Chapter 155: The City Advocates Silence
I knew that Zhang Mo was a literati, so it was okay to send a pen casually, why did Zhang Wen let him send a pair of jade chopsticks? Ye Sheng was puzzled, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the door of Zhang Mo's mansion! There is an endless stream of people at the door, and they are all visiting guests.
The housekeeper and the doorman stood inside the door and greeted each other with smiling faces, and invited all the people with heads and faces in Futian into the house. "Oops, County Magistrate Zhang is here!" The housekeeper in his thirties hurriedly walked up and handed over his hand, "I am very relieved to hear that Zhang County has recovered from his illness, please come in!" ”
"Steward Zhang is polite!" Zhang Wen smiled and clenched his fists, and then led Ye Sheng into the house. Zhang Mo's mansion is not as delicate and elegant as Dugu Aoxue, and if the huge courtyard is not overcrowded, it will look very empty. It seems that this Zhang Mo is not a person who values power and wealth!
The courtyard was already full of five tables of banquets, Ye Sheng didn't see Futian City, but saw a lot of people with extraordinary instruments and big bellies, and when he looked at it, he knew that they were all wealthy and noble, with heads and faces. "Lord Zhang, please be in the house! The lord of the castle is waiting for you! Someone hurriedly stepped forward to greet Zhang Wen, glanced at Ye Sheng, and added with a smile, "Please go in with your friends!" ”
In order to save Zhang Wen's face, Ye Sheng had the opportunity to enter the house for dinner. The hall is spacious, but there is only one banquet, the young man sitting in the first place has a green shirt, a crown and a hat on his head, his facial features are delicate and indifferent, although his eyes are small, but his face is angular and angular, quiet and elegant, it seems that Zhang Mo is correct!
Zhang Wen smiled at Zhang Mo, "I don't see the city lord for half a month, where is the city lord going to play in the mountains and rivers again?" "Haha! Those who know me are Lord Zhang! Zhang Mo got up, and Wen Jing arched his hand and said, "I just came back from a trip to the capital!" I saw the world of the capital and ate the famous snacks in the capital! ”
"The city lord is idle and elegant, which is enviable!" "The city lord is worthy of being a scholar, and he is completely different from those city lords who only know how to fight and kill! Poetic! The table was full of praise, Ye Sheng glanced around, there were people who didn't know each other, pouting sarcastically, he followed behind Zhang Wen without saying a word, just wanted to be a low-key person.
"Lord Zhang, please take a seat!" Zhang Mo waved his hand and immediately pointed to the second empty seat on the left-hand side, "Lord Zhang is for the country and the people, take care of Futian in an orderly manner, before and after the saddle, it's time to drink a sip of wine and rest!" "Zhang Wen is in the upper seat, Ye Sheng will definitely not follow. Ye Sheng, who was self-aware, had just sat down on the bench below, and saw Zhang Wen introduce himself with a smile.
"City Lord, introduce one person to you, this is my Zhang Wen's brother, called Liu Bo, a native of Longgang!" Zhang Wen's expression was calm, and his eyes were sincere. Zhang Mo knew that Ye Sheng's kid was not Zhang Wen's friend of wine and meat, but a sincere brother. Zhang Mo looked at Ye Sheng dumbly, nodded and smiled, "Liu Shaoxia is a talent, and at first glance he is a veteran of the rivers and lakes!" ”
"Longgang? There are a lot of people and thieves there! The uncle in a satin robe next to him shook his head disappreciatively, "County Magistrate Zhang wants to make friends, but he wants to find out the way!" If you make a robber a friend, it will be a loss of face and reputation! ”
Ye Sheng frowned, when I first arrived, you began to verbally attack me, could it be that someone who didn't like Zhang Wen was like? Ye Shengmo was silent, and wanted to skip this topic, but he didn't expect that the echoes at the banquet came and went, endlessly. "yes, yes! I had a batch of tens of thousands of taels before, and when I passed by Longgang Guandao, I was robbed by bandits! "Not really! My old friend Niu Fugui everyone knows, I heard that when I went out, I was hacked to death by the bandits in Longgang! "Longgang people even kill their own father, there is no good thing!"
The cynicism continued to enter his ears, Ye Sheng sat there expressionless, although he was not from Longgang, but it was a bit too much to exclude himself like this, right? Zhang Wen looked displeased, and said with a black face, "Boss Li, you ......" "Hey, everyone! Zhang Mo opened his mouth, stretched out his hand to block and interjected, "Since you have come to my Futian, you are my friend Zhang Mo!" Although Longgang is chaotic, not everyone is a thief, everyone must not be like this! ”
As Zhang Mo opened his mouth to warm up, several wealthy bosses nodded one after another, "What the city lord said is true." "That Longgang is indeed inferior to Futian! But the city lord said so, so we won't mention it! Several bosses smiled and catered to each other, Ye Sheng was strange, and glanced down at Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mowen is quiet and elegant, and at first glance he is a delicate person who reads. He has a blue jade belt wrapped around his body, proving that his martial arts are only one level higher than himself, and he is still a city lord who has done nothing for Futian and has not seen anyone all day, why, these bosses are more willing to talk to Zhang Mo than Zhang Wen, the county magistrate? Weird, weird! What is the background of this Zhang Mo?
"Of course we don't dare to offend Lord Zhang's brother! Look at this Liu Shaoxia, with a dark complexion, weather-beaten, and scars on his face, he looks like a hero who has killed many people! "Boss Wang's words are not right, the killers are not necessarily heroes, they may also be bandits!" That's too much! You forgot that this young man and County Magistrate Zhang are brothers! They're definitely a raccoon dog! Ha ha! The crowd laughed and mocked. Seeing that you were still pestering Liu Bo, Zhang Wen's face was cold, and he clenched his fists and said, "You can't help but take me Zhang Wen too seriously, right?" Taunt me can! But my brother has not offended you! Don't you think it's too much! ”
"Master Zhang's martial arts are world-renowned, wise and martial, how dare we offend you!" "That's it, I heard that Master Zhang was lying in bed and was about to die, why did he suddenly live again?" "Zhang Wenren offered a reward of 50,000 taels for medical treatment to beg the doctor to see a doctor, as long as he has money, he will definitely be able to see any disease!"
Ye Sheng sat there quietly with a frown, but a group of big men chirped crookedly, yin and yang weirdly talked like a girl, and this good table of wine and food was stinky. Ye Sheng saw Zhang Wenqi's flush, and saw that although Zhang Mo was embarrassed, he couldn't open his mouth to dissuade him, so he got up and said, "I have heard for a long time that the lord of Futian City is a high eight buckets, a talent, Liu Bo met today, but he hasn't been able to ask for a poem or two, but he smells the smell of Futian!" ”
Zhang Mo looked dumbfounded but silent, but Boss Li next to him couldn't sit still, and snorted coldly, "Nonsense! There are people who sweep the streets in Futian day and night, and this is the city lord's mansion, where does the smell come from! Ye Sheng smiled at Boss Li's big-bellied, fat-headed, big-eared appearance, and said, "After I finished talking just now, there was no smell, who knew that as soon as Boss Li opened his mouth, it would stink, like a septic tank." ”
Several people at the table were heartless people, and when they saw Ye Sheng mocking Boss Li, they all burst into laughter, Zhang Wen couldn't help but bow his head and eat a mouthful of food, Zhang Mo also stood by and waited without stopping, waiting with a smile, wanting to see how Ye Sheng fought with Boss Li. "You!" Boss Li slapped the table angrily, pointed at Ye Sheng, and shouted in a powerful voice, "You dare to go against me? ”
Ye Sheng's expression was cold, and he asked rhetorically, "Right?" Do you want to go against me? The magistrate of Futian County is at this table, and Brother Zhang and I are brothers! Brother Zhang is an official appointed by the imperial court, and if you go against me, you want to go against Brother Zhang! Do you want to go against the imperial court! Are you trying to rebel? ”
Ye Sheng slapped the table, drank calmly, stared at Boss Li with bright eyes, and said, "If you want to go against the imperial court!" Then it will end up with the Mingjiao anti-party! It is to ask for the crime and beheading! "Boss Li is just a businessman, how can he go against the 'imperial court', he was so frightened that his legs were weak and sat back on the stool, Boss Li looked flustered, "You...... You have no evidence! Don't spew blood! I'm just an ordinary businessman, what's the ...... How could there be a rebellion! ”
"Since you are just an ordinary businessman, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at Brother Zhang just now! Are you a senior official? Or do you think you are the emperor? Ye Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed at him, and said in a cold voice, "I know, do you want to point fingers at all the civil and military officials of the imperial court?" Want to get your hands on the country? It turns out that you want to seek a usurpation! Come on, drag it out and cut it down! ”
As Ye Sheng shouted again and again, Boss Li staggered and trembled, his face turned pale, although Emperor Cao Chao was not a tyrant, he was a faint monarch. Now that the anti-religious party is being traced and strictly enforced, Emperor Wen of Tang can't hear the word 'rebellion' at all, and once there is a twist and turn about 'rebellion', Emperor Wen of Tang will rather kill by mistake than let go! If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it won't be long before the innocent Boss Li himself will be beheaded by the Six Doors!
"You...... You don't want that! Boss Li was so frightened that his limbs were cold, his hands and feet were sweating, Ye Sheng looked at his indignant theory just now and shocked everyone, Ye Sheng smiled, like a spring breeze and sat down kindly, "It's just a joke!" However, Boss Li, County Magistrate Zhang is recently tracking down the Mingjiao rebel party lurking in Futian, don't you accidentally fall into the six doors! Otherwise, the head moves! ”
Ye Sheng looked around at several bosses, and several bosses only felt that their necks were shiny and they were cold. This Liu Bo is naked threats and slander! Seeing that everyone was honest with jealousy on their faces, Zhang Wenchang sighed, he was not good at words, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed by these guys on weekdays, but now that Ye Sheng was present, he Zhang Wenneng could drink peacefully.
It's hard to reconcile the mouths, let alone a dozen mouths on a table of banquets. Zhang Mo smiled and hurriedly warmed up the scene, "Everyone knows that County Magistrate Zhang is selfless and impartial, I believe that a good person will not be caught by mistake, and those who oppose the Ming Sect will definitely be brought to justice!" ”
As soon as Zhang Mo's words fell, Ye Sheng smiled and said curiously, "I don't know, what does City Lord Zhang know about the anti-party of the Ming Sect's Futian rudder?" Ye Sheng stared at Zhang Mo directly, at first he thought that Zhang Mo would collude with Zhai Zhi, but now it doesn't seem like it. Mingjiao Chongwu, Zhang Mo is a Wenren, although he is a city lord, but he is not of great help to Mingjiao! I'm afraid that Zhai Zhi, the rudder master, won't look at Zhang Mo more, right? Could it be that today's banquet was a coincidence, and Zhai Zhi was just pushing the boat and killing people?
