Chapter 222: Asking for Your Dog's Head
Qin County Ling didn't feel anything wrong with Xu Chen's banquet this time, and he had eaten with Xu Juma several times, and he was also familiar with him.
can roughly guess that the horse wants to win him over, from Cui Ren's tragic death to the arrest of Yang Tingquan into the county government, Qin County's order is also done in a decent manner, although it is secretly biased towards the side of the horse, but on the surface, no one can be offended, and the old man is just cunning.
I have worked under Yang Guozhong for several years, it is really called a grievance, in fact, I don't deal with Yang Guozhong much in my heart, and I hate this person, but all people who are honest in their hearts will always be despised by Prime Minister Yang's various bad behaviors, but some of them are shown, some are hidden in their hearts, and the righteous gentlemen who show them, those who scolded Yang Guozhong were either exiled or assassinated, and the people who hid in their hearts were slippery, at least they saved their lives.
Anything like this, everyone's attitude will always be different, Qin County's sleekness has already reached the pinnacle, and it is on par with that Gao Lishi, otherwise he would not have worked under Yang Guozhong for so long, although he was not promoted.
If he was not promoted, he was naturally more aggrieved, and he followed the hooligans with all his grievances, but in the end, he was standing still, and Qin County Ling was even more angry that he still had some relatives with Ji Wen.
Ji Wen followed Li Linfu in the early years and became a military advisor, and later followed Yang Guozhong and killed Li Linfu, the status is needless to say, although Qin County Ling has some relatives with him, but because he was not used to seeing Ji Wen scolded him a long time ago, I didn't expect Ji Wen to remember the grudge, and he didn't remember him at all when he was in the clouds, and Yang Guozhong also felt that this person was too useless, so he kept letting him sit in the position of this small county order.
After being depressed for many years, until Xu Chen's appearance, Qin County Ling noticed a little bit of light, and he used to beg for perfection just to be a mixed official, but Yang Guozhong was not promoted, and Qin County Ling finally couldn't sit still, and planned to resist.
Of course, as an old oil slippery, he knows how deep the Yang family's power represented by Yang Guozhong is in the court, how can it be that a horse that suddenly appeared was cleaned up? Even if this colt is now deeply favored by the emperor, wanting to move Yang Guozhong is tantamount to a fool's dream.
But Lao Qin also saw that this horse had a hostile attitude towards Yang Guozhong, otherwise he would not have done anything to the Cui family, the Cui family is the second largest family in the capital attached to the Yang family, and can be called Yang Guozhong's right-hand man.
Qin County's order did all these things behind the scenes, but everyone would pay attention, Xu Chen had already checked the details of this person, and he would come from a place where he would be useful, and this time he was called to pull him in.
Indeed, there are indeed not many people available to Xu Chen now, and this Li has also become his "right-hand man", and his strength can be seen, the military department has that Guo Xi and Wang Tangzheng, but it will not be used for a while, and there is no other, Qin County Order is Wannian County County, if it can be co-opted, it will naturally be beneficial.
It's hard to say whether the cavalry can be used for his own use, after all, the quality of the soldiers is too poor, and the original reason for going to the cavalry parade was Tian Rong's meaning, Xu Chen also only found out last night, and after analyzing the situation with him last night, he kept saying that there is an army that can only be controlled, and Xu Chen can guess what he means.
To control the secret control of the cavalry, you only need to control Wu Xing, Xu Chen is too qualified in the military department, wait until the beginning of spring next year to go again, if there is really a change, it will definitely be in the pocket, and it has been needed from time to time.
At this time, Xu Chenli in the restaurant also drank tea and chatted with Qin County Ling, this is a downtown area, Qin County Ling just finished his errand and brought that team of officers and soldiers over, and now he is standing in front of the restaurant, so he didn't come to Hu Tong.
Li was also in a hurry, feeling a little nervous, and scolded: "This old thing is really fucking shelf." After this scolding, Hu Tong arrived in front of the restaurant.
Hu Tong brought a few personal guards, and when he looked at the officers and soldiers standing in front of the building, he knew that the Qin County Order was coming, so he didn't take three steps and two steps, and went to the private room on the third floor with the guards.
There were also three or four guards at the door of the private room, which Li Ye had brought, so Hu Tong ordered a few people to wait outside and entered the private room.
"Hey, Xu Shilang, King Ning, Qin County Ling is also there, at a certain time, he was careless, he forgot the time, forgive his sins." When Hu Tong entered the private room, he hurriedly apologized.
He didn't understand the purpose of Xu Chen's invitation to dinner this time, so he deliberately came late, he didn't believe in the strong help when he kidnapped, the gap between the two had already been public, and although Hu Tong was demoted to Zhongshu Province, in fact, Yang Guozhong made a clear and degraded secretly, since there is no need for everyone to pretend to be garlic, Hu Tong is not afraid of Xu Chen, and it is Hu Tong's consistent style to deliberately take a shelf.
Hu Tong would never be stupid enough to think that the horse would not be aware of the last kidnapping incident, even if he didn't know about the assassination, but in that chaotic scene, ignoring the horse can be very revealing, then this time the horse must have some kind of coercion, but it's not right to think about it, the prince and Qin County Ling are both present, and there will definitely be no embarrassment.
"Lord Hu, please take a seat." Xu Chen didn't get up to greet him, but just said this.
In doing so, the atmosphere of the scene was pulled down all of a sudden, and he was too lazy to do the least etiquette when treating people, Hu Tong also noticed that Xu Chen's inviter was not good, and smiled embarrassedly, and said in his heart Lao Tzu is still afraid of you.
However, Xu Chen immediately raised a smile and said with a smile: "Master Hu is busy with official business, and it is normal to come late. ”
This sudden change of surname made Hu Tong stunned, I thought that this horse was forcing the palace, but I didn't expect such a show, in the end, it was a young surname, this smile was extremely kind, Hu Tong immediately relaxed his mentality, it seems that he didn't think about it today.
The four of them chatted a little, Qin County Ling acted as a warm-up master, constantly looking for topics, Xu Chen always greeted him with a smile, although Li didn't look at him very seriously, but he didn't express much unhappiness, and after chatting for a while, Xu Chen ordered the handyman in the store to serve the wine and food.
"Lord Hu was very guilty because I was kidnapped by that gangster, but I was very guilty, and at that time, the gangster was about to be caught by Lord Hu, it was really my fault......"
After the wine and food were served, Xu Chen continued: "So today I want you to have three cups of Lord Hu, and this first cup is to hope that Lord Hu is magnanimous, don't care about my mistakes......"
Xu Chen said, he raised his wine glass, Hu Tong was obviously a little surprised, too suspicious, what, what kind of thing is this? Looking at the sincerity of what the colt said, an idea suddenly popped up in my heart, is this colt subdued?
Did this colt learn about his assassination, and was afraid of Yang Guozhong's forces? Hu Tong thought for a moment, this is indeed possible, who is not afraid of the power of Prime Minister Yang, and a moment of joy instantly came to his heart, but after all, he is a young child, and he doesn't need to feel like he is facing a great enemy, and the illusion suddenly appeared at this moment.
Li Yexin said that this brother-in-law was really calm, and he still had the heart to toast people when he got to this point, but looking at Xu Chen's calm and relaxed appearance, the more Li Ye felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and Qin Xianling was a little unsure of what was going on, he heard that Hu Tong was coming, so he knew that this matter was not so simple.
Hu Tong is the number one lackey under Yang Guozhong, and the concubine has always been at odds with Yang Guozhong, which is probably ...... But Xu Chen's performance just now was really shocking.
Hu Tong hesitated for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and said: "What did the horse say, it was Hu who didn't protect the horse, so that the horse fell into the hands of thieves, and the horse could return safely." ”
After speaking, Hu Tong drank it all, and Xu Chen held the wine glass, put it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't Lord Hu know that this wine is poisonous?" ”
Shocked, Hu Tong was startled, his throat tightened, seeing Xu Chen's appearance like this was really terrifying, and his face turned a little red.
Xu Chen immediately laughed, and Li also laughed along, this Hu Tong knew that he was put together, to be honest, he was really scared just now......
Outside the private room, in the hall, there were Li Ye's men and Hu Tong's personal guards. The third floor was chartered by Xu Chen, and there were only a few people in the hall.
At this time, there is also a table of wine and food in the hall outside, which is specially prepared for these people, which is also normal, when it is time to eat, the host is eating inside, and the people who are the next people can't just wait, this table of wine and food is also ordered by Li.
Li also brought these people, all of whom were his loyal subordinates, and had participated in many major events, such as guarding Yumo, beating Cui Ren, killing Cui Ren, and often bullying some official children in the early years.
I have been following Li for five or six years, and I am very central to Li, but now I have been assigned a task by Li Ye, and I am sitting in the hall at this time, watching the banquet, I walked up to Hu Tong's guards and said, "Brother, don't you come to have a drink together?" ”
The head of Hu Tong's guards has long thief eyebrows and rat eyes, but he has a good kung fu, called Hu San, this is also a strange man recruited by Hu Tong from the rivers and lakes, martial arts, and he is so sorry, at first glance, it is also very majestic.
Hu Sanyi came over as soon as he saw this big man, but said: "Our guards often focus on protecting the safety of adults, where do we dare to be half idle, I'm afraid it's not good......
Yan Shi refused, and just said that this person is really fucking pretending, don't give you face, if you don't have a task, who the hell cares about you!
is to say: "Brother, why is this so ugly, what is done inside is that the prince of the dynasty still has the secretary of the military department, and there are a group of officers and soldiers of the Qin County Order downstairs, what do you mean, Lord Hu is here today, will there be any danger!" ”
Blowing his beard and glaring, he said very unhappily, and just said: "This table of dishes is specially entertained by the prince to you and my brothers, you don't give face like this, you waste a piece of the prince's heart, don't eat it, don't eat it!" ”
"Brothers, let's eat!"
I often beckoned a few brothers to sit down, and Hu San was not a bad pen, how could he refuse this statement, besides, the laughter and laughter in the food, sometimes I heard laughter, and after thinking about it, which of the people inside is not noble, not to mention that this is in broad daylight, and in the downtown area, how many incidents there are!
The reason why Hu San is so cautious is that Hu Daren has many enemies, and he may die at any time.
"Slow down, brother!" Hu San took a few steps forward, "How dare I not accept the prince's kindness, it's just that the younger brother is too cautious, since the brother invited, how can I not be unreasonable?" When it's time to make friends! ”
"Just say so! Everyone is a guard where the rules come from, take a seat! ”
As soon as Chang smiled happily, he beckoned Hu San's buddies to come and sit down, this table is very large, enough to sit seven or eight people, and when there are many people, this table will be lively.
"Where is my brother from?" Gangchang asked.
"A native of Jinju, but I've been in Kyung-ri for nearly ten years."
"So-and-so can see that my brother must have been the one who walked the rivers and lakes before!"
Hu San and Gang Chang sat together, and when they heard Gang Chang say this, they were curious: "Why do you ...... brother?"
"Something is not, you can see at a glance that most of the guards like you and me in the capital are walking the rivers and lakes."
Hu San nodded and said, "I haven't asked my brother Gao's name yet." ”
"Just usual!"
"Nonsense!"
"What's the matter, I just don't change my name and sit without changing my surname, why are you talking nonsense?" Gang Chang Qi said.
"Haha, my big brother's big name is nonsense, and people give me the nickname Hu San!"
"Why are you so named! Haha, you strong man, you are quite distinctive! ”
Hu San echoed and smiled, walking in the rivers and lakes was not less affected by this broken name, and he was helpless, so he gave himself a nickname.
"Today, I'm fate, come, I'll give you a drink!"
Guards like them can't drink alcohol outside, Hu San knows it, but it's really hard to be gracious, to the point where not drinking is not giving face, how can this work!
People who walk the rivers and lakes, most of them have a heroic spirit, people like them, even if they know each other, they are not so secretive, they are much more bold than ordinary people, everyone in the surname love naturally gets to know the surname in the love, just often just know that this is a mission, but when I see this thief-eyed Hu San is so easy to speak, but also quite angry, it is more natural.
This glass of wine can no longer be contained, Hu San and a few of his subordinates are also drinking indiscriminately, coming and going, they are all rough people, just drinking and not eating, and toasting in circles, this is a short time after a while The kung fu is good......
"What about this second glass of wine, Lord Jinghu doesn't care about my mistakes, and if you miss it during the martial arts, you will be crippled, I'm really sorry."
Xu Chen held the wine glass, smiling, but there was something else in his eyes, that Hu Tong was really startled by the "poisonous wine" just now, and at this time, Xu Chen mentioned the past that made him grit his teeth with hatred, and he couldn't help but show a displeased look on his face, but he also picked up the wine glass and said: "Hu never cares." ”
There is no level to say this.
Xu Chen ignored it, Li Ye and Qin Xian Ling sat there and watched Xu Yuma toast, saying something that was not nutritious and boring, and after a while, there was a sound of staggering in the hall outside.
When Xu Chen heard the sound outside, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and then he picked up the wine and said, "This third cup is to thank Master Hu." ”
Hu Tongyi listened, frowned, and said, "Thank you?" ”
"Of course there is, I want to thank Master Hu for sending someone to shoot cold arrows at me there, and also sending someone to chase and kill, you say, do you want to thank you!"
After Xu Chen finished speaking, his face was already showing murderous intent, so where could Hu Tong not see it, and hurriedly said: "Xu Shilang doesn't want to spew blood, saying that something out of nothing!" ”
"Did you know it out of nothing, before you died, I just want to ask, is it Yang Guozhong's instigation or someone else?!"
This moment directly picked out the matter, Hu Tong immediately jumped up angrily, but as soon as he stood up, a sword was on his neck.
Hu Tong was taken aback, he never expected that this concubine would do something to him here, and in front of Qin County's order, not to mention that there were many guards outside, are you going to rebel!
Looking back, it was a masked man in black, Hu Tong didn't have time to think about it, just wanted to shout that the sword was quickly withdrawn, and then he slashed at Hu Tong's head, and the knife fell in his hand, but in a flash, the head fell directly from his neck and rolled to the ground.
Immediately, the headless body suddenly burst out like a pillar of blood, rushing directly to the ceiling, and the table of wine and food was instantly dyed red.
There was a dead silence, and Qin County Ling was directly scared......
Li was also frightened, where had he seen such a blood surname, Hu Tong's head was still rolling under his feet, and those wide eyes were staring at him thoughtfully.
"I'm cao," Li jumped up and jumped onto the chair.
Xu Chen was stunned and speechless.
The man in black is Qiu Ling, the plan is clearly not written like this, Xu Chen has not taken out even a little useful information from Hu Tong's mouth, and Qiu Ling cut off Hu Tong's head with a sword, the script is obviously not written like this.
originally planned to torture him in front of Hu Tong, and thought of various ways to relieve his anger, but the script was ruthlessly exploited by the producer and ruthlessly deleted by the director, no, isn't Xu Chen the director? That Qiu Ling is the producer.
This time it was too sudden, that Hu Tong wanted to shout, he could cover his mouth, he could cut his throat, even if he shouted, the master guards outside were all drunk, but it was such a sword, a real sword.
At this time, Xu Chen couldn't say anything, you could see Qiu Ling's trembling body under the mask, she took revenge, but Xu Chen didn't approve of this method, you can let others take a look, just like in a TV series, and then put on a few words of dialogue, let the other party know who killed him, but Qiu Ling, it's too simple.
Qin Xian Ling wanted to cry directly, Xu Chen glanced at him, and said: Old Qin, in the future, we will be grasshoppers tied to a boat...... (To be continued.) )
