Chapter 136: There is no good feast
Now, what is in front of Qin Xuan is a big problem, no matter how you say it, the king of Mangdang County is also a relative of the emperor, if Qin Xuan is unforgiving, all the way to the end, whether he will suffer a loss, or the king of Mangdang will suffer, this is still unknown. Now, the father and son of the Meng family have gone home, if Qin Xuan had known that it would be such a problem, at that time, he would definitely investigate it to the end, even if the king of Mangdang came to ask for the crime, Qin Xuan could also say that he didn't know.
Seeing that Wang Xianling was a little anxious, Qin Xuan waved his hand directly and said: "That's it, Wang Xian ordered you to go back first, and the official will think about it, doesn't it mean that the father and son of the Meng family are going to hold a banquet tomorrow, and when the time comes, the official will show his attitude!" ”
After Qin Xuan finished speaking, Wang Xian Ling sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, and got up to salute and leave. "That'...... Xiaguan will go back first! ”
After the county order left, Qin Xuan directly put on his face, snorted coldly, and said softly: "Isn't the father and son of the Meng family just relying on a county king, and it is just a white jade bed of the county king......" Qin Xuan complained, but he didn't say how to solve it tomorrow. Among them, the white jade bed refers to the woman, and Qin Xuan also learned from Bajuna in Mingjia. It's quite apt to use it here.
Li Qingrui and Xing Honglin stood aside and also heard Qin Xuan's complaints. Li Qingrui knew about the Meng family's father and son, and said directly: "Son, if you go to the banquet tomorrow, the old man of the Meng family will definitely mention this matter to the son, and naturally apologize to the son, after all, the two brothers of the Meng family are rude first!" ”
"Hmph, didn't he think about it, he wanted to send me away after a banquet? It's just wishful thinking! As for the affairs of Miss Liu, I will also take care of it! ”
hesitated for a long time. Li Qingrui then spoke: "Son, even so, you can't directly refute Old Man Meng at the banquet, let alone make it difficult for Old Man Meng!" ”
"It's nature, how could I be so stupid!" Qin Xuan paused slightly, and then said: "Tomorrow's banquet, I have already thought about it, I won't say a word about the Meng family, and I will mention it truthfully Old Man Meng." I was perfunctory too! ”
After Xing Honglin understood what was going on. Then he proposed: "My lord, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's suitable or not!" ”
"Oh? Honglin has an idea? Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and signaled, "Honglin, don't ink, if you have any ideas, say it." Let's have a good life in total! ”
Xing Honglin nodded. He said, "Tomorrow's banquet." As Fang Cai said, the adult did not mention the affairs of the Meng family. Then take the opportunity to say, my lord, that you especially hate persecuting others and forcibly marrying others. In this way, if you don't wait to save Miss Liu, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for the Meng family! ”
Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully, he didn't know what to think, for a long time, he said, "Xing Honglin's words are very good!" I'll do this tomorrow, as for Miss Liu's matter, you two can reveal some rumors to Miss Liu's family when you go back, it's best to let Miss Liu make one of you your brother and brother, so I want to see if his Meng family's father and son dare to attack the Liu family again! ”
Xing Honglin and Li Qingrui glanced at each other, then nodded and said in unison: "Yes!" ”
Qin Xuan waved his hand and said, "The matter is settled, you two go and get ready, and wait for me and Yu'er to have dinner together!" ”
"This ...... Childe, don't want it! Li Qingrui didn't know what to think of, so he excused himself.
Xing Honglin also chimed in: "That's it, my lord, how can the two of us eat with my wife!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I've always regarded the two of you as my own brothers, what's wrong with having a meal with my sister-in-law, hurry up and prepare!" Qin Xuan directly raised his face and said lightly.
The next day, Wang Xianling sent someone to announce that in the Piaoxiang Building in Mangxian County, the Meng family's father and son, Wu County Lieutenant, and Wang Xianling had already waited in the private room on the second floor. The private room here is actually not a private room, it is just an independent small space surrounded by several screens.
To Qin Xuan's surprise, there were several women standing behind him, wearing sleeve skirts, but they were a little angry about drinking and having fun. The two brothers of the Meng family, because they offended Qin Xuan, were probably scolded by Old Man Meng, and sat on the chair very restrainedly. As for County Lieutenant Wu, he seemed quite docile on the surface at the moment, after all, Qin Xuan was still a messenger.
Qin Xuan had already made up his mind yesterday, no matter how he dealt with this matter, he would not have a bad relationship with the Meng family on the surface, even if he had the heart to clean up the Meng family, he could only use a soft knife in his back.
As soon as Qin Xuan walked into the private room, a group of people hurriedly got up and saluted Qin Xuan. A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Xuan's mouth and he stretched out his hand. "Everyone, don't be so polite, sit down!"
Everyone sat down, and several women behind them poured wine for everyone one by one, and the guys in the restaurant probably kept staring at the private room, and when they saw that everyone had arrived, a plate of dishes came one after another. After a few pleasantries, the table was full.
Old man Meng picked up the wine glass, faced Qin Xuan, and said, "Lord Qin, yesterday's incident is that the dog has no eyes. After all, the two of them are still young, and the old man will match Lord Qin on behalf of the two of them. This glass of wine, the old man will do it first as a respect, and Lord Qin is free to do it! After speaking, Old Man Meng raised his head and prepared to drink.
Before the wine glass was next to his lips, Meng Xin on the side hurriedly said: "Father, the doctor said that you are unwell and cannot drink!" ”
"Shut up, you little brute, how can you interject at this time!" Old man Meng turned his head, glared at Meng Xin, and scolded. Then he sighed deeply, shook his head at Qin Xuan and the others, waved his hand, and said, "Lord Qin, don't blame it." The dog is a mud that can't support the wall, a full piece of rotten wood! ”
Seeing this, Qin Xuan sneered in his heart: "The father and son are cooperating in acting, right, they can't drink yet, don't they just want to test me?" I won't stop you, see what you want! Thinking of this, Qin Xuan said with a smile: "Young man, Meng Yuanwai doesn't have to mind so much!" ”
Qin Xuan didn't directly stop Old Man Meng from drinking, but he was smiling, Old Man Meng didn't know what Qin Xuan meant, whether he was going to make it a good deal, or whether he wanted to continue to investigate. He was slightly stunned, and then raised his head and drank it all.
As soon as the wine in the cup was drunk, Old Man Meng coughed a few times, and several people at the table also believed that Old Man Meng couldn't drink recently, and Qin Xuan also believed it a little. Immediately afterwards, Wang Xian Ling picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "The lower officials don't know that Lord Qin is inspecting Mangxian. If you miss the distance, you will also complain to Lord Qin! ”
Qin Xuan was deliberately convinced, and it was no wonder that Wang Xianling had anything to do, seeing Wang Xianling say this, Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and handed the wine glass that had just finished drinking to the woman on the side. The woman had a little eyesight, and hurriedly filled it for Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Wang County Order, it is a temporary matter for the official, so it is separated from the dependence." This glass of wine. It should be the official Jingwang County Order! ”
Before Wang Xianling could speak, Qin Xuan took the wine glass, paused forward, and directly raised his head and drank it. Wang Xianling finished toasting. Naturally, County Lieutenant Wu was also embarrassed. Continue the pestle in place. For the sake of face, he also picked up his wine glass and apologized: "Lord Qin is righteous. The lower officials also sued for a crime, and they also looked at Lord Qin Haihan! ”
Seeing the trace of reluctance that appeared at the corner of County Lieutenant Wu's mouth, Qin Xuan knew that County Lieutenant Wu was just trying to save face, and directly sentenced Wu County to death in his heart. After the woman poured the wine, Qin Xuan also said with a smile: "After drying this glass of wine, even if it is over!" ”
Seeing Qin Xuan drinking, County Lieutenant Wu also said that Qin Xuan had softened to the Meng family, and his heart was naturally triumphant. Thinking that no matter what he said, he was also a member of the Meng family, and he was even more disdainful of Qin Xuan.
The rest of the table such as the county master book, the county Cheng, naturally inevitably toasted Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan did not shirk, clinked glasses one by one, and drank with his head up.
After the toast passed, two women walked into the private room, and as soon as they saluted Qin Xuan and the others, they walked to the wooden lattice on the side, a woman holding a guzheng and a woman holding a pipa. Old man Meng chuckled lightly, and then explained: "Lord Qin, these two daughters are one of the best Oiran in our Mangxian County, they can sing and dance, and this time in order to catch the wind and wash the dust for Lord Qin, I found a way to help Lord Qin!" ”
Qin Xuan can also listen to the excitement of the ancient song, as for the deep meaning, Qin Xuan didn't understand it very well, he swept over the people on the table one by one, and saw that everyone secretly glanced at the two girls intentionally or unintentionally, Qin Xuan couldn't refute his face, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Since this is the case, that official can be regarded as a bit of a blessing!" ”
As soon as the guzheng sounded, no one spoke in the private room, and as soon as the pipa moved, everyone shook their heads, obviously listening very attentively. Qin Xuan also closed his eyes and listened carefully. To be honest, Qin Xuan really doesn't have this artistic cell, and after listening to it for a long time, he still can't hear what the vague artistic conception is, so he can only shake his head with everyone, pretending to be a bad mood.
Originally, Qin Xuan bumped into him like this, and he could get away with it, but unexpectedly, Wang Xian Ling was clever and said: "Lord Qin, don't you also know a little about this song?" Why don't you just review it! ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't wait to pull Wang Xian Ling out directly and smash it hard, coughed a few times, so he had to continue to pretend, laughed dryly, and said: "Yes, the guzheng tune is deep and soft, the rhyme is relatively bright, crisp and subtle, chic and elegant, simple and elegant. This woman also played more appropriately! ”
Wang Xian Ling didn't realize that Qin Xuan was pretending, and seeing that Qin Xuan's comment was the head, he directly echoed it: "Lord Qin is so young, he has such a talent, which is really admirable to the lower officials!" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he was immediately a little embarrassed, and hurriedly interrupted: "Rong Benguan listens to how this pipa is played?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned to the other woman holding the lute.
The woman bowed her head slightly, and began to pluck the strings of the pipa, crisp as a stream jingling, thick as thunder through the window, eager as rain hitting plantains, soothing as a drizzle, fierce as a golden iron horse, and euphemistic as a new house joke. Qin Xuan didn't understand the guzheng, but Qin Xuan could understand the sound of the pipa.
As soon as the woman finished playing, Qin Xuan applauded. "This song is quite beautiful, and the grievances and hatreds covered in the song really make this official a little involved!"
Today, Qin Xuan originally planned to fool the past, and he didn't want to talk about yesterday's events with Old Man Meng at all. Hearing the two ancient songs, Qin Xuan made up his mind in his heart that he must focus everyone's attention on these two women. Seeing that Old Man Meng was about to speak, Qin Xuan directly proposed: "The two Oiran can be described as skilled, and the official suddenly felt that he wanted to sing a song, I wonder if the two of them can add a piece of music to the official?" ”
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, the two daughters were slightly stunned, and then glanced at each other, and one of the girls bowed her head and said: "Adults can sing it first, and when the little woman listens to it, she can dub it!" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he directly said in unison and said with a smile: "Okay!" Then the official will chant it first! After coughing a few times, Qin Xuan directly opened his mouth to sing.
"Drink dew in the morning, lie in the red glow at night, I hold a cup and get drunk and worry about it all night!"
"I missed my hometown and lost weight. A cup of Shaohua stunned a few peach blossoms! ”
"The remnant sun goes west, the moon goes into the clouds, I chant a few days of the world!"
"Cool the bitter tea, draw the eyebrows, and brew a few quicksand with a piano sound!"
"Mountains and rivers change ......"
With a little bit of longing for his parents and friends in later generations, Qin Xuan composed a song by himself and sang it with deep affection. His eyes were red, and he choked up a few times. The second daughter was first attracted by Qin Xuan's soft and novel songs, and then intermittently played music to echo it.
At the end of the song, the whole private room fell silent. There was a moment of silence. Wang Xian Lingcai spoke: "Lord Qin. I miss my family so much, why don't you go home, my Datang has always been filial piety only in the world, if Lord Qin goes home to save his relatives. Presumably, Your Majesty will not pursue it! ”
Qin Xuan coughed lightly. A grudging smile. Shaking his head, he said: "It's not a secret, a few years ago, this official's family unfortunately encountered a disaster. All but the official in the family were killed, and to this day, the official has not been able to find the murderer. Now, the official can only hide aside and miss for a few minutes! Speaking of this, Qin Xuan sobbed, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't mention this matter, we are here today because of fate, and it is a little sad to mention this matter!" ”
Everyone at the table didn't know if they were embarrassed by their face, pretending to be a little sad, or they were infected by what Qin Xuan said. In short, they all have sad faces. Old man Meng on the side felt that this matter could be used by himself, so he shook his head directly and said, "Lord Qin, why don't you tell me about the things at home, let me listen to it, maybe I can help!" ”
Old man Meng had a good idea, he wanted to sell Qin Xuan a favor, and it could be regarded as a matter for his son, and he would win over Qin Xuan. Unexpectedly, a wicked smile flashed at the corner of Qin Xuan's mouth, and then he spoke: "Okay!" , Since this is the case, the official said! If you can help the official find the murderer, the official will naturally thank you! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and when Qin Xuan saw this, he spoke: "Speaking of this, I have to start with my beautiful sister." In that year, my sister was twenty-eight years old, and there was a member of the dividends, Lu Renjia, because her daughter was married to the county magistrate, so she bullied others and did evil in the county. Until one day, I accidentally met my sister who was shopping, and I fell in love and went directly to the door to propose! ”
Saying this, Qin Xuan paused slightly, glanced at the acquaintances on the table one by one, and saw that Old Man Meng's brows furrowed slightly, while the others glanced at Old Man Meng intentionally or unintentionally. As for the Meng family brothers, they listened to it with relish, and Meng Xin even asked, "What happened later?" ”
Seeing this, Qin Xuan was happy in his heart, but his face looked very helpless, he sighed deeply, and then said: "My father saw that Lu Renjia was a little old and his reputation was not very good, so he directly refused. Unexpectedly, Lu Renjia directly colluded with a group of bandits, took advantage of the night, and killed at home, if it wasn't for the fact that the official was no longer at home that day, maybe my Qin family would be wiped out! ”
After Qin Xuan finished speaking, he looked at the people on the table again, especially when he glanced at Old Man Meng, without waiting for everyone to speak, Qin Xuan directly reached out and slapped the table, and said sharply: "Since then, this official has launched a poisonous oath, if this official sees that such a strong man is difficult, it is a matter of marriage, this official will definitely not show mercy, risk his life, and also get rid of such pigs and dogs as bad as beasts!" ”
Everyone at the table gasped when they heard Qin Xuan's sonorous and powerful words and gritted their teeth. Old man Meng's little eyes blinked, but he was muttering to himself in his heart: "I don't have nothing to do, now it's okay, the surname Qin said this, and the relationship with the Liu family, I'm afraid it will be over!" ”
No matter how stupid the two brothers of the Meng family were, they also saw that Qin Xuan's words were not casual at this moment, and when they thought of themselves and Miss Liu Li of the Liu family, they felt a little chill down their spines.
Wang Xian Ling also secretly slandered himself on the side, he didn't know whether what Qin Xuan said was true or not, but Wang Xian Ling understood that as soon as Qin Xuan's words came out, the Meng family forced the Liu family to marry, I am afraid that it will be temporarily retracted, at least before Qin Xuan leaves, the Meng family will not persecute the Liu family again, otherwise it will be a naked slap on Qin Xuan's face, according to what Qin Xuan just said, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.
County Lieutenant Wu also heard Qin Xuan's meaning, considering that he still completely offended Qin Xuan, and the Meng family had this kind of relationship with the Liu family, he simply sold face to the Meng family again, and said directly: "Lord Qin, the matter of your mansion is also very sympathetic, but Lord Qin is not considering it because of this, but because of this, Lord Qin disregards himself and restricts other people's marriages, is it a little inconsiderate?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan snorted coldly in his heart, County Lieutenant Wu expressed his loyalty to the Meng family, and Qin Xuan naturally saw it clearly and clearly. Glancing at Old Man Meng, and seeing that the corners of Old Man Meng's mouth were slightly upturned, Qin Xuan directly shouted: "County Lieutenant Wu, this official has made it clear that it is coercion, persecution. After a slight pause, he continued: "Today, the official is not afraid to emphasize it again, if the official sees such a person again, this kind of thing, the official will not spare it!" ”
Seeing Qin Xuan angry, County Lieutenant Wu didn't feel that it was good to be serious, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Lord Qin, Xia Guan Shicai didn't hear clearly!" As Lord Qin said, such people, such things, should indeed be severely punished! ”
Stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe, County Lieutenant Wu originally had a good plan, but unexpectedly let Qin Xuan fight back, allowing himself to echo a few words, which made Old Man Meng sigh helplessly. Qin Xuan is Qin Xuan in the final analysis, and the words have been said to this, even if what Qin Xuan said is false, Old Man Meng will not commit a crime against the wind, at least he will sell Qin Xuan a face. As for what Qin Xuan said about the house being wiped out by all the doors, whether it is true or not, it is not so important at this time!
Qin Xuan didn't move the chopsticks either, and the goal had been achieved, if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to talk a piece, and he wouldn't be able to pee in a pot at all. Qin Xuan got up directly, clenched his fists with both hands, paused forward, and said coldly: "This official is not strong enough to drink, and his body is a little unwell, so he will leave first!" After speaking, without waiting for everyone to speak, Qin Xuan turned around directly and said, "Honglin, Qingrui, go back to the post house!" (To be continued......)
