Chapter 43: Secret Talk at the Su Family
Tang Jiusheng folded his arms and looked calmly at Huzhou Prefecture Governor Su Changlin and the military commander Yu Buchang. Behind him, Yin Sheng, Fatty, Gao Chongyang, Sun Jiangdong, Ximo, Zhao Lingzun and others stood in a row. Several people had just arrived.
, he easily knocked down more than a dozen soldiers with one move. Looking at the beaten soldiers running away with their heads in their hands, Su Changlin, who was frightened and angry, shouted: "You are so bold and unruly, do you want to rebel?"
Gao Chongyang took two steps forward, raised his middle finger to Su Changlin, pouted, and said with contempt, "Who do you think you are, a little Huzhou magistrate? Rebellion? Huzhou is your back garden? Or are you the emperor's son?
Sun? Let me tell you, here are all the children of aristocratic families, and there are three of them alone. If even one of these people makes a mistake, you will not be able to survive!"
Su Yuqing bit the bullet and cursed, "You are just a bunch of losers relying on your father!"
Ximen Yushuang couldn't help but spat, "Then you are worse than trash. Others will not dare to rob a good girl in the street just because their father has some power!"
Su Yuqing was speechless and couldn't answer, but Su Xiaoliu beside Su Yuqing tilted her mouth and said, "Fart, what kind of good girl are you? You are obviously an oiran who escaped from Guangyue Tower. Your name is, yes, your name is Yu
Xiang, my young master even went to you for prostitution a few days ago!"
The school captain Yu Buchang who was riding on the horse and all the soldiers under him laughed strangely. Ximen Yushuang was trembling with anger at Su Xiaoliu. Just as she was about to scold back, Tang Jiu Sheng had already arrived in front of Su Xiaoliu like lightning. Except for Zhao Lingzun, Fatty and a few other people,
Among the few people, no one saw clearly how he arrived in front of Su Xiaoliu.
Before Su Xiaoliu could react, Tang Jiusheng, who had already arrived in front of him like lightning, punched him six or seven feet away with his big mouth. He fell to the ground and lost about ten teeth. He lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. Tang Jiusheng said disdainfully: "
A slave who works as a dog for others dares to insult my woman?" Su Yuqing was shocked when he saw this, turned around and hid behind Qiu Yingxiang, he hid his secret, thinking that you don't know how to hit women, right?
Ximen Yushuang said happily, "My husband fought well!"
Su Changlin's lips trembled in anger, and just when he was about to speak, Tang Jiusheng swayed and had already lifted him off the horse and threw him to the ground. Before the captain Yu Buchang could lift the knife in his hand, Tang Jiusheng took action again and lifted Yu Buchang off the horse.
He came down and threw him and Su Changlin together. Yu Buchang dropped his saber from his hand and struggled for a long time with stars in his eyes.
Su Yuqing was horrified. Before his tongue could be retracted, Tang Jiusheng took it out from behind Qiu Yingchun. He was thrown to the ground and fell on his back with his father. The soldiers started to make noises, but they did not dare.
Come forward.
Tang Jiusheng took a step forward, stepped on Su Yuqing's chest, and gave him a cold smile: "You beast, I gave you opportunities time and time again, but it's a pity that you persist in your stubbornness." He turned back and pointed at Ximen Yushuang and asked Su Yuqing, "Do you know?
Do you know who she is?" Su Yuqing shook her head in fear, saying that she didn't know.
Tang Jiusheng slapped Su Yuqing in the face and lifted her up from the ground, "Grandson, let me tell you, her name is Ximen Yushuang. She almost became the concubine of the King of Lingnan more than a month ago. Now the whole world knows that I took her from Lingnan."
The king snatched her from his hands and made her his wife. You can only rely on your father for everything, you are a loser who is not even as good as Yin Chun, you are like a dog, and you want to steal my woman?"
When Su Yuqing heard that the other party had snatched the King of Lingnan's woman, Su Yuqing's face suddenly turned pale, "Mr. Tang, I really didn't know she was Ximen Yushuang. I really beg you to let me go this time. From now on, I will change my ways and never do it again."
Dare you."
Tang Jiusheng threw Su Yuqing to the ground and said with a look of disdain: "Killing someone like you is like stepping on an ant to death. I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty! Originally, I was born in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
I don’t take the idea of having a hereditary title very seriously. I don’t want this kind of wealth that I only got from my father, so I went to take the exam. But today I saw your useless character and really wanted to beat you to death.
Dad and your mother!"
Su Changlin, who had been thrown to the ground, was already thinking about a way out. Suddenly, he heard Tang Jiusheng threatening to kill Su Yuqing's father and mother. Qiu Yingchun and Su Changlin looked at each other in shock. With the skills of this young man in white, he became a general among thousands of armies.
The first level is as simple as searching a bag to retrieve the object, and it can be said to be even easier to kill them both.
Tang Jiusheng stared at Su Yuqing, "Do you know why I want to beat your father and mother to death?" Su Yuqing stood in front of Tang Jiusheng at a loss, shook her head in fear, and did not dare to speak.
Tang Jiusheng sneered: "You were so arrogant and domineering in Huzhou today. You failed to snatch a woman in the street but got beaten up by her. How ridiculous and useless are you? Not only do your parents not know how to discipline your incompetent son, but they lead you
You are asking people to support you, a prodigal son. How ridiculous you can be, how stupid your parents are! If you offend any prince with a heavy army today, I think you will have to have your entire family executed.
!”
Su Changlin was ashamed, and slowly got up from the ground. He picked up the gauze hat that fell on the ground and put it on his head. Qiu Yingchun came over to help him pat the dust on his official uniform. Su Changlin had already thought about it while lying on the ground.
Well, since the ancients could bear the humiliation of the crotch, so can I, the county governor of Huzhou. Su Changlin bowed to Tang Jiu Sheng, "Tang Juren, I and my wife are so incompetent in raising their children that I am making you laugh!"
Qiu Yingchun forced a smile and said, "Master Tang, if you don't mind, can you condescend to come to our Su family to talk to us?"
Tang Jiusheng smiled, "Let's go, I was just going to go to your house to chat with you." Tang Jiusheng turned around, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work, let's go to the county governor's house." Everyone agreed and got on the horse together.
, the school captain Yu Buchang also got up from the ground. Su Changlin got on the horse, Qiu Yingchun got on the carriage, and headed to the county governor's house together, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Tang Jiusheng was riding on a horse and walking on Tongzheng Street, the largest street in Huzhou Prefecture. He glanced at a little beggar in ragged clothes and dusty face on the street. The little beggar looked at the people walking away and laughed and said, "
Now the Su family is kicked to the iron plate, hahaha"
The Su Mansion with Jiangnan garden style is really impressive. The courtyard is deep, elegant and simple, with mountains of stacked rocks. There are exquisite pavilions and pavilions next to the small artificial lake. It is surrounded by fragrant flowers, green grass, potted plants, pine trees, and strange stones of the South Lake. It has both.
The bamboos cover the area, the vines drip with greenery, and the winding paths are winding. What a beautiful scene!
In the living room of the Su family, there was a sumptuous banquet. Yin Sheng, who was sitting side by side with Tang Jiusheng, smiled at Su Changlin who kept toasting with a humble look on his face, "County Su is really enjoying himself. This small private residence of the Huzhou Sheriff is probably
It can’t be worse than the mansion of your father-in-law, Duke Qiu Jie of Lu, right?”
Su Changlin's eyelids jumped. Based on his many years of experience in the palace, this young man named Yin has an extraordinary bearing. When mentioning his father-in-law Qiu Jie, Duke of Lu, he also had an indifferent expression on his face. He might be related to the current emperor's family.
I'm afraid he is also a child of an aristocratic family who cannot be offended. After thinking about it, he said: "Young Master Yin is joking. Our Su family is still a little worse than the Duke of Lu."
Su Changlin, Qiu Yingchun and his wife, plus Tang Jiusheng, Fatty, Yin Sheng, Gao Chongyang, Sun Jiangdong, Ximen Yushuang, Shui Ruyue, plus the Huzhou captain Yu Buchang, a total of ten people sat at the same table. Su Yuqing could only be reduced to
Pour wine for everyone, now he no longer dared to think anything wrong about Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang.
Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "Today I originally wanted to kill Sheriff Su and Mr. Ling, but then I changed my mind temporarily." Sheriff Su Changlin's chopsticks shaking the vegetables involuntarily, and the dishes fell into the bowl. Su Changlin reluctantly
He smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Tang for showing mercy!"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "You don't have to thank me. It was you who saved yourself. As a county governor, you can get up from the ground and endure the humiliation and bow and apologize in public instead of choosing to fight me to the death. This is what a person who is doing big things should have."
Basic psychological quality, this is one of the reasons why I don't kill you. But you are really incompetent in raising your son. If Mr. Su and I were to change places, my father would beat me to death."
Su Changlin blushed, glared at Su Yuqing fiercely, and said: "It's true that I have no way to teach my son. I will definitely discipline my dog strictly from now on, so that nothing like this will happen again."
Tang Jiu Sheng took a bite of the cold dish, put it in his mouth and ate it, and then said slowly: "I hold the gold medal bestowed by the emperor on my hand. I can kill officials below the third rank first and then report them. The trouble Mr. Su has caused you today is really serious."
It's relatively small. You should feel lucky that Sheriff Su's head is still on your neck now. You may not be so lucky next time."
Looking at Su Changlin who was silent while holding the wine glass, Tang Jiusheng said: "There are no outsiders now. There is no need to hide some things. Let's get straight to the point. If King Pingxi one day rebels, Huzhou will be a battleground for military strategists.
What are you, Sheriff Su, going to do? Should you side with the imperial court or King Pingxi? To put it bluntly, for local officials, it is a bet now. When it comes to taking sides, if you take the wrong side, you will die without a burial place in the future."
Su Changlin probed: "What does Mr. Tang think I should do?"
Tang Jiu
The student sneered and said, "You are a dignified official in Huzhou. Why would you ask me about such a small matter that affects your life and fortune?"
Su Changlin pondered for a moment and then said: "I personally think that the imperial court and King Ping Xi will not be able to decide the outcome in a short time. With the current conditions, Huzhou Prefecture may not be able to hold it in the end and fall into the hands of King Ping Xi. But in the end,
The situation of the war is not something that I can arbitrarily say."
Tang Jiusheng glanced at Su Yuqing, "I didn't want to be an official before. I thought it would be too tiring like my father. It would be more comfortable for me to be indifferent to worldly affairs. Since I started to experience in the world two years ago, especially when I encountered
After becoming an unscrupulous dandy like you, my desire to be an official is getting weaker and weaker. Some people have to take care of some things. Being an official is better for the people than being an official like you who dares to steal women on the street.
.”
Su Yuqing was ashamed and didn't know how to answer.
Tang Jiusheng patted Su Yuqing on the shoulder, "Fortunately you are not an official. People like you are not good at writing or martial arts, and you can't even defeat a woman. What use do you have now? Can you lead troops to fight? Can you govern?
One side? An official is like a parent to a common people. How can he go out on the street to rob other people's wives and daughters for his own selfish desires? Is that any different from bandits in the mountains? "
"What common people don't hope that their parents' officials will be as blue as the sky, as clear as water and as bright as a mirror? And which one hopes that the officials will be corrupt and prey on the people at will? As a child of a noble family, you should know best that many noble families have been defeated by the second and third generations.
In their hands, just because they don't know how to cherish their blessings, they rely on the shadow of their ancestors to do whatever they want, and eventually die and their family is destroyed. Isn't it sad to be born rich but short-sighted?"
Tang Jiusheng turned to Su Changlin and said: "Master Su, as the official of Huzhou, you should think more about the people here. This is also a land of plenty, and there will definitely be a war. No matter whether you can defend it or not,
Even if you really can't hold it, it's because of the war and it's not your fault. But if you surrender without fighting, I will come and take your head."
Su Yuqing's face didn't look very good, but he didn't refute. Tang Jiusheng turned his head and glanced at Yu Buchang again, "Captain Yu, you still need to practice your martial arts, and your soldiers need to practice even more, otherwise if a war breaks out,
, with your current skills, you can beat ordinary people, but I think it will be really difficult to fight. Of course, if there is a day of fighting, I will send people to support you. "
Yu Buchang was speechless. Qiu Yingchun suddenly asked: "Master Tang, is your Tang family betting on the imperial court?"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Our Tang family is not betting on money, but we will fight for the people. Otherwise, what is the meaning of the existence of the national teacher? This time Su Yuqing openly robbed a good family girl in the street, our Tang family can not pursue it, but I hope you can
If you are guilty and have meritorious service, otherwise we, the Tang Family's Imperial Master, will report this matter to Your Majesty, and you all know what the consequences will be."
Su Changlin and Yu Buchang looked at each other and nodded silently.
Tang Jiusheng added: "I'm not threatening you, but there are some things I want to explain. Don't think that everything will be over after I leave here. I will always keep people watching this place in Huzhou. If something goes wrong, I will definitely
Both crimes are punishable. You have seen my strength today. If I really want to kill people, I don’t need any gold medals or imperial edicts."
Qiu Yingchun smiled sadly, "Aren't you threatening us?"
Tang Jiusheng chuckled and said: "Of course I hope Mr. Su and Lieutenant Yu can do more good things for the people instead of letting their nephews use their power to bully others. Today, the two adults even led troops to protect the calf. Do you think it is embarrassing or not? I am today
First of all, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Huzhou Prefecture. If you are loyal and friendly to me, then I will be honest and friendly to me. Of course, if everyone keeps their own secrets, then I will be sorry."
Su Changlin smiled and said, "You can slap me in the face and give me a sweet date. Mr. Tang has some tricks."
Tang Jiusheng smiled calmly, "I'm a very straightforward person. This is not some trick. I've told you everything I want to do! Otherwise, everyone won't tell you directly and go around in circles guessing each other. Do you think it's interesting? I
Half Jianghu and half officialdom, it's not the same as you. After all, you have obvious goals and have a big business. I'm a bachelor."
