Seeing that Qingzhi was dying, Fang Lansheng had no choice but to speak from the side, took the glass offered by Zhao Renchang for him, drank it all in one gulp, and smiled slightly: "Master Zhao, Lord Hou can't drink any more."

With a big tongue, Qingzhi pushed Fang Lansheng away, took another glass of wine for himself, and clinked glasses with Zhao Renchang: "Hahaha, Lao Zhao, don't listen to other people, I can still drink, Lord Marquis."

Gu Jixiu remained silent.

Zhao Renchang laughed so much that even his wrinkles appeared, he and Qingzhi hooked up shoulder to shoulder, mixed into the embarrassing trio headed by Liu Dafu, and called them brothers.

"It's really... time for you to take office as an official. Master Ben is going to visit the south, so you will become an official and serve Master Ben with good wine and good food. If someone like Xu... wants to come to the Marquis Master didn't enjoy it that much anymore." Qingzhi hiccupped and started talking nonsense: "I heard he was captured by you?"

Zhao Renchang exchanged glances with the others, and turned his head quickly, but this couldn't escape Gu Jixiu's eyes.

"Yes, the officer reported him that day."

"Good report!" Qing Zhi was a little slurred, patted Zhao Renchang's old face, stretched out his finger and said, "Otherwise, with that guy's style, I'm afraid the Lord Hou will be chewing some tofu! Oh, that's right." , for what reason did you take him down?"

Zhao Renchang hesitated for a while, and then said: "There is a secret report that Xu Yi has received other people's money, and he is going to hand over the weaving general merchant of this year's tribute to the Xiao family, ah! It is Xiao Lue, who is also the family of his aide Xiao Ziheng. Like this It is strictly forbidden by the imperial court to give and receive privately, and the lower officials eat the king's salary, and they dare not go along with them, so they reported this matter to Mr. Wang Yu, the Minister of Zhongshu."

Qingzhi nodded: "Don't tell me these things, Master Ben just ask casually, I'm tired of listening to you talking so much! Come, drink!"

After all, I raised my glass again.

The banquet didn't end until the afternoon. Zhao Renchang summoned someone to take Qing Zhijia, who was already drunk and unable to walk, back to the carriage, and finally glanced at his "little white faces" group, and said with a smile: "Young Master Gu, sir! I have to go back to the mansion to handle some business, so I will trouble you to take care of me, Lord Hou."

Gu Jixiu nodded with a smile, watched Zhao Renchang and the others leave, and the smile disappeared from his eyes.Qingzhi's voice came from the carriage behind him: "Are they gone?"

The curtain was lifted, and he lay on his stomach in pain, "Damn, those people can really drink, I almost died..." After saying that, he retched a few times.

Fang Lansheng quickly took out a small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and handed it to Qingzhi: "I asked Liufu to go to the pharmacy to buy it this morning. It is said that it can stop the drinking, and it is better than nothing."

Qingzhi was about to reach out to take it, but was blocked by a figure, Gu Jixiu got into the carriage, and said coldly: "Although I lied to them just now, if they turn back on this road, it will be a waste of time." That scene? Let’s go back to the hotel first.”

A group of people had just arrived at the hotel, Qing Zhi had just applied an ice pack to his face, and was about to wipe his face before going into the room to lie down for a while, when Liu Fu came in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Hou, someone is asking to see you— - Who did he say was Zhao Fuyi's son?"

Qingzhi stood up straight, even Gu Jixiu on the side froze, everyone looked at each other, did the scene they deliberately acted out for Zhao Renchang and the others just go wrong?

After thinking about it, since he came to the door, he couldn't see him, but he still needed to find out the truth first.

Qingzhi and Gu Jixiu went to hide behind the screen first, leaving only Fang Lansheng and Fu Yanxin in the main hall, and Zhao Chunshan came to the main hall under the leadership of his servants.

He wasn't surprised to see only Fang Lansheng and Fu Yanxin. He was about to bow his hands when Fang Lansheng hurriedly stopped them.Compared with Zhao Chunshan, it is estimated that Zhao Chunshan is more noble than him.

"Mr. Fang is right." Although he didn't salute, he was still polite. Fang Lansheng didn't dare to say anything, so he asked his servants to bring some tea, and the three of them sat down. Only then did Zhao Chunshan say quietly, "Mr. If you can be favored by Lord Hou, you must be someone with lofty ideals. Zhao and you also know that people don't speak dark words, so please ask Mr. Fang to ask Lord Hou to come out and talk."
