Chapter 728: Troubled City (4)

That night, Xu Wei really sent someone to invite Su Jin to the banquet, the banquet was set up in a restaurant called Jieyuelou on the Hengjie north of the mansion, there were not many restaurants in Weizhou City, there were only seven or eight in total, and most of them were ordinary restaurants, because of the lack of ingredients, the price was also frighteningly expensive, although there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, but the really rich people did not go to these ordinary restaurants to eat, and ordinary people had no money to go to the restaurant, so few could survive the operation.

However, this moon picking building is different, Su Jin was a little surprised as soon as he entered this imposing restaurant, looking at the layout and furnishings inside, although it is not as exquisite as the luxury restaurant in the bustling city, but it is also a red light and green steps carved beams and jade pillars, quite elegant and elegant; It has to be said that it is a miracle that there can be such a luxury restaurant in the dilapidated city of Weizhou.

The people who stood at the door to greet led Su Jin up the stairs, walked one floor after another, and went straight up to five floors, and came to a hall at the top, where a sumptuous banquet had already been placed, and several handsome handmaidens stood aside with wine jugs.

Su Jin was surprised: "The most luxurious restaurant in Bianliang City is only four floors, and this building is actually five stories high, which is really surprising." ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "That's not it, Lord Fuzun knows the reason why this restaurant is called the Moon Picking Building, being in the northwest, the closest to the sky at night, the stars are dotted with bright moons in the sky, and being in this building seems to be able to reach out to catch the moon, isn't it the Moon Picking Building?" ”

Su Jin looked up, today is the fifteenth day of July, sure enough, there is a round of jade rabbits hanging above his head, like a golden swaying large disc seems to be within reach, this place is already a plateau, the air is pure and thin, and it seems that the whole moon is delicate, and it feels quite weird.

"Sure enough, it is a good name to reach out and hold the moon, the ancients said, 'The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the hands can pick the stars, and they dare not speak loudly, for fear of frightening the people in the sky;' Today, the official has somewhat comprehended this poetry, and we will bite our ears face-to-face when we drink and talk later, but we can't startle the dream of the fairy of the Moon Palace. Hehe......! ”

"Okay, Lord Fuzun is worthy of being the champion of today's department, his export is full of chapters and his words are funny, if you don't have real talent and real learning, how can you be witty, admire and admire." Xu Wei lost no time in patting the horse, and all the officials echoed and admired.

Everyone generally worships Su Jin as the upper seat, and when Su Jin sits down, everyone sits down.

Su Jin looked at the table full of delicacies, and pretended to be disgusted: "You guys are so expensive, you really shouldn't be, when you have your mind, why bother to come here for a banquet, I'm afraid the dishes in this restaurant are very expensive." ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Lord Fuzun said that, my lord can come to Weizhou, it is the blessing of my colleagues and others, there has never been a champion Lang to come to the northwest to be an official, you are the first, how can we not entertain Lord Fuzun well." ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "It seems that I Su Jin has no ability, as the champion, but he went to the northwest to be an official, but everyone who has the ability to stay in the capital or the prosperous state capital in the south to become an official, hey, it's very depressing to think about." ”

Xu Wei didn't expect his words to make Su Jin have a misunderstanding, the sycophants were not accurate enough, and it seemed that there was indeed a suspicion of sarcasm Su Jin had no way, and he hurriedly explained: "Lord Fuzun misunderstood, and Zhuangyuanlang has never directly awarded the position of Sipin Prefect, Lord Fuzun is the Sipin Prefect as soon as he becomes an official, how many people are envious, besides, although our Weizhou is a small city, but it is a strategic place, the emperor sent an adult to guard it, it is a serious meaning, and the adult should be happy." ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "Sure enough, listening to you say this, it is indeed a little special, it seems that the emperor is still good to me." ”

Everyone hurriedly smiled and agreed: "That's not it, the emperor is a great lord of the palace." ”

Xu Wei stretched out his hand to beckon the waiting maid to come forward and pour wine, and Su Jin pointed to the two empty seats beside him and asked, "Is anyone else coming?" How did the two seats be empty? ”

Xu Wei blinked and said mysteriously: "Lord Fuzun, these two positions are reserved for General Ge Huaimin, the commander of the Weizhou soldiers and horses, and Li Zhihe, the commander of the Jingyuan Road Supervision Army, they are late, and when the meeting comes, the Lord will punish them for drinking." ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Then how to make the two adults busy with military affairs, it is also their duty to be late." ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Weekdays are military affairs, today is not military affairs, I heard that Lord Fuzun is here tonight, saying that he is going to get some good food for adults, but I don't know why he hasn't arrived yet." ”

Su Jin understands that one of these two people is the commander of the soldiers and horses deployed in Weizhou, and the other is the soldiers and horses of the entire Jingyuan Road sent by the imperial court, the former holds the power of 20,000 soldiers and horses in Weizhou, and the latter is the supervisor of nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Jingyuan Road.

Before the two arrived, the banquet naturally couldn't start for the time being, Xu Wei taught people to urge, and on the other hand, he talked to Su Jin in a mixed manner, his eyes revolved around Su Jin's face, wanting to see if Su Jin would be unhappy if he was neglected by Ge Huaimin and Li Zhihe.

Su Jin naturally didn't show it at all, just chatted and laughed with everyone, without showing any impatience.

Half an hour passed, and the officials were anxious, but Su Jin was still chatting and drinking tea with great interest, and did not ask why Ge Huaimin did not arrive, why Lord Li Zhihe did not arrive, and when would the banquet be held.

Xu Wei confessed his guilt and pretended to get up to go to the toilet, quietly went down the stairs to the door of a private room on the fourth floor, knocked lightly on the door, and there was a humane inside: "Who is it?" ”

Xu Wei said in a low voice: "The two adults are the subordinate Xu Wei. ”

"Come in."

Xu Wei pushed the door in, and there was a fat and a thin two people lying on their sides on the cool collapse, and a woman beside them was helping to beat their legs and rub their shoulders, and both of them were fascinated and almost fell asleep.

"Hello two adults." Xu Wei said.

"Hmm...... Did that kid jump in a hurry? The chubby man asked in a thin voice.

This person is Li Zhihe, the supervisor of Jingyuan Road, the eunuchs of this dynasty are all eunuchs sent out by the palace, and they are sent to various roads to act as the eyes and ears of the emperor when they hang a military position in the military department, Li Zhihe is of course also a eunuch who does not have the big gun below, so he seems to be neither male nor female.

"Well, that's not true, the lower officials don't seem to be in a hurry at all."

"Oh? This kid is so angry, he is not angry at us for being so neglected. Li Zhihe was a little surprised.

Ge Huaimin, who was thin and black-faced and big-handed, said with his eyes half-open: "What's so strange about this, how dare he show it when he is angry, in this Weizhou City, what is Zhizhou?" Without us to help him defend the city, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive a day, and he will be captured by the western thieves and taken prisoner. ”

Li Zhihe smiled: "Having said that, he always knows that the state is in charge of government affairs, and has the right to defend the city and transfer troops, although he has no subordinate relationship with us, he is always a big member, and he can be so calm, it seems that he is a character." ”

Ge Huaimin waved his hand and said: "A seventeen-year-old doll, a half-grown child who has just been weaned, what kind of city can he have, Wang Lu Envoy was polite to us when he was there, what is his milky and dry boy?" ”

Xu Wei smiled and said: "What the two adults said is true, but it's enough to dry for so long, I think the two adults still go out to show their faces, after all, he will still be the prefect of Weizhou in the future, and it will be difficult to get along if he is too stiff, and let's still win him over, and our business will be a trouble if he is targeted." ”

"He dares! Does he have ten lives? Yes, as long as Lao Tzu's business is ruined, Lao Tzu will dare to kill him ......ten times" Ge Huaimin sat up and scared the woman beside him who helped him pinch his feet.

Li Zhihe hurriedly said: "Lao Ge, don't be bored for a while, it's better not to have a conflict if you can, it's better not to have a conflict, it's the truth to make money with anger, we and the West Thief are currently safe, it seems that this battle may not be fought again soon, take advantage of the current time to get more oil and water, in the future, the two adults will return to Beijing to take up another high position, have money in hand, and dredge up the relationship; You don't know the situation, who is not stuffy and rich now, if this Su Jin is acquainted, let's take him to share, if he doesn't know each other, it's not too late to make a calculation. ”

Xu Wei hurriedly echoed: "Yes, what Master Li said is all heart-wrenching, and he is indeed reasonable." ”

Ge Huaimin rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, Lao Tzu got on the thief ship of the two of you anyway, what's up to you, let's go meet that little boy now, but today I want to invite him to eat something delicious, if he doesn't eat, he won't give me face, then Lao Tzu will give him a good look." ”

Li Zhihe said with a smile: "What you say is what you say, it's okay to give this kid a dismount." ”

The three of them went out of the room, Xu Wei went up first, and Ge Huaimin ordered the soldiers around him to carry a large iron cage covered with black cloth and follow Li Zhihe upstairs.
