"I……"
Zhao Ping was speechless for a while.
Why is this person so weird?
He just drank tea instead of wine, and he didn't say he wouldn't drink it, but he just threw his pick and left. How did he become the prime minister of this city?
When Xu Tianhua recommended Zhao Ping to Qingzhou to suppress bandits, Zhao Ping sent a poker scout team to investigate the situation in Qingzhou.
Especially the official situation.
I found out that this guy’s name is Beiping, he is Qingzhou’s Prime Minister Zuo, ranking fourth in Qingzhou.
He is a veritable boss in Qingzhou.
He used to be a Beijing official and served as Minister of Household Affairs.
When Chen Xinghe was given the title of Shepherd of Qingzhou, he came with him and has served as Prime Minister Zuo ever since.
He is considered a veteran figure around Chen Xinghe.
Seeing this, Chen Xinghe had no choice but to stop him, "Prime Minister Bei, why are you so angry?"
"Mr. Zhao is not good at drinking. He uses tea instead of wine. How can he refute your face?"
"Come back quickly."
"It's a great celebration banquet, don't make this unpleasant for me."
Chen Xinghe called himself an official, which was a reminder to Beiping.
This is the state capital. I am the state shepherd and the biggest official here. Please give me some peace of mind.
"snort!"
Beiping snorted coldly, "Dangtang, the brewer of acacia wine, you actually told me that I'm not good at drinking. Do you really think I would believe it?"
"Does the person who makes wine need to be good at drinking?"
Zhao Ping retorted: "Have you ever seen a couple in a couple's lung slices?"
"Is there a wife in the wife cake?"
“Is there fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork?”
“Are there ants in the ant tree?”
Couple's lung slices? Sweetheart cake? Fish-flavored shredded pork? Ants climbing trees?
What are these?
Beiping was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Why have I never heard of these things in my entire life?
On the other hand, Mu Shangwu on the side salivated involuntarily when he heard the names of these dishes.
Last time, my daughter came back with an iron pot and made him fish-flavored shredded pork and ants on a tree. She asked him to make five bowls of rice.
When he heard the names of these dishes again, Mu Shangwu actually missed his daughter.
Yes, I just miss my daughter.
I didn’t want to eat those dishes at all.
Zhao Ping continued: "I'm just making wine. Isn't it normal to not be good at drinking?"
"As long as the wine you make tastes good, that's all."
"Strong words."
Beiping couldn't defeat Zhao Ping and didn't want to argue with him anymore.
Instead, he said to Chen Xinghe: "Master Zhou Mu, I'm already full. Go back to the front hall to rest."
"If something happens later, send someone to report it and I'll come back later."
"Want to leave?"
Zhao Ping stood up, "Everyone present today counts. No one can leave without my permission."
"What do you mean?"
Beiping got angry, "This is the state capital, not your Xiping Village."
"What qualifications do you have to say such a thing here?"
"A mere mountain villager actually wants to order us to wait. Who gave you the courage?"
"Believe it or not, as soon as I give the order, a bunch of guards will rush in and cut you into pieces with swords?"
"Beping, shut up!"
Chen Xinghe couldn't stand it anymore and yelled.
He felt that scolding his old friend in front of so many people was a bit too much, so he stood up again and walked over with the wine glass in hand.
She persuaded him softly, "Prime Minister Bei, today is a day to celebrate Mr. Zhao's success. Why make it so unpleasant just because of a glass of wine?"
"Here, let's drink this glass of wine to calm down."
"Mr. Zhao is not good at drinking. I can't accompany you to have a good drink. I can. Let's drink with our belly open tonight. We won't come home until we are drunk."
"You all, too, must accompany Prime Minister Zuo tonight."
"Don't drink."
Beping said angrily: "I'm full of anger."
As he spoke, he grabbed the wine glass from Chen Xinghe's hand and threw it heavily to the ground.
Guo Quanhan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, watched helplessly as the cup fell to the ground. He wanted to step forward to catch it, but he was too far away and couldn't catch it.
He couldn't help but frown and said: "Beiping, if you don't want to drink, you won't drink. Why are you throwing the cup?"
"Did the cup provoke you?"
At the same time, the people sitting in the courtyard were also dumbfounded.
They all looked at each other, not quite understanding what they meant.
Didn't they agree that after the dinner was over, they would get the escorts drunk, release the bandits, and then break the cup as a sign to falsely accuse Zhao Ping of rebelling, so as to take advantage of the chaos to attack and kill him?
The meal was not even halfway through, and neither of them had eaten enough.
Drink less alcohol.
Not to mention drunk, even my head is not dizzy.
The bandit is still tied up, squatting in the corner, and has not been released yet.
What's the point of throwing a cup in this situation?
Things have changed. Do you need to advance your plans?
These people in charge really do one thing after another and don't follow the process at all.
He doesn't even say hello in advance, he just likes to let us figure it out.
Aren't you afraid that we might guess wrong?
Several people made eye contact for a while, and then shouted.
"Oh no, the escort has released the bandits. Zhao Ping is going to rebel. Kill him quickly."
If someone takes the lead, many will follow.
Most of the soldiers, guards, and cronies led by various officials sitting in the courtyard were repeating this sentence loudly.
They not only shouted, but also took action.
According to the previous agreement, if a cup is thrown inside the house, there will be action outside.
While those escorts were drunk, chop off their heads one by one.
Although they are not drunk now, it does not prevent them from taking action.
The escorts were also dumbfounded.
rebel?
We have been sitting here eating quietly, even sipping the wine in small sips. When did we rebel?
And free the bandits.
Aren't those bandits squatting in the corner?
Where has it been released?
However, the escort reacted quickly. After hearing these words, he left the table in an instant and quickly gathered together.
Then one by one they picked up the Zhuge Liannu and stood ready, hesitating whether to kill the soldiers who were rushing over.
Among the bandits, Yao Hong's eyes lit up when he saw movement.
He felt his chance had come.
The one who joins himself has not given up on him.
Just roll your eyes and you'll get the idea.
Taking advantage of the chaos, he shouted, "Hahaha, you guys figured it out, but so what?"
"Yes, our bandits have indeed united with Zhao Ping."
"Otherwise, how can he, a mere mountain villager, be able to kill more than twenty waves of bandits in just a few days?"
"We are all pretending to take refuge."
"He pretended to take us as prisoners, but in fact he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the state capital, and then kill the state pastor, the left and right prime ministers, and the six officials."
"He will be the state pastor."
"I advise you to arrest him as soon as possible."
"Zhao Ping has poisoned your drinks. The more you jump around now, the faster you will die later."
"And there are nearly ten thousand of our bandit army outside. Even if you escape from the state capital, you can't escape Zhao Ping's layout."
"The Dawei Dynasty is coming to an end. From now on, the world belongs to Zhao Ping."
"I can also become a minister of Conglong, be granted the title of marquis, and be rich in the world, hahaha."
Yao Hong laughed very wildly.
Chaos, chaos.
The messier the better.
If he could take the opportunity to kill Chen Xinghe, his chances of survival would be greater.
"If you yell the loudest, I will kill you first."
Feng Lin was furious.
They came to claim their reward and became rebels.
How could Feng Lin, who was originally a bandit, bear such a false accusation.
What's more, it was Mr. Zhao who framed him, and Feng Lin wouldn't allow it.
Mr. Zhao is his benefactor.
Not only did he get rid of his identity as a bandit, but he was restored to a good citizen.
He even recruited him as an escort, earning him a generous monthly salary.
And he also taught him archery, fighting and so on.
Let him regard Zhao Ping as his reborn parent and never allow anyone to frame him.
Feng Lin became angry and pulled the trigger, and immediately ten arrows shot out of the air.
puff! puff! puff!
None missed the mark.
All hit Yao Hong.
In an instant, Yao Hong became a hedgehog.
His head tilted, he fell to the ground and died.
"It's killing people. The escort actually killed the officers and soldiers. Zhao Ping and the others are really rebelling. Let's go together and kill them. No one will be spared."
Someone saw this scene and screamed loudly.
The courtyard of the state capital is very large and specially designed to accommodate thousands of people.
The escorts are the heroes, and they are all seated.
In order to highlight the glory of the hero, there must be enough manpower to accompany him.
Fortunately, the left and right prime ministers and the six ministers were all accompanied by escorts. Chen Xinghe asked them to select qualified people to sit down and drink with the escorts.
As a result, there were nearly two thousand people in the courtyard.
Of course, these two thousand people are also divided into several factions.
Those who spread rumors to cause trouble and wanted to attack and kill Zhao Ping were one group, and they were the ones who kept opening their mouths to create chaos.
There are eighty escorts in one group.
Close to the wall and close to the door of the living room, they were divided into two groups, holding Zhuge's crossbows, ready for battle.
At the same time, he also listened to the movement inside the house.
Once Zhao Ping sends a distress signal in danger, they will immediately rush in to save people.
One group is in a state of confusion.
They are arranged here to accompany people drinking, chatting, and promoting the atmosphere.
Why did everyone start fighting after everything was going well?
And killed people.
What should we do?
The principals were all drinking inside the house, and the door was guarded by bodyguards, so there was no chance of going in to report.
leave?
The person in charge is still inside, how can they dare to evacuate easily.
There is also a faction that is waiting to see what happens.
That was the guard brought by Mu Shangwu.
Although he is the commander of the command department, he is not qualified to mobilize troops easily and can only carry more than a dozen guards.
These people only obeyed Mu Shangwu's orders and watched everything that happened in front of them indifferently.
"What are you still doing?"
The group that spread rumors and caused trouble spoke again, "Didn't you see that the bodyguards have surrounded the door?"
"Our superior officers are all inside. Do you want them to be beheaded one by one by Zhao Ping?"
"Hurry up and rush in with me, kill Zhao Ping, and maintain the stability of Qingzhou."
