In the middle of the banquet, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. The others looked at each other, but they did not dare to speak.

Xu Zhou frowned unhappily and beckoned to the slave next to him: "Go and see what's going on." ”

Before the slave could go out, another slave came outside, and came over with small steps and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this, not knowing what he was thinking, and beckoned to them: "Let them in." ”

Then Mu Yunge and Lin Xuanqing both walked in, the two of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, handsome men and pretty women, they didn't look like a good match, the others were first amazed by Mu Yunge's beauty, and then quickly looked away, feeling sorry in their hearts.

Lin Xuanyu first said some auspicious words, Xu Zhou didn't bother to listen, and his eyebrows were full of impatience.

"We came this time, and we also prepared a gift for the prime minister." Lin Xuanqi finally got to the point.

Xu Zhou leaned forward, finally a little interested: "Oh? Courtesy? Others also inadvertently pricked up their ears.

"Yes, we are specially prepared for the prime minister, I believe the prime minister will like it very much." Lin Xuanqi added the word "specialized".

After speaking, he gave a look to the person behind him, and immediately someone carried two large objects covered with a layer of satin, the objects were very large, one needed four people to carry, and then placed heavily in the middle, making a muffled sound.

Lin Xuanqi lifted the layer of cloth on the surface, revealing a square wooden box, surrounded by a circle of exquisite patterns, inlaid with several unknown agate, emitting a faint woody fragrance.

The people around were talking about what kind of treasure it was, some said it was jewelry, some thought it was gold. Others think it is precious porcelain.

All in all, it's all about valuables.

Even Xu Zhou thought so, his eyes were full of smiles. The previous uninvited dissatisfaction with Lin Xuanqi and Mu Yunge had long since disappeared.

The eye-catching man next to him hurriedly flattered Xu Zhou: "This look inside is jewelry, and only such a treasure is worthy of being a prime minister!" ”

When the others heard the man's flattering words, they also quickly echoed: "That is, the prime minister is very talented." "Even Lin Xuanqi is just as afraid of the prime minister as they are. The image of the prime minister instantly rose a little higher in their hearts.

Xu Zhou smiled when he was coaxed, and said politely to Lin Xuanyu: "Come here, why bother giving any gifts." ”

His face was mild, as if he was not the one who was impatient before. There was immediately a slave next to her who came over to move Lin Xuanqi and Mu Yunge.

Lin Xuanqi didn't plan to sit down, but said: "There will be something important later, I'm afraid I won't be able to chat with the prime minister, so I'll make amends to you here first." After speaking, his face was full of helplessness.

"No problem. It still matters. "The prime minister is particularly good at talking at this time.

Suddenly, a person next to him was curious: "I don't know what kind of gift this is." I wonder if we have the privilege of seeing it? ”

In this atmosphere of laughter and laughter, which seems to be exceptionally good, the person's voice is particularly abrupt.

The others were actually very curious, but they didn't have the courage to say it, so they were all silent.

The prime minister frowned, and looked at the man with displeasure, but he also acquiesced. Xu Zhou was originally a person who likes to show off, and that move happened to be able to receive a wave of compliments.

Lin Xuanqian ticked the box, and what he was waiting for was that sentence.

"If you don't mind, how about you open the box now and let them take a look?" The prime minister seemed to be discussing, but there was no refusal in his tone.

Lin Xuanzhen said: "This is a gift from the prime minister, so it is naturally calculated by the prime minister." "I have to say that if Lin Xuanqi wants to really please someone, it's just an easy thing.

"Haha, okay."

Lin Xuanqian stepped forward and put his hand on the box, and everyone next to him stared at the box tightly, for fear of missing something.

It's opened!

There is no treasure in it! There are only two people!

But it's not a beauty, it's two dead people.

The two had apparently been dead for a while, their faces were pale, their blood was dry, and they still smelled of rotting flesh, and one of them had wide eyes that looked like he was looking at everyone.

Although everyone present has seen the smell of blood, some of them often mingle here. But the sudden face of such a corpse was still frightened, and some timid people sat directly on the ground and retched.

After everyone reacted, they didn't care if Xu Zhou was still there, they all started to talk about it, and the whole banquet was chaotic.

Dogleg and Hu Laoer?

Xu Zhou looked at the two faces, his face turned dark, and he was instantly more ugly than the face of the corpse. Mu Yunge took advantage of this time to hurriedly step forward and said sarcastically: "I don't know if these two people are familiar with each other?" ”

The people around stopped talking and quickly quieted out.

"Collect money by watching the night pearl! Isn't this what the prime minister who is close to the people and fair does? "Her voice was so loud that almost everyone could hear it.

Xu Zhou's hand on the seat trembled slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Xu Zhou is a person with an excellent face, even if he has done a lot of bad things, he doesn't want anyone to pierce him directly.

Mu Yunge didn't notice Xu Zhou's emotions, and finally turned his eyes to the ministers next to him and said, "And you, sell the official mantle." ”

"You!" The ministers had a blank look in their eyes, but they didn't dare to refute it, after all, what she said was true.

If she had any evidence, they would only be more embarrassed.

Xu Zhou stepped forward directly, ready to slap Mu Yunge: "Nonsense!" Mu Yunge didn't pay attention at first, but when he finally wanted to resist, he was too late, so he had to reflexively close his eyes.

Lin Xuanqi next to him has been paying attention to Xu Zhou's movements, just because he is afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry and act to hurt Yun Ge. At this time, he grabbed Xu Zhou's hand.

Lin Xuanqing's strength was very strong, Xu Zhou's wrist was in sharp pain, and he couldn't help it, "Ah! With a loud scream, I couldn't resist almost immediately, and I just felt like my bones were about to break.

"Someone! Someone! Xu Zhou hurriedly called his guards. After a while, the guards ran in, each with a spear in their hands, and surrounded Lin Xuanqi and Mu Yunge.

Xu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could be complacent, he heard a large wave of movement outside, and he hurriedly said to one of the guards next to him: "Go and see what the sound is!" ”

Xu Zhou suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The ministers next to them also realized the seriousness of the matter, and could no longer sit still, like ants on a hot pot scurrying around at the banquet.

"Prime Minister, there are a lot of Imperial Forest troops outside, and they have surrounded the hall!"

The guards were running over, and there were big drops of sweat on their heads.
