Chapter 519: Picking the Star Tower
Wang Fubao looked at Wu Bushan and smiled, and slowly walked over to close the door of the stone room. Seeing his smiling expression, Wu Bushan subconsciously took a step back, Wang Fubao walked up to Wu Bushan and stood up, and asked in a serious tone: "You say, if I break your neck now, will anyone avenge you?" Is it Song Baolai, the county guard of Zhaozhou, Pei Yu, the secretary of the criminal department, or the original Song of Nayan? ”
His hand was slightly raised, palms facing upwards, revealing calluses that had been sharpened by years of holding a knife.
Wu Bushan looked sideways, Cheng Mingzhen had already stood up quietly and blocked his retreat, his face changed for a moment, and then fell silent.
Before Wang Fubao made a move, Wu Bushan suddenly smiled and let go of the hand holding the hilt.
"I thought about it carefully, although I have a knife in my hand, I am not the opponent of either of you alone, let alone two against me."
"So you decided to get down on your knees and beg for mercy? Or are you ready to die? ”
Wang Fubao asked.
"I promise that I have never thought about these two choices you mentioned, not to mention that I will not think about it today, I guess I will not consider such a boring thing in this life, I remember someone said to me, called all roads lead to Rome, although Rome is something I don't know, I think it is also such as the eastern capital of Luoyang and the western capital of Chang'an as a majestic city. But that's okay, I understand the meaning of this sentence enough, and there will never be only two choices. ”
"Who told you that?"
Cheng Mingzhen asked thoughtfully: "Why don't you just say that all roads lead to the eastern capital?" ”
The man who said this did not know what Rome was, because he had heard it. But the person who told me this, General Wang, also knows him, and you are still mentioning it just now. ”
"Wang Yunyan?"
Wang Fubao was stunned for a moment, and then became more vigilant: "What is the relationship between you and the boss of the Star Picking Tower." ”
Wu Bushan pondered for a while and said with a smile: "It's a very close relationship, in short, if I tell Wang Yunyan about General Cheng's desire to leave Zhaozhou with his family, he will definitely not refuse, I can only say so much about this matter, as for the truth or falsehood, you can speculate for yourself, if you think it is fake, then don't be in a hurry." ”
Wu Bushan sat down, ate all the remaining half of the sauce elbow on the table, and then drank half a pot of old wine in one go, sweeping away the wine and food on the table like a storm, he wiped his mouth and grinned: "Okay, now you can do it if you want, I can't be a starving ghost, right?" ”
Wang Fubao frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Luo Yi? Li Xian? Li Mi? Wang Shichong? ”
"Do you think I'll tell you?"
Wu Bushan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm not a fool, so don't ask." ”
"At least I know, Wang Yunyan is by no means from my Great Xia!"
Wang Fubao said with a look in his eyes.
Cheng Mingzhen pulled Wang Fubao and shook his head slightly: "Listen to him first, it's easy for you and me to kill him." ”
"It's better for General Cheng to be smarter."
Wu Bushan smiled and said, "In this way, in order to prove that I can guarantee that General Cheng and his family will leave Yuzhou safely, I can reveal a message to you in advance...... Dou Jiande had already returned to Yuzhou, and the city that had been advanced for five days was hidden in the palace. I think the two of you must have guessed the reason why he didn't show up, there are only two people in the court who know about this matter, one is Nayan Song Zhengben, and the other is Kong Deshao, the waiter of the internal history. Coincidentally, although these two people are sworn enemies, their relationship with Wang Yunyan, a veteran of Xingxinglou, is extraordinary. ”
As if to prove that what he said was true, Wu Bushan asked Wang Fubao meaningfully: "What, doesn't the general think there is anything wrong?" It's been a few days since the Lord came to see you. ”
After hearing him say this, Wang Fubao slowly breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his fist: "I can not talk about your suspicious identity in front of King Xia, but if I let me know that you failed to send General Cheng's family away, I guarantee that at least you and Wang Yunyan will never leave Yuzhou alive." ”
"Don't scare me."
Wu Bushan smiled and said, "Maybe you don't know me, the last thing I'm afraid of is threats." I've got at least three poisons hidden in my body, guess what's it for? There is nothing to be afraid of death, and you find threats useful? Although my martial arts are definitely not as good as you, General Wang, if I want to swallow poison, you will definitely not be able to stop you. Don't look at me like that, am I acting too proud? The reason why I am proud and proud is because it is a very proud thing to die at my own hands when I want to die, isn't it? ”
He walked to the door, pulled the door open, turned back and said, "It's actually very rude for you to say it, why don't you ask me what conditions I have when I get to the door?" Do you think that Wang Yunyan and I are bodhisattvas who do charitable deeds? Or do you think that I have a connection with Wang Yunyan, and this matter can coerce me, so you don't have to give me any benefits? ”
He slowly shook his head and sighed: "Since Wang Yunyan can send anyone out of Zhaozhou, can't he send himself out?" As for whether I can get out of the state alive, it really doesn't matter at all. ”
"Say it...... What conditions. ”
Cheng Mingzhen asked solemnly.
"Him!"
Wu Bushan pointed to Wang Fubaodao and said to Cheng Mingzhen: "He will go with you, this is my condition, otherwise General Cheng's family will definitely not be able to leave Zhaozhou, it's as simple as that." ”
He smiled and turned away.
Wang Fubao looked at Wu Bushan's back, his face was solemn: "Wu Bushan's person...... Whose people are it? ”
"It doesn't matter!"
Cheng Mingzhen looked at Wang Fubao with a worried expression and said, "The important thing is ...... King Xia is back, and he has come back a long time ago but has not shown up. ”
Wang Fubao's heart tightened, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
……
……
Picking the star building is the largest restaurant in the city of Zhaozhou, when Cheng Mingzhen was the lord of Zhaozhou, it was not a magnificent three-story wooden building, but a few shops selling dog meat on the street, but it is also the only one in Zhaozhou that specializes in selling dog meat, so the business is okay on weekdays, the owner is a native of Zhaozhou, not rich and expensive, but compared to ordinary people, life is still passable.
The year before last, a wealthy merchant suddenly sent a housekeeper to buy a dog meat shop, and the price given was very good, not to mention that he could buy a few bungalows on the street, and the price could be used to build a grand mansion with three entrances in the city of Zhaozhou. So the owner of the dog meat shop did not hesitate to sell the shop, and then took his family to buy a small shop in the west of the city to continue the dog meat business. The wealthy merchant who bought his shop never showed up, and it didn't take long for many craftsmen to demolish the shop, and it took nearly a year to build a three-story wooden building in the same place. At this time, people learned that more than a dozen families around the dog meat shop had also been bought, and a garden was built behind the wooden building.
This matter has always been talked about by the neighbors, and everyone has always been very interested in this wealthy businessman who has made a big move. But on the day of the opening of the plaque in the Star Picking Building, people excitedly crowded over to see it, only to find that the mysterious rich businessman turned out to be a thin and obscene little old man, wearing a cloth clothes, obviously no fame, no matter how you look at it, there is no kind of momentum that spends a lot of money, and people are suddenly interested. And many of the girls in the boudoir who longed for the boss of the star building to be a young and promising handsome young man were all dead, and they no longer believed in fairy tales when they saw the appearance of the boss.
It is said that this boss's surname is Wang, called Yunyan, the word Nianqi, although the appearance is really not very likable, but he is definitely a big man with hands and eyes, not long after the opening of the Star Picking Building, the dignitaries and nobles in the city of Zhaozhou have come to the door, and even Song Zhengben, who has always been the opponent, and Kong Deshao, the waiter of the internal history, appear in this building from time to time, which shows that Wang Yunyan's status in the city of Zhaozhou is not just as simple as a businessman.
The young women lost interest in the Star Picking Tower, but the court officials flocked to the place. Whenever an official invites a guest to eat and drink, nine times out of ten they will choose to be in this building, which has simply become a symbol of status. And Wang Yunyan, the owner of this building, is obviously not very good at business, and he gives those officials free food money at every turn, and will give some small gifts such as old wine and dishes before leaving. Therefore, the Star Picking Building has not made much money since it opened, and at best, it is a flat income.
But since it was rumored that Lord Kong Deshao and Lord Song Zhengben had to pay for every meal, none of those officials dared to be cheeky and refuse to pay.
The pedestrians on the street were accustomed to the carriages of all the big families parked in front of the Star Picking Tower after dark, so when the carriage of Song Zhengben, the first minister of Great Xia, stopped at the door, the people did not recognize this carriage with no special signs, nor did they recognize that the shriveled old man wearing a thick brocade cotton suit and a mink scarf was Lord Song.
Speaking of which, the appearance of this Song Zhengben is really similar to that of Wang Yunyan, the owner of the Star Picking Building.
Song Zhengben went up to the third floor after entering the door, the third floor was a private room, but he did not enter any of the rooms but went downstairs from the back under the guidance of a group of lanterns, and entered several inconspicuous thatched huts in the back garden, it seems that this row of thatched houses is very simple, compared with the magnificent wooden building in front, it is simply one in the sky and one in the ground two hundred miles underground, but after entering the thatched house, it immediately makes people's eyes shine, and the furnishings in this simple house are luxurious to the extreme.
After Song Zhengben sat down, it didn't take long for several delicate and beautiful women to rush in, putting exquisite dishes on the table, and a jar of old wine that had just been opened and smelled of wine. Not long after, Wang Yunyan, the owner of the Star Picking Building, walked in with a stove and said with a smile: "It's cold in this room, and adults are expensive, so add another stove." ”
"It's not that much, it's not my first time here."
Song Zhengben waved his hand, he took a sip of the wine glass, and suddenly sighed, his face was a little heavy. Wang Yunyan was a thoughtful person, and immediately waved her hand to signal the women who accompanied the wine to go out. He personally poured a full wine for Song Zhengben and sat down, and asked softly, "My lord, is there anything bothering?" ”
Song Zhengben opened his mouth but stopped talking, looking unsatisfactory.
"If it's inconvenient for adults to say, don't say it, come, I'll drink with you. This jar was brought from my hometown yesterday and buried in the ground for ten years, and it was only opened when you came. ”
"You have to be in a good mood to drink well."
Song Zhengben shook his head and said, "Where can I taste the quality of wine now?" ”
He glanced at Wang Yunyan, thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "You are an outsider, help me as a staff officer." This is a major event in the DPRK and China, and you are not allowed to leak a little! If you really miss a star and a half, you won't be able to save this building! ”
"Your Excellency, you still can't trust me? I don't have any skills, but my mouth is tight enough, I can't say what I shouldn't say, and I forget what I shouldn't listen to. ”
"King Xia has already returned!"
Song Zhengben said mysteriously: "I told you last time, let you be careful not to be too public, King Xia has just been defeated, if someone says that you are public, I can't protect you, but now it seems that I can't even protect myself." ”
