Chapter 553: The trap has been dug, please jump

Shen Xi was almost surrounded by people and entered the post house in the city, and before he could settle down, Zhang Lian had already come to visit.

"Lord Qincha, the lower officials have set up a banquet in the palace, just waiting for you to go to the banquet." Zhang Lian smiled and sent out an invitation.

Before the people arrived in Quanzhou, the greeting people arrived, and they arrived in Quanzhou after taking care of them attentively, and met a big scene of local officials gathering at the gate of the city to welcome them. Now that he has just entered the city, his buttocks have not been hot, and the government has already set up a banquet, and the prefect Zhang Lian has personally invited him.

Zhang Lian, Zhang Lian, are you digging a trap and waiting for me to jump down?

It's not that Shen Xi has to imagine people so badly, it's really that he knows too well the virtues of Europeans and Ming magistrates in the Age of Discovery.

Shen Xi said: "Did Governor Zhang wait for the next place to wash up first, change his clothes, and then go to the mansion?" ”

Zhang Lian smiled and nodded: "That's nature." Come on, prepare a ...... for Lord Chincha"

Before the words fell, several pretty girls with beautiful figures had already entered the room with brocade clothes, not only with outer clothes, but also with linings and single clothes.

"My lord, there is already a fragrant soup bath for you." The maid was timid.

Shen Xi was still thinking yesterday that when he first arrived in Quanzhou, the treatment was comparable to that of the emperor, but he lacked a beautiful woman, and now the beauty was sent to him. Being in the officialdom, you have to face the temptation and corruption of others at any time, in this place where the emperor is far away, if you shake your determination a little, it will be a catastrophe!

Shen Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, I'm used to washing it myself, and I don't like others to help me get dressed." ”

Zhang Lian was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, several maids retreated, and then politely retired himself.

Shen Xi entered the room, the bath bucket was placed in the center of the room, steaming, and there were some moon petals floating on the water surface that were difficult to see at this time. It just so happened that the rain in the past two days was a little damp, and taking a hot bath could relax the muscles and bones, and it was rare to enjoy such treatment when I was busy on the road.

Shen Xi was just about to undress, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Shen Xi looked at the door in surprise...... I've already bolted the door!

When I looked closely, I realized that the wooden latch was an ornament at all, and even the delicate and frail girl could gently push it away. This time it was not a group of beauties who came in, but one, and it didn't look like a maid, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a decent demeanor, came in with her clothes in her hand, put them on the bed, lowered her head and blushed and said, "My lord, let the slave maid serve you to bathe." ”

Shen Xi felt very awkward, and said helplessly: "Girl, please respect yourself." ”

One sentence made the girl a little embarrassed, and Shen Xi used the words of "self-respect" to persuade her, which was obviously a scolding and exposing her shortcomings.

But Shen Xi, as an official of the imperial court, must refuse this kind of gentle battle.

Do you want to ruin my reputation as an official, and you still want to get a good face from me?

The girl's face was ashamed: "But...... This is the prefect's order......"

"The daughter's family should know how to respect and love herself, chastity is greater than life, no one can tell her!" Shen Xi was righteous and stern.

The girl hid her face and wept, and went out crying.

Now Shen Xi didn't dare to bathe anymore, and he couldn't even close the door tightly, and it would be bad for him to come in again while he was washing. He hurriedly closed the door, took out the clothes in the baggage and changed them, and then went out, at this time Zhang Lian was talking to several accompanying officials, but he didn't expect Shen Xi to come out so soon.

"Honcha-sama, what are you?"

Zhang Lian looked at Shen Xi curiously...... I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed in front of people and send you a beautiful woman in private, but you will be finished so quickly?

Shen Xi said: "I felt that it was still important for the emperor, so I quickly changed my clothes and came out." Governor Zhang, please......"

Zhang Lian had puzzlement on his face, as if he was thinking, where did you arrange the beauty I sent you?

Shen Xi was going to the prefect's yamen for a banquet, Liu Jin naturally didn't want to eat dry food in the post house, so he immediately came out to go with Shen Xi, and said in a weird way: "Shen Zhongyun always wants to eat alone, but our family found it early, I really didn't see it......"

Zhang Lian saw Liu Jin who took the initiative to come over, and his face showed a look of surprise, for him, it can be regarded as a "baby"!

Didn't Qin Cha behave like an honest and self-disciplined person?

Isn't there a ready-made breakthrough here? I gave a bribe to the eunuchs, you were both sent by the emperor, doesn't corrupting one equal to corrupting two?

Shen Xi said coldly: "Gonggong Liu, if you want to go, you won't go down." ”

"You...... What do you mean? ”

As soon as Liu Jin jumped high, he sent him up to punch and kick Shen Xi.

Zhang Lian saw that Shen Xi was a little disdainful of Liu Jin, and hurriedly persuaded him, and then said: "Father-in-law Liu, otherwise, the official will send someone to send some wine and food, so that you can enjoy it in the room for a long time, what do you think?" ”

Liu Jin snorted lightly!

Where is he to eat, he is simply going to see how many gifts Shen Xi has received. Shen Xi said yesterday that he could not accept any gifts after entering the city, but now his attitude is diametrically opposite, which makes him angry. But he also knew that he couldn't fight too hard with Shen Xi, in the end Shen Xi was the right man, and he just followed.

"It depends on whether Governor Zhang's ...... Understand the sophistication of human feelings. Liu Jin hinted in disguise that Zhang Lian wanted to bribe him.

Zhang Lian smiled and said: "Father-in-law Liu, please rest assured, the official knows how to do it, come here, prepare wine and food for Father-in-law Liu." ”

Liu Jin thought to herself, this surnamed Zhang will do things. He glared at Shen Xi viciously, turned around and went to the room, muttering, "There is a courtesy, who will go to what banquet with you." ”

……

……

Shen Xi arrived at the mansion with Zhang Lian and others, and only then did he know how grand and grand the reception banquet prepared for him was.

Not only the officials of the Quanzhou government and the county level arrived, but also the local celebrities and gentry and the big businessmen also arrived, and forty or fifty tables were set up in the courtyard of the government office, and there were three or four hundred visitors.

Zhang Lian and Shen Xi, one as the main and the other as a guest, were flattered by everyone present as soon as they came.

Shen Xi Lianzhong Sanyuan Wenkui Tianxia immediately became a lecturer in the East Palace, and was mentioned by these people countless times, and when Shen Xi sat down, it was already an hour later, and the sky was a little dark.

Zhang Lian personally poured a glass of wine for Shen Xi and said: "Lord Qincha may not know, this Quanzhou is located in the middle of nowhere, and there has been no Qincha for many years, but you have added a lot of glory to Quanzhou City." ”

"Yes, Lord Shen is a native of my hometown in Fujian, Tingzhou Mansion is not far from Quanzhou, Lord Shen Sanyuan and the first are not only the glory of Tingzhou Mansion, but also the pride of my people in Quanzhou."

"Lord Shen is soaring, and it must not be far away to enter the cabinet."

"In and out of the phase, the best minister ......"

Shen Xi felt that this banquet had changed its taste, I was just a petty official of the sixth grade, and you have four or five grade local officials here, now put down your face and face me with compliments, you are sincere so that I can't find the north in the clouds.

Originally, Shen Xi wanted to be modest, but he felt that he was afraid that he would offend people and cause Zhang Lian and others to be defensive about him, so it was better to pretend to be deceived by you and see what you were going to do next.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi smiled happily with a smile on his face.

In the eyes of others, this Lord Qincha is a bit of a stinky fart, but who called someone to be the champion at the age of thirteen and have the qualifications to be a stinky fart?

Zhang Lian didn't mention official business, and directly toasted Shen Xi, apparently intentionally getting Shen Xi drunk.

How could Shen Xi not know Zhang Lian's intentions? Anyway, the sky gradually darkened, and his collar and cuffs became a wine trough, and every time he drank with his sleeve covering the wine glass, he poured the wine cleanly.

Who knows if there's a problem in the drink? If you really get into some big trouble and want to poison me to death in Quanzhou, and report me to death when you turn around, won't I die a very unjust death?

Even if it's not poisonous, give me some tiger and wolf medicine to go into, and let me do something stupid, and then I may have to go along with you.

A wine banquet lasted until the last watch, Shen Xi looked drunk, walked crookedly, and even Zhang Lian didn't see that he was pretending.

"What are you waiting for, quickly help Lord Qin to send Lord Qin to the inner hall to rest, you continue to have fun, and you will not get drunk today." The lanterns around him had already been hung, and Zhang Lian continued to greet the guests.

The two of them came over to help Shen Xi to the backyard of the mansion, and without taking a few steps, Shen Xi, who was full of alcohol, said, "Thatched house...... Where is the thatched house, Benchin wants to relieve me, and take me to the thatched house quickly...... Well...... Thatched hut ......"

One of the attendants was a little embarrassed and asked, "What should I do?" Lord Qincha is drunk, send him back to the room or go to the thatched house? ”

"You stupid, the lord only told us to send Qincha into the room, don't ask for trouble." Another replied.

Shen Xi originally drooped his head, as if he was delirious, but when he heard this, he raised his head, glared angrily, and scolded drunkenly: "You dogs are only ...... If you don't help Ben Chin find a thatched house, do you want me to make a fool of myself and pee in my pants? I have to let Governor Zhang drag you out and break your legs. ”

These words frightened the two retinues.

The prefect Zhang Lian saw the compliment of this Lord Qincha in their eyes, and if the prefect really asked the prefect to break their legs, the prefect would definitely not frown.

"The thatched house is on the side yard, why don't we help the adults over?"

"No, no, it's a thatched hut for our subordinates, how can we let adults go? Otherwise, you hold on to the adults first, and I'll go find the night pot......"

Shen Xi waved his hand: "What kind of night pot are you looking for, just find a place to pee?" Hey, this flower is good, I'll pee on it and use it as fertilizer. ”

"No, this is the prefect's favorite flower, Lord Qincha, bear with me first, and the villain will go find you a night pot." The entourage was in a hurry and hurriedly ran to the next yard.

Shen Xi looked at another entourage: "Why don't you take Ben Qin to the thatched house?" ”

"Lord Qincha, wait a minute, won't anyone go to get you a night pot?" The attendant's face was full of embarrassment.

Shen Xi said: "What kind of night pot, Lord Ben wants to solve it now, is the night pot easy to use?" If you don't help Lord Ben to go, Lord Ben will personally break your leg Believe it or not? ”

The first one was left, and this one had no choice but to take Shen Xi to the thatched house.

Shen Xi thought to himself, when I didn't know that you had set a trap for me in the room again, trying to force me to obey? I can't deal with these two powerless and powerless servants, and I don't have to be a messenger.

……

……

Just when Shen Xi was trying to get rid of the two entourage, this Zhang Lian had already returned to the main hall of the mansion, and he had drunk a little too much at this time.

"My lord, it's all ready, two beautiful girls are waiting in the room, they are very good at dealing with men, and Guan Bao makes him happy."

A horse-faced master with a smile full of conspiracy.

Zhang Lian wiped his face with a hot towel, with a cautious look on his face: "This person is not simple, he is the champion at the age of thirteen, and now he has the emperor's weight, and he has been a lecturer in the East Palace for less than a year after entering the Hanlin Academy." In the future, it is really possible that it will be the elder and the first assistant. ”

Master Horse-faced was unimpressed: "My lord, no matter how powerful he is in the future, isn't he just a hairy boy now?" Thinking about his age, just knowing how to deal with personnel, just when he was thirsty for women, I heard that he was still good at antique calligraphy and painting, and when the time came, give him some, keep him shut! ”

Zhang Lian was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "If you want to do it, hurry up, don't go out with a voice." ”
