Chapter 132: The Feast and the Lackeys 2
"There are strange things every year, and there are a lot of them this year. A flat-headed common man also played the game of Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and the purpose is to join my East Factory, big man, do you know what the fate of playing our family is?"
"I know, but the villain has a sincere heart, and the world can learn from it!"
"Really?" Xu Ruyi raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and looked down at the big man kneeling in front of him: "Raise your head and let our family take a closer look!"
"Yes!" the big black man looked up.
'This man ... It doesn't seem that simple. Xu Ruyi said secretly in his heart.
Looks are deceptive, but eyes are not. The eyes of the big man are like copper bells, clear and white, blazing. It's just that Xu Ruyi saw the light of desire and ambition in his eyes.
"Huh. Xu Ruyi chuckled, "A head hit the ground, we don't know your name yet, big man, report your name." ”
"The villain Ji Gang, a martial artist in Linyi, Shandong, has seen the governor!" Ji Gang clenched his fists and replied respectfully.
"Ji Gang... Xu Ruyi's eyes were misty, and he looked at Ji Gang in front of him with some playfulness.
People who know a little about the Ming Dynasty will not have heard of the prestige of the three factories and one guard. If you take a little time to understand it, then some people's famous names will definitely be remembered by them. Wei Zhongxian, Cao Jixiang, Liu Jin, Wang Zhi, Mao Xiang, Jiang Huan, and... Discipline Compendium.
The reputation of these people can be described as demonic, and in a specific era, they are all characters who can stop children crying at night.
Ji Gang, that is, the commander of the Jinyi Guard during the Yongle period of Ming Chengzu in history. Because he joined the army at the time of Zhu Di's martyrdom and performed his military exploits, he was appreciated by Zhu Di. After Zhu Di usurped the throne, he let him lead the Jinyi Guard. Zhu Di was not in the right position, and there were many people in the world who were not convinced, so under Zhu Di's arrangement, Ji Gang became a spy leader who killed people when he stared, and dozens of groups of Jianwen's former ministers were killed, killing 100,000 people. If that's just the case, then Ji Gang is just a knife in Zhu Di's hand, and he can't be regarded as a black-hearted person who holds a knife.
But his glorious deeds after that were different. Under the edict, he took millions of catties of salt from the salt works, and all the gains were put into his own pockets; he framed the rich businessmen of the people and seized their assets; he castrated hundreds of children from good families into the government to serve them; he excluded dissidents and recruited beautiful women, and in the end, he inevitably embarked on the old road of rebellion.
"Your name is really Ji Gang?" Xu Ruyi's expression was a little complicated.
"Uh... Ji Gang on the ground scratched his head in amazement, there seemed to be some other meaning in the words of the Dongchang Admiral, he couldn't understand it for a while, and he could only reply honestly: "Ji Gang doesn't dare to deceive the governor." ”
"Then do you think you're a good person, or a bad person?" Xu Ruyi squatted down and patted Ji Gang's shoulder with a smile.
"The villain... Ji Gangfu was heartfelt and replied softly: "The villain is a bad person, a bad person who is loyal to the governor. ”
"Hahahaha!" Xu Ruyi suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "Okay, good discipline, good discipline, our East Factory is the first to be established, and it is the time to employ people." Since you have called our family out loud today, and said these words again, our family will give you a chance no matter what, and today I am going to have a banquet in Dongchang, a human meat feast! If you are really brave, come together!"
"Duke Xie Du's feast!"
。。。。。。。
"Anyway, there is also a bad fate, so I will leave it to you first, and it is inconvenient for our family to mix. Whispering, Xu Ruyi pushed the door first.
Long....
"It's been a long time, Jing Niang. Yun Zheng's voice was a little shrill and a little hoarse.
Jing Niang was silent.
Yun Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly. originally thought that with the deep hatred and hatred that the two had only seen, how hysterical and heartbroken they should be when they met again after a long absence, but they really met, but they actually said such a sentence.
"You... Are you doing well?" Yun Zheng asked again.
An ordinary greeting, Jing Niang left two lines of tears in her eyes, although she still didn't answer, but in fact, Yun Zheng knew that the other party was not doing well.
Although Jing Niang in her impression is not a country and a city, she is beautiful, but her appearance is still beautiful. Looking at it now, wearing a maid's costume, her delicate hands have become a little rough, and there are a few more fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
In fact, Yun Zheng has sent someone to inquire about Jing Niang's life all along, but she has not seen it with her own eyes.
Jing Niang's life was really not good, and less than half a year after leaving Yun Zheng and coming to Zhang's mansion, she was abandoned by Zhang Gongzi like a clog. In addition, Zhang Million, who is a bit stereotyped, also looked down on her as a woman who did not abide by women's morals, and in the days that followed, she was arranged to be a maid. It's not the kind of servant, but the kind of old mother-like calling. Laundry, cooking, and toilet brushing, she does all the dirty work. In the Zhang Mansion of Nuoda, the two male hosts did not want to see her, and her life can be imagined.
Jing Niang sobbed, Yun Zheng habitually wanted to reach out to wipe it, but her hand was raised in the air, and she put it down again: "Actually, I also know that you are not doing well." I'm doing pretty well, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and I have a little power, and I can give you what you wanted. Not to mention a wealthy businessman who runs a pawnshop, it is those officials and old men, I arrested, beaten, and killed, and it was not one or two. If I used to be the same as I am now, you ... Will you still go?"
"Brother Yun... A soft call came from the sobs.
"If this is who I used to be, then I guess we won't have a chance to meet again. Yun Zheng sighed: "I still remember that afternoon, after I delivered firewood to Master Hou's mansion, I was just about to go out, and I saw you in the small attic. You are so good-looking, I was stunned, you looked at me at the time, as if you were smiling at me, and then I was so confused that I didn't know how to get out of the house. That night, I got my first taste of wine, and I drank a whole jar of wild vegetables on a plate of wild vegetables. When I woke up the next day, my whole body was sore and sore, but my heart was beautiful. ”
"Later, when I had nothing to do, I always sent firewood to your house, and wandered around the wall of your backyard, thinking that one day, you would be able to look at me again through that small window and laugh. But I didn't see you many times, except for the first time, and you didn't smile at me again. It wasn't until I fell while carrying firewood that I saw you smile again. Since then, I've always fallen to the ground when I'm fine, and occasionally hit a tree... ”
"Now that I think about it, those days were really my happiest days, and I can laugh out loud when I walk down the road when I'm fine. ”
"Brother Yun, Jing Niang is sorry for you. As she spoke, the woman knelt in front of Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng didn't see it, and still recalled to himself: "Later, I heard that your father was going to marry you off, and I thought that the fate that you and I only saw was here." I didn't expect you to come over and ask me to take you away that night. In the middle of the night, a little girl of yours ran out of the courtyard of the deep house and came to me through the streets and alleys, at that time I only thought that God had opened his eyes, or that the ancestral grave was smoking, although I didn't even know where my ancestral grave was. ”
"That night, the two of us ran out of the city overnight, all the way to this Nanjing city. I've never touched you along the way, because I know we're two people. I knew that from the first time you picked up that wild vegetable dumpling I gave you and only took a small bite. But I don't know what to do with you. The two of us, helpless, will not have any rich days wherever we go, so we plan to live one day at a time. ”
"Okay, don't knock, it's all bloody. Yun Zheng stretched out his hand to help Jing Niang up from the ground, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on her forehead: "Why are you doing this?"
"Brother Yun," the woman's voice was still as weak as Yun Zheng's memory, so pitiful: "Jing Niang is not sensible, but Jing Niang has never thought of harming you." Really, really not. I don't want to ... ”
"I know, of course I know, my Jing Niang. Yun Zheng looked at Jing Niang in front of him gently: "It's still the same sentence, you and I are not all the way, and never have been, it's my wishful thinking." But at that time, you and I were in that lazy alley, and that happy time always made me feel that maybe you and I could live a lifetime like this. Until that day, I saw you and him roll into bed... ”
The originally gentle gaze was once again stained with a trace of blood with the connection of memories.
"If you really want to leave, just say it, and I won't keep it, but in that scene, I'm also a man. Oh, at least then, I was still a man. A mocking and grim smile emerged: "How can you let me bear it?"
"Brother Yun?!you?!" Jing Niang exclaimed in surprise, looking at her former husband in disbelief.
"Well, no. Yun Zheng nodded easily: "Just the next day, when I went to look for that dog thief theory, I was kicked by him." Sometimes, in the dead of night, I wonder if it would have been better if I hadn't gone to him that day and just left, or died?"
"It wasn't until today that I realized that it was better to go to him. Because I found him, I was deposed, because I was deposed, so I was able to meet the Overseer, because I met the Overseer, I have a chance to be in today... ”
The right palm was raised, and a cold air lingered.
"Get a chance for revenge. ”
The palm fell on the top, the woman's eyes opened suddenly, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on Yun Zheng's face.
Gently kissed the woman's lips, feeling the saltiness in her mouth: "Give you a good time, even if it is the last good that Brother Yun gave you." ”
。。。。。。
There are always many helpless people and helpless things in the world.
Is Yun Zheng wrong?
He fell in love with someone he shouldn't like, took her away when she wanted to leave, and tried his best to be her support when she needed a support, but when she didn't need him, he didn't leave decisively.
Is that woman named Jing Niang wrong?
She's just a girl who grows up in the depths, a girl who loves to dream. She just thinks of the world a little more simply. Those talented and beautiful people always say lingering sympathy such as "affectionate drinking water" in their books, but when the dream shines into reality, she finds that no matter when, drinking water, she can't really be full, and the taste of hunger is very uncomfortable, and she can't bear it.
Making a choice is like walking at a fork in the road with no signs. A direction has been chosen, there is no turning back, everything has to be decided by fate.
。。。。。。
"Have you heard of Yun Zheng's matter?"
"Yes. ”
"Oh, but our family forgot, you are from Grandpa Zhang's side, and it is normal to know these things that are not secrets. Xu Ruyi patted his forehead, and the black cat was silent.
"Everyone has their own story, Yun Zheng's temperament is violent and ruthless, in fact, he is still a loving person in his bones, and you will know it after a long time. As for you," Xu Ruyi looked at the black cat: "You don't like to talk, and our family hasn't had a chance to see your ability to do things, but our family has seen your ability to shave flesh and bones, and I admire it tightly, as if you can only say a few more words at that time." I guess you're a storyteller, too. ”
"The Overseer ... I. The black cat seemed to hesitate, and his brow gradually furrowed.
"Needless to say, we don't want to hear it yet. Xu Ruyi waved his hand: "At least until you really want to say it, we don't want to hear it yet." With a soft turn of his right hand in mid-air, a dead leaf on the ground flew into his finger and then turned into pieces.
"Since you've heard Yun Zheng's story, you also know the origin of the group of people who came back before you came?" Xu Ruyi looked at the black cat: "Zhang Million's family doesn't know much about us, so I don't know much, but it's not important." Since he offended our people in Dongchang, then he is no different from offending King Yama. This person in our family has a somewhat eccentric temperament, and he doesn't help his relatives. Yun Zheng's life was ruined in the hands of that Zhang Dongliang, and our family naturally couldn't let them die a good death. After a while, when Yun Zheng comes out, you go over and take a look, if the woman named Jing Niang is not dead, it will be fine. If she dies, then you will be ... ”
The black cat came up with his ears, listened to Xu Ruyi's instructions, and nodded from time to time.
。。。。。。
In front of the gate of Zhang's Mansion, the people who watched the excitement earlier had long since dispersed, but in the surrounding stalls, people were still talking about the earlier scene in twos and threes, and the three words that appeared most in their mouths were the "human meat banquet" mentioned by the mask of the Dongchang Governor at the end. ”
Is it really meant to eat people?
Some people believe it, but most people still don't.
In the endless flow of people, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and a shabby robe looked up in the direction of Dongchang and thought thoughtfully.
