"in this way……"
Duan Zhigan was brooding for a while, but when he inspected the civil and military officers, he saw the generals bowing their heads and the civil servants nodding. Duan Zhigan couldn't help but smile slightly, turned to Yang Ping and said, "I will stay in office for three days."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Ping, who was still paying homage to the civil and military personnel, suddenly beamed with joy. He even hurriedly walked out of his seat and saluted Duan Zhigan: "Thank you so much, General, for caring about people's livelihood! The common people cannot repay this kind of kindness. I am willing to pay it forward." All labor insurance and food consumption during this period.”
"Eh--" Duan Zhigan scolded him, flipping off his big cloak and walking down the banquet stage: "Yang Shen's loyalty is admirable. If you do this great gift again, I won't be polite."
As he spoke, Duan Zhigan came closer and helped Yang Ping up.
"Yes..." Yang Ping felt embarrassed, and then bowed to Duan Zhigan before slowly retreating to his seat.
"Huh." Duan Zhigan smiled slightly, then waved his cloak, raised his hand proudly and said, "Bring the wine!"
The wine waiter hurriedly paused, then came quickly and presented the wine bottle in his hand.
"Huh." Duan Zhigan held the bottle and looked around, then smiled and raised the bottle to the outside world: "It's rare to stay here today, so I'll just get drunk and rest!"
Uh-huh!
At this moment, all the sergeants in the courtyard immediately stood up with their bowls raised, toasted to the moon and said: "You will rest after you get drunk!"
Wow!
Seeing this formation, not only the servants who were preparing for things in the courtyard were frightened and retreated, but everyone in the hall also laughed and raised their drinking utensils to drink together: "You'll have to get drunk before you stop!"
Gu, Gu...
Not only Duan Zhigan planned to drink it all in one bottle, but all the sergeants and squires also drank heavily. It was said that they could not suppress their pride.
"Haha——" Duan Zhigan showed the empty bottle, and even the soldiers in the courtyard looked at each other and laughed: "Haha, hahahaha!"
Feeling the military sentiment, Duan Zhigan couldn't help but grin, and then swept away his cloak and returned to his seat: "You don't need to be polite anymore. If you have wine, drink it, and eat meat if you have it..."
Having said this, Duan Zhigan also sat down and smiled leisurely: "I have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Yes..." Everyone bowed their heads in unison, and then sat down one after another.
But before the sommelier opened the altar and filled the bottles for Duan Zhigan, Liu Pingkuan took a furtive glance and thought hard about making a decision. Then he gritted his teeth and turned around to kneel down to Duan Zhigan. Then he knelt on the ground angrily and gritted his teeth: " The common people have a grievance! General, please make the decision for the common people!"
Wow!
As soon as this move came out, all the soldiers were shocked, and Qian You and other squires in the town even frowned.
But when Duan Zhigan frowned slightly and put down the wine bottle, he saw Qian You glanced sideways at the other party's expression, then frowned and put down the wine bottle in his hand, and drank to Liu Pingkuan: "Liu Pingkuan! You! I didn't argue with you before barging into the banquet, so I don't know what grievances you have that you shouldn't tell! You have to come here to cause trouble at this time!"
Speaking of this, the more he talked, the angrier Qian Youyou became, and he slapped the case with his big hand, then turned around and shouted: "Come here! Get out!"
"Eh-" However, Duan Zhigan gently raised his hand to persuade him, which made Qian You fearfully clasp his hands and turn sideways to obey.
The moment was so oppressive and so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. Liu Pingkuan was so frightened that his body and mind were shaking, but he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to stay calm.
Seeing this, Duan Zhigan couldn't help but smile, and then he picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into the cup to drink: "Your Excellency has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Yes, yes..." Liu Pingkuan lay down again, and then peeped at Duan Zhigan, but it was not until the other party raised his head and drank a drink that he lowered his eyes in fear and said: "General, general, I'm a common man. There is a real injustice…”
At this point, Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but peek at Duan Zhigan, but when he saw that Duan Zhigan was just minding his own business and pouring wine slowly, he carefully peeped at Duan Zhigan and said, "But there are many people at the banquet, and the common people are worried that there will be too many eyes." Miscellaneous, I'm afraid... it will ruin your reputation."
Duan Zhigan twitched the corner of his mouth in an intriguing way, then shook his head and put down the wine bottle, and then said while raising the barbarian for a drink: "But it doesn't matter."
"Yes..." Seeing that the other party drank all the wine in one gulp, Liu Pingkuan hurriedly lowered his eyes and lowered his head. Then he said with flashing eyes and careful consideration: "I have a son-in-law named Ling Yunzhi."
As soon as these words came out, all the squires frowned, but Duan Zhigan only lowered his eyes to pour the wine and said nothing else.
Feeling depressed, Liu Pingkuan couldn't help but swallowed dryly, then lay down lower and said: "This person seems to have good conduct, but in fact, he is actually a bandit in the mountains, on the run..."
Hearing this, Qian You immediately gritted his teeth and became angry, while Yang Ping even gnashed his teeth and slapped the case angrily, pointed at Liu Pingkuan's nose and cursed: "Liu Pingkuan! You have to know what is good and what is bad! Compare your heart to your heart. Now, compared to someone like Ling Yunzhi, you can be described as a humble villager! Now you still dare to make up nonsense here, I see I won’t give you any respect!"
At the end of his words, Yang Ping only glanced at him, then picked up the wine bottle and threw it at him, but Liu Pingkuan only hurriedly turned sideways and narrowly avoided it.
Snapped!
The wine bottle fell to the ground and poured out, but Liu Pingkuan knelt down even lower and asked Duan Zhigan for help in a trembling voice: "Please tell me, General!"
"Dog thief!" Yang Ping was furious and was about to rush over to teach the man a lesson, but Duan Zhigan raised his hand to stop him: "Hey——"
"General..." Yang Ping hurriedly turned around and clasped his hands, but he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stared sideways at Liu Pingkuan.
Duan Zhigan shook his head slightly and gave up. Then he sat down and said sadly, "Yang Shen, please don't get angry. Just listen to what he says."
"Scoff!" Yang Ping gritted his teeth and retorted angrily. Then he only stared at Liu Pingkuan hatefully, then suppressed his anger and bowed his head and replied: "Yes, General."
Although Yang Ping sat down with a courtesy, he was really angry, so he grabbed the wine bottle from the wine waiter and drank heavily.
Seeing this, Duan Zhigan couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and then raised his head to Liu Pingkuan: "Speak."
"Yes..." Liu Pingkuan lowered his head, but then fell silent, and then he said carefully: "This person, I don't know how many desperate acts this person has been involved in, he came with a bloody sword. , but the grassroots people didn't know the cause and effect at the time, but when they saw the other person was lonely and miserable, they had kind thoughts and took him in, but, who knew..."
When he said this, Liu Pingkuan suddenly felt sad and couldn't help crying, which made the military members silent and angry, gnashing their teeth, especially the good old man Yang Ping, who slapped the wine bottle on the banquet table with anger.
Bang!
Seeing that Yang Ping was so jealous of the other party, Duan Zhigan couldn't help but shake his head silently, and then turned to look at Liu Pingkuan.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..." Liu Pingkuan wiped away his tears miserably, and then he knelt down on his hands and knees and cried: "I had good intentions to take him in, but unexpectedly, instead of not knowing what he wanted to repay, he forced my little girl to drink and sleep with him!"
At this point, Liu Pingkuan clenched his fists in grief and anger, and said through gritted teeth: "My little girl doesn't want to, and the grassroots couple even resisted in anger! But they were defeated by Ling Yunzhi's vicious and brave spirit, and were defeated by Ling Yunzhi. Knocked unconscious on the spot! And the little girl...the little girl Liu Yue was also forcibly taken by the other party..."
The more Liu Pingkuan talked about it, the more miserable he became. Later, he couldn't help but burst into tears and cried out to the heavens and the earth. Then he wiped his tears and cried: "If this were not the case, how could ordinary people betroth their beloved daughters to such well-dressed beasts out of desperation? …”
"You're just talking bullshit!" Yang Ping was furious and slapped the case with his halberd angrily. Then he hid his feet angrily, then gritted his teeth and bowed to Duan Zhigan, clasping his hands and bowing: "General Duan! This man! You're talking nonsense! None of what you said is true! Please tell me, General!"
At this moment, Qian You, who had been looking at Liu Pingkuan gloomily, gritted his teeth, turned to Duan Zhigan, bowed his hands and worshiped: "General, what Uncle Yang said is absolutely true."
Speaking of this, Qian You couldn't help but stare at Liu Pingkuan gloomily, and said with disdain and anger: "Qian thinks that he loves money as much as his life, and likes to be in power and wealth, but compared to this person... he is really committed to his life. Marrying in a brothel is worse than the covetousness of an old bustard!"
"Huh." A military attache couldn't hold back his laughter, causing Shi Chongrui to roll his eyes and shake his head after looking sideways.
"Huh." Seeing the two people's reactions, Duan Zhigan couldn't help but smile. Then he rolled his sleeves and turned his hand, picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine himself: "Go down."
As soon as these words came out, everyone else turned to look at Liu Pingkuan, but Liu Pingkuan didn't know it and was still lying there wiping tears.
The wine was filled, but the person did not move. Duan Zhigan couldn't help but shake his head, so he raised his glass and drank: "What you said..."
It wasn't until he finished his drink that Duan Zhigan looked at Liu Pingkuan when he put down the Kongjue: "I know how to investigate."
"Yes." Liu Pingkuan finally came to his senses and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, General..."
However, Duan Zhigan suddenly smiled, looked at Liu Pingkuan with a smile and said: "If what you say is true...he can't run away."
"Yes, thank you General, thank you General!" Liu Pingkuan thanked him in surprise, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
Seeing this, Qian You and Yang Ping immediately gritted their teeth, but they were not angry and could not forgive themselves.
But at this time, Duan Zhigan smiled slightly again, and said with eyes full of tigers: "But, if he is upright... you - whether alive or dead."
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of all the squires shrank immediately, and Liu Pingkuan even trembled physically and mentally, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Huh!" Yang Ping chuckled gloomily, not to mention how relieved and happy he was when he looked at Liu Pingkuan's trembling body.
The other squires also shook their heads slightly, but Qianyou solemnly took off the hand-to-hand ceremony.
Seeing that the other party did not express his position, Duan Zhigan couldn't help but smile slightly, then lightly waved his sleeves and turned his hands, raised his glass and said, "What do you think?"
"Hmm." It wasn't until Duan Zhigan finished his drink that Liu Pingkuan trembled and said, "Yes, as long as the general checks and confirms it, the common people will have no complaints!"
"Tsk!" Yang Ping sneered disdainfully, took off his formalities, sat down with his sleeves rolled up, and began to pour and drink wine on his own...
…
Outside Qian's house.
Liu Pingkuan walked out of the hall quickly, but he kept his head down and his waist down, with his hands in his sleeves. He did not dare to respond or make eye contact with the cold looks from the banquet sergeants.
Liu Pingkuan was discharged from the hospital in a hurry, but he did not dare to stop until he was far away from the door of Qian's house.
There are countless evil and greedy people, and there are many people under the moonlight.
The panic in his heart and the cold sweat on his forehead became more intense under the witness of the bright moon...
And the celebrating mansion behind them also drove him away...
