Each of the six counties in the north and south of the country has its own characteristics, and the specialty of Lingnan County is fine wine. The people of Lingnan County have always been good at wine, in addition to Guangfu, Shaocheng, Huidong and Meixian are also big wine-producing towns. Today's Lingnan County King is also a good wine man, and he was named the county king when he was only 20 years old. When he first arrived in Lingnan County, he issued an order that every 15 o'clock in March, each prefecture and county of Lingnan County should select a local winery to pay him a tribute of a cart of fine wine, and the winery that he liked the most would receive a heavy reward.

Now the king of Lingnan County is over 50 years old, and it will be 30 years since this decree was issued. Thirty years have passed, and it has become a tradition for all prefectures and counties of Lingnan County to pay tribute to the king of Lingnan on March 15, after all, it is a great honor to be rewarded by the king of Lingnan. In recent years, Guangfu City has been paid tribute by Jiang's Distillery...

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Xiaobai's mouth, which could explain why Tong Linglong Gambling House threatened He Feng to cast a wild snake sunflower that was not highly poisonous but not very poisonous, what they wanted was only to damage the reputation of the Jiang family's winery, not to make things bigger, so that the Jiang family would be difficult to retreat from the winery selection day on March 15th. As for the purpose... Qinghui Distillery naturally wants to show his face in Lingnan County, and Wang Ji, as the son of the county guard, may want to use this opportunity to obtain some political needs.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai already had a plan in his heart, and he whispered to Mu Xiaoshuang: "Miss Mu... I have a plan"

Mu Xiaoshuang nodded again and again after hearing this, and when she looked at Jiang Xiaobai again, there was already a strange light in her eyes, maybe she didn't know in her heart that this kind of strange light was not what ordinary women should have when they looked at their friends.

...

Two days have passed since the fierce fighting on the outskirts of the western part of the city, and the ordinary people in Guangfu City do not know about it, and the insiders Qinghui Liquor Fang and Jiang Xiaobai have not taken any action, and this matter is like a stone falling into a pool of stagnant water, which did not cause the slightest ripple.

In the blink of an eye, it was March 13, after the old man's treatment, Jiang Xun's condition has improved, the unconscious people in the hospital hall also woke up after drinking the herbs prepared by the old man, the family no longer pursued, few people in the city have talked about Wanli Xiang anymore, but there are not many guests who come to Jiang's wine shop to buy wine. In the past two days, several individual customers have bought the wine one by one, and the Qingxi Gate is happy to close their mouths, and every time they pass by the front of the Jiang Wine Factory, they are in a high-spirited posture. And Mu Xiaoshuang ran to Jiangfu every once in a while, saying that he came to visit the old gentleman.

In the east courtyard of Jiangfu, Mrs. Jiang seemed to be in a good mood today, and her originally gloomy and haggard face had returned to its former complexion. Jiang Xiaobai was thinking about going out, but was pulled aside by Mrs. Jiang with a smile on her face, only to hear Mrs. Jiang smile and say, "Son, why did you say that the daughter of Zhangfu ran to our house every once in a while." ”

Jiang Xiaobai saw that Mrs. Jiang's smile was a little strange, and he had roughly guessed the meaning of Mrs. Jiang's words in his heart, so he pretended to be confused and said, "Didn't others say it, come to visit the old man." ”

"Son, how are you like a log! Mrs. Jiang glared at Jiang Xiaobai, and said in a low voice, "I think that girl has taken a fancy to you." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense." There was a bit of helplessness between the words, and his mother really that man's heart again.

"Hey! Why don't you understand," Mrs. Jiang said hurriedly, "That girl is a good girl, she looks like a fairy... You believe in your mother once, but don't miss it, or your mother will hate you for the rest of your life..."

"As you always say, I'm still young, and I'll talk about marriage later. Mother, I still have something to do, I'll go first" Before Mrs. Jiang finished chattering, Jiang Xiaobai had already hurriedly interrupted, and immediately walked quickly to the door.

Jiang Xiaobai left, and Mrs. Jiang stomped her feet angrily and said hurriedly: "It's eighteen years old, how can it be considered young, your father has already married your mother and me when he is as old as you!" Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai didn't pay attention, he asked again, "Son, where are you going?" ”

"Go to the Yamen!"

...

The Yamen of Guangfu City is located in the south of the city, and the whole mansion looks like it has been around for a while. The plaque of the mansion is engraved with the gilded words "Guangfu Yamen", and there are two stone lions with teeth and claws in front of the vermilion gate, revealing majesty everywhere.

Inside the yamen, Qing Yunqi was pacing back and forth in the lobby, muttering to himself from time to time, as if he was anxiously thinking about something.

There was also a person sitting in the hall of the yamen, this person was nearly fifty years old, wearing an official uniform, with a pair of triangular eyes, sparse eyebrows, a mustache, and a towering nose like an eagle's hook. This person sat in the lobby, leisurely sipping the tea in his cup, in contrast to Qing Yunqi's anxiety.

Qing Yunqi was still pacing, and after finally going back and forth for the tenth time, he stopped and said, "Lord Wang, you should think of a way." "The Lord Wang in his mouth is the current Lingnan County Guard-Wang Yunlin.

Wang Yunlin put down the tea in his hand, with a smile on his face, and said indifferently: "Shopkeeper Qing, why are you in such a hurry." ”

"Lord Wang, how can I not be in a hurry... After the third and fourth children went to He Feng's house, there has been no news until now, I think eighty percent of them let Jiang Xiaobai be caught" Qing Yunqi paced anxiously again, "I didn't expect this Jiang Xiaobai to be so good, even the third and fourth children have no way to take him." ”

Wang Yunlin took another sip of tea, closed his eyes slightly, savored the fragrance of tea, and looked intoxicated, and said calmly after a long time: "The third and fourth children were trained by Xi Yuehong, and their mouths are strict and ruthless, even if Jiang Xiaobai is caught, it doesn't matter." You see, Jiang Xiaobai hasn't made any movement in the past few days, but he just detoxified those people in the medical hall. Tut... It's just a hairy boy, and he can't make any waves" glanced at Qingyunqi, and said, "You better prepare well, it's almost March 15, don't let the county king down." “

After Qing Yunqi heard this, after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that Wang Yunlin's analysis made sense. If the third and fourth children really can't stand the interrogation and say what they shouldn't say, then Jiang Xiaobai can't have no action until now, which just shows that although Jiang Xiaobai has arrested the two, he can't open the mouth of the third and fourth children... Thinking of this, Qing Yunqi had calmed down a lot.

"I have already prepared the wine for the tribute, and on the fifteenth of March, I was personally escorted to the county king's mansion by the dog. Here, I still want to thank Lord Wang for his support to Qinghui Distillery in the past few years, and Qing will remember it in his heart. Qing Yunqi said respectfully with a smile.

"Hmm..." Wang Yunlin was about to speak, when he heard the sound of drums outside the hall, he frowned, and shouted outward, "Who is beating the drum!" ”

I saw a yacha running in and said respectfully: "Back to my lord, the drum outside the door is a person who claims to be Jiang Xiaobai, and he wants to see my lord." ”

"Jiang Xiaobai?!" Wang Yunlin and Qing Yunqi glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Wang Yunlin waved his hand, and Qing Yunqi got up and walked to the back of the yamen lobby.

"Let him in!"

After a while, I saw Jiang Xiaobai walk into the lobby, bowed down slightly, and arched his hand: "Caomin Jiang Xiaobai, I have seen Lord Wang." ”

"Jiang Xiaobai, what is the matter with you coming to see this official" At this time, Wang Yunlin had already sat back on the seat of the county guard in the lobby, and said majestically.

"It's for the matter of paying tribute to the king of the county two days later," Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said respectfully.

Wang Yunlin let out an "oh" and asked, "I heard that there is a problem with the newly brewed batch of wine in your Jiang Distillery, can this matter be solved?" “

"My lord, this is exactly what Xiaobai wants to say," Jiang Xiaobai said, "There was a problem with the Wanli incense brewed by the family winery before, and this matter had a great impact on the Jiang's winery. Although the poisoned person in the medical hall has been unraveled by Lang Zhong found by Xiaobai, it still can't save the reputation of the Jiang family, Xiaobai... Until now, the real cause of the wine problem has not been found," he paused, and then said, "There is a problem with the Jiang family's wine, Xiaobai thinks that the Jiang family is no longer qualified to pay tribute to the king of the county, and the purpose of this time is to inform the adults that the Jiang family will not participate in this wine shop selection." ”

After hearing this, Wang Yunlin smiled in his heart, okay! This Jiang Xiaobai is self-aware, and it also saves me from operating behind the scenes in the selection of tomorrow's winery, so he chuckled and said: "Jiang's winery has such an awareness, I am very pleased... You must know that paying tribute to the king of the county is a top priority, and if the king knows that there has been a problem with the wine of the winery that paid tribute to him, then... It's hard for you and me. ”

"Yes, what the adults said is that Xiaobai also thought of this"

"Hmm..."Wang Yunlin bowed his head slightly and said: "The matter of Wanli Xiang, I hope your Jiang family will figure it out as soon as possible, after all, the Jiang family is a famous time-honored brand in our Guangfu City." ”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Xiaobai is still trying to figure out a way to do this."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can report the case to the yamen," Wang Yunlin waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing to do, you can retreat." ”

After Jiang Xiaobai left, Qing Yunqi returned to the lobby and asked with a frown: "Lord Wang, what do you mean by this Jiang Xiaobai?"

"Heh, what can it mean..."Wang Yunlin smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "If he doesn't do this, I will also deprive the Jiang Clan of its selection qualification tomorrow on the grounds of Wanli Xiang." When the time comes... In public, the face of his Jiang family is even more unsightly."

Qing Yunqi laughed and said, "Jiang Xiaobai, this kid is very smart, he knows how to retreat from difficulties. After saying that, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Jiang's Wine Workshop... Sooner or later, I will let it disappear into Dongcheng District" He has already made up his mind in his heart, and after March 15, he will report to the yamen that he will go back to the Jiang family and detain the good people privately, and when the time comes, he will not only be able to save the third and fourth two people, but also convict the Jiang family of a crime.
