Chapter 227: Greetings
A large number of figures gathered at the banquet, all graceful and luxurious, fat and strong, and used to sitting back and relaxing, and the people of fish and meat raised themselves to such a fat body, and they were indeed worthy of their ancestors.
"The one above is the governor, I have observed him for a long time, he is an ordinary person, there is no doubt that he will not hide very deeply, we will kill him, but we only need to kill the three generals around him, and the rest is to flee for his life. ”
Ye Lu Xiaoer secretly said to Bai Kehan, and at the same time, in words, he also pointed out the location of the three generals.
Looking at it intently, the first thing that didn't enter Bai Kehan was the strong man guarding the door, he had the physique of an adult, the eight abdominal muscles and muscles were perfectly displayed, and there were tattoos on his arms, so he couldn't see what totem it belonged to, but there was a mountain peak standing upside down on his arm, as if to imply that his strength could turn a mountain upside down.
"That person is a mountain man, a watchdog, every time there is something, he is the first to go up to solve it, it can be said that his strength is the largest of the three, and all kinds of hard work are done by him alone. ”
Listening to Ye Lu Xiaoer's explanation, even if he didn't say it, Bai Kehan could feel it.
His gaze leaned further on, and there stood two people, the governor in the middle, and there was no need to guess that these two were the other two generals.
"The one on the left is Lin Qing, the one on the right is Lin Long, it's a brother, I joined the governor's disciples for some reason, and I haven't checked their details so far, but when I shot again, I once found that their speed, so to speak, is very strong and fast. ”
It is a speed-type warrior, compared to the mountain man, it is Lin Qing and Lin Long who should be more careful, the mountain man has great strength, and he may be able to dodge it with all his might, and Lin Qing Lin Long is a very terrifying one-hit killer warrior, and those who dodge will definitely be unable to escape death.
"Our location was there. ”
Bai Kehan followed the pace of the Ye Lu Xiaoer and slowly moved to the position that belonged to them, tonight is not the time to do it, after all, the high-ranking officials are not there, even if the governor's life is killed, his scandals will not be spread to the government and the opposition through the high-ranking officials, and if the governor's affairs are not messed up a little, the Jianghu faction will not be able to rob the rich and help the poor!
Bai Kehan and their entry ranking was relatively low, many people were already seated, and when they sat down, there was no one standing around, of course, except for those soldiers who were guarding, they were carrying powder guns in their palms.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is really my honor to be able to join us tonight, I think everyone knows that the imperial court has sent a high-ranking official to review our work performance, as local officials, should we toast him?"
What the!
Facing the governor's conversation, the little two of the field brigade formed a cluster and toasted the high-ranking officials?
Could it be that the high-ranking officials are not here tomorrow?
"Hahaha......" Facing the confusion of the crowd, the governor laughed, "I know what you are thinking, the senior officials have been here yesterday, tonight is our banquet meeting, everyone rest assured, the senior officials have become their own people, and they will be rich and developed together in the future, this Chang'an City, I am the emperor, no one dares to be in the east of Chang'an City, what I want, Ji Ji!"
The momentum was so great, the laughter of the governor spread throughout the banquet, and the hearts of those who heard it stirred, so lawless, rampant and domineering, this is the situation that this kind of people like to see the most, the fish and meat people who can sit back and relax, the mountains and forests and tsunamis, eat and drink nonsense, this is the chic life of freedom.
"Officials get up and toast the high-ranking officials!" The governor gave a shout, he took the lead in getting up, Lin Long handed over a glass of wine, and all the people under the stage got up, Bai Kehan and they had to follow the actions of the public.
"Take it one step at a time. Ye Lu Xiaoer muttered lightly, he didn't expect that the high-ranking officials were going to be bribed, and the governor's ability was great!
Misstep, misstep!
"Greetings, please!"
The mountain man shouted, and fireworks began to be set off in Chang'an City, and the sky was bright, and the tourists who watched around were kept in the dark, not knowing that these people were using their taxes to live a very rich life.
There was a door behind the banquet, and with the sound of the three big words of inviting high-ranking officials, the door was slowly pushed open, and a figure appeared, Bai Kehan looked at it fixedly, but he didn't expect it to be the medicine refiner he had seen, Zhang Qingdong!
He is a high-ranking official of the imperial court?
What's the situation?
Feeling the changes in Bai Kehan, Ye Lu Xiaoer was a little wooden, obviously he was seeing Zhang Qingdong for the first time.
"You don't know that person?" Bai Kehan asked.
"Who?"
"Zhang Qingdong, I've seen him, he is the governor's medicine refiner. ”
"No way, I've always followed the governor, and I never knew that the governor had a personal medicine refiner. ”
The two of them spoke briefly and quickly, and then they retracted each other, and the mountain man on the governor's side shouted: "Welcome to the high officials!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses, the wine glasses were higher than their foreheads, this etiquette was very high, Bai Kehan couldn't make such an action, he and Ye Lu Xiaoer lowered a few points together.
Inside the gate, he walked out of Zhang Qingdong slowly, he was wearing an official uniform, which was indeed the clothing that the imperial court officials could have.
In the ancient Ming Dynasty, the requirements for clothing were very strict, and several officials wore a few kinds of clothing, all of which were exquisite, and the wrong one was a big rebellion, violating the laws of the ancient dynasty, and if caught, he would be sentenced to severe sanctions.
Bai Kehan is sure that this person must be the original Zhang Qingdong, he is probably not a high-ranking official, so where is the high-ranking official?
"Killed by the Governor?"
The thought was fleeting, and if it was true, it might have been a bloody night!
"Ladies and gentlemen, in Xia Zhang Qingdong, it is the assessment officer sent by the imperial court, those things under everyone's foundation, I don't need to say more, everyone just tacitly does it, and they will be their own people in the future, everyone knows how to do things, and Zhang naturally knows how to do things. ”
Zhang Qingdong's voice Bai Kehan vaguely remembered that there would be no mistake, this person was not an official of the imperial court.
Ye Lu Xiaoer glanced at the mentality of the officials around him, and kept thinking about how to act, can he do what the beauty does?
"Hahaha, Brother Zhang said and laughed, these people under my hand, all of them know each other very well, Jinshan Yinshan, how much you want, how much you can hold, they will be generous, right?" The governor smiled with a fat face.
Zhang Qingdong gave another look, as if he was playing a double reed, "That is, the governor of the people, how can he be petty, I am the first to take office, and many things need to be mentioned by the governor." ”
In terms of details, Bai Kehan almost saw through the conversation between the two.
Zhang Qingdong is not a high-ranking official of the imperial court, he is an actor, an actor sent by the governor, and what is his current action?
The two continued to talk, and as time went on, the officials seemed to hear what the high-ranking officials wanted, and that was bribes.
"Hahahaha," a junior official in front of Bai Kehan suddenly got up, and he laughed, "I'm a Wu Moujie Nine-Rank Sesame Official, this is my family's ancestral night pearl, a small meaning, not a tribute." ”
When things were laid out, the rest of the people understood, and the second child of the wild brigade also understood that the governor was cheating these people.
As their boss, they usually collect some taxes, collect them from the bottom to the top, and finally fall into the hands of the governor, naturally only those things that have been plucked by the geese are left, and the governor does not want to see these, but the huge finances need to be taken care of, this time with the help of high-ranking officials, you can take the opportunity to get some back, and it really kills two birds with one stone.
As for the whereabouts of the high-ranking officials, it is unknown.
"I understand, this is a scene!?" Ye Lu Xiao Er cast a glance, Bai Kehan nodded modestly, it seems that everyone today can't escape the way of paying tribute.
But Bai Kehan had nothing to get his hands on, only that small lump of gold, if he took it out in the court, it would definitely arouse the governor's suspicion, because the gold was the governor's thing.
Let's not talk about whether Wu is the governor's trust, but his approach has become a foregone conclusion, and many officials have begun to take out the treasures on their bodies, some say that they are ancestors, and some say that they were obtained by accident outside, as if the ancestors have nothing to do and send things down every day.
The governor and Zhang Qingdong glanced at each other, and the two were really acting.
"What to do, we don't have anything on us, but if we don't take out some treasures, the governor won't stop, tonight is a pit night. ”
As the subordinate of the Jianghu faction, Ye Lu Xiaoer is cleaner than his face, and everything is paid to the organization, so it is not easy to get through tonight.
Since the officials after Wu, there are no less than thirty officials who have handed over the so-called "heirlooms", and soon it will be Bai Kehan's turn, and the governor's three protectors have already hovered around the officials, as long as they wait until the rest of the officials hand over their things, their figures will be exposed in front of everyone.
Zhang Qingdong knows Bai Kehan, and the governor may forget, and the current development of events is not optimistic at all.
Bai Kehan gradually began to retreat and leaned behind the Ye Lu Xiaoer, and this action, in the crowd of officials who were getting smaller and smaller, accidentally attracted Zhang Qingdong's attention.
His eyes tightened, and he asked, "Stop, you-" He pointed at Bai Kehan, "You come out for me." ”
Suddenly stopped by Zhang Qingdong, everyone who came was alarmed one after another, and Ye Lu Xiaoer was the first to react, he wiped the sweat on his face, and pretended to be panicked.
"My lord, what do you have to call the little one?"
Zhang Dongqing's cry attracted the attention of many people, and the officials who paid tribute stopped their movements, which made the governor very unhappy.
What are you screaming for?!
"I'm not calling you, I'm calling the man behind you. Zhang Qingdong also knew that he had angered the governor, but he still insisted on calling Bai Kehan.
was forced to be unhindered, Bai Kehan finally chose to walk out of the public's sight.
"Official, do you know me?"
Bai Kehan changed his voice in response, and because of the night, Zhang Qingdong didn't dare to recognize him.
"You don't know me. Zhang Qingdong asked.
Everyone looked at the conversation between them in surprise, and the governor also frowned, he obviously didn't recognize Bai Kehan.
This person has always been against you, and you are unlucky if you don't recognize it.
Ye Lu Xiao Er chuckled in his heart, immediately stood up, fluttered, and knelt down on his knees and cried: "My lord, this is still a younger brother, don't take it to heart if you offend you, as a grass people, how can we meet with officials, and be able to act as a groom under the governor, we are already ancestors who have accumulated virtue, I hope that adults have a lot, don't have general knowledge with the small." ”
Speaking of which, even if Zhang Qingdong wants to find trouble, there is no reason to go against his subordinates, wouldn't he have wronged his identity as a high-ranking official, he is now playing a high-ranking official in the imperial court, just a few people, how can he wronged his identity.
And the governor didn't expect to know the second child of the wild brigade, he asked, "This is my groom, yes, but why did your brother come to the banquet?"
The little two of the wild brigade reorganized the language, and as an undercover agent, his brain turned very fast.
"My brother came to visit his family, I didn't have time to take care of him, he was sick, but he had a dream, that is, he could see the gathering of officials, he could only be an ordinary person in his life, and now he has seen so many high-ranking officials, but he has a dream, I hope that the governor will spare our lives for the sake of my love that I have never made mistakes. ”
"Aha!" the governor was very happy, "You inferior people, naturally you are the fish leaping dragon gate of dreams, but well, it's good to have that heart, dreams still have to be had, even if they can never be realized, hahahaha." ”
The governor's words caused everyone to laugh, the grass people are the grass people, the governor's words are everyone's voice, the people here, which one can you climb.
"Official, did you recognize the wrong person?" The governor asked Zhang Qingdong in turn, and they knew each other well, and the governor was not polite at all.
When asked about this, Zhang Qingdong naturally would not threaten Bai Kehan anymore, "Haha, it is indeed the wrong person." ”
"Then go ahead and let me see your enthusiasm. "The governor always cares about gold, silver and jewelry, and a grass man should not delay him in those matters.
The rest of the officials once entered the time period of Nagong, for a while, the scene became lively, Ye Lu Xiao Er collected his thoughts, he can't take anything now, but the governor has accepted the identity of the two of them, if you use some things to prevaricate in the past, I don't know whether it is advisable or not.
Bai Kehan thought about it, but they still decided to tell the truth, and it was a big truth.
Seeing that they had all paid tribute, the governor's men looked at Ye Lu Xiaoer and Bai Kehan, and their brows furrowed.
"My lord, as grass people, we really have nothing to hand over except the monthly salary, but if the adults like it, we can say some welfare auspicious words, if we say you are cool, can we forgive the little ignorance?"
The governor thought about it, and felt that it was very strange, he was not young, and these things would always happen when he was sick, and he would usually go to the temple to worship incense, but natural and man-made disasters were always inevitable, and it was a good way to listen to auspicious words.
"You talk first. ”
Ye Lu Xiao Er moistened his throat and began to sing: "I wish the adults smooth sailing, double happiness, Sanyang Kaitai, four seasons of peace, five grains and abundant harvests, six or six Shun, seven stars high, eight directions to wealth, nine nine health, perfect, everything smooth, a thousand things auspicious, all the best!"
Bai Kehan rolled his eyes and replied: "May the officials be in the dynasty with one product, two plum blossoms, three consecutive promotions, four seasons of wealth, five meridian leaders, six consecutive Shunxi, seven sages bamboo forest, eight immortals to celebrate longevity, nine lotus lanterns, ten full halls!"
