Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 45

What surprised the waiter in the store was that the shopkeeper, who had a bad temper and beat and scolded the employees frequently, suddenly had a good temper. When he was beaten by Chen Ci, he was not angry or angry. He just stroked his cheek and looked at Chen Ci in a daze. .

It's time for a dog.

The shop clerk looked like he had seen a ghost.

"My lord, everything the villain said is true." The shopkeeper had no choice but to reply.

"Try another fart?" Chen Ci looked at him coldly, raised his palm, and made a gesture to hit him hard. The shopkeeper wanted to hide, but was locked by a killing intent and couldn't move. He looked at Chen in horror. The complexion of the nine-foot man behind Ci changed slightly, and then, under his astonished eyes, the palm fell hard, and when he reacted, the shopkeeper only felt a burning pain on the left side of his face. Noisy, now suddenly quiet, everyone is watching this scene.

The shopkeeper just felt ashamed and lowered his head.

"Say, where is Cuiniang, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will cut your skin." Chen Ci was already in a bad mood, and this person dared to lie to him, so he took the opportunity to vent his anger.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and said bravely, "Master, I know who you are, but as the old saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. Master, you'd better leave this matter alone, lest you get burned."

"Snapped."

What responded to him was Chen Ci's slap.

After eating three big slaps in a row, the shopkeeper couldn't hold back anymore, his face suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Chen Ci sadly.

"What? Want to fight back?" Chen Ci was full of disdain, pointing at the shopkeeper's gloomy face, "Come on, come on, hit me, let's see if you have the guts."

The shopkeeper really didn't have the guts.

"Here comes the knife." Chen Ci waved his sleeve.

Fan Chu respectfully presented a steel knife.

After receiving the statement, he raised the blade, pointed at the shopkeeper's forehead, and said coldly: "I'll give you three breaths to tell the cause and effect, otherwise you will be killed if the knife falls. There is nothing my grandpa dare not do."

Of course the shopkeeper knows the courage of the people in front of him, not to mention the huge difference in status between the two, as far as he knows, in March and April, Chen Ci and General Yu Xiong, the deputy admiral of the "mang" army, led three thousand troops and surrounded the Dongying Street asked for ten thousand taels of gold, and even those domineering Dongying people were stunned in front of him. How could the shopkeeper dare to resist?As a result, he suddenly lost his spine, his legs trembled, and he knelt down with a "plop", "My son-in-law, please forgive me, my son-in-law, please forgive me, the villain just said..."

"Say."

The shopkeeper squinted at the onlookers, hesitating to speak, "My son-in-law, the matter is very important, can we clear the guests?"

Chen Ci laughed loudly: "Why, you have the guts to do it, but you don't have the guts to say it? Are you afraid that others will know about the nasty things you do in private?"

The shopkeeper cried and said, "My lord, it's not that a villain dares to say it, but that this matter is too important, and it won't be good for anyone if it gets out. Please think again, my lord."

"Snapped"

Chen Ci raised his leg and kicked it.

The shopkeeper kicked was covered in mud and was in a panic.

"Bullshit, hurry up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will give you a knife to let you know the color of the flower."

The shopkeeper was trembling, nodded in fear, and said, "My son-in-law, forgive me, the younger one, say it right away, say it right away."

Then, amidst the shopkeeper's flustered words, Chen Ci learned the ins and outs of the matter, and couldn't help being furious.

The little sister-in-law mentioned by the princess and Cuiniang mentioned by the shopkeeper, her original name was Xiao Cuicui, she was from Wengshan. Her husband, after the Lianchi uprising, joined the army in response to King Wu's call.In those few years, all the states were promoting "the rise and fall of the world, everyone is responsible", and many young people chose to join the army, serve the court, and participate in the battle on the battlefield, either for honor, ideals, or money. The military exploits won the glory and returned to the hometown.

That war was too cruel.

An understatement in history books is often the magnificent life of countless people.

In Qing history, the sentence "The imperial court united with the princes from all walks of life, formed a torrent of steel with millions of troops, and smashed the wolf ambitions of the clamoring rebels in the Jingxiang area with thunderous force" is a barren hill made up of countless dead bones. The corpse was buried in another country.Xiao Cuicui's husband was just one of thousands of brave young men, he couldn't come back, he stumbled and buried in that land with his ideals.

Later, the king of Wu rewarded his meritorious service and compensated countless gold and silver treasures to comfort the soldiers' families. Although Xiao Cuicui received a large sum of money, it was difficult for a woman's family to move even in this era.Her husband died, and he was excluded by her in-laws' family. When her relatives saw that there was no son in her family, they divided up her family's land. The mother-in-law was bewitched and kicked her out in a rage.Xiao Cuicui brought her young daughter and came to Guangling to beg for a living with a small amount of money. She thought she was a military widow and would get some preferential treatment, but the reality still gave her a loud slap in the face.The prosperity of Guangling and the brilliance in the opera house are places she will never be able to touch.People in the world don't miss the old days, there are too many military families, what is she?Not only did she not get any preferential treatment, but seeing that she was orphaned and widowed and had no man, she was often harassed. What's more, seeing how pretty she was, she wanted to take her as a concubine by force, but she refused.

In this era, women suffer.

Xiao Cuicui had nowhere to go, but fortunately she was helped by someone, and she managed to get back on her heels. With all her busy schedule, she was able to support her daughter.

The shopkeeper said that a few days ago, a general from the military camp came to buy cloth and took it back for the little lady to sew a jacket to keep out the cold. It happened that Xiao Cuicui's daughter came to bring her food that day. Moved.The general had special hobbies and was greedy for married women. What's more, the mother and daughter seemed to be carved out of the same mold, and there was no trace of age at all.The shopkeeper was doing business in Guangling, so he couldn't offend the government, and naturally he couldn't offend the military, so he greeted him with a smile and agreed.In this way, after the two hit it off, last night, the shopkeeper knocked out Xiao Cuicui's mother and daughter, and dedicated them to the general.

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's face was ashen, lying on the ground like a dog, weeping bitterly, exaggerating, saying that he was deceived by lard, that he was threatened by the general, and he was also a poor person.

Hearing this, Chen Ci was furious, and cut off the shopkeeper's ear with one knife. The latter wailed like a pig and rolled on the ground.

"What is the general's name and where does he live? Say, if you dare to say no, I will kill you."

The shopkeeper endured the pain and said, "The little one doesn't know where he lives, but I only know that I sent Xiao Cuicui's mother and daughter to Manjiang Tower yesterday..."

Manjiang Tower...
