Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 202 Banquet and Discussion

I remember that on the way here, Xun Biao had already told everyone about this possibility, but it was still frustrating to actually encounter it.

"Don't expect to find any clues by investigating the account books. It is certain that the former prefect Xu Gui corrupted at least [-] guan of the [-] guan owed. However, no matter how we investigate the account books, we can't find anything! Besides, we just Checking the accounts right away is equivalent to going to war with them directly, which is quite unwise!" Xun Biao said slowly after making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside.

"Don't we just ignore everything like this?" Zhang Mo frowned slightly, he was not the kind of person who liked to yell.

"Anyone who has just come to a place must face the power of the old forces. Either be beaten to the ground and then run away in embarrassment; I just entered the barracks in the past, didn't someone come directly to challenge me?" Li Ming was not surprised by this situation, and even felt a little familiar with it.

"Where is the biggest tavern, and what's the food like? If it's not up to the standard, then let's have a banquet at your house! Send an invitation to Wei Xin, Gu Yan, and Zhang Dui!" Li Ming clapped his hands, so happy decided.

It's not about giving in, it's just following Xun Biao's suggestion.If you want to attack Kuaiji County, it would be a bit abrupt to come directly, first benefit and then soldiers, this process must go first!

"Invitation card? You gave in so soon? It's just that you have a banquet in the Xun Mansion, what do you mean?" Wei Xin looked at the invitation card in his hand, and looked directly at Gu Yan.Although he came from a wealthy family, Wei Xin was just a pure warrior.

"If you're in Li's house, don't you worry that it's a Hongmen banquet?" Or Gu Yan knew a lot and quickly understood, "I didn't expect the Xun family to support Li Ming publicly, and this time they are even more willing to act as a middleman. Let's go to the banquet Let's see what Li Ming has to say to us! They don't dare to mess around on this three-acre land in the south of the Yangtze River!"

The Xun Mansion was indeed much bigger and more imposing than the Li Manor, but the key was that the Xun family's name was useful. If Li Ming invited him, it would be up to him whether others wanted to honor him or not.

"The Xun family is so optimistic about Li Ming?" Gu Yan, who came to the banquet, found Xun Biao directly. As for his boss, he didn't even look at him.

"I heard that nephew Ling is currently studying under Cai Yong's school? Cai Yan, Bo Jie's eldest daughter, is the younger sister recognized by my sister, so she can also be regarded as Xun's younger sister. According to this calculation, the Gu family and the Xun family may not necessarily be close. , Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Li may not be able to get close?" Xun Biao said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that there was such a relationship? Hey, why didn't Zhiruo (Xun Biao's character) come to be the prefect of Kuaiji!" Gu Yan said with a broken heart when he heard the words.

"I have tricked Li Ming into delegating power. On the surface, he is the Chief Registrar, but in fact he is also in charge of the government affairs of Kuaiji County. It's just that the position of Chief Registrar..." Xun Biao was a little embarrassed.

"You Zhiruo is such a great talent, why do you still need others to steal his position?" Gu Yan smiled lightly, even if he refused to leave, Gu Shi still has a thousand ways to get the other party to give up his position!

"The Xun family has been in the Central Plains in recent years. There are too many people staring at it. They have no choice but to come to the south of the Yangtze River to develop. It is impossible to rely on the Gu family more in the future!" Xun Biao said in a low voice.

"No matter where, the Gu family also needs a lot of help from the Xun family!" Gu Yan laughed.

The Xun family's influence in the court is exactly what the Gu family needs.The Gu family's influence in the south of the Yangtze River is what the Xun family needs.Cooperation is beneficial to both, he is naturally clear about this.Gu Yan probably understood that Li Ming was just a puppet pushed by the Xun family to attract attention, and the real person in charge was actually Xun Biao.

Seeing that the banquet started, everyone was seated one after another, and the kitchen brought up the dishes one by one. The three of them who didn't pay attention to the dishes were immediately attracted by the delicious dishes in front of them.

"Mr. Li is a rough man. He is new to your place, and he can't offer anything to entertain you, so he cooks some dishes himself, hoping to satisfy everyone's appetite!" Li Ming is sitting on the left side of the main seat at the moment. , said to the three with a smile.

"Brother-in-law's craftsmanship is probably better than that of the royal chef in the palace, you are lucky!" Xun Biao laughed while sitting on the master seat.The arrangement of this position, and Gu Yan's private explanation, the other two immediately understood.

The sheriff himself cooks for this, and this dish is also unique.The three of them savored the dishes carefully with a bit of banter, but they couldn't maintain the family's calmness when they really ate it in their mouths, and the speed of picking up the dishes suddenly accelerated.

When the three of them came to their senses, the plates in front of them were all empty, only the wine bottle was still full.This made the three of them gasp in amazement. After all, in the past, when they went to banquets, the wine was often drunk first, but there was still a lot of food left.

"My lord's culinary skills are truly amazing! Much better than my cook!" Wei Xin said without any hesitation, anyway, he didn't take Li Ming seriously.

"How do you talk? My lord is an adult. How can you compare with your cook?" Gu Yan reprimanded him, but he was actually watching Li Ming's reaction.

"Li is just a vulgar person who doesn't know how to govern the country and the world. I'm afraid the three of you will have to worry about Kuaiji's government affairs in the future!" Li Ming was not annoyed, and he bowed his hands to the three of them honestly.

"We are all natives of Jiangnan, so we naturally hope that Kuaiji County will become more and more prosperous!" Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction, it would be best if he could recognize his identity clearly.

"My sister-in-law is more nostalgic. He has several subordinates who were in the army before, and he wants to arrange arrangements. Xun also tested the talents of several people and thought that they could be the thief Cao, the decisive Cao and the strategist Cao. A position..." Xun Biao was a little embarrassed.

"The prefect has the right to appoint and dismiss all subordinate officials. As subordinates, how can we talk too much?" Gu Yan said with a smile, these are just county officials, and to put it bluntly, they are just a group of temporary workers, so there is nothing to worry about.

After drinking and eating, everyone left one after another.

"Tonight's banquet feels like the most aggrieved time for me!" Li Ming sent everyone away, but after returning to the living room, he complained directly. There is no presumption.But Wei Xin's attitude made people feel uncomfortable, his nostrils were almost turned up to the sky.

"If you can't bear it, you can make a big conspiracy!" Xun Biao stepped forward slowly, "Wei Xin is the son of the Wei family, and his rudeness is probably just a disguise. I haven't been so rude when we met yesterday, how can I change my attitude in a day? I’m afraid, tonight he came here to test our authenticity! But they definitely couldn’t imagine that our goal is not the master book or other positions, the key is the thief!”

"It's all about being responsible for the thieves in the county!" Li Ming said angrily, and his authority is equivalent to that of the armed police force of later generations.

"That's enough! There are five hundred soldiers under Cao Cao's sect!" Xun Biao smiled lightly.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
