Chapter 23: Drunkard (2)(1/2)
"Brother Xiao, that abominable wine thief is locked up in the woodshed. My father is furious and wants to throw him into prison and execute him. Come out quickly after you take a look at him. There is really nothing to see in this class of thieves."
Le Wei got the news of the accident at the wine shop last night and was so angry that he didn't sleep all night. He waited for dawn to throw the wine thief to see the officials, and then he was jailed and executed!
It was Leshan who brought Xiao Jiu here for this trip.
The two walked through the corridor and walked to the woodshed at the end.
The wine shop was in a mess, with spilled wine and broken wine jars everywhere. The seals of many unripened fruit wines were broken, and all the good jars of wine were ruined!
Whoever saw this couldn't help feeling sad for a while, and cursed the wine thief for being shameless.
"arrive."
The two of them walked to a broken door, and Leshan said to the servant guarding the door, "Open the door."
"yes."
After a sound, the door opened.
Suddenly a black shadow burst out of the door.
"Be careful!" Several people were caught off guard, but Xiao Jiu reacted very quickly. He pulled Leshan over and kicked the black figure into the door.
"Ouch! It hurts me so much!"
A gray-faced man wearing a tattered shirt was rolling on the ground with his belly in his arms and wailing.
Leshan came to his senses at this time, was startled, and quickly ordered his subordinates to take action.
"Hurry up and tie him up!"
I almost made the thief run away!
He turned to look at Xiao Jiu who was standing in front of him, and was slightly shocked. He didn't expect Xiao Xiao to have such skills?!
Looking at the boy who was only as high as his chest, Leshan was silent.
The servant next to him hurried forward and tied the man to the pillar again with hemp rope, and tied him with an extra layer to prevent the thief from breaking free again.
"Eh?! Eh! You dare to arrest me? I am a guest of Duke Chu! Be bold! Be bold!"
The man was noisy, and when everything fell silent, the tied up wine thief and Xiao Jiu were the only two people left in the woodshed.
Leshan was called out by Xiao Jiu.
The man was unshaven and slovenly, with long hair blocking his face like a chicken coop, and his dark eyes glared at Xiao Jiu angrily.
After seeing the other two people going out, there was even more ferocity in his tone, "Hey, boy! Let me go, otherwise when Mr. Chu comes, hehe..."
Seeing how weak Xiao Jiu was, the man completely forgot that it was Xiao Jiu who blocked his way to escape just now.
The threat is self-evident.
"How about waiting for him to come?"
Xiao Jiu asked with a calm smile, not only without fear, but also with a bit of interest, which made the man startled.
"I am a guest of Duke Chu, and I am highly valued. If you dare to disrespect me today, be careful I will kill your whole family!"
Listening to his threat, Xiao Jiu not only didn't get angry, but slowly approached him and said leisurely: "You ruined my hundreds of good drinks, and you dare to brazenly say you want to kill me?"
He walked forward.
A cold light fell, and Xiao Jiu squatted down.
The two of them were facing each other, and a dagger with a cold light was pierced into a pillar less than a centimeter away from the man's throat.
"A disciple of Duke Chu?" Xiao Jiu murmured, then laughed, "What a great prestige. How about I send you to be a disciple of the King of Hell?"
The deepening smile was like a sword being drawn out of its sheath, showing its murderous intent.
His still immature face showed maturity and coldness far beyond his age. He stared closely at the man's every move, his eyes filled with coldness and intimidating intensity.
The man's throat swallowed unconsciously, and a drop of cold sweat overflowed from his forehead, "You...you, my child, do you know who Mr. Chu is?"
No matter who he is, he can't block my way of making money or ruin my good deeds, not even the King of Heaven can do it!
Looking at the man in front of him who looked more like a beggar than a tramp, Xiao Jiu said, "Who he is has nothing to do with me. You keep claiming to be his disciple, but how can you accept everything from someone who claims to be a duke?"
"The fact that you were kicked down and arrested by me means that you are not good at martial arts. You can't even beat one of my children. If you don't have calluses in your hands, you don't know how to write."
"You are quite capable of untying yourself. You must often save yourself, right?" Xiao Jiu laughed, "A retainer is not good at literature or martial arts, but he is very familiar with sneaking around. What kind of retainer do you think he is?"
Xiao Jiu pulled out the dagger and looked at him condescendingly, with no smile on his face.
He looks as if he has never taken a bath since he was born. As soon as he gets close, he can still smell the stink of his body. What kind of customer is so careless?
"You have done too many bad things. Wherever you go, you can get away with it in the past, but this time..." Xiao Jiu casually dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes and said slowly.
"You try to escape. If you escape, if someone from my former government office finds you, I will make you know what life is worse than death."
Xiao Jiu turned around and showed a nasty smile. The man was startled and felt as if a jackal was showing its cold fangs to him.
It’s over! This time we hit an iron plate!
"Young Master, please spare your life! I made an unintentional mistake!"
It was an unintentional mistake to ruin a whole yard of wine?!
Xiao Jiu was too lazy to think any more and said, "People from the government office will be here soon, just wait."
"Wait a minute! Xiao Langjun!"
Seeing that Xiao Jiu was about to leave, the man said anxiously, "Xiao Jiu is really a guest of Mr. Chu. How much does the drink cost? All the losses will be put on Xiao Jiu, and I will pay you a lot of money!"
"What do you want to compensate for?"
Xiao Jiu lazily raised his eyelids and ignored him at all.
"I, I, I know how to taste wine. I am a close friend of Duke Chu! How much wine have you spoiled? I will help you make it again!"
"The fruit wines you have are not valuable at all. They are all made from ordinary mountain fruits. I will know the secret after one taste!"
Stopping, Xiao Jiu stood in front of the door and thought for two seconds, then turned around and said, "Oh? Do you know the production process?"
"I know! I know!"
The man cried bitterly, reported the wine-making recipe and production process without stopping at all, and looked at Xiao Jiu with a hopeful face.
This time, Xiao Jiu had some thoughts.
The main reason is that the damage has already been done. Judging from the appearance of this man, there is no money to compensate, and I don’t know how much loss can be recovered from him?
With the mentality of giving it a try, he walked back leisurely.
"You just said you were a guest of Mr. Chu?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
The man nodded quickly.
Xiao Jiu squatted down opposite him, with a slight thought on her handsome and cute face, "What's your name?"
"Gong Shupan."
"What a pity for such a good surname." Xiao Jiu said.
Gong Shupan:......
With a smile on his face, he said, "Dare you ask me your honorific title?"
I don't dare to take the honorable title.
Xiao Jiu looked at him with half-squinted eyes, "Xiao Jiu. With your head down, you will be king for a long time."
"What a great name!" Gong Shupan said in admiration, "The young man has an extraordinary background and will definitely be rich and powerful in the future!"
Xiao Jiu listened to his nonsense and didn't say anything.
"Your surname is not common either. I seem to have heard of the surname Gongshu somewhere."
Actually it doesn't.
Then Xiao Jiu saw Gong Shu's face change in seconds. From surprise to disappointment in just a moment, he lamented: "I didn't expect that the young man would be so knowledgeable and well-informed! To be honest, I am
The descendants of the Gongshu family of Wei State, their ancestors were ministers under the throne of the previous generation Wei Jun, and the person Yizhu Yicheng talks about is my great-grandfather."
What Yizhu Yicheng?
Xiao Jiu vaguely remembered that one time Senior Brother Xiaoliu told him a story.
It tells the story of a man who exchanged a city for a rare luminous pearl in the world, and the king of that country praised him very much.
Could it be that he was talking about Gongshu so-and-so?
And that idiot king refers to the ancestor king of Weiguo?
Xiao Jiu was suspiciously silent.
"..."
The country of Wei has not been destroyed until now, which is really a great achievement for our family!
"Xiao Xiaolangjun? Xiao Xiaolangjun?"
