Chapter 102: Qinglou
In the courtyard of the Zhao family, after the patriarch of the Hao clan trembled and made a bloody alliance, and never revealed the news, Steward Xin asked people to clean up Wu Yuanwai's body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The blood stains on the ground were washed away, and a new table of delicacies was put on the table, but everyone but himself had a bitter face.
The smell of blood has not completely dissipated, and the dark red soup in some dishes looks like blood, which makes these elderly local tyrants sick to their stomachs for a while. This was originally the Zhao family's house, but now Sect Master Zhao can't be the master at all, everything is ordered by Steward Xin, and then it is done by his strong men, and he doesn't take anyone else in his eyes at all.
said that it was to lure wolves into the house, which was also voluntary by the wealthy families of Guangwu County. This world has always been the law of the jungle, they can be powerful in the domain of Guangwu County, but they dare not offend the Jia family, which is known as the number one clan in the Western Soil. What's more, now that the major general has entered the city, it is impossible to do without a reliable backer.
Just when everyone was silent, a subordinate of the Zhao Mansion hurriedly came and was stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Steward Xin looked at Sect Master Zhao, and waited for the old man to nod before waving his hand to let people in.
I saw that the subordinate came to the front of Sect Master Zhao, and first peeked at it with a frightened face, and then said: "Lord, the county guard held a banquet in the Qinglou, and invited the whole and large gates of Guangwu County to attend the meeting, and the person who delivered the letter has been placed in the gatehouse······
Sect Master Zhao was taken aback, got up and said to Steward Xin: "Didn't you say that Zhou Junshou is on our side, how can you ······?"
"Don't be impatient······" Steward Xin smiled and soothed: "It must be Zhang Jun's ghost, it is nothing more than to invite you to discuss and discuss, why be afraid?" ”
Sect Master Zhao felt a little at ease in his heart, and then he talked about the others.
Some people are worried that it is a Hongmen banquet and do not want to go; Some are not afraid at all, and advocate looking at the truth and reality. However, after all, it was Steward Xin and Sect Master Zhao who took the decision, so after only arguing for a moment, they all set their eyes on these two people.
Sect Master Zhao arched his hand and said, "Steward Xin, since we are willing to only look forward to the Jia clan's horse, we naturally still have to listen to your orders." Whether to go or not, you have an idea. ”
Steward Xin said indifferently: "Since people are sincerely invited, how can you not go?" He got up and straightened the wide scribe's silk robe, and said, "Let's go to the feast together, and see what wine is sold in the gourd!" With that, he took the lead and walked out.
With Xin Steward taking the lead, the wealthy families instantly had confidence, and immediately hated the same enemy, got up together to follow, and cheered themselves up as they walked: With the steward of the Jia family and the county guard Zhou Envoy here, that kid didn't dare to turn the sky!

Guangwu County City, South Street. A three-storey wooden building stands on the side of the street, where the Green House is located.
Speaking of Qinglou, in the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is not a place for raising prostitutes, but a serious state-run hotel.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, not only were there groups of drunkards among the dignitaries, but the folk drinking style was not inferior. Especially the literati and writers, the wine style is even more hot, they either use wine to kill their sorrows, or use wine to escape the world, and some borrow wine to indulge. Due to the huge demand for sake and the rapid development of sake brewing technology, in addition to private brewing, the authorities have also established many hotels and sake stores that integrate production and marketing.
During the Cao Wei period, the official restaurant was also called "Qinglou", and the word "green" was just the color of the wine. Cao Zhi once had the poem "Qinglou Lindao". This kind of green house near the road is a market restaurant run by the government, because it generally occupies the best location in the city, so the business is very prosperous.
It was supposed to be curfew, but there were many people on the avenue outside the Qinglou. The mighty and majestic ironclad guards stood on both sides, and the streets were full of all kinds of carriages, all of which belonged to the wealthy families who had been invited.
At this time, all kinds of furnishings, screens, and barriers on the third floor of the green building were cleared, and neat tables and couches were placed in separate rows. On the main position, Zhou Yan is in the middle, and Zhang Jun is in the second place. The two talked softly, but only Zhang Jun was full of smiles, and Zhou Yan still had a cold face, and he spoke very well.
Originally, Zhang Jun was feasting on the wealthy family under his guise, but Zhou Yan did not want to attend. He was born in the imperial history, and he hated this kind of extravagant scene very much, let alone using his name to entertain guests, which was equivalent to being pulled into the water. Once something happens, it is impossible for Zhou Yan to stay out of it. But on the other hand, Zhou Yan had to wade into this troubled water, because no one knew what the little Langjun next to him was thinking.
Looking at Zhang Jun, who had been smiling, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Although he has been an official for many years, there is always a feeling of being seen through flesh and blood in front of this Lang Jun, and his bright eyes seem to be able to see everything. To tell the truth, the matter of the Hao clan's division of the remnants has nothing to do with Zhou Yan, because without him as the county guard, the head of Hucao would never dare to stamp those deeds of sale.
Guangwu County is a newly established county, which is not only incomparable with those large counties that have existed for many years in terms of heritage, but also undertakes the logistics and transportation of grain and grass to Jincheng. Since Zhou Yan took office, he has been entangled in all kinds of mundane affairs, on the one hand, he is not familiar with government affairs, and on the other hand, it is difficult for his decrees to go out of the county!
In addition to the other drivers and governors appointed by Gu Zang and the main books recommended by Zhou Yan himself, the households, laws, soldiers, officials, and cangwu cao are all controlled by the children of the local wealthy families. This led to the fact that whether it was the county's affairs or various decisions, he had to discuss them with the chief officer of Wucao. In this case, if the wealthy family wants to accept the remnants as tenants, how can he refuse?
Zhang Jun naturally knows this layer, in his eyes, Zhou Yan is not suitable to be the chief official of a county, because this person is too angry. What is bookish anger? is jealous and hateful and looking ahead, the former is not bad to be a rumored royal history, but the latter cannot be used to govern the party. Treat the wealthy family, you need to be both rigid and soft, and blindly compromising and giving in will only make them feel that you are weak and deceitful, and you will gain more inches!
Seeing that some weaker gate lords had arrived, they were not qualified to meet the county guard and the major general, and they were arranged to sit far away. In addition, the Zhizhong Engagement, the Farewell, the Master Bookkeeper and the Chief Officer of the Five Cao also arrived, and sat down according to the rank on the other side of Zhou Yan. Because both the central government was appointed by the central government, he was very close to Zhang Jun in terms of attitude. The master book was Zhou Yan's private person, naturally lukewarm, and the other five chief officials of Cao also ignored Zhang Jun, the young general.
It is not surprising that this situation occurred, when Zhang Jun went on a killing spree in Zhiyang, most of the dead generals and the relatives present were related, although it was not the degree of the enemy who was particularly red when they met, but it was impossible to let these people stick up to the close.
However, Zhang Jun doesn't seem to care about other people's attitudes, and he is attracted by the various wines on the table. If you want to see such a complete range of wine at once, you can only do it in a wine-producing place like Qinglou.
