
Mu Chun glanced at the audience from the corner of his eye and said, "No, those people haven't all been scared away yet."
Bai Hu said, "But you scared Hu Dianzheng away."
It was as if Sun Wukong had cast a spell to freeze him, and Mu Chun suddenly became motionless.
The author has something to say: Hu Shanwei: The death stare from the class teacher.
Congratulations to reader sbsjl for winning a 100-point red envelope.
In fact, the answer has already appeared in the third chapter of this book. b is the content of the test question of "Keeping Chastity" in the female Analects of Confucius in Hu Shanwei's Ming Dynasty female civil servant entrance examination! ! ! ! You have read it and forgotten it. Hu Shanwei did not finish writing this theory, and the female champion Shen Qionglian wrote the famous sentence "How terrible, Qin's lawlessness is, why must chastity be maintained!"
c is a sentence in "Nei Xun" written by the third queen of Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for it to travel through time to Hongwu Dynasty, so it is ruled out.
As for the ad... I can only say that you guys are really courageous.
100 red envelopes are waiting for you tonight.
