Section 9 Pour beans into a bamboo tube
Drilling into the ground, fighting, drinking blood, Wei Seventeen tossed and was disgraced, tattered, and similar to the victims lying on the ground and sleeping. He was not in a hurry to find the familiar atmosphere, so he went straight into a mansion, took a dozen or so ingots of gold, returned to Suzaku Street, picked a neat and quiet inn, opened the way with gold ingots, asked for an upper room, ordered Xiao Er to boil hot water for a bath, and went to the ready-to-wear shop to pull a few changes of clothes by the way.
The shopkeeper of the inn is surnamed Miao, who has traveled extensively in Luoyang City, and is also regarded as the No. 1 person, he is a cold bystander, the man has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he is not right, eight out of ten are outlaws, and gold is a stolen goods, which is easy to come and spent well. But the rich one is the uncle, just be careful to serve, he doesn't plan to go to the government, the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, he is doing serious business, it is best to stay out of the matter, don't mix blindly.
Buckets of boiling boiling water were poured into the bathtub, a deep basin one person high, filled with seven or eight points, without mixing a little cold water, Wei Seventeen took off his stripes and jumped into the bathtub, only one head was exposed, Xiao Er bit his fingers and stared, almost thinking that he was dreaming. Is this still human? You don't need such hot water to kill pigs!
The shopkeeper Miao drove Xiao Er out, and his heart became more and more clear, with his two tricks, which was a well-known golden bell cover iron cloth shirt thirteen Taibao practicing children's skills in the rivers and lakes, he became more and more identified with the identity of the other party, and decided not to talk about it.
Wei Qiqi took a comfortable bath, dried his body, put on new clothes, new pants, new socks and new shoes, new from head to toe, Shi Shiran walked into the dining hall and ordered Xiao Er to take care of the good wine and meat.
There was only one table of guests, a scar-faced man, a big horse with a golden knife, one foot on a stool, nibbling on a rabbit's head, smacking spirits, his face was red, and his mouth was humming a little tune, enjoying himself.
Although there is a shortage of food in Luoyang City, as long as you can afford to spend a lot of money, wine and meat are not a problem, and there is no time to move, Wei Qiqi put a pot of fragrant wine in front of him, four kinds of appetizers, beef tendon, leg of mutton, venison, fat chicken, piled up like a small mountain, which makes people red.
The scar-faced man who gnawed on the rabbit's head salivated, stared at it fiercely, took a sip of wine, stared at it a few more times, and took another sip of wine.
Wei Seventeen drank wine and ate meat slowly, and after a while, two gangsters broke into the house outside the door, probed his brain, and came up with his face to talk, Wei Seventeen was in the middle of it, beckoning Xiao Er to add two more dishes and chopsticks, and ordered them to take care of themselves.
The two gangsters are surnamed Zhao and Liu, they are all fake Swen, real villains, and local snakes, Wei Qiqi used wine and meat to cover them, and the two of them ate smoothly, poured beans on the bamboo tube, and told the recent situation and inventory of Luoyang City.
The ground is cracked, the sky collapses, the Central Plains is full of mourning, the Beijing Bianliang has been reduced to a ruin, when today's son happened to lead the civil and military officials to the East China Sea to worship the sky, escaped the catastrophe, but the disaster is not a single line, the ensuing tsunami engulfed the sacrifice platform with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and there were few survivors who survived.
It is said that Xu Tianzi in Xin Yue's two confidants under the protection of the general, the light car Jane rushed to Kunlun Mountain, begging the immortal master to turn the tide, passing through Luoyang, they entered the city to rest for a night, and the next day hurriedly left, no one knows what happened that night, but the Tai Shou Yan and the backbone general Fang Bi gave up the idea of self-reliance, and then died to guard Luoyang for the Son of Heaven, without two hearts.
Luoyang City is lucky, escaped the natural disaster, only the first is left, the problem of people, is always easy to solve, thousands of officers and soldiers in the city are enough to maintain order, no matter how bad, the Xinfeng camp thirty miles east of the city is also stationed tens of thousands of horses, all are battle-hardened veterans, there is Xinfeng Camp in, Luoyang is as safe as Mount Tai.
There are 100,000 people who poured into the city, General Fang sent the veterans of the Xinfeng battalion into the city to suppress them, and temporarily kept to himself, Yan Taishou set a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and gave porridge once every other day, and scattered once in the first month of January, most of the victims could not eat, and they could not die of hunger, and they were faint and weak, and people would not be able to raise their heads against the government if they had a glimmer of hope, after all, those soldiers with knives and guns ate better than them, and if they rebelled, they did not know how many lives they would have to fill in.
However, there are 100,000 victims in the city, and there are countless victims outside the city, the rich families and gentry of Luoyang City are sleepless all night, for fear that one day, the hungry mob will push to the high wall, rush into the house to burn and kill, and plunder, and destroy the family business that has accumulated for several generations, so they united to frequently visit the Taishou and the backbone generals, present antiques and treasures, promise heavy profits, hoping to expel the victims from the city, and strangle the crisis in the cradle, Luoyang is a high city, is a strong city, no matter how many people are affected, after all, it is a rabble, and the moat and city wall can not be solved with bare hands.
The expulsion of the victims from the city made it clear that they would be cut off from life, and Yan Taishou was worried that he would get into trouble and cause the turmoil to break out in advance. Those rich gentry jumped up and down for a while, and they all stopped complaining, no longer petitioning the Taishou Mansion, Yan Keji felt strange, sent his confidants to inquire secretly, and was shocked to find that these days, the number of victims in the city has been decreasing day by day, every night, dozens of people are missing, no one is dead, no corpse is seen, the victims are all rumored, there are monsters infested, eating people like hemp.
There is no need to evict them, there are people who are mutilating the victims, no wonder those rich gentry are silent...... No wonder......
Zhao Liu and the others were drunk, muttering, you say a word to me, what should be said and what should not be said are poured out, making people look sideways, the drunk man is unconscious, the shopkeeper Miao heard them one by one in his ears, some couldn't sit still, stepped forward to comfort a few words, both soft and hard, and persuaded the two helpers away.
Wei Qiqi poured a glass of cold wine and drank it slowly, with a smile on his face, and the shopkeeper Miao said with a smile: "Pour a few cups of yellow soup, chew your tongue blindly, and help the idle with this virtue, don't take it to heart." ”
Wei Qiqi nodded, ordered Xiao Er to serve another portion of wine and meat, finished eating with determination, walked out of the dining hall with his hands behind his back, walked out of the inn, and walked towards Suzaku Street.
The scar-faced man on the side interjected and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is the origin of that man?"
The shopkeeper Miao looked back and saw that it was Ba Laosan from West Street, who brought a pot of bad wine, ordered two braised rabbit heads, and ate a bowl of rotten noodles after the old patron was finished, so he said perfunctorily: "...... who do business and live in the hotel."
Ba Laosan was a little drunk, and said with a big tongue: "Shopkeeper Miao, don't be sloppy, that man is an outlaw ranger, come to this Luoyang City, eighty percent of it is a black and black business, be careful of being implicated by him, and lose the coffin!"
The shopkeeper Miao raised his face and said: "Ba Laosan, you also drank too much, hurry up and eat noodles and go back to lie down on the corpse, what nonsense to say!"
He stared at his eyes and said fiercely, Ba Laosan shuddered, snorted and ate noodles, and ate all the time.
The shopkeeper Miao was disturbed by Ba Laosan's words, he called a clever man, bit his ear and told a few words, and ordered him to go up and stare at the man who lived in the upper room from a distance, where to go.
Ba Laosan looked at it one by one, and he chuckled, quite proud. Shopkeeper Miao glared at him again, took two braised rabbit heads, wrapped them in oiled paper, stuffed them into Ba Laosan's arms, and said impatiently: "You don't have to pay the money, even if I invite you, leave quickly after eating!"
Ba Laosan carried a warm oil paper bag and ran out with a cigarette, for fear that the shopkeeper Miao would regret it. The smugness in his heart, humming the victory order, staggered to find the old friend.
