Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 773 Father-in-law, please go on your way!

After several hours of ups and downs, the group finally arrived at this remote village in the jurisdiction of Julu. After Tang Zuo showed his waist card, Jia Zhuang's Li was mobilizing the wealthy households in the village to vacate their best houses for Let these businessmen from the capital settle in, and spread the word secretly, telling the villagers not to go out these few days if they have nothing to do, so as not to offend the nobles of the capital.

Gao Qiqian, who had been neglected for many years, finally regained the long-lost feeling of being respected from Li Zheng. In a good mood, he, who had always been stingy, took out a silver scorpion to reward Li Zheng. Wan Xie kowtowed and laughed.

After resting for an hour after lunch, impatient Gao Qiqian found Tang Zuo who was enjoying the shade under the grape arbor in a corner of the courtyard, and urged him to hurry up and do business first, and take him to find the "old friend" and return to Beijing as soon as possible. Purpose.

Tang Zuo sat on a wooden stalk with a golden knife, didn't even move his body, squinted at Gao Qiqian with a fake smile and replied: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, the sons of a certain subordinate are busy with work, and they will wait for the evening." There will be news in due time.

Along the way, I followed my father-in-law to such a remote place, and I never had the chance to have a drink with him. A certain person told me that a table of good noodles was being cleaned up in the meeting, and at that time, I would like to respect my father-in-law for a drink! "

Although Gao Qiqian said he was a little displeased with Tang Zuo's rudeness in his heart, but it's not the time to worry about it, and he still had to rely on Jin Yiwei for this business trip, so he snorted coldly and went back to the room with his sleeves, Tang Zuo looked Gao up and down Qi Qian's back, after seeing him enter the room, he suddenly laughed.

When the end of the day was about to go down in the afternoon, Gao Qiqian and others stayed at the rich family's home after a busy afternoon, and finally tidied up a table of so-called high-quality noodles in the eyes of the farmers.

In this place where most people have just eaten their fill, the so-called good noodles are nothing more than some local chicken, stupid pig and wild vegetables. Gao Qiqian would not even take a look at this kind of food if he was in the capital, but because of I have been traveling long distances for several days, and I have not eaten delicious meals. The ingredients that these low-class people used to eat have become delicious delicacies in the eyes of Gao Qi.

After Gao Qiqian took his time and sat at the main table, Tang Zuo gave an order, and the school captains, as if they had never understood the rules, gathered around the two Eight Immortals tables and took their chopsticks to eat. He didn't care about the expression on his face that was about to drip out of water.

"Elder-in-law, why are you still watching? Let's eat quickly, and we have to get down to business after eating!

The sons and daughters are too tired to work today, and they think they are too hungry, so they forgot the rules. If the father-in-law doesn't eat quickly, he will be gone in the blink of an eye! "

Tang Zuo greeted Gao Qiqian indifferently while serving food, as if he was talking to an insignificant person.Gao Qiqian was burning with anger, he was going to yell loudly and then walked away, but he couldn't bear the fact that he had eaten too little for a few days, and after a lot of consumption, his stomach was already hungry, so he snorted coldly and started move chopsticks.

The lieutenant at the other table quickly cleared all the dishes on the table, and then everyone left belching loudly while talking and laughing loudly. Tang Zuo on this table picked up the wine jar and filled the glasses for Gao Qiqian and himself. , picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, father-in-law, I will toast you a toast, father-in-law must eat and drink enough, or I will feel bad about it!"

After Tang Zuo finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The other senior captains at the same table looked at each other, and they also drank the wine in the glass in unison. Afterwards, Tang Zuo and the others Whether it's with a smile on your face, or with your head buried in your mouth, it doesn't matter how you think about it.

Although Gao Qiqian, who had already drank two or three cups, felt that Tang Zuo's words were somewhat incomprehensible, which made him feel very awkward, but he didn't think about other aspects, he just picked up the wine glass and sipped it expressionlessly. One bite in response.

Afterwards, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became a little dull. Tang Zuo and his subordinates at the same table stopped talking to Gao Qiqian. Instead, they talked about some anecdotes from various places on their own, interspersed with some nasty jokes, and all the listeners were presumptuous. Laughing, this made Gao Qiqian, who was missing something, even more annoyed, thinking that Tang Zuo and the others were deliberately mocking him.

You must know that what eunuchs hate the most is when someone discusses matters between men and women in front of them. For inhumane eunuchs, it is tantamount to slapping them in the face.

"I think back when our family was the eunuch of Bingbi in the Supervisor of Rituals, you Qinjun originally ordered Luo Yangxing to come forward to salute our family when he saw our family. Every year, which one of the officials in the Qinjun hall is not polite? Send it to our house?
Things are different now!Some lowly people are becoming more and more ignorant of the rules!

Our family's dignified eunuch, who is a fourth-rank Shangyi supervisor, has been reduced to the point where he is allowed to be ridiculed and neglected by others. If it reaches the emperor's ears, who will be slapped in the face!
The emperor thought about it one day, and said that he must punish some despicable people!The talkative one directly pulled out the root of the tongue! "

After Gao Qiqian drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, he slammed the wine glass on the table, raised his eyes and looked at the pointed voice of the sky, with an arrogant expression on his face.

Tang Zuo and the others, who were joking, were taken aback when they heard the words. They looked at each other and the smiles on the back quickly disappeared. One of the captains glared at Gao Qiqian and wanted to shoot the case. Tang Zuo stopped him with a look, and turned to Gao Qiqian smiled and said: "Elder-in-law's words are very kind! If the emperor hadn't given the power to the army for several years, I am afraid that the senior officials such as us would bow our knees no matter what the hell we see! Let alone us eagle dogs! At the mercy of others?
It's getting late at this time, so hurry up and add food to the father-in-law!

Father-in-law must be full this time, and he will have the strength to travel far later! "

After Tang Zuo finished speaking, a school captain brought a large bowl of noodles to the table with a smile, and said to Gao Qi: "Elder-in-law, you can eat hard, and we can go on the road after eating!"

Originally, he was still high-spirited with his nostrils upturned, but when he heard the captain's words that seemed to have other intentions, and then thought of the strange behavior of Tang Zuo and others today, his face suddenly changed into a look of surprise. Looking at it, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the noodles, his complexion suddenly became extremely pale, the chopsticks in his hand could no longer be held, and fell to the ground with a snap.

There was a piece of raw meat buried under the noodles.

This is the decapitated meal that only prisoners who are about to be executed can eat.

Gao Qiqian, who is very familiar with all kinds of light and dark rules in the officialdom, saw this piece of raw meat, and found the answer to all the doubts in his heart in an instant.

The emperor sent him to this remote place suddenly, because he wanted him to die.

"Eunuch Gao, hurry up and eat, we can send you on your way while the sky is still dark! Otherwise, you will become a starving ghost when you get to the ground, and then you will suffer a lot!
The sons worked hard all afternoon to prepare the coffin for the grave. Don't worry, this time I specially found a treasured geomantic place for you, so that you will be reincarnated in a rich family in the next life! "

Seeing that Gao Qiqian had fully understood what was going on, Tang Zuo no longer concealed it, and instead spoke with a relaxed expression.

"Yes... Your Majesty?
Can our family know why? "

Gao Qiqian tried his best to maintain the last bit of dignity, tried to sit up straight, and asked in a trembling voice.

"I'm following orders, so I don't know why!

There is only one sentence in the emperor's oral instruction: Countless old friends from your previous life are waiting for you to meet in Jiazhuang!Especially Lu!

Father-in-law, please go on the road! "
