Chapter 003: Domineering
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's ears were hot and dazzling, and they were suddenly a little drunk.
"Fanzi has finally been repelled, Xianggong, the brothers follow you, and there is finally hope."
Niu Gao raised his wine glass, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his black face was flushed.
"Great official, without you, there would be no me today, I thank you so much!"
Wang Song raised his wine glass, touched it with Niu Gao, and said loudly: "Brother Niu, you deserve this." You are loyal and benevolent, you regard death as if you were at home, and all the brothers in the army are not convinced, so you will bring your sister-in-law and aunt as soon as possible to share the joy of family. The house business is wrapped up in me. ”
Niu Gao's eyes were slightly red, and he raised his wine glass and drank it all.
Zhang Heng said in a low voice: "Big officials, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all of them are ghosts, and they don't do much work, but this whole person is the best." According to me, it's better to be happy in Hedong!"
He was born recklessly, old-fashioned and upright by nature, and in this deceitful and intriguing officialdom, he always felt out of place, just like a wrestler with poor skills, who was always blamed and ridiculed on stage, and was extremely embarrassed.
Dong Ping also sighed and said: "Big official, brother, I have been recruited by the imperial court, what kind of goods these officials are, brother, I know it well." Stay in the court, and you have to be careful every step of the way, otherwise you don't know how to die. It's better to be in Hedong, you and my brother are self-contained, fighting against gold alone, and being at ease, wouldn't it be happy?"
Everyone was shocked, Niu Gao quickly stood up, walked to the window, observed for a while, and then returned to his seat.
"Two brothers, the wall has ears, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth!"
Niu Gao said angrily in a low voice: "You two don't try to speak quickly, if you let others listen, Xianggong will be in trouble, be cautious!"
He is the oldest, and after some words, although Dong Ping and Zhang Heng were dissatisfied, they could only agree.
"Two brothers, the big officials have their own ideas, otherwise he wouldn't let Deng Hei face go back to Taihang Mountain first and preside over the overall situation."
Zhang Xian saw that Dong Ping and the others were depressed, and persuaded in a low voice: "The water in Tokyo City is muddy, let's be careful every step of the way, don't be caught by the big turban, and make it difficult for the prime minister."
Wang Song is in a high position, he is the glory and wealth and future of everyone, and he is also the backing of the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army.
Wang Song sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "What the brothers said is the truth. However, there are times when you can't help yourself and you have to learn to adapt. Fortunately, the official family treats the brothers well, so let's be patient for a while. ”
Since coming to Bianliang City, the emperor has treated him well, and he has also been rewarded for his meritorious treatment of his generals, and Zhao Huan has treated him like this, and he can only die to repay the king.
Although after being reborn, the idea of rebellion and going it alone once appeared, but now, he could not find such a reason.
Zhai nodded and said, "I think when Erlang and I were in Daxindian, where did I think that we could have today." Now it's a high-ranking official, and everything is like a dream!"
He is the only one here, who dares to call Wang Song Erlang, because the two know each other in a humble way, and they were born and died. And Wang Song came from later generations, and there was no concept of hierarchy.
"Zhai Xiaoguan, all of this is all done by everyone with their lives!"
Wang Song picked up the wine, and the two of them touched it and drank it all.
Zhang Heng said regretfully: "I think when we first met, Dong Ping and I were not convinced, and we gave Xianggong a beating. The original 1,500 loyal and righteous brothers are now only about 300 left, and there are more disabled people than all the people, so it's uncomfortable to think about it!"
"Who says it isn't!"
Dong Ping said with emotion: "There are only more than 100 old brothers on the mountain, and the remaining hundreds of people are all disabled.
Wang Song was silent, he stood up, picked up a bowl of wine, and said: "This bowl of wine, let's pay tribute to the dead brothers, I wish them all the best, and never suffer again in the next life!"
And they all stood up and sprinkled their wine on the ground together.
Everyone sat down again, and Wang Song said: "Dong Ping, the bereavement silver taels of the brothers who died in the battle have been arranged, you can arrange it and send them back, which can be regarded as a little comfort to the family." Zhang Heng, when you have time to go back, bring more good wine and meat, the things that are scarce on the mountain also make the brothers on the mountain lively!"
Dong Ping and Zhang Heng hurriedly agreed.
Wang Song was about to continue speaking, when a noise sounded outside, quite loud, as if there had been a quarrel. Wang Song pushed open the window, and everyone looked outside together.
In the lobby, a group of people dressed as family members surrounded a group of soldiers, and a few people in brocade clothes stood aside, squinting at everything that was happening in the hall.
"A bunch of nasty thieves are worthy of eating and drinking here, grab your things, get out, don't dirty the place! Look at your dogs, is this where you came from?"
The leader was a young man dressed in brocade clothes and squirrel, and said menacingly.
A short and stout man stepped forward, walked to the seat of a soldier, leaned up, spit out a mouthful of phlegm on a plate of dishes, and cursed in his mouth: "A group of pigs and dogs are not as good as things, and they deserve to eat such good things!"
A soldier blushed, stood up with a "Teng", and said loudly: "Why can't we eat here, we have silver, and we don't eat and drink for nothing, why drive us away, there is such a reason in the world?"
"Why?"
The young man in brocade clothes put away the folding fan, stood up, pointed to the soldier in front of him and said, "Even with your filthy thing, you dare to ask why!" Get out of here, and I won't smell you. If you don't leave, I will arrest you in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion and let you know how good you are at playing the board!"
The family who spit in the dish just now flattered: "Donkey, just let the people from Kaifeng Mansion arrest them directly, what are you talking about with them, Dong Bantou's people are outside!"
Zhang Heng looked at it, and couldn't help but let out a "huh", and then his face sank.
"It seems to be Xu Hu and them, why did they come here to eat?"
Dong Ping saw that those people humiliated Xu Hu and others like this, and he was furious, and he was about to attack on the spot.
"Big official, you ordered, the villain used to teach these dogs a lesson!"
Zhang Xian shook his head and said, "Brother Dong, don't be impatient, these guys seem to be specially picking." It seems that my loyal army is in Bianliang City, which is very obstructive to the eyes of some people! ”
Wang Song looked at the scene not far away, nodded and said, "Calm down, take a look first."
The leading soldier is also a bar, hot-tempered, young and vigorous, he can't get off the stage in front of people, so he simply sat down and said: "I won't leave, I will pay for dinner, it is righteous, no one can drive me away!"
Seeing the horse's face turned blue, the spitting short and sturdy man pulled out his knife, and slashed it with a "swish", and scolded in his mouth: "Thief, dare to talk to the captain of the horse like this, you are really tired of this fight!"
The soldier was taken aback, dodged backwards, and dodged, but his shoulder smacked.
The soldier's shoulder was dripping with blood, and with an "oops" sound, he covered his shoulder, and the soldier next to him stepped forward, supported his comrades, and opened his eyes angrily, staring at the wicked person in front of him.
"A bunch of thieves with an army!"
The horse shook the folding fan lightly, and snorted coldly in his mouth: "I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin, now I know it's amazing, why don't you hurry up!"
A gentleman in his 30s, with a handsome face and a round-necked brocade robe, wanted to persuade so as not to make things bigger. He stood up and whispered to the "concubine": "Cao concubine, today I am here to relax and appreciate Zheng Xingshou's singing and dancing, why bother to be like these rough people!"
He turned his head, his face was indifferent, and he said aloud to the soldiers: "You wait to leave quickly, this is the captain of the horse, but a relative of the emperor, are you still waiting for him to call the people of Kaifeng Mansion and throw you and others into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion?"
As soon as they heard the word "horse", the soldiers all looked at each other. The emperor's son-in-law, how can these grass-headed soldiers be provoked? Including the leading soldiers, everyone stood up one by one and helped the wounded soldiers to walk out.
He looked at the blood dripping on the ground, frowned, instructed the family to block the way of the soldiers, and said contemptuously: "If you want to leave, you can leave it, leave the silver taels on your body, and give the horse a few more heads, and forget about this matter!"
Everyone eating in the lobby was silent, and the hall was silent, looking at the soldiers in the middle.
Several wealthy businessmen dressed in fancy clothes also complained to the soldiers: "You thieves with the army, quickly put down the silver taels, slap your head at the horses, and get out quickly, so as not to stain this place and sweep everyone's Yaxing!"
A few ignorant ruffians also followed and coaxed, laughing and saying, "Thieves with troops, quickly put down the silver and kowtow!" Otherwise, if you offend the horse, you will be imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion!"
As soon as a soldier's legs were weak, he was about to kneel, and the leading soldier glared at him: "What are you doing, have you forgotten what the big officials said, except for the Son of Heaven, kneel to the sky and kneel to the parents." Do you want to disobey military orders? ”
The soldier's face turned pale, and he subconsciously straightened up. The soldiers put down the silver on their bodies, and the leading soldier said, "Horses, the silver has been left for you, please raise your noble hands and let us go, and the brothers will go to defend the city, so please let us go!"
The colt sneered, nodded and said, "It's okay to let you go, since you don't want to kneel, then everyone can slap themselves ten times." If you don't do it again, don't blame this horse for being unkind!"
The short and sturdy man who had slashed the soldier just now also shouted loudly: "Thief soldier, hurry up, slap yourself, otherwise the horse will not spare you!"
The soldiers were all flushed. The leader of the soldiers gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Donkey, what you say counts?"
"This pony is what he says!"
The horse was arrogant and sneered: "This horse is not in the mood to entangle with you rough people here, hurry up, don't delay the business of this horse!"
The handsome man beside the colt looked at the crowd and shook the folding fan gently, his expression indescribably chic.
"Fan!"
Watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, and many ignorant views around have been coaxed.
The leader of the soldiers looked at the crowd of onlookers, his face flushed, he gritted his teeth, raised his palm, and slammed it into his face.
