Chapter 31 Talents

After separating from Zhu Dadian and his party, Pang Yue decided to fulfill his original promise to Shi Youliang and buy some wine and food to take back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The restaurants in the city are lined up one after another, and it is almost dizzying. After wandering around the street for a while, Pang Yue found a spacious one with relatively few guests, and walked in with his soldiers.

Although Pang Yue and the others were all wearing civilian clothes, a group of more than a dozen people were riding horses, which still looked eye-catching, so as soon as they entered the lobby of the restaurant, the shopkeeper greeted them warmly.

"What do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper asked diligently

Pang Yue asked the people behind him, "It's already noon, how about we eat something here?" Today I have a treat. ”

"Let the adults break the bank!" Zhou Tianzheng said with a smile. The other pro-soldiers were also smiling, and a few of them were still swallowing, obviously unable to wait.

These bunnies, when it comes to eating, they forget all the rules! Pang Yue scolded with a smile in his heart, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper, "Second brother, is there a private room upstairs?" Let's open a private room, and then order food when we go up. ”

"Yes, yes. Guest officer, please. The shopkeeper led the way with a smile on his face.

Pang Yue went up to the second floor, chose a large elegant room facing the street, and then took the menu and ordered. After the dishes were served, the soldiers stared at a table of dishes and smacked their mouths, but no one dared to move the chopsticks first. Although Pang Yue had been eating and living with them for some time before, and although they were already hungry, the concept of superiority and inferiority was still engraved in their minds.

"Can't even eat? Well, don't eat what you don't want to eat, I won't greet you! Pang Yue didn't persuade much, and ate the vegetables by himself. Hearing this, the extremely hungry soldiers stretched out their chopsticks one after another. After a while, the voice became louder and louder, and Pang Yue secretly laughed when he heard it.

While the crowd was eating, there was a sudden commotion in the street.

Pang Yue hurriedly stood up and looked down from the window facing the street. I saw a luxurious carriage parked on the street, and a drunken guy who looked like a gentleman next to him seemed to have just gotten off the car, yelling at an old man in rags: "Old thing, just your ...... Dirty, dare to stand in the way of the uncle! ”

The old man was frightened and protected a skinny half-grown child behind him, and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, uncle, little old man, go away." ”

"Let's go? Which is so easy? Uncle ...... today If you don't suffer a little, you will ..... eighty percent in the future...... Keep getting in the way! Come on, call me! With a wave of his hand, a few of the servants rushed forward.

Where was the old man's opponent for these guys who were full of food and specialized in beating people, and he was quickly pushed to the ground and kicked several times.

Seeing this scene, Pang Yue's face turned blue with anger, put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked downstairs, and Ma Yuancheng and other soldiers also hurriedly followed him downstairs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Pang Yue ran to the door of the restaurant, he saw an incredible scene: the few guys who were still committing the murder just now were all lying on the ground and rolling in pain. The old man had been lifted up by a young man as strong as an ox. I saw that although the young man's clothes were shabby, he was tall and burly, with a rough face, at least more than 1.8 meters tall, and his forearms were full of bulging muscles when he rolled up his sleeves.

The drunken gentleman was also thrown to the side of the road, and the wine was half awakened by fright, and he stretched out a hand and pointed at the young man tremblingly: "You, you, you dare to hit me?" Do you know who I am? ”

The young man sneered: "Who do you care about? Dare to bully the weak, Lao Tzu can pinch you to death with one hand! ”

Looking at the young man's fierce look, the gentleman was too frightened to speak. At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps not far away, and a team of catchers ran over. Listening to the voice, the gentleman's eyes suddenly lit up. …,

"Who is it? Who's making trouble? The leader of the fast catcher shouted loudly, but when he saw the size of the young man, his confidence suddenly fell, and his voice became much quieter, "But you are making trouble?" ”

"Yes, that's him! Arrest him and tell you that my father and the prefect have known each other for a long time! The gentleman shouted excitedly.

"Huh? It turned out to be Yang Gongzi. After seeing the face of the gentleman clearly, he gritted his teeth and pointed at the young man, and said to the catcher beside him: "Arrest him for me." ”

"Yes!" Although the catchers were very jealous of the young man, they still pulled out their waist knives one after another, took out their shackles and surrounded the young man.

"Stop!" Pang Yue spoke, and walked over with his own soldiers.

The leader of the fast hunt turned his head to look at the people who came, and saw that although the dozen or so people were dressed normally, they all seemed to have a fierce look on their faces. Especially the one who leads, although young, gives a sense of inviolable majesty.

"Who are you? Why are you obstructing us from carrying out our official duties? The head of the catcher strongly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked inwardly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I can testify that this son and several of his subordinates fell accidentally." Pang Yue walked up to the head of the catcher and showed his waist card.

After seeing Pang Yue's waist card clearly, the head of the catcher was suddenly startled, and his speech became unfavorable: "Since you ...... Since there are adults to testify, what ...... Naturally, it's fine. If the adults have nothing else to do, the little ones ...... The little ones retired. ”

Seeing Pang Yue nodded, the head of the catcher flew away with one of his subordinates as if he had been amnestied. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Gongzi also wanted to slip away, but before he could climb into the carriage, Pang Yue walked up to him and slapped him on the shoulder casually with one hand.

"This son, is this leaving?" Pang Yue was smiling, but his hands were already secretly exerting force.

"Ahh Yang Gongzi was so pained that tears flowed down, and he begged Pang Yue with a crying voice: "My lord, just spare me, I won't dare next time!" ”

Pang Yue smiled all over his face: "Have you offended me, what are you begging me for mercy for?" However, that old man was beaten by your family, you should pay for some soup and medicine! ”

"Good, good, good, I have silver, I have silver." Yang Gongzi's head was like a chicken pecking rice, "It's in the car, I'll take it all out." ”

As soon as Pang Yue's hand was released, Yang Gongzi trembled and climbed into the carriage, took off a money bag and handed it to Pang Yue: "It's all here, my lord, just let me go!" ”

Taking the money bag, Pang Yue said lightly: "Then the son will please." But remember, the next time I meet it, it's not as simple as handing over some money. ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, I remember." After Yang Gongzi finished speaking, he fled with a group of dogs.

"Come, old man, the man will pay you at this time." Pang Yue walked up to the old man and handed him the money bag with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare. The little old man didn't dare to ask for this silver! Let's keep it for yourself. The old man waved his hand again and again, just now he had already known the unusual identity of Pang Yue from the title and attitude of the fast catcher.

"Don't worry, the old man, this silver is for you, take it." After speaking, Pang Yue couldn't help but stuff the silver into the old man's hand, and when he saw the thin half-grown child behind the old man, he remembered something again, and continued: "Old man, now it's noon, you must be hungry, come, follow me in and eat something." ”

The old man just wanted to excuse himself, but Pang Yue pointed to the child next to him and said, "No matter what, you can't let the child go hungry!" ”

Hearing Pang Yue's words, the old man finally sighed and touched the child's head: "Then our ancestors and grandchildren will thank the adults here first!" ”…,

At this time, the young man who had stepped forward saw that the old man was unharmed and was ready to leave.

"The strong man stays. I don't know the name of the strong man? Pang Yue stopped the young man with a smile.

"The surname is not respected, and the name is not big, Wang Zhangtang!" The young man replied lukewarmly.

"It turned out to be Wang Zhuangshi!" Pang Yue smiled, "The strong man must be hungry, how about going in and eating something with me?" I think, the strong man is extraordinary, shouldn't he even have this bit of guts? ”

"Joke! When did Lao Tzu even be afraid to eat? Lead the way! Wang Zhangtang said a little arrogantly, causing Ma Yuancheng and others to look at him angrily.

Pang Yue was amused by Wang Zhangtang's straightforwardness, and said with a smile: "Then the strong man, please come with me." ”

So, the group came to the private room just now, and Pang Yue asked the shopkeeper to serve some additional meals. Wang Zhangtang was unceremoniously, and he didn't need to be greeted, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate a lot. The boy was visibly hungry and devoured food, causing the old man to remind him to eat slowly.

The old man was more serious, and thanked Pang Yue while eating. Through talking with him, Pang Yue learned that his name was Kang Dingen, 61 years old this year, and he was a craftsman in Qingzhouwei, Shandong. After Jiannu occupied Shandong, most of his family members were killed in the rebellion, and he and his grandson, 13-year-old Kang Xiaoxi, escaped by luck and fled all the way to Hangzhou to avoid the military disaster. In the past few days, the grandparents and grandchildren have been begging along the street, eating the last meal but not the next meal, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing today.

As soon as he heard the words "Kang Xiaoxi", Pang Yue couldn't help but think of a famous pockmark who wanted to live for how many years, but now that pock's father is only seven years old, I don't know if Mazi will have the opportunity to come out to guide the country in the future.

After trying to control his smile, Pang Yue continued to chat with Kang Dingen: "I don't know what the old man used to do in Qingzhou Wei?" ”

"The answer to the person's words, Xiao Lao'er originally built firearms in the Acropolis Ordnance Bureau, and worked as a craftsman for a few days. Alas, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, the craftsman is inferior after all, and the children and grandchildren will be looked down upon. In this kind of chaotic year, it is even more impossible to live. Kang Dingen kept sighing, his eyes full of sadness.

Hearing this, Pang Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up, if you want to develop military equipment in the future, what you lack is this kind of talent who is proficient in firearms and has rich experience! Thinking of this, Pang Yue hurriedly said, "Can the old man come to our army to do things?" ”

"Your Excellency is the military general who leads the troops?" Kang Dingen was taken aback. When Wang Zhangtang heard the word "in the army", his movements paused slightly, but he soon began to bury his head in eating again, but this detail did not escape Pang Yue's eyes.

Pang Yue smiled: "That's right. As long as Kang Lao can come to our army, I will not only take care of food and housing, but also give you a salary of five taels of silver every month? ”

For Kang Dingen, it would be great to have a place to live, a bowl of rice to eat, and five taels of silver a month. In addition, he saw that Pang Yue was modest, so he had no opinion on Pang Yue's invitation, but he asked cautiously, "Is this true?" ”

"Old man, don't worry. Will our general-selden lie to you? Ma Yuancheng interjected.

"What? Counselor? Kang Dingen's eyes widened, although he already knew that Pang Yue was an official, but he didn't expect that he would actually be a general! Having spent many years in the Acropolis, of course he knew that this general was on the same level as the commander, and it was an existence that he needed to look up to.

"The villain has seen the general!" Kang Dingen hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Elder Kang, what are you doing, you are an elder, you don't need this kind of hypocrisy!" Pang Yue hurriedly helped Kang Dingen up. …,

Then, Pang Yue looked at Wang Zhangtang, who was already wiping his mouth with the back of his hand: "By the way, dare to ask who Wang Zhuangshi is?" And why is this happening? ”

"Yiwu," Wang Zhangtang casually knocked on the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks, seemingly ignoring Pang Yue's identity, "broke the leg of a bastard in his hometown, got into trouble, and ran out." ”

"Oh, where is the king going next?" Pang Yue asked.

Wang Zhangtang sneered: "Hmph, where else can I go, the four seas are home." Wherever you go, it's good to clean up a bastard when you see one. ”

"I don't know if Wang Zhuangshi is willing to join our army? With your skills, you will be able to achieve a career in a few years, and then you will be able to go home in the open. I think, Wang Zhuangshi doesn't want to go incognito, right? Pang Yue painted a bright future for Wang Zhangtang.

Hearing this, Wang Zhangtang lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Pang Yue didn't rush him, just waited for his reply.

"Boom!" After a while, Wang Zhangtang knocked the chopsticks in his hand on the edge of the bowl and sighed: "Okay, I'll go with you first." However, my legs are long on me, and if it doesn't suit me, I'll go at any time. As the saying goes, after eating other people's soft mouths, although Wang Zhangtang's tone is still cold, he consciously replaced "Lao Tzu" with "I".

"That's no problem! When the time comes, as long as Wang Zhuangshi wants to leave, I will not stop him. Pang Yue was full of joy, and another tiger general was in hand. What's the most expensive these days? Talent! I got two of them at once today, and it seems that this trip is really worth it!
