Three rounds of drinking.

Xiao Fan only cared about eating and drinking, and didn't open his mouth at all, asking Lin Xi what he wanted to do.

Since it is only written on the invitation that there is drinking, then drink.

As long as you don't say it, Lao Tzu will leave when he is full.

"Uh, Xiao Gongzi can eat and drink?" When Lin Xi saw this, he tasted as if he hadn't eaten enough, and finally couldn't help it.

"Enough, I can't finish this, Lord Lin has broken the bank!"

Xiao Fan thanked him and continued to eat, without the slightest hint of scheming.

After another moment, seeing that Xiao Fan was starting to burp and not taking the initiative to provoke the topic, Lin Xi knew that this young man was not a person who was too sophisticated.

Lin Xi said: "I heard that Young Master Xiao has a friendship with His Royal Highness King Qi?" ”

"Hiccup!"

After another full burp, Xiao Fan nodded: "Yes, it's a little bit of a friendship, hehe." ”

Holding a chicken leg, he handed it to Lin Xi: "Lord Lin, do you eat?" ”

"No, you don't have to, the old man doesn't eat when he's old, and he can't be blessed, so Xiao Gongzi just needs to eat enough."

"Don't worry, Lord Lin, I'm almost full!"

Saying that, Xiao Fan was suddenly stunned and said, "Oh, I'm used to being single, and I forgot that my wife at home is still hungry...... Lord Lin, if you don't mind, can I pack one for the lady in a while? ”

"Hit, pack?"

"Oh yes, and my little brother Zhang Zongbao didn't eat either, I have to pack two servings."

Lin Xi was stunned, and then laughed: "Xiao Gongzi, please." ”

"Thank you, hehe!" Xiao Fan said happily, "Take this back and give them a taste, I've never eaten such a good thing!" ”

Lin Xi suddenly thought that before the banquet, Xiao Fan asked, how could two people finish eating so many dishes.

I thought I'd been packing it for a long time!

Shaking his head, Lin Xi looked at Xiao Fan's eyes, but he softened.

has been an official for many years, the sea has been ups and downs, and Lin Xi has been an official in the suburbs of Beijing for many years, so he naturally has some ability to know people and things.

Even if this Xiao Fan is pretending, Lin Xi also thinks that this person is good, and when he enjoys food, he can think of his wife and brothers at home, which is already a very good character.

Nowadays, in this world, everyone thinks that they are full, so they don't care if others are hungry or not.

"This, this one to bring back ...... too"

"Oh, this is delicious, bring it back to the lady to taste!"

"Let's talk about it, we'll share the weal and woe with the rich!"

Listening and watching, Lin Xi smiled and shouted, "Someone!" ”

Someone answered at the door.

"Go get a food box." Lin Xi said with a smile.

A moment later, a three-layer food box was handed to Xiao Fan's table.

Xiao Fan took a pair of clean chopsticks and packed them all up that hadn't been touched much.

Lin Xi laughed and secretly admired that a man can be so shameless for his family, he is really a good man.

You must know that Xiao Fan has a relationship with King Qi, so he can be regarded as a celebrity.

In front of Lin Xi, he doesn't care about the image so much, which is really eye-popping, and it is also another kind of eye-catching.

"Lord Lin, thank you very much......"

"Lord Lin, you really don't want to eat...... Belch! If I don't eat it, I'm really wrapped? ”

"Xiao Gongzi, please, if Xiao Gongzi likes it, next time the old man will prepare an extra food box in advance."

Lin Xi couldn't cry or laugh, I had never seen such a shameless teenager, just pack it, the food box is full and I want to fill it.

What do you mean by that look of regret?

Really eat me when the autumn wind is coming?

Xiao Fan waved his hand: "Don't bother, don't bother!" ”

Lin Xi nodded, and said in his heart, you still have to have a little face, at least you know that the packaging is not suitable.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan said:

"Next time, I'll bring my wife and Brother Zongbao together, so I don't have to pack it!"

“……”

Lin Xi took a deep breath and tried his best to stabilize his expression, he really wanted to roll his eyes!

"Hehe, Xiao Gongzi is really temperamental." Lin Xi praised.

But if it's not a heartfelt compliment, it's unknown.

Xiao Fan: "My lord praised it." ”

"Hiccup......

After a conversation, he completely choked back what Lin Xi wanted to say a few times.

He really couldn't wait, because he was about to pick up the food box and run away!

"Young Master Xiao, you have a friendship with His Royal Highness King Qi, do you know what His Royal Highness King Qi is dissatisfied with this place?"

"Dissatisfied?"

Xiao Fan waved his hand: "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Then why, His Royal Highness the King of Qi sent someone to kill Long Er?" ”

Long Er is the real name of the one-eyed dragon, his surname is Long, and he is the second oldest in the family.

In this era, many uneducated families are so sloppy in naming their children.

"Lord Lin has thought too much." Xiao Fan waved his hand.

"Oh?"

Xiao Fan said casually: "His Royal Highness King Qi just sent someone to protect me, not against anyone." ”

"Huh?"

Protecting you?

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes and said tentatively: "Hiss...... What kind of friendship is the prince with His Royal Highness the King of Qi, he can actually send a personal guard to protect you? ”

As for how Ryuuji died, Lin Xi didn't care anymore.

"Well...... this"

Xiao Fan sighed: "Your Highness won't let me spread it casually. ”

"Oh......" Lin Xi nodded clearly, he didn't need to know more, at least he was sure that Xiao Fan's status in King Qi's heart was not low.

This means that you have to be more careful.

Lin Xi dragged the stool, leaned closer to Xiao Fan, and whispered:

"Has Your Highness ever said that you have any opinion on the matter of Little Camel Mountain?"

Lin Xi suspected that Ryuuji's death might be related to the business of Little Camel Mountain, and this matter was face-damaging after all.

If the king of Qi returns to Beijing to join him, then Lin Xi will be finished.

No one will offend a prince for a small county order, even other princes who are in the ascendant will not refute the face of the king.

When the time comes, Lin Xi will definitely be held accountable, and he will become the chicken who kills chickens and sets an example for monkeys.

Even if you don't die, you have to take off this official robe.

This is the reason why Lin Xi invited Xiao Fan to the banquet, he wanted to find out the secret from Xiao Fan's mouth.

"Little Camel Mountain?"

Xiao Fan shook his head: "The matter of Little Camel Mountain, Shopkeeper Li has already explained, I told His Highness, His Highness will not trouble you." ”

"Oh?" When Lin Xi heard this, he was greatly surprised, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for speaking up!" ”

"Hey," Xiao Fan smiled, "Everyone is in the same boat, I have also participated in this business, if I am held accountable, I will not be able to escape, Lord Lin, don't you say?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Lin Xi was even happier.

Good guys, we're in the same boat!

It's so dangerous, I've been worried for so long!

But Xiao Fan's next words made him frown again.

"Although His Royal Highness King Qi does not hold us accountable, he also said that he doesn't like this kind of thing, so Lord Lin should change his approach in the future." Xiao Fan said casually, as if he was really passing the word, as if he didn't mean it.

But this time, it made Lin Xi difficult:

"Your Highness is right, this kind of thing is not on the table...... But Xiao Gongzi, if the old man has the slightest method, where can he do this? ”

Lin Xi said bitterly: "Can the old man not know that this is a violation of the law and a humiliation of the court?" ”

"The old man has been honest all his life, and he is an official, at least he has not been greedy......"

Xiao Fan didn't think he heard this, he didn't plan to mention the matter of Chunfeng Building at all.

You may not be greedy, but you are not less engaged in using power for personal gain.

However, there are a few officials in this era who are clean, and Xiao Fan will not use the standards of saints to demand others.

A person, as long as there is no major problem, can make friends, but the use is different.

"But this is an edict of the imperial court, and it is a task!"

Lin Xi said bitterly: "Within two years of the imperial court, the number of newborns in Lantai County will be twice as many as last year...... The adults above only set the task, but they didn't give any guidance on how to do it. ”

Xiao Fan smiled, somewhat sympathetic to this county order.

As long as the production indicators are above, no matter how you do it, this thing sounds so familiar.

"Xiao Gongzi, what do you say I can do, this bad move is also made by the master, there is really no better way!" Lin Xi was extremely helpless.

Speaking of this, Lin Xi paused and looked at Xiao Fan resentfully:

"But now, Ryuuji is also dead, what will happen to this in the future?"

"If I don't meet the target, I will be punished for a small matter, but I am afraid that this official hat will be taken off!"

As he spoke, Lin Xi's eyes were full of tears, but he wasn't pretending, he was really wronged.

"You said, they want the people to have more children, and they refuse to allocate funds, what can I do with a small county order?"

Xiao Fan ate silently, regardless of his crying, pretending not to understand anything.

But he knew that this old thing would not let himself go easily.

Sure enough, Lin Xi cried: "Young Master Xiao, you provoked this matter, and now that Long Er is dead, you have to help me with this matter!" ”
