Chapter 42: The Drunkard Zhang
In other words, as a secret agent, why did Pang Zhang do things under Feng Xingzhi?
That's because Feng Xingzhi saved the lives of Pang Zhang's family before, and brought the dying Pang Zhang back for treatment, saving a life.
After the treatment, Pang Zhang followed with all his heart, and later became the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion.
Before saving him, he was not called Pang Zhang, and his body was also very thin, thin as a mouse, and he was called a fat mouse at that time.
The fat rat is the house slave of the Liu family in Liantang, who was adopted since he was a child and used as a secret agent, and he also treated them as slaves, with no human rights and freedom at all, and obeyed the Liu family for life.
The Liu family in Liantang is a famous family, with hundreds of years of heritage, and the history of the family records traces the time when the Chu State was founded.
Why did such a noble family keep domestic slaves as spies?
It is also a family tradition, originally the ancestor of the Liu family was the leader of the secret agents who followed the founding king of Chu to fight the world, and later the founding of the Chu state, the ancestor of the Liu family was rewarded, and the current Liu family was established in Liantang.
After the establishment of the family, the ancestors of the Liu family did not throw away the means of training secret agents, but adopted domestic slaves, trained them to be secret agents, and distributed them to the regional forces around Liantang.
Because the newly established family was weak, it needed more intelligence development, and in the early days of the founding of the Chu State, the rivers and lakes were not very peaceful.
After a long time, the Liu family also made arrangements in advance because the secret agents could predict a lot of information, and avoided the evil, so that the Liu family could gain a firm foothold in Liantang and develop.
I have to say that the prestige of the Liu family today is all accumulated on the flesh and blood of generations of secret agents and dead soldiers.
Fat Rat is the new generation of secret agents of the Liu family, and he is also the best among them.
But in a hidden faction, the fat rat lurked in the other party's forces after disguise, and in order to cover his identity, he married a woman, who is now Zhang's.
After getting married, Fat Rat felt the taste of being loved for the first time, and he was deeply infatuated with this taste, but as a secret agent and a house slave, he knew that he couldn't have these, and love would kill him, and it was not only the forces lurking in him that wanted his life, but also the Liu family.
The Liu family keeps house slaves, just want to use them as tools, and the mouth of the tool with feelings is not strict, because with feelings comes care, in order to keep the Liu family's secret agent, they can only kill their mouths.
If outsiders know that the Liu family uses secret agents to obtain secrets from other forces, they will inevitably be squeezed out or even suppressed by officialdom and people in the rivers and lakes.
In that order, the fat mouse lurked for a long time, which also made him fall in love with the Zhang family, and he had the crystallization of love, which is now Pang Xiaotian.
After seeing the birth of his son, the fat mouse made up his mind to leave here, break free from the shackles of the Liu family, and fly away.
But the idea is good, the reality is very cruel, the fleeing fat rat family of three was found by the Liu family and intercepted.
At that time, Feng Xingzhi happened to go out on a long trip, and happened to encounter this scene, looking at the fat rat with several knives in his body, regardless of his life, but also to protect the mother and son, which deeply touched the heartstrings in Feng Xingzhi's heart, so he killed the pursuers and saved the fat rat family.
It's not that Feng Xingzhi is ruthless and killer, but those people are all dead soldiers, and they only have the Liu family order in their eyes, regardless of anything else.
Feng Xingzhi took the fat mouse back to Yangzhou City to recuperate, and after he recovered from his injury, he thought that he was going to change his face, and in a short period of time, he ate himself from a thin and narrow body to a round and fat, and took a name called Pang Zhang.
Zhang Yin Tong Zhang, his wife's surname is Zhang.
... ...
A winemaking workshop outside Yangzhou.
Feng Xingzhi wanted to bring Zhang's mother and son here to settle down, and he secretly thought in his heart that if Pang Zhang's deeds were revealed, maybe his identity would also be known by the other party.
Just in case, it is safest to send their mother and son out of Yangzhou City first.
There are rules on the rivers and lakes that are not as good as wives and children, but they also hate secret agents, who knows if the people of the Jiaolong Gang will arrest Pang Zhang's wife and children as weights and force him to comply.
Feng Xingzhi knows Pang Zhang, his mouth is harder than a sword, it can only be broken, not pried open.
But Pang Zhang's wife and children are his soft inside, and when he catches the soft inside, the steel man has also become a finger twister.
Of course, Feng Xingzhi is not afraid that Pang Zhang will confess himself to the Jiaolong Gang, even if the Jiaolong Gang is powerful, he must follow the rules of the rivers and lakes.
If the rules are messed up, the qi of the rivers and lakes will be dispersed, and without the qi of the rivers and lakes, the roots of the Jiaolong Gang will collapse.
Feng Xingzhi took their mother and son into the brewing workshop, and before they could call someone, one of them fell from the top of their heads.
This man smelled of alcohol, and it was difficult for him to be blown away even by a strong wind.
"Fengli Knife, why did you bring the right mother and son to me, it can't be that your concubine in Rouge City gave birth to an illegitimate child and brought me here for refuge. ”
Feng Xingzhi saw that someone was making fun of himself, and he didn't care, he just wanted to speak, but Pang Xiaotian on the side spoke in advance.
"My name is Pang Xiaotian, my father's name is Pang Zhang, my mother is not a concubine, and I am not an illegitimate child. ”
Feng Xingzhi and the man both looked at Pang Xiaotian, and were a little stunned by his milky child's voice, and they all thought in their hearts that this child was very interesting.
Zhang came to a strange place, a little nervous, and hugged Pang Xiaotian, who had just spoken on the phone, in his arms.
Feng Xingzhi turned his head and said to the man: "Drunkard Zhang, their mother and son are my friend's wife and son, and now that he is in trouble, I will take them out of the city to settle down, and stay with you for a few days." ”
"Stay, stay, I've already lost a bet to you here, it's all yours anyway, and you've spent a lot of money to expand. ”
The drunkard Zhang picked up the wine gourd behind him, pulled out the cork and poured a sip.
Feng Xingzhi brought the wine gourd over and gave himself a sip, "The taste is very pure, this is a newly brewed glutinous rice roast, and their mother and son will be handed over to you, I am still in a hurry, I have to rush back." ”
"I only have wine in my eyes, so if I want to live here, I can find a spare room to live in, and I don't have time to take care of it. ”
Feng Xingzhi heard him say this, the corners of his mouth curled, returned the wine gourd to him, and turned to Yangzhou City.
The drunkard Zhang knows that he is unreliable in everything except for winemaking and drinking, and he can not change his clothes for a month without changing them.
But he spoke as a man of faith, and said that if he let Zhang's mother and son live, he would protect them from living here, and he would not ignore them.
Although this brewing workshop was a bet lost to Feng Xingzhi by the drunkard Zhang, Feng Xingzhi has always regarded him as a friend, not a subordinate.
And this brewery does not intend to make a profit as its own industry, but only supplies wine to Lanyue Tower.
At that time, Feng Xingzhi was planning the opening of Lanyue Building, thinking about preparing to build or acquire a brewing workshop, so he searched around inside and outside Yangzhou City, and finally determined the drunkard Zhang's family.
Before the drunkard Zhang's workshop was popular, it was only a large courtyard, with three or two helpers in it, and the wine brewed every time almost entered his own stomach.
Fengxingzhi chose this place because the wine produced here is very pure, the wine quality is good, and the wine is like a person with its own character, and each wine is different.
Then Feng Xingzhi found the drunkard Zhang and talked to him about the acquisition, but the drunkard Zhang decisively refused, and he also said that the wine brewed by my drunkard Zhang is for people to drink, not for silver.
Feng Xingzhi thought this person was interesting, so he asked how he could give up this winery to himself.
The drunkard replied to him, as long as you can take out the wine that made me drunk, let alone sell it to you, give it to you.
The drunkard Zhang is very confident in his own drinking, after all, he is the one who soaks in the wine vat every day.
Feng Xingzhi accepted the gamble and returned home to give him the bottle of drunken dreams in the warehouse.
This drunken dream can be said to be a bottle of wine, it can also be said to be a bottle of medicine, as long as the average person takes a sip, they will be drunk and fall asleep.
This bottle of drunken dreams and death was intercepted by Feng Xingzhi and Xu Yang from a lewd thief when they were wandering on the rivers and lakes.
The lewd thief used drunk life and dream death as a drug, and said that this wine is much better than drugs, if people are unconscious, the body does not react to the things of men and women, but drunk and dreaming of death is just drunk and asleep, when it is sensational, the woman's body will react to cater to it, not only has a coquettish wheezing, but also the water below can also sizzle, as if in a dream of spring.
After the drunkard Zhang drank the whole bottle of drunken dreams and died, he really didn't stand up and fell asleep.
This drunkard really didn't cover the amount of wine, ordinary people arrived in one sip, and he drank the whole bottle before it fell.
After he woke up, he didn't come to repay the debt, and gave this workshop to Feng Xingzhi according to the gambling contract.
However, he was still a little unwilling in his heart, and he was looking for provocation to find Feng Xing to know how to move.
After the two of them fought, they were secretly surprised, but they didn't expect that the other party's skills were not weak, so they gave up.
After that, Feng Xingzhi did not politely accept the winemaking workshop, and also gave convenience to keep the drunkard Zhang, saying that as long as you make wine here, you can drink the wine in this workshop as you like.
The drunkard Zhang made this brewing workshop, the main purpose is to make wine for himself, and now someone has funded himself to make wine, and he can drink happily, so he naturally accepted this proposal and became the chief brewing master here.
In the future, every cage of wine in the winery will be personally supervised, not for anything else, because the wine sent to Lanyuelou is also the wine he drinks.
