Chapter 43: The Three Heroes of Cross Slope join
The accident happened suddenly, so angry that Wu Song really wanted to go to prison and rescue his brother and sister-in-law. Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang advised Wu Song to be calm, otherwise even if they were added to the husband and wife, it would be more difficult to kill thousands of soldiers and the palace guarded by the forbidden army than to ascend to the sky.
Wu Song finally calmed down, and only entrusted Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang to visit his brother, Wu Song was determined not to go to see it, and Wu Song, the felony of destroying the nine clans, was naturally a sheep. In the afternoon, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang went to visit the prison and came back, which confirmed the news spread in the neighborhood, fortunately, Wu Song's nephew four-year-old Wu Jun went to his grandfather's house during the Chinese New Year and has not returned yet, Wu Song asked Zhang Qing and his wife to go to Qinghe County, so that the Pan family took the nephew to the countryside to hide, and did not show his head for the time being before the case was concluded. Zhang Qing and his wife left as they said.
Wu Song kidnapped Chen Xiucai out of the city that night, and after some threats and torture, Chen Xiucai was forced to write a confession under the torment of not being able to survive and death, claiming that he owed a huge amount of loan sharks and was rejected to borrow from Wu Zhi and his wife, so he held a grudge, so he wrote an anti-poem and hid it in the book, and went to the prefect of Lianghuai Road to tell him. Now Tianliang found that he had explained the reason, and he was willing to bear the crime of defilement.
As for what Cai secretly instructed in the back, he didn't dare to mention it at all. Wu Song asked Chen Xiucai to be named and pressed a bloody handprint. After resting hurriedly for a while, he looked for a place to have breakfast the next morning, secretly ordered his Nine Yin Absolute Vein, and escorted Chen Songgui to see the two Huai envoys to surrender.
Helplessly, Wu Song took Chen Songgui too far away from the city last night, and when he returned to the city, Wu Zhi and his wife had already been sentenced to beheading and beheaded. People can't be resurrected after death, even if Wu Zhi is resentful, he is powerless. Wu Song was furious, and he couldn't wait for Chen Songgui to bleed to death seven days later, and Chen Xiucai was killed with one punch.
Wu Song also got into a life lawsuit because of this, so he had to rush back to Yanggu County and resign from the capital to die in the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, since Wu Zhi was framed by others, it was already a grievance case, and the governor of Lianghuai Road wrote to the court that Wu Zhi's relatives would no longer be held responsible, and Wu Song's nephew no longer had to hide in Tibet. Wu Song hurried all the way to catch up with Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, explaining the final result. The couple invited Wu Song to go to the cross slope to temporarily avoid the lawsuit, and when the Xinyang Mansion no longer pursues it, they will come out again to do things. In this way, Wu Song went to the cross slope to avoid trouble.
After hearing what happened to Wu Zhi, everyone felt sorry for Wu Zhi.
Zhao Chongyang and Wu Song recognized each other, and Wu Song introduced Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang to Zhao Chongyang. When Sun Erniang heard that the four flower-like little ladies who followed Zhao Chongyang were all Zhao Chongyang's fiancΓ©es, she was a little more curious about Wu Song's little junior brother.
Zhao Chongyang asked Qian Xiaoan to invite Shi Bao and other heroes to meet, and everyone got to know each other together. Zhao Chongyang knows that in another time and space, these people are all famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, and in this time and space, they will all be their subordinates.
Sun Erniang asked Zhang Qing to go to the village to find two village women to help cook, it was rare for many heroes to get together, everyone had a good drink first, and then eat. asked Wu Song to go to the treasury to bring two jars of wine.
Zhao Chongyang said: "Brother Zhang and sister-in-law just take out the cooking materials, and the soup mother and Shi mother I brought are quite good at cooking, so let the two of them take someone to cook, you just have to drink." The wine is also drunk with our good wine fairy, and you will be satisfied with it. β
After a while, Shi Ma and Tang Ma took the village woman who had invited them to help and began to cook. Wu Song and Zhang Qing set up tables and stools and invited everyone to sit down. Since there were four little beauties present, Sun Erniang sat at a table with several little beauties, and the red sleeves and purple smoke poured wine on the side and waited. The men sitting at the other table were Zhang Qing, Wu Song, Shi Bao, Bao Daoyi, Pang Wanchun, Qian Xiaoan, Nangong Yongjie, and Zhao Chongyang. Qian Xiaoan asked two guards to come over and pour wine for everyone. The wine glass was specially ordered by Zhao Chongyang in the ceramic workshop, and it was much smaller than the sea bowl that everyone usually drinks.
Zhang Qing said: "Brother, you can drink this kind of small cup when you are small, but my brothers are used to drinking in big bowls, so let's drink in big bowls." β
Zhao Chongyang said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Qing, this is a highly strong liquor that has been brewed by our Wantong Commercial Bank in the past year or so, called Immortal Drunk. Drinking with a big bowl may be a massive amount like Second Brother Wu, at most two bowls, you really can't afford to fight a tiger, let alone fight a tiger. They didn't believe Brother Shibao that day, but they choked on wine. Don't toast yet, take a sip and taste it slowly, you will know how powerful he is. I'm too young to drink this spirit, I drink the low alcohol that the ladies drink.
Zhang Qing and Wu Song began to taste according to their words, each drank a small sip and swallowed it slowly, Wu Song swallowed the wine, and shouted loudly: "What a strong wine, it is really fragrant and pure." The little junior brother really didn't say anything scary, I really can't drink three bowls of this kind of wine. You can only drink it one sip at a time, and you can't drink it like water. β
The men here began to drink, and Sun Erniang over there did not show weakness, and after letting the two maids pour the wine for everyone, she raised her glass and said to the four little beauties: "Four brothers and sisters, come, let's drink too." "Compared with the fairy drunk, the degree of rice wine is much lower, only about 30 degrees, and it tastes both fragrant and refreshing, although it is only eleven or twelve degrees higher than the alcohol produced by most wineries in this era, but because the wine-making method is different, there is no water smell.
After a glass of wine, Sun Erniang's character was exposed again, and she shouted repeatedly: "It's enjoyable!" Enjoyable! It's so enjoyable, I didn't expect your Wantong Trading House to be able to make such a fragrant and pure wine, which is comparable to jade liquid elixir. β
Wu Song said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are just the rice wine that the girl's family drinks, my little junior brother said that the strength of the wine is far worse than what we drink here, if you pour a glass of our side to drink, it will be enjoyable." β
Sun Erniang thought, I usually drink better than Zhang Qingdu, pour half a bowl of fairy drunk to drink, I don't think it will be fine. So he said to Wu Song: "Erlang, since there is such a good wine, you can pour a glass for your sister-in-law." β
"Okay, here's the wine, sister-in-law." Wu Song poured a glass of wine for Erniang and brought it over.
Sun Erniang was happy, and she had already forgotten Zhao Chongyang's warning before drinking, and took a big sip of the sprinkling cup. This can make Sun Erniang miserable enough, and she coughed for several minutes before stopping.
After Sun Erniang relieved herself, Zhao Chongyang smiled and said, "Have you forgotten my warning?" β
At this time, the chef had already brought a few dishes to the table, and everyone ate while drinking, and after two glasses of wine, everyone had a sense of wine and talked more. Only Shi Bao, Bao Daoyi, and Zhao Chongyang can rely on their profound internal skills to resolve part of the alcohol without showing drunkenness.
Zhao Chongyang knew that although Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang's martial arts were not high, and they could only be partial generals on the battlefield, they were real, unlike Song Jiang and others who would talk sweetly and fool people. Especially the heroine Sun Erniang is a person who can bear life and death. So he asked Zhang Qingdao: "Brother Zhang, how much money can you and your sister-in-law make for opening a store here?" Why don't you join our Wantong Chamber of Commerce, we will pay for you to rebuild and expand here, and provide accommodation for our caravans, we want to build a large workshop of thousands of people in Tongbai County, it is estimated that a month later, every few days, our convoy will pass once, each trip to hundreds of vehicles, at least one or two hundred people to escort. Of course, as soon as our factory was built, there were many people who came to buy goods. Therefore, the shop should be enlarged, so that it could accommodate two or three hundred people, and more fodder should be prepared for the horses. If you are willing to work in your village, please ask a few more to help with the chores. The men and women of the village mobilized to cut the grass for us in the autumn and sell it to us, and after the fodder was prepared in the autumn, the horses that came and went in the winter and early spring had fodder to eat. My brother and sister-in-law each paid 10 yuan a month, the chef hired each paid 5 yuan a month, and the man paid 3 yuan a month. β
Zhang Qing is still hesitating, Sun Erniang has already agreed, is it too much for you to give us two people twenty yuan a month, or five yuan per person. What if your father, Chairman Cho, disagrees? β
Shi Bao said: "Sun Nuxia rest assured, in the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Gongzi's words are more effective than President Zhao's." Because the liquor, soap, soap, and perfume of our Chamber of Commerce are all made by Zhao Gongzi. Also, recently, our chamber of commerce has come up with a kind of water jade that manages money, and that piece is more money than gold. Therefore, our chamber of commerce is not short of money, and most of the things in our car have been sold along the road, and they are still worth more than 300,000 yuan. Therefore, don't look at Zhao Gongzi until he is eleven years old on the Double Ninth Festival, his intelligence has already surpassed that of adults, and he was called a prodigy when he was eight years old, and his promise will not be changed. β
Sun Erniang said: "Since the little brother can be the master of the Chamber of Commerce, then our husband and wife will help Wantong Commercial Bank to open a store here, Brother Erlang is good, and you are a senior brother, let him follow you to break through, and he will have a big future in the future." β
Zhao Chongyang said: "Senior Brother Wu's time with the master is too short, and he only learns the master's leg technique. Less than three months, more than half a year, we are going north to Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, the master lives in Yuejiazhuang, Tangyin County, the senior brother likes to dance the knife the most, go to follow the master to learn his knife technique, and then follow the bodyguard team to escort the goods, in the future, when the Jin people go south, with the divine power and skills of the senior brother, it is indispensable when he makes contributions. β
It was night, everyone was full of wine and food, and everyone had their best before washing and resting.
Early the next morning, Zhao Chongyang left 10,000 yuan to Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, 20 altars of immortal drunk and a few jars of rice wine, a carriage and five soldiers to drive and do chores, and a female slave who could cook stir-fried and steamed vegetables, and took the convoy on the road. Zhao Chongyang knew that Wu Song was good at using double knives, so he took out two treasure knives for him to use, and gave another treasure knife to Zhang Qing and a sword to Sun Erniang.
Before leaving, Sun Erniang said to Zhao Chongyang: "Brother Zhao, if you want to expand trade between Xinyang and Nanyang or in this area, you must ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, like our cross slope, two years ago, there were many caravans from the south to the north, and they received a lot of guests almost every day. Do you see the open space in front of my store where you park? It was I who asked the peasant corpse to dig it up for me, to expand the inn, and to repair the stables. Who knew that more than a year ago, hundreds of strong men came from Huaixi, and they robbed the passing merchants in the village of Wild Boar Ridge, so that unless the powerful caravan paid them a part of the road money, they really couldn't eat each other, so they would agree to let them go. Therefore, for more than a year, most of the caravans did not dare to take this road, and our business was not as good as before, so I broke off the idea of expanding the inn.
Now, since you have the intention to develop in this area, with your current strength, and with the addition of my Wu Erlang brothers, you already have the strength to take down the strongmen of Wild Boar Ridge. As long as there are no strongmen on this road, and the trade route is unimpeded, there are many people who want the good things such as wine and perfume from your Wantong Chamber of Commerce, even if there is no caravan of yours, I also guarantee that after the expansion of the inn, business will be prosperous. β
Zhao Chongyang said: "Please rest assured, Brother Zhang, we will go all the way, if the people of Wild Boar Ridge don't provoke us, forget it, if they dare to provoke us, they will be destroyed." β
