Turbulent Times Chapter 137: Strange Drunk
(Thank you very much for the generosity of 'Local Muge' for the five thousand coins.)
Speaking of this, Xu Jingzong paused, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "If the Duke of the State takes action against Wang Junlin at this time, no matter how beautiful the thing is, even if there is no evidence that the Duke of the State did it, it will Several of you will be more or less hostile to the Duke because of this matter. Therefore, I believe that after this period of time, especially when Wang Junlin has conflicts with others again, it is best for the Duke to take action again."
Yang Su nodded, but didn't speak, this Xu Jingzong was smart, he was smart, and his eyes were good, but he didn't have enough grasp of people's hearts. The reasons Xu Jingzong said are all true, and they are indeed scruples. But the problem is his identity, if there is no reasonable reason not to take action against Wang Junlin at this time, the world will think that he is afraid of Wang Junlin.
Living to their age and status, sometimes face is more important than anything else. Qiu Rui had an enmity with Wang Junlin at the beginning, but it was actually out of face. Qiu Rui didn't care if the concubine family of a concubine lived or died. It was said that he was afraid of Wang Junlin. As a result, some of the following things came into being. After the accumulation of developments, the two sides are now in the same situation, even to the point of life and death.
Therefore, the saying "A man lives with a face, a tree lives with his skin" is not just a casual saying.
Another staff member named Zhou Tianyou rolled his eyes, took a careful look at Yang Su, and said, "Duke! I just got the news that Wang Junlin has now been conferred the title of supervisor by His Majesty. This position Although it is not high, it represents the Yushitai, no matter who it is, in the position of Duke, it is not suitable to take action against a supervisory censor at this juncture."
After Yang Su heard this, he nodded sincerely. The satisfaction on his face had already been noticed by other staff members. At this moment, they still didn't understand what Yang Su meant, and they all expressed their agreement with what Zhou Tianyou said. And each of them exchanged words, and said what Zhou Tianyou said again. And they all said that this reason will be spread out tomorrow, absolutely no one will say that the Duke is afraid of Wang Junlin, that poisonous warrior.

"Hou Ye, the handle of Zheng Guang'an has fallen into the hands of the humble staff, and according to the plan, he has made an appointment with Yang Feng, the eldest grandson of Duke Yue, and Yang Xiong, the second son, to meet at the Universiade at a quarter of this afternoon. A banquet in a restaurant. The private room I booked happened to be next door to the private room that Qiu Fu and Yu Wenjin had booked." In three days, Shen Guang made Zheng Guangan owe him fifty thousand taels of silver, and mortgaged his mansion .
"You did a good job, but just to be on the safe side, let Zheng Guangan swallow this poison pill beforehand. Only in this way can we be sure." From the porcelain bottle, a black pill was poured out and handed to Shen Guang.
Shen Guang took it with both hands, carefully put away the poison pill, and asked after a little hesitation: "Master Hou, the medicinal effect of this poison pill...is there an antidote?"
Wang Junlin smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing to do within twelve hours. If you don't take the antidote after twelve hours, you will feel itchy all over your body and have diarrhea. But as long as you clean your stomach and intestines, you will be fine. thing."
Shen Guang smiled and said, "Master Hou is merciful, I understand the lowly position."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "It's not that I'm kind, but that this poison pill has other more important magical functions. Besides, afterward, whether it's Changping Palace, Duke of Yue, or He Ruo's family, Even finding out the truth of the matter is useless.”
Shen Guang took a deep breath, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, do you have other arrangements?"
Wang Junlin said somewhat inscrutablely: "Yang Feng and Qiu Fu are both stable characters. If you want them to fight, you need other arrangements."

Universiade Restaurant is a place where dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital often come to eat. It is also one of the largest restaurants on Beifang Main Street and is quite famous in the capital.
The restaurant has three floors, the first and second floors are the lobby and ordinary single rooms, it is close to dinner time, and it is full of people, the business is very good, the lobby on the first floor and the second floor are full of diners, and there are loud noises one after another.
The third floor is the expensive guest room, which is full of boxes and private rooms, but it is very quiet. In addition to the main entrance, there is a special staircase next to the gate to go up directly. The decoration is luxurious and the price is very expensive. Not counting meals, only The room fee is 100 yuan per hour, so the people who dine here are either rich or expensive.
The noble guest rooms on the third floor are separated by a corridor, and there are two elegant rooms on the left and right, both of which are very well-furnished. Tang and Deyi Pavilion.
The interior of Chunfeng Hall is magnificently furnished, with Persian carpets from the Western Regions, a couch made of high-quality golden nanmu, a white jade screen, gold bowls and silver chopsticks, gorgeous Sichuan brocade hanging on the windows, and four other beauties. The accompanying barmaid.
At this time, Zheng Guang'an, who was depressed, had already sat down in the Chun Nei Hall. Just now, Shen Guang forced him to take a poison pill, which completely dispelled the luck that he planned to do small tricks when meeting the Yang brothers. psychology.
"Don't be nervous, look, behave and speak as usual. If Yang Feng and Yang Xiong are aware of something in advance because of your abnormal behavior, don't blame me for telling the fifty thousand taels of silver you owe and other scandals. , of course the antidote will not be given to you again." Shen Guang, who was dressed as Zheng Guangan's guard at the door, walked in and whispered in his ear.
Hearing this, Zheng Guang'an couldn't help but panic in his heart. His life and wealth were at stake, so he had to put all his energy into doing this well. With a light cough, the depression and gloom on his face gradually disappeared, returning to his usual normal appearance.
Shen Guang returned to the door with his head down, and continued to stand without speaking.
Not long after, brothers Yang Feng and Yang Xiong arrived with four guards. They didn't look at Shen Guang who bowed his head and cupped his fists to salute them at the door. They pushed open the door of Chunfeng Hall and walked in. According to the custom, Shen Guang took the four guards of the Yang family downstairs to eat.
"Guang'an, why did you invite our brother to dinner suddenly today?" After the three met each other, Yang Feng asked casually.
Zheng Guangan said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, Susu and I have been at odds recently. The relationship between the two brothers and Susu has always been close. Today, I have a banquet for the two brothers. I want the two brothers to turn around and help the younger brother." Talk to Susu in private, don't be so tight with my little brother!"
When Yang Feng and Yang Xiong heard this, there was a hint of sarcasm on their faces. The former said, "Guang'an! I'm not talking about you for my brother. My sister has always been gentle. If he takes care of you, it must be You have done it..."
At this time, Qiu Fu and He Ruojin went upstairs together and entered the Deyi Pavilion next to it. Compared with the Chunfeng Hall, the Deyi Pavilion has a quiet and elegant style, without rich and colorful decorations, only two couches and a door There is a screen, and there is a small table by the window. There is a high-quality Guqin on the table, and the walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings of celebrities. It is a good place for poets and scholars to drink and chat.
Qiu Fu and He Ruojin entered the room, and two maids took off their robes for them. After Qiu Fu ordered the food and wine, he waved the four maids away.
At this time, a man with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes came up downstairs, holding two incense burners to soothe the nerves, with green smoke curling up and sandalwood filling the air, he knocked on the door and placed one in Chunfeng Hall and Deyi Pavilion.
During this process, the noble gentlemen in the two private rooms didn't look at the guy directly, but felt that the service of the Universiade Restaurant was getting better and better. The root costs ten hanging coins.
It's just that as the cups of the two private rooms staggered, apart from Zheng Guang'an who took the poison pill in advance, whether it was Yang Feng and Yang Xiong in the Spring Breeze Hall, or Qiu Fu and He Ruojin in the Deyi Pavilion , they seem to be more prone to getting drunk than before, and their self-control ability is much worse than before, for example, their voices are getting louder.
The sound insulation between the two elegant rooms in Dayun Building is actually not bad, but when the voices on both sides get louder and louder, the voices next to each other can be heard clearly.
But when Yang Feng and Yang Xiong's voices became louder and louder, Zheng Guang'an suddenly hissed, indicating that Yang Feng and Yang Xiong, who were dizzy and always feeling hallucinations in front of them, should stop talking and be quiet listening to the conversation next door.
"Hahaha...Brother Qiu, the deed brother of the restaurant in Beicheng is not welcome."
"You're welcome, little brother He Ruo. This time, I'd like to ask you for your help. That's why Wang Junlin's poisonous man clashed with the Duke of Yue's mansion and formed a deadly enmity. And the restaurant in Beicheng was originally the restaurant that our Qiu family promised to He Ruo. Little brother's reward."
"Brother Qiu, I also feel that I have done a good job in this matter. You said that Yang Rong is really an idiot. After being guided by me skillfully, he clashed with that poisonous man Yang Junlin at the gate of the city, and Wang Rong Not to mention that little thief in Junlin and the Duke of Yue's government took over the enmity, he was cut off by Wang Junlin in front of his own gate, such an idiot, I used to call him brother and brother, it's really embarrassing!"
"Ah! It's just a pity, that old thief Yang Su is extremely treacherous, he didn't get rid of Wang Junlin, but let this little thief cause my father to lose his official position..."
Under normal circumstances, Qiu Fu and He Ruojin would not say these words out loud, and would lower their voices even if they did, but today they themselves did not notice how loudly they spoke. , Yang Xiong and Yang Feng could hear clearly. After hearing this, the Yang brothers' eyes gradually turned red and their faces became crazy. One of them stood up suddenly holding a stool, opened the door and rushed out.
Zheng Guang'an stood up and didn't follow him. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. It's okay for Yang Xiong to be irritable. loud voice.
Also, I don't feel anything at all, but Yang Xiong and Yang Feng seem to be in a daze of drunkenness.
All of this felt strange, and Zheng Guangan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
