Chapter 23: The Private Room
"Well, then I'll eat wine, and you eat tea. Come on, come on, eat quickly, it'll be cold if you don't eat again. As he spoke, Li Jiwen picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Jiwen's face became much more ruddy, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "Di ...... Lieutenant Di, you ...... You are...... Just ...... I just came here and don't know our ...... County...... The county's ...... Feeling...... Condition. ”
"Yes, yes, the lesson of the county is that I have just arrived, and I still need to ...... to my seniors."
Without waiting for Di Renjie to finish speaking, Li Jiwen waved his hand and said, "I'...... I don't ...... No...... This...... This one. What am I talking about...... Be...... Yes, that's it...... No...... No...... Don't talk about this, eat...... Eat...... Eating vegetables ......"
Thanks to Di Renjie's good temperament, otherwise Li Jiwen would have to die in a hurry.
This Li Jiwen is also strange enough, he drinks and eats food when he doesn't speak, but after a while, he gets drunk and snores loudly on the table.
With last night's experience, Di Renjie no longer tried to wake up the county man, and directly pushed the door open and called the official waiting outside the door, and the two of them hugged Li Jiwen and sent him back to the backyard.
Before leaving, Di Renjie grabbed the official and asked in a low voice, "Where did Qin Xing go?" ”
The official was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "Qin Xing went to the banquet with Su Xian Ling and Cao Zhubo today. ”
"Oh? Do you know what kind of feast they are going to? ”
"This matter is not clear if it is small, and the county lieutenant is afraid that he will have to ask others to know."
"Well, it's okay, you take good care of Li Xiancheng, I'll go back to the county lieutenant's yamen first." After thinking for a while, Di Renjie said goodbye and left.
After returning to the county governor's yamen, the wine and food on the table had already been cleaned up. After thinking for a while, he casually picked up the case file on the table and slowly flipped through it.
"That's not right! How did you forget about this? After a few glances, Di Renjie finally remembered that he had made an appointment with Song Sansi to meet at that small noodle restaurant in the evening.
"Lieutenant Di, the guy from Jixian Building came over and said that someone invited you to dinner in Jixian Building, saying that it was your fellow villager, surnamed Song, called Song...... Song ......: "As soon as Di Renjie walked to the door, he bumped into a servant.
After receiving the message from the officials, Di Renjie was going to Jixian Tower. But as soon as he reached the door, he retreated. trotted all the way back to the room and changed into white clothes, and then went to Jixian Building.
But after going around the lobby, I didn't see Song Sansi. "Xiao Er, is there a guest of Song Sansi?"
"This master, Song Gongzi is in the private room, I'll take you over." With that, Xiao Er took Song Sansi to a private room next to the stairs.
"Come on, let me introduce you, this is the uncle of our county Yali Wang, you just shout uncle."
Di Renjie shouted uncle, and looked at Song Sansi with some puzzlement.
Song Sansi gave him a reassuring look, then pulled Di Renjie and said, "Uncle, this is my friend Di Renjie, your old man just calls him Xiao Di." ”
The uncle didn't think much about it, and greeted directly: "Come on, Xiao Di sit down and eat together." ”
Although Di Renjie ate a few bites with Li Jiwen before, his stomach was still empty, so he was not polite at the moment, and sat down to eat directly.
"By the way, Uncle Xiaodi, he is also working in the yamen now......"
"Oh? Which yamen is it, wait for me to talk to that kid in my family, and let him take care of it more. ”
"He, he just entered the county lieutenant's yamen, and it is estimated that he hasn't made a mess yet." Song Sansi said first.
"The county lieutenant yamen, it's not bad, without Cao Mi stirring up there, this yamen should be much better." As he spoke, the uncle turned his gaze to Di Renjie, with some inquiring in his eyes.
"Uh......" Di Renjie didn't know what medicine Song Sansi was selling in the gourd, so he didn't know what to answer.
"Hmm......" hurriedly swallowed the mutton in his mouth, Song Sansi said: "Uncle is not an outsider, Xiao Di, you can say whatever you have." ”
"Well, it's nothing, I just entered the county lieutenant's yamen, what's the matter." As he spoke, he threw Song Sansi a questioning look.
"No, I remember you saying that there was something wrong with an old case?"
As soon as he heard this, Di Renjie's brows furrowed, and he was very puzzled in his heart why Song Sansi was in such a hurry to bring up the matter of killing the cow.
However, Di Renjie was wrong. I only heard Song Sansi continue: "Don't you don't understand why Cao County Lieutenant became Cao Zhubo, today I specially ask the uncle to give you an answer." ”
"Come on, uncle have a drink first, let this guy be stunned for a while." Seeing that Di Renjie was frightened by his words, Song Sansi was not surprised, and directly pulled the uncle to drink.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, the original master Bo is gone, and it is reasonable for Cao Mi to make up for it, after all, the relationship between Cao Mi and Su County Ling is very close, and the ordinary people in Wei's County know it."
"Uncle, do you know why the previous lord Bo left?" Di Renjie hesitated for a moment, but still interjected and asked.
"You are asking the right person, if you want to ask others, I promise you don't know, if I don't have such a nephew working in the yamen, I'm afraid I won't know about this matter."
The look on the old man's face was proud and mysterious.
After drinking another glass of wine and satisfying the appetites of the two people, the uncle spoke: "Speaking of the previous lord, he was a good man, behaved in a proper manner, worked diligently, and the people in the county thought he was very good. ”
"But a few months ago, this person didn't know what was going on and was involved in a case of killing cattle, so he broke his career."
"Killing a cow? Do you know what's going on? ”
If this was put forward by Song Sansi at the beginning, it would be too conspicuous. But now that Di Renjie asked naturally, it would be much more natural.
"I can't say this very clearly, but I heard Xiao Wu mention it. If you want to know, I'll ask Xiao Wu another day, and I'll tell you when the time comes. ”
Hearing this, Di Renjie hurriedly refused: "Uncle is not busy, this is just gossip, where do you need to inquire about it." By the way, the little five that the uncle said is the king catches fast? ”
"It's him, you don't know. He, Xingwu, so we old people call him Xiao Wu. This kid is also sincere, and he has been guarding this Weishi County, otherwise, with his ability, he will go to Bianzhou to break through, and he will definitely be able to break into the famous hall......"
The old man praised his sons and nephews here, and Song Sansi and Di Renjie naturally praised each other. Especially Song Sansi, but he has only met once, and he wants to praise him as soon as he opens his mouth.
