In the private room of the Furong wine shop, the aroma was ethereal, the pot of tea on the round table had dried up, Lu Zuo played with the tea cup in his hand with great interest, and Lu Zuo just smiled at Fan Enyu's question and did not answer. Lu Zuo slowly stood up, came to the window, slowly pulled up the bamboo curtain, the moonlight outside the window slipped into the house with the cold wind, a chill hit, the silver moonlight overlapped with the lights in the house, reflected on Lu Zuo's face! He inadvertently tightened the cloak on his body, then looked at the bright moon on the eaves, and said lightly: "It's going to be the New Year soon, give a generous gift to a friend!" ”

The second monk Fan Enyu was puzzled, and looked at Yin Ji, Yin Ji seemed to have already understood the answer, but he just smiled and didn't answer. Fan Enyu looked at the two masters and apprentices who were chattering with gods, and he didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, although he didn't know what they wanted to do, but he surprisingly trusted Lu Zuo.

Just a few steps away from the corridor, in the private room, Xia Tong sat down indignantly, drank the glass of wine on the table in one gulp, and muttered in his mouth: "Damn, it's been eight lifetimes of bad luck." ”

At this time, Li Gongzi hadn't gone back yet, and walked behind Xia Tong with his face covering Ziqing from outside the curtain, embarrassed to say something for a long time.

Wu Gongzi and the others also stood across the table with a bored expression, and no one dared to sit down.

"Sit down!" Xia Tong calmed down, took the chopsticks in his right hand and pointed to the food on the table, "Continue to eat and drink, eat ......" But when he was about to put down the chopsticks to pick up the dishes, the meals on the table were all leftovers, and he couldn't even clip a few dishes, Xia Tong was angry again, and threw the chopsticks directly on the table, "Damn ......" scolded several swear words in a row.

Li Gongzi ordered his little servant at this time: "You go and order the kitchen to serve good wine and food, we won't get drunk tonight or ......."

"No need, no need, it's boring......" Xia Tong interrupted him, "It's better to disperse earlier!" ”

Li Gongzi looked at Wu Gongzi with an embarrassed face, Wu Gongzi and Xia Tong had known each other for several years, and they knew Xia Tong's personality well, so they glanced at him. Li Gongzi understood, continued to come to Xia Tong's side with a pleasant face, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother Xia, I will be the east tonight, and the little ones will accompany you together at night!" ”

Wu Gongzi also chimed in: "Brother Xia, if you want to stay and eat wine, the little one also has something to say." ”

Xia Tong shook his head and said indignantly, "Let's all sit down." ”

Three or four people sat down again, and Li Gongzi's servant hurriedly ran out to hand over the back kitchen to serve the food. Suddenly, the table full of good wine and good food was already full. The little girl smiled and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to continue to call a few girls?" ”

Li Gongzi looked at Xia Tong, Xia Tong seemed to be in a much better mood, but he still waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it later!" ”

After a few glasses of wine, the depression in Xia Tong's heart rose again, and he sighed from time to time when he looked at Li Gongzi's appearance with a blue nose and swollen face.

Wu Gongzi saw the clue and said with a smile: "Brother Xia doesn't have to worry, you are an official and a businessman, so that his father Shangshu is admired by thousands of people, what is his father!" Isn't his annual tax money in charge of Lord Shangshu! ”

Xia Tong's heart moved when he heard this, yes! You can't do it openly, but you can't do it secretly!

Li Gongzi also said with a smile: "Brother Xia doesn't know, didn't Fan Enyu say that he wanted to buy land in the southern suburbs!" ”

"That's right! So what? ”

"The seller of that land, I know my little brother."

Xia Tong took a sip of wine and stared at Li Gongzi, "What do you mean?" ”

"Hey...... That's my own home, it's my uncle's land. Those few pieces are honest, the feng shui is excellent! My father tried to buy him many times, but my cousin refused, and each time he sent us away at a sky-high price. Now that the Fan family wants that piece of land, they must be willing to be this big-headed ghost, and of course, with their family's financial resources, they can afford it......"

"What do you mean to say directly." Xia Channel, "Don't beat around the bush!" ”

"Brother Xia, don't worry!" Li Gongzi smiled, drank the wine in his hand, and continued, "Fan Enyu made you unable to get off the stage today, but the little one has a way, let him know that you are not easy to mess with, and let him understand what it means to be a businessman not to fight with an official." ”

They asked, "What way?" ”

Li Gongzi said matter-of-factly: "Since they want my cousin's land, we won't let them get that land!" ”

Xia Tong listened, and looked slightly embarrassed, "How much is your cousin's land?" ”

Li Gongzi knew that Xia Tong would be wrong, and hurriedly explained: "My cousin marked a sky-high price for that piece of land, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my younger brother to buy it for a while." ”

"Then what are you talking about this useless thing to do? Do you have a way to make your cousin change his mind! ”

Li Gongzi smiled, "My cousin's kind of person, it's impossible to make him change his mind, but ......"

The crowd asked, "But what?" ”

"But Brother Xia, don't forget, what does Master Ling Father Shangshu do!"

Xia Tong suddenly realized, that's right, his father is the head of the household department, and he is in charge of the land tax, isn't it easy to handle this matter, "What you said is reasonable, my father is in charge of the household department is good, but how can he let the old man come forward to ask for the land?" ”

Wu Gongzi interjected: "This is not difficult, I have an idea!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

"Let's wait for Fan Enyu's kid to buy the land first, and then let Li Gongzi buy his cousin, and then forge a title deed to Fan Enyu, and then check on him, saying that he faked the title deed!"

Xia Tong disagreed, "It's easy to say, how easy is it to fake the title deed, not to mention how his cousin will cooperate with us to do this kind of thing?" ”

Li Gongzi laughed treacherously, "Brother Xia, you forgot, Lord Ling Zun is the head of the household, isn't this official with a seal letter a matter of Lord Ling Zun's words!" As for my cousin's side, the younger brother will naturally go around, as soon as he hears your name, how can he not do it? ”

The next day, the Xuanzheng Hall was solemn, and all the ministers bowed their backs and trembled violently, not because of how cold the weather was, but because today the Han Emperor sat on the dragon chair for a long time, and did not say a word, just leaned back on the back of the chair with his eyes slightly closed. * There was a dead silence in the solemn hall, several senior officials had long known the emperor's temperament, once the Han Emperor looked like this, it showed that he was making a difficult choice, that is to say, the Han Emperor might announce an extremely important matter next, so no one dared to step forward to interrupt the Han Emperor's train of thought now.
