Chapter 91: Old Things (3)
was so outspoken, Chen Kai spoke like this, and everyone present was stunned. But if you look at that look again, it is clear that he is slowly confident, as if as long as he says "I, Chen Kai, make money", the Wanjia brothers will not hesitate to give all the inventory with both hands, which is really unclear.
Before Wan Li could speak to the monk, Wan Yi, who was sitting at the bottom of his hand, snorted coldly: "The surname of the country, our brothers know, and that is also the number one person in our Fujian." But Shu is shallow, and he doesn't remember that the surname of the country has captured the city of Zhangzhou, but you don't know where it came from? ”
Wan Yi was impatient, and there was inevitably some guns and sticks in his words, Wan Li and the monk couldn't help frowning, but they didn't wait for them to speak, Chen Kai smiled, and then said: "It seems that the official is too big." It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't know the official, it's enough to know the surname of the country. Now that the surname of the country is gaining momentum in Chaozhou, this official is here to be a lobbyist. ”
Lobbyist, it's not that the Wanjia brothers haven't seen it. The Ming court back then, and the current Qing court, also sent people to lobby them. After a few times, the Wanjia brothers have also found a routine, nothing more than a mouth to intimidate them with a catastrophe, first scared them into a big shock, and then began to boast about how the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers or how the Manchurian Eight Banners were, the intimidation ended, and then the chief official, or the prefect, or the prefect, or the military guard, or the governor still have a heart for them, anyway, the back and forth is nothing more than to change some words and names.
Chen Kai's words are very fresh, but this attitude makes them very unnatural. Not to mention, this lobbying, the slightest bit of rhetorical skills are not exquisite, and they are stunned to poke the topic over and let them make a choice, making it like an ultimatum, not to mention that it is all right, and others are inevitably a little unhappy
After all, Zheng Chenggong is also a big man in southern Fujian, and his generals are like clouds and tens of thousands of soldiers, even if it doesn't work this time, it's not good to offend his people.
However, it seems that this God doesn't plan to let him open his mouth today, and before he can think of what to say, Wan Li asked Chen Kai: "This Chen Tongzhi, is he here to persuade me to surrender?" ”
"It's just that there is no attitude of wooing."
"Grandma's, even if it is persuasion, there must be an explanation. There is no benefit in this way, which shows that there is no sincerity! ”
“……”
Everyone here, as soon as you say a word, I say a word, and the solemn hall will be transformed into a vegetable market. However, in the midst of this group of men who were shouting and drinking, Chen Kai was still standing there, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that had not faded, but it was like a plate of ice water poured on Wanli's head without any scruples.
"Come on, take a seat for Chen Tongzhi. We are all rural villagers, and I hope Chen Tongzhi will forgive us. ”
As soon as Wanli said this, everyone present was stunned. But when he turned his head and thought about it, Chen Kai didn't seem to say anything too much when he entered the door, but they were holding on to this attitude endlessly, which seemed to be a little less polite.
The Taishi chair was delivered, Chen Kai returned the salute, and sat on it with a big grin. glanced at everyone's expressions before smiling and said, "This general is right, this official really didn't bring any benefits this time." The official listened to Lin General talk about the righteousness of the brothers of the Wan family, and probably he would not look down on any vulgar things, but now it seems that the official is thinking too much. ”
One sentence choked everyone up, and Chen Kai said to Wan Li, the leader of these people, because in his opinion, these eighteen people bowed, and the real decision was this Wan Li, and no matter how much they said to others, it was just nonsense after all.
"If you are in Zhangnan, you should know a little about Chaozhou. The national surname is now crisscrossing Chaozhou, half a year, chasing Xu Long, descending Yang Hu, Zhu Yao is attached to him, and Huang Hai is like a negative Jing to vote, even if it is Wu Liuqi, in front of the army of the national surname, he is only a lost dog. To put it plainly, the recovery of Chaozhou is just between Sumeru, and the next is the land of Fujian and Guangdong, which is this half of the country. This official is here just to point out a bright road to you, what choice to make, it is your own business, what does it have to do with me, I need this official to give you gifts? ”
Chen Kai's domineering side leakage is clearly based on Zheng Chenggong's current power as the background. Wan Li and the others are in the mountains and forests, and they are still a little vague about Chen Kai's name, but Zheng Chenggong won the water dividing pass, and his subordinate Ke Chenshu intercepted and killed the Qing army in Zhao'an County, but he has long heard it, as long as he sends someone to inquire a little in the county, he can know Zheng Chenggong's current momentum, even if he still doesn't know much about the details.
This paragraph, said it freely, Chen Kai continued to maintain that smile, just sitting there, the hall was no longer as noisy. Where there is silence, breath can be heard.
Without that clutter, even the whispers no longer exist, some are just everyone's eyes are constantly intertwined, and their expressions are constantly changing, as if there are really radio waves shooting out in this eye, which also makes Chen Kai have a new expectation of the limits of the human body.
"You don't need that, I didn't ask you for an answer today. Anyway, I've said it, so you can think about it slowly. If you are interested, send someone to Nanao Island to find the official, or go directly to the Chaozhou Mansion to find the surname of the country, report the name of the official, and someone will entertain you. ”
After that, Chen Kai stood up, bowed his hand, and turned around to come out, looking as if he was really going to leave here, and the people present were stunned again.
"Chen Tongzhi, I really need time to discuss before I can reply, please wait a few days, and let me wait for the opportunity to do my best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."
Buying and selling is not benevolent, and it is always right to have a good relationship. Wan Li hurriedly stood up and said something to stay, Chen Kai turned his head to look at them, but he left a sentence "There are too many mosquitoes in the mountains, and this official is not used to it", so he really took Lin Dezhong to the outside of the main hall.
"Big brother, why be so polite to such a crazy life?"
Chen Kai left the main hall, his figure gradually drifted away, Wan Lu asked loudly, and the rest of the people all agreed, but Wan Li and the monk were still looking at the direction Chen Kai left, with a frown.
"Crazy? Do you really think that's a madman? ”
"Fifth brother?"
"Old five?"
Everyone was puzzled, the monk shook his head, and then smiled: "I don't know who that person is, but it's not as simple as a madman. This person is playing tricks and luring us to follow his rhythm. ”
The monk's voice fell, and Wan Li nodded, but what he was thinking about was not just something that was tricky, but whether it was really under Zheng Chenggong's command.
Not to mention, they have accumulated for many years, and now they are only controlling the three areas of the two capitals, and the failure of attacking Zhangpu is in front of them, but Zheng Chenggong's side is like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves in the south of Chaozhou, and the judgment is made. Taking advantage of Zheng Chenggong's strength now, the more than 2,000 of them will always have a background, but if they wait any longer, the stronger Zheng Chenggong's strength is, the less weight they will have in this little bit of people.
Wan Li pondered, but a brother suddenly remembered something, but subconsciously shook his head. However, this scene was still noticed by Wan Li, but the answer obtained was an absurd reverie.
"I heard that the surname of the country was able to take Chaozhou, because of the strength of a man surnamed Chen to join the army. Wasn't that person just now also a member of the army, and his surname was Chen, could it be that person? ”
"What a joke!"
The man said timidly, but he was not very confident, and when Wanyi heard it, he should deny it. Not to mention anything else, it is rumored that the soldier under Zheng Chenggong was a person who directly entered the town mansion from Guangji Bridge, and he unloaded Che Renzhong's head with a pull of both hands. This kind of rhetoric is an exaggeration, I am afraid that he should also be a character with extremely strong martial arts, but just now, it is clear that he is a well-mannered scholar, without any martial arts foundation, how can it be.
It was already afternoon, and after talking, they dispersed. Until nightfall, Chen Kai had hurried to the inn in Guanpi Town, and was about to rest, when he heard the leader surnamed Dong rush over, saying that he was catching up with Lin Dezhong, and was sent to the wing room by Chen Kai.
"He's here to find out what we're doing."
"Join the army, so what should I do?"
Tell him what he wants to know. What are we afraid of? Saying that, Chen Kai smiled slightly, and then asked Lin Dezhong: "Remember one thing, set out the monk's background, this is your task today." As for me, go to bed first, I heard that Zhang Liao's breakfast in Guanpi Town tastes good, and I can't sleep well. ”
Chen Kai went back to his room to sleep, and it was dawn when he slept, and when he got up in the morning, Lin Dezhong didn't sleep, but the Dong brother who talked with him all night had long since disappeared.
This is exactly the effect Chen Kai needs, so he simply left the inn and went to the town to find the Liao family's breakfast shop. However, this Guanpi town is a strange place, most of the people in the town are surnamed Zhang, and they are not only surnamed Zhang, they can be surnamed Zhang, they can also be surnamed Liao, and even surnamed Zhang Liao, all of them are a family of "one heir and two mysteries" passed down by "Zhang Gong Liao's mother". As a result, Chen Kai turned around all morning and ate three servings of breakfast before finally figuring things out.
"I knew it was the alley, it would have saved me lunch."
When Chen Kai was still worried about the unique culture of this town, in Changlin Temple, Lu Ruoteng had already packed his bags and set off here with his brothers, nephews, servants, and family members.
At the time of parting, the bonus was indispensable, but this "Lu Bodhisattva" did not take it, and only said that they should take the silver and buy more weapons. After a while, maybe he will come to contact them to send troops and fight the Qing army again.
"I don't dare to ask for it."
Resisting the Qing Dynasty is a more important thing for them than resisting grain and taxes, especially for Wanli, who is the leader. The bonus was not collected, but the escort did not refuse, and they simply sent Lu Ruoteng and his party all the way down the mountain, fulfilling the courtesy.
"Daozong, you mean, yesterday a person named Chen Kai came to woo you to vote for the national surname?"
"yes, Shangshu, what's wrong?"
The Wanjia brothers looked puzzled, but Lu Ruoteng's face changed several colors in an instant, and then he asked Wanli to take him to chase Chen Kai, and even his hometown in Kinmen did not plan to return.
"Shangshu, what does that person do, it matters so much?"
Wan Li asked tentatively, but Lu Ruoteng pointed at their noses and nodded them one by one, before he said that he hated iron but not steel.
"With all due respect, although your brother is stationed in this temple, he has no eyesight at all. What kind of person is Chen Kai, you treat him slowly, it is because you have eyes and don't know the real Arhat! ”
