Chapter 14: Desire to add sin
Zuo Feng, who came out of Guo Yu's house at night, was naturally very satisfied after receiving Guo Yu's countless silver coins for filial piety, humming a little song along the way, and came to the post house arranged for him by Gao Ye, although it was not magnificent, it was quite clean, although Zuo Feng was angry with Gao Ye, but for the sake of this post official, he would not trouble him. www.biquge.info Who asked him to give him a night pearl that is said to be a family heirloom, and asked him not to be angry with himself because of the high night?
That night pearl is really a treasure, Zuo Feng couldn't help but praise, placed in the dark room, full of light, it is really a rare treasure, but this also increases Zuo Feng's resentment against Gao Ye, even a small official knows how to honor our family, but you are too guarded to treat me like nothing, do you think that if you have the support of the general, our family will not be able to fix you? The dignified Lu Zhi has been cleaned up by our family, what are you doing on a high night?
Zuo Feng tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about it again and again, what kind of crime could be placed on Gao Ye to make His Majesty angry and remove him from his post and detained? There is no way to do business taxes, Your Majesty has already said that as long as you can pay taxes, this tax matter, he will change it, isn't it better to have money than anything? There is no way to say about the officials, after all, they are the officials who resigned by themselves, and these people appointed by Gao Ye have been approved by the imperial court, so naturally there are no taboos. Well... It's better to say that he used the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban thieves committed a great crime, Gao Ye actually did not punish them, but gave them fields, if His Majesty knew, he would definitely not like it. When the time comes, he will add fuel and vinegar, saying that the taxes paid by Gao Ye are all forcibly snatched from the family, and the family in Yingchuan is already on the verge of anger, just afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel, and when the time comes, this Gao Ye will definitely be removed from his post and investigated! Okay, that's it!
After Zuo Feng slept a few well, he received an invitation card, the person who invited the guest was Guo Yu, and the place of the invitation was in the West Market, not far from the Piaoxiang Building in the high night, known as the Ming Rank Building, a century-old store. This shop is said to have been opened by Guo Gong in this Yingyin City, he was originally a family of Yang Zhai, but he has been an official in Yingyin for 20 years, which allowed his family to open this restaurant here, which can be regarded as subsidizing the family's income. It wasn't until he became a lieutenant that the restaurant did not stop operating.
As the largest restaurant in Yingyin City, coupled with the power of the Guo family behind it, naturally no one dares to come here to make trouble, and the Guo family has gradually declined since Guo Hui, and this restaurant has become even more indispensable. Speaking of the name of this restaurant, in fact, Guo Gong originally named him Minghui Building, which means above board, but later his son Guo Hui felt that the name of this restaurant was the same as his own name, and he didn't like it, so he changed it to the rank of order, after all, their family studied the law, and such a name was reasonable.
It's just that although Zuo Feng has only been here for three days, he also knows that the best restaurant in Yingyin City is Piaoxiang Building, although Guo Yu has a lot of filial piety to him the day before yesterday, but he is not in the best restaurant today, what does this mean? Although Zuo Feng was dissatisfied in his heart, for the sake of filial piety, he still came as promised, and as soon as he entered the restaurant, he was welcomed to the best room upstairs by Guo Yu, who had just arrived.
"Guo Yu, have we heard that the best restaurant in Yingyin is the Piaoxiang Building, why don't you go there and come to such a place?" Zuo Feng asked with an unkind face.
"Father-in-law, you don't know, today my brother Guo Yi and Guo Fengzhong are going to come in person, and together with your father-in-law, find a way to clean up this high night. That Piaoxiang Building is Gao Taishou's industry, and there are many people, so I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate. The place is his property and absolutely safe. ”
"Oh? Is it Guo Fengzhong of the Yang Zhai Guo family? ”
"Exactly, besides, the reason why Piaoxiang Lou is famous is just a novelty of the dishes, and I, the shopkeeper of the Ming Rank Building, also have some ability, and I have dug up several cooks from them, and now, I don't have to be worse at all for the dishes of the Ming Rank Building, father-in-law, you will know as soon as you try it."
"Hmph, but in the end, it's the Yang Zhai clan, and the shelf is not small." After Zuo Feng sat down, he said coldly.
"Well, I think he's almost there, and you know, father-in-law, it takes a lot of time to prepare gifts." Guo Yu hurriedly replied. This Zuo Feng seems to really love money, and if he doesn't use this trick, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm his current mood. But Guo Yi is really, he called us to come when he came, and he hadn't arrived yet.
Although Cao Cao Cao arrived, but now Guo Yi is not bad, and after speaking, this Guo Yi walked upstairs. As soon as he entered the door, he confessed first, and bluntly said that he was preparing a gift, and it was too late. When he was on the stairs, he heard Guo Yu playing a round for himself, and he was naturally happy to go down the stairs now, and he was indeed delayed a little because he was preparing a gift for Zuo Feng.
Saying that, Guo Yi put the gift list on Zuo Feng's table silently, Zuo Feng opened the gift list, glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel very relieved, the Guo family really deserves to be the Yingchuan family, and the shot is really extraordinary. Immediately Guo Yi said: "There is another gift, which is the cherished thing of my Guo family, that is, this jade pendant, which was given by the ancestor Guo Hong by Emperor Guangwu, which is very precious, and it is given to my father-in-law today as a meeting gift." ”
Having said this, Guo Yi's heart was almost dripping blood, this is the jade pendant that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu gave to his ancestors, how precious it is, but today he wants to give it to others. When he saw Guo Yu's letter, he said that it was difficult for Zuo Feng to help wholeheartedly without heavy treasures, so he reluctantly cut his love and brought this jade pendant as a gift. If you hadn't delayed for too long when deciding whether to send it or not, you wouldn't have been late. But now Gao Ye is the biggest threat to his family, with Guo Jia's hatred for himself, and he has been blocking Gao Ye recently, if Gao Ye is not eradicated early, I am afraid that I will finish the game first. At this time, a jade pendant is nothing at all, if the family is uprooted by the high night, it will be a real catastrophe.
Zuo Feng saw that this jade pendant was crystal clear, and he knew that it was not an ordinary product, and when he heard that this was an old thing from the period of Emperor Guangwu, he was even more happy in his heart, such a treasure is really rare and unwanted! I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart, and after the wine and food came up, my heart was even more comfortable. I also went to the Piaoxiang Building yesterday, and the dishes are similar to here, it seems that what Guo Yu said is not bad, this chef is really poached.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Guo Yu opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder what method my father-in-law already has to deal with that high night?" If there is anything that needs our help, my father-in-law will say so. ”
"I've been thinking about it, and it's good if I could be charged with other crimes, but now, I think I can only start with this yellow scarf." Zuo Feng said slowly, and after speaking, he took another chopstick dish and said with a smile: "This high night, but the red man in front of the general, even His Majesty loves him very much, and if you want to move to him all at once, it will take a lot of effort." ”
Guo Yi is naturally not stupid, it seems that this Zuo Feng is not enough! couldn't help but say: "It's just that according to the ability of my father-in-law, I think there is no problem." My father-in-law didn't even pay attention to Lu Zhi, so what was the dilemma for my father-in-law on a high night? ”
"Eh, that's not what I said, what kind of person you do, what kind of price you pay. From the very beginning of fighting against the Huns to the pacification of the Yellow Turbans, which is not something that His Majesty loves. What's more, he presented His Majesty with his secret recipe for brewing burning knives, and His Majesty was even more pleased. Now that he has paid a large amount of taxes to His Majesty, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Jane in the emperor's heart. Zuo Feng still said lightly, "Although I don't like him either, but my weight alone is not enough, if there is a word from my father in front of His Majesty, it will be difficult to sit in the high night." ”
Guo Yi twitched his cheeks, but he still said ruthlessly: "Zhang Changzhi is there, naturally filial piety is indispensable. Father-in-law, when you set off to go back, pass by Yangzhai and take it back with you. ”
"Haha, naturally." Zuo Feng said with a smile, "These yellow turbans actually dare to rebel against His Majesty, not only did Gao Ye not punish them, but he actually gave them land to plant, and they were full every day, such a thing as helping the rebels, don't you go to the court?" If you don't say, how can Your Majesty know? Zuo Feng said his plan lightly.
When Guo Yi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, why didn't we dare to divide the yellow scarves in the prison before? Isn't it just that you are afraid that Your Majesty will blame you, and when the time comes, you will treat yourself as a chaotic party? Now Gao Ye not only sells privately, but also keeps the biggest wave in his hands, and entertains him with delicious food and drink every day, what is this doing, isn't this just raising a thief and preparing to rebel! Such a good crime, how can I forget it!
"My father-in-law is reasonable, I will go to the book tomorrow, and I will be charged with raising anti-thieves and having bad intentions!" Guo Yu was even more excited.
"When the time comes, as soon as your recital book is on, plus what our family has seen and heard here, and then my father will beat the side drum for you, don't worry, that high night, even if you don't die, you have to shed your skin, let alone continue to serve as this too guard."
Guo Yi and Guo Yu both nodded frequently, admiring Zuo Feng's clever tricks in unison. The two even toasted Zuo Feng with a glass of wine, and as soon as they took a sip, they heard a voice sneering: "The trick is good, but I heard it all, what's the use?" ”
Zuo Feng and Guo Yi were both stunned, Guo Yu squirted out a sip of wine directly, if Guo Yi hadn't sat far away, it was estimated that he would have been sprayed all over the face.
As soon as the words fell, the door of this private room was opened, and I saw four people standing outside the door, the one at the head, who was not Gao Ye? As for the two behind Gao Ye, Guo Yu saw that the old man with soft legs and stomach, the white beard, and the middle-aged man in his thirties, weren't they Xun Shuang and Zhong Xuan! As for the last little ghost, he didn't know him, but seeing Guo Yi gritting his teeth at him, Guo Yu knew that this little ghost was his unconscious younger brother Guo Jia.
"Okay, what kind of crime should you be guilty of secretly colluding with each other to plot against a county guard!" Gao Ye sneered: "Don't force me to do it, let's go to the yamen with me by myself!" ”
