Chapter 472: Hongmen Banquet
"This!"
"This!"
"This!"
The reactions of the other heads of the family were even more exaggerated than Hu Yudao, as if they were being choked by the throat, their eyes were wide open, their mouths were wide open, like fish out of the water, their mouths kept opening and closing, but they couldn't make any sound.
The Wenzha thrown out by Situ seemed to hit their soft underbelly, seven inches above.
Whether it was Hu Yudao, who was eloquent, or Bai Zizi, who was scheming, his eyes showed a look of panic, and he stood there with an embarrassed face, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Chengze's face was pale, his fists were clenched tightly, his nails pierced into his palms, and a trace of blood dripped down. The eyes are full of unwillingness.
"Despicable!"
"It's despicable!"
"Don't think that this will bring us to our knees!"
"I am a child, I have a meritorious reputation, and my father is the master bookkeeper, and he is also an official. β
"Even if you are a county magistrate, you can't act so recklessly!"
Situ Xing looked at Li Chengze, who was full of anger and his face was pale, and his face showed surprise and sarcasm:
"Reckless?"
"Li Gongzi is a wonderful word!"
"But I don't know who is acting recklessly? At the Liuyu Poetry Conference, Li Gongzi lost face and vented his anger on a weak woman. Because Liu couldn't bear the humiliation, he hanged himself to death!"
"That's a human life, who is doing it recklessly!"
Situ Xing's questioning was very powerful, and Li Chengze's face couldn't help but have a hint of panic.
Situ Xing looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, worry, fear, disdain, and struggle, as well as indescribable grievances and anger, their eyes looked directly at Situ Xing, as if they were silently complaining, accusing him of breaking their peaceful life.
Situ Xing looked them in the eyes, and a trace of disdain couldn't help but rise in his heart.
In his opinion, these squires were spoiled by former officials.
Relying on the mountain to be far away from the emperor, and not taking the national law in his eyes, he is really going to be punished, and he is a stomach full of grievances, like a victim.
"Which one is this singing, my lord?"
"Hongmen banquet or catch and release Cao!?"
Wang Shi, who had a dark face and looked like an old farmer in the countryside, gently blew the tea foam in the cup, and asked indifferently.
Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, his face showed curiosity, and he asked with some surprise:
"How is the Hongmen Banquet?"
"What about catching and releasing Cao?"
Wang Shi took a sip of tea leaves, put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table, and said with a solemn face:
"Hongmen Banquet, adults should be careful that the fish dies and the net is broken. β
"Catch and release Cao, we will double the original grain base. β
Hu Yudao, Bai Zizai and the others couldn't help but froze on their faces, their mouths opened slightly and wanted to refute, but when they saw Wang Shi's wolf-like eyes, they all subconsciously closed their mouths and nodded heavily, obviously agreeing with this plan.
Situ Xing's eyes were like knives looking at Wang Shi with a calm face, who would have thought that the most hidden among the families was not Bai Zizi or Hu Yudao, but this Wang Shi, who looked like an old farmer in the countryside, the most scheming.
No wonder he is the biggest tyrant in Zhibei County!
"My lord, this food is enough for you to deal with the imperial court!"
Wang Shi looked at the expressionless Situ Xing, slowly rubbed the teacup in his palm with his palm, as if quietly touching the unique smoothness and delicacy of porcelain, and said confidently:
"Adults, many friends, many paths. β
"Although we are not in the officialdom, we still have a lot of friends in the officialdom. It will definitely be able to help a little bit in the future. β
"If the adults push us to a dead end, there will only be a hundred harms and no benefits!"
Situ Xing listened to Wang Shi's soft and hard words, and was speechless for a while, just when everyone thought that Situ Xing was moved, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"This official has a couplet, I wonder if a few of you are interested in Yajian?"
Hu Yudao, Wang Shi and the others couldn't help but froze, they didn't know why Situ Xing changed the topic, but their faces still showed a look of listening.
Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, Situ Xing cleared his throat and recited in a low voice:
"The temple is a little demon!"
"Chi Qian Wang Baduo!"
The couplet of the stube is very short.
The meaning is also easy to understand.
Wang Shi and the others only felt that they stretched out their faces, and let Situ slap them heavily, their faces couldn't help but stiffen, and their eyes showed even more shame.
"My lord, are you planning to sing the Hongmen Banquet?"
Wang Shi's face suddenly became blue and gloomy, and his palm subconsciously picked up the teacup in his hand, the divine light flashed in his eyes, and he said a little dangerously.
"Although we are not considered wealthy, let alone a prestigious family, we have also operated in Zhibei County for hundreds of years, and the relationship is intricate, and there are hundreds of Dingmen guests in every house!"
"As long as you climb the heights and shout, the servants gather. Even when Hu Buwei was in office, he could only be appeased. β
"Lord Situ is so strong, isn't he afraid of causing trouble, and he can't make a difference?"
Situ Xing glanced at everyone, and a trace of disdain rose at the corner of his mouth. A little sarcastically said:
"The fish will definitely die, and the net will definitely not break!"
"You stop now, this official will be extrajudicial and gracious, otherwise... β
"Lord Situ!"
"Do you really think we can't do it?"
"When the old man was the king and hegemon in Zhibei County, the adults hadn't been weaned yet!"
Syllable!
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Wang Shi stood up abruptly, slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the crisp voice came far away in the darkness.
Several other family heads also showed a glimmer of divine light in their eyes, although they did not smash the cup, but they also used their own means. Attempted to contact the guards outside.
But to their surprise, after a while, there was not the slightest movement outside.
"How is this possible?"
Wang Shi snatched the teacup in front of Hu Yudao in disbelief and slammed it on the window. The hard porcelain cups easily shattered the papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows and landed in the courtyard. There was a crisp cracking sound.
But what is surprising is that it seems to be dead dead outside, not only did no guards rush in, but even the maids of the Lu Mansion did not move at all, which was very weird.
"This!"
"How is this possible?"
The expressions on the faces of the other heads of the family were also very exciting, no matter how many means they used, all the backhands they had prepared in advance seemed to be out of order.
"Wonderful!"
"It's wonderful!"
"You are worthy of being entrenched in Zhibei County for decades, and you are cautious in your work, and you have arranged a large number of secret guards around the hall. If it weren't for the fact that the official had prepared for it, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to hold you. β
Situ Xing clapped his hands gently, and his face showed sincere appreciation.
"In the end, ginger is old and spicy!"
Wang Shi, Hu Yudao, Bai Zizi and others looked at the dark guard who was paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were closed as if he had no muscles and bones, his face suddenly turned blue, and he suddenly turned his head, looking at the indifferent Lu Taigong like an angry lion, the corners of his mouth provoked a trace of disdain, and scolded with some resentment:
"Traitor!"
