Chapter 100 Caozhou Mutiny (Part 2)
After Cao Jianren sent five subordinates, he personally came to the woman's side for safety reasons. He saw that the woman's hair was tied into a cone shape, with a peach-shaped gold crown full of pearls and jade on her bun, with a phoenix bird on top and a hairpin on her temples. Then she looked at her upper body wearing a wide-collared, wide-clad, and a large-sleeved bright dress with a wide collar, and an embroidered shroud around her arms; she tied her waist with a long belt and a long skirt on the bottom, which was narrow on the top and wide on the bottom, and was decorated with a tangled tree and a tangled flower.
The five subordinates were about to take action when they were stopped by Cao Jianren. Cao Jianren whispered: "Don't you have eyes? You don't even look at what clothes she is wearing and want to do it!"
"Sir, isn't this little girl just wearing Uighur clothes? What's so strange about it? In the past, noble people wore such clothes, but now they have been eliminated. We are not afraid of everyone's jokes when we wear them!" a famous subordinate asked dissatisfiedly.
"What do you know?!" Cao Jianren lowered his voice and reprimanded: "In recent days, Kaifeng Prefecture has started to spread Uighur costumes again. This woman must have come from Kaifeng Prefecture! How could such a young lady go out alone? She must have followed her husband's family. Now Caozhou is a must-pass place for Guide Army. How could officials in Kaifeng Prefecture come here casually?! There was no news of personnel transfers in Caozhou, nor did he welcome the news of Kaifeng special envoys. Then the officials must have come to investigate the news of Guide Army! Since that's the case, what else can we kidnap the young lady and kill the official directly. Who dares to say that there was no mutiny in Caozhou?!"
All the subordinates were convinced, so Cao Jianren and his party quietly followed the little girl and turned left and right in the market. The little girl asked about the prices of goods that were not needed in daily life, which further confirmed Cao Jianren's idea.
Cao Jianren immediately ordered his subordinates to notify all his confidants to gather quietly, distribute swords, guns, clothes, and be ready to act at any time.
Soon, the little girl came to a small courtyard and had not gone out for a long time. Cao Jianren sat down at a small stall outside the courtyard, ordered a plate of wine and food, and three large bowls of wine. He sat there, secretly observing the courtyard, chatting with the owner of the stall while drinking.
According to the owner of the stall, fifty or sixty people came here a few days ago and rented the house. They paid real money and the owner of the house was really cheap. In the past two days, every meal in the house would order more than ten people from the Fushunzhai restaurant next door. The waiter in the restaurant was the owner of the stall owner, and often showed off the lively business of Fushunzhai to the boss. On this day, he came to show off with nothing to do.
The waiter said enviously: Although the ten or so people are all servants, there are white rice to eat at noon, and the host will also give each person a jar of wine to give him a jar of wine in the evening. It’s such a luxury!
Hearing this, Cao Jianren's heart moved. He wanted to raid the house in the daytime with lightning speed and leave some weapons and clothes as evidence, but then his subordinates would inevitably suffer casualties. Now it seems that it is better to act at night and take advantage of the opportunity when the official's subordinates were drunk and kill them all.
Thinking of this, Cao Jianren was very happy. He drank the three bowls of wine in one go, then checked out and left, preparing for the evening action. He left too early and didn't hear the stall owner advise the waiter: Just be content. The fifty people in the backyard are all staying in the yard and eating big pot every day!
At this moment, Dong Zunhui said to Ma Dehai: "Brother Daoshan, you don't have to follow us to eat big pot meals, you should go to the front yard to eat with them."
Ma Dehai shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Daoan, you are so ugly to me. Our big pot rice looks rough, but it tastes so delicious. I don't eat such a meal, but I go to the front yard to get together with the servants. I won't do this stupid thing!"
After getting along for a long time, Ma Dehai has become much more casual about Dong Zunhui. At least he no longer called "Sir" expressionlessly, but called his word "女". Anyway, it's okay now. Dong Zunhui has also competed with Ma Dehai several times and found that he was fists and feet and could not resist his natural power at all. However, Ma Dehai's skillful spear stick is also a good thing. In Dong Zunhui's army, in addition to Liu Qingyi, Ma Dehai's marksmanship is the best! Especially his ancestral gun technique, which is the most suitable for charging and attacking cities and villages!
Liu Daqing slipped over from the front yard and bowed to Dong Zunhui: "Report to Lord, everything in the front yard is as normal. It is said that Li Tao understands that they have been going out recently, so each person will enjoy an extra jar of wine tonight."
Liu Daqing is a veteran and good at dealing with people. He has been very familiar with Li Tao's subordinates these days, and he can't hide all the news about Li Tao.
Dong Zunhui nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, I'm leaving you with food, go and eat!"
Zhang Yi, who was standing beside him, complained in a low voice: "This Li Tao is really true. He makes his subordinates drunk every day and has to let us stand guard for him every day and night. It's so cunning!"
Dong Zunhui smiled and said, "Lingyun, there are too many complaints to prevent heartbrokenness. We have taken Li Tao's money, and standing guard for him is also a matter of duty. How have I told you to do these days?"
Zhang Yi was elegant and elegant, not obscene. In the past few days, he always stayed in brothels with the money distributed by Dong Zunhui. While comforting the fallen girl, he secretly asked for news. He said to Dong Zunhui: "It is said that the warehouse in Caozhou is so empty that mice can starve to death. All the money and grain were transported away by Murong Yanchao. Although the Guide Army bought a lot of food from Kaifeng Prefecture, it was still not enough for the military to use the entire army. Now he is relying on the food and fodder he carries. There are some complaints in the army, but the military discipline is still good. A few days ago, it was said that more than ten riots were robbed and sued by the Caozhou government. However, after investigation by the Guide Army, it was found that those people were pretending to be the rest of the people, not the ones who were the Guide Army. Now the relationship between the locals and the Guide Army is a little nervous, but it is generally good."
"You can work harder and use your strengths to play. If you don't go to the brothel to drink and chat, I will reimburse you for the expenses. I can't reimburse you for the money you have for the "heart talk" all night!" Dong Zunhui laughed and scolded: "You have been a little floating in your walking these days. Be careful of kidney deficiency!"
Zhang Yi smiled and left the back door. He should go to do the serious business after eating and drinking. At this time, Liu Qingyi came over and quietly gave Dong Zunhui a wink. Dong Zunhui said to Liu Qingyi: "Daoshan is not an outsider, but it's okay!"
In Ma Dehai's grateful eyes, Liu Qingyi whispered: "You are the one who is watching. The brothers who are watching find someone peeping at our house. There is just a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties who asked us about it at the stall opposite. The money you rewarded to the boss a few days ago played a role. The owner of the stall just came over and explained that the man was surrounded by five strong men, with calluses sharpened by swords and guns, and said something like "Come at night... standby"
Dong Zunhui thoughtfully and whispered: "I ordered the whole team to be more vigilant. I want to see who is so ugly and actually provoked us!"
