Chapter 401: Lord Wei Drinks Too Much
"It's not because of anything, it's just that I think this official hasn't sat down with a few adults since he arrived in Jiangnan, and it just so happens that this time Miss Shen is also beside him, and the official is to thank you, and the other is to celebrate Miss Shen's freedom."
Wei Mingjie put his eyes on Shen Bing next to him as he spoke, and Shen Bing nodded slightly after touching Wei Mingjie's eyes, and showed his smile to several other officials.
"I was able to get out of the Qinglou in Xia, thanks to the help of several adults and Lord Wei, so I will do it first as a respect." After no one finished saying this, he raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all, and after seeing his actions, the rest of the people also raised their glasses and drank freely.
Several people chatted during the banquet, and occasionally talked about things in the court, but soon the topic was diverted.
"Come, come, today we will not be drunk and will not return." Wei Mingjie saw that these people were not yet drunk, so he stood up and took the initiative to persuade them to drink.
Wei ...... Lord Wei, you're not right, how can you, as an official here, take the lead in drinking? One of them was already drunk, and stammered to Wei Mingjie.
"What about drinking? We're just relaxing, nothing is too much trouble. Seeing Wei Mingjie say this, several other people also echoed and drank even more enthusiastically.
After a few rounds of drinking, except for Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing, the others were already unconscious.
"You...... You see, Master Wei drank too much, and his whole body was shaking! Some people opened their eyes and looked at Wei Mingjie and said.
"Lord Wei usually drinks less as a ......"
"Yes, that's right, this drinking is divided into two situations, one is that the beauty is in her arms, and the other is to use wine to drown your sorrows, I don't know what Lord Wei is for?"
After a few people finished speaking, they suddenly burst out laughing, Wei Mingjie wanted to scold them loudly, but when he thought of his plan for today, he couldn't help it again, so he could only turn around and give Shen Bing an apologetic look, and twisted his head back.
"The official's words are naturally to use wine to drown his sorrows."
"It's impossible to use wine to drown your sorrows, in my eyes, Lord Wei has nothing to worry about at all."
"How could I not, there's been a tricky thing lately."
"What tricky things, say it, we may be able to give Master Wei some advice."
"You also know about this matter, it is the case that was transferred here from the capital, and there is no clue until now."
Wei Mingjie was a little nervous when he said this, he was worried that these people would still be wary of this matter, but after these people spoke, he was completely relieved.
"That case is quite simple, Master Wei doesn't need to worry about it." After listening to him, one of the officials patted his chest and said loudly to him.
"Where is it so simple, I can't even find anyone now?" Wei Mingjie deliberately said it again in a very worried tone.
This person hiccuped when he saw Wei Mingjie's expression, hesitated for a moment and came to his side.
"It's not a secret, in fact, we know where that son is hiding now."
After hearing him say this, Wei Mingjie and Shen Bing next to him both looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect to put his words out so easily.
"Why do you know? Where the hell is he? Wei Mingjie hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"He's ......," the official was defenseless and confessed where the boy was.
Wei Mingjie gave Shen Bing next to him a look and motioned for her to hurry up and write it down. Shen Bing nodded, indicating that he had this place firmly in his heart.
"Do you know what he did in this matter?"
After hearing Wei Mingjie's question, the official shook his head and said inarticulately: "Of course I don't know, who will care so much, just provide him with a place to stay." When the time comes, the promotion I'm waiting for will depend on that adult! ”
After the official finished speaking, he lay on the table and fell asleep directly, and several other people also fell asleep because they had drunk too much.
"Come on, carry them down, try not to wake them up." Wei Mingjie asked his servants to carry them all down and put them in the guest room.
"I didn't expect that this banquet would gain a lot, and I learned such news." Shen Bing shook his head beside him and sighed.
If it weren't for the fact that they drank too much, it was likely that Wei Mingjie wouldn't have been able to find out this news for a long time.
"That's true, but now that we know the address, what can we do? You can't just go up and ask for someone, right? At this time, Wei Mingjie was even more worried.
If he goes now, the son will definitely not admit that he doesn't even have some evidence now, and when the time comes, not only will he not be caught, but he will probably be bitten back, so that the case will end without a problem, and the person who died unjustly will not be blind under Jiuquan.
"This is a headless case, you might as well go find the parents of the dead family first, and ask the details later."
Shen Bing frowned, and said to Wei Mingjie, there will be no results if they keep checking like this.
After listening to Shen Bing's words, Wei Mingjie also felt that what she said was very reasonable.
"But those people are all in the capital, if I rush to the capital, I will definitely alarm the official's eyeliner."
"Then you will send someone to invite them to the Jiangnan area, and say that they are the people's friends before their death, and invite them to come to Jiangnan to relax, and then they will live directly in your mansion, so that they can be protected."
Shen Bing's words suddenly made Wei Mingjie sober up, right, why didn't he think of it before? He doesn't go to the capital, but he can let them come to Jiangnan.
Wei Mingjie quickly wrote a few letters, called people over, and asked them to go to the capital to invite people, while he and Shen Bing were going to secretly go to the place where the officials said to observe the next day.
At this time, in the guest room, several officials who were drunk slowly sobered up.
"How did we end up here? Where the hell is this? When they first woke up, they were a little flustered and asked each other.
"How do I know where, I'm asleep too!" The rest of the people couldn't answer his question at all.
"How many adults are awake?" When the servants outside heard the commotion, they pushed the door open and placed the decanting soup on the table.
"At the banquet just now, a few adults got drunk after being too happy, and even our Lord Wei was a little drunk, so I asked the little ones to bring a few here to rest temporarily."
After listening to the servant's words, these officials were relieved, they were originally worried that they would make a mess when they were drunk, but when they heard that Wei Mingjie was also drunk, they were much more relaxed.
"Let's drink some decanting soup, a few adults!" The servant pushed the decanting soup on the table forward, picked it up one by one and put it in the hands of the officials.
Several people glanced at each other and drank the decanting soup, and then they felt that yesterday's headache had been relieved to a great extent.
"I don't know where Lord Wei is now?"
"My adults are still resting." The servant replied.
"Since we're resting, then we won't bother, we still have something to do and leave first." These officials were worried that they would leak their mouths in Wei Mingjie's mansion, and they were in a hurry to leave here.
"But the adults in my family haven't woken up yet, so it's better for the little ones to wake up the adults and ...... them."
"No need, no need, no need to call, let Lord Wei have a good rest!" Several officials immediately refused when they heard that the servant was going to wake Wei Mingjie up, and then left the place quickly.
After seeing them leave, the servant packed up the things on the table and put them back, and then came to Wei Mingjie's house.
"Are they all gone?" Wei Mingjie sat in the room and asked the servant.
There was not a hint of tiredness on his face, and he didn't look like he had just woken up.
"Back to the adult's words, according to the adult's explanation, the little one told them all, and they left after hearing it, and specially told the little one not to wake you up."
The servant described what had just happened to Wei Mingjie in detail, and he didn't even let go of the expressions on the faces of the officials.
"Very well, as long as they can't remember what happened the day before, the rest is the official's business."
"You go and prepare some old clothes for ordinary people, both men and women should have them, the more shabby the better." Wei Mingjie suddenly commanded the servant.
"Prepare old clothes?" The servant was frightened by Wei Mingjie's sudden order, what did the adults of his family do with the old clothes?
After seeing the servant stunned, Wei Mingjie repeated what he had just said: "What are you doing here?" Why don't you get ready? Remember, the fewer people who know when you prepare, the better, otherwise you will delay the big things of the official. ”
"Yes, sir." The servant immediately straightened up.
Early the next morning, Shen Bing came to the main hall to wait for Wei Mingjie, they had already said before, they would go to the place where the son was today to explore the truth.
After Wei Mingzhuo came, he looked at the clothes on Shen Bing's body and frowned.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with my clothes? Shen Bing also looked down at her clothes after seeing Wei Mingjie's expression, her clothes are very normal, there is nothing wrong with them, and they are already the most inconspicuous set.
Now all the clothes she has there are bought for him by Wei Mingjie, and she doesn't even have a single old dress.
"It's not right, it's quite inappropriate." Wei Mingjie looked at Shen Bing and said, if Shen Bing goes out like this, he will definitely become the focus of everyone's eyes, not to mention investigating the case at that time, it is likely that it will be a trouble to come back.
"We can't just go out like this, we should dress up." Wei Mingjie stood up and said.
