Chapter 46 Dormant
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Xiao and Dou Yuan sat on the ground. There were only three people in the huge hall, as quiet as a ghost. Apart from Dou Yuan and Yun Xiao, there were only Ge Hong, who was tied to silkworms on the ground.
Dou Yuan's eyes were shining brightly, and his eyes were spinning like a fox. Yun Xiao stared at the fragrant tea in front of him, as if flowers were growing in the bowl. Seeing that his family had a tendency to become a scene in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Dou Yuan had to speak first.
"Marquis Lintong must have known what happened. Dou Yuan also acted on order for the safety of King Jiangdu. As for the failure to inform Marquis Lintong, this was also explained in the will."
Dou Yuan gave up the matter, but you can still use the secret order to settle the score with the empress dowager. With his own aunt, Yun Xiao will do what else can he do unless he intends to rebel.
"It's wrong to say this. If the Prime Minister has an order in his hand, Yun Xiao will not blame the Prime Minister. Everyone is doing things for the court, so there is no need to be apart for this matter. Since the court has been thinking about pursuing, Yun Xiao is happy to see it happen. You also know that I have a new daughter. I am also in a hurry to return to Chang'an. Since the Prime Minister can pursuing Xiang Sanqiu, it's better than using a knife and a gun. Why not do it?"
Dou Yuan widened his eyes. He was not sure what he had heard just now. Yun Xiao actually agreed to urge him. This was not true. This did not conform to the boy's usual character. Dou Yuan saw Yun Xiao's embarrassment when he escaped from Yueyang with his own eyes. The eyes full of hatred, like a wolf, Dou Yuan still remembers it freshly. He actually agreed to urge him. This was not true. Dou Yuan thought he had auditory hallucinations.
"I will leave this Ge Hong to the Prime Minister and ask the Prime Minister to check it out. Yun Xiao did not torture him, and the injury on his leg was also the one who arrested him by Hou Nang."
It seemed that he could see Dou Yuan’s doubts. Yun Xiao pointed to Ge Hong on the ground and said.
Yun Xiao's frankness left Dou Yuan speechless, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him. He looked up again. Yun Xiao had already walked out of the hall, leaving only a back that he couldn't figure out.
He sent all his minions and stared at Yun Xiao for a few days. It seemed that this kid really wanted to turn war into jade and took his own group of killers every day to indulge in the mountains and rivers. He ate all kinds of restaurants in Jiangdu City, big and small.
I ordered two bowls of steaming wontons at once, and poured two bowls of them at one bowl. It was so unpalatable. The thick skin was like insoles and the filling was like a hummingbird's head. I was so untrue when doing business. A bowl with a big head actually contained twelve wontons. It was so deceptive that a nobleman could not accept such deception.
The huge mace of Cangxiong suddenly pierced the wonton soup pot, and the hot soup immediately extinguished the fire. The guards showed their extraordinary knife skills. A large number of tables, chairs, and benches turned into chopping firewood.
The crowd yelled and ran away in scattered ways. The officers and soldiers patrolling the streets fled without a trace at the first time, one by one like jackals who met a tiger.
Only those who think about committing suicide will provoke the King of Hell, let alone smashing the famous black shop. Relying on the fact that there are relatives in the government office who are used to bullying the people, no one except the government office dares to eat. Why do you dare to bully the King of Hell today? You don’t even look at the government office that burns all the fire, and you still care about smashing such a messy stall like you?
The boss hugged in the corner of the wall like a quail, thinking that others would not see him holding a huge pot lid. The boss's wife sat on the ground and rolled around, crying and saying that the robbers had killed people. Life was impossible, but she couldn't live anymore.
"You really can't survive? I can let them help you."
Yun Xiao saw that the woman was crying so sadly that he couldn't help but go over to comfort her. He kindly called Cang Xiong who was standing aside.
The woman immediately stopped crying, and tears that broke the line were like a dam that closed the gate. She stopped almost instantly. She rolled on the spot and stood up and entered the alley. The speed was so fast that Yun Xiao was a little surprised. She could not understand that the players with a waist circumference of more than her height would have such a good body style. It seemed that Bolt and Liu Xiang were all weak.
The prefect was about to draw, and the complaint documents flew to his own case like snowflakes. The restaurant of the chief clerk was smashed. The gambling house of Gongcao was stolen. The brothel that the other party had opened was burned to ashes. These guys couldn't afford to offend Yun Xiao. They all rushed to the yamen and wanted to stand up and avenge them.
"Take an injustice? Extend your grandma's leg.
You don’t have to eat to fool the Marquis. Will he smash your restaurant? Who is Lintong Marquis, the number one foodie among the great man? You actually used the wontons for overnight to fool him. How could you not smash your stall? If you say that you should burn the incense without chopping your family, you still have the attitude to sue the official?"
The prefect immediately turned a frown with the chief clerk who wanted to send him to the Hall of Hell.
Gongcao and the other party were about to come to persuade him, but the prefect pointed at him and scolded him.
"You two are used to being arrogant. Now you meet something even more arrogant. If you don't take the dice that has been filled with mercury, he will steal your gambling house.
As for your family, you are even more dying. It would be fine if you force customers on the street, but you pointed at the half-aged woman in her forties and said it was eighteen. It would cost ten cents of money to sit down and drink something that was water or wine. You were crazy about money and even wanted to have your life. You blamed your brother for being broken on both legs. I didn’t think it was torn apart like a guard. It was already the marquis who showed mercy.
Don’t think I don’t know the dirty things you usually do. I’m not deaf and blind. I turned a blind eye because of my colleagues. But it’s wrong for you to trick me so hard. Today I dare to go to the yard to get people. My head will be hung on the flagpole and air-dry in less than an hour.
If you want to ask for an explanation, whoever you like will go. I will not go even if I kill you."
The three guys looked at me, and I looked at you. Seeing that the prefect was determined, they waved their sleeves to ask Dou Yuan for advice.
It seems that this kid is still angry. Forget it and let him do it, and it will be done if he doesn't destroy my big things. Jiangdu City will let him do it, and he doesn't plan to stay for a long time anyway.
The chief clerk, Gongcao, and the other lord were pressed in front of Dou Yuan's prime minister's mansion, and took off their pants and beat the board. There were many people watching like a market, and they had never seen an official being spanked. The curiosity of the people was greatly satisfied. Tickets were even sold on the high-rise buildings at the intersection of the street. You can go upstairs to watch with a cup of tea.
Yun Xiao listened to the rewards from the Iron Guards. He didn't say a word. He led the Iron Guards to chase rabbits and catch pheasants all over the mountains.
The pheasant in autumn is really fat. The long pheasant's tail is more than a foot long. Luan Yong pulled out one and inserted it on his head to show off. In the afterglow of the sunset, he looked like a groom.
Jiangnan is wet and cold in early winter, and everyone is not used to it. Especially the Huns, whether in Guanzhong or in the grassland, they are dry and cold and domineering. They really can't stand the coldness of Jiangnan. There will be a layer of frost on their wet robes. When they return to the house, they warm and melt, making them feel like they are soaked in cold water all day long.
Yun Xiao thought of a way and gave everyone a cloak. A stove was built in the house. Anyway, if the Chai Carbon is gone, I will go to Jiangdu’s treasury and get it.
The chief clerk was beaten to the board. He was angry and dragged it to the point of not giving it to him. Yun Xiao was not angry, but just told Batu that he would freeze if he didn't have Chai Carbon. Batu had a good temper and would never make a noise if he could do it. He immediately took all the carriages to the treasury. The chief clerk was frightened. He was 200 cattle and horse carriages, but he was dissatisfied even if he moved the treasury.
Batu and Cang Xiong were very energetic to do their own things and have enough food and clothing. The mace smashed open the door of the treasury. The sharp sabers scared away the guards' soldiers, and the villagers shook their arms and started moving to the car.
The chief clerk beat his chest and stamped his feet on the ground, and this official is over.
Dou Yuan was observing Yun Xiao's every move these days, robbing gambling workshops, burning brothels, and destroying restaurants. He did not go to the construction site of the docks, nor did he go to the training of the village warriors. Apart from leaving the city for free and hunting, he just wandered around Jiangdu City. The places where dirt and dirt were closed, and the security of Jiangdu City improved unprecedentedly.
It seems that this kid has really given up. Since this is the case, it will be much easier. Without his obstacles, the care of the care will be much smoother. Ge Hong's injuries have been almost done, so it is time to send him back.
Yun Xiao cooperated very well. Dou Yuan was very satisfied. The unlucky chief clerk was dismissed. The first thing the new guy did was to come to Yun Xiao to pay homage to the wharf. Nothing was said. More than twenty big trucks of chickens, ducks, fish and meat were sent to the gear. This was his attitude. Yun Xiao was very satisfied with this guy who knew what he was after. He specially kept this guy for a meal.
The new chief clerk was staring at a mud ball. I heard that the Marquis was the number one foodie in the man. How could he eat mud balls for himself? Could it be that he was not careful in making it? No, chickens and ducks are all alive, and the fish were all newly cooked last night. When I came, I personally checked that there was no dead fish. They were all one foot long and good-looking green fish. It would be best to stew it.
Cang Xiong, who was eating, grinned his big mouth and stretched out his huge hands like a bear's paw and clenched it into an old fist. In a few seconds, it smashed open the yellow sealing mud, and there was a lotus leaf inside.
"I don't know that this is the new name for beggar chicken invented by my marquis. I was lucky enough to have eaten it once, and it can be called a delicacy in the world. My Cangxiong almost swallowed his tongue last time. If the chief clerk asks the marquis to reward this dish today, it will definitely be worth the trip."
While speaking, he peeled the lotus leaves with his bear's paw. A light yellow oil flowed out from the gaps of the lotus leaves, and a refreshing fragrance emanated from it.
The chief clerk's eyes lit up and it was indeed well-deserved. But the fragrance already made people feel hungry.
Cang Xiong pushed the beggar chicken in front of the chief clerk, "Don't dislike it, sir, chief clerk, you have to tear this thing with your hands. If the smell of the knife is dipped in the fishy smell, it will be less delicious, and sir."
After saying that, he picked up another one and returned to his own desk.
The chief clerk tear a chicken leg with his hand and chewed it slowly in his mouth. The smooth muscles mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves gave the teeth and tongue the most beautiful memory. The first gourmet among the great man was indeed well-deserved. He threw away the bones in his hand and tore off another chicken leg in a hurry.
After tasting the steamed wine from the Yun family, the chief clerk made up his mind secretly. From now on, I would pack the work I gave it to you, and I would give it to you every half a month or ten days. That bear-like guy was right, and it would definitely be worth the trip.
The chief clerk burped and left staggeringly. Before leaving, he pulled Cang Xiong's arm and patted his chest and said that in the future, the army's supplies would be handed over to his brothers, which was quite a bit Liangshan style.
Xiang Sanqiu looked at the carriage galloping into the distance and said nothing.
"Since this time I can release Ge Hong back, I probably don't plan to fight us any more." Bai Weng said with a snow-white beard standing beside Xiang Sanqiu.
"Oh, what new news is Bai Weng."
"This guy has been making trouble in Jiangdu recently, smashing restaurants, robbing gambling shops and burning brothels. He offended a large number of officials in Jiangdu, but he didn't seem to care. After all, he was a young man, and he vented his anger.
However, he had never been to the dock by the river these days, nor had he visited the training of his fellow villagers. Moreover, he also notified the families of those fellow villagers, saying that he would follow him back to Guanzhong in the beginning of spring and asked each family to prepare."
"What do you mean is that he agreed to the court's pacification?"
"The court means His Majesty and the Queen Mother. He can't resist it. You and I know it. Besides, we still have an ace in our hands."
