Liu Cai has been an official for decades, and he is not a gentleman who is not in a mess, and he has seen many beautiful women, but the nephew in front of him is really the first time he has seen it. Not to mention that this woman's dark skin and big feet do not meet the standards of today's beauties at all, just on this occasion, even if she is really a concubine, she should not bring it.

Not to mention that this woman is dressed in a military uniform and tights, which is even more vulgar. On such occasions, it was supposed to be a gathering of court officials, and when the poetry was romantic, what was the matter with getting a practice style? Liu Cai frowned slightly, and said in his heart: I have long heard that this Yan Hong has nothing to do, and he loves to mess around the most, it seems that the rumors are true, how can he not bring a woman on such an occasion?

Sun Yuerong was asked this question, and her pretty face flushed with shame. Yan Hong laughed loudly and said, "Shibo, what else is there to ask about this?" This daughter Sun is a concubine of her nephew Xinna. Staying in the inn for fear that she would be lonely, bring her to see the world, could it be that Shibo is not welcome? ”

Liu Cai hurriedly smiled and said, "How dare you? My yamen, my nephew came here to go home, why is it not welcome? It's just that there are big men in front of this banquet, and it is too inconvenient to let the favorite concubine of the virtuous nephew be among them. Someone's coming. He gave an order, called the chief next to him and said, "Let the maid in the back come over and lead this Sun lady to the inner house." There is another seat in the inner house, which is served by the lady and the lady. ”

Sun Yuerong looked at Yan Hong. She was born in the green forest, how can there be so many rules? At the banquet of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, there have always been more men and fewer women, and those women sat together, and they did not feel any inconvenience and avoidance. But now that I heard what Liu Caiyi said, I felt that if I didn't leave, it would inevitably make my husband embarrassed.

Yan Hong said: "Yuerong." Go with this sister. Later, the banquet was dispersed. I'll call you. Sun Yuerong followed the maid to the backyard.

Wait until Sun Yuerong leaves. Liu Cai invited Yan Hong to the table. As for Xi Tong, Liu Lian and others, some others have already led them to the other courtyard to eat wine and rice. Yan Hong thought to himself, since he came to Jinan, although he made a big fuss about the Spring Pavilion and offended Chang Zhifu, but this Liu Cai is an important henchman of his own family, and his grandfather also said that he is really determined to take Chang Zhixiao. Liu Cai will help. Therefore, he is not afraid of any tricks at the moment.

After Liu Cai waited for Yan Hong to sit down, he introduced the full guests to him one by one. It turned out that among them, there were Qian Feng, the political envoy, Li Shouzhen, the imperial historian Fang Yongxian, and the commander Gao Yanzong, all of whom were among the few civil and military officials in Shandong Province. In addition, there is another black-faced man in his forties and fifties, but he is Wang Xuan, the richest man in the local area.

Yan Hong heard the word Wang Xuan, and his heart moved slightly. When Zhang Qingyan came before, he said that Wang Xuan should not be underestimated, and Sun Yuerong also told him some magical rumors about Wang Xuan. Now this mysterious tyrant is in front of him. How can you not look carefully?

After all, he sold insurance in his previous life, and he is still somewhat sure of his profession. But seeing that this person's face is black and red, his appearance is not amazing. Although he was dressed in a long shirt woven from high-quality silk (no one cared about the Hongwu ban that merchants were not allowed to wear silk), and he was a little rich, but from the hands that still looked rough, and the appearance of being at a loss, it can be seen that he is essentially an old country farmer who has never seen the world.

"This person is the richest man in Jinan? In this kind of banquet for the leading figures in Shandong, there is actually a place for him? Yan Hong secretly wondered in his heart, how could Liu Cai's feudal officials sit at the same table with a local tyrant?

Liu Cai is worthy of being a veteran of officialdom, and looking at Yan Hong's gaze, he seems to be able to see what he thinks in his heart. After drinking half a glass of wine, he said, "Virtuous nephew, Wang Yuanwai is the number one good man in this mansion. Nowadays, there is a famine in Shandong, rice and grain are scarce, and millions of victims have no way to make a living. Although there are millions of Shicao rice in Dezhou and Linqing, it is for the supply of Jingshi and the use of the nine sides, and I cannot transfer it at will. If it weren't for the king's opening of a warehouse to give relief, I don't know how many people would starve to death. Thou shalt not neglect such gentry who are on the good side. ”

Yan Hong thought to himself, just rushing to this hillbilly, aren't you afraid of tarnishing the word "gentry"? But of course, he won't say this explicitly, he still smiled and said: "Shibo Ming sees, the little nephew is this Qincha, to tell the truth, this time I went to Shandong, one is to make a fortune, and the other is to marry the Sun family, as for this relief, I really don't have much leisure to care." Of course, Wang Yuanwai is willing to send a large amount of food to help the victims, so he is naturally a living immortal, a great benevolent person, and Ben Qin will also give you a cup. ”

Yan Hong immediately raised his glass, and all the officials also raised their glasses to each other. Wang Yuanwai didn't even dare to say it, so he quickly picked up the cup with both hands, drank it all, and stopped talking. Yan Hong said again: "Since Shibo mentioned the disaster relief, then I just need to ask more." It is said that the imperial court's silver relief has been in place for a few days, why don't you see the government pay for it to buy rice and rice? ”

Liu Cai said: "Virtuous nephew, speaking of the old man's courage, he is commensurate with the old brother of Lingzun Xiaoge, we are a family, and I won't hide some things from you." If the imperial court did not send a messenger, we should take care of the almsgiving, but now the imperial court has sent a messenger. If we do it before you do, we will inevitably be suspected of stealing merit. And once the matter comes out, the black pot is carried by Shandong again, and it is always thankless. Therefore, if the Son of Heaven does not reach the decree one day, it will be difficult for the government to come forward to operate it one day. ”

Yan Hong heard Liu Cai say this, knowing that this is also the practice of officialdom, he has never sought merit, but he has always sought no fault, for fear of being taken responsible. He said: "In this way, my little nephew and I brought Sun's light clothes to Jinan Mansion, but it was to let the people of Shandong get relief a few days earlier, Ha Luha." ”

The king didn't speak for a long time, but at this moment he said: "Master Qincha is so considerate of our little people, and everyone is naturally grateful to Dade." ”

Liu Cai glanced at Wang Xuan, but said: "Virtuous nephew, as far as the old man is concerned, you don't have to worry about this matter." It's better to stay a few more days, and wait until the deputy envoy of Nahai arrives with a full set of honor guards, and he and Qian Fangbo will cooperate. In this way, you don't have to work hard, and secondly, you have the credit, and the first credit is you, and if you make a mistake, you will naturally be at fault. Why do you wade into this troubled water? What's more, now the truth in Shandong will not tell you that there is no grain in the treasury, and it is often empty and empty. The government has no food to distribute, and even if it pays for rice, it is a drop in the bucket. If you are not careful, it will be a big mess, we are our own family, and we don't have to be polite with you, this matter can not be mixed up. It doesn't matter if you're starving to death a few poor ghosts. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he said with a smile: "Thank you Shibo for your advice." In this case, as soon as the deputy envoy arrives, the deputy envoy of the sea and Qian Fangbo have bothered a lot, come! I'll give Qian Fangbo a glass first. ”

This group of officials looked at Yan Hong like this, and they each made calculations in their hearts. Originally, when Yan Hongwei first arrived here, he used thunderbolts to destroy the Spring Pavilion and capture Chang Shouye. When the news came, these people only thought that the court really sent a white bread man, which was terrible. Although Liu Cai is a henchman of the Yan Mansion, according to common sense, he is not afraid of this junior messing around, but it is always right to be more careful since ancient times.

Therefore, he set up this banquet and called all the officials to accompany him, and he also had a temptation heart. As for Chang Zhixiao, who offended Yan Hong, he didn't call over.

I don't want to look at it now, but my mind is in vain. Judging from these few words at the banquet, this Yan Hong is nothing more than a wandering and wine-colored person, so there is no need to beware of him. It is expected that he will always keep his eyes open, and send him to the door to find death.

Who knew that Yan Hong's move was also pretending to be crazy and stupid. Although he smashed the Spring Appreciation Pavilion, after all, he remembered his father's instructions that he could make less trouble when he came to Jinan. In front of the Spring Appreciation Pavilion, the close cooperation between Fang Yongxian and Chang Zhixiao, Xu Yan, had already made him mutter. So at this banquet, he naturally won't be sharp. Anyway, Yan Hong was originally a gentleman, so let's just go to the end, and let's see what the attitude of these officials is.

The hearts of these officials fell to the ground, and the banquet really made the guests and hosts happy and behaved unscrupulously. Wang Xuanwang is still pitiful with few words, turning over and over just persuading wine, and some people toast to the point that the glass is dry. Yan Hong found that this guy had a strong point, that is, he drank with an astonishing amount of alcohol, his face was red, his tongue was short, and his hair was short, but the other party's demeanor was still calm, and he was not drunk at all.

When the wine was hot, Liu Cai said: "Virtuous nephew, the old man has heard about today's daytime. It is Chang Yanei who seeks death by himself, to provoke the virtuous nephew to you, and to do those things that are done, that is, if the virtuous nephew does not deal with him, the old man will not let him go. ”

Yan Hong said with a smile: "Old Uncle Mingjian, my little nephew came to Jinan City for a private visit, and saw a woman who was quite attractive, so he did a good deed, and he expected to accept her as a maidservant, but who knew that this villain under Chang Yanei actually came to rob the little nephew." Shi Bo knew that his little nephew was in the capital and was also a well-known little king of Yama on the street, how could he be allowed to bully like this? That Chang Xiaoyanei also didn't want to die by himself, and he knew the name of his little nephew, and he dared to come to be verbose. I saw that he didn't have a tutor, so I disciplined his father for one or two. However, the old man who looks at the wise side has a lot of friendship with the father and son of the Chang family. ”

Fang Yongxian hurriedly said: "Yan Qincha misunderstood, Chang Taishou and I are officials in the same city after all, I heard that Chang Yanai asked someone to take it, and I thought that it was a misunderstanding, so I rushed to persuade him, this is there." Who knew that Chang Yanei did such a thing, even if the lower officials let him go, Yan Qin sent him to deal with him, and he dealt with him very well. ”

Liu Cai said: "This kind of dog talent, the virtuous nephew has taught him a lot. However, it is always the old man who has no way to do it, and there is such a villain on the ground, and he is also guilty of negligence. I also hope that my nephew will be in Banzai and Ge Lao, and take care of it more. As he spoke, Liu Cai clapped his hands several times. The close-fitting chief brought a brocade box and handed it to Yan Hong. The opening of the brocade box, there is a large stack of silver tickets, look at it under the lamplight, the face value is about five hundred taels, look at this stack is afraid of no less than twenty, this is ten thousand taels?

Damn, Yan Hong's wine is not half awakened. It's not the first time he's collected money, but he's never seen such a big deal. I saw Liu Cai smile and said: "The virtuous nephew has been running all the way, and he has been frightened in Qingxian and Dezhou, a little heart, for you to use the shock, you don't have to be polite, just accept it."
