Chapter 722: The Ghost Door Opens (3)
In the VIP hall, with the sound of silk and bamboo, Song Suqing put a thick layer of lead powder on her face, held a fan in her hand, and danced. Although he is a man, he is thin and weak, and his steps are light, and he can pretend to be a woman. Although it is an official seat today, most of the leading figures of Ningbo merchants are also here to accompany them.
These businessmen have been doing business for a long time, and they are considered to be the relatively civilized part of the Ming Dynasty at present, and they are not disgusted by this kind of performance of men and women, but they watch it with relish, and some people stroke their palms and laugh.
Luangang Ruizuo's Chinese is also very fluent, he pointed to Song Suqing and said with a smile, "Song Suqing can sing and dance, and he has specially found someone to learn in the country, this can dance is his forte." Of course, compared to the dance of the Celestial Empire, it is really not worth mentioning, and it is enough to make everyone laugh. We are a small state, we have never seen the big world, and we don't know much, but we have a loyal heart, which is always much stronger than some arrogant hillbillies. ”
He pointed to the second seat, talking about who he didn't know. Zong Shiqian said that he was sick because of the water and soil, and he couldn't come at all, and the next seat was a few representatives of the Ouchi family. His identity is also at the level of a retainer, according to the standards of Fusang, these people are all Miao characters, not comparable to low-level personnel, and they can be regarded as giving face to Daming.
However, the status of these people cannot be compared with Luangang Ruizuo, even the several courtiers around Ruizuo are higher than them. Hosokawa and Ouchi became increasingly nervous, and the words of both sides could naturally be imagined in a meeting on such an occasion. Rizzo seized every opportunity to satirize the sect's side, and never hid his contempt for these people.
Being able to sit at the same table with the chief eunuch of Ningbo and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who came to the southeast to inspect the armaments, for the Hosokawa family, this mission was half of the success. Unlike Kendo Soshi, who was born in a samurai family, Ruizo Luoka was born in a wealthy merchant family, and his family education is much stronger, and his ability to do business is much stronger than his ability to fight.
He knew very well that the significance of his mission this time was to win the support of the Ming Dynasty for the main family, or to seem to have won the support of the Ming Dynasty. Ouchi and Hosokawa are similar in strength, if there is more Daming behind the Hosokawa family, whether it is the wealthy clan in the territory or the surrounding forces, they must be more inclined to Hosokawa's side, and when they start a war with the Ouchi clan, they will have more chips in their hands.
Compared with this, the gains and losses in business are trivial. Anyway, to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty is to make money and lose money, that is, there is a gap in earning more and earning less. Among these people, although the military attache named Yang Chengzu was young, he was indeed the leader of all of them, and it was said that he was a close confidant of the Ming Emperor. As long as you make friends with him, you will be able to speak in front of the emperor.
According to the information he had, Zong Shiqiandao and his party seemed to have a lot of contradictions with this favored minister. It seems that it is their partner, and there is a conflict with this young general, and today's banquet is deliberately to slap Zong Shi and others in the face. As long as he cooperates with a few people and slaps his face a little louder, he is not afraid of having no business to do.
With this awareness, and the idea of making a name for himself as his master, Rizzo was sharp-edged, with a gun and a stick, and burst out of laughter from time to time. The retainers of the Ouchi clan ate and drank without saying a word, as if they had no idea what was happening.
Savages, all savages! There was a strong taste of disdain in Rizzo's eyes, what can a bunch of poor ghosts from the West understand? If you don't come to this kind of banquet, how will your business go on this time? How can it go smoothly?
Yang Chengzu's face was never very good, and there was no smile during the whole banquet. Of course, this kind of puppet-like dance is not as lively as his own woman or Xue Niangzi's lively dance that can arouse his interest, but the bigger reason is that the uneasy mood is getting more and more serious, making him unspeakably awkward.
Looking at the seat of the Ouchi retainer, he frowned and asked Ryan, "The person you sent hasn't come back yet?" I'm not asking your people to invite people, but you must invite the sect? If he doesn't come, my heart is always uneasy. ”
"Rest assured, it makes no difference whether he comes or not. Anyway, we ate him, and if we were in a hurry, we said that there was a problem with his investigation, and even Jingshi wouldn't let him ......"
Before he finished his words, a ball of light suddenly exploded in front of the VIP hall, and a loud bang sounded immediately. This huge thunder and lightning came too suddenly, and several businessmen present were caught off guard for a moment and fell the chopsticks in their hands to the ground in fright. Song Suqing's dance was also disturbed by this huge thunder and couldn't dance, looking out blankly, the people sitting on the chief could see that there seemed to be a fire in the courtyard.
"Probably the thunder struck the trees in the courtyard, come on, go put out the fire." Ryan was not alarmed, but only gave an order, and a few of his servants walked out. Ruizo hurriedly clapped his hands, "You don't have to be hindered by this little thing, everything continues, Song Jun, please continue to jump." ”
Before his words fell, there was already a rush of chaotic footsteps outside, and Ryan frowned, "Even if it is water, it is not used for so many people, it is really a group of rice buckets." Come on, close the door, don't let them disturb you! ”
The two attendants walked to the door and were about to close the door of the hall, Yang Chengzu left the table and got up, shouting "Wait, the situation is not ......"
Before his words fell, another loud bang came, and this time everyone could hear it, and it was not thunder. Instead, a huge log slammed into the door, and the two attendants who closed the door fell backwards crookedly, and the door was separated from the left and right, and a man wearing a vermilion armor and holding a sword walked in first, and behind him, there was a snow-bright sword light, and a black human head.
"Zong Shi Qiandao? Who told you to take the knife, you look like this, are you going to rebel? ”
Ruizo Luanoka took the lead and started the case. Zong Shi's humble gaze only stayed on him for less than a second, and then he pointed forward with his blade, "Move!" ”
The wine table flew up, the cups and plates were all over the sky, and the Ouchi retainer at the second seat overturned the table violently, and before Rizzo could react, a wooden stool had already fallen on his head, and the next moment Ruizo fell down in a scream. His subordinates have just been together, and Zong Shiqiandao's subordinates have already been killed. The sword is shining and the blood is flowing!
The people attending the banquet today, regardless of civil or military, basically did not bring weapons, and the Japanese came in full armor and had almost no power to resist. The members of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, the Japanese envoys, and even Yu Legong and a few Ningbo Mingji who came to accompany the banquet were all screaming in fright and couldn't avoid it. The Ouchi family didn't care about the identity of the other party, they just carried a knife, and walked from the door to the chief step by step, killing the general in an orderly manner. Anything you see, you can kill, white blades everywhere, not a single one is left.
