Chapter 208: Linyi's Gate-Thanksgiving Banquet
Chapter 208 Linyi Family Appreciation Banquet
Jin Weiyi pointed at Xie Wangfei's chest: "You are the young master of the Xie family, right? Wait, I will write a letter to report to His Majesty the situation in Linyi when I get back!"
"Your behavior will definitely be punished by His Majesty!"
Xie Wangfei looked up and laughed as if he had heard some big joke. Then he turned cold and flexibly swung the whip at Jin Weiyi's finger pointing at him.
Jin Weiyi quickly retracted his hand, but was still hit by the whip. There were several irregular blood marks on his fingers and the back of his hand, which caused burning pain.
hiss.
Jin Weiyi thought aggrievedly - this must be considered a work-related injury!
Before he had time to scold Xie Wangfei for being such a gentleman but not taking action, he heard him coldly order the servants next to him, his words concise and clear: "Take him away!"
Several tall servants immediately responded and folded Jin Weiyi's arm backwards. Jin Weiyi's arm hurt and he was forced to bend down. He began to panic in his heart: "Hey——"
Did he overact?
Looking at Jiang Yan for help, Jin Weiyi said with full of indignation: "What are you doing?! I am an official of the imperial court. You not only bully the people, but also disrespect the imperial official?!"
"Officer of the imperial court?" Xie Wangfei lowered his head and looked at him, saying word by word, "Are you worthy?"
Maybe it was because the other party was too close, Jin Weiyi couldn't help but blink, and a thought came up in his mind that had nothing to do with it -
Damn it, this guy has a really tall nose.
A little envious.
Jin Weiyi cleared his throat: "What's wrong with me?! I'm the county magistrate appointed by His Majesty!"
Xie Wangfei stood up again and laughed: "It turns out that you are just a county magistrate. With such an arrogant tone, I don't know why I thought you were the emperor's son."
"You are a small official. I will kill you on the spot and no one can do anything to me."
Xie Wangfei waved his hand, and the servants pressed Jin Weiyi to leave.
Jin Weiyi was forced to follow him for a few steps and looked back at Jiang Yan pitifully, beginning to feel less confident.
Jiang Yan didn't let him do this on purpose, and then used the Xie family to avenge Jingshan, right?!
The more Jin Weiyi thought about it, the more he felt that this was too possible. He was instantly filled with grief and anger, his feet were buried on the ground, and his arm was torn in the opposite direction by the servant. However, after weighing the pros and cons, he still did not confess Jiang Yan.
At this moment, someone suddenly stopped them in front.
Jin Weiyi's eyes lit up.
I saw the tea stall owner asking cautiously: "Thank you...Thank you, Master, this gentleman is new to this place and is ignorant. As long as you give him some lectures, he will definitely not do this again."
Jin Weiyi affirmed him repeatedly from the bottom of his heart.
So loyal!
He recognized this brother!
Xie Wangfei didn't give any face, and only slowly uttered two words: "Get out of the way."
The tea stall owner immediately changed sides and got out of the way: "Please!"
Jin Weiyi:……
Okay, he unilaterally announced that the brotherhood that lasted less than a cup of tea was broken!
Woohoo, he wants to go home! He doesn’t want to stay in Linyi anymore!
Jin Weiyi looked at Jiang Yan pitifully.
Feeling Jin Weiyi's eyes on him again, Jiang Yan said loudly: "Master Jin, let's meet in the evening."
Jin Weiyi sniffed and was confused at first... See you tonight, what are you going to see tonight?
Is it possible that Jiang Yan wants to take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to save him? Then there is no need to say it so carelessly, right?
With a skeptical attitude, Jin Weiyi hesitated for a moment, then followed Xie Wang and flew away.
If no one comes to save him, he will sacrifice Jiang Yan with his last breath! Come out! Come out!
Jiang Yan definitely wanted to save Jin Weiyi, but of course he didn't mean to use his own martial arts against all the powerful guards of the Xie family in a life-and-death fight.
If his prediction is correct, the Xie family will hold a banquet at Xie Mansion tonight.
If there's something wrong...then it's up to Jin Weiyi to stay a few more nights.
Anyway, his life will not be in danger for the time being - although Jin Weiyi is only a county magistrate, he is also a county magistrate personally appointed by the emperor. No matter how powerful the Xie family is, they will not slap the emperor in the face like this.
After all, the emperor was not helpless against the local snakes in Linyi. It was just that these aristocratic families controlled the economic and political lifeline of Linyi. Unless it was a last resort, the emperor would not spend too much money to force them to do anything.
But if they really offended the emperor, there would be no good fruits to be gained.
Indeed, as Jiang Yan thought, Jiang Yan received an invitation as soon as he returned to the magistrate's house. The banquet was held at Xie's house that night, and he was the only one invited.
Tsk, the Xie family is really more blatant than he thought.
Jiang Yan naturally went to keep the appointment.
The banquet was full of guests and hosts, and there were plenty of delicacies and delicacies. It didn't look like it was hosted in a hurry.
Mr. Xie naturally sat in the main seat. He did not try to show off his power in vain. He was very enthusiastic when he saw Jiang Yan. He stood up and went to shake his hand: "Master Jiang, you are younger than I thought."
Although Mr. Xie is called "Master", he is only in his forties, a few years older than Jin Weiyi, and is a middle-aged man with a kind face.
Jiang Yan smiled: "You are just as I imagined."
"Oh?" Mr. Xie also had a smile on his face. I don't know if there was a knife in his smile.
"What do I look like in Mr. Jiang's imagination?"
Jiang Yan said eight words: "Spring and Autumn are at their peak, and their demeanor is elegant."
Everyone loves to hear flattery, even false flattery.
Mr. Xie touched his slightly stubbled chin and patted Jiang Yan's shoulder. He was obviously very happy: "I'm not young. This world should belong to you young people."
The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Mr. Xie took Jiang Yan inside: "Come on, come on, sit here."
"You sit down first."
As soon as he sat down, Mr. Xie asked someone to pour Jiang Yan a glass of wine. The liquid in the glass was clear and transparent. If it weren't for the slight bubbles, people who didn't know it would have thought it was white water.
Jiang Yan swirled the wine glass, and the wine in the glass rippled slightly, gradually overlapping with the shadow of the water in the morning tea stall.
Mr. Xie smiled and said: "This is a good wine. It is unique to Linyi. It is called Gao Luchun. The raw materials are acorns, dates and sorghum. The water used to make the wine is the dew collected before dawn on the highest mountain in Linyi during the white dew period of the previous year.
, brew it and bury it in the ground and take it out the next year. Lord Jiang must have never drunk it."
Old water is not afraid of diarrhea.
Jiang Yan took a sip, and the taste was sweet and mellow, but not as good as plain water.
But when he put down the wine glass, the corners of his lips raised: "It is indeed a good wine."
Mr. Xie nodded: "How does it compare to the wine Mr. Jiang drank before? The wine in the capital should be better than the wine in Linyi."
"Whether the wine in the capital is good or not is a matter of opinion." Jiang Yan said with a smile, "But you may not know my situation in the capital. No matter how good the wine is, it will be tasteless in the mouth."
There is something in Mr. Xie's words, and Jiang Yan also means something: "Now that I am lucky enough to be the county magistrate, I don't expect to achieve anything, I just hope to sit in this position safely."
Chapter completed!
