Chapter Seventy-Six: Supper
Ugly moment.
The watchman passed by for the fourth time, and the sound of a slow and fast change reverberated through the silent street.
However, in the county governor's mansion across the wall, in the mansion to the east, at this moment, there is the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, and the dancing girls are graceful and indescribably beautiful.
Zhou Xiaotong hugged a dancing girl with a peach and plum face in his arms, her clothes were wide open, her wine glass was held high, and she shouted "drink", and drank it in one gulp.
On the seats on the left and right, the prodigal sons and brothers also raised their glasses and drank wine.
After three glasses of wine, Zhou Xiaotong seemed to have drunk to the fullest, and it was like the wine loosened his guard, making the suppressed emotions in his heart explode.
I saw him slap his palm on the table and shouted, "What is the young owner of Taishi Building!" What a bullshit sword! What a big river gang less gang leader! In the face of a bald donkey, he didn't dare to say anything. Lao Tzu almost died tonight. ”
Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face, which is the basic quality of being a big man.
Zhou Xiaotong thought that he already had such qualities, he could order Diao Min to be dragged to feed the dogs without changing his face, and he could also talk eloquently in front of the young master of Taishi Building and the sword of Sword Pavilion, and he was full of spirit.
To the bottom and the top, he can deal with it freely, this kind of psychological quality, if he can't become a big man, who else can?
However, the truth told him that there was a small error in his understanding.
When the ice blue sword light roared in front of his eyes, and when Bai Chou's sword qi wandered and flew beside his face, Zhou Xiaotong had to admit one thing, that is, he was almost incontinent.
The so-called ease of coping is not worth mentioning before life and death.
So after coming back from Fenghua Building, he was shocked and called a group of friends he had made on weekdays, and went to the Qinglou to invite a few dancing girls, and began to vent the panic in his heart with flowers and wine.
The boys on the left and right sides heard Zhou Xiaotong's roar, and stopped their movements one by one very tacitly. didn't respond to a few words of scolding, nor did he try to persuade a few words.
It is impossible to scold, the young landlord of Taishi Building, the young gang leader of the Dajiang Gang, and the sword of the Sword Pavilion, these are all big people they can't afford to provoke, even if Zhou Xiaotong dares to scold here, let him go to the line with those two people in person, he is afraid that he will not be able to spit out a word.
Persuasion can't be persuaded, Zhou Xiaotong is angry, and to persuade him at this time is to be a punching bag for him.
Although they are all second ancestors, these sons and brothers are not sloppy and know what to do and what not to do.
Even, they smelled a bad meaning from Zhou Xiaotong's angry screams.
Shaoqing, after Zhou Xiaotong's anger stopped for a while, the young man in the first place on the left asked, "Brother Zhou, is there something going to happen again?" I heard that the border has been very tight recently, will it be ······?"
He didn't say the next words, but everyone was in their hearts.
Could it be that there is another war at the border?
They all knew what they didn't say.
The battle of three years ago has not been forgotten, and even within a valley fifty miles away from the county town, there is a mass grave where the army left to carry out the massacre.
They were afraid that the war would start again, disturbing their rich lives.
"Afraid of what?" Zhou Xiaotong said with a blushing face, "The war has started, and we will retreat." At most, it is a little tired and the road, and when we come back, there will be a time when you are happy. ”
He smiled smugly and looked to the left and right, "Those untouchables, if they refuse to leave, they will die, and those who are willing to leave will also mortgage their land deeds to us in exchange for silver taels for running away." But ah, isn't it normal for someone to die on this way of escape? ”
"When they die, the silver taels, the land deeds, and the land deeds are not all ours. The untouchables who refuse to leave, their land is ours as well. ”
When the son-in-law who spoke out heard this, he also smiled.
However, he persuaded in a serious voice: "Brother Zhou, although the people are cheap, they also have their uses. Their finances were stolen on the way to escape, so it was better not to let them lose their lives. After all—"
He stretched out his voice and suddenly smiled: "Without them, who will work for us?" Right? ”
The crowd laughed.
"If you do this, aren't you afraid that the Tie Ce Army will settle accounts with you?" In the midst of laughter, someone suddenly asked coldly.
The young man didn't look back and said: "If Tie Cejun had the courage, he would have settled the account three years ago." At first they didn't dare, but this time, they still don't. They just used some small means to deal with civil officials like Shangguan County Shou. Want to deal with us? Scold. ”
Zhou Xiaotong even sat on the main seat and laughed: "With the protection of Taishi Building, Sword Pavilion, and Dajiang Gang, who can kill me?" Who should cut off the good head? ”
Now, he remembered that the three factions had come again.
It's a big deal that in the future, you will either walk with the three factions, or you will shrink into the county governor's mansion and not go out.
No matter how bold those people in the Heavenly Gate are, they don't have the ability to kill themselves.
As for these friends······ Anyway, they didn't know about the existence of the Heavenly Gate, so there was no need for them to worry too much.
When he spoke, Zhou Xiaotong also wanted to see who stirred up his interest and ruined his own affairs at such a time.
He called everyone to a party tonight, of course, there was an element of emotions in his heart that needed to be vented, but also because his father ordered him to stabilize the hearts of these big families and give them a reassurance.
I didn't expect it to be almost successful, but it turned out to be a blind one.
The drunken gaze fell in the direction where the voice came, and a face without facial features broke into Zhou Xiaotong's eyes.
No face······ Faceless!
"Faceless Blade Ghost!"
Zhou Xiaotong only felt that his lower body trembled, and a sudden warmth gradually spread.
"Faceless Blade Ghost!"
The young man, who had previously made a bold statement, looked back and let out a high-pitched scream that overshadowed the sound of the piano.
"It's the first time I've heard someone want to be beheaded."
The Faceless Knife Ghost looked like he had seen the market and said.
Although he has no face.
"Since they want to be beheaded, let them be fulfilled."
Another Faceling appeared, holding a slender single knife in his hand, and said with a sneer.
Two Faceless Knife Ghosts!
"With so many people dead, I don't know if the city can settle down."
They are all sons and brothers of big families, if they are really killed, Zhanmeng's goal will be exceeded.
Light curtains of different colors appeared all around, and the shouts and shouts inside were all confined to the light curtain.
As for some of the domestic servants and slaves on the periphery, they had already been packed up before this.
Actually, I just wanted to have a late-night snack. ’
Shen Yi looked at this sudden chaotic scene, his heart moved, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls kept echoing, "But this kind of supper is not bad." ’
