The man who had almost been hit by the horse was lying on the ground and moaning, as if he had been hit lightly.

Liu Wei frowned. Just now, it was clear that the horse should have been restrained, and the horse's head was still at a distance from the man on the ground, and the man obviously fell down on purpose.

At this time, four more people rushed out of the alley. stood in a horizontal row and stopped in front of Liu Wei and the others.

One of them, a young man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a pimple on his face arched his hand at Liu Weiyi and said, "The noble man on the horse, why did the brother below offend, why did you knock him to the ground?" ”

Liu Wei was stunned, this posture gave him a sense of déjà vu. Although I had heard of such a thing in the time and space of my previous life, I had never encountered it once. I didn't expect to travel to the Eastern Han Dynasty and really encountered it once. It's just that the work of touching porcelain should have originated in the late Qing Dynasty, how could it appear in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in advance?

He never thought that there would be people in the group of people in front of him who would also cross over, if it was really a traverser, he couldn't think of any work, how could he do such a job that couldn't be on the table.

Liu Wei was silent, and Jiang Qi, who had already seen it clearly, took the lead in saying angrily: "You wait for pickled skin, you dare to slander good people!" It was obviously the man himself who fell just now, so how can he say that he fell down? ”

The young man sneered and said, "I just saw that this noble man knocked my brothers under the horse. You must know that although we are grass people, we also have a life to Bo! ”

As he spoke, the group put on a posture to come horizontally. Jiang Qi, who is a military general, is afraid of this, he couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Recently, my hands are itching, and my skin is tight, just to relieve the itch for the uncle!" ”

The sharp-mouthed youth was furious and was about to rush over to make a move. Liu Wei, who had been silent, spoke: "If your brothers are really injured in the lower field, they will definitely be taken to the house to recuperate from their injuries." If you are blackmailing under the pretext, Miyagi is not a decoration! ”

Although the words were not shocking, the majesty of a superior who was not angry but powerful was unique to Liu Wei was unbearable. The sharp-mouthed young man couldn't help but take a step back, and couldn't help but feel remorse.

But now, the arrow is on the string and has to be sent. The sharp-mouthed young man gritted his teeth and shouted: "Quickly hand over the money and pay my brother for medical treatment, otherwise Hugh will be unkind to you!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Liu Bian's thigh while he was unprepared. Jiang Qi, who had been prepared on the side, how could he allow him to be rude, raised his horsewhip and whipped it firmly on his hand.

The sharp-mouthed young man let out a wail, covered his hands and jumped up. Seeing this, the brothers behind him took action one after another and pounced on Liu Wei and the others. Even the man lying on the ground suddenly healed himself, and a carp jumped up and smashed his fist at Jiang Qi.

Although the number of sharp-mouthed youths was larger than that of Liu Wei and the others, Jiang Qi and the other guard were all sergeants, and their skills could not be resisted by a few roadblocks and blackmailers. Jiang Qi instructed another guard to protect Liu Wei, and he jumped off the horse and knocked the splashes to the ground with one punch.

This time they really had to see the doctor, and they were lying on the ground one by one screaming in pain.

The soldiers who patrolled the city at night were attracted by the sound of their fighting. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves not far away, Liu Wei didn't want to cause too much trouble to attract attention, and when he saw an abandoned empty house next to him, he ordered Jiang Qi to say, "Take them to the empty house to take refuge." ”

Jiang Qi was so powerful that he took the splashes on his shoulders and took them into the empty house.

Walking into the empty house, Jiang Qi threw them to the ground and yelled at them: "If you don't want to die, shut up for me!" ”

Knowing that the soldiers patrolling the city were coming, a few splashes were too frightened to speak. Liu Wei and another guard also led their horses and hid.

Thinking that nothing was found, a group of soldiers did not stop and whipped away. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves fading away, Liu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting on a low table held up by Jiang Qi, Liu Wei looked at the few splashes on the ground who were covering their wounds and humming, and fell silent thoughtfully.

Among the few splashers, the sharp-mouthed young man is their boss. He is thoughtful and has some brains. When I was knocked to the ground at first, I knew that I had encountered a hard ballast this time, and I would inevitably have to suffer. If they were handed over to the government, the worst would be more than 100 rods. However, at this time, Liu Wei actually protected them from those patrolling soldiers, and he was a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't know why these people in front of him did this.

Liu Wei pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Who came up with the idea of 'touching porcelain'?" ”

A few splashes looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Wei meant.

Looking at the confused few splashes in front of him, Liu Wei coughed dryly, and asked differently: "Who came up with the thing just now that pretending to fall and blackmailing horses?" ”

Knowing that Liu Wei was asking about this, the sharp-mouthed young man got up from the ground. I wanted to stand up, but my shoulders were pressed vigorously by Jiang Qi, and I knelt on the ground again. After struggling twice, Jiang Qi's hands pressed him to death like pincers.

Knowing that his strength was not as good as Jiang Qi's, the sharp-mouthed young man also gave up struggling, but he also tried to hold his chest high and said: "The idea is what I think, and it has nothing to do with my brothers." Let my brother go, if you want to kill it, you will listen to it! ”

Hearing the sharp-mouthed young man say this, the splashy who pretended to be injured also sat up and yelled at Liu Wei: "The five brothers and I are of one mind, living and dying together, if you want to kill, you will kill, Hugh will torture us!" ”

The other splashes also sat up, considering that although Jiang Qi's strength did not make any big moves, they all showed resolute and firm eyes to support the splashy words.

Liu Wei was moved by the brotherhood of several of them, and even Jiang Qi nodded slightly. Liu Wei smiled and said, "You wait for the road to get in the way and extort money, the criminals are monstrous." Do you know who I am? ”

The sharp-mouthed young man was stunned for a moment, wearing a large number of Liu Wei's white clothes, with red lips and white teeth, and fair skin. I thought he was the son of a rich family, but now looking at his posture and temperament, he must be the son of a prince and minister, maybe he is still a marquis with a title.

The sharp-mouthed young man guessed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it in his mouth. The guard next to him spoke out on his behalf: "This is the prince of the Han Dynasty, Shihou Liu Bian!" You wait to intercept the prince with bad intentions, just wait to wash your neck and cut off your head after the autumn! ”

When the five splashes heard that it was the prince of the Han Dynasty who they stopped tonight, they collapsed on the ground in fright. Of course they know what the prince is, that is the future emperor! Usually, they just take advantage of the curfew to come out to intercept some wealthy businessmen entering the city. The wealthy businessmen were afraid to entangle with them and delay the curfew when they returned home, and most of them were angry and gave money. Originally, Liu Wei had few people, thinking that he was the son of a wealthy businessman, but he didn't expect it to be the prince of the Han Dynasty, it seems that they are really waiting to wash their necks and cut off their heads this time.

was in panic and despair, Liu Wei did not mean to punish them, but continued to ask with a pleasant face: "You have hands and feet, and you don't look for some serious business, why do you want to be this robber who blocks the way?" ”

The sharp-mouthed young man replied: "We are originally from Yanzhou, and we have fallen into Luoyang because of the locust plague in our hometown. There is no capital to continue, so I have to do this trick of blocking the road and making money. ”

Seeing that the sharp-mouthed young man's answer was quite honest, Liu Wei nodded, and suddenly asked, "Are you willing to join Benhou?" ”

The splashes were all stunned, this time they thought that they would be in a catastrophe, but they didn't expect that the peak would turn around, and the dignified prince of the Han Dynasty would take them under the door.

Seeing that the five people in front of him were still ignorant, Liu Wei pretended to be angry and said: "Don't you look down on Ben Hou and don't want to work for me?" ”

After a few pops, the five of them knelt down in front of Liu Bian, and said bitterly: "Your Highness is willing to take us in, all of them are blessings from our eight generations, and God has mercy." We are willing to serve His Highness. ”

Liu Wei couldn't stand others kneeling down to him, even in the face of Jiang Qi and Wei Yi, he asked them to salute and salute. Seeing that the five of them ignored the injuries on their bodies, they gratefully kowtowed to themselves and couldn't stop kneeling, and hurriedly signaled Jiang Qi to help them up.

Liu Wei then asked, "Do you have a name?" ”

The sharp-mouthed young man replied: "The poor man's life is cheap, how can he have any name, the grass people's surname is Chen, no name, because the brothers who are a few years older call me Brother Chen." ”

"The grass people's surname is Zhao, and their name is Zhao Gouzi." The splash who was lying on the ground pretending to be injured also replied. The names of the other three people were also announced, one was called Pi Gou, and the other was a pair of brothers, the older one was called Dashan, and the younger one was called Dahe.

After hearing this, Liu Wei jokingly said: "Your name is Brother Chen, don't you have to call Brother Chen when I call you in the future?" ”

The sharp-mouthed young man shrank in fright, and hurriedly said, "The grass people don't dare!" ”

Liu Bian's heart protruded, and he said to them with a smile: "Your names really can't be on the table, so it's better for Benhou to give you a few names, so that it is convenient for you to act in the future." ”

The name given by the prince is a great honor for the five people. They all thanked each other and respectfully asked Liu Wei to give him his name.

Liu Wei smiled and pointed at the sharp-mouthed young man and said: "Your surname is Chen, this Hou gave you the word Haonan, and you will be called Chen Haonan in the future." ”

Then he said to the others, "It would be good if you all call him 'Brother Nan' in the future." ”

Then he said to Zhao Gouzi: "Your name is Zhao Shanhe, and Benhou will give you another nickname, called Pheasant." ”

"The leather dog is called Liang Er, nicknamed Da Tianer. The two brothers of Dashan and Dahe, the elder brother's name is Bao Daming, nicknamed Chaopi; The younger brother is called Bao Daer, nicknamed foreskin. Liu Wei named the other three again.

Although I feel that the name given by Liu is strange, the name given by the prince is the supreme glory. One by one, they thanked Liu Wei, and only the young man who had recently been named Zhao Shanhe dared to ask: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is a nickname?" ”

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, tried his best to consider the meaning that people in this era could understand, and said: "It's an alias, so that you can walk on the rivers and lakes in the future." ”

"What are the rivers and lakes?" Zhao Shanhe is a little bit of a character who breaks the sand pot and asks to the end.

Liu Wei was asked for a while, and was hesitating, Chen Haonan saw Liu Bian's face embarrassed, stabbed Zhao Shanhe angrily, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Your Highness says whatever it is, why are you asking so much!" ”

Zhao Shanhe shrank his neck and didn't dare to ask again. Liu Wei also took the opportunity to skip and continued: "Do you still have acquaintances or brothers in this Luoyang City? ”

Chen Haonan thought for a moment and replied: "There are a lot of friends, but it is our five brothers who have died!" ”

"Yes. You bring them all in, form your own factions, find out the news for me, or do things for me that officials can't do. In the future, if you have meritorious service, you will inevitably be crowned with a wife and a son, and you will be rich. But there is one thing you must remember - my relationship with you is only known to the five of you, if half a sentence is leaked, don't blame Benhou for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

The combination of grace and power frightened Chen Haonan and others one after another. finally hugged the big tree of the prince of the Han Dynasty, how could these people not do their best. They walked the streets, and it was not uncommon for them to listen to the news. As for what Liu Wei said about what officials can't do, they think it's also some illegal things like fighting and killing, but they have done these things for people a few times, but they don't have any psychological burden.

Seeing that they were saying yes, Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction. Whether these people are loyal or not will have to be tested slowly in the future, but for the time being, Liu Wei will not let them do something that involves confidentiality. In his heart, there is already something for them to come forward to do - open a restaurant.

People in the Han Dynasty did not have the habit of sitting around and eating, and it was not like in film and television dramas where a group of people sat around a table and talked about wine. If it is two people who have a good relationship, they will sit and drink. If it is a group of people, it is the host who sits on the main seat on the stage, and the guests sit on both sides, and everyone eats their own food.

Therefore, the general form of gathering is mostly held at home, and it is rare to eat out in groups. In addition, people at this time only have the habit of eating two meals a day, eating and drinking, and eating and drinking are basically solved at home. Individual merchants and travelers often eat out, but they also carry dry food with them, and when they are hungry, they have the intention of finding a place to eat.

However, although Liu Wei does not understand economics, he also knows that rare ones are bound to be in demand, and novelties must be paid attention to together. Coupled with the dishes he was familiar with in his previous life, the Manchu and Han Dynasty couldn't make it, and there should be no problem making simple steamed buns, boiled dumplings and some home-cooked dishes. There is also the unique pear flavor wine, which will inevitably attract those dignitaries and dignitaries in Luoyang.

However, when Liu Wei proposed to let Chen Haonan and others open a restaurant, and made a bold statement of making money every day, Chen Haonan and others had a difficult face, and even Jiang Qi shook his head slightly when he heard it, because there are many wine houses or guest houses in Luoyang, but most of them are small businesses, so they all feel that Liu Wei can't make much money by opening a restaurant.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Liu Wei snorted disdainfully, and said: "How can Ben Hou put that kind of small fight in the wine house, if you want to open a large luxury restaurant, a three-story building, facing the mountains and waters, and covering an area of more than 300 zhang." What a singer, a dancing girl, it's all matched. The first floor is the lobby, the second floor has a private room, and the third floor is a VIP room. There are two more welcoming ladies standing at the door, the kind who wears a skirt and shows her shoulders, no matter if you go in or out, they will take the initiative to say 'welcome' to you! A mouthful of authentic Luoyang accent makes people feel more face-saving when they listen to it. All attendants are uniformly dressed and serve twelve hours a day. The restaurant is equipped with the plough fragrant wine brewed by Ben Hou himself, and a bottle of less than 100 yuan will cost more than 100 yuan, which is one word: expensive! The drinking cup is also made of glass, tell them to rent, a bottle of wine to say less also rent more than 20 yuan, surrounded by dignitaries, either holding a glass cup or a gin wine, you want to replace it with a copper ear cup, you are embarrassed to say hello to others. You say, how much does a table of food cost in such a restaurant? ”

Zhao Shanhe was already stunned by Liu Wei's foam, and said very cooperatively: "Then how can you get five hundred dollars?" ”

"Five hundred? That's the price of a dish! Liu Wei sprayed saliva in his face. Zhao Shanhe dared to wipe it with his hands, and stood up straight.

"The minimum consumption starts at 800 yuan, you don't have to be too expensive, and you don't have a discount. Your research on the consumption psychology of everyone in the Luoyang clan, people who are willing to spend 200 yuan to buy fighting wine definitely don't care how much money is spent on eating. What is Aristocrat? Just buy only the expensive ones, not the right ones! So our slogan is: not the best, but the most expensive! ”

Chen Haonan and the others should have passed through the clouds and mountains and fog shrouded by Liu Wei's mouth, and they only nodded their heads. Even Jiang Qi was dizzy when he listened to it, but the delay was not short, so he reminded Liu Wei that it was time to return to the palace.

Liu Bian's mouth was dry, and he was about to go back, so he nodded and agreed: "That's all for today, let's go back to the palace quickly." ”

Then, he instructed Chen Haonan and others: "You wait until tomorrow morning to go to the Luoyang Paper Mill in the Gold Market, the owner of the paper mill, Shang Fangcheng Wei Yi, will wait for you there, and the money for opening the restaurant will be withdrawn from him, and I will convey anything to you through it in the future, what he said is my words, do you understand?" ”

"I'll get it." Chen Haonan and the others replied in unison.

Liu Wei was about to leave, Chen Haonan suddenly remembered something, so he invited Liu Wei and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, what should be the name of the society we have created?" ”

Liu Wei didn't think about it, and blurted out: "I have already thought about it for you, it's called Hongxing Society!" ”
