Chapter 380: This Chicken, Falling? (Two more in one to ask for a monthly pass)
Coming out of the Fuguo Mansion in the morning, Li Shao was so upset that he sat in the carriage with a sullen face.
The handlebar type hesitated and asked Wang Gouzi: "Where to go?" β
Wang Gouzi hesitated.
It is said that it is time to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and there are still a few days before the seal.
Even if you don't learn anything or ask anything after you go, it's better to sit in the house behind closed doors than to not even show your face.
But Wang Gouzi also knew Li Shao's temper, and the Qianbu Corridor was already discussing that matter, and the imperial historians in the early dynasty added another stroke, and today is the lively time, His Royal Highness will definitely not want to go over.
Even if you can't hear behind closed doors, you can't "out of sight is clean".
"Go back to the East Palace first?" Wang Gouzi pressed the sound and the handlebar road.
The handlebar style only wanted an answer, and didn't want to have a discussion, so he became more and more embarrassed for a while, and raised his chin to the carriage: "Ask?" β
Wang Gouzi didn't want to ask, gritted his teeth and was about to make up his mind, but he heard Li Shao's voice coming from the carriage.
"Not leaving?"
His Royal Highness's tone was not good, so Wang Gouzi had to honestly get into the car first, and asked with his eyes down: "Your Highness, are you going back to the East Palace?" β
"What are you going to do when you go back?" Li Shao asked rhetorically.
Wang Gouzi didn't care about whether Li Shao loved to listen or not: "Then go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites?" β
Sure enough, Li Shao's brows furrowed: "Except for these two places, there is no place to go?" β
Wang Gouzi sneered.
Li Shao himself pondered, and he felt very bored when he thought about it.
If you want to go to the paddock, when he closes his eyes, he still remembers the appearance of the blind bear grinning, even if he knows that he will not be unlucky again, he is still timid in his heart.
In the early morning, the wine shops and teahouses were boring, and there was no suitable place for him to spend time like Chen Mi Hutong.
Thinking like this, he felt that he had been really unlucky this year.
I've never been so boring before......
Yes.
Li Shao suddenly remembered that last winter, he spent a lot of time in the General's Square.
The weather is cold and can't fight the crickets, but the cockfighting is very lively, and the two chickens fight with that ruthlessness, which has a different taste.
After thinking about it, he was about to go, Li Shao said directly: "General's Fang." β
Wang Gouzi's face turned white.
He naturally knew what kind of place the General's Workshop was.
If you want to say that bastards and fish and dragons are mixed, there is only a rich man's business, and there are a lot of people in and out, and there is at least one official in the family who can say a few words in the court; Of course, there are also white bodies, all relying on a rich family background, and the two parties enter the general's workshop, each going their own way and having nothing to do with each other.
There are also those who want to be favored by nobles, and they are trying to find some opportunities to see if they can see their own abilities in Chengdu.
After all, it's such a pastime, and everyone who comes has their own identities, and there are no dead faces, and unless their heads are not clear, no one is looking for trouble in it.
But what kind of serious place is that......
Cockfighting crickets, can it be a good preference? It's just like talking like a flower house gambling house.
Wang Gouzi didn't want the prince to go to the general's workshop, even if he occasionally went to dissipate his temper, but today things are one after another, and the danger is everywhere.
Why don't you go and have a drink!
Wang Gouzi thought so, so he suggested.
"Isn't there any wine in the General's Workshop?" Li Shao asked.
Wang Gouzi wanted to persuade again, but he directly slapped Li Shao with a sideways eye.
"Are you the master or am I the master?" He said coldly, "Where do you have to listen to you?" β
Wang Gouzi saw that he was angry, so he didn't dare to say any more, so Nuo Nuo responded and told the handlebar again.
The horse walked towards the general's place.
It's still morning, and the general's square is not so lively.
The sharp eyes of the chief steward, although he didn't know Li Shao's true identity, he could see this nobleman, and he remembered that he had been here a few times last year and had a generous shot.
After bringing the people in, they went to the private room, and as they went, the chief steward muttered in his heart.
The battle of the distinguished guests is smaller than last year, and last year there were two more guards.
It doesn't seem to be the current one who served around me before, but they should all be from the palace, and those who have gone to the root are different from ordinary men, and those with sharp eyes can see it.
And those who can let the eunuchs serve with them are not much lower.
It was precisely this speculation that saw that Li Shao looked like he was in a bad mood and wanted to have fun, so the steward immediately arranged it.
"It only started in the afternoon," said the chief steward, "if you want to see it, then let them fight." The window here has the best view, and the ring is below, so you can see it clearly. β
Li Shao bowed.
The matter has come to this point, and Wang Gouzi did not persuade again, first, he could not persuade him, and secondly, he was afraid that the persuasion would be counterproductive, and His Highness was even more angry.
It's better to just watch the cockfight for a while, and the depression will dissipate, and leave before the flow of customers in the general's square in the afternoon, maybe no one will find out.
The two roosters at the bottom were ready to go, and the wine and food in the private room were also served, and Li Shao took the wine cup and stood by the window.
In the sound of the rooster, the rooster looks as if it is about to fly, you come and go, the feathers fly into the sky, and the cold wind blows and swirls.
Li Shao couldn't take his eyes off it, he didn't care about using the dishes, he only ate wine one by one, and even thought that Wang Gouzi was slow to add wine, so he took the wine jug and added it himself.
Wang Gouzi guarded honestly, his ears hurt from the rooster's crow, and he sighed again and again in his heart, and he could only comfort himself over and over again: His Highness seems to be in a better mood.
It's just that Li Shao, who seems to be in a better mood, has no intention of leaving at all.
The two chickens at the bottom are worthy of being specially picked out by the steward to please the guests, not only heroic, but also evenly matched, attacking quickly and defending, stopping from time to time to observe and pacing, and fighting until nearly noon has not yet been decided.
Such a fierce battle naturally spread out, it should have been a good show to open a bank bet during the last cockfight a year ago, I didn't want to stage it in advance today, and I was a little dissatisfied with the general fang for a while without prior notice, and I didn't want to really miss such a fierce battle.
I didn't see the beginning, and I didn't get the result of the fight, especially when I got to the place, the two chickens were still jumping around, and they looked like they could fight for another two or three quarters of an hour, or even half an hour, and they were all energetic.
After a while, the general's square became lively, and the voices of the people were boiling, cheering up the chickens.
Wang Gouzi became even more noisy when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand to cover his ears.
Li Shao is very tasteful.
Cockfighting, it's going to be so lively, the cockfighting is good-looking, and the cheering is not less.
After he ate the wine, his whole body was hot, and his depression did dissipate a lot, and even the addiction to alcohol came up, and he wanted another pot after drinking it.
In this place, since the general fang is a distinguished business, the wine business is much more expensive than the ordinary wine shops outside, but Li Shao is not the master who can't afford to spend money at first glance, so the steward simply sent six pots and put them on the table, saying "Drink as much as you want".
Li Shao didn't care about this little thing, and when he was in good spirits, he didn't think about whether he would drink too much.
The two roosters fought for another two quarters of an hour, one pecked at his left feather, the other with his neck pecked, and blood beads dripping from the ring, and a lot of loose feathers.
At this moment, it is already red-eyed, and it has come to a critical juncture, the fierce is fierce, and it also reveals a bit of exhaustion, and after another round of exploits, it finally ends with the black chicken defeating the flower chicken.
Some people cheered, some sighed, some scolded, and everyone was still unsatisfied, urging the steward to start another game.
The steward knew that today's opening for the distinguished guests of the private room made the other guests have quite opinions, which was not only an apology, but also a way to make money, so people quickly cleaned up the ring and set up another game.
The two players who are good at fighting in this game are also good, just look at the posture.
The spectators became more and more lively, and their blood was agitated, and Li Shao drank several glasses of wine in succession, and his eyes and neck were flushed.
This game still did not disappoint, the first quarter of an hour around the trial, slowly fierce to the end, flying into the air, wings up, fierce extraordinary.
The already high interest of the spectators became stronger and stronger, and the cheers continued.
And Li Shao shook his head with the wine glass: "Mustard feather Zhang Jinyuan, even the battle is colorful." From day to day, it is still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. β
Wang Gouzi looked at Li Shao when he heard the sound.
He actually didn't fully understand every word of this poem, but he thought that this poem would not be from the prince's view of cockfighting, but if you want to say which person this poem came from, I really don't know with Wang Gouzi's little foundation.
He just felt that if the real fight was going on, His Highness would spend a whole day in the General's Workshop......
It's hard to explain.
Whether it is to Guo Gonggong or Cao Gonggong, or the master, he is not easy to explain.
What can I do?
Wang Gouzi's toothache was tight, and he looked out of the window with a hard head, but he didn't expect to see the big white-feathered rooster that was flying up and was about to beak at his opponent suddenly stiffened, as if he suddenly lost his strength, and fell down with a bang.
Wang Gouzi's eyes widened.
This chicken, falling?
What's the situation?!
Li Shao was also stunned, looking at the ring below in disbelief.
I saw that the white feather was lying motionless on the ground, and the other one was startled at first, and he was afraid of fraud so he didn't step forward immediately, at this time he seemed to react, and when he saw that the opponent couldn't resist, he went up to chase after him, screaming and slapping and pecking.
The spectators were in an uproar, and they were watching the excitement, why was it like this?
What a disappointment! How can you be so unhappy?!
In the midst of the discussion, several stewards guarding the ring came back to their senses and grabbed the one that was pursuing, but they were also pecked several times by the chicken on the top of the fight.
Another man went to look at the motionless one, the white feathers dyed red, lifeless, and apparently dead.
"Broken neck." He picked up the white feather and said to the chief steward.
A visitor approached and hurriedly said, "I seem to see something flying over and hitting the chicken's neck." β
As soon as the words fell, there was even more uproar.
The chief steward came to inspect with a gloomy face, and sure enough, he found a stone on the ground, small and red with blood.
Before the opening, they carefully swept the ring, and it was impossible to leave a stone, which was clearly thrown by someone and aimed at killing chickens.
This......
Did they mess with someone in the military workshop who shouldn't be messed with?
"It looks like it's coming from that side." Someone pointed to the small building on the east side.
The chief steward looked pale.
The people who could be arranged in that small building were all nobles, and the noble guest with the eunuch was also upstairs, and Rao had a background in the general's workshop, so they didn't dare to go to their people casually to ask the former master about the crime.
After this situation, it seems that he can only consider himself unlucky, and quickly pacify the other guests first.
"Yaxing, who disturbed the distinguished guests, was really offended and offended, so this, this will arrange another ......"
Before the words were finished, many people couldn't listen anymore.
The people who can come here have always had their eyes on the top of their heads, and you and I will talk about it.
"Obviously someone did it, but your general's fang is vegetarian today?"
"Arrange another one? Someone broke the chicken's neck again? β
"Who is sitting upstairs so cowardly and cautious? Dare to offend us, dare not offend him? β
"It's bad for your business on your territory, and you want us who spend money to watch cockfights also swallow our anger?"
"Come on, come on, if you don't report to the official, I'll report to the official for you, don't say anything about making money in a friendly way, and if you procrastinate, I'll tell you to break your fortune every day!"
Where can the stewards stop it?
Even if the nurses came, they didn't dare to do anything with these guests, after all, they just wanted to report to the official, and they guarded the small building on the east side to prevent the people inside from leaving, and they didn't act excessively.
Besides, the guests in the small building also seemed to want to see the excitement, and wanted to know who knocked Bai Yu down from the air with a stone, and they didn't rush to leave.
Only Wang Gouzi stood in the private room, and almost didn't come up in one breath.
Report to the officer? Even want to report to the official? As soon as Shuntianfu came, Wang Gouzi really felt tightness when he thought of Shan Fu Yin's face.
When Bai Yu had an accident just now, he felt that things were not good, and wanted to urge His Highness to leave, but His Highness didn't want to leave.
Li Shao drank too much and was a little drunk, and he was disturbed and dissatisfied.
Wang Gouzi wanted to help him, but Li Shao swung away hard, but he was drunk and dizzy, and his calf hit the stool hard.
Because of the drunkenness, he didn't feel much pain, but it was really not painless, and seeing that he was stumbling even more when he walked, Wang Gouzi didn't dare to let Li Shao go anymore.
In case you don't get steady, roll down the stairs......
But when he thought that Shan Shen was coming, Wang Gouzi wiped his face, it was really better for him to get down by himself!
The cockfight did not last until the end of the day, and his days were afraid that it was really dark.
The general was waiting for Shuntianfu in the workshop, but he thought that the murderer was surrounded in a small building, and no one knew that the real murderer had already run away.
A stone shot, before the crowd could react, the man had already come down from the upper floor, mixed in, and after agitating the officer, he stepped back again, and when everyone was paying attention to the small building, he unconsciously went around the area farther and farther away, and finally jumped away from the north wall of the general's square.
This person is none other than Xuansu.
When Li Shao left the Fuguo Mansion, Xuan Su followed.
Last year, he followed Li Shao to the General's Workshop, and was very familiar with the terrain, and found that Li Shao drank a lot, and after the workshop became more and more lively, he shot down a cockfight.
Xuan Su unhurriedly went back to the gate of the General's Fang, and didn't wait long before he saw Master Shan with people and hurriedly came.
Shan Shen stretched his face, his steps were fast, and it could be seen that he was in an irritable mood.
Xuan Su saw it in his eyes, raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose.
It's hard for Master Shan again.
I'll send him some snacks next time......
Mustard feather Zhang Jin distance, even the battle is colorful. From day to day, it is still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. ββEastern Han Dynasty Ying Ling's "Cockfighting Poems"
