Chapter 128: Fulfill Your Promise
"You should be the one who goes to hell! It's also you who put the oil in the pan! Dai Mingyu took the bet note and raised it in front of Dai Mingshi's eyes, "Dai plucked his hair and fulfilled his promise!" β
"What promises are delivered?" Dai Mingshi reached out to grab the evidence.
"If you want to destroy the evidence, the old man won't give it!" Dai Mingyu smiled, "Five hundred taels of silver, give it to me!" β
"Why did you give you five hundred taels of silver? You're blackmail! Dai Mingshi shouted.
"Folks, look at it, this is written clearly in black and white. Gong Laoxue, that is, the little brother in front of me, is now a general, and if I win the bet, Dai Mingshi will have to give me five hundred taels of silver. Dai Mingyu took the note and handed it to the clan elder who had testified.
The white-haired elder took the note, read it carefully, and sure enough, there was his signature on it, so he cleared his throat: "That's right, I remember this bet very clearly, Dai Mingyu lost, so he had to give Dai Mingshi blue and white porcelain." If Dai Mingshi loses, he has to give Dai Mingyu five hundred taels of silver. Then he handed the note to some literate Xiucai around him to circulate it.
"Yes. Dai Mingshi loses, so he has to give money......" The showmen nodded while watching one by one, and said so, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Waitβ" Dai Mingshi suddenly remembered something and shouted.
"Slow, slow, you just give the silver." Gong Changyu said.
"Gong Laoxue, you are just a bandit leader, and you are also worthy of being the general of my Qinghe country?" Dai Mingshi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and if he is asked to take out so much silver at once, he has to look at Gong Changyu's general seal letter to believe the fact that he really lost the bet.
"I'm not worthy of being a general, are you still worthy of being a general?" Gong Changyu asked rhetorically.
"Gong Laoxue, since you said that you are a general, then take out your general seal and show it to me! I'm willing to gamble and lose. Dai Mingshi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, because he couldn't get a seal letter from Gong Changyu.
"Okay, that's a deal. Dai Mingyu, housekeeper and Hei Dashuai, I only have to work hard for the two of you to make a trip, so go to the Zhujia compound to get the general's seal letter. Gong Changyu said, "I want to let this old guy Dai Mingshi see it." β
"General Gong, me?" Dai Mingyu pointed to himself.
"That's right. You take the path of duckweed ridge, and then go through the broken head, and then go to the bottom of the back, and then go to the pond tail, you can save a lot of time, go back quickly. Gong Changyu said with a smile.
"Yes, General." Hei Dashuai answered, and then said to Dai Mingyu, "Butler, please lead the way." β
"Okay!" Dai Mingyu was happy, thinking that the five hundred taels of silver would soon be in hand, he took the black handsome out of the courtyard of the Dai family and walked down the steps......
"As for us, we're hungry, and the fat pigs of the Dai family have grown up, so let's kill a dozen of them today and treat everyone, okay?" Gong Changyu said with a smile.
"Good!" Everyone said in unison.
"Does anyone know where the plucked pigsty is?" Gong Changyu asked.
"General, I know, I'll take you there." Dai Da Niu said with a smile.
"Da Niu, you dare-" Dai Mingyu stomped his foot and stopped Dai Da Niu.
"Outside of Dai Yuan, your people shot and injured me, and I didn't ask you for compensation, and I felt distressed when I killed your pigs. Get out of the way! Dai Da Niu pushed Dai Mingshi away.
"Brothers, folks, if you are willing to go with me to kill pigs, and those who eat pigs' trotters will follow me!" Gong Changyu pulled out his sword and said.
"Okay. Don't eat for nothing, don't eat! A strong man who looked like a butcher was the first to step forward and followed behind Gong Changyu.
"I'll go too!"
"I'll go too!" β¦β¦
Thirty or forty people stood at Gong Changyu's place all of a sudden, and under the guidance of Dai Daniu, everyone arrived in the pigsty on the west side of Dai's yard. Gong Changyu saw the dozens of big fat pigs jumping around, and couldn't help but speak: "If there is enough time, I really want to slaughter all the pigs in this pig pen!" β
"General, do you want to eat pig red?" The butcher asked.
"Of course I want to eat it!" Gong Changyu nodded.
"Then you wait a while, I'll go to the kitchen of Dai Plucking's house and get a big wooden basin to hold pig's blood." The butcher said.
"Hey, just drag the pig to the yard and kill it." Gong Changyu said with a smile, "It's not too late to drag the pig out and put it in the wooden basin." β
"Okay. General, which one will be killed first? The butcher asked.
"Let's start with the biggest one." Gong Changyu opened the door of the pigsty, jumped in, and reached out to grab the ear of the big-flowered pig. Then a man came out holding the belly of the flower pig.
The frightened big-flowered pig howled under Gong Changyu's armpit, kicked around, and tried to break free several times, but Gong Changyu grabbed it firmly, where could he escape.
"Get out of the way, everybody." Gong Changyu shouted.
"Would you like to help?" The crowd asked.
"You can go to the yard and get your stools and knives ready." Gong Changyu said with a smile.
"Okay." A few young students were the first to get out of the pigsty and run out of the yard.
"General, this pig must be more than 200 catties, and you will wrap it up alone, divine power!" Li Dayu said.
"This is nothing, in the past, King Qin Wu lifted a thousand catties of bronze, that is called innate divine power!" Gong Changyu said with a smile, "My strength is nothing compared to him." β
"General, you are too modest. If it were us, it would take five or six people to drag this big fat pig out of the yard. Li Dayu patted the head of the big-flowered pig.
"Don't touch its head, it'll bite your hand." Gong Chang was holding a fat pig and walked quickly to the yard.
"Need our help?" Li Dayu asked.
"No, I don't." Gong Changyu smiled, "It's just a pig, General Ben will let you see what a real master is." β
The two stools were already placed there, Gong Changyu straddled the stool with one foot, clamped the pig's belly with his left hand, put it sideways on the surface of the stool, and then pulled out the saber with his right hand, and slammed it at the most brittle place in the jaw of the flower pig, stabbed it in, straight to the heart, and then quickly pulled out the saber and threw it aside, and the saber was not stained with blood, and the pig's blood immediately gushed out from the killing mouth and sprayed in the large wooden basin filled with clear water.
Gong Changyu's hand speed was so fast that everyone present was stunned, and even the butcher was ashamed of himself. The big fat pig scratched wildly, howled a few times, and after a while, foaming at the mouth came out, Gong Changyu estimated that it was almost there, twisted the pig's head and turned it a few times, and then turned the pig off the stool with both hands. The pig fell to the ground with a thud, did not snort, and died of exhaustion.
"Brothers, let's start boiling water." Gong Changyu clapped his hands. So everyone rushed into the room of Dai Ming's family, found a pond pot, a water scoop, a kitchen knife, and firewood, set up a stove in the yard, and began to get busy.
"Brothers, go and drag a few more heads out to kill, I want to give the entire Dai family's fathers and villagers a full meal!" Gong Changyu crossed his hands on his waist, paced square steps, and walked in the courtyard.
"Yes, General."
So fifty or sixty men rushed to the pigsty again, dragged four or five fat pigs at once, and slaughtered them to the ground one by one. Dai Mingshi was so angry that he sat down on the bluestone slab: "Hey, suffer, suffer." β
Fireworks erupted in the courtyard, and the sound of footsteps and shouts was endless. Gong Changyu moved out a chair, sat on the chair, and leisurely instructed his subordinates to shave and disembowel the pig. Half an hour passed, and all the pork was on the table.
Looking at the thousands of catties of pork, Gong Changyu was drunk, and he asked an old lady: "Grandma, how many households are there in Daijiachang?" β
"Are you talking about the whole village, or is it our Dai family?" The old lady replied.
"Just Dai Jiabei." Gong Changyu said.
"Fifty households." The old lady said.
"Good. Then each family will divide ten catties of pork, let the patriarch count the number of people, and you will supervise each other. Gong Changyu held a butcher's knife and said to the people who ate melons, "If you get the pork, go home, don't watch the excitement here." β
So, each family got their share of the pork and dispersed. When the meat was almost shared, Dai Mingyu and Hei Dashuai also rushed back from Tangwei.
Hei Dashuai excitedly carried the seal letter, and held it in front of Gong Changyu with both hands: "General, the big seal is here, and there is also a letter of appointment, I also brought it." β
"Good." Gong Changyu opened the box, grabbed the big seal, walked up to Dai Mingshi, and shook it, "See, this is my big seal!" β
Dai Mingshi looked at the blood-red general seal, and was dumbfounded, and quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible, your seal is fake, fake!" β
"Damn, if you don't want to give silver, you have to give it!" Gong Changyu said with a dark face.
"Gong Laoxue, you killed so many pigs from me, and you still want silver, no way!" Dai Mingshi exclaimed.
"I don't want your money. Steward Dai, come here, give the note to Dai Plucking and take a look! Gong Changyu said with a smile to Dai Mingyu.
"Okay." Dai Mingyu replied loudly and ran over with the note.
Gong Changyu took the note and put it under Dai Mingshi's nose: "Old thing, see clearly, the bet you made with Mr. Dai Mingyu ...... the date."
Unexpectedly, Dai Mingshi grabbed the gambling contract, tore it to pieces, stuffed it into his mouth, and then swallowed it, sneering a few times: "Now that there is no note, what do you want?" β
I saw Dai Mingyu unhurriedly took out another note from his arms, and smiled slightly: "Dai Mingshi, I expected you to come this way, the note you swallowed just now was fake." β
"Dai Mingyu, you old immortal, you dare to calculate me-" Dai Mingshi pointed at Dai Mingyu's nose and thundered.
"If you hadn't had a ghost in your heart, would you have swallowed the notes? You deserve it! Dai Mingyu stretched out his hand, "Give the silver, my Dai Mingshi, lord." β
In front of the human and material evidence, Dai Mingshi no longer tossed, so he had to admit that he was unlucky, he picked up the cane on the ground, and staggered into the account room, saying as he walked, "Dai Mingyu, you are ruthless." Isn't it just five hundred taels of silver, I can still afford it, master! β
"Dai plucking, you can afford it, what are you still doing crookedly, hurry up!" Gong Changyu glared at Dai Mingshi.
