Chapter 243: The scourge of Jizhou (Part 2)
We gathered with Li Lang, Wang Wu and a few lackeys together for a New Year's Eve dinner. The next day was the first day of the third year of Jian'an. Before dawn, our Yang Changshi crawled out of the pink arms of the girls Ayi and Xu Xue early. While yawning, let the girls Ayi and Xu Xue serve to wash and dress themselves up with breakfast, change clothes, and prepare to go to the Yehou Mansion (the later title of the Grand Duke of Yuan San) to congratulate Da Yuan San on behalf of Deputy Director Tao to the Grand Duke of Yuan San to celebrate the New Year's greetings, which is commonly known as the New Year's greetings.
Because the Grand Duke of Yuan San is not the emperor yet, our Yang Changshi didn't need to wear a serious and black official uniform and was reserved and awkward. He asked the girl Ayi to choose a very luxurious silk deep robe for himself, put on a Jinxian crown (the kind of hat that Lu Su often wore in the old version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), wore a fur coat with white fox fur to protect the cold, and tied the exquisite belt sent by his beloved disciple Ayi, dressed himself up in a gorgeous manner, and then kissed the girls Ayi and Xu Xue, took Li Lang and Wang Wu, picked up the gifts that were prepared to give to Grand Duke of Yuan San, and went out to Grand Duke of Yuan San, and went out in a coquettish manner to go to Grand Duke of Yuan San.
When we arrived at the Yehou Mansion with a swagger, there were already long queues of carriages and horses at the door of the house of the Sangong of Dayuan, and the crowded with the civil and military officials and their entourages from Jizhou who came to pay New Year's greetings to Dayuan. Our Yang Changshi had long been looking forward to staying in Jizhou as an official, but did not dare to bully the subordinates and beauties as before in Huainan. Instead, he treated everyone to Jizhou civil and military officials who met with him and said some hypocritical and polite New Year's words. Unfortunately, our Yang Changshi's reputation is too unfair, so except for the officials of the Prince Yuan Shang's party, almost no other Jizhou civil and military officials were willing to say a word to Yang Changshi, which made Yang Changshi very quietly dissatisfied.
"A group of men dare to look down on me? When I enter the Jizhou officialdom, I will see how I deal with you!"
After being neglected by Jizhou officials again, Yang Changshi, who had never been known for his broad mind, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He first turned his wretched old face away, lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said the above words in his heart. When he looked up, Yang Changshi couldn't help but be stunned, and then his wretched old face also showed a look of fear. It turned out that when our Yang Changshi turned his head, he happened to see someone else. It happened that he was the Jizhou Bian Jiatian Toyota Yuanhao who had scolded Yang Changshi so hard that he had been cursed by Yang Changshi.
"The foreign minister has met Mr. Yuanhao. Mr. Yukio is very happy in the new year."
No matter how much you hate and fear Mr. Tian Feng, you still have to say the New Year. However, when our Changshi Yang gritted the bullet and greeted Tian Feng, he received Mr. Tian Feng's anger and scolded him without any mercy. "You are shameless villain, you have the face to congratulate my lord on behalf of the envoy Tao. I really don't know if the envoy Tao is blind or confused. He actually repurposes you, a shameless villain who is completely unfaithful."
Yang Changshi's vulgar face suddenly became longer than a donkey, which was fine. Another person next to him stood up and grabbed Tian Feng, but it was Jizhou who was engaged in Jusu. Jusu seemed to know what happened that night, so he pulled Tian Feng and just advised: "Brother Yuanhao, please calm down. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. He is on behalf of the Tao envoy of Xuzhou to celebrate the New Year to his lord. Brother Yuanhao should not have the same knowledge as him."
"Hmph." Tian Feng snorted heavily, reluctantly accepted Ju Su's dissuasion, and hummed again: "A despicable villain who is selling his owners and seeking honor, letting him enter the lord's mansion really dirty the ground of the lord's mansion!"
After humming, Tian Feng and Ju Su left, leaving Yang Changshi in awkward position, with his face blue and red, and his heart was filled with hatred in his heart. It was not until Tian Feng and Ju Su left that Yang Changshi said in a very narrow voice in the curious eyes of many Jizhou officials: "I am too lazy to see you, I am abandoning Yuan Shu and casting my master, casting darkness and casting the light, not like you, a hypocrite, who, in order to force me to arrange your nephew to be an official in Xuzhou, he threatened the third son's work!"
"What does this mean?" Many officials in Jizhou heard Yang Changshi's words and remembered Yang Changshi's words in their hearts.
Not long after this episode, the gate of the Yehou Mansion of the Three Duke of the Great Yuan was finally opened. Officials from Jizhou flocked in and arrived at the courtyard station in front of the lobby to wait for the summons of the Three Duke of the Great Yuan. Yang Changshi also brought Li to the Yehou Man Mansion alone. He was still dying and stood with Man Chong. Man Chong was also following Yang Changshi's beloved disciple A Yi. However, in this case, Yang Changshi and the young A Yi could not talk intimately. At the same time, Yang Changshi and Mr. Man Chong were not very good at meeting each other, so after symbolic ceremonies, Yang Changshi completely closed his mouth and waited for the long ceremony to end.
How troublesome and complicated is the New Year ceremony of Da Yuan Sangong, who was born in the family of the Three Dukes of Four generations? I won’t introduce it one by one here. In short, it took almost two hours to stand in the yard before the poor Yang Changshi was able to enter the lobby to Da Yuan Sangong, and on behalf of Deputy Director Tao, I wish my father-in-law a happy New Year and a hundred years of life. Then I kowtow to Da Yuan Sangong, wishing him a happy New Year and good luck. Then I have to submit a gift list to ask Da Yuan Sangong to accept the gift. Fortunately, Da Yuan Sangong was not allowed to kneel on the cold and hard ground because he had to accept too many guests. After leaving the scene, Yang Changshi waited aside and prepared to attend the New Year banquet at the Yehou Mansion.
The proper lobby sat on the right side, and looked at Da Yuan San Gong with sleepy eyes to accept the congratulations of all officials. The yawning and waiting for the boring scene ended. Our Yang Changshi did not notice that Mr. Yuan Tan, who was standing behind Da Yuan San Gong, and Mr. Guo Tu and Xin Ping, who were sitting on the right side of Da Yuan San Gong, were all peeking at themselves from time to time, and were still trying to find ways to peek at the lustful and ecstatic gaze of his waistband, as if he wanted to take down Yang Changshi's pants and make a base.
It was also at this time that our Yang Changshi finally discovered that being an official in Xuzhou is better than being an official in Jizhou. That is, the Xuzhou Demolition Office likes to pay attention to efficiency and does not like red tape. If you can hold a ceremony, try not to get away with it. The ceremony and ceremony that you can't avoid is also purely a formality. At most, it will be done in a hurry. It is far from being as troublesome and wasteful as Jizhou. The rules of the Grand Yuan Sangong's family are so annoying that our Yang Changshi can't help but mutter, "It's not good to go back to Xuzhou. At least Tao Ying's little thief is not like Benchugong. He will let me sit here for so much time."
The boring New Year greeting ceremony finally ended after noon, and finally it was time for the meals of Da Yuan Sangong's vegetarian house. The servants gave him wine and food. Da Yuan Sangong, who was full of spring breeze, raised his glass to invite everyone to drink. Yang Changshi, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, was not polite. After celebrating Da Yuan Sangong a cup, he soon started to chew on the case like a hungry ghost. Most of the officials in Jizhou were not happy. For a moment, the lobby was filled with cups and plates. The laughter and the sound of congratulations to each other in the New Year were endless.
What should come finally came. When Yang Changshi, who only ate one Hu cake in the morning, was eating and drinking for two years. Mr. Yuan Tan, whose injuries had been much healed, suddenly came to Yang Changshi with a glass of wine and smiled at Yang Changshi for the first time and said, "Mr. Zhongming, although Mr. and Tan have always had misunderstandings, it is the New Year today, and Mr. Tan is drinking with Tan. As a junior, Tan is also forgiven by the envoy Tao. He will respect Mr. Guanjun for any reason, thank him for his kindness and wish him a hundred feet of money in his career in the New Year. Go further."
"This kid took the wrong medicine? Why are you so friendly to me today?" Yang Changshi was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears. However, when he saw Mr. Yuan Tan handing the cup in his hands, Yang Changshi didn't dare to give face. He quickly held up his wine glass with both hands, and while returning the salute to Mr. Yuan Tan, he said hypocritically: "Thank you, the foreign minister, and I wish the eldest son Wu Yun to be prosperous, and to be invincible."
Yang Changshi's words were simply a typical pot without opening. Just as Mr. Yuan Tan, who suffered humiliation due to the crushing defeat in Langya, changed his face and almost wanted to strangle Yang Changshi to death on the spot. However, for the sake of major events, Mr. Yuan Tan still suppressed the anger in his chest and drank a glass with Yang Changshi with a smile. When Yang Changshi just put down the wine glass, Mr. Xin Ping also brought the cup to Yang Changshi and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhongming, my younger brother Xin Pi offended Mr. Tao's lord Tao, the previous one, and the Tao's lord was very rude. He was very grateful to the brothers who were watching and not killing him. This glass of wine was for Mr. Jinggong, and I hope that Mr. Wang would not refuse."
"This guy took the wrong medicine, too?"
If it were Deputy Director Tao or Jia Lao poison, we would have noticed that the situation was wrong. However, our Changshi Yang was quite confused. Not only did he not feel alert, he also quickly hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him. He rushed to get a spoon to add wine to himself. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan Tan had already grabbed the spoon and smiled while scooping the wine, saying, "Don't bother Mr. Zhongming, let Mr. Tan add a bar."
"I dare not, don't dare, who is Hong? How dare I help the young master add wine?"
Yang Changshi was humble and quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands to pick up the wine. Unexpectedly, our Master Yuan Tan's obvious eyes were bad. The wine spoon actually passed over the wine glass and poured a full spoon of wine on Yang Changshi's waist, which made Yang Changshi's bee waist and between his legs, and a large area of wine was wet. Seeing this, Master Yuan Tan suddenly screamed in shock, "Oh, offend, come quickly, serve Mr. Zhongming to change his clothes."
As soon as he finished speaking, two servants rushed up with replacement clothes and belts. Seeing this, the clever Xun Chen, Tian Feng, Ju Su, Xu You, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others suddenly became suspicious and thought to themselves: "Why is it arranged in advance? What exactly do the eldest son want to do?"
"What's wrong?" Grand Duke Yuan San was also careful and asked.
"The child was careless and when he added wine to Mr. Zhongming, he accidentally poured the wine on Mr. Zhongming and asked his father to forgive him." Mr. Yuan Tan quickly explained to his father, and then quickly turned to Changshi Yang to confess his crime, saying, "Sir, don't blame him, Tan did it without intention, please forgive him."
"It's okay, it's okay." Yang Changshi, who still thinks it's just a chance, suddenly remembered a big thing, jumped up quickly, and hurriedly untied his belt. The belt contained the blood edict of Emperor Xian of Han. If he was soaked in wine, it would be a crime of disrespect.
"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Mr. Yuan Tan and Mr. Xin Ping were ecstatic, and they also hurried to help Yang Changshi untie their belts, but said, "Mr. Zhongming, let us help you change your clothes."
While speaking, the deadly belt had been removed from Yang Changshi. One end was held by Yang Changshi, and the other end was taken by Mr. Yuan Tan. It was at this time that Yang Changshi, who had basically nothing but wine, sex, wealth and energy in our heads, finally woke up. He quickly grabbed the belt with both hands and said, "Young Master, let Hong do it by himself."
"Mr. Zhongming, don't be polite. This belt is wet, so let's change one first." Mr. Yuan Tan of course refused to let go, and also grabbed the belt with both hands. He ordered: "Hurry, serve Mr. Zhongming to change his clothes."
"Young Master, let it go." Yang Changshi finally became anxious and pulled the belt tightly. Xin Pingze and two servants who had been bribed long ago. The two servants pretended to change clothes and one of them grabbed Yang Changshi's hand, while Mr. Xin Ping tried to pull Yang Changshi's fingers hard. Pulling and pulling it was like a scheming. Our Yang Changshi was so anxious that he was sweating tightly. He held the belt tightly but refused to put it, "Young Master, what are you doing? What are you doing? This is my belt, my belt!"
After such a big disturbance, Yang Changshi just wanted to not attract everyone's attention in the lobby. The Grand Duke of Yuan San shouted in anger: "Stop! What are you doing? What's the etiquette for you to fight for a belt?!"
The order of the Grand Duke of Yuan San failed for the first time. Mr. Yuan Tan and Yang Changshi were still pulling it. With the help of others, they finally grabbed the belt. Then they quickly retreated. Our Changshi Yang was also blushed. Regardless of his pants falling to the ground, he rushed up naked, trying to grab the belt that had countless heads and his bright future. Unfortunately, Mr. Xin Ping hugged Mr. Yang Hong from behind, and the two servants also fought together. The three of them worked together to hold Yang Changshi. Yang Changshi was furious and roared angrily in front of many strong men: "What do you want to do? What do you want to do?! Return my belt!!!"
Seeing such a scene, even though he was ambitious and talented, he realized that the situation was wrong. He quickly stood up and asked, "Tan'er, what are you doing?"
"Report to my father, the child has not done anything." Mr. Yuan Tan's face, which had been in vain for many years, finally showed some smiles. He held the belt and smiled at the Grand Duke Yuan San and said, "Please forgive me. My father accidentally sprinkled the wine on Mr. Zhongming. He wanted to change clothes and apologize for Mr. Zhongming, but he didn't know why Mr. Zhongming was so important to this belt?"
With a treacherous smile, Mr. Yuan Tan carefully checked the belt, and then immediately screamed in surprise, "There are letters in the belt! There are letters in the belt? What kind of letters are actually sewn in the belt? And they have to be tied to Mr. Zhongming's waist?"
"Letter?!" Shen Pei and Feng Ji's faces changed. They quickly turned their heads to see Mr. Yuan Shang, and screamed in their hearts, "Young Master, don't be your secret letter to Mr. Tao?"
"Letter?!" Mr. Yuan Shang's face changed without knowing why. He quickly turned his head to look at Shen Pei and Feng Ji, screaming in his heart, "Mr. Zhengnan, Mr. Yuantu, do you know what kind of letters it is? Don't be a letter that is not good for me?"
Mr. Yuan Shang and Shen Pei, the two gentlemen Feng Ji, did not escape Mr. Guo Tu's eyes. Seeing Mr. Yuan Shang's face was shocked and had not spoken, Mr. Guo Tu finally felt at ease. He stood up and bowed to Mr. Yuan San and said, "Lord, Mr. Zhongming hid the letter so confidentially. I don't know if it is related to my Jizhou? Tu thought that the lord might as well ask Mr. Zhongming for a little question."
"It has nothing to do with Jizhou, it has nothing to do with it!" Yang Changshi shouted quickly, and then Yang Changshi suddenly woke up and shouted at Mr. Yuan Tan: "You did it on purpose, you sprinkled wine on me on purpose, right?!"
"Mr. I misunderstood. Tan was really careless." Mr. Yuan Tan said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhongming must blame him, then Tan just compensates Mr. Tan for a new set of clothes and belts."
After saying that, Mr. Yuan Tan added in his heart with great viciousness, "I compensate you for a new set of clothes for death row prisoners!"
"Give me back the belt, the letters in the belt are my personal things! You can't read them!" Yang Changshi roared in anger.
Mr. Yuan Tan smiled even happier, and suddenly turned to Mr. Yuan Shang, and said with a smile: "Third brother, Mr. Zhongming said that the letters in this belt are his personal things, and you and my brother are not allowed to watch them. I wonder what the third brother thinks?"
"It's true that it's related to the fight for the throne?" Most of the Jizhou civil and military officials present were sweating coldly, and they quickly closed their mouths together, for fear that they would bring disaster.
Mr. Yuan Shang did embroider the pillows. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but when he saw Yang Changshi's violent reaction, he saw the hideous smile on his lord's face. Mr. Yuan Shang, who was not afraid of being a skewed shadow, suddenly felt guilty, and his answer was a little trembling, "Brother. Since this is Mr. Zhongming's personal thing, please return it to Mr. Zhongming."
"Why does the third young master look like this? Could it be that the secret letter in his belt is a letter from the third young master and Tao Envoy? A shameful secret letter?!" Almost all the civil and military officials in Jizhou were so suspicious in their hearts.
After a grim smile at the third brother, who was obviously already showing a false appearance, Mr. Yuan Tan turned to the third brother of Yuan again, and held the belt and knelt down to the third brother of Yuan on both knees. He said respectfully and proudly: "Father, my third brother said that this belt containing the secret letter must be returned to Mr. Zhongming. I wonder what my father wants?"
"Two beasts!" The Grand Duke Yuan's face began to turn blue. However, he had not had Alzheimer's disease yet. He had already vaguely guessed that this matter must be related to his two precious sons' competition for favor. He also believed that the belt was hidden in the secret letter of communication between his favorite third son and his unfilial son-in-law Deputy Director Tao!
"Why did Yuan Tan pull this on the third young master?" The brain cells in Yang Changshi's head that were almost squeezed by the beauty of money had no place. He finally got the opportunity to play. He quickly analyzed: "The belt is the Emperor's Blood Edict. This is the territory of Yuan Shao's man in Yecheng, Jizhou. I searched it from me. At most, the origin of the Blood Edict would be a little bit explained. Yuan Shao's man saw the Blood Edict, and he would neither kill me nor have any reason to punish me. Maybe he would give me some reward, and he had no relationship with Yuan Shang's man."
"But why did Yuan Tan's son take a lot of effort to snatch the belt from me and drag Yuan Shang's son into this matter..."
"Do you say?!"
Yang Changshi is actually not stupid, he is just too obsessed with official power. Only the beauty of money can be seen in his eyes gives people a sense of stupidity. Otherwise, the stupid Yang Changshi would not have been able to reach his current position. So after thinking about it, he suddenly recalled what he said on the belly of the beautiful woman, and Yang Changshi immediately woke up. Then, a trace of treacherous smile also appeared on the corner of our Yang Changshi's mouth......
"ah!"
Yang Changshi suddenly screamed like a pig, and suddenly used his strength to stomp on Mr. Xin Ping's instep. The pain made Mr. Xin Ping scream like a pig. Then Yang Changshi took the opportunity to shake off two Yuan Mansion servants who dared not be dying on him, pounced on him with bare butt, hugged Mr. Yuan Tan, who had not healed, and pressed Mr. Yuan Tan, who had not recovered, to the ground. Then he reached out to snatch Mr. Yuan Tan, who thought that Mr. Yuan Tan was trying to snatch the belt in his hand, so he quickly held the belt tight. Unexpectedly, Yang Changshi pulled out the sword that Mr. Yuan Tan was hanging on his waist!
"Chang" The sword was unsheathed, and the matter was completely shattered. The whole house was in chaos. The solemn guards on both sides also took action, either rushing to protect the Grand Duke Yuan San, or rushing to surround the Grand Duke Yang Changshi. Fortunately, our Yang Changshi did not mean to hurt the Grand Duke Yuan San, but just put the sword on Mr. Yuan Tan's neck, yelling with red eyes, "Don't come over, I'll kill him when I come over!"
"Stop!" The Grand Duke of Yuan San finally spoke, first stopped the guard who was eager to try, and then shouted angrily: "Yang Hong, what are you going to do?"
"Donald Benchu, please forgive the rudeness of the foreign ministers. The things hidden in this belt are more important than the heads of the nine tribes of the foreign ministers, so the foreign ministers can only do this." Yang Changshi replied loudly.
"What exactly is it?" Grand Duke Yuan San asked in a furious question.
Yang Changshi stopped talking, but turned to Mr. Yuan Shang, who had already hidden behind Shen Pei and Feng Ji, and said righteously: "Three Masters, the foreign minister has done his best. After the foreign minister dies, I would like to ask the third master to send the foreign minister's body back to Xuzhou for the sake of the foreign minister's efforts to do your best, so that the foreign minister Ye Luo will return to his roots and not be a lonely soul in a foreign land."
Mr. Yuan Shang's face looked even more ugly. He was trembling and didn't even know what to say. The third master of Yuan over there angrily cursed at Mr. Yuan Shang, "Beast, you did a good thing!"
After scolding his son, the Grand Duke Yuan San turned to Yang Changshi and said proudly: "Yang Hong, do you know what the consequences of doing this? Don't say that you are a mere chief, even your lord Tao Ying can't afford it!"
"Donald Benchu, this matter is too big. Now that the matter has come to this point, even if the foreign ministers cannot afford it, they must bear it!"
Yang Changshi didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but he actually contradicted the wise and holy lord whom he had been looking forward to in public. Then Yang Changshi turned to Mr. Yuan Tan who was being held by his sword and asked: "Big Young Master, the foreign minister only asked you one thing. If you answer truthfully, the foreign minister will let you go immediately, and put down his sword and bow his head to ask for death."
"If you want to kill, kill, don't say more!"
In front of my father, Mr. Yuan Tan certainly refused to show weakness. The Grand Duke Yuan San shouted, "You ask, I'll let Xiansi answer."
"Thank you, Mr. Benchu." Yang Changshi nodded a little, then turned to Mr. Yuan Tan and asked, "Master, who told you the secret in this belt? Who else can you know this secret? This is all about the truth. Please answer truthfully."
"How do you ask this question?"
Mr. Yuan Tan was stunned. However, before Mr. Yuan Tan came to his senses, our Changshi Yang woke up and immediately turned around and glared at his new rival, Jizhou, Tian Feng, and shouted: "I understand! Good old man Tian Feng! I didn't expect that you are so vicious. In order to revenge on my shameless request, I deliberately told Mr. Yuan Tan about this secret. I wanted to kill countless loyal and kind people and also trap me Yang Hong in a place of unfaithfulness and unrighteousness. You are so cruel!"
The situation suddenly changed drastically. Yang Changshi suddenly turned the finger from Mr. Yuan Tan to Tian Feng. Not to mention that the Grand Duke Yuan San and others who were present were all speechless, the person involved, Tian Feng was even more shocked. After finally waking up, Tian Feng was furious and rushed out and roared: "Shameless man, don't swear here. What does this matter have to do with me?"
"There were no outsiders at that time, so of course you can deny it now!" Yang Changshi's voice was louder than Tian Feng, and he shouted wildly: "Only you, an old man, knows that there is a huge secret hidden in my belt! Just because I rejected your shameless request, I refused to give you three hundred kilograms of gold and silver and five thousand pieces of colorful satin! I refused to recommend your nephew to my lord and let them serve as a senior official in Xuzhou, so you deliberately leaked this secret to the eldest son, wanting to use the eldest son to kill me!!"
Chapter completed!
