Chapter 314: Dong Jisheng with Explosive Character
Dong Jisheng feels very depressed recently. Ever since he joined the job in the capital, he has been very unaccustomed to it. Although his position was not high when he was in Song County, he still had to face various reasonable or unreasonable tasks assigned by his superiors. In addition,
He felt very stressed about the performance he should perform.
But it is much more comfortable than being an official in the capital. At least as the head of a county, he can have the final say on most things in Song County himself.
But in the capital, officials, big and small, each have their own backgrounds, and their relationships are complicated. They must always be cautious and deal with them carefully, lest they accidentally offend someone without realizing it.
Although his current boss has just arrived in Beijing and does not have his own team yet, which gives Dong Jisheng the opportunity to curry favor with the Qi family, he feels that it is still not enough.
His many years of service as an official told him that it was better to find more backers and get closer to the relationships he could build.
Therefore, when his wife Liu proposed to invite Lin Zhu over on the occasion of her youngest daughter Dong Yuyao's birthday, she wanted to get to know the Wang family through her, and it would be best if her youngest daughter could establish friendship with Miss Wang's family.
Of course Dong Jisheng agreed to this proposal, but he was also worried about the quarrel with Lin Zhu in Song County. He was afraid that she would hold a grudge and not attend the banquet. However, then he thought about how his status in the capital was very different now.
After such a long time, she has gotten to know a lot of officials, big and small, and with her connections in the main courtyard, I think she will give him this face.
So he asked Mrs. Liu to send an invitation to Lin Zhu.
Unexpectedly, although Lin Zhu sent congratulatory gifts, he refused to attend. This made Dong Jisheng very angry. In addition, when they invited the wife of the Qi family, Miss Qi had asked about Lin Zhu. And Mrs. Liu also vowed to do so.
Lin Zhu promised that Lin Zhu would also attend the banquet that day. Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi then agreed to the invitation.
It is conceivable that if Lin Zhu does not come, it will have serious consequences for the Dong family. This will definitely make the Qi family unhappy and think that they have been deceived. Master Qi will also dislike Dong Jisheng because of this. Then he
The future will be dark.
That's why Dong Jisheng got very angry in the main courtyard and ordered Dong Yuzhen to call Lin Zhu.
The next day, Dong Jisheng, who felt worse and worse the more he thought about it, went to Zuixianlou, the most popular restaurant in the capital.
On normal days, Dong Jisheng would not come here. Although the food here is very good, with his salary, once or twice is enough, but more times would be unbearable.
Although he had saved a lot of money to go to Song County, he had spent a lot of money to go to the capital. In addition, he had to be cautious when he first entered the capital as an official, so he kept a low profile.
However, Dong Jisheng went out in casual clothes. There were very few people who knew him, so he came to Zuixianlou without any scruples and ordered the most famous Zhuji sake here.
Dong Jisheng couldn't help but feel a little pain in his body as he sipped the wine in the glass. Just a bottle of wine cost fifty taels of silver. This was too dark.
"Good wine." Although Dong Jisheng complained in his heart, he couldn't resist the delicious taste of the wine. He drank three glasses in a row before eating some food.
As we all know, Zuixianlou is the property of Prince Qi, so there are often some ingredients that are not commonly seen here. For example, special white rice.
The food made from special white rice in Zuixianlou is limited in supply. Even so, the supply is still in short supply. But because of Prince Qi, no one caused trouble here.
Dong Jisheng was also lucky enough to eat rice steamed from special white rice.
The grains are crystal clear, and it feels a little chewy after eating, leaving a fragrant fragrance on the teeth and cheeks. Dong Jisheng couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart. He was worthy of Prince Qi for being able to get such a hard-to-get specialty white rice.
As he was eating, Dong Jisheng felt something was wrong. He felt as if he had eaten this kind of rice before. However, it had been a long time and he couldn't remember where he ate it.
He kept this feeling deep in his heart and planned to think about it carefully when he went back.
Dong Jisheng felt that he had eaten a little too much and his stomach felt very full. Taking a carriage back was obviously not a good idea, so he decided to walk around casually and let the coachman follow behind.
Although the weather was still very cold, the afternoon sun shone warmly on people, and Dong Jisheng felt comfortable walking on the street.
"Sure enough, it is at the feet of the emperor, and it is not comparable to a rural place like Song County." Dong Jisheng sighed at the bustling bustle of the capital.
With a "boom", someone suddenly jumped out from the side and bumped into Dong Jisheng.
"Ouch." Dong Jisheng didn't pay attention and was knocked to the ground.
He looked up and saw a boy of four or five years old suddenly sitting in his arms. His round eyes were wide open, staring at him.
Dong Jisheng was very angry. He was about to reprimand him, but he found that the clothes on the child seemed unusual. Not only were the fabrics very precious, but the accessories he was wearing were not something that ordinary people could afford.
Dong Jisheng helped him up and stood up. At this time, the coachman saw that his master had fallen and came over. He found that the culprit who made Dong Jisheng lose his temper was a four or five-year-old child, so he wanted to teach him a lesson. Just as he was about to speak, Dong Jisheng was
blocked.
"Kid, which family do you come from?" Dong Jisheng saw that he didn't cry even though he fell down, but he had a good impression of him.
"Hey, Master, you make it easy for the slaves to find you." Before the child could answer, two men in coarse cloth suddenly came from behind. As they spoke, they wanted to hold the child's arm.
Dong Jisheng saw that although the two of them called themselves slaves, they did not have the humility of the slaves around them. Instead, they looked arrogant. He suddenly felt the clothes on his body tightened, and when he looked down, he saw that the children were holding on to his clothes tightly.
"Which family do you belong to?" Dong Jisheng had been an official for many years and was once the head of a county. There was a natural momentum in his words.
"Who are you?" One of the men in green clothes saw that he couldn't pull the child. He stared and asked unkindly. "Why are you holding on to my young master? You must have some shameful intentions."
"
"Young master, please go back with the kids quickly, otherwise I will be angry because you sneaked out again." The other person looked like he was consoling with good intentions, but his voice was louder, and what he said also made people around him understand.
Those who are more curious about them understand the reason.
"Do you know them?" Dong Jisheng felt more and more suspicious about the two of them, and the child didn't act like he knew them.
Seeing that Dong Jisheng was still asking questions, the two men were impatient and wanted to step forward and take the child away by force.
When the coachman saw that they were about to take action, he stood between the three of them.
"Get out of the way." The man in green grabbed the coachman's arm and pushed him aside.
When Dong Jisheng saw the two men approaching him fiercely, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he knew that the two men did not actually know the child. It was obvious that they had other purposes.
"What do you want to do by preventing the young master from following us? Return the young master to us quickly." The two men shouted loudly and bullied Dong Jisheng.
Dong Jisheng was just a weak scholar and could not stand up to two strong middle-aged men. Although the coachman could stop one man, he was obviously powerless against the other.
The man in green who was not stopped suddenly took action and punched Dong Jisheng in the abdomen.
In the past, it would have been impossible for Dong Jisheng to do such a brave thing, but today he drank some wine, and his previous depression suddenly turned into anger. He seemed to want to use this man in Tsing Yi as a punching bag to express himself.
Yesterday's unhappiness.
He protected the child behind him and quickly blocked the fist of the man in green with his hand.
However, his luck was obviously not very good, and he was still punched in the stomach by the man in green.
"Oh." His stomach hurt, and Dong Jisheng almost vomited out all the food he had just eaten. But it also made him understand more clearly that the two of them were not good people, and this child was not the young master they talked about.
What they did was obviously to kidnap this child. Human trafficker?! Dong Jisheng suddenly thought of this.
Human traffickers were an indelible shadow in Dong Jisheng's official history. He stayed in Song County for six years, also because a group of human traffickers once brought trouble to the countryside under his jurisdiction, and most importantly, they actually killed a
The children of a wealthy family were also kidnapped, and this family happened to have an old relationship with his superior, the prefect.
The child was rescued through the help of the prefect, but it also caused damage to Dong Jisheng's career. The prefect believed that he was ineffective in governance, so he stayed in Song County and failed to get promoted.
So when he realized that the person in front of him was a human trafficker, his mind became hot and he punched the man in Tsing Yi in the face.
The man in green didn't expect Dong Jisheng to fight back, but his years of fighting experience allowed him to quickly avoid Dong Jisheng's fists, and the two of them really started fighting.
Dong Jisheng was basically suppressed and beaten by him. He really wanted to shout out that he was an official, but he was punched in the face by the man in Tsing Yi.
I almost got caught by Dong Jisheng.
People around them didn't understand why the four people started fighting, and they didn't dare to step forward to help.
Dong Jisheng felt that he was about to die. It was too painful. Every punch that the man in Tsing Yi gave him made him feel like he was in unbearable pain. The drunkenness had passed, and the pain in his body became more and more obvious. His physical strength also decreased.
Gradually I became a little tired.
But seeing the child behind him, he felt that he couldn't let the traffickers succeed like this.
"Master!" Just when Dong Jisheng felt that he could not hold on any longer, a high-pitched scream came over.
Dong Jisheng and the other four were quickly surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.
The two men in green clothes saw something was wrong and wanted to run away, but were quickly caught.
At the same time, someone also arrested Dong Jisheng and his coachman.
"Take away." Someone who was obviously the leader said roughly.
"Wait a minute," Dong Jisheng struggled to free himself from the hands of the person who grabbed him, but his strength was really small. "I am Dong Jisheng, the official of the Qing Dynasty. Who are you?" (To be continued. If you like this
