Chapter Eighty-Six: The Crowd is Overwhelming
Just when Liu Bao was worried about how to deal with King Yu and Lu Bing at the same time, there were other people who were also facing their own troubles.
In Huanghuafang, there is a small hotel at the left turn entrance across three alleys from the Hutong of the company. The store's faΓ§ade is not surprisingly decorated, and even the handwriting on the plaque is blurry and difficult to read. Ordinary people passing by here are afraid that they will not take a second look.
But if you are an old man who has lived in Beijing for several lifetimes, there are many people who know the Tao of Lu, and if you want to eat authentic mutton face meat and drink authentic mutton haggis soup, you have to come here. And you have to come early, the boss here Ma Sanye has a big temper and a stubborn temperament, and as soon as the day is settled, he will not entertain guests, and he will admit bad luck if he comes late.
Today, however, it seems to be a little different. Outside the Ma family's shop, there were a few more men in short clothes who were patrolling outside the door. If anyone makes do with the door, one of them must come and stop them, and they will blow them away with a few words. If you catch up with the temperamental or hypocritical, those masters don't talk nonsense, just lift their clothes, revealing the waist card inside, and the four big characters of Beizhen Fusi on it are enough to scare away the hypocritical gluttonies.
If anyone looks closely, they can be scared of their souls, it turns out that these people are all dignified five-grade brocade clothes. Although it is said that there are many officials in Beijing and more officials in Jinyi, but if you can let thousands of dignified households serve as guards outside, what is the identity of the master inside?
Not to mention passers-by, the third master of the horse is the shopkeeper, and his temper is not big today. In the past, I sat behind the counter and took a look, but now I have a smile on my face, and I personally serve him, go around the table, serve the soft and rotten mush, full of flavorful mutton face meat, and then put on my own special soju, for fear that these masters who eat wine will not be satisfied. Just kidding, if you really offend these people, it won't be whether the store will open or not, but whether your life will be guaranteed.
At this moment, there are already dozens of men standing in this small hotel. If you have the audacity to take a look at their waist cards, you will know that these are all middle and senior cadres of Jinyiwei. The smallest of them is also a thousand households, and there are several pacification envoys and commanders.
And the person sitting in the middle, his face is like a coal, and his tiger eyes are godly, he is not the No. 1 spy leader of the Ming Dynasty today, who is Lu Bing, the governor of Jinyi?
Sitting with him was a young man, a face was originally handsome and extraordinary, but at this time, the originally white face was already red like Guan Gong, and his eyes were a little unable to open, occasionally struggling to open his eyelids, and a pair of pupils were also scattered and godless. His hands were dancing wildly, and he had a mouth with red lips, but now he was crooked, his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't even pronounce the words clearly:
"No, Uncle Lu, the little nephew is really ...... No...... ......Before the words fell, the person was already planted on the table, and his handsome face was thrown into the sheep-faced meat plate, and he didn't know who was going to do it.
This drunk handsome son is none other than the second grandson of Yan Song, the first assistant of the current court, the second young man of the Yan family. And sitting at the two tables in the corner of the wall, there are Yan Hu's personal attendant Yan Fu, as well as several Yan family teachers. It's just that these people don't look very good-looking, and occasionally use chopsticks to pick up a piece of fragrant mutton face meat and stuff it into their mouths, but they just chew and swallow it mechanically. To make the gluttons who are blocked out by the brocade guards at the moment look like they are going to scold these grandsons for tyrannical destruction.
But they are not to blame. Anyone, if there are more than a dozen tall and strong Jinyi Qianhu around you, staring at you, watching you drink wine and eat meat, and don't let go of every mouthful of movements, then your face will not be able to see anywhere, and you will not know the taste of what you eat.
It turned out that Yan Hu, a playboy, said obscene words when he was trying the case the night before, but he actually revealed his true feelings. This Yan Hu's confusion on the Fengyue field is more "mature" than his brother Yan Hong. Mo Huaigu married Xue Yanniang, although he was young at the time, but since he heard about it, he was also envious, jealous and hateful.
In particular, Yan Hu also had a relationship with some prodigals who were half a generation older than him, and many of them had seen the charm of Xue Yanniang in Nanjing, and they were all drooling when they said it, and Yan Hu was even more confused. He coveted Mo's beautiful concubine for not a day or two, but he just had no chance.
After Mo Huaigu was captured, Yan Hu, a pervert, immediately felt that this opportunity had finally come. He paid attention to the news early, and as soon as Mo Mansion raided his house this morning, Yan Hu immediately sent Yan Fu to find out clearly, knowing that Mo Huaigu's wife and concubine and daughter were going to pick up guests today. Therefore, he took Yan Fu and several nursing teachers early, carrying a large sum of silver, to the Teaching Workshop Division, ready to kiss Fangze.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the alley of the Teaching Division, he saw a piece of brocade clothes in front of him, and it was Lu Bing with dozens of brocade captains who cut off the road and stopped the horse's head. Next, Yan Hu was half-invited and half-carried to this tavern.
In Yan Hu's heart, Lu Bing is already his future father-in-law. Being caught by the future father-in-law to go to the Jiaofang Division** is not a glorious thing after all, and I have a little bit of weakness in my heart. Not to mention looking at this situation, Lu Bing has brought dozens of official schools, and the pomp is not small. He also muttered a little in his heart, isn't there an assassin who slipped through the net in the Sect Division today? I don't want to rush over and die.
Of course, Mo Huaigu is Lu Bing's favorite general, and Yan Hu knows this matter. It's just that according to his brain and conduct, he probably couldn't imagine that Lu Bing would do so much in order to prevent Mo Huaigu's wife and daughter from falling into a sea of suffering.
So I entered the shop of the third master of Ma's house, and the prospective Weng and his son-in-law didn't say much, just you and I drank one cup at a time. Lu Bing just ate the meat unhurriedly, occasionally taking a sip of wine, but kept letting Yan Hu drink. Yan Hu, the young master, has always bullied the weak and feared the hard, how dare Lu Bing's toast not drink? It can only be a glass of wine. The soju brewed by the shopkeeper is not low, and Yan Hu was poured a lot by Lu Bing in one go. It didn't take long for him to resist the lack of resistance after all, and he was drunk on the spot.
Lu Bing saw that he had successfully put down the second young man of the Yan family, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, swallowed a piece of mutton in his mouth, turned his head to Yan Fu over there and said, "Come here, your second young master is drunk." Hurry up and send him back to his house, there is a curfew these days and nights, and it is quite strict, and he will not be able to return to his house when it is late. β
Yan blessed them, and they were also eager to leave this place as soon as possible. The eyes of the brocade guards looked at them, how they looked like they were going to eat people. Think about it, although Mo Huaigu is bold and reckless, he is always a hereditary brocade guard, and he has the righteousness of his comrades with them. The colleagues of these people have just been raided, and their young master has rushed to prostitute his wife and concubine.
So as soon as they heard Lu Bing's words, everyone in the Yan Mansion hurriedly went to pick up the young master who was like a dead pig, and left the small shop as if they had escaped.
Lu Bing looked at their backs, stroked his beard, and smiled silently. At this time, a Qianhu in brocade clothes suddenly walked in and muttered a few words in Lu Bing's ear. When Lu Bing heard this, he frowned and said, "Yuwang Chitose? He also came. Now things are a bit tricky. β
The brocade-clothed guard Qianhu said: "King Yu is just a hollow prince, and he is still afraid of him with your wrist?" β
Lu Bingdao: "King Yu is the son of today, although he has no power now, how can he be underestimated?" And the matter of the teaching department, it is not possible to be on the table, but it is not beautiful for me to come forward. However, we can't deal with King Yu, so it's appropriate to leave it to Yan Hong to deal with. As he spoke, Lu Bing smiled again.
At this moment, in the Teaching Workshop Division, Yan Hong and his brother-in-law Hu Tianyou had already entered inside, trying to find a place to sit. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting loudly: "Yan Dashao has always been good?" "The sound is like a bell, full of energy.
Yan Hong looked for a sound, but saw a big man six feet away, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, walking towards him. When he came to the front, the man turned over and bowed, kowtowed, and said: "The little Shi Dasheng, Jiajing has been in the shadow for 17 years, and now he is in charge of the 100 households in Huanghuafang, and he is knocking on the eldest son of Yan." β
Yan Hong couldn't help but be stunned. Hey? Which one is this singing? Why is this guy so polite?
You must know that although it is said that the hundred households in brocade clothes are not big officials, especially in Beijing, there are thousands of households walking all over the streets, and hundreds of households are not as good as dogs. But this Shi Dasheng is not an ordinary shadow sealing official, but a hundred households who are actually in charge, and there are really a hundred elite brocade clothes official schools under his command, and they are in charge of a large area of these streets and alleys, which is not simple.
The second said that this Shi Dasheng is a direct official of Jinyiwei and has no subordinate to himself. Yan Hong, the seven-grade grace in the shade, to be honest, is completely the honorary title of the son of the noble, and has no real power at all.
Not to mention, there is no need for the other party to come over to report his resume, and he actually bows his head, this is obviously a gift for the lower official to see the upper official, how can he afford it? This time, Yan Hong was a little confused. Fortunately, although confused, the instinct of the insurance salesman brought before the crossing is still there, that is, don't be less polite and polite to people.
Therefore, Yan Hong hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Shi Baihu, and said in his mouth, "Baizai, please get up." Shi Dasheng stood up, Yan Hong looked carefully, but saw that Shi Dasheng had a black face, thick eyebrows and broad eyes, a nose turned upside down, a big mouth and thick lips, a chin that covered the sky, and a beard like a steel needle. If you hadn't reported your resume in advance, you would have believed this virtue if you said it was a thief or a gangster.
Then, dozens of people came behind Shi Dasheng one after another, saluting Yan Hong one by one. reported the name, but it was a brocade under the jurisdiction of 100 households in Huanghuafang. Including two test hundred households, two general flags, ten small flags, and even dozens of captains and wrestlers, Yan Hong is protected in it like the stars holding the moon.
Yan Hong is not stupid, and when these dozens of people have seen it, he will basically understand what is going on by this time. Most likely, this was arranged by Lu Binglu's big spy to give himself a strong momentum.
Yes, Xue Yanniang, a beautiful woman with a far-reaching reputation, I don't know how many wild bees and butterflies are staring at tonight. Among them, there are many children of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, or nobles with backgrounds, and he is a grandson of the first assistant, and there is no guarantee that he will only win or lose.
Now, with the support of these brocade guards of the head snakes, Yan Hong's courage immediately strengthened a lot. Sitting in the middle of this group of big-shouldered and round-waisted thugs, Yan Hong couldn't help but be cheap, looking left and right triumphantly, and even wished that a few people would fight with him, and come to a certain scene of slapping his face in a novel in his previous life, and then slap his face, it is best to fight, so that we can see the ability of the Jinyi guards to fight!
