Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, the next morning, Guo Tongxiong, who was terrified, and his entourage knelt in front of Guo Xiong, the patriarch of the Guo clan in Guixiang, looking at the patriarch with an angry face, and the two didn't even dare to breathe.

When Guo Tongxiong woke up in the morning, he was in a firewood room in Pingkangfang, and his entourage Ah Cai was in rags, looking at himself with a resentful face, he spent so much money to sleep in a firewood room? Guo Tongxiong, who woke up, was furious on the spot, and wanted to settle accounts with the people of Qunfang Courtyard, but he didn't expect Ah Cai on the side to desperately stop him, and after figuring out what happened last night, it took half an hour for Guo Tongxiong to come back to his senses.

After asking three times and confirming that Ah Cai was not lying to himself, Guo Tongxiong's heart sank into a trough all of a sudden.

It's over, it's all over, if something like this happens in Qunfangyuan, his future is all over, that is, the Guixiang Guo clan is also discredited, and the clan elders who want to revive the prestige of the Guixiang Guo clan can spare themselves?

Guo Tongxiong was so frightened that his face was pale, and he didn't dare to settle accounts with the people of Qunfang Courtyard again, he wanted to sneak away from Chang'an, and when the limelight and fire passed, the matter would fade away, and then ask the patriarch for guilt, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came out of Pingkangfang, he asked the housekeeper of Guo's mansion to block it, saying that the patriarch asked him to go back to the house immediately, so there was the current scene.

The "bastard" looked at Guo Tongxiong who was kneeling on the ground, and the current patriarch of the Guo clan in Guixiang roared like thunder: "Idiot, what have you done? ”

Guo Tongxiong knelt on the ground, trembling, lowered his head, did not dare to speak, and did not dare to look at Guo Xiong's already red eyes.

"Why, if you have the courage to do it, but you don't have the courage to say it, you still feel that your wings are stiff, and the old man can't control you?" Guo Xiong saw that his nephew did not respond to his question, so he kicked him to the ground and scolded loudly.

In a bad mood, I don't like anything, I think that the steward of the prince's mansion came to send a letter early in the morning, saying that he should restrain his subordinates and not involve the prince's mansion, his attitude was very dissatisfied, Guo Xiong was afraid and confused, and he had to curry favor with one by one, and finally figured out what the prince said, it turned out that Guo Tongxiong, the nephew who was the head of foreign affairs, not only made a big joke in Qunfanglou, but also said that he was a person from the prince's mansion when he spoke, and implicated the prince, and the prince Li Ying was well-informed, and sent someone to ask for the crime early in the morning.

Guo Xiong was furious on the spot, eager to pinch this trouble-causing guy to death on the spot, and after finally persuading the prince to retire, he immediately sent someone to block his nephew who wanted to run away after causing trouble.

This kind of thing happened just when he started to take refuge, and Guo Tong, who was bent on being promoted, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Yes, yes, yes" Guo Tongxiong was startled, and hurriedly slapped himself, and said while beating: "My nephew is obsessed with ghosts, and he has done something stupid for a while, please ask the patriarch to spare this time for the sake of seeing the little nephew who has worked hard for your hometown Guo over the years, and I won't dare next time." ”

"And next time?" Guo Xiong's face was cold, he stretched out his hand, there was a crisp sound of "pop", and his right hand hit Guo Tongxiong's pale face firmly, this one was full of hatred, and it was vigorous, and Guo Tongxiong was fanned to the ground, and half of his face was swollen on the spot, and the five finger prints were clearly visible, which made Guo Tongxiong's eyes appear to be golden, and he almost didn't faint.

Feeling some fishy smell at the corner of his mouth, Guo Tongxiong touched it with his hand, and his hands were full of blood.

"Patriarch, spare your life, spare your life, don't dare, my nephew won't dare in the future." Feeling the coldness in the patriarch's eyes, Guo Tongxiong couldn't care about the pain, and begged for mercy while snorting.

Guo Xiong sighed, patted his nephew on the shoulder and said: "Tongxiong, it's not the ruthlessness of being an elder, the prince's mansion is here, how can I give them an explanation, and I also want to give an explanation to those people in Datang who see the jokes of our Guixiang Guo, bear with it." ”

After that, Guo Xiong stood up and said expressionlessly: "Guo Tongxiong, the head of foreign affairs, did not abide by the clan rules, disgraced the Guo family of Guixiang, and the crime was unforgivable. The lowly slave Ah Cai, dereliction of duty, did not take good care of the master, and was beaten to death with a stick. ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Tongxiong and Ah Cai's faces changed abruptly, and while kowtowing again and again, they wept and begged for mercy, but their eyes had no effect, and soon Guo's mansion sounded with the terrifying sound of broken bones and terrible screams.......

"Haha, hahaha..."

The screams in Guo's mansion continued, and in the side hall of the Zheng Mansion a square away, Zheng Peng let out a string of hearty laughter, nothing made people happier than hearing that the person he hated was unlucky.

Building one's happiness on the pain of his enemies is what Zheng Peng likes to do the most.

Zheng Peng finished laughing, and asked with some puzzlement: "Guo Tongxiong's alcohol consumption is not bad, even if he drinks some aphrodisiac wine, he will not have a chaotic temperament, and he will do such an unbearable thing in public, An Lushan, what is the reputation of the pot of wine you gave him to drink?" ”

Listening to An Lushan, Guo Tongxiong walked without help, and he didn't solve it anywhere, and he would find a toilet, which showed that his sanity was still there, he drank the wine prepared for him by An Lushan, took off his pants in public, and had a "love of people and trees", and he also wanted the overlord to bow hard like a beautiful woman, which can be explained not only by drunkenness, it is estimated that his mind was not clear at that time.

An Lushan smiled and said flatteringly: "Back to the general's words, in addition to the aphrodisiac medicine in the wine, the small one also added hibiscus flowers, by the way, hibiscus flowers are also called broken intestine grass." ”

Hibiscus flowers? Broken intestine grass?

Zheng Peng paused for a moment, and quickly remembered that hibiscus flowers and broken intestine grass are other names for poppies in the Tang Dynasty.

The earliest time of poppy growth and use is in 3400 B.C., the origin is West Asia, as early as the Six Dynasties, it has been introduced to China, and there is planting, Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty "Xianfang Note" said: Broken intestine grass is unknown. Its flowers are beautiful, and the name is hibiscus flowers. Li Bai also wrote, "In the past, it was a hibiscus flower, but now it is a broken intestine grass." How long can you get good things for others? But the poppy is not widely used in the Tang Dynasty, and its role is mostly used as ornamental or medicinal.

If you take a large amount of opium poppy, it may strongly stimulate people's nerve centers in a short period of time, so that you can't help but do incredible things, so it is not difficult to explain, Guo Tongxiong was completely immersed in his own world at that time, where can he still listen to others?

Unexpectedly, An Lushan still knew about hibiscus flowers, Zheng Peng said in surprise: "An Lushan, how do you know the efficacy of hibiscus flowers?" ”

An Lushan said respectfully: "Back to the general's words, the little one has never seen the hibiscus flower, that is, when I went south and north with my brother, I once inadvertently saved a Hu Shang, Hu Shang in order to thank us, he gave us a pack of hibiscus flower medicine, saying that this is to cure dysentery, relieve poisoning, etc., very effective, once my brother An Sishun made a mistake, the medicine and salt package made of hibiscus flowers mistakenly, put a lot in the dish, he cried and laughed and jumped after eating, but it was scary, afterwards he said that his people seemed to have eaten the fairy medicine, I don't know what to do, and there is no pain when my foot is twisted, and the little one has tried a few times with a chicken and a hare, and he knows its function, so he mixed it with an aphrodisiac to coax the surname Guo to drink, but he didn't expect things to go very smoothly. ”

Zheng Peng nodded and said, "Patient, shrewd, careful, and eclectic, this thing is well done." ”
