Chapter 132 The Banquet and the Running Dogs 3
"Master."
"Master."
In this East Factory, anyone who sees Xu Ruyi must always kneel down and salute. This is the rule.Although somewhat troublesome, it is also inevitable.Compared with those who knelt and saluted, Xu Ruyi's response was much simpler, just ignore it.The superior does not need to make any response to the etiquette of the subordinates.
When the sun had not completely sunk and there was still a trace of crimson in the sky, Dongchang finally became a little lively.There were no lanterns and festoons, but countless banquets were set up back and forth.Not to mention, the East Factory built by Lord Hongwu is really not small. Except for the 2000 guards in the prison who have to work in shifts, the other [-] or so guards gather together, and it doesn't look crowded at all.
Regarding the factory owner's order to hold a banquet, although the fans didn't know why, they just followed it honestly.In this era of lack of entertainment, the joy of eating meat and drinking alcohol may be one of the few enjoyments of the Dongchang fans.
Today's banquet has a name, it is called the Human Flesh Banquet.Regarding this name, there have been many guesses from the top and bottom of Dongchang, among which the most reliable one is probably the one who punished the evil department Baihu Li with big heads. Chopped, heads rolled down, Duke Du probably wanted to boost morale, so he held this banquet, and rewarded us by the way."
This statement is actually a bit far-fetched, but they can't think of any other explanation. It can't be that they really want to eat human flesh, right?
In the hall, there was only a specially made large table. Sixteen Thousand Households, Heimao, and Yunzheng had already been seated, waiting for Xu Ruyi's arrival.Seeing Xu Ruyi push the door open at this moment, everyone stood up one after another and said in unison: "Master."
"Sit down." Xu Ruyi waved her hand and came to the upper seat to sit down.
Nodding to Xu Ruyi in a subtle way, Black Cat clapped his hands. After three crisp sounds, as if it were flowing smoothly, plates of delicacies and wines were placed in front of everyone.
Seeing that the dishes had been served, Xu Ruyi picked up the wine cup in front of him: "Today's banquet is, firstly, to reward everyone. We have been working really hard recently. Secondly, it is also for our commander." He extended his hand to signal. After looking at Yunzheng, he continued: "We eunuchs are all poor people. Few of us are willing to receive this knife. There will always be some difficulties of one kind or another. Life was not easy in the past and life was difficult. Then Naturally, everything has come to an end. But now that our life is better, it is natural to repay injustice and revenge. Human flesh banquet, are everyone guessing why our family gave today's banquet such a name? " Xu Ruyi smiled slightly and pointed the chopsticks in her hand at the plate in front of her: "The group of people arrested today are the sworn enemies of our commander. Now, the two masterminds are here.
This plate of fat sausages is not ordinary fat sausages, but father and son fat sausages.Come on, everyone, let's eat it while it's hot. "Xu Ruyi was talking, and put a mouthful into her mouth: "Well, the taste is not bad. "
Yun Zheng didn't talk too much, just picked up the chopsticks and ate, and the sixteen thousand households and the black cat also took advantage of the situation to eat.
Yun Zheng looked around suspiciously, but didn't ask any questions.
At this moment, someone outside the door reported loudly: "Master, there is a big man named Ji Gang asking to see him, saying that he was invited by you to come to the banquet."
"Bring him in in two quarters of an hour."
"Yes."
Xu Ruyi smiled at the crowd and said, "I'm going to meet this man in a while, but he is a wonderful person. If you are willing, you can learn a lot from him. But when he comes, some things will be hard to say." Speaking of this, Xu Ruyi suddenly said loudly: "Bring it in."
Outside the door, two fans walked towards the hall, one behind the other, carrying a huge box.
"Among you, except for the black cat, all of you have practiced evil swordsmanship. This set of swordsmanship is out of the Sunflower Book. Although the power is not small and the progress is extremely fast, after all, the future is limited. If you don't have the sunflower book. Dao, meeting real masters in the future is still not enough to see. Moreover, martial arts, personal conditions are different, some people like swordsmanship, some people like to practice knives, there are so many, you still have to choose and choose yourself."
Xu Ruyi stretched out her hand to signal the two fans to put down the box, and waved her soft palm to knock the top of the box away.
Everyone looked up and saw that there were books in blue covers neatly stacked in the box, some thick and some thin, it seemed that there should be about two or three hundred books.
"Nianhuazhi, Ruyi Sutra, Great Vajra Heart Sutra, Heart, Mind and Qi Hunyuan Method, Liangyi Swordsmanship, Sunset Saber Technique, Xiantian Ziqigong. The Kung Fu of the three religions and seven schools may not be handed down secretly by some town schools, but there is nothing left. For the rest, our family picked some, and even brought some interesting kung fu from Jianghu, and our family brought them for you, all of which are in the box.
There is a reward department in our East Factory, and they say that they will be rewarded for their merits, but firstly, there is not even a full-time director, and Yun Zheng has always been in charge, and secondly, there is nothing to reward.Therefore, this Shangshan Division actually needs to have its own name.But it will be different in the future, if you have enough credit, you can choose a kung fu that you are interested in, let's start with the few of you, the specific rules and the like, you can discuss and decide on your own. "
"Thank you Lord Governor for your grace!" Everyone stood up and bowed, and then happily came to the box to pick it up. Only Black Cat and Yun Zheng did not move, still eating the food slowly on the table.
Xu Ruyi looked at Yun Zheng, and said strangely: "Yun Zheng, the black cat has its own inheritance, so our family understands not to pick a kung fu, but why don't you choose a kung fu to practice? But you don't like it?"
"Master." Yun Zheng put down his chopsticks, and said respectfully, "Yun Zheng hasn't mastered the cold ice energy you gave Yun Zheng, so..."
"Okay, okay." Xu Ruyi nodded appreciatively: "In martial arts, you still have to do what you can. It's better to be broad than to be specialized. It's great if you can understand this truth. But for so long, You have always been loyal to our family, and our family can’t treat you badly.” After thinking for a moment, Xu Ruyi reached out and pulled out the long sword at his waist: “Dugu Sword, it’s been a while with our family, it’s not bad, you take it Use it."
"Master... this, isn't it appropriate." Yun Zheng showed gratitude, but he didn't reach out to take it.Does he know that this sword has been with Xu Ruyi for a long time, except when entering the palace, he never leaves it on weekdays.
"Just take it if I tell you to. We have plenty of weapons in our family." He stretched out his hand and handed the sword to Yun Zheng's hand. Xu Ruyi closed her eyes for a moment, then opened her eyes again, and suddenly she held another weapon in her empty hand. Strange sword.
The body of the sword is black without any luster, just like a piece of black wood. Unlike ordinary swords, this sword has neither a sharp point nor a blade edge. It has a round head and a blunt edge. It is compelling, and if you take a closer look, you can faintly see the son of the "gentleman" on the sword grid, carved in ancient seal script.
"The Gentleman's Sword." Xu Ruyi chuckled lightly and pressed his left hand gently on the table. A wine glass rose up. With a flash of black sword light, the wine glass split into two. Then it fell back down. It was still standing on the table.
The [-] thousands of households who focused on selecting martial arts secret books did not see the miraculous scene, but Yun Zheng and Hei Mao saw it for real, and they were all stunned, unable to recall it for a long time.
Putting the long sword into its sheath, Xu Ruyi looked at everyone with some dissatisfaction: "Okay, just pick two books and that's enough. There will be guests coming soon. You will embarrass our family by looking like you have never seen the world."
The sixteen thousands of households had no choice but to reluctantly return to their seats and sit down again.
With little effort, Ji Gang walked in from the outside, carrying the dragon stick behind him. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he bowed his head and said: "Ji Gang, the little man, please see the governor, all the lords of the East Factory, all the lords. Enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as heaven."
Ji Gang's voice was loud and bold, and he was dressed like a hero, which immediately won everyone's favor.
"Get up." Xu Ruyi waved her hand, pointed to an empty seat next to the black cat and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Du Lord, for your grace!" After kowtowing, Ji Gang stepped to the empty seat and sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took a big mouthful of fried shredded pork, and put it in his mouth.
This kind of behavior seems a little unruly, but on him, it seems very sincere and honest.Even so, everyone still looked at Ji Gang with strange expressions, which made him a little confused.
"Is it delicious?" Xu Ruyi said with a smile: "The human meat feast that our family told you earlier was not just a joke. The dishes on the table in front of you are all made of parts from the Zhang family and his son. , the craftsmanship is not bad, seeing how you are devouring it, you seem to like it too?"
Ji Gang's movements suddenly froze, but he regained his composure in the blink of an eye. While continuing to eat in the bowl, he muttered: "Ji Gang is a poor boy. He has never had enough food since he was a child. Lord Governor Whatever you give, the villain will eat whatever you want, no matter what." Speaking of this, the action of grilling the rice seems to be a little faster.
"How about it, Miaoren? If any of you are as capable as him, then our family can rest assured about Dongchang." Xu Ruyi smiled at everyone.
"Supervisor! Villain..." Ji Gang's complexion changed, and he wanted to explain out loud in a panic, but Xu Ruyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you want to change what our family believes, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky. But don't be afraid, it's not a bad thing to have a lot of thoughts, our family just praised you."
The smile on her face faded, and Xu Ruyi looked at Ji Gang seriously: "You came to my East Factory to seek a future, and our family sees that you are also a character, so we are willing to give you this opportunity."
"Thank you, Governor!" Ji Gang was overjoyed and wanted to stand up and bow down, but Xu Ruyi said again: "Don't worry, our family has not finished talking. Our family is willing to give you a chance, but your chance But it is not in our East Factory.
In the East Factory, there are up to me, the admiral eunuch, down to [-] households, and in the middle are divided into four divisions, command envoys, town eunuchs, and major stalls. Although there are not yet all the people, they must be eunuchs to take charge yes, you. . .willing? "
"Master, villain..." Ji Gang showed embarrassment, gritted his teeth, and his expression was very conflicted.
"That's why our family said that you are not from my East Factory." Xu Ruyi took a drink from the wine cup, wiped her mouth, and said again: "If you want, our family can send you to Jinyiwei After going there, even if you can’t directly become a thousand households or a hundred households, there is no problem, Jiang Huan still wants to give our family this bit of face.”
"Thank you Lord Du for cultivating."
Xu Ruyi shook her head, "Cultivation? Don't worry, we still have two things for you to do."
"Please give me the governor's orders. The villain will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Go through fire and water?" Xu Ruyi thought for a while: "It's almost the same. First, the emperor needs Fu Youde to die, an honorable death, and you... know how to do it?"
"This..." Ji Gang didn't have an idea for a while, and he didn't quite understand what Xu Ruyi meant.
"There are no outsiders here. It doesn't matter if our family can say a few more words with you. Liang Guogong Lanyu has turned against him. Let him be the introduction. Jinyiwei and Dongchang have arrested many people these days, but these people's identities and statuses are different. It is under the blue jade, or the captain of the army, or just some captains of thousands of households. When it is announced that the world will be punished in the execution ground, if it is said that they rebelled with Duke Liang, people in the world will believe it. But Ying Guogong and Song Guogong are different. No one will believe that they follow Liang Guogong to rebel, so the emperor needs an excuse to kill them. If Fu Youde dies, the meaning of the matter will change. One Fu Youde, plus one Sapphire , Dongchang and Jinyiwei can take advantage of the opportunity to say that those nobles are connected with each other, rather than who leads whom, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, it's not that urgent. You still have more than a month to do it, so do it as soon as possible." Xu Ruyi brushed her hair with her hand, and said, "The second thing... just It's much simpler, just let our family see your kung fu."
"Master Governor!" Upon hearing this, Ji Gang stretched out his hand to untie his Panlong stick from behind his back, twisted his wrist, danced a stick flower, and said, "Ji Gang has met strange people since he was a child, and he has learned two ways of sticks. method, all the way to the palm, and there are few opponents immediately. This stick..."
"Okay, kung fu is the ability to eat, not something to talk about. Otherwise, our family can go to the street and find a storyteller, who can speak better than you." While talking, Xu Ruyi left With a slight movement of the ear, a sneer appeared at the corner of the mouth: "My friend, it's cold outside and warm inside, why don't you come down and have a party?"
With a shake of his hand, the two chopsticks in his hand shot out.
Only two muffled sounds were heard, and two holes were punched in the roof.
"Hmph." With a cold snort, a masked man in black suddenly stepped through the roof and fell from the sky above his head.
"Clatter!" The sound of bricks and tiles falling alarmed the surrounding fans.
"Who!"
"What kind of thieves dare to come to Dongchang to run wild!"
"court death!"
In a blink of an eye, the banquet hall was surrounded by three layers of fans who came from all over the place.
Playing with the wine cup in her hand, Xu Ruyi looked at the man in black not far in front of her: "Ji Gang."
"The little guy is here."
"Go and show your skills."
"Yes."
