Chapter 85: Jiang Qi Robs His Relatives (1)
With Tian Feng's eyes, Liu Hong knew what was going on, and he couldn't be clearer about the battle among these officials. Listening to Tian Feng's words, when Liu Hong considered Jiang Qi's military power, his anger was half gone, and he didn't want to pursue it anymore, so he asked casually: "What did Jiang Aiqing give?" β
Seeing that Liu Hong didn't say anything, the corners of Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang's mouths on the side slowly curled, for this master who had served for many years, the two of them had already felt his temper very clearly.
But this move of Zhang and Zhao is different in the eyes of the hundred officials in the palace, those who are close to Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants, of course, have already put Jiang Qi on the opposite side, and as for those who fight against the ten permanent servants, of course, they are ready to accept Jiang Qi as an ally.
Only those loyal ministers who still want to revitalize the new Han are secretly sad, in their hearts, they can't help but blame His Majesty for why he is so arrogant to Zhang Rang and others, can't he see that a young general like Jiang Qi will be the pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future?
Of course, for Liu Hong, who was overjoyed when he watched Jiang Qi send Jin Shan, those worries were just floating clouds, and the Son of Heaven was defeated by his own home, what did he have to do with others.
In the big court, Jiang Qi, who is the general of Zhenbei, did not arrive, but it was just a small episode, and after the court meeting was over, Liu Hong, whose pockets were bulging again, did not have time to be sad about Jiang Qi's matter, and it was the right thing to count the money at this moment.
If you have money, let alone Jiang Qi, even the beauties who linger every day have been left behind by Liu Hong.
As for Jiang Qi, who did not know where to go in the court, he was now outside Pingyang City, hundreds of miles away from the capital. The New Year has arrived, the family is reunited, and although after a year of war, Hedong, which belongs to the prosperous land, is slightly better now.
Compared with usual, because it is the reunion of the family on the first day, many shops and wine bars are closed, and there are very few restaurants still smoking at a glance.
In the only small shop outside the south of Pingyang City, there is a hungry and crazy person right now, working left and right, constantly delivering all kinds of food to his mouth, and in three or two clicks, he sent two catties of beef and ten steamed buns on the table into his mouth, and the three or five customers in the store who looked at the speed were dumbfounded.
However, for Jiang Qi, who has not eaten a drop of rice for two days, he has just eaten half full.
Since Jiang Qi went out of Luoyang that day, he went all the way west to pass the card without staying for half a minute, although each city checkpoint because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, now the pedestrian search is very strict, but when he saw the Zhenbei General Jinpi Ling arrow in Jiang Qi's hand, he quickly and respectfully gave him a release.
As the general of Zhenbei who supervises the three prefectures of You, Merge and Hebei, Jiang Qi's order is absolutely very effective, even if the city is closed, as soon as Jiang Qi's order is opened.
Jiang Qi traveled very smoothly all the way, and finally arrived at his destination Pingyang City at sunset on the afternoon of the first day of the new year after exhausting the two fast horses that had transferred from the Jiangyi Post Station to death on the side of the road.
When Jiang Qi arrived in Pingyang, he looked at the sunset that had not yet set, and couldn't help but thank the wedding ceremony for being held at dusk.
Of course, when looking for Cai Yan, Jiang Qi had to eat a good meal and rest for a while, and for two days he had been galloping on horseback continuously, Jiang Qi was about to fall apart, and he had not eaten any more water, he felt that he should collapse if he didn't eat something, but now that he met the New Year, he found the restaurant that was still open after looking for a long time.
As Jiang Qi swept into the clouds, the young man at the restaurant hurriedly stepped forward with a teapot with a smile on his face and poured a cup, and asked in a low voice, "Is the military master ready, do you want to order something?" β
To be honest, Xiao Er has been working in this small shop for almost a year, and he has never seen such a person who can eat, and he has eaten two catties of beef, a chicken, a leg of mutton, twenty steamed buns, and five bowls of porridge in just half an hour, and the bowls containing various side dishes have been piled up one foot high.
The number of meals, let alone one person, even three people may not be able to eat it all. But there are so many things, under their noses, they are eaten by the young soldiers in front of them, who are not too burly no matter how you look at them.
Jiang Qi picked up the inferior tea on the table, took a shallow sip, and ordered: "No need, just gargle your mouth with half a catty of good wine in the store, I haven't eaten anything for two days, and Iγγγγ'm a little hungry."
"Wait a minute, Master Jun, I'll be here immediately!" After hearing this, the guy nodded with a smile on his face and bowed away, and the guy who came back a moment later had a small jar of wine and two small bowls in his hand. Then there was a middle-aged man who was over forty years old, with gray sideburns and well-dressed.
The shopkeeper surnamed Zhang is the shopkeeper of this small shop, and I saw the shopkeeper surnamed Zhang saluting Jiang Qi, and said with a businessman's smile: "The military master can eat well, and the contemptible person is the shopkeeper of this small shop, surnamed Zhang." β
Jiang Qi returned the salute with a smile, and said with a slight compliment: "It turned out to be shopkeeper Zhang, I didn't expect that shopkeeper Zhang's small shop is not big, this food is quite good, compared to those restaurants in Luoyang!" β
Of course, Jiang Qi's sycophant did not expect the shopkeeper to charge cheaper, as for whether it was really delicious, he didn't taste it seriously, he could eat anything since he was a child living in the mountains, as long as it was cooked.
"Master Jun thinks it's good, come and try the rice wine brewed by my small shop." Shopkeeper Zhang sat down by himself, poured a full bowl for Jiang Qi and then poured another bowl for himself. smiled and raised his glass and said: "The villain respects the military master for a bowl", after speaking, the shopkeeper frowned and drank it all.
Jiang Qi looked at the shopkeeper who drank the wine like eating poison and smiled, and also raised his glass to pour a bowl of wine into his mouth cleanly, the delicate wine crossed his throat, and there was no spicy feeling, but although the wine was not strong, it drove away the cold of the whole body very well, making people feel extremely comfortable.
After a bowl of wine, Jiang Qi couldn't help but say 'good wine', but compared to Jiang Qi's boldness, Shopkeeper Zhang was not so good, and a bowl of wine made him cough again and again.
"Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper?" Jiang Qi smiled and looked at this shopkeeper Zhang who was not good at drinking but pretended to be bold, as the so-called nothing to offer courtesy, either treachery or theft, seeing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help but guess that this shopkeeper Zhang would not be afraid that he would not be able to pay, to be honest, this table of banquet is not five hundred but three hundred baht to eat, and it is enough for a family of three to eat for half a month when it is exchanged for food.
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly put down the wine bowl in his hand and asked, "Hehehe, the old man is presumptuous, dare to ask the military master to conquer the Northern Army?" β
Since Jiang Qi entered this tavern, his dusty uniform has aroused the shopkeeper's idea, although there are many soldiers in Pingyang, and they are all dressed similarly, but at the beginning of the new year, they generally don't go out to eat and drink, so there is this question.
Jiang Qi asked with a smile when he heard this, and at the same time guessed one or two: "The shopkeeper's good eyesight, this can be seen, the shopkeeper has a family member in the army?" β
The shopkeeper was not hypocritical, and asked Jiang Qi to be a soldier of the Northern Army, and immediately asked what he wanted to know: "Hehe, my son did serve in the army, so I looked at the military master and wanted to ask, dare to ask the general if he knew a team leader named Zhang Shun", although he also knew that his son was not a big official, but a team rate also has a name.
Jiang Qi saw that it was a military family, and his attitude naturally became enthusiastic, and he filled a glass of wine for the shopkeeper before saying, "Dare to ask Ling Lang to serve in that battalion?" β
"The military master is polite," Seeing Jiang Qi's movements, the shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly held the bowl and thanked him again and again, and hurriedly said: "Last month, my son had a letter to the family, saying that he and several fellow villagers were working under a general Guan under General Jiang Zhonglang, and I heard that he was the leader of Guangzong. β
"Guangzong, that's possible, after the battle of Guangzong, Jiang Zhonglang will be named General Zhenbei, Marquis of Yiyang, and take over the Northern Army, it seems that Ling Lang should have followed General Jiang very early, and he can be the position of the team leader, it seems that Ling Lang is still literate!"
After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he smiled and drank all the bowls of wine on the table, in the Jiang family's army, he required that the soldiers above the team leader must be able to understand simple information, so he said this.
"Xiao'er has indeed studied in a private school for two years, but that kid is out all day long with a group of people dancing knives and guns, I didn't expect this to become an official." Although the shopkeeper was smiling and scolding, he was proud of having a son in his heart.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi smiled and saluted with both hands and made a congratulatory gesture to the shopkeeper: "Then congratulations to the shopkeeper, I said that Linglang may not become a general that day!" β
"Then the military master has said γγγ," shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly said politely.
"Master Jun, what kind of official are you?" The young man standing on the side listened to the rise and also came up and asked.
Since he was mentioned, Jiang Qi immediately smiled at the young man who was full of curiosity and inquired about things, and said casually: "I, I'm just a cook, not an official, but there are a lot of officials who serve, you know?" There is no one in the tent, from the general to the soldiers, who does not know my horse spoon. β
Jiang Qi with a casual horse spoon is indeed a person, that is the head of his military camp, a man in his thirties from Jizhou, Jiang Qi eats every day The dishes are made by him.
Shopkeeper Zhang listened to Jiang Qi's words, and immediately echoed with a smile: "Haha, no wonder the military master can eat so much, it turns out that they are all peers." β
After laughing, the young man poured wine for Jiang Qi and continued to ask: "Alas, the military master heard that there is a military salary for this Northern Army, right, a cousin of mine has been there for less than a year, and a few days ago he sent back a lot of money, I heard that there is a golden cake!" However, more than 300 people went to Pingyang, and only more than a dozen people sent back money, and the shopkeeper's home only had family letters. β
After listening to the guy's words, Jiang Qi suddenly lost his smile, and then drank the wine, then got up and patted the guy on the shoulder, leaving a sentence without a beginning or an end: "Your brother is a hero." After speaking, Jiang Qi took out the money bag in his arms, took out a piece of horseshoe gold from it, threw it on the seat and turned to leave.
Jiang Qi's big move undoubtedly frightened the shopkeeper: "Hey, military master, military masterγγγγ there are too many, too many!" This γγγγγ", but when he reacted and chased out, there was still a figure.
Xiao Er, who chased him out together, also found that the person was gone, and he was immediately stunned when he looked at the empty official road, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Shopkeeper, this, this is a person or a ghost, why is this going so fast??" β
Listening to Xiao Er's inquiry, the bright horseshoe gold in the hands of the shopkeeper Liang Liang said to himself: "This is a master, what kind of cooking is that, have you ever seen such a generous cook?" β
He has been running a small shop for many years, but he has never seen a person with such a bearing, not only the horseshoe gold, but Jiang Qi's every move just now, which is enough to show that the person who came is not an ordinary person.
"So, what do you mean that my brother is a hero?" The young man scratched his head and said with some incomprehension.
"Maybe you'll understand in two daysγγγ hey, the New Year is here, today the military master left this gold, wait and buy ten catties of meat and one stone of rice to send to your cousin's house!" , According to Jiang Qi's expression, the shopkeeper Zhang, who guessed one or two, patted the shoulder of the guy and said.
After speaking, he sighed shallowly, this may be fate, his son killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, and at the same time, how many young people were buried in other places, and I don't know how many times this young man who went out of Pingyang can come back.
