Entering the mansion to open the banquet, Chen Mohuai also specially invited some singing and dancing girls from the art workshop to help the fun, and the whole banquet was not lively.

Shao Xi seemed to be quite interested, frequently toasted with the officials, and from time to time he would pull Chen Mohuai over to fight for wine, and after drinking, he seemed a little drunk, and even came to the center of the flower hall to dance with these singing and dancing girls.

Chen Mohuai whispered to Master Liu and Cai Cheng beside him: "Look at it, after all, he is a person, or a young man, and the wine and beauty are not the same as the true nature? On weekdays, they seem to be serious, but in fact, the officials in Kyoto are no different from us, they love money and women the same. ”

Cai Cheng hurriedly flattered: "That's that, it's just a hairy boy, compared with the county keeper who has been an official for many years and is familiar with officialdom, he is still much more tender, if it weren't for the 'Jing Cheng Division' brand in his hand, he would be nothing in front of the county guard." ”

"Accompany him to-day, make him happy, make him happy, and let them go early tomorrow morning, so that they may not cause us any more trouble here, and although the account book has been stolen by the female thief, if they can be taken away, far away from us will be spared a lot of trouble."

Master Liu, who was next to him, interjected: "My lord should also dispose of that Liang Daoqian as soon as possible, after all, he knows too many things, and if he can't tell anyone about it one day, it will add a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

Chen Mohuai nodded and said, "I know in my heart, I have my own arrangements for this matter." ”

Several people were plotting in a low voice, but Shao Xi came over with a wine jug and said to a few people with a big tongue: "Why don't you drink a few adults?" It's not interesting to just talk, come, let's have a drink together, and after drinking this cup, we will play some games, and if we lose, we will drink, and we will drink a lot of wine. ”

Several people saw that Shao Xi's tongue was hard, and they were secretly amused in their hearts, but they still looked respectful on the surface.

"Lord Shao is in such a good mood tonight, how can we let Lord Shao be disappointed? We can drink whatever you say, and we will play tonight as much as you feel happy. ”

Shao Xi looked at the three of them with straight eyes, and said vaguely, "We play a pot throwing game, and those who lose will be punished for drinking, and don't be punished for a cup of glass, let's be punished for a pot of pots." ”

Lao Wu, who was pushing glasses and changing glasses with all the officials on the side, heard the words at this time, and hurriedly ran over with a few wine jugs, which were filled with the wine that Shao Xi forced out of his body tonight.

Lao Wu also blushed and said loudly: "Yes, yes, I still have several pots of wine here that I haven't finished drinking!" If any of you loses, you will drink all the wine in my hand with a pot, and you are not allowed to cheat, and those who cheat will be punished with an extra pot. ”

When Chen Mohuai and a few people heard it, they were obviously drunk! A sober-minded person at the wine table will not drink so openly, only the person who drinks will drink more and more. Seeing Shao Xi drinking like this now, let alone playing a pot throwing game, probably he is shaking when he looks at people at this time, are you still afraid that he will not succeed?

How did they know that Shao Xi was more sober than everyone present at this moment.

Chen Mohuai ordered the people in the house to bring up the pot and arrow of the pot throwing scene, and he and Shao Xi first voted for the first game.

After three invitations and three concessions, Shao Xi accompanied the music of the musician, squinted and threw the first arrow, and the result was accurate into the pot. ”

It was Chen Mohuai's turn, and he also voted for a "Youchu", and it can be seen that this old guy plays this game in the house on weekdays.

After a round of arrows, Chen Mohuai only hit the first two arrows and got a "Lianzhong", while Shao Xi hit all four arrows and got a "full pot", so far the winner was divided.

Lao Wu handed a pot of wine in his hand to Chen Mohuai, and said with a smile: "Lord Chen, I am willing to lose the bet, you have to do this pot of wine." ”

Chen Mohuai was not ambiguous, took the wine jug and raised his head to dry the jug of wine, and then smacked his lips and tasted back: "Today's wine tastes unique, and it is indeed different from the past!" ”

Shao Xi and Lao Wu both laughed secretly in their hearts, the taste must be different! How can something that is drunk and discharged taste the same as ordinary sake?

Next, Shao Xi, Cai Cheng, Liu Zhushu and others continued to play the game of pitching pots, drinking the wine in their own pots every time they lost, and letting them drink the wine in Lao Wu's hands every time they won. If these people knew what they were drinking, they would probably have to greet all their relatives.

Shao Xi saw that the time was almost up, so he pretended to be disgusted, beckoned Lao Wu to take him to the toilet, and did not forget to ask Chen Mohuai and others to wait for him to come back and continue to drink before leaving.

At this time, Chen Mohuai and the others were also drunk for seven or eight points, and when they saw Lao Wu helping Shao Xi out of the flower hall and going to the backyard, several people were still secretly ridiculing that this Lord Shao was not very drunk.

Shao Xi and the two came to the backyard toilet, Shao Xi glanced at Lao Wu, Lao Wu nodded, opened the door and entered the compartment. Shao Xi turned his head and ran towards the back garden, tonight's move was intended to be fast, to find the account book accurately and quickly, without any delay.

Coming to the back of the rockery in the back garden, Shao Xi saw the stone he noticed the day before at a glance, and reached out to move it, but the stone shook slightly and did not move.

At this time, although it was late, it was the bright moon in the sky, Shao Xi took a closer look at the ground next to the stone by the moonlight, and reached out to touch it, and found that the stone slab on the ground had dents formed by long-term friction. Shao Xi knew this, turned around and pushed the stone in the direction of the dent, and sure enough, the stone turned, revealing the entrance to the cellar with a black hole in the original position of the stone.

Shao Xi blew the fire and shone it inside, only to see that there was a wooden ladder leading directly to the cellar at the mouth of the cellar, so he went down the ladder to the cellar.

Although the light of the fire fold was very weak, Shao Xi was also surprised when he saw the situation in the cellar.

I saw that the entrance of the cellar and the walls and ground in the cellar were treated with moisture and waterproof, and there were silver boxes and cash boxes stacked in the cellar, and some boxes were placed with some rare treasures, antiques and jade, all of which were priceless things, and the whole cellar was simply an underground vault.

Shao Xi didn't have the intention of looking at these things, but he was looking for the box that might store the account book as quickly as possible. Finally, a wooden box was found in an iron box, and the lid of the wooden box was pulled open, and a notebook was placed in it, and the word "account book" was placed on the skin.

After opening the account book and taking a cursory glance, I saw that it contained the names of officials at all levels in the county and the time and amount of money allocated.

Before he had time to think about it, Shao Xi stuffed the account book into his arms, turned around, and returned to the cellar along the wooden ladder, pushing the stone back to its original position, and Shao Xi hurried towards the direction of the latrine.

Just as he came to the vicinity of the latrine and wanted to enter the compartment, Shao Xi suddenly heard someone talking, so he dodged and hid behind a low tree by the wall.

The person who spoke was Cai Cheng, the governor of the county, and he only heard him say to the compartment where Lao Wu was: "Lord Wu, how is Lord Shao?" I haven't seen you go back for so long, so Lord Chen specially asked me to come out to see how Lord Shao is. ”

I heard Lao Wu pretending to make a sound of "wow" vomiting in the compartment, and then I heard Lao Wu say to Cai Cheng outside: "Don't worry! Rest assured! He's fine, just spit it out, tell Master Chen not to leave, we have to go back and continue drinking, or get drunk today. ”

"Okay, okay, you and Lord Shao are fine, I'll go back and tell Lord Chen, and prepare some more good wine."

"It has to be good wine! It's not a good wine, but it's not enjoyable for us to drink. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Wu, I will definitely satisfy you and Lord Shao."

After speaking, Cai Cheng turned around and left, and went back to the flower hall in the back hall.

Seeing that Cai Cheng had left, Shao Xi flashed out from behind the dwarf tree, came to the compartment and knocked on the door, "Old Wu, the matter has been done, let's hurry up and go back!" ”

Lao Wu pushed the door out of the compartment, pulled Shao Xi and asked, "Got it?" But what are you looking for? Are you sure? Let's not be busy in vain, are you reliable kid? ”

"Don't worry! I can't go wrong with checking it out, let's go! Let's go back. ”

"How? Isn't it clever to pretend you're drunk and vomiting? ”

"Yes, yes, very smart, I can't spit out such a disgusting voice from you."

"You don't know what to do, how can you fool them if you don't learn to be disgusting?"

"Ah, yes, yes, you're right."

The matter was done, and the two returned to the hall again, pulling everyone to play the game of pitching pots again.

At this time, the vast majority of the officials were drunk, and they had lost the majesty they pretended to be on weekdays, chasing and frolicking with the singers and dancers, and the image of no official was actually wanton and indulgent like those rich families who lingered in the Goulan Tile House all day long, uninhibited, and full of ugliness.

Shao Xi squinted his eyes at the absurd chaos in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Ye Ziyuan was indignant in his heart and wanted to seek justice for the people of Qingshan County.

In order to loot the people's fat and ointment, this group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials did not hesitate to collude with bandits to kill civilians and merchants in their own jurisdiction. Thinking of the belongings they had looted in the cellar, and then looking at their rotten life in front of him, Shao Xi deeply felt the injustice and pain in Ye Ziyuan's heart.

In other words, if he were a person from Qingshan County, he might do the same thing like Ye Zikite. Although people are selfish, but some people do some things at certain moments but do not see that it is for themselves, in the hearts of many people, they may think that the word "chivalrous" is very ridiculous, can only say that they do not have something in their hearts, you can't let them understand, and you don't need them to understand.

The banquet will eventually disperse, and this farce will eventually come to an end.

When he walked out of the county capital, Shao Xi let out a deep breath, he didn't belong here, and he didn't want to belong here.

On the way to the prison, Shao Xi said to himself: "Finally, there is only one last step left, and I am finally leaving here, Purple Kite!" When I come to pick you up, your affliction will end tonight. ”
