A knife in love

Chapter 1175

Thinking of this, Zhang Shi chuckled, and said: "My lord, you can rest assured. The villain understands what you can say and what you can't say. If the villain is not thoughtful in doing things in the future, just remind me That's right."

What kind of person Xiao Dong is, he naturally knows what Zhang Shishi means.Therefore, he smiled slightly, patted Zhang Shi on the shoulder twice, and said in his mouth: "Zhang Yuanwai is worthy of being one of the most famous people in Ningbo City, and he is really transparent. In the future, the firearms bureau will rely on Zhang Yuanwai's contribution to the business in Ningbo. .Let's join hands, so why not worry about a major failure?"

Xiao Dong laughed out loud when he said this, his face was full of complacency.Just now he patted Zhang Shi on the shoulder, it was an act of an elder to a younger generation.But Zhang Shi is older than Xiao Dong, this is very rude.Zhang Shi cursed secretly, but there was no trace of anger on his face, and he bowed repeatedly to thank Xiao Dong.

Xiao Dong turned his head to Li Qiufeng and said: "Young Master Li, you have to ask Zhang Yuanwai for advice, his life skills are the secret to his fortune."

Li Qiufeng watched coldly from the sidelines, and naturally knew the mystery behind Xiao Dong and Zhang Shishi.He hastily arched his body and said, "My lord is right. The villain must seek advice from Mr. Zhang, and work together to do things for my lord."

Xiao Dong got the jade pendant, and seeing Zhang Shi and Li Qiufeng showing their loyalty to him, he was extremely proud.Therefore, he promised various benefits to Zhang Shi and Li Qiufeng, and finally said to them: "We have spent a lot of time here, so we should hurry to the front and have a look. If Lao Yin makes a mistake, our loss is not small."

After Xiao Dong finished speaking, he walked onto the stone bridge first.Zhang Shi followed behind him, thinking to himself, at this moment, the surname Xiao wished for Lao Yin's life, but he still pretended to be like this, it's really disgusting.

Li Qiufeng walked at the end, thinking to himself that when the assassins of the Liusheng clan were dispatched, there would be at least five of them in a group.But just now Xiao Dong killed two people, but no killer from Liu Sheng's clan showed up.Could it be that these two people appeared in Dongliao County not because they were ordered to do something, but because they just passed by unintentionally?

The three of them walked across the stone bridge, but saw a large house in front of them.A road runs horizontally to the left and right, and another road goes straight north.Although it was already dark, there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, which was quite lively.In addition, there was the faint sound of silk and bamboo drum music, mixed with chaotic laughter, making it even more difficult for people to know where they were.All three of them thought that the vicinity of the pier is like a hell on earth, but this place is like a paradise.How can there be such a big difference between a river?

The three of them walked down the stone bridge, Xiao Dong looked left and right, and then said to Zhang Shi and Li Qiufeng: "We are new here, and we don't know the customs, so we might as well walk around, I don't know what you two think ?”

Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi nodded in agreement, and the three walked along the road heading north.There are shops on both sides of the road, such as silk and satin shops, pastry shops, pawn shops, rice shops and so on.Pedestrians are constantly on the road, and their clothes are also very clean and tidy.The three of them were even more amazed, thinking to themselves that they had heard for a long time that Liaodong is a place of bitter cold and the people are poor, so why is this place like a paradise, even richer than Jiangnan?

The three of them walked for a while, when they suddenly heard a burst of laughter from ahead.Xiao Dong looked up, but saw a big house on the right side of the road more than ten zhang away, with a wine flag protruding from the eaves of the door.By the light of the lanterns hanging under the eaves, you can see the two big characters "Wu Ji" embroidered on the wine flag.Xiao Dong smiled slightly, and said to Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi: "We walked on the sea for more than [-] days. In the words of Lao Song, it really is like a bird faded out of our mouth. Seeing that the scale of this restaurant is not small, the guests who come in and out Keep going, I think there are a lot of delicious food and wine. Let's go in and have a few drinks, I wonder what you two think?"

Naturally, Li Qiufeng and Zhang Shi had no objection, and the three of them walked to the restaurant immediately.When we got to the door of the restaurant, we could hear constant laughter in the house, mixed with noises.The three of them pushed the door open and entered, only to see that there were more than a dozen tables in the room, filled with 80 to [-] people.The aroma of wine and food permeates it, making people's index fingers twitch and salivate.

Seeing the three of them entering the house, a waiter hurried forward to greet them, nodding and bowing with joy on his face, and said, "The three gentlemen are here! Please follow the villain and sit inside."

The three of them followed Xiao Er through several tables, and squeezed to a table that only sat two people.Xiao Er said with a smile: "Three gentlemen, there are too many guests tonight, please condescend to set up a table with these two gentlemen. If there is a vacant table later, please ask the three gentlemen to change it."

Zhang Shi didn't dare to decide, turned his head to look at Xiao Dong.Xiao Dong smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "This is easy to say. As long as the wine is good, it will be done."

Xiao Er said with a smile: "The three masters are nobles at first glance. Of course, we know that among the county towns, our Wuji's wine and food are the most delicious. Don't look at other things, just look at these masters in the room, which one is not ours? People who can be counted in the county?"

He asked the three of them to sit down while talking, and asked them what wine and food they would like to order.Xiao Dong ordered a jug of wine, and ordered six other dishes, which cost a total of one tael or seven renminbi.Xiao Dong pretended to take money out of his pocket.Zhang Shi had already held a handful of scattered silver in his hand, how could he let Xiao Dong spend money?He was the first to hand over a piece of silver to Xiao Er, and said, "You don't need to look for it. First serve us a pot of good tea."

Xiao Er took the silver, weighed it secretly in his hand, and found out that the silver was at least two taels, excluding the money for wine and tea, he could save at least three taels of silver.Xiao Er was overjoyed, he couldn't agree more than a chicken pecking at rice, thanked him repeatedly, turned around and went to arrange the food and drink.

After Xiao Er left, Xiao Dong was about to speak, when suddenly he heard loud applause from all around, applause one after another.The three of them were startled, and looked up, only to see a table and a chair had been placed in front of the counter at some point.A thin man in his 40s slowly sat down on a chair with a folding fan in his hand.I saw that this person had a fair complexion, wearing a cloth scarf on his head, and a gray shirt. He looked like a fallen scholar.It's just that his eyes are dull, and he is actually a blind man.

When Li Qiufeng was working in the capital, he liked to go to the taverns and teahouses by the Gaoliang River to listen to stories.At this moment, when he saw the appearance of the blind man, he turned out to be a storyteller.He was both surprised and delighted, he never expected that there would be a storyteller in the tavern in Liaodong.

The blind man knocked the folding fan on the table vigorously, and the tavern immediately fell silent.The blind man's dull eyes flicked to the left and right, and then he said: "Sangma is all right, chickens and dogs are not frightened, and the villagers are wild and old, sitting under the melon shed and bean racks, laughing and talking about the legacy of the Tang Dynasty. What Jinyang Palace? , what is Fenghuang Mountain, what is Motianling, what is Xue Rengui's expedition to the east, what is Luotong sweeping north, what is Baluohe, what is Hongbiyuan. The most surprising and moving ones are Gai Su Wenxing's monsters, Fanli flowers pouring seas and mountains, Tang Sanzang 81 Difficulty, Sun Xingzhe 72 changes. The hype is hype, the ghosts are blurred, but it is actually half-truth and half-false, if there is nothing. Cough! I think this group of villagers and wild old people can know a few words and read a few books? It’s nothing more than borrowing some knowledge from shrine dramas and blind words from teahouses. Just take advantage of the idle time to talk long and short, talk about the past and the present, and call yourself a person from the Tang Dynasty, and jokingly describe the Tang Dynasty. How many emperors, how many territories? It is incomprehensible to the ancient brain. For the time being, I believe the words of magical powers, demons, and non-existence are true. It seems that it is harmless to the country and the family. Who knows that it has a great relationship. Looking at the past and the present For thousands of years, I thought about the Yellow Turban rebellion, saying that "the age is in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous", Huang Chao rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and said that the fragrance of the sky penetrated Chang'an, and the city was full of golden armour. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, some people even played tricks and buried The stone man made a prophecy saying that "the stone man has one eye and provokes the rebellion of the Yellow River". This caused the Red Scarf Rebellion headed by Liu Futong, Xiao Ming Wang and other evildoers. It can be seen that these people who use the past to satirize the present, The damage is not inferior to the traitors! Therefore, the students must get to the bottom of the story and tell an authentic story of the Tang Dynasty, so as to set the sight straight. lest we foolish men and women in Dongliao County will remember Tang nonsense and Song bullshit in our minds. , So I thought that the past and the present are the same, the immortals came out, superstitions are so similar, and eventually the world is in chaos, and the people are in dire straits! Students discuss history on history, that is, the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. , Rise and fall, decline and fall, roughly recounted, and a story of the Tang Dynasty, for the folks and elders!"

Having said this, the blind man knocked the folding fan on the table again, making a "beep" sound.There was another applause in the tavern.Some idlers got three or four points drunk, and started patting on the table like blind men.
