Several masters inside please le. You please sit down.”
Taizhou governor Tan Lun and his party walked into the Seven Bowls Zhai teahouse, teahouse mate will enthusiastically come forward to greet, Tan Lun and others welcomed into the teahouse lobby, found an empty table, with a white towel on the shoulders of the tables and chairs wiped again, invited a few people to be seated.
“Mate, is there an elegant seat?”
Zuo Zhen pressed the mate’s shoulder with his hand and asked, he noticed that the lobby was full of three religions and nine streams, the environment was a bit chaotic and bustling, especially the table that the mate found for them was close to the middle of the storyteller, surrounded by a lot of tea drinkers, being in the centre of the bustle, from time to time there was a burst of shouting from all around.
“Oh, no, here is quite good, we businessmen like lively, the more lively the better business.”
Tan Lun smiled and waved his hand, took the lead and sat down, this time to Jingnan private visit is to listen to the people’s feelings and public opinion, the more lively the better to listen to the news, if it is sitting in the elegant seat, it will lose the meaning of the teahouse.
When Zuo Zhen heard Tan Lun’s words, he let go of his mate and stopped asking for an elegant seat.
After Tan Lun took his seat, he beckoned to Zuo Zhen and the others, ”Don’t stand, sit, all of you sit, this boss is treating you today. You guys can order whatever you want to eat and drink, all of you don’t have to be polite.”
“Thank you, proprietor.”Tan Lun clasped his fists and thanked him, then greeted his generals and colonels and sat down in turn.
“Boss, you’re a big businessman, right? This is not an ordinary party you’re in.”The teahouse mate complimented.
“Hehe, what big business, we are just doing some small business in Taizhou Province.”Tan Lun smiled slightly.
“So the shopkeeper is to hit the capital city ah, no wonder it looks like the faction is not ordinary.”The mate said, “Boss is here to do business in our Jingnan County, right, you’ve come to the right place, our Jingnan is not what it used to be.”
“Oh, why do you say that Jingnan is not the past?”Tan Lun asked with interest.
“Oh, since Zhu Zhixian came to our Jingnan, our Jingnan is not before, you come to Jingnan business can come to the right. I won’t talk about the far away, just say that these days our Taizhou province has been haunted by Japanese invaders, how many counties have been broken and spoiled by the Japanese invaders. Boss from Taizhou, all the way to see it, but only our Jingnan County was spared. Why, it is because we Zhu Zhixian planning, to save that, yes, to save the tide, let the small Japanese head broken blood, save the Jingnan County. So ah, you can rest assured that the shopkeeper in our Jingnan business it, only have Zhu Zhixian in, our Jingnan will be as stable as Mount Taishan, you do business in Jingnan will be very rich.”The teahouse mate said with a fluttering brow, as a person from Jingnan, proud of it.
“Oh, I borrowed your good advice. Oh yeah, we’re new here and not familiar with the place. It is said that ‘Broken County Magistrate, Destroyed Magistrate’, is this Zhu Zhixian so good, can you tell us about it?”
Hearing the words of the teahouse mate, Tan Lun smiled faintly and said to the teahouse mate with a gesture of business worry.
“Good, of course good, heh, to say we Zhu Zhixian, that is three days and two nights can not finish ah ……”The teahouse mate was about to say said, but coincidentally the door again guests, then embarrassed Tan Lun and others said, “boss, I’m sorry, guests, I have to greet to go. If you want to hear the story of Zhu Zhi Xian, you can listen to the storyteller, he is now talking about Zhu Zhi Xian.”
Oh, Mr Storyteller is telling the story of Zhu Pingan?
When Tan Lun and the others heard this, they turned their attention to the storyteller who was telling the story on the stage and listened carefully.
Well, sure enough, he was telling the story of Zhu Pingan, and it just so happened that it was still the part about defending the city.
“At that time, the situation was critical, the Japanese invaders in front of the west gate were spreading over the mountains, densely packed with at least three thousand people, and when they were running to attack the city, the Japanese invaders rolled up the yellow soil, just like a demon rolling up the demon wind. The Japanese invaders were all murderous and skilled in martial arts, and to what extent were they skilled, the soldiers defending the city shot arrows at the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese invaders were able to catch them with their empty hands, which was much more powerful than grabbing white blades with empty hands ……”
The storyteller on the stage said with a frothy mouth, while saying and gesturing, it is empathetic.
“Although it’s a bit exaggerated, but there are indeed quite a number of Japanese pirates who have extraordinary skills and can catch arrows with their empty hands, we have also seen it in the Prefecture.”Zuo Zhen said softly.
Tan Lun nodded slightly, he had also seen it several times on the city top at that time and was very impressed.
“Not only did the Japanese pirates catch the arrows with their empty hands, they also threw the feathered arrows backhandedly at the city walls, shooting faster and more accurately than with a bow and arrow, and the soldiers defending the city fell down in response. The Japanese invaders scoffed loudly, and also slapped their hoods against the city wall, taunting the defenders as p*ssies, the morale on the city dropped greatly, and when it looked like it was about to collapse, Zhu Pingan, the county governor, stepped forward, and the county governor cursed shoot the motherf*cker, and bent his bow to shoot an arrow, and with one arrow he hit the hoods of the mocking Japanese invaders ……”
The storyteller said with a gesture.
Hahaha ……A burst of laughter resounded in the teahouse.
With a pot of tea and a table of snacks, Tan Lun and the others quietly listened to Mr Storyteller’s sonorous speech about the Battle of Jingnan.
“The invincible Japanese invaders touched down in Jingnan County, there were more than 3,000 Japanese invaders when they landed, and when they escaped in a mess from Jingnan at night, there were only more than 1,000 left, in this battle, under the leadership of the county honourable grand master, we in Jingnan killed at least more than 1,000 of the Japanese invaders. After the war, the county Zun Daolao did not take credit for himself, and gave the credit to each and every one of us in Jingnan, saying that we are the heroes of Jingnan, and that it is because of our fearlessness of sacrifice and our vow to fight to the death that we have defended Jingnan. Mighty, Great Master of the County; magnificent, people of Jingnan!”
The storyteller slapped the shocking wood and ended the section on the Station of Jingnan.
“Good, well said, the Great Master of the County is a cow pen, and the people of Jingnan are a cow pen.”Inside the teahouse, the crowd couldn’t get enough of listening to this section, but they never get tired of hearing it, and they shouted, urging the storyteller to say more.
“Hehe, isn’t it seven hundred and ninety-five Japanese heads that were captured? How come here became more than a thousand, this water is also too big, right?!”Zuo Zhen couldn’t help but shake his head in dissent when he heard the storyteller talk about the final number of Japanese pirates killed at the Jingnan Station.
In a burst of hoots and hollers, Zuo Zhen’s dissent was very noticeable.
As soon as Zuo Zhen’s words fell, the tea drinkers on the surrounding tables shifted their eyes to Zuo Zhen’s table.
“Moisture? Heh, you guys are from out of town, right?”The tea customers on the surrounding tables raised their heads and asked.
“Hmm.”Zuo Zhen nodded.
“Hmph, looks like you’re from out of town. Let me tell you, the men on this table have all been on the city walls and have seen it with their own eyes. At that time that scene you can not see, that is called a tragic ah, the Japanese invaders attacked the city for a day and a night, under the wall dead Japanese layer after layer, a lot of Japanese invaders have been smashed out of shape, the head is broken, at first, the Japanese invaders will be dead Japanese invaders pulled out of the burying of the burnt treatment, and then died more, simply do not care, let the pile under the city. The heads we captured were all found, and there were many others that we could not find. We all saw it with our own eyes. The number of Japanese pirates killed is definitely more than the number of seven hundred and ninety-five, it’s just that some of the heads are no longer findable, and there is still water, humph.”
The tea guest snorted coldly and said to Zuo Zhen and the others.
