As they talked and laughed, the place became heated.

Lin Zhiyu didn't speak much throughout the whole process, content to be a foil.

Sometimes, you can see things more clearly by staying out of the situation.

But Wang Zhengde didn't let anyone go: "Princess Jin, you are like a woman, so I'll give you a toast!"

Zhou Tingchen's eyes moved and he glanced at Lin Wei. Lin Wei understood and kicked Ji Yanshi, who was immersed in suffering.

Master Ji Yan hurriedly swallowed the last piece of meat and stopped Wang Zhengde's hand.

"Master Xiao Wang, the princess is pregnant, I will drink it for her!"

Wang Zhengde was stunned and subconsciously turned his attention to Zhou Tingchen.

Everyone has the tendency to gossip.

Not to mention, the gossip in official circles can sometimes affect decision-making.

He knew everything about the bad things that happened in the capital before.

I'm pregnant, who is the father?

Zhou Tingchen caught his gaze and said smoothly: "To be honest, I was unfortunately plotted by thieves along the way. Zi Jin... his whereabouts are unknown."

Wang Zhengde's eyebrows twitched, knowing that the highlight of the meal was about to come.

Lin Wei continued: "Master Xiao Wang, when the Jiang family steals the country and foreign enemies invade, the people of Jiangzhou will be the first to suffer."

Wang Zhengde's mouth opened slightly, and when he was about to say something, Lin Zhiyu blocked him.

There were tears in her eyes: "The down-and-out phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, but it has adapted to the current situation.

Mr. Xiao Wang is the late emperor's appointed prostitute. Didn't he come to you because he had no other choice?

I'm sorry for my husband, he hasn't even seen Haiyan Heqing yet..."

Lin Zhiyu couldn't speak anymore, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

Wang Zhengde finally found an opportunity and intervened: "I am just a county guard, and I speak lightly..."

Zhou Tingchen said sincerely: "Master Wang, you should not belittle yourself!
I still remember the policy paper you wrote. The late emperor repeatedly praised him, saying that this person was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and would be reused in the future. "

Wang Zhengde's phrase "already has a family" was forced to swallow it back.

Everyone in the small family, without everyone, where would the small family come from?

Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were such a big label, and he was forced to risk his life.

Wang Zhengde forced out a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, after we return, I will send more manpower to protect everyone's safety!"

With these words, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Zhengde declared himself drunk and left early.

Lin Wei took the handkerchief and wiped his hands: "I'll give it to Mr. Xiao Wang!"

Wang Zhengde looked indeed a little drunk, his tongue was hanging out and his steps were weak.

Lin Wei helped him walk all the way outside, and while the servant was packing the horses, he leaned into Wang Zhengde's ear and lowered his voice.

"To be honest with Mr. Xiao Wang, my sister and I were also forced!

The world is in such chaos that it takes a lot of effort to take care of your own one-third of an acre of land. How can you care about other people's affairs? "

Wang Zhengde glanced at him and laughed dryly: "General Xiaolin, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, these four words are difficult to write!"

"The one in the capital has a dishonest reputation and bad words. It's not certain who will win or lose."

Lin Wei pointed out something, "Master Xiao Wang, walk slowly!"

Wang Zhengde was helped onto the carriage and saw Lin Wei returning to the restaurant with his own eyes, and suddenly chuckled.

The boy looked back and saw that his master's eyes were clear, how could he be half drunk just now?
"Sir, what should I do next?"

"This happened to me in Jiangzhou. If they really win, they can punish me for dereliction of duty!"

Wang Zhengde opened the curtain and took a look, "If you don't go back home, it's the same place!"

The carriage turned a corner and disappeared into the night.

……

Lin Wei returned to the private room: "That man pretended to be drunk, and he was quite capable."

Master Ji Yan looked up from the bowl with a confused look on his face: "Pretending? I think Wang Zhengde is a good person, so that's not the case."

Lin Wei moved the dishes and glanced at Master Ji Yan: "I can't stop you from eating!"

At this important moment, no one had an appetite. Wang Zhengde looked enthusiastic and didn't even touch the food with his chopsticks. Only this Master Ji Yan ate to the end and even asked his sister to refill the wine for him!

Adhering to the principle of out of sight and out of mind, Lin Wei looked away: "What do you think?"

Lin Zhiyu: "Wang Zhengde was the top prospect in high school, but on the second day after the emperor married his wife, he asked to be released because he missed his parents and fellow villagers.

Just now at the dinner table, there were advances and retreats. Before I said my identity, I had already guessed the same.

Now that I think about it, my sense of smell is as sharp as anything. "

Zhou Tingchen snorted: "Glib tongue."

The string in my mind was removed, and the sleepiness began to flow.

Ji Yanshi burped: "Anyway, he promised us, so he won't regret it.

Have a good sleep tonight, and just follow the line of the well tomorrow and touch it again. "

"not that simple."

Lin Zhiyu's brows were still furrowed.

"Now that you know the identities of us, don't you think it's strange that he, a small official who has been out for many years, does good things and doesn't even have any psychological pressure?"

Lin Wei slapped his thigh: "I'll tell you why, it's like he has always dealt with people like this!"

Zhou Tingchen narrowed his eyes: "Maybe he has really been dealing with these people."

After saying this, the room fell silent.

Wang Zhengde looked at Youhua, and there was a big shot behind him. Who could it be?

Is it related to the one in the palace?

Several people were wondering secretly.

"Being prepared is always safe." Lin Zhiyu said softly, "Jiang Ye, go find out what Wang Zhengde has done in the past two years."

After the words were spoken, Lin Zhiyu realized later that Jiang Ye had already set off for the bank.

Lin Wei leaned back and said, "Third sister and I are together."

He also has his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

After being here for so many days, I and my third sister haven’t had a good time shopping yet.

Lin Zhiyu nodded: "There is also the matter of gunpowder, which needs to be prepared."

Zhou Tingchen turned the ring on his hand: "We have contacted Chu Nianshan, and he will help us keep an eye on the black market."

The matter was initially finalized, and the big stone in Lin Zhiyu's heart was finally settled.

……

Beijing.

royal palace.

Jiang Wanning sat at the top with the little prince in her arms, and below stood several ministers, both civil and military.

"My dearest concubine, Xirong has repeatedly harassed our border. The commander has sent three urgent messages in a row, asking the old general to come out."

"My dearest concubine, the Ministry of Household Affairs has handed over a report. There are people in Qingzhou, Yongzhou and other places buying land and grain in large quantities. I sincerely request you to order a thorough investigation."

"Empress Dowager..."

"enough!"

Jiang Wanning scolded angrily, then held her temples with her hands.

"Are two of you thinking that I am blind?"

Her eyes rolled downward.

"Grain harvesting is just a matter of some large local households replenishing their granaries after the famine. Why are you so nervous?
And Xirong, do we, the Qin Dynasty, have no generals we can use? My father is old, you are asking him to die! "

There was silence in the main hall, and several eyes were cast on Taifu Jiang.

Jiang Xingzhi coughed lightly: "Xirong just wants to take advantage of the civil strife in our country and get a piece of the pie.

General Jiang is already old, so it is indeed inappropriate to take command and go on an expedition.

What's more, if he leaves, what will happen to the state affairs? "

Immediately, a minister said: "The King of Jin has returned, and state affairs can be left to him." (End of Chapter)
