Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bonfire
Tai Shi Ci was taken aback when he saw Liu Ze's sword fall to the ground, and hurriedly looked around, thinking that there was another beast coming, seeing the surrounding grass and trees, the mountains and rocks, and there was no danger, he couldn't help but wonder, Liu Ze smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Brother Tai is a big name, Ze has long heard of it, for the county affairs, ruining the state chapter, well-known Donglai, Ziyi came to Liaodong, is it to avoid trouble?" ”
It turned out that Tai Shi Ci was a small official in Donglai County, and the county government disagreed with the state assassin because of a criminal case. At that time, the assassination document had been issued, and the county guard was worried, looking for a messenger, Tai Shici accepted the mission, and with the county government document in his arms, Pegasus rushed to Luoyang. When he arrived at the bus outside the Tingwei Mansion, the envoy of the Assassin's Mansion was already waiting to submit the documents, Taishi Ci was in a hurry, straightened his clothes, slowly walked to the envoy of the Assassin's Mansion, and asked, "You are here to hand over the chapter?" The messenger did not dare to slack off when he saw that the man was extraordinary, and replied, "Yes." I don't know who you are? Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "A certain is also a case official of the Tingwei Mansion, and he has a good relationship with the Jun family's assassin history." The messenger was overjoyed and said, "In this way, Lord Thorn Shi has no worries. Tai Shici said: "Where is the Tongzhang? Is there a mistake in the inscription? Take a look. The messenger replied, "In the chariot, wait for me to fetch it and have a look with you." The messenger went to the car and took out the bamboo slips, Tai Shi Ci confirmed that it was correct, hey, sneered, his arms exerted force, rubbed his palms, the bamboo slips suddenly turned into powder, the messenger was shocked, shouted loudly, Tai Shi Ci had already prepared, covered the messenger's mouth, pulled to the back of the car, and said: "I don't hide it, I am the messenger of Donglai, and now I have destroyed the Tongzhang, you and I are inevitably guilty, it is better to escape as soon as possible." The messenger said, "What is my sin?" The whole chapter was destroyed in the hands of the king. "Haha, if you don't take out the general chapter, how can you destroy it, stab Shi Wenwen, punish you or me?" The envoy thought about it, even if he punished others, it was also the business of Donglai County, and he would do things for the county guard, and the punishment would be heavier, so he nodded and agreed, Tai Shici said: "I fled with the king, and the power of the assassination history, it is difficult for the little officials to hide." Seeing that Tai Shi Ci was so thoughtful, the messenger hurriedly went home to pack up, and fled to the countryside in a hurry. Tai Shici was not in a hurry, handed in the paperwork, returned to Donglai to meet the county guard, completed the mission, and became well-known in the world. When the assassin learned of this, he was furious and wanted to be unfavorable to Tai Shi Ci, but Tai Shi Ci had no choice but to avoid trouble and came to Liaodong. It seems that Shandong people have had the habit of going to the eastern part of the country since the Han Dynasty.
Tai Shi Ci saw Liu Ze mention this matter, and said helplessly: "The power of the assassin Shi can be a mustard official, and the old mother of the Nai family has no one to support. Liu Ze knew that Tai Shici was a person of filial piety, and said with a smile: "Ziyi doesn't have to be sad, he will take a boat from Liaodong to float in the sea, and he will be able to go to Donglai in a few days, how about bringing his old mother to Liaodong?" Ze Bo has a prestige and lives in a house for Ziyi. Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed and said: "I can serve my mother day and night, and I have no regrets." "At this time, the weather is getting colder, and the old mother is old, how can she endure the pain of wind and snow? The spring of the coming year is warm, how about Ziyi go again? Tai Shi Ci saw that Liu Ze was reasonable, and said: "Okay, the spring will be warm in the coming year, and Ci will go to Donglai and his party." Liu Ze took Tai Shici's hand and said, "Ziyi is good at shooting, how about watching the soldiers under his command shoot and hunt with me?" Tai Shici smiled: "Yes." Liu Ze and Tai Shici walked back together, Liu Wushuai came, saw the black bear that fell to the ground, couldn't help but be shocked, everyone knelt down and asked for guilt, Liu Ze smiled: "It's okay, if there is no black bear, how can you meet Ziyi?" Liu Wu asked his subordinates to give up two horses, Liu Ze and Tai Shici stepped on and rode away, and Liu Wu went to clean up the black bear.
On the horse, Liu Ze secretly thought to himself, filial piety comes first, and there are so many people under him, so he should settle his family members well to avoid their worries. Don't you see that Xu Shu was deceived by a fake letter from Cheng Yu to Cao Cao? The hero of Liangshan is even more desperate, he took a fancy to that hero, and directly robbed his family members to the mountain, and you can't help but not surrender.
When they came to the assembly place, a large group of people were happily talking about the harvest, Liu Ze introduced Tai Shici one by one, and Xi Zhicai asked about the experience of knowing Tai Shici, and was deeply uneasy. quietly walked to the side, called Xu Chudianwei and Liu Wu, and reprimanded him. The three of them heard that Liu Ze encountered a black bear and was almost injured, and blamed themselves, Xi Zhicai said: "Ming Gong'an is in danger, more important than everything, from now on, we must not leave Ming Gong's left and right." The three of them secretly swore to ensure Liu Ze's safety.
Liu Ze saw that everyone had arrived, and he gained a lot, and said with a smile: "You are working hard for official business, Ze is very guilty, in order to reward everyone, I came to barbecue for everyone today." Everyone turned their heads and ears, not knowing what the barbecue was delicious, Liu Ze said: "Select the fat sheep and deer, wash and peel them, build a bonfire, and watch me do it." Haha, Ziyi, you have a good mouth today. ”
There are many people to do things, and after a while everything is ready, the bonfire is shining, and the fat sheep and deer are threaded with wooden sticks and placed on the shelves. Some people who have been to the grassland, and they said "oh" in their hearts, Ming Gong is roasting whole sheep and roasting whole deer. Liu Ze arranged for people to keep turning the sheep and deer, and he took a big package, which had already been prepared with various colors, it turned out that Liu Ze had already prepared, so that Cai Wenji was ready. The prey at the beginning of winter is all fat, roasted by the fire, the grease flows down, and the fragrance overflows the four wilds. Liu Ze held the brush in his hand, kept brushing the oil back and forth, looking at the heat, chili noodles, cumin powder, pepper and salt sprinkled layer by layer. This caused more than 500 people to salivate, and their stomachs were growling. The person who originally knew that Liu Ze was roasting whole sheep and deer muttered again, "Ming Gong's barbecue is so strange, it is different from the grassland people1" Liu Ze held a sharp knife, cut a plate, and walked in front of Tai Shici with it, "When you meet Ziyi today, your life is happy, and Ziyi eats first." The corners of Tai Shici's moved eyes moistened, took the plate, gobbled it up, and Liu Ze smiled: "Why is Ziyi too anxious?" Helped Tai Shici sprinkle some salt and pepper, mixed it with bamboo chopsticks, and said, "In this way, Fang is really delicious." "Tai Shi Ci eats again, and it is really delicious.
Liu Ze said with a smile: "Everyone can cut it at will, but it can't be too thick, a thin layer is enough." A large group of people flocked up, and Liu Ze said: "It's so delicious, how can there be no wine?" Come on, get the wine. The crowd cheered, and the aroma of wine overflowed for a while. Liu Ze turned his eyes and looked around, and saw that Xu Chu Dian Wei and the two drunkards were just eating with their heads down, so he couldn't help but be surprised, walked up to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Zhong Kang, Dian Wei, why don't you go to drink?" Dian Wei was honest, ah for a while, just about to speak, Xu Chu said: "Haha, haha, the mutton and venison roasted by Ming Gong are really delicious, Chu is reluctant to put down the plate!" Don't you say, old canon? Dian Wei chewed the barbecue in his mouth and nodded incessantly. Liu Ze knew in his heart that he would not break it. A group of officials with more than 500 soldiers and 30 roast sheep and deer, it turned out to be a whirlwind, Liu Ze smacked his tongue, this is nearly 2,000 catties of meat, and then let people prepare to roast again.
Liu Ze held the wine bowl in his hand, stood at a high post, and said loudly: "Since Ze came to Liaodong, the officials have been conscientious and conscientious, and they have fulfilled their duties, so that all industries in Liaodong will be prosperous, and all the people will enjoy peace; The soldiers used their lives to repel the enemy of Wuhuan and protect the peace of Liaodong. Here, Ze with a bowl of thin wine, thank you, come, all dry! Everyone was excited, bowed down to thank the county guard for his love, and drank all the wine in the bowl together, Xu Chudianwei held the big bowl, stood behind Liu Ze, and also raised the bowl to drink, but it was just white water. Seeing that Liu Ze was so popular, Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but feel full of emotion in his heart, and he had the intention to follow.
It was already the time when the wine and food were full, and everyone turned to Xiangping. Liu Ze had already ordered the sergeant to pack up Tai Shici's simple outfit and return with Tai Shici.
