Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Night Banquet of the Pit Man
Nanjing, is still Yanlai Building.
Today's owner of Yanlai Mansion is surnamed Li Ming, as a thousand Li officials under the command of the Jinyi Guard in the capital, with more than 1,000 people, and is responsible for the security of the East Palace.
Although Zhao Shun usually looks a little naΓ―ve, but in the depths of his heart is a clever and stunning, after Li Yan proposed a banquet for Nanjing officials, Zhao Shun just mentioned it in passing, and let the shopkeeper cry with a sad face to give up the right to operate Yanlai Building, one hundred taels of silver, indicating the price, to convince people with morality, Tong Su is not bullied.
It is estimated that few people are willing to go to Jinyiwei's invitation, but they can't stand the invitation of a group of captains to go door-to-door, so if they can't go back once, they will invite them twice.
In the end, he didn't even say a word of invitation, and directly put people over.
Invited to this treat, Li Yan is estimated to be the first in the Ming Dynasty......
Li Yan is a person who only does things according to his heart, a person who does things only by his heart, and Li Yan is not interested in other people's opinions at all.
Li Yan's plan is actually very simple, that is, to reason with this group of civil officials, and then he will be very happy to marry, each has love, each has gains, and everyone is happy.
There are many ways to reason, but Li Yan chose to eat, since Xiang Yu invented this kind of eating and killing meals, Hongmen banquet began to become popular, and was applied by later generations out of control.
If you don't agree with you, you will be chopped into meat sauce, and if you don't agree with you, you will have to take it out to feed the dogs, and the Hongmen banquet is not so delicious.
In Yanlai Building, the captain of the Jinyi Guard stood on both sides with a knife, the scene was a little strange, almost all the captains had a faint smile on their faces, and even some people who didn't like to laugh on weekdays squeezed out a smile.
They all look approachable.
But in the eyes of the officials, the captains had a devilish smile on their faces, and more importantly, ...... Their hands are always on the hilt!
All the officials present who were 'invited' by Jinyiwei were a little incredulous, this Li Yan actually dared to threaten the officials of the entire Nanjing in this way? Aren't you afraid of arousing the anger of the masses?
Thinking like this in the hearts of the officials, all of them looked a little ugly, and even more, some of the timid ones were already like ashes.
"Invite all my colleagues from Nanjing to gather here tonight, there is no other meaning here, just a simple meal, everyone let go, don't be so restrained, come on, drink and drink, I will toast you here first." Li Yan was familiar with himself, warmly greeted everyone to eat, picked up a glass of wine, and saluted the adults in Nanjing.
No one raised a glass, Li Yan I was not angry, I raised my hand to do it first as a respect.
"Humph! Master Li, you don't have to go around in circles, just say what you have to say, why bother doing this? One of the ministers said with a sneer.
"Haha...... This adult is serious, I was originally from Nanjing, and I was lucky enough to become a thousand households, and I can be regarded as a colleague. Li Yan laughed.
"Phew! Who's a colleague with your brocade guard lackey! Someone else shouted.
"Are we really not colleagues?"
"Fart! Of course not! β
"Then we don't have anything to do with each other?"
"Who's up with you lackey!"
"Hehe......" Li Yan smiled, and the expression on his face became hideous. As everyone said just now, you are not colleagues and have nothing to do with you, so ......"
Li Yan's voice changed, and his voice was cold. "Why do you have to stop you in every possible way when you marry next! Do you really think that Li was made of dirt? β
Li Yan was not in a hurry, and said leisurely, but anyone could hear the coldness in Li Yan's words.
"Lord Sun is a civil official in Nanjing, how can a civil official come with you, a brocade guard? We will never agree to this! β
Hearing this, Li Yan was faintly impatient. "Are you sure you have to stop Li from getting married?"
"Sure!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
gives a lot of face, sometimes people will be cheap, for example, now, Li Yan gives them a step down, they don't go down, they have to make Li Yan angry.
Bang Bang Bang ...... Li Yan clapped his hands, and Zhao Shun on the side immediately handed over a stack of white paper to Li Yan.
"My lord, this is what you want." After handing over the white paper to Li Yan, Zhao Shun said, and there was a natural smug look between his eyebrows and eyes.
Li Yan turned his head and forcibly didn't look at Zhao Shun, afraid that he couldn't wait to solve this group of civil officials, so he would solve Zhao Shun first......
"Which one was just talking about? Oh, Lord Wang......" Li Yan patted his head, took out a blank piece of paper from his hand for a long time, and read. "In the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, Wang Dacheng, the king of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, took a young woman in the suburbs and forcibly took it for himself, and the young woman's house caught fire the next day, and no one survived."
When the person who spoke just now heard this, his face changed, and suddenly beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his cheeks.
"Lord Wang is really guts!" Li Yan couldn't help but praise.
"Yo he! Lord Liu, the secretary of the ministry, you are even more amazing! You won't even let go of a ten-year-old girl! Tsk, what a daring artist, beast? β
"There is also Lord Zhang of the household department, who is more powerful than them, and you even keep half of Nanjing Wei's salary and silver by yourself, and die!"
"Tong, you are even more amazing! There is still a deal with the Tatars! Dare to sell illicit salt! β
Li Yan read them one after another, and all the people whose names were called were all pale, sitting on the stool and trembling, and they couldn't even hold up their wine glasses.
Of course, there are also people who have not been ordered by Li Yan, who breathe a sigh of relief there.
How many people who have been officials for many years can be as greedy as Sun Mao? The officials in Nanjing couldn't help but check, and one check was accurate, so no one dared to guarantee whether Li Yan deliberately didn't read it, and whether he wanted to wait until the future to kill himself.
This is a big gamble, but everyone present does not dare to gamble on their own future, and if they make a wrong move, they will lose their net worth and their lives.
"My lords, I don't know if what Li just said is the slightest mistake?" After reading it, Li Yan handed the blank paper to Zhao Shun again, looked at everyone present with a smile, swept it over one by one, and then asked pretending to be profound.
"Li invited you to come here today, the idea is actually very simple, that is, I want to have a drink with you to talk about the romance, but some people don't want to sit with me, so now Li has changed his mind......"
"I want to make a deal with you, and I'm sure the terms I offer will be acceptable to everyone......"
