Chapter 484: Half a Pot of Wine
(Today's fourth update, the code word is not easy on a cold day, please support it, thank you~)
Yanggu is only a corner of the place, and the scale is not magnificent compared with other major cities, but because of its special status and its faint situation of becoming the commercial center city of the Great Song Dynasty, after the closure of Yanggu, the world was shocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Especially the merchants, they are used to taking goods from Yanggu, and they can earn a full salary, for fear that the transaction with Yanggu will be variable.
Of course, they didn't have the strength or courage to question Yanggu, so they could only sit and wait for the imperial court's interrogation.
The imperial court's movements were very fast, and the government soldiers stationed outside the city immediately came to inquire, and then faced with the two thousand men and horses who were heavily armed and guarding the wall in Yanggu, they did not dare to act rashly at all.
Yanggu is the birthplace of Wuda, this place is too special, not to mention that now that the Great Song Dynasty is in turmoil, they will definitely not dare to start a war with Yanggu easily.
In the end, Yanggu County, who was dressed in white, ordered Nalan Lengfeng to go out of the city in person, so the reason for Yanggu's closure was explained.
"Last night, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Wufu was attacked by a mass killer, and Wufu was searching for it at this time." Nalan Lengfeng said.
Regardless of whether this explanation is satisfactory to the imperial court, whether this matter is true or not, the government soldiers can only report it according to the truth.
As for the officials of the county government, they have long been driven out of the city.
In fact, since the previous county commander was shot by Wu Da himself, the officials sent by the imperial court have been very stable, and the military mansion has not treated them slowly, eating and drinking well, and there are red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, what more can the husband ask for? What do you want to do?
Then, in the next few days, under the personal leadership of Nalan Lengfeng, the county commander of Yanggu County, the terrain south of Yanggu was surveyed and a new commercial gathering area was established here.
Even though this is a mountainous area, it doesn't matter, just blow it up.
Of course, Yanggu will not be stupid enough to use the sky-shaking thunder by himself, but will be led by Nalan Lengfeng, like the imperial court to apply for black powder.
At the same time, all those in the city whose identities were suspicious and could not be verified were "invited" out of the city.
Su's private school was in the middle of the holidays, and Song Zining freed up more things to help Chen Xi make suggestions and control Yanggu together.
……
The wheels of history are rolling non-stop, and the time is already at the beginning of 1125 AD.
Bianjing, the Great Song Jingshi, is as prosperous as ever, but this year's New Year's Pass, after all, is not as happy as in previous years, I always feel that there is an undercurrent flowing, and even ordinary people feel this uneasy atmosphere and become cautious.
In fact, except for the young children who are still carefree, most people are a little panicked.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Taishi Mansion of the Dynasty, which has not been in the court for a long time, and is above 10,000 people under one person, welcomed a special guest today.
The guest came in a small shabby sedan chair, entered through the back door, did not get out of the sedan chair, and went straight to the backyard.
It wasn't until outside a conservatory that the sedan chair stopped.
Everyone was dismissed, including the manpower of Taishi's Mansion was also emptied, and Cai Jingcai's old housekeeper personally helped an old man with crane hair out of the sedan chair.
It's Zhou Dong.
Today's Zhou Dong has the official position of Taifu, ranked as the third duke, and is a well-deserved member of the Zhengyi Rank, who can directly participate in the formulation and decision-making of military affairs, but the emperor often becomes a real ruler when he is young or the imperial family is weak, and there is only a line between him and the Taishi.
However, as we all know, Zhou Tong and Cai Jing are not compatible, many years ago the two of them were on the same page, of course, Zhou Dong at that time had no power to resist, and was suppressed by Cai Jing very miserably.
In the conservatory, Cai Jing, who has been sick at home all the year round, is lying on a recliner and leaning against the stove, and a pot of wine is warming on the stove.
At his side, there was another chaise longue, apparently reserved for Zhou Tong, and between the two chairs, there was a small round table with several plates of side dishes.
"Elder Brother Yuan (Cai Jing, the character Yuan Chang), I haven't seen you for many days, your little day is getting more and more comfortable!"
Zhou Tong walked into the conservatory, said hello to Cai Jing with a smile, and didn't see any outside, sat down, lay on the recliner, picked up the wine jug, drank a glass of self-drinking, and said comfortably after a while:
"It's really good wine."
Cai Jing couldn't deny it, and said with a smile: "A rare old friend is here, I naturally won't hide it, this is a good wine that has been buried for more than 20 years." ”
Like the two of them, who are proficient in the city, scheming, and have gone through ups and downs, even if they want to curse each other to die behind their backs, they will not have the slightest inappropriate behavior on the surface, even if they speak ill of each other, they are more like old friends than others.
Zhou Tong bowed his head slightly, what a mouth, carefully tasted it, put a piece of pig's head meat on the table, chewed it slowly, and said:
"You old horseman, you are really at ease now."
The old housekeeper poured wine for the two, Cai Jing raised his glass, took a sip lightly, and said lightly: "If you have no desire, you are strong, now the old man is a very human minister, there is no desire and no desire, as long as the old man does not make trouble, there is naturally no uninteresting person to tease the old man, and naturally there are no taboos, and he is very free." In a few days, the old man wants to take a concubine, and the old friend must appreciate his face to drink a glass of wine. ”
"Poof!"
Zhou Tong glanced at Cai Jing's crotch strangely, and said, "Old guy, are you sure that old thing under your crotch can still be used?" When you get up at night to pee in the toilet, your shoes will get wet, right? Also take a concubine, I don't know how to be ashamed! ”
Cai Jing didn't have the slightest embarrassment, and sneered, "The old man is now the third daughter of the emperor every day!" ”
Zhou Tong rolled his eyes, "You just blow it, should you still pee against the wind when you were young?" ”
Cai Jing smiled and picked up a broad bean and put it in his mouth, swallowed it for a while, but spit it out, and sighed: "Old man, it's really old, it's all old......"
Zhou Tong's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After being silent for a long time, Cai Jing suddenly said: "The old man has been conscientious all his life, and he has never done anything really out of the ordinary, and now the old man has seen several children die, and there are only a few unsuccessful sons left under his knees. ”
This is very abrupt, but it is obviously meaningful.
Zhou Tong didn't seem surprised at all, drank all the wine in the cup, got up, bowed, turned his head and left.
The two of them didn't seem to say anything, but they seemed to have said everything that should have been said, and everything was silent.
When he walked to the door, Zhou Tong suddenly stopped, but he didn't turn around, just said lightly: "Elder Brother Yuan, my son is gone, and I still have a grandson." If you want, you can pick a few and send them to Yanggu...... Even Yan Yun is not unavoidable. ”
After that, Zhou Tong didn't stay anymore and walked away.
Cai Jing laughed silently and drank the remaining half of the pot of wine.
