Cao Wenzhao stared at Guan Yinzhi and said coldly: "This slap is the price you paid for what you just said." ”

He snorted, spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on Guan Yinzhi's face, and walked away without looking at him again. Guan Yinzhi was behind him, staring at him with resentment in his eyes.

Cao Wenzhao, can he not understand the consequences of his slap? He's just arrogant, but he's not stupid. In the past, he couldn't beat this slap, but he couldn't care about it anymore. He was already short-tempered and arrogant, and in the past few years, he led his troops to fight everywhere, and he was also angered by many civilian officials. This guy who doesn't have long eyes just bumped into him, who will he hit if he doesn't hit him?

And when he did this, he was actually venting his grievances, complaining and demonstrating to Hong Chengchou: A few years ago, I fought and won a success, and you didn't give me an official rank and knight, and pressed me, right? Now the thieves are making trouble again, and the momentum is huge, I see what happens to you! Now I'm just unhappy, I'm angry, I'm going to hit you in the face, I see how you dare to treat me!

And recently I lost the war, I don't lose the war, I still dare to fight the court officials, what can you do?

Cao Wenzhao felt that Hong Chengchou didn't dare to do anything to himself.

As long as the thieves are not extinguished, as long as the thieves are still raging in Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou has to rely on himself, the court has to rely on himself, and this Shaanxi is indispensable to himself! In that case, what is it to hit the level? If you don't kill him, it's already good!

I have to say that Cao Wenzhao's slap was indeed very happy, and everyone applauded in their hearts, and the deterrent effect of this slap is obvious. Seeing that their own county magistrates were slapped by this arrogant Cao Zongbing, how could other people in the county dare to snub them? How can you dare to disobey the yang?

If there was no such slap as a foundation, maybe Guan Yinzhi, who was humiliated and threatened by Cao Wenzhao and held a grudge, would give orders to his subordinates, let them obey the yang and the yin, make the stumbling block play tricks, and not honestly entertain Dong Ce and others. But now, even if Guan Yinzhi asked his subordinates to do this, no one dared.

They prepared the hot water and rice that Cao Wenzhao wanted as soon as possible, and the rest place was also picked up, so that the soldiers could get enough rest as soon as they were full after they were full of food and drink.

The soldiers can rest, but Dong Ce and the three of them cannot, the three of them are busy hitting the back of their heads with their heels, arranging meals and stationing, arranging guards to visit the sentry, settling the wounded, settling war horses, and so on...... They have to worry about it.

After settling the soldiers and horses brought by their respective men, and tossing for more than an hour, the soldiers had found a place to sleep after they had eaten and drunk, and the three of them were finally able to sit down and catch their breath.

The carved beams and paintings are quite exquisite, the ground is paved with terrazzo bricks, there are a lot of precious furniture in the house, and there is a table of eight immortals in the middle, which is full of wine and food at this time, and the three of Dong Ce, Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao sit around the table.

This is the three yas of the county government of Sanshui County.

After entering the city, Cao Wenzhao honestly and unceremoniously requisitioned the county government, drove out all the people inside, and then moved in by himself. Dong Ce touched his light and also moved in.

In today's battle, the three of them fought from morning to evening, fighting and fleeing for their lives along the way, and they didn't care about drinking saliva and eating, and they were already hungry and thirsty at this time. When I ran for my life, I didn't feel so strong, but now when I sat down, I only felt hungry and drumming, uncomfortable to death, and my throat was thirsty and smoking.

After the three of them sat down, they didn't say anything at first, but they ate and drank heavily.

This table of dishes was prepared by the county lord of Sanshui County under the orders of the people, and the county lord and the official who is the magistrate of the county, the relationship between the two has never been very good. In the Ming Dynasty, in a county, the county order is the boss, and the county is second, but if the relationship between the county order and the county is not good, then generally speaking, it should not be the county order that suffers.

This Sanshui County is naturally no exception, the county order Guan Yinzhi is a second-class jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, whether he has a good background, his identity is even more noble, and his heels are also hard, and there are some relations between the DPRK and China. And this county lord was promoted from among the local officials, not to mention Jinshi, not even a lifter. He was born in this class, so he was naturally extremely despised by Guan Yinzhi, and Guan Yinzhi repeatedly suppressed and humiliated him. And this county lord is also very forbearing, knowing that he can't turn his face with Guan Yinzhi, so he always endures it. However, even if you can't bear it, if you are humiliated twice in three days, you must hate each other in your heart.

Today, Guan Yinzhi was severely humiliated by Cao Wenzhao, and when he slapped him in public, the county lord watched not far from the side, witnessing this scene, the county lord's heart was so happy that it was simply indescribable.

And he still has a little strange thoughts: Lord Guan Yinzhi was humiliated and beaten like this, and many people in the county have seen this scene, but I am afraid that the entire Sanshui County will also know about it at this time. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Lord Guan to stay in Sanshui County any longer, so who else can inherit the position of this county order besides him?

There is no better person than him.

His idea was to tie Cao Wenzhao up first, and make a good relationship, and it was best to offer slander in front of Cao Wenzhao, so that Cao Wenzhao could quickly get rid of it. And now, but it is the time when the thieves are raging and fighting, a county cannot be without a governor for a day, if that situation occurs, he can logically go to the position of the county commander. Yes, this county lord is very stammering with Cao Wenzhao. Of course, part of the reason is that they were frightened by Cao Wenzhao, for fear that one accidentally angered Cao Wenzhao and ended up like that Guan Daren.

Of course, it is more likely that the end will be much worse than that of Lord Guan, who is a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen and an official of the imperial court, Cao Wenzhao can humiliate him, and it is okay to slap him, but it is unlikely that he will dare to kill him. But if the county offended him, it wasn't necessarily.

The efforts of this county lord were not in vain, after Cao Wenzhao, Dong Ce, Cao Bianjiao, and the three of them entered the city, the things they needed, clothing, food, bedding, housing, etc., were all prepared by him, and he was very effective in handling errands, and Cao Wenzhao also praised him a few words.

Knowing that the three of them were going to eat at the county government, the county lord naturally did not dare to slack off, and there were more than ten or twenty dishes on the huge table of eight immortals, with meat, vegetables and wine, which was extremely rich. For the current Dong Ce and the three of them, it is enough to have wine and meat, the meat must be full, the wine must be enough, and nothing else matters. Because all they want now is to fill their hungry stomachs.

Dong Ce clamped a huge Sixi ball, bit half of it in one bite, chewed it two or three times in his mouth and swallowed it, but maybe he ate too quickly, or chewed it carefully enough, he choked a little, and quickly poured two large sips of wine, which can be regarded as smoothing the food.

After the food was down, Dong Ce sighed comfortably.

Now this eating appearance is already considered elegant among the three, Cao Wenzhao is holding a large lamb bone with meat at this time, the soup is dripping, and the beard is stained with soup, and he can't care about it. Cao Bianjiao over there is not much stronger, maybe he is very thirsty, or he is hungry for wine, and he doesn't eat much, but he pours a glass of wine into his stomach, and he doesn't know how much he drinks. After a long time, he burped and began to eat slowly.

The three of them ate nonsense, and their stomachs were almost filled, and there was food in their stomachs, so the panic in their hearts lightened a lot, and then they began to speak.

Cao Wenzhao smiled at Dong Ce and said, "Brother Dong, brother, I am more than ten years older than you, so I will call you Brother Dong, how about it?" ”

Dong Ce hurriedly smiled and said: "To have a big brother like you, Mr. Cao, the younger brother can't ask for it, I am really flattered." ”

Cao Wenzhao laughed, pointed at Dong Ce, and pretended to be angry: "Why do you still call me Cao Zongbing." ”

Dong Ce smiled: "Brother Cao, the younger brother knows that he is wrong. ”

He got up and left the table, took a long look, and said in a deep voice: "The younger brother has seen the eldest brother." ”
