Chapter 13 Diao Min
"How can it be!"
Zhou Shixiang's solemn face suffocated Cheng Bangjun, who had been out of office in the third year of Yongli, and he was extremely angry, but laughed instead of being angry: "It is funny that a talented person who has not entered the official also dares to check the identity of his official." This official asks you, what kind of official are you doing in our court, and what qualifications do you have to check the identity of this official? β
After speaking, he turned his head angrily to Hu Laodao: "Hu Quan, this official is coming on behalf of the imperial court, you just don't want to accept the order, why do you want to humiliate this official so much, don't you think that the imperial court really can't cure you!" β
Without waiting for Boss Hu to speak, Zhou Shixiang was already at a loss, and couldn't help but say: "The adults keep talking about the imperial court, and they are not talented, may I ask my lord, where is this imperial court now?" Which court is this place under its jurisdiction? If we really disrespect your lordship, what are you going to do with the court in your mouth? β
Zhou Shixiang was very disgusted with this young member of the Nanming Army, he just wanted to confirm the authenticity, but this surnamed Cheng put on an official stand, and also went online, using the Yongli Imperial Court to scare, this kind of behavior is too naΓ―ve, I think it is because the other party is too young to be an official in the Yongli Imperial Court, and has too little experience. In other old people, if they don't say a word, they will be tested, so that is the way to win over, at least, it can also show that the Yongli court is full of sincerity, and it will not make people suspicious and leave anything behind.
Boss Hu wanted to open his mouth to explain a thing or two, but after hearing Zhou Shixiang's words, he didn't plan to say anything. The men in the house had long been dissatisfied with Cheng Bangjun and the Southern Ming Dynasty he represented, and naturally no one helped him speak, and they were all grinning at Cheng Bangjun's jokes.
The four guards brought by Cheng Bangjun were a little embarrassed, but they knew that this Daqiao Mountain area was not a Ming land, and at the moment the imperial court was powerless against these bandits, and they were fighting up and down with the help of these bandits to temporarily relieve the pressure of the Qing army. This Lord Cheng is too, these people have fallen into the grass and become bandits, how can there be any court in their eyes, and they are coaxed to sell their lives, so why bother to be rash. It's a big deal, if you can't go here and then go to the next place, this hero and bandit in the mountainous area of western Guangdong is not his Daqiao Mountain family, so why do you have to delay time here. You know, this time what they brought was not a piece of paper printed on the silk, but a genuine official body and a big seal, as long as they accepted it, they would immediately be the military attache of the Ming Dynasty, and there were always people who couldn't resist the temptation of being officials. Those who are willing to serve the imperial court.
Cheng Bangjun will also faintly regret that he shouldn't have said that, the so-called punishment, but he was intimidating and threatening, where can he be true, now he is being pointed out in person, he has nothing to say back and his face is also very hot, and his perception of Zhou Shixiang has fallen to the bottom, looking left and right is not pleasing to the eye, and a word subconsciously pops up in his mind - Diao Min.
"Test! Why don't we give it to the test, and why do we say we can't test it! β
Song Xianggong, who had never expressed his opinion on this matter, suddenly walked to the middle, put up a banner to support Zhou Shixiang, and he raised his voice to Cheng Bangjun: "If you don't check it, who knows if what you brought is true or false?" β
Hearing him shout like this, Peng Dazhu hurriedly shouted: "Yes, it must be tested!" Hell, I wonder if you Yongli Imperial Court have made a bunch of fake things to fool us again! When you don't need us, you will turn your face and refuse to admit it! β
Zhao Sihai was afraid that it would not be lively enough, so he stared at Cheng Bangjun and the others and said with a smile: "A few of you came to our village early in the morning and said that on behalf of the Yongli Imperial Court to absorb us, but from beginning to end, I heard you Cheng say there, and our brothers can't tell the truth from the false." If it's true, if it's false, how do I know that you weren't sent by the Tartars to trick us down the mountain? β
"I don't know anything else, but the official uniform on this kid was just changed in front of our village, and he looks like five people and six people, but the brothers didn't see the way they were dressed before, and the outfit is not as good as ours!" Ge Liu pulled his throat and smiled evilly.
It's okay not to talk about it, but as soon as he said it, Cheng Bangjun's face turned even redder. Since Li Dingguo's army retreated to Guangxi, except for Gaozhou and some coastal territories that were still in the hands of the Ming army, the rest of the places were occupied by the Qing army. Therefore, in order to hide his identity and not be exposed, Cheng Bangjun and his entourage have been wearing ordinary people's clothes these days, and only when they see the person they are looking for will they change into official uniforms to show the majesty of the Yongli court. But this righteous teacher and bandits are nesting in the mountains, from one place to another, that has to go through the mountains and mountains, so many days, the clothes on several people have long been torn, and they dare not wear the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty on their bodies, so they are very embarrassed, and they look like asking for food.
If it weren't really good to go back to his life, and he wouldn't have the face to go back empty-handed, Cheng Bangjun would have run away a long time ago, where could he bear such a crime. Sven swept the floor, and the official authority was not there, and he was embarrassed to think about it.
But blushing is blushing, Cheng Bangjun can't accept being teased by the bandits, in his opinion, Zhou Shixiang's request is to humiliate him, he has already explained his identity in an official uniform, why bother to check other things! The big seal cast by the imperial court and the official identity certificate issued by the court can be fake!
On the one hand, he wanted to test, and on the other hand, when the two sides were deadlocked, Boss Hu spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Cheng, since the brothers want to test, let's test, it's not a bad thing to be safe." β
"Humph!"
Cheng Bangjun snorted coldly and wanted to open his mouth to dismiss, but when the words came to his mouth, his heart moved, and he asked Boss Hu instead: "If it is true, you Hu Quan is willing to serve the imperial court?" β
"This"
Boss Hu hesitated again, he just wanted to see if what Cheng Bangjun brought was true, but he didn't have the idea of giving his life to it.
Seeing that Hu Quan was the same as before, Cheng Bangjun refused to let them test, he was really impatient to stay here any longer, and he was about to leave when he raised his legs, but he heard Zhou Shixiang say: "Lord Cheng, can I wait for a discussion before making a decision?" β
"Huh?" Cheng Bangjun stared at Zhou Shixiang noncommittally, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Song Xianggong also said: "It's okay, this matter is very important, we must discuss carefully before we can decide, come here, please Lord Cheng and a few brothers go to the next room to rest for a while." After speaking, he glanced at Boss Hu, and Boss Hu was silent when he saw this.
"Well, the official is not in a hurry to leave."
At this point, Cheng Bangjun agreed with the intention of turning around. Immediately, someone led them to the next room.
After the others left, Boss Hu looked at Zhou Shixiang suspiciously, and asked, "What did Brother Zhou mean by taking people away?" β
