Chapter 144: Another Big Incident
Besides, Zheng Du flickered for a few days, and after Liu Million reorganized the dishes, the small hotel opened its doors again. www.biquge.info If you want to say that Liu Million is still a bit of a brain, otherwise Bai Gui would not have specially recommended it. Liu Million has been with Bai Gui for a long time, and before coming to Zhengdu this time, he was personally ordered by Zhou Bian, so he was naturally handy in doing business.
On the first day, I went to the hotel, and the next day I went to get the money to get through all kinds of relationships, and then reorganized the menu, renovated the store a little, trained the guys, and the small hotel opened its doors again. This new door is invited by some people with heads and faces on this street, the tax collector who collects money, the doorman who takes care of Gongzizhao, the official who guards the city, and the idler leader on the street, all of which are taken into account. So after that, this business was easier to do, and there were many more customers than before.
Another few days have passed, and the business of this hotel is getting better and better day by day, and Liu Qiu is naturally doing his old job, and he is getting busier and busier day by day.
It was a rare sunny day in early winter, and there seemed to be more guests than yesterday. Liu Qiu either held a plate or held the wine jar, shuttling back and forth between several tables, and there was no time to be idle. Suddenly, another guest shouted, "Man, bring me the wine." ”
Liu Qiu, who wanted to take a breath, had to run again, and replied, "It's here." Immediately bent down and hugged a jar of wine and left. This sake is all locally bought in Zhengdu, and although it is far worse than soju, it is also deeply loved by Koreans.
Now the original small private rooms in this hotel have been changed to half a package by Liu Million, that is, half of the wooden planks between the private rooms have been removed, which can only just block the heads of guests, which is quite like some fashionable restaurants in later generations, which is naturally the idea passed on by Zhou Bian. So before he got closer, Liu Qiu heard the chatter of several guests in the private room.
I only heard one person say in a loud voice, "Something big happened in Luoyang, do you know?" ”
Liu Qiu, who already has a sense of intelligence, suddenly heard someone mention his hometown at this moment, which naturally attracted attention, so he slowed down his pace and listened with his ears pricked up.
"Isn't it the royal family returning to Luoyang?" The other wondered.
"Of course not, that was two months ago. I'm talking about something not long ago, and I heard a brother of mine who has business dealings with Luoyang say that something big happened in Luoyang again, and someone actually assassinated the Son of Heaven on the street. ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, a shrill sound sounded beside him, startling several customers who were being whetted their appetites, and when they looked back, it was actually a young man in the store who had accidentally dropped the wine jar in his hand to the ground.
This young guy is naturally Liu Qiu, and when he heard that the king was assassinated, he couldn't control it under his excitement. Fortunately, the wine jar fell to the ground and disturbed those guests, and also woke up Liu Qiu, seeing that those people were angry, Liu Qiu hurriedly came, "A few masters, are they small, I apologize to you." Pack up the small ones and send them back later! ”
Hearing the movement here, Liu Million also immediately came over, and immediately smiled when he saw this, "I disturbed a few masters, is it ours, my little nephew, a little sheep's horn, occasionally trembling hands, it will be good to drop things, I will definitely beat him when I go back, see if he still has epilepsy." ”
"What is epilepsy?" One of the guests was curious, apparently his anger had dropped.
Liu Million was about to explain, but unexpectedly, another guest said loudly, "Just now, a few of our masters were talking well, but they were frightened, just say no?" ”
Seeing that it attracted the attention of the guests at the other tables, Liu Million immediately smiled. "Then let's send a jar of wine, this jar of wine doesn't cost money, how about it?"
The loud guest nodded before, in fact, he was really not scared of anything, it was really good that the store could send a jar of wine, and suddenly no one asked what epilepsy was.
Seeing that the guests had no objections, Liu Million smiled at a few guests, then turned around and yelled at Liu Qiu, "It's better to clean up quickly and serve another jar of wine to these masters." ”
"Yes." After Liu Qiu agreed, he immediately bent down and cleaned up.
Liu Million turned around and walked back to the counter, alas, when the shopkeeper is to lower his body from time to time, how can he be comfortable with the previous mortgage, but this is arranged by the king, and it must be done well.
The guests were very satisfied with this treatment, so they continued to talk about the topic, and they didn't notice that Liu Qiu, who was squatting on the ground to clean up the broken pottery shards, listened word for word.
The man from before continued, "You don't know, I heard my brother say that the royal family is not recruiting thousands of new soldiers, that day, Zhou Tianzi was about to visit Dingdingmen to watch the troops, and he got into the carriage and set off from the palace to Dingdingmen. To say that the Son of Heaven is also afraid of death this week, a carriage is actually made like a house, with walls on all sides and a roof on it, isn't this afraid of assassination? ”
The other guests were obviously amused, and couldn't help but nod their heads.
I heard that of course the carriage was walking on the street, and suddenly dozens of men appeared on the roofs on both sides, and they did not shout, but they shot out together and threw the short spears in their hands at the carriage. Although this carriage has walls and a roof, it can only defend against ordinary bows and arrows, where can it prevent short spears, but the short spears are much heavier than arrows, and the power is great, so as soon as this short spear is thrown, it immediately pierces a carriage like a ball of thorns, and a few spears actually pierce the carriage and come out from the other side, and the people who throw these spears are really powerful. ”
The man stopped when he said this, this really made people anxious, and a guest hurriedly asked, "Really, how could Zhou Tianzi die like this?" Alas, it's a pity, I just returned to Luoyang Wangcheng. The others followed suit, but apparently more curious than concerned, but no one noticed that the young man who was squatting on the ground gritted his teeth, but his hands still trembled involuntarily.
"Of course what I just said is true, brother, how can I lie to you, this news has already reached Zheng Du, and everyone on the streets and alleys has been talking about this in the past two days. No one really paid attention to the Zhou royal family before, and since the royal family returned to Luoyang, everyone still loves to speak Luoyang's words. If you don't believe it, go and inquire, Zhou Tianzi was not assassinated not long ago, but he didn't die. At the end, the man's voice was getting lower and lower.
"Ah, how is that possible? Didn't you say that the spear pierced the chariot? The crowd was clearly unbelieving.
Seeing that everyone was coming sideways, the man became proud, "But isn't it, the short spear stabbed the carriage through the heart." However, you all thought that Zhou Tianzi was in the carriage, those assassins also thought so, and the onlookers in Luoyang also thought so, but the king was not in the carriage. ”
"Didn't you just say that Zhou Tianzi got into the carriage and set off from the palace?" One person was puzzled.
"Yes, that's what everyone thinks, and if I had said at the beginning that the king would not sit in the carriage, would you have listened so well? Hehe. To say that this week's Son of Heaven is really fateful, when he was about to leave that morning, news suddenly came from **, saying that the Queen Mother was suddenly unwell, and the king hurriedly gave up the carriage and horse and rushed to **. The ministers had no choice, and they were afraid of delaying the hour, so they let the king's carriage take the first step, and when the king was optimistic about the queen mother, the car would come quickly, and some people said that the prince was going to pull the empty carriage to run, making people think that the Son of Heaven was going to watch the army, anyway, it was far away, and no one could see it clearly. Either way, it's just an empty car. That's what the words from Luoyang said, everyone said that the ancestors blessed it, and they didn't think about it, so Zhou Tianzi escaped a catastrophe. The man said proudly, and he danced with his hands.
The king who listened was fine, Liu Qiu sighed, and when he saw that the things were almost finished, he got up and walked in the direction of the counter, but he didn't hear the last few words on the table. It's really a mess of concern, and I don't know if this news is accurate, so I messed up, and it seems that I need to pay more attention to it in the future. However, as long as it is news from Luoyang, it is natural to pay attention to, so Liu Qiu put down the broken pottery pieces that he had packed up, picked up a jar of wine, and walked quickly towards the small private room.
Halfway through, I heard the man continue, "If this happens, the Zhou royal family naturally can't tolerate it." If you ask the Assassin if he has caught it, he will have caught it. It is said that Zhou Chamber's luck is not endless, how can he let the assassin escape. Therefore, the guards of the Son of Heaven were ruthless at that time, and none of those assassins escaped, they were either killed on the spot or captured alive. ”
"And who are those assassins?"
Hearing this, Liu Qiu was also concerned, and suddenly slowed down his pace again, pricked up his ears, but hugged the wine in his arms a lot tighter.
The man didn't make a sound immediately, and after taking a sip of wine, he felt that it was still not enough, so he reached out to get the wine jar, but the wine jar was empty, and immediately shouted, "Shopkeeper, what about the good wine, bring it quickly." ”
Several other guests also became anxious, turned their heads and urged, but when they turned their heads, they saw Liu Qiu. Liu Qiu hurriedly ran two steps, nodded and handed over the wine jar, and after filling the wine cups in front of several guests, he bent down and retreated.
The man took another sip of wine, and then said, "Those assassins, they are all from Luoyang, I didn't expect it." But think about it, Luoyang is the fief of the Duke of Zhou, after the death of the previous Duke of Zhou, the royal family did not support the Duke of Zhou to succeed the Duke of Zhou, but occupied Luoyang himself, no wonder the nobles of Luoyang have ideas in their hearts. So this time, some nobles took action, and there was this assassination. ”
"Actually, I think it's okay, Luoyang was originally a royal city, and it was originally the Son of Heaven, so what do you want to go back to? It must be those nobles who want to rebel. One of the guests thought for a moment and said.
"This is not right for you, although King Zhou is the Son of Heaven, but how can there be a reason to come back from the land that has been sealed, otherwise our Zheng is also the Son of Heaven, does he still want to go back, how can it be reasonable! The return of the royal family to Luoyang this time has already caused Han Hou to be unhappy, thanks to the royal family sending ministers to explain, otherwise, hmph, his royal family can sit in peace until now. The man who spoke earlier immediately retorted.
"Brother Tai's words are not recognized, I don't think it's the ministers sent by the royal family who explain it usefully, but Han Hou has just suffered a defeat and doesn't have the energy to pay attention to it, otherwise he will definitely intervene to support the son of the late Duke of Zhou." Another person said.
Just now, there happened to be a table of guests leaving, Liu Qiu pretended to accept the plate, hid to the side and listened, hearing this, he immediately frowned, it seems that these words must be known to the king.
"Be cautious, be cautious. In the national capital, how can you speak so presumptuously. An old man said in a deep voice, and the others hurriedly covered their mouths, and when they saw that no one was paying attention, they raised the wine cup and made a circle of wine.
But apparently there were still people who were curious, and after a round of drinking, only one person asked, "Then the king of the Zhou family found out that it was done by a few nobles in the city, what happened?" ”
The man was still unsatisfied, waiting for someone to ask. "Good question, brother, I'm about to stop here. I heard that in those two days, there was a river of blood in Luoyang City. Although he was fine, but someone dared to assassinate him on the street, Zhou Tianzi was furious, and immediately transferred the veterans in the city, not to mention, and sent thousands of recruits outside the city with weapons, all of them were transferred into the city, and those nobles were killed in the family without leaving a piece of armor, and since then Luoyang has lost several big families! ”
Everyone was talking about Zhenghuan, and when they said this, they suddenly heard a long sigh from a table next to them, and the loudness of the voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and it turned out to be a middle-aged man who was alone at a table and poured himself a drink.
