A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 788
Shopkeeper Tian really has good cooking skills, and the dishes he makes are all delicious in color, fragrance and taste. The waiters serve them at a high price, and they are full of tomatoes, shrimps and crabs and other big meals.

"Commander, all generals, this is a good news for three yuan fried river prawns."

"Commander, all generals, this is the good news for three yuan boiled lake shrimp."

"Commander, all generals, this dish is a good news for three yuan stewed lake crab."

"Marshal, all generals, this is..."

Shopkeeper Tian resorted to his housekeeping skills and tried his best to fry, boil, stew, and stew. The table was full of dishes, with various designs and styles, and there were all river and lake fresh with tomatoes.He even tried to cook it in the style of Shandong cuisine, Zuo Liangyu smiled happily, nodded, rubbed his stomach and wanted to eat more.

The delicious dishes, even Zuo Menggeng, Wang Yuncheng, Lu Guangzu who don't care much about Shandong cuisine, unknowingly eat a lot.Everyone was amazed by shopkeeper Tian's craftsmanship, and Wang Yuncheng even had conflicts in his heart. When there was a shortage of food, should shopkeeper Tian be chopped up to eat?
The cups and cups were intertwined, the table was a mess, and Zuo Liangyu and the others were all satisfied after the meal. They ate the fruit after the meal comfortably, and touched their stomachs to savor the aftertaste.

Zuo Liangyu asked Shopkeeper Tian to come up, and he took a toothpick to pick his teeth, and said vaguely: "Old Tian, ​​I have lived for decades, and today's meal is the most satisfying. Remember, in the future, I will Shuai, come here, every restaurant in your restaurant must have this dish."

Shopkeeper Tian smiled like a flower on his face, he nodded and bowed his waist and said, "The villain is really flattered by what the commander-in-chief said... Don't worry, the commander-in-chief, as long as the commander-in-chief likes it, the villain gave up his old life and tried his best It can, and will satisfy you and the generals."

Zuo Liangyu hummed: "Shopkeeper Tian is so considerate, I will not treat you badly."

He said to the left and right: "Look and see."

Immediately, a personal guard took out an ingot of silver from his waist, and with the sudden sound of the wind, he threw it straight at Shopkeeper Tian. Shopkeeper Tian hurriedly turned his head, and the silver hit him on the shoulder. Shopkeeper Tian yelled, Zuo Menggeng , Wang Yuncheng and others roared with laughter.

That Tian shopkeeper seems to be a man who loves money like his life. He didn't care about the pain, and picked up the silver with his eyes shining, but he saw a snow-white official silver ingot in front of him, which was as much as 50 taels. I don't know which warehouse Zuo Liangyu snatched it from.

He was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Marshal, thank you, Marshal, you are really heroic, I look up to role models for my generation..."

Under his leadership, the staff behind him also bowed neatly: "Thank you, Commander, for your reward."

Zuo Liangyu laughed loudly, he sat down with his stomach straight, staggered, but he was too full to stand upright.

Shopkeeper Tian has sharp eyes, and hastily rushed forward to help him: "Hey, Commander, please be careful."

He graciously led the way ahead, Zuo Liangyu was very satisfied with his attitude, patted shopkeeper Tian on the shoulder, and boasted: "Old Tian, ​​you are very good."

Guided by Shopkeeper Tian, ​​who was smiling even more, he walked down the stairs slowly.His son Zuo Menggeng, as well as Wang Yuncheng, Lu Guangzu and other generals, all with their chests and bellies raised, biting toothpicks, swaggered down the stairs.

Walking to the door downstairs, Zuo Liangyu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you still have the three yuan of good news?"

Shopkeeper Tian gently slapped himself a few times, and said, "Ah, let's hit our memory, the little one has already been prepared for the handsome."

He kept yelling, and ordered the thin guy: "Ah Hu, hurry up, bring all the three yuan of good news that you have prepared, to the commander and the generals, and let them bring snacks back to the camp."

That Ahu responded loudly, and quickly entered the building, and soon, another large plate of bright red tomatoes came out.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it. It was shocking to see the bright red color at first, but after eating it, they realized that it was really good. Immediately, Wu Xueli, Lu Guangzu, Ma Jinzhong and others all took one each, especially Wang Yuncheng took two, which attracted a lot of attention. Zuo Menggeng glanced at him displeased.

He hurriedly put away most of the remaining tomatoes for his father, especially when he took one in his hand and bit another on his mouth.The personal guard brought Zuo Liangyu a horse, Zuo Liangyu wanted to get on the horse, but it was difficult, that Ahu quickly got down, cleverly put him on the horse stake for Commander Zuo, and put him on the horse.

Zuo Liangyu sat down on the horse and glanced at him with satisfaction: "Young man is not bad, he has a bright future."

That guy, Ah Humei, smiled and said: "It's a blessing for the villain to be able to serve the commander-in-chief."

Zuo Liangyu laughed out loud, and the generals beside him also laughed wildly, looking at this young man with admiration, everything about this restaurant satisfied them.

Zuo Liangyu stretched out his hand, and immediately a guard handed him a tomato. Zuo Liangyu took a bite slowly, and blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. This made Zuo Liangyu very happy. Feel.

He said to shopkeeper Tian: "The commander will come back another day, old Tian, ​​you should prepare some good news for three yuan."

Shopkeeper Tian bowed his head and said, "Master, just rest assured...the road is bumpy, so watch out."

Zuo Liangyu hummed, ate tomatoes all the way, and rode away slowly, followed by a group of generals.There are also generals and soldiers in the building with them, all of them have chests and bellies protruding, their armor is scattered, they walk crookedly, and their demeanor is fully revealed.

The generals didn't care about this, they saw Zuo Liangyu and others rode their horses crookedly away, the upstairs and downstairs were empty, and the rest was a mess.Shopkeeper Tian and a group of clerks stood in front of the building door, straightened their deeply bent waists, and the smile on Shopkeeper Tian's fat and fat face became cold and cold.

With a sneer on his face, he said sullenly: "This time the left thief will die, arsenic is also called crane top red, how can it taste so good? There are also a bunch of thief generals, and they will all die in unspeakable pain! The soldiers they poisoned, the people who were harmed by them, their spirits in heaven, can rest in peace."

The thin guy called Ahu, but there was Gu Yue who appeared in Shanxi, nicknamed Ghost Fox, and he also sneered: "The general once said that the law of heaven is clear, and retribution is not good. Evil is rewarded with evil, and good There is good retribution, it’s not that there is no retribution, the time has not yet come! Zuo Liangyu’s dog thief’s retribution has arrived, thinking about his dead state at the time of introduction, Gu felt happy!"

An intelligence officer dressed as a guy was a little worried: "Is this strategy really feasible?"

Shopkeeper Tian said: "Don't worry, this is the secret method taught by Minister Wen. I heard that it came from the general himself, and it is derived from the principle of mutual generation and restraint of all things. It is impossible to guard against!"

He even said: "Besides, haven't we tried it? The left thief is sure to die!"

Everyone was relieved, they had indeed seen the test dog, and the death condition left everyone with lingering fear.Moreover, this method was passed down from the great general, everyone's belief in Wang Dou has been deeply rooted in their bones, and they believe in it without any doubt.

He said: "Okay, the left thief will die today, without further ado, clean up, and I'll leave now! The brother in charge has already arranged a boat on the other side of Poyang Lake. I'll go to the mouth of the lake first, and then Then cross the river to Anqing Mansion..."

"Walk……"

Shopkeeper Tian waved his hand, they were all elites from the intelligence department, well-trained, and soon the entire restaurant was empty, as if this group of people never showed up.

……

Zuo Liangyu and the others chatted and laughed all the way back, satisfied with what happened today. Everyone was eating tomatoes with relish. Zuo Menggeng said, "Father, don't worry. Although the season is not right now, Jiangnan and Huguang Most of the wealthy households have hothouses, and if you order the wealthy households to pay tribute, you will always receive three yuan of good news."

Counselor Ma Jinzhong said: "People say that Huguang is familiar, and the world is full. I heard that there are many good things from the West, such as peppers, sweet potatoes, and sweet wheat, all of which are planted...but for the time being, they can only be grown in Jiangnan and Huguang. , Guangdong and Guangxi, but Jiangbei can't, the seeds can't adapt..."

Everyone talked for a while, they didn't care about Jiangnan and Jiangbei, if they hadn't eaten three yuan of good news today, they wouldn't care about this, and soon, they entered the barracks.

There were continuous camps and a big banner with the word "Zuo" written on it, which could not be seen at a glance, but the appearance of the Zuo Camp was majestic, but after entering, it was a mess, worse than Ma Ke's barracks at that time.

The people gathered in the camp were full of evil deeds and mobs. From time to time, groups of soldiers could be seen, carrying captives, screaming and crying women, laughing wildly and entering the tents to rape and humiliate, and then saw that they were tortured beyond human form. Yes, the naked woman's body was dragged out and finally thrown into the river.

Zuo Liangyu and the others didn't take it seriously, this scene has long been used to it, and they would not stop it, otherwise, how would the soldiers work hard?
After eating too much, Zuo Liangyu felt a little tired and went straight back to his old tent to rest. Zuo Menggeng also went back to his big tent to have fun. .

There are also Wang Yuncheng, Wu Xueli, Lu Guangzu, Ma Jinzhong and other pro-campaign generals gathered together and called camp prostitutes to continue their fun.At present, the intruders gather in Xiangyang and other prefectures, and do not approach the downstream prefectures. All the camps are full of outstanding prostitutes singing and dancing.

Everyone looked for their own happiness, Zuo Liangyu ate two more tomatoes before going to bed, and then slept until evening. When he woke up, he felt a little thirsty and his throat was burning. He sat on the toilet to defecate. After a while, the color of watching is quite thin, and I thought, did I eat too much at noon?
He didn't care, though, and went on to bed.

"Hahahaha, happy..."

On the side of Wang Yuncheng and others, there are more than a hundred camp prostitutes in a large tent, singing and dancing. Wang Yuncheng, Wu Xueli, Lu Guangzu and others know that it is better to be alone than to be happy together. Besides these generals, they also called many subordinates to have some fun. In this way, the emotional relationship with subordinates will be deepened.

While drinking and dancing, Lu Guangzu farted suddenly. He touched his belly and cursed, "Damn it, I'm going to the latrine."

Wang Yuncheng laughed loudly: "Could it be that Lao Lu ate too much at noon?"

All the generals laughed, Lu Guangzu rubbed his stomach, and went away cursing, he came back after a long time, his face was a little ugly, after that, he was drinking and having fun, and he was also a little absent-minded.

After a while, Wu Xueli also touched his belly and cursed: "If you join his ancestors, I will also go to a latrine."

After Wu Xueli came back, his complexion was not so good, and then Wang Yuncheng, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Shixiu and others all took turns to go to the latrine, more and more frequently each time, and the subordinates looked at each other, what happened today? ?

"I'm afraid I ate too much at noon, it really hurt my stomach..."

Wang Yuncheng staggered towards the latrine again, only to feel a burning pain in his mouth, especially nausea and vomiting in his abdomen, accompanied by convulsive pain in his limbs, what's wrong?Wang Yuncheng felt a burst of fear.

He reluctantly walked to the latrine, told his guards to wait outside, and then took off his pants, a burst of watery stool poured out, the stench was so strong that the guards outside almost vomited, they covered their noses, and quickly moved away from the latrine Yes, and then look at each other.

Wang Yuncheng squatted between the two boards in pain, with unspeakable abdominal pain. He accidentally saw that what he pulled out was blood-like liquid. He was terrified and was about to get up. A stream of blood spurted out from his mouth.

Wang Yuncheng's eyes protruded, and shopkeeper Tian's fat smiling face appeared in front of his eyes: "Poisoning, this is poisoning!...someone poisoned!"

He was terrified and was about to get up, but at this moment his whole body was weak and his footing was already unstable. Suddenly, Wang Yuncheng stepped on the wooden plank and fell into the cesspit all over the place.

The cesspit was quite deep and large, as soon as he fell down, feces, water, and feces rushed towards Wang Yuncheng. He had just yelled, and had already drank several mouthfuls of dung water in succession.

People vomited under the incomparable stench, Wang Yuncheng yelled, but every time he opened his mouth, feces poured into his mouth, making his voice indistinct. In Wang Yuncheng's mouth, he couldn't even scream.

Wang Yuncheng danced and struggled desperately in the cesspit. He wanted to grab the wooden board above, but his whole body became weak. How could he hold it?He vomited blood more and more, spat it out, and then ate it with the feces, like a landlubber thumping desperately in a cesspit.

The guards in the outer room are far away, they are smoking pipes, they just talk about which camp prostitute is the most beautiful in the camp, and they talk about which day to plead with the camp head, and get a few to play, not knowing that their master will be desperate in the dung Struggling, and then there was finally no movement from that side.

……

There were miserable screams in the tent, Wu Xueli, Lu Guangzu, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Shixiu and others howled loudly. They rolled around on the ground, their voices were extremely painful.

The poison of arsenic spread throughout their bodies, causing them to vomit continuously, and bursts of paralyzing pain flooded their hearts, causing their limbs to convulse and twitch continuously. Outsiders were secretly terrified by the pain.

Wu Xueli and Lu Guangzu began to bleed from the seven orifices, and Ma Jinzhong was so painful that his whole body was numb. He wailed intermittently and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything clearly.Ma Shixiu was already incontinent, and blood-like liquid was continuously discharged from his lower body, and the stench was unspeakable.

When the generals vomited at the beginning, their subordinates still looked at each other in blank dismay, what happened to Master Wu and Master Lu, did they all eat up their stomachs?Also, Vice General Wang has been away for so long, why hasn't he come back? Did he fall into the cesspit?

In the end, when the generals vomited blood, the tent became a mess, and all the officers shouted: "Quickly call Lang Zhong."

And those camp prostitutes also shrank into the corner in fright, and the clever ones sneaked out of the tent when everyone was not paying attention.There was a mess in the tent, and when everyone was at a loss, someone rushed in and shouted: "It's terrible, Vice General Wang fell into the cesspit..."

Just when everyone looked at each other in amazement, someone rushed in in panic: "Something has happened, something happened to Zuo Shuai and the Young Marshal!"

If there is a thunderbolt from the blue sky, everyone is stunned for a while.
