Chapter 36 Idle Chess Pieces
Mengshan cottage, Zhang Meng was brought into the hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Gai Shixiong sat in the middle, his face full of doubt. He was a big man with a yellow face, black bags under his eyes, and obvious overindulgence. The henchmen on either side of Gai Shixiong seemed dismissive. One of them sneered: "Heipi, you don't enjoy Qingfu in Taiping Cottage, what are you doing here?" “
"Master Gaimeng, the last time the autumn wind in Taipingzhai broke the rules of the mountain, my eldest brother has always felt guilty. This time, the brothers were lucky to kidnap a few beauties, and the eldest brother ordered the brothers to come and invite the alliance leader to take a long look, I wonder if the alliance leader has Yaxing? "Is it really a beauty?" When he heard this, his eyes glowed green.
Heipi took out the portrait of Yan Jiakang's sketch and said: "Alliance leader, these beauties are singers from Nanjing, and all the white and pink sable cicadas say that Jiangnan women have a unique charm and are like fairies." These portraits of women, please take a look at the alliance master! Gai Shixiong took the portrait and immediately said with a radiant face: "It's rare that Brother Li has a heart, go back and tell Li Zhong that I will go to have long eyes tomorrow!" “
Zhang Meng took his leave. A subordinate took the portrait and said in a daze: "It is said that Jiangnan women are beautiful and beautiful, small and exquisite, big brother congratulations!" "Li Zhong is flattering and praying for self-preservation, but the beauty king will not refuse, tomorrow you will go to Taipingzhai with me." Several of his subordinates laughed.
"Alliance leader, this matter is very strange, will there be fraud!" A sharp-beaked monkey gilled master wondered. "You said that Li Zhong wanted to harm me, just a few rotten pears from him, the brothers around me could swallow them, and the master filtered them!" "Alliance leader, the old man thinks it's better to be careful. Bring more people tomorrow, if Li Zhong plots against him, take the opportunity to destroy Taipingzhai! "Master's idea is good, if Li Zhong has misdeeds, I will take the opportunity to set foot in Taiping Village and eliminate this hidden danger!"
The next day, Gai Shixiong took the 100th person and went straight to Taiping Cottage. In the Taiping Cottage Gathering Hall, everyone is waiting anxiously. At this time, a minion rushed in, "Big brother, Gai Shixiong has arrived at the bottom of the mountain with the number one hundred and ten!" Li Zhong was in a hurry when he heard this, "Close the door of the cottage immediately!" ”
Li Zhong continued: "Brother Yan, could it be that Gai Shixiong has seen our bad intentions!" "Big brother, our purpose is to transfer Gai Shixiong out, even if he sees it, it doesn't matter. Open the gate and greet the guests. "Brother, there are many of them, if we fight and fight, we will suffer a big loss!" "Big brother, don't worry too much, you wait in the stockade, and my single brother and I will go out to meet the enemy."
Gai Shixiong rode a tall horse and led a large group of men and horses to the front of the walled gate, and found that the gate was open and there was no one. "Alliance leader, Li Zhong is really cheating, he can't go in!" The master dissuaded. "Damn, Li Zhong is dying, brothers are ready, listen to my orders to rush in and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" At this time, a subordinate stepped forward and shouted: "Li Zhong, what the hell are you doing, show your face a kind, otherwise we will be killed." At this time, Li Zhong stood up and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Gai Alliance Leader, Li had no intention, but the Alliance Leader was forced to do so." It's not a long-term solution to send people under the fence, and today we will make a decision! ”
"Li Zhong, I think you are a man, take back what you have said, this king will spare your life. Since one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, this king will see how capable you are! At this time, Yan Jiakang and Shan Feng jumped out of the gate on horseback, and about 50 meters away from each other, the two of them restrained their horses. The rifle is stuck in the saddle, and you can't see the clues without looking closely. The bandits quickly set up their positions as if they were facing a great enemy. Yan Jiakang took a cursory glance, the number of the other party was about one hundred and ten, and there was a yellow-faced man sitting on the first horse, and more than ten big men on the left and right of the horse were still serving, obviously several King Kongs of Gai Shixiong. “
"You're Gai Shixiong?" "Yes, this king is, who are you?" "It doesn't matter who I am, I'm here to take your head. Listen, next year today is your anniversary! Saying that it was too late, it was too fast, Yan Jiakang took out his rifle and raised his gun to aim at the sky in one go. With the sound of a gunshot, Gai Shixiong was still shot in the head in a daze, and he fell off his horse. Shan Feng also took the opportunity to draw his rifle and shoot, and one of his henchmen was knocked down. Yan Jiakang fired continuously, and several henchmen were shot to the ground one after another. The bandits were in chaos, and some people shouted: "The leader of the Gai League has been killed, the master of the Gai League has been killed!" ”
The bandits were in chaos, and at this time Zhang Meng led the brothers to kill out of the walled gate. The bandits immediately collapsed and fled. Yan Jiakang and Shan Feng pulled out their pistols and Pegasus to intercept them, as if no one was in a no-man's land. An hour later, the bandits were escorted into the cottage. Yan Jiakang and Shanfeng rode majestically on their horses, and the bandits squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Li Zhong ordered to pull out Gai Shixiong's henchmen and click on the spot, and as soon as the heads of several henchmen fell to the ground, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked master suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Li Meng's master is above, and the little one is the work of dogs and horses!" "We will defect to the leader of the Li League, and we will follow the work of dogs and horses!" The bandits shouted in unison.
Li Zhong said triumphantly: "Brothers, Gai Shixiong is innocent of death, and this king made this decision out of helplessness. In the future, brothers follow me, and this king will never treat you badly! "Li Zhong quickly changed roles." Li Meng's lord is gracious, and the small one has no two hearts. "Brethren, today the two brothers of this king showed their hands and easily took the head of Gai Shixiong. Let me tell you, the king's brother has two people, and he will kill the man who is full of urine and urine, and he will not be able to form an army, and if a large group of men and horses come, it will not be enough to stuff his teeth. ”
The purpose of Li Zhong's intimidation was to make these bandits who defected to the bandits stop rebelling. Yan Jiakang and Shan Feng also cooperated closely, holding guns to show off their might and circling around several times, so frightened that the bandits did not dare to come out.
That night, the bandits who used Toucheng to cooperate with the outside and took the old cave of Gaishi Xiongmeng Mountain without doing anything. At the celebration banquet, Li Zhong raised his glass and said: "Brother Yan, Brother Shan, what a hero, don't say anything about gratitude, as long as the elder brother needs it in the future, there will be no ambiguity!" "Big brother, you don't have to worry about it. Now you are still the leader of the alliance in Lunan Mountain, don't forget your promise! "Please rest assured, brother, if Li breaks his promise, he is willing to die at your gunpoint!"
"Big brother, these two rifles are given to you, for self-defense, even if it is my meeting gift!" "Brother, I know I can't keep you, if it's convenient to stay a few more days!" "Big brother, I also want to stay for a few more days, but I can't help myself in the rivers and lakes, so I'll go back tomorrow morning. We'll see you again in the long run. Big brother, brother's current name is Ge Yunfei! Yan Jiayasu raised his glass.
The next day, Yan Jiakang and Shan Feng said goodbye and went down the mountain, and on the way Shan Feng said: "Brother Ge, Li Zhong is polite, but in fact, he can't wait to let you go, this man is scheming." "Whether it's scheming or sincerity, it's fate. It's love to help each other, even if I take a step to idle chess."" Idle chess pieces, what do you mean? "An idle chess piece is a casual step taken by two people when they play against each other, which seems to be useless, and shows murder at a critical moment." Yan Jiakang smiled slightly, and waved his whip. Shan Feng did not know and urged the horse to follow.
When the two arrived in Tai'an, it was getting late and decided to rest in the city for the night. After finding an inn to stay, the stomach was troubled, and the two went to the street to enter a restaurant. The business of the restaurant is good, the seats are full, and there are people at several tables. Only one person in charge of the small restaurant is busy, and the guests are left to find their own place. Shan Feng pointed his finger, and Yan Jiakang found that there was only one guest dining at the table in the corner. The two stepped forward and Yan Jiakang hugged his fists and said politely: "This old brother is disturbed!" "It's okay, please take a seat!" After taking a seat, Shan Feng went to Zhang Luo to eat.
The guests at the table seemed to be ashamed to see people, and bowed their heads to eat and drink. Yan Jiakang observed that this person was about 40 years old, with a gentle and elegant appearance, a round face and a goatee, and a pair of eyes that were very bright. This person is very well-dressed, not a poor and sour person, but there is only a bowl of noodle soup in front of this person, and the noodle soup is soaked in dry steamed buns. Yan Jiakang guessed that this person was hiding in the corner and making steamed buns, and eighty percent of them were shy in their pockets.
After the wine and food were served, Yan Jiakang instructed Shan Feng to bring up another wine glass and put it in front of the guests to signal. "Guest, why is that?" "Sir, when you are away from home, you will inevitably encounter difficulties. There is a saying that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero. You're welcome! "The guest officer has a heart, and the contemptible person is ashamed. I don't hide it, I am shy in my pocket, so I have to make noodles and soup! "Sir, what are people waiting for when they eat for the sky?" The man hesitated for a moment, then picked up a chicken leg and devoured it.
After eating the chicken legs, he picked up his glass again, dried it up, and then closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while. "I'm ashamed, I scared the two of you. To tell you the truth, the contemptible person hasn't had enough food for two days! "Sir, don't worry!" Yan Jiakang then accosted: "Listen to the accent of Mr., but it is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang!" "The guest officer has good eyesight, I am from Shaoxing!" "It is said that Shaoxing is a master, but sir?" "Contemptible Hu Boyong, I came to Tai'an on the recommendation of a friend, and said that I would be a master for Cheng Zhifu!"
"But people are not as good as heaven, where did I think that Cheng Zhifu was dismissed a few days ago. There is not much left of the coil, so it is like this. Yan Jiakang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Hu, the contemptible Ge Yunfei will fill the vacancy of the Zhoucun County Order in the near future." In the next talent, can Mr. Hu help! Like catching a life-saving straw, Hu Deyong immediately knelt on the ground: "Master Ge is above, Hu is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" "Mr. Hu, please get up quickly, don't be formal."
"Mr. Hu, this is the will of God, which shows that we are destined. Introduction, this is my brother! "Under the single peak! I've met Mr. Hu! Hu Boyong looked at the minister after seeing the ceremony and said: "The old man guesses that Master Ge is Hou Zhi!" "Sure enough, it's the master, he has a unique vision, and he can't hide it, this official is recommended by the governor, and he is waiting for the official document of the imperial court." Hu Deyong flattered: "If Lord Ge can be appreciated by the governor, he must be a young talent with a bright future, and he will soar in the future!" ”
Yan Jiakang said: "Mr. Hu, with all due respect, the master who is the official cannot flatter, but solves problems for me. Be concise and to the point, be meticulous and resolute in your work, you know? "Master Ge taught me a lesson, Hu remember!" "I don't know how much my master earns a year, how about an annual salary of 1,000 taels?" "Lord Xie Ge!" Hu Boyong bowed his head again. Yan Jiakang knew in his heart that Hu Boyong could be a master for the prefect, and he would not be a straw bale.
Half a month later, in the evening, Governor Yang Shixiang held a family banquet, which was unprecedented for an outgoing sesame official, which was unprecedented in history. The officials who came were all prominent figures in the governor's yamen, and Yang Shixiang solemnly introduced Yan Jiakang and praised him as a rare young talent. Yang Shixiang focused on what he did in the Zhaoyuan gold mine, which was praised by the officials. Yan Jiakang understood what Yang Shixiang meant, that is, to tell everyone not to make trouble for Yan Jiakang, and the implication was that he was my person.
Originally, Yan Jiakang wanted to give an inaugural speech, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea. Two days later, Yan Jiakang embarked on a journey to Zhou Village.
