March 13 of the 10th year of the great cause is the birth of the county shou Wu Province of Dongping County, so on this day the county shou mansion is very lively, the guests are like clouds, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. In addition to the large and small officials in Yuncheng, there were also the gentry of Dongping County, and the county magistrate of Juye County, the county magistrate of Juye County, who claimed to have risked his life to congratulate the county guard.

Hundreds of guests almost filled the county guard's mansion, and naturally there were not so many people sitting in the living room, so the courtyard was also bustling, and those who were qualified to enter the living room were all officials above the county level of Dongping County, as well as the best of the local large households.

The butler who greeted the guests at the door kept singing people's names and shouting that there was a guest.

Wu Xingzhi was very happy, he "reluctantly" accepted the kindness of his subordinates to celebrate his birthday, otherwise a clean official like him would naturally not live for himself with such fanfare. Then he reluctantly accepted the congratulatory gifts from the guests and friends, and said with a straight face that he would not take an example. He said this last year, and he said it the year before last.

By noon, the guests had almost arrived, and the feast began. The master chefs of famous restaurants such as Jiuxianglou and Banxianju in Yuncheng are busy in the kitchen, of course, they are busy in vain, and in the end it is estimated that they will not be able to get the salary of a copper plate, but it doesn't matter, because this money is naturally from the owners of their respective restaurants. Lord Fujun has a birthday, and these businessmen who can't usually get on the stage can be regarded as finding an opportunity to tie up. The owners of the restaurants have explained a long time ago, so that those cooks can show very skills, after all, the people who eat wine in the house today are either rich or expensive, and being able to make friends with some of them will be of great help to the restaurant business. Moreover, these chefs in charge of various restaurants naturally have a heart of comparison when they get together, and no one is convinced by anyone, and they are full of strength when they cook, and they are not willing to lose to others.

In March of the tenth year of the Great Sui Dynasty, there were 4,212 people starving to death in Dongping County, just in time to catch up with the green and yellow time, a large number of refugees poured to Yuncheng outside, but were shot dead by the county soldiers who defended the city and dispersed hundreds of people, and then Zhang Sanheng sent people to report to the imperial court, in a certain year and a month, tens of thousands of thieves besieged Yuncheng, Dongping County guarded Wu Province, Dongping County Cheng Zhang Sanheng led the county soldiers to fight to kill the enemy, and tried to ensure that Yuncheng was not lost, and killed more than 5,000 Caokou, and tens of thousands of bandits were defeated.

People were starving to death everywhere, and the barren fields were even more miserable, but behind such a desolate scene, a sickly and prosperous farce was being staged in the county guard's mansion.

At the beginning of the banquet, various dishes are generally delivered to the table. The officials and gentry from various counties pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, said that they had been looking up for a long time, and said that they were polite, and they became good friends after three glasses of wine. The big people in Dongping County in the living room ate them, and the people in the courtyard didn't care if the food on the table was different, anyway, they had to come today, and the people who couldn't see it didn't care about it.

It is a little different from the bustle in the courtyard, and the three tables in the living room are all sitting around the most noble people in Dongping County, so they are also very polite. Naturally, there will be no mundane things such as fist fighting, and of course, such an elegant thing as having a singer and a dancer accompany you is naturally indispensable.

Wu Xingzhi stood up and said a few polite words, then smiled and said with a smile, first do it as a respect, and then drink it all. What followed was a wave of praise, such as the heroic and magnificent Lord Fujun, the amount of alcohol and the like, like a surging river, as if the county keeper's glass of wine was comparable to that of ordinary people drinking so much wine in a hundred catties of vats, and even more than that.

At this moment, suddenly a group of people turned around from the corner of the street, wearing red and hanging colors, blowing and playing lively. It seems that there are quite a few people, a hundred people. They are all green shirts and soap boots, walking in front of more than 30 green shirts and big men to open the way, with a fierce face, holding a whistle stick in their hands, and driving away the lively people not far from the county guard mansion to make way, in fact, there is no need for them to drive away, seeing so many people coming from the street, the people have long let out a road.

A few green-shirted guests in the back carried the gift box, obviously also went to the county guard mansion to pay homage, the most eye-catching thing is that there are eight strong men behind the coffin, draped in red and hung colors, it looks quite festive. On the top of the coffin, a man dressed in black sat cross-legged, taking a sip of wine, he hugged his fist to the people on the side of the road, his face was kind, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also very close. Behind the coffin were dozens of green-shirted people carrying horizontal knives, with neat steps and swaggering.

The man in the black shirt sitting in the coffin looked to be about thirty years old, and although his face was not handsome, and even ordinary people would never attract attention when put in the crowd, this person always looked like he was smiling, and he didn't seem to mind the gaze of the onlookers.

Such a peculiar group of men and horses naturally attracted the attention of many people, and after a while, the streets were filled with people, and everyone looked at the coffin in amazement.

When the team arrived at the gate of the county guard's mansion, they were stopped by the servants and helpers in the yamen, and these people were usually vicious and vicious in Yuncheng. But I don't know why, I stopped in front of the 100 green-shirted guests, only asked a word and then retreated, and after a while, I didn't know where to hide.

The man in black sitting in the coffin jumped down from the coffin and walked to the door with his hands in his hands.

"Who are you...... What to do! ”

The butler who greeted the guest at the door asked with a trembling tongue, and involuntarily took a step back.

"Annoyed to report, General Li of Juye Zeyan Yunzhai has sent a congratulatory gift to the county guard."

Seeing that the butler was so frightened that he sat on the ground, the man in black sighed and asked seriously, "Why don't you roll your name?" ”

After a while, the trembling butler staggered to the living room, the gift slip in his hand was already wet with his sweat, but fortunately the handwriting was not blurred.

A fish, a pound of meat, 100 unripe apricots, a horizontal knife, and a coffin.

Wu Xingzhi looked at the gift list and immediately turned white, and said in a trembling voice: "The people of Juye Zeyan Cloud Village, what are you doing here, what does this mean!" ”

Pei Shisheng, the head of the Pei family of the Yuncheng Wang clan, looked at the gift list, and his face changed greatly. He vaguely guessed the meaning of the list, but he didn't dare to say it.

……

……

After a while, the man in black was invited into the county guard's mansion, and the old housekeeper walked cautiously in front, and when he passed through the courtyard, the man in black was still interested in greeting those guests who were eating and drinking, and he smiled and clenched his fists in the face of people he didn't know in the courtyard.

"Who is this?"

Someone whispered to the person sitting next to the table, but no one knew him.

"It should be someone sent by an adult, you see, he was led directly into the living room by the official. If you weren't a big person, could you enter the living room? ”

"Not necessarily, if it is someone sent by a certain big man in the imperial court, it stands to reason that Lord Fujun should come out to greet him."

"Whatever, come, come, drink!"

When they arrived at the door, the man in black saw dozens of county soldiers hurrying over, standing still outside the door of the living room, holding the handle of the horizontal knife, looking menacing, but the panic in their eyes still could not be hidden.

After entering the living room, the man in black still looked smiling, with a kind expression, and waved his fist to the people in the room.

"Congratulations to Lord Fujun, I wish you a good year every year."

Wu Xingzhi had already asked, there were only a hundred and ten people coming, so he let go of some worries, Zhang Sanheng had already left the table to mobilize the county soldiers, so he asked with a dark face: "Who are you?" ”

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Piaoran."

The man in black was still smiling, but his smile was so cold: "On the orders of my general, I specially came to congratulate Lord Fujun on his birthday and give a small gift." ”

"Anti-thief!"

Wu Xingzhi stood up and scolded angrily: "You have come to the wrong place!" Aren't you afraid that the officials will bring you to justice? ”

Li Piaoran said with a smile: "I'm afraid, but if the general sends me, I will definitely come, because I am more afraid of the general." ”

At this moment, Zhang Sanheng came in from outside and nodded to Wu Xingzhi, and Wu Xingzhi immediately shouted angrily: "Come on, take down this anti-thief of Juyeze for me!" ”

It's not that Wu Xingzhi suddenly became bold, it's not that Ju Yeze's name can't scare him.

But the things on the gift list really made him unbearable, which was even more uncomfortable than killing him, and in front of hundreds of guests outside, and so many people in the room, did he make a compromise for the county guard?

He wasn't stupid, and he naturally understood the meaning of those things on the gift list.

A fish, a pound of meat, 100 green apricots, a horizontal knife, a coffin.
