Chapter 499: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet

Thinking about it like this, Han Xiao felt more and more that although Zhao Chenfeng knew about this matter, there was a chance that he was not involved.

It's just that, for some reason, although Zhao Chenfeng knew about this matter, he did not prevent his subordinates from doing so, but chose to turn a blind eye.

"What is the reason for this?" Han Xiao thought, "Is it to entrap his subordinates?" Or did Zhao Chenfeng have some tricks that his subordinates mastered, so he used this to blackmail? ”

For various reasons, Han Xiao is not clear, so he can only wait for the investigation to be clear before drawing conclusions.

However, Han Xiao still excluded Zhao Chenfeng, in addition to Zhao Chenfeng's identity, the most important point is that Zhao Chenfeng really did not have the possibility of taking such a big risk to earn such a little silver, because he did not lack such a little silver.

Thinking about it, before I knew it, it was dusk, and the sound of 'crackling' firecrackers outside kept reaching Han Xiao's ears.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Han Xiao walked out of the pool, changed into dry clothes, and left the bathhouse and went straight to Zhao Chenfeng's mansion.

As the commander of the Liaodong Prefecture, Zhao Chenfeng can be said to be the number one person in Liaodong, and his authority is even greater than that of those feudal officials in the mainland.

Therefore, correspondingly, Zhao Chenfeng's mansion is also relatively large, if you take into account the actual situation of Liaodong's vast and sparsely populated area, it is understandable that Zhao Chenfeng's mansion is larger.

Because according to Zhao Chenfeng's current income, let alone a mansion of this size, even in the capital Luoyang, it is easy for Zhao Chenfeng to buy a mansion of this size.

Besides, Zhao Chenfeng, who was born in the royal family, can be regarded as growing up with a golden spoon, and the mansion is wide and gorgeous, which is also excusable, and it is not worth Han Xiao's fuss.

The only thing that Han Xiao was surprised about was that in Zhao Chenfeng's mansion, most of the servants were people from Fusang and Goryeo. Especially those slaves and maids, one by one, the youth and beauty.

In this regard, Zhao Chenfeng also explained: "Among these people, General Toyotomi of Fuso sent more than 50 people, and the rest were all given by the Goryeo government. ”

As the number one person in Liaodong, he has a direct say in Goryeo and Fusang, and it is understandable that they gave Zhao Chenfeng so many subordinates, and Han Xiao did not have the slightest doubt.

However, Zhao Chenfeng didn't explain, but this explanation made Han Xiao doubt again.

Originally, since the imperial court enacted a law prohibiting the sale of people in the country, many dignitaries and nobles began to buy the population of foreign countries, especially the people of the Great Zhou Sweet Potato Country, as slaves, and used their power at home as usual.

This is a well-known thing, and Zhao Chenfeng actually doesn't need to explain it at all, but Zhao Chenfeng also explained it to Han Xiao in detail.

This made Han Xiao have to doubt Zhao Chenfeng's intentions again.

However, Han Xiao has experienced a lot of things, although he has some doubts in his heart, but Han Xiao does not show a little color on his face, and still greets Zhao Chenfeng with a smile, and talks about some new things that happened in Beijing.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Chenfeng put down the wine glass and said to Han Xiao: "Speaking of which, the old man has not returned to Beijing this year, I heard that the capital has changed a lot now, maybe next time the old man returns to the capital, I am afraid that he will not be able to recognize the road clearly!" ”

"What the general said is true, Luoyang City has indeed changed a lot in recent years. Even with the official, after leaving Luoyang for a period of time, it will take a long time to go back to adapt to the environment there.

However, there is one thing that the general can rest assured, at the request of the Zongren Mansion, His Majesty has allocated a huge amount of money from the interior to build a mansion in the suburbs for royal personnel like the general who have made outstanding contributions to the Great Zhou. ”

"It's still Your Majesty's lenienness!" Zhao Chenfeng sighed, "Like me, although it is true that I was born in the royal family, I can have a relationship with Your Majesty, in fact, I have already come out of the five suits, I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such a relationship with me, I ...... I really don't know how to repay His Majesty's Longen......"

As he spoke, tears appeared in the corners of Zhao Chenfeng's eyes.

Seeing this, Han Xiao hurriedly comforted: "General, don't be sad, Your Majesty is lenient, isn't it a good thing to treat a royal family like a general whose bloodline has long been remote?" The general should be happy! ”

"Lord Han is right, it's the old man who has lost his temper, and the old man should punish himself with three cups!" Zhao Chenfeng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his wine glass and drank it all, not waiting for Han Xiao's persuasion at all.

Running all the way, his body was deprived, Han Xiao didn't want to drink, but seeing Zhao Chenfeng drinking three glasses in a row at this time, Han Xiao couldn't shirk it, so he could only smile bitterly and drink it with Zhao Chenfeng.

Unconsciously, it was getting late and late, and Han Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and was about to go back to rest.

I didn't want to do it at this time, and the people in Zhao Chenfeng's mansion suddenly came forward to say: "Master, the three people of Commander Zhang, Commander Li, and Commander Feng of the three guards in Dingliao have come to ask for a meeting. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chenfeng frowned and said, "This is the New Year, they accompany their wives and children to keep the New Year, what are they doing here with the old man?" ”

That being said, Zhao Chenfeng still let the three of them in.

salute

After a few words of greeting, Zhao Chenfeng asked the three of them: "What are you doing for this big New Year?" ”

"Isn't this a person who is not used to it?" Commander Zhang of Dingliao Zhongwei said with a smile: "In the past, on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the general who kept the New Year with the last generals, but this year I suddenly spent it alone, I felt quite boring, so I came to accompany you!" ”

As he spoke, Commander Zhang looked at Zhao Chenfeng suspiciously, and said, "Isn't it the general, the good wine you hid is not willing to let the brothers take a sip!" ”

"Where's the word!" Zhao Chenfeng laughed, introduced the three generals under his command to Han Xiao, and ordered someone to go to get the wine.

After the three of them sat down, Zhao Chenfeng said with a smile: "Today you are stained with the light of Lord Han, the old man has a daughter red that has been stored in a jar for twenty years, and he has never been willing to drink it." If it weren't for the arrival of Lord Han today, the old man would still be reluctant to take it out! ”

"That's really stained with Lord Han's light!" The three guard commanders nodded to Han Xiao one by one, which was regarded as thanks.

"I don't know why Lord Han came to Liaodong?" At this time, Commander Zhang suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Han Xiao glanced at Zhao Chenfeng, who was at the top, and when he saw that he shook his head slightly, he smiled and said, "This official is not here for a big deal, but it is just to investigate some things at the behest of the emperor." ”

Han Xiao called Zhang Lingyang as an excuse, and Commander Zhang made it naturally difficult for the three of them to ask, so they could only drink alone, and the scene fell silent for a while.

At this time, Zhao Chenfeng suddenly spoke: "Speaking of this matter, the old man will say hello to the three of you first." Lord Han's investigation may involve some of our guards in Liaodong, so in the future, when Lord Han goes to your guard post to investigate, no one is allowed to stop him, otherwise you are the only one who asks, do you understand? ”

"Don't worry, general, you understand!" Regarding Zhao Chenfeng's words, the three of them naturally obeyed everything.

However, after listening to Zhao Chenfeng's words, Han Xiao frowned deeply, and glanced at Zhao Chenfeng intentionally or unintentionally......
