Chapter 943 Storm at the dock
More than a dozen riders galloped to the pier. The leading knight looked at Dou Dewei and said, "Dabaidou, are you tired of living?"
Dou Dewei's fair face turned red instantly!
He was tall and handsome, but his skin was as fair as that of a woman. When he was a child, he was ridiculed by his playmates and was nicknamed "Big White Bean". Even wealthy ladies of similar age often used it as a joke, making Dou Dewei deeply ashamed. !
Dou Dewei said angrily: "Liu Renjing, don't show off. Do you think Dou is easy to bully?"
The visitor was none other than Liu Renjing, the nephew of Liu Hongji, Duke of Kui, who was worshiped as Wei Qing.
Liu Renjing was not familiar with the Fang family, but he had a close relationship with Li Siwen, Li Ji's son. Now that Li Siwen, Changsun Huan, Cheng Chubi and other close friends of Fang Jun were not in Chang'an, it was Liu Renjing's turn to gather a group of dandies to welcome Fang Jun back to Beijing.
We can't let Brother Fang return to Chang'an in a deserted manner without even making any noise, right?
Liu Renjing sat on the horse and stared at Dou Dewei with disdain: "That's all your Dou family has achieved. When you bully others, it's natural. When others bully you, you are using your power to suppress others. How shameless? Besides, My Liu family is relatively What does it matter to you, the Dou family? In terms of rank and strength, you are all superior, so why are you pretending to be wronged? Bah! What a shame for your ancestors!" >
Dou Dewei was so angry that his face was so bloodshot that he almost exploded!
Liu Renjing is not good at reading, but he loves knives and sticks. Especially this venomous snake is famous in Guanzhong for his ruthless and sharp words!
Dou Dewei never expected that this person would show up, he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't win even if he was scolded. It was really bad luck! And how could it be such a coincidence that when I wanted to get close to Mrs. Wu, I happened to meet Liu Renjing?
But he didn't care much at this time. He had to fight if he couldn't beat him. Otherwise, the news that he was ridiculed and insulted by Liu Renjing but did not dare to fight back tomorrow would spread throughout Chang'an. How could he go out to meet people?
Dou Dewei gritted his teeth and waved his hands fiercely: "Give them all to me, kill or injure them, I will be the master!"
The troops behind him reined in their horses to protect him, and were about to rush towards Liu Renjing.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a delicate female voice came to mind in the carriage, as sweet and touching as the sound of nature.
Dou Dewei's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that even if this girl was ugly, her voice could make people fall in love with her to the very core! That Fang Jun was really lucky. How could he have such a charming and talented person?
In my mind, I imagined pressing this charming body under me, listening to a voice like a flute moaning softly...
At this point in life, what else do you want?
I only heard the female voice in the carriage say in a clear voice: "Thank you very much, Brother Renjing, for your righteousness. I am deeply grateful. However, this is a matter between my Fang family and the Dou family. I don't want Brother Renjing to be involved in it. My husband will be here soon, and everything will be fine." Wait for your husband to deal with it!”
Liu Renjing obeyed and said with a big smile: "Mrs. Wu, why do you have to be so polite? When I meet Erlang, I should treat him with sincerity. How can I just sit back and watch the shameless man entangle Erlang's family and remain indifferent? But since Erlang will arrive later, I Naturally, everyone obeys.”
Dou Dewei's expression changed again.
What's going on? Lady Wu is waiting here, and Liu Renjing is coming. Are they all to welcome Fang Er's return?
A sudden thought occurred in his heart, and he knew something was wrong.
The reason why he approached the beauty abruptly was because he admired Lady Wu's beauty and character, and wanted to try to see if he could impress her with her appearance and temperament. If he really could win the heart of a beautiful woman, and he could live happily in the house for a period of time with the beautiful woman in his arms, Fang Jun's anger would surely have subsided.
After all, she is just a concubine. Is it possible that Fang Jun can cause the Dou family and the Fang family to go into war, causing both sides to lose?
But he never wanted to face Fang Jun directly.
Or rather, I dare not...
Fang Jun's bad temper is known to the world. If he calms down at that time, he will definitely not do anything extraordinary. But now facing the opposite, what would that guy do under impulse?
Thinking about Dou Dewei makes me feel scared.
If he had known that Fang Jun would return to Beijing today, he would not have dared to provoke Madam Wu so unscrupulously!
With fear in his heart, Dou Dewei gave up...
Staring at Liu Renjing with a stern look, Dou Dewei said harshly: "Dou has no intention of being rude to the beautiful woman, so I will avoid it today. But Liu Renjing, please wait for Dou, sooner or later the grievances between us will be settled one by one!"
After saying this, he waved to Bu Bu and left.
This is no longer the time to care about face. When Fang Jun comes back, it won’t be about face. You never know which part of your body will be missing...
Liu Renjing smiled and before he spoke, Wu Meiniang in the carriage said coldly: "Master Dou, why are you leaving in such a hurry? My husband will be arriving shortly. I would like to ask Master Dou to wait a moment before meeting my husband." See, discuss the rights and wrongs. ”
How dare Dou Dewei stay?
"Mrs. Wu is joking. Since Fang Erlang is returning to Beijing today, you and your wife should be reunited and love each other. Wouldn't it be a disgrace for us outsiders to stay aside? Someday, another day, Dou will definitely come to visit Fang Erlang in person and say goodbye today... …”
Ignoring the jeers coming from all around, Dou Dewei turned his horse's head.
Wu Meiniang's voice was clear and cold: "You can't help Mr. Dou. Come on, please keep Mr. Dou!"
"No!"
Several generals stepped forward and sneered: "Mr. Dou, my wife has an order, you should stay here obediently!"
Dou Dewei was furious: "How many people like you dare to stop me?"
The general said proudly: "Young Master Dou must not know whose territory this is?"
In Dou Dewei's surprised eyes, the general raised his arms and shouted: "Ms. Wu wants to keep this person. I blocked the incoming person. Don't let him slip away!"
"No!"
"Mother, I've long seen that this pretty boy is nothing, but you still want to run away after provoking Mrs. Wu?"
"Why are you bullying us because there are so few of us? You really have a pair of dog eyes! Come on, brothers, Lady Wu has an order to keep this person!"
"Mother, wait until Erlang comes back to peel off your skin, you coward!"
……
Huh, lala, almost in the blink of an eye, the handymen, craftsmen, and laborers who had just gathered around the dock to watch the excitement suddenly surrounded them, and they were all noisy and surrounded the three parties confronting each other. The water is blocked.
They didn't get the order just now. Although everyone was angry, they didn't dare to step forward rashly. After all, they could see that the identity of this noble man riding a big horse was not simple, and he couldn't cause trouble for himself for nothing.
Now that Mrs. Wu has given her an order, things are different!
Wu Meiniang has unparalleled prestige among all the servants and workers on the dock! You dare to tease Mrs. Wu and then want to leave calmly?
Beautiful thought!
Erlang will be back soon. According to Erlang's temperament, this pretty boy is probably going to die...
Dou Dewei was so frightened that he finally realized that this was Fangjiawan Wharf, the land of the Fang family!
The dense crowds on the inside and outside made Dou Dewei's scalp numb and trembling, and he realized that he had stung a hornet's nest. I turned around and wanted to ask a few friends for help, but I found that Yu Sheng and others who had been staying aside had already disappeared...
How unfaithful!
Dou Dewei cursed angrily, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Back!"
"Look, look, Erlang is back!"
Dou Dewei's heart sank, and he looked up and saw several warships coming at full speed on the wind and waves in the distance of the river. The merchant ships on the river saw this and took cover. As they got closer and closer, they discovered that countless warships had already filled the entire river, blocking out the sky and approaching the dock.
The people on the shore all let out bursts of earth-shattering cheers!
Everyone here has directly benefited from the dock, not to mention the severe drought in Guanzhong in the past two years. It was the irrigation water conservancy presided over by Fang Jun that kept grain output at normal levels, as well as the construction of drainage ditches in Chang'an City. Fang Jun's influence is reflected everywhere. The noble virtue of "serving the people wholeheartedly".
Especially the story of Fang Erlang's "Buddha's birth in thousands of families" spread from the south of the Yangtze River, which gave Fang Jun an unparalleled reputation among ordinary people in Guanzhong!
Nowadays, Fang Erlang, who has achieved great fame in foreign countries and foreign lands without external help, has returned to Chang'an. How can he not be overjoyed?
Dou Dewei's face was as pale as paper.
He had looked down on Fang Jun before, always thinking that Fang Jun relied on the support of his father and His Majesty and was a "lucky" sycophant who had no real ability at all and was just lucky.
But now, looking at the warships covering the sky and the sun on the river, and listening to the earth-shattering cheers on the pier, he suddenly realized that there was a huge difference between Fang Jun and himself, and they were not at the same level at all. There will be another chapter later!
