Chapter 4 A small push

Yuboda let go of the cruel words, and caused everyone to laugh loudly, and Yuboda, who was angry and blushing and thick-necked, snorted heavily, slapped the mud seal on the altar, and drank the altar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This wine is really not an ordinary wine, although it is not as good as the 65 or even 75 degrees of the burning knife of later generations, but there are 50 degrees, which is more than twice as strong as today's wine.

As soon as this wine entered his mouth, Yuboda knew that he had planted it again, although this wine was extremely mellow, more fragrant than any wine he had ever drunk, but as soon as this wine entered his throat, it was really like a fire, knock knock, he couldn't stand it after drinking three sips in a row, and put down the jar to take a breath.

As soon as everyone saw this posture, they burst into a burst of violent laughter, they had all been tricked when they first came, and their ugliness was still fresh in their memories, in line with Lao Tzu's mentality of being ugly and ugly, these people were looking forward to the newcomers going back to their old ways, and they were so angry that they laughed at others.

Drink it in three sips, Yu Boda is a little up, and was ridiculed by everyone, the wine is rubbed on the head, yelling Lao Tzu is not convinced, lifting the jar and drinking it, without waiting for him to drink a few sips, he was completely dizzy, his body shook twice and lay on the ground, the wine jar also fell to the ground and shattered, and the fragrance of wine wafted in the hall for a while.

Everyone laughed loudly, Liu Zheng was also happy, clapped his hands, and seven or eight family members came up to carry You Boda down, and the family members were experienced in doing this, so they carried people to the guest room without Liu Zheng's instructions, and then left people to take turns to take care of them.

Leaving aside Yuboda, after everyone in the hall laughed, they began to eat meat and drink wine, and the atmosphere in the Juyi Hall soon reached a climax, these heroes of the rivers and lakes are very fond of making friends, and often two bowls of wine can be called brothers, many of these people only came to Zhuangzi a few days ago, and they have eaten twice at the small banquet, but they have not participated in the gathering of so many people, and now they are very happy, dragging the people around them to keep drinking, according to the words of later generations, it will be fifteen or sixteen minutes, The people in the hall were basically drunk.

Liu Zheng has been watching silently from the side, drinking with Old Man Wei and Zhou Yun without a sip, and when the people below have almost drunk, Liu Zheng stood up with a bowl of wine.

"Brothers, I can't come to the village to have a drink with my brothers these days, I'm sorry!"

Liu Zheng was only halfway through this, when he saw these drunks in the hall shouting: "It's okay, it's okay, the owner of the village is busy with his own business, and he doesn't need to care about vulgar people like me." ”

Among these voices, many people were completely drunk, and one of them even stood up and shouted: "Owner, go and do your own business, just prepare us more dragon meat and good wine on the earth, haha, brothers, you say yes!" ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone in the hall laughed and shouted yes, but the faces of the old man Wei who was sitting in the first seat and the little Guan Gong Zhou Yun who was sitting in the second seat were dark, especially the old man Wei, who was almost angry to death by what this person said, if this was on his own Zhuangzi, such a bastard would have been thrown out by himself a long time ago.

muttered hatefully: "What kind of thing, prepare more good wine and meat, what the hell do you have to eat these every day!" ”

Listening to Old Man Wei's muttering, Liu Zheng smiled slightly and didn't care, cleared his throat, put on a sad expression, and looked at everyone: "Brothers, I also want to eat wine and meat with my brothers every day, but this wine and meat are ......."

The man who shouted for more wine and meat laughed and said: "If the owner of the village wants to be shy, I have nothing to do, so I will go into the mountains to hunt some game, and the owner only needs to prepare wine!" ”

Liu Zheng really wanted to laugh, he was afraid that he would ruin his plan by laughing, so he hurriedly lowered his head to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, then adjusted his mood, raised his head and continued to say with a sad expression: "It's not that brother, I can't afford this money, but ......"

Everyone was waiting for Liu Zheng to continue, but Liu Zheng didn't say anything about it, these heroes of the rivers and lakes and the heroes of the green forest, which one of them was not urgent, seeing Liu Zheng so mother-in-law, he suddenly felt unhappy, and one of the men stood up and said: "The owner of the village is not happy, if there is anything difficult, just say that he is waiting with me, I am waiting for so many people here, what else can I not do?" ”

"yes, yes!" After this man finished speaking, everyone in the hall echoed him.

One of the men in the corner had a flash of light in his eyes, and after taking a sip of wine, he suddenly stood up and smashed the bowl to the ground with a thud.

This sudden move startled everyone in the hall, and they all turned their eyes to the man, and after waiting for a while, the man said hatefully: "You know how to eat, eat, eat, but you know that the hungry people in this Qingzhou city are eating people, where is the owner going to find grain for you to make wine?" ”

After this man finished speaking, a person not far away stood up with a laugh and said, "What do I say, in these years, when did people not starve to death, what does it mean to say this?" ”

"That's it, in these years, only those who don't starve to death can be called fresh!"

"Hey, who said no, in this world, if it weren't really helpless, brother, I wouldn't fall into the grass!"

"What my brother said is that in the past year, countless people in our county have died of starvation, and no one has buried the dead on the street! If I hadn't survived, I wouldn't have followed people up the mountain! ”

"In these years, there are dog officials everywhere, who only make money for themselves, and never care about the life or death of others!"

"Who said no, I'll tell you something, in the nineteenth year of Wanli Ye, there was a locust plague in our county, the scene was really miserable, the bark was called locusts to gnaw away, the county didn't know how many people died, and in the end people really couldn't live, I went to the county lord to ask the county lord to open a warehouse and release grain, the county lord insisted on not allowing it, who cares if you are hungry and anxious, at that time it was against his mother, killed the county lord to the granary to see, all dumbfounded!"

"Why are you dumbfounded?"

"Hey!" The man laughed and said, "After opening the granary, what do you say, there is no grain in it at all, it is all soil, a whole warehouse of soil!" ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, a person followed him and said heavily: "These county masters are not afraid of thunder and thunder!" ”

Seeing that everyone in the hall was talking to the granary, Liu Zheng knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had come, so he cleared his throat, and everyone quieted down when they heard this, and then turned their eyes to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng sighed softly before he said: "No matter what the years and months, the disasters and famines, and the people who starve to death are all those of us who suffer haha, those county lords, those gentry lords, they are absolutely not hungry!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zheng paused slightly, and then said: "Shandong suffered a disaster this year, last month it was reported that many people in the village starved to death, all the brothers know that my father and I are walking in the yamen, know a lot of official news, last month the new prefect Wang Wang gave the emperor a notebook, and asked the emperor for disaster relief, this is a month has passed in a blink of an eye, there is no news at all, there was a heavy snowfall last night, the house collapsed countless times, and it is good, the people not only have to starve but also freeze, I don't know how many people will die now!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zheng tilted his head imperceptibly and glanced at the person who dropped the wine bowl, and after seeing that the person nodded slightly, he continued: "You don't know, before I came, a big incident happened in this Qingzhou City!" ”

"What's the big deal?" Someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The granaries in the city are gone!"

"Huh?" As soon as Liu Zheng's voice fell, several people exclaimed.

"This, this, this is true?" Old Man Wei, who was sitting in the first place, stood up in surprise and looked straight at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng nodded lightly and said, "Old Man Wei, this is indeed true!" ”

"This, what kind of sin has been created, God wants to punish us like this haha!" Old Man Wei sighed fiercely.

Liu Zheng smiled disdainfully and said: "This is not a heavenly punishment at all, this is a man-made disaster, someone deliberately set fire to the granary!" ”

"What!" Xiaoguan Gong Zhou Yun was about to take a sip of wine, but he didn't expect to hear such words, the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he was shattered: "Second brother, this is true!" ”

"How can anyone be so unconscionable!"

"That's it, that's it, who is that man, let's go and get him and skin him!"

"Yes, skinned him!"

For a while, everyone in the hall was in a commotion.

Old Man Wei Boyuan Wei stroked his beard and looked at the crowd in a hurry, and only after a long time did he ask, "How did the virtuous nephew know about this!" ”

Liu Zheng knew that Old Man Wei was not a foolish person, and he had long thought that Old Man Wei would ask such a question, so he hugged his fists and said: "Old Man Wei, my father and son have been walking in the public gate for many years, and they still know a little about the things in the yamen!"

……

When Liu Zheng returned home from Zhuangzi, it was already night, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his personal maid Ruyu anxiously waiting at the door, and before Liu Zheng could speak, he saw Ruyu hurriedly ran to two steps in front of him and said: "Young master, you can come back, the old man lost his temper when he came back in the afternoon, and then he has been sitting there without speaking, and he has not eaten until now!" ”

Liu Zheng was not surprised by this situation at all, nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you go and ask the cook to heat up the dishes!" ”

"Hey, the maid is going to ......" Ruyu answered and went to the kitchen.

Liu Zheng entered the hall and saw his father Liu Chengzong sitting there without saying a word with his eyelids drooping, like a wax man, so he laughed twice and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you, are you enlightening the meditation of closing your mouth?" ”

Liu Chengzong raised his eyelids and snorted: "Little rabbit cub, you still know to come back!" ”

Liu Zheng touched his nose and said, "Of course I know that my son is back, otherwise where would I go to spend the night?" ”

Liu Chengzong's eyelids drooped again, and he said calmly: "Where can't you go when the world is so big?" For example, the Zhuangzi in Xiema Village! ”

As soon as Liu Chengzong's voice fell, Liu Zheng looked at his father in surprise and said, "Dad, you know?" ”

"Don't take your dad for a fool!"
