Chapter 31: The Guests at the Banquet

It was getting late, but Kaifeng Mansion was very lively, and the public court where the case was tried became a singing and dancing field, and eight or nine tables were set up for the banquet. The officials took off their uniforms and were very busy. At the moment, it is Lord Fu Yin who is sitting on pins and needles, tomorrow is the time to close the case, if the case cannot be solved, and the Jade Guanyin cannot be recovered, not only will it be difficult to protect his life, but he may also affect his family. He didn't understand what Chu Yunfei's nerves were, so he held a banquet in the public court and invited a few kabuki. Did he want to see himself off in advance? What kind of world has this become? Lord Fu Yin sighed, it's a pity, Li Yijian, the most capable person in the mansion, is unconscious, if he is there, he will definitely not let Chu Yunfei come.

Homer was so happy that he commanded everyone to go around. Some were sent out by him to invite guests, some prepared wine and food, and some were busy washing and stir-frying vegetables in the kitchen. When he came to the back hall, he saw that Lord Fu Yin was worried, and he ran over in a hurry: "I said my lord, this banquet is half ready, why haven't you changed your clothes." This is a rare happy event for us, and the emperor will also reward it if the case is solved. You must give us face, and you must not put an adult's shelf on the wine table. By the way, Lord Liang's chef has also arrived, and he will show his hands a few times in a while. You're just waiting, please. ”

Lord Fu Yin waved his hand: "Is this appropriate?" At the moment, the prisoner did not catch it, but held a celebration banquet first, in case it was not good if outsiders heard it. You can't take these people when the time comes, right? And ......"

Homer interrupted him: "My lord, Prince Chu can make a package ticket, saying that tomorrow I will definitely let you take the Jade Guanyin to see the emperor." Don't worry about it anymore. King Liang is almost there. I heard that Gongzi Chu specially asked him to bring a few jars of good wine, and there were a few jars of good daughter red in it. ”

Fu Yin glanced at him, he had always trusted Chu Yunfei, because he had helped the government solve many cases. But this time, Chu Yunfei was a little unreliable.

He Ma looked at the prefect with a hippie smile: "I think that Master Chu has never said big things, let alone done unreliable things, so ...... Please believe him this time no matter what. He is the first arrest in the capital, and he has always been sure to solve cases, right? Think about it, if there is a case in the whole capital that Chu Gongzi can't solve, who else dares to take this case? How could he not solve the case of a package ticket? You're right? ”

Fu Yin sighed, Homer was really right. The first two times they were all happy in vain, thinking that they had found clues, but they didn't expect that there would be murders one after another. That's right, even if he doesn't want to drink and have fun anymore, he has to send it now, and the person who came forward to set up the banquet is still King Liang, even if he has a thousand, ten thousand unwilling, it can only be like this.

While the two were talking, they heard someone report that King Liang had arrived. They went out and saw a soft sedan chair stop at the entrance of the yamen, and King Liang, dressed in civilian clothes, came out of the sedan chair. There was also a carriage following behind the sedan chair, and it was Liang Yunsheng, the housekeeper of the palace, who was in charge of escorting it.

After getting off the sedan chair, King Liang sighed slightly. He still remembered the scene when Chu Yunfei entered the Liang Wang's Mansion in the morning, when they were having breakfast, Chu Yunfei walked in with a big grin, and told him with a spring breeze on his face that the person who set up the Qianfang Pavilion had been found, and the Jade Guanyin would automatically appear tonight. In order to celebrate, he hoped that the prince would pay for a banquet at the palace to reward the officials. Before leaving, he repeatedly stated that King Liang must attend. King Liang looked at him in confusion, thinking that he was talking nonsense before he woke up, but the words he left before leaving made him sure that Chu Yunfei was very sober, because he said that he wanted the good daughter of the Ten Altars to be Hong.

It's best not to let me know that he is lying to me, Liang Wangxin said, in case he is playing me as a monkey, Master Sanssouci's altar of monkeys will never smell it again in his life.

"I feel that Prince Chu should not have deceived the prince. I've heard...... Today they brought back a sedan chair on the side of the state bridge, and the people in the sedan chair heard that it was related to the case of the Treasure Pavilion. Liang Yunsheng whispered beside King Liang.

King Liang stepped into the palace and sighed: "I hope so." If he doesn't say anything, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape prison. I know the temper of the imperial brother, once he gets angry, no one can persuade him, let alone ......"

King Liang suddenly stopped when he said this. Because a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, when he turned around, he saw Chu Yunfei swaggering into the mansion, followed by an airtight sedan chair, and the person carrying the sedan chair was obviously Mei Xiang Xiaozhu's person.

Lord Yin and King Liang came to Chu Yunfei's side, looked at the sedan chair, and hurriedly asked, "Who is this?" ”

Chu Yunfei had an unfathomable expression on his face: "Keep it secret for the time being!" It's almost time for the banquet to begin, right? Did I send my daughter Red? ”

Liang Yunsheng said on the side: "It's all been sent, it's all sent, all of them are the best daughters." Young Master Chu is really knowledgeable, those wine princes are reluctant to drink on weekdays, and I can't imagine that you are ten jars in one mouth......"

King Liang gasped as if he had a toothache, he had always regarded pearls as dung, but he loved wine as life. It's just that Chu Yunfei, like him, is also an alcoholic. Liang Yunsheng's words evoked his sad memories again, quite a ...... It can only be said that I accidentally met such a person when making friends!

Chu Yunfei commanded the sedan chair drivers to carry the sedan chair to the back hall. Then two officials were sent to guard the door, and no one could approach the palanquin. King Liang looked at him curiously, what tricks is this guy playing, since there are people in the sedan chair, why don't you invite them out? Who was in the sedan chair, not only in the sedan chair into the palace, but also carried to the back hall? Are you going to use a beauty trick to bribe Lord Yin so that you can get out of this case?

Chu Yunfei smiled mysteriously, and only said that he would know when the time came.

He Ma had always been by Chu Yunfei's side, and with his limited wisdom, he felt that Chu Yunfei couldn't just arrange a banquet, but no matter how he asked, Chu Yunfei only answered him with one sentence: You will naturally know when the time comes.

"This celebration feast is so lively! It's a pity that Li Zhutou didn't see such a scene, if only he were there. A servant sighed from the side.

Chu Yunfei turned around and found that it was the person who followed them to Qianfang Pavilion during the day, he remembered that he had asked them to see Li Zhutou, thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "How is Li Zhutou now?" Still unconscious? ”

The official nodded: "Yes." Aunt Li has been guarding him. Lang Zhong went to check it and said that it might be a head injury, and there was some bruising inside, and he could wake up when the blood melted. ”

"yes. He'll wake up soon. Chu Yunfei said softly, seeing that He Ma was looking at him without blinking, he hurriedly explained: "I mean, if he knows that Jade Guanyin has been found, he will be happy to wake up." ”
