"The little prince Mingjian, there is no other meaning in the next, just thinking about a little bit of heart, my father and others also want to take this opportunity to thank the little prince for the grace of extending his hand, if the little prince is willing to move, it is really a blessing for the inferior three lives."

Seeing that Hongqing didn't reply for a long time, Dong Chengbin's heartstrings that had just loosened down immediately tightened again, you must know that the master in front of him is known as "officialdom killing stars", and the means have always been extremely ruthless, and this time it is even more coercive to the holy decree, if it is really a thunderbolt method, I am afraid that I don't know how many people in Yangzhou City will go bankrupt, because of this, Dong Chengbin's heart immediately became empty, and he hurriedly squeezed out a few strong smiles, and explained anxiously.

"Brother Dong is serious, the previous thing is just a gesture, it's not enough to worry about it, Ben Baylor has never been very lively, this wine feast, it's not necessary, but I haven't seen it for many days, but I have to have a good life and narration, so it's okay, Ben Baylor hasn't eaten yet, why don't we have a drink together in this station, but I can also have a good time, I don't know what you brothers want?"

The wine feast of "Tianxing Tower", Hongqing will definitely not go, not to mention Dong Chengbin and others to invite, that is, the officials of Yangzhou come to invite, Hongqing will definitely not go to the banquet, this is not only to avoid suspicion, but also a gesture, to show that it is high pressure, in this way, it is possible to induce the salt merchants to play a stupid trick, not for anything else, just because Hongqing does not plan to stay in this Yangzhou city for a long time, what he wants is to break the situation as soon as possible, and naturally will not easily have unnecessary relations with the salt merchants, of course, you can not go to the banquet, But it doesn't hurt to keep Dong Chengbin and others drinking and feasting together, and the fight is to listen to the idea of fiction and reality.

"This ......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing say this, not only Dong Chengbin was dumbfounded, but the rest of the sons and brothers were all stunned, no one, their parents are still sitting and waiting in the "Tianxing Tower", and a few of them who are sons can't invite people, they actually stay at the post station to eat and drink, no matter how you look at it, the problem is that Hongqing has already sent out an invitation, if you don't agree, then you won't give Hongqing face, and the consequences are not something that all the sons and brothers can afford.

"The little prince is so warmly invited, we should be happy to obey the fate, but I am in a hurry before coming, I am afraid that I have to inform the family, and ask the little prince to be accommodating."

Among the sons, Sun Zhengtao was obviously the fastest to respond, and while hurriedly accepting Hongqing's invitation to the banquet, he also found a reason to go to the ventilating news.

"This is natural, you brothers, please take care of yourself, Ben Belle will ask someone to prepare food, and I will have a good drink today."

Hongqing is a shrewd individual, how could he not know that what Sun Zhengtao said about informing the family is false, and hurried to the "Tianxing Tower" to report the news, but he didn't want to say it, but nodded with a smile and agreed.

"Thank you for your kindness, and let me go down and go back."

Seeing that Hongqing didn't mean to make things difficult, Sun Zhengtao's anxious heart calmed down a lot, and he hurriedly confessed his guilt, hurriedly withdrew from the hall, and went to send someone to wait for the people waiting in the "Tianxing Tower".

"Tianxing Building", known as the first floor of Yangzhou, the history can be traced back to the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, although it has been looted by war, rebuilt several times, but the signboard of the first restaurant in Yangzhou has never fallen, in the past it is the most prosperous place in Yangzhou City, and today it is even more rich and full of buildings, but all the salt merchants in Yangzhou City have been sitting in the building, not only that, Yangzhou officials are also in it, and even the two giants that have never been harmonious - He Mingfu and Yangzhou Governor Che Ming are among them, The restaurant on the entire three floors was crowded, but the chairman on the third floor was vacant, and this empty one was precisely the main seat, waiting, naturally it was Hongqing, the Qincha Baylor, if he didn't arrive, this wine feast would naturally not be opened.

On both sides of the main seat are VIP seats, sitting naturally He and Che two giants, as for the other four escorts, in addition to the four major merchants, there are more people, on the left hand side, sitting He Mingfu is a black and strong man, full of horizontal meat, I can't see a little bit of businessman's atmosphere, but the rivers and lakes are full of gangsterism, this person is the first Liu Ba Nu in the current general business, as for the middle-aged fat man who is like a smiling Buddha, but it is Dong Wentao, the head of the Dong family, and the lean middle-aged man who sits opposite under the car Ming is named Wang Panshou, It is the head of the Wang family, his son Wang Cunmiao married Cao Yin's third daughter, and his sister was allowed to Cao Yin as a second room, and the Cao family is a friend and in-law, as for the last seat is the head of the Sun family, Sun Wanquan, although these six people are sitting upright, their temperaments are very different, but their expressions are all the same Mu Ran, no one is willing to speak, all sit silently, they don't speak, no one in the restaurant dares to be presumptuous, so the restaurant that should be noisy is as dead and silent as a ghost at the moment.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

In the dead silence of the faction, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor, and everyone sitting on the third floor was immediately refreshed, and their eyes swept towards the entrance of the corridor.

"What's the matter, huh?"

Seeing that it was the family in his house who broke upstairs, Wang Panshou, who was originally sitting upright, suddenly became a little angry, and when he saw the stunned appearance of the family, he was even more angry, and he snorted heavily.

"Ah, ladies and gentlemen, my young master said that Lord Qincha set up a wine feast at the post station, saying that he wanted to have a good drink with all his sons, so he would not come to the 'Tianxing Tower', please watch it."

When the family who came to report the news saw that his master was angry, his body couldn't help but tremble, how dare he delay any longer, and hurriedly relayed Wang Cunmiao's confession.

"Buzz ......"

As soon as he heard that Hongqing was not coming, the originally quiet restaurant suddenly exploded, and the salt merchants and officials of all sizes were in a commotion, and the noise was as noisy as a vegetable market for a while.

"Humph!"

Liu Ba Nu has never been a good man and a woman, she thinks that she is hard in the background, not to mention that she looks down on the Tongji on weekdays, but she doesn't even look down on He Mingfu, who is in charge, and when she heard that Hongqing actually released her own pigeon, her anger immediately surged, and she snorted angrily, stood up, and went downstairs without saying a word, and got on the sedan chair without looking back, and went back to the house.

"Alas, two adults, look at this ......"

Liu Ba Nu can be strong, but the rest of the salt merchants don't have the guts, after looking at each other, Dong Wentao, whose strength is second only to Liu Ba Nu, took the lead in opening his mouth, and asked half of the words tentatively.

"Oh, look at the memory of the lower official, there is still a case in the yamen that has not been tried, and it must not be delayed, He Daren Haihan, the lower official will take the first step."

Che Ming couldn't pee in a pot with He Mingfu, and he was here to welcome Hongqing, but when he heard that Hongqing was not coming, he didn't want to stay for a moment, so he got up, played haha, and made an excuse casually, regardless of whether He Mingfu agreed or not, he flicked his sleeves and went downstairs by himself, leaving only a group of people waiting there stunned.

"Lord He Haihan, the lower officials also have something to do, so I won't stay long, and I will leave."

"Lord He, forgive me, the lower officials have other mundane affairs, farewell, farewell."

……

As soon as Che Ming left, the officials of all sizes under the Yangzhou Mansion also followed suit, and they all dispersed after finding an excuse, except for a group of salt merchants in the building, only the officials of the salt transportation envoy Yamen were still reluctant to stay in their respective seats, but looking at their expressions, they were all thinking of leaving this place earlier.

"Well, it's all gone."

Seeing that the good wind and dust washing banquet became like this, He Mingfu was really disheartened, thinking that he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the pass this time, how could he have the heart to stay here longer, shook his head and sighed, dropped a sentence of explanation, and followed the people, as soon as he left, the salt transport made the officials of the yamen all walk in the same way, and the rest of the salt merchants saw this, and they had no interest in feasting and drinking, and they all dispersed in a mess. What should have been a grand wine feast died before it even began......

The skills of the post station chef are average, and there is no special preparation, the dishes that can be served on the table are very ordinary, that is, some home-cooked meals, as for the wine, it is good wine, but it is not provided by the post station, but Hongqing brought the imperial wine from the Beijing division with the ship, but the thoughts of the sons and daughters are obviously not on the wine itself, but in a different way to please Hongqing's happiness, as soon as the conversation box is opened, it is naturally not very acceptable, and most of the afternoon banquet is drunk, and the atmosphere is also very harmonious.

After the wine and food are full, the sons and brothers are naturally satisfied, and Hongqing is also a big gain, and the news from Cao Yin is corresponding, the Yangzhou salt merchant is indeed a lot more understanding, of course, from the situation is still far away, but, Hongqing is not in a hurry, the time and so is there, slowly put some effort should be almost, the mood is relaxed, sleepy will also rise, sent off the guest, hurriedly freshened up, then went to the bed, comfortably dreamed of Zhou Gong went, I slept until the beginning of the lantern, and then I got up comfortably, planning to call for dinner, and then take care of the rest.

"Little prince, Wang Cunmiao and his father are here, and they have been waiting outside for a long time, please let the little prince know."

Hongqing's idea is undoubtedly very beautiful, but unfortunately it can't be realized, no, he just got off the bed, and he hasn't stretched his waist yet, when he sees that Li Minxing has poked his head in from outside the door, and when he saw that Hongqing was already up, he hurried to the front and whispered.
