Chapter 18 There is strength in numbers
"Don't give it!"
Zhao Rui's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, and everyone was discolored.
The onlookers were surprised and discussed.
"Who is this, dare to offend the Zhou family, don't you know whether you are dead or alive?"
"The Zhou family is in control of the salt tea business, there are people on it, and there are still people who dare to confront each other in person, tsk!"
"Isn't this the only seedling of the Zhao family, no wonder the family is ruined, just as stubborn as his father!"
"Yes! I heard that his father just offended the Zhou family and ended up so miserable, and now his son also collided with ......"
Zhao Gong stood behind Zhao Rui, heard the discussion clearly, and his heart was about to die, the young master offended such a big family, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss!
And Zhao Rui smiled faintly, what about power, when his batch of Kunlun slaves are trained, it is not as easy as chopping melons and vegetables to deal with the Zhou family?
There is no armed force in the small county town, and it is really not enough to rely on those township soldiers in the yamen.
What's more, your own electric batons and chili water haven't come in handy yet!
Young Master Zhou couldn't imagine that Zhao Rui was so tough, and he made it clear that he was not convinced, so that he would lose face in front of the public, his angry chest rose and fell, and he pulled down his face and said in a negative manner.
"Zhao Changshun! Courage is good...... Do you know what happens when you offend me? ”
"What if you know?"
Zhao Rui said indifferently: "I forgot to tell you, I changed my name, and now I am called Zhao Rui!" ”
Zhao Rui said as he touched the chili water in his sleeve, if the Zhou family dared to do it, they would directly let them know what it meant to be sour!
"I don't care what you call you!"
Young Master Zhou took a step back and instructed the servant: "Give me a good lesson to this kid, let him know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!" ”
The four servants of the Zhou family are all burly people, I don't know how many such things have been done, and when they heard the master's order, they had a bad smile on their faces, and they were about to rush up.
Zhao Rui's face was cold, and he was about to take out the chili water.
"I see who dares!"
Who knew that Zhao Gong behind him shouted, and stood directly in front of Zhao Rui with four Kunlun slaves.
Zhao Gong and their half-sized children are really not enough in the eyes of the other party, although the skeleton is not small, but they have not eaten enough for a long time, and each one is thinner than the other.
Zhao Rui was still wondering where the others had gone, and there was a commotion behind each other, and when he looked back, it turned out that the other people had just come back from moving furniture, and when they saw that their masters were surrounded, this group of Kunlun slave young men immediately put down the tables, chairs and benches, and rushed up together.
Others may take into account the power of the Zhou family, but they have no such concept at all.
The two sides made a judgment in an instant!
Five people on one side, 37 people on the other, completely crushed.
The number of Zhao Rui's family slaves suddenly shocked the servants opposite, and their faces changed in fright, although they put on a good posture, they hesitated and did not dare to step forward, and their eyes kept glancing at their young master.
The Kunlun slaves were dark-faced, dressed in uniform clothes, staring at each other viciously, although they didn't say anything, but the terrifying sense of oppression was enough to make them daunting.
"This ......"
Young Master Zhou's face was frightened, and he involuntarily took a step back, secretly screaming in his heart.
These Kunlun slaves themselves are like duckweed, helpless people, plus Zhao Rui, a broken household, if they are in a hurry, it is really possible to do something reckless.
Only then did Young Master Zhou realize the seriousness of the problem!
Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Come and fight!" Let the big guy see how your Zhou family bullies people? ”
Young Master Zhou gritted his teeth, and there was a burst of embarrassment on his face, he was really in a dilemma.
"Haha! The Zhou family also has a time when they are deflated! ”
"That's right, you're a powerful person all day long, why did you coax it today!"
From time to time, the crowd erupted in laughter.
Young Master Zhou couldn't hold it on his face, and he hated Zhao Rui even more.
Fortunately, at this time, a savior descended from the sky, and a street patrol head catcher walked in with two officials!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The head catcher has a sturdy figure and a voice like a bell, and under his pushing, everyone has to get out of the way.
"Gongzi Zhou."
The head catcher recognized the big families, and directly saluted Young Master Zhou, and glanced at Zhao Rui at the same time.
"Head catcher, you came just in time, the Zhao family is raising private soldiers without permission, what crime should you be guilty of!"
When it was really the wicked who sued first, Young Master Zhou pointed at Zhao Rui and the others, and directly deducted a basin of dirty water.
Keeping a private soldier?
This was strictly forbidden in the Song Dynasty, not to mention that rich families were not allowed to raise soldiers, and even those military generals with great achievements were never allowed to support the army and respect themselves, the reason was that the Song Dynasty strictly prohibited the occurrence of military dictatorship in order to strengthen the rule of the central power.
Liu Zhutou looked at this group of Kunlun slaves, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, this matter has to be handled carefully, if it gets big and spreads, I am afraid it will also affect the career of the county magistrate!
Moreover, the Zhao family can support so many people, and its strength should not be underestimated.
"Young Master of the Zhao family, these are your private soldiers?"
Catching the head looked at Zhao Rui, still wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Hehe, head catcher, it's really funny, they're just my house slaves. Soldiers, armed also, you see that they are not only unarmed, but also have no shoes to wear, who has such a private soldier, is not afraid of being embarrassed? ”
Hearing this, the headcatcher looked towards the ground.
Not really!
One by one, the dirty black feet stepped on the ground, and they really had no shoes to wear, and they were definitely slaves.
"Young Master Zhou, look at this ......"
The head catcher was concerned about the power of the Zhou family, and turned around and asked carefully.
"Humph! It's not a private soldier now, and who knows if it will be in the future! Headcatcher, you have to keep an eye on it! ”
"Yes, Young Master Zhou." The headcatcher hurriedly agreed.
"Zhao Changshun! You'll see! ”
The young master of the Zhou family put down a cruel word, waved his hand and left with the deflated servants.
Seeing that Young Master Zhou was gone, the head catcher naturally didn't want to trouble Zhao Rui, after all, so many house slaves were not something ordinary people could afford, so he said a few words like letting everyone disperse, and left with the servants.
"Haha, the young master of the Zhou family is angry~"
"Well deserved! Let him bully people! ”
"Zhao Gongzi is so good! We've got your back! ”
"Yes! For such a rich and unkind person can not be soft! ”
Zhao Rui didn't bother with these onlookers, don't look at what they said, no one dared to fight against the Zhou family at that time.
And Zhao Rui's revenge for this identity is still secondary, the most important thing is a modern person, when did he suffer this kind of bullying?
Even if it is the king of heaven, Zhao Rui is going to him today!
However, Zhao Gong's performance today is outstanding, and he has the courage to control the measure.
"Young master, this is more than six taels of silver left over from buying furniture."
Zhao Gong spread out his palm and handed over the silver, his attitude seemed to be more respectful than before.
Zhao Rui's calm and calm attitude, Zhao Gong was deeply impressed, and felt that his young master must be a person who does great things.
"You take it, I'll clean it up later, buy some food for the big guy, and it can be regarded as a celebration of the opening of the store!"
Zhao Rui's words directly hooked Zhao Gong's gluttony, ran to the front of the house slaves, and said Zhao Rui's meaning in Chinese first, and then in Malay, and then this group of Kun slaves became excited, and it didn't take long for the store to be arranged inside and out.
Next to it is a family that sells rice balls, Zhao Gong first asked for 37 bowls of rice balls, and then went to find meat along the taste, six taels of silver for them to eat is definitely enough.
It didn't take long for Zhao Gong to run back with a large bag, put the food on the two tables on the first floor, and then ran out again, going back and forth several times before finally buying it.
Although these kunnu swallowed their saliva greedily, none of them dared to make the first move, and they all looked at Zhao Rui expectantly.
"Okay, for the sake of the store's prosperous business, for our future, let's eat!"
Zhao Rui gave an order, and everyone ate it was called a gobble.
Fortunately, Zhao Gong reserved a seat for Zhao Rui and some food, otherwise Zhao Rui really didn't have the confidence to be able to grab them.
Zhao Rui sat down, scooped a rice ball and put it in his mouth, well, yes, the filling is made of sesame candied fruit, fragrant and sweet. Then look at the other foods, which can be regarded as rich in variety.
There are not only meat buns, braised elbows, fried chicken, enema, etc., but also some offal that Zhao Rui can't see what it is, and sweets such as bean paste cake and osmanthus cake, which shows that the Southern Song Dynasty still had a variety of ways to eat, which is an out-and-out food paradise.
"Huh? What is it? ”
Zhao Rui used chopsticks to clip a fried object in the shape of a human figure, which looked like pasta, and it was somewhat similar to the fritters in the market.
"Well...... The boss said, this is called 'fried Qin Hui', who is Qin Hui, so hated? ”
Zhao Gong's mouth was full, and he said while chewing.
"Oh, the traitor of the Northern Dynasty, people can't wait to put him in the oil pot!"
Zhao Rui thought, maybe this is the predecessor of the fritters, took a bite, it was not crispy as he thought, but more like noodle fish, with a soft taste and rich wheat aroma.
Zhao Rui ate a little bit of everything, and he was full, looking at Zhao Gong and the others still gnawing on their elbows, he shook his head and sighed to himself.
Here, the young master of the Zhou family took people, and the more he walked, the more angry he became, and he went directly to Nanshi.
He wants to buy a slave similar to Zhao Rui and go back and beat him well, so that he can dissipate the evil spirit in his chest.
The group walked to the trafficker's stall that traded with Zhao Rui, and the trafficker saw that the young master of the Zhou family was dressed gorgeously, and hurriedly sold his own slaves.
"This young master, look at how this Silla maid is, her kung fu is first-class, you are happy!"
The traffickers grabbed the Silla woman in front of him again, with an expression of "you know that they are all men".
"Wow! Good! This is good! Bought! I bought it! ”
Looking at the Silla girl's shy expression, Zhou Gongzi was suddenly shocked, and his eyes were straight.
Although Zhou Gongzi is rich and wealthy, in a small county town, after all, his vision is limited, except for Lin Mengyao, who has met once by chance, it is this Silla maid who is the most beautiful.
Great, I've found a treasure!
Zhou Gongzi instantly threw Zhao Rui's matter out of the clouds, and did not bargain on the spot, generously took out fifty taels of silver, and happily took the Silla maid home.
Seeing that this young master was generous, Silla smiled even more charmingly.
