Chapter 113: One Whip and One Tael of Silver
In front of the wide mansion of Zhennan Wangfu, a bonfire was lit, and the burning bonfire illuminated the entire street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fresh lamb was roasted on the campfire, and the smell was bubbling with a tangy aroma, and a few men were sitting next to the campfire, drinking and laughing. The crowds not far away were crowding the streets, and they were completely confused by the scene in front of them.
If this is in the Liao Dynasty, it is definitely nothing new, but this is the first time I have seen a roadside barbecue in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. What surprised them even more was that the barbecue was made by the prince's aunt Wanyan Aguta. Sitting there eating and drinking was the king of Zhennan himself, as well as the shogunate, stewards, attendants and family members in the palace. They have no concept of master and servant at all, which makes people who smell and can't eat, and even those who are infected by this fusion atmosphere really look envious and jealous.
"Damn, it smells so good!" Passers-by touched the saliva that was about to be left behind with their sleeves.
"What's the matter? Our position is not good, you look at the tall man, warm and can smell, do you want to change with him? ”
"you, why don't you go."
Among the passers-by were reckless and bold, shouting towards the bonfire: "Lord, so interested! ”
Wang Bei whispered a few words to Jiao Deyou, and Jiao Deyou stood up and shouted to the crowd: "The prince said, whoever can chant poetry, do it right, or sing and dance acrobatics, as long as they perform, they can come over and drink two glasses together." ”
The buzzing of the crowd got up again, and what kind of treatment was it to sit by the bonfire and have two drinks with the prince in this winter. "Really? ”
"The prince won't be joking, right?!"
"Others don't know, this Zhennan King won't."
"But I didn't see such a toss, and I didn't dare to ask."
"I'm coming!" A small group of people stood out of the crowd, holding a spear in their hands, and walked straight to the campfire. "We won't do it right, we won't be able to play with guns and sticks!" As he spoke, the spear in his hand whirred and played.
"Good!"
"This guy is okay, where did he come from?"
"Perform on the street!"
"No way, you didn't see the boots he was wearing, maybe they were in some army."
After a set of stick tricks, Wang couldn't help but applaud, seeing that this person was about twenty years old, tall and tall, with a gun in his hand. Careful people can find that the gun is slightly thicker than the ordinary gun, and although the marksmanship routine is average, Wang can see that it only uses six or seven percent of the skill. The king looked at this man, but he was brave and liked it in his heart.
"Haha, okay. Do it! ”
After the king finished speaking, a family member moved out of the courtyard and took out a few more sittings. The young man also came over politely, thanked the prince, sat on it, took the wine glass handed by the housekeeper, and drank it all.
"Happy!"
Seeing that someone was going over, there was really wine and meat and the prince could drink together, and the others couldn't stay still. Anyone who has a little stunt has stepped forward, some have compared fists and feet, some have juju balls, and some have top cylinders. Now the front of the palace is more lively, and the king gives wine one by one as usual.
"Go, the nearby restaurant will bring all the wine that can be moved, and no matter how good the meat and vegetables are, send more!" Wang Bi doesn't know if he is looking at the beauty, or if he drinks too much, who won't spend money, today he just wants to create a momentum, to let people know that he Wang Bi is not dead.
For a time, the streets and alleys of the capital were spread all over, and everyone who ate and drank in the restaurant also came to see the excitement. Watch this free performance, and who wouldn't want to eat as many drinks and food. There are also those who have no skills and don't want to miss the good show have also moved stools, with wine to learn to light a small fire next to the king and sit there watching the big drama from a distance, the scene is even more lively than Chinese New Year's Eve.
The family of Ji Wangfu finally bypassed the bonfires of each family, and squeezed through the crowd, and saw from a distance that there was really a person hanging on the big tree in front of the palace. At this time, Gao Yu is wilted, how can he have the heart to watch those performances, the coach of a palace is now hanging and watching people eat and drink, his face is lost, how can he mix in the capital in the future.
"Coach Gao, Coach Gao, are you still alive?"
"Phew, let go of your mother's shit, hurry up and put the master down!" Gao Yu saw that his own person had come, and he spat bloodshot with hatred.
"Then you wait, our King Ji took the silver to ransom you!"
"Go!"
Wang Bei had already seen the movement next to the tree, and saw the family of King Ji's Mansion approaching this side, Wu Ling stood up and drank: "What person! ”
"Uncle, I am from King Ji's Mansion to send silver to the prince to ransom Coach Gao."
"You wait!"
Wu Ling turned around and asked the king loudly, his voice was already loud, which raised his voice even more, which was enough for the people around him to hear: "Ji Wangfu sent someone to send silver to ransom Gao Yu, what do you think, prince?" ”
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and if Gao Yu was taken away, this bonfire game would be nothing to look at.
"How much was sent!?" The king said unhurriedly.
"How much was sent?" Wu Ling asked the family again and again.
"One hundred taels of silver!"
"One hundred taels of silver!" Wu Ling was like a microphone, and like a megaphone, the news penetrated everyone's ears.
"One hundred taels, tattooed silver!"
"This coach is worth so much silver, enough for Lao Tzu's family to eat for half a year."
"Cut, the palace is still the same as you, your family can't eat enough for half a day."
"Don't make any noise, listen to what the prince has to say."
Wang stood up with his hands behind his back, and a handsome figure appeared by the bonfire in the realization of the people.
"Which of you has a whip?"
Hearing the king's question, the fifteen or sixty-year-old man asked, "Whip?" I have a donkey whip in my hand! ”
"It's you, come here!" The king hooked his hand.
The old man took a few steps forward: "Lord Wang, are you useful?" ”
"What did he say about the Ji Palace? A hundred taels? Hmph, my Zhennan King invites everyone to drink wine and eat meat for more than a hundred taels tonight. Did you see the man hanging? ”
"Look, I see!"
"Give me a beating, one or two whips, and a hundred lashes, this hundred taels will be yours!"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and before he could understand, Wu Ling grabbed the silver sent by the family and put it in the old man's hand: "Didn't you hear the prince's orders?" Beat! ”
"One two, two two, three two!" "The old man can't count, although the old man's strength is limited after dozens of whips, the cotton clothes that Gao Yu is wearing are also open, and the cotton wool is brought out along the whip and falls one after another, and Gao Yu gradually feels pain.
"Lord Wang, fifty-six taels, fifty-seven taels, huhu!" The old man gasped, and the people around him listened quietly to the old man's whip and whip the number of silver in his hand, and they all hated it in their hearts, how could they come out without a whip.
"Come and rest when you're tired, drink some wine and eat some meat!" At the behest of the king, Wu Ling shouted loudly.
"Alas, don't stop, there should be a continuation of the performance, the prince and everyone haven't drunk yet!" While talking about the old man Wuling, he shouted towards the crowd.
The people who had been silent for a long time finally moved again, but it was clear that their attention was still on the silver and the whip.
The old man was not tired, and he slapped a hundred whips in one go, and then sat by the bonfire: "Thank you prince, thank you prince, my donkey is also old, just enough to buy a new one." Hahaha! ”
Gao Yu is so angry, although a hundred whips are a lot, but fortunately, the blow is not heavy, but at this moment the clothes have bloomed, and the flesh of the swishing wind is painful, this is the cold winter wax moon.
The family accompanied the smiling face: "Lord Wang, you accepted the silver, what about this person?" ”
"Fart, which of your eyes saw me accept the money, you ask so many people, did I accept your money?"
"Nope!" The onlookers coaxed in unison.
"I also told you, go back and tell you what kind of prince is, the people in his house are bullying people and bullying me, and I haven't settled this account with him yet. Ransom people with money? If he can't afford it, don't be embarrassed here. ”
Gao Yu grinned when he heard this, one or two whips, if King Ji's eighteen-thousand-thousand-thousand
The onlookers didn't care about this, and while coaxing to make way for the family who slipped back to deliver the letter, they heard that the palace would continue, and saw a cart of wine and food delivered from the restaurant to the palace in front of the palace, and everyone's enthusiasm rose again.
The king looked at the young man just now: "This brother, your gun is different, can you lend me a look?" ”
The young man smiled and held the gun over with both ends, and the king copied it up and checked it, the gun was very heavy, and if you listened carefully, you could feel that there seemed to be something in the core of the gun that rustled faintly.
"You're famous, what's your name, young man?"
"If the prince can know the origin of this gun, I will tell the prince!"
"Hehe, the courage is not small, dare to talk about the conditions." Although the young man's words were a little disrespectful, Wang Jian did not feel provocative when he heard it, and his intuition told him that this young man must have a background, and the tone of his words was not like a stranger's conversation, but a little bit of a little joke of kindness.
"The pear flower gun called your gun, there are hook sickle-shaped iron forks on both sides of the gun head, two long blades can be used for scythes upwards, and two short blades can be used for sickles downwards, which have the functions ......of burning, stabbing, forking, hooking, etc."
The young man looked at Wang Bian with a smile, but his eyes were not completely sure, and Wang Bian was not in a hurry, so he turned back to Chen Kang and said, "Mr. Chen, how many guns like this did we have back then?" ”
"I don't do much, more than a dozen of them are the prince's cronies!"
"Yes!" Wang patted the young man on the shoulder: "The handle of this gun is 6 feet long, there is an iron drill at the end, the head of the gun is 1 foot long, and two jet cartridges are clamped under the head of the gun, which are connected by a fuse. A 2-foot-long cartridge is mounted under the tip of the gun. It contains mixed agents such as willow charcoal, iron decanter, magnetic powder, sulfur, arsenic, etc., which has the effects of combustion, toxic smoke and spraying. This time I'm right, tell me, where did you come from, what's your name? ”
When the young man heard this, he immediately got up and bowed down on one knee: "I am not talented, but Zhang Qing, the son of Zhang Chang, the former commander of the prince's guard!" ”
"Zhang Qing!" Wang Bian's heart moved, Zhang Chang is Manchang, and now he is sent out by Wang Bian to assist Wang Shi, and this son is Zhang Qing.
The king helped him up: "No need to be polite, come and sit down and talk!" Why did you come to the capital?! ”
"Late born with the command of the Deshun military branch to come to the capital to reply to the decree, because I heard that my father had returned to the prince, I specially went to the capital to meet the prince in advance."
"Commander of the seed capital?"
"Exactly, he was also personally happy when he heard that the prince had returned, and told me to hurry up and come to visit first. Oh, this kind of commander is the way of the seed master! ”
The Deshun army was stationed near Longgan, which is known as the "throat of eastern Qiandong and a military fortress". It seems that Zhao Ji is not honest because the treasury is tight, what is he going to do because of the constant small actions?
