Chapter 269: Wontons
"Beheading, too? Impossible! That is to say, as long as the place occupied by the thieves has to be killed, how many people must be killed. When pigs fly. Zhan Dawei shook his head, completely disagreeing with the unbelievable statement of the stone pillar.
"To be honest, I don't want that to happen either. All we ordinary people want is a peaceful life, and we don't have to pay taxes for whoever is the emperor? But now it's time to recruit and provoke whom, and to suffer this calamity. Shi Zhu said with a sigh.
"Who says it's not, if it weren't for this thief making trouble, where would I have to think about these troubles now?" Zhan Dawei agreed with the stone pillar very approvingly, and then waved his hand as if he thought of something scruples and said: "Hey, don't say it, anyway, things are like this, and we ordinary people can only resign ourselves to fate, take one step at a time..."
"Dawei! That being said, but if you think about it, the bandit army is at least doing a good job now. Since the city was broken, not only did it not disturb the people, but it also continued to transport grain into the city to lower the price of grain, and sent troops to suppress the small and punish the evil and eliminate the evil. These are much stronger than the dog officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Shizhu said.
"That's not bad if you say that. Although this bandit army is said to be anti-thieves, it is indeed better than officers and soldiers... More... More officers and soldiers. If we let those dog officers and soldiers of the imperial court come in, we don't know what it will be like to be plagued. Zhan Dawei nodded in agreement.
"But no, you also know what virtues those dog Qing soldiers have, and they have done less by slaughtering the city through war? I heard others say that this Qinggou used to slaughter 800,000 of us in Yangzhou in one go. ”
"800,000, not pigs or sheep. Therefore, if the bandit army occupying Jiangning Mansion is defeated now, we will suffer a great crime, and I really can't imagine what kind of situation we will face with the temperament of the dog and the Tartar. Shi Zhu took a sip of hot water and suppressed his voice and said.
"Eight hundred thousand? It's true? My God..."Hearing this number, Zhan Dawei couldn't help but gasp and be shocked.
"It's... This... Impossible! Zhan Dawei questioned in disbelief, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.
"How could it be, these were recorded with blood and tears by those who crawled out of the pile of dead people. In order not to let others know about these things, the dog Tartars also tried their best to kill them all, if someone hadn't taken the book and hid in the Wa Kingdom, who would have known their crimes. Shi Zhu spoke with a rare anger.
"This Qing dog has loved slaughtering the city for a long time. So, nothing is impossible. ”
"In this way, I hope this thief can win the court." Zhan Dawei didn't know how to pick up the stone pillar, so he had to mumble to himself.

"Here we are, ravioli." Shi Zhu wanted to say something, but at this time, he saw the wonton boss shouting and walking over with two bowls of wontons on a serving plate.
"Second master, your wontons are ready, please use them slowly." The wonton stall owner said after setting up the wontons in front of the two.
"Hmm... Thanksgiving boss. Shi Zhu said politely, then picked up two pairs of chopsticks inserted in the bamboo tube in the middle of the table, and divided them into a pair.
"You're welcome, you use it slowly." The wonton boss replied with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to turn to leave, the hat on top of his head suddenly fell off and covered his eyes. The wonton boss hurriedly reached out and held his hat, which looked a little funny.
Seeing this, Shi Zhu couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Boss, why are you wearing a hat bigger than your head, isn't it very troublesome to fall off all the time?" ”
"Hehe, I smiled. My hat used to be suitable, but I recently cut the braids that used to be on my head, so it's a little longer. But it's okay, just wait a few days for the hair on your head to grow longer, and save you another hat. The wonton boss said and lifted his hat, showing the light and short hair that had grown on his head and showing the two of them.
"What, boss, you cut your braids too?" Shi Zhu asked with a little excitement.
"Don't cut it! If you want to say that this Wang Shi is good at everything, it is that this braid tax is too heavy. I didn't make much money as a vendor, and if I pay that pigtail tax, where will I have any money left. The wonton boss sighed and said:
"But! If you don't have this braid tax, life can be much more comfortable, so why not cut it? ”
"You cut your braids, aren't you afraid that the soldiers and horses of the court will cut off your head after they come?" Zhan asked curiously.
"I'm not afraid of jokes, it's fake to say I'm not afraid. But it's sad not to cut life! Besides, don't the soldiers and horses of the Manchu Dynasty keep being chased and beaten by Wang Shi! Since ancient times, the Hu people have no national fortune for a hundred years, and it is difficult to say whether they can fight back. And ah! Everyone else has cut it, why don't I cut it. If I have to have a knife horizontally and vertically at that time, I will also take the knife and go to fight with the dog Qingbing. So many people are still afraid that they won't be able to do the Tartars? The wonton boss talked and analyzed, and nodded again and again when he heard it.
"It's not bad if you want to say that, if you really want to cut off my head, I will have to fight with them. Are you still stupidly standing there and letting them behead? Isn't that stupid? Zhan Dawei said.
"Ye is so right. I see that this new court is very good now. Not to mention the division of land and land, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes were abolished, and even forced labor was exempted. How have there ever been such good things in all dynasties? It is said that this Han king is a Han person, and what is also facing us Han people, I think it is also. The wonton boss suddenly sighed.
"That's a good thing you want to say." Zhan Dawei agreed again.
"yes. That's why I said, why don't we want this new court to last long? Do you still expect the Qing soldiers and Tartars to come back again and make a fortune on us? The wonton boss said a little excitedly, although Zhan Dawei didn't say anything, he nodded subconsciously.
"Boss, you still don't sell ravioli. I'm dying of hunger, so why don't I hurry up and get a bowl of wontons. A voice called out loudly. Everyone looked over, but it was a Xiucai who didn't know when he sat in at the table next to him.
"Dare to talk about the court, I really want to find death. This court has not been defeated yet, and this group of lowly ant people dare to cut their braids for a little bit of petty profit, waiting for the court to cut off their heads. This braid is something left by the ancestors, and it was cut off by the thief in a flash, which is simply shameless. Xiucai thought secretly in his heart.
"Here it is, here it is. I'm sorry, the two masters eat slowly, I'll get busy first. The wonton boss, who was still thinking of bragging about it again, had to apologize to the two of them after hearing this, and then immediately went to order the wontons.
Looking at the boss who was making wontons, Xiucai couldn't help but have a look of disgust on his face. As everyone knows, the guests at the other tables who want to continue to listen to the wonton owner also show disgusted expressions towards him.
