After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

"I guess this is Lord Cai Zhang, the governor of Chongzhou?"

Li Yanqi's eyes curved into two graceful arcs, and he smiled and said, "Yanqi has the audacity to come here today, not for anything else, but because there is a misunderstanding between me and you, and I need to apologize to you in person."

"That Huang Batian is your right-hand man, and he insulted me so badly that I thought wrongly and misunderstood your character. He also clashed with my brothers in Chongzhou. It was really Yan Qi's fault."

He bowed deeply respectfully towards Cai Zhang.

"With the help of all of you, Yan Qi would like to apologize to Lord Cai. If I had known that you were so upright, I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed."

Li Yanqi's words were extremely clever. They not only saved Cai Zhang's face, but also covered up the conflict by using the excuse of misunderstanding.

Mr. Wang was always smart. How could he miss such an opportunity to curry favor with Li Yanqi? He stood up at the right time and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Lord Cai has always been impartial and magnanimous, so why would he bother with the county lieutenant?"

Boss Song also echoed.

"That's right, County Lieutenant Li, you underestimate Lord Cai's tolerance. There's a saying... A prime minister's tolerance is as big as a boat. This time, County Lieutenant ...

Li Yanqi glanced at Cai Zhang, raised her thin red lips, leaned over, picked up a tea bowl from the table, and poured a full bowl of wine.

"It's true that he deserves to be punished."

As he spoke, he raised the bowl to Cai Zhang's nose and said, "Yan Qi was short-sighted and misjudged you, sir. I will drink three bowls as punishment to apologize to you, sir. I'll drink it first!"

He drank the full bowl of wine in one breath, and then drank two more bowls.

After drinking, Li Yanqi grabbed the wine bowl with one hand and turned it upside down in front of Cai Zhang, without a drop of wine falling.

Everyone immediately stood up from their seats, and the cheers and applause almost blew the roof of the Yingkeju off.

Cai Zhang was stunned, but he actually admired Li Yanqi in his heart. This time, Li Yanqi took care of both his reputation and his dignity.

It is said that those who are too rigid are easily broken, and only those who can bend and stretch can be considered a real man.

Thinking of this, the unhappy look on Cai Zhang's face had already faded away. He looked straight into Li Yanqi's smiling eyes and said, "Forget it, it's just a misunderstanding. Sir Li, please sit down."

Mr. Wang was very perceptive. He stood up and invited Li Yanqi to sit next to Cai Zhang.

Li Yanqi mingles in the streets and has come into contact with all kinds of people. The main reason why he can thrive in Yunlong County is probably his strong fist, but it is definitely not just because of his strong fist.

He was handsome, smart, and good at talking. After sitting down and chatting with Cai Zhang for just a few words, he made the other forget the conflict between them.

After a full meal and a few drinks, Cai Zhang squinted his drunken eyes, patted Li Yanqi's shoulder, and said with a big tongue: "Yan, Yanqi, Huang Batian deserves his punishment, you kill him, just, just kill him."

Li Yanqi also drank a lot of wine, and the corners of his eyes were stained with a light red rouge, which added a hint of evil, but his pupils were dark, bright and clear.

He already knew what Cai Zhang was going to say next, but he still had a faint smile on his face and listened attentively.

"But...hiccup! But that boy was very good at martial arts and was very helpful to me. Now that he is dead, there is a vacancy by my side. I wonder if Yan Qi is willing to come?"

Cai Zhang was drunk, and his pair of red eyes were fixed on Li Yanqi's eyes.

Cai Zhang’s idea was actually very simple. Huang Batian was the best fighter under him. Since Li Yanqi was able to kill him, it meant that his martial arts was better than Huang Batian’s.

The key is that he is much smarter and more clever than Huang Batian. If used well, it will definitely become a good knife in his hands.

"I am deeply grateful to Lord Cai for his appreciation of me. But..."

The corner of Li Yanqi's raised mouth turned down, as if he was in a dilemma.

Cai Zhang's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Li Yanqi unkindly, saying unhappily: "After saying so much, you just don't want to serve me?"

"It's not that I don't want to serve you, sir."

Li Yanqi looked at everyone present and said, "It is really because of the respect shown by the people of Yunlong County that they asked me to take over the position of escort for the caravan. The caravan that I have agreed to escort is already scheduled for three months later. If I leave Yunlong County and go to the prefecture with you, wouldn't that be a breach of trust?"

At this point, Mr. Liu, who was sitting opposite Cai Zhang and running a spice business, immediately responded with a bitter face.

"Sir Jiedushi, you also know the current situation in various places. There are tens of thousands of refugees, robbers and bandits are everywhere, and business is really difficult. If it weren't for the patrol battalion of Sir County Wei to escort us, we would have gone home to starve long ago."

Boss Song had something to say: "That's right! Yesterday I had a batch of goods from Bingzhou. If I couldn't deliver them as promised, I would have to pay a penalty of three thousand taels. I spent a huge amount of money to finally find an escort agency willing to escort the goods. Guess what...?"

Boss Song spread his hands to everyone, his face turning red with anger.

"I was robbed just after leaving Yunlong County! My goods are lost and I have to pay compensation. The most infuriating thing is that I don't even know who did it!"

Cai Zhang had just accepted a delicate beauty from Boss Song, and Chongzhou was under his jurisdiction. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when listening to his plea.

He pretended to be angry and said, "How can this be! These bandits are so bold! When I return to the prefecture this time, I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly when I have time."

Now Maozhou is eyeing him covetously, the state capital is flooded with refugees, there are two big Buddhas in Qingzhou, and Li Yanqi has defeated his three thousand soldiers. He and Qian Sanwen are already busy with their own affairs, so how can they have time to take care of such matters as merchants?

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Boss Song thanked him, but he secretly sneered in his heart: If he really wanted to take care of it, why would he wait until today? How could they expect someone who was bullied by Maozhou to become a coward?

If the only thing we can hope for now is...

He looked at Li Yanqi eagerly and pleaded with Cai Zhang, "Sir Jiedushi, I only ask you to have mercy on us small business owners..."

After Boss Song finished speaking, everyone present stood up and said in unison: "Please have mercy on us, sir!"

Cai Zhang frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

He saw that Li Yanqi was indeed a talent, and he had suffered heavy losses at the hands of this fellow. He was unwilling not to recruit him for his own benefit this time.

Cai Zhang had a sullen face and said nothing. Everyone stood and bowed but refused to sit down. The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

At this moment, a clear voice pierced through the stagnant air.

"I am so ashamed to say that I am grateful for your kindness. I will say a few words."

Everyone's eyes fell on that handsome face. He took the white porcelain wine pot, filled a glass of wine for Cai Zhang, and brought it to Cai Zhang. He smiled and said, "I have a way to have the best of both worlds. I just don't know if Lord Cai is willing to do it."

Cai Zhang stared into the pair of dark, bright, smiling eyes with empty eyes, and after a few moments he finally took the glass of wine.

"But it doesn't matter."
