Chapter Seventy-Two: Fat Sheep?
In fact, Huang Qiong's worries are somewhat superfluous, who is he, the emperor Laozi? After regaining power, the cadres have been dictatorial for more than ten years, and the city government is not ordinarily deep. Over the years, he has developed enough self-cultivation. Although the anger in his heart almost burned himself, he did not attack on the spot.
In the shortest possible time, his face returned to its original state, calm so that outsiders could not see a trace of waves. I can't see what he is thinking at the moment. The emperor, who calmed down, did not say anything, but said: "I already understand the situation here, and today's affairs are hard for a few old men." Qiong'er, reward these old men with ten yuan each, which is considered hard money. ”
Seeing that the emperor didn't have a seizure on the spot, Huang Qiong's heart that had been hanging high fell. Hearing the emperor's instructions, he hurriedly took out a few small silver tickets that the high duke stuffed before leaving the palace, and stuffed them with a ten-yuan one for each of these old men. It's just that the high father-in-law stuffed a small amount of silver tickets, and he bought some food along the way and spent a lot.
For the rest, there is nothing left other than to pay a few old men. As for the golden melon seeds, Huang Qiong didn't plan to expose them. That thing is used in the court to reward people, not to mention ordinary people's homes, even ordinary officials can't see it. These golden melon seeds are easy to take out, but it may not be a blessing to give them to these people. If it is seen by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will lead to disaster.
When I saw the silver ticket in hand, there was only one hundred pieces left. Huang Qiong hesitated slightly, but still stuffed it into the strong man's hand: "This brother, I have been offended a lot before, and I hope you have a lot of them, don't take it to heart." This little money can be regarded as a little compensation for the fact that we frightened your relatives before. ”
It's just that Huang Qiong didn't expect her kindness, and people didn't appreciate it at all. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he looked at the face value of the silver ticket that Huang Qiong stuffed over, and said angrily as if he had been insulted: "Why should I take your money? It's great to have money. ”
"I'm poor, Lao Tzu is poor, but Lao Tzu is not scarce of your money. You've listened to the words, and you know the ins and outs of the matter. Now you take your money, roll as far as you want, don't stand at the door of my house. If you want to seek revenge, then you can do it. If I, Liu Hu, frowned, I wouldn't have been raised by my mother's father. ”
After he finished saying these few words, Huang Qiong didn't say anything, but the faces of the guards over there turned green. I've seen someone who doesn't know how to lift, but I've never seen someone who doesn't know how to lift like this. A county king is a dignified county, bowing to you again and again, and you are endless. Give you a needle, and you'll be treated like a mallet. It's really uncle who can bear it, but aunt can't bear it.
Several guards who were half angry with this big man named Liu Hu didn't care that the emperor was by his side at this time, and they were going to teach this guy a lesson when they pulled out their blades. At least let him know what politeness is, let him know who can be offended and who cannot be offended.
"Stop, aren't you ashamed?" After Huang Qiong shouted to stop these guards, he turned around and said, "This Liu Zhuangshi, the so-called ignorant is not guilty. We have entered your house by mistake, but we have not been offended. Since we met, I have never used money to oppress people. This money is only for us to make amends, and we have no other thoughts. ”
This big man named Liu Hu heard Huang Qiong's sincere words again, but he still stood there coldly and did not move at all. An old man next to him saw that the matter was about to stalemate, so he tugged at his clothes and said, "This big official, just accept the money you are given, at least it can alleviate your family's predicament." ”
"Look at your posture, your family will be out of food for two or three days. Even if you can hold on, the wife and children at home can't starve with you. Besides, you always have to pull a piece of clothing for the wife and children at home. They can't be wrapped in a quilt all day and not go out. ”
"That's what we're going to do, we can't help it. At this stall, human life is not as good as a dog. Everyone knows that you are arrogant, but no matter how high your heart is, can he be used as a cook? Can you fill your wife and children? Especially when your children are still growing up. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't feel sorry for your children, but your nephews and nieces can bear to starve to death? ”
The persuasion of this old man who knows the current situation of Liu Hu's family better has moved this guy. Thinking of the children who were waiting to be fed at home, as well as the nephews and nieces who followed him to the capital and were also starving, Liu Hu let out a long sigh. In this sigh, although it contained indescribable desolation, he finally accepted the silver ticket handed over by Huang Qiong.
Seeing that he accepted the silver ticket he handed over, Huang Qiong smiled and reported his address and said: "If there is any difficulty in brother, you can follow this address to find the younger brother, and the younger brother should try his best to solve the difficulties for the brother." Even if there is nothing difficult about it, you can also go to the younger brother's house for a small gathering. ”
At this time, Huang Qiong had already set his sights on recruiting this Liu Hu. It's just that in front of the emperor, this is a little difficult to say. I can only leave my address, hoping that he can find it himself. Although Jingzhao Mansion strictly forbade these homeless people to enter the inner city where their palace was located. But presumably with Liu Hu's skills, as long as he has an address, it is not difficult to find himself.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Huang Qiong, who was not early at this time and was about to go back to the palace to see his mother, so he turned his head to the emperor and said, "Father, it's not early at this hour, should we go back?" If you spend too much time outside, your family should be in a hurry. It's not good if it alarms too many people. ”
In response to Huang Qiong's words, the emperor nodded silently, turned around and took a closer look here, and sighed in a low voice before stepping away. Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, the little eunuch hurriedly ran to the emperor to lead the way. The few guards who were afraid that the previous thing would happen again were even more closely guarded by the emperor in the middle.
Seeing that the emperor's mood was obviously quite low, Huang Qiong didn't dare to say anything. After arching his hand to the people around him, and after a slight apology, he turned and left after the emperor. It's just that before they have taken a few steps, they meet several officials head-on.
Seeing the glamorous Huang Qiong and a few people, after several officials who came towards him glanced at each other, a trace of joy flashed in their eyes. Looking at Huang Qiong and his party, it was like looking at a few fat sheep. A servant who seemed to be taking the lead blocked the way and said directly: "Who are you, what do you want to do here?" ”
"Don't you know that our lord has a clear order that people in the capital are not allowed to come here unless they obtain the approval of Jingzhao Mansion? Looking at a few of you oily noodles, it's not a good thing at first glance. This is really the first place for my Great Qi Jingshi to hide dirt and dirt, and the people here don't have a good thing. You must have some intention of coming here, now come with me to Jingzhao Mansion. ”
As soon as the words of the officials were finished, Huang Qiong knew that these officials must have treated their party as fat sheep and wanted to squeeze some oil and water out of themselves. Just thinking that the emperor was by his side, Huang Qiong, who didn't want to make trouble, smiled slightly and said: "A few officials, we just got lost and strayed into this place, and there are no bad intentions." ”
"No attempt, no attempt, what are you doing here? Still lost and strayed into this place? Joke, why don't you get lost to the palace? Tell you, I have heard a lot of your rhetoric, but I don't believe you. You go with me now, and if you can't find out the problem, I will naturally release you if you pay the fine in full. If you find out something, don't think about it. ”
As soon as this guy's voice fell, the other official said a little impatiently: "Head, what nonsense are you talking to them, just arrest them first." Although there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in this capital, there is a ghost place like this who is full of food and nothing to do, what do you have to worry about? These people are oily-haired and powdery, and they are not a good thing at first glance, and they must be right to catch them. ”
"Besides, there are a few people who have clean underneath their butts these days. Even if you can resist the board when you bring it back to the yamen, if you sit on the tiger chair, even if it's okay, will it be okay? Don't forget, we're not done yet. The people here are so poor that they can't squeeze much oil and water out of it. I grabbed these fat sheep and went back, just to fill the shortfall. ”
In fact, as a servant in Jingzhao Mansion, where the princes and dignitaries lived, it stands to reason that his eyelids should not be so narrow. For them, knowing the dignitaries should be the first priority. Otherwise, it is easy to provoke Jing Zhaoyin behind them, and there are characters who may not be able to provoke. It's just a pity that one of these two people in front of him is an emperor who they can't see at all.
As for the other one, it is the newly crowned county king. Not only did he just leave the palace for a short time, but he also studied in the house on weekdays, and he was very low-key. This upstart in the capital, not only these officials but also the future understanding. I don't even know that in this capital with so many nobles, it is very possible to have such an upstart. So these guys who are bent on making a fortune are obviously out of sight today.
These few officials who don't know that they have kicked a big iron plate are ashamed to catch the emperor and go back to serve as a fat sheep to fill their own shortcomings. After listening to their conversation, the emperor over there turned his face extremely pale, and ordered the guards beside him: "Take them all for me, if you run one, go back and go to the Shen Punishment Division to get a hundred boards." ”
A few guards who had lost face in front of the emperor before, and who wanted to make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor, heard the emperor's orders, where did they still need the emperor's threat? With a shout, several people rushed towards those few like wolves, obviously without eyes, and pounced on the few guys who slaughtered the emperor as a fat sheep.
These few have obviously been hollowed out by the wine, and I am afraid that they never dreamed that the few fat sheep gentlemen in front of them would suddenly transform into the servants of the fierce god and evil Hades, and they were the opponents of this group of guards. Before he could return his hand, he was knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
These guards, the anger they received from Liu Hu before, was sprinkled on these guards, and they were very ruthless when they attacked. After several officials were knocked to the ground, they didn't need to be tied up at all. The joints of the limbs have obviously been made of hands and feet, and these guys have been removed. It's already paralyzed into a pile of mud, and I can't even stand up except for ghosts crying and wolf howling.
Several of the officials were cleanly knocked down by the guards, and the emperor, who had been sinking like water, but seemed unusually calm. At this time, he suddenly did something that made Huang Qiong and almost everyone present stunned. The emperor, who rushed to the front of several officials like crazy, raised his foot and kicked at several officials. And whoever shouts louder will hit harder.
