Chapter 571: Food and Salary
With Lin Feng's instigation and relief, Wang Teng's mind quickly turned around with the strength of wine, thinking that what Lin Feng said made sense, it was just a meeting, what was so scary, and then he nodded heavily, and walked out of the room with confidence, and walked briskly towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.
At the door of the first floor of the music square, Wang Teng's subordinates were confronting Zeng Xiu, and the quarrel between the two sides was also extremely intense. I'm afraid that if it weren't for the scruples of both sides, they would have brought trouble to their masters, and they would have drawn their swords against each other a long time ago.
"What's the noise? What's the noise?! If you ruin the good deeds of General Ben, you will not be able to eat one by one! While going down the stairs, Wang Teng stretched out his hand angrily and pointed at the arguing crowd and scolded sharply, and then his eyes lit up, and he found Zeng Xiu who had crossed the threshold with one leg, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly and pretended not to see it, secretly gritted his teeth, and continued to roar at the crowd that had quieted down: "A bunch of waste!" Didn't know that General Ben had an important guest reception today? What is the noise? What else does Lao Tzu want you to do? Can't solve such a trivial matter? ”
Suddenly, the group of Wang Teng's subordinates lowered their heads and did not dare to answer, but they slowly turned sideways and completely exposed Zeng Xiu, this time, Wang Teng couldn't pretend to be able to see it anymore, but he didn't plan to continue pretending, the forward body was slightly stunned, and then continued to walk forward, while taking a deep breath, his face was still full of unquenched anger, and asked in a deep voice: "General Zeng!" What do you mean? Did you know that General Ben is talking about something very important? Didn't you do this on purpose to scare away my guests? ”
"General Wang, forgive me!" Seeing this, Zeng Xiu glanced at Wang Teng in front of him with some doubts, and was very surprised in his heart What happened to the other party today, he dared to be so angry, but due to the status gap between the two sides, even if Zeng Xiu was Zhang Li's cronies, he had to salute Wang Teng with his fists first, and responded respectfully: "The last general is just a business!" General Zhang got the news that he had found a suspicious person entering Chang'an City, and he had indeed entered this Pingkangli! The last general is just doing what he is told! ”
"Suspicious people? Could it be that the two big words "bad guy" can still be written on that person's face?! Wang Teng ignored Zeng Xiu's explanation, and knew in his heart that those words were just an excuse for the other party, and Wang Teng didn't intend to show mercy to the other party, so he directly refuted it with a sentence, and then Wang Teng's gaze passed through Zeng Xiu, looked out of the door, and asked in a cold voice again: "General Zeng!" With such a big show, are you looking for suspicious people, or are you trying to catch criminals, or do you want to fight in this Pingkang? ”
"Don't dare! General Wang is honest! Zeng Xiu hurriedly bowed his hand again, but then his heart became even more depressed, Wang Teng in front of him had never been so strong, which made Zeng Xiu a little unaccustomed, feeling a little aggrieved, after a little thought, he continued to add: "As for what General Wang saw, it was all ordered by Lord Zhang to the last general!" How dare the last general move the remaining soldiers and horses at will! ”
No matter what Zeng Xiu explained, Wang Teng directly followed a principle, did not listen, and would turn around, and continue to question domineeringly: "Hmph! Can't? Don't you dare, why do you still bring so many people? And it looks like you're going to break through just now? Didn't General Zeng take General Ben seriously at all? ”
"This, this..." In front of the abnormal Wang Teng, Zeng Xiu was stunned as if he was beaten on the head, and he didn't know how to explain what happened just now when he was in a hurry, and when his eyes turned, he suddenly saw Lin Feng beside Wang Teng, including Yuan Biao and Li Xiaofeng behind Lin Feng, in Zeng Xiu's memory, he was completely sure that the three people he saw were definitely fresh faces, and Zeng Xiu could also conclude that if no one stood in place next to the three of them, they must not be ordinary people.
Immediately, Zeng Xiu remembered what Zhang Li said when he instructed him not long ago, and his flickering gaze gradually stabilized, staring at Lin Feng and the three of them back and forth for a few seconds, when Wang Teng was about to get angry again, Zeng Xiu suddenly withdrew his gaze, and after his mood calmed down, his thoughts also turned quickly, and he arched his hand towards Wang Teng, then straightened up, and said without humility or arrogance: "Please forgive General Wang!" Five soldiers were killed nearby just now, which is not a trivial matter, so many brothers are watching! If the last general can't give the five dead brothers an answer today, I'm afraid that not only these brothers behind the last general, but even if he turns around, General Zhang will not easily let the last general go! ”
"Oh? You just killed five of your brothers? Wang Teng naturally knew this matter in his heart, but he still made a look of surprise, and then sighed lightly, shook his head and comforted in a low voice: "General Zeng's Day mourning is!" In this regard, General Ben is also very uncomfortable! ”
"Then, would you like to ask General Wang to move for a moment? Wait for the last general to go in and have a look, so that I can give an explanation to the brothers! Zeng Xiu nodded, but there was not the slightest expression of sadness on his face because of the death of his subordinates, but stared at Lin Feng and the three of them behind Wang Teng, and asked in a deep voice.
"What?!" Hearing this, Wang Teng suddenly became angry again, as if he felt that Zeng Xiu's momentum in front of him was not as good as before, so he asked sharply again unreasonably: "General Zeng!" What do you mean? Do you suspect that General Ben hid the Assassin? Or do you suspect that General Ben is the Assassin? I want to go in and search! Today General Ben will tell you! No way! If you searched it today, and you have an explanation for your brother, what about General Ben? How else does General Ben explain to his brothers behind him? ”
"General Wang!" Zeng Xiu, who endured it again and again, couldn't bear it anymore, especially when he was questioned and reprimanded by Wang Teng again and again, which made Zeng Xiu feel extremely angry, and he couldn't care about whether the two sides would have a conflict because of this. If General Wang felt that something was wrong, then he would go to General Zhang to complain afterwards! When the time comes, if General Zhang speaks, he will be killed and punished, and he will listen to it! ”
"It's just that now the last general has to do what he is told!" After a pause, Zeng Xiu suddenly took a step back, and then his right hand slowly put on the hilt of the knife on his waist, and he slowly shouted in a heavy tone: "Brothers. ”
"Brothers!" Before Zeng Xiu finished speaking, Wang Teng interrupted the other party with a loud shout, and then shouted at the surrounding henchmen: "Be smart!" If anyone dares to step into this door today, they will be killed! ”
After saying that, Wang Teng took a big step forward, took a deep breath, and shouted categorically: "Now, General Ben is standing here as the commander of the Imperial City Guard!" General Ben is receiving distinguished guests! It is a major event related to the food and salary of hundreds of thousands of Great Qi soldiers in Chang'an City in the next few months! If anyone dares to trespass without permission and delay such a major event, it is to disobey the military order, deliberately plot rebellion, and there will be no forgiveness! ”
"Boom!" Hundreds of soldiers outside the door exploded, the weight of this short sentence is heavy enough in the hearts of everyone, the two-month halving of the salary is only enough to fill the stomach, and everyone has recently heard that it seems that the food is insufficient, and it will continue to be reduced.
But at this time, when they heard that General Wang Teng, who was preparing to deal with, seemed to be raising food and salary for everyone, one by one they were willing to continue, and they began to retreat to the rear and both sides, leaving Zeng Xiu and some of his henchmen and guards in a large open space at the entrance of the music fang, everyone was afraid that they would spoil the big things General Wang was doing because they were too far ahead, but now they hung Zeng Xiu in the middle, so that Wang Teng, who was standing in the music square, couldn't help but feel very happy, and secretly threw a surprised look at Lin Feng on the side.
