Volume Four, Volume 32, Chapter 23, Washing Hands in the Golden Pot
Not long after Zhang Tie sat down, Jiang Mansion's servants started serving dishes to each banquet table like water.
Generally speaking, on such occasions, after the food is served, Mr. Jiang washes his hands in the golden basin on the stage, says a few words, and then takes a seat at the head table at the main table, where they drink and drink. Today's golden basin hand-washing ceremony is successfully concluded.
.
Among the group of people sitting around at the table, as soon as the food on the table was ready, Zhang Tie started to use his chopsticks and ate the oil and water soup with great joy.
"Eat, it will get cold if you wait any longer. It's just right now, it's hot!" Zhang Tie said to the people at the same table with the stewed venison stuffed in his mouth. As he spoke, the pair of chopsticks were still lying around on the table.
Sweep down.
Among the more than two hundred banquet tables, Zhang Tie was the first person to use chopsticks.
The other people stared at Zhang Tie, wondering whether Zhang Tie was really stupid or just didn't understand the rules. At this time, Mr. Jiang was the first to use chopsticks when he came down. How could any of the guests below be the first to use chopsticks?
The people below are eating, and Mr. Jiang is washing his hands in the golden basin above? Do you really think that Mr. Jiang's golden basin washing ceremony is like a troupe singing on the stage? And you are watching it while eating?
Two servants from the Jiang Mansion who were standing not far away from Zhang Tie were about to come over. For some reason, Zhang Tie glanced at the two servants, and they just stood there motionless.
Seeing such a scene, those people at the table next to them who wanted to show off and stood up to teach Zhang Tie a lesson stopped talking. No one in the Jiang Mansion moved. He was really going to cause trouble by being so dominant here.
Maybe the people in Jiang Mansion thought that they were playing a double act to spoil the old man's good deeds, and that's why. Zhang Tie was eating, and everyone around him just watched. They all swallowed dryly, their throats moving.
Especially those people sitting at the same table as Chang Tie. Seeing Zhang Tie's pair of chopsticks flying up and down and turning the dishes on the table into ruins, they all looked at Zhang Tie angrily and cursed Zhang Tie in their hearts.
A bastard with tens of thousands of voices.
Jiang Mansion's cooking today is really good. In addition to the chefs in Jiang Mansion, chefs from several famous restaurants in Youzhou City are also helping in Jiang Mansion's kitchen today. The dishes they cook are naturally delicious and delicious.
Delicious food.
Zhang Tie was really hungry. From the time he left home last night to this moment, he had not finished eating for nearly a day. He first ran for three thousand kilometers, and then made plans and dispatched troops in Tingwei Temple. At this time
When the food was served, how could he wait for Mr. Jiang to finish the golden basin hand-washing ceremony before eating, because he knew that today's golden basin hand-washing ceremony would never be completed.
Everything on his side has been arranged, and he could start work an hour ago, but Zhang Tie feels that waiting until Jiang Mansion is the busiest to do it together will have the best effect.
Why choose this time? Because this is the time when there are the most people, the most attention, and the greatest influence. If Mr. Jiang is taken away silently, how can the story of Youzhou Tingwei Zhang Mu God destroying the Tongtian Sect be publicized?
The slap on Tuntang's face was not loud enough. Most of the guests today are their own best witnesses.
Zhang Tie feels that he is becoming more and more insidious, but it doesn't matter if he is not insidious, because there are too many insidious people in this world.
If you think about it seriously, Zhang Tie is actually a little scared. If after the Tun Party impeached him, the Youzhou Tongtian Sect suddenly jumped out again and caused a big mess, then the impeachment memorial would be confirmed.
Not only will he be unlucky, but Huaiyuantang and the governor who speaks for him may also be blamed and implicated.
The timing of the Tongtian Sect's uprising in Youzhou matched perfectly with Tuntang's memorial to impeach him. If it weren't for the lack of evidence, Zhang Tie would have almost thought that Tundang and the Tongtian Sect had negotiated. However, this kind of thing could only be done
I can turn it around in my mind but cannot say it out loud, accusing Tuntang of colluding with the Tongtian Sect. Even the Third Duke of Taixia would not dare to say such a crime easily, because it will easily cause chaos in Taixia.
But everything has two sides. The Tongtian Sect can be used as a dagger stabbed by Tuntang at himself, and it can also be used as a sharp arrow shot by Tundang. Tundang's memorial to impeach him can be a prescient word.
The words of concern for the country and the people, expressed with blood and tears, are also the result of deliberate and sinister frame-up.
What determines the nature of the memorial is not the memorial itself, but the outcome of the contest between Youzhou itself and the Tongtian Sect.
Changes in Youzhou, hundreds of thousands of miles away, can actually affect the wind and nerves of Xuanyuan Hill, disturbing the world's public opinion and people's hearts. This is politics! This is what Zhang Tie did no matter what when he first came to Taixia a few months ago.
Unexpectedly, Taixia is a bigger circle of right and wrong. Now that I have plunged into it, many things are beyond my control.
…
Zhang Tie indulged his appetite here and munched. On the high platform over there, old friends and disciples of Mr. Jiang were already on the stage. They talked about and praised Mr. Jiang's achievements over the years. It was a necessary prelude and prelude before the golden basin washing ceremony.
Foreshadowing, later on, even the official from Tongzhou General Supervisor came on stage to speak, representing Tongzhou General Supervisor, and fully affirmed Mr. Jiang's past and achievements in the General Supervisor in the past few years.
I wonder if Mr. Jiang's identity as the leader of the Tongtian Sect is revealed later, whether these speakers will be eager to swallow their words, Zhang Tie thought mischievously.
The knight's appetite was already amazing, but Zhang Tie was so fast that he was like a whirlwind. At the back, when Mr. Jiang personally climbed onto the high platform of the Golden Basin to wash hands under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Tie had almost eaten.
The food on the table was already in a mess, but he had eaten two-thirds of it by himself.
"Uh", Zhang Tie burped, rubbed his belly with satisfaction, and looked at the people at the same table who were glaring at him, "Eat, it will be cold if you don't eat it, and it will be wasted later!"
Damn it! Those people who were looking at Zhang Tie had their brows twitching, wanting to jump up and slam the plate on the table onto Zhang Tie's head. This bastard, how many days had he endured without eating? He was definitely sneaking in to cheat.
Eat and drink...
…
On the high platform, a kind-hearted Mr. Jiang bowed around and then straightened his back.
"Thank you all friends for your love. Jiang was born in poverty and has worked hard for more than a hundred years. I am satisfied to be where he is today. After washing his hands in the golden basin today, Jiang can be free, put down his craftsman hammer, and only focus on the mountains and rivers.
. Before washing hands in the golden basin, according to the rules, Jiang will ask again, is there anyone who has unresolved grievances with Jiang? If there is any unresolved grudge, please friends to be a witness for me, let’s settle it now, and wait for Jiang’s golden basin.
After I wash my hands, I don’t want to mention the past anymore!”
This is just a formality of the golden basin hand-washing ceremony. Whoever is going to hold the golden basin hand-washing ceremony will come here to settle the unresolved grievances. Naturally, such a ceremony will be performed after everything is settled.
Of course, this still needs to be asked.
Seeing that the people below were silent, Mr. Jiang was very satisfied. With a smile on his face, he was about to approach the golden basin filled with clear water. Just when he was about to put his hand into the golden roc, a sudden and loud voice came out.
It sounded loudly among the crowd below, with a somewhat lazy atmosphere.
"Mr. Jiang, please wash your hands slowly. There is a grudge that has not yet been settled!"
Upon hearing this voice, Mr. Jiang frowned, raised his eyes, and looked among the guests. There was also a buzz among the guests below. Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Among the scattered seats at the edge, a guy slowly stood up and touched his belly.
The person who stood up was naturally Zhang Tie.
Seeing Zhang Tie stand up calmly, the people at the same table who were glaring at him just now opened their mouths wider than duck eggs. Looking at Zhang Tie, they felt like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
This...this...this guy...actually...actually...is here to cause trouble? How dare someone come to Mr. Jiang's golden basin hand-washing ceremony to find trouble?
Feeling the gazes of Mr. Jiang and the more than two hundred people at the table, the people sitting with Zhang Tie had red-hot iron plates sitting under their butts. They began to twist around the table one by one. At this time, they
Sitting next to Zhang Tie, it would be unjust if Mr. Jiang mistakenly thought that they were in a group. But if they left immediately, with hundreds of people watching, it would look like they were as timid as mice.
With so much attention being paid to them, the guys next to them couldn't walk or sit still, and their faces were as suffocated as coal.
At this time, naturally no one moved their chopsticks anymore.
"This friend is a bit unfamiliar. I'm sorry for Jiang's blindness, but Jiang remembers that he has never seen him before. I wonder what grudges you have with Jiang?"
After all, he had experienced big scenes. After a slight silence for two seconds, Mr. Jiang spoke, his voice was neutral, not impatient or impatient, and he had the demeanor of an elder. However, his appearance made the guests sitting here feel uncomfortable.
Many of them secretly applauded.
At this time, no one else could say anything, so the thousands of guests listened with their eyes wide open and their ears straightened.
"It is true that Mr. Jiang and I have never had any grievances in our lives, but I am entrusted by others, and I can only disrupt the situation once today!" Zhang Tie sighed.
"I wonder who this friend is entrusted by?" Mr. Jiang asked with a smile on his face.
"The people entrusted to me are just the 2.7 billion ordinary people in Youzhou. Since Mr. Jiang wants the lives of these ordinary people, then I have no choice but to come and take your life!"
As soon as Zhang Tie said this, it was like a gust of cold wind blowing through the entire Jiang Mansion. The temperature in the entire Jiang Mansion, even if hundreds of braziers were lit at this moment, seemed to suddenly drop below zero.
Just as Zhang Tie finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and a more than 300-meter-long courtyard wall outside the banquet venue collapsed instantly...
The elite subordinates of Youzhou Tingwei Temple, like a black tide, directly destroyed the dry and decayed, breaking through the wall... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
