Chapter 263: His Royal Highness
While leading the way, this little guy educated this little brother, "You mean ordinary people, although they say that they have to kneel down and kowtow when they meet a parent officer, but how many opportunities does he have to see the parent officer in his life? It's **** one side. There is a chance to kneel before the ancestral tablet, how can there be a chance?"
"Look at those high officials in the imperial court. They kneel and kowtow all day long, either to the emperor or to the princes. There are also empress dowagers, empresses, whoever they see, they are not allowed to kowtow once, but these People, aren’t they much more valuable than those mud-legged people? Much more respectable?”
The little brother glanced at the leading scribe, "Brother Pei, listen to this, it makes sense!"
The scribe surnamed Pei nodded in agreement and gave a thumbs up, "Teachable!"
The little guy was very proud, but who knows, the next moment, he heard the little brother say, "But I still want others to kowtow to me, I don't want to kowtow to others."
The little guy looked at the little brother like a fool, and he was about to arrive at the Juyi Hall. He wanted to rush in to report, so he didn't bother to talk to the little brother.
The Juyi Hall faces south and faces north, with a row of stockades on both sides. There are many people gathered at the door, waiting for the meat in the pot.
Inside, on the north side, there is a big chair with a piece of tiger skin on it, on which Zhu Wu sits, a platform under his feet, and two top chairs on both sides, namely Zhang Chun and Liu Da.
There are more than ten young men on the left and right of the underground, wearing short jackets and trousers of the same color, a turban on their heads, and sticks in their hands. When this group of horse dealers came in, these people shouted "mighty", at first hearing, they thought they had entered the county government.
Pei Wenshi and the others were able to keep their eyes on the ground, but the little brother who was walking next to Pei Wenshi was very surprised by the response. His eyes rolled around and he muttered, "This is the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion!" !"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Zhu Wu glanced at the little brother's face, with disgust and disgust undisguised in his eyes. This yin and yang face is unlucky to look at.
"Who is here?" Zhu Wu propped his hands on his knees, with his chin up and his eyes rolled up, looking arrogant.
Pei Wenshi cupped his hands casually, "My lord, Pei Wujiu, will lead a group of brothers to join the Dikui King. If the Dikui Wang doesn't want to see me, I'll leave now."
"You think this is the gate of the vegetable garden, you can enter if you want, and get out if you want?" Liu Da slapped the big knife on the ground, "Quickly explain, did the little prince send you here?"
"Young lord? What little lord?" Pei Wujiu was stunned for a moment, "I also ask the second general to enlighten me!"
Liu Dazai carefully looked at the faces of this group of people, but he didn't see a handsome and indistinguishable face, and he didn't even look at the young man's face, he was a little disappointed, "It's the court sect The little prince who came here came to encircle us, hehe, the guy with no hair yet wants to fight us, Bailian Bodhisattva, I am invulnerable, he is here to try!"
Pei Wujiu waited for Liu Da to finish speaking, then withdrew his astonished gaze, and said to Zhu Wu, "The Dikui looks like we are sent by the imperial court?"
"You didn't write on your face, how do I know if you are sent by the court? Come, lock everyone up for me!" Zhu Wu drew out the double knives on his back, and slapped each other with a slap, Immediately, the young men on both sides began to shout "mighty" again, approaching Pei Wujiu and his party.
This group of people looked calm, and they didn't panic too much. Instead, they spontaneously formed a group back to back, facing these people with big sticks with their bare hands.
On the other hand, Pei Wujiu, still standing calmly, said disappointedly to Zhu Wu, "Lord Dikui, so this is how your religion treats guests, since your religion is so afraid of the imperial court, why bother to fight against the imperial court?" ? The people in your religion think we were sent by the imperial court, dare to ask, where is the evidence?"
In a word, Zhu Wu was stopped. He looked at these people up and down, but he couldn't see any clues. He didn't even have a weapon in his hand. He said that they were sent by the court, and he was indeed flattering these people. "Your horse is Where did it come from?"
"I'm a caravan going back and forth between Xiliang and Dayong. We've always had a good relationship. Liu Xingjun, who was transferred to Fenzhou as the commander-in-chief this time, is a disaster. Not only did he confiscate all the more than one hundred Xiliang horses we brought back, He actually asked me to hand over one million taels of silver, or else we would kill our more than twenty brothers."
Pei Wujiu pointed to a total of eleven brothers behind him and said, "There were originally twenty-six of us who escaped death, and now there are only eleven brothers left. If the local king must doubt our sincerity, I will not wait." It can be said, please let the king of Dikui let us live, and see you all in the world in the future!"
"Tell me, who is the general soldier of Fenzhou? Liu Xingjun?" Hearing this name, Zhu Wu's expression changed, and with a wave of his hand, those young people who surrounded Pei Wujiu and the others dispersed in a hurry That's it, everyone returns to his place.
Liu Da panicked, "Brother, why did Liu Xingjun come here? Did he come after us?"
Zhu Wu pondered for a while, raised his head and said, "Whether he came here for us or not, if he has the ability, he will go to Xiliang. We are from Dayong, and we didn't provoke him, so we took a mountain and became king. Didn't His Royal Highness say that?" Is it? When he comes, let’s run, and when he leaves, let’s come again, in case he’s a bird!”
Pei Wujiu lowered his eyes to hide the look in his eyes, waited for Zhu Wu to finish speaking, he raised his head and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness Dikui, I'll wait for His Highness Dikui to say something."
Your Highness?
These two words made Zhu Wu's eyes brighten, and he said to himself, indeed, he was someone who had dealt directly with the imperial court. In terms of etiquette, he was better than those who wandered the rivers and lakes like them. book.
He couldn't help asking, "Dare to ask Mr. Pei, do you have any fame?"
Hearing the other party's very polite title, Pei Wujiu couldn't help but smiled a little, and said humbly, "I am the thirteenth place in Shaanxi Qiuwei in the first year of Shoukang."
This is a very remarkable ranking, Zhu Wu stood up from his chair in shock, and took two steps forward, "Ah, Mr. Pei, please, please take a seat!"
"Your Majesty dare not!"
The two young men quickly moved the fourth chair and placed it under Zhang Chun's chair, which also meant that the gang of Shaohua Mountain bandits accepted Pei Wujiu and the others.
"My brother came at the right time. Yesterday, we just robbed Huayin County. There is a rich family named Shi there. There are more than ten pigs in his family. Seeing that the new year is ready to be slaughtered, it is not cheap for us!" Zhang Chun happily pointed to the large pots at the door. The meat was rolling in the pots, and the aroma became more and more intense.
The first update!
