Su Ren personally escorted the grain out of the city, and at the agreed time and place, he met the leaders of a group of county soldiers including the captain of the Jian family.
Su Ren chuckled: "Everyone came very early! It seems that everything has been packed. Are you ready to go back as soon as you get the food?"
The Tuxian County Lieutenant smiled slightly: "It's time to go back after being away from the station for a long time. Besides, Su Bingcao has just taken office, and the imperial envoy is about to come to Chengdu. If the angels know about it, it will not be good for Su Bingcao. Su Bingcao sincerely treats
We, we naturally have to think about Bingcao!"
"Hahaha! It's better for Tuxian County Lieutenant to speak nicely!" Su Ren pointed behind him: "In that case, the food is here. As we agreed, it will be a total of 180,000 dan. You can decide how to distribute it!"
Several county lieutenants swarmed up, rushed towards the cart carrying grain, and began to call their men to move the grain and grass. Su Ren stood aside, accompanied by the lieutenant of Jianshi Taoist School and the county lieutenant of Tuxian County. These people had discussed it last night
With the distribution method in place, there is no need to worry about their grain being missing.
"Eh? Why don't you see the Wenjiang Dao captain?" Su Ren pretended to look for it in the crowd and looked for a long time: "It seems that a few county captains are not here either!"
The captain of the Jianshi Dao School and the captain of the Tuxian County looked at each other. The captain of the Tuxian County said: "To be honest with Su Bingcao, the Wenjiang Dao School Captain is ignorant of current affairs and insists on his own way. We and others have tried hard to persuade us, so we can only fight against each other.
We had no choice but to defend ourselves, and we had no weapons. We waited until daybreak to find that the Wenjiang Road school captain and several county captains had been killed in the rebellion, alas!"
"We can't be blamed for this!" said the captain of the Jian clan: "The prefect and the soldier have declared that Meng Ji is a traitor, but the captain of Wenjiang Dao still wants to follow Meng Ji, which must be a rebellion. Such rebellion will be punished by everyone.
Of!"
"Okay! That's well said!" Su Ren cheered loudly: "In order to punish everyone for the rebellious words of Captain Jian's Taoist School, I held a banquet at Cuixianglou, the best restaurant in Chengdu, this afternoon to do my part in quelling the rebellion.
To celebrate your victory, you should also invite the prefect and others to accompany you, and when the court angels come to Chengdu, you will also report it to heaven, so that His Majesty will know of your contribution to suppressing the rebellion!"
The Taoist captain of the Jian family and the Tuxian county captain smiled happily, their eyes were bent, and their faces were groveling, as if they had forgotten that they seemed to have a slightly higher status in front of Su Ren, a soldier.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you will not panic. Those who get the food will naturally be happy. Su Ren did not lie to them, and they will naturally come to the banquet happily.
After Cuixiang Tower had been deserted for a few days, it suddenly became lively that night. Many people came one after another from outside the city. Each school captain had to bring several subordinates, and each county captain also had one or two confidants.
.When you are rewarded like this, you should eat and drink enough, but you should not forget those who are loyal to you.
The old shopkeeper Zhang Luo was busy with his work and divided the officials and soldiers into two groups. The officials were upstairs, while the soldiers could only sit downstairs. Even upstairs there were people of grades 3, 6 and 9. Only the school captain
Only those at the level of county lieutenant are qualified to sit in the largest and most luxurious private rooms. Those military commanders and Sima can only go to the small private rooms that have been prepared to eat and drink. The waiter in the shop ran up and down diligently, using the tray in his hand to place all kinds of food and drinks.
Dishes that you have never seen before are put on the table.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! This is the delicacy prepared by Su Bingcao. Just by looking at it, you can tell it tastes good!" Tuxian County Lieutenant stared at a table of dishes he had never seen before.
Captain Jian's Taoist School chuckled and said: "Don't be so worthless. Tell your brothers to be calm. This place is no better than other places. You are making people laugh when you yell!"
"Yes, yes, we can't cause trouble here! I heard that Cuixiang Tower was opened by Su Bingcao!"
The dishes have been served, and the guests have arrived, but the host has not yet arrived. Looking at a table full of delicious food that cannot be eaten, makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Just when everyone was impatient, Su Ren laughed and walked into the private room: "Sorry, everyone, there are too many things going on in Chengdu recently. I just came from the prefect, so I kept you waiting for a long time! Please take a seat quickly!"
Everyone who had been sitting down quickly stood up. The lieutenant of the Jianshi Taoist School saluted and said: "Su Bingcao is busy with official duties, so it is not a big deal for me to wait for a while! Su Bingcao, please take a seat!"
The group of people waited politely for a long time, and Su Ren took the main seat. The others consciously sat down one by one according to their own rank. The seats were just right, no more, no less, and a large round table was full. There was no long opening speech, Su
Ren picked up the wine glass and drank with everyone, gesturing for everyone to start. Everyone couldn't help it, and no one was polite. They picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the exquisite dishes into their mouths.
The captain of Tuxian County took a bite of bean sprouts, which were crisp and refreshing. He thought about it and praised: "Su Bingcao is really a rare person in the world! He has a good way of doing business and leading troops. I didn't expect that this cook is also outstanding."
, It can be seen that it will not be difficult to enter Chang'an in the future with the talents of the soldiers!"
"Hahaha! The county captains are over-rewarded. They are all low-ranking people. They are not as good as leading the county soldiers to station in one place. You are the pillars of our Han Dynasty!"
"Su Bingcao has been commended. I am a rough guy who only knows how to lead troops." Lieutenant Zhang Shi Dao Xiaoxiao put down his wine glass and glanced at Su Ren: "I just heard that Su Bingcao is preparing to reorganize the soldiers of Shu County. I don't know what he is like.
A way to restructure?”
"Haha! It's okay not to mention it! The big words have come out, but it's a pity that there is no clue!"
The words of Captain Jian's Taoist School aroused everyone's alert. When they heard what Su Ren said, the people who were eating vegetables felt relieved. In their eyes, Su Ren was just a child of sixteen or seventeen, even if he was
What can they do if they lose the soldiers? As long as they have soldiers in their hands and defend their territory, there is nothing Su Ren can do against them.
The Tuxian County Lieutenant laughed: "Su Bingcao is a man who knows how to fight. With hundreds of guards under his command, he can control the Yelang and Qiang lands. How can this little thing trouble Su Bingcao?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's funny to laugh, these things are all due to my good luck. If it weren't for God's blessing, I don't know where I would have died by now! We still need to rely on you to organize the troops. I hope you will cooperate more when the time comes.
!”
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Captain Jian's Taoist School flushed with pride after drinking. He patted his chest and shouted: "I promise here that as long as the soldiers give orders where they need it, I will do my best.
Help!"
"Oh?" Su Ren smiled intriguingly: "Are you serious about this?"
"really!"
"In this case, I really have something I hope you can help me with!"
Everyone laughed. The Tu County magistrate laughed and said: "They all say that Su Bingcao is a businessman, but his method of doing business is really different, hahaha..."
Everyone laughed together.
Su Ren did not laugh, picked up the wine glass and stood up: "The county soldiers are the imperial court's control of the counties and the barrier to protect our country. Logically speaking, only the prefect has the right to mobilize them, but for your own selfish purposes, you privately mobilized the county soldiers to besiege.
Chengdu almost allowed Meng Ji's rebellion to succeed. This is a misfortune for our Han people and is not tolerated by imperial law."
"The prefect is kind and unwilling to pursue this matter, but as the new military commander, I, Su Ren, have the responsibility to manage the soldiers of Shu County. Under my eyes, I will never allow such a thing to happen, so I plan to reorganize the soldiers of the county.
For this reason, I hope to borrow your heads for use!"
The lively atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone in the private room stared at Su Ren with wide eyes, as if they did not understand what Su Ren said. Lieutenant Jian's Taoist School had already sobered up, and looked at Su Ren with blood-red eyes.
Ren: "Su Bingcao, what do you want to borrow?"
"Haha, let me borrow your heads for use!"
"Bang!" The Tuxian County Lieutenant threw the wine glass in his hand heavily to the ground. The fine celadon wine glass was smashed to pieces: "Su, you want to kill us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of neatly dressed caravan guards with weapons in their hands broke into the private room. Looking at the large group of fierce guards, anyone who didn't understand was a fool. There were two guys who wanted to rush out and call for help.
When they reached the door, they were chopped down to the ground by Huang Shisan and Huo Jin.
The bright red blood stained the fine carpet, and the two county lieutenants, who were not dead yet, lay on the ground and groaned loudly. There was a sound of fighting downstairs, and the flying saucer was dropped, creating a smoky atmosphere. Gou Tianming shouted loudly,
Command the guards to arrest all the soldiers and confidants brought by the school captains and county captains, and kill anyone who dares to resist.
"Su Ren, what do you want to do?" The captain of the Jian's Taoist School stood up in a loud voice, almost falling down because he was drunk.
Su Ren ignored him and frowned at the two guys lying on the ground: "I've told you two, what I hate the most is killing people. Do you know how much this fine carpet is worth? From you two
The profit will be deducted!"
Huo Jin and Huang Shisan did not dare to take action because of Su Ren's blame. The two of them protected Su Ren behind them with their swords. They looked coldly at the guards surrounding the school lieutenants and county lieutenants and shouted: "Still stunned.
What are you doing? The action has already been taken downstairs, how long do you have to wait? Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
The guards rushed forward. Some people wanted to resist, but were immediately put down by the guards. Most of the people who knew the situation hurriedly squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
The Taoist captain of the Jian family drew out his sword and kicked the table over. The dishes on it were scattered all over the floor: "I've been deceived by a boy like you. Even if I die, I can't make it easy for you!"
There was no vicious fight. It was calculated mentally but not intentionally, and there was a huge advantage in numbers. The old shopkeeper also did some tricks in the wine, and the pests among the county soldiers showed little resistance. In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle was declared over. All the resisters were killed.
Eighteen people, the rest all surrendered.
Su Ren leaned on the railing and looked downstairs. It was also a mess. He sighed, shook his head and walked down. He said to the old shopkeeper beside him: "Today's loss is considered Leng Jun. Gou Tianming, Huang Shisan, Xiao Jinzi
Above the four of them, what happened to the perfectly good Cuixiang Tower?" (To be continued)
