Chapter 698 Admiral of the Navy
He then chuckled and said: "Master Ge, you don't know. I have known his father-in-law Li Cunzhi very well before and we are both brothers. Shouldn't he call me uncle? Haha..."
Master Ge wiped his sweat again. It was better to know less about the secrets between these superiors. However, the Admiral claimed to be Chen Tianhua's uncle. It was hard to say whether he would admit this account or not.
This imperial minister is young, he is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and is a second-grade civil servant, but he is actually older than the admiral who is a second-grade military attaché.
Starting from the Song Dynasty, all dynasties have emphasized civil servants over military officers. In the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, third-grade civil servants could restrain second-grade military officers, or even first-grade military officers.
So, is this Chen Tianhua someone easy to mess with?
"Yes, yes, Junmen is Chen Qinchen's elder, and he has to teach Cui Mingyi how to behave for Lord Chen. Is there any reason to burn bridges across the river? Otherwise, Lord Junmen will cut off his salt road and let him
As he continues to cry, I'm afraid that Imperial Commissioner Chen won't let him go either."
Na Zan patted his belly and laughed loudly and said: "That makes sense. We won't let this guy go through blood this time. We will definitely not let him go. Master Ge, go and make arrangements. We will go to the banquet later."
"Yes!" Master Ge agreed, then went out, wiped his sweat, and said in his heart:
Cui Mingyi, Cui Mingyi, you asked me to help you, but I did it for you. These five hundred silver dollars were not given to you in vain, but after the Admiral arrives, if he makes you look bad, you can't blame me.
Hearing the strange laughter and the coquettish voice of the concubine coming from the next room, Master Ge ran away quickly.
He knew that this admiral was very lecherous. Although he was too fat to be able to do what he wanted, he just liked this and paid attention to the atmosphere of being surrounded by stars.
At dusk, the street where Yipinxian Restaurant was located was closed and cleared. The entire security battalion of the Admiral's Mansion was dispatched and stood far away along the street.
The originally lively street suddenly became quiet. Except for Yipinxian Restaurant, the other businesses here were complaining. Everyone knew that Mr. Nazan was going to Yipinxian Restaurant, but with the street closed and martial law, the other businesses had no business.
.
The frowning shopkeepers all had dark faces and ordered their servants to close the shop, because they all knew the bad character of this military man, and they would definitely not leave the restaurant without having fun until midnight.
, therefore, the store owners consciously closed their doors and did not ask for trouble.
Looking at this splendid scene, Chen Tianhua, who was sitting upstairs at Yipin Fresh Wine, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "This Lord Admiral is really a grand splendid person. Is this like the emperor going on a tour and actually having to clean the streets?"
The entire Yipinxian Restaurant was fully booked, and there were no outsiders inside or outside the wing. Cui Mingyi seemed to be getting bolder. He said with a smile:
"Lord Chen, you don't know something. Isn't this military sect the local emperor on Chongming Island? He has always said that he is the same. He can do even more outrageous things, let alone street closures."
Fei Ge, the chief guard, couldn't help but ask: "If he does this, is it possible that all the other parents and officials are blind and don't care? No one takes a copy of him?"
Cui Mingyi laughed and said:
"Sir, Captain, on Chongming Island, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The local officials are only in the seventh rank. They don't even have the power to hand out memorials, and there are no senior officials to come down. Of course, Nazan covers the sky here with one hand. He holds the military power. Who dares to touch it?"
Not a hair on his face? Besides, Nazan is a member of the Manchu Qing banner, a relative of the emperor, and he is rich. As long as he is not stupid enough to raise the flag to rebel, who cares about him?"
Fei Ge and the other guards all nodded in agreement.
While everyone was talking, the door of the wing rang softly, and a group of women holding musical instruments filed in. They lined up and bowed to everyone. The leading woman smiled coquettishly and said:
"Hey, Mr. Cui, we haven't invited our Cuihonglou to support us for a while. Today is a rare occasion. Did you remember that the girls are here?"
After Cui Mingyi heard this, he laughed and said: "Cui has not been back to the island for a while. As soon as he comes back, he hastily invited Miss Hongyue. The one we invited today is the military sect. Miss Hongyue must show her true skills."
Come on."
As he spoke, he turned to Chen Tianhua and said, "Sir, this is the Hongyue girl from Cuihonglou on the island. She is the number one here and is a great singer and dancer!"
Chen Tianhua nodded and glanced at the Hongyue girl. Let's not talk about whether she is good at singing and dancing. Just looking at her appearance, she is far from the top star on the beach.
He was not interested so he turned back to look downstairs. Not to mention Xu Yunyuan, she didn't even take a look.
Hongyue saw Cui Mingyi talking to Chen Tianhua with an expression that looked like that of a young boy talking to his master. She couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart, thinking to herself that this young and handsome official, some kind of god, could actually make a rich man.
Master Cui is so humble?!
She glanced at Fei Ge, who was watching her warily, and Yu Yang, another bodyguard, and her heart started to feel frightened again.
These two guards were so murderous that they must have smelled the smell of blood. The woman in the entertainment venue did have a poisonous eye, and she noticed something was wrong at a glance.
Chen Tianhua didn't care what Hongyue discovered. He came here tonight to meet Nazan, which was considered a matter of etiquette. However, he behaved very low-key. When he came to the restaurant, he didn't wear court clothes, but wore a silk and satin patchwork suit.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from downstairs. It seemed that Nazan and the others had arrived. When Chen Tianhua casually looked around, his eyes widened. It was not that he had never seen a fat man before, but he had never seen such a tall and tall man.
Fat.
The brigade of soldiers and horses surrounded a carriage downstairs. The person who got off the carriage looked like a normal person, almost two meters tall, with a belly as big as a casserole and weighing almost three hundred kilograms. He looked like a bear.
Seeing the humble attitude of the people around him, that person must be Nazan.
"Is this stupid guy Nazan?" Chen Tianhua turned around and asked in a low voice, disgusted and disrespectful.
"Yes, sir!" Cui Mingyi leaned forward and said, "I have to go down and pick him up, otherwise, he will be unhappy again later." After accusing Chen Tianhua, Cui Mingyi hurriedly ran down.
The red moon on one side was not far away. When she heard Chen Tianhua's question, she became even more surprised.
This young man actually called Lord Nazan a big fool, and he said it very naturally and fluently. None of the people who came with him, including Cui Mingyi, had any special expressions. This shows that the identity of this young man can be
Unusual!
"Where is this young master from? But he has a very tight face?" Hong Yue walked towards Chen Tianhua with a smile, but just as she took a step, Fei Ge stopped her with his hand and said coldly: "Go aside,
Don't come near."
