Honglu Pavilion, Zeng Qi and the envoy have been drinking for a day and a night, the two of them are still talking and laughing, you come and go, and the palace people are constantly sending all kinds of wine.

The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and they had already drunk ten jars of spirits, Xu Hao and Li Jinglong couldn't help but look at each other in shock, although they didn't keep pouring wine, they were talking a lot of the time, and they would raise their glasses when the interest came, but the marathon-like time was too scary, right?

Zhu Yong got up again and ran out and rushed to the toilet, squatting and vomiting, his face was pale and terrifying. Li Jinglong said shockingly: "He is the first to drink among our brothers, and even he is far from being an opponent, are these two still people?" ”

Xu Hao said convincingly: "I have to drink for a day to see this posture, but the opponent will meet a good talent in chess, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a third massive person in this world." ”

Originally, the brothers proposed to win by tricks, such as secretly replacing the wine with white water or drinking decanting soup or something, but Xu Hao felt that it was not interesting, and because he felt their arrogance, drinking is not as good as others, and it is better to know that there is a truth outside the sky.

I don't want Zeng Qi to be a strange person, after drinking so much wine, his face is not white or red, his expression is sober and comfortable, and he speaks exactly the same as normal, and he has a bit of a sword fairy's fluttering temperament.

The envoy's face became redder and redder the more he drank, sweating profusely, and shouting vigorously, probably to expel the alcohol from his body. Zhu Yong is a good man who turns pale the more he drinks, and he can overwhelm a group of people at every party, but this time he obviously lost.

"If you have a chance, you must test the huge amount of Master Zeng." Li Jinglong said in a speech.

It was inconvenient to disturb them, Li Jinglong took Xu Hao to the most famous Eight Immortals Drunken Restaurant in the capital, a decades-old signboard.

At this time, it was already dusk, the four drinkers came one after another, the scattered seats downstairs were crowded eighty percent full, the shopkeeper shuttled between the tables, and the guests on the table talked and laughed noisily, and it was very lively.

The two went straight up to the third floor. I found a secluded seat by the window, and suddenly a man came over and arched his hand: "Under the door of the prefect of Suzhou, I saw that the two masters were extraordinary, and I wanted to ask for something." ”

Li Jinglong's face darkened, the guards were all downstairs, and he said earlier that he was more comfortable not to bring anyone, which is good, as soon as he came up, someone disturbed him, what if he was a villain?

"It's fine." Xu Hao didn't care. Live in fear all day long, what's the fun in this life? Directly asked, "Say it." ”

The doorman didn't realize that he was almost in trouble, so he thanked him and said: "It's just a private matter in the house, because my young lady recently heard about the grand event of the Gongyuan in the capital and secretly came to play, and there has been no news for more than ten days." My lord sent a small one to listen around and look for him, and he was so anxious that his wife cried all day long, and he didn't eat tea and dinner. I miss out on illness. Something is helpless, and I want to bother the two masters to help find each other, or if there is an accident, it will be the life of the young lady, or I will know her whereabouts in the future. Annoying report learned. ”

Li Jinglong frowned and said: "It's not difficult, but your young lady is too willful, so she is not afraid of meeting bad people or being seduced by bad people?" Even if you find the name, it's gone. ”

Xu Hao said: "Maybe there is something hidden, otherwise why would a girl's family travel alone?" You don't tell the truth. Don't want us to help. ”

The doorman looked at him, although the two were not very old, but just now they saw a group of slaves downstairs, and their every move was obviously a nobleman of the capital. So he smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the two masters, when the young lady was at home, my lord promised her to the son of the old man Zheng, but the young lady was unwilling, and she quarreled several times to withdraw from the family."

Later, the nephew of my old lady came to the province, and the young lady admired the merry young man of the family, and fell in love with him in private. The young master went to Beijing to visit friends, and the next day the young lady and the maid disappeared together. ”

Li Jinglong said with a smile: "Dare to elope, if it is not difficult to find it in the capital, if you go away and fly high, then you can't help." ”

asked the young lady's appearance, age and name, etc., and sent the guest away, and the two ordered wine and food and talked while drinking. Suddenly, I heard melodious music downstairs, which suppressed the laughter of the guests, and it seemed that a woman was singing.

Getting up and walking over to look down, it was a woman in her thirties, with a waist and limbs, and some ripples in the wind and dust between her eyebrows, singing a little song. Two timid girls beside him, holding musical instruments.

Although he can't see the girl's appearance clearly with his back on his back, looking at the slender back is enough to make people's eyes shine.

Many diners downstairs stopped their voices and looked at them directly, and the woman sang a song, and the whole restaurant was like thunder.

The thin young man clapped his hands vigorously and applauded, the woman's expression was very natural, she raised her hand to collect the sideburns that were scattered under it, and said with a slight smile: "It's ugly, my three sisters make a living by singing, which uncle is willing to help him?" ”

In the face of beautiful women with good colors and arts, there is no shortage of amorous and bold men, who have taken out scattered pieces of silver to reward.

Several southern merchants said attentively: "The little lady is tired of singing, right?" Please sit down and rest, it's time for the two girls to sing, and let's feast our ears. ”

The two girls did not shirk, accompanied each other with pipa, and took turns to sing, Xu Hao couldn't help but be fascinated by it, this is a real singing skill, and a naturally good voice, not to mention that it comes from the mouth of a young girl.

Many guests who didn't pay for it couldn't help but reward with treasure money, and the women thanked them one by one and were ready to lead the girls away.

Li Jinglong shouted loudly: "Please come upstairs and offer a song of twenty taels of silver." ”

The people downstairs heard the voices coming from upstairs, and knew that it was an extraordinary person, and one by one they continued to talk and drink.

The woman looked upstairs and smiled, and replied, "The master has come here to drink, and he should be entertained." ”

Xu Hao frowned slightly, wondering if it was really such a coincidence, looking at the situation just now, these three women came to the Eight Immortals Tower for the first time, was it deliberately arranged?

At this moment the woman twisted her waist and led the girl step by step, lifted the curtain and entered the private seat, and suddenly the previous guest rushed over, knocked over the plates and bowls on the table, and grabbed the wrist of a young girl without hesitation, and exclaimed: "Little slut, you have caused us to be scolded so much that you have broken your legs and feet, and you are at ease here." ”

Xu Hao and Li Jinglong were surprised, and heard someone outside the door shouting: "Slut, tell me quickly, where is the young lady?" ”

The woman was very calm, and stepped forward with a smile and persuaded unhurriedly: "I'm afraid that a few people have recognized the wrong person, and the people who think we sing are all lowly people, this girl is my sister, where did you come from?" ”

The girl said coldly: "I was drunk and recognized the wrong person." Who knows your young lady. ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to break free, and the doorman hurriedly said: "Please two of you are also in charge, this woman is my young lady's maid Cuihe, and she can't be let go." ”

Li Jinglong lowered his face and shouted, "Who are you?" Explain it before leaving. ”

The woman exclaimed, "We are the singers, it is true." ”

Li Jinglong glanced at Xu Hao, and when he saw Xu Hao nodding lightly, he immediately sneered: "It doesn't matter who you are, go to the Terracotta Division first." ”

The guests downstairs thought that they were snatched home by the dignitaries, and they sighed indignantly as they watched the flower-like girl being forcibly taken away.

There are a lot of people watching the excitement on the street. Li Jinglong's family escorted three women to walk in the middle, the doorman followed closely with two family members, and Xu Hao walked at the end.

Suddenly, a handsome young man rushed over, knocked the onlookers to the ground, and shouted: "Damn it, dare to rob a woman in the blue sky." ”

The subordinates of the Li family shouted angrily: "You are so bold, my master is here, get out." ”

The young man looked up to the sky and smiled: "I said that the emperor is here, it turns out to be a master." How can I see me and not worship? ”

Xu Hao suddenly narrowed his eyes, his anger rose, and he secretly said that he was an arrogant man, didn't he plan to be a hero? Good!

This situation and this scene are very similar to the government officials who are instructed by the powerful to act as tigers. bullied a few weak women, and the young man was a hero who saw unevenness on the road.

The doorman looked directly at the young man and exclaimed, "He is a relative of the old lady, and now he and Cuihe are here." The whereabouts of the young lady are clear. ”

The officials of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were patrolling nearby ran over, and Li Jinglong ordered: "Take this guy down and take him to the yamen for interrogation." ”

A group of officials lifted their spirits. rushed forward with his teeth and claws, Xu Hao saw that the young man was very skilled, and he used his hands and feet casually, and beat everyone to the ground.

The people who didn't know the truth applauded, Xu Hao sneered and signaled, and the guards around him walked up to the two of them, and instantly pressed the young man to the ground, and the officials rushed up and took out the iron rope and tied it up.

The doorman hurriedly said: "He is my young master, please raise your hand." ”

Li Jinglong sneered: "It's late! dared to beat people in the capital, and his crime was not small. ”

Xu Hao frowned and asked, "I am the governor Xu Hao, and I will report your name and family history." ”

The young man turned his head coldly and said, "Who am I, don't do your business, I'm here for her." ”

Xu Hao suddenly raised a kick and kicked heavily in the young man's face, and after kicking the young man to the ground, he kicked the young man in the nose again, the blood flowed, and the bridge of his nose collapsed.

The three women ran over with a shout, Xu Hao had no pity for the jade, and kicked them out one by one.

The young man's facial features were distorted, his eyes were vicious, and he regarded Xu Hao as an enemy who killed his father, and roared: "You foolish dog official, what the dog slave says is what?" You listen to one side of the story, and oppress the good. ”

Li Jinglong said angrily: "This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, he is the governor of the palace, you dare to be so presumptuous?" ”

The young man raised his hand to wipe the blood, and laughed: "What a big breath, what a heavenly foot." ”

Li Jinglong was angry and scolded: "I've never seen such an arrogant person, raised by a son of a bitch." ”

The doorman stepped forward and shouted angrily: "You have ungrateful abducted the official lady in the name of visiting relatives, oops! ”

This scene was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and the doorman was slammed on the door by Xu Hao with a punch, squatting on the ground and screaming.

Xu Hao said with a calm face: "This is the capital, you can't tolerate the rampant rats and other rats, and you are unlucky to be in my hands, and you will be imprisoned in the Shuntianfu prison." ”

The young man sneered: "It's up to you? ”

Xu Hao was immediately amused by him, and waved helplessly: "Take it away." ”

The young man said sharply: "My father is loyal to Bo Ruyu, I see that you dare to touch me." ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "I can see that Gong Ru really gave birth to a good son." ”

Li Jinglong sneered: "It turns out that you are the third child of Ru Yongru!" I heard that you and your eldest brother have been in the Qin Palace, no wonder even our brothers don't recognize it, and they don't know what is high and thick, even if you come, it's useless. ”

"Take it away!" Xu Hao waved his hand again, "Give him a lesson this time, save no one in his eyes, and close it for a month." By the way, send those three women to Rufu. ”

The young man was stunned and taken away, and it is estimated that he didn't believe that there were still people in the capital who didn't care about his family.

Li Jinglong said disdainfully: "Recently, there have been too many children of ministers who are similar to arrogance and lawlessness, and there are four or five cases of fighting and brawling every day. ”

Xu Hao has nothing to do, can he still send someone to see one and teach another? It can only be said that with the founding of the country for nearly 40 years, a new elite class has almost been formed, and in another 180 years, sharp and irreconcilable class contradictions will also appear.

Xu Hao said in a low voice: "You let the woman he knows visit the prison at night, record the conversation, and then find out the whereabouts of that young lady through guòmaid and guò maid to Kuài." ”

Li Jinglongqi said: "Why is this? ”

Xu Hao explained: "I have to understand the cause and effect of this matter first, it is impossible for the maid to come out to sing for no reason, there must be another hidden secret, even if the young lady is inconvenient to show her face, it is not safe to live alone in the capital now, and find out the person immediately." If you are angry, you can't harm the innocent. ”

"I see." Li Jinglong agreed on the surface, but he was quite disappreciative in his heart, other people's lives and deaths are none of his business? With Ru Yong's arrogant and unpopular virtue just now, it would be good for his sweetheart to fall into the dust.

Xu Hao glanced at him, and then explained the matter to his own people, Li Jinglong didn't treat human life as human life for a day or two, otherwise he wouldn't have been affected by his younger brother Li Zengzhi, and he almost didn't even save his life, in the end, this is a real magnate.

Previously, Ru Yong dared to stand up alone, there were no slaves around him, and he could see that he was a person who dared to act, and maybe he was a little chivalrous, but he was too young to know the depth of the world, and he relied on his family background and his eyes were empty, so Xu Hao was not polite to him.

Back then, his son Ru Yu was the first to come to surrender with Li Jinglong, and he didn't dare to take a breath when he saw Zhu Di's atmosphere, which was an important minister who was deeply appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Although groveling is a derogatory term, people have to bow their heads when they should bow their heads, don't think that you are the eldest and your second child, and you will regret it only when you suffer a big loss.

Ru Yu was later named a loyal uncle, crowned the crown prince Taibao, and served as a military secretary for two years, and the eldest son Ru Jian was selected as the guest of honor of the county lord of Chang'an, the governor of Qin.

In this way, Ru Yu was ordered to go to Chang'an to build his daughter-in-law's county lord's mansion, which was a disguised publicly-funded tour, and by the way, he vacated the position of the secretary of the military department, and it seemed that he had not returned to Beijing yet, and it was time to retire when he came back.

To say that Ru Yu's resume is indeed very prominent, it is no wonder that he raised such a proud son, Zhu Yuanzhang personally called Ru Yu a wise man and a gentleman, and rewarded the iron scroll Danshu of "one person at home and abroad, the mainstay", exempting him from paying taxes on his Tiantang garden.

In other words, this guy can be exonerated even if he kills someone, no wonder he is so unscrupulous.

Xu Hao suddenly smiled brightly, he also has Danshu iron coupons, and the number of times he has avoided death can be called the first in the Ming Dynasty, even if this thing actually doesn't work at all. (To be continued......)
