Chapter 18 Alcohol does not get drunk, everyone gets drunk
Pingkangfang and Zhangtai Pavilion.
Liu Jiu and the third brother Lin hugged each other tightly. Lin San was very excited when he saw Liu Jiu.
"Qin Xianwei, this is my dead brother. We grew up together on the east side of the river, and later he came to Chang'an with me. I originally told him to make a living in Chang'an, and to serve our frontier fortress." You Xia'er earned a reputation in Chang'an, but I didn't expect that I would end up on death row."
Liu Jiu sighed a little.
Speaking of which, Lin San was originally a child of the Shihe Eastern Army in the Sui Dynasty. Later, he became friends with Liu Jiu and became brothers. Later, the Liu family rebelled. The family finally descended to Tang, Liu Jiu went to Beijing as a hostage, and Lin San and other brothers also followed to Chang'an.
"Brother Jiu, why did you come out?" Lin San looked at Liu Jiu in disbelief and asked, especially when Liu Jiu called the young county lieutenant beside him as benefactor.
"Third brother, I'm doing something big, please help me."
"No matter what big brother wants to do, I will listen to you." Lin San showed great trust in Liu Jiu. In fact, he has been planning one thing recently, which is to rob Chang'an County Prison and rob Liu Jiu. Nine then went away and flew back to the eastern side of the river.
For these former heroes who came from the frontiers, the word brother is worth a thousand gold, and it is worth sacrificing their lives for it.
"Third brother, how many brothers are there now?"
Lin San was a little disappointed, "Back when you were majestic, Ninth Brother, countless heroes and villains came to vassalize you, and they respected you as Chang'an Hero, but when something happened to you, many people dispersed, and they really got together. Together, that is, some old brothers we brought from Hedong at the beginning, and a few young people from Chang'an who joined later."
When Liu Jiu was in glory, his father was given the surname of the country and named the king of Pengshan County, and even Liu Jiu almost became the captain of the son-in-law for a time.
But once the Liu family rebelled, Liu Jiu was imprisoned, so those people all became monkeys and dispersed.
Without Liu Jiu, a big local tyrant who spends money like rain, the group that was close to Liu Jiu and his group of frontier rangers quickly disbanded, and the rest of them did not have any financial backers to support them. Lin San and the others lived a very difficult life, and finally they had to start some businesses such as brothels and gambling stalls.
Even in order to compete for territory, they repeatedly fought and fought with those evil boys in the workshop, and many brothers died or were disabled or were arrested and imprisoned by officials.
"Ninth brother, it's good if you come back. The brothers have the backbone. In the past few years, our frontier rangers have been squeezed miserably by those Wuling tyrants and those villains. Many brothers have thought about going back. The east side of the river is blocked."
Liu Jiu took out the gold that Qin Lang gave him, "Third brother, take the gold and distribute it to the brothers below, and tell everyone that I am back, and I will lead my brothers to regain the glory that belongs to us frontier rangers. "
"Ninth brother?"
Lin San was a little puzzled, not knowing where the gold came from.
Qin Lang smiled and said, "I believe in Liu Jiu, you are Liu Jiu's trusted brother, so I also believe in you, and let me introduce myself, my name is Qin Lang, Chang'an county captain, son of Duke Yi, these golds are I gave it to Liu Jiu, and my gold was given by King Qin. Liu Jiu is willing to help me and King Qin. If you are willing to join us, more gold will be given to you. Not only gold, but also land, Women, gold, and official positions, but wealth and wealth are in danger, so I don't know if you have the courage and courage of Liu Jiu."
Lin San picked up a piece of gold, twirled it between his fingers, and said with a smile, "Brother Jiu and I used to be frontier rangers. Although we are not young now, our wild and brave hearts will never grow old. I just ask Tell me, after the matter is done, can my ninth brother be pardoned and freed?"
"It's more than freedom. I have promised that he will not only be free afterwards, but also get a seventh-rank official position. How about it, are you satisfied?"
"Well, count me in." Lin San said.
"Happy, Brother Lin is really a cheerful person."
"Third brother, gather all the trustworthy brothers, we are going to do something big." Liu Jiu laughed.
"Well, do big things."
For Liu Jiu, Lin San and others who once raised their flags and fought against the Great Sui Rebellion, helping the King of Qin was really not something worth considering. Even if it was a rebellion, so what.
When Liu Jiu's father surrendered and rebelled, Liu Jiu could not get any news in Chang'an, otherwise he would definitely leave Chang'an.
After several years of imprisonment in death row, he is now a ferocious beast that has just escaped from the cage, and he has no restrictions.
Qin Lang nodded in satisfaction. These people are not good people, but they can be used by him now, "Do you have any relationship with those vicious youths in Chang'an? Is it possible to buy some of them with gold for your own use?"
Lin San was a little surprised.
"Those villainous teenagers have also been divided into several big groups. Some of them are evil people, but they still keep their word. They value money more. As long as the money is given in place, they are willing to do things for money."
"Okay, I will give you one hundred taels of gold, and you can contact me secretly, as much as you can, but I will only give you two days, okay?"
"Money is not a problem, the key is to keep secrets, we must choose trustworthy people, rather than abuse, we must not leak any secrets."
"I understand this. Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. You won't cause disasters for the donor."
After talking about the matter, Qin Lang took Liu Jiu and Lin San downstairs.
At the door on the second floor, Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "Qin Sanlang, if you don't go to your old friend's place, Secretary Lin will call you."
"I don't understand what you said." Qin Lang shook his head and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Zhao An, Zhang Cheng and other bad guys, Marquis Wu, and jailers are scrambling. It's the first time for them to come to such a high-end brothel. Young and beautiful, just like a fairy in the Heavenly Palace.
One by one is really not drunk, everyone is drunk, and his face is red from drinking a long time ago.
Even if you didn’t get to meet Yu Xuanji, the director of Zhangtai Pavilion, the trip was worth it.
Qin Lang came down to persuade him to drink, and the atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.
These guys who were drinking Zhenghuan spoke highly of Qin Lang, and all of them patted their chests and said that County Captain Qin would have something to do in the future, but they would definitely do it if they asked.
Qin Lang understands that these people's words after drinking are probably not true. These people are not even friends with wine and meat. Relationships also play a role.
To the west of Pingkangfang, Zheng Xuanli's residence under Zhongshu Shengmen.
The steward of the Zheng family leaned closer to the ear of Zheng Xuanli who was reading a book, "Ah Lang, a servant reported that the children of the Qin family in Qinrenfang are calling for friends, and they are throwing a big banquet in the Zhangtai Pavilion in the workshop, which is very lively."
Zheng Xuanli couldn't hear half of Qin characters now, and when he heard the news, he slapped the book on the table angrily.
"That kid from the Qin family, did you bully people too much, and intentionally bullied me to come to Pingkangfang's house?"
Originally, Zheng Xuanli was unwilling to marry the Qin and Zheng families, but later the crown prince sent people to bring it up several times, but he dared not refuse, especially after the elders of the clan, Zheng Shanguo and Zheng Yuanxuan, agreed to the marriage. I can only admit it with my nose pinched, and it is regarded as a contribution and sacrifice for the family.
But who knew that they were wronged to marry, and the Qin family actually disagreed several times.
The son of the concubine of the Qin family even publicly scolded him for selling his daughter, and even beat the sent son back with a bruised nose and a swollen face. This matter has spread throughout Chang'an City, and Zheng Xuanli has lost all face.
Now, the concubine of the Qin family still dares to come to Pingkang Fang to hold a banquet in a big way, which is really unreasonable. What made him even more annoyed was that the son of the Qin family insulted the Zheng family of Xingyang so much, but he has already become the county captain of Chang'an today.
"Qin Qiong, a man with two feet on two boats, Qin Lang, a rude and arrogant bastard!"
Zheng Xuanli was very angry. Not only was he insulted by Qin Lang, a nouveau riche bastard, but he was slapped on the left cheek and the right cheek. What's more, he couldn't even fight back after being slapped wildly in the face.
Originally, he had already personally visited Zheng Shanyuan, the uncle of Ren Zuoweixun's family man, and wanted him, who is Qin Lang's immediate superior, to come forward and deal with this arrogant kid severely, and to find any excuse to punish him severely. It's best to get rid of this little brat and leave the mansion directly, so as to cut off the kid's career path.
But who would have thought that just after he visited the clan uncle, he found out that Qin Lang was no longer serving as a Xunwei in Zuo Weixun's first mansion, and this little **** didn't know where he went, but he was directly Shi Brown as the county captain of Chang'an , An exceptional appointment.
He punched hard, but it missed. Not only did he not hit anyone, but he almost lost his waist. Can you not be angry?
What's even more annoying is that he hasn't found a better way to deal with this brat. This brat flaunts his power and comes to Pingkangfang. Isn't this coming to slap him in the face?
Angry, extremely angry, but there is no way.
"Housekeeper, do you have any way to deal with this little bastard?"
The housekeeper thought about it, and came to Zheng Xuanli's ear with an idea.
"Can it work?" Zheng Xuanli asked with a frown.
"Those people only accept money. As long as they are willing to give money, they will do things. They don't care whether the other party is the Chang'an county captain or the son of Yi Guogong."
"But if things get serious, I'm afraid it won't be good, right?" Zheng Xuanli retreated a bit.
"Ah Lang, it's just to clean up this kid and make him embarrass him and leave him behind. We can’t find traces of them. What’s more, we won’t reveal our identities even if we pay, so naturally we can’t be found. Now it’s night again, and Marquis Wu can’t come in for things in the workshop. There are no traces left."
"Okay, let's do it." Zheng Xuanli gritted his teeth and said, "Remember to do it neatly, our Zheng family must not be involved in this matter, understand?"
Suddenly, a servant woman ran in in a panic, "Ah Lang, it's bad, Thirteen Niang is gone."
