Rich and powerful

So everyone was very active and lined up to toast Qiu Yi.

At this moment, only Qiu Yi was sitting at the banquet table, and Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong were sitting opposite him.

They are both Lin Yun's people, especially Ma Ji, who has already learned that the governor is willing to worship under Lin Yun's command, so it is even more impossible for him to give Qiu Yi this face.

While Qiu Yi drank the wine toasted by the officials, he stared at Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong with dark eyes.

In his eyes, these two people in front of him are thorns in the flesh, and he can't wait to get rid of them quickly.

But Qiu Yi understood that now was not the time to act.

Moreover, he did not dare to touch Lin Yun's people easily.

He didn't care about Wang Chuanzhong, after all, he was just a small governor under his command, but Ma Ji was different.

Being in charge of Yucheng's House of Internal Affairs is equivalent to controlling the pocketbooks of Yucheng's officials. Even Qiu Yi dare not offend him too much, otherwise he will have nothing to eat.

However, Qiu Yi also knew that Ma Ji would hold a grudge if he read a book from his father during the day.

After thinking about it, Qiu Yi directly dismissed the officials who were flattering him, poured two glasses of wine himself, got up and walked towards Ma Ji.

Ma Ji was still chatting with Wang Chuanzhong, seemingly talking and laughing, but in fact most of his attention was on Qiu Yi's side.

So, when Qiu Yi came with a wine glass, he understood what it meant, and immediately got up to greet him.

Although he hated this young master in his heart, he didn't have the courage to turn against him face to face, so he could only sit and wait for Lin Yun to deal with this young man slowly.

Ma Ji clasped his fists and smiled, and said, "Young Master Qiu is too polite!! You are the host, how can I ask you to toast the lower official, I should let the lower official toast you!"

Saying that, Ma Ji immediately picked up a glass of wine.

Qiu Yi smiled bitterly, and said: "Boss Ma, I know that I read a book from my father today, which must make you hold a grudge, but...to be honest, the person I don't want to offend is you, and, today You are also my most valued official at this banquet, how I hope you can stand by my side!"

As he spoke, he forced a glass of wine into Ma Ji's hand.

Qiu Yi seemed to be a little drunk, and his words and actions seemed very stiff.

But he also said a lot of his heart.

The surrounding officials could also hear clearly, and they all looked at Ma Ji enviously.

To be favored by Lord Fuyin and this young master who just gained power at the same time is not ordinary.

Qiu Yi nodded and smiled neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Is the eldest son drunk? From the first day I took over the position of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I have only been loyal to one person, and that is Mr. Fu Yin!! If the eldest son can sit If you are in this position, then the subordinate official must swear allegiance to the death!"

Qiu Yi's words were very particular. He said that he would be loyal to Mr. Fu Yin, but he didn't say that he was loyal to Qiu Guangri.

The deep meaning was to tell everyone present that he did not choose to stand in line, let alone join the Qiu family and his son.

This is also the reason why Qiu Guangri has always wanted the outside world to think so.

Because Ma Ji is his treasurer, he must not be suspected by the outside world, although the outside world has already thought so.

The surrounding officials all sneered at Ma Ji's statement, thinking that he was arrogant because of his favor, and cursed inwardly.

Among those present, only Wang Chuanzhong and Qiu Yi really understood Ma Ji's words.

Qiu Yi nodded depressedly, raised his wine glass with both hands, and said with a smile: "Okay! Don't say these things, in a word, I hope that Mr. Ma will not be angry. I toast you a glass of wine, which is not a respect!!"

When the words fell, Qiu Yi raised his hand and did it.

Ma Ji also drank the wine in the glass, but he finally understood that this Qiu Yi was worried about offending him, so he lowered his posture in public.

However, Ma Ji was not grateful to Qiu Guangri in his heart. He understood that Qiu Yi's willingness to bow his head was not because of Qiu Guangri speaking for him, but because of Lin Yun's existence.

As soon as Qiu Yi put down his wine glass, Wang Chuanzhong also got up and picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile, "Young Master Qiu, I'm also an official..."

"Don't talk about Wang Dutong! I won't drink your wine! Besides, I didn't invite you today! I didn't kick you out directly, so I gave you face!"

Since Wang Chuanzhong rejected Qiu Yi's kindness last time, he has completely hated going to the Wang family. If Lin Yun hadn't been a hindrance, the Wang family would have been a dish for a long time.

Wang Chuanzhong was so stunned by Qiu Yi that he couldn't get off the stage in public, his complexion became very ugly, and he was at a loss in embarrassment.

The officials around were whispering and looking at him with unfriendly expressions.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this Wang Chuanzhong must not be liked by Qiu Yi.

In fact, Wang Chuanzhong knew it a long time ago, because his old leader Wei De was not invited today, how could he receive any good face?

At this time, Ma Ji said in a deep voice: "Wang Dutong, it's getting late! Let's retreat first!!"

Wang Chuanzhong cast a grateful look at him, and nodded awkwardly in agreement.

"Hey, what's the rush, Mr. Ma! I'll have a program specially prepared for you later!!"

Qiu Yi smiled mysteriously, with a face to flatter him.

Ma Ji shook his head and said: "Let's forget it! I'm tired of completing the official duties assigned by Mr. Fu Yin today! What's more..."

Suddenly, Ma Ji thought of something and suddenly looked at Qiu Yi.

Seeing that he was smiling at himself but not a smile, Ma Ji felt a little bit in his heart.

"What's more? Manager Ma seems to have something on his mind!!"

Qiu Yi smiled brighter.

Ma Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, did not say much, cupped his fists and said: "I will take my leave first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without giving Qiu Yi any face at all.

And Wang Chuanzhong immediately followed.

Qiu Yi stared at the backs of the two of them leaving, the smile on his face gradually froze, and his eyes became sharper.

At this time, a confidant came behind him and said in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to kill him?"

Qiu Yi glanced at him suddenly, looked him up and down, and said, "I'll kill you! Do you have brains? Get lost..."

That confidant also kindly reminded him, but he was stunned and could only lower his head in embarrassment.

The surrounding officials looked at each other in blank dismay. They all heard the conversation between the two, and they were very panicked.

If he guessed right, it seems that their Yucheng Mansion Military Chief is going to attack Ma Ji, which is a big event that will break the sky.

The confidant didn't leave, but just stood behind him without saying a word.

Qiu Yi took a deep breath and asked, "Is everything ready over there?"

"Everything is in order, just wait for the young master's order!"

"Very good, pass on the order, do it in the ugly hour of the morning! Do it cleanly, and don't be discovered by them!!"

"Subordinates obey!!"

After that, the confidant turned and left.

Qiu Yi smiled again, lowered his head and poured a glass of wine, then looked at the officials around him, and said loudly: "Everyone, you are all heroes of my city of Yu, Mr. Ben is happy today, everyone here will reward you with 100 taels of silver! Get drunk!!"
