It was approaching midnight, and the sky was drizzling.
The large awnings above the heads of several night stall vendors were rustling with raindrops. Each small square table was propped up with a simple tarpaulin tent, which barely protected the diners from the wind and rain. It was also messed up by the raindrops. ring.
Wu Tie stood in the rain, his burlap gown soaked by the raindrops.
His face was haggard and pale, and he looked like he was about to suffer a serious illness due to the coldness in his body.
Several of the clerks glanced at Wu Tie subconsciously. Xiao Fang, who was a little drunk, smiled and patted his chest: "What are you talking about? What does a bowl of wine mean? Brother, just sit down and let's go together. Together."
The bearded young official grabbed Wu Tie's arm and pushed him down on the bench where he was.
The fair-skinned clerk asked for a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the vendor and filled a bowl of strong wine for Wu Tie.
Several clerks picked up the wine bowls boldly, touched it with Wu Tie, and then drank it in big gulps.
Wu Tie laughed, ate meat and drank wine, and started talking nonsense with these small officials.
The wine is not great, but the food that goes with the wine is pretty good.
The taste of Fufeng Shen Dynasty is lighter than that of Wu Kingdom and the previous Sui Dynasty. Including those side dishes such as pork head meat and braised large intestine, the soup and stew are mostly seasoned with herbs, and they are not as oily and heavy as the dishes of Wu State.
Wu Tie ate a few slices of pig head meat, a piece of braised large intestine, and nibbled on a few chicken feet, duck brains, etc. He felt that the taste was quite good and had a unique flavor, and he couldn't help but nod his head.
This young official is called Fang Juncai.
The fair-skinned middle-aged man is called Tang Buyun.
That bearded man is called Li Feiyang.
There are also two minor officials, one surnamed Tie and the other Yang. They are more reserved and cautious. With Wu Tie, an outsider, present, they talk much less. They just smile, drink and eat meat, quietly. Just listen.
"You don't believe it? Still don't believe it? When it comes to this, I, Xiao Fang, lied. Is it interesting?"
Xiao Fang drank a little too much and had a big tongue, so he started talking nonsense: "I told some brothers that I am really Mr. Liu's biological son... This is what my mother told us before she died. , can it be wrong?”
"Scared, it's a pity that my mother is from a low background, and Mr. Liu is a henpecker, so my mother was kicked out."
Shaking his head, Xiao Fang suddenly laughed: "But speaking of it, our Shanfeng City is really evil. Every master, lord, general, and master is afraid of his wife!"
Several of the clerks did not take Xiao Fang's statement that he was the biological son of Mr. Liu seriously, but they all laughed secretly at Xiao Fang's ridicule.
Counting with his hands, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Starting from the city lord of Shanfeng City, there are very few civil and military officials in Shanfeng City who are not afraid of their wives, from top to bottom.
Even…
"Even Prince Le, who is now in charge of Shanfeng City, is also said to be henpecked." The bearded Li Feiyang lowered his voice and smiled furtively: "Our neighbor Aunt Li's third nephew is an old sweetheart. Isn’t my younger brother keeping watch at Prince Le’s house?”
"I heard that Prince Le was once beaten with a stick from the three gates to the main gate by his princess."
"Tsk tsk... It's said to be Princess Le, with a stick in her hand, like a dragon coming out of the sea, with extraordinary momentum."
"Prince Le, a dignified and powerful person with half a step of honor, was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He dared not come out to see anyone for two or three days... Tsk, this is not the problem of our Shanfeng City, the men of our Fufeng Shen Dynasty. , why do they always look like this?"
Several clerks sighed, and then they began to persuade Xiao Fang, saying that being single was quite good, and it was better to get married or not.
If you don't want to get married, you can find the wife of your choice and be as indulgent and happy as you like.
But after getting married... Haha, if I find someone more powerful and tough than Princess Le, wouldn't I be beaten every day
Look at the Lord of Shanfeng City. The grape trellis in his backyard falls down at least five or six times every year. Isn’t it an honor to come out to see people with blood marks on his face? Is it very respectable
Xiaofang held the wine bowl and hesitated silently.
"Sometimes it's a good thing for men to be afraid of their wives." Wu Tie chuckled, squinting his eyes and whispered softly: "This proves that at least you love your wife very much, so you are afraid of her."
"Otherwise, no matter whether it is the Fufeng Dynasty or other places, the official positions and military power are all held by men. In terms of cultivation, most powerful Daxiu are men... If he doesn't love his wife, how can he do it? Afraid of her?"
"It's a good thing for people, especially men in high positions, to be henpecked."
"As long as you have some reverence in your heart, even if you are afraid of your wife? When something happens, you will always think more about it and think more about it. In this way, you can avoid a lot of trouble and death by saying no, which is a good thing."
Wu Tie put a piece of bitter liver on his chopsticks and preached to Xiao Fang and others seriously.
"It seems that this is the truth." Xiao Fang nodded thoughtfully, and Li Feiyang looked at Wu Tie with wide eyes: "Brother, I haven't asked you your name yet. Tsk, look at you. With such knowledge, you must have a good background. But with the way you dress, are you suffering from a demonic disaster?"
Wu Tie smiled slightly, took out the bronze medal when he entered the city from his sleeve, and placed it gently on the square table.
"Of course, it's because of those demons that I came to Shanfeng City."
Pointing to the bronze medal on the table, Wu Tie smiled calmly and said: "Logically speaking, I should be in the refugee camp in the north of the city. However, there is not enough money and water in that nest, so I came out and found some adults to fight with the autumn wind."
Several clerks looked at each other and at the same time looked at the bronze medal Wu Tie placed on the table.
Xiao Fang laughed: "Ha, Brother Wu Tie, you are quite restless. However, it's not a big deal. What about the refugee camp? You are allowed in but not allowed out. It's just the demon bastards who are causing trouble in the city."
Li Feiyang looked Wu Tie up and down for a while, then nodded and said: "Look at how Wu Tie brother looks, his majestic appearance, he shouldn't be a spy of the devil... Well, come on, let's have a good drink tonight, it's dawn, we brothers , think of a good way for Brother Wu Tie."
Tang Buyun chuckled and said: "To be able to win the bronze medal, Brother Wu Tie's cultivation level is not low. In Shanfeng City, every government office is now short of people. It is not difficult to find a good and free position for Brother Wu Tie."
Xiao Fang looked at Wu Tie seriously, his head shaking and he might fall to the ground at any time.
He said to Wu Tie very seriously: "Even so, once you enter the Yamen, if the devil kid attacks, Brother Wu Tie, we people, will all go to the city wall to fight for our lives."
Wu Tie smiled slightly, picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the devil cubs are here, just have a fight with them."
Wu Tie's smile was very meaningful.
Yin Wushuang, I'm afraid I won't have time to attack Shanfeng City.
