The three large tables were full of people, and the white clothes ordered the table to open.

Chen Jinqiu personally held the wine jug to pour wine for these old officials, and said with a smile on his face: "You elders are elders, and today is this banquet, Jin Qiu is the junior, don't care about the empty set of officialdom."

The old officials sat steadily, and a few of them turned their heads sideways and did not look at him.

Only one of them first saluted respectfully, and then Shi Shiran propped his knees and said, "Don't dare, Lord Chen is now alone in the capital, and there are many prison cases, and Lord Tingwei has to make up his mind. However, Lord Tingwei Zheng didn't come back, so he had to ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly said in a flirtatious tone, "It's up to Lord Tingwei's right supervisor."

Bai Yi can see it, these people only recognize Chen Qiusheng in their hearts, and they don't take Chen Jinqiu in their eyes at all.

"Hehe, my eldest brother is not here, and Jin Qiu is a young man, so he has to learn more from all of you." Chen Jinqiu walked around the round table, raised his hand to pour the wine room, and said, "Now that we have returned to the capital, the first case to bear the brunt is the case of Yanzhou Mujiang Zimo's fornication with traitors. The prisoner has been escorted to prison and will be arraigned in the near future. Hehe, this case involves a lot of things, if you want to find out and deal with it, Jin Qiu still has to rely on the help of all your lords."

As soon as these words came out, those poor officials all raised their glasses and said yes in a restrained manner, but the old officials did not raise their glasses, and the atmosphere was in a stiff embarrassment, and their hands holding wine glasses froze.

"This case is so big, it has to be in charge of Lord Tingweizheng." The old official who had spoken raised his arm and looked at Chen Jinqiu on the table, "Chen Sanren, the case is tried today, and tomorrow's trial is also a trial, and now you should think about how to save Lord Chen Qiusheng from Yanzhou, what do you say?"

As soon as these words came out, all the old officials stared at him fiercely, and the officials at that table hung their heads in shock, not daring to squeak.

Chen Jinqiu stood in place with the flask in his hand, and after a long silence, he said, "How can you say that your lord is saving? Huh." He poured wine for the old officials around him, and said, "My eldest brother is sympathetic to the disaster in Yanzhou, and wants to build embankments and dams for the benefit of the people. If this is done, it will also be a great merit. As officials, Your Majesty should be faithful to the good of the people."

"This is true, those who are officials should seek the welfare of the people!" An old official with a suppressed voice looked at him sideways, "But, do the three Chen Sanren know what kind of place is Yanzhou?" He looked around to the left and right, and his fingertips tapped on the table in an orderly manner and said, "That's the ancestral land of the Jiang clan!" Millions of people don't let Lord Chen Qiusheng go out of Yanzhou, what is that for?" The finger slammed heavily and made a loud "bang", "That's pressing Lord Chen Qiusheng as a hostage, forcing us to let Jiang Zimo go!"

This sound made the officials of the cold door gasp in unison, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The smell of alcohol in the air seemed to be entangled in the fire, and the melancholy restlessness had already surfaced!

"That's right! It is said that Yanzhou is poor and bad, and there are many people, which is really true!" An old official then said, "Right now, I am pressing Lord Chen Qiusheng, telling me to wait for how to strictly investigate the public office?!" If you want me to say, you should ask Your Majesty to send troops to Yanzhou to suppress this gang of Diao people!" Z.br>

A group of old officials immediately echoed in unison, and between the fierce words, all the old faces appeared with a red color of generosity!

"Adults don't be impatient, how can this be nonsense?" Bai Yi smiled and looked around, "There are 14 counties in Yanzhou, and the population of the land near the sea is as large as one million. If this matter is asked to be played to the Holy One, I am afraid that it will not be allowed. Even if you really send troops to rob people back, it will inevitably cause trouble. Secondly, if there is a dispute, isn't this forcing the people of Yanzhou to rebel?"

"So what to do?!" An old official slapped the table and stood up, "Which of these old bones is not from a humble family? Which one didn't come out of the backwoods one step at a time? Those Diao people just want us to let Jiang Zimo go in a grand manner, and stop the letter case! But if this is the case, can this prison still be called a prison in the future? Is this law of Zheng Guo still the law of my great Zheng Guo!"

He slapped the table again and again as he spoke, his eyes were as wide as brass bells, and his heavy breathing seemed to infect the others, and an old official with a white beard immediately stood up tremblingly.

Chen Jinqiu recognized this person, this is this group of old people

The leader among the officials is named Hu Biaozhen.

"The ancestors of the Chen family have worked hard to establish the law of Zheng Guo that all the people abide by. That's been written in blood for generations!" Hu Biaozhen propped up the table and looked at Chen Jinqiu, "The old man was dug out of the cold door by Lord Chen Yuwan, and he has received the favor of your Chen family. Throughout the ages, the family has been based on the dynasty, and both filial piety and honesty have recommended the children of the family. Your father trusts us, doesn't care about our status, and doesn't care about our background. He is willing to use us to uphold the law of Zheng Guo, and what he wants is a way to know the people and reassure the people."

A group of old officials followed indignantly and echoed it, saying "yes" again and again.

Chen Jinqiu didn't dare to offend, there was anger in his heart, but he still smiled and said softly, "Lord Hu is loyal and impartial in enforcing the law, which is a model for us. Jin Qiu, listen to the training."

"Jin Qiu, Old Man Rong is offended, I watched your three brothers grow up. Although your brother and you are not the same mother as Pinggang, they also share the blood of the Chen family. Think about it, what does the plaque of the Chen Ancestral Hall mean by the words "honest and honest" to admonish future generations?" Hu Biaozhen stood unsteadily, and the people next to him supported him, "Pinggang is dead now, and there are only you and Qiu Sheng left in the Chen family, the old man dares to take offense, compared to Qiu Sheng, the heat is not enough."

This sentence made Chen Jinqiu's eyes gradually widen, and in an instant, these words were like pebbles in his heart into a calm lake, causing turbulent waves.

He was still smiling, but his eyes suddenly revealed the sharpness that had been hidden in his heart!

"I'm not as good as my eldest brother, but he's in Yanzhou at the moment and can't come back." Chen Jinqiu walked leisurely with a wine jug, refilling drinks along the way, "Now that this case is pressing on my head, if Jiang Zimo is released in the intelligence office, it will not be legal. Yu Liban, the people of Yanzhou are bound to rebel, both of which are great difficulties. Hehe, ladies and gentlemen, what should I do if this matter is replaced by my eldest brother?"

Hu Biaozhen said seriously: "Naturally, we are adhering to the law of Zheng Guo and strictly handling the investigation!"

"That Ming is naturally easy to do, Yu Chengyue confessed, Jiang Zimo also confessed, and Luo Chuan, a small official in Daizhou, pretended to be a messenger, Jiang Lin also confessed, there should be human and physical evidence, this case is so clear and clear, how can it not be handled?"

Chen Jinqiu Du stepped in front of Hu Biaozhen, he respectfully poured wine for the wine glass in front of his table, looked down at Hu Biaozhen condescendingly, and lowered his arm suddenly!

"Since you all have to handle it strictly, why does this case have to be handled by my eldest brother Chen Qiusheng, not me Chen Jinqiu!"

Bang!

The flask is heavily rested on the table!

The audience was silent, and all the old officials seemed to look at Chen Jinqiu in great surprise, and then looked at Hu Biaozhen again.

It's on the bar.

Hu Biaozhen's old eyes were faintly shining, and after a long silence, he looked at Chen Jinqiu and said word by word, "Do you ignore your eldest brother's safety?"

Chen Jinqiu was not afraid, and his smile like a spring breeze turned cold in an instant. He looked directly into Hu Biaozhen's eyes and said, "Master Hu, don't forget what is written on the plaque of my Chen ancestral hall."

Hu Biaozhen's eyes became thinner and thinner, gradually turning into a narrow slit. He laughed slowly, initially silently, and then gradually laughed hoarsely.

"This Chongdu all says that the three heroes of the Chen family, Chen Qiusheng is a living Yama, Chen Pinggang is a Bodhisattva of Anger, and you, Chen Jinqiu, are a smiling tiger." Hu Biaozhen's smile was shameless, "Today I really saw what an eight-faced smiling tiger is. That's it, the old man is tired, please Lord Chen, let the old man retire first."

Hu Biaozhen took the crutches handed by others, bowed and slowly walked out of the private room, while the old officials all squinted at Chen Jinqiu coldly, and bowed and left one after another.

Noisy footsteps echoed in the corridors, interspersed with dissatisfied muttering, all of which were "smiling tigers".

In the private room, as before, a young official from a poor family sat at a table, cramped and uneasy, you look at me, I look at you.

"Wasted two tables of food." Chen Jinqiu sneered, and then raised his glass to signal to the young officials, "They go theirs, we drink ours, come." Ladies and gentlemen, eat wine, eat wine."

Chen Jinqiu's changing complexion was seen by the cold doors

, they all smiled and raised their glasses to drink with Chen Jinqiu, and then hurriedly bowed and retired.

The third floor was empty now, only Chen Jinqiu and Bai Yi were left.

"Lord Chen is fiercely majestic today." Bai Yi turned the wine glass around, "Have you ever thought about the future?"

Chen Jinqiu didn't smile, his face was full of hideous coldness, he raised his glass and poured a sip of wine, and then put it down, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if the old thing doesn't look down on me, there will be a time when he begs me in the future."

"That's right, if you eat this table of wine today and lose face." Bai Yi also raised his head and poured a glass, and immediately wiped away the wine stains on his thin lips, "Then in the future, won't this court lieutenant and the right prisoner want to make him a beard who can't really raise his head."

"The prison is Tingwei's territory, and the law of Zheng Guo was created by the Chen family!" Chen Jinqiu poured another cup, and he took a pleasant breath, "I can't see my own territory, what is he to me?" Sick cat?"

He slammed his cup on the ground and burst out laughing!

There was a crisp crack, and the cup was smashed and suddenly split apart, and the bursting fragments were reflected by the flames of the candle on the table, reflecting a dazzling orange light.

At this moment, the laughter was inexplicably thick and sharp between male and female, Chen Jinqiu turned his back to Bai Yi in laughter and said, "Hmph, since everyone says that I am a smiling tiger, then Lao Tzu will show him what a tiger's smile is!"

After saying this, Chen Jinqiu looked back at Bai Yi, and the horizontal light of the fragment shone in the eye socket of his side face, revealing an extremely fierce and cunning meaning.

Bai Yi seemed stunned, but he also saw it clearly.

This is the smiling tiger!
