Lu Fangxuan thought so, nodded at him, and was about to pick up the wine bowl to say something to everyone, when suddenly there was a sound in the hall, and Qi Shi had already kicked the door open with more than a dozen soldiers and guarded the door.

The guests' alcohol was frightened a lot in an instant, and some people were still quick to see the commotion, and hurriedly lifted the tablecloth and hid under the table.

Lu Fangxuan glanced at Zheng Shiyan, who stomped his feet and shouted, "Don't mess with yourself!" Qi led a little recklessly, we had something important to tell you. With that, Master Zheng hurriedly gave Qi Shi a look.

Qi Zhi was amusing himself by watching this funny scene, and when he saw his eyes, he said: "Yes, guests, I don't mean to use knives and guns below, please take your places." ”

The men sat back hesitantly.

Lu Fangxuan really held the wine bowl steadily, and said calmly: "Princess, this is the last resort of this official. Because today's minions of the Wan family accidentally said a nonsense, this official is afraid that you will say it as a rumor, and the impact will not be good. Therefore, I want to let the princes stay for Chinese New Year's Eve and spend the festival together. Of course, you can enjoy all this wine, meat, and women, and you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

The guests were entertained by Lu Fangxuan, and they ate and drank here all day, and if they made trouble again, they lost their etiquette, and I am afraid it would be inappropriate. They all honestly said yes.

Lu Fangxuan saw that they were half-dead with their eyelids drooping, and they were all in the mood to drink, so he put down the wine in his hand: "It's not too early, you're afraid that you're tired, you should rest, don't break your body, just go." ”

The guests thanked Lord Lu one after another and walked out.

At this time, Lu Fangxuan summoned Qi Zhi and admonished: "Leader Qi, I understand that you want to make meritorious contributions." But don't do it yourself in the future. ”

Qi Shi was a little unhappy, so he just dealt with it hastily and retreated from the hall.

Chinese New Year's Eve is only one day away. Colorful lanterns were hung on the streets, firecrackers and other objects were prepared, and the city was filled with jubilant colors. Ye Yongjia, who was standing in the yamen, looked at the lively and lively long street opposite, but frowned.

After a while, the troops sent by the Yue Province to assist arrived. An officer commanded his subordinates, lined up in front of the yamen, and shouted: "Twenty-five people have been sent by the Lu Gong of Yuefu to pay a visit to the prefect!" ”

"Sit, sit." Wei Chong brought a chair and asked the Yuefu officer to sit down in front of Governor Ye.

"Drink tea." Ye Yongjia saw him take off his armor and handed him a cup of hot tea. The officer drank it all very neatly.

"Governor Ye, by tomorrow night, will my brothers live in the yamen, or will they ......?"

Ye Yongjia waved his hand: "The military master is sent by Lu Gong, if we live in the yamen, it will inevitably seem that we are not thoughtful." You said it was a coincidence, this Qi inspection was sick the day before yesterday, it is better for the military master to take a post of inspection for the time being, it is convenient to do things there, and the inspection department is spacious enough. ”

The officer smiled and clenched his fists: "Thank you Lord Ye for your kindness." Then go down to the inspection department and settle the brothers first, so I won't talk about it! ”

Ye Yongjia returned the salute and immediately instructed Wei Chongdao: "You take the military master with you." ”

Wei Chong smiled reluctantly and came out of the study with the officer.

Wei Shuban hated Ye Yongjia for seizing power, if the Lu Party took office now, not only would he not be able to take credit in this matter, but there would be no place for him in the future.

Thinking of this, Wei Chong had a plan, his eyes blinked three times, and he suddenly said to the officer: "Master Jun, I am thinking about it...... There's something for you. ”

This officer knew that Wei Chong was half of Yue Gong's confidant, so he naturally had some respect for him: "Please speak about the secretary." ”

"Although the previous inspector has been removed, the soldiers there are not your cronies, so there must be concerns when you call them up. It is better to send them back to the yamen and wait for the dispatch of the prefect. ”

The officer pondered for a moment and replied, "This is not a bad plan. So-and-so did what the book said. ”

Wei Chong patted him on the shoulder, grinned the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay! Good! Have a good trip, General! ”

"General, I've seen you many times at the county king's place." Ye Yongjia spoke to the people sent by Wan Dang in the study again.

"In that case, I will speak openly," the officer of the palace scratched his forehead, "where did you transfer the Lu people?" ”

Ye Yongjia smiled bitterly and looked at him directly: "Master Jun, I am here to prepare for the reconciliation of the two families this time at the behest of King Wanjun. Therefore, this official will never give you any benefits and let the Lu Party suffer. ”

This officer was very surprised to see Ye Yongjia so tough. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay." But I still have to ask. ”

"Inspection Division," Ye Yongjia said, "you and your soldiers, twenty-five people, right?" Go along. ”

The officer slammed the table: "My lord! Don't you hear that 'one mountain does not tolerate two tigers', if you still want to make Nanjing peaceful, find us another place! ”

"Master Jun, I will try my best to urge you to communicate, as long as the matter of guarding the outpost is discussed, nothing else will be a problem. Unless you deliberately cause trouble. Ye Yongjia didn't seem to be in a hurry or slow about his coercion.

The officer had nothing to say, so he made a gesture and went to the inspection department with his soldiers and horses.

After all is taken care of, all that remains is to wait. At this time, Ye Yongjia's heart was empty, but his nervous mood came with it. He was still looking at the official documents, and his heart suddenly drank, and he couldn't even hold the pen steadily. He simply dropped his pen and wandered around the compound for a long time.

When he looked up, he didn't realize that it was dark, so he hurried to return home. He went to the study and took out his clothes, but thought again: "It's better to stay in the yamen and sleep, and go straight to the inspection department tomorrow!" ’

Ye Yongjia walked into the back room, took off his official uniform, and lay on the bed casually. He tossed and turned, but his nervousness was uncontrollable, and his mind was full of curfews. In the end, I didn't know how many times I knocked outside, and then I fell asleep in a daze.

Early in the morning, Wei Shuban and other officials entered the yamen one after another, Ye Yongjia was awakened because of this, and hurriedly changed into official clothes, straightened his official hat, and came to greet him.

"What's going on with the Inspection Division?" Ye Yongjia asked Wei Chongdao.

"The villain went on a trip yesterday, and the officers and soldiers have settled down, and they have nothing to do with each other." Wei Shuban's appearance was still very lost.

"That's right, those people don't dare to disobey Wan Lu's orders." Ye Yongjia said, "Chinese New Year's Eve is tonight, I have to go to the Inspection Department now to explain, and the Yamen is guarded by Wei Shuban." ”

He stopped nagging and dragged his limp body on the horse.

The yamen is only one street away from the inspection department, after Ye Yongjia got off the horse, he walked straight under the plaque of the inspection department, and the soldiers on both sides shouted: "Welcome Lord Ye, the prefect of Nanjing!" ”

This shout alarmed the officers of the Wan and Lu parties, and they all came out of the house and knelt down in front of Ye Yongjia.

Ye Yongjia held the hands of the two with a heavy heart, he was still thinking about what was going to happen tonight.
