Chapter 536 Deliberately picking things up? I'm not used to you!
Chapter 536 Deliberately stirring up trouble? I won’t tolerate you!
Wancheng.
Hongbin Tower.
Top floor, private room.
More than a dozen burly men in strange clothes were devouring the royal delicacies at the moment. They had such a great meal, and the food table was filled with empty plates and it was a mess.
The man sitting upright in the middle is none other than King Xianbei Budugen.
At this moment, Bu Dugen was carrying a huge roasted leg of lamb in one hand and an exquisite sterling silver wine pot in the other. He took a sip of the leg of lamb and a sip of fine wine. Not to mention how refreshing the taste was:
"The Han people are really powerful. When it comes to eating mutton, we Xianbei people are the best at eating it and know how to eat it. It can be said that we cannot live without mutton, but look at the mutton made by the Han people, it is really delicious.
"
"Especially this roasted leg of lamb. The skin is crispy on the outside, but the meat is plump on the inside. Sprinkled with such a pinch of seasoning, it tastes really addictive. After one bite, you want to take another bite."
“And that mutton soup”
"Tsk tsk!"
Budugen smacked his lips, looking like he was enjoying himself to the fullest: "I can't feel the smell of mutton at all. I took a sip of the mutton soup and felt warm all over. No wonder this thing has become a must-have for Han people's breakfast. It's so delicious."
Enjoyed it.”
Fu Luohan on the side nodded in agreement: "Yes, the Han people are very good at enjoying themselves. Look at the cashmere clothes they wear in winter. They are really warm and very beautiful."
"Some nobles often hold hand stoves in their hands and wear cashmere earmuffs. They don't feel cold at all when walking on the road. When we go back, we should bring more of these things. I'm sure the tribesmen will like them."
"leader!"
At this moment, the next burly man named Ashina spoke: "I heard that there is a ski resort outside Wancheng where people can slide on the ice. It is very interesting."
"Let's go there early tomorrow morning and have a look. I'm really curious about how this person can skate freely on the ice. Wouldn't everyone fall down?"
"good."
Bu Dugen nodded without hesitation and agreed: "You have been wronged today. I promise you this request. We will rush to the ski resort outside the city early tomorrow morning to have a good look at the novelty."
"It just so happens that we have just exchanged a large amount of money from the gold market, which is enough for us to live happily in Wancheng for a while. If you have any requests, just ask them, otherwise it will not be so easy to think about it after we go back.
."
There was no shortage of gold, silver, copper and iron in Xianbei, but the gold and silver in their hands was not legal currency in the Han Dynasty, so it needed to be exchanged for money in the gold market before it could be consumed in the Han Dynasty.
Although the price of gold in Han Dynasty is relatively not very high now, for the Xianbei people, they don't feel distressed at all. After all, in their eyes, cattle and sheep are hard currency, and gold and silver are just broken stones. Even if they are carved
It is exquisite and can only be used for decoration, but in the Han Dynasty, it can be used as money and it can make a lot of money.
"Does the leader really mean what he said?"
Ashina's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course it's true."
Bu Dugen nodded without hesitation: "As long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely not refuse. Just feel free to make your request. This time when we come to Nanyang, we will be open to play."
Helping Luo Han on the side quickly admonished in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not good to do this. If Nanyang Hanting is angered, we may not be able to eat and walk around in circles."
"Don't forget what happened at the city gate today. Now we have become the laughing stock of others. Even Ke Bineng is laughing at us."
"snort."
Bu Dugen snorted softly: "Don't you think it's time for us to regain our face? I really don't believe it anymore. His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang dares to attack us?"
"I heard that Zhang Liao has returned to Wancheng, Nanyang, and is now resting in the Royal Post House. Without Zhang Liao in the border defense, what should you and I fear if only Xu Huang is there?"
Fu Luohan breathed out and said rudely: "You are playing with fire."
Bu Dugen looked disdainfully: "Wuhuan, Xianbei, Qianghu, and even Shanyue, Wulingman, and Di people are all gathered here. If His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor dares to touch us, he will definitely offend the public."
"At this juncture, I think His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang will definitely find a way to reduce big things to small things. If he turns small things into small things, he will never make any noise."
"If we don't do something extraordinary, how can we test His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor's attitude? I don't believe that such a little kid can still turn the world upside down."
"Can"
Fu Luohan still wanted to dissuade him, but was directly interrupted by Bu Dugen: "If Xianbei continues a civil war, it will only allow the big men to take advantage. It is better to take advantage of the moment to arouse the anger of the heroes and eat this giant dragon."
Of."
"Only in this way can we end the civil war as soon as possible, make Xianbei stronger again, and restore Tanshihuai's true strength. By then, all Xianbei tribes will naturally follow the orders of you and my brother."
Fu Luohan took a deep breath and finally said: "However, I always feel that things will not be simpler than imagined. Although the current emperor is young, he is definitely much tougher than the previous Han emperor."
"The most important thing is!"
Speaking of this, Fu Luohan emphasized again: "The imperial court's troops are currently stationed near Yanmen Pass, and there are also troops stationed in Youzhou and Liangzhou. They can launch an attack on our troops at any time."
"Let me ask: Is it possible for the previous Han court to be implemented?"
Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen were so good that they had experienced fierce battles. Naturally, they knew the difference: "Your idea is very good, but the big man today is no longer the big man before. Remember not to act rashly."
Bu Dugen paused for a moment and asked: "But look at Xianbei now. It's in chaos. If we don't take this opportunity to transfer the conflict to the Han Dynasty, we can only kill each other until we die."
"This guy Kebineng knelt down to the Han envoy. His purpose is obviously to use the help of the Han to destroy you and me. We will be in trouble sooner or later, so why not act earlier?"
"You believe me!"
Bu Dugen said confidently: "Actually, there are many people, all like us, who came to test the Han Dynasty in Nanyang, especially the Qiang and Hu people, the Di people, and even the Nanman from Yizhou."
"Among this group of people, I'm afraid only some Wuling barbarians and Shanyue are sincerely supporting the Han because they have received tangible benefits."
How could Fulohan not know these things clearly?
He took a long breath, finally waved his hand, and said softly: "You decide for yourself. As you said, if we sit back and wait for death, we might as well give it a try, maybe there will be a chance of survival."
Bu Dugen grinned: "So, you agree?"
Fu Luohan nodded: "Agreed."
"good."
Bu Dugen was overjoyed and turned to Ashina again: "Boy, are you thinking about a Han girl?"
Ashina laughed loudly: "The girl who served the dish before was so pretty. I, Ashina, have never tasted what a Han girl is like."
"certainly."
Ashina quickly added: "It doesn't have to be that girl, go find a spring house outside the city, we can also listen to some songs, and then be happy again, right?"
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
Just then, there was a knock on the door:
"Eight-treasure porridge is here—!"
With a loud shout, more than a dozen pretty girls came in from the outside. They were tall and holding trays, and what was placed on them was eight-treasure porridge.
At this moment, Ashina's eyes were staring at the woman who was floating like a fairy, coming from the front. The corners of her lips could not help but drip with tears. Her eyes were staring straight at her, wishing that she could not pretend to be her.
In the eyeballs.
but
After all, Ashina still didn't dare to be presumptuous. He tried to glance at his leader and saw him nodding towards him. Then he waved his sleeves, wiped the smudge from the corners of his lips, and then leaned forward to see the pair of cattail fans.
His big hand reached towards the girl.
"what you do?"
The girl who served the dish hurriedly withdrew the catkins and retreated timidly. Her eyes were full of fear, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale, she was trembling, and she was at a loss.
In an instant, the eyes of all the serving girls were focused on Ashina, and they saw Ashina grinning with an arrogant look:
"Ha ha."
Ashina became more and more daring. He pounced forward and easily grabbed the woman's slender arm. He then pulled back and the unsteady woman jumped straight into Ashina's arms:
"Sleep with me, and I'll give you as much as you want. How about it? It's a good deal, isn't it much better than being a servant here?"
The woman couldn't understand Ashina's words, so she kept struggling desperately, shouting for help at the top of her voice, and kept hitting Ashina's body with her little fists:
"Help!"
"Let me go!"
"Help, let me go!"
"."
The girl who served the food was so frightened that her face turned green, and they all fled from here.
It wasn't that they were not generous enough, but they hurriedly reported the matter to the shopkeeper, hoping that he would come forward to resolve this matter.
Not long after, a group of men dressed as servants rushed in with wooden sticks, kitchen knives and other objects. At this moment, the girl's clothes were torn by Ashina. Although she did not succeed, the situation was extremely bad.
"You bastard, let go of Sister Hua."
"They are envoys from the imperial court. Go and report to the official."
"knew."
"."
Ashina turned back and glanced at the overconfident servants. Her interest suddenly disappeared and she became furious. Dangjiang lifted the girl above her head and slammed her towards them:
"Disappointment!"
"What a disappointment!"
"You all must die!"
Ashina, who had experienced many battles, rushed forward with a single step, reached out to grab the wooden stick, grabbed the kitchen knife with his backhand, chopped left and right, and kept attacking, defeating the gang in three strikes, five cuts, and two cuts.
In fact, many people were beaten with blood, and some had their arms broken. What's more, some people were already lying on the ground, unable to move, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
On the other hand, Bu Dugen and others had no intention of stopping them. They all held wine glasses and watched with smiles on their faces, as if it was just a show, without any humanity at all.
Ashina looked at the messy scene and exhaled: "I'm so disappointed. Let's go. Let's go back. I heard that the curfew will be in a while and I won't be able to go back."
"All right."
Bu Dugen stood up slowly and said softly: "Let's go back first and talk about it tomorrow."
Ashina hurriedly moved out of the way, letting Dugen go first: "First of all, please go ahead."
Everyone left the hall in a grand manner and headed straight to the Royal Post House.
But
They had just rushed back to the inn when a soldier stopped at the door, raising his head and asking, "Are you Ashina?"
The manager of the posthouse on the side raised his hand and pointed at Ashina: "Yes, this is the person who beat us. Please ask the government to make the decision for us. They killed four people and injured twelve others."
Ashina's eyes widened, and he glanced at the officers and soldiers, and then passed the Royal Post House. When he saw more than ten heads sticking out of the windows, all of them were distinguished guests watching the excitement, he felt confident in his heart:
"That's right, I am Ashina. What can you do to me? I am an honored guest invited by His Majesty the Emperor. You can try to touch me, believe it or not."
"Take them all away for me!"
Before Ashina could finish speaking, Man Chong raised his hand and shouted sternly: "All the people involved in the case will be taken away without leaving a single one. I will personally interrogate them."
The officers and soldiers bowed and raised their hands, saying loudly: "Here."
Ashina looked at something bad, and was shocked. He raised his hand and punched the officers and soldiers who came forward, smashing them into pieces. Then he followed up with another swinging fist with his backhand, and once again avoided the officers and soldiers who came forward.
.
Man Chong was furious. Under his management, this kind of thing had never happened in Wancheng. The anger in his heart suddenly burned, and he immediately yelled:
"How dare you arrest the thief!"
"Someone is coming!"
Man Chong waved his hand: "Get it for me!"
Ashina's eyes widened, he took advantage of the situation, jumped back, distanced himself from the officers and soldiers, and shouted sternly: "You bastard, who dares to touch me?"
It's a pity that his words were in Xianbei dialect, and these officers and soldiers couldn't understand him at all. They just felt that the other party was ready to fight with the government. This was simply unreasonable.
"superior!"
Seven or eight officers and soldiers rushed towards Ashina.
Although they are just ordinary thieves, they are all very skilled, and some of them are warriors who have retired from the army. They are no less impressive in terms of momentum.
Although Ashina is a tiger general, without the blessing of war horses, his combat effectiveness is directly reduced by 50%. Facing the tacit attack of the officers and soldiers, after seven or eight rounds, Ashina is already stunned and can only parry when he is killed.
, completely unable to fight back.
Even Ashina himself couldn't help but be stunned. After all, the opponent was just a pawn in the government. In his impression, such a team could only be described as a mob.
But by accident.
It was such a mob that could suppress him in all directions at this moment.
You know, he is a general under Bu Dugen, and he is also a leading figure in the army. Even without the blessing of a war horse, he shouldn't be humiliated by such a rabble, right?
"Chop suey!"
Ashina swore directly, gave a feint punch, avoided the officers and soldiers on the left, took a step forward, and pounced directly on the officers and soldiers in front.
But he never imagined that this was exactly the purpose of the cooperation between officers and soldiers, to anger the opponent and expose their weaknesses, thus giving them a chance to hit them with a single blow.
only saw
Before Ashina's long fist could reach the officers and soldiers, a sap whizzed out from the side and aimed at Ashina's chest. He rushed forward with a loud bang and knocked Ashina away.
After flying a few feet away, he fell hard to the ground.
Just when Man Chong was about to order an arrest, he heard a loud voice: "Everyone, come and see, Nanyang Hanting is bullying others. It is unreasonable to attack our guests and me in the street."
"Nanyang Hanting is using its power to bully others!"
"Nanyang Hanting bullies others with its power!"
"Today it is my Budugen, tomorrow it will be you!"
"The emperor invited us to be guests, not for them to bully at will."
"."
Facing the sudden scene, the officers and soldiers who were about to take action were immediately stunned. It was obvious that the other party wanted to arouse the public opinion of the barbarians from all sides and forcibly suppress them.
They all looked up at the Royal Post House, and the windows were opened one after another. The barbarians from all sides looked down from a high altitude, pointing at their behavior, and talking about it:
"Isn't it outrageous? Just because you are Han, you are bullying us like this?"
"What does Nanyang Hanting mean? Is he planning to attack us?"
"Bu Dugen? Isn't this person from Xianbei? He's the same as Ke Bineng."
"Is the imperial court going to take action against Bu Dugen?"
"."
If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will have to retreat at this moment.
but
Man Chong is a person who has received His Majesty's express decree. He must not tolerate illegal and disorderly elements outside the law. Regardless of whether he is a Han or a Yi or a Di, he must be treated equally.
That being the case, there is nothing to be afraid of if you are so favored!
He glanced at Bu Dugen, who was secretly rejoicing, and Ashina, who was lying on the ground, pretending, and immediately took a step forward and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Everyone!"
This roar.
It was as if spring thunder jumped out of his mouth, and thunderbolts shook on the tip of his tongue, which suddenly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience: "I am Manchong, the magistrate of Wancheng. Xianbei Ashina killed four people and seriously injured more than ten people in Hongbin Tower. It is suspected of intentional
Those charged with murder and other crimes must be arrested and interrogated in accordance with the law."
"Because this matter involves the Xianbei royal family, it is far beyond the scope of our Wancheng Order to review it alone. Tomorrow morning, I will hand it over to the Tingwei, and a public trial will be held to set the record straight."
"Your Majesty once said: The emperor who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people! No matter where you are, as long as you are in the territory of our Han Dynasty, you must abide by the laws of our Han Dynasty."
"tomorrow!"
Having said this, Manchong turned his head and glanced at Bu Dugen, and said in a loud voice: "If you all suspect that my great man is using his power to bully others, you can all come to hear the trial. If there is any injustice, you can all respond to your majesty."
"you"
Bu Dugen was furious, and when he was about to scold him, he was directly interrupted by Man Chong: "Come, please escort me back. I will hand you over to the Tingwei early tomorrow morning for a public trial."
After receiving this clear order, all the officers and soldiers straightened their backs and shouted loudly: "Here."
Immediately.
Seventeen or eight officers and soldiers rushed forward, captured Ashina, Bu Dugen and others, and rushed towards the county government office.
The people all around shouted:
"Yes, no matter who you are, you must obey the law."
"Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, this is the law of heaven!"
"What about the Xianbei people? In the territory of our Han Dynasty, we still have to abide by the laws of our Han Dynasty."
"This case will be tried by the cruel officials in person. I, Wang Erniu, am convinced."
"If it is true that Xianbei killed someone for no reason, he will deserve a life for a life."
"."
*****
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
A lamp is like a bean.
At this moment, Liu Bian was at his desk handling some government affairs.
"Report—!"
Suddenly, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Liu Bian frowned, put his pen aside, and looked up.
But see
Zhu Tong pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, a piece of information has just been sent back."
Liu Bian was surprised. Information is usually handled by the school affairs office. If it was delivered directly by Zhu Tong, I'm afraid the matter wouldn't be too far away. It was an internal matter within Wancheng.
"What happened in the city?"
Liu Bian followed his train of thought and asked.
"kindness."
Zhu Tong nodded and said softly: "Ashina, the general under Bu Dugen, molested the girl serving food in Hongbin Tower. As a result, he accidentally killed four people and seriously injured more than ten people."
"The Man County Magistrate personally went to the Royal Post House to arrest the person, but Bu Dugen used provocative words to deliberately arouse the hostility of the barbarians from all over the world towards the Han. If the Man County Magistrate had not promised to publicly try Ashina tomorrow, the matter would have intensified."
"It is said."
At this point, Zhu Tong sighed: "The school affairs office has already intervened in this matter and has begun to arrange for censorship and pawns to correct the direction of public opinion so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. However, it remains to be seen how effective it will be."
The corners of Liu Bian's lips curved up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "I didn't expect that Fengxiao's movements were quite fast. It's good to use Budugen to establish his authority, so it won't involve too much."
"Your Majesty, you."
Zhu Tong took a deep breath, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Is your reaction a bit too much?"
Liu Bian smiled: "Too casual?"
Zhu Tong looked slightly embarrassed and nodded slowly: "Well, it is indeed a bit. If this matter cannot be controlled, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. If all the barbarians and Di from all directions turn against the Han, our previous efforts will be in vain."
"Do not worry."
Liu Bian was obviously more confident than Zhu Tong: "I have considered this happening from the very beginning, so every envoy is carefully selected."
"Their communication with the Yi Di from all sides, judging from the information fed back so far, is good. Only Xianbei Budugen, who Li Quan is responsible for, had a slight accident."
"Now, Guo Jia has taken action again and is gradually controlling the direction of public opinion. Do I have anything to worry about? Evil will never prevail over good. You have to believe this."
Even so, Zhu Tong was still a little worried: "But, what if?"
Liu Bian waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Don't worry, there is no such thing as an emergency here. Tomorrow morning, we will try whatever we want. As long as Bu Dugen didn't do it himself, he will leave room for it."
If it comes to killing Bu Dugen, Liu Bian may still consider it. After all, he is one of the leaders of the central Xianbei. But if it is just Ashina, Liu Bian will not consider it at all.
It is clear.
Ashina is just a chess piece. If Bu Dugen is endangered by this matter, Bu Dugen will not hesitate to abandon Ashina. With his little tricks, he cannot escape Liu Bian's grasp.
Zhu Tong frowned: "It seems that Bu Dugen has never shown any mercy. That's it."
Liu Bian smiled faintly: "What's going on? Aren't you still worried?"
