This is the first time in all these years that Gao Pragmatic has met such an arrogant person!
Thinking back to the time when Feng Bao was the favored eunuch of Concubine Li, the chief ceremonial supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory, no matter how much he wanted to kill his uncle and nephew of the Gao family behind his back, at least he had to pretend to be polite when he was in front of him. . Unexpectedly, a new steward of the Ministry of War would dare to ignore the majesty of his Xinzheng Gao family.
Gao Pingshi laughed loudly, walked down the steps slowly, and asked with a smile: "You mean, you want me to give up my place?"
The butler was so embarrassed by Gao Pragmatic's laughter, but he had been following his master all these years, whether in Jiangxi or Guangdong and Guangxi, where was he not praised to the heavens? I have long been used to publicity, but I have never met someone like Gao Pragmatic who obviously has no intention of giving face. I couldn't help but straighten my face and my voice became colder: "Why, my master can't ask you to be a filial and honest person? "
Gao pragmatically said calmly: "If we meet on the street and your master plays the avoidance card, there is nothing to say. He is a minister and I am just a minister, so naturally I have to avoid it. However, there is no rain shelter in this Buddhist temple. , the country and the dynasty don’t have any regulations saying who to avoid.”
The butler's face became even more ugly. He stared at Gao Pragmatic for a while and said coldly: "Then don't regret it!"
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand casually: "If you can express your position on behalf of your master, then I might as well say it directly. I will return your words exactly as they were said."
The housekeeper snorted angrily, looked around, and saw that all the servants of the Gao family had evil expressions on their faces.
As soon as he left, Liu Wei rubbed his hands excitedly and asked Gao pragmatically expectantly: "Mr. Gao, is there a fight?"
Gao Pangshi was thinking about what to do next. Hearing his sudden question, he couldn't help but be startled. He thought to himself: He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, the immediate boss of the generals of the country. You are just sitting in a small school in Nanjing. You are so scared. Dare to hit him? I probably won't die if I hit him, but you can still survive if you hit him?
Before he could answer, Liu Xin had already stopped her eldest brother, who was bent on fighting: "Brother, why are you so crazy! Master Gao is naturally not afraid of him, but you are just a pawn under his command. Do you want to be liberated by beating him?"
"Oh... that's true." Liu Wei sighed, looking unhappy: "Looking at the look of his butler, you can tell that this guy is not a good guy, and he can't even fight him. It's really unlucky!"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Brother, what are you in a hurry for? Mr. Gao has his own opinions, just watch it."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: This girl actually learned how to provoke... However, this time she can make you proud.
He made up his mind and smiled slightly: "Ms. Liu thinks highly of me. I'm just a civil servant. I don't have any opinions. I just feel that everything can't escape a rationale."
Liu Xin smiled slightly, but said nothing more.
However, Gao Jingshi waved to Gao Jue and called him to him. Fu Er said a few words to him. Gao Jue nodded repeatedly and took the order.
Gao pragmatic tilted his head, intending to think about whether he had missed anything, but unexpectedly, the white-faced eunuch who had been seen in the main hall ran out, nodded and bowed to Gao pragmatic and said: "Gao Guan... Mr. Gao, my two young ladies Let the younger one go back and ask why the servants who took them back to the house haven't come yet, and they said that since Mr. Gao is here, no one can offend them, do you think?"
Gao Pingshi thought to himself: I'm busy right now, and these two mysterious little girls are here to join in the fun. It's really troublesome. But forget it, anyway, a sheep is watching, and a group of sheep are watching. I didn’t intend to give Ling Yunyi this face. It doesn’t matter if I pay more attention to the two little girls. What’s more, judging from the tone of the two little girls talking, it’s always It seems that they really have something to do with me. Could it be that they are the nieces of an old friend of my third uncle?
After thinking about it, Gao Pragmatic's response was not slow, and he nodded solemnly: "I understand, go ahead."
The eunuch said quickly: "Don't worry, I will come back as soon as I go. It won't take long."
Gao Pragmatic said "hmm" and said nothing more.
But it was said that Ling Yunyi's steward ran out in a hurry, and did not look at Gao Pragmatic's servant who stayed at the gate. He ran to a team of more than two hundred people, walked up to a large sedan chair with twelve carriages, and With a sad and indignant face, he said: "Master Bu Tang, this Buddhist temple has not yet been completed. Only the main hall has been covered, but inside there is a new man Xiaolian who calls himself Gao and takes a few servants to take shelter from the rain. Seeing that he was about to leave, the younger one said, So I told him that the military master has come all the way to take up his new post, and time is urgent. Please give him a moment, who knows...who knows..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be hesitant. What are you afraid of?" A majestic voice came from inside the twelve-carriage sedan, with a rather impatient tone.
"Yes." The butler looked like he was about to cry: "That filial piety is extremely rude. He said that this is a Buddhist temple and it is not official. Not to mention the minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Guo Ge came here in person. , and he still refused to let me go! He even said..."
The voice in the twelve-carriage sedan chair was not only a little louder, but also extremely stern: "What else can you say?"
"You also said, 'Today you are the Minister, but I will not be the Yuanfu tomorrow'! Sir, this person is really rude!"
The person in the sedan laughed angrily: "Isotari Gensuke? Haha, what an Idori Gensuke! It seems that Honbu Hall really met a luxurious person today. Okay, okay, Honbu Hall will give this Idori Gensuke a To save face, come and meet him in person!"
The curtain of the twelve-carrying sedan was suddenly opened. The butler sneered, but lowered his head and quickly handed over a brocade stool. A long-bearded old man wearing a red silk flying fish suit came out of the sedan. He got off the sedan chair and stood up on the brocade stool, glanced coldly at the gate of the Buddhist temple, waved his hand expressionlessly, and ordered: "Go, bring this 'different day Yuanfu' to the Honbu Hall and ask him to come out. The Honbu Hall will come out today." I just want to have a good look at Yuan Fu’s style.”
A middle-aged man in his forties stood next to the twelve-carriage sedan, clasping his fists and saying, "Yes, Bu Tang!" Then he turned around and shouted to the people behind him: "Master Bu Tang has an order: attack the Buddhist temple. , arrest that person and come out to question him!"
"Here! Got the order!"
It turned out that among the more than two hundred people who accompanied him, there were actually more than a hundred who were dressed as armed servants, and all of them carried knives and armor, and some of them also carried blunderbuss.
When the master of the department saw them charging in with blunderbuss, he felt moved and shouted again: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone stopped quickly, and the housekeeper said anxiously: "Master, if you lose your prestige now, I'm afraid there will be some gossip in the capital..."
The master of the department glared at him: "The department wants you to teach?" Then he snorted coldly: "It's just that that person is a traitor after all. He can teach you a lesson, but killing him can't! You leave the blunderbuss behind, and you can't." Don't use a knife or a gun on him, just bring him!"
The housekeeper asked unwillingly: "What about...his servants?"
"Do those people also have fame?" the minister said coldly.
The housekeeper understood and winked at the head servant, and a group of people immediately shouted and headed towards the Buddhist temple.
