Chapter 24 The Age of Man-eating

[24] The era of cannibal

that night.

Shijia Hotel.

The red light is hanging high.

The table is full of delicacies.

Seeing that Sun Maowen, defending Wei Guofu and inspecting Liu Ziming came together.

Yao Fan first stood up with his glass and said bluntly, "Yao's previous goods have been taken care of by all adults. I will never forget this kindness. Come on, I will give you a toast!"

When Yao Fan raised his glass, He Wannian got up with his waist, smiled respectfully, took out three silver tickets, and put 1,000 taels in front of each of Sun Maowen, Wei Guofu and Liu Ziming as Yao Fan had privately told him before.

Yao Fan saw the three people's faces with joy and said, "To talk about it, Brother Wei worked hard for the third sister before. Come on! I'll do it first. Brother, I don't talk much, and my gratitude is all in the wine!"

Wei Guofu was happy to hear this and drank a glass of wine.

Sun Maowen put the silver ticket in front of him into the cuff, and his face was very happy. He casually thought, "Brother Yao, you killed the face of the Guo family this time. How can Guo Jixiu be willing to rest? If Guo Weizhong, the eldest master of the Guo family who is a supervisor in Jiangxi, finds someone to join the book, Lord Wei is a general, but he is not afraid of his noise, but Brother Yao should be careful.

Wei Guofu said proudly, "Be careful! Horizontally and vertically, it's just that the flowers and silver are flat. I've made a better job at the government office.

Sun Maowenxin said that you had a good time, but Yao Fan, the god of wealth, was not covered by your official. He thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Wei Guofu then said angrily, "When I came to Qingdao, I knew that Guo was selling salt, but how could this bastard ever think of donating food to help pay? In addition, I heard from the head of the mansion that at that time, Gou Ri huddled in the village. I think his family must be a little unclear with the bandits. The general's government had long looked down on him. If it hadn't been for seeing that his master was still an official in Jiangxi later, he would have had to do it again. This time Brother Yao's incident is a lesson for Guo!"

Sun Maowen felt that Wei Guofu's mind was simple and said, "If the Guo family is bad, Lord Wei will naturally be fine, but Brother Yao has no official body. If the Guo family uses money in the government, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble."

Wei Guofu said, "What's the charge? Are you colluding with me as an officer and soldier? Haha, Brother Sun's words are really coke.

Sun Maowen shook his head blankly and said, "Since you want to be punished, how can you weave too many names or involve too many people? At that time, it only says that Brother Yao is unnamed and his deeds are suspicious, and he can be charged. As long as he takes it to the government, under the three halls, what charges can't be questioned?"

Liu Ziming also said without backbone, "What Lord Sun said is that as the saying goes, enemies should be solved or not. I think it's better for Brother Yao to give the Guo family a face, send some faces to respond, and ask a decent middleman to say some good words."

Wei Guofu listened and snorted heavily, but didn't say anything.

Yao Fan was dissatisfied and frowned and said, "Let's talk about this later. At least I still have three brothers at the mouth of Qingdao. How dare he touch me without looking at the monk's face? Moreover, the Guo family itself is not clean. Selling private salt is a taboo of the imperial court. Once they are brought to court, everyone will be shameless. In case his father hangs down, he will definitely break his leg. I don't think he will fight with me to the death.

Brother Yao, think, since there is a drought, the gentry are not raised by fools. It is estimated that this year's harvest will not be too good. Naturally, they will chase food from the tenants of each family in advance, otherwise when these mud legs are starved to death, where will people be asked to collect debts? Although people's debts are not bad, and their father's debts are paid, if those poor families starve to death, hehe, won't the creditors lose a lot?

As for this*, it's nothing more than copying people. Boys and girls have their own fields. Some poor people saw that their families were broken. They were afraid that they would not be able to live next, so they simply sold all their wives and children. They became beggars and were so happy that they could be idle for the rest of their lives. If they met a soft-hearted person, they might be able to get together every three or five times.

Everyone laughed when they saw what Sun Maowen said was interesting, but the more Yao Fan listened, the cooler he became.

Sun Maowen said more and more vigorously: "Lord Wei, don't blame your soldiers who guard the door. These bastards are quite careful about collecting taxes on weekdays. Besides, some of these beggars do go to the city to invest in relatives and friends, but these days, who can raise a poor relative for nothing? At most, they will come out after a meal. These people will definitely starve to death after leaving the city, but can't they only stay to be beggars?

Liu Ziming squinted his wine and echoed, "What Lord Sun said is very true. The braziers in my customs said that there were still some beggars in the city. They used to scrape the seagulls on the reef by the sea. One day, it is also a way to live. Now seeing that there were ships and goods in the port, they sneaked into the city in the chaos and wanted to ask for some grains to eat. Those gatekeepers swallowed a few cigarettes and soaked them, and they didn't care about these plagued goods.

Wei Guofu scolded, "Damn it! I will call some people tomorrow to drive out all the beggars in the city, so that my brother Yao won't panic!"

Sun Maowen smiled and said, "Lord Wei, why do you have to pay Zhou Zhang and take a bad name? Just wait for the winter to come, and the big white will freeze to death. Since this is the case year after year, there is no need to do this unkind thing this year.

Liu Ziming picked up a chopsticks of fish-flavored shredded pork and said oily, "This is the so-called following the sky. The way of heaven cannot be violated. Lord Sun loves the people like a son. It can be said that he is benevolent. I have a cup of honor."

Sun Maowen had a drink with Liu Ziming and swung his lips after drinking, "If it's hot today, this wine is also a little sour."

Yao Fan listened to the cold-blooded dialogue of the three people and felt as if he were standing in the ice and snow, cold all over.

"...I opened the history and checked it. There is no age in this history. The words 'benevolence, righteousness and morality' are written on each crooked page. I couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically. I looked carefully in the middle of the night and saw the words from the seams. The two words were written as 'cannibal'..."

He Wannian, sitting next to him, saw Yao Fan muttering and asked, "What did Brother Yao say?" What cannibals?"

When He Wannian said this, the other three also stared at Yao Fan.

Yao Fan suddenly woke up and remembered that he was carrying Lu Xun's madman's diary. He was scared into a cold sweat and quickly covered it up and said, "I don't think such a big drought is a big deal. If the people don't have food, don't they want to eat people?"

Sun Maowen shook his head and sighed, "If it is really a year of drought, there must be people who eat each other. Tigers are poisonous and do not eat children. The people of our heavenly kingdom have been taught. I still understand that since love is necessary, it is better to eat than their own family..."
