Chapter 19: Betrayal of Wenjiazhuang
Accompanied by Zhou Botong, Master Wen made a tour of the Zhuangzi, encouraged his subordinates, and then returned to his house. The maid www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion has already prepared breakfast, her children have already eaten breakfast and run to the yard to play and play, and the older children have already gone to the private school teacher who invited them to attend classes. He has always paid great attention to the education of children, for no other reason, Wu Chao is very respectful of scholars, if he can have the fame of Xiucai, he can be exempted from taxes on a large piece of land, and if the fame is higher, he will be exempted even more. Master Wen himself didn't know many words, and he had a distant relative who was a Xiucai, so he put all his land and property under the name of this Xiucai. Now, although he has almost 2,000 acres of cooked land, and he still opens up many hidden fields in the forest, when he harvests autumn grain every year, it is only a tax of thirty or forty acres of land.
At this time, listening to the sound of reading in the distance, he couldn't help but revel in it, and the white rice porridge in his mouth became delicious. Suddenly, he was stunned, the porridge in his mouth tasted really fresh, and he couldn't help but eat a few more bites. After eating the porridge, he felt very strange, he knew the skill of this cook, when could he make such a umami porridge? So he called for the cook.
"Master," the cook was a little trembling at first when he came in, but when he saw that the master did not show a gloomy face, he was not so afraid, and when he heard that the master was asking how to make such a umami porridge, he immediately became energetic.
"A few days ago, I went to An Yuncheng to buy, passed by a teahouse, and was attracted by its fragrance, the store was really overcrowded, and the small one also went to taste it. I only think that Rao is an ordinary dish and it is very fragrant, so the little one also wants to steal such a craft to serve the master. The slightly fat cook hurriedly presented a high hat to Wen Xinyi to put on. But the guys in the shop didn't know, and the people in the back kitchen were silent, so the villain secretly climbed the window and watched for an hour or two. I just think that when they cook the food, they are not much different from the small ones, but they will sprinkle something when they come out of the pot at the end, and then the small ones find this. ”
As he spoke, the cook took out a small piece of paper from the pocket of his clothes, on which were written two words, "MSG". The cook continued to say mysteriously, "The little one finally found this MSG in a rice shop after wandering around the city, and came back and tried it himself, and sure enough, it was full of umami, and these pirates really had good things." ”
Wen Xinyi twitched for no reason when he heard this, and immediately felt a feeling of wanting to run away from the bottom of his heart. He was suddenly stunned, "What pirates?" What does this MSG have to do with pirates? ”
"This?" The cook was also stunned, "This MSG is sold by those pirates in Dongfang Port, it's really expensive, a small package is only three yuan, and it costs one or two silver." But it tastes really good......"
With a "snap", Wen Xinyi slapped the table fiercely, "What? Is this a pirate thing? ”
"Yes......" The cook was a little scared at this time, he had seen Wen Xinyi angry on weekdays, but he had never seen Master Wen with a hideous look on his face at this time, "Master...... This ......"
"Someone's coming!" Several housekeepers hurriedly rushed in, "Pull this cook out for me to serve in the family." ”
"Sir!" Seeing this, Zhou Botong on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This matter is not proper, this cook is nothing more than to better serve Master Wen to buy these goods, the master must have called the cook to inquire because he felt that the taste was very good, and he didn't know about the festival between the master and the pirates, so it was better to reprimand him......"
Wen Xinyi slapped the table again, which startled Zhou Botong too, "When did I punish my cook make you worry about it?" You're a scumbag guru who also came to teach me? Someone! ”
The housekeeper on the side hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand, "Master." ”
"Take two taels of silver to this surnamed Zhou, leave Wenjiazhuang for me today, don't let Master Ben see you again." Drag me to the backyard firewood room and tie me up, starve for three days. ”
Zhou Botong didn't have any personal belongings in the first place, but since he was kicked out by Wen Xinyi at this time, he returned to his room and took a few clothes casually, packed up his baggage and went out. Walking on the streets of the village, the common people have already gone out of the village to work at this time, only some villagers are still patrolling the streets, and only a vendor with a stall is left on the side of the road. This peddler knew that he had just come over a few days ago, and he had brought a lot of needles and threads in the barn, and in order to be able to set up a stall in Wenjiazhuang, he also spent a few taels of silver to treat these villagers. I wonder if these needles and threads can sell for so much silver?
There was only one Xiang Yong standing guard at the door, and that Xiang Yong saw that it was the head of the sect, and arched his hand to him: "Zhou Jiaotou, where are you going?" ”
Zhou Botong was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the second child of the Ruan family. This young man is a sincere person, he is quite respectful to himself on weekdays, and he rarely oppresses the people, and if he sees his companions molesting women, he will come forward to obstruct one or two.
"I have been swept out of the house by Master Wen, and I am no longer the head of Wenjiazhuang," Zhou Botong arched his hand at him and replied.
"How is that possible?" Ruan Xiaoer couldn't help but be a little stunned, he was holding a bird gun in his hand, and he couldn't help waving it twice, almost calling out. "If this Wenjiazhuang does not have the jurisdiction of the head of the sect, these family members will inevitably do despicable things if they neglect to discipline them......"
Zhou Botong lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I was kicked out after just a few words, but it's okay, this Wenjiazhuang is not a place for me to stay for a long time after all, so it's better to leave early." ”
This Ruan Xiaoer looked left and right, and couldn't help but stomp his feet, and rushed to Zhou Bo's channel, "The head of the sect, please wait for a while, the little one will come when he goes." ”
Zhou Botong was stunned for a moment, and saw Ruan Xiaoer running into the gate of the village with a smoke, and about a quarter of an hour later, he saw him running over with a bag on his shoulder, followed by four or five young people dressed as villagers or family members.
"Me and these companions are people who have long been reluctant to be in Wenjiazhuang for a long time, since Zhou Jiaotou is going to leave at this time, you might as well take me and wait together, we have enough of this bird Zhuangzi." Ruan Xiaoer said as he pulled Zhou Botong out of the gate.
Zhou Botong's head didn't turn at this time, and he was troubled by this Ruan Xiaoer, I don't know which one he made trouble.
"I don't want to oppress the people on weekdays, but people are soft-spoken, and finally there is a good person like Zhou Jiaotou who is willing to stand up for the people of Wenjiazhuang, but he was driven away by the surname Wen. I won't stay any longer, so let's go with Sect Leader Zhou. ”
"Yes." "That's right, I see the people being bullied on weekdays, and it's useless to talk, and since Zhou Jiaotou has also been driven away at this time, I might as well wait and leave." A few villagers in the back also spoke. It was very lively for a while, and at this time there was no one at the gate of the village, and this group of people walked far away in a quarter of an hour.
This group of people who left Wenjiazhuang walked towards An Yuncheng for a short time, but they saw smoke and dust billowing in the direction of An Yuncheng, as if a large army was marching in. Hands up! ”
Zhou Jiaotou and those family members were startled, and hurriedly raised their hands, but there was no one around, and soon several people covered in thatch stood up from the side of the road or in the woods, holding a few strange things in their hands. I don't know what it is, but looking at it like a bird holding it up to me, it must not be a dry tobacco stick.
They met several members of the veteran special investigation team led by Beiwei, who were pioneers three kilometers before the team went in the direction of the procession, and used walkie-talkies to report the road conditions and pedestrian conditions along the way. Originally, He Yayun suggested that it would be enough to kill them directly and leave two alive, but Beiwei vetoed this proposal, after all, he was unwilling to use such a method to kill, and it would be good to capture a few more prisoners to understand the situation in Wenjiazhuang.
"Captured a captive?" Du Yande was a little stunned, according to the map drawn by the special investigation team several times, it is still almost six kilometers away from Wenjiazhuang, can the prisoners of Wenjiazhuang be caught here? Isn't it too mysterious? These villagers from Wenjiazhai also knew that they were out to reconnoitre, so how could they contact the base camp six kilometers away?
"Yes, but these captives are a little different from what we thought," Li Jieqi smiled and handed over the note sent back by the special investigation team in front of him. "See for yourself."
Du Yande frowned and took the note, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but smile, "This is not a prisoner, is it?" Right? He laughed as he spoke.
Zhou Botong and the others were brought to the pirate camp, which was completely different from what they imagined, these pirates had neither a guard of honor nor a big sword or spear, but all of them carried bird guns, these bird guns looked very sophisticated, and the guns were glowing with a blue luster that they couldn't understand what they were made of. Each of the pirate soldiers wore the exact same straight uniform, which did not necessarily fit, but they were muscular, and they all wore rattan helmets with metal cockades on their heads, which gave them a very majestic look. The pirates lined up in a neat line, and the pirate leaders walked on the right side of the line, and they marched together in an orderly manner to the beat of drums and piccolo.
Zhou Botong is also well-informed on weekdays, but he has never seen such a neat team, judging from this team alone, even the most elite strong army of the Wu Dynasty is nothing more than that, and it may even be inferior. What kind of pirate team is this? He couldn't help but mutter.
In the middle of the line was a big car, and there was a big shed on it, and there were some strange shelves on the roof of the shed, and some reflective boards, and I don't know what it was for. In fact, the car is equipped with high-power antennas and solar panels, and this car is a mobile communication center, and all messages will be sent here and then to the rear.
