Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

Chapter 62 Insufficient Greed

The Zhai people sent the crown prince and the princess to enter the capital, which caused a big storm in the capital early on.

On the day when the envoys of the royal family came to Beijing, all the restaurants and teahouses in the city were fully booked.

"Thank you, young master, this way please."

Zhao Pinjun put aside the Xiao Er who was leading the way, laughed along with him, and personally led Xie Gui to the private room on the third floor.

The window of the private room was not closed, and one could clearly see the street view outside. The boiling human voice was like a wave, entering the room in bursts, but it didn't feel noisy.

Xie Gui raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "You really have a heart."

Zhao Pinjun smiled very modestly, "Where there is nothing, Mr. Xie is too famous, and it is not because of the blessing of Mr. Xie and that." He led Xie Gui to his position.

Along the way, Zhao Pinjun was quietly looking at Xie Gui.

Since sending away the corpse of the wicked woman, he has not seen Xie Gui again.Goodbye in the capital at this time, Xie Gui has already become the most popular person in the capital from an inconspicuous little staff member beside King Yan.

It was rumored in the central capital that the reason why His Majesty did not return Xie to an official position was to let His Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne and use him again.Maybe it will take one step to the sky.

Zhao Pinjun boasted that he had some discernment, Xie Gui's crown and hairpin were of extraordinary quality at first glance.Just talking about the material on his body, it is really as thin as a cicada's wing.

The restaurant was well ventilated, but Zhao Pinjun was already sweating lightly even though he was busy going up and down.As soon as Xie Gui came in, the wind blowing from his sleeves felt cool, and he wore five or six pieces, layered indistinctly, so it wasn't hot at all.

This must be a tribute material, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give it, Xie Gui is really not an ordinary celebrity.

Zhao Pinjun was a little jealous.

Xie Gui wanted to make Zhao Pinjun feel uncomfortable, the tea poured into his throat, but there was no sound at all.Zhao Pinjun was used to it casually, compared with Xie Guiyi, he didn't drink it, and he didn't drink it, so he could only put down the cup embarrassingly.

He put the cup down, Zhao Pinjun waited anxiously for him to speak, but Xie Gui just took the chopsticks and picked up the side dishes without even looking at him.

Zhao Pinjun wished he could slap himself.

This is the person who can drag the two princes into the mud. He is really confused if he wants to gain the upper hand in front of this.

Asking for help should have the attitude of asking for help.

With a stiff face, Zhao Pinjun poured tea for him with his own hands, "I wonder if Mr. Xie is satisfied with this?"

Xie Gui hummed lightly.

Zhao Pinjun continued to be hypocritical: "I have already made inquiries. This is the only way for Zhai's envoys to enter the city. This private room has a wide view, and you can see everything below. I hope Mr. Xie will not dislike you."

Xie Gui glanced at him with a half-smile, "I thought Mr. Zhao invited me to do something, but it was to see Zhai's envoy."

"Of course." Zhao Pinjun patted his chest, "When I was in Youji, Mr. Xie supported my Zhao family a lot. This kindness will be engraved in my heart."

Xie Gui smiled coolly, Zhao Pinjun's back turned cold, and the words froze on his lips, unable to come out.

"Mr. Zhao and I are no more than acquaintances, and have never supported each other. Moreover," Xie Gui changed his words, "Mr. Zhao seems to have forgotten that your first wife is from the Sheng family."

These words made him shiver with shock.

"The Sheng family can't wait to put me to death, but you are courting me in front of them?" Xie Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Zhao, do you think the Sheng family is empty?"

Zhao Pinjun had just started the business, and the relationship between the capital and the officialdom was really not as deep as he thought.

Tiangangwei's manpower had already been withdrawn, and Zhao Pinjun was even more eager to take over the ancestral business as soon as possible.As a result, he was happy for half a year, but he stumbled in the capital.

Zhao Pinjun wanted to cry but had no tears.

He had long forgotten Sheng Jiuniang to the horizon, but he didn't expect that there was a Sheng family in the capital, and he and Xie Gui were enemies.

But everyone has been invited, what should I do?

Zhao Pinjun didn't know which muscle was wrong, and his tone was also weird, "I don't have Mr. Xie's exquisite heart, and Mr. Xie's comprehensiveness."

Xie Gui glanced at him slightly surprised.

Didn't expect the Sheng family to take this step, and blame him?Is it because I didn't remind him in advance?

Zuo Zuo came to tear his face today, Xie Gui put down his chopsticks, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Young Master Zhao, in the capital, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds."

If it were an ordinary person, sitting in front of him would be the minister of the humerus, already busy nodding and bowing, trying to please.

Zhao Pinjun didn't think so.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Xie once supported him, and he also helped them both.Now that His Royal Highness is in a stable position, do you want to deny it?

Anyway, the Sheng family has already offended everyone, so it's better to go all the way to the dark.

He smiled hypocritically: "Mr. Xie, it is precisely because I am cautious in my words and deeds that I have come to discuss with you. As a merchant, what I want is nothing more than a little money. Mr. Xie is in a high position, why don't you go with me?" Is it convenient to go down?"

Xie Guiyun said calmly: "Young Master Zhao, it seems that you don't understand what I mean. Let me say it again, if it weren't for the excitement of Zhai's envoys today, no matter how good the private room you have prepared, you will not be able to invite it." I."

Zhao Pinjun's face has changed color, "Master Xie, if I stand here and shout, some things will not be up to me."

He threatened Xie Gui with Tiangangwei's secret activities, but Xie Gui only thought it was funny.

People don't fight with officials, not to mention that Zhao Pinjun's foundation is not stable, and the Zhao family has just recovered from the crumbling.What would he use to fight the Xie family and Dong Gong?

Xie Gui just took it as a joke, "You can try it."

Zhao Pinjun made a gesture to shout, but Xie Gui didn't give him a straight look.In a moment of impatience, he stood up abruptly, just as he yelled a word, a strong wind came from somewhere, and slapped him on the face.

He was slapped sideways and almost fell to the ground.Looking back, Xie Guiyou was sitting in front of the table without moving half a step.

The matter is not over yet.

With a movement of his lips, another sharp wind slapped with precision.The force was so fierce and the technique was so tricky, just one slap made his eyes shine, his throat was fishy and sweet, and he couldn't make a sound for most of the day.

How could Feng Zhang rest assured that Xie Gui went out alone.It was obvious that Xie Gui was the only one, but he secretly followed many dead men and guards.

Zhao Pinjun lost face, flicked his sleeves, and went out angrily, without leaving a word of farewell.

Xie Gui ate the side dishes on his own, Qin Jiu's figure appeared on the beam of the house, and sneered at this: "Everyone is beaten, how can I have the face to eat wine and vegetables?"

Xie Gui was very leisurely, "If you don't mind, you can eat together."

Qin Jiu cast a contemptuous look, then jumped down, sat at the table and ate and drank.

Qin Jiu held back his anger, and just in time for Zhao Pinjun's opportunity to vent his anger, he acted unceremoniously.After two slaps, Zhao Pinjun's face would only turn red, not even swollen, it would only be so painful that he couldn't find Bei.

Xie Gui finished his tea and ordered: "Everyone followed?"

Zhao Pinjun was willing to spend the money, and the table was full of delicious dishes.While chewing, Qin Jiu replied inarticulately, "I've followed them all, and I promise I won't throw them away."

Xie Gui shook his head, "I really want to keep him alive but can't."

"A thousand-year-old fox, what are you pretending to do?" Qin Jiu continued to sneer, "Don't think I'm stupid, even if he knows how to measure, he won't live long."

Xie Gui smiled, noncommittal.

There was a commotion outside the window, Xie Gui turned his head to look, and happened to see Zhai people's guard of honor entering the city gate.

There were the crown prince and the most favored princess from the Zhai people who came. The emperor attached great importance to it and ordered the imperial army to spread out early.

The emperor sat in the palace and waited for the Zhai envoys to enter the palace, and the prince Fengzhang was sent to greet him at the city gate.

If you can't see the emperor, it's not bad to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.What's more, Fengzhang has a good reputation, people who come just because of his appearance can form another forbidden army.

There was a crowd of people downstairs, Xie Gui looked at the handsome and handsome Crown Prince not far away, snorted coldly, and closed the window.

Qin Jiu was startled by the sound of closing the window, "What?"

Xie Gui stood up with a flick of his sleeves, "I'm upset, let's go back."

-

Ever since he got a soft nail from Xie Gui, Zhao Pinjun felt that everything was not going well.

A few deals that had been negotiated in the capital also fell through, and the other party still greeted him with a smile, but didn't mention the reason.Zhao Pinjun couldn't figure out what was wrong, either it was the Sheng family or Xie Gui, but they were all torn apart, so they couldn't ask, they could only feel aggrieved.

The Zhai people were full of sincerity and sent the royal family here for a good purpose, so the capital has been extremely lively these few days.As a result, he didn't grasp the great opportunity, and Zhao Pinjun felt very uncomfortable.

"Master, where are you going?"

Early in the morning, the newly recruited concubine saw him changing clothes and asked casually.Zhao Pinjun didn't say a word, and went out with a sullen head.

As soon as he went out, a black shadow followed him not far away.

On Zhao Pinjun's side, Tiangang Guards were watching. In Yanwang's mansion, Xie Gui had just received the emperor's oral order, ordering him to go to the Ministry of Rites immediately.

When the Zhai envoy arrived, the Ministry of Rites had just been released from the affairs of the East Palace, and it was very busy, so the lack of people was reasonable.

The emperor even prepared his robes for him, just waiting for him to leave.Xie Gui took his robe and went back to his room to change, but when he came out he was a little emotional.

He didn't hide his emotions, Qin Jiu could see it at a glance, and couldn't help gloating: "Why, the days of eating and drinking for free here in the Lord are finally over?"

Xie Gui glanced at him, "As soon as I take office, I have to temporarily keep a distance from your Patriarch, have you forgotten?"

The prince of this dynasty can support his staff, but once the staff enters the court as an official, no matter whether it is the prince's election or the selection of the Ministry of Rites, they are not allowed to have any private contacts with the prince.

Qin Jiu didn't expect this level, and suddenly showed him an ambiguous smile.

Xie Gui pretended not to see it.

Xie Gui was not used to wearing an official uniform for a long time, and adjusted to the bronze mirror for a long time before he was barely satisfied.However, as soon as he went out, he was still picked on by Qin Jiu.

"She's as thin as firewood, and she doesn't look like anything in that."

Xie Gui sneered, "I don't look like you, your Patriarch looks like you."

Qin Jiu shut up resentfully.

The people from the palace were still waiting in the main hall, Xie Gui tidied up his clothes, and just stepped out of the courtyard, he bumped into Yan Qi who was rushing over anxiously.

Xie Gui frowned, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Although Yan Qi was in a hurry, he was forced out, and his expression was still a bit dazed.

"My lord, the lord urged me to tell you that the person His Majesty wants you to receive is the young general who came with Prince Yelu."

Xie Gui had a bad feeling, "What little general?"

"Young, who has gained fame in recent years, seems to be called Du, Dugu..."

Xie Gui took a deep breath.

"... Dugu Zhu."
