Chapter 45: The Feast of the Hung Gate (I)
Everyone sat down and drank a glass together, and the atmosphere eased under the harmony of Ma Bond's left and right.
After ten years of drinking, Zhang Muzhi patted his chest and said, "Ma someone, the county magistrate, bought it." Buying an official is to make money, and besides, Ma doesn't like to make money from the poor. ”
"And whose money do you want to make?" Huang Shilang raised his eyebrows and said.
"Whoever has money earns it." Zhang Muzhi.
"And who has the money?" Huang Shilang asked.
"You've got money." Zhang Muyi refers to Huang Shilang.
Huang Shilang laughed: "Refreshing! The county magistrate has taken a fancy to something, take it casually! ”
Zhang Muzhi also laughed: "I'm not a bandit, I'm the county magistrate." The county magistrate has to pay attention to the right name to make money. ”
"Well said!" Huang Shilang cocked his thumb, leaned forward slightly, stared at Zhang Muzhi's eyes and said, "Could it be that the county magistrate wants to emulate Lu Dashuai?" ”
"It's a pity that Master Huang is not Liu Cheng." Zhang Muzhi also leaned forward.
"That's right, I'm not as stupid as him," Huang Shilang smiled, "I won't be stupid enough to go against Lu Dashuai." ”
"I don't have the pride and ambition of being a handsome." Zhang Muzhi.
Ma Bond took a sip of wine at this time, and interjected with a smile: "Master Huang is highly respected, so naturally he is not the kind of evil gentleman in the evil country like Liu Cheng. The county magistrate Ma is rough on the outside and beautiful on the inside, and he does not have the domineering spirit of my family's handsome king. The two of them are harmonious and wealthy, only if the two of them abandon their previous suspicions, Goose City will be calm. ”
Although Lu Heng knew that Ma Bond was patting his ass, this "domineering spirit" still made him have the urge to smoke this thing to death.
He looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "It seems that it is difficult for the two of them to get along peacefully. ”
Huang Shilang laughed and said: "Big handsome, big handsome, Huang loves peace the most, but it's a pity that the county magistrate doesn't seem to take the usual path." ”
Zhang Muzhi smiled indifferently and said with tea: "There are so many people walking on the road, Ma has no choice but to go his own way." ”
Huang Shilang restrained his smile and looked at Zhang Muzhi thoughtfully.
If you don't know the inside story, you will definitely be confused by the conversation between the two, and you will obviously talk about making money, why is it that you are on the road?
Lu Heng knew that the two of them were trying to make money, or in other words, Zhang Muzhi was implicitly challenging Huang Shilang.
The sentence "I don't like to make money from the poor" shows Zhang Muzhi's identity and position.
In these years, apart from the revolutionaries with great ambitions, who has not colluded with each other to exploit the mud legs?
Zhang Muzhi said this, which means that he has never forgotten his identity, so his purpose of coming to Goose City as a revolutionary is obvious.
Huang Shilang asked Zhang Muzhi to "take whatever he likes", which was polite on the surface, but in fact, it was like asking for food, or sarcasm.
If you don't trade mud legs with us, then you can only be a beggar and let me give alms.
Zhang Muzhi fought back, saying that he wanted to earn "justifiably".
To earn Huang Shilang's money, he has to earn a good name, how can Zhang Muzhi, a revolutionary, earn "just and rightly"?
Isn't it justified for revolutionaries to eradicate the degenerate who betrayed the revolution?
This is almost equivalent to a declaration of war on Huang Shilang - I will kill you!
This immediately aroused Huang Shilang's strong reaction, and he directly asked Zhang Muzhi if he wanted to kill him directly like Lu Heng eliminated Liu Cheng?
Zhang Muzhi regretfully told him, you are not as stupid as Liu Cheng, so this road will not work, and I will use my way to reform your life.
The above is the real hidden meaning of the conversation between Huang Shilang and Zhang Muzhi just now.
Ma Bond let the two "make money in harmony" because he didn't understand the deep meaning, or he guessed a little, but he was pretending to be confused.
Lu Heng understood, and there was no need to pretend to be confused, so he said, "It's difficult for you to get along peacefully." ”
The first round of encounters ended, and the four of them toasted together.
Huang Shilang put down his wine glass, looked at Lu Heng, and then at Zhang Muzhi, suddenly smiled, and said, "The county magistrate wants to make money, it's simple!" We have two major families in Goose City, both of which sell people to Goose Merriken, build railways, and make all the money from Dao Laier. ”
This is another temptation by Huang Shilang, he wants to know, how firm is Zhang Muzhi's will to change his life, and can it be solved with money?
Ma Bond smiled and said, "Still talking about the knife, Master Huang?" Or how to make money? ”
“NO,no,no!” Huang Shilang shook his fingers, "Dao Lyle, the money used by the Americans, Dao Lyle, You, know?" ”
"Dao Laier......" Ma Bond suddenly realized and said with a smile: "As soon as our handsome comes, the money will arrive." Haha......"
He served the wine, first raised his glass to Lu Heng, and then said, "Let's have a drink!" ”
With a glass of wine in his stomach, Zhang Muzhi put down the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Master Huang is polite, who in the entire southern country doesn't know, in Goose City, you Huang Shilang is the boss." ”
"The boss is often an empty shelf, every day when his eyes are opened, hundreds of people eat, drink, pull, and scatter, all of them have to wait for me to serve, how many mouthfuls can really fall into my mouth?" Huang Shilang said with a smile.
He paused slightly, looked at Lu Heng, and continued: "Although Lu Dashuai is a new leader, he must know the status and situation of people like me very well, right?" ”
"I know Liu Cheng quite well," Lu Heng smiled, "Is Master Huang the same as him?" ”
Huang Shilang's face stiffened, quickly returned to normal, and said: "Of course it's different, I am Liu Dutong's person, and now that he is about to be defeated, he will have to rely on Lu Dashuai more in the future." I won't be Liu Cheng. ”
In the last sentence, Huang Shilang seemed to be referring to something.
Huang Shilang quickly skipped the topic and continued to Zhang Muzhi: "If the county magistrate is really in a hurry to make money, I have a good place to go." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Muzhi couldn't deny it, "Please speak." ”
Huang Shilang looked into his eyes and said word by word: "Zhang, Ma, Zi!" ”
The atmosphere suddenly froze!
"Ahh
At this moment, a terrible scream came from behind the curtain, adding to the weight of the frozen atmosphere.
Ma Bond jumped up in fright: "Hey! What a damn thing! ”
Huang Shilang leisurely used his fingertips to flick a drop of blood splashed on the table, looked at Zhang Muzhi, and gently tapped the wine bottle.
Immediately, another curtain was drawn down, obscuring the first curtain red with blood.
"Zhang Mazi?" Zhang Muzhi asked with a smile.
"That's right, Zhang Mazi!" Huang Shilang picked up the wine glass, looked at him and smiled.
"So does this Zhang Mazi have something to do with us, or does it have something to do with money?" Zhang Muzhi asked.
"It's all related!" Huang Shilang lifted the wine in the cup.
"Oh? Could it be that he is in Goose City? Zhang Muzhi asked.
"In!" Huang Shilang stared at Zhang Muzhi, "I'm not there either." ”
Zhang Muzhi smiled, he knew that Huang Shilang already suspected that he was Zhang Mazi, the leader of the bandits, but he was not sure.
Ma Bangde also laughed and said to Lu Heng: "Master Huang's words are quite mysterious. ”
Lu Heng said with a smile: "It looks like the plaintiff is about to become a defendant." ”
"Nope! I'd rather be a defendant! Huang Shilang said to Lu Heng, "Plaintiff, it means that you have suffered a loss, I, Huang, will eat everything, but I will not suffer a loss!" ”
"Then you're going to have to suffer a little." Lu Heng said with a smile.
"Endure hardships for the handsome, Huang, it is incumbent!" Huang Shilang raised his glass.
Lu Heng looked at him without moving, and said lightly: "If you suffer for me, you have to lose your head." ”
Huang Shilang's smile suddenly froze.
He didn't understand, why was this Lu Dashuai prickly tonight, could it be that the two of them had joined forces?
If that's the case......
