Chapter 200: The Hongmen Banquet ("Cold √ Bridge" Reward and Change)
Yang Yi nodded without a trace, and saw Qingmu Ying greet him, hugged his fists and said: "Haha, why did Brother Wan come now, my brother thought you were too busy to come." ”
"Brother Qingmu, what are you talking about, I can not give anyone face, how can I not give you face in Wuxian Village?" Wan Yue patted Qingmu Eagle's shoulder vigorously with one hand, and it seemed that the two of them seemed to be very familiar.
Qingmu Ying raised his hand and smiled: "Brother Wan, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go with me to the village to drink two jars of wine." ”
Wan Yue laughed and followed Qingmu Ying to the mountain: "Brother Qingmu, why don't you see Lord Dou?" ”
Qingmu Ying laughed in his heart, this Wan Yue has always been ruthless, and it is a lie to come here to give himself face, but he is actually still afraid of Dou Xu and his 7,000 army.
"Brother Wan, don't worry, I was about to talk to you about this, Lord Dou has been unwell recently, and he rarely comes out to meet guests, so he specially sent his proud protégé A Gongzi to greet Brother Wan."
Dou Xu rarely comes out to meet guests, but he is definitely not unwell, how could he, a Dazhou Sima, come to greet these dirt bun bandits, so he asked Yang Yi to come to meet him in name, and by the way, he could let Yang Yi know people.
"Huh?" Wan Yue was obviously a little unhappy.
Qingmu Ying didn't know, and pointed to Yang Yi in front of him: "Brother Wan, this is the son of Jiabao Yujia, who is Lord Dou's most proud protégé, and is deeply loved by Lord Dou." ”
In the past few days when he came to Wuxian Village, in order to find clues, Dou Xu had to give Yang Yi many privileges, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was more like a teacher's performance of valuing students.
Even if Wan Yue was no longer happy with Dou Xu's slackness, he couldn't show it at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Yang Yi with his one-arm and said, "I have heard the name of Gongzi Jia for a long time, and today I can see that he is really a young talent." ”
Yang Yi secretly laughed in his heart: I have heard of the name for a long time, Lao Tzu himself has never heard of who Jia Baoyu is.
At the moment, he hurriedly replied: "The master of Wanzhai is serious, and he didn't come out with the teacher to experience it in his later years, and I hope that the master of Wanzhai will give more advice." ”
"Haha!!" Wan Yue felt much more comfortable when he heard this, he had always been looked down upon by those literati officials, but Yang Yi knew each other very well and spoke very well.
Wan Yue said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I can't talk about advice, if Gongzi A needs help, just look for me Wan Mou, as long as Wan can do it, he will never refuse!" ”
The two shivered and praised each other a few more words, and Qingmu Ying smiled: "The mountain is windy here, let's go into the village and drink two bowls of water and wine to warm up our bodies." ”
Everyone crowded around and walked towards the village, and Yang Yi observed Wan Yue and the people he brought with the corner of his eye as he spoke.
The one-armed Yaksha Wan Yue can basically rule out that none of the masked bandits in the night post station had broken arms, and the small leaders under Wan Yue did not find anything unusual for the time being.
After Wan Yue arrived, basically all the big and small bandits in the entire Shu Road arrived. That night, the blue-eyed eagle ordered the stockade to slaughter pigs and sheep to prepare for a feast.
When all the leaders of the cottage gathered together, as the initiator of this banquet, Dou Xu finally appeared at the banquet.
Due to the blockade of news, except for the blue-eyed eagle, the other bandits didn't know why these high-ranking Chengzhou Sima Dou would lead so many officers and soldiers to the mountains, even if they got some rumors, they only knew some fur.
After Dou Xu came out, a gang of bandits naturally inevitably went up to boast and pat the horse, what Dou Xu is the blue sky, what Shu is missing Dou Xu, it is all nonsense without connotation.
Dou Xu didn't say much, just let everyone sit separately.
After three rounds of drinking, Dou Xu didn't seem to want to listen to these bandits talk nonsense anymore, and went straight to the point.
"Everyone" Dou Xu put down the wine glass, and as soon as Fang opened his mouth, the hall fell silent.
Dou Xu smiled, squinted his eyes and looked around, and said with a smile: "This time, this official personally led his troops into the mountain, but he actually wanted to ask everyone to do me a favor." ”
The bandits glanced at each other, and Wan Yue, who was sitting at the bottom, said: "Lord Dou, why is this, if you have anything to do, just pass the word, we will do our best, why do you still drive you to run in person?" ”
"Yes, yes, the Lord of Wanzhai is right."
"I'll do my best to do my best for the adults."
Dou Xu nodded, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows the rules on our Shu Road, and everyone has been fine for so many years, but now, someone has messed up the rules." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Wan Yue doubted: "Can you say it clearly?" ”
"I won't hide it from you, a month ago, the Neikou Post Station of Shu Dao was sacked by a group of bandits, the goods worth 10,000 taels of Wanfu Commercial Bank were lost, and more than 50 guards of the caravan were all slaughtered."
"What! Is there such a thing? ”
"What a dog is so daring!"
"If you want Lao Tzu to know, you have to be slaughtered!"
As soon as Dou Xu spoke, the lobby suddenly exploded, and everyone scolded one after another, these bandits are used to being casual on weekdays, and they don't know whether they are really angry or fake angry, and they are gearing up to find out the murderer.
Seeing that Dou Xu's face was not good, Qingmu Ying coughed heavily and stood up, waving his hand: "Everyone, you are quiet, and listen to Lord Dou's words." ”
After drinking for a long time, he finally quieted down, and Dou Xu held back his anger and said, "So I invited you here today to ask you to help my official." ”
The one-armed Yaksha Wan Yue said, "My lord, but you want us to find the murderer?" If so, give us some time, and we'll be back in a month's time!" ”
"Not bad! This kind of unruly person should be cut with a thousand cuts! ”
"When we go back, we will immediately send someone out to investigate!"
The bandits were noisy again. Yang Yi, who was standing next to Dou Xu, saw that his face was gloomy and his heart was funny, a high-ranking official of Dou Xu's level, no matter where he went, the people below could only listen to his orders quietly, where had he ever encountered a nest of small birds like a bandit, and he didn't give Dou Xu face at all, the typical thing is that Xiucai met a thief, which is more terrible than encountering a soldier.
"Bang!!" Dou Xu finally couldn't help it, and slammed the wine glass on the table.
The hall finally quieted down, and they all looked at Dou Xu with some surprise.
Dou Xu didn't seem to have the patience to go around the bend anymore, and condensed: "Yes, this official really needs you to help me find the murderer, but I don't need to go back to find it, but I must find the murderer here!" ”
Everyone was surprised, and they didn't understand what Dou Xu meant.
Wan Yue said: "My lord, how to find the murderer here?" ”
Dou Xu said with a cold face: "Hmph, now that the bandits of the entire Shu Dao are here, then the murderer must be among you, the old man asked one by one, until he asked!" ”
A bandit exclaimed: "My lord, where did you ask this, besides, although most of the people came, there are still some village owners who did not come to the banquet..."
"You don't have to worry about this, the old man has already sent troops to destroy the stockade that did not come to the banquet, and you will be able to see their heads in front of you in three days." Dou Xu said coldly.
At this time, the entire lobby was unusually quiet, and now everyone understood that this was a wine banquet with no return, and the question that Dou Xu said about the murderer naturally could not be a simple inquiry.
Yang Yi was also a little surprised in his heart, Dou Xu's move was not ruthless, it was completely a quick knife to cut the mess, and it could be seen that this old man was really anxious.
At this time, the one-armed Yaksha Wan Yue stood up, glanced at the Qingmu Eagle on the side, and saw that the Qingmu Eagle was also shocked, obviously he didn't expect Dou Xu to act like this.
Wan Yue looked up at Dou Xu and said coldly: "Lord Dou, I don't understand what this matter has to do with us, we have also handed over the money that should be paid every year, we have always acted according to the rules, and we have never violated the agreement with the government." ”
Dou Xu didn't look at Wan Yue, and laughed: "Haha... Hahaha... Arrogance, you little bandit dare to talk to this official about the rules? ”
Wan Yue was not afraid, and continued: "In this case, I want to meet Master Gao Zuozhen and let him judge for us!" ”
It turns out that this Wan Yue is different from the Qingmu Eagle, he often walks closer to Gao Zuozhen, and has also been protected by Gao Zuozhen, at this time, Gao Zuozhen moved out naturally to warn Dou Xu not to mess around.
If it was in the past, Wan Yue's trick might really work, after all, although Dou Xu and Gao Zuozhen fought against each other for power, they did not reach the point of fighting each other, and the two sides needed to take into account the attitude of assassinating Shi Taohe, so the two would not blatantly move each other's people under normal circumstances.
But at this time, as soon as Wan Yue said this, Yang Yi knew that this guy was looking for death.
Now Dou Xu is already anxious, why is he so anxious to find something, he is afraid of long nights and dreams. Yang Yi didn't know if Tao He would intervene if he knew that Dou Xu wanted to get that thing, but it was certain that once Gao Zuozhen heard the rumors, he would definitely not let Dou Xu succeed easily.
Sure enough, Dou Xu's squinted eyes suddenly showed murder, and the right hand holding the wine glass gently turned the wine glass.
"Are you threatening the officer?"
Wan Yue thought that Dou Xu was frightened by himself, and snorted: "I don't dare, but I think that we naturally have the rules of Shu Dao in this Shu Dao Mountain, if there are no rules, then it's not messed up?" ”
"Haha... Rules, a good rule on the Shu Road. Dou Xu sneered: "Today, the old man will let you see what the rules are, come on!" Take down the thief! ”
As soon as the words fell, the doors and windows around them opened widely, and a hundred and ten officers, sabers, and axes poured in, and there were many archers standing in the outermost part who were drawing bows and frying.
The bandits in the lobby suddenly all stood up, unexpectedly that since Dou Xu had so many sword and axe hands lurking around, he obviously wanted to poison everyone for a long time.
"Big... Seeing this, the blue-eyed eagle hurriedly said: "Leader Wan is just in a hurry, and he bumped into the adult, and I hope that the lord will be gracious." ”
This matter has been completely out of the control of the nominal master of the Qingmu Eagle, if something happens to this Wan Yue here, then the Five Immortal Village and Tiandang Mountain will undoubtedly have a mortal enmity.
Na Wan Yue said: "Lord Dou acts like this, aren't you afraid of attracting the resentment of the people in Shuzhong!" ”
Yang Yi sighed in his heart, this person, he really won't die if he doesn't do it, it is clear that Dou Xu wants to see the knife today, and this Wan Yue is still desperately hitting the knife edge, this is really stupid to kill himself!
