Chapter Forty-Six: The Marquis of Yanshi
"Hey, you owe face, I'm here, where's the guy who fed you bones?"
In the face of Yang Ping'an's arrogant provocation, Feng Xiaobao's eyes erupted with fire, but he suppressed the anger in his heart, just sneered and snorted coldly.
Feng Xiaobao's reaction made Yang Ping'an feel worried. From the looks of everyone in the Yang Family Restaurant, it is not difficult to see that everyone is waiting for a big man to arrive.
The shopkeeper of Zuixiao Pavilion is the shopkeeper of Lu, the owner is Huang Fatzi, the backstage is Feng Xiaobao, and the upcoming big man is probably Feng Xiaobao's backer.
Who could it be? Why do you have to bite me? Sweeping the eyes of Dou Er and Feng Xiaobao, Yang Ping'an's mind gradually became clear, but what role did Liu Qingqing play in it?
While thinking about it, I suddenly heard a loud voice from outside the door: "Yanshi Hou is coming, everyone will welcome you!" ”
As the voice came, a kind of guards rushed in, divided into left and right guards on both sides of the gate, and a person dressed in a purple python robe, with a slender figure of more than thirty years, surrounded by many armor-clad guards, proudly entered.
This person wears a purple and gold crown, his face is white, and he shows the atmosphere of wealth and luxury when he raises his hands and feet.
"See Master Hou!" Everyone in the building turned around and bowed in unison, even the oily trio was no exception, bowing honestly.
Yang Ping'an took a few steps back, hid behind the oil powder trio, peeked in, and thought about countermeasures.
Yanshi Hou looked very talkative, with a smile on his face like a warm spring breeze, and nodded slightly and said gently: "I am entangled in trivial matters, and I apologize for making you wait for a long time." ”
How dare everyone present blame, they all laughed and said that the master Hou Guiren was busy, and even Dou Er hid in the corner and echoed two sentences.
His arrival, like standing out from the crowd, immediately attracted all the attention, and many face-faced figures like stars and moons surrounded him in the middle to greet him non-stop.
Feng Xiaobao's spirits were greatly lifted, and he came to Yanshi Hou's side, pointed to Yang Ping'an behind the oil powder trio, and said loudly: "Master Hou, that's Xiucai'an, you can call the shots for the little one!" ”
"Shut up!" Yanshi Hou shouted, "No big or small, Ben Hou acts, when it is your turn to point fingers, don't retreat!" ”
Feng Xiaobao smiled, retreated behind Yanshi Hou, bowed his waist and stood with his eyebrows lowered, but his eyes pierced Yang Ping'an through the crowd, as if he was looking at a dead man.
After drinking Feng Xiaobao, Yanshi Hou looked around and asked, "Can Master Dou come?" ”
Dou Er hurriedly walked out from behind everyone, and said in a panic: "The little one is just a grass people, and he has to be lifted by friends in the rivers and lakes and shout 'Dou Ye'." In front of Hou Ye, the small one didn't dare to be presumptuous, and the Hou Ye called the little Dou Er. ”
"A grass people? Hehe," Yanshi Hou chuckled, "You are also doing things for the imperial court, monitoring Benhou, for several years, do you really think that Benhou doesn't know?" ”
"Hou Ye atoned for his sins!" Dou Er fell to his knees with a thud, "Where is the duty of the lowly position, if there is anything that offends the Hou Ye, please forgive the Hou Ye." ”
Dou Er was indeed a spy sent by the imperial court to Yanshi to monitor Yanshihou. It's just that Yanshi Hou is an honorable person in the royal family, if he really annoys Yanshi Hou, the court will never stand up for him.
Before, he helped Yang Ping'an deal with Zuixiao Pavilion; After Yang Ping'an stabbed Feng Xiaobao, it was he who came forward to reveal his identity and forced the county order to release him; even used the men and horses in his hands, and used Yang Ping'an as bait at night to ambush and kill many people in black, which had already offended Yanshihou.
However, Yanshi Hou didn't seem to be a person who held grudges, so he waved his hand and smiled: "You also said it, where the duty lies, how can Ben Hou blame you?" In the past, it was indeed done by Benhou's subordinates, and it has nothing to do with you to pay the price.
Ben Hou is loyal to His Majesty, how can he blame you for getting rid of you under the pretext? You don't need to be so alarmed, you need to do your duty in the future, continue to monitor Benhou, and report Benhou's actions to the court, so that the world can know the center of Benhou. Get up. ”
This Hou Ye is really not simple! Yang Ping'an knew that his biggest opponent today was Yanshi Hou...... To be honest, he doesn't think he is qualified to be the opponent of Yanshi Hou, after all, the other party is Hou Ye!
But the current matter has been clear, from all the restaurants in the county in the morning to the Yang's restaurants, they are all coming for him!
Yanshi Hou is by no means a good man and a woman, and he pointed out Dou Er as soon as he came up. Although those words seemed reasonable, they made Dou Er finally stand up from the ground, and there was no lack of punishment.
Hey, is this Hou Ye suitable for his origin?
While Yanshihou was talking to Dou Er, he pulled the oily powder trio and inquired in detail, and finally figured out the origin of this Yanshihou.
Yanshi Hou's surname is Yang Mingxiong, a brother of the Son of Heaven. His father, Yang Shuoshi, was the king of Ning, and he was the uncle of today's cousin and the younger brother of the late emperor.
The new emperor is affectionate, as the only son of the old emperor, after ascending the throne three years ago, he will be the second son of the prince in various places, and the fiefs are all around Luoyang, such as Yanshi, Mengjin, Luoning, Xin'an and other places.
Although the titles of princes in various places are hereditary, they are only passed on to the eldest son, and the second son has no right to inherit. The new emperor's move was immediately supported by the clan, and the second sons of the feudal kings entered Beijing one after another and stayed in the fiefdom. It was at that time that Yang Xiong was given the title of Marquis of Yanshi.
Yang Xiong has been in Yanshi for three years, and he rarely shows up, but the leading figures in the county are all respectful to him, just because his father King Ning is a rare wise prince in the Tang Dynasty.
According to legend, Yang Shuo won the expectations of the people and had the best chance to inherit the unification, but the elders and young were orderly, and finally the throne passed to the old emperor, and he was named King Ning.
When the old emperor first ascended the throne, many people were worried that King Ning was unwilling to compete for the throne, which would cause turmoil in the world of Xiao Wall.
But King Ning was broad-minded, for the livelihood of the world, took the lead in expressing support for the emperor's accession to the throne, handed over the power in his hands, and left the eastern capital to go to the southern fiefdom, so the Tang Dynasty avoided a turmoil.
After a long time, Yang Shuo, the king of Ning, was close to the sixtieth year, guarding the fiefdom and being honest, and the Tang Dynasty was thriving under the governance of the old emperor and gradually entered the prosperous era.
Yanshi Hou Yangxiong's matter, the oil powder trio all knows. But no one knows that the real backstage of Drunken Xiao Pavilion is Yanshi Hou.
After introducing these, Yang Guozhong said worriedly: "Big brother, things are not good, Yanshi Hou is not something we can provoke, and Dou Ye is not worth mentioning in front of him." ”
Deng Wei also lowered his voice, his brows furrowed, and his eyes opened: "If it really doesn't work, let's give in, I want him to be a prince, and I will never worry about a small person like us." ”
Xie Tiancheng Orchid pointed at Yang Ping'an, and her sissy trembled slightly: "What the third brother said is right, what crime has our brother not suffered?" It's just a few soft words, and no one can die. If the eldest brother can't pull the son, our brother will come forward. ”
"Don't meddle in this matter, leave it to me."
The oil powder trio is well-intentioned, but their knowledge is too shallow, even if it is Yang Guozhong, today's experience and struggle experience are far from enough.
Yang Ping'an, who has experienced cruel dumping, knows very well that this time Yanshi Hou came forward, he definitely didn't want to listen to his soft words, not to say Drunken Xiao Pavilion, just to say that Feng Xiaobao is difficult to understand. Could it be that he can't offer Dong'er's hands?
What do you want to do, how can I fool you?
Just thinking about it, I heard someone call his name, Yang Ping'an suddenly woke up, but it was Yanshi Hou who was asking: "Where is Yang Ping'an?" ”
At this moment, Dou Er had retreated to the corner, Yanshi Hou's eyes were slightly closed, and everyone's eyes turned to Yang Ping'an, Feng Xiaobao was even more proud, smiling at him.
Nowadays, in the upper class society of Yanshi County, the name of Yang Ping'an has long been circulated. It has nothing to do with the Four Tigers of Yanshi, but because of the sky-high price of tofu, but also because of its grievances with Zuixiao Pavilion, as well as the knife and the killing that night.
Yang Ping'an walked out quickly, hugging his fists and saying, "The grass people have seen Master Hou." ”
Yang Xiong suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze became sharp, and he seemed to smile and said, "You are the famous Xiucai'an?" ”
"Don't dare to be, and then it's Yang Ping'an."
Feng Xiaobao suddenly jumped out from behind Yang Xiong, pointed at Yang Ping'an and shouted: "Bold Yang Ping'an, why don't you kneel when you see Hou Ye?" Someone, drag him out and behead him! ”
"What are you, do you have the right to speak!" Yang Ping'an scolded, shook it casually, and threw it out of the door without knowing what was in his hand, "Go, transfer the wooden stick back, don't disturb me to talk to your master!" ”
Feng Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the deep meaning of Yang Ping'an's words, and immediately jumped to his feet and scolded: "You dare to scold me for being a dog!" Speaking of this, his face changed abruptly, full of grievances, and begged: "Master Hou, you see, this person is arrogant, you must not spare him." You have to call the shots for the little one, the little one has a knife wound on his body that is not good yet! ”
Yang Xiong waved his hand, motioned for Feng Xiaobao to stop, and then looked at Yang Ping'an with interest, and asked, "You are bold, aren't you afraid that Benhou will kill you?" ”
"Hou Ye is high up and noble, but he is just a flat-headed common man below, why does Hou Ye surrender his identity and become entangled with him?"
"What a sharp-toothed Diao Min! Today, if you kneel down and beg for mercy, Ben Hou may be able to spare your life, but you dare to be disrespectful to Ben Hou, Ben Hou will never spare you! Come! ”
"Wait!" Yang Ping'an was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, "Lord Hou harmed the people for no reason, aren't you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of Lord Wang?" ”
"Hmph, you're a little clever." Yang Xiong sneered, and turned his head to look at the Yanshi County Order, "Lord County Commander, a few days ago, it was said that Diao Min Yang Ping'an intended to murder Benhou's henchmen, if it weren't for Xiao Baofu's big life, that knife missed the vital point, I am afraid that I would die on the spot."
When you said that you judged the case impartially and arrested him, why did you release him in vain? Could it be that he accepted bribes and perverted the law for bribes! ”
Yanshi County Ling was horrified in his heart, and fell to the ground with a plop: "Hou Ye is clearly decided, the lower officials are honest and honest, and he is aware of the corruption and perversion of the law, and he doesn't recognize Diao Min Yang Ping'an." It was only when there was no plaintiff that the lower officials released him, but sent people to closely monitor him to prevent him from escaping from the county seat. ”
"Ben Hou believes that you are," Yang Xiong nodded, "You get up." Now that the sufferer and the murderer are here, what should I do, I don't have to hand it over to you, right? ”
The Yanshi County Commander secretly glanced at Dou Er, the embarrassment on his face disappeared, and he asked loudly: "Bold Yang Ping'an, are you guilty!" ”
Yang Ping'an didn't look at the county order at all, looked directly at Yanshi Hou Yangxiong, and said softly: "Hou Ye is so eager to take his life, isn't he afraid of angering the champion building of the Eastern Capital?" ”
Dou Er's body trembled when he heard this, and Liu Qingqing was keenly aware of the change in Dou Er's expression, and his lips closed again, and his eyebrows frowned slightly and stared at Yang Ping'an.
Yang Xiongcheng laughed and said, "Haha, you're smart." If you die suddenly, the champion building loses the source of tofu, and maybe there will be branches, but do you think Ben Hou will care about the little champion building? What's more, why do you think Ben Hou will be late? ”
Saying this, he suddenly turned his head sideways and shouted outside the door: "Come on, bring things in!" ”
