Volume 2 Water Bo Chapter 37 The Dinner Party

Bonfires are roaring.

The prey of all kinds is enjoying the heat after washing and peeling, and the grease drips on the flames, making a sizzling sound. Bonfire dinners are rare in Dongmu, where all kinds of autumn insects swirl and dance around this strange flame, sending out doomsday wails.

Fang San sat on the main seat, raised his glass from afar, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Although this Dongmu does not have good wine, there are many roe deer in the mountains and forests, so it is a good place to go." Brother Zheng is not so weak, I have a lot of alien talents here, after a while, let them teach you a few tricks, to ensure that you will soon be able to fly eagles and horses, and live a chic life. ”

When I went out of the Sai Sai to Lulong, there were weeds low, cattle and sheep everywhere, and the sky was high and the ground was wide, which was really eye-opening. ”

"If Brother Zheng has the opportunity, he should travel all over the world like me. In this way, we will have the opportunity to enter and exit the phase and achieve the achievements of our fathers. ”

Du Lengqiu secretly said in his heart: It seems that this Fang Furu didn't take Zheng Fu in his eyes at all. When it comes to friendship among peers, they generally call each other by their names, for example, the correct name for Zheng Qiu is: Zi'an. It is very rude to call them by their first names, and it is common for elders to address younger generations.

However, this is not the time to care, and Du Lengqiu is very generous, never thinking more about the dead. Du Lengqiu smiled slightly, took a sip of wine gently, and looked at the man sitting under him.

There are about twenty of these people, and most of them have ordinary strength and can be seen through at a glance. Only the strength of the two people, one old and one young, far surpasses Tongji, and the two of them look forward to their own pride, without the slightest intention of hiding.

Two innate masters protected. Hehe, in the end, it is the son-in-law of the prime minister's family, which is different. Looking at these two people with peacocks opening the screen, they are obviously not masters of platoon. Where is this guy who even worries about the city god of Yifu hiding?

Seeing that Du Lengqiu was a little cold, Fang San was unhappy in his heart, and his face immediately turned cold. In Fang San's view, the world revolves around me, and if someone disobeys himself, he disobeys the world, and he deserves to be killed.

Fang San was surrounded by a lot of villains who tended to be inflammatory, and they were the best at checking their eyebrows and looking at their colors, and when they saw Fang San's expression, they knew that Du Lengqiu had deeply offended him.

These people's eyes flashed, and they were about to show themselves in front of their masters. Suddenly, a blue-shirted servant came to report with a post, saying that Han Ji, the governor of the grain road in Fucheng, had invited Fang San to the banquet.

The governor of the grain road is a civil official from the fourth grade, and in the Tang Dynasty, he can be called an important minister of the imperial court. You must know that the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the Ming and Qing dynasties of later generations, and one product and two products are flying all over the sky.

In the Tang Dynasty, the rank of officials is very valuable, even when he is the prime minister of the dynasty, the rank is only the third grade. Therefore, Han Ji is already an important minister.

And the Jiedu envoy is just a small subordinate officer, and the governor of the grain road issued an official post to invite a Jiedu envoy to engage, which can be called a corporal of Lixian. Fang San felt that Bei'er had face, so he didn't care so much about Du Lengqiu's rude behavior.

He took the post and glanced at it, laughed and said, "Uncle Han Shi is really polite, it's not good if you don't go to this banquet." Brother Zheng, I'm really sorry!"

After saying it without sincerity, without waiting for Du Lengqiu to answer, Fang San prepared to leave by himself. This move obviously didn't take Du Lengqiu seriously, and even deliberately humiliated, and the guests of the Fang family snickered.

And Du Lengqiu's face was covered when he stood up, making it impossible to see what the expression on his face was. However, when Fang San left, Du Lengqiu suddenly spoke, "Brother Shi, my family has a holiday with the Governor of the Grain Road now, after you meet, please ease up, so that my Zheng family can breathe a sigh of relief, and there will be a good reward in the future." ”

Fang San's big bag is all over, and his tone is scary, "What big deal can this little Dongmu have, the trouble of your Zheng Mansion is just a matter of my mouth." ”

"Thank you so much!"

For Fang San's promise, Du Lengqiu didn't hold out any hope, and he didn't need Fang San's help. The reason why he opened his mouth to Fang San was just because a normal son of the Zheng family should have done this, and he didn't want to show anything abnormal.

Fang San hurried away, and the two innate masters immediately separated one person and followed. Du Lengqiu glanced at the doormen present and smiled happily, these cannon fodder traveled thousands of miles to support the difficulties of Dongmu Zheng Mansion, which was really ancient and warm, and it was heartwarming.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the wine and meat of Dongmu Mansion are average, the enthusiasm of the owner is enough to make up for this shortcoming. In this situation, how can it be extremely martial. Li Meng, you go down and show your hand to everyone, remember not to lose our face as the master. Du Lengqiu waved his hand. Li Meng, who had been standing behind him as a background board, flashed out.

He jumped into the arena with a puff, the tall man was as powerful as an iron tower, he clenched his fists and shouted: "Li Meng, disciple of the Iron Arm Gate, please advise the masters!"

He made no secret of his strong cultivation, and the spiritual coercion unique to innate masters swept in all directions. Seeing those warriors trembling like quails in the days after tomorrow, Li Meng couldn't help but feel very proud.

Before, he worked hard to suppress his cultivation, not just for the scenery at the moment, but there was still one of the Fang family's doormen who could fight and didn't leave. He set his eyes on the thin old man.

"Hey, old man, you can still fight in the scrap wood present, let's play next!" Li Meng remembered Du Lengqiu's instructions, and when he spoke, he was as arrogant as he wanted.

At this time, Du Lengqiu stood up and left straight away. His indifferent attitude showed that he didn't care about the outcome of the battle here.

In Du Lengqiu's view, these doormen are just a group of weak chickens, and some of them have the means to manipulate them, but now, he has more important things to do.

After leaving the banquet, Du Lengqiu went directly to find his grandmother. There is no way, his cheap father is still unconscious, and Zheng Qiu himself is a straw bale, and he doesn't know anything about the Zheng family's property and force, so he can only ask Du Lengqiu to ask for clarification.

The Yamen of the Governor of the Grain Road.

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, officials living abroad are not allowed to bring their family members with them, and can only take office alone. In order to facilitate their diligent work, the accommodation of officials has always been connected to the office location, which is the so-called backyard of the government.

Since he was an official and would only be transferred out in three to five years, no official would allocate funds to build a yamen, which was a thankless task. Over time, the yamen of the government fell into disrepair and became dilapidated.

The Governor's Yamen was no exception, the decoration on the walls had peeled off, and the faint moss in the corners of the walls was a rich black in the dim light of the lanterns, just like this chaotic world.

said that it was a banquet, but Han Ji didn't really put on a feast, but put a few common dishes in Dongmu in the small hall and waited quietly.

The surname of the governor of the grain road is Han, but he was not born in the Changli Han family, and no one in the court cares about him.

And he himself is in his fifties, and he doesn't have many years to live. In the remaining years, he had two choices, one was to be a good official and fight for fame, and the other was to make money and enjoy it.

Obviously, Han Yu chose the second one.

Originally, he had already found a target to start with, paved the road, and was just waiting to close the net, but now, there was a little variable. But this gluttonous feast is no longer his alone, the entire Dongmu Mansion is waiting for him to make a move, like a group of scavenging vultures waiting for their prey to fall.

As soon as he flinched, his prestige for several years as an official immediately fell into the dirt. Therefore, he must not retreat.

Soon, he heard the sound of "click" footsteps coming from the darkness. Immediately, a voice came from the faint light, the voice was clear, but there was a faint hint of arrogance.

"Uncle Shi, the little nephew is bothered. Fang Furu walked up to him, smiling all over his face. Although the smile is fake, it is already the greatest courtesy of Fang San.

Han Ji saw that Fang San was just giving a salute, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and gave Fang San a label that he didn't know how to be polite. Although this Fang Furu is said to be engaged in by the Huainan Jiedu envoy, this official position is not in the imperial court system at all, it is just a local subordinate official, and it is not wrong to say that Fang San is a white body.

But when he saw his own four-grade high-ranking officials, he was not polite, and he was really arrogant and stubborn.

Although he was angry in his heart, Han Ji had a smile on his face, and he went up to help Fang San up, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and Furu has been an adult. Is Ling Zun okay?"

"My father lives in Chang'an and rules the world, which is naturally good. ”

Fang San's words almost choked Han Yu to death, he paused for a moment, and then said: "I am the same year as Ling Zun, so it's not rude to call you a nephew, right?"

"Naturally, it doesn't count. Fang San's eyes flashed, and he smiled, not knowing what he was thinking.

Han Ji said, "The nephew is a little presumptuous to come to Dongmu. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and this Dongmu strange thing has happened repeatedly, which is not a good place. For the sake of the nephew, it is the best policy to leave quickly!"

Fang Sanshu laughed, "Uncle Shi, I'm still hungry!"

"Look at me, I'm too impatient. Han Yu hurriedly invited Fang Furu to take a seat. The two sat across from each other and ate separately. As soon as he sat down, Fang Furu suddenly spoke, "Uncle Shi, I came to Dongmu Zheng's house because I didn't have a silver tael, so I came to blackmail the Zheng family." ”

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, and raised his evaluation of Fang San in his heart. This preemptive strike really caught him off guard. Of course, talking about blackmail in person, this shameless demeanor is really a master.

"Oh!"

"Hey, it's a tough day. I just raised a hundred and ten concubines and dozens of doormen, and the expenses were surprisingly large. The 100,000 taels of silver I got last time have only been spent for a year and a half. I had no choice but to fight the Zheng family's idea. It happened that he was frightened and was seriously ill and difficult to treat, so he pushed the Zheng family to sue them for a crime of poor care, and asked them for 100,000 taels of silver, which is not much. What does Uncle Shi think?"

Han Yu was completely stunned, deeply shocked by Fang Furu's shamelessness. thinks that in order to clean up the Zheng family, he has to rely on the right time and place, if it weren't for Qinshui's sudden demonization, he wouldn't even be able to find a chance. It's like Fang Furu, simply and neatly, interpreting the word shameless to the extreme, and it is really the prime minister's tutor.

"Nephew, this is really a bit difficult to do. Because of the poor transportation of grain, the head of the Zheng family was beaten by me, and he will soon raid the house. These hundred-year-old family properties are all owned by the imperial court. I don't think my nephew's calculations are a little out of place. ”

Han Ji was sitting precariously, his eyes blazing, this was a critical moment of bargaining.

"This broken county order, the Fu Yin who destroyed the door is really not wrong. The little nephew still has to learn more from you, but the little nephew has traveled thousands of miles, and you won't let me go back empty-handed, right?"

The two looked at each other, stood firmly, and did not give in to each other. For a long time, the two looked at each other and smiled, quite a bit of a hero cherishing a hero.

"Haha, the nephew is a hero!"

"Hehe, Uncle Shi should be strong and strong!"

Han Ji sighed enviously, "A few years ago, I heard a rumor that there was a Mai god who was a nephew and a nephew, and that he would be the prime minister before he was thirty years old, I thought someone was killing him." Now it seems that the nephew really has the demeanor of Lingzun. If my stupid son has half the power of yours, I don't have to break my heart for him. ”

"Hey, don't hide it from Uncle Shi, that Mai god is invited by me for a thousand taels of silver to catch the knife. Fang Furu smiled proudly, looking forward to his pride.

Han Ji was deeply shocked again. Such a guy who has no shame is really a good material for being an official. I, Datang, need such talents.
