Chapter 020: The Way of the Villain
At this moment, Ding Hao, who rushed into the town to arrange food and lodging, rushed to hear the news, and when he saw Ding Yuluo surrounded by a group of prisoners, he immediately broke in with a loud shout, stretched out his hand, and stopped Ding Yuluo behind him. He shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
Seeing Ding Hao stopped in front of Ding Yuluo, he looked like six or seven grades, but his clothes were vulgar and ordinary, and he suddenly smiled with a gloomy face: "Which grasshopper did you kid pop out of the crack in the stone?" Could it be that this little lady is a good friend? Little lady, I don't think you have a good eye. ”
Ding Yuluo's face turned even redder when she heard this, if Ding Hao hadn't stopped in front of her, this whip would have been pulled down recklessly, but Ding Hao was not annoyed at all, he was no better than a big lady like Ding Yuluo, although Ding Yuluo said that he had traveled south and north, and the three major cities in the border passes had been there, but every trip was properly arranged by his family, and she didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, let alone have to deal with some cats and dogs.
And Ding Hao is different, he used to deal with all the bulls and horses, and he had a deep understanding of the sentence "The king of Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult", how many officials should take care of their identities, and they generally don't do things that are too out of line, but the little people are different. Many things are not done well, but they are bad in the hands of those small people who do things in front of the big people, and often for the sake of trivial things.
Those who are rigid but not tough will not be able to achieve great things. People can't be unprincipled, and they can't be too principled, and now the biggest difficulty of the Ding family is to transport the military rations to Guangyuan, and this is the time when they need to pick up their tails and be a man.
So after listening to the ridicule of the poor man, Ding Hao was not angry or angry, and with a faint smile, he already had a plan in his heart, he took a step forward, looked at the sky with his eyes, and said arrogantly: "It's just a deacon of the Ding family, it's really nothing." But it's not for you people to be humiliated at will. The old man of the Ding family is one of the best figures in the entire Bazhou City, and the prefect is also a frequent guest, who is your surname, what kind of person is it, and you dare to stop my Ding family's grain truck? ”
The duke didn't know what the Bazhou Ding family was, but when he heard what he said, he was also a little surprised, and he couldn't figure out how big they were for a while, so he was a little timid, but in front of so many brothers and prisoners, he put down his face again. Thinking that Bazhou and this place are still separated by a county, and they do not belong to each other, the arrogance of the prince rose, and he sneered: "So what? Master Ben's errand is very important, and now your Ding family has injured our people and hit our car, this lawsuit is to go to the Jinluan Palace, and this master also occupies a reason, I'm afraid you won't succeed? Bring out the prefect of Bazhou to press me, you ask me my name, and I will tell you, this old man will not change his name, sit or change his surname, you can hear me clearly, Zhao Jiabao, the head of the shallow prison and prison, is me, can you bite my bird? ”
Ding Hao is well versed in the psychology of these foxes and fake tigers, and first pretended to be arrogant to suppress his arrogant atmosphere, if he retreated in the face of difficulties, it would be a hundred times. If he cares about his bad face and refuses to give up, he will also have the thought of calming things down in his heart, and his future will be usable.
Now when he saw that this Zhao Jiabao really had some stubble, Ding Hao suddenly showed a look of surprise and exclaimed in surprise: "What, you...... Are you Brother Zhao Jiabao Zhao? ”
That Zhao Jiabao was stunned by his appearance, and the scoundrel on his face was also accepted, and he hesitated: "You...... Do you recognize me? ”
"Long admiration of the name, long admiration of the name, hahaha......" Ding Hao walked to his side with a surprised face, Zhao Jiabao Zhao Dutou was still stunned, Ding Hao had affectionately grabbed his shoulders and walked to a small hotel next to him: "Haha, Brother Zhao, you said that this matter is troublesome, let's not wash the Dragon King Temple in the big water, and the family doesn't recognize the family." ”
Zhao Jiabao stammered: "Uh......, this brother ...... Do we know each other? ”
Ding Hao entered the tavern, called someone to bring a few side dishes, a pot of water and wine, pressed Zhao Jiabao to his seat, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhao, you don't know me, do you?" ”
"Aang!"
"But I know you, the shallow mouth prison is under the jurisdiction of Feixiang County, the county lieutenant of Feixiang, hehehe...... Hahaha......"
Zhao Jiabao's asshole tightened, and he quickly stood up, holding his cheek and said, "You ...... Are you a relative of the Takeshi of this county? ”
Ding Hao hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, this Lord Wu, ......, Lord Zhao Jie, the lieutenant of Linqing County, a neighboring county, have you heard of it, oh, haven't you heard of it?" No, no, Mo County Lieutenant has returned to his hometown, now Linqing County Lieutenant's surname is Zhao Mingjie, Zhao Lord and Zai have always been brothers, a few days ago, they also drank at the same table, the younger brother said at the banquet that he wanted to send food to Guangyuan, and Lord Zhao also specially mentioned the Wu County Lieutenant of Gui County, saying that they were friends with each other, and if I had anything, I could ask the Wu County Lieutenant to take care of one or two. ”
Ding Hao said: "Although Lord Zhao is newly appointed, but because of his close relationship with the county lieutenant of Wu, he is familiar with the characters of Feixiang, and the name of Brother Zhao was also mentioned during the banquet, saying that Brother Zhao manages the shallow prison, and Feixiang Xiaoxiao heard the wind and escaped, which is a hero, but it is a pity that he does not have such a capable brother under his command, which is a pity for a while." It's good to make friends with heroes in Xia Pingsheng, and when I heard Lord Zhao respect you Brother Zhao so much, I can't help but look up to the mountains, and my heart yearns for it, you see, no, it's only a few days of hard work, and my wish has come true, and I finally met Brother Zhao. ”
"Oh...... Oh oh......" Zhao Jiabao squeezed out a smile and smiled at him, and suddenly his blackmail object became his good friend and admirer, and Zhao Jiabao couldn't adapt to his new identity for a while.
Ding Yuluo, a group of deacons, and the messengers and prisoners of the shallow prison stood side by side outside, looking at the two people in the tavern in confusion pushing glasses and changing lamps, looking like the two brothers were a good family, if they didn't know that Ding Hao had never left the Ding family compound in his life, they really thought that these two people were long-lost brothers.
Ding Hao filled a glass of wine for Zhao Jiabao, and said with a smile: "Brother is sending food to the Guangyuan army this time, if the food is sent late, the military will not be able to afford it, otherwise, I want to be here with Brother Zhao for a few days." Next time, next time I have a chance, my brother will have a good banquet for Brother Zhao, why can't I have a banquet in such a shabby place. ”
He glanced outside, looked at the few messengers with swords, and asked Zhao Jiabao: "Brother Zhao, those messengers with knives are also fast catchers who have been in regular service, right?" ”
The term "regular service" was still heard from the county lieutenant Zhao when he was in Qingshui Town, and now he is learning and using it, which shows that he is indeed familiar with the affairs in the yamen. The regular service of the economic system refers to the arrest of the imperial court with a quota of establishment. A county government has three classes of officials: soap class, strong class, and fast class, and there are not many real "fast catches" in it. Generally speaking, a real fast catcher must be equipped with two deputy officers, and each deputy has six or seven "helpers" and "guys".
Zhao Jiabao was fooled by Ding Hao, it sounded as if there was no one he didn't know in the entire Feixiang County, up and down, left and right, he could climb the relationship in all directions, and he almost didn't directly say that he was the guest of the Feixiang County Lord, Zhao Jiabao was trying to digest and understand what he said, and nodded subconsciously when he heard the words.
Ding Hao beckoned outward, and called in a casual voice: "Xiaoluo, come here." ”
A few people outside were in a daze, and after hearing this, they looked at each other, and no one moved anywhere.
Ding Hao shouted again: "Xiaoluo, call you, come in, Brother Zhao is a cheerful man, and he is not a man-eating tiger, what are you afraid of?" ”
Seeing that he beckoned to him, Ding Yuluo looked left and right in surprise, pointed to his nose and stammered: "He...... Who is he calling? ”
Zhen Zhu'er ate and said: "Miss, Dumb seems to be calling you ......"
Several stewards looked at Ding Yuluo one after another. Miss Ding didn't go wild, she hesitated for a moment, and actually walked over obediently, and a few stewards couldn't help but straighten their eyes.
Zhao Jiabao glanced at Ding Yuluo, who was walking slightly cowardly, and said with a lewd smile: "Who is this little lady from Brother Ding?" He asked, and his eyebrows jumped lightly.
Ding Hao said seriously: "She is a sister." ”
"Oh!" Zhao Jiabao put away his lewd face and sat upright, more serious than the land lord in the broken temple.
"Xiaoluo, this Brother Zhao is the head of Zhao mentioned by County Lieutenant Zhao. Everyone is their own people, and no one will take any of the slightest collision and misunderstanding to heart. However, Brother Zhao's men injured a few brothers, we can't make it difficult for Brother Zhao, you go and get two ingots of silver, and let Brother Zhao buy a bowl of wine for the brothers. It's just that...... I don't know if the dozens of jars of pickles that were damaged in this town have enough stock, and it's a bit tricky......"
When Zhao Jiabao heard this, he quickly stood up and said very shamefully: "Brother Ding, aren't you the one who shames me?" Everyone is my own brother, I can't afford such a thing? ”
He took a glass of wine and took a sip of it, tightened his belt, strode out of the hotel, stood under the eaves and waved his big hand, and said proudly: "What are you doing standing there these thieves with the army?" Waiting for my lord, I will invite you to a big meal, one by one, the thieves and birds who should eat 'Ciyang rice', don't you pick up all the pickles quickly, what will you eat when you get to the prison? ”
Ding Hao gave Ding Yuluo a look, Ding Yuluo understood, and still took out two silver ingots, Ding Hao grabbed it, rushed up and stuffed it into Zhao Jiabao's hand, and said: "Brother Zhao's affection, the younger brother understands it." This silver is not for the eldest brother, the Ding family's fleet of 200 carts, thousands of people, to find a place to live in the town, for a while has not found a suitable place to settle down, the younger brother has to go to the town to run around, can not personally to a few scratched errand officials to make amends, these two ingots of silver on behalf of the younger brother to a few errand officials and big brothers to apologize for the sin. ”
"Look at what you say, this ...... This...... Then my brother will suffer it. Zhao Jiabao was a little embarrassed to put up his money, and said casually: "Although this Huanshui Town is poor, it is ridiculously big. Chao Baozheng's huge mansion, with 30 acres of land behind the house, can't settle your 200 cars? ”
Ding Hao smiled bitterly: "The younger brother went to find Chao Baozheng, but he refused to borrow it, even if he rented the silver." ”
When Zhao Jiabao heard this, he looked up to the sky and sneered: "Chao Lao'er is so magnificent, you don't have to worry, my brother will borrow with you, he will borrow it, he will have to borrow it, and he will not have to borrow it, and he will not have to give him a penny." If he doesn't agree, my brother won't leave today, and these 100 people will lead him to his house, eat his mother, drink his mother, look at his mother, don't trample him to death, and won't show your brother's means! ”;
