Chapter 741: The Murder Banquet (1)

Li Zhihe, Xu Wei, Ge Huaimin and others happily went, firstly, to give face to this new Fuzun lord, and secondly, to celebrate that Su Jin was finally successfully pulled into the water.

But despite this, Li Zhihe still guarded the restaurant in advance, which was already Li Zhihe's habit; It's not that I doubt what will happen to Su Jin, in fact, Su Jin didn't arrange a single soldier in the entire Moon Picking Building, only a few of his own servants were left and right, and there were more than a dozen servants who sent wine back and forth.

The breeze on the roof of the moon is blowing, after a day of heat, the pavilion on the roof is the most suitable for enjoying the cool night drink, Su Jin arranged it a circle of red lanterns on the railing on the roof, it looks jubilant, the dishes on the banquet are not only made by the moon building, but also Su Jin brought all kinds of food from the capital, and even the dining utensils are several sets of silver tableware brought by Su Jin himself, which are bright and eye-catching in the candlelight.

Su Jin was dressed in civilian clothes and stood at the staircase to greet everyone's arrival, smiling with a smile, and the officials, no matter how big or small, were politely invited, looking very well-behaved.

The more Su Jin is like this, the more the officials in Weizhou City have a sense of superiority, not to mention Li Zhi and Xu Wei and others, even the subordinate Cang Si and other minor officials also have deep contempt for Su Jin, Su Jin and Li Zhihe reached an agreement, and they have heard of it in private, what kind of champion, what prefect, in front of money is just a pure pug.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Su Jin got up and bowed his hands and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official has been in Weizhou for less than ten days, and I am not very grateful to you for taking care of you in the past few days; I am an official for the first time, and my words and actions are a little biased, and it is rare that you adults do not care, and I am even more grateful; I am here to invite you today, firstly, to thank you for your care, and secondly, to apologize to General Li Jianjun Ge and others. ”

Li Zhihe laughed and said: "Why did Master Su say this, since we came to Weizhou, we are a person begging for food in a pot, and some small frictions and misunderstandings between each other are inevitable, this is like a husband and wife quarreling, the bedside fight and the bed are all where the feud comes from?" ”

Everyone said yes, and even praised Li Jianjun for his broad arms regardless of his previous suspicions, Su Jin seemed to be extremely moved, and sighed repeatedly: "Compared with Li Jianjun, my way is far worse, I don't have anything to say, the words are in the wine, we will not return today." ”

Li Zhihe said: "It's good to have fun, it's not necessary to get drunk, there seems to be a change in the western thieves recently, this afternoon the scouts reported, it seems that most of the western thieves are making transfers north of the Zhenrong army, although there are still nearly seventy miles away from Weizhou, but they have to be guarded against." ”

Ge Huaimin waved his hand and said: "Li Jianjun is too worried, the western thief is now a grasshopper after the autumn and can't get up, it's rare to have a treat in the Su Governor's Mansion today, why do you say these bad words, today you have to get drunk." ”

Li Zhihe's face was slightly embarrassed, there was indeed a vision of a large-scale assembly and transfer of the Western Xia army, but he was not really worried about this matter, he was afraid that there would be many people tonight, and once he ate and drank nonsense, many secrets would inevitably spread, which would easily cause adverse effects; Su Jin's treat tonight is naturally invited by Weizhou officials, no matter how big or small, but there are many wandering people who are not involved in the matter, most of these people are small officials of non-critical departments, and they can't pull them into the water at all, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and it is better not to let these people know the secret of making money.

Ge Huaimin didn't think about it so much, he was originally a Qiu Ba. is coarse, he was also coerced into the water by Li Zhihe, and he has never had any good ideas, but his position is important, and he must be pulled in; Since he said so, Li Zhihe couldn't openly refute his face.

Su Jin laughed and said: "What General Ge said is that the western thieves are not afraid, with Li Jianjun and General Ge in charge, how can I withstand Weizhou?" Today is not drunk, come and come to raise your glass, the beautiful scenery is now, it is the time to drink and have fun. ”

Everyone raised their glasses and toasted the wine, and one by one picked up the silver chopsticks and started moving; Li Zhihe said with a smile: "Master Su is also very exquisite, and he actually makes so many silver tableware, which is very exquisite." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "I won't tell you, how can I have the money to get this thing, this is all the stuff of the insider's dowry, I wanted to change the money and spend, but the insider is not allowed, and I am not willing to put it there just to look at me, this is not to take this opportunity to take it out for the adults to use, but to support some faΓ§ade; However, this silver chopsticks and silver plate have some functions, if there are poisonous substances in the dishes and drinks, it is easy to find out, but it is useless here. ”

Li Zhihe chewed the meaning of Su Jin's words, this person seemed to be still fine, and deliberately said such words to let himself and others eat and drink with confidence, which seemed to be the meaning of trying his best to repair.

Ge Huaimin drank a few glasses of wine and ate a few mouthfuls of food, and his mouth clicked continuously, as if he was dissatisfied; Su Jin smiled and said, "General Ge is not satisfied with the dishes?" ”

Ge Huaimin muttered, "It's okay, it's just that my favorite food is missing." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "I know what General Ge likes to eat, so I will naturally serve it later, and I will bear with it for a while." ”

Ge Huaimin said happily: "Do you also prepare a monkey brain?" ”

Su Jin smiled mysteriously and said: "It's not just a monkey brain, but the thing that replenishes the brain is not necessarily just a monkey brain." ”

Ge Huaimin was full of expectations, and Xu Wei teased on the side: "Lord Su really didn't say anything to General Ge, and he specially gave General Ge a meal." ”

Ge Huaimin was proud, and Su Jin said with a smile: "Xu Tongju seems to have a sour taste, don't worry, I have prepared a separate dish for you today, eat wine and vegetables first, and it's not too late to enjoy those things as a delicious snack after cooking." ”

Xu Wei and Li Zhihe glanced at each other, and secretly praised in their hearts that Su Jin had arrived home, and he did have a set of flattering people, no wonder the Yan family woman who could be fooled was made belly bigger by him, and it seemed that he had put a lot of effort into dealing with that woman.

Su Jin diligently persuaded wine, wine and delicacies, and it was not easy to refute Su Jin's face, and when he drank for nearly two watches, everyone was red and thick-necked, and some officials began to break out with their tongues and began to shout and shout fist orders, and some people were drunk and twisted and learned to sing the Qinglou song, which made everyone laugh and laugh.

Su Jin picked up a jar of wine, took a bowl, and walked towards the fifty or sixty guards brought by Li Zhi and Ge Huaimin who were standing outside to guard and guard, these people were Li Zhihe and the others' personal guards, responsible for protecting the safety of Shangguan, so no matter where Li Zhi and Ge Huaimin went, they would take these guards with them.

"Brothers, you have been standing here for most of the night, your legs are tired and your stomach is hungry, come and come, and everyone will drink a bowl of wine to relieve fatigue and refresh yourself." Su Jin pretended to have a bald tongue and his body swayed.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we are responsible for protecting the Prison Commander and the Commander, and we are not allowed to drink alcohol." A captain of the guard stepped forward and saluted.

Su Jin sank his face and said, "What? Don't you give face to this house? Your family Li Jianjun and Commander Ge both gave me face, but you didn't give it. ”

The captain of the guard hurriedly said: "My lord is angry, he really has a duty to drink, and he doesn't dare to drink." ”

Su Jin pointed at him and asked, "What's your name?" But a man who is faithful to his duties, and I want to remember you. ”

The captain of the guard had no choice but to report his name, and he was extremely depressed, this lord of the palace did not want to remember himself and praise himself, he was afraid that he would hate himself, but the captain of the guard was not afraid, he was the head of the army, and there were Li Jianjun and Commander Ge on the top, and this prefect was afraid that he could not do anything about himself.

Su Jin returned to his seat with an unhappy face, Li Zhihe raised his glass to toast, Su Jin waved his hand and said, "If you don't drink it, you will be extremely disappointed." ”

Li Zhihe was stunned and said, "What's wrong?" Who has offended our lord? ”

Su Jin sighed: "I only know now what my status is in Weizhou City, I, Su Jin, have a heart for you, but you are estranged from me, which is really depressing." ”

Li Zhihe said: "How do you say this? Today, everyone gathers, all colleagues eat and drink, and praise you for your thoughtfulness, why don't you put your heart into your heart? ”

Su Jin pointed to the group of guards outside and said: "I am kind and kind to the brothers, you are really an errand, I took the wine and wanted to give them something to drink to relieve their fatigue, who would have expected to be beaten down by a guy named Wang Baochang, what is the duty of protecting the prison army, drinking and making mistakes, and it is clear that he will not give face to the house." ”

Li Zhihe smiled dumbly: "Are you unhappy just because of a personal guard?" Lord Su, didn't I say you, you still don't have a deep mouth, you are the prefect, they are a little guard, can you do it? I didn't have an identity. ”

Su Jin sneered: "Is Li Jianjun teaching this a lesson?" It's not like I'm going to have trouble with the guards, but what do you think if you toast my guards and they don't give you face? ”

Li Zhihe smiled: "I won't be angry. ”

Su Jin cut and said: "It's a nice word, you will definitely think that this is my Su Jin deliberately confessed to refute your face, right?" ”

Li Zhihe suddenly realized, it turned out that Su Jin was not angry with the guard, but with himself, he thought that he had secretly explained that the guard didn't have to deal with the prefect, so he said something like not caring for each other.

Li Zhihe was a little angry, but looking at Su Jin's red-eared and red-eyed dull looks, it was obvious that he had drunk a little, and it seemed that he was angry after drinking, and he couldn't take it seriously.

However, Li Zhihe planned to talk to Su Jin about asking the third division to increase the allocation of materials and food after the banquet was dispersed, Su Jin was not happy, and it was not easy to speak later, so he laughed and said: "I should be a big deal, so let's ask that Wang Baochang to apologize to you, punish him heavily, and give you a vent." ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "There's no need to punish you, if I toast them and don't drink it, I won't give face, I'm just a good face." ”

Li Zhihe smiled: "Then what do you say?" ”

Su Jin said: "Each person will be fined a jar of wine." ”

Li Zhihe was stunned and said, "An altar? Isn't that about getting drunk? ”

Su Jin said: "If you are drunk, you will be drunk, so what?" I asked some of my brothers to drink with them, and each of them had one jar, and each of my brothers had two jars, and it was all done. ”

Xu Wei smiled on the side: "Master Su is drunk, how can there be such a fight." ”

Su Jin glared at him and said, "You're just drunk, I'm not drunk, what's wrong with watching people fight and make a scene?" ”

Li Zhihe said with a smile: "I look at three bowls per person, you are willing to drink, I am reluctant to be a soldier, I am really drunk like mud, and I will teach people to gossip when I go back to the barracks." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Okay, according to the idea of the prison army, three bowls per person and one drop are not too much, and my subordinates will drink six bowls each." ”

Li Zhihe and Xu Wei smiled bitterly, Ge Huaimin happily followed, Su Jin loudly beckoned people to go downstairs to get wine, and after a while, more than a dozen servants came up with more than 20 jars of wine, and a large bowl of water was lined up on the ground.

Su Jin picked up a jar of wine, patted open the mud seal, drank a big sip on the jar first, and praised: "Good wine!" Then he poured the wine into the bowl with the wine jar and poured ink into it.
