The ground is dark red, with a strong smell of blood. There are a large number of dog skins hanging on the beams. Under the dog skins is a wooden pillar, with a giant bone-cutting knife one meter long and one foot wide, dripping with oil.
"Lu Wan! Fan Hui! Come out and greet Mr. Nai!"
The door was open, and Liu Ji started shouting when he was only ten meters away from the door. The smell of blood that hit his face did not make him feel any discomfort at all. He had long been used to it.
As soon as he finished speaking, and before anyone responded, someone else rushed into the house and slammed the door.
After a while, three people sat at the long table covered with grease.
Among them was a big man with a strong build, full of murderous aura, rough face, messy hair, and his clothes were covered with dried black blood and bright red blood that had not dried up. He looked very scary.
He held a clean, bright and sharp boning knife, and while picking the bones out of the dog meat Liu Bang brought, he said:
"Fan Hui is a dog-slaughterer. If my brother wants to eat dog meat, he can just tell me. There is no need to trick him into eating or drinking. Those people talk nonsense all the time. In Pei County, my brother's reputation is bad."
"Why should I eat your meat and wine for free? If I eat all your dogs, what meat will you sell and what will you do for a living?"
Liu Ji poured himself a drink, smashed his mouth, shook his head, and said proudly:
"Is Nai Gong Li very powerful? I have never met that person, but just by relying on this mouth, he can treat Ji to eat twenty kilograms of dog meat. You can't find another person like Nai Gong in Manpei County! Hahaha!"
"Twenty pounds! Do you no longer want your butt, or are you not going home today? Send it back quickly!"
Lu Wan, who had been sitting calmly waiting to eat the dog meat, suddenly stood up, took the dog meat and was about to leave.
Liu Ji reached out and grabbed Lu Wan's arm and said with a smile:
"When the meat reaches Nai Gong's mouth, there is no reason to spit it out. If you get beaten, Nai Gong will be beaten too. Liu Ang won't beat you, so you can just eat it with peace of mind."
Lu Wan looked anxious. She inserted the tachyon into the bottom of the meat and lifted it up. When she saw that the bottom was indeed meat and not padded with millet, she immediately became even more panicked.
Tiaojiao:
"Liu Ji! You have caused a big trouble! Normally, you only cheat three to five kilograms of meat, and the old lady just scolds you. But today you cheated of twenty kilograms of meat, and the old lady will definitely beat you with a stick.
You can't get off the ground! The person you deceived is also extremely stupid! Twenty pounds of meat is something ordinary people can't eat in a year. How could such an expensive thing be bought to you so easily?"
"You're so panicked!"
Fan Hui's eyes widened, he tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I can afford twenty pounds of dog meat! Eat it!"
Liu Ji shows his thumbs up.
"Brother Fan Hui is still happy.
"Lu Wan, you are afraid of the east and the west. You are not a good man, and you are not worthy of being friends with the two of us. If you can eat, eat, and if you can't, get out."
Lu Wan was furious.
He was thinking about Liu Ji, and it didn't matter that Liu Ji didn't appreciate it, but he still openly ridiculed him.
"Just eat! I'm so scared! It's not Wan who will lose everything!"
Picking up the wine jar, Gudong Gudong drank a few sips of wine, wiped the wine stains on his mouth, grabbed a piece of Fan Hui's unboned dog meat, and started to chew it.
"That's right, hahaha! Do it!"
Liu Ji laughed.
Twenty pounds of dog meat and five pounds of fine wine were enough for an adult man to spend for a year, but he ignored them and brought them to eat with his brothers.
"The people who invited me to drink and eat meat are not stupid. I have been keeping an eye on these two people for several days."
Fan Hui and Lu Wan raised their heads and listened carefully. They were very interested in the person who could buy twenty kilograms of dog meat and five kilograms of fine wine in one go.
"You two eat, and Nai Gong talks while you eat."
Liu Bang saw the two of them continuing to take a sip of wine and a bite of meat, and said with a satisfied smile:
"Six days ago, these two people came to Peixian County and walked back and forth on the street. From Widow Cao's house in the east of the county to the cloth shop in the west of the county. From the blacksmith shop in the south of the county to the cloth shop in the north of the county.
County government.
The two of them visited Peixian County all over. They spent generously, never asked the price of food, and never bargained for anything they bought."
Fan Hui swallowed the meat in his mouth and frowned:
"These two people are so rich, why didn't Wang Mazi say that Wang Mazi could just watch these two outsiders swaggering through the market and not go to Shunjin?"
Wang Mazi is a thief in Peixian County. He is very famous in the local area and has frequent contacts with Fan Hui.
Liu Jimeng slapped his thigh and became energetic.
"Good question! That's the point!"
He leaned towards the long table and lowered his voice.
"How can I say he is smart! These two people don't show off their wealth. They buy everything with copper coins and never take out gold! Not to mention Wang Mazi, who only has gold in his eyes. If I hadn't been following him, I would have seen this one by chance.
Both times, I couldn't tell that this was a rich person."
Lu Wan Su Rong.
"These two are so smart, how could they be deceived by you?"
Liu Ji coughed lightly.
"These two people were eating at Zhang's house next to the South City Gate. The carriage was parked on the side of the road. I guessed they were walking. Seeing that they were about to leave Peixian County, I went up to give their names, and they were very excited.
It’s hard to refuse such hospitality if you want to invite someone to drink wine and eat meat!
"Looking closely, I discovered that one of the old men had four fleshy moles on his forehead. This is the sign of ghosts. You will not understand the strangeness of this phenomenon. Let me tell you something, the saint Guiguzi has
These four moles!"
Lu Wan looked shocked.
Liu Ji was very satisfied.
Fan Hui remained indifferent and concentrated on eating meat.
He had never heard of Guiguzi, and there were no Guiguzi in Pei County.
Liu Ji was very dissatisfied and tried his best to educate Fan Hui about the power of Guiguzi.
"Guiguzi has an apprentice named Su Qinhe who traps Hangu and prevents the Qin State from taking a step east. There is also an apprentice named Zhang Yi who joins the Qi State and envoys the Qin State to kill everyone..."
Liu Ji took the trouble until Fan Hui showed a look of shock before he stopped talking. He took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and pretended to be indifferent:
"This old man who has the same ghost-like appearance as Gui Guzi insists on accepting me as his disciple. I said that I have two brothers, one named Lu Wan and one named Fan Hui. If you want to accept me, you can accept the three of us.
"He didn't want to, he just wanted to take me as one. I immediately got angry and refused on the spot. How could I abandon my two brothers? This is impossible!"

The bright moonlight shone on Liu Ji's buttocks, making them look silver and white.
"I'll let you hang out with Lu Wan and Fan Hui! I'll let you deceive others into eating and drinking! I'll let you do nothing but idle away your business!"
In the courtyard, Liu Ji's father, Liu Ang, was over fifty, but he was strong and spoke clearly and powerfully.
He yelled and hit Liu Ji with a cane. The cane hit Liu Ji's buttocks hard, and the blows made Liu Ji's buttocks bleed.
Liu Ji lay on the stone roller with his butt stuck out, crying out in pain, his voice was so pitiful that it really saddened those who heard it and shed tears when they saw it.
Guiguzi, who saw this person and heard his voice, chuckled.
[You have such a bad temperament, but you have the appearance of an emperor. There is no way for blessings and misfortunes, only people bring it to themselves. This is the first time that Zen has been found by others, uninvited. Interesting, Chidi, you surprised Zen. Zen suddenly wanted to know
, how did you defeat Chongdongzi without your Majesty.]
"Liu Ang, you beat me to death! You have lost a son! You have so much money, I will help you make friends with it, I am not much better than Liu Xi!"
Winter in Peixian County is also very cold.
Liu Ji's butt was exposed, but it felt hot and he couldn't feel any coolness at all. The blood hadn't solidified yet, and it was connected with the next stroke of the stick.
Liu angrily swung the log stick and gritted his teeth again.
"Shuzi! You have no respect for your elders! If you are half as strong as the second child, you will not be thirty years old and still have no business, and you still need me to support you!"
With his hands and feet not tied, Liu Ji kept shouting in pain on the stone roller but never ran away, raising his head and shouting.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!
"Liu Ang, if you humiliate me like this today, don't regret it when I take off!"
…………
Han Di, Yangcheng.
The county magistrate here is Da Dao Cui Guang. Cui Guang, who pursues rule by doing nothing, issued particularly relaxed decrees in Yangcheng, so relaxed that even the people of Yangcheng dare not think of it.
For example, in previous years, most of the grain produced during a year's work had to be handed over, and the remaining grain could only barely satisfy the hunger, but this year, taxes are exempted.
Most people are happy, but some people are not happy.
Chen Sheng is one of those unhappy people.
The Chen family was originally a noble from Yangcheng and a small aristocratic family.
As a descendant of the Chen family, although Chen Sheng is not a direct descendant, but only a collateral descendant, he has never worried about life since he was a child. He thought that he would live such a carefree life. He did not think about returning to Korea.
It has nothing to do with him.
With or without Korea, his life has not changed much. Even the direct descendants of the Chen family have never thought about returning to Korea. How could he, a collateral descendant, have such great ambitions.
However, all this was shattered after the Lu Chamber of Commerce made crazy purchases of iron and the price of food rose wildly.
In the process of the collapse of this aristocratic family, Chen Sheng actually resisted.
The Zhang family's instructions to stabilize grain prices indicate that once grain prices collapse, everyone will be ruined.
Chen Sheng immediately realized that what the Zhang family said was right.
As a descendant of the collateral line, he could not get so much money, so he was able to step out of the circle, unlike the direct lineage of the Chen family who was carried away by the huge benefits.
He saw the crisis after this incident, and went to argue with the head of the Chen family, trying to get the Chen family to follow the Zhang family's instructions - and then he was kicked back.
The countless money and cheap labor made the Chen family red-eyed and all the aristocratic families red-eyed.
When Chen Sheng saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately prepared to escape, but what he didn't expect was that the snow mountain collapsed too fast.
In less than a month, an unprecedented peasant uprising swept the entire territory of Korea. At this time, Chen Sheng had not left yet and was still in Yangcheng City.
The Chen family was destroyed, destroyed by countless farmers with hoes, and the main family was wiped out.
Fortunately, Chen Sheng, a collateral member, did not die, but as a member of the Chen family, he was arrested and imprisoned.
At first, life in prison was worse than death for him, a nobleman.
But people's endurance is amazing. Within a month, he, who was once a nobleman, got used to prison life and no longer thought about hitting his head against the wall and dying.
He even considered how to atone for his sins. He couldn't spend the rest of his life here, right?
Blessings are where misfortunes lie, misfortunes are where blessings rely on.
After two months of suffering, Chen Sheng was lucky again.
Da Dao Cui Guang became the magistrate of Yangcheng County, killed a group of evil people, and then granted amnesty to them.
Chen Sheng, who was determined to escape when the food supply was growing rapidly and did not do any evil deeds, was naturally not considered a great evil, and he was also released.
Cui Guang not only released them, but also provided them with food and accommodation. When spring comes next year, they will have to work for the government and pay back the money they spent during the winter.
There are no crops left in the fields, and the harsh winter has killed all life.
Chen Sheng wrapped his clothes tightly and stood on the land he was going to farm in March, his breath turning into white mist.
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind.
"The first person to say this should really die!"
He was trembling and cursing.
When he was a nobleman, he wore leather jackets instead of linen clothes in winter. He had never been cold at that time.
