In order to kill the dung gold and horns in public, Zhao Tuo endured it.
He attended the reception banquet prepared by Bo Shu with a gloomy expression.
At the banquet, there were not only officials and powerful people, but also local merchants.
Zhao Tuo drank a few glasses of wine and felt very annoyed.
Do these lowly businessmen deserve to sit here?
Zhao Tuo turned his head and looked at Bai Shu, thinking that the magistrate of Gaoshan County was so self-destructive that he actually associated with merchants.
When Bai Shu saw Zhao Tuo looking over, he immediately smiled in a friendly manner and then raised his glass to congratulate him.
Zhao Tuo could only force out a smile and drank the wine.
During the banquet, these people were quite polite. After all, Zhao Tuo came from Xianyang City.
The guests present chatted back and forth, and finally the topic turned to banishing the immortal.
Zhao Tuo was already mentally prepared for this. In his opinion, people in this Gaoshan County were obsessed with the word "banishing immortals".
Change the name of the county to Banished Immortal, place a bust of Huaiguzi in the middle of the road, and encourage people to engage in things related to Huaiguzi...
Zhao Tuo sighed and really wanted to throw away his sleeves and leave.
Forget it, forget it, just bear with it a little longer. The purchase of grain has ended, and the general is probably arranging to kill the dung gold and horns.
Just wait another hour or two. Soon, soon.
At this moment, a merchant suddenly stood up with a wine glass and wanted to toast Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo almost threw the jug on his face and toasted to me? Are you worthy?
But he held back.
I've endured it for so long, it's time to wait.
So Zhao Tuo took a sip of wine.
However, the merchant pressed forward and asked, "The general is from Xianyang, so his knowledge is much wider than ours. I wonder if the general has ever seen the banished immortal? Can you tell us about the demeanor of the banished immortal?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
Zhao Tuo suddenly had a feeling that these people seemed to come here just to listen to these things.
The anger in Zhao Tuo's heart grew stronger and stronger, and he couldn't hold it in anymore. He said angrily, "I am banishing the immortal. I will naturally know about it."
The people in Gaoshan County suddenly became interested, and they all looked at Zhao Tuo with admiration. "The general really knows the banished immortal. It's really enviable."
Bai Shu even said with excitement, "I heard that the banished immortal possesses magical powers and can summon wind and rain, swallow clouds and mist. I wonder if the general has seen it."
Zhao Tuo sneered, "I've never seen this before, but I've seen it clearly by banishing immortals to make money."
Zhao Tuo originally thought that after saying this, the people present would blush and have thick necks, and they would be angry and afraid to speak, and then they would stop.
Who knew that those people would become interested and said to Zhao Tuo very excitedly, "It is good to make money. This county is poor and weak, so what we want is to make money and become rich. General, tell us quickly. If we can learn 10% or 20%, That’s why I’m satisfied.”
Zhao Tuo "..."
Are these people stunned?
He sneered and said, "A cup of the so-called immortal wine costs one hundred thousand yuan. A steamed bun can be sold for five hundred yuan. Anyone who enters Shang Jun's Courtyard must pay one hundred thousand yuan first."
"Well, when His Majesty gave Shang Jun's Villa to him, it was just a long-abandoned mansion. What about now? There are mountains of gold and silver piled inside it. It shows that he is very capable of banishing immortals and amassing wealth."
After hearing this, the people in Gaoshan County nodded repeatedly and said with emotion, "It is really admirable that the banished immortal is so generous and benevolent."
Zhao Tuo? ? ?
He rubbed his ears. Could it be that I heard wrong? generous? Benevolence and righteousness? Sophora millet?
Bai Shu said, "Immortal wine and steamed buns, which one is not a heavenly thing? Selling them so cheaply is really unfair and banishing them to immortals."
Those merchants said, "Yes, the residence of the banished immortal must be surrounded by immortal energy, right? As long as you pay 100,000 yuan, anyone, whether scholar, peasant, industrialist or merchant, can enter? That is really approachable."
Many people nodded repeatedly, "Relegating the immortal is really an example for us."
Zhao Tuo was a little depressed, feeling that he had no way to communicate with these people.
However, Bai Shu still asked with interest, "Is there anything else? General, what have you done to banish immortals recently?"
Zhao Tuo was a little speechless. I just came back from South Vietnam. How do I know what the banished immortal did?
He shook his head and said no more.
After confirming that nothing could be learned from Zhao Tuo, everyone let him go in disappointment.
However, Bai Shu still asked, "Please general, after returning to Xianyang City, tell all the adults about our Banxian County. Maybe some of the adults will take their families to visit on a whim. In that case, it will be the common people of this county." benefactor."
Zhao Tuo hummed perfunctorily. But in his heart, he was thinking that the dignitaries of Xianyang City would come to visit Huaiguzi's hometown? It's downright ridiculous. My lords, whoever mentions Sophora japonica does not scold it? If you want to invite powerful people to play, it is simply a daydream.
Half an hour later, the banquet was almost in progress. Bai Shu enthusiastically took Zhao Tuo with him and wanted to arrange a place for him.
Zhao Tuo looked at the time and felt that it was almost done.
The time is indeed coming soon.
Dungjin and Niujiao were sleeping in the stable, with things stuffed in their mouths to prevent them from screaming.
Dungjin was already fast asleep, and sleeping soundly.
Niujiao kept his eyes open and couldn't sleep at all.
He looked at the dung gold, a little envious, a little jealous, and a little confused about this smelly stable, with horse dung everywhere. This guy fell asleep soundly, as comfortable as if he had returned to his own home. How did he do it?
Niujiao sighed. He did some math in his mind and estimated that he was almost at Xianyang City.
According to his guess, Zhao Tuo would not let him return to Xianyang alive. In other words, his death has come.
Is there any way to escape? Niujiao thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
The only possibility of survival is the voice shouted in Peixian County. There were a few people on the roadside at that time. But is anyone willing to help report the news?
Niujiao thought for a long time, and finally shook his head pessimistically.
If you want to go to Xianyang, it is not that simple. You must first have a certificate of authenticity and a document issued by the local governor.
Ordinary Guizhou leaders want to report the news. They are crazy about poverty. When they encounter such a good thing, they want to give it a try, whether it is true or false. But they have no ability to obtain documents and are stuck in a small place for the rest of their lives.
As for wealthy people who can afford to issue documents, they don't want to take the risk. If you have a fortune and relatives, you will be extra cautious.
Who would go all the way to Xianyang to report a message just because someone ran out of nowhere and yelled? If he gets angry, won't all the wealth he has accumulated after working hard for most of his life be lost?
Niujiao thought of this and closed his eyes.
Forget it, just die. He was originally a poor man who was about to starve to death. I met the Exiled Immortal, saw all the good things, and ate all the good things. This life is considered satisfying.
Suddenly, Niujiao remembered a legend. According to legend, when you are in danger, just recite the name of the banished immortal silently, and you can turn the danger into safety.
The craftsmen of Shangjun Courtyard do not believe this legend. After all, they get along with Li Shui day and night. What they admired was Li Shui's talent and conduct, and they would not be like those ignorant Guizhou leaders who indulged in myths and vilified immortals.
But there are many people who say that asking for help from the banished immortals is very effective.
The King of Kuaiji once swore that this was true. When they were surrounded by rebels on Yuewang Mountain, they were saved only by silently reciting the name of the banished immortal.
Xu Fu also swore that this was true. When the sailors were in big storms, they relied on praying to the banished immortals to survive.
These two people are both very distinguished people, so they wouldn't lie, right?
Niujiao was doubtful and began to mutter silently, "Please banish the immortal to save my life, please banish the immortal to save my life, please banish the immortal to save my life..."
Just after taking a few breaths, I heard a very light footsteps, sneaking towards this direction.
Niujiao's heart was beating loudly. "It won't be so effective, right?"
But the footsteps had clearly stopped in front of him.
Niujiao tentatively opened his eyes and found that it was Deaf Tao, a familiar and familiar person.
Deaf Tao has no name.
He is from Tao County. When this person faced Shangguan, he was extremely flattering and wished he could kneel down to talk to him. But facing new soldiers, or soldiers younger than him. He put on airs.
Sometimes when recruits asked him something, he simply rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear.
Therefore, everyone nicknamed him Deaf Tao - the deaf Tao County native.
In the past few days, the horns and dung gold have been tortured by Deaf Tao.
Speaking of which, when he was in South Vietnam, Deaf Tao once fell ill and relied on dung money to take care of him, and then he recovered.
When nothing happened to Dung Jin, Deaf Tao was polite to Dung Jin. But after Shi Jin was targeted by Zhao Tuo, Deaf Tao changed his face.
Among the ten people responsible for torture of horns and dung gold, Deaf Tao was included. And this Deaf Tao was the darkest among the ten.

When you fight someone, you don't leave any room. Often in order to beat the horns and dung gold half to death, he himself would be panting, sweating profusely, and almost died of exhaustion.
Once in the dead of night, Deaf Tao also expressed his feelings in front of Dung Gold and Ox Horns: "No one wants to be a poor person in this world."
"Now I finally have an opportunity to be appreciated by the general, and I don't want to waste it. So don't blame me, you two. I torture you not because I have any grudge against you, but just to survive."
“Farmers weed and fishermen catch fish, they are actually the same as me.”
Deaf Tao spoke frankly, and Niu Jiao felt like he was almost brainwashed by him.
Now that Deaf Tao is here again, Niujiao immediately understands that this guy is here to torture people again.
In the middle of the night, even if I beat myself to pieces, no one would know, and it wouldn't reach Zhao Tuo's ears. Why would he go to all this trouble? Isn’t it comfortable to sleep well?
Niujiao sighed, closed his eyes, and said helplessly, "Let's fight, then we can go to sleep."
As a result, Deaf Tao did not beat him, but instead untied his rope.
Niu Jiao looked at Deaf Tao in disbelief. Could it be that the banished immortal has appeared?
Deaf Tao whispered, "In the past, I beat you to deceive others. Shijin saved my life, am I an ungrateful person?"
Niujiao's eyes widened, and he was a little confused for a moment.
Deaf Tao continued, "While marching outside the city, I never found an opportunity. Today we entered Gaoshan County. The sergeants had a full meal and drank some wine. They no longer had to sleep in the wilderness. And there are cities around, so Don’t worry about bad guys coming and going.”
"So everyone has relaxed their vigilance. It is most suitable for you to escape tonight. Come with me."
Niujiao quickly untied Dungjin's rope and shook him awake.
Deaf Tao led the way, while Ox Horn and Dung Jin followed.
As a result, as soon as the three people walked onto the street, they heard someone behind them shouting, "The two rebels escaped."
Immediately afterwards, torches were erected not far away, and there was a rush of footsteps converging towards this side.
Niu Jiao was nervous and looked at Deaf Tao.
Deaf Tao waved his hand, "Be calm and don't be impatient. Be calm and don't be impatient. Let's find a place to hide for a while."
He pointed to a nearby courtyard, "Escape to that side first, there is no one there. Avoid this gust of wind before leaving."
Later, Deaf Tao climbed over the wall and went in with the horns and dung gold.
They entered with their front legs, and Zhao Tuo's men surrounded the courtyard with their rear legs.
These people are all Zhao Tuo's personal soldiers. No news will leak out.
As for the large group of people, they were all arranged on the periphery. They didn't know what was going on near the house and could only judge based on the shouts of Zhao Tuo's soldiers.
Zhao Tuo's soldiers kept shouting, "The rebels have hijacked the people. The rebels have hijacked the people."
Others were shouting, "Horns and dung gold, please hand over the people immediately and come out to surrender. Otherwise, we will kill without mercy."
Dung Jin panicked and said to Niu Jiao, "Isn't this an abandoned house? Where do the people come from?"
Niu Jiao was also a little confused and said to Deaf Tao, "Brother Tao, we... huh? Where is Brother Tao?"
Deaf Tao disappeared.
Niujiao immediately realized that he had fallen into the trap.
He couldn't eat well or sleep well these days, and he always dreamed that he was killed by Zhao Tuo.
It seems that Zhao Tuo finally plans to take action, now.
While Niujiao was thinking of a way, a few torches were thrown in from outside, and then someone shouted, "The rebels are going to set fire, the rebels are going to set fire, don't let them get away."
Niujiao and Dungjin hurriedly put out the fire, but several torches fell on the haystacks, igniting the windows and making the fire grow bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, the door opened, and there was a woman, dragging a child of seven or eight years old, and two little maids, and fled in embarrassment from the house full of smoke.
After these people saw the horns and dung gold, they immediately trembled all over and huddled in the corner, as if begging for their lives.
The woman whispered something to a little maid.
The little maid bravely walked around the corner of the cow against the wall, trying to open the door.
As a result, as soon as the door opened a crack, a cold arrow was fired at him: "The rebels want to run away, don't leave the rebels."
The little maid closed the door in despair and retreated to the woman.
Niujiao glanced at them, sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, we are from Shangjun Courtyard and we will not harm others. We were just framed by traitors today."
The woman's eyes suddenly became hot, and then she said in disbelief, "Are you the one who banished the immortals?"
Gokukaku nodded.
The woman hesitated for a moment, "People outside say you are a rebel."
Niu Jiao smiled bitterly, "Whether he is a rebel or not is easy to verify."
He shouted outside at the top of his lungs, "There are women and children in the courtyard. We are willing to surrender."
The soldiers outside suddenly shouted, "The rebels are pretending to surrender, the rebels are pretending to surrender." Then they continued to throw torches inside.
