Chapter 177: The Hongmen Banquet
When Yan Jiuniang saw Qin Yi, tears fell in an instant.
Peng's voice, Yan Jiuniang went back to the house, threw the door shut, and didn't come out again.
Tiezhu was stunned.
Qin Yi walked a few steps to the door, and he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door: "Sister Yan Ran, Sister Yan Ran, I, it's me, Si Niu, you come out." β
"This son, the slave family doesn't know you."
Inside the door, Yan Jiuniang's soft voice came: "The slave family is not comfortable, so please go back." β
As soon as he heard that Yan Jiuniang was uncomfortable, Tie Zhu was anxious.
He took a few steps: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" If it's uncomfortable, I'll find you a doctor. β
Yan Jiuniang's cry came: "No need, thank you for your kindness, the slave family is an old problem, you can leave." β
Qin Yi looked at the door with a deep gaze.
After a while, he sighed: "Sister Yan Ran, since you don't want to see me now, then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to see you in two days." β
After speaking, Qin Yi pulled the iron pillar and walked out.
From time to time, Tiezhu looked back at the two doors.
But the door was closed tightly, and the iron pillar was very disappointed.
The two of them came out of Wanchun Tower, and Tie Zhu clenched his fists in annoyance: "Why am I so stupid, I should have demolished the door at that time, and I won't come out if I don't believe her." β
Qin Yi was in a bad mood, and he slapped the iron pillar: "Bastard, if you tear down the door, I'm afraid that girl won't follow you anyway." β
Tie Zhu was anxious: "Then what should I do?" She didn't see anyone, she couldn't tear down the door, and I was dying. β
"Let's go back first, and then figure out how to do it."
Qin Yi dragged the iron pillar back in frustration.
After walking for a while, Tie Zhu asked Qin Yi: "Brother-in-law, do you call that girl Sister Yanran?" Do you recognize her? β
"How can you not recognize it?" Qin Yi smiled bitterly: "She is my husband's daughter, she was abducted by a kidnapper when she was a child, and she has never been able to find her back, no one thought that she would come here and go to the flower building." β
"Then, then, can I still marry her?" Tie Zhu scratched his head, a little annoyed.
"It's up to your own heart." Qin Yi took a few steps forward, and suddenly remembered something: "It also depends on whether Sister Yan Ran likes you or not, if she doesn't like you, you are not allowed to use force." β
"I'm not that kind of person." Tie Zhu hurriedly explained: "I like her, I want her to be good, not to mention that she is an acquaintance of my brother-in-law, if I really use it, am I still a person." β
However, when Tie Zhu lowered his head, he was still in a bad mood and said: "But, I really like her, I am very happy to see her like drinking a few catties of honey." β
This big man is quite infatuated.
Qin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When he and Tiezhu went back, Cheng Yanluo came to him and discussed with him about the banquet for those wealthy families.
Qin Yi was busy with these things and official business, and put Cheng Yanran's matter aside first.
On this day, those wealthy families who received the posts sent people to the prefect's yamen for a banquet, first, they wanted to see what kind of person the new prefect was, and second, they also wanted to see what the prefect was thinking.
At night, the backyard of the yamen was brightly lit, and Qin Yi asked his subordinates to light a lot of lanterns to hang, and the moonlight was as bright as day.
People from those wealthy families came one after another.
The people who come are all the heads or heirs of various families, and they are very heavy.
When these people came, Qin Yi came out in a moon-white robe.
He dressed quite casually, and he didn't wear valuables, but this casualness gave him a little more free and easy temperament, and under the moonlight, he was more like a jade.
He smiled and arched his hand: "It's really rare for you to come here in your busy schedule, come, please take a seat." β
They all saluted and found a place to sit down.
Qin Yi clapped his hands, and one after another delicacies were served.
He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Qin someone has just arrived, and he doesn't know much about the customs and customs of this Guangdong, and in the future, I will rely on your more forbearance, and I also hope that everyone will work together with this government to govern Guangdong well." β
Those people laughed and laughed, and also raised their wine glasses to toast with Qin Yi.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, someone stood up, this person was a little drunk and smoky, and he didn't speak politely: "Governor Qin, you didn't do things authentically before, for a few mud legs, you dare to open a warehouse to release grain, you are really bold enough, and I don't know how much grain you ate in the granary?" I'm afraid it's almost bottoming out, after all this food has been eaten, where else can you get food to relieve the disaster victims? β
Qin Yi's face changed slightly, and then he smiled again: "Naturally, it depends on you, you are all wealthy families in Guangdong, and there are countless grains at home, as long as you take out a star, I'm afraid it's enough, this mansion is new to you, please help, let's help each other in the same boat, in the future, this mansion will naturally not forget you, if there are any good things, I will also share it with you, what do you think?" β
"Haha......"
Several people burst out laughing.
Everyone thinks that this new prefect is stupid, why should he ask someone to help him with such empty words and white teeth?
Some people even think that this prefect is naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
"Well said, well said."
Someone laughed and hid haha.
But some people directly accused Qin Yi: "Qin Governor's Mansion, they all say that people die for money, birds die for food, and Qin Governor's Mansion doesn't have a single benefit, how can we take food out?" You say yes, right? Moreover, food is the lifeblood of our families, and if the Qin prefect wants us to hand over the lifeblood, then exchange it for something of the same value. β
With a smile in his eyes, Qin Yi raised his white jade wine glass and looked at the moonlight, hooking his lips and smiling: "Really?" What do you want? β
Inadvertently, the cup in Qin Yi's hand fell to the ground, and a crisp sound came out, although the sound was not very loud, but it shook people's hearts.
Immediately after, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Before the men could react, they saw a group of soldiers running in armor and swords.
There were about three or four hundred people, the number was not too many, but these soldiers were elite soldiers at a glance, all of them were neatly dressed, their faces were solemn and serious, and their steps were very neat, and the weapons they held were all good at a glance, the armor was bright, the swords were pressing, and under the reflection of the moonlight, there was a lot of solemn aura.
Rao is the children of these families are well-informed, but they were all shocked to see so many soldiers coming.
They looked at Qin Yi in disbelief: "Governor Qin, what do you mean by this?" β
Qin Yi chuckled: "You guys probably misunderstood, I don't mean anything?" However, this is what General Cheng meant. β
"General Cheng?"
Everyone was stunned.
At this moment, Cheng Yanluo strode over in a military uniform.
As she approached, a hearty smile appeared on her face: "Everyone, forgive me for being rude, it's too late." β
Seeing her smile, many people breathed a sigh of relief, but some people were even tighter.
Cheng Yanluo stood beside Qin Yi and hugged his fists at these people: "I haven't introduced it yet, I am the new Yuezhou general Cheng Qiniang, I'm here, I'll meet you first, and in addition, there are important things to ask you." β
An old man boldly asked, "I don't know what the general wants?" β
Cheng Yanluo raised his eyebrows: "Naturally, it's food?" If there is no food, my soldiers will not be able to eat, and if they can't train their soldiers if they don't have enough food, where can they protect your safety, everyone says? For the sake of your lives, please be generous and bring out the food. β
It turns out that they are waiting here.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they understood that today's banquet was only afraid that it would be a Hongmen banquet.
Moreover, it was the prefect and the general who colluded to pit their Hongmen banquet.
