Dong Jisheng has been feeling very depressed recently, since he entered the capital city, he is very unaccustomed to it, although when he was in Song County, his position was not high, and he had to face all kinds of reasonable or unreasonable tasks assigned by his superiors, coupled with the performance he should make, he felt very pressured.

But he is much more comfortable than being an official in the capital, at least as the head of a county, in Song County, he can have the final say in most things.

But when I arrived in the capital, the big and small officials had their own backgrounds, not to mention the intricate relationships, and they had to be cautious and deal with them carefully at all times, for fear that one would accidentally offend people and not know it.

Although his current boss, because he has only recently entered Beijing, does not have his own team, which gives Dong Jisheng the opportunity to join the Qi family, he feels that it is still not enough.

Years of official career told him that it is better to find a few more backers, and the relationship that can be pulled has to be closer.

Therefore, when his wife Liu proposed to invite Lin Zhu over on the birthday of his youngest daughter Dong Yuyao, he wanted to get to know the Wang family through her, and it was best to let the youngest daughter make friends with Miss Wang.

Of course, Dong Jisheng agreed to this proposal, but he was also worried that he had a bad relationship with Lin Zhu in Song County, and he was afraid that she would hold a grudge because of this, so he would not go to the banquet. However, when I thought about it, I thought that my status is very different from the original one, and I have been in the capital for such a long time, and I know a lot of officials, big and small, plus the relationship between the main court, I think she will also give this face.

So he asked Liu to send an invitation to Lin Zhu.

Unexpectedly, although Lin Zhu sent a congratulatory gift, he refused to attend. This made Dong Jisheng very angry. In addition, when they invited the lady of the Qi family, Miss Qi asked about Lin Zhu. And the Liu family also swore that Lin Zhu would also go to the banquet that day. Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi agreed to the invitation.

It is conceivable that if Lin Zhu does not come, it will cause serious consequences to the Dong family, which will definitely make the Qi family unhappy, thinking that he has been deceived, and Lord Qi will also be disgusted with Dong Jisheng because of this, then his future will be dark.

That's why Dong Jisheng made a big fire in the main courtyard, and ordered Dong Yuzhen to call Lin Zhu over.

The next day, the more he thought about it, the more he was in a bad mood, Dong Jisheng went to Zuixianlou, the hottest restaurant in the capital.

If it's on a weekday. Dong Jisheng will not come here. Although the food here is very good, in the case of his Yulu, once or twice is fine, and many times are too many. It is also unbearable.

Although it is said that he wants to be in Song County, he has also saved a lot of money. But it took a lot to get into Beijing. In addition, when he first entered the capital as an official, he had to be cautious, so he kept a low profile.

But. Dong Jisheng went out in civilian clothes, and there were very few people who knew him, so he came to Zuixian Lou without any scruples and ordered the most well-known Zhuji sake here.

Dong Jisheng, who was drinking the wine in the cup in a small sip, couldn't help but feel a little painful, just a pot of wine cost fifty taels of silver, which was too dark.

"Good wine." Although Dong Jisheng complained in his heart, he really couldn't resist the good taste of this wine, and drank three glasses in a row before eating some vegetables.

As we all know, the drunken fairy building is the industry of the prince of Qi, so there are often some ingredients that are not common to people here. For example, special white rice.

The food made by Zuixianlou with special white rice is available in limited quantities, and in this way, it is still in short supply. But because of Prince Qi, no one is making trouble here.

Dong Jisheng was also fortunate to eat the rice steamed from the special white rice.

The grains are crystal clear, and there is a slight feeling of springiness when you eat it, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant. Dong Jisheng couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, worthy of being the prince of Qi, even such a difficult special white rice can be obtained.

Eating and eating, Dong Jisheng felt that something seemed wrong, he felt as if he had eaten this kind of rice. But it's been a long time, and he can't remember where he ate it.

He pressed this feeling to the bottom of his heart. Think about it when you get back.

Dong Jisheng felt that he had eaten a little too much, and his stomach was very supportive, and it was obviously not a good way to go back in a carriage, so he decided to walk around at will and let the coachman follow behind.

Although the weather is still very cold, the afternoon sun shines on people's bodies, and Dong Jisheng walks on the street very comfortably.

"Sure enough, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it is not comparable to the rural places of Song County." The prosperity and liveliness of the capital made Dong Jisheng sigh very much.

"Bang", suddenly someone rushed out from the side and crashed into Dong Jisheng's body.

"Ouch." Dong Jisheng didn't pay attention and was knocked to the ground.

He looked up and saw a boy of four or five years old suddenly sitting in his arms. The round eyes widened, staring at themselves.

Dong Jisheng was very angry and just wanted to reprimand him, but found that the clothes on the child's body seemed to be unusual, not only the fabric was very precious, but the ornaments on his body were not something that ordinary people could use.

Dong Jisheng helped him up and stood up himself. At this time, the coachman saw that his master had fallen and also came over. found that the culprit who made Dong Jisheng lose his temper was a four- or five-year-old child, so he wanted to teach him a lesson, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Dong Jisheng.

"Kid, where are you?" Dong Jisheng saw that although he fell, he didn't cry, but he had a good impression of him.

"Yo, young master, you make it easy for the minions to find it." Without waiting for the child to answer, suddenly two men in coarse cloth clothes came from behind, trying to hold the child's arms as they spoke.

Dong Jisheng saw that although the two of them claimed to be slaves, they did not have the humility of the slaves around them, but looked ruffian. I suddenly felt the clothes on my body tight, and when I looked down, I saw that the child was clutching his clothes tightly.

"Where are you from?" Dong Jisheng has been an official for many years, and he was once the head of a county, so there is naturally a momentum between his words.

"Who are you?" One of the men in Tsing Yi saw that he couldn't pull the child in, his eyes narrowed, and he asked unkindly. "Why are you holding on to my young master? Don't you have something unsavvy about it. ”

"Young master, go back with the little ones, otherwise the master will be angry again because you sneaked out." The other looked kind and comforting, but his voice was louder, and what he said made the people around him who were more curious about them understand the reason.

"Do you know them?" Dong Jisheng felt more and more suspicious about the two, and the children didn't act like they knew them.

Seeing that Dong Jisheng was still asking questions, the two men were a little impatient, so they wanted to step forward and forcibly take the child away.

As soon as the coachman saw that they were about to make a move, he blocked the middle of the three.

"Get out of the way." The man in Tsing Yi grabbed the coachman's arm and pushed it to the side.

Dong Jisheng saw that the two of them were menacing, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, so he knew that the two of them didn't actually know this child, and it was obvious that they had other purposes.

"What do you want to do if you don't let the young master go with us? Quickly return the young master to us. The two men shouted loudly and bullied Dong Jisheng's side.

Dong Jisheng is just a weak scholar, and he can't compete with two strong middle-aged men at all, and although the coachman can stop one person, he is obviously powerless against the other.

The man in Tsing Yi, who was not stopped, suddenly shot out and punched Dong Jisheng in the abdomen.

In the past, it was impossible for Dong Jisheng to do such a righteous and courageous thing, but today he drank some wine, and the alcohol made his previous depression suddenly turn into anger, as if he wanted to use this man in Tsing Yi as a punching bag to express his unhappiness yesterday.

He protected the child behind him and quickly blocked the fist of the man in green clothes with his hand.

However, his luck was obviously not very good, and he was still punched in the stomach by the man in Tsing Yi.

"Oh." The stomach hurt so much that it almost made Dong Jisheng vomit all the food he had just eaten. However, it also made him more aware that the two were not good people, and this child was not the young master in their mouths.

Their tactics were clearly trying to tie the child up. Traffickers?! Dong Jisheng's mind suddenly thought of this.

Human traffickers are an indelible black shadow in Dong Jisheng's official history, and he stayed in Song County for six years, also because a group of human traffickers were in trouble in the township under his jurisdiction, and the most important thing is that he actually kidnapped the children of a large family, and this family happened to have an old relationship with his superior prefect.

The child was rescued through the help of the prefect, but it also caused damage to Dong Jisheng's career, and the prefect thought that he was ineffective in governance, so he stayed in Song County and failed to get promoted.

So when he reacted that the person in front of him was a human trafficker, his brain was hot, and he punched the man in Tsing Yi in the face.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't expect Dong Jisheng to fight back, but with years of fighting experience, he quickly dodged Dong Jisheng's fist, and the two really fought.

Dong Jisheng was basically pressed and beaten by him, he wanted to shout out that he was an official very much, but he was punched in the face by the man in Tsing Yi, and he couldn't speak. However, the man in Tsing Yi couldn't please him, and his face was about to be scratched by Dong Jisheng.

The people around them didn't understand why the four of them were fighting, and they didn't dare to rush forward to help.

Dong Jisheng felt that he was about to die, it was too painful, and every punch from the man in Tsing Yi hit his body, which made him feel like he was in pain. The strength of the wine had passed, and the physical pain was becoming more and more obvious. My physical strength is gradually exhausted.

But when he saw the child behind him, he felt that he couldn't let the traffickers succeed like this.

"Young Master!" Just when Dong Jisheng felt that he couldn't support it, a high-pitched scream came.

Dong Jisheng and the four of them were quickly surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.

The two men in Tsing Yi saw that the situation was wrong and wanted to run, but they were quickly caught.

At the same time, someone also arrested Dong Jisheng and his coachman.

"Take it away." One was obviously the leader and said in a rough voice.

"Wait," Dong Jisheng struggled to free himself from his captors, but his strength was too small. "I'm Dong Jisheng, who are you?" (To be continued......)
