Chapter Twenty-Eight: Feasting and drinking paper in chaotic times

Jiangmen City, noon, Wangjiang Tower

"City Lord Yu didn't expect Jiangmen City to have such a unique place? The door of the building is set up according to the river, climb the building to face the wind, caress the Si people, look at the river, the waves are magnificent, this situation and this scene, it makes people feel refreshed and happy. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Zichen stood on the Wangjiang Tower, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, the breeze was blowing, and he couldn't help but rise with a sense of arrogance, feeling this feeling, Chen Zichen sighed at Yu Yunzhi.

"Lord Chen is so interesting, I didn't expect a small Wangjiang Tower to arouse Lord Chen's affectionate feelings, this nature, it is also lucky." Yu Yunzhi stood next to Chen Zichen and looked into the distance, but he didn't feel this way, but he still echoed Chen Zichen and said.

"Lord Yu must often come to this Wangjiang Tower?" Chen Zichen asked sideways.

"Haha, this is all guessed right, brother, yes, looking at several restaurants in Jiangmen, only Wangjianglou is favored by me, it is really a good place to drink and indulge." Yu Yunzhi said with a smile on his face.

When it was, all the guests sat down, and there was a record of the banquet and drink in the Jianglou, the officials of Jiangmen, all of them, all of them should be complete, Yu Yunzhi was the leader, and Chen Zichen was the first, and there were several people from the naval army camp.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

"Brother Chen, take the liberty of asking, is there a good way to suppress bandits?" Yu Yunzhi remained silent, and asked directly. Yes, it's so direct, so direct that you have to say it.

Chen Zichen squinted his eyes and replied to Yu Yunzhi: "Don't hide it from the city lord, I have some ideas, but I still have to rely on the city lord's support." ”

"Huh? Haha, easy to say, easy to say. Yu Yunzhi said slowly and leisurely with the strength of the wine, and promised Chen Zichen with a mouthful.

Lu Huan didn't drink much, of course, it wasn't that he didn't like to drink, but he was not suitable for drinking on this occasion, he found an interesting thing, that is, those who drank a lot and ate a lot were basically some officials who were small-talking, they basically had no chance to speak, they were all eating and drinking in twos and threes, and those officials who were relatively large were all drinking less and talking more, seeing this banquet as an opportunity to communicate, it was obvious that many people's small circles could be seen at the wine table, just take Han Li They also said, although they are sitting here, But it's just a few sailors talking in a whisper together, I don't know what they're talking about, but look at them for a while, look at this, and look at that, you can also see that they have some scruples when they speak.

Looking at Yu Yunzhi and Chen Zichen sitting in the main seat, Lu Huan couldn't hear what they were saying, but they never stopped, they seemed to have a lot to say, and they laughed heartily from time to time, which could also prove that the two of them talked very quickly. There was nothing to say as originally expected.

"City Lord Yu, do you know about this Jiangmen water bandit?"

"I am dissatisfied with Brother Chen, I still know a little about this water bandit." Yu Yunzhi took a small sip and said.

"Oh? Can you tell me a little bit about it? Chen Zichen became interested in this matter.

"The leader of this water bandit is said to be called Du Bantian, who was originally a big water bandit across the water of Waichu, with about 20,000 bandits gathered under his hands, and he usually makes a living by operating various water businesses, we are not only adjacent to Qi Chu here, but also from Chu Water down to Qin State, not to mention that it is not far from the land of chaos, so there are also some contacts. It turned out that this Du Bantian was just a small water bandit, and then somehow he collected all the big and small water bandits on the Waichu Water and formed an army of water bandits. has always dominated Wai Chushui, and there is also friction with my Jiangmen. Yu Yunzhi was happy and told Chen Zichen the matter clearly, these news can be found by anyone who knows, since Chen Zichen intends to ask him, what if he bothers more?

Chen Zichen thought about Yu Yunzhi's words for a while, he habitually had to think about things from the position of the person who spoke, Chen Zichen would not forget the guy who fought with him last night and called himself Yao Sanjiang. So he asked: "City Lord Yu, is there a man named Yao Sanjiang among the water bandits?" ”

Yu Yunzhi didn't know why Chen Zichen specifically asked Yao Sanjiang, but at a glance he caught a glimpse of Han Li who was drinking, so he knew it, so he said: "This Yao Sanjiang turned out to be a small water bandit in Neichushui, of course, it doesn't mean that Jiangmen City doesn't send troops to encircle and suppress them, but they grew up by eating this water, and they rely on this to survive, you know, the place is not easy to manage, plus they don't disturb the people, so they just turn one eye open and close one eye, who wants to trouble more." ”

Chen Zichen nodded, the words are not rough, this is the truth, when the water is clear, there are no fish, who says it is not.

Seeing that Chen Zichen agreed with what he said, Yu Yunzhi continued: "This Yao Sanjiang is also a big grinning person, and he is usually very popular in Neichushui, but somehow, just two months ago, he disappeared in Neichushui, I don't know where the people came from got all the thousands of people in Neichushui outside, no, what Chushui army was formed a few days ago, Du Bantian called himself a general, Yao Sanjiang was appointed as a general somehow, and he was known as an army of 50,000 to the outside world. In fact, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people. The last attack on Jiangmen was one time, plus one yesterday, a total of two, both of which were led by Yao Sanjiang. ”

"Oh? In this way, Yao Sanjiang was originally from Qi State, and now all the water bandits in the Inner Chu River have been recruited to the Outer Chu River? Now there are no water bandits in Neichu water? Chen Zichen was a little surprised, and asked with some confusion.

"Is this not, this Yao Sanjiang has been mixed with Jiangmen for many years, and he has a very clear understanding of the Jiangmen waterway, and he comes and goes freely in Neichushui and Jiangmen, and is not affected by other influences at all. Otherwise, he could lead the bandits to attack Jiangmen twice easily? With his urine temperament, Du Bantian will seal his troops and give him a beautiful concubine? Du Bantian didn't have to rely on Yao Sanjiang to be familiar with the terrain of Jiangmen, so he besieged Jiangmen. Yu Yunzhi studied the water bandits very thoroughly, and even told Chen Zichen his own opinions, as the lord of Jiangmen City, a dignified and upright official, how could he be afraid of the little water bandits.

To be honest, in Yunzhi's opinion, he has never taken the water bandits seriously, he thinks that these water bandits are at most a whim, if they really take Jiangmen, will they operate? Yu Yunzhi kept beating, squeezing out the Jiangmen water army without fear, he was not afraid that the water bandits would really take the city, he thought that the water bandits were just bluffing now, and they would negotiate enough interests with the imperial court.

"Oh? The city lord Yu sees the water bandits very thoroughly, and he is just a temptation of profit for everything. Chen Zichen did not deny Yu Yunzhi's words.

"So, Brother Chen, you don't have to worry about the bandits, it will naturally be solved after a while, and Brother Chen will naturally be able to return to Beijing to recover his life." Yu Yunzhi patted Chen Zichen's shoulder with a smile, raised his glass and took a sip, and said with a red face.

Chen Zichen understood Yu Yunzhi's words, and he finally knew in his heart why the water bandits were so arrogant, even if the Jiangmen water bandits didn't happen now, when Qi Guo took the entire Chu Shui, he would come back to suppress the bandits, but the matter broke out in advance, forcing Chen Zichen to do it now, although the conditions are not ripe yet.

"Haha, City Lord Yu is really relieved, what if the water bandits really besiege Jiangmen City?" Chen Zichen asked rhetorically.

"A bandit is a bandit, and he doesn't have that much ability." Yu Yunzhi still didn't believe that the water bandits dared to really attack Jiangmen, he still believed that the water bandits were just to strengthen their capital.

"Haha, I hope it's like what the city lord said." Chen Zichen raised his glass and drank it all with Yu Yunzhi.

"Big brother, what are you talking about with the surname Chen and the surname Yu? Chatting so happily, it seems that some conditions have been reached. The adjutant general of the Navy Army looked at Chen Zichen and Yu Yunzhi clinking glasses, and said to Han Li.

Han Li also muttered in his heart, and even regretted that he had spoken so quickly and told Chen Zichen about it, and now he couldn't figure out what kind of person Chen Zichen was. There were even some suspicions that the information he received was inaccurate.

....。

Push the cup and change the lamp, and the wine and food are full

"My lord, what did the man surnamed Chen say to you? Why are you so worried? Scarface appeared in front of Yu Yunzhi again, looking at Chen Zichen in the distance, revealing a wicked smile.

"I'm afraid he's going to do it against the bandits soon, and I'm worried about how much time it will take. What got you in touch, how was the contact? Yu Yunzhi didn't look drunk at all, but his face was still a little ruddy, and he said worriedly.

"He agreed, and he was very satisfied with the sincerity of the adults, and he would stop for a while until the surname Chen left." Scarface seemed very happy that this had happened, and replied with a smile.

"Hmph, these people are not for profit, as long as there are enough benefits for them to earn, I am not afraid that they will not be moved." Yu Yunzhi squinted, his eyes revealing a fine light.

"What the adults said is that so many of them have to open their mouths to eat, and with the things sent by the adults, will they not be tempted?" Scarface said with a dark smile.

The two men looked at each other and smiled.
