As he spoke, he actually learned Wu Sanzhong's actions just now, and repeated Wu Sanzhong's words as they were: "Hmph, you are from a businessman's family, and you are also worthy of fighting with me, a relative of the imperial family?" It's really beyond my power! ”

In an instant, Wu Sanzhong reacted - Cui Geng was born in a businessman, and so was Hou Sizhi!

One started by selling wine, and the surname Hou is even worse, Ya was born selling cakes!

On the spot, Wu Sanzhong's face turned green. Damn, I forgot about this stubble!

He hurriedly explained: "Hou... Depose the envoy Mingjian, I scolded Cui Erlang, his family originally opened a wine shop, I am by no means disrespectful to you! ”

But no matter how you explain it, Hou Sizhi can't be happy in his heart, after all, he was born to sell cakes, so it's better to open a wine shop. Over the years, Hou Sizhi's official fortune has been prosperous, and the saints are strong, which one in and out of the family is not a powerful person in the dynasty? He annoyed others to talk about his background as a bread seller.

Now when he came to Xiaoxiaoling Lingnan Road, someone actually mentioned his most reluctant background, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and immediately said coldly: "Oh, Zi said, heroes don't ask about their origins!" ”

Cui Geng: "......"

Nima, when did Master Confucius say this?

Wu Sanzhong was also stunned, after all, he had read the book, and corrected kindly: "Lord Hou, this sentence is not what Sage Kong said. ”

"Fart, you know a ball?" Hou Sizhi's old face turned red, and he said angrily, "Zi said it can also be, Mencius said it!" ”

Cui Geng: "......"

I was speechless for a while, this Nima is more than a little brother, I don't know how to learn a belly of straw bales!

Wu Sanzhong said: "Mencius didn't say this ...... either"

"Shut up!"

Hou Si stopped his hair, Wu Sanzhong, what do you mean? In front of so many people, why can't you let this official get off the stage? Can I spare you?

He was so angry that he raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "Hehe, Envoy Cui Su just said that you actually claim to be a relative of the emperor?" Wu appeases the envoy, you must know that pretending to be the royal family is a capital crime! ”

Sure enough, Hou Sizhi is not a generous person!

In front of Cui Geng, Wu Sanzhong can brag. But in front of Hou Sizhi, he didn't dare to talk about the identity of this puppet emperor's relatives.

What do you mean by a cool officer?

Unreasonable and cunning, desperately framing is a cool official!

I saw cold sweat on his forehead, so he quickly confessed and lied: "Imperial relatives? Did you say it below? Belch...... When I heard that Hou Yushi was coming, I was happy for a while and drank a few more glasses. A few words of gibberish, it is also quite possible. Hou Yushi, the emperor still avoids drunks, you must not take it seriously! ”

Seeing Wu Sanzhong's cowardice, Hou Sizhi was very disdainful in his heart, and secretly hummed, you dare to consider yourself a relative of the emperor and the country like a bird? Phew, what about Lao Tzu's background in selling cakes? You, a martial arts kid, don't you have to lie on your stomach honestly in front of me?

After beating Wu Sanzhong a little, it was too much, Hou Sizhi gave up, waved his hand and said: "Okay, drunk words, this official is not accountable!" But next time, Wu Anfu can take care of his own mouth, if he doesn't choose his words, he will bring trouble for himself! ”

Hou Sizhi is naturally a pun, not only knocking Wu Sanzhong Mo to pretend to be the emperor again, but also beating Wu Sanzhong Mo to talk about his businessman background again, after all, he was born to sell cakes, so he was afraid that others would hurt his self-esteem when he mentioned the past.

"That's, that'...... Know! ”

Wu Sanzhong didn't dare to be more serious, and said: "This official is the landlord, and he has set up a table of wine banquets in the Jade Building to catch the wind and wash the dust for Lord Hou. This is not a place to speak, Hou Yushi please. ”

"Oh? Have a heart! Everyone, please~"

Hou Sizhi greeted left and right, and took the lead alone.

……

The Jade House is the most upscale and largest restaurant in Guangzhou, and it was contracted by the pacification envoy Yamen today, specially used to welcome the deposed envoy.

As soon as everyone sat down, all kinds of delicacies were served like flowing water, full of color, flavor and taste, which made people appetize.

Just after the dishes were all served, Wu Sanzhong coughed lightly, quite flattering, and said enthusiastically: "In order to welcome Hou Yushi, a special northern taste food has been specially arranged, you must like it." ”

Hou Sizhi was really interested when he heard this, and said, "What food?" It's not that the official is a mouthful, I really can't get used to eating your southern dishes. ”

"Right away."

Wu Sanzhong patted his hand twice, and a team of young girls came up and put a plate in front of everyone...... Green onion cake.

The scallion cakes in the Tang Dynasty were no different from the steamed buns of later generations.

In the future, it will be difficult for this thing to reach the hall of elegance, and it can't be said that the opening banquet is over, and the finale is steamed buns, right?

However, during the Tang and Song dynasties, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, they not only liked to eat, but also regarded it as a very high-grade food.

In the Song Dynasty, there was even a record: On Renzong's birthday, he gave the ministers buns.

That is to say, Song Renzong's birthday, the ministers congratulate him on his birthday, and the emperor has to return the gift, come on, take a plate of steamed buns home.

can be given as a gift by the emperor, can the status of this bun be lower?

Therefore, Wu Sanzhong's arrangement is still very high-quality and face-saving. What's more, this is what Liang Porter deliberately spent money to inquire about, Hou Sizhi's favorite mutton and onion cake, uh, mutton buns!!

Seeing that Hou Sizhi's eyes were a little stunned, Wu Sanzhong felt that he had bet on the right treasure, and he didn't see that Hou Yushi was already so excited that he couldn't speak, and it was a nightmare?

He became more and more proud, and said happily: "Hou Yushi, let's taste how it tastes, this is a good mutton personally selected by Xia, and he specially ordered the mutton and onion cake made by Cuiyulou." ”

"You...... Do you want to invite this official to eat mutton and scallion cakes? ”

Boom!

Who knew that Hou Sizhi slapped the case violently, and said in a fierce voice: "Wu Sanzhong, are you humiliating this official?" ”

No longer calls Wu Anfu by his first name, it can be seen that he is extremely angry.

Wu Sanzhong was stunned on the spot, and he was puzzled, Liang Bo inquired, Hou Sizhi must eat two mutton and onion cakes for every meal, why did he make him mad?

His face was full of horror, and he asked cautiously, "This... It's arranged according to Hou Yushi's preferences, is there anything wrong with this? ”

"My preference? What do I like? Unexpectedly, Wu Anfu knew the preferences of his official well. Good, very good, this official will be rewarded in the future. ”

Hou Sizhi sat down again, and there was a sneer, this gloomy smile made Wu Sanzhong's heart tingle and panic even more than the shooting just now.

At this time, Cui Geng wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, in his opinion, Hou Sizhi's madness was too normal.

Because after he knew about Hou Sizhi from Feng Pu's mouth, he recalled the record of Hou Sizhi in history in that absurd dream,

Regarding Hou Sizhi's preferences, Wu Sanzhong only knows one and does not know the other.

Hou Sizhi was born in poverty, he loves to eat mutton buns very much, and even after making his fortune, he has repeatedly instructed the chef to put more meat and less green onions in the buns he eats.

However, what is good is that it comes and goes, and somehow this word spread outside, and people give it the nickname "Shrinking Onion Serving the Imperial History." ”

It's not a shame to love steamed buns, but eating steamed buns only eats meat and doesn't eat green onions, but it's a bit of a nouveau riche turtle dick.

After Hou Sizhi heard this nickname, he was naturally deeply ashamed.

Therefore, when eating, he orders it himself, and he still likes to eat meat buns. But when others feasted him, if anyone dared to serve meat buns, he thought he was ridiculing him as a turtle dick, and it would be strange if he didn't get mad on the spot.

This time, Wu Sanzhong's ass was regarded as a slap on the horse's leg.

In fact, Wu Sanzhong didn't know that the reason why he suffered such a big loss today was because of his stingy character.

Because he was reluctant to pay for it, he asked Liang Bo to pay out of his own pocket to explore Hou Sizhi's interests and fetishes. So who is Liang Bo? is also a smuggler who can make money, where would he be willing to pay a thousand yuan for Wu Sanzhong?

As a result, Liang Bo only took out two pieces of money to bribe Hou Sizhi's chef. But he didn't know that Hou Sizhi's subordinates were all masters who were used to eating and drinking with their own masters, how could they see such a small amount of money? I even felt that Liang Bo was humiliating him, I hadn't seen the silver or what?

So, he deliberately told Liang Bo a half-truth.

So Wu Sanzhong, that's called an injustice, the horse's fart really slapped the horse's legs, and he couldn't find the reason.

Although he didn't know the cause and effect of this incident, he knew that the topic of "mutton buns" could never continue.

So, he glanced left and right, and quickly asked people to remove all the dazzling meat buns on the table.

Then, after giving up the book and serving a few batches of hard dishes, Hou Sizhi's face looked a little better.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he quickly changed the topic and suggested that Hou Sizhi go to Quanzhou.

He praised the prosperity of Quanzhou Port with Hou Sizhi, saying that there are abundant people and deserve to be the largest port in the world. The warehouses in the harbor are filled with gold, jade, pearls, tortoiseshells, and spices.

Unexpectedly, Hou Sizhi's face that had just eased down turned stiff again, and he casually threw the bamboo chopsticks in his hand on the table, and scolded: "What nonsense! This official, the deposed envoy of Lingnan Province, has an errand, that is, to investigate and handle Jia Renyi's case. What is your intention in letting this official go to Quanzhou? ”

Wu Sanzhong didn't think so this time, and thought to himself, what are you pretending to be? If you really handle Jia Renyi's case, shouldn't you go to Zhangzhou? What's the deal with staying in Guangzhou? Don't you like the wealth of our Guangzhou and want to make a profit?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly explained: "There is no other intention in the next place, there is a way to come to Lingnan but not to Quanzhou, I really don't know the prosperity of the world!" I also hope that Hou Yushi will make this trip worthwhile, and the mountains and rivers will come to Lingnan from Chang'an......"

"No more." Hou Sizhi raised his hand to interrupt Wu Sanzhong, shook his head and said, "This official is in Guangzhou, and he won't go anywhere." In addition, you ordered for this official to bring Chen Yuanguang and Jia Renyi in, and I will try this case in Guangzhou. ”

What do you mean, this Hou Sizhi is going to play for real?

Wu Sanzhong was really a little incomprehensible for a while, and Hou Sizhi couldn't guess it, and said: "Chen Yuanguang is just that, his filial piety period is now full, and he has no official position, so he can be summoned to Guangzhou at any time." But Jia Renyi is the assassin of Zhangzhou, he is gone, what should I do if the bureaucrats make trouble? ”

Hou Sizhi said indifferently: "It's easy to do, you can make another official document and let Governor Shi of Zhangzhou perform his duties." ”

Wu Sanzhong frowned slightly and reminded: "That...... Zhangzhou is a lower state and has no long history. ”

Hou Sizhi was furious and said: "Wu Sanzhong, you pig brain, push three and four, is it sincere to find this official unhappy today or what?" If you don't have a long history, don't drive. All in all, Jia Renyi must come to Guangzhou! ”

After a pause, he added: "In addition, in order to facilitate the investigation and handling of this case by this official, Wu Anfu and Cui Yushi are not allowed to leave Guangzhou City from today onwards, and must be on call." ”

Wu Sanzhong doesn't have any opinions, his place of governance was originally in Guangzhou, after more than half a year of care, I dare not say that Guangzhou City is under control, but at least it can be called half of the home field.

Cui Gengke was dumbfounded, and secretly thought, Nima's, can't you leave Guangzhou City? Isn't this equivalent to putting Lao Tzu under house arrest? Could it be that these two people were singing bitter tricks just now, but in fact, the surnamed Hou was secretly on Wu Sanzhong's side?

However, no matter how reluctant he was, Hou Sizhi was sent by the imperial court from Chang'an to supervise the case. Cui Gengzong has opinions, and he has to act according to the rules, but he has no choice but to answer yes with Wu Sanzhong.

Now that the matter is over, and the wind and dust washing banquet is almost finished, Hou Sizhi wiped his mouth, got up and said, "The official is full, please please." ”

Stand up and go.

Wu Sanzhong hurriedly got up to see him off, and said attentively: "Let's go with Lord Hou below, and on the way, I can introduce Lord Hou to the mansion arranged." If there is anything you are not satisfied with, just mention it, if it doesn't work, let's change it again. ”

Cui Geng saw Wu Sanzhong's dog-legged appearance, and felt greasy in his heart, and said disdainfully, Nima's, just like this bird, is it useful to be a big official?

After complaining secretly, he went downstairs with other officials in Guangzhou City.

When they arrived at the door, they were the ones who should sit in the sedan chair and the people who should ride the horses, and they left separately, and the people were noisy and chaotic.

"Ah~~ Help!"

Just when everyone was about to say goodbye and go home, suddenly a sudden change occurred-

I followed the prestige, but I saw a beggar with a fierce face, waving a long dog-beating stick, running towards this side at great speed.

At the moment when everyone was stunned, the beggar had already crossed the cordon of the sergeants, and was not far from Hou Sizhi, a few steps away.

it!

If Hou Sizhi has three long and two short in Guangzhou City, then what will he do?

Wu Sanzhong was frightened on the spot, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Catch the assassin!" Catch the assassins! Protect Hou Yushi! ”
