Out of the store, Da Kui was shocked. Outside the door, there is a red silk sedan chair, and there are four sedan chair drivers before and after the sedan chair. What surprised Da Kui even more was that there were 50 soldiers in the front two zhang of the sedan chair and two zhang in the back of the sedan chair, holding guns and standing in two teams. Da Kui never thought of such a battle, and turned his head to look at Master Feng. Master Feng said: "This is the honor guard for the adults to travel, and the adults are going to the banquet today." If it is an official tour, the honor guard will not be so simple. Da Kui wanted to say that this was too ostentatious, but when he heard Master Feng say this, he held back the words in his heart.

Da Kui walked to the front of the sedan chair, and the sedan chair driver had already lifted the curtain. Da Kui has never sat in a sedan chair when he is so big, so he looked at the sedan chair up and down, left and right. Master Feng reminded by his side: "My lord, please get on the sedan chair." Da Kui then stepped over the sedan bar and entered the sedan chair and sat on the soft seat, and the sedan chair man lowered the curtain. Da Kui was inside and couldn't stop watching up and down, left and right, and Master Feng outside the sedan chair shouted: "Get up the sedan chair." ”

Eight sedan chair drivers slowly lifted the soft sedan chair, and Da Kui felt very stable and comfortable sitting in it. I couldn't help but think, 'My mother, this is too comfortable.' Hearing that someone in front of the team sounded the gong to open the road, he stretched out his hand to open the small window on the side of the sedan and saw Xu Yuan, Dong Hu and the two guarding on the side of the sedan car, presumably Tian Feng and Zhou Kai were on the other side.

The team walked for a while and arrived at Taihe Building, the largest restaurant in Longping, and there were several officials leading by Lord Yin of Longping Mansion in front of the building. When the team stopped and dropped the sedan chair, the sedan chair driver lifted the sedan chair curtain, and Da Kui slowly walked out of the sedan chair. Lord Wang bowed his hand to the front, bowed and said, "Xiaguan Wang Xiyuan greets the political envoy Zhang." ”

Although Wang Xiyuan was dressed in civilian clothes at this time, he was ten years older than Da Kui, and Da Kui suddenly felt a little unnatural, and hurriedly reached out to help: "Lord Wang is exempt from courtesy." After Wang Xiyuan finished the salute, he stretched out his hand and asked: "The lower official will prepare a little thin wine, and Lord Zhang will come upstairs." Da Kui hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please first." Behind him, Master Feng coughed dryly, walked over and whispered to Da Kui: "According to the official rank, Lord Wang is a fourth-grade and a magistrate. And Mr. Zhang, you are a second-class court official, so you should go first. Da Kui couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart: 'Why are you so polite. I want to think about it, but I still follow Master Feng's instructions to go first.

There was already a shopkeeper leading the way to the second floor, and there was only one table of wine banquet in the hall on the second floor. There were yacha standing solemnly all around, and Wang Xiyuan stretched out his hand again to invite: "Lord Zhang, please take a seat." Da Kui thought about Master Feng's words, and he was not humble, and walked away. Master Feng hurriedly caught up and pulled Da Kui's sleeve and said in his ear: "Lord Wang is the master, you are a guest, you need to be humble." ”

Da Kui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and arched his hand: "Lord Wang is the parent official of this Longping Mansion, and he should be seated." "I can't help but complain in my heart, 'It's really annoying to eat a meal with so much attention.'"

Wang Xiyuan arched his hand and smiled: "Lord Zhang is on a mission, so he should be seated." Da Kui looked at Master Feng, and Master Feng made a look. Da Kui smiled and said, "So I'm seated." Master Feng suddenly felt sweaty.

Wang Xiyuan stretched out his hand to make an invitation, led Da Kui around the wine table and sat on the chair facing the stairs, and then came to sit opposite Da Kui. Master Feng, Xu Yuan, Dong Hu, Tian Feng, and Zhou Kai stood still behind Da Kui.

After sitting down, Wang Xiyuan first raised his glass and said, "Lord Zhang is tired of saddle horses, and the next official will first toast Lord Zhang." Da Kui hurriedly raised his glass and said, "I'm not tired, I'm just hungry." Wang Xiyuan smiled and said: "Lord Zhang has a good temperament, Wang admires it, so he is the first to do it as a respect." After that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and Da Kui also drank it with him.

Next, this Wang Xiyuan talked to Da Kui and saluted Da Kui three cups. Da Kui was a little impatient, and said bluntly: "Lord Wang, I'm not used to talking like this, so it's better to say anything casually." Wang Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This is very good, the lower officials obey the order." ”

Da Kui said frankly: "I heard that the people of Longping praised you for being fair and honest and a good official, so I have nothing to say." When Wang Xiyuan heard Da Kui say this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This is a matter within the official position, thank you Lord Zhang for your reputation." Da Kui shook his hand and said: "It's not that I praise you, what you do is convincing to the people." ”

Wang Xiyuan smiled slightly, and was very moved in his heart. Da Kui did inquire about Wang Xiyuan's style, but Wang Xiyuan was a good official and had a good reputation among the people.

Wang Xiyuan is a scholar and a great talent. Helplessly, the Yuan court did not use nepotism, and it was difficult for the Han people to make a difference in the court. In his early years, Wang Xiyuan only made a master book of classics in Longping Mansion, and he only made nine products. Zhu Yuanzhang exterminated Chen Youliang in the Battle of Panyang Lake, and then recovered all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, during which he discovered Wang Xiyuan's talent and was promoted to the fourth rank of Yin Guanju in Longping Mansion. Wang Xiyuan thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for his kindness, and he has always been honest and conscientious as an official.

The yacha at the table came over to fill the wine and retreated aside, Da Kui was silent for a moment and said, "There is something I need to ask Lord Wang for." Wang Xiyuan arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and the lower officials know everything." Da Kui asked, "Why did Luo Dahai of Zhengtong Dart Bureau commit a murder?"

Wang Xiyuan replied: "On the way back, Luo Dahai beat the evil young man Li Defu to death because of the uneven road in Jiahe County. The bitter lord sued the court, and Jiahe County ordered him to be taken into custody. Da Kui was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Please also ask Lord Wang to speak carefully." ”

Wang Xiyuan then told the story: It turned out that Luo Dahai settled in Shanghe Town, Jiahe County, and saw the evil young man Li Defu robbing the people's daughters in the name of debt collection, and he was angry and argued with Li Defu for a while. Li Defu connived at several members of his family to beat Luo Dahai, Luo Dahai and several dart masters beat Li Defu to death in the battle, and is now detained in the Jiahe County Prison to wait for his fate.

Da Kui groaned: "I know Naluo Dahai, this person has a straight temper but is not a bad person. Lord Wang, how do you think it should be done?"

Wang Xiyuan said bluntly: "Although Li Defu is hateful, his crime is not as good as death, but Luo Dahai's accidental murder is difficult to escape the law, and he should be beheaded for the crime." Wang Xiyuan paused for a moment and said: "Today, the old dart head of Huang Shijie, who is in the dart game, once came to find the lower officials, and offered five hundred taels of silver to fight up and down. I don't know what Master Zhang thinks about this matter?"

Although Da Kui is not good at words, he is not what he used to be, and he is no longer the fool he was back then. Knowing that Wang Xiyuan was tempting with words, he had to say perfunctorily: "This matter is in charge of Lord Wang, and I can't make up my mind." ”

Wang Xiyuan groaned: "The dangers experienced by the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and killing people is a common thing, but it is not legally permissible to openly kill people in the state capital. Da Kui saw Wang Xiyuan say this, so he said haha: "Let's not talk about these things for now, come and come, drink." After that, he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank another round with Wang Xiyuan.

Da Kui asked with the intention of drinking: "I still don't know what age Lord Wang is?" Wang Xiyuan smiled and said: "Xiaguan has spent forty-five spring and autumn periods, I don't know how old you are Lord Zhang?"

Da Kui smiled and said, "I'm thirty-two, so Lord Wang is thirteen years older than me." The adults are called Significant Shengfen, and I will call you Lao Wang in the future. ”

Wang Xiyuan didn't realize that his face was green.
