Chapter 31: The Courage of Fighting the Bull
Shen Yumen went all the way to the west, taking the official road of the main road, a convoy walked slowly on this official road, the wheels rolled away, I don't know how many goods were dragged, and a deep wheel mark was pressed on this dirt road. Shen Yumen saw that there was a group of merchants in front of him, dressed decently, dignified, envious, there was a tea stall in front of him, the merchants were thirsty and waved their hands to stop, and the convoy stopped with the trend, filling this small tea stall.
Shen Yumen came all the way, and he didn't know where he was going, so he stepped forward to inquire: "I don't know where this direction leads?"
The merchant saw that he was white and clean, and he looked like a talented man, but his clothes were ragged, his eyebrows showed murderous aura, and his hands were stained with blood, so he didn't look like a person to be messed with.
The merchant didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't want to say more, so he said: "Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion." β
Shen Yumen frowned, his face was full of sadness, although the merchant didn't know what the reason was, but he thought that there must be something unspeakable, he didn't want to talk, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he asked: "Why is Brother Tai worried?"
Shen Yumen sighed for a long time, bowed his head and was silent, the merchant saw that this guy was strange, afraid that he had bad intentions towards him, and thought: "Could it be that he is a thief who has come to rob money and cut off the road?" But it is not like, who dares to rob money in the official road. I wanted to ask the truth, so as to solve the doubts in my heart, so I asked again and again, Shen Yumen finally couldn't bear it and told the truth: "When I went to Tokyo, I remembered the revenge of killing my brother, I don't know when I will have to take revenge, I am worried at the moment, I have pain in my heart, how can I not be sad and emotional?"
After hearing this, the merchant let down his guard, and deliberately pointed out the maze, that is, he waved his hand again and again, disapproving his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai, if you have the heart to take revenge, you have a clever plan below, I wonder if Brother Tai is willing to allow a few words of nagging?"
Shen Yumen was excited when he heard this, he didn't care about the etiquette posture, grabbed the merchant's shoulders with both hands, and asked urgently: "Listen to me, tell me quickly!"
The merchant broke free, tidied up his clothes, brushed off the dust on his body, looked up at his impatient face, and said with a smile: "Now that the traitor Fang La has been captured and killed, the official family is naturally overjoyed.
Shen Yumen sighed one after another when he heard this, shook his head and said: "It's not good, it's not good, Song Liao has been friends for a hundred years, Xixia is in a corner of peace, and there has been no war in the Quartet for a long time, how can I make meritorious contributions and achieve the cause of my blood pool?"
The merchant bowed his head and was silent, and there was some truth in what he said, so he gave him advice, saying that he was not successful, and he did not adopt a plan one after another, so the merchant sighed and rode on the back of the ox, and arched his hand: "Brother Tai, since this is the case, I can't help a lot in the lower place, so I will see you again!"
As soon as he looked up, he saw that the bull suddenly went crazy, threw the merchant to the ground, raised his front hooves high, and was about to fall and trample! In an instant, Shen Yumen's mind flew around, and he thought: "Can you save it? If you die here, how can you get revenge? If you don't save it, how can you be worthy of this big brother's guidance and charm? If you save him, you're afraid of a bird!" With this in mind, the meteor strode forward! The shoulder slammed into the palm, and the bull's body shook, shaking its head, and its nostrils spewed out a hot breath in front of it. Everyone didn't dare to step forward to help, for fear of affecting themselves, a few bold and strong men stepped forward with steel forks, but unexpectedly, a mistake was kicked to the ground, and a piece of chest was concave, and there was no breath.
Shen Yumen didn't know where he had the courage, strode up to the bull, and shouted: "What a beast!" The words fell, and his hands grabbed the two horns of the bull, and the bull suddenly raised his head to break free, and the horns were pierced in his chest, and the others were taken aback, and their hearts were: "Let's go! Let's die!" Thinking like this, he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Although he had this thought, he didn't hear Shen Yumen's screams for a long time, everyone hurriedly raised their eyes to look, only to see that the horns of the cow were against Shen Yumen's lower abdomen, and he tried his best, the hooves were rubbing out sparks on the ground, but it was still not sharp Shen Yumen had the slightest damage, Shen Yumen shouted, grabbed the horn with his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and the fist shook straight and flashed out of the phantom, bang is three punches! The bull screamed, so painful that he shook his head left and right, Shen Yumen was finally out of strength with him, and this shaking of the head threw him out of the way, slammed into the wall, and fell to the ground fiercely.
Shen Yumen was covered in dust, lying on the ground motionless, and the officials exclaimed: "Dead! It must be dead!" Before he finished speaking, Shen Yumen's fingers trembled, his arms bent to support his body, and a harrier turned over and stood up! This stunned everyone, and before the officials were surprised, Shen Yumen was furious, picked up the steel fork on the ground, and ran away at the bull! With a pop, the steel fork was inserted into the bull's head, and the cow jumped up and down in pain, knocked and kicked over the tea stall, and the hawker was so shocked that he lay on the ground and hugged his head and cried, struggling for a long time and bleeding dry, his strength was exhausted, his breath was exhausted, and he fell to the ground with a bang!
The crowd was dumbfounded, and they all stretched out their thumbs at Shen Yumen, and praised: "Young hero!
Shen Yumen sat on the ground with all his strength, hugged his knees, panting, his clothes were wet with tax, the merchant took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the sweat from his forehead for him, and praised him one after another: "It's simply King Xiang alive! Your Excellency's life-saving grace is unforgettable!" Listening to the businessman praise him, he was happy in his heart, and his mouth was naturally polite, and he smiled: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way!" I met with Mr. Pingshui, if I saw that Mr. was in trouble, I would let it go, how can I be called a man?!"
The merchant was not too dirty, took the handkerchief into his arms, squatted beside him, took out a handkerchief from his arms, offered it with both hands, and said: "Your Excellency has the courage to fight the bull, and you intend to make friends with you, but I must not make a mistake in transporting the goods, so I must not drink and talk with you, it is really a misfortune in the future, if you don't think you will send a thousand yuan, it should be to repay your life-saving grace, I don't know what to do?"
Shen Yumen listened to his praise for his fluttering and Lingyun atmosphere, as if he was leisurely traveling in the world, and thought: "When he says this, if I accept money from him, it will be considered a favor and a good deal, and it will not be worth it! I will definitely make him owe me a personal favor." Although he was down-and-out, he was a little arrogant, and he was put on a high position and refused to accept the salute, so he pushed him with both hands and said, "Don't you look down on me?" As the saying goes: But if you do good deeds, don't ask about the future, how can I accept your money?"
The merchant laughed when he heard this, patted Shen Yumen on the shoulder and said: "The little brother is really temperamental, a hero among people, since this is the case, I am not good at being strong, but ......" The words changed, and then said: "I will give a small gift, but I must not shirk it." β
Shen Yumen let out an "oh" and asked, "I don't know what Mr. gave me?"
The merchant stood up and walked to the side of the pack horse, took out a cloth bag from the cargo box, walked to Shen Yumen's side, and presented this thing.
That line of business: "This dress is famous, the name is Liuhe, embedded with many treasures, ice silkworm silk weaving, three thousand palace E day and night three years made, got a wisp of dragon scales, a handful of phoenix feathers, a pair of jade teeth, all for this clothing accessories, if worn on the body warm in winter and cool in summer, mosquitoes do not disturb, fierce beasts do not invade, water and fire do not enter, evil is not close, let that kind of knife chop axe, do not leave the slightest trace, with it sludge body, wave sleeves and fall, is Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty when the emperor made, by the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, rewarded with the emperor, with the coffin and hidden. β
When the people heard it, they didn't think it was strange, wasn't it just a piece of clothing, and some jewels on it were just expensive to play. But there are knowledgeable merchants who listen to his description, and their complexion turns from red to purple and from purple to white in an instant, knowing its preciousness.
γ»Like thunder and lightning, I froze.
Shen Yumen couldn't believe his ears, his head was like thunder and lightning, the whole person was stunned, or the merchant patted him on the shoulder, only then did he come to his senses, his hands trembled slightly, and he respectfully took the treasure clothes, looking at the treasure clothes The more he looked at them, the more he was happy, the brilliance he saw was compelling, and it was extremely valuable, more than the thousand yuan money, it was a rare treasure with no price, Shen Yumen dared to say a wild word with this treasure clothes, even today's officials may not hold one!
Shen Yumen did not hesitate to put on this treasure robe, but he was really heroic and sleek, and he was full of energy, what a handsome man! The merchant also nodded when he saw it, and said with a smile: "In the past, there was a treasure knife for heroes, and now I have Pang De to give a treasure robe, which can be regarded as a good story." Saying that, he squinted at Shen Yumen, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.
Shen Yumen won people's treasures, and called him a brother and a brother, and listened to others report their own door, if he refused to tell him, he would seem to be a little family, turned around and bowed deeply to Pang De, and said: "In Shen Yumen, it is a person from Luoyue Mountain near Xunyang County, who has ...... It is not a glorious thing to fall into the grass. β
Pound laughed and said, "I'm forty-three this year, and seeing that you are not yet old, let me call you a little brother." You don't know, I'm ......" Speaking of this, looking left and right, there seemed to be people around who were not convenient to speak, turned sideways to the pack horse and made a gesture of please, and said: "Little brother, if you don't like it, how about my brother send you to Tokyo?"
Shen Yumen was naturally happy, followed behind the people and got on the pack horse, and walked for a while when there was no one around, and then said: "I am Taishi Cai's account keeper, this time escorting this Hua Shigang to Tokyo, the treasure clothes you are wearing are the ...... I dug from a farmer's ancestral grave" The eyes were shyly staring around, for fear that others would hear.
Shen Yumen has been doing business since he was a child, where did this clothes come from, he didn't care, listening to what Pound said, he had to think more, he had heard for a long time that Meng Kang and Cai Jing were righteous father and son, thinking that Pound and the Meng family had a deep relationship, and intended to investigate, but he was afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending Tang Abruptly, so he pondered carefully in his heart: "If this person has a very good relationship with the Meng family, I will miss my mouth this time, so I will pretend to take refuge and take a few sincere ......words from him."
Shen Yumen said with a smile: "Brother Pang, I have heard for a long time that the Meng family and Taishi Cai have a father-son relationship, and the younger brother intends to take refuge in Mengmen, I don't know if I can seal it?"
Pang De snorted and said disdainfully: "What kind of thing is he?! The little business he does is all small money, to put it crazy, he is just a dog of my Cai family!"
In his words, he seemed to be extremely incompatible with the Meng family, and the words after that were easy to say. Shen Yumen pretended to be frightened, hurriedly covered Pang De's mouth and nose, and said: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense! This Meng family covers the sky with one hand......
Pang De ripped Shen Yumen's hand off and scolded: "What kind of thing is he Meng Kang? Over the years, he has saved some money by relying on the Taishi, but he has only earned an imaginary number, if you really want to say that the gold and silver are soft, or my brother and I will make more!"
Shen Yumen asked, "This Meng Mansion property is about ...... About a million?"
Pound laughed and said: "How can there be so many, at most five or six hundred thousand, this million is a fictitious head, all the property and land are sold, and the slaves are returned, just barely scraping together millions of guan, you listen to those people talking nonsense, millions of guan? Hmph, it's just hearsay!"
Shen Yumen nodded, had a plan, and then led the conversation: "Brother, I heard you say this, and I will tell my brother the truth." Pound De was furious when he heard this, and reprimanded: "He Meng Kang is just a dog of my Cai family, dare to be so presumptuous? Brother will definitely help you in this matter, you can rest assured, there is Tokyo ahead, you and I will go into the city to fill the food and clothing." When he entered the city, Pound bought him a few suitable clothes, invited him to eat and drink in the alum building, the first of the seventy-two restaurants in Tokyo, and invited famous courtesans to entertain him......
