The Days in Central Plains

Chapter 178: Hongmen Night Banquet

Views:

The second day was still fine. Starting from noon, our prison food and food have been significantly improved. We have meat and wine at every meal. In the evening, the Ya Ya gave us a double room.

I guess that monitoring token has worked, and the six doors have never appeared. Liu Qingfeng couldn't stand it, saying that with the martial arts of the two of us, it shouldn't be a problem to kill from the inside. I said to wait and see the changes.

On the afternoon of the third day, I was chatting with Liu Qingfeng, and heard a sound of footsteps, the prison door opened, and he walked into a seven-foot burly man to see his clothes. It should be the head catcher of the six doors of Kaifeng Mansion.

When I was in Beijing, Xie Delong told me about the six-door personnel in various state roads, and also talked about some official rules. I think he was nagging and didn't care much.

Li Chaoyang came in, clasped his fists in his hands and said: Li Chaoyang, the head of the six doors, see Master Supervisor.

I saw him bowing according to the rules of the arena and not acting in accordance with the rules of the officialdom. After all, I went to the capital from Kaifeng to verify my identity. Even if I rushed to speed up my identity, it would take three or four days. It is estimated that my identity will not be confirmed in the past few days, but I still have some worries after changing the food and the cell.

If you wait for Jingcheng's reply to come to me again, I am afraid it will offend me, so come visit me at this time, the time is just right.

I bowed my hands and said, Li catches his head.

Speaking of handing over a cigarette, you think I have to trouble you to run. I'm sorry!

Li Chaoyang looked hesitant, and said that his subordinates are investigating the case in other places these days, and to welcome the late arrival, please don't blame the supervisor.

I teased, the food here is very good, and the room is saved. How can you blame you? Why, come and take us out

Li Chaoyang said in embarrassment. The slave came down to plead with the supervisor. I learned from the guard that you have offended the son of Cui Mansion. The government found a head from your salute. The matter has not been clarified yet. When I went to Cui Mansion and told Sun Jiantai, the adults might still be wronged here for two days.

Kaifeng Mansion's envoy (Jiantai) Sun Feiren was in charge of six doors, and he was considered Li Chaoyang's immediate superior. I learned from the cell boss that the Cui family is quite powerful in Kaifeng. The chief envoy and the head of the six doors are all foreigners. Soon after taking office, the real power departments are firmly controlled by the Cui family. According to Li Chaoyang, it is estimated that I'm afraid it's not calm outside for the past two days.

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

Regarding ranks, I don't have official status, but my secret supervisory status is enough to put a lot of pressure on Li Chaoyang. If I let me go out, I am afraid that I will offend Cui Mansion. If I are detained here, I am afraid that I will wear small shoes to them in the future.

However, as a local official, the strong dragon does not suppress the snake, especially before the power is stabilized, easily provoking right and wrong, I am afraid Li Chaoyang can't afford it.

I can understand. After all, I was passing by. In the future, because I offend the Cui family, I will leave with a slap, and they will definitely have a hard time here.

I chuckled: It’s okay, it’s also very comfortable here, but there are a lot of mosquitoes. In fact, given the strength of Liu Qingfeng and I, common mosquitoes cannot get close at all.

Li Chaoyang immediately called his subordinates to scold him, and I watched with cold eyes, but just to show me. It didn't take long for his subordinates to inform him that the prefect asked Li Chaoyang to go over. Li Chaoyang repeatedly said goodbyes, saying that his subordinates were about to report the matter to the Lord Prefect, and asked the Lord Prefect to talk to Lord Jiantai to welcome me out as soon as possible.

That night, the head of the prison gave us a mosquito net, and the wine and meat served us.

Liu Qingfeng said strangely, this Li Chaoyang knows that you are the supervisor of the Dengwenyuan, and it stands to reason that you should be counted as their immediate boss. Why is it so unreliable

I said that where things are as simple as we thought, it is estimated that the outside world is already in chaos. This Cui Ruowang caught us and gave Kaifeng Mansion a problem. I heard that there is a saying here, called the Cui family of Tie Da, and the prefect of Liushui. In the past few years, Kaifeng has changed three or four terms. Either he died of illness or Ding You went home. I am afraid that the prefect’s yamen are not having a good time.

What to do then

I said to wait another two days.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Li Chaoyang and Mr. Jinyi came to the cell. As soon as Mr. Jinyi entered the door, he knelt on his knees: Caomin Cui Changfeng, on behalf of his fourth younger brother, kowtowed to Master Supervisor!

I looked at Li Chaoyang in doubt. Li Chaoyang said, this is Cui Changfeng, the eldest son of the Cui Mansion. Today, Master Jiantai was furious when he heard about this, and asked the old man of the Cui family to scold him. This would not allow me to bring Master Cui to ask the adults. Here comes.

I patted the dust on my body and said lightly, can we go out? Li Chaoyang said, that is natural. Having said that, he quickly ordered the next person to go through the formalities.

When the salute was retrieved, while the other people were not paying attention, the head of prisoner Li who had handed us the token came over and had to kneel. I quickly held on to him, head of prisoner Li, what are you doing

Head Li said, "Small ones have eyes but no beads, but adults have plenty of them. Don't blame it." Speaking of taking out the silver that he had handed him from his arms. I stretched out my hand to stop Dao. This is what I asked my brothers to drink tea. How can I take it back? The head of Li prisoner was about to give way when he happened to come in with Li Chaoyang and Cui Changfeng before he walked away tremblingly.

Cui Changfeng said that tonight my father held a banquet at Kongjiacai, and he wanted to shock the supervisor. Please also reward! I wanted to refuse, but seeing Li Chaoyang winking at me, I agreed.

The Hedong Cui family was in power in Kaifeng Mansion, and the Patriarch Cui Pengju was also quite famous in the Central Plains Wulin. I had heard of it myself, and when I saw myself, I was quite surprised. Cui Pengju is forty or fifty years old, with a short beard and wearing a coarse cotton-padded coat. Seeing me, he came up and held my hand like an old acquaintance he hadn't seen for many years.

A few days ago, the dog made a mistake and provoked the supervisor. After I learned of this, I punished the dog and learned that Master Qin was from Jinan Prefecture. I prepared some rough tea and light meals here. Thank you for your cheeks. He looks harmless to humans and animals, and his words are not leaking. If you don't know it in advance, it is hard to believe that this is the Kaifeng Mansion who is covering the sky with one hand, who has taken the prefects of Kaifeng Mansion to the sky.

Where do I say it, as the saying goes, you don’t know each other. I have long heard that Cui Daxia is chivalrous and unparalleled. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen the honor.

Also attending the banquet was Sun Feiren, the envoy of the Kaifeng Mansion, dressed as a Confucian student and wearing a square scarf. After saluting with Sun Jiantai, the guest and host were seated.

The food is usually flowing, and Cui Pengju will also arrange this. The Confucian Restaurant is famous for Shandong cuisine and has branches in the capital, but the prices are quite expensive and I have never been to eat.

Cui Pengju introduced the food while toasting, Mr. Qin, this is a special dish of our restaurant. I pointed to Liu Qingfeng, who was eating, and when I saw my brother’s food, I knew it tasted great.

As the old fritters between the applause of the Kaifeng officialdom, Cui Peng used his own ability to make the banquet atmosphere very active. As the host, he did not mention business affairs, talked about some interesting local martial arts, and talked about some palace secrets in Beijing, without mentioning it. The matter of putting me in prison.

I couldn't figure it out, everyone toasted, and I just tasted it.

After three rounds of wine, Cui Peng said: I wonder if Master Qin came to Kaifeng this time, how can I do business? I dare not say anything else. In Kaifeng Mansion, Cui is still relatively small and famous. If you can use the place, just open your mouth and treat it as an apologize to you from my Cui family.

I secretly laughed, this old fox is playing his tricks on me. It's okay if I'm crossing the road, the Dengwen Academy has just been established. If I really come to Kaifeng Mansion on official business, I'm afraid he will have to be wary of it.

So, I was just the guard of the Central Plains Escort. This trip was about to go to the west to send a dart. Because of some misunderstanding with Cui Gongzi on the road, he was brought in. Patriarch Cui doesn't need to be too harsh. We are a bit special in the darts. Young Master Cui mistakenly regarded me as bandits. Reporting to the government is also the duty of Miyoshi citizens.

After all, there was a vague sense of anxiety in my heart. He quickly released his spiritual knowledge and felt that two masters were hidden behind the screen in the room. The two of them have a lot of skills in hiding their breaths, and they should be second-tier masters. There are still seven or eight third- and fourth-rank masters guarding outside the door. If it weren't for the fact that they had realized the last time, their spiritual consciousness had greatly increased. His grandma's, there is no good food, this is a Hongmen feast.

With the strength of the two of me, I am afraid that they are not masters of the other side. If the other side really wants to kill the two of me, with their strength, they can naturally do it seamlessly. I was shocked in a cold sweat, cheered up, and dealt with it carefully. Seeing Liu Qingfeng still violently attacking a plate of scallion-burned sea cucumbers, he was out of anger. Kicked him secretly.

Liu Qingfeng was holding a sea cucumber, and I stepped down and spouted a seat. Why are you kicking me

I said I'm afraid you are choking, let you eat slowly.

Cui Pengjulian asked to change the banquet table. Cui Pengju speaks in the cloud, and he is obviously not at ease with us. When I was wary, I would naturally stay seven points when I spoke. I said less if I should say, and avoided the past with court secrets if I shouldn't.

At this moment, you can't be sloppy at all, but you can't be stage fright, you should pretend to be forced, bragging, and the atmosphere becomes more lively. Speaking of the capital, Cui Pengju his second son, Cui Changshui, was also an official in the Ministry of Industry of the capital, and vaguely mentioned that he had friendships with some high-ranking officials in Beijing.

While talking, Cui Peng raised his wine glass and played with it in his hand.

I wondered if you were going to throw a cup as a slogan. I cheered up and said: I have long heard that Cui Changshui, the head of the Ministry of Engineering, turned out to be the second son of the Cui family. I am so young that he became the 6th-Rank master. I really admire it! When I left Beijing this time, when I went to the courtyard to report the route, I met Mr. Xiang, the Minister of Engineering, Mr. Xiang, who spoke of your son but praised him, and the future is limitless!

Hmph, play a dumb riddle with me, I heard no, I came to Kaifeng and started to report the itinerary to the Dengwen Academy! Sure enough, Cui Peng lifted the wine glass, saying that I would like to offer the Lord a good word! After all, drank it all in one go. This Cui Peng gave Daxia Qin for a while, Master Qin for a while, and he was probably weighing my words as to whether or not to act.

Sun Jiantai also said that this time Master Qin came to Kaifeng Mansion, it would be better to stay a few more days. The six doors and Dengwenyuan are also family members. Let us do some of the friendship of landlords. I'll toast you all!

Liu Qingfeng was eating a chicken leg, and when he saw Sun Jiantai toasting, he quickly brought the wine glass, accidentally knocking over a wine glass.

With a snap, the wine glass broke to the ground.

Cui Pengju said loudly, it's okay! It's okay!

Liu Qingfeng yelled, shocked, and smashed another plate.

The meal was thrilling, and my throat was in my heart. If the few people heard the movement, they rushed in. Even if we pretend to be confused, even if this matter is torn apart, I'm afraid we will be accountable here.

Ten thousand grass and mud horses are running in my heart.
