Chapter 629: The Nightmare of King Wu's Staff
Chapter 629: The Nightmare of the King of Wu’s Aides
Meng Datian and Meng Xiaotian were originally from that group in the imperial guards. When the chiefs of the imperial guards mentioned them, they often said that they could not do anything they could do and would not eat anything left. They had been with the brothers for half their lives, but since they had gotten into contact with Wang Ping'an, no chiefs would say that to them again!
The reason is very simple. It is not that their popularity has suddenly improved, nor that their ability to do things has improved. It is because they were promoted too quickly, and their former superiors have become their subordinates!
It is not an exaggeration to describe the Montessori brothers as a striking success. Now their superiors will not say that they are nothing. On the contrary, if a higher superior asks who is the best in the Eastern Palace Guards? The superiors will definitely say that they are the Montessori brothers. When the Montessori brothers have money, they will do their best to curry favor with the superiors. This is called the flower sedan chair and everyone will take their needs!
However, the Meng brothers had not contacted Wang Ping'an for a while. Since Wang Ping'an had a guard group, the guards could solve him any problems, and they basically didn't need them anymore. Since then, they have never been promoted. This time, Mi Xiaomiao suddenly heard a message and asked them to accompany them to Qingzhou to see Wang Ping'an. The Meng brothers almost lost their joy. It was because they had hoped for the opportunity, and their brothers' officials were about to jump up again.
With a pride, they invited several officials and a group of subordinates. After the pay-off, they went to the restaurant to have a drink and celebrate. If they wanted to treat them, they naturally could not spend money in other restaurants, so the wealth would not flow to outsiders' fields. The Montessors held a banquet at the medicinal meal shop in the East City, and booked a large room to entertain their colleagues.
I was drinking and was having a happy meal when suddenly a young man came in to report and told the Montessori that someone had paid for their wine bill.
A guard laughed and said, "Hey, this flattery is enough to make money. This meal is not cheap!"
Meng Xiaotian said, "Who asked us? It's rare for such a generous person to take action!"
Meng Datian smiled and said, "If we had known that someone would invite this meal, we should have called more expensive dishes and enjoy it."
Meng Xiaotian stood up and said, "I'll go out and see who invited the guests. I have to thank them."
A general grabbed Meng Xiaotian and said, "Sit down, don't rush out. Since that person treats you, he must have come with something and paid for the wine in the name of making friends. Since he wants to make friends, let him come by himself. Why have you been there? It's him begging you, not you begging him!"
This general is the current commander of the Montessori brothers. He speaks well and has a wide range of knowledge. He is good at all kinds of flattery skills. When he hears the friend say someone treats a meal, he knows what's going on. Since someone is willing to flatter, then he can get the ban on the ban and let him come over!
When Meng Xiaotian heard this, he smiled and said, "The general is still calm, but the general is still not in a good mood. If you encounter any trouble, you will be anxious!" He sat down again, and the guards continued to shout and yell, eating and drinking as usual, ignoring the person who was treating him.
Seeing this, the guy went to the next room and said to the two inside: "Reply to the words of the two guests, General Meng said, "If you have something to do, go over and talk!" As he said that, he turned around and left.
In this room, there were two middle-aged scholars, dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding fans, with a very good deed. When they heard the guy's words, their faces immediately sank. One of them in a blue robe said, "A group of ungrateful wolves who are not fed, their faces are several cents. It's a big deal. I wonder if the manager can sell them after he goes back."
Another person wearing a green robe said, "The manager will not let us pay for it. The prince is not a stingy person."
The man wearing a blue robe asked, "What should we do? Let's go over? These soldiers are not polite and eat and drink for nothing. They don't even have the word "Thank you". We have to go over to see them. There is no such reason in the world!"
The man wearing a green robe yelled and said, "It's not a traitor. You think you're stupid. We have paid for the wine. Of course they have to keep it tight so that we can take out more!"
These two were both aides in the King of Wu's Mansion. They were ordered by Li Ke to come out to find out the news. Because something happened in the King of Wu's Mansion, it was the worst major event in Chang'an City since the commencement of the court. Someone actually ran to the King of Wu's Mansion to kill people, and in one kill, there were five or four servants, and there was also a former aide Gao Wanquan who was in the mansion.
Since the day when the Wu Palace was founded and built, such a bad thing had never happened until the day before yesterday, and it was the kind of person who could not report to the official. Because it was involved in the struggle in the officialdom, Li Ke could only knock down his teeth and swallow it. He did not dare to report to the official. Besides, since he dared to rush into his house to kill people, it was obvious that he was not afraid of him reporting to the official!
Li Ke was furious in the mansion and furious at the capable people under his command. It was useless to scold them. They were bullied and came to the door. He didn't even know who did it!
The aides quickly offered advice. Anyway, there were many aides in the King of Wu's mansion, and they were killed and recruited again and again. There were never fewer people who wanted to get a wrongdoer. The aides analyzed and said that this matter was a demonstration. Wasn't Gao Wanquan sent to Wang Ping'an? Now that the body was thrown to the door of his house, isn't this the point of making it clear that Wang Ping'an declares war on the King of Wu!
Li Ke didn't believe that it was Wang Ping'an. Although he didn't know Wang Ping'an's character, he knew that Wang Ping'an would definitely not do such a 25-eye thing. What's the use of provoking him? People in the officialdom have always been playing tricks behind the scenes, either don't play, or you will be killed if you want to play! Wang Ping'an will definitely not do anything like killing Gao Wanquan. It is more shocking than killing him. As long as Wang Ping'an let Gao Wanquan live, he dare not do anything. On the contrary, if Gao Wanquan dies, he will be in danger if he loses the handle!
It wasn't the one that Wang Ping'an killed. Who would have killed it? Even if they were exhausted, they would never have thought that Gao Wanquan was so powerful that he could escape from Qingzhou and almost successfully escaped from the pursuit!
Li Ke discussed with his staff all night but did not analyze who it was. He really couldn't guess how Gao Wanquan died at the back door, and he also implicated the servants being killed!
Li Ke was unable to do so, so he had to send his staff and talented people from the mansion to find out the news in the market. In this era, if you want to find out what news, you can only listen to it through a tavern or a public place, and then come back to analyze it after listening, which is the so-called rumors in the world!
The two new faces who came to the Medicinal Food House to inquire about the news were two new faces, who had just entered the Wu Palace and were eager to make contributions. These two were staff members. When they heard a group of soldiers shouting in the next room, they kept saying princes and other words, as well as Qingzhou and other words. They probably were talking about Wang Ping'an. How could they give up this opportunity? They naturally had to spend money to make friends with them.
Unexpectedly, they are new people in the flattery world. In the eyes of the imperial guards, the little flattery is not worth mentioning at all. They didn't come to make friends with them at all. Instead, they didn't count on spending money to play with them, and they had to go and give gifts to them.
The staff member in the blue robe said, "Forget it, people are under the eaves, so how can we not bow our heads? Let's go over and say hello!"
Although the two felt a little embarrassed, they couldn't do it, so they had to get up and go to the next door.
Meng Xiaotian saw two sour Dings and whispered to his brother: "Brother, we have nothing to do with scholars, why do they flatter us?"
Meng Datian thought about it and was embarrassed to speak. The other party had already entered the house. He said anything he could hear.
He said, "Dare you ask about the two names of Gao, we have seen them before?"
The staff member in the blue robe bowed and said, "The student's surname is He, this is my classmate, and his surname is Lu."
Meng Datian quickly stood up and smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Mr. He and Mr. Lu, who have long been famous and well-known. I wonder why you two want to invite us rough men to drink?"
The guards at the table laughed out loud. They only knew what their surname was, but they didn’t know what their name was. What’s the point of relying on their name for a long time?
Aide He said: "There are brothers everywhere. We heard the brothers talking about the princes and princes of Qingzhou next door, but they meant the little miracle doctor of Ping An? He is a great kind man. We came from other places and heard it. We felt something from my heart, so we just came over to make friends!"
The mainland staff smiled and said, "We really want to hear about the deeds of the prince. I wonder if you brothers can tell us?"
The guards looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were all disappointed. Everyone was drinking happily, but there were two sour diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced dic
A general of the Imperial Guard said, "We don't know much about the prince. His deeds..." It felt that people in Chang'an said they didn't know Wang Ping'an, which was a bit unreasonable. But he still said, "We don't know much, and I've neglected you. You two invite us to drink. We are very grateful, but seeing that you are also busy people, why don't you go and be busy first?"
The two generals of the imperial guards looked at each other and praised each other. Well, this is the order to expel the guests. They have to say something clearly. Listening to Wang Ping'an's deeds is pure nonsense. Just pulling someone over on the street can tell a lot of things about Wang Ping'an. Why spend money to ask us? These two people must have something to do. As long as we keep it tight, they have to spend money, offer filial piety, straighten their necks, and let us kill them as suspicions!
Meng Datian thought even more: "No matter what they ask us, we will agree first, and wait until we get Xiaojing, and then tell them that they can't do it... Well, there is no need to say so quickly. Anyway, we will be away from Beijing for a while, and he can't find anyone, so Xiaojing cannot go back!"
Otherwise, these two aides were very embarrassed, and they didn't hear the meaning of blackmail. They thought they were really expelled! Although they read a lot of books, none of them had written about how to kill the enemy, nor did they say how to be a victim! They felt very unhappy, and they even saved the surrender and turned away from the room.
The general of the guard who spoke before was very unhappy and cursed: "These two dog-like sour tinkers are so unaware of the rules. If they ask them to leave, they will really leave. I don't say anything clearly!"
Other guards quickly advised him that they were just sour, and if they wanted to lose their faces, they would just let them lose their faces. Anyway, the money for the wine was theirs! Everyone started to eat and drink, and there was a sucker to pay the bill. They were not polite and ordered a lot of wine and food, and they were even happier.
The two aides returned to their room and listened with their ears, but they didn't hear anything useful next door say. They were depressed and asked the guy to come and check the bill.
Aide He asked the clerk: "Woman, why do those who are in the army have to celebrate? Is it related to the princes and princes of Qingzhou?"
The guy laughed and said, "Of course it's related. Two of the generals are on a business trip tomorrow and are going to meet our boss in Gyeongju. Tonight, they are practicing wine."
"Your boss? Who is your boss? Isn't it a prince?" Aide He asked in surprise.
The guy nodded and said, "Yes, our boss is the prince. You two don't know, you just came to Chang'an?" He was also surprised. He didn't know that the Medicinal Food Floor was bought and sold by Wang Ping'an, and there were really no few in Chang'an City.
The two aides whined together. They were indeed Chang'an, and the Wu Prince's Mansion was on the "employment of people", so they were successfully aides. They were sent here because they were new faces. However, the person who sent them did not say that this was Wang Ping'an's business. They thought they knew it, but they didn't know it!
Aide He waved his hand and said, "Okay, we know. Check out, how much is it?" Chang'an is not easy to live, so he probably won't spend several cents of this meal! He reached into his arms and went to get the money bag.
The man hurriedly said, "You two have a meal cost of 120 cents, and the table next door is 61 cents. Our shopkeeper said that you two have a meal cost of 120 cents, and you only need to pay the next door. If you just need to pay 60 cents, you will be fine!"
"More, more, how much?" Aide He almost fainted. He thought it would be quite expensive for several cents, but he didn't expect it to be dozens of cents!
The guy laughed. You are such a sucker, it is really rare. Don’t pretend to be generous if you can’t afford it! He said, “There are not so many people at first. Those generals are not so generous in drinking, but today you are invited. So they just ordered a lot of dishes and picked the best ones. Once they have finished, they will be less than 60 stakes!"
Aide He and his aide looked at each other. The news they found out from their friends was more than those soldiers and generals, and they were even expelled from others. Not counting this, they had to pay such a large amount of alcohol for them, which was 60 trump cards. It was enough to buy two living people in the market!
The guy looked at the two living people in front of him and whispered: "If you two want to go back on your word and don't want to pay for them, you have to go over and explain this to them yourself. However, Xiaodi reminds you that these military masters have bad tempers, especially when they drink too much!"
How dare they go over? Aide He stuttered: "But... but we are sixty trump cards, who can bring so much cash on us!"
The guy gave him an idea: "Or what if you leave one and the other will go back to withdraw the money?"
Both staff members were almost crying in a hurry. You are not wrong. They were both embarrassed and threw them home. If they were thrown into their own house, they would be fine. They would actually throw them into their opponent's house and one of them would be detained. The other one would have to go back to withdraw money to redeem! This matter must be known to the King of Wu, so they are all staff members, which is too useless!
