Chapter 113: The restaurant was burglarized
Linjiang Mansion Wangjiang Building rises according to the river, its pavilion is tall and magnificent Beique Zhu Palace, the people who move to the guest house chant poems here, the calligraphers of the past dynasties leave the ink treasure, it is to the reputation of Wangjiang Tower, and the people who come here are endless. On this day, Xiao Er was greeting passing guests in front of the restaurant, and an old man with messy hair and tattered clothes leaned on the railing of the restaurant. His eye sockets were deep and sunken, and there was a hint of grief in his cloudy eyes. At this moment, he was watching the giant high-rollers who were rushing in without squinting.
Xiao Er glanced back at him, then spat on the ground, cursing and gesturing at the old man. The old man silently moved his steps back, staring at the restaurant with a fixed gaze. Xiao Er poked him with his hand, and then turned to greet the guest.
At this time, a boy dressed in a jade and gold silk robe and wearing a cigarette hat walked towards the restaurant with a birdcage in his hand. Xiao Er smiled all over his face and bent down to salute him again and again. Childe snorted, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and threw it on his body. Childe was followed by a thin, sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked servant. The servant was carrying the mountain vegetables and wild herbs in his hand, and he walked up to Xiao Er's side and said, "You take this to the kitchen for me, and tell the cooks to make a good pot of soup and simmer it slowly." Remember, this is a lot of money to buy to nourish qi and blood, if you stew it badly, be careful that I will tear down your shop. ”
Xiao Er reached out and took the ingredients, and agreed with a hippie smile. The old man, who had been peeping around the corner before, suddenly flashed by, his steps fluttering and agile, with a agility that was extremely incommensurate with his age. Xiao Er and the servant only saw the figure flickering in front of them for a moment, and then disappeared suddenly. When they came to their senses, the game in their hands had already disappeared.
The servants scolded again and again, and Xiao Er also tended to shout, and after a while, more than a dozen servants rushed out of the restaurant. With a wave of the second hand, the servants were ordered to chase after the old man. The crowd of onlookers was not a big deal to see the excitement, and one of them showed Xiao Er the direction of the old man's escape, and Xiao Er and the others chased after him like a whirlwind.
The old man walked quickly for a while, and he felt that he couldn't continue to catch up, and Xiao Er led the crowd to approach, and he ran into a dead end in a panic. The little second-hand shovel drove the old man into the depths of the alley, and the old man was desperate to the extreme, he really had the feeling that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Xiao Er grabbed him closely, picked him up and took him back to the restaurant.
When the servant saw that Xiao Er had caught the thief back, he didn't say a word, stepped forward and opened the bow left and right with both hands, and gave the old man two slaps. While fighting, the bad words are added. The old man was humiliated, grabbed the servant's arm with both hands, made a move to catch the moon in his arms, and threw the servant out. The servant lay on his back on the ground, covering his bruised face, and splashed.
The son, who had entered the restaurant earlier, immediately turned back after hearing the noise outside. He shouted from outside the crowd, and the frightened people made way. Childe came to the old man's side, raised his foot and kicked him in the heart. The old man grabbed his feet with both hands, made a move of the golden bull to hit the door, and hit the child's lower abdomen with his shoulder and elbow.
The son sat on the ground with his stomach covered, Xiao Er saw this, and walked in front of the old man with a gloomy face, he bared his fangs and said to the old man: "Now you have a big deal, and you dare to fight the son of Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War." As soon as his voice fell,
Yibiao rode quickly from the corner of the street. When Childe saw that the family was coming, his face was immediately covered with gloomy clouds,
Childe pointed to the old man and said to the general: "It's this old immortal who robbed me of my ingredients and beat me." ”
As soon as the lieutenant heard the son's complaint, he turned over and dismounted, and whipped the old man a few times with a horsewhip in his hand. At this time, the old man was humiliated, but there was no perverse air in his eyes, and a flattering smile appeared on his face.
When the captain saw the old man's charming face, his face became even more angry, and he kicked the old man's waist and eyes. Then he ordered the soldiers around him to tie up the old man and escort him away. The old man's knees immediately went limp, and he kowtowed to his son again and again, regardless of everyone's eyes.
Liu Gongzi is not a good man and a woman, the old man has disgraced him in public, how can he give up. After the general helped him up, Liu Gongzi tilted his head and squinted his eyes and turned around behind the old man. He said to the old man in a vicious voice: "Where is your arrogant and smug energy just now? Old thing, it is a dream to want this son to stop here. I'm going to send you to the government and let Governor Chen convict you of a crime. ”
The old man threw himself to the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and he told Liu Gongzi that he was Zhao Zhuolong, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang. As soon as Liu Gongzi heard his words, his eyes rolled strangely. He said to the people who were watching the excitement: "It turns out that this person is a reckless rogue, no wonder he is so tyrannical and fierce. Now that he has been captured by his son, he has also caused a great harm to the local government. ”
Zhao Zhuolong never expected that the Giant Whale Gang would be so penniless in the eyes of outsiders. He wanted to raise his own value and seek Liu Gongzi's side, but he didn't want to exhaust the organs, so he ended up in prison.
Liu Gongzi ordered the sergeant to tie Zhao Zhuolong to the horse and parade through the streets to humiliate him, and then directly pushed him into the prefect's yamen. When Liu Zhutou saw Liu Gongzi coming, his face was full of smiles, and Liu Gongzi did not buy his account. He was rampaging in the palace, as if he had entered a no-man's land. His loud noise made Liu Zhutou tremble. Liu Zhutou told Liu Gongzi in a trembling tone that Lord Chen was receiving distinguished guests.
As soon as Liu Zhutou's words fell, Liu Gongzi stepped forward and grabbed his clothes, and he opened his eyebrows and said to Liu Zhutou: "Are you looking down on people with dog eyes? With that, he pushed Liu Zhu's head forward and asked him to lead the way to the prefect.
Liu Zhu looked bitter on his head, and reluctantly introduced Liu Gongzi into the inner hall. Governor Chen saw that Liu Zhutou did not get his permission, so he trespassed in. When he was about to break out into a thunderous rage, he saw Liu Gongzi behind Liu Zhutou. Governor Chen immediately became pleasant, and after he asked Liu Gongzi about his intentions, he motioned for him to wait outside the hall for a while, turned around and walked into the inner hall again, and whispered a few words to a man dressed in black inside.
Governor Chen invited Liu Gongzi into the inner hall, and ordered Liu Zhutou to take care of the prisoners, Liu Zhutou nodded and promised, and escorted Zhao Zhuolong out. Liu Gongzi carefully looked at the appearance of the man in black, his long eagle eyebrows were upside down, and his wolf eyes were wide.
The thin one-line eyebrows are as indifferent as smoke, the miserable white moth face is lifeless, and the whole person looks like a cold stone sculpture.
The man in black saw Liu Gongzi staring at him, his head twisted mechanically, and a cold light reflected in his deep eyes. Liu Gongzi made eye contact with him, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. The sharp eyes of the man in black seemed to penetrate his body and peek into his heart. The corners of Liu Gongzi's mouth frowned slightly, and a miserable smile appeared on his face. The man in black pulled his arms into his arms and slowly closed his eyes.
In just a moment, Liu Gongzi felt an invisible sense of oppression. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and silently flashed to the side. After the prefect Chen assigned an errand, he returned to the inner hall with light steps.
Seeing that there was silence in the room, he immediately said with a smile: "Liu Gongzi, you came just in time, let me introduce you to the adult in front of you." ”
Liu Gongzi followed Chen Zhifu to the front of the man in black, and Chen Zhifu introduced him: "This is the nine-thousand-year-old love general, Lord Cao Qincheng, the deputy commander of Jinyi Wei." Liu Gongzi kept nodding his head, and Governor Chen was extremely flattering to Cao Qincheng from the side. However, no matter how the two complimented each other, Cao Qincheng's facial expression remained the same. Cao Qincheng's arrogance put the two in an embarrassing situation, and they didn't know what topic to find to break the silence at the moment.
After a while, Cao Qincheng slowly opened his eyes again, and he said in a stiff tone: "Governor Chen, the people I asked you to visit, you have to pay careful attention to me." When he found his traces, he immediately reported them to me. Governor Chen kept nodding. Cao Qincheng glanced at him and was about to turn around and leave. Liu Gongzi didn't know where he got the courage, he shouted at Cao Qincheng's back.
Cao Qincheng stopped to look back, and when Liu Gongzi saw his cold face again, he really wanted to give himself a slap in the face.
This time, Cao Qincheng spoke first, and three words popped out of his mouth coldly: "What's the matter?"
Liu Gongzi accompanied the smiling face and told Cao Qincheng in flattering words that if there was anything he needed to serve, he could just ask. Cao Qincheng nodded indifferently, and he told Liu Gongzi that he was looking for a person named Zhao Zhuolong.
"Zhao Zhuolong?" Liu Gongzi's face showed a look of consternation, and Cao Qincheng saw that he heard the name of "Zhao Zhuolong", and reacted very strongly, so he asked him if he knew this person.
Liu Gongzi didn't dare to hide it, and he told Cao Qincheng about the robbery of the old man in front of Wangjiang Tower. After Cao Qincheng heard this, he learned that Liu Gongzi had escorted the prisoner to the government office, and he immediately informed the Chen Governor to bring the prisoner to him.
Governor Chen asked Liu Zhutou to bring the prisoner into the inner hall, and Cao Qincheng took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Zhao Zhuolong. Cao Qincheng slapped the table and smashed the case, and asked Zhao Zhuolong sharply. Zhao Zhuolong knelt on his knees, facing the angry Cao Qincheng, the panic and grievances in his heart overlapped, and he told the story of the Giant Whale Gang truthfully in a weak tone.
Cao Qincheng scolded Zhao Zhuolong for being stupid, his anger was not weakened by the endless bad words, and Zhao Zhuolong, who was fierce and inward-looking, only increased his chagrin. He asked Governor Chen to put Zhao Zhuolong in prison and strictly investigate and deal with him according to the law.
After Liu Zhutou escorted Zhao Zhuolong away, Cao Qincheng smashed the teacup on the table. He said viciously: "Ma Wanli, the head of the thief, is really haunted, he let him escape from Taihu Lake last time, and now he is openly against this envoy, he is simply impatient." This time, I will personally go to Taihu Lake to encircle and suppress, hang Ma Wanli, Yu San, and Yang Cunyi and then behead them, so as to vent the hatred in my heart. ”
"It is anger that rises from the heart, and evil that grows to the side of the guts. "Cao Qincheng is going to send troops to encircle and suppress the Giant Whale Gang again, and Yang Cunyi, who has just escaped death, is going to experience another catastrophe.
