One hundred and forty-one brotherhood
"It's okay, I'll tell Master Bi this matter. I think Master Bi is happy to come."
Zhan Zhekun said many compliments, praising Bi Xuansheng as a "young talent" and will inevitably have "great potential" in the future and "assisting Feng Bazhong to become generals and prime ministers", which not only made Feng Haijiao proud and thought that he had recruited some talented people, but even Bi Xuansheng believed it.
He had become an officer and a soldier, and he had to be appointed as an official and made a wish. Feng Haijiao also conferred more than a dozen of his leaders as "team officials" and "sentence officials", and gathered the bandits to eat and drink. However, it made the people of Qinglianwei suffer, and there were many more "entrusted people" in vain.
Zhan Zhekun and Bi Xuansheng poured a lot of rice soup at the banquet, coaxing Feng Haijiao to the point of being rich and unfair. They repeatedly spoke wildly at the banquet, saying that they would take down Yangshan County and give Xiong a look.
Feng Haijiao immediately became the "master" and raised a banner in Qinglianwei, "recruiting troops and horses", and sent people to the surrounding villages and towns to ask them to "support money and grain". It was having a lot of fun, but suddenly someone came to report that Sun Dabiao and Sun Storekeeper from Dalunwei sent someone to "please ask Mr. Feng to go over and discuss matters."
In the past, when Sun Dabiao said "invitation", he would set off immediately - Sun Dabiao was the richest among the three brothers. Feng Haijiao sometimes had "bad business" and his brothers could not turn over their money and food. He had to speak to this "big brother". He would ask this "big brother" to sell the stolen goods when he grabbed various stolen goods on weekdays.
But now he was a little inflamed - he was an "official", and only Sun Dabiao, the "minister", came to see him, so he could not meet Sun Dabiao. When he was in office, Sun Dabiao did not congratulate him, and he was very ignorant of politeness. He felt a little angry and did not see the messenger, saying, "You go and tell me that I am busy with official duties now. If he has anything to do, just come and say it."
His subordinate Weiwei was about to retreat, but Bi Xuansheng said, "Slow!" He stopped his subordinates, turned to Feng Haijiao and said, "Master, I heard that Mr. Sun is your old sworn brother?"
Before he came here, he had already learned a lot of local situations from Xie Wendong, which was the background of Feng Haijiao. He naturally knew what the origin of a person like Sun Dabiao was.
"Yes, he is old, I call him big brother."
"If this is the case, it seems inappropriate to reply like this..."
"X, your mother, why is it inappropriate?!" Feng Haijiao's impression of Bi Xuansheng was a sour person who was "talented" while speaking, so he made him a "master" on a whim. Now this sentence "inappropriate" made him feel embarrassed, and he widened his eyes and looked at Bi Xuansheng, which meant "You can't tell me every word today."
Bi Xuansheng was really a little scared, but he was quite knowledgeable and knew that he would never be soft-headed at this time, otherwise he would be looked down upon by this green forest hero and would be even more difficult to speak in the future. He immediately coughed and pretended to be calm: "Master, you have an official position now, and your identity is not ordinary. However, since you have a good friend with Mr. Sun, you are a brother who lives and dies together. - The word "kindness" must be discussed. This matter must be spread. If you know, it is different from the superiority of officials and the people. If you don't know, you will say that you are always unfaithful..."
"I? Not loyal?" Feng Haijiao is a hero in the green forest. When he said he would have a reputation for being "unkind". Although he was still glaring at the beard, his heart softened a little. Bi Xuansheng knew that these words were useful, so he rang the railway while the hot: "The master is the official of the court, and he is about to do something now. The so-called killing of tigers requires brothers. This uncle Sun is the master's elder brother. If he can be good at marrying, Dongweng will have great help. I hope Dongweng will think three times."
Feng Haijiao changed his mind and felt that Bi Xuansheng was right. Although this brother who was fucked by the Yao people this time, he suffered heavy losses, he was still a centipede worm. He had some people, money and food in his hands. It would be no good to offend him. If he was attracted, it would be helpful. He turned anger into joy and patted Bi Xuansheng on the shoulder and smiled and said, "No wonder people say that scholars have many ideas, but they are indeed knowledgeable!"
Bi Xuansheng was patted by him and was so painful that he cursed "killing the body" in his heart, but he looked calm and composed, "Where is the master who is far-sighted and knowledgeable, and he is good at doing good."
"Since that's the case, I'll be condescending... that's it," Feng Haijiao stood up and walked a few steps, and said to the follower, "You go and tell the sender, saying that I'll come tomorrow - let him prepare wine and meat."
From Qinglianwei to Dalunwei, it took only half a day to land. In the past, they often walked around and had no show. Just to prevent enemies from robbing the road or robbery from Yao people, they had to take some minions and followers to escort them. They often walked on foot, sometimes riding a slide rod carried by two people.
This time, Feng Haijiao had to put on airs - after all, it was the first time he went out after becoming an official. Ceremony was indispensable, and the slide rod was naturally not used, which was too simple. However, the sedan chair was a rare thing in Yangshan: decent sedan chairs were all in the county town or local gentry houses, and there was no such place as Qinglianwei that was almost "bandit's nest".
Feng Haijiao looked at the broken sedan chair that he had finally collected and looked unhappy, but Bi Xuansheng was still clever and said, "The master is now a military officer in the court. He rides a horse according to the rules. It's better not to sit in this sedan chair."
There were a few horses in their hands. Now they chose the most "shenjun" one, and Feng Haijiao had a mount. Behind the horse was a red umbrella cover and a banner with a surname. Dozens of minions were supporting him. In front of him was a horse. He learned the style of the county magistrate on patrol. He found a gong, and beat the gong "The military, civilians and people will dodge each other" and set off in a mighty way.
As soon as the man came out, he was very powerful. Originally, there were few pedestrians on the road after passing through the Yaoyun in Yangshan County. When Feng Haijiao moved out again, there were even fewer pedestrians on the road.
Feng Haijiao was walking along the way and posted his "Notices". This was Bi Xuansheng's idea, saying that this would make the people know that Feng Haijiao is now an official in the court, which would facilitate the collection of money and grain.
"...If you don't follow the notice, you might as well slaughter a few to serve as a warning!" Bi Xuansheng said.
"I didn't expect that although your brother is young, he is quite ruthless." Feng Haijiao admired it very much.
"Where is the master's power." Bi Xuansheng responded with his head down, but he was smiling in his heart: This is putting him on the fire, so that the thief's attention will be attracted by the bird that emerges, and Mr. Yang can breathe for a while and wait for a while to change.
When they encounter villages and towns, they ask the people to "help for food, grass and military pay". If there are forts in Dacun Town, they will not accept them, and the young ones will be in trouble. They will always be blackmailed to some food, and no matter how poor the place is, they will have to harm a few chickens and ducks.
With this way of walking, the itinerary naturally couldn't get faster. The journey that I could have arrived that night was only about noon the next day. Sun Dabiao and Zhang Tianbo thought something had happened on the way, so they sent some people to inquire.
After inquiring, he found out that this man had "official" his brother. Sun Dabiao immediately called his subordinates sent to deliver the letter and scolded him, asking him why he didn't say anything when he came back and was intentionally deceiving him. The subordinate quickly determined that he had not even seen "Second Master Feng" and was just listening to people's messages. As for the "Second Master Feng" becoming an official, no one told him - there was nothing unusual in Qinglianwei.
"No abnormality, your eyes are blind!" Sun Dabiao was furious and threw the notice he had exposed to the minion's face. "He has issued notices everywhere, and you still say that everything is as usual! What a nonsense! Pull it down for me and beat forty more sticks!"
The minion kept shouting for justice, but was dragged down and beaten hard. After a while, a wailing sounded in the yard. Sun Dabiao was still not satisfied and stood on the steps and shouted: "Bow me hatefully! Tell him not to have eyes! No ears!" After that, he turned back to the hall angrily.
Zhang Tianbo understood the mood of this brother: he originally wanted to pull Feng Haibiao to recruit him, but now he was invited by the court first! Although they didn't care much about who he was invited, Feng Haijiao was too unfaithful and even gave him the title of "General" without saying a word! Sun Dabiao, who was about to bargain with the Australians, had much less bargaining chips.
Zhang Tianbo was also quite annoyed by this "second brother". However, since things were over, it was useless to be annoyed, so he advised: "Brother! Now that the second brother has been invited by the court, it is useless to be annoyed. Why not we are angry? It is better to think of a solution first. When he comes, how can we speak and where will we stand?"
"Where is it? Can I still open the middle door to greet me, kneel down and call me a grass-roots?" Sun Dabiao cursed, "xtlm, this Feng Haijiao is really not a thing. Fortunately, I have made a fortune with him! What else can Australians talk about inviting people? Even if they really need to recruit them, should Australians go to suppress him or not? How could Feng Haijiao be so reckless!"
Zhang Tianbo advised: "Brother, don't be angry! Brother Feng's second brother can come this time, and brothers' loyalty is still something we can say. Let's not be too concerned about for the time being, let's listen to what he says."
"That's all." Sun Dabiao was very depressed and a little angry: Daming was generous in his actions to his brother, and he gave him a boss as soon as he gave him; but this Australian was only willing to promise a job of land security, which was really a difference! He was in his heart for a moment, and he was envious and jealous, and mixed with anger towards Feng Haijiao and the Australians.
Zhang Tianbo did not think as much as he thought about it. He realized that the situation of their brothers was quite subtle. Feng Haijiao was not only encouraged by Ming Kingdom, but also made a big fuss. Regardless of whether this was his original intention or not, it was already clear that he was going to fight against the thief. The possibility of recruiting Feng Haijiao was very small.
Sun Dabiao's strength is now greatly damaged. Without Feng Haijiao's bonus, it will be very difficult to get greater benefits from Australians.
