Chapter 774: There is a honey in the mouth and a sword in the belly
Xu Wenjue had tried his best to restrain his anger and explained to Xu Yongji with what he thought was the best attitude. But what the little grandfather didn't expect was that the eldest son of the Xu family, who had followed his ass like a dog, actually stood up at this moment, and his face turned cold, "Little grandfather, is this going to be iron-hearted?" ”
A question completely shattered Xu Wenjue's reason, and at this time, he couldn't care about anything, and let his anger be completely vented. In just a moment, he hissed and laughed, "How? You are the son of a businessman, and you still robbed my Xu family's assets to pay off the debts? At this point, what do you and I have to say? I'll leave you some decency and won't let you go out through the main entrance! ”
Xu Yongji was stunned, what do you mean to leave me some dignity and not go out from the main entrance? However, he had already made up his mind, all the words were according to his father's arrangement, and Xu Wenjue's stupid reaction was also the same as his father expected, at this time, he didn't think much about it, and rushed to say the next prepared words.
"Killing people to pay for their lives, repaying debts, it is a matter of course, the little grandfather should not think that he can do whatever he wants with the power of Wei Guogong, the current situation is not what it used to be, if the little grandfather knows each other, he will take out the 30,000 taels of silver owed to my Xu family, and we will clear the silver deed, otherwise it will ......" Xu Yongji sneered twice, and his tone changed again. "I know that the little grandfather can't come up with so much money in a hurry, so I'll give you three days." Three days later, at this time, if you can't see the silver, don't blame Xu for turning his face and being ruthless! ”
"Someone, someone! Fork this bastard out of me and throw it out into the street! ”
Xu Wenjue has been holding a golden spoon since he was born, who is not polite and respectful when he sees him, how can he ever be subjected to such a run, not to mention Xu Yongji, the son of a businessman who used to follow him like a dog, how can she stand it? Immediately he jumped like thunder, and he didn't care about the wound that hurt his leg, so he got down and stood up in excitement, the wound was torn by the fierce action, and the blood gushed out again, dyeing the white silk shirt red.
How could the maidservant next to her ever see such a posture? They were all frightened, screaming and crying. As Xu Wenjue's words landed, the door of the outhouse was pushed open, and two family members rushed in. Xu Wenjue pointed at Xu Yongji and said angrily: "Throw this dog-like thing out to Lao Tzu, throw it on the street, and let him eat!" ”
The family members all knew Xu Yongji's details, but they were a little surprised that their little grandfather's attitude towards this person had changed so much, but they were all loyal family children, and they didn't hesitate for a moment, forcibly forked Xu Yongji left and right, and went out.
Xu Yongji obviously didn't expect Xu Wenjue to say that he would do it, but his father hadn't explained how to deal with it in this section, and he also tore his face in a hurry.
"Xu Wenjue, Lao Tzu will make you regret it, you are so kind to Lao Tzu!"
Xu Wenjue laughed angrily, let the two family members stop, he jumped and injured his leg, limped to Xu Yongji, and slapped Xu Yongji's face twice with his well-maintained right hand.
"Dare to call yourself Lao Tzu with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu also put his words here, just wait to see how you make Lao Tzu regret it! But Lao Tzu can be sure of one thing, and immediately you will regret being so presumptuous in front of Lao Tzu! ”
Xu Wenjue's eyes suddenly shot a playful and hateful gaze, which made Xu Yongji shiver for no reason as if he had been stung by a grass bee.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"What? Let you eat! Xu Wenjue replied angrily, and at the same time waved his hand to the family, "Drag it down, find the generalissimo's yellow and white things for him to taste fresh, and he will have a long memory in the future, knowing who he is talking to!" ”
Xu Yongji was dumbfounded for a moment, he never imagined that Xu Wenjue, a loser, would be able to come up with such a shady idea and let himself eat shit! He knew that in the current situation, he was not the opponent of these two families at all, and he secretly hated his father for boasting that he was like a god, so he didn't expect Xu Wenjue to behave like this, which made him want to let himself eat shit.
As soon as he thought of this, where could he still care about his face, and the hard words before, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The little grandfather has gone around the villain this time!" The villain knows that he is wrong, the villain should die, the villain deserves to die. But in the blink of an eye, Xu Yongji was already in tears, raised his hands and pumped his cheeks fiercely, and his face turned red in a few strokes, obviously exerting his strength. This is also a helpless thing, if you eat shit in the Wei Mansion today, and it will spread in the future, what face will you have to gain a foothold in Nanjing? As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and those who know the times are junjie, and when Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, didn't he endure the humiliation of his crotch?
Bear with you for a while, and sooner or later I will have the opportunity to repay you fool!
Seeing Xu Yongji's embarrassed appearance with a handful of snot and tears, Xu Wenjue's evil breath in his heart was half out, he was not such a shady and mean person in the first place, and letting Xu Yongji eat shit was also a decision under anger, and now seeing that he was taught a lesson and recognized his identity, he dispelled the idea of letting him eat shit.
But Xu Wenjue's perception of this Xu Yongji is even worse, this person's attitude changes so quickly, suddenly deferential, suddenly rebellious, and groveling in an instant, this is a complete villain's behavior, after glancing at him in disgust, like disgusted with a piece of shit, he waved his hand to the family who crossed Xu Wenjue. "Fork it out, throw it directly on the street, and when you see this person come to the door in the future, you will go out directly!"
Xu Yongji was forked out with a thousand thanks, Xu Wenjue felt the pain in his leg, and when he saw that the middle coat on his calf had been dyed red, he fainted with a sad scream.
The maidservant who had just calmed down shouted again, "Little grandfather, little grandfather......"
Xu Yongji lay in the alley behind the Duke of Wei's mansion for half an hour and couldn't straighten up, the two family members greeted him hard enough, and he almost fell apart all over his bones, he arched his butt first, trying to support himself. At this time, it happened that two horned boys turned into the alley, and when they saw Xu Yongji's dog-like appearance, they all laughed and giggled at him for pretending to be a dog on the ground.
Although the son of this merchant is not prominent, he was always born in a wealthy family, and he was pampered since he was a child. But another thought, the people living around the Duke of Wei are rich and noble, looking at these two general horn boys with silk clothes and golden locks, and holding a round and small jade Ruyi in their hands, it must be which playful little boy secretly ran out, or don't make trouble for his Xu family.
So, Xu Yongji endured physical pain and mental pain and limped out of the Wei Mansion.
On the 10th day of the eighth lunar month, Wei Guogong finally returned to Nanjing, and he was greeted by an unprecedented welcome ceremony. It is still outside the treasure gate, and all the incumbent officials in Nanjing from the seventh grade or above have gone out of the suburbs to greet them. It is shaped like a general who welcomes a triumphant return.
Li Xin, as a super-grade marquis who has military power in the city, is naturally listed in the main position, and he is extremely uncomfortable tidying up the dresses on his body, he is very unsuitable for this kind of cumbersome and fragmentary ancient dresses, relatively speaking, even the regular clothes that he has not been used to are much more comfortable than them. This uncomfortable feeling reminded him of the bullfighting suit he wore outside the Chengtian Gate in Daming Beijing two years ago, and the parade of Song Kai to offer prisoners.
On Li Xin's left hand side is Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Nanjing Household Department, and on the right hand side is Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the rest of the officials of the various ministries stand for a while, and then there are those officials who are idle and have no functions. Under the crowd, the gorgeous costumes gather together, and it is also spectacular from a distance, which is also a rare scene in Nanjing City for many years.
Seeing that the time was past noon, the sun in the sky was becoming more and more poisonous, and the strength of the autumn tiger made many officials who were well-dressed and well-fed on weekdays unbearable.
"Didn't you say that you could rush to Jubaomen at noon, now it's been half an hour, and there is not even half a ghost shadow, so we can't keep waiting so stupidly!"
"That's it, seeing that it's autumn, the official affairs in the yamen are so busy that they hit the back of their heads, where is there so much effort to delay here!"
The officials below had every sentence, but their words were not very respectful, if it were not for the initiation and organization of this grand welcome ceremony, how could they have the leisure to greet this defeated general who almost put the city of Nanjing in danger!
The reality is so ruthless, no matter how much prestige a person has, a critical failure can ruin the reputation he has accumulated in his life. The situation faced by Wei Guogong is generally like this, coupled with Li Xin, a powerful opponent who is invincible in a hundred battles, many people consciously choose sides, which makes Wei Guogong lose the hearts of the people in Nanjing.
Gao Hongtu, who was standing next to Li Xin, was glad that he had chosen the right side, thanks to his wife's reminder that day, he had strengthened his mind, and now it seems that the Marquis of Zhenyu is by no means a mediocre person, and he can treat his opponent with courtesy, and this mind and insight are convincing. Although it is a little too contrived, he has been through the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, how can he not understand that often behind this high posture is a vicious heart.
Just like Li Linfu, the traitor of Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty, with honey in his mouth and a sword in his belly, don't look at the Marquis of Zhenyu showing a respectful gesture to Wei Guogong, he dares to assert that behind this must be a sharp Yanling knife that has been sharpened a long time ago.
The higher you hold people, the worse they fall, and at the same time clear the suspicion of their colleagues, it is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. This kind of wrist, where can a vulgar martial artist think of, after thinking about it, he looked at Li Xin, who was smiling and looking into the distance, and strengthened this idea.
