Hu Guirong raised his neck and drank the rest of the liquor in the wine jug, poured the wine in the jar with wine, took a big sip, and scolded:

"The black-hearted shopkeeper, your mother, is actually mixed with water in the scorching weather."

Wei Zhongxian turned his head to a brocade guard and said:

"Go, check it, if you find that the store is really pouring water into the scorching wait, since our family left here, this restaurant has been requisitioned by the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles."

Hu Guirong was stunned for a moment, and said:

"Actually, it's not, the old man is just angry, he thinks he's unlucky, and he has no place to be angry, so I ask this father-in-law not to embarrass them......"

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and smiled:

"Don't talk about this, let's get down to business, it's good for Lord Hu to solve our family's doubts while drinking, our family is called Wei Zhongxian, and Lord Hu is called our father-in-law Wei."

Saying that, Wei Zhongxian was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

Hu Guirong glared at Wei Zhongxian and said:

"The old man can invite you to drink, but the old man begs you for one thing, don't embarrass the students in the inn, they are all the leaders of the younger generation of students in my Northern Han Dynasty, and they are all very good talents."

Wei Zhongxian was a little curious and asked:

"Master Hu doesn't care about his own safety, but he is so concerned about those Northern Han students who sneaked into my Great Zhou, do you have no silver here, or are you sincere, our family really doesn't understand."

Hu Guirong took another sip of wine, closed his eyes and savored for a while, still with his eyes closed, and said:

"The old man is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Northern Han Dynasty, my lord claims to be the nephew emperor to the Khitan, the old man is only afraid that he will be scolded the most for my lord, and the old man himself is deeply ashamed, when did the word Han become so cheap."

"If it weren't for the word Han, the old man would have gone with his seal a long time ago, and the reason why the old man still stayed in the Northern Han Dynasty was to hope that one day, he would wipe away these shames for the descendants of my Han family."

"However, the old man did not see the slightest hope in the Northern Han Dynasty, but the Great Zhou, recovered Yanyun, forced the Liao people to go to the emperor's name, and signed the "Gubeikou Treaty" with the Liao people that was enough to humiliate the Khitan people for a lifetime.

"In the past few years, the old man has been paying close attention to the young students in the Northern Han Dynasty, hoping to see the hope of washing away the shame from among them, but the old man also knows that in such a troubled world, hoping that a group of literati will conquer strong enemies and shame the Han people, it is a fool's dream."

"Therefore, the old man thought, if there is still a country in this world that can achieve the merit of washing away the shame of the Han people, the only one is the Great Zhou."

"What the old man can do is to bring the best of the Northern Han students to the Great Zhou, let them participate in the imperial examination in the Great Zhou, and after the Great Zhou Emperor conquered the Quartet, they can also contribute to the stability of the Great Zhou court."

"However, the old man is worried that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not accept us, so the old man made this decision, Father-in-law Wei, the old man said this, will you believe it?"

Without waiting for Wei Zhongxian to speak, Hu Guirong said anxiously:

"The old man has nothing to guarantee, his reputation, head, and net worth and life are not guaranteed by him, but the old man still has to say that these Northern Han students brought by the old man, each of them is a Han nation with a heart, and they are all ashamed of being a Khitan lackey."

"After the old man has something to say, Grandpa Wei can order the arrest of the people, bring this jar of wine to the old man, and in addition, the old man begs Grandpa Wei to tell the guards not to rob the old man of the wine."

Wei Zhongxian pursed his lips and didn't speak, looking at Hu Guirong with a pair of gloomy eyes.

After a long time, Wei Zhongxian sighed and finally spoke.

"Master Hu, if our family arrests you, those students in the Four Seas Inn will inevitably be in a panic all day long, and there are even people who make radical moves, what our family said, it's not impossible to happen, right?"

Hu Guirong's expression darkened, and he said:

"It's the old man who dragged them down, and the matter has come to this point, and the old man has nothing to ask for but to resign himself to fate."

"Master Hu, hand over the roster of all the students, our family wants their real names and the roster of the person they replaced, and then you stay here, continue to drink, eat and drink enough, go back to the Four Seas Inn, and keep everything normal, can you do it?"

Hu Guirong was surprised:

"Father-in-law Wei is planning to release Hu, isn't Father-in-law Wei afraid that he won't be able to make a deal after he goes back?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said:

"Our family doesn't have the slightest intention to let you go, and our family doesn't bother to explain to you, do it, Master Hu, this is your only choice."

If you can not be arrested, of course it is good, since it has been discovered, and it is the father-in-law next to the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty who personally went out, Hu Guirong knows that it is the people who have the final say in this matter, not him.

"Thank you Hu, father-in-law, please bring pen and paper."

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone came up, and Hu Guirong wrote the roster while drinking a little wine and boiling water, and as he wrote, the old man cried.

"It's all a good son of my Han family, it's the old man who hurt you."

"Alas...... This son is quite a champion...... It's a pity ......"

"By the way, Gonggong Wei, there is a man named Li Shaoyou in the Four Seas Inn, this person is the Chang'an clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not from my Northern Han Dynasty, don't catch the wrong one when you arrest people."

After grinding for a long time, Hu Guirong finally finished writing the roster of all the lifters, and Wei Zhongxian was a little surprised, this guy actually had it all in his head.

"Well, that's it, it's all here, alas...... I'm sorry for them......"

"Master Hu, you have to think carefully, don't blame our family for not reminding you, if the person who is not on the roster is captured by us, our family will directly execute him as a spy of the enemy country."

Hu Guirong's old face was already red from drinking, and when he heard Wei Zhongxian's words, he looked at Wei Zhongxian with his eyes for a while, and suddenly grinned.

"I didn't expect that Father-in-law Wei had already figured out all of us, it was Hu who underestimated Father-in-law Wei, Hu recognized it, and there were three people, that was Hu's personal disciple, Hu wanted to let them escape overnight when he went back tonight, it seems that there is no chance, right?"

Wei Zhongxian said in his heart, our family is just deceiving you, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"Lord Hu, please rest assured, since our family has been eyeing you, none of the people you have brought and those who have yet to come can escape, I don't believe we can try."

Hu Guirong staggered to his feet, bowed to Wei Zhongxian, and burst into tears again when he got up.

"Hu can't be born in Da Zhou, it's a pity in life."

After leaning up and taking another sip of wine, Hu Guirong began to write again, crying for a while when writing a person's name, taking a sip of wine, writing another one, crying for a while, and taking another sip of wine.

Wei Zhongxian waited patiently beside him, until Hu Guirong wrote another list of names.

"That's it, there are some who can't buy an identity, but Hu also let them come, and it is estimated that they will enter the city tomorrow...... Woowoo...... Hu, I'm sorry for them......"

Speaking of this, Hu Guirong was already crying.

"Send Master Hu back, secretly surround the Four Seas Inn, you are allowed to enter but not out, if there is any mistake, you will follow our family to send the head to Your Majesty."

"Obedience."
