Chapter 329 Before the banquet
Bao Shirong and his party came to Longtubo's house and were taken into the house by Zhao Yang, and held a banquet. Lord Bao was not polite. He was originally ready to eat in the house, so he agreed. After a short time, the wine and vegetables were placed. It was really a delicacies of mountains and sea, a list of cups and plates, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, Ying There are all kinds of people who are dazzled. Bao Shirong saw that Zhao Yang had never heard of such luxury before. How can it be completely fake today? It is also very likely that this person has changed, and this possibility is not ruled out. Finally, the servants brought a bottle of good wine, which is a good wine that Zhao Yang has cherished for many years. Tears off the seal, and a fragrance went straight to the nostrils. Everyone smelled it was really relaxed and happy. Zhao Yang personally filled everyone present with a cup, and there was no one else around him. The one sitting on the table was Bao Shirong, the four heroes in the east, west, north and south, and Zhao Yang and a housekeeper who had never said anything. , full of wine, Zhao Yang raised his glass, "Lord Bao, everyone, for the sake of your pommel horse, return from the triumphant outside, come to drink this cup and wash the dust for you!"
As he spoke, he was the first to drink this glass of wine. After drinking the wine, Lord Bao saw that everyone had drunk it and did not drink it himself. Besides, even if there is toxic drugs in the wine, he must drink it. He absolutely can't lose in momentum. After watching Lord Bao didn't even look at it, he drank it directly. Several knights, He also drank the wine, and Zhao Yang laughed, "Okay, it's refreshing enough. I just like refreshing people!"
After that, everyone talked while eating, and Zhao Yang asked, "Lord Bao, I heard that you encountered some trouble when you were in Shangqiu. Is there anything about this?"
Lord Bao nodded, "Yes, that's why I almost lost my life to my enemy. Fortunately, there is a master to help me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink and talk with the Lord!"
"Who is so bold that he dares to openly confront you? Doesn't he want to live? I think the people of the Song Dynasty will not want to see anything wrong with you, and this person will also be scolded to death by tens of thousands of people! Am I right?
Bao Shirong smiled and said, "Alas, it's a pity that this person is not a person from the Central Plains, but a foreigner. I haven't found out who it is!" In fact, Lord Bao is in a sloppy eye. How can it be unclear now? It is intended to test Zhao Yang's reaction, because Zhao Yang's matter was revealed by Murong Qingfeng, so Lord Bao can't say it directly, just let Zhao Yang have infinite speculation! Zhao Yang didn't say anything, but he was very clear in his heart! Oh, hasn't the victim been identified yet? I heard that all their officers were arrested in the capital. A few days later, can't Lord Bao's Kaifeng Mansion do anything about the thief? Zhao Yang is drugged and let Bao Shirong spit out himself. How smart Lord Bao is. "Hahaha, yes, it's true that all those thieves have been taken to the capital, but in Kaifeng Mansion, the Lord must also know that we never use large-scale, the so-called severe torture to force confessions, we will not do it, so he just won't recruit. We also have no choice!"
Zhao Yang said, "Lord Bao, I don't agree with the torture to force a confession, but Bao Shirong has to find a way to let these hot thieves confess! Only in this way can we know the truth of the matter and contribute to my Song Dynasty's Qianqiu foundation, Lord Bao, what do you think? There are thorns in Zhao Yang's words, and Lord Bao can feel it, but he is calm. "Ha ha, Lord, although this is true, it is strictly tortured to force a confession. In case it is a false confession, we will definitely need some verification. In case we believe this false testimony, our efforts will be abandoned! I don't want to see such a thing happen, so I can only induce him to tell the truth, which is the right way!"
"Hmm... What Lord Bao said is very true, but with such a delay, time does not wait for people. It is passing minute by minute. In case something else happens, how should Lord Bao deal with it? Zhao Yang's words were heavy enough. Lord Bao said in his heart that he wanted to say something big, which happened to you. I want to be prepared for everything, isn't it just for you?" Hahaha, it's not bad, but I can't violate the regulations of Kaifeng Mansion, and I can't delay the time. According to the Lord's opinion, what should I do?
Throw the question directly to Zhao Yang. Zhao Yang heard it and said to himself, what a powerful Bao Shirong, worthy of Bao Zheng's nephew. It's not simple. "Ah, come on, let's eat vegetables. Come on, I'll fill up the wine first!" Zhao Yang actually wanted to change the topic at this opportunity, and also left room for himself to think. He was full of wine and put the winepot on the table. Zhao Yang said first, "Lord Bao, are you just coming to visit me this time? Or is there something else, or am I just one of the people to visit!?
Lord Bao said, "Oh, so it is. I came to visit the Lord's house very simply. It's a very simple visit. The Lord doesn't have to think too much about it. As for what the Lord just said, I actually visited two princes yesterday. Due to the hasty time, I only came to visit the Lord today. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Oh, where, where, Lord Bao joked. I, Zhao Yang and He De, am a person who grows flowers and grass. It's not enough to mention, not to mention it! I'm afraid it's not very good for you to come to my house with such a big fanfare! Because I have never heard of Kaifeng Mansion has to take things outside. This is your rule. Of course, Kaifeng Mansion will not accept anything. So why make an exception today? Isn't this a bad rule?" Zhao Yang will also have problems. Bao Shirong looked at it and said, "Ha ha, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with Kaifeng Mansion, but it's just my personal behavior. I just came back from outside. The emperor gave me a ten-day holiday. I also had a rare rest for a few days to get in touch with each other, so I walked around. , visit friends around you! What's wrong with this?" Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Since Lord Bao said so, there is naturally nothing wrong with it!" Hahaha, come on, let's continue to eat and drink!"
Everyone continued to eat and drink. After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and almost all the food. Zhao Yang waved his hand and removed the remaining seats. It was a really good lunch. Zhao Yang immediately ordered people to have tea and some snacks, snacks and so on. Everyone began to chat, and Lord Bao asked, "Lord, what have you been doing recently? A new painting? Can I appreciate it?"
In fact, Lord Bao also knew that Zhao Yang no longer did anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but practiced martial arts. The insiders, such as Wei Baode and Wei Wen, told him very clearly. He was just knocking around and testing. Zhao Yang heard it, "Ah, haha, alas, I've been very busy recently, and I haven't What time do you have to do? I haven't done piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a long time!" What has the Lord been doing recently? Can I share the Lord's worries? Zhao Yangxin said, if you don't hurt me, the good thing is already to share my worries. I'm planning how to eradicate your uncle and nephew and then seize the country of the Song Dynasty. Can I tell you?" Ah, you can't help me. I'm just dealing with some housework. As the so-called housework, it's difficult for officials to manage. I don't think Lord Bao will want to know!"
Bao Shirong smiled and said, "Well, I'm an outsider after all, so I won't talk about your housework. I've heard from others, but I just heard from others that the Lord has recently fallen in love with martial arts. When I just entered the courtyard, I saw a lot of knives, guns and sticks in the yard. Are these weapons and some martial arts tools true?
When Zhao Yang was asked such a question, in fact, he did practice martial arts, but those instruments were not his own weapons. His own speciality was magic skills. How could he easily leak it? Ah, how can I do martial arts? I've been very busy these days. I've been able to let go of my favorite piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone martial arts? These equipments are not my weapons training materials, and I am not interested in martial arts myself. They are all teachers I have invited. They practice martial arts every day and take care of the home! Lord Bao, you don't have to be surprised!"
"Oh, so that's it. There must be a lot of masters in taking care of the house!"
"Alas, there are some masters, they are all people in the world, some of whom sell a lot of art. I have seen them, let's take them in. In this way, there are some martial arts people in the house now, but they are all home nurses!"
"Oh, Lord, I have nothing to do now. These people I brought have also practiced martial arts for a few days. Can you compete with the teachers in your house? Let's watch the fun!"
Zhao Yang was unwilling, but later thought, it's okay. I saw that these four people were well dressed and had a murderous spirit between their eyebrows. They must know some martial arts. I believe that there will be no bastards around Bao Shirong. I heard that when Bao Shirong went on the inspection this time, there were many Jianghu heroes around him. What Tao Yuan, Wang Yanling, Yuer, Liu Ruyan, the four great chivalrous men from east, west, north and south, and several others are all great figures. Looking at the age of the four, they are likely to be the four great knights in the east, west, north and south. This is Bao Shirong's right-hand man. I just want to see how their martial arts skills are and know them in my heart. There are also many hands, and there are many people in the world, but as long as you call out some, you can choose a few who are good at martial arts. If you can clean up all here, anyway, the martial arts competition, fists and swords are eyeless, it is nothing to hurt anyone, and no one will be suspicious, so he also agreed!
