The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The sound of the drum thud thud made people's hearts shine; amidst the sound of the drum, Xiao Jiuhu entered the arena pinching his knuckles, and Da Song immediately joined a soldier. 78

The two sides only met each other, and Xiao Jiuhu slapped the soldier on the ground with a slap, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.

There was a lot of sighs from Da Song's side. It seems that today's embarrassment has been thrown home. Not only will it be exhausted in ten games, but also a lot of money will be handed over. I really don't know what this Deputy Envoy Su is doing?Is it a disguised way to shoot Liao people's horse skin?But it's not quite like it.

Fu Bi shook his head and sighed, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He thought that Su Jin was so angry that he should not provoke him.

But the strange thing is, Fu Bi took a sneak peek, Su Jin not only didn't get angry, but got up with a smile, and respectfully took 200 taels of silver and presented it to Xiao Temo's desk.

Xiao Temo tilted his head and looked at Su Jin and said: "Little baby, you will spend a lot of money today, why don't we compare, calculate how much money you have, and you can give it together; I will give you a [-]% discount, how about it?" ?”

Su Jin laughed loudly, turned around and returned to his seat.

Liu Liufu scolded: "Don't cry if you don't see the coffin, don't look back if you don't hit the south wall, Master Xiao, don't be polite to him, today is the time to show off the prestige of our Daliao country, let the people of Song know what bravery is." , what is invincible in the world."

Xiao Temo laughed and said: "Do you think this envoy looks like he wants to be polite to him? Today this envoy will step them into the muddy ground and throw a few stones to suppress them. Hahaha."

The drums rang again and again, stopped and rang again. In the blink of an eye, four games were played, and there was no suspense that Su Jin lost again in the third and fourth games. By the way, the 500 taels of silver after the four games have piled up Xiao Temo's desk like a hill.

Xiao Temo had no choice but to order someone to take a few big baskets and put them beside the desk, and stretched out his hands like pulling donkey dung to pull all the money into the big baskets.

Everyone looked at Su Jin as if they were looking at an idiot, but the idiot didn't know it, and was still smiling, as if he was in a good mood after losing money and losing face.

This time even Fu Bi couldn't take it anymore. Before the fifth game started, he suddenly got up and left his seat to leave alone. His fragile little heart couldn't bear this scene; it was both humiliating and painful. This was a negotiation between the two countries. Just looking for abuse.

Su Jin grabbed Fu Bi, and said softly, "Brother Fu, don't be impatient, their good days are coming to an end."

Fu Bi sighed and said, "My dear brother, don't mess around, we... We really can't explain this time."

Su Jin insisted on pressing Fu Bi on the seat, stretched out his hand and said, "Start the competition."

The drums started again, Fu Bi had no choice but to lie down on the desk and couldn't bear to watch. He heard the drums fall, and the sound of fists and feet fighting came from the field, followed by a bang, and the crowd exploded, and there was no sound in an instant.

Fu Bi waited for a long time, but he didn't hear anyone speak. He only heard the wheezing and wheezing of the people around him and behind him. Suddenly, there was a loud roar like thunder, and he heard: "Good job, fight!" beautiful."

Following this loud shout, the Song Army behind him roared like thunder, stomping their feet and shouting deafeningly; when Fu Bi hurriedly looked up to the field, he saw a Song Army soldier stepping on a big man lying on the ground. Zi Tuantuan clasped his hands together, smiling all over his face.

Fu Bi jumped up, grabbed Su Jin's arm and asked, "My dear brother... have we won?"

Su Jin laughed loudly and said, "Seeing is believing, haven't you seen everything?"

Fu Bi felt ecstasy in his heart, his nose sore, and he almost shed tears.

Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu stared dumbfounded at the situation on the field. Xiao Temo rubbed his big eyes a few times with his big hands, and asked, "Is that right? The Six Tigers actually lost?"

Liu Liufu said with a mournful face, "Master Xiao, you read that right, you were indeed defeated; you were trampled underfoot."

"How did you lose? How is it possible?"

Standing behind him, Xiao Dahu said in a deep voice: "Master, Liuhu was impatient, he used too much force, and was overwhelmed by someone's skillful force; this is probably the skill of the people in the Central Plains who are good at using four or two to pull a thousand catties."

Xiao Temo yelled: "I don't care what I do, if anyone loses, they will be closed in the stable and whipped [-] lashes a day when they go back; if you don't have strength at critical times, what do you want?"

Xiao Dahu looked ashamed, and hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Your subordinate obeys the order, it will never happen again, this is an opportunistic move by the people of Song Dynasty, if you do it again, it is impossible to steal it later."

Su Jin over there has already started to shout: "Master Xiao, the silver is here, don't be reluctant."

Xiao Temo counted with his fingers for a long time and said: "How much."

Su Jin laughed and said: "The last round was 800 taels, this round is 600 taels, and you have a total of 500 taels. Please send me 100 taels."

Xiao Temo shook the flesh on his cheeks in distress, and ordered someone to take 100 taels and throw it in a basket for someone to carry to Su Jin's desk.

Su Jin laughed and said: "Cheng Rang admits that after working for a long time, I won it back in one game. People say that in the gambling field, money comes like a spring, and money goes like a landslide. It is true; is the money in the casino still money?" ? Just a bunch of fucking iron bumps."

The Song soldiers laughed out loud, Xiao Temo's nose was crooked in anger, and he cursed in a low voice.

Liu Liufu hurriedly said: "Master Xiao, don't be angry, this is only the fifth round, if you win the next round, you will get 200 taels of silver, and you will get it back in one round."

Xiao Temo patted the table and said, "Yes, it's not over yet."

The drums sounded, and the sixth game began. The Song Bing who came up was still as thin as a chicken, but it was this unattractive Song Bing with no flesh on his arms and thicker thighs than the opponent's arms. He was just playing on the field. Turning around, he kicked Wuhu's leg at last, and Wuhu fell to the ground with a bang, panting as he crawled.

Da Song burst into applause and thunderous applause, and everyone was smiling. Xiao Te from the Liao Kingdom jumped three feet high, and the five tigers who came back dejectedly slapped the five tigers with blood all over their faces. .

Without saying a word, Su Jin stretched out his hand and looked up at Xiao Temo.Xiao Temo babbled and cursed a few words in Khitan, but he had no choice but to order someone to send over 200 taels of silver. The coward in his heart was more disgusting than eating a dead mouse.

How could Su Jin let him go? He stretched out his hand to pick up a silver ingot in the basket, looked at it in front of his eyes, and said, "The quality of your Liao country's silver is really not good. This silver is black with yellow in it, and I don't know how many impurities are mixed with it." , I think only [-]% of them are the most."

Xiao Temo said angrily: "I didn't make the silver. I use it all over Daliao. If you don't want it, just take it back."

Su Jin put his hand away and said with a smile: "Why? No matter how bad the quality is, it's still money; envoy Xiao, can you compare?"

Xiao Temo sneered and said, "Of course I did, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

Su Jin laughed and said: "It's still a loss compared to you, why don't you admit defeat in the remaining four games, and send over the money, I'll give you a [-]% discount."

Xiao Temo laughed back angrily, pointed at Su Jin and said: "Well, good skill, I treat you like a baby, but I underestimate you, you are very good, no wonder your emperor sent you to negotiate with us. "

Su Jin chuckled and said, "Even if you wake up early, it's not too late; we Han people have a saying, 'It's never too late to mend a dead sheep', I advise you to stop now, everyone has a step down, otherwise it will be too late." It’s not easy to clean up.”

Xiao Temo gritted his teeth and said: "It's up to you to teach me a lesson, it depends on how capable you are. Stop talking nonsense and start the competition."

Su Jin said seriously: "I want to remind you that the next bet is 400 taels of silver, which is a lot of silver."

Xiao Temo said angrily: "Don't worry about him, stop talking nonsense."

Su Jin threw the silver in his hand into the basket, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's continue."

The drums sounded again, and this time Song Jun played the fourth-to-last place Zhao Hu. Wang Chao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's up to you, don't embarrass our young master."

Zhao Hu said indifferently: "Leave it to me. I don't pay attention to such a stupid cow."

Zhang Long said: "Don't underestimate the enemy."

Zhao Hu shook his arms and made a run-up, a somersault in the air landed on the field, and suddenly there was a thunderous sound; the Liao people knew that this was another hard stubble, and Du Hu deliberately adjusted the order temporarily. The four tigers played, but two tigers were sent on top.

As soon as Zhao Hu and Xiao Erhu met each other, they had already started fighting without too much politeness or probing. Xiao Erhu not only had excellent kung fu, but since his moves were also well-made, it seemed that he had learned martial arts from a Central Plains martial artist , coupled with the strength of his fists and feet, Zhao Hu felt as if he was surrounded by a lot of hammers and hammers. He accidentally got kicked in the leg, and the pain was so painful that he took several steps back to stabilize his figure.

Everyone in the Liao Kingdom was cheering and regretful. The one who cheered was that the opponent was obviously not Xiao Erhu's opponent. What was a pity was that he only staggered a few steps after being kicked, but did not fall. According to the rules, if he falls to the ground, he loses. The earth can fight again.

Xiao Erhu strode forward aggressively, and threw his fist at Zhao Hu's face. Zhao Hu's thigh hurt, and he couldn't turn well. And rise.

Xiao Erhu's other hand grabbed Zhao Hu's belt and lifted Zhao Hu high with all his strength, and smashed it to the ground with all his strength.

The crowd exclaimed, and everyone could see that Xiao Erhu wanted to kill Zhao Hu intentionally. When he smashed it down, he turned Zhao Hu's head downwards. It's strange to smash your head and bloom.

I heard a roar that resounded through the audience; Zhao Hu's head was blooming but I saw Xiao Erhu's head covered in blood. Bloody scalp; it turned out that Zhao Hu grabbed Xiao Erhu's funny little braids on his bare scalp in the air, and with the force of Xiao Erhu's fall, even his hair and scalp were pulled off; his head was immediately covered in blood .

Zhao Hu didn't have any compassion. When Xiao Erhu was holding his head and screaming in pain, Zhao Hufei kicked Xiao Erhu's belly sideways, and Xiao Erhu's heavy body fell down with a loud splash. Dust everywhere.

"You are cheating, you are cheating." Liu Liufu shouted loudly.

Fu Bi came and shouted in high spirits: "Nonsense, what are you kidding about? We didn't use weapons, and we didn't use ruthless tactics. It's reasonable to win."

"It's been said so far, you actually pulled your scalp off."

"Damn it, why don't you stop talking until you beat us two brothers to vomit blood?" Song soldiers shouted and cursed.

Liu Liufu was at a loss for words, and looked at Xiao Temo, who had a gloomy face, and his heart skipped a beat; Xiao Temo was furious, his eyes were red, he was already like a wild beast that preys on people.
