Chapter 484 Chapter 484: Killing Yama with One Hundred Thousand Banners (Part 1) [Please vote]
Xun Zhen was secretly relieved when he heard this.
He could also see that Chu Yao was considered the leader among Shen Tang's subordinates. As long as the other party was willing to come forward to resist this matter, it would basically be a success. As for killing first and telling later, would it offend Mr. Shen? This can be regarded as a small test for Xun Zhen.
In the mind of Lord Shen, is the life and death of the people in the pass more important, or is the five thousand taels of gold more important?
A person who is obsessed with things outside himself and loses his benevolent heart is not a benevolent person, not a wise person, and not the person he is looking for.
Perhaps seeing the light of hope, the atmosphere in the tent changed from the solemn and solemn atmosphere before to become relaxed and joyful. Chu Jie even took out a few jars of wine from his collection. The so-called treasured wine is actually the military supplies sent by the Longwu County Government.
With the exception of a few oddballs, literary scholars and brave warriors all had a good capacity for drinking, and could drink several bottles without getting drunk.
Chu Jie once again expressed his gratitude to Xun Zhen and celebrated his smooth return to the customs. Naturally, the latter could not refuse.
"The conditions in the army are poor, so I can only feel wronged."
Xun Zhen returned the gift: "I don't dare to accept it."
As soon as he drank it, he had some drinking problems.
It’s not that the wine is of poor quality -
On the contrary, this is definitely the best wine Xun Zhen has ever tasted. The reason why I say "there was something wrong with drinking" is purely because the effect of this wine is very similar to the top-quality wine popular in Tianhai, Shangnan and other places. It's just that the taste of the two is completely different.
Compared with the fine wine in front of me, the wine in Tianhai and Shangnan seems too bland and tasteless...
Xun Zhen frowned and blinked back to normal.
After a brief drink, everyone dispersed.
Xun Zhen got on well with Kang Shi, so he arranged for Kang Shi to temporarily stay in his tent. The two hit it off and talked at night by candlelight. Xun Zhen smiled and agreed to this arrangement. After returning to the camp, he seemed to casually ask about the fine wine at the banquet.
Longwu County is barren and Yongguguan is bitterly cold.
How can I buy dozens or even hundreds of jars of wine with this money? This wine is only seen in the homes of dignitaries and famous families.
“Oh, that wine was brewed with a secret recipe handed down from my lord’s ancestors.” Regarding Xun Zhen’s doubts, Kang Shi generously answered, “If I didn’t have this unique skill, where would my lord get the money to run the entire Heyin County?” It looks like it’s time to pick the fruit, and it’s a tragedy.”
It is still a poorer and more dangerous place than Ha Yin.
Xun Zhen said again: "I was lucky enough to get a jar before, but the taste was bland, far less rich and delicious than what we have today. But the secret recipe in Lord Shen's hands was leaked or was imitated?"
< br>Kang Shi: "..."
His expression froze.
Is there any secret recipe handed down from ancestors?
I don’t know about other places, but this is the only one in the northwest.
Xun Zhenzhen had drunk something similar, which was probably——
Kang Shi looked unnatural: "My lord also knows the principle of not revealing wealth. Once this kind of drink is leaked, it will inevitably It will attract countless literati and brave warriors to plunder. Therefore, the fine wine brewed every year is handed over to Xu Jie of the Tianhai Xu Family. Our Lord has never intervened in the subsequent operation. It may be the work of profiteers..."
He cleared up the matter of Shen Tang mixing water and selling wine.
This is not a lie by Kang Shi. At most, he is saying that half of it is left and half of it is left. Spring and Autumn's brushwork is not a complete injustice to Xu Jie. Xu Jie was smuggling and selling it to areas outside Tianhai, and it was indeed adulterated. I don’t know what kind of wine Xun Zhen drank.
Xun Zhen stared: "...It's like this..."
Did he drink a jar of water mixed with wine?
Kang Shi blurted the matter out with a haha, and decisively changed the subject: "Hanzhang also likes fine wine?"
Xun Zhen said: "Of course I do."
Kang Shi: "Then Hanzhang will be blessed in the future."
Xun Zhen waved her hand and said: "Shen Jun's wine is very expensive. One bottle of wine can save many families of common people. We cannot leave the common people suffering in vain just for the sake of temporary appetite. It would be good to make more money. It’s a pity to waste it.”
If Mr. Shen and him look at each other...
Most of the money earned by the former is spent by him.
Well, think about it this way -
What do a few jars of wine mean?
It must be said that Xun Zhen's words were very popular. After in-depth conversation, he found that their views on many things were surprisingly consistent. Kang Shi liked this person more and more, and was determined to keep this person for his lord. What's more - a literary scholar who only needs money to ignore the upper limit can even decide the outcome in one fell swoop at a critical moment!
No amount of yellow and white things can buy this.
Xun Zhen intended to get close to him, and Kang Shi intended to win over him.
The man is affectionate and the man is intentional.
The progress bar reaches the heart-wrenching stage every minute.
The two of them talked about everything. Kang Shi also intended to let Xun Zhen know about his lord and the members of his lord's tent, and he talked eloquently. The first one mentioned was Chu Yao. Only then did Xun Zhen know that the gray-haired young man Chu Yao was actually one of the three heroes of Chu State back then!
When looking for a job, you must not only look at the boss as a person, but also the people under the boss. Are they a bastard or an elite? The quality of colleagues and working atmosphere are very important.
Obviously, Chu Yao is heavy enough!
Kang Shi mentioned Gu Chi, Jiang Sheng and himself again.
The first two are both famous, and Jiang Sheng is an acquaintance of Xun Zhen.
Gu Chi's reputation was greater than that of Jiang Sheng. Xun Zhen naturally heard about it when he traveled all over the country. At first, he was worried that it would be difficult to get along with him. However, after listening to Kang Shi's words about how loyal and capable Gu Chi was, he decided that seeing is believing. Among the three, Kangshi had been in official service for a short time.
But he has Yan Xingning to endorse him.
The mere fact that Kang Shi and Xun Zhen have a common friend is enough to show that their status is extremely close.
After all, birds of a feather flock together.
The last one——
Kang Shi hesitated a little, but said it anyway.
Then——
He watched helplessly as Xun Zhen, who had been sitting elegantly just now, jumped on the spot and asked him with a fierce expression.
“Who are you talking about?”
Kang Shi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this posture: "...I, my cousin, have a good name and a good character..."
Xun Zhen was startled, and her anger subsided a little.
Sitting back, a little confused: "Your cousin?"
"Yes, it's Yuanliang, does Hanzhang recognize him?"
Kang Shi is too familiar Xun Zhen responded.
Exactly the same as the original Jiang Sheng!
Xun Zhen’s brows were furrowed, as if she was remembering some disgusting person or thing, and she said in an uneasy tone: “If this person is Ji Shou’s cousin... then I must have mistaken him. To be honest with Ji Shou said that he had previously met a man with the same name. Scholars with the same surname had a grudge, but no one had been arrested in recent years... When he heard the name of his enemy, he lost his temper and asked Ji Shou to forgive him. "
Kang Shi: "..."
< br>His heart felt cold.
What kind of hatred is there if you can't help but make innuendo?
It's okay not to mention it, but Xun Zhen couldn't suppress her anger when he mentioned it: "This hatred is so big, I only have one son... You don't know how many people there are... Oh, don't mention him, just one son..." This person can't help but get angry, it's not worth it!"
Kang Shi's scalp feels numb.
"Could it be the revenge of killing my son?" There is no solution!
Xun Zhen: "That's not true. My rebellious son is still alive and well. He was just instigated by this person to separate from me..."
As for how he was instigated...
< br>
To what extent have you been renounced and what have you done...
Xun Zhen did not mention it.
But the look in his eyes as if he wanted to kill someone was very serious.
Kang Shi: "..."
At this moment, he especially wanted to catch Qi Shan and beat him up, so that he would make enemies everywhere. He thought he could hide in the first year of junior high school. Get over fifteen? Good guy, the enemies are knocking on the door! What's even more troublesome is that they still need this "enemy" to guard the gate!
Qi Yuanliang, ah no...
Tan Lezheng, look at the evil you have done!
