Generally, on such an occasion, after the dishes were served, Master Jiang would wash his hands in a golden basin on the platform and say a few words. After that, he would take a seat at the main table. After toasting with each other, this hand-washing ceremony would come to an end.
In the eyes of the onlookers, the moment the dishes were served, Zhang Tie had started to move his chopsticks, enjoying the oil, water and soup.
"Go ahead, it will get cold if you wait any longer. It's still hot now!" Zhang Tie said to his deskmate with his mouth full of the stewed venison. At the same time, he kept sweeping the table with his chopsticks.
Zhang Tie was the first one to move his chopsticks among over 200 tables.
All the others just gazed at Zhang Tie as they wondered whether Zhang Tie was really silly or didn't know the rules. At this moment, Master Jiang should be the first one to move his chopsticks. How could a guest move his chopsticks first? 'Master Jiang is washing his hands in a golden basin while others are eating? Do they really treat Master Jiang's hand-washing ceremony as a theatrical troupe performing on the platform? ' 'Watching it while eating?'
Two servants of Jiang Mansion who were not far away from Zhang Tie were going to walk towards him. Zhang Tie threw a glance at them. Closely after that, the two servants just stood there still.
At the sight of this scene, those people who wanted to stand up and teach Zhang Tie a lesson became silent. As Jiang Mansion didn't move, if they caused trouble here, Jiang Mansion might think that they were playing a two-man show with someone else to ruin the old man's good time. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt that Jiang Mansion didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Tie. Therefore, when Zhang Tie was eating, all the onlookers just watched him. They all swallowed their saliva as their throats moved.
Especially those who were sitting at the same table with Zhang Tie. Watching Zhang Tie's chopsticks messing up all the dishes, they all glared at Zhang Tie as they had long swore Zhang Tie tens of thousands of times inside.
The dishes in Jiang Mansion were really good today. Besides the chefs in Jiang Mansion, some chefs from famous boites in Youzhou City were also helping the chefs in the kitchen of Jiang Mansion. Of course, the dishes they cooked were all delicious.
Zhang Tie was really hungry since he left home last night. In almost one day, Zhang Tie had not eaten a single grain of rice. At first, he ran 3,000 miles; then, he made arrangements and dispatched troops in the Provincial Court. Now that the dishes were served, how could he wait for Master Jiang to finish washing his hands in a golden basin? Because he knew that it was a golden basin washing his hands in a golden basin. They would never be able to do it.
He had arranged everything on his side and could have started it one hour ago. However, Zhang Tie felt that it would be best if they started it together when it was the most boisterous in Jiang Mansion.
Why did it have to be at this moment? Because this was the time when there were the most people and everyone's attention was focused on it. The influence was also the greatest. If Master Jiang was taken away silently, Zhang Mushen the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province would break the Heavens Reaching Church. How could he spread the news and slap the Gobbling Hall's face? His voice wasn't loud enough. Most of the guests here today were the best witnesses for him.
Zhang Tie felt that he was becoming more and more insidious. However, he had to be insidious. Because there were too many insidious people in this world.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tie was actually a bit scared. If the Gobbling Party impeached him, the Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province would make a big trouble at once. By then, the impeachment of Heavens Reaching Church would be confirmed. By then, Huaiyuan Palace and Commander Cheng who spoke for him might also be implicated.
The time when the Heavens Reaching Church started an uprising in Youzhou Province matched perfectly with the impeachment of the Gobbling Party. If not having no evidence, Zhang Tie almost thought that the Gobbling Party and the Heavens Reaching Church had negotiated with each other. However, Zhang Tie could only think about it. Even the top three chancellors of Taixia Country dared not easily accuse the Gobbling Party of colluding with the Heavens Reaching Church. Because it would arouse great chaos in Taixia Country.
'However, everything has two sides. The Heavens Reaching Church could be the dagger that the Gobbling Party stabbed towards me; similarly, it could also be the sharp arrow that I shot towards the Gobbling Party.' The memorials of the Gobbling Party to impeach Zhang Tie could be foresighted and concerned about the country and the people; they could also be sinister frame-ups and frame-ups.
'What determines the nature of the impeachment is not the impeachment itself, but the result of the duel between me and the Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province.'
'The change in Youzhou Province hundreds of thousands of miles away could affect the trend and nerves of Xuanyuan Hill and disturb the public opinion in the world. That's politics!' Zhang Tie could not imagine this when he came to Taixia Country a few months ago. 'Taixia Country is a bigger circle of disputes. Now that I've been involved in it, many things are out of my control.'
…
When Zhang Tie was enjoying his food, some friends, acquaintances and disciples of Master Jiang had already come onto the high platform and praised Master Jiang's meritorious deeds and achievements over these years. It was the prelude and foreshadowing of the ceremony of washing hands in a golden basin. Later on, that official of the Generals and Generals Administration in Tongzhou Province also came onto the platform and fully affirmed Master Jiang's achievements in the past years on behalf of the Generals and Generals Administration in Tongzhou Province.
'I wonder whether these people would swallow their words after the identity of Master Jiang as the altar head of Heavens Reaching Church is exposed.' Zhang Tie thought mischievously.
Knights always had an amazing appetite. Additionally, Zhang Tie ate so fast that he almost finished all the dishes. When Master Jiang went to the high platform to wash his hands in a golden basin under the gaze of the public, Zhang Tie had almost eaten up 2/3 of the dishes on the table, which were in a mess.
"Erm", Zhang Tie burped as he touched his belly satisfactorily. Watching those people at the same table who were glaring at him, he said, "Eat up, if not, they will get cold. Otherwise, they will be wasted!"
'F * ck!' Those people at the same time raised their eyebrows as they even wanted to jump up and throw the plates onto Zhang Tie's head. 'This b * stard, how many days has he not eaten? He must be here to cheat for food and drinks …'
…
On the high platform, the amiable Old Master Jiang bowed to the surroundings and then straightened his back.
"Thanks for your favor, friends. This Jiang was born in a poor family. I've been working diligently for over 100 years. I'm already satisfied with what I have today. After washing my hands in a golden basin, this Jiang will also be free. I will put down my craftsmanship hammer and focus on the landscape. Before I wash my hands, according to the rules, I will ask one more thing. Is there anyone who still has a grudge with me? If there is, then I ask all of you to be my witnesses. Let us settle this now. After I wash my hands, I will not mention the past again! "
This was just a formality of washing his hands in a golden basin. Of course, those who were going to hold a ceremony of washing their hands in a golden basin would not come here to settle their unfinished scores. Of course, this ceremony could only be held after settling everything.
Of course, he still had to ask this question.
Master Jiang was very satisfied when he saw that the people below remained silent. He was about to approach the golden basin filled with clear water with a smile. Just as he was about to reach his hand into the golden roc, an abrupt and loud voice with a hint of laziness sounded from the crowd below.
"Master Jiang, please wash your hands slowly. There's an unfinished score with you!"
Hearing this voice, Master Jiang frowned, raised his eyes, and looked at the guests. The guests below also made a buzzing sound. Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice.
Right on the edge of the table, a guy slowly stood up as he touched his belly.
Of course, it was Zhang Tie.
Seeing Zhang Tie standing up leisurely, the desk-mates who were glaring at him just now widely opened their mouths as if they had seen a ghost in the daytime.
'This … this … this guy … is … is here to find trouble?' 'How dare someone find trouble in Master Jiang's washing his hands in a golden basin?'
Sensing the gazes of Master Jiang and over 200 people, those people who were sitting with Zhang Tie started to twist their butts as if they were sitting on a red-hot iron plate. If they were mistaken by Master Jiang for being on the same side as Zhang Tie, they would be treated unjustly; if they left right away, they would be as timid as mice in the eyes of hundreds of people at the same table.
Under the gaze of so many people, those guys on Zhang Tie's side could neither leave nor sit still as their faces turned as black as coal.
At this moment, of course, nobody moved their chopsticks anymore.
"Friend, you look a bit strange. Forgive this Jiang, I've not seen you before. What's the resentment between you and this Jiang?"
After two seconds of silence, Master Jiang opened his mouth. His voice was neutral and calm, like an elder. His appearance made many guests applaud him in their hearts. Master Jiang didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Master Jiang was experienced in big occasions, so after two seconds of silence, Master Jiang opened his mouth.
At this time, no one else could interrupt. The thousands of guests all opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears to listen.
"I've indeed never seen Master Jiang before. However, I'm entrusted by someone. Therefore, I have to come here today!" Zhang Tie let out a sigh.
"Friend, may I know who entrusted you?" Master Jiang asked with a smile.
"It's just 2.7 billion commoners in Youzhou Province. Now that Master Jiang wants to kill these commoners, I have to kill you!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, a chilly wind blew over the entire Jiang Mansion. Even though there were over 100 braziers, the temperature in the entire Jiang Mansion instantly dropped below zero degrees Celsius.
Soon after Zhang Tie's words, with a boom, a courtyard wall of over 300 m outside the banquet venue collapsed in a split second …
The elite subordinates of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province broke the wall like a black tide... (To be continued, please search for me? Astronomy? Novels are better and updated faster!
