Chapter 180: Hongmen Night Banquet

readx;?

The next day was still fine, and from noon onwards, our prison meals were markedly improved, and there was wine and meat at every meal, and that evening, the servants changed us to a double room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I guess the watchdog token did its job, and the Six Doors didn't show up. Liu Qingfeng couldn't wait, and said that with the martial arts of the two of us, it shouldn't be a big problem to kill it from the inside, and I said wait and see.

On the afternoon of the third day, Liu Qingfeng and I were chatting, when I heard a sound of footsteps, the cell door opened, and a seven-foot burly man walked in.

When I was in the capital, Xie Delong popularized the six doors of the state roads to me, and also told me some officialdom rules, I think he nagged and didn't pay much attention.

Li Chaoyang came in, clasped his fists with both hands and said: Li Chaoyang, the head of the six doors, see the supervisor.

I saw that he saluted according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and did not act according to the rules of officialdom. After all, it will take three or four days to go to the capital from Kaifeng to verify my identity, even if it is fast, and it is estimated that I will not be able to get my identity in these days, but after changing meals and prison cells, I still have some concerns.

If you wait for the capital to reply and come to me again, I am afraid that you will offend me, so this time to visit me is just right.

I bowed my hand and saluted back, Li Zhutou is good.

As he spoke, he handed over a cigarette, and you see that he would trouble you to come and run. I'm sorry!

Li Chaoyang's face was hesitant, and he said, his subordinates have been investigating cases in other places in the past few days, and they are late to greet them, and they ask the supervisor not to blame.

I teased, the food here is very good, and it saves money for the house, how can I blame you?

Li Chaoyang was slightly embarrassed and said, my subordinates asked the supervisor to plead guilty, I learned from the errand that you offended the son of the Cui Mansion, and the government found a human head from your salute, and the matter has not yet been clarified, plus the Cui Mansion has been informed by Sun Zhentai, and the adult may have to be wronged here for two days.

Kaifeng Prefecture is in charge of six doors according to the envoy (Zhentai) Sun Feiren, who is Li Chaoyang's top boss. I learned from the cell boss that the Cui family has a lot of power in Kaifeng Mansion, and the political envoy and the chief arrester of the six doors are all outsiders, and not long after taking office, the real power departments are firmly controlled by the Cui family.

When I entered the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, it was like a hot potato, which caused a problem for Kaifeng Mansion.

In terms of rank, I don't have an official status, but my secret surveillance identity is enough to bring a lot of pressure to Li Chaoyang. If you let me out, I am afraid that I will offend the Cui Mansion, and if I am detained here, I am afraid that I will give them small shoes in the future.

However, as a local official, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, especially before the power is stable, it is easy to provoke right and wrong, I am afraid that Li Chaoyang will not be able to bear the guilt.

I can understand, after all, I am passing by, and in the future, because I offended the Cui family, I will pat my ass and leave, and their life here will definitely be difficult.

I smiled: It's okay, it's quite comfortable here, but there are a lot of mosquitoes. In fact, with the strength of me and Liu Qingfeng, ordinary mosquitoes can't get close at all.

Li Chaoyang immediately called his subordinates and scolded him, I looked at it coldly, but it was just for me. It didn't take long for some of his subordinates to pass through, saying that the prefect had asked Li Chaoyang to come over to discuss the matter. Li Chaoyang resigned again and again, saying that his subordinates were about to report the matter to the prefect, and asked the prefect to talk to the lord of Zhentai and welcome me out as soon as possible.

That night, the cell boss set up mosquito nets for us, and we were served with good wine and meat.

Liu Qingfeng said strangely, this Li Chaoyang knows that you are the supervisor of the Dengwen Academy, and it stands to reason that you should be regarded as their top boss, how can you do things so unreliable?

I said that things are as simple as we thought, and I guess it's been turned upside down outside. This Cui Ruowang arrested us, and it gave Kaifeng Mansion a problem. I heard that there is a saying here, called the Cui family who beats the iron and the prefect who flows water, Kaifeng has changed three or four terms in recent years, and he either died of illness or Ding Wei went home, I am afraid that the prefect's yamen will not have a good time.

So what to do?

I said wait two more days.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Li Chaoyang and Brother Jinyi came to the cell, and as soon as the Brother Jinyi entered the door, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: Cui Changfeng, a grass citizen, kowtowed to the supervisor on behalf of the fourth brother!

I looked at Li Chaoyang suspiciously, and Li Chaoyang said, this is Cui Changfeng, the eldest son of the Cui Mansion, today the Lord of Zhentai learned about this, and he was furious, and he scolded the old lady of the Cui family, which didn't let me bring Cui Gongzi to ask the adults for their guilt.

I patted the dust on my body and said lightly, can we go out? Li Chaoyang said, that is nature. As he spoke, he hurriedly instructed his subordinates to go through the formalities.

When I got back the salute, while the others didn't pay attention, Li Cell, who had helped us hand the token before, came over and was about to kneel, I hurriedly held it and said, Li Cell, what are you doing here?

Li Jiaotou said that the small ones have eyes but no beads, and I hope that the adults have a large number, so don't blame them. As he spoke, he pulled out the silver that had been handed to him from his bosom. I stretched out my hand to stop it, I asked my brothers to drink tea, where is the reason to take it back? Li Cell Boss was about to push back, but happened to run into Li Chaoyang and Cui Changfeng coming in, and then walked away tremblingly.

Cui Changfeng said that tonight, my father set up a banquet in the Kong family's cuisine, and he wanted to shock the supervisor. I wanted to excuse myself, but when I saw Li Chaoyang wincing my eyebrows with me, I agreed.

The Cui family in Hedong is powerful in Kaifeng Mansion, and the head of the family, Cui Pengju, is also quite famous in the Central Plains martial arts. Cui Pengju, who was forty or fifty years old, with a short beard and wearing a coarse cotton coat, saw me and held my hand as if he had not seen an old acquaintance for many years.

Some time ago, the dog made a mistake and provoked the supervisor, I learned about it and punished the dog, and learned that Lord Qin was from Jinan Mansion, and prepared some coarse tea and light rice here, thank you for your face. looks harmless to people and animals, and speaks without leakage, if you don't understand it in advance, it's hard to believe that this is the person who covers the sky in Kaifeng Mansion and sets aside several prefects of Kaifeng Mansion.

Where I said, as the so-called don't fight, don't know each other. I have long heard that Cui Daxia is chivalrous, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen honor.

Also attending the banquet was Sun Feiren, the envoy of Kaifeng Mansion, dressed as a Confucian scholar and wearing a square scarf, and after saluting each other with Sun Zhentai, the guests and hosts sat down.

The food generally flows, this Cui Pengju will also arrange, Confucius restaurant is famous for Lu cuisine, and there are branches in the capital, but the price is quite expensive, and I have never eaten it.

Cui Pengju introduced the food while toasting, Lord Qin, this is the specialty of this restaurant, and the belt is on the court, I don't know if it suits the taste. As soon as I pointed to Liu Qingfeng, who was feasting, I saw that my brother was eating, and I knew that the taste was excellent.

As an old fritter between playing and applauding the Kaifeng officialdom, Cui Peng has his own ability to make the atmosphere of the banquet extremely active, as the host, he doesn't mention the business, talks about some interesting local martial arts stories, and talks about some palace secrets in the capital, and never mentions the matter of putting the two of us in prison.

I was confused, everyone toasted, and I just tasted it.

After three rounds of drinking, Cui Peng raised his talents and said: I don't know what kind of business Lord Qin has to do when he comes to Kaifeng this time? Don't dare to say anything else, in Kaifeng Mansion, Cui is still a little famous, if you can use it, even if you open your mouth, it will be regarded as an apology from my Cui family to you.

I laughed secretly, this old fox is talking to me. if

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I'm passing through, it's okay, Dengwen Yuan has just been established, if I really come to Kaifeng Mansion for business, I'm afraid he will have to be careful.

So he said, in the next is just the dart master of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, and this trip is about to go to the west to send a dart, because there is some misunderstanding with Cui Gongzi on the way, and he was brought in. The head of the Cui family doesn't have to be too harsh, we have some special darts on us, Cui Gongzi mistakenly regarded the two of us as bandits, and it is also the obligation of the three good citizens to report to the government.

After all, I had a vague feeling of uneasiness in my heart. Hurriedly released his divine sense, and felt that behind the screen in the room, there were two masters hidden. The two of them have a deep sense of concealment, and they should be second-grade masters. There are also seven or eight three or four masters guarding the door, if it weren't for the realization of the end of the day some time ago, the spiritual sense has increased greatly, this time it is secretly on guard, I am afraid it will be difficult to find. His grandmother's, there is no good food, this is a Hongmen feast.

With the strength of the two of us, I'm afraid they are not the masters of the other party, if the other party really wants to kill the two of us, with their strength, they can naturally do it seamlessly. I broke out in a cold sweat, brace myself, and deal with it carefully. Seeing that Liu Qingfeng was still attacking a plate of roasted sea cucumbers with green onions, he was angry. Secretly kicked him.

Liu Qingfeng was holding a sea cucumber in his mouth, and I stepped down and snorted. Why are you kicking me?

I said I'm afraid you'll choke, so I'll tell you to eat slowly.

Cui Pengju even asked people to change the table of banquets. Cui Pengju spoke in a fog, obviously not at ease with us. I am wary, and I will naturally leave seven points when I speak, say less when I should say, and avoid the past with court secrets when I shouldn't say.

At this moment, there is no sloppiness at all, but there is no stage fright, it is time to pretend to be forced, it is time to brag, and the atmosphere is more lively. Speaking of the capital, Cui Pengju's second son Cui Changshui is also an official in the Ministry of Industry in the capital, and vaguely mentioned that he has some friendships with some dignitaries in Beijing.

As he spoke, Cui Peng raised his wine glass and played with it in his hand.

I thought that you were going to smash the cup as a number, and I cheered up and said: I have long heard the name of Cui Changshui, the director of the Ministry of Industry, and it turned out to be the second son of the Cui family, and he became the head of the six products at such a young age, I really admire! When I left Beijing this time, when I went to the courtyard to report the route, I met Lord Xiang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry.

Hmph, play dumb riddles with me, do you hear it, Lao Tzu came to Kaifeng and began to report the itinerary with Dengwen Academy! Sure enough, Cui Peng raised his wine glass and said that if you borrow the good words of the adult, I will give the adult a glass! This Cui Peng will raise Qin Daxia for a while, and Lord Qin for a while, and he will probably be weighing my words, whether to act.

Sun Zhentai also said that this time Lord Qin came to Kaifeng Mansion, it is better to stay for a few more days, and the six doors and Dengwen Courtyard are also a family, let us do some of the friendship of landlords. I'm here to toast you!

Liu Qingfeng was eating a chicken leg, and when he saw Sun Zhentai toasting, he hurriedly took a wine glass and accidentally knocked over a wine glass.

With a snap, the glass shattered.

Cui Pengju said loudly, it's okay!

Liu Qingfeng roared like this, startled, snapped, and broke another plate.

The meal was so thrilling that my heart was in my throat, and when those people heard the movement, they rushed in. Even if we pretend to be confused, even if we tear our faces apart, I'm afraid our lives will have to be explained here.

In my heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses are galloping.
