Chapter 812 Who is telling you the truth
The former Duke of Jie Yuan and the romantic talent Tang Bohu have now become a "villain" who is scammering for a few cents, which makes Chen Xi feel that time is tempering.
Without experiencing the hardships of the lowest level of society, how could you, Tang Dajieyuan, understand the coldness of the world, understand the warmth of human feelings, and the hardships of the world?
The wine and side dishes came up one after another. Tang Yin personally poured a glass of wine for Chen Xi, and then filled it with it. Then he raised the wine glass and said, "Chen Zhuangyuan, we will meet again after a long time, so we will do it first."
After saying that, he drank a glass of wine and immediately poured himself a second cup.
Chen Xi put the wine to his lips and tasted it lightly, thinking to himself: "Looking at how you drink, it seems like you haven't touched a wine glass in your lifetime."
After drinking for three rounds, Tang Yin looked worried: "Now the country's destiny is uneasy, and the north is suffering frequently. However, the emperor favors treacherous and slanderous people, and the country will soon be."
Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly. He said that people who are unsuccessful often have ambitions for their family and country. Today he finally saw it, but it is a big deal... What Tang Yin said now is completely empty talk. So what you have great ambitions? Say these things in front of a magistrate, you are looking for death!
"Brother Bohu lived in the south for a long time, and the Tatars invaded our border. Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War conquered the northern border and returned after a great victory. Now the Tatars are unable to take care of the civil strife, and the northern troubles are basically eliminated."
Chen Xi told Tang Yin, who had completely closed his eyes in recent years, to know, "However, disasters and bandits in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have continued, the national treasury and silver and food are in frequent emergency, and the people are displaced..."
After Chen Xi expressed the fact that the northern border of the Ming Dynasty was relatively stable, he tactfully expressed the reality of disasters and bandits in the local area, preparing for the next lobbying Tang Yin and he went south.
He also realized that the reason why Tang Yin sat down and talked calmly to him was not only the factor that he invited guests to drink, but more importantly, Tang Yin felt that he had been demoted to a local official and had sympathy with each other. If he told him about his promotion to the third-rank right deputy chief censor, let alone being friends, it would be impossible for him to sit down and drink together.
Since I have made up my mind to save the great talent from the decadence, I will ignore any methods and means. It is nothing more than cheating. As long as you can follow me, even if you are a liar, I will do whatever I want.
Tang Yin agreed with Chen Xi's words. Although Chen Xi denied his opinion in the first half, the second half also expressed the family and country sentiment of "worrying about the world first and then having fun in the world later". Two people who are "unsuccessful" are most likely to find common topics. It seems that they are worried about the country and the people, but in fact they want to express their complaints of "being talented and not being appreciated".
As the two of them talked, you drink one cup and I quickly finished the twelve taels of wine.
Chen Xi was very smart. In order to prevent himself from getting drunk, he poured no less than four taels of wine into his sleeves. Anyway, he was wet when he came over in the rain just now. Tang Yin has focused on the wine now. How could he think of Chen Xi ruining wine like this?
"Little... waiter,... add half a pound of wine again!" Tang Yin was already a little drunk, and he was speechless even if he shouted.
The shopkeeper came over, ignored Tang Yin, but wiped his hands with an apron and looked at Chen Xi with a smile.
It is obvious that Tang Yin will never accept anything he wants. If he wants to sell wine, Shen Xi, the financial backer, must pay first.
Chen Xi took out a small silver steak of one or two this time and said, "According to what Tang Jieyuan said, by the way... I will pay the wine money that Tang Jieyuan owed."
Chen Xi believed that such small wine shops on the street were basically small business deals, and they would never allow Tang Yin to owe more than one tael of silver to wine. Sure enough, the shop's shop's eyes shook when they saw the silver, and thanked him: "You are such a master, you are so mad, you are so stupid..."
"What, what money should I find!" Tang Yin roared and slapped the table, "Please... bring the drinks again!"
Chen Xi thought to himself, Tang Yin is so poor that he is unpredictable. Is this the talented man in Jiangnan who "picks peach blossoms and exchanges for money for wine"?
Chen Xi was treating her, and Tang Yin opened her drinks, drinking from morning until noon, and was drunk. Chen Xi originally wanted to help him, but he still carried the wine pot and said, "No flowers, no wine, and hoe to make the fields...drink!"
Chen Xi winked, and Yu Niang, who had been sitting next to her for a long time, finally stood up. She followed Chen Xi out for most of the day. The rain outside had stopped now.
Yu Niang asked, "Mr. Shen, didn't you say you came to ask for painting? Why did you want to drink with Tang Jieyuan?"
"I really think I want to drink with him? Go and call someone over and tie him back!" Chen Xi said calmly.
"Tie someone?"
Yu Niang was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
When I said moral words to friends before meeting, I thought you were more loyal. After meeting, you had a lot of fun, just like an old friend I haven't seen for many years. I drank one cup after another, and now I just finished drinking, and I was actually tying people upright? The contrast between the front and back is too big, right?
Seeing that Yu Niang was not moving, Chen Xi looked solemn and asked, "Isn't it possible for Yu Zhen family?"
Yu Niang shook her head and said, "Mr. Shen, why did you tie Tang Jieyuan back?"
"Go south together!"
Chenxidao, "As a friend, you can't see him so desolate. A real man should have ambitions and take him to Wuzhou and let him regain himself!"
This answer made Yu Niang dumbfounded.
Taking all the morality of friends, she got her friend drunk and tied her up on the road... Chen Xi's way of treating friends was only seen in Yu Niang's life, but for some reason, she admired Chen Xi in her heart.
She had seen Tang Yin's depressed and petty appearance just now. She felt a little moved, but she felt that there should be no way to save this decadent person. As a result, Shen Xi now said something that was not a solution.
Kidnapping!?
"Mr. Shen waited, I will go back!"
Yu Niang hurried away. After a short while, she called the attendant guarding the carriage at the intersection of the street and helped to help Tang Yin onto the carriage.
Because the rain had just stopped and there were not many people on the road. Even if someone saw it, he would not have thought it would be a kidnap. After all, Tang Yin's down-and-out appearance was not worthy of being robbed. Moreover, Tang Yin was still drunk, so who dared to come forward to ask about it?
"He tied it with a rope and his mouth was blocked. He ignored whatever he said after he woke up!" Chen Xi ordered.
"Get orders!"
The followers didn't quite understand what Chen Xi meant, but Chen Xi was a dignified third-rank official. In their opinion, it must be reasonable to do things, and you just need to obey your order.
In order to prevent the emergence of the festival, Chen Xi asked the carriage to leave the city directly and met at the agreed place. He first went back to the inn and sorted it out briefly, and then took the carriage to leave Suzhou City with Jiang Liwei, Yu Niang and others.
...
...
Tang Yin couldn't get up until midnight when he woke up because of his urgency. He felt his body bumpy and wanted to reach out to touch his painful head, but he found that his hands and feet were tied up. He wanted to ask for help, but found that his mouth was blocked.
“Woo woo…”
Although Tang Yin was a scholar, he was not thin and had some strength. After kicking a few times, the curtain of the car was lifted up and he shouted, "I actually woke up! Don't move, otherwise I'll throw you out and feed the wolf!"
Tang Yin immediately stopped moving when he heard this.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, even in the wealthy land in the south of the Yangtze River, there were many wilderness mountains and rivers, not to mention wolves, even tigers.
Because he didn't know the identities of these people, Tang Yin's memory was completely broken after getting drunk. At this moment, he looked at the situation in front of him. He didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a thief. In the case of a hero not suffering from the loss in front of him, he could only endure the fear in his heart and continue to rush on the carriage.
In the middle of the night, the carriage finally stopped.
The two of them came in and pushed him off the carriage. Because Tang Yin was not blindfolded, he had already seen clearly that this should be the backyard of a local station, and the stable emitted a pungent smell of cow and horse manure.
He thought to himself, wouldn't he throw me into the stable?
Suddenly, someone came over, looked at Tang Yin curiously, pointed at him and asked, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Jiang, it was Mr. Shen who told us to tie the person back, but I don't know the specifics." The follower replied to Jiang Liwei who came over to question him.
Tang Yin and Jiang Li had no choice but to meet each other, which happened after the Yuqi case. It was time to pass and in the dark, and neither of them recognized each other.
But Tang Yin heard that it was "Master Shen" who arranged for them to do this. He remembered that he had drunk with Shen Xi before, and it was Master Shen Xi who tied him back.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
Tang Yin originally felt that he was sympathetic with Shen Xi, but was invited by Shen Xi to drink. He felt a little grateful. When he suddenly realized that Shen Xi had tied him back, he couldn't help but start "Woo wow" again.
Jiang Liwei faced a drunkard full of alcoholic smell and looked sloppy, and he was reluctant to find out the truth. He waved his hand and asked his followers to send the person to the firewood in the station.
"Bang!"
Tang Yin was thrown heavily on the straw pile, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't recover for a long time.
After a while, the door opened again and the lights in the woodshed started to turn on. Shen Xi, who had previously drunk with him, appeared at the door. However, Shen Xi looked at him arrogantly and looked at him with a proud tone, which made Tang Yin angry.
"Woo woo!" Tang Yin couldn't help but ask.
Shen Xi waved his hand, and someone next to him immediately took off Tang Yin's gag cloth, but did not untie the rope on his body.
Tang Yin immediately called Tianqu and said, "Shen Zhuangyuan, I'm drinking with you, why should I tie me back? Do you have the imperial court law in your eyes?"
"Brother Bohu, your hat is really overwhelming... But I'm asking you to come back, just to discuss with you the question of when to pay back the money." Shen Xi said with his hands spread.
"Repay money, what's the money?"
Tang Yin thought for a while and said, "Isn't it just a meal of wine? Oh no... Didn't you say you treat me? That little money... do you tie me back?"
Tang Bohu said "that little silver", but it was no longer as tough as before. For him, let alone a tael of silver, even a ounce of silver would be astronomical. He had no copper coins all over his body. He originally planned to go to Wen Zhengming, Xu Zhenqing, Qian Tongai and other friends' mansions to see if he could borrow dozens of cents to buy rice and wine.
Chen Xi took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "It's not a meal of wine, but a hundred taels of silver. When Brother Tang left the capital, he borrowed 100 taels of silver from his official, saying that it would be returned in a year, but he never returned. This time, the official went south and passed by Suzhou. He wanted to pursue the account with Brother Tang, but he didn't expect that Brother Tang deliberately drank and got drunk, so he had to come up with this bad plan!"
"What... what? You... you... are nonsense, when will I owe you... one hundred taels of silver?" Tang Yin was shocked and even stuttered.
Chen Xi asked his followers to bring the lantern forward and personally brought some of the yellow IOUs of history to Tang Yin, saying, "Brother Tang can't even recognize the words he wrote, right?"
Tang Yin was stunned when he saw it. He might not recognize other people's words, but his own words could definitely be clearly distinguished at a glance. Whether it is the font or the tone of the text, it was entirely his own. Even the final signature was sure to be his own.
