At the beginning, Lu Zhong and Wu Gui and others were still a little restrained, especially Wu Gui, since he saw Ye Qing, his heart had been stuck in his throat, and he sat there trembling and tugging at his heart, not knowing when Ye Qing would suddenly attack him.

However, with Ye Qing's easy-going attitude and not refusing, slowly everyone also let go of their initial restraints, and dared to raise their wine glasses to declare their names and toast Ye Qingjiu.

Of course, this is inseparable from Lao Liu Tou's contributions, although Lao Liu Tou knows that starting tomorrow, Ye Qing will not be what it used to be, and he will no longer be the head of the small forbidden army that walks the streets and alleys, or cares for the home.

But after getting along with each other during this time, he believed from the bottom of his heart that Ye Qing would not be an ungrateful person, and naturally he would not forget about them because he was promoted.

Therefore, with Lao Liu's mobilization of the atmosphere, coupled with the relationship with Yourongyan, Ye Qing's rise in status also made him important in the eyes of Lu Zhong and others.

From time to time, Lu Zhong or Wu Gui will also hold a wine glass and call Lao Liu Tou a brother and brother, hook shoulders and back to contact the feelings, and after a while, in the eyes of the third aunt, a few people almost kowtow with three sticks of incense.

It is difficult for the third aunt's tavern to be as lively as it is today, and the people sitting are all so-called big people, so after seeing Lao Liu Tou come in at the beginning, the third aunt, who was still cold-faced, bloomed with a flower-like smile on her face after a while.

Every time he passed by the table, Lao Liu Tou would involuntarily stare at the third aunt with his spare eyes, secretly looking hard, for fear of missing even a moment.

As night fell, the lights came on, and with the increase in the number of guests in the third aunt's tavern, it made the third aunt smile from ear to ear, not to mention anything else today, it was the reward of a few big people at Ye Qing's table, which was enough for her to earn in a month.

So greeting the guys, together with herself, she is very busy and hardworking, and the good wine that she bought with her teeth at the beginning was all rolled by Lao Liu's eyes today, and a jar of jars was greeted on the table, which made the third aunt be completely cured today by those jars of old wine, because she couldn't sell it for a long time.

At the gate of Fan's Mansion, a man in a black robe, followed by two subordinates who were also dressed in black short, seemed to blend in with the night.

With the rhythmic knock on the door of the Fan Mansion, it didn't take a moment, the side door was opened, the porter was startled at first, and then hurriedly nodded and invited the three of them to enter the mansion.

After the side door was closed by the porter, the three of them confessed, and hurriedly trotted to inform Fan Niande, who was pulled back by the carriage today, that there was a distinguished guest in the house.

Fan Niande, who was angry and spit blood at the West Lake, was lying on the bed with a pale face and blank eyes, and the two maids next to him were doing their best to take care of them.

Zhu Xi visited Fan Niande for a while just now, and after comforting Fan Niande a few words, he returned to his small courtyard in Fan's mansion.

Zhu Xi, who was standing in the courtyard, was thinking solemnly about the words of the forbidden army in West Lake today, only to hear a slightly hurried footsteps, coming from outside.

Curious, I walked to the door of the courtyard, and saw three black shadows, guided by the lanterns carried by the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion, walking towards the living room where Fan Niande usually greets distinguished guests.

Fan Niande is also a businessman and a Confucian, and he works in Fengshan Academy and Jiankang School on weekdays, but he doesn't go often, so when he saw someone hurriedly coming to Fan Niande, Zhu Xi's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, and he was deeply dissatisfied with Fan Niande's reputation and reputation as a descendant of the merchant saint Fan Li.

As soon as the three black-clothed men strode into the hall, they saw Fan Niande's hair disheveled and pale, and with the help of the two maids, he was wearing a coat and saluting them tremblingly.

"Fan Gong, this is ...... What's going on? The leader looked at Fan Niande's miserable appearance of being sick and weak, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Fan Niande's arm and asked.

"Alas...... Don't mention it, Lord Liu, this old man...... Forget it, don't talk about it. Fan Niande trembled and saluted Lord Liu, and then sat down slowly on the main seat with the help of Lord Liu and the maid next to him.

The middle-aged man known as Lord Liu, with solemn eyes and a deep face, looked at Fan Niande's pitiful appearance, and said softly: "Fan Gong might as well say it directly, although he is humble and shallow in the lower ranks, if he can help Fan Gong, he will never shirk his subordinates, and he will definitely do his best to seek justice for Fan Gong." ”

Fan Niande slowly raised his godless eyes, and after glancing at Lord Liu, he shook his head and waved his hand and sighed bitterly: "It's hard to say, Lord Liu, I'm afraid that only Lord Liu can help the old man in this matter." The old man has read the books of sages all his life, and he has always acted above board, strict with himself everywhere, and has never had a grudge against anyone, but ...... Today, I was scolded by the scoundrel forbidden army for no reason, Lord Liu, you said, with the identity and status of an old man, how can you care about him as a lowly person? That's why the old man traveled to the West Lake on this day, and he ended up with today's miserable appearance. Speaking of which, it's all to blame the old man for being too tolerant and humble in everything. ”

The middle-aged man known as Lord Liu had a sinking face, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and the two slightly younger men who followed him in were also stunned, and their expressions were involuntarily stunned.

After pondering for a while, Lord Liu still nodded and said, "Fan Gong, the person you are referring to, but the one you told me last time, the one who snatched the maid from your mansion, the forbidden army named Ye Qing?" ”

Fan Niande's godless eyes flashed a glimmer of light, a few days ago, after he learned Ye Qing's true identity, he had vaguely talked about this matter with the Lord Liu in front of him, the forbidden army snatched a maid from his house for no reason, but he didn't dare to report to the official or stop the identity of the forbidden army, so he could only watch the forbidden army, arrogantly and arrogantly injured many of his subordinates, and swaggered away his maid.

"Yes, who else but the forbidden army? The old man has always been kind to others, and he has never offended anyone, so he is a good bully for the old man, and he bullies the old man one after another. Fan Niande looked like he shouldn't be so benevolent, shook his head and sighed bitterly.

Then, as if he remembered something, he suddenly said: "By the way, Lord Liu, you are the general of the forbidden army in the Imperial City Division, I don't know...... I wonder if Lord Liu can say a soft word for the old man in front of the forbidden army? Let's just say that the old man is not guilty of his past, just ask him not to bully the old man again? ”

Liu Yungu squinted his eyes, the fire candle not far away became smaller and smaller in his squinted eyes, and then looked at Fan Niande quietly, Fan Niande mentioned it to himself a few days ago, and the meaning was very clear, as long as it could make the forbidden army suffer and make him feel comfortable, it would be easy to talk about business affairs.

Originally, he also vaguely agreed to Fan Niande's invitation, but who would have thought that this time is different from the past, it has only been half a month, and the small forbidden army in Fan Niande's mouth has become his top boss.

So Liu Yungu said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Fan Gong." ”

"Oh? What does Lord Liu mean by this? Fan Niande's spirit returned to his body at once, compared to the sick appearance just now, it was completely like a different person, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.

"Don't hide it from Fan Gong, I came here today to come here for this matter, but I didn't tell Fan Gong that there was another way to do this." Liu Yungu looked at Fan Niande's blazing gaze, paused and said: "Just when Fan Gong went to West Lake today, the military department received the holy decree, and the Imperial City Division also received the paperwork, from tomorrow, the forbidden army Ye Qing will be the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division." ”

"What? This...... How is this possible? Lord Liu, could it be that you are mistaken? Fan Niande rubbed and stood up from the chair, and even the maid who served him next to him was startled by his vigorous movements.

Liu Yungu looked at Fan Niande's coat on his body slowly sliding off without realizing it, thought for a while and said: "Today is here, the sincerity is naturally the same as before, but this is just the case...... Now it seems that a long-term view is needed. As the so-called new official took office with three fires, and he just pressed me, I am just a general of the Imperial City Division, and he is the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, so this matter will not be able to be as Fan Gong intended for a while. ”

"This ...... How is this possible? So it's true? Has he really been promoted to deputy commander of the Imperial City Division? Can...... But he is in West Lake all day today, how is this possible? Who helped him promote? Fan Niande ignored his coat and slipped to the ground, walked up to Liu Yungu step by step in shock, and muttered.

"It's not clear about this matter below, but I can tell Fan Gong unmistakably that Ye Qing's promotion to deputy commander of the Imperial City Division is a true thing, and there will definitely be no mistake." Liu Yungu also stood up from the chair, and then took the shirt from the maid's hand, and the clothes that had just slipped from Fan Niande to the ground were personally draped on Fan Niande's body.

"You all go down, I have something important to discuss with Lord Liu." Fan Niande felt Liu Yungu's kung fu of cloaking and patted him on the shoulder, so he turned around and walked back to the main seat and sat down, and said in a deep voice with a solemn face.

Fan Niande couldn't have imagined that the little forbidden army who vomited blood on the spot and lost face in front of a hundred or so literati would become the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division in the blink of an eye!

Ye Qing has always maintained a sober state, not to mention the wine at this time, although the third aunt took out the most precious, the wine made from grain, but compared with the wine blended in later generations, in addition to being more mellow, the strength is still a lot worse, so even if he drinks almost the same amount as later generations, Ye Qing can still maintain enough sobriety.

After refusing Lao Liu Tou to send him home, he walked home alone, and in the third aunt's tavern behind him, which was still very lively, two of the original nine people were already lying under the table, snoring and sleeping.

Lu Zhong was already drunk, his face was red, his eyes were drunk, he took Lao Liu's hand, and said that he would hand over the ten people in Ye Qing's hands to Lao Liu Tou to lead in the future.
