Chapter 861: There are guests
Although the government is not small, it is still a bit cramped to accommodate so many rich squires in the city. But at this time, no one cared about whether it was cramped or not, but looked at the few people sitting at the top with excitement.
This time, the adults in the capital are all exceptionally young, and they are ...... The young lady in the city who has not yet said her relatives looked over through the fan, where can you see such an impeccable-looking, wealthy, young and promising son in the city!
"It's still the two of you who are popular!" The girl turned her head slightly and said to Wang Xu, "I'm similar to Third Master Xie." ”
Xie Sanye, who was drinking on the side, couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand when he heard this, touched his face, and said that although he was middle-aged, he was also well maintained, but this maintenance was still incomparable with real young people.
……
……
There are people here who are laughing and happy, and there are people squatting alone on Hidden Dragon Mountain without eating or drinking, Pei Zongzhi touched his stomach: He is a little hungry, why haven't the fish come yet?
Just thinking like this, I heard some slight movement coming this way.
Tonight there was rain and no moon, and the mountains were dark, but the two of them did not light the lamp, and they walked slowly like this, and the night seemed to them nothing.
Walking freely in the dark night, with yin and yang eyes, it should be a fish, but I didn't expect that there are two more, Pei Zong's heart said.
The two of them said as they walked, and one of them had obvious annoyance in his tone: "That Heavenly Master surnamed Wei obviously came prepared, in order to wantonly hunt and kill us and other people in the city, it's simply hateful!" ”
"Although the woman is young, she is not easy to get along with, have you forgotten that the Taoist people were put together by her in Chang'an City? The young age is full of tricks, this time it's those inconsequential little characters, and when she catches all the warlocks walking around the city, is the next step to be a door-to-door search? The man gritted his teeth as he spoke, obviously very resentful, "Tonight's banquet looks like a Hongmen banquet, but those rich people are still happily going to the banquet, what a bunch of fools!" ”
"We have avoided Jinan, and she has to chase after Jinan, it seems that she will not let go if she doesn't get rid of us." The person who spoke sneered, "There is no way to avoid left and right, it is better for us to strike first!" She came to Jinan Mansion to say that it was for miracles, and if the miracles are gone, I see how she should explain to the people! ”
"If there is no miracle, it is natural to ask the local government Yin for the crime, Ye Xiuyuan has been transferring troops in the past few days, not to mention that he is still Qiao Huan's son-in-law, lying about miracles is a big crime, I don't think she can take Ye Xiuyuan!"
"To take it is to offend Qiao Huan and backhand to give her own person a knife, she does things like this, how many people are willing to obey her? As long as I wait for a little provocation, she herself will be a mess, how can she still have the ability to run in front of you and me to show off her might? If she doesn't take it, she deliberately covers up, I see how she explains to the people! ”
"Brother Wang, you are smart!"
……
Pei Zongzhi stood in the shadows and silently watched the two approach.
The two men walked near the spring, and the so-called colorful spring was mixed with rootless rain, and could not see such a changing color, and one of them put down the gunpowder, got up and prepared to leave, and suddenly felt a sinking of his shoulder, and the next moment he knew nothing.
Although the drizzle continued, it could not stop the liveliness of the banquet, and the backyard of the government was full of laughter and laughter, which was also mixed with the sound of drums.
The performance of drumming is the rich man Hu in the city, the family has been doing business for generations, and is accustomed to business, and every Jinan Mansion Yin has a good relationship, it is a few generations down, but also accumulated a lot of wealth, on financial resources is one of the best in Jinan City, now Hu Lao Ye is holding a drumstick with a bare face and happy to perform drumming.
Wei Yaoqing's eyesight is very good, and when she saw several gentle-looking old men sitting on the left, she was disdainful of them, and she didn't think she was used to seeing Master Hu's style. There is also an undercurrent among these rich squires in the small Jinan Mansion, she shook her head slightly, there is competition everywhere, which is not surprising, and this undercurrent can't come to her head.
No matter how much they disagreed in private, at least in front of these officials from the capital, they would not show it, until two warlocks who had already passed out in Taoist robes were thrown into the wide, uninhabited courtyard in the middle.
Such a four-fold banquet was destined to be the focus of everyone in the middle of the open-air uninhabited place, but because of the rain, no entertainment program was arranged in the center, until this time, someone threw two people in.
This completely silenced the audience.
Along with those two people, Pei Zongzhi was standing aside. He didn't speak, but threw the man in the middle and walked up to the empty seat.
He appeared suddenly, and he appeared in such an eye-catching way, Ye Xiuyuan hurriedly got up and asked people to sit up, and then asked Pei Zongzhi with a smile: "Mr. Pei, who are these two people?" ”
"The miracle was ruined, and these two men did it." Pei Zongzhi sat down in the seat he had arranged, and said, "These people are one of the murderers who assassinated the first emperor. ”
"Poof", the sound of the drumstick falling to the ground sounded, and at this time there was only one person holding the drumstick in his hand, and that was Master Hu who was performing drumming.
Master Hu's face turned pale, his body suddenly trembled, and then he knelt on the ground with a "poof": "My lord, spare my life!" ”
Spare your life? What lives are spared?
The audience was silent.
The woman who sat at the top, laughed and laughed all night, although she didn't talk much, but didn't make a fuss, stood up and looked at him: "Master Hu, what's wrong with you?" How could I kill you if you beat the drums well? ”
Master Hu kowtowed in a panic: "My lord, the old mother of the family has been sick in bed for many years, these people suddenly came to the door and said that they could treat the old mother, and the little ones left them as guests, I really didn't know that these people were the murderers who assassinated the emperor, and the adults spared their lives......
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other squires and wealthy families around changed slightly.
"Destroying miracles is a big crime, it is not an exaggeration to say that even the nine clans are skilled, plus the assassination of the first emperor ......" The girl looked at Master Hu, who was trembling like chaff and seeing that everyone was about to faint, and suddenly said, "Master Hu really doesn't know?" ”
"I don't know!" The Hu family had already knelt down, and Master Hu kowtowed in a panic, "Little Lao'er really doesn't know, in addition to these two people, there are two, a total of four people come to my house to treat my mother's illness, no money, just we need to provide the things needed for treatment......"
Wang Xu was secretly shocked when he heard this: she was really right, such a simple coax can make these squires and rich people provide things for those people, after all, those things are not of much use to ordinary people, and they are not as eye-catching as money, no wonder these squires and rich families agreed so easily.
"Four?" The girl at the top shook her head, "More than that." She said without looking at the flustered Master Hu, and looked around, "Do you have any uninvited 'guests' recently?" "Go read a book
