Text Chapter 154 Niu Er seeks revenge
"A masterpiece, a masterpiece, this word came out, and there is no more words in Yuan Xi!"
A wine was drunk until the beginning of Shen Shi, Chai Wenbo was already seven or eight points drunk, he sighed the wonderful song that had just come out, and staggered out of the restaurant.
Gu Haotian and the others put him in the carriage and watched it go away before turning back. But as it happened, this process happened to be seen by two idlers passing by.
"Brother, do you think these people are like the strangers who fought with us day and night?" An idler stared at Gu Hao for a while, and then asked another.
"That's right, it's that guy, the kid in the lead, it's the guy who was protecting the woman that night, I saw it very clearly at that time." Another affirmatively said.
"I can't imagine the hard work of the brothers inquiring in the past few days, but it turned out to be hidden here, hurry up and report to the second brother of Niu, and look for him tomorrow." The two idlers muttered a little, and then turned their heads.
In a warehouse by the Bian River, Niu Er leaned on an old wooden chair and quietly listened to the reports of the two idlers. I thought that although these people were from a foreign country, the two men in them were very good, and they had to think of a safe way to make them have a bad breath of suffering.
But seeing that he pondered for a while, and thought of some idea, he ordered the two idlers to gather good men, gather here tomorrow morning, and go out himself.
At the Shanshui Inn, Gu Haotian instructed Zhu Gui to open up the four private rooms in front of the second floor and turn them into two small boxes. I also asked people to frame the four words "sun rises and moon heng" in Chai Wenbo's handwriting in the afternoon, and hung it in the lobby tomorrow.
"With this change, there are only three private rooms left, how can we do business?" Zhu Gui asked with some concern.
"The wine and food of our inn will only be done in the future for the upper class of people, only three tables a day, each table of wine and food at least ten taels of silver or more, if there are more guests in the future, it must be arranged in advance. You'll also have to write these rules and hang them prominently in the lobby. ”
"Little official, if you do it, who else dares to come to eat and drink."
"It's okay, you just have to do it."
What Gu Hao adopted was the practice of high-end clubs in later generations, and Zhu Gui understood it.
Because he accompanied Chai Wenbo and others to eat wine for half a day at noon, after explaining to Zhu Gui, Gu Haotian only felt sleepy, so he went back to his room and fell asleep.
At this time, Niu Er was entertaining two people who looked like princes in a restaurant by the Bian River.
"What kind of characters are there behind the inn, the capital is not as good as the other places, any court official comes out, we can't finish eating and walking." The two tolerance-looking people asked after listening to Niu Er's words.
"No, the inn is open in a bad alley, what powerful people are there to support it, even if there are one or two characters who can't be on the stage, with the names of the two brothers in Kaifeng Mansion, who are you afraid of."
"In that case, you should be careful tomorrow, and we will see the opportunity to act then."
The two tolerances listened to Niu Er's analysis of some truths, and they were comfortable to be slapped by his sycophants, and maybe they could extort a sum of money from the merchant tomorrow, so they nodded and agreed, so a dirty deal for the Shanshui Inn was reached.
And the people of the Shanshui Inn were still in the dark, sleeping soundly all night, Gu Haotian got up at Pan Jinlian's call, since the accident on Bian River Street that night, this Nizi had palpitations, and she didn't dare to go out for the past two days. After Gu Haotian freshened up, he kept warm for a while, and then went out.
In the chat with Zhao Ding yesterday, Gu Haotian asked him about Xu Churen's residence, but there was no result. Gu Haotian is going to go to the Privy Council to find him today, this old gentleman is also a teacher and a friend, since he has arrived in the capital, he has to visit him anyway.
After eating some breakfast early, Gu Haotian and Bian Xiang went out. But as soon as he walked to the street, he saw a fat monk coming to him, it was Lu Zhishen of Xiangguo Temple.
"What do the petty officials want to go, but the Sprinkle family is here to fight the autumn breeze today, is it possible that you want to escape."
Lu Zhishen was also sharp-eyed, and he saw Gu Haotian and others from a distance, so his loud voice lit up.
"Since the master is here, he can't escape if he wants to, so he goes in and takes a seat."
As soon as Gu Haotian saw Lu Zhishen coming, he knew that today's trip was going to be canceled, so he led Lu Zhishen back to the Shanshui Inn.
It was still the reception room on the second floor, and after Lu Zhishen sat down, he looked east and west for a while, and said self-deprecatingly:
"I'm a vulgar monk, sitting in a delicate private room, but I'm a little uncomfortable."
"The master has seen his appearance, and he has said that the four major members of the family are empty, so what is the difference between exquisite and simple, it seems that the cultivation is not at home!" Gu Haotian quipped.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! It's still reasonable for the petty officials to say, but I, a monk for many years, have been in vain. ”
Lu Zhishen smiled heartily, and then asked Gu Haotian again.
"When I was in Wutai Mountain, I heard that the monk Zhizhen once talked about a strange incident, saying that there was a star falling to the ground in Jingdong two years ago, and you have ever known what happened from Jingdong."
"This incident is not false, it happened in Yuncheng County, the ancient minor official was young at the time, and in that incident, he was also frightened a lot, but it was a blessing in disguise, but it opened his mind, which can be regarded as a miracle."
When Xu Guanzhong got along with Wen Huanzhang and others on the mountain, he knew about it, and he met Lu Zhishen to investigate, so he deliberately talked about the process.
"It turned out to be true!"
Lu Zhishen responded with understanding, but his eyes unconsciously roamed Gu Haotian's body.
A few were chatting, but they saw the guys downstairs coming up to report, and there were guests visiting. Gu Haotian wondered in his heart, what a good day today, how could there be guests visiting continuously.
A few went down to the staircase, but saw that the person had already come in, and everyone saw that it was Xu Ning.
"Teacher Xu, how did you get here today?" Gu Haotian asked in surprise.
"The little official who lost the day before yesterday saved the little girl, and he specially took a leave of absence to thank him today."
At this time, Gu Hao saw that there were two boxes of gifts on the ground in the lobby.
"Teacher Xu is too polite, why mention some trivial things."
As Gu Haotian spoke, he stepped forward to pick up Xu Ning, and a few of them entered the living room to sit down again.
Everyone drank tea and talked for a while, and when the cooking was ready, they all went to the inner room to drink.
The gods are drunk, Lu Zhishen has never heard of it, Xu Ning has heard of it, but he has only heard of it.
When the wine entered his throat, Lu Zhishen looked at the wine glass with a sad face.
"After this wine, how can I ask the Sprinkle family to drink the bad wine of more than ten Wen, but the petty officials killed me."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Xiao Rang said with a smile:
"There is no shortage of this wine in the manor of the little official, so it is better to go back together, and you are happy."
"This is true, even the monks in the manor want it."
Lu Zhishen heard this and replied, but his eyes stared at Gu Haotian intentionally or unintentionally.
"The master is willing to come, and he will greet him below."
"So it's a deal."
Lu Zhishen and Gu Hao clapped their hands innocently.
While everyone was eating and drinking, there was a fierce quarrel downstairs. After a while, a fellow came up to report that a group of idlers had come and had to come in for a drink.
"What kind of birdman, ruined the wine of the Sprinkle family for no reason, wait for the Buddha to clean up, and then come to drink."
Lu Zhishen was on the rise, but he was stirred up, and immediately became angry, got up and went downstairs, and everyone had to follow downstairs.
"Don't sell food and drinks, what kind of bird shop you opened, my brother smashed this broken shop."
When everyone went down to the staircase, they heard a man in the lead shouting.
"Niu Er!"
When Gu Haotian saw that man, he recognized it, and immediately thought that this guy came here on purpose today, and he must not be good.
"The Sprinkle family is here, see who dares to smash it!"
I saw Lu Zhishen shouting like thunder, and then rushed into the lobby, and threw the two splashes who had already entered the lobby out of the door like chickens in one hand.
Lu Zhishen's move immediately shocked the gang of splashes outside the door, and no one dared to come in again. When Niu Er saw that the situation was not right, his eyes rolled, and he had another idea.
"The innkeeper hurt someone, the shopkeeper beat someone!"
Niu Er took the lead and shouted, and the rest of the scoundrels also ate this bowl of rice, all of them understood, and they all followed suit, and suddenly the door of the inn became a noisy vegetable market.
Lu Zhi was so angry that he was about to rush out with his fist, but was persuaded by Gu Haotian.
At this moment, I saw a few officials coming in at the corner of the street.
"What's the noise?"
"The messenger came just in time, the shopkeeper of this store maliciously hurt people, my two brothers were injured on the ground for no reason, and please be the master."
"Dong Chao and Xue Ba, the two officials of Kaifeng Mansion, who are you waiting for here?"
The two leading men listened to Niu Er's words, and without asking any questions, they broke into the inn and asked sharply.
"It's down there." Zhu Gui stepped forward and replied.
"It's hurtful, and I'll wait until Kaifeng Mansion to go."
"But it was these people who maliciously sought trouble first......"
"Right and wrong will not be said until the yali."
Dong Chao and Xue Ba didn't give Zhu Gui a chance to discern, so they called down and came over to detain people.
"What kind of bird's tolerance are you waiting for, it is clear that he is a playful accomplice, this person is beaten by the sprinkler family, only to the sprinkled family, and he will not wronged others."
The two of them were startled by the fat monk who suddenly crossed in front, but then said coldly:
"If you hit it, take it with you."
Let's say that Xu Ning stood behind and watched for a while, and saw that the two errand officers were going to take people without saying whether they were right or wrong, so they stepped forward.
"In Xia Xu Ning, he is the teacher of the Golden Gun Class of the Forbidden Army, these two pranky people are indeed unreasonable to find things first, and the officials have to ask to understand first, otherwise how to convince the public."
Dong Chao and Xue Ba couldn't imagine that a teacher from the forbidden army suddenly came out, although he was not a big official, but he had some scruples. But now it is a little difficult to ride a tiger, and at this time, Niu Er and the others are calling out for injustice in a timely manner. The two glanced at each other and secretly made a decision, so they said in a non-yin and non-yang manner:
"Teacher Xu, it's not that we don't give you face, it's just that I don't dare to break the rules of Kaifeng Mansion, and please take a step back and don't get in the way of business."
"You are clearly acting as a tiger, and as a court official, how can you watch you behave nonsense, come! Come! Come! And take me to Kaifeng Mansion to see what to do with Nafu Zun. ”
Xu Ning saw that the little errand didn't give him face, so he suddenly became angry, and he didn't retreat in front of him.
"Don't think that the teacher of the forbidden army, Kaifeng Mansion can't help you, and you will regret it." The two officers were also annoyed.
Seeing that the two sides were about to make a move, they heard a faint voice from the crowd.
"The teachers of the forbidden army are not in the eyes of the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, but I don't know that this one of you can see."
It was Gu Haotian who spoke, and he said that when he heard the names of Dong Chao and Xue Ba, he knew that the comer was not good, these two people were the most notorious in "Water Margin", and his two senior brothers Lin Chong and Lu Junyi almost died at their hands.
Dong Chao and Xue Ba suddenly heard such a voice, and their hearts "gurgle", what kind of characters are not made here, looking for the sound, they suddenly gasped, and secretly complained in their hearts, this time they can be harmed by Niu Er!
