Chapter 25: The Battle of the Palace (2)
disguised as a beggar, Xiao Bu, who had been secretly following Tian Shifei, saw Tian Shifei's anxious embarrassment, and thought to himself, now it's time to lure them into a big fight, and they can't let them return in vain. Tease them one more time, and vent evil anger for General Zhuang.
Seeing that Xiao Bu, who was dressed as a flower child, deliberately walked up to Tian Shifei and said, "My lord, the big officials are good, give me something to eat." ”
Tian Shifei was angry, without saying a word, grabbing the beggar's hair was a violent beating, until his arm was weak, he stopped and asked: "Hey, blame you for calling Huazi, Lao Tzu beat you like this, why don't you scream in pain?" ”
Xiao Bu said with a sad face: "The little one knows that the adults are worried, and I want to ask the adults for some money, so that the adults can eliminate the disaster." Didn't the nobles say that they would pay for the disaster? But the adults refused, and the small ones caused trouble, so they had to admit themselves and plant them. ”
When Tian Shifei heard this, he felt that the beggar was reasonable, so his anger disappeared by half. So he became friendly and said: "If you can eliminate the disaster for Lord Ben and me, you will not be able to eat and use up in this life, and you will have a flower girl to sleep with." Eat and drink spicy food all your life, and have a flower girl to accompany you, do you say this kind of life is cool? ”
"Well, cool, cool, that's pretty cool, cool and crooked." The beggar Xiaobu said madly, "With the flower girl, the little one is cool with the adult." ”
When Tian Shifei heard this, he teased with great interest: "Your flower girl, I'll be cool and tell you to be a cuckold every day, are you willing?" ”
The beggar Xiaobu smiled "smack", and even said, "Well, cool, cool, wearing a green hat is cool." Then, he unexpectedly raised his hand to find Tian Shifei and said by the way, "Give money to eliminate disasters; Contribute money to eliminate disasters ......"
Tian Shifei repeatedly heard the beggar's shout of "pay for the disaster", and he had the idea of giving money to eliminate the disaster. He turned around and looked around, and there was nowhere to come up with any money, because there was not a single wizard found on this side.
The crazy beggar inexplicably shouted "Give money, eliminate disasters, and the soldiers from the east will come to ......"
When Tian Shifei heard the words "Dongdi Bing", he felt strange and thought: How did this little beggar know about Dongdi Bing? As if grasping a life-saving straw, he approached the beggar Xiaobu and asked, "Hey, crazy beggar, how do you know about the Dongdi soldiers?" ”
The beggar Xiaobu stared at Tian Shifei for a long time, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't this what you said?" Ha ha...... Little one knows, you're looking for the Dongdi soldiers so that you can make friends with them and come to fight our beggar gang, right? ”
"Hey, yes, yes, I love to hear that. Tell me, where are the Dongdi soldiers? Tian Shifei wanted to get something out of the beggar Xiaobu's mouth, but the beggar Xiaobu's answer disappointed him. However, another sentence from the beggar Xiaobu had the effect of making him pause.
The beggar Xiaobu said casually: "It's not easy for the official to find the Dongdi soldiers? ”
When Tian Shifei heard this, he felt that there was a way, so he asked, "Hanako, how do you say this?" ”
The beggar Xiaobu said casually: "The official is crazy, this person, when he is in a hurry, his head is dull, don't you say?" ”
Tian Shifei was bent on getting rid of the dilemma of the siege without the Dongdi soldiers, so he couldn't care about the beggars saying that he was dull, stupid, and stupid, so he only bent on asking for advice: "Yes, yes, I am a little anxious, but you said that you can help me solve the situation, as long as you do what you say, I guarantee that you have a flower girl who eats and drinks spicy food." ”
The beggar Xiaobu sighed and said, "The officials all believe that money can make ghosts grind, don't they?" ”
Tian Shifei replied again and again: "Hey, yes, yes, money can make ghosts grind, what about the back?" You're going to get me the East Army. ”
The beggar Xiaobu continued: "That's right, as long as you are willing to pay, there will be people who want to be soldiers in the east." ”
After hearing this, Tian Shifei was in a hurry, and slapped his hands and said to himself: "Hey, yes, I paid someone to come out to serve as a soldier in the east, and I will fool Jin Shanglaoer and the king." ”
He beckoned to the beggar Xiaobu, took out a handful of grimace money (the smallest copper coin in the Chu State at that time) and shook it in front of him, "Hey, come, help Lao Tzu find some people, this money is yours, can you do it?" If you can find dozens of people, Lao Tzu will give you the title of Jin Shan Ying (the common currency of Chu at that time). ”
The beggar clapped his hands and said, "Okay, hehe, someone gave Jin Sheet, Ying said that Jin Sheet is good, better than the flower girl." ”
Tian Shifei pulled the beggar to a secluded place, stuffed the grimace money in his hand into Xiao Bu's hand, and shouted: "Scream, what's it called?" Lao Tzu said, you go to find someone now, as long as it is a man, pull it, Lao Tzu will give this. ”
The beggar Xiaobu pushed away the grimace money and said, "The grimace money is not enough for me to fill my stomach, I want to ...... I want to be called Jin Sheet. ”
Tian Shifei agreed: "Okay, boy, a man named Huazi is so shrewd, quickly find someone to go and give you a golden sheet, Ying's name is a golden sheet, the more men you find, the more gold you get." ”
The beggar Xiaobu nodded again and again and said "good, good".
He left Tian Shifei in a frenzy, and in less than an hour, he came to Tian Shifei with dozens of ragged middle-aged men, and stretched out his hand first, "It's all here, come to ask for a golden sheet, quickly give us a golden sheet." ”
Tian Shifei looked at it, sighed and said: "Oh, look at what clothes you are wearing, a group of people called Huazi, disheveled, can you be a good Dongdi soldier?" ”
The beggar Xiaobu's hand clapped, and he said smartly: "It's not easy to dress like a Dongdi soldier?" He pointed to a shop in front of him and said, "Lord Official, there are clothes worn by ** people in the shop in front, you go and buy a set for each of them to wear, to ensure that they are no different from the Dongdi soldiers, how majestic it is for adults to take them to war." ”
When Tian Shifei heard this, he got inspiration again, although it costs money to buy military uniforms, but in times of crisis, there is no choice but to spend money to eliminate disasters. So, he took the group of rotten boys to the clothing store and quickly armed them to make them look like soldiers.
Everything was ready, Tian Shifei ordered these dozens of people who looked like Dongdi soldiers to swagger back to the east gate, and another batch followed.
When they broke up, Xiao Bu, who pretended to be a beggar, secretly said to these people who pretended to be Dongdi soldiers: "Everyone remembers that we are a person named Tian Shifei who paid to buy us to pretend to be Dongdi soldiers. Tian Shifei, everyone's remembered. Only by remembering him can we save our lives. ”
Wu Shixun was reprimanded by Jin Shang, and his face was completely lost.
He had no choice but to look for Tian Shifei everywhere to get out of the anger of being reprimanded. Hey, when he found the east gate, his eyes lit up, wasn't it a dozen Dongdi soldiers swaggering and walking towards this side?
He hurriedly gestured to his own people, ordered everyone to hide quickly, and when all the Dongdi soldiers arrived, they could be wiped out.
These dozen or so people dressed as Dongdi soldiers, each carrying a sword and a halberd, and the other hand holding a pancake fruit, ate as they walked, like hungry wolves.
Wu Shixun whispered to the guards beside him: "Look at their hungry appearance, they really look like ** who just came in from other places." Wait a little longer, and as soon as I give the order, you will pounce on them and take them all down. ”
The newly-dressed Dongdi soldiers gathered more and more towards the east gate. Moreover, they are also very attentive to their surroundings, as if they are always on guard against someone.
Wu Shixun's heart was beating nonstop, and he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and when these Dongdi soldiers were almost gathered, he shouted: "Brothers, catch the Dongdi soldiers, and catch more than you will be paid." ”
He took the lead and rushed out, kicked a man who looked like an easterner soldier, kicked him to the ground, and then pulled him to his feet with his arms against his back and asked, "Tell me, how many of you have come, and where are all your accomplices hiding?" ”
The Dongdi soldiers were trembling with fear, their legs and feet were weak, their brand-new pants were wet, and their crotch was wet, how could they speak?
Wu Shixun kicked his back buttocks and said, "Look at your urine sample, and you still pretend to be garlic for Lao Tzu, right?" If you don't tell me honestly, Lao Tzu will cut off your head as a urinal, do you believe it or not? Anyway, I believe it. ”
The man was so frightened that he wet his pants and didn't say anything, he didn't smell it, he looked at Wu Shixun's fierce appearance, and he didn't know how to say it.
Dozens of Dongdi soldiers who appeared at the east gate were arrested and tied up one after another.
Wu Shixun was like a victorious general, escorting them straight to Jin Shang's mansion.
He said as he walked, "Grandma's, where did Tian Shifei go?" The Dongdi soldiers all appeared, but he didn't even show a single hair, and I took all the credit alone, and I always felt uncomfortable in my heart. ”
Jin Shang saw that Wu Shixun was holding dozens of Dongdi soldiers, and a stone hanging in his heart finally fell.
He praised: "Wu Shixun is so good, tie them all up and escort them to the guards together, the old minister invited the king to personally examine it, this time he must make Zhuang Ji's treason a real death, so that he lost Qingqing's life if he failed to conquer the west." ”
The news that Wu Shixun had wiped out all the Dongdi soldiers quickly spread to the palace.
King Qingxiang made an exception and ordered: "Bring them all into the palace council hall, and the lone king will personally interrogate them, and he must find out the instigators behind them, and kill all the thieves, and eliminate the future troubles forever." ”
After Princess Jingyin heard about the Dongdi soldiers captured by Wu Shixun, she was afraid that they would make further trouble and be detrimental to Zhuang Ji, so she stopped King Qingxiang and said: "He just arrested a few Dongdi soldiers, can he use Brother Wang to personally try them?" According to Princess Ben, Brother Wang can call Dr. Sanlu to interrogate. ”
King Qingxiang replied and said: "Sister Wang, if you are fine, go and learn some needlework and embroidery, or play with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and don't interfere in the affairs of the palace all the time." The soldiers of the Eastern Land gathered in Yingdu to try to rebel, such a big matter, didn't King Gu personally go out to interrogate? Besides, this is related to Zhuang Ji's innocence or not, and if someone else comes to trial, can you rest assured? Anyway, the lonely king is not at ease. ”
Princess Jingyin felt that what Brother Wang said was reasonable, and she felt that this Brother Wang still had the idea of thinking about Zhuang Ji in his heart, so she said flatteringly: "This princess believes that Brother Wang will conduct a fair and just trial, find out the bad guys who really endanger the security of Chu State, and return justice and peace to the people." ”
