The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 21 The People of the Bowl of Wine

Zheng Du ordered a few words, and soon some soldiers brought a long table, wine, and bowls.

Some soldiers filled empty bowls with wine one by one on the long table,
Soldiers untied the bound one by one and lined up in a line,
The old patriarch also asked a soldier to pull him to the long table.

Not only Lu Changle, but everyone present was confused,

This moody, cruel and heartless second son of the Zheng family invited people from the Lu family to drink?
It's not like his style.

Zheng Du walked to the long table and said with a smile: "The five-year-old Dongping Laojiao, old man, may I enter?"

"Dongping Laojiao is the best wine. Five-year-old Dongping Laojiao is hard to come by. The general loves the grassroots," the old patriarch said with some fear.

For some reason, the calmer Zheng Du's tone and the brighter his smile, the more chilling the old patriarch felt in his heart.

Zheng Du chuckled: "It's hard to come by, so drink more."

"Thank you, General, for your generosity," the old patriarch quickly thanked.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank." Zheng Du waved his hand and said jokingly: "The game hasn't started yet, let's say thank you after you finish the game."

Before the old patriarch asked questions, Zheng Du said longingly: "It is said that in the Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong asked beauties to accompany the guests in order to make the guests happy. When the wine glass is empty, the beauty stays; Today, we will follow the example of the ancients, and those who committed crimes will each offer a bowl of wine to your patriarch."

"The old man drank the wine of the person who toasted, and he was released on the spot"

"On the contrary, if the person toasting the wine does not drink, or cannot drink, the head will not be left"

"Oh, by the way, you are the person to be punished, not the guest. I will replace the bouquet with a bowl as appropriate."

"Wanjiushi tribe, this game is not bad, hahaha"

After Zheng Du finished speaking, he laughed unscrupulously.

"The game of generals is so interesting, it will definitely become a good story"

"As expected of a general, he came up with such an interesting game"

"The general is wise, not only giving the Lu family a chance, but also fulfilling a good story"

"Hahaha, the old man is so happy, he has a reason to drink so much good wine"

Subordinates and confidants flattered Zheng Du one after another, flattering Zheng Du in every possible way,

The complexions of Lu Changle and the members of the Lu clan changed.

Dongping Laojiao is a famous fine wine in Fujian. It is a mellow, sweet and refreshing wine.

Known as "Fujian time-honored brand, the first cellar in Bamin",
No matter how good the wine is, you can't drink too much. The bowls on the long table are all three taels.
Drinking five or six bowls is already remarkable. More than 60 people were tied up.

Even if the old patriarch drank to death, he couldn't save a few people.

This Zheng Du is not only moody, but also vicious in his intentions.

No wonder many people secretly call him the second devil.

Nick understood the game, and hurriedly said to Zheng Du: "General, you promised to forgive their sins, why don't you just let them go, God, this is too cruel."

Zheng Du's complexion changed, and he said in a cold voice: "I promised to give them a chance, and I didn't say I would just let them go. As for how many people to save and which one to save, it depends on the old man's wishes."

"Come here, it's a bit messy here, protect the godfather"

As soon as the order was given, two soldiers immediately forcibly pulled Nick to a distance, so as not to disturb Zheng Du's interest.

Lu Jinyuan rushed out and knelt on the ground: "The old patriarch is too old to drink alcohol. The villain is willing to drink for the old patriarch. Please be kind to the general and let the villain do his filial piety."

The ancestors are the pillars of the Lu family in Fuzhou, and also the sky of the Lu family in Fuzhou.
No one can lose their ancestors.

"The general is merciful, I am willing to take the place of my ancestors." Suddenly, dozens of people knelt down to petition.

A trace of impatience flashed in Zheng Du's eyes, and suddenly he kicked Lu Jinyuan in the head,

Lu Jinyuan snorted and fainted on the spot.

"I'm going to do things, I don't need you to teach me, no matter how busy people are, I won't show mercy if I don't teach you." Zheng Du said expressionlessly.

The old patriarch hurriedly shouted: "People of the Lu family, listen to me, please be quiet, no matter how troublesome, the family rules will deal with it."

It's better to save one than to kill them all.

If you really angered this temperamental second son of the Zheng family, maybe the Fuzhou Lu family would be expelled.

Lu Changle happened to be in the first place.

Walking to the long table, Lu Changle picked up a bowl of wine in a complicated mood, and put his hands in front of the ancestor,

"Old ancestor, the incompetence of the younger generation made you suffer all the time." Lu Changle said with a complicated mood.

I worked very hard to become stronger and better. Facing the powerful Zheng Du,
There is no power to fight back.

The ancestor took a deep look at Lu Changle, took the wine bowl without hesitation, carefully put it to his mouth and drank it slowly,

After drinking, turn the bowl down to indicate that there is nothing left.

Zheng Du, who was sitting on the side, simply waved his hand: "Let me go!"

"Brother Le, you've done a good job, work hard, Fuzhou Lu family, I'll see you later," the old patriarch said earnestly.

Lu Changle nodded with a heavy heart, and walked aside silently.

When walking, lift your head up slightly,

Not proud, but afraid of the tears in my eyes falling down.

The second toast was Lu Changfu, and tears fell into the wine bowl because of guilt.

The old patriarch comforted him and drank the wine in the bowl again.

The third and fourth, the old patriarch drank four bowls of wine in a row and saved four descendants of the Lu clan,
Drinking on an empty stomach and in a hurry,
The old patriarch's pale face was as red as Guan Gong's, his eyes were blurred, and his footsteps were a little sloppy.

That's Dongping Laojiao, which weighs two ounces a catty, and it's still five years old.

Lu Changle felt a little heavy, the old patriarch's quota was almost up.

There are more than 60 people waiting to toast
The fifth toast is Mrs. Mei from Erfang,

The old patriarch took a look at her, gritted his teeth, held the bowl in his hands and put it in his mouth.
I don't know how much I can drink, the toasts are all from the Lu family in Fuzhou, and it is only one who can be saved.

I don't know if it's a heavy heart, or too much alcohol,

While drinking, the old patriarch shook the bowl in his hand and spilled some wine,

Zheng Du said lazily: "The wine is spilled."

As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a flash of white light, and the sword-axe standing behind Mrs. Mei swung violently,
A head shot up into the sky, and then a headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang.

The wine bowl in the old patriarch's hand snapped down, he raised his head, and a line of muddy tears slipped down quietly.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he yelled at Lu Siyu who was a little overwhelmed with fright: "Siyu, what are you still doing, toast."

There is no time to be sad, the alcohol starts to rush to the forehead, and I am about to be drunk,

While still awake, if you drink one more bowl, you can save one more clan member.

The sixth bowl, the seventh bowl, the eighth bowl, and the ninth bowl drank fifteen bowls at the same time
In the face of life and death, the old patriarch exposed an unprecedented amount of alcohol,
After drinking fifteen bowls of wine, the old patriarch was obviously top-heavy and his belly swelled a lot.
Halfway through, the old patriarch obviously wanted to vomit, but he forcefully covered his nose and mouth with his hands, and swallowed it back.
He was afraid that Zheng Du would kill someone by spitting out wine.

When not drinking, the old patriarch swayed from side to side, as if he could fall down at any time.

But as soon as the hand touches the bowl, the whole person regains energy, and the hand is also very steady, pouring the wine into the stomach without leaving a drop,
That is drinking with life.

Second Uncle knelt down, Lu Changle ran down, Second Master Qing knelt down, the entire Lu family in Fuzhou knelt down,

Many people were sobbing.

Many soldiers who followed Zheng Du were also moved, and some soldiers turned their heads,
Couldn't bear to watch it again.

No. 16 is the old uncle Zhong in the family.

The gray-haired old Uncle Zhong walked to the long table, holding a bowl of wine in both hands, and took a deep look at the old patriarch,
"Old ancestor, I am old and useless, leave hope to the younger generation"

After finishing speaking, Old Uncle Zhong suddenly poured the wine in his mouth into his mouth.

Tears poured out of the dry eye sockets of the old patriarch "Little Bell",
I don't know if old Uncle Zhong heard it, but the knife and ax standing behind raised the knife and dropped it,
When Old Uncle Zhong's head fell to the ground, his face was calm when he died, and a faint smile could be seen at the corner of his mouth.

"Old ancestor, Xiaoping is not filial, I will be a companion for Brother Zhong on the road." Uncle Lao Ping stepped forward and said, picked up a bowl of wine and poured it into his mouth.

Another gray head fell to the ground.

"Good job, good job, you are all good boys." The ancestor who has always kept his emotions secret, couldn't help crying.

Lu Changle knelt on the ground, clenched his teeth, and clenched his fists.

For the first time this remorse,

I hate myself for waking up too late,
Hate yourself for not being strong enough.

Lu Changfu, who felt that he had sinned deeply, fell to the ground crying.

Only Zheng Du remained unchanged, humming an unknown tune while sipping wine,
You can see that he enjoys the game he leads.
