Chapter 14: Zhou Jiande

After two incense sticks, Bai Mingzhe was "invited" to a two-story wooden restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, only about 100 square meters, and after entering, he was "invited" to the second floor by a group of people.

Immediately afterwards, the entire restaurant was blocked by this group of soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Bai Mingzhe knelt on a hard cushion, across a desk, and across from him sat a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy hugging two beautiful women on his left and right.

Knowing that the enemy does not move, I do not move, he remained silent and did not say a word.

The young man seemed to be accustomed to this kind of performance, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Heh, wasn't he quite eloquent just now? How dumb. ”

The calm was suddenly broken, Bai Mingzhe smiled indifferently, did not give up, and asked directly: "Dare to ask who you are?" What is the relationship with Pingqu Hou? ”

The young man grabbed a handful of cooked and peeled mushrooms from the table, threw them into his mouth at once, and then shouted, "The young master is the grandson of the Marquis of Jiang, the nephew of the Marquis of Tiao, the son of the Marquis of Pingqu, Zhou Jiande!" ”

One person is involved with three marquis, this is no longer an ordinary son-in-law.

Although the Marquis of Jiang and the Marquis of Tiao have died, their influence in the army has not diminished in the slightest.

Especially at the beginning, Zhou Bo ascended to the heights, led the northern army to pacify Zhulu, let Chang'an blood flow into a river, and supported Emperor Wen A series of legends are still circulating in the downtown area of Chang'an.

Although the person in front of him was not a descendant of the Zhou family, Bai Mingzhe was extremely jealous.

If I am not mistaken, since Zhou Yafu died and his son Zhou Yang's whereabouts are unknown, in the third generation of the Zhou family, except for this guy named Zhou Jiande, there are no other descendants!

In other words, if Bai Mingzhe suddenly broke out and gave Zhou Jiande a knife here, the Zhou family would be temporarily extinct! As for whether it is thorough, it depends on whether Pingquhou can give it or not, and whether he can make a son again.

In line with the principle that a minute can be delayed, Bai Mingzhe put his hands on his knees and said slowly: "Childe called me here, what is the matter?"

"You took something that shouldn't be taken, that thing is very important to a friend of the master, I hope you hand it over." Zhou Jiande didn't beat around the bush at all, and went straight to the point, "In addition, I heard that you still hold the book "The Art of War", and the master also wants to borrow it. ”

He grabbed a handful of mushrooms again and pretended to throw them generously at Bai Mingzhe.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, the round mushroom stained Bai Mingzhe's body.

"Boy, as long as you hand over the Seal of Xunzi and the Art of War, the master promises to let you leave this restaurant safely. Otherwise, hum ......" Zhou Jiande did not explain the consequences of resisting, but the killing intent in his eyes was already obvious.

If you don't say it, you die!

"I'm afraid this will disappoint the child, the villain doesn't have "The Art of War", as for the seal of Xunzi, I did win a seal from a dog just now, I don't know if what you are talking about is it."

Bai Mingzhe smiled slightly, and took out the seal of the embroidered imperial history that was similar in size to the seal of Xunzi. Then with a "bang", it was buckled on the desk.

Because the seal of Xunzi and the seal of the embroidered imperial history are both covered with a layer of cloth, therefore, Zhou Jiande can't see the difference between the two at all.

Suddenly, behind the rolling shutter on the side, there was a rustling sound, and the roller shutter was also touched by abnormal movement, "Salad!" Salad! Ringing.

Glancing at the roller shutter vigilantly, Bai Mingzhe didn't bother to sit on his knees, leaned back directly, pressed his two hands on the ground to support his body, and mocked, "It turns out that the dog is also there, no wonder." ”

He twisted his head, looked at the roller blinds, sneered, and shouted: "Lu Bushu, don't hide, Lao Tzu knows that you are also there!"

Lu Bushu walked out from behind the curtain with a smile and praised hypocritically, "Your hearing is good, but it's a pity that you offended someone who shouldn't be offended." Originally, you and I could have become friends...... However, you have made me lose face in public, and this revenge has to be avenged! ”

After he gave up his hand to Zhou Jiande, he then said to Bai Mingzhe: "As long as you leave the seal of Xunzi and the Art of War, Zhou Gongzi will not trouble you for the time being." Otherwise, your life will not be saved! ”

"Really? Did you investigate my identity before you did anything to me? Bai Mingzhe tilted his head, smiled even brighter, and at the same time couldn't help but mourn for Zhou Jian for a second.

Zhou Jiande did this, did Zhou Jian know.

If he wasn't worried about the two dogs jumping off the wall in a hurry, he wouldn't have asked the chicken seller to inform Wei Qing.

What is the history of embroidery?

The Eastern Han Dynasty once said, "Do what you do, and there is no selfishness." ”

In Chang'an, it is good to say that if you are sent to the place, then when you go out, you must hold a scepter and embroider clothes. In case of emergency, you can directly mobilize the soldiers and horses of the county without the emperor's consent, and you can even reward and punish local officials.

"Hanshu Wang Xun Biography" once said, "At the end of Emperor Wu, the army was several, the thieves of the county and the country rose up, and the envoy of the embroidered clothes and the imperial history of the violent victory held an axe to catch the thieves, and engaged in the military prosperity, and punished less than 2,000 stones." ”

It can be said that most bureaucrats are too late to hide from themselves, and the guy named Zhou Jiande in front of him dares to come directly to the door.

Shooting at the embroidered royal history is tantamount to slapping Liu Che in the face.

This is a chicken giving a new year's greeting to a weasel, and wants to become an immortal as soon as possible?

You can't play like this if you want to die.

"Heh, is your identity important?" After Lu Bushu sneered, he complimented Zhou Jiande: "Zhou Gongzi is a famous family, his grandfather is the marquis of the ancestors, his middle father is the marquis of the first emperor, and his father is the marquis of the first emperor. You are a yellow-haired little two, how dare you compare with Brother Zhou? ”

Zhou Jiande clapped his hands excitedly, and the applause of "Papapa" resounded on the second floor of the entire tavern, "Hahahaha, well said!" Lu Bushu, your best friend! I know my heart! ”

Bai Mingzhe shook his head disdainfully, "Best friend? It's just a raccoon dog. The seal is here, do you dare to take it? ”

"Heh, why don't you dare?" Without waiting for Zhou Jiande to speak, Lu Bushu quickly rushed over and picked up the seal on the case.

He carefully opened the cloth that wrapped the seal, and the color of doubt on his forehead grew thicker and thicker.

"This seal is not mine!"

Playing cheating?

Zhou Jiande felt that he was humiliated, and pushed the two women beside him away, and suddenly became furious, "Dare to play tricks? Come! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Bang! A series of voices were heard going upstairs, and four armored soldiers appeared at the door.

Zhou Jiande pointed at Bai Mingzhe and said angrily: "Take this son down!" Bring it back and interrogate it well!! ”

"No!"

The four big men rushed up and directly pressed Bai Mingzhe to the ground.

Bai Mingzhe said unhurriedly: "Zhou Jiande, don't you take a closer look at that seal?" Perhaps, the words above will surprise you. ”

"Hmph, no!" Zhou Jiande snorted coldly.

Bai Mingzhe laughed evilly, "Really? You look at Lu Bushu's reaction, are you sure you don't want to take a look? ”

After being reminded, Zhou Jiande's gaze moved and stayed on Lu Bushu's body, his forehead furrowed, his eyebrows lowered, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Bushu, why is your face so pale?"

I don't know when, the blood on Lu Bushu's face has completely faded, replaced by a pale color that is whiter than white paper, he smiled bitterly, and the hand holding the seal trembled non-stop, "Zhou ...... Zhou Gongzi ...... We, like...... Got in trouble. ”

"What's going on?"

"This seal is not the seal of Xunzi, but the official seal of the embroidered imperial history!"

Zhou Jiande frowned, glanced at Bai Mingzhe on the ground, and said angrily: "Embroidered Imperial History, what kind of official is this?" A few hundred stones? I haven't heard of it! ”

Looking at the four soldiers who came in, he asked, "Lu Dazhong, have you ever heard of the imperial history of embroidered clothes?"

Lu Dazhong was the one who led people to surround Bai Mingzhe, he sighed and arched his hand and said: "Young master, the embroidered imperial history is a kind of imperial history, and it is responsible for supervising. If this seal is genuine, I'm afraid we will cause great trouble for the head of the family! ”

Zhou Jiande's heart sank suddenly, "How big is the trouble?" ”

"It depends on whether this son really embroiders the imperial history." A gleam flashed in Lu Dazhong's eyes, "If it's true, let this son go back, and in less than a day, Lieutenant A will break through the gate of the Zhou Mansion." If it's an impostor, hum, that's a great achievement! The head of the family will also praise the childe. ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Dazhong gave up his hand and smiled, "Childe, the villain thinks that if you don't want to cause trouble, we only have two ways!" ”

"Speak!"

He glared at Bai Mingzhe viciously, "One, kill this kid, and then destroy the corpse." ”

Lu Bushu screamed, "No! If this person is really embroidered clothes, after he died, Tingwei investigated, and the first one to check was me! ”

His grudge with Bai Mingzhe may have spread in the West Market. Tingwei is not a fool, so he naturally knows who to arrest.

As for the identity of the person who was arrested, Ting Wei did not care. Anyway, as long as you are taken away, you will definitely spit out something.

"Although you don't count very well, you are quite thoughtful." Taking advantage of the distraction of holding down his own people, Bai Mingzhe suddenly broke free, then sat on the ground, and moved his muscles, "Don't be afraid to tell you, when you come, I have already asked people to contact Wei Qing." ”

Zhou Jiande's voice suddenly turned cold, and he roared: "What? Lu Dazhong, what are you going to do! Why the leak! ”

"Childe was angry, the villain thought that this kid just asked the guy who sold the chicken to send the chicken back, but he didn't expect him to go to someone for help." Lu Dazhong lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "What's more, the villain didn't expect that this person would make Pingqu Hou jealous." ”

Lu Bushu was anxious and said, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and tell me about your second plan."

"The second plan is to let this kid sign and admit that he is not an embroidered royal history!" Lu Dazhong said viciously, "As long as there is evidence of signatures and detachments, even Your Majesty, there is nothing to say!" Who let this kid himself not admit it! ”

Zhou Jiande nodded in agreement, "For today's plan, I have to do this!" ”

Bai Mingzhe moved his wrist and smiled calmly, "What, you want me to write a document to deny my identity?" Don't be so troublesome, prepare pen and ink, and I'll write a copy directly for you. ”

Lu Bushu's face was hideous, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

Bai Mingzhe spread his hands, "I don't have any ideas, I just don't want to get hurt." Oh, by the way, "The Art of War" can also be written for you and wait. It's just that you have to pay. ”

Zhou Jiande gave Lu Dazhong a look, signaled to prepare pen and ink immediately, and at the same time had a gloomy face, "As long as you know each other, money is not a problem!" I am willing to exchange the price of 300 gold for "The Art of War" and the seal of Xunzi! ”

Bai Mingzhe shook his head, "Not enough!" Five hundred gold! ”

"Deal!" Zhou Jiande said categorically, "Come on, go and prepare the gold immediately!" ”

Pushing away all the things on the desk, Bai Mingzhe motioned to put bamboo slips and pen and ink on the desk, and took the lead in writing "The Art of War".

Of course, after he finished writing, he naturally would not hand it over to Zhou Jiande, but planned to wait for Wei Qing to come and send it directly to Wei Qing.

The grace of saving his life has not yet been repaid, and the battle of Dragon City is imminent, so it is very appropriate to use "The Art of War" as a thank you gift.
