Eternal traitor

Chapter 123
Zuixianlou is the highest-standard restaurant in Fenglan County. It has the most luxurious wine and meat, the most beautiful women, and the most expensive furniture in Fenglan County.In short, here is an existence that poor people can't get in for a lifetime, of course, except for you as a handyman.

Today, thinking that it was an invitation from Mahua, all the big shots in Fenglan County came as scheduled.Zuixian Building is divided into two floors, the lower floor is occupied by some big households in Fenglan County, while the upper floor on the second floor is the territory of rich families, officials and some noble figures in Fenglan County.

"Master Liu."

"The lord's family is here too??"

"Master Ma, can you not invite me?"

···············
In the bustling Zuixian Tower, each big man or several beauties are hugging left and right, or hugging a prostitute to show off without any shame.But the people around continued to talk as if they were used to things around them.

"Everyone be quiet."

Ma Hua on the second floor lost his face and waved to the people on the first floor. As soon as a small voice came out, the entire Zuixian Tower fell silent.

"Today, County Magistrate Li has handed over to Mr. Ma, so you will have to support Mr. Li in the future."

Ma Hua smiled and brought Li Hua in front of everyone. The entire restaurant was almost owned by him. Even if he left, he could not be replaced by others.

"Li Hua from this county is also from Fenglan County. Now that I have this important task, I ask everyone to take care of me. This glass of wine is to everyone present."

Li Hua picked up a glass of wine generously, raised his glass and drank it down.

"Should be."

"Decided to be Li County Magistrate's leader."

"Your Excellency is welcome."

···············
Being able to get a toast from the county magistrate, the people around all complimented him with a few nice words.

"Today, the county is having some difficulties and would like to ask everyone to help me with Mr. Ma's banquet." Li Hua glanced at Ma Hua behind him, and continued with a melancholy expression on his face: "Nowadays there are many refugees. The county's food storage and tax revenue are all used to help the victims, but the tax payment date is approaching, and it will be difficult for Li to come up with such a year's tax revenue in Fenglan County when he takes office, so please donate generously, the county will definitely not Forget about your help."

"My lord, there are indeed difficulties in the villain's family."

"A certain family is poor, but they are willing to donate ten stones of food."

"The Wang family is willing to give thirty stones of food."

･･･････
Hearing Li Hua's words, the people who were ostentatious just now pretended to be poor, and the food donations were even more pitiful.The combined food of dozens of people is not even [-] shi.There is not enough food here to fit between the teeth, how can we help Li Hua solve the problem? ?

"The Ma family is willing to donate five hundred shi of grain."

There was a loud roar, and Ma San, with his head held high and his chest high, came to the crowd with arrogant steps, step by step, shaking three times, and the five fingers stretched out seemed to show off.

"Master Ma San really cares about the country and the people."

"Master Ma San is mighty."

"Master Ma San is really generous and selfless."

·············
The voice of flattery sounded again, and a group of people flattered the magistrate Ma San one after another. After all, compared with the food they donated, Ma San alone was more than twice the total number of the group.However, for the Ma family, which owns half of the wealth in Fenglan County, is five hundred stones really that much? ?
"The Ma family are all loyal people." Li Hua smiled and nodded towards Ma San, and then whispered in Ma Hua's ear beside him: "Master Ma, such a little food is not enough."

"Master Li is very grateful for everyone's donations. Everyone eats and drinks well."

Ma Hua greeted a group of people downstairs, and led Li Hua into a separate hut.

There were a total of ten people sitting in the house, the three brothers of the Ma family, several officials from Fenglan County, and the patriarchs of the major families.

"Master Li, do you think these dishes suit your appetite?"

Ma Hua didn't say a word about the food, but pointed to the food that was already on the table and asked.The meals are all good meals, but the problem is that there is a plate of beef in the middle of the table.

That's right, it's beef.

Cattle are an important productive force, and eating beef is not allowed. Putting it on the table in such a bright and fair manner is even more provocative to Li Hua.

Glancing at the plate of beef in front of him, Li Hua frowned and said, "This county has no appetite now, Mr. Ma hasn't said anything about the food yet?"

"Master Li, you should know that although Ma has some surplus food, it is indeed not easy. It would be fine if I gave it to you, but..."

Ma Hua's words stopped on his lips, and he picked up the jug on the table and poured a glass of wine for Li Hua.

"Master Ma, but it's okay to say."

Li Hua took Ma Hua's wine but did not drink it, but asked anxiously.

"A big brother from a certain family pours wine for you. If you don't drink it, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Ma?? Don't bring up the matter of food in the future."

Ma Hua hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Ma San over here opened his voice and started yelling.

"Shut up." Ma Hua scolded Ma San first, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Ma is incapable of discipline, please don't blame Master Li."

"It's okay." Li Hua smiled, drank the wine in the glass, and put the empty glass on the table. "It's the county's negligence. The county drank this glass of wine. It doesn't matter if Mr. Ma has any difficulties."

"Your Majesty Li is very forthright. My younger brother Ma San has been in charge of the military power in Fenglan County for several years. Those brothers are reluctant to give up my younger brother. That's why Ma asked Li County Magistrate for a favor. If Ma San can continue to stay in this position Now, Ma will continue to donate [-] shi of grain. I don’t know, what does Mr. Li think?”

After Ma Hua finished speaking, the group of people stopped what they were doing and waited quietly for Li Hua's answer.After all, military power is a big deal, and mastering military power is the boss.Now Li Hua has been forced to make a choice by the Ma family, so will he give in? ?
"Clap clap clap."

Li Hua clapped his hands lightly, sat on the chair with a smile, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, sniffed it, and ate it in front of everyone.There were not a few slices of beef that quickly entered Li Hua's stomach, and Li Hua, still unsatisfied, picked up the wine glass and drank a few more glasses.

"The Ma family really has a heart. First, they emptied the grain depot and took away the silver, and now they invite everyone to force them. Okay, well, this scene, the people in this building are all arranged by your Ma family, right?"

Li Hua's eyes felt a little more cold, without the cowardice and flattery before, and the strangeness made the people in front of him feel cold.
