【Volume 2 Land of Ruins】 Chapter 160: Chen Tuo's Name
I saw Chen Tuo pacing out of the teahouse, followed by the green.
As for the three officials inside, their faces were flushed, their bodies could not move at all, and cold sweat soaked their clothes.
Just now, when the young man in front of them got up and they wanted to stretch out their hands to stop it, a powerful aura pressed on them, making their souls tremble, and their bodies were like Mount Tai pressing on the top, which was unbearable.
It wasn't until Chen Tuo walked out of the door of the teahouse that the pressure disappeared, and at this time, they collapsed to the ground.
"Who are you?" the Eagle Claw King raised his eyebrows, and his cold gaze swept towards Chen Tuo.
"You're questioning me?!"
Chen Tuo's voice sank, and a powerful and invisible aura rushed directly towards the Eagle Claw King.
The Talon King's face changed in horror, but before he could react, his throat was sweet, blood spurted wildly from his mouth, and then the whole person flew out.
"This ...... How is that possible? ......?"
The Eagle Claw King sat on the ground without any image, his face was as white as snow, and his eyes were full of deep shock, the other party could seriously injure him with his qi, this strength was unimaginable.
To be able to have such strength, this is probably an encounter with a legendary spirit, right!?
Inside the carriage.
Cao Gong is a seventy-year-old man with a mighty face, but at this time, his face is not very good-looking, because he heard Chen Tuo's voice.
Who Chen Tuo is, everyone knows it among the high-level officials in the entire southern country.
His origin is mysterious, one person saved the southern country in the turbulent tide, one person broke the Rong country, and the country of Laosh and the Great Wei Kingdom, which is not an amazing move.
Yes.
He remembered.
Chen Tuo once had a subordinate named Luohan, and later it seemed that he went to the side with Yanshan.
Also, didn't Chen Tuo disappear for half a year? It is said that he left the southern country, why did he suddenly appear here now.
Unexpectedly, such a coincidence, they all collided here, and there were 'sparks'.
With his Cao Gong's current power in the southern kingdom, even the other two who are also the third dukes, he can directly ignore them, but only Chen Tuo.
This is someone he categorically cannot provoke, and absolutely cannot provoke.
Just now, when he heard Chen Tuo's voice, he wanted to stop the Eagle Claw King, but it was too late.
At this time, it was difficult for Cao Gong to ride a tiger.
But now, in this situation, he has to come forward again, because everyone knows that it is him Cao Gong who is in the carriage.
Cao Gong couldn't care so much at this time, so he directly lifted the curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and arched his hand to Chen Tuo: "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Master Chen Tuo here." ”
Chen Tuo directly ignored Cao Gong's polite words, and said coldly: "Lord Cao Gong, just now you said that you want to destroy my people, right?"
Facing Chen Tuo's almost questioning words, a touch of embarrassment flashed on Cao Gong's old face, how could he have been treated like this, but the person in front of him was Chen Tuo, even His Majesty the King of the South was a person who treated him politely, so he naturally couldn't be angry.
and did not dare to be angry.
He smiled and said, "Where is it? General Luo has broken the law, and the old man is only acting in accordance with the laws of the Southern Kingdom, as long as General Luo cooperates with us, we will not hurt General Luo in the slightest until we investigate this matter." ”
"Hehe, then I'm going to ask, General Luo, what kind of law did he commit?
The old man also happened to be passing by here, and he heard that there were people making trouble here, and the old man was concerned about the safety of the people, so he rushed over. ”
"I've been here and I know best. General Luo didn't make trouble, only Cao Chong of the Cao family made trouble, your eldest nephew of Cao Chong, who molested a girl from a good family on the street. And it is said that he also ordered his subordinates to kill someone's grandfather. The Cao family in Tian'an County is so domineering, it seems that you have contributed a lot!" Chen Tuo sneered, not intending to give Cao Gong, a powerful figure in the south, any face.
"This ......"
For Chen Tuo's ruthless and direct words, Cao Gong was a little dumb.
He naturally knew his eldest nephew's temperament, and he did nothing less to do anything tyrannical, but he was always carried by his uncle before, but now, Cao Chong directly hit Chen Tuo's muzzle, which made him not speak for a while, and it was difficult to argue.
Moreover, Chen Tuo splashed this dirty water on him vigorously on the street, which made Cao Gong feel a little angry, but this is impossible to admit.
Otherwise, if this matter reaches His Majesty King Nan, it will definitely be a heavy blow to his career. You must know that today's King Nan is a diligent and loving king, and he can't tolerate officials doing this kind of oppression of the people, let alone causing death.
He slightly restrained his different colors, and said: "Cao Chong is indeed my eldest nephew, but the old man will not bend the law for personal gain, the old man will definitely find out about this matter, if the facts are indeed as Lord Chen Tuo said, the old man will definitely not spare Cao Chong." ”
"Lord Cao Gong is really honest and honest, but there is no need for Cao Gong to worry about this matter!"
Just when Cao Gong thought that Chen Tuo was relieved, Chen Tuo said: "I will present this matter to His Majesty King Nan, and His Majesty will naturally send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and those who break the law will be severely punished according to the law, so that Lord Cao Gong will not worry!"
"Lord Chen Tuo, His Majesty the King of the South is busy with official affairs and has every opportunity, and he should take state affairs as the priority, such a trivial matter, I don't think there is any need to alarm Your Majesty in this matter, the old man, as a courtier, should share his worries for His Majesty. The old man will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone justice. ”
Cao Gong's heart jumped, if Chen Tuo reported this matter to the King of the South and investigated it thoroughly, then the Cao family in Tian'an County would definitely be purged, and even he would be implicated because of this.
He wants to take over the thorough investigation, and with his power, there is still an absolute chance of redemption.
But obviously, Chen Tuo would not let him be satisfied: "Lord Cao Gong, this is a major matter of people's livelihood, how can it be a small matter, the affairs of the people are a major matter, presumably His Majesty King Nan thinks the same." Besides, Cao Gong has a blood relationship with the Cao family in Tian'an County, so it is better for Cao Gong not to interfere in this matter. ”
His attitude was very resolute, without the slightest hint of mercy, and even when it came to the back, Chen Tuo's tone already had a warning in his tone.
"Lord Chen......"
Cao Gong wanted to say something more, but Chen Tuo directly interrupted him: "Lord Cao Gong, you don't do anything now, this is your best choice." ”
Chen Tuo turned his head to Luo Fatzi and said, "Fatty, you go back to Nandu quickly and report this matter to Your Majesty! I'm waiting for your good news here." ”
"Yes!"
Luo Fatzi answered, and immediately rode away.
Chen Tuo looked at Cao Gong with a sad face and said, "Lord Cao Gong, you see that the weather is hot, since we met here by such a coincidence, why don't we go to the teahouse and have a drink." ”
Cao Gong declined Chen Tuo's invitation, where does he still have time to drink tea here, he found an excuse and left.
He had to find a way to rescue the Cao family in Tian'an County.
Strictly speaking, it is to rescue Cao Chong.
On the streets of Tian'an County, with the departure of Cao Gong's motorcade, the onlookers were completely noisy.
This is definitely big news.
The handsome young man in front of him turned out to be the one who saved the southern country from fire and water.
It is not far from the south, and some people have seen Chen Tuo's true face, which makes some of Chen Tuo's portraits circulated among the people, although the portrait versions are different and difficult to identify, but they have just heard the conversation between Cao Gong and Chen Tuo, and that attitude.
Soon, everyone learned Chen Tuo's identity.
Many people were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time clapped their hands and applauded, this time the Cao family in Tian'an County kicked such an iron plate, but if they were unlucky, even Cao Gong might not be able to finish eating and walking.
No, Cao Gong, isn't it already a prairie fire!
The Liu Zhutou who stayed behind was an official errand, but he really couldn't say it.
The Buddha who was 'innocent' offended by himself was too big, even the king of the southern kingdom respected him, let alone a Cao Gong.
Didn't you see that Cao Gong was so 'sprayed' that he didn't even dare to put a fart?
Liu Zhutou opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak.
What could he say?
Justification?
Come forward and apologize?
It was all to no avail.
looked at the back of Chen Tuo and the others gradually walking back to the teahouse.
Liu Zhutou sighed slightly, and then led his subordinates and left with the fainting Steward Cao in embarrassment.
Now he can only pin himself on himself as just an executive order, a small head catcher, an insignificant little person, Chen Tuo will ignore his existence and let him go.
"It turns out that you are so powerful, you are the person who is rumored!" Lu Yin followed behind, Shui Ling's eyes blinked, looking Chen Tuo up and down.
She didn't stay away because Chen Tuo was the rumored person, but was more curious.
"A few distinguished guests, please come here, I will serve you the best tea!" At this time, the teahouse shopkeeper walked out of the corner and greeted him very politely.
Just now, he witnessed everything that happened outside and learned Chen Tuo's identity.
"No need, just the tea just now, just refresh the pot!" Chen Tuo said.
"How can those coarse teas be worthy of your noble status, I have a collection of good tea here, wait a while!" said the teahouse shopkeeper, and walked quickly to the back of the car.
Soon, he brought a small gray and black package.
The package looks very old.
The teahouse shopkeeper's love is like a treasure, and it is gently placed on the table.
Seeing that the store was so precious, Chen Tuo and the three of them were a little curious about the so-called 'good tea'.
The package was opened layer by layer, and more than ten layers had been peeled off, but it was not the end, and the extent of this package was enough to make the three people watching on the side dumbfounded.
At the same time, I was more curious.
What kind of 'good tea' is it that makes a store so valuable.
When the package was peeled off for more than 20 layers, the tea leaves inside were finally revealed, and the amount inside was not much, and after the packaging was removed, it was only three or four taels.
It was a child's palm-sized, black-and-yellow leaf with a white mold-like substance on the surface.
You can even smell the smell of decay in the air.
The trio was dumbfounded.
"Boss, is this what you call 'good tea'? How long has this been moldy?" Lu Yin looked at the teahouse shop with a look of disbelief.
Chen Tuo and Broken Mountain also looked at him blankly.
The teahouse shopkeeper said: "This is the tea handed down from my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, although it is old, and it even looks like a broken tea leaf, but I tell you, this is its specialty, so it also has a special name - moldy tea!"
"Well, forget it, this tea, you can keep it and drink it slowly, don't let us spoil it!" Chen Tuo said, he is more willing to drink Longjing and Oolong just now than to drink this moldy tea......
"Yes, boss, this is too precious, just a little bit, you can treasure it, continue to pass it on to your children and grandchildren, it is also an heirloom, it can't be wasted like this, we don't have a high taste, just drink some coarse tea......" Lu Yin also said.
"Ahem...... I'll just drink Longjing!"
"Master Chen Tuo, how can I say it, you are also the history of my teahouse, I can't lose my courtesy, this is also the ancestral training left by my ancestors, otherwise, even if I go to see my ancestors in the future, I will have to be scolded by them. The teahouse shopkeeper said very seriously.
Chen Tuo rolled his eyes, and this kind of ancestral training?
At this time, the teahouse shop on the side had already begun to fiddle.
Strange to say, as the tea leaves are soaked in hot water, they begin to emit a fragrant smell.
After some operation, the store quickly made a pot of tea.
"Is this really the tea brewed from the moldy tea just now?" Smelling the fragrant smell, the three of them looked surprised.
However, thinking of the moldy and rotten appearance of the tea just now, the three of them suddenly had no desire to drink it.
Looking at the eyes of the three of them, the teahouse owner was also very helpless, and he regretted that he had just displayed the tea leaves.
If they hadn't seen the tea before it was brewed, they might have drunk it.
But now, apparently, it is not possible.
But the teahouse shopkeeper still asked, "Lord Chen Tuo, this moldy tea is the best in tea, don't you really try it?"
"Thank you very much for the kindness of the store, we don't need it!" Chen Tuo responded, picked up the Longjing tea in his hand and said, "I still think this is delicious!"
Chen Tuo and the three had no intention, and the teahouse shopkeeper was not easy to continue to persuade.
After all, even if it is a thank-you, it has to have a degree, and since others don't accept it, it's not easy to be strong.
"Good tea, good tea!"
The teahouse shopkeeper tasted the moldy tea by himself, and from time to time he exclaimed, and the appearance was very similar to drinking Xianqiong * jelly.
