In the best box of the Mandarin Duck Building, everyone is seated in the main and guest seats.

After sitting down, Yu Tingshi arched his hand to Tang Ning and said: "The three adults have been coming to Ezhou for a few days, and I will wait until today to wash the dust for the three of them, and the hospitality is not good, and I still hope that Haihan ......"

There are only three people who are eligible to participate in this banquet, Tang Ning, Yushi Zhongcheng, and Gongsun Ying, who is the leader of the Shadow Guard.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng smiled: "I came here for business, not for fun, Lord Yu is polite." ”

"Business is official business, the number of etiquette is the number of etiquette, and the number of etiquette that should be there must be there." Yu Tingshi looked at them, took out three thick envelopes from his sleeves, put them on the table in front of the three of them, and said: "The three of them came from afar, this is a little gift from this official, and please don't shirk the three of them." ”

"Lord Yu is polite." Yu Shi Zhongcheng smiled and put the envelope away.

Gongsun Ying directly opened the envelope, looked at the thick stack of silver tickets with a denomination of 1,000 taels of silver, and threw it back in front of Yu Tingshi's table, with an indifferent expression.

One or two thousand taels of silver, naturally he couldn't buy Tang Ning, he handed it over and said, "No merit, this small gift, Lord Yu should take it back." ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng looked at him and said, "Lord Tang, this is the etiquette of the Jiangnan place, and there is nothing else. ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked with a smile, "Is this also the etiquette of the Imperial Observatory?" ”

Evaluate any thing, can not be one-sided, can not generalize, the imperial history has always been a clear stream, Tang Ning has seen the imperial history for justice and bluntly admonished the death, but also seen the imperial history of the imperial history of the Cheng who is well versed in the "etiquette" of the south of the Yangtze River, the ridiculous thing is that the latter is still the second and third in command of the imperial history platform......

The face of the imperial historian changed slightly, and the faces of the Ezhou officials during the banquet were also difficult to see.

There are some rules in the officialdom, which are tacitly accepted by everyone, and accepting gifts from others naturally means standing on the same front with them.

In other words, the officials of Ezhou, he doesn't plan to let it go.

In other words, there are two paths of life and death, and he chose the dead end.

Yu Tingshi didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Lord Tang is a clear stream, but the official is a cliché......

He picked up the wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "This official will punish himself with a glass first." ”

He drank all the wine in the cup, poured two more glasses, picked up one of them, and said, "Lord Tang has come from afar, this cup, this official respects Lord Tang." ”

At the banquet, some people in the know had a slight color in their eyes.

After drinking this glass of wine, within two days, he would be bedridden, first dizzy and vomiting, then difficulty eating, difficulty breathing, and finally vomiting blood and dying......

What about the Beijing officials, what about the servants of the ministry, the biggest problem of the Beijing officials going to the south of the Yangtze River is that it is difficult to adapt to the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River, because the water and soil do not accept the death in the south of the Yangtze River, he is not the first, nor the last.

Tang Ning looked at the wine in the glass, unmoved.

Yu Tingshi waited for a while, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that Lord Tang thinks that this official does not have this face?" ”

"No, no, no......" Tang Ning shook his head, took the wine glass in Yu Shi's hand, put the wine glass on the table in his hand, and said, "Lord Yu took the wrong one, this is the cup you used just now." ”

He looked at Yu Tingshi and said, "Lord Yu, please first." ”

Yu Tingshi's face changed slightly, and he said, "How can this official remember that he didn't take it wrong?" ”

Tang Ning said seriously: "Lord Yu really took it wrong. ”

Yu Tingshi looked at him, a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes, and he brought the wine glass to his mouth, but his hand suddenly trembled, and the wine glass fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Yu Tingshi showed a look of chagrin on his face, shook his head and said, "This official is really careless......"

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the box was kicked open, and before everyone could react, more than ten people poured in from outside the door, pushing everyone except Tang Ning and the three to the ground.

Liu Tong strode in, looked at Tang Ning, and said solemnly: "All the people have been taken, please instruct the general!" ”

Tang Ning looked at him a little stunned and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The Hongmen banquet is also a routine, whether it is the Hongmen banquet he set up, or the Hongmen banquet placed by Yu Thorn History, everyone must be harmonious at the beginning, with an attitude of what is good to discuss, after three rounds of wine, or can not discuss together, he is angry and smashes the cup, Liu Tong and others got the signal, broke in, and took down these corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Ezhou, this 'Hongmen banquet' came to an end......

But whose Hongmen banquet was a glass of wine without drinking, not even a dish, and everyone was still greeting each other with a smile on their faces, they lifted the table?

This is also too unsophisticated.

Liu Tong was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say that the general said that the cup was broken?" We heard the sound of the glass being slammed, and we came in......"

Tang Ning looked at the wine glass that fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, his lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything.

Liu Tong was indeed acting according to his instructions, and this matter was considered inconsiderate to him, and he should have agreed on some other code with him at that time......

He has to carry this pot, and as a boss, he must also have the courage to admit his mistakes.

Yu Tingshi and the others were pressed to the ground, their faces against the floor, distorted and deformed because of the excessive force, and shouted loudly in shock and anger: "Who are you, do you want to rebel!" ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng, who was frightened by this sudden formation, also came back to his senses, looked at Tang Ning, and said angrily: "Lord Tang, what are you doing!" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and said innocently: "I said this is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?" ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng naturally didn't believe it, he ambushed so many people here, was it just for fun?

He didn't expect that at today's banquet, Tang Ning was even more ruthless than the officials in Ezhou, and he wanted to wipe them out......

He looked at Tang Ning and said loudly: "Since it was a misunderstanding, why don't you let go of these adults......"

Liu Tong looked at Tang Ning, waiting for his instructions.

"Tie them all up." Tang Ning looked at Liu Tong, waved his hand, and said, "After all, it's all here......"

He glanced at Yu Shi Zhongcheng and said, "Arrest this thing that eats inside and out, accepts bribes, and colludes with local officials." ”

Yu Shizhongcheng's face changed greatly, and he said: "Tang Ning, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" ”

"You're the ones who want to rebel, right?" Tang Ning walked to the table and opened the wine jug, and there was a lot of information in the jug, the wine in the lake was layered, and under normal circumstances, the wine from the lower layer was poured out, and the lid of the pot was turned at an angle, and the wine from the upper layer was poured out.

Tang Ning looked at Yu Tingshi and said with a smile: "Lord Yu, your pot is quite capable of holding it......"

Yu Tingshi's face changed greatly, and he said: "This, this is the custom of Ezhou, this pot is called a dual-purpose pot......"

"Don't say anything else." Tang Ning turned the lid of the pot at an angle, poured a glass of wine, handed it to him, and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, today's incident will be treated as if it never happened, how about it?" ”

Yu Tingshi's face turned completely pale, he knew what the consequences would be if he drank this wine, this was the most painful way to die he had ever seen.

Obviously, Tang Ning already knew everything, but Yu Tingshi was out of his mind at this moment, stretched his neck, and said: "If you have the ability, you will kill me, kill me, I will see how you explain to the court!" ”

"Okay." Tang Ning nodded, looked at Chen Zhou behind him, and said, "Take my sword......
