After a while, a young official wearing a three-grade stone blue peacock patch suit that didn't fit well walked into the hall and came to the position next to He Shen and sat down generously. "The old man will introduce you, this is Lord Mo, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission. He Shen said solemnly.

Gui Qi hurriedly bowed his hand: "Gui Qi, the prefect of Yichang, Xiaguan, see Lord Mo." "I secretly wondered how this Deputy Mo looked a little familiar.

Xiangyang Prefect Cha Shidong also felt the same way at this moment.

"No courtesy. "The child's voice growing out of Mo Zhi's throat has changed, and it is no longer like the voice of a few years ago.

"Gui Qi, the banquet can begin. ”

"Yes, my lord," Gui Qi said, standing up with a glass in his hand, "It is an honor for me to come to Yichang with my lordship. ”

He Shen raised his glass and took a sip of his surname.

"This second glass of wine should be honored by the deputy envoy Mo, the adult is young and promising, and the future is limitless. ”

The officials said one after another: "Unlimited, really unlimited." ”

Mo Yan picked up the wine glass and said, "Lord Gui, I heard that you have hunted a rare white bear and golden gall in the world to pay tribute to the emperor, and the credit is not small. ”

Gui Qi replied with a red face and smugness: "That is, the Holy Dragon Yan Dayue directly praised the ability of the officials to do things. ”

"I wonder how many people died for this golden gall?"

"This" Gui Qi was suddenly stuck, his face swollen red, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan doesn't know what the deputy envoy means"

Mo Yan drank all the wine and asked coldly, "How many taels of silver did each family of the deceased bereaved family give?"

"Two, twenty taels. Gui Qi stammered.

"So how much did the emperor reward you?"

"This" Gui Qi glanced at He Shen, and saw that he seemed indifferent, so he had to say, "Ten thousand taels of gold." ”

He Shen spoke: "Gui Qi, more than ten guards died, and each household only got twenty taels of silver, is your heart a little dark." ”

Beads of sweat oozed from Gui Qi's forehead, and he said continuously: "The lower officials mishandled it, mishandled it." ”

At this time, the officials of Yichang Prefecture present shouted in their hearts, some of them were dissatisfied with their arbitrariness and domineering, some were unhappy with the guards who died in the line of duty, and some were gloating and watching the excitement, and so on.

"This deputy envoy also heard that Lord Gui has been keeping a famous Qinglou who is both beautiful and artistic all the year round, so why not invite her to come out and sing and dance with the adult. ”

"There is such a beautiful woman, you can't just care about the golden house, why do you have to let everyone see it, what do you say?" He Shen smiled and swept his gaze towards everyone.

"Yes, Lord Katsura, please come out and meet you. People chimed in.

"Misinformation, it is purely misinformation, how can there be such a thing as a lower official. Gui Qi hurriedly denied it.

"I heard it's called Yan'er, right?" Mo Yan stared at him.

He Shen turned his face and said, "Gui Qi, deceiving the Qin Cha is equivalent to deceiving the emperor." ”

Gui Qi was in a cold sweat: "Xiaguan doesn't dare, that Yan'er is just an old acquaintance of Xiaguan, and now she is old and yellow, and she is afraid of staining the eyes of adults." ”

"Nonsense, the old man has been on the battlefield for a long time and has never seen anyone, so don't hurry up and ask him to come out. He Shen said angrily.

"Yes, the lower official will call it. Gui Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, beckoned someone to call Yan'er immediately.

In fact, Mrs. Min was in the inner hall, and when she heard that Qin had come to Yichang Mansion, she had long wanted to get acquainted with the most powerful Lord Heshen in the capital.

"Yan'er see Lord He," she said deeply in front of her, and still did not change the surname of the Qinglou woman, smiled charmingly at He Shen, and said with autumn waves in her eyes, "I have heard that Lord He is the most beautiful man in the capital, and now I said that when I saw it, the concubine had eyes." ”

Gui Qi was embarrassed on the side.

"Lord Gui said that you are old and yellow, and the old man may not see it, although you are a, you still have the charm. He Shen said hehehe.

Mrs. Min's face turned red, and she pretended to twist and said, "My lord is ashamed of the concubine." ”

Everyone in the hall snickered in private, and they all saw that this Lord Qincha seemed to be deliberately humiliating the Gui Governor's Mansion, so they all waited to see the joke.

"Lord Gui, this Yan'er is said to be a married wife, but it's true. Mo Yan continued to pursue.

"This"

He Shen laughed and said, "I can't see that Lord Gui has this habit." ”

Some officials had already laughed out loud, and then quickly held back their laughter.

Mrs. Min pretended to be angry, and pouted: "The concubine was familiar with Lord Gui before she got married, and besides, her late husband has been dead for many years, so it's good for Lord Gui to take pity on her." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan also saw that his young widow was very pitiful, so he gave a helping hand. Gui Qi hurriedly said.

"I wonder what disease Yan'er's late husband died of?" Mo Yan asked.

Gui Qi thought to himself, why did this deputy envoy of the Qin mission always have trouble with him.

"My husband died of a terminal illness. Mrs. Min replied.

"His son also died of a terminal heart disease, right?"

"Yes. ”

"This deputy envoy heard that the father and son of the old gang leader of the Wushan Gang Min were both killed by the 'Five Poisonous Hearts Dispersed', but is it true?"

The officials present all heard the smell of gunpowder getting stronger, and all of them were nervous, not knowing what would happen next.

"Nonsense, Lord Qincha don't listen to rumors, the concubine is already pitiful enough, who wants to make it worse" Mrs. Min's eyes blinked, and she actually shed tears.

"Yes, my lord, Xia Guan personally went to inspect it, and he did die of a misdiagnosis of a terminal heart disease, and the quack Xia Bashan's master and apprentice who colluded with Miao Fenglin in Wushan back then, Xia Guan had been wanted three years ago, but he was not caught. Gui Qi hurriedly replied.

Mo Yan continued to chase deeply: "Aren't the master and apprentice of Xia Bashan and Miao Fenglin all locked up in the dungeon of the Wushan Gang." ”

"Yes, but they've all escaped from the dungeon again. ”

At this time, He Shen said expressionlessly: "Gui Qi, since these people have escaped from the Wushan Gang, they belong to the grievances of the people, why do you want the government to come forward and send out sea arrest documents for the crime of escaping prison? You have a deep relationship with the Wushan Gang." ”

Hearing this, Gui Qi hurriedly knelt down, and said in his mouth: "Xiaguan is afraid, this matter was indeed handled properly at that time, but Xiaguan has no deep friendship with the Wushan Gang, and I hope that the adults will be aware of it." ”

At this time, Cha Shidong, the prefect of Xiangyang, who was present, finally understood, and he received an urgent document of 800 miles from Jingzhou from He Shen, asking him to rush to Yichang with Liu Xingwu, the garrison of Xiangyang, and 3,000 green battalion soldiers overnight. A year ago, Xia Guan had captured the wanted escaped fugitive Mo Yan according to the Yichang Mansion Sea Capture Document, according to his confession, Gui Qi, the prefect of Yichang, conspired with Yan'er, a woman in the Qinglou, to let Yan'er marry the old gang leader of the Wushan Gang Min Lao to take the opportunity to poison the gang leader's father and son, control the gang and share the benefits together. At that time, because Mo Yan could not produce evidence, he did not report to the authorities. ”

He Shen slapped the table heavily and shouted, "Gui Qi, are you guilty?"
