Yang Xiaohu and Meng Ge returned to Zhang's Mansion, and after meeting Dakui in the front hall, Yang Xiaohu talked about how he was doing in the martial arts arena, and made himself sound as if he was miraculous, brave and invincible.
When Yang Xiaohu finished speaking, Dakui couldn't help but praise: "Well, Xiaohu's martial arts has improved. I saw the candidate you defeated today. He is indeed a good man. The fact that you can beat him means that you have practiced hard for many days and have not deteriorated."
Not bad, not bad." Dakui paused and said, "Well, I'll ask the kitchen to cook some good dishes tonight, so I can comfort you."
Yang Xiaohu was even more proud when he heard this. Da Kui nodded and said: "Don't be arrogant and complacent. I want to talk to you, Uncle Meng, about something. You can go down first." Although Yang Xiaohu was wondering, why did the martial arts man come here?
, but even after Dakui said this, Yang Xiaohu couldn't ask any more questions and immediately left the hall.
Dakui waited until Yang Xiaohu left the house before asking Meng Ge about Tie Gada. Meng Ge said: "I don't think this person is a bad person. Besides, he went to the competition because of his poor family. What he did was just what the government would do after he won."
The reward of ten taels of silver is just for living expenses. I know that Your Excellency always loves talents, so I recommend this person to Your Excellency."
Dakui nodded and said: "That's it; this person came to the mansion today and asked if he wanted fish? The servant of the concierge said no, so he reported your name. The servant came to report to me and let me know our location.
I agreed to meet him." Dakui paused and said, "I saw the same thing as Brother Meng, and I gave him ten taels of silver as a deposit, and told him to catch fish and send it here."
Meng Ge laughed when he heard this: "Oh, I'm really worried that he won't be able to see you, hahaha. That's good, that's good..."
Dakui changed the subject and said: "Xiaohu is still young and has a naughty temperament. I wanted to think of a way to dampen his spirit. I thought he would lose today because he was physically tired, but I didn't expect him to win! In this way, his arrogance and extravagance
His nature is a great victory, but it is not suitable to go to the next level."
Meng Ge was silent for a moment and said, "I'll ask him to practice at night until he's too tired to get up."
Dakui shook his head and said: "This kid is really tired. Don't ask him to practice anymore. You have to find other ways. Okay, you can go back and we'll talk about this later!" Meng Ge left the front hall with his hands.
Dakui sat alone in the front hall with mixed feelings in his heart.
Something happened to him and he had no time to take care of himself. He thought about how Xu Yuan and Dong Hu died tragically while protecting him. How sad would their family be and how they would live in the future? Thinking of this, Da Kui couldn't help but feel sad.
Da Kui called for Master Feng, and after Master Feng sat down, the maid served tea. Da Kui told everyone what was on his mind, and Master Feng reported back: "Your Excellency, you must worry about the families of Xu Yuan and Dong Hu."
They are all in Yingtian. According to my Ming Dynasty law, anyone who dies in the line of duty will receive a pension. I think General Tang will make appropriate arrangements."
Dakui sighed: "The imperial pension is only a drop in the bucket, what can you do with that little money?" Then Dakui ordered: "Ask Tian Feng to go to the accounting office to collect 600 taels of silver and send it to Yingtian. Be sure to hand it over to Xu Yuan and Dong Hu's family.
.With this money, their lives will be easier."
Master Feng cupped his hands and said, "You have a kind heart, and it is our blessing to be able to follow you."
Dakui waved his hands and said: "Master Feng, please don't say this. We should take care of each other." Dakui then added: "In addition, I want to recruit hundreds of local warriors. I wonder what Master Feng has to say?"
Master Feng pondered and said: "According to the Ming Dynasty law, as a civil servant, you have no right to recruit soldiers. However, setting up a township brave militia in Wu County has a lot of benefits and no harm. On the one hand, it can ensure the safety of one party, and on the other hand, it is also good
The Ming Dynasty has accumulated talents, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Da Kui naturally understood the meaning behind Master Feng's words. Although King Wu of the Ming Dynasty did not proclaim himself emperor, local officials in the southern half of the Yangtze River were strictly prohibited from recruiting soldiers privately. If it were said that Zhu Yuanzhang was as capable of suspicion as any ancient or modern emperor. Nowadays,
The world was divided into the north and the south. The Chinese people looked up to King Wu, and heroes from all walks of life came to vote for him. When the Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River conquered the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, it was a foregone conclusion that King Wu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the support of everyone. Naturally, King Wu wanted to deal with
Jiangnan Foundation took it seriously, but Dakui felt that the establishment of Xiangyong in Wuxian County had nothing to do with the overall situation, and it was just a few hundred people.
When everyone gathered in the front hall, Da Kui did not go back to the back house, but ate with everyone in the front hall. After these days of recovery, Da Kui could walk alone, but this time he had dinner with everyone after recovering from illness.
once.
During the dinner, Da Kui stated his intention, and everyone present naturally responded in unison. Da Kui arranged for Master Feng and Zhou Kai to be responsible for recruiting local heroes, but Tian Feng followed Da Kui's wishes and rushed to Yingtian with the money. The food and wine were served.
, when everyone was sitting around preparing to eat, Yang Xiaohu was missing, and Da Kui couldn't help but ask.
When Dakui asked about it, Meng Ge said: "My servant bought some river crabs and shrimps at the market, cooked some in the kitchen and sent them to Pan Bu. Who knew that Yang Xiaohu wanted to fight with Pan Bu after he found out?
Let’s have dinner together. No, no one is here anymore!”
Dakui shook his head and said: "Hey, we don't care about him anymore, let's start dinner." After saying that, he took the chopsticks and invited everyone to eat together...
At this time, Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu were eating in the room. Although the river crabs were not as good as sea crabs, they were still very delicious. A wooden basin was full of river crabs, and the two of them finished it in less than half an hour. Yang Xiaohu wiped his mouth after finishing the meal.
: "Ah, it's so delicious. It would be great if I could eat crabs every day."
Pan Bu joked: "You are following me to get the advantage." As he said, he poured tea to drink. Yang Xiaohu was also feeling thirsty, so he also poured a cup to drink. The two of them drank tea and chatted, and Yang Xiaohu was naturally
He boasted about his martial arts competition to Pan Bu again, and Pan Bu was stunned for a while.
Yang Xiaohu mentioned that he was thirsty and drank another glass of water. But he always felt that something was wrong and couldn't help asking: "When did you get this tea? Why does it taste weird?"
Pan Xingluo: "It was from last night. I don't drink tea very much, so my servant forgot to change it."
Yang Xiaohu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this: "You will be poisoned if you eat river crabs and drink overnight herbal tea~!"
Pan Bu was scared when he heard it, and asked hurriedly: "What should I do?" As he finished speaking, he felt a cramp in his stomach, but when he saw Yang Xiaohu, he also had a grimace on his face. Pan Bu couldn't help but asked in fear: "What should I do?
I have a stomach ache."
Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu stopped talking, and both stood up and ran out in unison, with a look of panic on their faces. Unfortunately, Pan Bu had an injury on his leg, so he couldn't outrun Yang Xiaohu, and there was only one hole in the toilet.
.I saw Yang Xiaohu running into the hut in three steps and two steps at a time, and then there was a loud crashing sound in the hut.
Pan Bu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why are you so fast?"
In the latrine, Yang Xiaohu was heard crying: "Oh shit, I didn't even have time to take off my pants!"...
