Night, Dingxiang Building.

There were generally more than a dozen tables in the spacious chemical hall, but only a few assistants directly under the criminal name and sentence, as well as those under Zhao Wuxing, accounted for four of them in the corner.

Among the round tables, only Sun Shaozong sat alone on the main seat, and the majestic figure swayed in the candlelight, looking at it with a bit of gloom.

It's no wonder that the atmosphere of the banquet can be warmed up!

"Boss!"

A short and sturdy catcher poked his head into Zhao Wuxing's ear and said worriedly: "Looking at today's scene, Sun Tongju may not be able to stand in the yamen, our brothers ......."

"What nonsense, shut your stinky mouth!"

Zhao Wuxing scolded sharply, but in his heart, there were actually fifteen buckets up and down, originally thought that at most, those officials didn't give face, but who knew that even the officials in each room were nowhere to be seen.

Even if the former general judge and Liu Zhizhong had a quarrel like water and fire, I didn't see the officials below standing in line so together.

Maybe......

Did you really go to the wrong path?!

Zhao Wuxing faintly regretted it, but he remembered Sun Shaozong's words during the day, but where did he dare to be half-hearted?

Besides, it's already here, wouldn't it be a fuss to leave halfway and not be a person inside and out?

Why don't the rest of the people think so?

One by one, they looked at the platter in front of them hungrily, but they just wanted to swallow a few catties of regret medicine.

At this moment, a small servant hurriedly arrived at the main table, attached himself and whispered a few words in Sun Shaozong's ear, Sun Shaozong immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, how about a distinguished guest come uninvited, and go out with me to greet him?" ”

When everyone heard this, they thought that he had asked for 'foreign help.'

Although the reception banquet is generally an internal party, it stands to reason that outsiders should not be invited to attend - but it would be good if such an embarrassing scene could be completed at the moment, who cares if it is an outsider or an insider?!

So the crowd and the assistants followed behind Sun Shaozong with a smile on their faces and went to greet the 'uninvited' guest.

Originally, I thought that it was either an old army general with the Sun family, or a descendant of the nobles - who knew that when I arrived outside the gate, I saw a middle-aged civil official in a red robe and jade belt and a four-beam gold crown sitting on the four-carrying official sedan chair!

Everyone was surprised, and saw the middle-aged civil official get off the sedan chair, laughed and arched his hand: "Brother Xian, I didn't expect that you and I would enter Beijing on the same boat in the future, and in the future, we will have to pick up a horse spoon in a yamen. ”

A horse spoon in a yamen?

The wise one had already heard some clues from these words, and his face was full of ecstasy.

Although the stupid ones haven't figured out the situation yet, it doesn't matter, because Sun Shaozong immediately solved the mystery.

I saw that he also laughed and greeted him, and bowed deeply to the end: "Humble Sun Shaozong, I have seen Lord Fucheng!" ”

But it turned out that this middle-aged civil official was not someone else, it was the soon-to-be-appointed Chengjia Yucun of Shuntian Mansion - no wonder those who guessed his identity were ecstatic!

You must know that Fu Cheng is in Shuntian Mansion, but he is the only person who is qualified to fight against Lord Fu Yin, and he has the evaluation and reward and punishment of all officials up and down, with this relationship, even if the people of the whole yamen are against Sun Shaozong, he can also be as stable as Mount Tai!

Zhao Wuxing's only beautiful snot bubbles came out, and he secretly said that he really had a unique vision, and this bet won the treasure game of killing!

So he hurriedly led the people forward to see.

"Boom~"

Jia Yucun raised his eyebrows pretending to be dissatisfied, stretched out his hand to pull Sun Shaozong up, and reprimanded: "Now that I haven't taken office, what are you doing with this?" I'm here today to eat your wine, brother, but I'm not here to play the prestige! ”

Just listen to this, if you really don't want to play official power, why do you wear this official uniform on your body?

But said that the two talked and laughed, and returned all the way back to the flower hall, seeing that the hall was empty, Jia Yucun didn't feel 'huh', and said strangely: "Why didn't a colleague see it, didn't I come too early?" ”

This is called professional acting!

With this expression and tone, who could see that the two of them had been discussing secretly for more than half an hour in the afternoon?

Sun Shaozong secretly praised him, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhizhong may be unwell—as for the other colleagues, they may have misremembered the time of the reception banquet." ”

To distinguish Liu Zhizhong from others, it was also in the afternoon, and Sun Shaozong and Jia Yucun had already discussed the response.

First, it was to oppose the army and take the opportunity to isolate Liu Chongshan; Second, Liu Chongshan is also one of the three 'hall officials', and he really wants to be present and fight against Jia Yucun, this scene is not easy to sing.

"That being the case."

Jia Yucun turned around and smiled kindly at the assistant who caught the catcher: "Let's go and inform you again, just say that the official is waiting here - it just so happens that the official also wants to take advantage of Brother Sun Xian's reception banquet to get to know your colleagues first." ”

With his word 'waiting', who else would dare not be there?!

Zhao Wuxing and the others were all in good spirits, leaving only three or five people to wait, and the rest were divided into birds and beasts, and went to the homes of various officials to spread the word.

About half an hour later, people rushed to the flower pavilion one after another, and the official who was not enough naturally sat quietly on the face of the chief, but there was no way to hide, so he could only step forward to see the Fu Cheng and the general judge.

Jia Yucun just laughed and talked with Sun Shaozong, and didn't pay much attention to others, and whoever came was just a faint 'sit down', and there was no more follow-up - but it was this attitude of no one else that made everyone feel even more worried.

Seeing that the hall was bustling with people, even Chen Zhichuang, who had experienced the division, sat down with a smile on his face.

Sun Shaozong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yucun, this person is almost here, why don't we have a banquet?" ”

"Wait."

Jia Yucun waved his hand, looked around at the green officials on the table, and suddenly asked aloud: "Who prepared this banquet today?" ”

With just this sound, the needle drop in the flower hall can be heard!

In the middle of the ring, a person on the seat next to him stood up in a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... It's a lower official...... Prepared by Zhou Da, the inspector of the criminal name. ”

The inspector is just a petty official who has not entered the stream, let alone the mansion, even Sun Shaozong can easily crush him!

If it weren't for the unanimous appearance of the civil officials this time, he would not dare to get involved in this kind of thing - but who would have thought that he would jump out of a mansion to support Sun Shaozong halfway?!

Zhou Da really regretted his intestines at this time.

"Since you're in charge of preparing for the reception banquet, why didn't you wait here early, how could you even get the time wrong?!" The more Jia Yucun spoke, the more gloomy his face became, and finally slapped the table and shouted: "Could it be that when you deal with life lawsuits on weekdays, you are also so negligent?!" ”

Puff~

Zhou Da knelt on the ground straight, and opened his mouth to shout injustice: "Adult Mingjian, the villain is really ......"

"Zhou Da!"

Governor Lin Delu jumped up and intercepted Zhou Da's words sharply: "What are you doing?!" Unexpectedly, this Manchu colleague almost missed Lord Sun's reception banquet! ”

The focus of his words is in the words 'Manchu colleagues', which actually means to remind Zhou Da: If you tell the truth, you will offend your colleagues up and down!

If Zhou Da had a seventh- or eighth-grade official rank, he might not be afraid of this, but who made him just a sesame official who didn't enter the stream?

After weighing it, he could only bite the bullet and say: "I also ask Lord Fucheng to forgive my sins, and the lower officials were also confused for a while, so they made such a mistake." ”

"Hmph."

Jia Yucun snorted coldly, and Zhou Da trembled three times, thinking that a catastrophe was coming, but he heard Sun Shaozong laugh and said: "Brother Yucun, this is a private banquet after all, and it is not an important official matter, I will spare him this time - how about only three glasses of wine?" ”

When Zhou Da heard this, he was only moved and thanked repeatedly.

Who knew that when the three glasses of wine were placed in front of them, they were actually three half-catty bronze statues, and they were not the low-alcohol rice wine that they often drink, but the serious soju [liquor]!

That Zhou Da's face suddenly changed color again, but under the gaze of Jia Yucun and Sun Shaozong, how could he dare to shirk?

I had to pinch my nose and pour the three shochu into my stomach one by one.

After drinking this pound and a half, he staggered and waited to come forward to salute, but as soon as he bent down, he went directly under the table, and his mouth was full of muddy muffled sounds, and then there was no movement.

"Serve the food and set the wine!"

In silence, he heard Sun Shaozong's shouting.

The wine and food were put on the table like a stream, and everyone pushed the glass and changed the lamp, all of them looked 'elated', but no one dared to look at Zhou Da's eyes.
