In September of the second year of Chongzhen, the weather in Luoyang, which had already entered autumn, was no longer sultry and unbearable. After finally settling the family of Zou Weilian who insisted on taking office alone, Zhu Youcong was preparing for another special welcome ceremony. Speaking of specialness,
It was because this time, in order to fulfill the interests of the landlord, he was even taken home by Prince Fu to be interrogated by three courts. He was also kicked by the little fairy several times, causing him to not be able to walk normally now. But he can get
This kind of treatment was mainly because the gift prepared for the distinguished guests this time was too unusual, and Zhang Yan, who was attentive and thoughtful, accidentally discovered it. It made Zhu Youcong so aggrieved and willing to go to war to recruit the magic sticks of the White Lotus Sect.
It will definitely not be easy to entertain people together with the technical experts from the original factory.
"My subordinate has seen the general!" Gao Yingxiang was unlucky enough. This time he kidnapped the Dan family and was knocked upside down at sea for more than a month. After finally getting ashore, he received another even more ridiculous order.
Still inviting people, but in a different way, that is, without making it public or being discovered, directly using purely violent and non-cooperative means! Fortunately, Zhou Fengxiang helped cover this time, and Gao Yingxiang, who had never done kidnapping before, still successfully completed it.
Task.
"No one was hurt?" This was the first time Zhu Youcong gave such an order. He was also afraid that Gao Yingxiang would be too harsh and frighten the distinguished guests.
"No, I don't dare to let them bump into each other along the way!" Anyway, the general wanted the person to be brought to Luoyang alive. Gao Yingxiang was afraid that the butchers would move around, so he simply gagged the person with a rag and put him in a box.
Okay, I just take him out for a little airing every day, it's really not easy to get hurt like this.
"Then have your whereabouts been discovered?" If others know that this group of people is in your hands, it will be of no use, and it may even cause international disputes.
Gao Yingxiang is a senior smuggler. If he didn't have the ability to let the officers and soldiers catch him all day long to traffic horses, he would have gone bankrupt long ago? Hearing this, he said proudly: "Look at what you said, General, these old brothers are all experienced.
How could we be caught so easily? When we left Macau, that guy who lost his wife was still looking for someone all over the city..."
"What? You kidnapped someone else's wife?" Zhu Youcong had a headache. Who are these people? Didn't I just ask you to find a few foreign monks and bring two foreign women over? Why?
What happened to such a big thing? Wife Yimou, when people come to make trouble, the magistrate of Xiangshan County will not be able to die of embarrassment?
"General, you can't blame me! There are only a few foreign women in that wretched place, and I've never seen any nuns you're talking about!" Gao Yingxiang became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, first complaining that there was nothing else to do in Macau.
The Yi girl finally said: "You tell me, these yellow-haired women are not as good as our Ming girls. If you are so determined, I heard that there are many beauties on the Qinhuai River when I return. Why don't I find a free time?"
Let's get you two boats..."
"Go away -" Zhu Youcong kicked Gao Yingxiang angrily and returned the two ships. Do you think I am a humanoid self-propelled sowing artillery?
Seeing Gao Yingxiang angrily rubbing his black-footed thigh and limping and muttering to the side, the new military advisor Nan Juyi dared to ask in a low voice: "General, you came all the way to bring these Westerners to
What’s the purpose of getting it?”
"What's the intention? You'll know in two days." Zhu Youcong smiled and asked without answering: "Are the places and banquets for them ready?"
Nan Juyi said worriedly: "Everything is prepared according to your arrangement, general, but is the medicine..."
"Didn't you tell me, first hit them physically, and then torture them mentally! Otherwise, these guys will listen to me and be at my mercy?" Before leaving, Zhu Youcong ordered Gao Yingxiang:
"You can keep the girls you like if you like them, and take the rest to the banquet prepared by Mr. Chu Yang for the guests. By the way, the Luo Jacob who Xiang dug up in Shanxi last time is also brought there!
"
What do you mean "dug out"? That's a priest, not a potato! Mentioning the unlucky foreign monk who has been in jail for more than half a month, Nan Juyi is also sweating. You said they are doing a good job in promoting the gospel in Shanxi, so what?
I provoked this little fat man a little bit, and ended up being transported to Luoyang inexplicably. The most puzzling thing is that he put people in jail without interrogating them, but instead served them with plenty of food and fish every day. If it weren't for
Gao Yingxiang and the others came back early, and that Luo Jacob was almost fed into a pig.
"Oh! My God——" A strong tenor voice broke the early morning tranquility of the small courtyard used to entertain distinguished guests the day before.
"Ah——" It was like a duet. Before anyone could condemn this immoral behavior, another soprano sounded.
"Look, I'm telling you that the medicine you gave is not effective enough! I've been working hard all night, but my energy is still so strong!" Zhu Youcong held a teacup and took the time to teach a large group of people standing around him. "
Remember, when treating VIPs, you have to use the best things, don’t be too stingy in the future!”
The powerful tenor pointed a trembling finger at the person in front of him, and stammered in his not-so-fluent Mandarin: "You... you..."
"Ah -" the soprano was still screaming, making the whole room so noisy that no one could hear clearly what she was going to say.
What is the situation? How could the little fat man go to peek at others sleeping and bring such a large group of people? The matter has to start after the news of Tang Ruowang's entry into Liaodong reached Luoyang. Zhu Youcong felt that the Tatars had worked so hard to do it.
If he gets one, he should send another one to show his goodwill. Isn't this just to find someone in Shanxi who has been with Tang Ruowang in the history of Chongzhen? And in order to let this guy named Luo Jacob feel the warmth of home before leaving,
Zhu Youcong also deliberately postponed the farewell banquet for half a month, and asked Gao Yingxiang to invite fellow villagers from Macau to accompany him. Of course, if something happened after the banquet, you really can't blame others. As for the appearance of this large group of people
Well... the whole of Luoyang is King Fu's territory. What's wrong with General Zhenguo leading his men around without sleeping? Who can have any objections?
"You! Shut up!" It was a waste for this woman not to sing an opera. She even screamed for such a long time without stopping. Seeing that his order had lost its effect for the first time, Zhu Youcong said to the guard angrily: "Give her
I beat him unconscious and dragged him down!"
"General...General!" As the host of yesterday's banquet, Sun Yuanhua felt it was necessary to remind this shameless little monster. "That Mrs. Yimu doesn't understand our Mandarin!"
"What's the matter? Who told her not to tell her earlier?" Zhu Youcong didn't think he should apologize, and continued to pester: "She didn't stay well in Macau but came to Luoyang, and she didn't learn the Mandarin of Ming Dynasty well.
, you deserve to be beaten!"
"I didn't sleep well and came here to catch Jian early in the morning. Do you think it's easy?" Without giving his own people time to react, Zhu Youcong put on another smiling face and said to Jacob Luo: "Priest Luo, we
We are all gentlemen, please stop yelling, it is very rude to disturb other people's rest!"
"Catch...catch Jian? You...you..." Although the medicine provided by the White Lotus Sect is not very effective, the sequelae are quite serious. Jacob Luo still doesn't understand the situation and is still stammering.
.
"That's right! Don't you know the identity of yourself and the lady who was just invited?" Hey, it seems that when you have time in the future, you will have to find a miracle doctor to help the White Lotus Sect improve the formula of the medicine, otherwise, if you take it
If someone becomes stupid after taking their medicine, who will want it if I give it away?
"No! No! This is a conspiracy! God will punish you!" No matter how stupid Luo Jacob was, he knew what was going on at this time. No wonder the hosts of the Ming Dynasty did not drink delicious food at yesterday's banquet.
As for the wine, there must be something in it that made me make the impulse I shouldn't have made at the wrong time and in the wrong place.
Conspiracy? Will the kind-hearted Zhu Youcong admit that he is so shameless? He quickly analyzed it for others: "Priest Luo, what you said is unreasonable. I organized a banquet for you with good intentions, and I even went out of my way to arrange a banquet for you.
Macau has invited Mrs. Yimu and the others, so how can this be a conspiracy? Besides, I didn’t join the religion in the Ming Dynasty. If your God wants to punish me, he has to wait until he learns our Mandarin, otherwise I will beat him up too!"
"No! God is omnipresent and omnipotent! He will definitely understand all your plots..." In desperation, Jacob Luo stopped stuttering and began praising the Lord.
"Okay! Stop nagging me. Since your Lord is omniscient, then what you are doing today..." Zhu Youcong did not intend to let him continue nagging him, so he said to Sun Yuanhua beside him:
"Mr. Chuyang, you have been with them for so long. Can these priests get close to women?"
"General, what you say is unreasonable. We used to learn advanced knowledge from them. If we had known that you knew so much, we would have used the light of being hung on that wooden frame all day long.
Are you just pretending to be in front of an old man?" After Sun Yuanhua, an immoral guy, learned more advanced knowledge, he changed the name of the Lord he was once forced to believe in. After venting his unhappiness, he replied in a low voice:
"As a priest, you can't get married, but this close woman... doesn't seem to have said that!"
"Didn't say?" Zhu Youcong was dumbfounded now. If Jacob Luo can't feel that he betrayed his faith, then how can I play? I've been preparing for so long, isn't it in vain, and let this kid take it?
What a big bargain? Zhu Youcong, whose plot failed, completely changed his face. He had to use his special skills and yelled at the guards around him: "Drag him down too! Invite him to the execution room to watch the show!"
"No! No! Prince, we can talk, we can talk properly!" Luo Jacob didn't know what the big show was, but he also understood that if he was taken down like this, the big fish and meat waiting for him would no longer be the same.
.
"Put it off! If we want to talk, we can wait until you finish watching the show!" What a joke, you don't have any leverage now, so it would be very detrimental to me to talk now. Since framing the blame won't work, then let's change it, ancestor.
But there are thirty-six moves left! If you don’t make you submissive, can I let you go to Liaodong?
ps: The rulers of the Ming Dynasty in Macau referred to the chieftain system implemented in ethnic minority areas and appointed Portuguese people as "Yimou", whose powers were equivalent to chieftains.
