Su Jin looked at Feng Laohu coldly, waited for his laughter to stop, and said lightly: "I hope you can still laugh."
Feng Laohu said proudly: "I am old and incapable of talent. Among the officials in Yangzhou city, the famous people give me some respect. The envoy has just arrived in Yangzhou on business. There are some things that I don't understand. I won't blame you. It's just
You led the cavalry in a rampage at my private residence. If the old man hadn't arrived in time, almost someone would have been killed. This behavior seems to be ill-considered."
Su Jin laughed and said: "I have been warned, but your men just took it as a child's play. Even if they were hacked to death, they would die in vain. I know that Feng Laohu is well-fed in Yangzhou City, but I am from the capital, and your
Nothing works in front of me. I am here on an errand. Anyone who blocks my way is deliberately going against me. I will be rude to him. I hope Mr. Feng will make it easier for you.
It’s good for me and good for everyone, so I don’t have to fall out with you, smash someone’s sign, or smear someone’s face. That wouldn’t be pretty.”
Feng Laohu sneered: "I can't control you when you run your imperial mission, but I can't control you when you run into my private house and cause trouble."
Su Jin said: "I'm afraid you can't control it. I know that you, Feng Laohu, are the ambassador, but I, brothers Su Jin and Ma Jun, don't pay attention to your problems. Brothers, immediately search all the houses in this lane thoroughly. If you encounter any suspicious items,
All suspicious persons will be brought back for review, and again, if anyone resists, they will be shot without mercy."
The horse army was backed by Su Jin, and with the large number of people, they naturally united as one and agreed in unison, urging the horses to rush into the alley.
Feng Laohu's face changed. He put the iron ball in his arms and stretched out his eagle-like hands to touch the heads of the two horses passing by him. The two horses were suddenly unable to move in. They dug their eight hooves on the ground and let the soldiers
No matter how he slapped the horse's buttocks, he couldn't beat the power of Feng Laohu's palm.
Su Jin's face was ashen, he stretched out his hand and slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and said: "It turns out that Mr. Feng is really planning to have a fight with me. I know that you are the envoy, but I don't believe in this evil. I don't believe it."
My hundred and fifty forbidden troops cannot enter your little alley."
Seeing that the momentum was not right, hundreds of big men in the alley picked up their weapons and surrounded them one after another. The horsemen also drew their bows and arrows. The two sides were at war with each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The people watching the excitement retreated with their heads held in their hands, fearing that a fight would break out and cause disaster.
itself.
Feng Laohu's face changed several times, and he suddenly closed his hands and clasped his fists, laughing loudly: "What are you doing? You are an official and I am a citizen. How can ordinary people challenge the government? Isn't this asking for trouble? If you want to search, I will let you go.
You search, but I know what I said, so what if I can’t find the bandit chieftain you mentioned?”
Su Jin chuckled and said: "If you can't find anything, you won't be able to find it. If you can find it right away, wouldn't we become famous headhunters? If we can't find it today, let's search again tomorrow. If we can't find it tomorrow, we'll search again."
If you come again, if you can't search, you will come every day. In short, when the bandit chief is captured, we will stop searching."
The muscles on Feng Laohu's face twitched, and he suppressed his anger and said: "It turns out that the special envoy is deliberately entertaining me, but I don't know why I have offended you, and you have to be in trouble with me like this."
Su Jin laughed and said: "You really don't know? Don't you know why I came to Yangzhou? Forget it, you pretend to be stupid while I do my errands. It seems that the two of us can't pee in the same pot.
But I leave my words to you here. If you don't satisfy me for a day, I will not let you live in peace for a day. Don't think that you, Feng Laohu, are the most capable in the world. What you do is not perfect."
Veins popped up on Feng Laohu's face, and he was on the verge of an explosion. He had been living in Yangzhou for half his life, and he had never been teased like this today. From the nerdy prefect Song Xiang to the Yangzhou Prefecture, dozens of officials, big and small,
From a fifth-rank state official to a low-ranking official, no one should raise their hands and call him "Feng Ye" when they see him, but this hairless little food envoy in front of him is talking shamelessly in front of him.
, Hun didn't take him, the Tiger of Yangzhou, seriously, and Feng Laohu's arrogant self-esteem was trampled on like never before.
In an instant, he was about to give an order, asking his men to immediately break the muscles and bones of this group of imperial guards in the capital. He knew that his strength was more than enough to deal with these one hundred and fifty horse troops, and there were more than one in the alley.
Among these one hundred and ten men, there were more than two hundred people in the room who were waiting for his order and swarmed in.
But after decades of experience, he has learned that force is not a good idea. So what if he teaches these domineering guys a lesson? Going to war with the officers and soldiers is an act of violence. His pursuit is not to become the king of the mountain, but to become the king of the mountain.
It's just for profit. Making a lot of money and enjoying the glory and respect that others can't enjoy are his ultimate goals. If he is impulsive, he will feel happy in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, everything he has worked hard for for decades will be wiped out.
Feng Laohu knew very well that once he got involved with the officers and soldiers, he would immediately become a lost dog. Those officials who had been brothers in the past would not hesitate to draw a clear line with him, and would even turn around and spare no effort to kill him.
Not for anything else, just because no one would help him confront the imperial court head-on.
The more Feng Laohu thought about it, the more he understood, and the anger on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a friendly smile.
"What did Special Envoy Su say? I'm just enjoying a good meal under the favor of the imperial court. How can I have any ability? Special Envoy Su came to my office in person, and stood in the street one by one dismounting from his horse.
What I know is that you are busy with official business and are running errands. What I don’t know is that I, Feng Jingyao, have lost my etiquette. In this case, my lord, please step aside so that we can take a step to speak."
Su Jin chuckled and said, "Excuse me for a moment? What's there to say?"
Feng Laohu said: "My brothers are ignorant and have offended the envoys. Let's go and have a cup of tea to calm down the anger."
Su Jin achieved his goal, but he pretended to be hesitant. The purpose of making a scene was to lure Feng Laohu out and then have a showdown with him. As long as Feng Laohu was willing to hand over the food, Su Jin was naturally not willing to offend him.
Yangzhou's local snake, after all, he still has a lot of things to do, so it's not a problem to be entangled here all the time.
Thinking of this, Su Jin jumped off his horse and said: "It's okay, Mr. Feng is a famous person, so we have to give him face. It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Feng Laohu chuckled and said, "Please come this way."
Su Jin said loudly: "You guys will wait outside. I will come after a few words with Mr. Feng."
After saying that, he strode towards the alley with his head held high. Dynasty Mahan hurriedly followed. Zhao Dutou also quickly dismounted and followed Su Jin, but was stopped by Su Jin's look. They all followed, and once others took them all, even
If there is no leader, wouldn’t it mean that we are just like a bunch of headless flies?
Feng Jingyao stretched out his hand to summon one of his men, whispered a few instructions in his ear, and then led Su Jin to the alley.
Su Jin glanced at the houses on both sides with the corner of his eye, and vaguely saw the figures of people inside the house, and even the shining swords, and was secretly surprised; Feng Laohu was well prepared, and he thought they were those people in the alley.
subordinates, but they did not expect that there were still people ambushing the house. If a fight really broke out, he and the one hundred and fifty horse soldiers would suffer heavy losses.
The alley is not a wilderness. The horse army is just riding on the street to show off its power. Once the fighting starts, let alone other things, in this not-wide alley, three or nine horses can attack at the same time. As long as someone casually walks into the middle of the road
Throw in a few broken tables and cupboards, and the cavalry will immediately have to stop eating.
After walking for more than a hundred steps, Feng Laohu stood still, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Sir, please turn right. This small building is where the old man usually drinks tea and listens to music. It has been kept quiet. We are here.
Sir, can you still make it happen?"
Su Jin turned around and saw a two-story small building standing on the street. It has a small courtyard in the front and a small building in the back. It has carved railings and painted buildings, red walls and green tiles. It is not only the quiet place Feng Laohu said, it is simply a small palace.
.
"Master Feng knows how to enjoy himself. It seems that it is better to have money."
"Your Majesty, I am so complimentary. How can such a rural place be compared to the high-rise buildings that you are used to seeing? It's just more than enough."
"I have limited knowledge, but I have never seen any rural place with such grandeur."
Feng Laohu chuckled, led Su Jin into the small courtyard, and walked along the path into the building.
Su Jinyou looked around and couldn't help but secretly sighed. Although it was the middle of winter, the flower beds in the courtyard were full of unknown flowers. What was even more shocking was that Su Jin actually saw a small pond with clear blue waves, and there were actually
With steaming heat.
"This is...?" Su Jin pointed to the small pond and asked.
Feng Laohu looked at Su Jin's country bumpkin look with disdain and said with a smile: "I bought this private property just for this spring. The spring water gushes out from the ground is hot. Although Yangzhou City is freezing cold in winter,
There is no risk of being corroded by wind and frost here. It is quite fun for old people to come and soak here in their leisure time. It can cure diseases and strengthen bones."
Su Jin admired in his heart that this old guy actually knows how to enjoy himself so much, making a lot of money and soaking in hot springs, even if he gives it to a god.
"I asked Yangzhou to name this place 'Tsinghua Pond'. What do you think?" Feng Laohu was very satisfied with Su Jin's reaction and lost no time in shaking off his social connections.dd
