Liang Feng doesn't treat lonely guests? This is obviously a joke.

The slender lady didn't dare to answer casually, lowered her head and asked Shang Cheng in a whisper what kind of dishes she liked, and after a while, four meat and two vegetables were put on the short table; Of course, there is also a small jar of Huo's blue and white that has not been uncovered. Shang Cheng didn't ask for a kabuki dancer, he sat alone by the desk and poured himself a drink, eating and drinking slowly.

His amount of wine was originally very good, like this high-grade Huo's liquor, there was no problem for one or two catties to drink by one person earlier, it was almost the amount of a small jar. However, in the past two or three years, he has followed the advice of the divine doctor to avoid this and that in his diet, except for the New Year's holiday, he basically rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, and generally drinks some fruit wine, which is considered to be a drink with a very low alcohol content. After drinking less wine, the amount of alcohol will naturally be shallow over time, and after a few glasses of white wine, the depressed mood will be steamed up by the hot wine, and the head will gradually become dizzy...... He knew that he would be embarrassed if he drank it again. It's not that he doesn't understand the truth that it's easy to get drunk when he's alone, but it's still a drunken heart, like his current situation, it's easiest to get drunk. But he still remembered another sentence, called "Persuade you to have a glass of wine and eliminate eternal sorrow with you"! Since it can dispel sorrows, what nonsense is there. Drink, keep drinking! ……

In the end, he still didn't get drunk. It's not that he doesn't want to drink anymore, it's that there is no wine in the blue and white porcelain jar.

Since there is no alcohol, let's stop here.

He flicked the glass of wine on the table, and walked out of the hall with unsteady steps. He didn't say hello to the slender lady standing under the dripping eaves, rubbed his cheeks, which were a little hot from alcohol, in the cool breeze of the night, and tried his best to teach himself to be sober, and then he walked away with a high foot and a low foot on the road he came. He didn't even ask about the money for the wine. Drunk and drunk, he understands it very well in his head. Lao Dao and Li Feng must have been hiding somewhere around, but he couldn't see it. Further, as long as he didn't order his actions to be kept secret, the old knife and the others would definitely pass on the news of his presence in Liang Feng back to the county uncle's mansion, at least to let people know where he was now and where he might go next. In this way, if something emergency or something happens, others will be able to find him in time; Although the possibility of such a thing happening is almost non-existent......

By the time he walked through the secluded road and came to the alley, Li Feng had already led his green horse over.

He barely climbed on his horse, and without saying a word, led a few of the guards back.

When he returned to the county uncle's mansion, he just sounded the drum of the third watch. Hey, Liang Feng who arrived at the right time, but he had already gone home when he was in the middle of the day, even if he was on the road for half an hour, then he drank up a jar of liquor alone for the rest of the hour, should he be proud, or should he be discouraged?

Gao Qiang, who was on duty in the county uncle's mansion, reported that Jiang Jian was still in the study, as if he was looking for him for something.

Shang Cheng was washing his hands and face shirtless, splashing everywhere, and when he heard Gao Qiang's words, he opened his wet arms and asked, "What's the matter with him?" "Jiang Yan's family has already arrived in Beijing, and they have been talking about buying a house. But after looking at many places, I always felt that it was not suitable, so I lived in this county first.

"He didn't say it."

Shang Cheng twisted the towel and frowned. Things seem to be a little off the way. There were several big guards around him, Shi followed Sun Zhongshan to Jiazhou, Bao Kan was a lieutenant in Geping Daku in Yanshui, Su Zha was in charge of a cavalry camp under Shao Chuan, Duan Si went to conquer Dongwei, and now only Gao Qiang and Li Feng remained. Li Feng has not been with him for a long time, but Gao Qiang is the person he promoted when he was a fake governor, although he did not lead the position of captain of the guard battalion, but in fact he is the number one guard leader beside him, and he is also so familiar with Jiang Qiang that he can't be more familiar with each other. It can't be that Jiang has made some mistakes, right?

He couldn't help but think so. The key reason why Jiang Tong was able to enter Beijing was that the Ministry of Industry had suffered heavy losses in the liquor trading and urgently needed a capable official like him to reverse the situation. After entering Beijing, he first participated in the revision of the contract between the Ministry of Industry and the Huo family on liquor, and then sorted out the matter of leasing and selling liquor workshops in various parts of the Ministry of Industry in an orderly manner, and easily handled the two official duties that others avoided and feared, and he became a well-known figure in the six departments. What Shang Cheng was worried about was the Ministry of Industry's leasing and selling liquor workshops. With his understanding of Jiang Jun, it is impossible for Jiang Tuan to be in it, and Lao Jiang is not short of that money, let alone that kind of person; I'm afraid that some people will be jealous and jealous, and they will make traps in secret. He had some truth in his conjecture. Jiang Tuan was brought to Yanzhou by him, and he had been working as a small clerk in a small place like Ximazhi before, and now his vision is not necessarily narrow, but some despicable tricks may not be familiar, and the possibility of accidentally being fooled is not impossible......

He slowly wiped his face with a hot towel, while quietly thinking about what Jiang Yan would do, and he didn't come up with any clue for a while, so he casually threw the towel into the wooden basin and ordered: "Ask someone to bring the pot of bitter tea." "After leaving Gao Qiang, I came to see Jiang Tong.

As soon as Shang Cheng saw the door, Jiang Yan was sitting in the study, drinking bitter and astringent tea one after another. This scene reminded him of those times in Yanzhou.

Jiang Tuan smiled and raised the bitter tea in his hand to him, and said, "I guess that when you come home, you will definitely ask for bitter tea, so I will teach them to prepare first." As he spoke, he poured a bowl for Shang Cheng. And he said, "You're going to drink?" One by one, who made the east? ”

"How do you know? They told you? Shang Cheng took the tea and took a sip.

"You smell of alcohol, and you still need someone else to tell me?"

"Hah!" Shang Cheng raised his head and laughed, grinning and said, "I was a little idle in the military department, and I couldn't find a place to vent, so I went to drink alone." ”

If it were a different person, Shang Cheng would definitely not expose his shortcomings, and if he drank too much alcohol alone, he would not be able to laugh at others if he said it. But in front of Jiang Jun, he didn't have these scruples. Lao Jiang had seen the panic scene when he was pretending to supervise Yanshan. At that time, there were homeless people in Yanshanwei and enemies outside, and the civil officials ignored the disobedience of the military generals, and he said a word, and he couldn't even find anyone who obeyed, so that the prefectures and counties in various places reported a disaster book, and several counties under his nose could drag on for three or four months; The gossip asserting that his false governor did not last long has never stopped...... He really gritted his teeth at that time, and then he had the situation that Yan Shanwei had later...... Suffering from the send-plague, is the scene of two years ago going to happen again? Only after surviving the wind and rain can you see the rainbow?

Of course, Jiang Jian didn't know what thoughts were turning in his heart, so he followed his words and asked, "The current military department, dare to give you anger?" ”

Shang Cheng's tone froze, and he said, "...... Of course. I'm just a pillar country; Those who can pick me up can go straight to Suzaku Gate from the left and right doors. He was talking, but his mind was spinning fast. How did he think about it, how did he think that there were still words in Jiang Luan's words, and the word "dare" was meaningful, and listening to the meaning of the words, it was still beneficial to him to hide it. As for what kind of benefits there were, he couldn't figure out for a while, no matter what, what happened so that the military department didn't dare to offend himself?

Jiang Yan smiled and asked again: "I heard today that Zhen Huaichun went to Zhengzhou six days ago?" ”

"You say it's true?" Shang Cheng was a little dizzy by his words of grabbing the fence in the east and in the west, and he felt more and more that Jiang Jian felt that he was referring to something. He nodded and said, "I went to the meeting of the Ministry of War today, because I heard that he went to Zhengzhou." He looked at Jiang Yan. Zhenqian went to Zhengzhou, what does this have to do with you?

Jiang Yan nodded and said no more, lowered his head and drank tea.

Shang Cheng waited for a while, and when he saw Jiang Yan drinking tea and water tepidly, he didn't mean to speak, so he laughed at that time. He originally thought that Jiang Jian had provoked some disaster and wanted to find himself to help resolve it, so he didn't say anything to Gao Qiang; Now it looks like I must have thought about it. Just looking at Lao Jiang's leisurely appearance of lifting Erlang's legs, he knew that this guy must have heard something good, so he hurriedly ran to report the good news to him.

Since it was good news, Shang Cheng also calmed down. Jiang Jian wants to sell Guanzi, and he is not in a hurry, anyway, he will not go to the government tomorrow to see who can endure whom. So he also took the cup and drank tea slowly.

Jiang Jian and he are old colleagues, and when he saw his expression, he knew that he had exposed his flaws, and he smiled and revealed the mystery: "I was out for dinner with two colleagues this evening, and one of them had a brother-in-law who worked in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry in Xuzhou. His voice grew lower and lower, and at last it was almost a whisper. He quietly told us that just half a month ago, the workshop of the Ministry of Industry in Xuzhou had burned out the glass......"

Shang Cheng opened his mouth and took a sharp breath of cool air. There were only two sentences in his mind, "half a month ago" and "glass", and he didn't even pay attention to what Jiang Yan said later. Xuzhou is only more than 300 miles away from Beijing, and the fast horse is coming in one day, why hasn't there been any news in the capital? Such a big thing, Chang Xiu, Li Mutian, Xiu Yang Heng, none of these people said a word to themselves, what is the reason? Well, it can't be said that there are no rumors, at least the matter of Zhenqian going to Zhengzhou on business is very strange. The dignified military department Zuo Shilang is also in charge of the Dongwei strategy, Duan Si went to sea, Yan Jiu is building a lot of construction in Shandong, he has nothing to do, and he can't go to Zhengzhou where the garrison is only two battalions, right? This guy is definitely not there to inspect the defenses; Maybe it's to avoid the limelight of glass.

Jiang Wei's words also have the following: "...... It is said that there are people in the court who are secretly walking around, agitating to write a letter to impeach the Ministry of Labor, saying that the Ministry of Industry is making a big move on a non-existent glass and spending an unknown amount of people's fat and ointment. In particular, Chang Xiuchang said that he had empty articles but no morality, and he spared no money for the sake of his own false reputation, and he did not hesitate to pay attention to the people's strength, and even falsely referred to Dongshan as Dongyue, just to cover up his temporary omissions......"

Shang Cheng nodded, finally understanding what was going on. The impeachment of the Ministry of Industry is fake, but the sword is the imperial court's policy of suppressing land annexation, and the goal is to bring down Chang Xiu. It seems that the glass did burn out. But Zhang Pu must have sensed the sinister intentions of these people, so he blocked the news. After these people jumped out one by one, handed over the impeachment articles, and created a certain amount of momentum inside and outside the government and the opposition, Zhang Pu came again to announce that the glass had been successful, and the so-called impeachment would naturally disappear into invisibility, and then slap back with a slap in the face.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, tsk, this method is really sharp and ruthless......
