The emperor who sits on the throne is nothing remarkable, and his troubles are the same as those of the patriarchs of the eight major clans.For those who rebel against them, they try to suppress them by all means; For those who surrender to themselves, they are always vigilant and worried about rebellion.Therefore, the only reason that Emperor Lao'er guessed the real purpose of Zhuge Yi lurking in Ciyu Town was to swallow a huge amount of wealth.Zhuge Yifu smiled and didn't make a difference, Qin Wu watched his changes and beat at the right time, as for Ling Eighteen in Yanxia Town, he ignored the madness of the emperor Lao'er.After a simple breakfast, Qin Wu said goodbye and rode to the capital with two golden thread Shu brocade secret decrees.The patriarch who was sitting on pins and needles wanted to leave, but he was so hungry for meat and food brought in by the old housekeeper Abel that he sat down again.His eyes stared at a plate of red, shiny, greasy pork knuckles in the center of the table."
Gollum!"
The Adam's apple rolled, and the patriarch swallowed saliva very unproductively, so hungry that his tongue wriggled in his mouth, and the saliva became more and more abundant.Looking at his greedy expression, Li Haitang covered his mouth and snickered, Zhuge Yi couldn't help laughing.Although the Dian clan is ranked sixth, the business is very simple.There are few people in the Dian clan, and there are even fewer strong male laborers, so the kilns of the Dian clan mainly burn civilian stoneware water tanks.Stoneware water tank in porcelain Yu town does not even need to open a shop, only need to put a grass shed outside the kiln, the villagers of the nearby ten miles and eight towns will come to the grass shed to buy water tanks, and other towns also have dealers to buy large quantities of goods.The patriarch is a martial idiot, not good at business strategy, and every time he follows a few patriarchs to make some small profits, he is satisfied.Therefore, if a woman of the Dian clan wants to marry into another clan's husband, she will always be disliked and the clan is poor, and the clansmen also have a lot of complaints about the Dian patriarch.Li Haitang looked at the greedy patriarch, thinking about the plain poverty of the Dian clan, and felt a little sympathetic to the honest and upright patriarch.As the saying goes, it's not the diamond drill that doesn't do the porcelain work.The patriarch is not a scheming person, but he has become the patriarch and controls the fate of the whole clan.Greasy meat food was placed on the table, and Zhuge Yi, who didn't like greasy taste, sat by the window and drank fragrant tea.Although Li Haitang likes meat food, it will be lighter in breakfast.She didn't like Zhuge to hide far away, so she sat opposite the patriarch and accompanied her, occasionally picking some vegetables to eat.The patriarch cleaned his hands, grabbed the pig's knuckle and gnawed it proudly, and praised while gnawing: "It's so fragrant!"
This is the craft of a chef, it's really good.Uncle Li's second cousin's cook can't make such fragrant but not greasy, glutinous and non-firewood pork knuckle.Delicious!
Delicious!
”"If it's delicious, eat more, if it's not enough, let Abel bring another one."
Li Haitang swallowed her saliva, it was the first time she saw the patriarch eat like this, and it was an eye-opener.Zhuge Yi, who was sitting by the window, smiled gently: "When the patriarch of Dian leaves, he will also bring one back to relieve Mrs.
Dian's hunger." ”"No need."
The patriarch chewed on the last bite of greasy flesh and threw the large, bare bones into the plate.Touching his stomach and burping, he said: "In the few days in the capital, I often regret that when Feng Xian's daughter wanted to cooperate with us and help the Dian clan, my husband and wife were timid and afraid of things and did not dare to comply. ”"So it seems that the Patriarch has figured it out?"
Li Haitang handed over a cup of tea, and the patriarch took it and leaned it up, put the empty teacup upside down on the table, and said, "Yes, I figured it out."
Whatever you need us to do, we will never do it. ”"Isn't Patriarch Afraid that we will even swallow the Dian Clan?"
Li Haitang asked speciously, wondering what kind of answer the patriarch would give.The patriarch laughed and asked, "I said I'm afraid, will you stop?"
”"No!"
Li Haitang replied decisively.The patriarch stretched out his hands, with an expression of resignation for you to slaughter.Li Haitang naughtily spit out her pink tongue and crawled into Zhuge Yi's arms to be coquettish.Zhuge Yi took her into his arms and asked, "I don't know what chance made Patriarch Dian decide to form an alliance with us?"
”The patriarch sighed abruptly, lifted the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all, before he told everything he had seen and heard in the capital and on the way back."
When I first came to Beijing to see the emperor, the emperor asked how the business was going in the town of Porcelain Yu?
How are the people of the Eight Great Clans living?
How did the migrants live?
”After I had written it out, the Emperor fell into deep thought.It wasn't until my legs knelt numb and unconscious that the emperor remembered to reward me for my meritorious service in offering the jade seal.I also took the opportunity to ask the emperor to pardon the death penalty for one year in case I needed it in the future. ”"On the way back, Zhang Qincha drank with me, and when he was drunk, he mocked me for being stupid and ignorant and fell into the emperor's trap, and bluntly said that the emperor had already planned to take back Ciyu Town and occupy the wealth of the eight major clans to fill the treasury."
Li Haitang sneered and scolded: "The emperor Lao'er wants to be beautiful, and the clansmen of the eight major clans are desperately trying to earn a family business, how can they be calculated by him."
Hum!
Faint!
Bad apple!
”"It's indeed a faint king."
Zhuge Yi agreed, pampering his fair and round little face.The patriarch drank another cup of tea, pounded the table with the teacup, and said indignantly: "That night, I was taken aback after hearing it, and I thought that I was drunk and hallucinated and didn't dare to ask.When I woke up the next day, I felt more and more that Zhang Qin had come to Ciyu Town not to arrest the bandits who had stolen the jade seal, but to secretly explore the wealth foundation of the eight major clans. ”"Patriarch, why don't you tell the patriarchs and masters of the eight major clans about this news, you are the ones in the same boat."
Li Haitang blinked his apricot eyes and found that the honest and upright patriarch was also very cunning.Fearless of her visiting, the Dian Patriarch threw away the teacup that had been clutched into porcelain tiles, and said, "I just need to keep the Dian clan." ”"As the patriarch, he is worthy of the clan, and he is already a good man who stands up to the sky.The patriarch is self-aware and aware that it is human nature to protect his clan, and I appreciate the character of the patriarch who dares to act and be brave. ”Zhuge Yi is like a fist salute between the people of the rivers and lakes, and it is a great honor for the patriarch of Yudian.Even when he was sitting, the patriarch still held his head high, hugged his fists and saluted, and there was the majesty of the head of the clan and the pride of the people of the rivers and lakes.Zhuge Yi asked Li Haitang to go to his bedroom to get a small silver token.Li Haitang had never seen Zhuge Yi send a small token to his "allies", and went to the secret cabinet in the bedroom on the second floor to find it.When he came back, he didn't hand it over to him, but sat far away and studied it.Zhuge Yi smiled dumbly and said, "Patriarch Dian is not strange, she is also the first time she has seen it, and she is very curious." ”The Patriarch sneered, wondering what the little silver token was for.Zhuge Yi took this opportunity and said, "The small token can mobilize a team of guards, and there are twenty people in a team.Whatever the patriarch needed, they could find it.When the Patriarch and Mrs.
Dian were in danger, someone immediately appeared to protect them when they showed this small token. ”"Zi Boxian nephew, you ......
You sent me a guard?
”"They are not only guards, but also kung fu masters, spies, meticulous workers, and thieves."
Zhuge Yi called Haitang to hand the small silver token to the patriarch and instructed: "If this token is lost, the guards who protect you will also be withdrawn."
The patriarch should take good care of it. ”The patriarch held the small silver token as if he had received a treasure, and nodded again and again.() Glory to the end
