Chapter 51: An Unexpected Crisis (2)
There were a few chuckles in the room.
Seeing that Kong Jian's face was like a pig's liver at the moment, the Luyang Township Marquis and Liu Jian were quite relieved in their hearts.
"This second son...... Is it so sharp?'
Liu Wei turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yu, really surprised in his heart.
You must know that Zhao Yu is very polite in front of him, which makes Liu Wei feel that the Hou of Luyang Township is very strict with his family education many times, but what he never expected is that this second son scolded people, but he was so sharp.
At this time, that Kong Jian finally took a breath, pointed at Zhao Yu and scolded back: "Little cub, do you know that you are talking?!" ”
When the Marquis of Luyang frowned, Zhao Yu sneered and asked, "Who is the little cub scolding?" ”
"Cub ......"
I have to say that Kong Jian is also a talented and agile person, as soon as he said two words, he noticed the trap in Zhao Yu's words, and said with a cold snort: "He is really sharp-toothed, and he is worthy of being the son of Zhao Xianghou." …… Boy, you know that I am the county guard of Nanyang, and I dare to humiliate like this, it is simply lawless and uncourtable......"
Zhao Yu's reaction was also very fast, and when he saw that Kong Jian was going to buckle his hat, he immediately sneered: "Do you still know that you are the county guard of Nanyang?" Kong Wenju, what did the imperial court send you to do this time? Yes? On the same day, you mentioned that the imperial court appointed you as the county guard of Nanyang in order to restore the county governance of Nanyang and restore the prosperity and stability of Nanyang County to the past, and what are you doing? Has Wannan recovered? Has Wanbei recovered? The counties of Nanyang are still in dire straits, and you can't fulfill your duties as a county guard, but you instigate General Wang, trying to take revenge on my father and Luyang County by the hand of General Wang. ”
"You ......"
Kong Jian was once again speechless by Zhao Yu, and after a while, he reprimanded him arrogantly: "This official has his own considerations, and it is not your turn to point fingers." ”
Hearing this, Liu Wei immediately stood up to cheer for Zhao Yu: "Oh? Then I wonder if Kong Junshou can inform Liu of your considerations? I, Luyang, is also a county of Nanyang County, and Liu is quite concerned about how Master Kong will restore the governance of Nanyang County. ”
"Liu Wei ......"
Kong Jian looked at Liu Jian with a calm face, he was also full of jealousy of the latter, who let Liu Jian serve as the county magistrate of Luyang County now?
And compared with when he was the county magistrate, people often scolded him behind his back, but this Liu Jian was well-known in Luyang County, and the whole county called him Liu Gong - this is a treatment that Kong Jian never received back then.
Taking a deep breath, Kong Jian rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Peng Yong, who was kneeling in the seat and drinking tea, and instigated: "General Peng, you have also seen that these people are so rude, they don't take their subordinates in their eyes at all, and they don't take General Wang and General Peng in their eyes at all......"
At this time, Peng Yong was staring at Zhao Yu with great interest, and when he heard Kong Jian sowing discord, he said with a smile: "Master Kong, you say that you want to involve General Wang in everything, although Peng Mou came with you, and he really hopes to borrow a sum of money and food, but ......" He shook his head and reiterated again: "Don't involve General Wang in everything." ”
Hearing this, Liu Wei, Luyang Xianghou and others knew in their hearts: It seems that Wang Shangde's people are not unaware of Kong Jian's evil intentions, but they only care about whether they can get money and food from Luyang, and they don't care about the grievances between Kong Jian and Luyang County.
I have to say that this is a great luck in misfortune, at least Wang Shangde did not make it clear that he wanted to help Kong Jian.
Regarding Peng Yong's remarks, although Kong Jian was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, so he could only nod his head resignedly.
Looking at his obedient appearance, Zhao Yu sneered and sneered: "It's really a loyal and obedient family dog." ”
Everyone in the room laughed a few times when they heard this, and even Peng Yong used the action of drinking tea to hide the inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, trying not to let everyone see it.
It can be seen that this Peng Yong may not be able to afford Kong Jian.
"Sharp-toothed children...... I won't see you today. ”
Kong Jian glared at Zhao Yu hatefully, then took a deep breath, looked at Liu Wei and Luyang Xianghou and said in a deep voice: "Liu County Order, Zhao Xianghou, as far as Kong said, do you Luyang agree or not?" Please inform Kong, Kong is good to return to General Wang. ”
Hearing this, Peng Yong also turned his head to look over, he didn't care about the grievances between Kong Jian, Liu Jian and the Marquis of Luyang, and he didn't want to interfere, but at this moment, he was still quite concerned about the money and food mentioned by Kong Jian.
Speaking of which, this Kong Jian is indeed smart and cunning, he saw that Zhao Yu, who was not very sharp-toothed, and he didn't want to compete with a child, so he simply brought it up again, and used the name of Wang Shangde to oppress Liu Xuan, Luyang Xianghou and others.
When he returned to Luyang County a few days ago, he had already made careful inquiries and knew that Luyang County was hoarding a batch of money and grain for the relief of refugees in the territory, and if Liu Wei and Luyang Township Marquis were forced to agree under his coercion today, then Luyang County would not be able to provide relief through work, and it would naturally be a revolt of refugees.
At the same time, he could also impeach Liu Wei to the imperial court by the way, and deduct the latter for a crime of failing to govern the people.
And if Liu Jian and the Marquis of Luyang refuse to pay money and grain to Wang Shangde, it will be even better, Kong Jian has seen that Wang Shangde in recent days, and he knows very well that Wang Shangde is the kind of person who says the same, if Luyang County dares to refuse that Wang General, it will be a big disaster!
All in all, no matter whether Liu Wei and the Marquis of Luyang agree or not, then Kong Jian is sure to deal with the two.
『…… I'll teach this open-mouthed little brute a lesson.'"
Glancing at Zhao Yu who was standing beside him, Kong Jian's eyes flashed a little ruthless.
At this time, as Kong Jian guessed, Liu Wei and the Marquis of Luyang also fell into a dilemma.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu thought for a while, and interjected with a smile: "Father, Liu Gong, General Wang and General Peng Yong, for us to resist the attack of the rebels in the front, today General Peng Yong came to my Luyang, came to my township Hou Mansion, no matter whether my Luyang has the ability to borrow money and food from General Wang, at least I should prepare wine and food, so that I can entertain General Peng Yong, how can I let General Peng drink tea here?" ”
"The second son wants to delay?"
Liu Wei immediately guessed Zhao Yu's intentions, and said to the Luyang townsman with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's still the second son's courtesy, townsman, how can you be so lazy?" ”
The Marquis of Luyang is also a smart person, and he reacted immediately, and while asking Cao Ju to instruct the kitchen to prepare wine and food, he hugged his fists and said to Peng Yong: "It's really rude, fortunately, Xiao'er mentioned ......."
Seeing this, Peng Yong replied flatly: "Actually, there is no need, Peng Mou came this time, and he didn't dare to ......."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the inquiry of the Luyang townsman: "I don't know if General Peng is good at drinking?" In Xiaohou's mansion, there are still some wines left by my father when he was alive, and it has been more than 20 years since I counted them. ”
"More than twenty years?"
Peng Yong, who was still ready to politely refuse, couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he heard the words.
Immediately, he also realized his gaffe, and said with a hearty smile: "Haha, let you see the smile, don't hide it from you, whether it is General Wang or Peng, or several other colleagues in the army, they really can't refuse the wine." As he spoke, he hugged his fists: "That...... It's bothered. ”
Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang and Liu Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but Kong Jian, who was on the side, was anxious, and said on the side: "General Peng, the business that General Wang explained is important!" ”
"......" Peng Yong glanced at Kong Jian, although he didn't speak, he could see that he was very unhappy.
At this time, Liu Wei said with a smile: "Kong Junshou, although the business explained by General Wang is urgent, he is not in a hurry, right?" How long can I eat a meal with alcohol? ”
Although Peng Yong still didn't speak, his smile and nodding were enough to show his attitude.
Seeing this, Kong Jian had no choice, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's just follow your wishes, I want to see, what can you toss out of a meal?" ”
Seeing that this guy didn't stop, Zhao Yu chuckled and said, "Kong Wenju, my father invited General Peng to a banquet, but he didn't say that he would invite you." Oh yes, you bring your own dry food......"
"You ......"
"How?" Facing Kong Jian's gaze, Zhao Yu chuckled and said, "Didn't you bring enough dry food for yourself?" Then go find your own food, and you won't give it away. ”
From the side, Liu Wei and the Marquis of Luyang glanced at each other, and from Zhao Yu's seemingly childlike behavior, they could see the latter's true intention - to break up Kong Jian.
There are many advantages to supporting Kong Jian, for example, they can test Wang Shangde's true attitude to Peng Yong, judging from Peng Yong's words and deeds, this general has a bold personality, and it is naturally easier to get along with Kong Jian.
As for whether driving Kong Jian out of the mansion will offend the other party again, this kind of question Liu Jian and Luyang Xianghou don't even want to think about - they have already offended to death, what else can they do?
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Luyang said indifferently to Kong Jian: "Although my son's speech is rough, he is right, there are drinks and dishes to entertain honored guests in my house, but there are no drinks and dishes to entertain evil guests, Kong Junshou, please." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng walked to Kong Jian's side, raised their hands and said, "Kong Junshou, please." ”
"You ......"
Kong Jian stared at everyone viciously, and then turned his head to Peng Yong and said, "General Peng, they deliberately support Kong, there must be bad intentions...... General Peng must not fall for their tricks! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu laughed and mocked: "In order to slander his father, Kong Junshou really spared no effort, and eating a meal can be said to be a trick, hard work......"
Kong Jian sneered when he heard this: "Xiao'er, don't think that the old man doesn't know, you deliberately proposed to invite General Peng to a banquet, and you deliberately split Kong, just to get the attitude of General Wang from General Peng's mouth...... Hmph, do you think I'm going to let you get away with it?! ”
"Huh." Zhao Yu smiled slightly.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng came to the outside of the mansion with Kong Jian in their arms, and pushed the latter outside the mansion.
"Kong Junshou, you just wait here first, and when the house runs out of wine and food, I will notify you when the time comes."
Dropping a sentence, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng slammed the door of the mansion.
“……”
Kong Jian was so angry that he clenched his hands into fists and trembled.
