Chapter 609: Temptation During the Banquet
If you look at it from the perspective of Lu Fatzi, this Russell Ce is an out-and-out country bun. If www.biquge.info was in Chang'an City, he wouldn't take a look at such a bun, for fear that his identity would lose his price. But now it's different, Juzhou is someone's territory, and people are the head snake, even if he is a dragon crossing the river, he can't suppress the head snake!
Lu Fatzi is still respectful to Luo Suce, since the Yi family has branched out in Juzhou, the population has been quite large, even if the power of the Luo family is not so great, but it is still the orthodox leader of the Yi people, and the history of the Juzhou Assassin canonized by the imperial court. The people under his rule will listen to him to a greater or lesser extent. Lu Fatzi thought that if Juzhou was really as complicated as a farmer and a bandit, he couldn't say that he had to rely on this Juzhou assassin Shi Luo Suce in order to completely suppress the bandits. Otherwise, even if he exterminates for three or five years, it may not be effective.
Luo Suce politely welcomed Lu Chenhuan into the mansion and came to the main hall. At a glance, Fat Lu saw that the wine and food had been prepared, and it was steaming. "The general came from afar, and we have nothing to entertain in Juzhou, so we have to prepare a little water and wine, and I hope the general will forgive me!" Russo was polite and thoughtful, and Fat Lu was also polite.
"Luo Tingshi is too polite!" Fat Lu secretly loosened his belt, you must know that since he entered Kuizhou Road, he has lost a lot of weight. Just eat a big meal and make up for the "injured" body.
After Luo Suce invited Fat Lu to take a seat, he diligently helped him fill a glass of wine, and then poured a full glass of wine himself, raised his glass and said, "I salute the general!" ”
Before the fat man could fill his stomach with chopsticks, his brows furrowed slightly. But he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling man, so he had to pick up the wine glass and say, "How can this work, it should be a glass of my stabbing history!" ”
After the two of them drank it all, Luo Suce persuaded: "General, please take the chopstick!" ”
Fat Lu is a little embarrassed, and he can't let go of his belly. Russell seemed to see his concern, and began to introduce the food on the table: "General, this is a silk doll, and it is a famous dish for us. ”
"Oh, really?" Fat Lu is so fat, he can also eat, and he picked up a silk doll and took a bite of it. I only felt that I had chewed a mouthful of vegetables, but there was no meat taste. He is a carnivore, and he doesn't like it if he doesn't have meat, even if this "silk doll" tastes really good, the vegetarian dishes are crisp and tender, sour and spicy, and refreshing, appetizing and spleen-invigorating. Lu Fatzi could eat it, there were shredded radish, sometimes fresh vegetables celery, bracken, and the flavor of dogwood and folded ear root mixed in it. The taste is unique, but he can't get used to it.
No matter what Russell said, Lu Fatzi still faithfully sandwiched the mutton slices. This is a famous local black goat, not the wool is black, but the sheepskin is black, which is extremely rare, so it is called a black goat. At this time, mutton is not cheap, at least 50 yuan per catty. This black goat is even more expensive, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of dollars a catty. Only Russell Ce, the history of Juzhou, can buy so much in a hurry.
In addition to meat dishes such as mutton slices, chicken, duck and fish, there are also tofu balls, cakes, clear water soup, hot and sour soup, and grilled pork ribs...... Wait, Fat Lu ate them one by one, and Luo Suce saw it in his eyes, and his heart blossomed. There is a saying that the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft. Fat Lu ate a meal from him, why do you have to sell him a favor, right?
So, seeing that the fat man Lu had eaten almost, Luo Suce just grabbed a few chopsticks. During the banquet, he only frequently persuaded to drink, and the etiquette was done according to the Central Plains one by one. Later, Fat Lu also let go more and more, and almost half of the dishes on the table fell into his belly.
Russo Ce poured him another glass of wine and asked tentatively, "I don't know that the general came this time, but he was ordered by the emperor?" ”
When he asked, it was equivalent to asking if A-Niang was a woman. Isn't this lice on a bald head, obviously! In the Dashun Dynasty, apart from the emperor and the Privy Council, who can mobilize a single soldier?
Fat Lu was busy eating, so he just nodded and didn't answer. Seeing that the first step had been achieved, Russell was much bolder: "I don't know if the general came on the emperor's order, but what is the errand?" ”
Fat Lu swallowed the food with difficulty, picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then said with satisfaction: "I won't tell you, I came by order to suppress bandits." In the middle of this matter, I hope that Luo Thorn Shi Duoduo will cooperate! ”
When Russell Ce heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart and secretly said, "It's broken." said on his lips: "The general said that he was joking, I have been assassinating here for more than ten years, and there are not necessarily any bandits?" ”
Lu Fatzi had already stopped his chopsticks and stared at Luo Suce's face for a while, and then said with a smile: "I have to ask Your Majesty and the Supervision Department, the news is played by the Supervision Department, the holy decree is issued by Your Majesty, and the military talisman is given by the Privy Council and Your Majesty." As for me, I'm just doing what I'm told. Whether there are bandits in Juzhou, Luo Tingshi is afraid that he has already counted it, right? ”
This sentence was even eliminated, and Luo Suce was very embarrassed on the surface, and said with a smile: "The general said that he was laughing......
"I'm not joking, I've seen a lot of scenes in the past few days where people pick up a hoe and a farmer who puts down a hoe is a bandit. If Luo Tingshi doesn't believe me, I can bring someone up......"
Before Lu Fatzi's words fell, Luo Suce smiled bitterly and said, "General, don't say ......."
"So, does Luo Tingshi know?" Who is Lu Chenhuan? Don't look at him rude on the surface, in fact, he is delicate in his heart and very meticulous in his observations. Luo Suce is used to being the emperor of the soil, and the intrigue in the officialdom is not Lu Fatzi's opponent at all.
"Alas! Don't hide it from the general, to tell the truth, we also have suffering in Juzhou! Russell sighed, and stopped talking.
"Since there is suffering, why not play the court and let the court decide?" Lu Fatzi had long been immune to such remarks, and he was not moved at all.
Luo Suce poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, before he said slowly: "Juzhou is mountainous, fertile land is scarce, and the production is not abundant. If you have a hundred acres of conscience, who is willing to be a bandit? These people are extremely cunning, and those who can't be provoked resolutely don't provoke, and those who can be provoked are robbed. With a whistle, he became a farmer again. Yes, I already knew that. But what can I do, is it possible to arrest all the farmers? ”
Lu Chenhuan also knew about this, but he didn't know something: "The green forest thief on the top of the temple nest shouldn't be like this, right?" To tell you the truth, a major event happened in the imperial city some time ago, which was related to the green forest thieves on the top of this temple. ”
Luo Suce nodded thoughtfully: "It's the case of the military department, right?" I read "Da Shun Minbao" and know a little bit about this matter......"
Fat Lu was a little surprised: "You also know? He originally thought that the roads in Juzhou were not smooth, and the news should not be very well-informed. Unexpectedly, this Russell Zer had already learned about this. "Yes, this matter is a heart disease in His Majesty's heart, and it is difficult to get rid of it. Since Luo Tingshi knew about this, shouldn't he report the news in advance? ”
Rususe said with a wry smile: "What do those green forest thieves have to do with me? I have a history of thorns, and I am guilty of being in the same league with them? (To be continued.) )
