He seemed to sense Liu Ruyi's hostility, and suddenly burst into laughter, showing two rows of white teeth, "Brother, I don't mean any harm! Why would you refuse someone thousands of miles away?"
After that, he stood up, picked up a glass of water and wine, walked up to Liu Ruyi, gestured to Liu Ruyi, and said a little bohemianly: "A man, a great man, lives an upright life, and lives a free and easy life! If everyone
If you have such a sad face as my brother, wouldn’t your life be boring and boring? Haha!"
Liu Ruyi also laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, "I am so envious of my brother's conduct as a human being! However, I am worried about my future, so I am concentrating here and thinking about it, which makes me laugh.
!”
"Oh?" The man glanced at Liu Ruyi with a deep look. Then, he pointed to the high platform in the hall with a smile, and blinked slightly, "Brother, are you here because of that beauty?"
Unknowingly, his name for Liu Ruyi also changed.
"Haha!" Liu Ruyi was slightly startled, but she was a little funny in her heart. Maybe this person also regarded herself as an admirer of the 'Chun Yu Slave'!
"Is it true that my brother is too?" Liu Ruyi did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
The man burst out laughing again, bending down from the laughter. After a moment, he took a breath and said, "Don't you hear the sage said: 'Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman is a good man.
?'Although I am not a scholar, I have been famous for this 'Spring Master' for a long time, so I came here today to see it!"
Women are always the best lubricant between men. At this time, before the banquet started, Liu Ruyi started chatting with him in the corner of the inner hall.
However, as the chat gradually deepened, Liu Ruyi discovered that this person was not as vulgar as he appeared, but he was hiding deeper!
After more than a dozen glasses of water and wine, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other. At this time, Liu Ruyi picked up the wine glass again, gave him a light salute, and said with a smile: "This eldest brother, my younger brother Zhangqiu Liu Ruyi,
Haven't you asked me your surname?"
The man glanced at Liu Ruyi playfully, picked up the wine glass, touched Liu Ruyi casually, and drank it in one gulp, "So-and-so's name? Haha! I'm afraid if so-and-so says it, brother, you don't dare to be with so-and-so.
It’s time to drink!”
"Oh?" Liu Ruyi also smiled and drank all the wine in the cup, "Brother, are you the leader of the thieves in Nanshan? Or are you a nobleman from heaven and a relative of the clan?"
"Haha, brother, it's interesting, it's interesting!" He stood up and patted Liu Ruyi's shoulder hard, "Actually, I hate scholars most in my life, and I can't stand their sour and rutish attitude! But, brother, you do
What a surprise! Haha!”
He walked in a little further, got close to Liu Ruyi, and lowered his voice: "This is Liu Hanyi of Licheng, known as the 'Demon King of Licheng'! Brother, do you dare to continue drinking with me?"
After saying that, he looked at Liu Ruyi jokingly, as if waiting for Liu Ruyi to run away.
"Liu Hanyi?" Liu Ruyi read the name softly, and then asked: "Who is Mr. Liu, the head of the Liu family in Licheng, Xiaolian Liu Huaguang?"
"That's my father!" Liu Hanyi said with a smile.
"Ah!" Liu Ruyi quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Liu Hanyi, "I'm sorry for my blindness, but here is a hero, but I can't see Mount Tai! My father often mentioned my eldest brother's name before he was alive. As the saying goes, if
If I can do my job with my eldest brother, my old man can rest in peace! My eldest brother, please accept my respects from me!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she wanted to kneel down in front of Liu Hanyi.
Liu Hanyi quickly supported Liu Ruyi's body, and his face softened a lot, "I just heard from you, brother, that you are from the Liu family of Zhangqiu. Who are you, Zhangqiu guard Liu Hu?"
Liu Ruyi nodded, "It's my father!"
"Ah!" Liu Hanyi also exclaimed, "It turns out that after Uncle Liu Hu, we brothers are really not outsiders! A few days ago, I heard that Uncle Liu passed away unfortunately. I was in the capital and did not come back to express my condolences in time. It was really rude.
Extremely awesome! Since I am here today, I will definitely lead you to my uncle’s grave tomorrow and burn a stick of incense in front of my uncle’s grave!”
"Big brother's kindness, little brother is grateful!" Liu Ruyi bowed deeply again!
…………
In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Ruyi respects Liu Hanyi so much. It is really because this person has a great background!
The Liu family of Licheng has been rooted in Jinan Prefecture for dozens of generations. They can be regarded as the first-class wealthy family in Jinan Prefecture. Even if they are governors or prefects, the first thing they do when they take office is to visit the Liu family!
Since the Hongwu period, generations of the Liu family have been officials. However, during the Wanli period, due to the involvement of concubines in the palace, the Liu family gradually lost power in the court and gradually focused on business! But even so, who will die if the tiger dies?
I don’t have the guts to disturb the Liu family!
Now, the Liu family is mainly engaged in coal, fur, and bank business. It may be a slight exaggeration to say that it is as rich as the country, but the power of the family is as huge as "Three Stars" in the "Bangzi Country", which is absolutely beyond imagination.
!
When Liu Hu was young, he had the kindness and support of Liu Hanyi's father, Liu Huaguang. The two families can be regarded as family friends!
Liu Hanyi was born in the martial arts examination in the early years of Chongzhen. Although he has never been an official, he has a bold personality, loves to fight injustice, punish evil and promote good. He is famous in Jinan Prefecture! But he is also quite lustful and likes to seduce-
The good-natured women also earned the nickname "The Demon King of Licheng", which also expressed the memory of the people of Licheng for the sage "Cheng Yaojin".
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army came to Jinan City. Liu Huaguang, Liu Hanyi and his son dispersed their family wealth and recruited more than 500 brave people from their relatives and hometowns to fight to the death against the Qing army!
But it was hard for two fists to defeat four hands. After two months of holding on, Jinan City was finally captured by the Qing troops!
After the city fell, Liu Huaguang, Liu Hanyi and his son fought to the death and persisted in resisting. They relied on the houses and streets as barriers to start street fighting and captured and killed countless Qing soldiers!
The generals of the Qing army were furious and sent heavy troops to surround the armed group. They were surrounded by mountains of swords and seas of fire, and arrows were like locusts. However, Liu Huaguang, Liu Hanyi and his son still refused to retreat and refused to surrender even to the death!
During the battle, Liu Hua was stabbed three times on his bald head, two on his waist, and carried several arrows on his back! Liu Hanyi was stabbed three times on his head and seven arrows on his body! However, the father and son refused to retreat until the end of their lives, and they continued to fight.
Shouting "Kill the slaves! Kill the slaves!"
Until the last drop of blood is shed!
Afterwards, all 216 members of the Liu family, including men, women, children, old and young, were executed by the Qing army. Their bodies were hung outside the city gate of Jinan without even a trace of incense left!
Let me ask, if such a man is not considered a hero, how many people in the world can be called heroes?
Don’t you see, the Han Dynasty’s army is over, and the weak-headed prisoners are asking for long tassels!
Don’t you see, Ban Ding is far away, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhan Yun!
A man should be in a dangerous position, why should he let a Confucian scholar ruin his life?
The situation is that the country's prestige is like a tired egg, and the feathers and feathers are racing without stopping!
Such a man!
Such a hero!
Even though they had minor flaws, in the face of national justice, they did not hesitate and defended the glory of the Han nation with their lives with passion and passion!
Compared with those royal family princes who are as noble as heaven, rich enough to rival the country, but have nothing to gain, and are slaughtered like fat pigs, what does it matter if Liu Ruyi kowtows to the Liu family and his son a hundred times?
…………
At this time, dozens of people walked out of the corridor on the other side of the hall!
The leader is not tall, but his appearance is extraordinary. His big eyes are like deep pools, exuding a kind of faint magic power that makes people attracted at first sight! He is wearing a luxurious purple robe,
Noble and elegant with a touch of elegance, it is Xiao Mowen, the head of the Xiao family.
Beside him, a big man wearing the uniform of a first-class general was smiling and waving his hands to everyone in the hall. It was Ni Chong, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province!
Xiao Mowen bowed to everyone in the hall and introduced the distinguished guests arriving today one by one. Then, as the music of silk and bamboo pipes sounded, today's banquet officially kicked off.
Countless maids and servants brought fine wines and delicacies to everyone in the hall one by one, and the "Chun Yu Slave" on the high platform also began to play the famous song through the ages - "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night!"
Liu Ruyi was not interested in listening to music and appreciating beauties. Instead, she wanted to lust after Xiao Mowen, the head of the Xiao family. Since I am so handsome, my daughter must not be any worse, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but gently clenched the jade plaque in her hand.
"Brother Xian, it seems that your thoughts are not on 'Master Chun'!" Liu Hanyi smiled and directly raised the wine bottle to Liu Ruyi's table, ignoring the surprised gaze of the pretty maid beside her.
He directly pulled over the soft couch and sat on the same table with Liu Ruyi.
"Brother, aren't you the same? Haha!" Liu Ruyi asked.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
For a moment, Liu Ruyi looked around, lowered her voice, and said to Liu Hanyi: "Brother, what is the background of this Xiao family? How could it be so..."
Liu Hanyi glanced at Xiao Mowen, the head of the Xiao family not far away, snorted coldly, and said with some disdain: "On the surface, they are selling cloth and silk satin, but in private, they are just a group of private salt dealers!"
Liu Ruyi suddenly realized that this was the case!
The salt industry has been the number one profit-making industry since ancient times!
Since the Qin Dynasty, smuggling salt has been a serious crime of decapitation!
But Marx, the old man, has given the world the most detailed explanation in "Das Kapital"!
If a capitalist has 50% profit, he will take desperate risks; if he has 100% profit, he will dare to trample all laws in the world; if he has 300% profit, he will dare to risk the gallows!
The Ming and Qing dynasties were the periods when smuggling of salt was the most rampant!
In order to obtain huge profits, these private salt dealers united with the princes, nobles, and dignitaries of the day to raise the price of salt again and again, plundering the people's wealth, causing public dissatisfaction and skyrocketing prices. However, their strong background and intricate network of relationships, even if
The court and even the emperor didn't have much to do!
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Xiao family has such great energy!
The lingering sound lingered, the beauty was as beautiful as jade, in this bustling and ethereal place, Liu Ruyi actually felt a little happy and reluctant to miss Shu!
'The gentle town is the Tomb of Heroes! The ancients will not deceive me!'
Liu Ruyi bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and the severe pain soon woke him up from his delirium. Liu Hanyi on the side was obviously not thinking about this. He frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.
!
At this time, Uncle Fu suddenly approached Liu Ruyi's ear and whispered: "Young Master, Mr. Jia's fellow has appeared!"
