Chapter 24 Night Banquet

The officers and soldiers left. They obviously left in a somewhat comfortable mood.

Perhaps they thought in their hearts that there would inevitably be a fierce fight when they came here to catch the culprit. But the actual situation was far beyond their expectations, and they also got an extremely cheap credit.

Mo Yunxiao was already in tears. If she had any grudge against Bao Cheng before, at this moment all the grudges had melted away, leaving behind only unspeakable resentment and sorrow.

"Brother Baocheng...Brother Baocheng..." she kept calling, running all the way from the hillside. No matter how steep the hillside was, or how much soft sand would pour out with the force of this step.

In short, she just ran down like this, and the clothes on her body were already covered with mud and dead grass.

"Brother Baocheng! Brother Baocheng..." Mo Yunxiao ran over and gently held his head, calling his name with a choked voice. But at this time, the blood dripping from the corner of Baocheng's mouth had condensed into scabs, and his face turned pale.

From red to green, a large black patch appeared on his forehead.

Mo Yunxiao knew that this was a sign of blood stagnation after death. No matter how much he shouted, Baocheng would never respond.

Just when Mo Yunxiao was sad and helpless, she heard a horse neighing. She was startled slightly, and she heard it was Yun Cong's cry.

When she raised her head and looked around, she heard another person say: "What a horse! What a horse! It seems that this is Liu Dadao's Yuncong horse. I think Qiu Yuhou has finished his work."

"Why is this horse here? Didn't Qiu Yuhou take it away with him?" another person said.

Mo Yunxiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her vision became clearer. Following the voice of the voice, she saw two red lights, which seemed to be two red lanterns swaying in the dark night.

As the visitors gradually approached, their appearance became clearer. They were two thin men in their thirties. They were wearing brocade robes and had beards. They seemed to come from wealthy families.

They were also greatly surprised when they saw Mo Yunxiao. One of them asked sharply: "Who are you? This...who are you holding?"

Mo Yunxiao looked at them and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"How presumptuous!" Another person came up and said, "Where did you come from, a cunning woman who is so ignorant of etiquette? I asked you, and you went back. How can you ask me?"

Mo Yunxiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She gently put Baocheng down, stood up, and said, "I don't like to reply to your words. I prefer to ask you to reply first!"

The two looked at each other and both shouted: "That's unreasonable!" One of them hurried forward and said, "Let me see if I won't hit you!"

But before he could finish his words, Mo Yunxiao's outstretched hand had already twisted the knee joint, causing him to cry out "Ouch, ouch" in pain.

The other person was even more furious and ran over to kick Mo Yunxiao. But how could she allow him to lift his foot? She had already taken one step ahead of him and kicked him hard in the belly. He also said "Ouch!"

He screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The two of them were a little panicked when they saw that the woman had revealed this skill. The one whose arms were twisted by her asked in a trembling voice: "You...are you the 'Female Yama'?"

Mo Yunxiao replied coldly: "It's your aunt!"

"Ah?" The two looked at each other again and begged for mercy. The one crawling on the ground even kowtowed a few times and said, "It's strange that my brothers are blind and can't see the dignity of the eldest girl of the Mo family."

Rong. It should be beaten! It should be beaten! But we...we are a flood...the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple! How can one family fight another family!"

Another person said: "Yes, yes, we are two helpers outside the Chu family. Although we don't see the girl on weekdays, her reputation is very popular. My brothers also know about your relationship with our outsiders.

.If we knew it was a girl and you were here, we wouldn’t dare to be bold even if you gave me a hundred courages.”

After listening to their words, Mo Yunxiao rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "Could it be that Mr. Chu and this Mo Yunxiao seem to be very close? But the day before yesterday, I didn't hear Huan'er tell me that she had paid three times the price to get Mr. Chu from Mr. Wai.

Did you save Huan'er? Logically speaking, the two of them should have a grudge. What's the fishy thing here?"

She couldn't think clearly for a while, so she asked, "What are you doing here?"

The one who knelt on the ground replied: "My brothers are here to see if there are any valuable things left in the house after Liu Tuantou is arrested..." He seemed to feel that it was not very honorable, so he lowered his head.

Say it again.

After hearing this, Mo Yunxiao was even more shocked. It seemed that Yuan Chu had a lot to do with the sudden arrival of the officers and soldiers.

"Hmph!" Mo Yunxiao pushed the man he was holding away heavily and said, "So you are here to take advantage of the situation? But you are unlucky. Now that you have met me, you will not be able to make a fortune, but you will be lucky."

After all, there are still some. Now take me to see your members."

The two looked at each other, as if they were unwilling to do so. So one of them said with a smile: "Yes, since you, Miss Mo, like the things in this village, you can choose them. They are just for my two brothers."

Just leave some money."

Mo Yunxiao glared angrily and shouted: "Bah! He's just a beggar, how can he have any treasures? Take me to see your officers quickly. If there is another half-word of nonsense, be careful with your tongue!"

The man was so frustrated that he lowered his head and said, "It's late at night, and he has already fallen asleep."

"That's not easy. Just wake him up and say it's Mo Yunxiao who comes to see him. Won't he give me this face?" Mo Yunxiao said.

"Don't you dare." The two of them kowtowed together, stood up and said, "The younger one will just lead the way for the girl."

The Chu Yuan's house is not far away, only fifteen miles away from here. Although they live outside the city, their family's wealth is comparable to that of the Minglou Mo family and the Fanlou Song family. They have a thousand acres of land, hundreds of farmers, and compradors.

There are also hundreds of people.

His mansion is even more magnificent. The door is made of red painted red wood, with six horizontal and six vertical door nails that are very eye-catching, and the high courtyard wall cannot cover the Yuyu Qiong Tower inside the wall.

His family has a star-gazing building, a five-story building rising from the ground, with cornices and brackets on the roof, and carved beams and painted beams. This building is far away from the Changfeng Tower in the city. Standing on the top of it, you can overlook Jinming Lake, which is the center of Tokyo.

The bustling market is even more visible.

At this moment, the aroma of meat is wafting in the star-gazing tower, the sound of pipa music is gathering together, strings are being played, green music is being played, and guests are gathering, making it an even more lively scene.

A chubby middle-aged man was sitting in the seat of the previous host. He stroked his mustache quite proudly and turned to look at the guest on the right. This guest was none other than Kill Baocheng.

Qiu Yuhou. Sitting opposite Qiu Yuhou was a thin man. This man was also smiling and enjoying the music sung by the singer.

Each of the three of them had an exquisite small stove. However, this stove was not for heating, but for barbecue. There was an iron net on the stove, and on the net were meat skewered with iron skewers.

When the meat is grilled, the oil and water overflow, bubbling in layers, and making a "sizzling" sound.

"Thanks to Mr. Chu's respect, we, a bitch, have become elegant." Qiu Yuhou smiled and spoke to the chubby man. This man must be Yuanwai Chu.

Chu Yuanwai smiled proudly and said: "Not long after Qiu Yuhou was transferred to Tokyo, he arrested a group of fugitives who had been wandering around for many years. Brother, I am the owner of this place. It must not be bad to invite Yuhou to come and get together here."

Just behave."

Qiu Feng sighed heavily and said: "I'm very ashamed. The leader of this group of escapees is Liu Dadao. This man has extraordinary martial arts and once served as a military attache under the old Xianggong of the Western Army. I'm going this time

The one we arrested was Liu Dadao. Alas, it was a pity that he ran away."

"The so-called cunning rabbit has three burrows. Qiu Yuhou need not be angry." It was the thin man sitting opposite him who spoke. He gently turned the iron skewer for barbecue and continued: "'A big knife will kill a tiger and a leopard, and a big knife will kill the Jade Emperor'. Tokyo City

All the beggars, big and small, will chant this sentence."

"Oh?" Chu Yuanwai was slightly surprised. He looked at the thin man with wide eyes and said, "Brother Zhang, it seems that Liu Dadao has the will to rebel. It makes sense to kill the tiger and leopard, but

To kill the Jade Emperor is an offence."

Qiu Feng said: "To tell you the truth, I also served in the Western Army. The soldiers seem to have quite a lot of complaints against the imperial court. This Liu Dadao speaks arrogant words, but he is able to attract many people. You should not underestimate him if you think about it."

"Hmph!" Zhang sneered and said rather proudly: "Although I am not talented and am just a cheap businessman, my brother still has a place in the court. It is not easy to get rid of a few rioters."

Both Chu Yuanwai and Qiu Feng were stunned, but they could only laugh in apology.

It turned out that the person named Zhang was Zhang Chun, the younger brother of Zhang Dun, one of the current prime ministers. Zhang Chun, unlike Zhang Dun, had never been interested in taking the imperial examination and was only interested in doing business. He took advantage of his father and brother's reputation in the court to build up an empire.

This is so glorious and prosperous that it can be called Changfeng Tower together with Ming Tower, Fan Tower and Yu Tower.

"Hahaha, there is Xianggong Zhang above the temple, and there is shopkeeper Zhang far away in the world, what are we afraid of?" Mr. Chu laughed after saying this. Feeling proud, he unfolded his sleeves and took out a small

Silver bottle.

He raised the silver vase and asked with a smile: "You two are well-informed, guess what is in this vase?"

Zhang Chun complained with a smile: "Mr. Chu, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly."

Yuan Chu burst out laughing again and said: "It must be the first time for you two to meet each other. Anyway, I will tell you the truth. This is a rare thing. It is a spice brought by Persian merchants from the Western Regions, named fennel. This is

The taste is neither bitter nor spicy, neither salty nor sour, and its flavor is lingering, especially when sprinkled on barbecued meats. The high temperature helps the flavor evaporate, and it makes you feel refreshed when you smell it and taste it."

As he spoke, he asked his entourage to take the small silver bottles and sprinkle them on Zhang Chun and Qiu Feng's meat one by one. Sure enough, the flames were blazing, and the roasting meat made the meat even more fragrant.

Qiu Feng couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked off the meat from the iron skewer, pierced it with a knife and chewed it in his mouth.

"Yu Hou, how does it taste?" Chu Yuanwai asked.

Qiu Feng chewed the meat, sometimes frowning and sometimes opening his eyes, as if there were thousands of unspeakable flavors in his mouth. After a long time, he swallowed a mouthful of meat with difficulty and said, "Mr. Chu, this fennel is indeed

It is the most unique flavor in the world and is very tempting."

Member Chu was even more proud of being praised by him. He laughed for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Chun and asked, "What do you think, Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Chun also smiled and said: "What Yuanwai said is true. The taste of this fennel is indeed unique. Even a famous gourmet like Su Dongpo may not be able to taste such delicious food."

"Hahaha..." Mr. Chu laughed and said, "To be honest, this fennel is not easy to come by. I only have such a small amount, but I won't use it unless I am a distinguished guest. Hahaha..."

Zhang Chun rolled his eyes and asked: "Mr. Chu has a lot of connections. I wonder if I can get more fennel. I will buy it at a high price and I will not be stingy with money."

After hearing this, Member Chu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "This... I'm afraid it's not easy. I also spent a lot of effort to achieve this."

Zhang Chun said with a smile: "I have been suppressed by Fan Tower all the time in Changfeng Tower. If I can get this fennel, I can stand out in this city of Tokyo. By then, your benefits will naturally be indispensable."

"I don't know what Brother Zhang means, but this..." Mr. Chu was in a dilemma. Before he could finish his words, a young boy in green clothes came up the stairs with a thump thump thump. The boy bowed to everyone.

He saluted, and then said to Yuan Chu: "Master, Miss Mo is here."

"Oh? Mo Yunxiao?" Yuan Chu was surprised, but because of this, he didn't have to deal with Zhang Chun for the time being, and he felt relieved.

"Exactly." The boy replied. Qiu Feng only knew how to eat meat, but Zhang Chun frowned slightly, thinking to himself: "I'm afraid the person who came here is not good."

Yuan Chu also turned his attention to Zhang Chun and said, "I know that Brother Zhang and Miss Mo have a quarrel, so why don't we let her go."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Yunxiao's voice came up: "The lights upstairs are bright, why do we need to issue an eviction order again?"

Zhang Chun shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "The dispute between us is nothing more than a business matter. Today we are only talking about personal friendship, not business. Let her come up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yunxiao strode upstairs. The singers suddenly saw this famous "Female Yama" and panicked for a moment, and the music and singing suddenly stopped.

Mo Yunxiao stood at the top of the stairs and looked around, sneered and said: "The blood is cold among the weeds, but the wine is still warm in the Star Observation Tower. Okay, very good, what a group of jackals!"
