Chapter 211 The Peak Protrudes

After Shen Jingda, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, entered the venue from Linlang, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by Linlang, although it was quite a distance away, but Linlang's graceful posture was in full view.

On such an occasion, the sudden appearance of a beautiful woman like Linlang was naturally amazing, and Shen Jing was also attracted by Linlang's splendid demeanor.

He was naturally clear about what happened to Sheng Quan, but when he saw Linlang at this time, he regretted it a little in his heart, and thought secretly: "It's a pity that I have promised the Fang family, otherwise I can make some deals with the Su family." Back then, that old guy didn't know about world affairs, this beautiful girl. Mother may not be ignorant. It seems that he has no intention but actually looks at Linlang's hot figure intentionally, and thinks in his heart: "If you want to know that the Su family has such a beauty, you should talk to the Su family, as long as you can sleep with this girl for one night, what does the name of imperial wine have to do with Shengquan?" ”

He had a dirty idea, the more he looked at Linlang, the more he liked it, and he thought that he had to think of a way to contact Linlang.

There was already an official next to him who whispered: "Lord Shaoqing, everyone is here, do you think you can start?" ”

Shen Jing nodded with full authority, and the head of the household department next to him made a gesture, and the gong sounded, and the sound of the gong was very clear in the crowd.

As soon as the gong sounded, the voices of the people began to fall silent, and in less than a moment, there was silence in all directions.

Only then did the director of the Department of Household Affairs stand up and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, today is the last day of the imperial wine selection, and Shen Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple was appointed by the imperial court to preside over the imperial wine selection. Shen Shaoqing is the holy hand in wine, highly respected, and fair, and the imperial wine selected by Shen Shaoqing must be worthy of the name. He raised his hand and said loudly: "Next, please Shen Shaoqing say a few words for everyone!" ”

Shen Jing slowly got up at this time, and under the gaze of everyone, the official was full of authority, coughed twice, glanced around, and then said slowly: "This official was appointed by the imperial court to preside over the selection of the imperial wine of Xishan Road." You must also remember that five years ago, the official also presided over the selection of the imperial wine of the West Mountain Road, and the selection of the imperial wine gave the official a deep impression. He made a look of emotion on his face, paused, and continued: "The imperial wine selected in the last session is fair and just, and this official has also been praised by the imperial court. ”

As soon as he said this, the few people who knew the inside story showed disdain.

This Shen Jing looks like a dog on the outside, with a dignified posture, but there are so many dirty ways in his stomach, which is unimaginable to many people, and many people are deceived by his appearance of a decent man and gentleman, and think that this person is really fair.

Linlang sat in the seat, her pretty face was calm, but there was a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and Fang Zhenghao, who was sitting next to her, leaned back on the chair and glanced at Linlang with a smug expression.

I saw Shen Jing with one hand behind his back, still talking: "You naturally remember that the name of the last imperial wine was won by Xinzhou Miaocaotang, and Miaocaotang's Chiba Red is also very popular in the court. But in the past five years, in the past five years, the wineries on Xishan Road have been thriving, and their own fine wines have appeared. Five years ago, the name of the wine, and this selection will have nothing to do with this selection, what the official has to do is only with a conscience, with a loyalty to the court, impartially select the best wine from it to the court, whether you won the wine last time, or the name of Sun Mountain, this time the wine evaluation, will not be based on the last time. ”

He was righteous and strict, foaming at the mouth, but he really showed a bit of an impartial attitude, and suddenly some people around him shouted hello.

In the crowd of onlookers on the wooden fence, a purple-clothed boy sneered: "I can't see it, he is born with a pair of sharp teeth...... He looked cold, with a look of annoyance in his eyes.

Beside him stood an old man in a gray robe, wearing a square hat, caressing his beard, and not speaking.

Around these two people, there are also several strong men, the crowd is very crowded, but these men are like a copper wall made of steel, protecting the old and the young in the middle, and the people around are not crowded, but at this time, everyone's eyes are in the field, and no one pays attention to this group of people.

Shen Jing glanced at the four major wineries on the opposite side and said with a smile: "After a few days, in the end, these four wineries are recognized as the four famous wines of Xishan Road, but the official has heard of the reputation of these four wineries. ”

At this time, the four major proprietors also got up and saluted Shen Jing at the same time.

Shen Jing nodded with a smile, his eyes fell on Linlang, and then he glanced at Fang Zhenghao again, and Fang Zhenghao showed a humble smile on his face.

"Wine on the four major breweries!" The head of the household department shouted.

At present, the four major owners each asked their subordinates to send the wine jar up, but Fang Zhenghao and Linlang did not send the wine jar they brought, and it was still the usual wine jar.

The four wine jars were placed on the table, and they were all opened, Shen Jing stepped forward with his hands behind his back, and someone had already poured out a bowl of wine in each of the four jars.

Shen Jing first sniffed the aroma of wine, and then took a sip of each cup, and at this time, he suddenly saw Qi Maofang's Chen Dongjia get up and arched his hand: "Lord Shaoqing, Chen Zhu, the grass man Qi Maofang's owner, has a word of respect!" ”

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Chen Zhu.

Shen Jing frowned, folded his hands, and asked, "What does the Chen Dong family have to say?" ”

Chen Zhu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Linlang, and finally said: "My lord, the grass people have been running a wine shop for decades, and they have been immersed in the wine shop for many years, so they still know a lot about the wine industry!" ”

Shen Jing nodded, and for a while he didn't know what Chen Zhu's intentions were.

Chen Zhu arched his hand around, and finally said: "Everyone, Qi Maofang can enter the ranks of the four famous masters, and the old man is already very satisfied, but it can also be seen that the eyes of the wine masters are accurate." It's just that although I, Qi Maofang, have good wine, I also have self-knowledge, but this time Qi Maofang didn't dare to compete for the name of imperial wine. ”

As soon as his words fell, there was an uproar all around.

Chen Zhu's words seem to have retreated at the last moment, and when he came to this point, he no longer walked down and took the initiative to show weakness, which made people talk about it for a while.

The nerves also showed a strange color, and he frowned and asked, "Chen Dongjia, what do you mean, this official still doesn't understand!" ”

Chen Zhu said: "Don't hide it, if it is compared with other wineries, I Qi Maofang has no fear. But this time He Shengquan has entered the top four, and there is still a gap between the grass people and He Shengquan, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and the grass people want to be a Junjie this time. ”

Linlang was also quite surprised, she looked at Chen Zhu, but saw that Chen Zhu was also looking at herself, and the eyes of Qi Maofang's old boss showed a meaningful color.

Qi Maofang ranked among the top four, and naturally it was already an excellent wine, but at this time, he admitted in public that he was inferior to Heshengquan, and when there was an uproar around, it also made people instantly feel the strength of Heshengquan.

In the crowd, the purple-clothed boy frowned and said, "This is really rare." The war is coming, how could this Qi Maofang take the initiative to say such words that will make others want to destroy his prestige? ”

The old man next to him shook his head with a smile and said: "This is the method of retreating, and this Qi Maofang's Chen Dongjia is the real master." ”

The boy in purple was very surprised, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, how do you say this?" ”

This pair of young and old is naturally Xu Congyang, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and a scholar in front of the palace, and Wang Yingren of Qi.

After Xu Congyang returned yesterday, he discussed business with Qiao Mingtang, and then had to go to see King Qi, but King Qi kept waiting for Xu Congyang to come back, according to Sun Desheng's proposal, it was to tell Luo Shiheng and his son fiercely.

Sun Desheng personally testified and revealed Luo Ding's evil deeds to Xu Congyang, Xu Congyang was upright, hearing Sun Desheng's report, and adding oil and vinegar to Yingren on the side, he was really angry and angry for a while, and he wanted to immediately attract Luo Shiheng to question, and even prepared to impeach Luo Shiheng with a bullet.

But after all, he is an old minister in the court, and he acts cautiously, although what Sun Desheng said seems to be true, but after all, it involves local officials, and if he only listens to one side of the word and goes up, it seems too hasty and reckless.

He thought about it again and again, and finally decided that he would personally disguise himself and walk out of the line today, whether Luo Ding was evil everywhere, as long as he asked casually on the street, he would be able to know the end.

Where is Yingren willing to miss this opportunity, he must follow, Xu Congyang is actually willing to see Yingren more of the world and see more of the living conditions of the people, but he is also happy to agree.

The master and apprentice were dressed in disguise, and the gods and guards were also disguised as ordinary people, either openly or secretly following and protecting, today the master and apprentice walked around the city and secretly inquired about Luo Ding's personality.

Luo Ding can be said to be a bully in Yunshan City, and if he wants to inquire about his crimes, it is an easy matter, Xu Congyang has only been around for a long time, and he already knows it.

Walking around the city, seeing the flow of carriages and horses and people gathering in Xicheng, I finally remembered that today was the last day of the imperial wine selection, although Xu Congyang was reluctant to come to this crowded place, but Yingren had the heart to come and take a look.

The last time Chu Huan took him to the restaurant to drink, he tasted Chiba Red and also tasted bamboo sake, and the two kinds of wine were judged, and he wanted to find Shen Jing to inquire about it.

It's just that later because of Luo Ding's matter, he almost forgot about the imperial wine, but today he suddenly remembered it, so he wanted to see if Shen Jing would bend the law for personal gain, and tried his best to persuade Xu Congyang to come and take a look.

After all, Xu Congyang is also a good drinker, seeing that King Qi is prosperous, it is not easy to splash him with cold water, but the group also came here, but they did not reveal their identities, they just pretended to be ordinary people and watched from the side.

At this moment, Chen Zhu suddenly said these words, which made Yingren very curious, and heard Xu Congyang praise Chen Zhu for being a shrewd person, and he was even more puzzled, but Xu Congyang had already smiled and said softly: "Qi Maofang must know that he will never be able to win the name of imperial wine, and he does this because he has the intention to help Sheng Quan...... In fact, in the final analysis, they are still helping them Qi Maofang himself! ”

Ying Renwu didn't understand the trick, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, what did you say...... Students really don't understand! ”
