Xue Kewen, Yang Tai and others happily sounded the gong to open the way, leading Xiao Tang and others to drive straight to the building in Qixian County, Dengzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Dengzhou was called "穰" in ancient times, and this building is also one of the most magnificent and famous restaurants in Dengzhou.

When Xiao Tang first arrived at the tower, a group of civil and military officials in Dengzhou, such as Tuiguan, Confucius, Commander, Metropolitan Supervisor and so on, hugged each other again, they were respectful, and they introduced Xiao Tang to salute, but Xiao Tang was dizzy by them, and basically didn't remember a few names. But he didn't have to worry about it, Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong around him had already paid attention to the actions of these officials.

Tang Pengxiu and other Xiao Tang's family members and family members have already been escorted to the post house in Sui County by Xue Kewen, after all, it is a banquet for officialdom, no matter whether Tang Pengxiu's identity is a wife or a maidservant, it is not so convenient to have her present.

Xiao Tang was invited to the banquet by Xue Kewen and Yang Tai, and Yan Qing, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi and other henchmen were also arranged between several tables. Xue Kewen had already ordered the celebrity chef in the building to cook more than a dozen tables of delicacies, and he only had a few polite words with Xiao Tang when he was present on official affairs in prison, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he said that he still had official business to do and left.

As soon as Xue Kewen left, Yang Tai immediately stood up and said with a smile to Xiao Tang: "The criminal officer is here, and the last general will not dare to make a mistake." Lord Xiao has worked hard all the way, why is this eating and drinking...... Naturally, you should listen to some little tunes. Our girl from the Qinglou of Lefang in Yuxian County is naturally not as good as the characters in the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Building of Lord Xiao, but how can we ask the last general to talk about his heart. ”

Immediately Yang Tai gave an order, and many official prostitutes and singers came in, only to see a piece of peach and willow green, purple and red, and a group of female porridge porridge for a while during the banquet, which also made the mood of the officials present a lot better.

As the singers and dancers came down singing and dancing, Yang Tai suddenly coughed dryly, lowered his voice and smiled at Xiao Tang: "Lord Xiao, among these official prostitutes and dancers, although they are not as prosperous as Jingshi, they also have a different style..... Is there any woman who can enter the eyes of Lord Xiao? The last general will go to arrange for Lord Xiao. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Tang glanced at Yang Tai in surprise, how could he still look like the head of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Forbidden Army all the way at this time? It's clearly a big teapot of turtles pimping to guest officers in a brothel in a green house.

"Lord Yang, according to my Great Song Lilu, when officials set up a banquet, although they invite official prostitutes to sing songs and serve wine, they are not allowed to recommend pillows privately. I'm afraid it's very inappropriate for Lord Yang to arrange it like this, right? Xiao Tang put down his wine glass, looked ahead and said leisurely.

Yang Tai's face froze, and when he was unable to come to the stage, Xiao Tang thought of the strategy that Wen Huanzhang recommended to him a few days ago, so he turned his face and smiled at Yang Tai: "Everyone eats the court and serves the country wholeheartedly." Lord Yang's kindness was appreciated in his heart, but he was tired from the boat and car, and he couldn't raise any interest, and I hope Lord Yang will not be surprised. ”

Yang Tai's face relaxed, and he said in a loud voice: "What did the adults say?" It is the last general's arrangement that is improper, and he should be punished with three cups. Lord Xiao, let's not get drunk today! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"That Xiao Tang really said that?" Xue Kewen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what Yang Tai said.

After the banquet was over, Yang Tai carefully sent Xiao Tang and the others to the post house, and hurried to report Xiao Tang's reaction to Xue Kewen, and he said worriedly: "That guy later said that he just didn't dare to break the official law system of the imperial court, and he had no intention of brushing off the good intentions of the last general." It's just that he and his subordinates have benefited from us, and the general always feels ..... I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Xue Kewen sneered disdainfully and said: "If you want to play in the officialdom, you have to make a fortune in a sedan chair for everyone, and if you violate the taboo of state officials in private, it will naturally be pushed by everyone." He wants to pretend to be a decent gentleman, isn't it ridiculous! Who is the little lady who walked with him who was born as beautiful as a flower, but whose relationship with that guy was unclear? ”

Xue Kewen twisted his beard and thought about it carefully, and said coldly: "But this is also beyond my expectations, I thought that Xiao Tang would be easy to comply, although the current official family is generous, it is not a big deal for the official to sleep with an official prostitute, and we will not arrest him as a handle to impeach him." But if Xiao Tang is willing to accept our benefits, everyone will be fine, and we don't have to be too wary of him. ”

Yang Tai was still uneasy in his heart, and he stammered: "It's a shame.... If Xiao Tang intends to be powerful in the army, it will be difficult to hide the affairs of the last general...... So what? ”

Xue Kewen smiled and said, "Don't worry, now we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, how can I abandon you?" If Xiao Tang knows each other, let's show weakness to him and give him more benefits. It's just that now his intentions are unpredictable, and he must be prepared in case he really wants to use you. Hmph, I'm not a vegetarian when I mention prison business! ”

Yang Tai hesitated for a while, and then said, "But what about that Yu Guangting?" Master Xue, this person is not all the way with us, and since he is the prefect of Dengzhou, he knows a little bit about what we do......"

When Xue Kewen heard this, his disdain was even more overflowing, and he snorted coldly: "What kind of thing is he!?" Now that Cai Jing Zhishi has retired, his cousin Yu Shen has no big tree to enjoy the shade, and he is also afraid of sin. This Yu Guangting is just a prefect official, I want to rectify him, isn't he holding a handle? If he is obediently a dumb officer, I can tolerate him for a while. Even if he has the heart to seek death, he can't make any waves! ”

After Xue Kewen scolded, he said to Yang Tai: "You don't have to scruple over there, Xiao Tang, didn't he say that he was afraid of breaking the rules of the court?" Hum...... Then you will go and slap him again according to the 'rules', and see what Xiao Tang says? ”

Early the next morning, Yang Tai and other local officials in Dengzhou City, as well as foreign gentry, came to the post house one by one to visit and pacify the envoys, and all the people who came to visit naturally brought valuable gifts such as gold silk treasures, precious calligraphy and paintings. Xiao Tang followed Wen Huanzhang's proposal, and the comer did not refuse to accept all the valuable gifts one by one.

However, Xiao Tang couldn't help but wonder a little, the first-level administrative and judicial organs of the Great Song Road were divided into the Criminal Prison Division, the Criminal Prison Division, and the Pacification Envoy, and he was not the appeasement envoy to the head of the official Fu Jia on Jingnan Road, and it was understandable that the officials and generals of the military prison and the army were filial to the officials, but why did they behave like this?

When Xiao Tang and Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui and others were together, suddenly Yan Qing came in to report that the commander under Yang Tai's military supervision sent four beautiful maids and four people, and they were all delicate and dignified, intelligent and considerate. It was only said that he saw that Xiao Tang did not have a maid by his side, so he specially bought four maids and gave them to him to live with the waiters.

"Then Yang Tai is really persevering, and he is determined to make friends with Brother Xiao. Just gave some gifts to the maidservants, but it did not break the rules of the court. Yan Qing couldn't help but shake her head and smiled.

Nothing to offer, either treachery or theft. Xiao Tang sneered and said, "The more he is like this, doesn't it mean that he has a ghost in his heart?" If he is beautiful and sits upright, why do you want to talk to me like this? ”

"At such a time of season, being an official in a local state capital is not about how honest and honest you are, and your political achievements are outstanding, but to see if you know how to cater to your intentions, and whether you can behave in the officialdom......" Wen Huanzhang sighed and said leisurely: "Presumably it was yesterday that Yang Tai saw that Lord Xiao pushed away his kindness, and he was even more uncomfortable, so he lowered his posture to cater to the adults."

Not to mention...... I have already told my lord that day, we want the military supervisors of all the states on Jingnan Road to think that the lord is greedy for money and profit, and he is a Shangguan who can buy through the knots, so that he can get mixed with them, and who can move and who can't move at that time; Who can be co-opted and who should be suppressed; Whoever is excusable, who is unforgivable, is naturally clear at a glance, yesterday the adults ...... It should also be the benefit of Yang Tai. ”

Wen Huanzhang's strategy is actually similar to the famous sentence of Xing Ye's classic comedy movie "Jiupin Sesame Official": "This corrupt official wants to be treacherous, and the clean official must be even more treacherous, otherwise how can he deal with those bad guys?!" "If you put on an iron-faced and selfless face from the beginning, those indiscriminate generals will be wary of you and calculating you from the beginning, so that you will fall into the quagmire in the west of Beijing, and it will be difficult to move step by step. But if they are the same kind of people as them, and they collude with each other, their guilt and fatal harm can be seen more clearly.

It's just that yesterday night, according to Wen Huanzhang's meaning, Yang Tai should be laughed at for the official prostitute and singer invited by Xiao Tang and told Yang Tai to be less vigilant, but what kind of thing is this? 1 Prostitute for the sake of national affairs? ...... Xiao Tang still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"But big brother...... What should we do with these handmaidens? Yan Qing blinked slyly and said to Xiao Tang.

What else? I can only accept it, I am trying to paralyze the enemy, and I am reluctant to accept it for the sake of national affairs, and the henchmen around me can understand this......

Of course, there are still people who don't understand, such as Tang Pengxiu, she is really angry.
