Chapter 625: The Guild is afraid of him, Li Chaosheng
"Father-in-law, father-in-law!"
The two brocade guards hurriedly ran back, Cao Huachun was drinking tea in the hall at this time, and there was a bad premonition in his heart for some reason, since he entered this blue field, he was like a fish that got into a fishing net, and he felt that there were restraints everywhere, so that he could not break free.
Just when Cao Huachun was restless and drinking tea, the two brocade guards hurriedly ran back, and the two of them, with a panicked face, looked at Cao Huachun with straight eyebrows!
"What's the matter of panicking and becoming a system?"
Hearing this, the two brocade-clothed guards knelt on the ground and shouted, "Father-in-law, we have lost the princess." ”
"What!"
With a click, the teacup in Cao Huachun's hand fell to the ground, and his eyes were round.
"What did you say, how is the princess?"
When the two brocade guards saw Cao Huachun's expression, their faces immediately turned white with fright, and they could only tremble and say, "Father-in-law, we lost the princess!" ”
"What's going on?"
Hearing this, Cao Huachun clenched his fists, and then forced himself to calm down and asked, Hearing this, the two brocade guards hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, is this ......"
"Rubbish!"
Cao Huachun kicked the two people with a kick, followed by a black face and said: "Waste, a group of waste, two big living people can't look at two women, what's the use of me keeping you!" ”
Cao Huachun was so angry that he flew up and kicked a brocade guard.
The brocade guard was kicked out and didn't dare to cry out in pain, continued to kneel, kowtowed, and said, "Father-in-law spares his life, father-in-law spares his life!" ”
Cao Huachun's face was as black as ink at this time, two wastes, what is the use of me leaving you: "Someone dragged these two wastes out and slaughtered them." ”
Cao Huachun gave an order, and immediately a brocade guard rushed in, sharpening his knives one by one, and the two brocade guards trembled on their knees, and then a man with a gloomy face came over and said, "The factory is angry." ”
Cao Huachun looked at this person, this person was the second gear head of his East Factory, because he was calm, insidious and vicious, and was liked by Cao Huachun, so he often took it with him.
At this time, this person stopped him, and Cao Huachun looked over and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing this, the head of the second gear said: "Factory Gong, it doesn't matter if these two people kill or not, but if you want to kill, you can't kill in Lantian, this place is Li Chaosheng's territory, and the law here is strict, I inquired about it these days, there are several foreign businessmen, who feel that they are not Lantian people, and do not take Lantian law in their eyes, and one of them is a house slave who was killed by a cane in public, and was executed by Lantian." ”
"This businessman asked Judge Lantian during the interrogation, I am not from Lantian, and my house slave is not from Lantian, we two people who have nothing to do with Lantian, how can Lantian law control us?"
"And the explanation given by the judge is: All those who enter my Lantian territory, whether they are princes and nobles, or ordinary people, must abide by the laws of my Lantian land, without exception, the final execution!"
Cao Huachun said with a cold face when he heard this: "Hmph, the one who was killed was just a businessman, and my father was the overseer of the Daming East Factory, how could he be the same as these people, I am afraid that he Li Chaosheng will not be born?" ”
"Yes, of course, the identity of the factory is much higher than that of the businessman, but Li Chaosheng is a muddy person, Yang Sichang, Zhou Yanru, Zuo Liangyu provoked him, and the whole family was killed, the little one is still vivid, so ......"
Cao Huachun's expression paused slightly when he heard this, and then he snorted coldly: "You two wastes, if it weren't for the second gear head to ask you for marriage, you would die today, now give you a chance, I don't care if you use robbery, robbery, or kneeling to beg, I must see the princess within two hours, you know?" ”
"Yes, Father-in-law Xie is not killing."
Cao Huachun waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”
The two of them answered, and went out to look for them with a few brocade guards.
When the brocade guards were gone, Cao Huachun sat back on the chair and shook his fist, Li Chaosheng, the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family is not as knowledgeable as you, in the Lantian miscellaneous family, abide by your Lantian rules first, hum!
Cao Huachun thought about drinking tea again, and suddenly found that the tea was not fragrant!
The princess was lost, Cao Huachun was not worried about the princess's safety, Princess Lantian was used as a bargaining chip for the court to win over Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng's mark had been marked on it, even if he was a stupid thief, he didn't dare to worry about it, not to mention that there was a Zhao Ziying by his side.
As soon as he thought of this girl, Cao Huachun's teeth itched with anger, this is a bastard, the first thing he left this garden was to take the princess to the pawnshop to be his own board finger.
And when he was four hundred and fifty silver dollars, the silver dollars should be miscellaneous, why did she put it in her pocket, in fact, although he has good money, but he also often rewards his subordinates, such small things, he also rewards a lot, but I give it out, you can't take things away from my hands.
Zhao Ziying was tantamount to taking the finger from his hand, and when he thought of it, Cao Huachun stomped his feet angrily, hating to bite this bastard to death.
If it was in the Ming Dynasty, whoever dared to treat him like this to Gonggong Cao would have been killed by Gonggong Cao's whole family a long time ago.
It's a pity that this is Lantian, damn Li Chaosheng, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you, how could my father-in-law let this woman ride on the head.
Cao Huachun was unhappy, and at this time, the other two Jinyi guards who escaped death were also angry, just because the demon girl died in the hands of Cao Gonggong today, and she really hated to kill this woman.
The two brocade guards were angry, but they never thought that it was not these two women who really killed them, but Cao Huachun, who was going to kill people if they didn't agree, not Zhao Ziying.
But people are like this, they are only willing to seek revenge from people who are lower than themselves, or who are of the same level as themselves, or slightly higher than themselves, but they are never willing to seek revenge from those who can control their life and death.
A group of people rushed out of the park and came directly to Lantian Street.
At this time, Lantian Pedestrian Street, Zhu Yujiao has been attracted by the prosperous grand occasion in front of her, there are all kinds of lanterns above the street, and there are all kinds of hawkers below, there are cheap gold and silver pearls and hairpins, there are sugar sellers, sugar gourds, and juggling performances, spitting fire, Sichuan opera changing faces, everything seems lively.
This can't help but remind Zhu Yujiao of a name, Datang Never Sleeps City!
The scene of the Tang Dynasty depicted in the book is nothing more than that.
The whole commercial street is extremely lively, among which most of the young people, especially men and women in love, walk with each other's arms on the street, and they don't feel immoral, and the people around them are also accustomed to it, which shocked Zhu Yujiao, after all, in her impression, men and women are very important, and they can't be like this.
But this has subverted their own values.
"Woo, your kumquat honey tea."
Zhu Yujiao looked at the bamboo tube handed over by Zhao Ziying, as well as a reed pipe inserted on it, and then saw Zhao Ziying, sucking the liquid in the bamboo tube.
Suck up!
Zhu Yujiao learned to suck in this way, and suddenly a sweetness filled her taste buds, so delicious!
"Well, that's good."
Zhao Ziying said with a smile.
"Well, it's delicious, it's sweet, and it's a little sour."
Zhao Ziying smiled: "Can it not taste good?" This is a major specialty drink of our Lantian Night Market, don't underestimate these drinks, many recipes are left over from the Song Dynasty, and some of us in Lantian reproduce the deliciousness of this thing. ”
After speaking, Zhao Ziying said: "Let's go, take you to buy delicious food." ”
"Good!"
Call!
The two of them drank drinks and walked on the crowded pedestrian street, and soon came to the hottest stall in Lantian, this stall is very large, a large row of iron plates, a total of eight people control this row of iron plates, under the iron plate is a carbon trough, which is burning charcoal, and on the iron plate is a big fish that is bubbling with oil.
And the stall owner of his grilled fish also showed off his skills, and when he saw that there were many people, he poured some oil, and the flame rose all of a sudden, followed by a bunch of people who came to watch, and at the same time were attracted by the fragrance of the grilled fish.
One by one, they watched the big fish salivate.
"Boss, come two."
Zhao Ziying said and handed over the money, and the boss smiled and said, "Okay, two beauties will pick two big ones for you." ”
Call!
Flames, iron plates, chili sauce, wait for one set, and the two big fish will be ready.
Zhao Ziying said: "Try it." ”
Zhu Yujiao tentatively bit a fish whisker, and his eyes lit up in an instant, and the mellow taste of You Yu instantly filled his taste buds, delicious, delicious.
"It's delicious."
"Let's go, let's take some lamb skewers and eat them."
said that Zhao Ziying took Zhu Yujiao to eat kebabs, if grilled fish is the latest hit in Lantian Pedestrian Street, then barbecue lamb skewers are the evergreen trees that Lantian has always been evergreen.
And what can be compared to this evergreen, I'm afraid that only a few newly opened shabu shabu shops can follow one of them.
"Boss, thirty skewers of lamb, two chicken wings, five chicken gizzards, and another plate of roasted peppers, thank you."
When the boss heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay." ”
The aroma of roast lamb came to pass.
Zhu Yujiao looked at the bubbling mutton skewers, her eyes lit up, she ate them in a big gulp, and soon ate ten skewers, seeing that she had eaten so much, especially Zhao Ziying's somewhat surprised eyes, Zhu Yujiao said embarrassedly: "Is it that I have eaten too much." ”
Zhao Ziying smiled: "Not much, not much, I just didn't expect you to like to eat mutton so much, after all, you are from the palace, you must be used to eating big fish and meat, I think that even if you love to eat, you will get tired of eating a few bunches." ”
Zhu Yujiao was silent when she heard this, lowered her head and took a sip of her drink, then sighed and said: "Ziying, in fact, life in the palace is not as good as you think, and we don't eat as well as you." ”
"Ah, can't you?"
Zhu Yujiao sighed when she heard this: "The Ming Dynasty is turbulent, my father is exhausted, and the salaries of the various armies in the Ming Dynasty cannot be paid, and my father is anxious to find the courtiers to raise donations, but the result you also know that since the courtiers can't raise donations, my father can only save from the court, we are friends, I can tell you something, I won't hide it from you, I and my younger brothers and sisters, and my mother and concubine have not eaten meat for several months." ”
"Ah, you haven't eaten meat in months?"
This surprised Zhao Ziying, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and people are also royal nobles again, how can there be royal nobles who can't afford to eat meat, aren't they all Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road? ”
"Your Majesty is really harsh on you."
Hearing this, Zhao Ziying sighed and said.
Zhu Yujiao said: "My father is not harsh on us, but there is really no way, he has actually not eaten meat for several months, and he is ......"
Zhu Yujiao said that she was a little choked up at one point.
"And what?"
"And my father's clothes are patched, and I don't want to change them!"
"This!"
Zhao Ziying couldn't help but marvel, how could the emperor of a country be so thrifty, his clothes were patched, but the ministers under his command had a lot of money, and the land under his name was in 10,000 acres.
The courtiers are rich and rival the country, but the clothes worn by the emperor are exposed, and they still need to be patched, who is to reason with this.
Zhu Yujiao looked at Zhao Ziying and said, "Ziying, have you ever been as frugal as my father in Lantian County?" ”
Zhao Ziying said: "Although my county is thrifty, I have never been like this to Your Majesty. ”
"Then why does everyone in the world scold my father and emperor as a faint king, but call Li Chaosheng a virtuous man, is it better to be frugal than extravagant?"
Zhu Yujiao fought for Chongzhen.
Zhao Ziying shook her head and said: "Things are not commented on like this, although your father is thrifty, but the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty is much more miserable than him, you have come all the way, you must have seen the miserable situation of the people, compared with Yi Zi and eating, a patch on your clothes is nothing, right?" ”
Zhao Ziying looked at Zhu Yujiao and said, Zhu Yujiao frowned and said, "That's ......"
"I know you want to say that our county respect, our county respect's life is good, eat whatever you want, but the people under his command eat about the same as him, you said that there is no meat in your palace in March, and now the people of Lantian can eat meat once every three days, even so, the county has always said that the people are hard, and the people are hard."
"Sister, come and see the prosperity of this Lantian field, can't our county be able to afford a word of wisdom?"
Zhao Ziying pointed to the lively scene around her, watching the people around her eating, drinking and laughing, Zhu Yujiao was silent, and said for a long time: "I admit that your county is indeed good at governing the county, but, but why can't he help my father if he has such a ability?" As long as you Lantian are willing to make a move, your father can get the greatest support, you can defeat the Liukou, and recover the lost territory in Liaodong, but why can't you Lantian help my father? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ziying smiled, looked at Zhu Yujiao and said, "Why do you want to help?" ”
Zhu Yujiao was stunned, looked at Zhao Ziying and said, "Isn't it supposed that the courtiers will help Your Majesty?" ”
Zhao Ziying shook her head and said: "Where did so many people come from in this world, the ministers are loyal to the king, the premise is that the king must maintain the courtiers, my Lantian was the origin of the Liukou at the beginning, when we were struggling to save lives in Lantian and eat the son, what was your father doing?" He raised taxes again, snatched all the life-saving food from the people's homes, and forced the people to starve to death. ”
"It is our county respect regardless of personal gains and losses, trying every means to repair canals, distribute grain for disaster relief, step by step to bring the people of Lantian to prosperity, when our Lantian people suffered, did not see Your Majesty, and now Your Majesty wants to use the wealth of our Lantian people's sweat and hard work to save others, do you think it is possible?"
"To tell the truth, even if the county does not know what is right and wrong, the eight million people of Lantian will definitely not be willing, this is the will of the people, do you know? Who's going to be a whom? ”
