Song Mingyue

Chapter 202
In Luoyang City, the lights are just on.

Zuixianlou, the largest restaurant in Luoyang City, is brightly lit, laughter and crisp singing float in the night sky, and can be faintly heard for hundreds of meters around.

Eighteen tables of eight immortals were set up in the hall.There are a variety of dishes on the table, and fresh melons and fruits are piled up like a mountain. The cooks are carrying large plates back and forth to serve the dishes, and they are all sweating profusely.

Especially on the main table, there are delicacies from mountains and seas, delicacies and delicacies. The wine is 30-year-old daughter red, and the crabs are hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake, with green back, white belly, yellow hair and golden claws.

In addition to delicious food, there are dozens of singing girls singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is melodious and lively.

Zhao Hao and Xu Churen naturally sat at the main table, accompanied by Du Gongcai and other high-ranking officials from Northwest Beijing Road.During the banquet, Xu Churen was worried about the disaster victims, but he couldn't swallow the delicious food on the table. As soon as the banquet started, he said, "The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the road is frozen to death", which made everyone's expressions change. If Zhao Hao was not present, it is estimated that this It is possible for a scholar of Wenguandian to rise up.

Zhao Hao, on the other hand, didn't take it seriously. He talked and laughed happily, with high spirits, and even ordered a few tunes impromptu.The singing girls in the hall saw that this young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, he was born with a good-looking talent, personable, and his status was very high. Qingyin, one after another beautiful shadows, all did their best, only for Mr. Bo Na to smile.

No one noticed that behind the screen in the left corner of the hall, a pair of wonderful eyes flickered, only looked up and down on Zhao Hao, and left after a long time.

The officials were originally afraid that the imperial envoy would be successful in his youth, and he was also a nobleman, so they could not look down on them, but now that Zhao Hao was so active, they let down their guard a little bit, and came forward to toast one after another. The daughter's popularity is not high , Zhao Hao also did not refuse anyone who came, and drank very happily, which made everyone feel more at ease.

Just when everyone was drinking and drinking, Du Gongcai excused his stomach tension, left the main table, and went to the "Xueyin" (toilet) accompanied by his servants. Immediately after that, another official left the table in the hall and followed Du Gongcai and go.

Xueyin in the Song Dynasty was originally cleaner and more hygienic than the toilets of previous dynasties, and had the reputation of "the road is full of flowers", and the toilets of big restaurants like Zuixianlou were even more clean.

After Duke Du entered the toilet, several slaves immediately guarded the door, and then an official in his early thirties, wearing a green official robe, also came over. After the servants put the official in, they blocked the door completely stand up.

Inside the snowy cave, sandalwood was wafting, and Du Gongcai stood tall, with a cloudy expression on his face. The green-robed official bowed his head and bowed forward: "Li Maocai pays respects to your lord."

Du Gongcai didn't even return the courtesy, and asked coldly, "Magistrate Li, what's the matter with Madam Ling?"

The face of the county magistrate named Li Maocai changed drastically in an instant, and he said eagerly: "My lord, I think that the imperial envoy is a young man who is successful and extremely romantic. He should be a good generation. The villain is willing to ruin his family..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Gong frowned, and interrupted him with a livid face: "How can you recognize someone with your naked eyes? He is a son of the clan, originally the son of the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River, and a third-rank official , Now that you are an imperial envoy, what kind of riches and romantics have you never seen before? How can you be so unrestrained, it must be a deception, and it will become more and more obvious that this son's city is unfathomable. If we underestimate the enemy, we will end up like Gao Qiu and his son! If you want to survive, you must follow the plan!"

Li Maocai's voice trembled: "My lord... Zhuojing is also a rich family, with a strong temper, I'm afraid I don't want to do this!"

Murderous look appeared in Du Gongcai's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Your crimes are enough to kill everyone, and then your precious wife will also enter the Goulan courtyard. It will be a thousand people riding, ten thousand people pushing... the time is not right. There are too many, you have to make it clear to Madam Ling, you can either be wronged, or you can kill everyone, it's up to you to choose!"

Li Maocai's face immediately turned pale, and he cried: "In this case, let me discuss it with Zhuojing again..."

Du Gongcai snorted coldly: "If it doesn't work this time, I will go to your house tomorrow to get someone!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, walked out of Xueyin, and walked away with a group of house slaves.

On the left side of the hall, there is a long screen. The county magistrate Li Maocai came out of Xueyin, but did not return to his seat. Instead, he sneaked behind the screen, entered a long corridor, turned left and right, and entered a pavilion. among.

Inside the pavilion, sitting in the center is an eighteen or nineteen year old woman in red. She was born extremely delicate and hot, with a full waist, but her chest is full of waves.

As soon as Li Maocai entered the door, he stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Little aunt, how about the imperial envoy?"

The woman's face was as deep as water, her beautiful eyes stared straight at Li Maocai who was kneeling on the ground, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Li Maocai felt guilty when she looked at her, and suddenly the woman fell to her knees with a thud, and cried, "It's not that the husband is ruthless, he and others are all born in the imperial examination, so that Du Gongcai is only eyeing the husband, if not If you follow his orders, you will punish your husband, and it is not a pity to die for your husband, even if your wife will also..."

The woman raised her crescent eyebrows and asked sharply, "What else?"

Li Maocai muttered for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "According to the law, you have to enter the Goulan Courtyard."

Hahaha~
The woman in red let out a burst of wild laughter, her voice was like crying but not crying, half smiling but not laughing, with a bit of debauchery and a bit of desolation.

After a long time, the woman stood up, stretched out a green onion-like finger, poked Li Maocai's forehead, and let out a burst of wild laughter: "You, you, you are worthless, even your own wife is guarding you!" I can't help it, I deserve to be a bastard for the rest of my life! Hahaha..."

Li Maocai was ashamed all over his face, his head was so low that it was almost in his crotch, how could he dare to agree, he only heard the woman in red say "Get out", he was so frightened that he immediately scrambled out, and there was another loud noise from behind. Laughter saw back and forth in his heart wantonly like a chainsaw.

In the hall, all the officials toasted to Zhao Hao in turn, and Zhao Hao would not refuse anyone who came, he was so drunk that he could hardly speak clearly.

Du Gongcai was also in the persuading team, seeing Zhao Hao drunk like this, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Cang Si Yang Yu beside him, and whispered: "You are so easy to get drunk, can't you be pretending? "

Promote the Changping Division, referred to as the Cangsi, in charge of Changping warehouses, exemptions, market transactions, workshops, river crossings, water conservancy, etc., buy and sell food according to the harvest, collect exemption money according to the amount of property, and collect according to the severity of the duties. Give the official salary, buy unsalable goods, and then sell them to equalize the price.

This warehouse manager, Yang Yu, is Du Gongcai's distant cousin, and he can be regarded as the second-in-command on Northwest Beijing Road.

Seeing Du Gong asked the question, Yang Yu replied in a low voice: "The lower official is also puzzled, but it is calculated that he drank two jars of wine, even a cow should be drunk. The lower official observed carefully and drank it into his mouth. No cheating."

Although Du Gongcai was suspicious that such a powerful person as Zhao Hao would get drunk when he said he was drunk, but after hearing Yang Yu say that, he no longer doubted it.

Seeing that it was almost done, Du Gong got up and smiled and said: "The two imperial envoys have come from a long distance, the horses and horses are exhausted, and it is time to rest, but there is no time to prepare in a hurry, it is not as good as the two imperial envoys and the commander brothers of the Jinyiwei, tonight I just rest in our mansion, and I will choose another good courtyard as the residence of the imperial envoy in the future, I wonder what the two imperial envoys want?"

When Xu Churen heard this, his eyes widened, and he was about to refuse, but Zhao Hao laughed drunkenly and said: "So, very good, very good!"

Xu Churen's face was gloomy, but it was inconvenient to contradict Zhao Hao's intentions, so he had to give up.

A feast lasted from dusk until two o'clock before it gradually dissipated. Those officials, reeking of alcohol, returned home in twos and threes, either by car or sedan chair, from the Zuixian Tower.

Zhao Hao, Xu Churen, Fang Baihua, Wu Song and others and a group of Jinyiwei elite were arranged to Du's residence, and other Jinyiwei personnel were stationed in the post house.

Du Gongcai's mansion is located in Luoyang City where every inch of land is expensive, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres, and its grandeur is no less than that of Zhao's Mansion in Jiangning.In particular, the pair of stone lions at the door are more powerful and domineering, which makes people feel awe.

The entrance of the Du mansion, the main gate, the second gate, and the gate of ceremonies were all opened for the imperial envoys. Hundreds of slaves and maidservants were already waiting in line, as if they were facing a big enemy. The cheerleaders greeted them, those who led the horses led the horses, and those who helped the people took good care of them. In this way, Xu Churen, Fang Baihua, Liang Hongyu, Daoist Qingmu and others were separated by a group of house slaves and maidservants. However, Zhao Hao had only Wu Song and a few guards to send Zhao Hao to the door of the wing room where he was staying, and then he was helped into the wing room by several beautiful maidservants from the Du mansion and went to bed.

After Zhao Hao went to bed, Wu Song returned to the residence, accompanied by the family members of the Du Mansion, leaving only four Jin Yiwei guards at the door.

After a while, the noisy Du Mansion gradually fell silent, and the originally bright and bright lights gradually dimmed. After all, it was getting late, and it was time to enjoy the joy of bed.

At the door of Zhao Hao's bedroom, four guards stood awe-inspiring with their hands on the hilt of the Qinglong Wrong-Handed Knife, standing upright, ready to go, appearing extremely energetic and cautious.

Thirty or forty steps away from the bedroom, in a bush of flowers, a few black shadows suddenly sprang up, staring coldly at Zhao Hao's wing.

The moonlight shone on the faces of these people, making them look extraordinarily cold and strange. Looking carefully, they were Du Gongcai, Yang Yu, Li Maocai and others.

The few people didn't move, they just quietly looked at Zhao Hao's bedroom.

After a long time, Duke Du asked, "How long have you been in?"

Yang Yu said: "It's time for a stick of incense."

Li Maocai asked anxiously, "Why is there still no movement?"

Yang Yu laughed in a low voice, very wretchedly: "I'm afraid that the little imperial envoy is very skillful, and the little lady is in the midst of joy, so she didn't have time to shout."

The muscles of Li Maocai's face were extremely twisted, and under the moonlight, his eyes shone like hungry wolves, which was extremely terrifying and ferocious.

Seeing his expression, Yang Yu was terrified. Although he was a lot higher than this guy, he was still silent at the moment and didn't dare to say more.

Du Gongcai was startled when he saw Li Maocai's appearance like this, and hurriedly comforted him: "Women are like clothes, why should you care... just let that guy go back home in disgrace, and then divorce her with a letter of divorce, a woman from a rich family in Luoyang City , is it up to you to choose?"

Waiting, waiting, long waiting, for Li Maocai, it seems like several years have passed...

Ah ~
A woman's shrill cry, like howling ghosts and wolves, crossed the night sky and shocked the entire Du Mansion.

PS: Returning, starting from today, the job is doomed to be lost, and I don’t want to keep it. I’m too tired, so I might as well write a book quietly...
