Chapter 239: Going to the Feast

Shuttling through all the worlds, Li Mudao Mountain has gone a lot of fire, and Li Mu has not yet taken the power struggle of a small county town.

Although there was a reminder of Gao Sheng, Li Mu, who was bold and bold, had no excuse to refuse no matter what, so he could only respond to all changes with the same and go upstairs to the banquet on time when the time came.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, as soon as Li Mu entered the private room, the first thing that caught his eye was that he was in a high position, and the farthest away from the door sat the county magistrate, and on his right hand was the head of the Gongcang household Sancao, and on the left hand was the magistrate's staff and a vacant seat for the wine and food.

It was a lively atmosphere that was touting each other, but with the appearance of Li Mu, it immediately came to an abrupt end, and they were speechless. Wei Zhixian, who didn't want to be cold, saw Li Muyi go upstairs, hurriedly stood up, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze, and walked over enthusiastically and pulled Li Mu into the seat.

When Li Mu sat down and Wei Zhixian, who had green leaves and golden flowers pinned to his official hat, he looked around, and then said with a smile: "Lord Li, a few days ago, everyone was busy with official business, and I didn't have time to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Li, so I hope don't be surprised."

Although our Liang County is small, it is adjacent to the border and is really close to the Mongol pastures, so we need to be strictly defended so as not to be taken advantage of by the Mongols. Today, you adults have nothing to do, and it just so happens that the official has no government affairs to deal with, so I specially invited Master Li to come over and have a chat.

Master Li, you are welcome, just treat it as our private gathering, and there is no need to be stressed. Well, not much to say, everyone can work together in Liang County, which means that we are very fateful. For the sake of this fate, the official drank it all, and everyone drank this cup to the full. ”

"Your Excellency. Where to speak. Able to work under the hands of adults. It's really an honor for us. ”

"Adults are humble and sympathetic to their subordinates, and we can do things as adults, which is really a blessing from the previous life."

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't need to say more, your lordship is like our parents, and you care for your subordinates, and this glass of wine should be drunk in one go. Good to repay the grace of the adult. ”

……

As soon as the magistrate Wei Ting said that, the three Cao of Gongcang Hu were like a tide of sycophants, and they all blushed and showed their loyalty. Only the magistrate on the right side of Li Mu's hand didn't speak, but just looked at Li Mu with his eyes.

Li Mu saw everyone's performance in his eyes, but he sneered in his heart.

If it's a private party, why do you all come in official clothes? There is no pressure to call people to the banquet, but they can't hold back their attitude so quickly.

However, Li Mu didn't want to be a thorn, so he followed the staff's gaze. Picking up the wine glass, I was about to say a few random nonsense. At this time. With a hearty burst of laughter, the door of the private room was pushed open, and it turned out that it was the county lieutenant Jiang Hai who broke in with his subordinates Sancao and an old acquaintance of Li Mu.

Uninvited and extremely rude.

In addition, the society of the Two Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts.

Seeing that the county lieutenant and others were showing off their might, Gongcanhu Sancao was eager to protect his heart, and immediately stood up and scolded the other party. Most of Jiang County's subordinates were big and coarse, and they were all pulled up by this Jiang Hai, and they immediately scolded each other, and a good banquet instantly turned into a chaotic battlefield.

Watching coldly, Li Mu was silent, in the middle of the storm whirlpool, his face was extremely calm, and there was no sign of panic.

has been in the officialdom for many years, Li Mu's performance, the nearly fifty-year-old magistrate Wei Ting saw it in his eyes, although he was more vigilant in his heart, he still shouted angrily: "Shut up!" What is noisy, what kind of system. Today, the official is picking up the wind and washing the dust for Lord Li, if you don't come to Jianghai, forget it, why do you want to make trouble? ”

"Troublemaker? Lord Prefectural Commander, what do you say about that? For Lord Li, you didn't inform me of such a big thing, and it became my fault if I didn't come. Fortunately, it happened to be in time today, and a few of our brothers came out for dinner and chose this restaurant.

No, when I heard your voice downstairs, I naturally came up to say hello. However, since Master Li is also here, my little brother was offended a lot before. I also brought people today, Wang Jian, the six boys of the Wang family, quickly compensate Lord Li.

After all, we all work together in the same place, and if the Mongols come in the future, maybe we will have to fight the enemy together. Why bother to look outside for a little thing at the city gate? Come on, everyone toast this toast, as if nothing had happened. ”

Since Jiang Hai entered the room, he was like the master, not only instructing the shopkeeper to add a few cases, but also arranging his subordinates into the banquet.

It is clear that if you don't take the county order in your eyes, such rudeness is definitely a serious crime if it is placed in the place where Gyeonggi is close to the Son of Heaven. But after all, this is Liang County, a border county, with strong folk customs and respect for the strong. The literati class also had to rely on military attachΓ©s to defend their territory and soldiers to defend their homeland.

Jiang Hai is so rude, Wei Zhixian is so good at cultivating a good bearing, he is obviously extremely dissatisfied, but there is no unhappiness on his face, he took Jiang Hai's words, and said with a smile: "I see! Lord Li, the county lieutenant is also well-intentioned. Our own family members are all for the emperor and for the well-being of the people, and all we ask for is that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the homeland is intact.

And now that the Mongols are powerful, we Song people should unite more and not intrigue over a trivial matter. Come on, Master Li, Wang Xiaoliu, drain this glass of wine, let the past pass! ”

What the magistrate Wei Ting said was completely different from what he actually did. The mutual scolding of the civil and military classes just now is still in front of him, and the magistrate Wei Ting can treat it as if he didn't see it, and laugh seriously.

With such a thick skin, Li Mu said with admiration: "My lord, everyone, the lower officials have just arrived, and they have offended a lot, so please bear with me." Brother Wang, the county commander is right, everyone is from the Song Dynasty, and the foreign enemy is current, so it is natural that they should join forces with the outside world.

Our family is fighting for power and profit, and there is constant infighting, didn't it make the Mongols pick up the cheap and watch the jokes. Brother Wang, ladies and gentlemen, the wine is also getting cold, so the lower officials will do it first as a respect. ”

A good banquet, the magistrate and others came with excitement and returned disappointed. After barely having dinner with the county lieutenant and others, this Weizhi County took his staff and Gongcanhu Sancao home first under the pretext of not being able to drink too much.

Seeing Li Mu standing alone at the door of the restaurant, the sixth child of the Wang family who had been following him was also sullen, and seeing that it was still early after eating, Jiang Hai, who was not in a hurry to go home, took his brother and invited Li Mu: "Lord Li, these days, I see that you are doing business except for business. I don't come out to play much, although our Liang County is small, we have everything we should have.

You are new to the county, I guess you haven't visited the county well, while everyone is here, I'll be the east tonight, and everyone will change places to have fun? ”

It is too scrupulous and laborious to talk to the literati, and it is indeed not as comfortable as the words of the people spoken by the county lieutenant in front of him.

Even if there was a Wang Jian in the team who didn't agree with him, Li Mu didn't pay too much attention to it, gladly accepted the invitation of the county lieutenant, walked a few streets, and arrived at the favorite place for men in the county. (To be continued.) )
