Chapter 8: Pulling the Nail in the Chinese Dialect of Yunshaofang (Part 2)
I heard the man say mysteriously, "I don't tell him that Zhao Zaili was killed by someone. God sees pitiful, and it's retribution! He shaved three feet in Songzhou back then, which made the heaven angry and resentful. But he spent a lot of money to bribe the officials of the previous dynasty every time, and even married his daughter to Shi Chonggui's son, and also had the title of "Duke of Wei". Humph, he was the Duke of Wei. When he met the Liao people, he surrendered the fastest!"
"Didn't it mean that after he surrendered to the Liao people, he also received the attention of the Liao people? The Liao people did not send troops to protect him, so he would die like this?" Another person asked curiously.
"I value it?" the big man smiled and said, "It's considered important. When Liao general Tsaila saw him, he seemed to see a mountain of gold and tried his best to squeeze oil from him. Who made him famous? He spent 100,000 yuan to marry a daughter! Everyone knows that he has money, but who else can he torture him? When he has almost done his money, the Liao people have no intention of taking care of this waste, so they throw it into the stable and ignore it, and then they are assassinated by the righteous man..."
"A righteous man? That's a violation of national law..."
Seeing that Dong Zunxun and Wang Pu were not paying attention to him, Dong Zunhui secretly looked through the screen and saw that the person who was talking was a fat, short figure, and looked like a sumo wrestler. When he spoke, the muscles on his face trembled, and his chin shook, shaking his chin, and he kept shaking.
The big man curled his lips, "What national law? Zhao Zaili lived 62 years old, and at least thirty years of his life was to plunder the people. The more he plundered the people, the more he was promoted and rich. What is his reason for this? What national law? If there is really a national law, when Zhao Zaili collected the "nail money" two years ago, he should have cut him into pieces!"
The fat man asked puzzledly, "'Pulse Money'? What kind of tax is this? Why have I never heard of it? Brother Guangyi, you have been in the martial arts world for so many years. Why are these corrupt officials still so angry? The battles in the martial arts world have not worn away your edges! Just you are going to wash your hands like this? Even if you wash it ten times, even if you stop the business of the escort agency, you are still a person in the martial arts world."
Yang Guangyi smiled, picked up a bowl of wine on the table and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said, "Fatty Wang, don't laugh at me, you've ground into a ball, aren't you still interested in these things? As for the money for nailing, you have heard of the 'thorn in the eye', which is what the people of Songzhou use to talk about Zhao Zaili. You are a casino, so you should be well informed. Okay, I'll talk to you:
It was the year before yesterday that the court could not bear to see Zhao Zaili's excessive taxes. Due to his mercy, he could not be removed from office, so he ordered him to move to Yongxing. After hearing the news, the people of Songzhou were very happy. They said to everyone: "Zhao Zaili left, it really pulled out the thorn in our eyes. This is the happiest thing in this life!" Someone wrote a small song to scold Zhao Zaili: "War is as timid as a chicken, and as fierce as a tiger, and wherever there is money, I will never let me go!"
As a result, they were too happy too early. Somehow, this was actually heard in Zhao Zaili's ears. Zhao Zaili was furious: I have been plundering the people for more than 30 years, and the people in other places have been obedient. You Songzhou dare to say this to me? So he submitted to the court that the land of Songzhou still needs construction, and he wanted to stay for another year to guide the people to a well-off life. The officials of the court were fed by him, and he felt that there were no officials in the world, so he agreed to his request.
As a result, Zhao Zaili, once received the edict to remain as the governor of Guide of Songzhou, ordered to add an additional item on the basis of the original tax: All the people of Songzhou, whether men, women, young and old, have to pay money every year, called 'nail money'! If they can't take out the money, they are locked up in prison and whipped it hard. In order to collect the money, I don't know how many people were beaten in the prison in Songzhou!"
Fatty Wang slapped the table, "These corrupt officials really deserve to be killed! Like you escorts, you use your lives to protect goods, how much money can you earn in a year? Although I run a gambling house, I am not a formal business, but I also use my own services to win the favor of customers. Even if the customers lose all their money in my house, I will leave him with money. These officials not only do not serve the people, but instead plunder the people and are greedy for the people's wealth. It is really unforgivable to kill the righteous man!"
"Yes, kill well!" Dong Zunhui couldn't help but whisper to echo when he heard this.
Fatty Wang and Yang Guangyi were stunned, and then they realized that someone eavesdropped. Fatty Wang didn't think he was fat, but he was really slow to react. With a chubby fat hand, two black and shiny iron walnuts appeared in his palm, which was clearly the iron meteor of the general hidden weapon in the world!
Although Yang Guangyi did not pounce on him, his muscles were already tense, and the cold light flashed in his long sleeves, and a dagger that was unsheathed appeared faintly! His feet slipped, and he had already stopped the fat man Wang, and he had covered him, ready to fight at any time! The two of them formed an attack formation that matched far and near. Seeing that this flowing posture had been running-in for more than ten years.
Dong Zunhui stuck out his tongue. One of them runs a gambling house and the other runs an escort agency actually reacted so quickly. Could it be that this is the ancient underworld, the young and dandy? He was also a little embarrassed to listen to others' speeches. He scratched his hair, walked around behind the screen, bowed and apologized: "Young student Dong Zunhui, is curious. He just heard the 'nail money' and couldn't help but come over and offended you two inadvertently. I'm really embarrassed to apologize to you here..."
Hearing Dong Zunhui's explanation, Fatty Wang and Yang Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was always inappropriate to discuss current affairs. However, when he heard Dong Zunhui's name, both of them became interested and asked in unison: "Dong Zunhui? Are you the fierce man who hits a tiger with bare hands?"
Dong Zunhui felt a little embarrassed. Although he had hit the tiger with bare hands, he was not himself who eventually eliminated the tiger. If he admitted it, there would always be a suspicion of taking the initiative. It would be bad to deny it. After all, the elder brother had promised the hunter to keep it secret. So he could only smile and say, "It's just a brave man. I can't let my weak brother fight the tiger, right?"
Fatty Wang laughed, "It is not just the courage of ordinary men to rush to the front, but it is not just the courage of ordinary men. This is something that only righteous and brave people can do. Mr. Dong doesn't have to be humble! I am a casino, named Wang Zhengzhong, and he is an escort agency, named Yang Guangyi, and they are both rough people, and they are chatting without any worries. Since the young master is interested, come on, let's sit down and talk in detail. Such a beautiful scenery and such a righteous man performs this righteous act, which is suitable for drinking happily!"
Dong Zunhui nodded and said yes. When he turned around, he saw his brother Dong Zunxun and Wang Puzheng standing arm around and admiring the beauty on the stage. He didn't notice the movement here at all. He couldn't help but smiled silently. He sang, sat down next to Yang Guangyi, and drank three big bowls in a row to show his guilt, and his face remained unchanged (the degree of wine in ancient times was quite low, and Dong Zunhui's alcohol tolerance had been tested by Beijing Erguotou, and this little wine was nothing to him).
Yang Guangyi praised repeatedly, as if anyone who could drink was a hero, and he put away the dagger. Seeing that Dong Zunhui was quite generous in drinking, Wang Zhengzhong knew politeness in his words, and he didn't look like a treacherous person. His face improved a lot, and he also put away the iron walnuts in his hand. The more the three of them talked, they became more and more acquainted. Soon they joined forces to kill a jar of fine wine. Dong Zunhui took advantage of the situation and asked, "I just heard you say, is the hunter who killed Zhao Zaili, a corrupt official?"
