Chapter 152: Buying People's Hearts

"Miss is too worried, Yang is not a frivolous person, the reason why I asked this is because this matter is related to Lord Lingzun's case, and Yang has to ask clearly!" Yang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and explained.

"Jiao'er, you answered Lord Yang's words truthfully!" The old woman on the throne was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly said to her granddaughter.

Ren Jiao thought for a while, and her lips opened lightly: "The concubine heard that the second son of the Li family is shallow, but this matter was determined by the father, and the concubine is the concubine." ”

"Miss, have you heard Lord Lingzun mention that she wants to divorce from the Li family?" Yang Xiaoyu frowned slightly, and asked in time.

"It is rare for a concubine to see her father, besides, this matter is related to the concubine, how can the father say anything to the concubine!" Ren Jiao's face was as usual, but a shyness flashed in her eyes.

"Old lady, Miss Ren, Yang's words have been asked, so I will leave!" Yang Xiaoyu turned to the old woman on the throne and bowed her hand slightly, and said goodbye.

"Lord Yang, go slowly!" The old woman stood up and bent down slightly.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded slightly at Miss Ren, and immediately took Cao Tai and Chen Yingren out of the hall.

When he arrived at the gate of the Ren family, Chen Yingren suddenly said: "Young master, I feel that Miss Ren is not an ordinary person!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu didn't shy away from Cao Tai, and asked with a smile: "Why is it not ordinary, the official thinks she is very ordinary!" ”

"Usually when a woman loses her father, she should have grief and sorrow on her face, but Miss Ren has a calm face, as if Lord Ren's death has nothing to do with her!" Chen Yingren voiced his doubts.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and didn't speak!

"My lord, shall we go back now? Or do you want to go somewhere else? Cao Tai smiled and brought the horse for Yang Xiaoyu, and asked with a smile.

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything delicious in Yangzhou?" ”

"My lord, there is a drunken immortal tower five miles to the east. The wine and food there are authentic Yangzhou cuisine, and all kinds of food are available! Cao Tai replied with a smile.

"The order goes down, and the official will give the money. Please everyone go to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat and drink! Yang Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with joy, and he said lightly.

"Thank you, sir!"

Cao Tai hurriedly summoned the other brocade riders. Announcing the good news.

Like Cao Tai and Cheng Yun, they didn't spend much silver when they went to Zuixianlou to eat and drink.

But for a group of small flags and school captains, go to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat and drink, and the January Yulu will be gone.

Yang Xiaoyu turned over and rode towards the Drunken Immortal Building with a group of brocade clothes.

Yangzhou is a place where businessmen gather, and an ordinary restaurant is also more on the table than the bitter cold land in the northwest!

Zuixianlou can only be ranked second-rate in Yangzhou, and the people who go to eat and drink in it are also some small shop owners.

The wealthy businessmen dislike that the drunken immortals can't go upstairs on the table, and they can't do the tricks they want!

But the small shop owners regard the drunken fairy building as a paradise. If ordinary people want to eat and drink inside, they first have to weigh whether the silver in their arms is enough.

The Jinyi Ti riders are much stronger than ordinary people, but they are all wives and children, and when they enter the Drunken Immortal Tower, the rations for a large family in January will be gone.

Yang Xiaoyu estimated that a large group of people eating and drinking in the Drunken Immortal Building should be no less than a few thousand taels of silver!

After all, there are more than 200 people riding in Jinweiti, and ten people sit at one table, which is also twenty tables.

Come to the front of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Yang Xiaoyu got off his horse and looked around. Then he walked in with a group of brocade clothes.

The guy from the Drunken Immortal Building was a man with eyes, and when he saw a large group of brocade guards coming to the door, he hurriedly smiled and nodded and asked, "How many officials are there." The small one will arrange a private room for you! ”

"More than 200 people, arrange 20 tables, and serve the best wine and food!" Yang Xiaoyu commanded in a deep voice.

"The official's small shop is a small business, and it can't accommodate so many people!" The shopkeeper knew that Jinyiwei was not easy to mess with, but these uncles never gave money for dinner, and he didn't dare to invite more than two hundred uncles in, otherwise, he would have to work for the boss in the future.

"This is five hundred taels of silver, hurry up and serve the food!" How could Yang Xiaoyu not know about the shopkeeper's worries. He took out five pieces of silver from his sleeve and handed them to the shopkeeper. A look of impatience.

"Official, please!"

With silver, it's different, the shopkeeper has a flattering smile on his face. Hurriedly bent down and dodged the way, inviting the brocade guards to enter.

There were four tables of guests sitting in the lobby, and when these guests saw a large group of brocade guards coming in, they hurriedly stopped talking and concentrated on eating, their ears did not hear anything else, but their eyes were eyebrow at the same table.

On the counter on the left side of the lobby, a middle-aged man was reading words in his mouth, as if he was counting accounts.

"Boss, here comes a group of officials, this is the silver taels given by the official." The shopkeeper was worried that the Jinyi Wei uncles would not give the silver in the end, so he ran to the middle-aged man and handed over the original amount of silver taels given to him by Yang Xiaoyu.

In this way, Yang Xiaoyu and his party did not pay the silver after the meal, and it had nothing to do with him, a young man.

"It turned out that the official came to the shop, which really made the shop shine!" The middle-aged man took the silver ticket handed over by Xiao Er, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but on the face, he was still polite to Yang Xiaoyu and his party.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is our Lord Qianhu, why don't we hurry up and lead the way!" Cao Tai had the momentum of a lackey, and stood up and yelled at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man hurriedly saluted Yang Xiaoyu, for him like this, the Thousand Households of Jinyiwei are like the Lord of Yama, he can't afford to offend, so he can only accompany him carefully.

"Yes, the official is please!" The boss smiled shy and asked Yang Xiaoyu and the others to go upstairs.

Yang Xiaoyu took two hundred households and Chen Yingren to the private room on the second floor, while the other brocade clothes sat in the lobby.

There were two tables of guests who saw that there were too many Jinyi guards and couldn't sit in the lobby at all, so they hurriedly checked out the bill to make room for a brocade uncle.

Go up to the private room on the second floor.

The middle-aged man beckoned Yang Xiaoyu and his party to sit down, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen to order the preparation of the meal.

Yang Xiaoyu just brought the Jinyi guards to have a meal to improve his prestige, so that the people below would remember his love for the new Lord of Qianhu.

As for what to eat, he didn't really care.

Just let the brocade riders below eat and drink well!

Yang Xiaoyu sat in the middle of the table and asked Cheng Yun, who was sick on the left, "Cheng Baihu, what is the relationship between the Thousand Households and the various yamen in Yangzhou?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, Qianhu supervises local officials and arrests bandits, and has a very good relationship with the Yangzhou prefect's yamen, and basically has no contact with some other yamen, so it can't be talked about!" Cheng Yun replied.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded silently, although the local Jinyi Guards have a certain amount of power, they are too different from the Jinyi Guards in the capital.

The Jinyiwei in the capital is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and the power is monstrous, and ordinary ministers dare not offend Jinyiwei at all.

However, the local Jinyiwei is different, for local officials, Jinyiwei is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they can hurt themselves at any time.

Therefore, many officials have occasional dealings with Jinyiwei, and only on official business, and in private, local officials guard Jinyiwei like a wolf.

In this way, Yang Xiaoyu is much more relieved!

As long as the people of Jinyiwei Qianhu do not have a good relationship with other yamen, it will be difficult for other yamen to know the internal news of Jinyiwei.

And he has more time to stand in the shadows and observe!

After a while!

The shopkeeper serves delicious dishes, and all kinds of dishes are authentic Yangzhou flavors.

Cao Tai also instructed the shopkeeper to bring the best wine, pour it for Yang Xiaoyu first, and then pour it for Chen Yingren and Cheng Yun, and finally pour it for himself, and said with a smile: "My subordinates borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I salute the adults with a cup!" ”

Chen Yingren and Cheng Yun also raised their glasses together to salute Yang Xiaoyu.

The place to make friends in officialdom is at the wine table, which is a thousand-year-old rule.

Yang Xiaoyu intended to buy people's hearts, so he picked up the wine glass with an atmospheric appearance and said, "Come, drink together!" After saying that, he drank it all.

Cao Tai and Gu looked at him, and hurriedly added wine to Yang Xiaoyu, and said: "The adult has a good amount of wine, and the subordinates and others will toast the adult again." ”

Yang Xiaoyu did not refuse to come, in his opinion, the more wine he drank, the easier it was to get closer to the two hundred households.

……

There was chaos in the lobby below, and the knights in brocade clothes held wine bowls, guessed their fists loudly, and poured cups into their stomachs.

The twenty knights shouted loudly, the sound was noisy, and the scene was chaotic.

Some of the Tiqi drank too much, so they shouted loudly, and the eardrums of the shopkeepers who were shouting and screaming were painful.

The ground was littered with meat and bones, and spilled wine......

Until the afternoon!

The brocade-clothed riders had just drunk about the same, burping one by one, lying on the table and talking in their dreams.

More than 200 brocade clothes drank a total of nearly 300 jars of wine, and the broken jars of wine were thrown all over the ground.

Some of the horsemen blushed and staggered as if a gust of wind could knock him to the ground.

At this time, Yang Xiaoyu was almost drunk.

The wine is on the face, white and red, and it floats weakly when it walks.

However, his head was unusually clear, but his body was not called, he wanted to go east, but his feet went west.

In the end, Chen Yingren walked down with Yang Xiaoyu in his arms.

Cao Tai was even more unbearable, drunk like mud, with the smell of wine in his mouth, chattering and gossiping, and finally Cheng Yun walked downstairs with him in his arms.

"Official, can the food in the small shop still suit your taste?" The boss of the Drunken Immortal Building saw Yang Xiaoyu and his party coming down from the upper floor, and hurriedly ran forward to ask flatteringly.

Yang Xiaoyu's head was very sober, he knew that the boss was worried that Jinyiwei would not give him money if he ate and drank, so he immediately laughed and said, "The food is okay, you calculate how much silver, and the official will give it to you." As he spoke, he took out a wad of silver tickets from his bosom.

The boss glanced at the silver ticket in Yang Xiaoyu's hand, secretly swallowed and spit, with a smile on his face, and said: "Official, twenty-one tables of wine and food, a total of four thousand two hundred taels of silver, two hundred and ninety-four jars of wine, a total of two thousand nine hundred and forty taels of silver." ”

Yang Xiaoyu smiled, a jar of wine costs ten taels of silver, and a table of meals costs two hundred taels of silver. (To be continued)
