Zhangjia Restaurant is a small two-story building. It is not as pompous and prosperous as the big-name restaurants in Lin'an City, and it looks quite unremarkable. The scale of restaurants like this may be as many as 100 in Lin'an City.

However, when you think about it, something is wrong. Because opening a restaurant is a business and to make money, it is logical to naturally open it in a conspicuous place in the street market in the city. Very few people would open a restaurant outside the city, and it was hidden in the woods on a hillside, as if it were afraid of being known. Anyone with a brain only has to think about it to understand that something is not quite right here.

Yes, Zhangjia Restaurant does not rely on the business of ordinary individual customers, the meaning of its existence is to let some guests who do not like exposure here quietly feast and meet and talk about things. In a way, it is similar to the private clubs of later generations. Such restaurants are hidden in the bustling areas, but they don't need to worry about their business. In Lin'an City, with a population of one million, there are many transactions inside and outside the imperial court, between officials, between officials and businessmen, between merchants and merchants, legal and illegal, cooperative and revenge-seeking, and there are many disgraceful transactions. So you don't have to worry about not having any customers come to your door. Like the location of Zhangjia Restaurant, which is both outside the city and in a private place, it is the most suitable place for a secret meeting.

Fang Zi'an tied the horse to the tree at the entrance of the restaurant and slowly approached the door. A middle-aged man in a long robe immediately greeted with a smile.

"This guest officer, dare to ask your surname, has he ever booked a banquet?"

Fang Zi'an said, "No, my surname is Fang, and I am here to attend the banquet." The guest is called Xia Liangdong, I don't know if I can come. ”

"Ah, it turned out to be a guest invited by Lord Xia, and it was rude. Fang Gongzi, please come in, Lord Xia has already made arrangements, and it is on the second floor. The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed his hand.

Fang Zi'an nodded, walked inside, took two steps, turned his head and asked, "Is Lord Xia here, are there any guests on the second floor?"

"Oh, Lord Xia hasn't arrived yet, and no one else has arrived. However, he had already sent someone to instruct the guests to lead them directly to the second floor. Fang Gongzi was the first guest to arrive. There was no one in the upstairs room yet. The middle-aged man said busily.

Fang Zi'an nodded, and walked up the stairs to the second floor. There are only two rooms on the second floor, one is dark-lit and the other is brightly lit. Fang Zi'an naturally entered the room with the lamp lit. The furnishings of the room are also exquisite, with flower and bird screens arranged around the room, and a large mahogany table in the middle, which can be seen in the light. Several delicate mahogany-backed chairs are placed around. There were two candlesticks on the table, each with three bright candles on it, and the room was lit up.

Fang Zi'an circled around the table, then sat down on a chair, and the restaurant guy brought tea, the tea was green and clear, and the aroma was fragrant. Fang Zi'an sniffed it, but didn't drink it. Just sit on the chair and quietly look out the window.

The sun had set, and the trees outside the window had become black. The night breeze blows, and the leaves rustle like the sound of the tide. In the middle of the forest, there was the chirping of mountain birds, and there seemed to be the roar of unknown beasts from afar. The whole restaurant feels like it is in a wilderness, surrounded by wild beasts. Fang Zi'an closed his eyes, as if he was napping, but his two ears moved slowly, listening to the movements around him.

I don't know how long it took, but there was movement downstairs. Fang Zi'an opened his eyes and stood up and wanted to look downstairs from the window, but he didn't see anything outside the building, only heard footsteps and talking, followed by the sound of footsteps on the stairs.

"Master Fang, I didn't expect you to come, why did you come so early. I said that it was the time of the first shift, but you came. It's really urgent, hahaha. Xia Liangdong walked in from the door with a laugh, he was wearing an official uniform, with a blade hanging from his waist, and he looked fully armed.

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Shangguan invites you, how dare you slack off." Naturally, it was going to come early. Don't you want to wait for me?"

Xia Liangdong laughed, nodded and said, "That's right, Lord Fang still knows how to be a person." ”

After that, Xia Liangdong sat down, reached out and grabbed the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. Gollum drank it in one gulp. Fang Zi'an picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"Lord Xia, didn't Master Zheng come with you?" asked Fang Zi'an.

"Oh, Lord Zheng said that he was a little delayed temporarily, and I am afraid that he will come later. It's okay, let's wait a minute. Xia Liangdong said with a smile.

Fang Zi'an nodded, looked at Xia Liangdong and said, "How is Lord Xia, how is he still dressed so neatly, the lower official is not wearing an official uniform, isn't it that this Lord Zheng doesn't like the lower official to dress casually."

Xia Liangdong smiled, took off the knife and put it on the table beside him, and said, "You think too much, I just checked the shop from Qingbo Gate, and I came here by the way, and I didn't have time to change my clothes." ”

Fang Zi'an sighed and said, "It turns out that Lord Xia hasn't seen him for a day today, so he went to inspect the station and patrol the shop." ”

Xia Liangdong nodded and said, "Yes, you Lord Fang are working so hard, and the official can't watch it, you have to go down for a walk." I still learned it from you. After a day of running, I was exhausted. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded yes, and the two of them chatted a few words without saying a word, and they didn't have anything to say. Xia Liangdong looked out the window and didn't seem to have the desire to chat, Fang Zi'an naturally couldn't afford to chat awkwardly, so he only sat there with his eyes slightly closed.

Lin Tao burst, far away from the slope of the lakeside of the house gathering place, there is a faint sound of drums. First, I beat the drum of the first watch, then the first drum of the first watch, and the second drum of the first watch, until finally I heard the sound of the second watch. Xia Liangdong, who was sitting on the chair, kept looking at Fang Zi'an with his eyes during this period, and found that Fang Zi'an was sitting on the chair with his eyes as if he was asleep, as if the old monk was in a state of mind.

"Oh, it seems that Lord Zheng can't come." Xia Liangdong said in a deep voice, "If you don't come to the second watch, you must not be able to come." ”

Fang Zi'an opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Maybe, then let's disperse." If you don't get to the second one, you shouldn't be able to get it. ”

Xia Liangdong said, "Don't mind, how can you tell Lord Fang to return on an empty stomach." The official has a treat, whether Master Zheng is here or not, the wine and food are ordered, and the two of us can eat. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled, "Yes, I ordered all the wine and food, and it would be a waste not to eat it." ”

Xia Liangdong laughed, stood up, slapped his palm, and shouted, "Serve the food, serve the wine." ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was already asleep when he waited, and when he heard the words, he immediately began to prepare, and the kitchen immediately cooked it. After a while, hot dishes were served one by one, and soon the whole table was filled.

"Lord Fang, today you appreciate your face, you don't have to be polite, eat and drink well. Here, a toast. Xia Liangdong raised his glass and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Lord Xia, Lord Xia broke the bank." Fang Zi'an picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Xia Liangdong.

"Again, this cup is to apologize to Lord Fang, I have offended a lot before. Today, let's drink and talk happily, and let go of the previous suspicions. Xia Liangdong said again.

The second cup also went down. Xia Liangdong raised the third cup.

"Lord Fang, have another drink. Lord Fang came to this office as an official, and this official did not give Lord Fang a clean sweep, which is really excessive. Today should be regarded as a breeze and dust for Lord Fang. ”

"Lord Xia is polite, okay, it's done." Fang Zi'an smiled and raised his glass, and the third glass of wine was also down.

"Eat vegetables and eat vegetables, although Zhangjia Restaurant is not a big restaurant, but home-cooked food can be cooked. This West Lake vinegar fish is very authentic. And this fried quail, which is crunchy and delicious, and absolutely delicious. Lord Fang is afraid that it is not yet

Tasted. Come, eat, eat, eat. "Xia Liangdong is attentive.

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Lord Xia seems to be a frequent visitor here, these dishes are very expensive, Lord Xia really has a lot of pockets, this table is worth a month's living expenses of ordinary people." ”

Xia Liangdong smiled and said, "Lord Fang, I can't control others. As I said earlier, in life, what we pursue is to be free and enjoy ourselves. I don't care how other people live, it's not my fault, I just care about my own life. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and nodded, and ate a piece of vinegar fish, which was really delicious.

"Lord Fang, you can actually live a comfortable life, as long as you want." Xia Liangdong said in a deep voice.

Fang Zi'an stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fried quail, but did not answer. Xia Liangdong said in a deep voice, "Lord Fang, this official still wants to persuade you, what I said, how have you considered it, can you give a happy answer." Why keep prevaricating. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled, "It seems that Lord Xia deliberately doesn't want me to have a good meal, I'm hungry, let's not talk about these things, okay, just drink wine and eat vegetables, maybe we can talk about Fengyue." Lord Xia is so wealthy, but I don't know how many concubines he has in the city hahaha. ”

Xia Liangdong put down his chopsticks and said coldly, "This official doesn't want to talk about Fengyue, he just wants to talk about things between you and me." I just want you to answer me today, whether you are willing to cooperate with me or not. There are only two choices, willing and unwilling, and the rest does not need to be said. ”

Fang Zi'an took a bite of the quail, the hot and fragrant quail meat was really delicious, and he couldn't help but praise, "It's really delicious, the dishes in this house are really good." ”

Xia Liangdong stretched out his hand and slapped the table and stood up. His eyes stared at Fang Zi'an fiercely. This slapped the table, and the wine and food on the table were churning and messy.

"Master Fang, I don't have time to mess around with you here. I drank the wine and paid for the courtesy, and I have done my best. You're pretending to be confused with me, but that's enough. ”

Fang Zi'an sat still, slowly tore open half of the quail, stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it. didn't even look at Xia Liangdong, and reached out to grab another fried quail. He said softly, "Lord Xia, you just don't want to let me have a good banquet, such a good wine and food, but you want to spoil the scenery, you have to ask these things, slap the table and slap the bench, it's really rude." ”

Xia Liangdong sneered, "Don't pretend to be garlic with Lao Tzu, today you have to give Lao Tzu a positive answer, it's useless to be weird." ”

Fang Zi'an sighed and said, "Lord Xia, you are really disgusting. What the hell do you want a reply?"

Xia Liangdong shouted, "Lao Tzu wants you to agree to cooperate with me, obediently listen to my arrangement, Lao Tzu will share some of the money he earns, and we will make a fortune together." You know that Lao Tzu wants this, what kind of foolishness is pretending. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded slowly and said, "Let me guess." Today is a Hongmen banquet, it is not at all that Lord Zheng of the fire administration asked me to come by name, there is nothing about Lord Zheng at all, but you invited me to this Hongmen banquet, right?"

Xia Liangdong laughed and said, "Smart, really smart." Yes, I came to you. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "That's what I guessed right." I guess if I agree to you today, you will let me report the list of vacancies in military salaries, and then use this list as evidence to accuse me of corruption and perversion of the law, and I will be dead."

Xia Liangdong was taken aback and sneered, "You are so smart, you can actually guess this." ”

Fang Zi'an sighed lightly and said, "That's really the case." So, if I don't say yes now, what are you going to do?"

Xia Liangdong gritted his teeth and said with a cruel smile: "Don't you like to guess, guess it." ”
