Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

night.

Luojing Dongcheng, in a rather elegant small courtyard.

"Come on, Brother Wang, drink this cup!"

"Master Hu, do it!"

bang~

The sound of the porcelain cups colliding slightly sounded.

Hu Yan and Wang Licheng picked up the wine glasses in their hands and drank the wine inside in one gulp.

"ha!"

While pushing the cups and changing the cups, Hu Yan's slightly drunk face showed a clear expression of unfinished business.

"As expected of the world-famous [Yuye] fine wine, it is really delicious, elegant and delicate, with an endless aftertaste~ Just like what Li Taibai said: This wine should only be found in the sky, and it is rare to taste it in the world."

Seeing his intoxicated look, although Wang Licheng also had a look of enjoyment on his face, a look of heartache quietly flashed in his eyes.

Bi Qiniang too!

There are hundreds of taels of fine wine and fine wine, can it not taste good?

Where is the wine? What the fuck is drinking money!

He laughed along, but the smile was a bit far-fetched.

I haven't seen this dog official for many years, and he still has the same virtue as when he was the county magistrate in Yongchuan...

After drinking for three rounds, the two began to talk about business.

"Master Hu, the Xia Yan case..."

Hu Yan chuckled, and said: "Don't worry, Brother Wang, the Japanese officials have been looking through the files non-stop for the past few days, erasing all the possible flaws in it, and I only asked Lord Shangshu and the Minister of Dali Temple today. Mr. Zhao, they all said that there is absolutely no possibility of overturning this case! Even the old-fashioned old man in the Metropolitan Procuratorate thinks this is an iron case, so tomorrow's tribunal trial must be the memorial day for Xia Yan!"

Hearing this conclusive answer, Wang Licheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"So good, so good!"

While pouring wine for Hu Yan, he said excitedly: "If this dog official is not dead, Yongchuan will not be peaceful for a day! Now Mr. Hu is doing this for Yongchuan, and let me wait for a bright future. On behalf of all ethnic groups in Yongchuan, thank you I have passed Master Hu, and if Master Hu has anything that can be used by superiors and inferiors in the future, I will never refuse!"

"Hahaha!"

Hu Yan laughed and looked at Wang Licheng with admiration.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Brother Wang is still as transparent as ever in terms of human relations and sophistication."

Obviously, he was quite satisfied with Wang Licheng's ability to behave like a man.

Wang Licheng said a few words modestly, then took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, put them on the wine table, pressed them lightly and handed them over.

Looking at the bank note in front of him, Hu Yan narrowed his eyes, but did not immediately reach out to pick it up, but took a sip from his wine glass, and said calmly, "Brother Wang, what is the meaning of this?"

Wang Licheng smiled and said: "Looking at Mr. Hu's complexion has changed a lot these days, I think Mr. Hu spent so much time looking through the files in the government office every day in order to make that dog official subdue the law, that he overworked and hurt the basics." , looking at it, I feel really sorry, if Mr. Hu, a master of Qingtian like you, has any mistakes, I will be guilty of a serious crime, so I ask Mr. Hu to buy some supplements for the 10,000 taels. Take care of yourself so that you can be the master for us who have suffered injustice in the future."

Hearing this, Hu Yan smiled.

"Brother Wang really has a heart, but isn't it a little too much to buy supplements with 10,000 taels? I'm just a little bit of effort. I'm afraid I'm ashamed of receiving such a big gift."

Saying so, he did not push away the bank note, but looked at Wang Licheng meaningfully.

"It's only ten thousand taels. Compared with Mr. Hu's dedication to Yongchuan, it's nothing worth mentioning!"

Wang Licheng cupped his hands towards Hu Yan and said: "Master Hu doesn't know something. Ever since that dog official Xia Yan became the magistrate of Yongchuan County, he has tried every means to suppress us and other big clans, and arranged various names to take advantage of us. Not only that, he also favored us everywhere. Those restless people who indulged them to bully us good people, and even encouraged them to rob us of our family property, the crimes committed by this guy in Yongchuan are too numerous to count!"

"Your Excellency removed this harm for us, it's a kindness that can't be equaled by any amount of money! Don't say a mere ten thousand taels, even if it's a hundred thousand taels, you can afford it, my lord!"

"Oh? Brother Wang really thinks so?"

Hu Yan stroked his long beard gently, and he was very helpful to Wang Licheng's words.

But he still didn't reach out to take the bank note, as if he was waiting for Wang Licheng's next words.

"Of course, these are all from the bottom of my heart!"

Wang Licheng replied without hesitation, and then, as if he mentioned a trivial matter inadvertently, he continued in a very relaxed tone: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Hu, when you have free time, you often teach the dog Wang Yi to be a man. Integrity should be the foundation, and you should not do those sneaky things. If you can be favored by the court in the future, worship Wanchuanzong, or even be lucky enough to become an official, you must be like Mr. Hu when you were the magistrate of Yongchuan County. Be honest and upright, be dedicated to the public, and be a good official who is dedicated to the people!

"Since I teach my son this way, I naturally have to set an example and never do those flattering and lying things."

Hearing this, a flash of understanding quietly flashed in Hu Yan's eyes.

Afterwards, he glanced at the banknotes on the table calmly, then raised the wine glass with a smile on his face, and drank down the fine wine that Wang Licheng had just poured.

"Brother Wang's family style is excellent, and this official admires it."

"Thank you for your compliment, my lord."

Wang Licheng looked delighted and stood up to pour wine for Hu Yan.

Hu Yan didn't pick up the wine glass again this time, but pretended to remember, and said after a while: "My son, Wang Yi, has a deep impression on me. I remember that when I left Yongchuan as the county magistrate, he was still an old man. Pianpian handsome young man, is a good-looking talent!"

Wang Licheng said modestly: "Your Excellency, you are absurd. The dog's appearance is not worth mentioning. It's just that you have always been an example of your Excellency. You have always been diligent, studious and tireless. Now you are quite proficient in Confucian classics."

Hu Yan caressed his long beard.

"So, it's a good seedling."

While speaking, he finally stretched out his hand, picked up the bank note on the wine table, and pocketed it.

The movements are extremely natural, obviously he has already been familiar with this kind of thing.

Afterwards, the two chatted happily over the wine, and never mentioned the matter of just now.

As if it was just a casual drunken chat between them and it didn't matter at all.

However, they had a happy chat, but they didn't notice that on their roof, in a gap of tiles that was barely perceptible, a pair of cold eyes quietly watched what happened below.

Especially when Hu Yan put away the banknotes with a natural expression on his face, a cold murderous intent suddenly burst out from those eyes.

The night is getting darker.

The bright moonlight poured on the earth through the dark clouds, adding a bit of desolation to the cold night.

A gust of cold winter wind blew in through the gap in the window sill, and the two who became more and more speculative suddenly shivered.

"Master Hu, it's getting late today, so I won't bother you to rest, let's meet again some other day."

Hu Yan politely asked him to stay, and nodded after Wang Licheng insisted on going back.

"Alright, brother Wang, you should rest early when you go back."

"I'll save it next time."

Wang Licheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will go to the execution ground to see the dog official's head fall with my own eyes. You have to rest well tonight, so as not to miss tomorrow's good show."

Hu Yan smiled, noncommittal.

Wang Licheng said again: "Master Hu, you should also rest early, this time is really hard for you, sir."

Hu Yan nodded slightly.

After a few words of politeness, Wang Licheng stood up, and then left the mansion under the guidance of the butler of the Hu Mansion.

And at the same time as he was leaving, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the roof, and he jumped out of the mansion, and then flew towards Ziji City at high speed.
