Chapter 251: Response
After An Xian left, Guangyu stayed by the window.
There are two rows of wind lanterns hanging in front of the main entrance of Wangxian Tower, illuminating the entire road.
At night, Wangxian Tower's business was at its best, but Wen Chengguo led two teams of people to block the main entrance. According to the etiquette system, the emperor died within three years of state mourning. All entertainment and celebration activities are prohibited by the Chinese people. Although eating wine in Wangxian Tower is not entertainment, if someone insists on suering, they can also sue. Wen Chengguo is the most rigid in national law, and it is not a good thing to be bumped into by him. Therefore, many people who want to come to Wangxian Tower have also taken a detour. As for the drinkers who arrived at Wangxian Tower early, they all settled the bill early and walked away from the side door.
Without guests, Wangxian Tower will be deserted.
It took a long time for the doorman who had just gone in to report it to come out and reply.
Coming out with the doorman was a white-faced old man in a brown robe.
Wen Chengguo recognized that this person was the big boss of Wangxian Tower, Li Jida, the head of the noble merchants in Yingtian City.
Li Jida is in his fifties, with the shrewdness and elegance peculiar to a businessman, and his well-maintained face only has one or two shallow wrinkles when he smiles.
Li Jida stepped forward with a smile on his face and saluted Wen Chengguogong: "Lord Guogong is here, Li Jida has missed the distance, and he is guilty of sin." ”
Gong Wen Chengguo was impatient, but people greeted him with a smile, and Gong Wen Chengguo was not easy to attack, so he had to say in a businesslike manner: "The wine fairy Jin Ling is in Wangxian Tower, Your Majesty has a decree, and I ask you to tell me on your behalf and let the wine fairy go downstairs to receive the decree." ”
Although Li Jida is a businessman, he has been in charge of Wangxian Tower for 20 years, and he is a well-known figure in Yingtian City. At that time, Sima Zheng took advantage of Emperor Xia's punishment to ascend the throne, and Wangxian Lou was also strongly supported, so Sima Zheng also gave Wangxian Lou a gold medal plaque with his own inscription. For this reason, Wangxian Tower has a very high prestige in Yingtian City. Wen Chen Guogong is also not good to Li Jida, too ruthless.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Li Jida said with a smile, "Lord Guogong has been waiting for a long time, you see that it is also dark, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea, sit down and wait." You see that you blocked the door, and those who don't know think that we have committed something in Wangxian Tower. Tonight there was no more than a guest......"
"Let the wine fairy come down to receive the order, and the prince will leave immediately!" Wen Chengguo said coldly.
"Good!" Li Jida said with a smile, "Then please go in first." The wine fairy is praying for blessings, so can I wait for it to come back and answer the order? ”
"How long?" Gong Wen Chengguo asked patiently.
"An hour or so!" Li Jida smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the fairy gets off the altar, he will come to receive the order." ”
Duke Wen Chengguo has been standing at the gate of Wangxian Tower for almost half an hour, and it will take another hour, which is indeed a long time. Since the big boss of Wangxian Tower said it, he went in and waited.
"Why are you still in?"
Guang Yu, who had been staring at the following, saw that Wen Chengguo and his party not only did not leave, but went in, and immediately became angry: "This old man An lied to me again!" ”
Su Changyun patted Guangyu on the shoulder: "These are all trivial things, my cousin thinks that Qi Huan's side is the biggest obstacle!" ”
"That's right!" As soon as he thought of Qi Huan's letter, Guangyu became angry, "I'll reply to him!" ”
"How are you going to get back?"
"I'll write to him all the things I've been with Jin Ling since I met! We were still here last night...... Meet. In front of Su Changyun, Guangyu was embarrassed to say that he kissed Jin Ling. But he will definitely write it clearly in the letter! Also write it in detail! Write out the sincerity of his and Jin Ling's kiss! Let that Qi Huan be angry when he sees the letter!
"No, no, no!" Su Changyun hurriedly said, "That old man An said it, he didn't see Qi Huan and the troublemaker with his own eyes!" Qi Huan deliberately deceived you by writing this. If you write truthfully, you'll be in the middle of it! You listen to me, you write so......"
Su Changyun spoke, approached Guangyu's ear, and continued to whisper a few words.
Listening to Su Changyun's words, Guangyu's face turned red: "Is this good?" ”
"If you want to catch up with the troublemaker, write like this!" Su Changyun patted Guangyu on the shoulder, "Listen to my brother." Muyang has actual combat experience. ”
"Good!" Guangyu gritted his teeth, "That's it!" ”
Wen Chengguo and his entourage were invited into the largest banquet hall in the Wangxian Tower.
After seeing that Wen Chengguo and the others were seated, Li Jida ordered the following, to serve tea and snacks.
"The public is not thirsty." Facing the tea that was served, Duke Wen Chengguo said coldly, "Just wait here for the Duke of China." You don't have to serve snacks, no one will eat them. ”
"Good!" Li Jida had a smile on his face, "Lord Guogong, please take care of yourself, Li will not bother." ”
When Li Jida went out, he looked at the incense in the four corners of the hall, and said to the running hall who came in with snacks: "Go back, go back, don't come to disturb Lord Guogong if you have nothing to do." ”
Li Jida closed the door and went straight to the ninth floor to Ge Yan's room.
"The landlord has already invited people in. Enough for them to sleep for a night. I'll find out tomorrow morning. ”
"Get ready!" Ge Yan closed his eyes and said, "Respond to all changes with the same." ”
Early the next morning, Wen Chengguogong, the head of the civil ministers, did not go to the early dynasty and did not take leave.
Sima Yu has been sitting on the dragon throne for a long time, and he still hasn't seen the figure of Duke Wen Chengguo.
"What's going on?" Sima Yu frowned and asked the little eunuch beside him.
At this time, Zhu Zhaolei, the servant of the Criminal Department, hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Your Majesty! Wechen came late, just because Li Jida of Wangxian Tower stopped Wechen from filing a complaint at the gate of the palace, this is a complaint! ”
The squire of the Criminal Department knelt in the middle of the hall and held a complaint aloft.
"Sue whom?" Sima Yu frowned, "It won't be Wencheng Guogong!" ”
"Exactly!" The waiter of the Criminal Department glanced up at Sima Zheng, "They told Wen Chengguo that they had broken into the Wangxian Tower and destroyed the gold plaque given by the emperor......"
"Ha......" Sima Yu suddenly smiled, "Duke Wen Chengguo is also capable, and there is such a big battle when he transmits a decree." ”
"Your Majesty!" The waiter of the criminal department couldn't see the emperor's joy and anger, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Li Jida brought eyewitnesses, they can all prove that it was the gold plaque destroyed by the Duke of Guo himself, and the gold plaque was also carried over......."
"Then how does Zhu Shilang think the case should be decided?"
The waiter of the Criminal Department was stunned: "Wechen came to ask Your Majesty to show ......"
"May I show me?" Sima Yu roared angrily, "I can't punish the doctor!" What's more, it's Guogong! What is the identity of Guogong! He dares to sue the prince even if he is a businessman! How did you get in charge of the Criminal Department? ”
"But......" the waiter of the Criminal Department said wistfully, "the merchants of Yingtian have arrived, and they have witnesses and physical evidence, as well as a gold plaque given by the emperor......
"Take it!" Sima Yu said coldly, "Let's convict of disobedience first!" ”
