Xie An and others took the heavy gift to the Jufeng Tower to make an appointment, this Jufeng Tower is a very famous restaurant here, usually some people with heads and faces, there is a big and small affair to come here to entertain, so the business here is very prosperous, usually people here are very lively. Xie An and they had just arrived in front of the Jufeng Tower, and a guy had already come forward to greet Xie An, Xie An usually came here for entertainment, and he was very familiar with the guys here. After greeting each other, someone led the horse away, and when they saw eight people carrying large gift boxes into the restaurant, although these usually well-informed people could not help but be a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Xie An asked, "Where is the prefect in that room?" The man said, "The prefect has already covered the entire third floor, please go to the third floor." Xie An heard this and immediately walked to the third floor. As soon as he went up to the second floor, he heard the sound of the stairs, and then he heard someone say: "Has Xie An arrived, is that Xie An??" Xie An looked up: he saw a middle-aged man coming down from the third floor, not tall, looking very energetic, and said that Hu had a loud voice. Xie An immediately said, "I am Xie An, may I ask who you are?" The man said, "I am the master of the prefect." My name is Yao Guang. The prefect is waiting for you in the living room on the third floor. As soon as Xie An heard this, he raised his leg and went up to the third floor. As soon as Yao Guang saw it, he said: "Brother Xie An, you can go up by yourself, the place above is narrow, these brothers will go to the second floor to drink tea first." Xie An was shocked when he heard this, and was about to ask why, but who knew that the other party took back his words again, and then he said: "Of course, if Brother Xie is not worried about them, he can also let them go up together." However, when you eat, you should be separated, because you are a guest invited by the prefect. Xie An listened, didn't say a word, glanced at a few people, everyone understood, and walked to the third floor.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the third floor, I saw a few guards with knives standing at the door, and when I saw Xie An coming over, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Who are you looking for?" When Xie An saw this situation, he regretted that he didn't listen to the persuasion of Xiaolin and others, but don't look at him as a weak scholar, there is a masculinity in his bones, so he straightened his chest and said, "I am a guest invited by your prefect." After saying that, he handed the invitation over, and when these people saw it, they immediately changed to a smiling face and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xie." The prefect has instructed that as long as you come, you can walk in directly without reporting. You please. After saying that, he bent down and made a gesture of please. Xie An strode in, and when these people saw Xie An's appearance, they couldn't help but leak a subtle sneer at the corner of their mouths.

Xie An didn't go far inside when he saw the prefect Kan Ze striding over. Xie An saw that this Kan Ze was about forty years old, smiling, and when he saw Xie An, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Come on, Brother Xie." Hurry up and sit inside" After speaking, he pulled Xie An's hand with his hand, which seemed very close, which was similar to the cold look they met a few days ago. Xie An said: "Your Excellency, thank you for your hospitality. Xie is grateful. After speaking, he pointed back and said, "Lord Prefect, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it." When the prefect Kan Ze saw it, he immediately pretended to be angry and said: "Brother Xie, you are too polite, how dare I accept such a heavy gift?" Xie An said as soon as he heard it: "Lord Prefect, it is not a matter of respect. Kan Ze waved his hand to the people behind him after seeing it, and immediately a few people came over, took the gift box from these people, and carried it to other rooms.

Kan Ze said: "Brother Xie, the two of us are talking in this room, do you want these brothers to go to the room next to the two of us to rest and have tea." Seeing Kan Ze receiving the gift and smiling, Xie An's heart was slightly relieved. Hearing Kan Ze say this, Xie An said: "The prefect is reasonable, there is a good saying, the guest is as the host goes." How do you arrange it? After saying that, he said to the family members, "You go to the next room to rest, and I have important matters to discuss with the prefect." When these people heard this, they felt very embarrassed, and when they came, Xiao Lin repeatedly told them not to leave Xie An, but now Xie An himself said that he wanted them to obey the arrangements of others and go to the next room to rest and eat tea. But Xie An's words couldn't help but listen, these people hesitated for a while, and then walked into the room next to them under the arrangement of others.

When I arrived at the room, I saw that a table of first-class wine had already been set up. Kan Ze said, "Brother Xie, please sit at the table." Xie An looked at the banquet and said, "The prefect is too polite. Your Excellency, please," he sat down with his head drooping. The prefect Kan Ze sat on the top and hung his head. After a while, the master and a few people with heads and faces from the prefect's yamen walked in, and after they greeted Xie An, they sat around and watched. Someone poured the wine glass in front of everyone full of wine, Kan Ze picked up the wine glass and said, "Today is called the wine of atonement, Brother Xie, please." Xie An picked up his glass. Xie An said: "Why do adults say that? Since God has let you and I meet, it must be the fate of this life, and I hope that adults will take care of it from now on. Kan Ze said: "Brother Xie will see the outside world when he says this, as long as Brother Xie finds Kan Ze and me for something, I will definitely help when I arrive." Come on, let's dry this glass of wine first. After speaking, he raised his glass, and everyone also raised his glass, and after clinking the glasses, Kan Ze drank it all. First of all, when they saw it, they drank the wine. Someone has to give to the full. Kan Ze saw that everyone had dried up the wine, so he hurriedly gave Xie Anbu food. Xie An was naturally polite again. Not to mention, the atmosphere at this time is quite harmonious.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, I heard Kan Ze say: "Brother Xie, I don't know something, and I hope Brother Xie will make it clear" Xie An heard it, I'm afraid I have to talk about business at this time. Xie An said: "If the prefect has something to say, just say it" "Okay, happy, worthy of being a hero among people." Admire under it. Kan Ze said: "Recently, there have been rumors that there are three or four hundred people in your family, and there are also nursing homes, and these add up to more than 30 people. Xie An heard that there was something to say. So he said: "My lord's words are wrong, you know, our Xie family is also said to be a big family in Jiangnan, and there are many transactions in the nearby hundred miles that are controlled by our Xie family, or controlled by our family." Besides, there are some wealthy families in the town, and there are not dozens of people in that family. "Xie An's words are very apt and appropriate. It is really advantageous, polite and courteous.

As soon as Kan Ze heard it, he knew that he had encountered a hard stubble today, so he said unhurriedly: "Brother Xie, don't give me a sloppy eye, I'm not a three-year-old child, besides, your family is still training nearby, I ask you, what are you recruiting so many people for, what kind of evil intentions are you hiding, today Brother Xie wants to give me a clear reason for the past." Speaking of this, it shows that Kan Ze is clear about the Xie family. Xie An said, "My lord, the reason I have already said just now is that there will be more people who will be needed for the great cause of the family." ”

When Kan Ze heard this, the boss in his heart was unhappy, and he said: "There are many people who need a great family, but even if there are many people who need it, it will not need thousands of people, let me ask you, what do you want to do?" So Xie An suddenly stood up, and he said: "Since the adults are suspicious of Xie An, then why use this excuse, it would be better to arrest me directly." With that, he got up and walked out. As soon as he walked out, four or five people hula surrounded him, staring at him with angry eyes. Xie An said loudly, "What do you want to do?" Kan Ze said, "Since you are here, don't think about leaving so early." ”
