In the hall, Xian Yu Zhongtong was wearing a purple robe and a gold bag, holding a blue and white tea cup in his hand, the tea lid gently tapping the rim of the cup.

Seeing him leisurely drinking tea, Li Jiuzhou walked in and reported: "Xianyu Gong, the Yongyangfang arson scene has been inspected."

Xianyu Zhongtong put down the tea cup and looked up at him, "What does Li Sizheng think we should do?"

He is really an old fox, putting all the problems on a newcomer like himself. Li Jiuzhou has already thought about it, "I believe that this case should be slowed down and there should be no rush to trial."

It seemed that he had not thought about what to do. Xianyu Zhongtong guided him: "You must already know that this case is related to Wang Qing. I am just worried. Firstly, it is hard to settle the matter. Secondly, Wang Qing did it unintentionally. This is

No matter how the case is handled, it is inevitable that there will be objections."

This really hits the point.

But he spoke vaguely.

Xianyu Zhongtong not only wanted to excuse Wang Qing, but was also afraid of offending the public.

He wanted to punish Wang Qing, but he was also afraid of offending Wang Qing.

He, Jing Zhaoyin, knew that this case was difficult, so Li Jiuzhou was not so anxious.

Then he started playing Tai Chi with him and said, "I should obey Mr. Xianyu's instructions and handle this case well. Please give me some time, Mr. Xianyu."

Xianyu Zhongtong saw that he answered sincerely and was more submissive, so he said: "I am old and my retirement is only a matter of days. If you perform well, I will recommend you to the imperial court for the post of Jing Zhaoyin in the future."

Xianyu Zhongtong deceived Li Jiuzhou that he was a newcomer, and assumed that he did not know the ways of officialdom, so he made a big deal for him.

Wang Fei was originally a disciple of Li Linfu, and since he had gained power recently, he did not take Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong seriously.

Several people are harmonious on the surface, but secretly they are intrigues.

Although the Yongyangfang arson case could be used as a handle against Wang Zhi, due to his rising power, even Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong did not dare to act rashly.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuzhou understood the identity of the old guy Xianyu Zhongtong and knew that he was an old man. He simply pretended to be stupid and said, "Thank you very much for the promotion, Xianyu Gong."

After exploring Xianyu Zhongtong's background, Li Jiuzhou already had a map in his mind.

This case that others think they should avoid is a good thing for me.

Xianyu Zhongtong raised his voice: "Remember to go to the banquet on time in the evening, I will be waiting for you in the mansion."

Li Jiuzhou sighed to himself, it was really tiring to try to get into the muddy waters of the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.

The most important thing right now is to be patient and fool these old foxes first.

If you want to achieve something, you have to get to the top first. If you want to get to the top, you have to please them.

Xianyu's house is very lively.

Xianyu Zhongtong ordered people to open the middle gate to welcome the visitors.

It was said that they were welcoming Li Jiuzhou, but in fact, most of the people he welcomed were people of high status.

In the pool, a group of veiled dancers twisted their waists and danced gracefully.

The pipa players, erhu players, and flute players nearby were all performing vigorously, which made the whole hall burst into applause.

"How come Erlang has arrived just now? Please take a seat." Xian Yu Zhongtong, with a smile on his face, went out to welcome a handsome young man in person.

The young man seemed to have an extraordinary background, and everyone at the table boasted about his admiration.

Li Jiuzhou felt numb from what he heard, so he mixed a glass of grape wine with another glass of white wine, shook it evenly, and started drinking by himself.

When the young man saw it, he felt it was strange, so he came over and sat next to him.

Xianyu Zhongtong was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why he didn't sit down. He then introduced: "This is the new Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Jiuzhou."

The young man cupped his hands and said, "Li Shaoyin's drinking method is quite different."

"This is Hongluqing, Yang Erlang." Xianyu Zhongtong introduced again.

Hongluqing Yang Biao, the second son of Yang Guozhong, was in charge of foreign affairs.

It is said that one time when Yang Guozhong was away on business, his wife Pei became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

After Yang Guozhong came back, he asked Mrs. Pei what was going on. Mrs. Pei said delicately: "My husband is traveling far away because I miss you so much, so I dreamed of you and me getting together, and..."

After hearing these words, Yang Guozhong was not worried but happy: "This is the result of husband and wife missing each other."

The son born to Mr. Pei was Yang Biao.

Yang Bing grabbed Li Jiuzhou, who was about to salute, and said, "You and I are similar in age, so there is no need to be cautious."

Li Jiuzhou stopped being polite and raised his glass, "Would you like a drink?"

Yang Bing was a cheerful person. He took a sip from the wine glass, pursed his lips and said, "Good wine."

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Xianyu Zhongtong went to greet other guests.

Li Jiuzhou laughed loudly, "Yang Qing is a magnanimous person."

"To be honest with you, Mr. Li, as a Honglu Qing, I usually make friends from foreign countries, and my behavior is a bit unruly. Don't take it personally."

In fact, Li Jiuzhou has long been impatient with the cumbersome etiquette in ancient times. Yang Biao has seen a lot of the world, and behaves somewhat openly, like a modern person.

The two of them started chatting and had common topics.

Li Jiuzhou also held it back for a long time, talking about world geography and the history of various countries.

Hearing this, Yang Biao's eyes widened: "I don't expect Li Jun to be so knowledgeable at such a young age."

Yang Biao learned many foreign languages ​​and showed off in front of Li Jiuzhou.

It's still ancient and modern. Although Korean is different, I can barely understand it, and Li Jiuzhou can also add some words.

This aroused Yang Biao's interest even more. This Yang Biao was not greedy for money or power, but was only interested in foreign customs.

Chat and drink happily.

The banquet was over and both of them were half drunk.

Yang Biao sent his subordinates to go ahead and asked Li Jiuzhou to ask what the world map looked like.

Li Jiuzhou said, "Why don't you come under the house and I'll paint it for you to see."

Yang Bing was extremely happy, and the two of them came to Li Jiuzhou's residence.

Li Jiuzhou asked Zhang Xiaoluo to pour tea, fetch pen and ink, draw a crooked map of the world, and introduce it to Yang Biao.

After all, Yang Bing was an ancient man. He was taught a lot of modern knowledge by Li Jiuzhou and was so surprised that he repeatedly praised him for his profound knowledge.

It was late at night, and the spring night was slightly cool. Yang Biao sneezed a few times, rubbed his head, and said he was dizzy.

Seeing that he must have caught a cold, Li Jiuzhou said: "I think it was because of the wind after drinking that I felt cold, so I might as well rest for a while."

After thinking about it, he only had two beds, so he let him stay in his bed for one night while he stayed outside for one night.

So they took him to the room and said, "Yang Qing feels cold, so he shouldn't catch the cold anymore. He's reluctant to stay here for a while. He should be fine after taking a rest."

Yang Bing also felt tired and thanked him. He entered the room and was about to lie down when he looked up and caught a glimpse of the painting beside the bed. He was shocked and asked, "How could Li Jun have such a painting?"

Seeing him looking at the painting his wife gave him with strange eyes, Li Jiuzhou asked: "What's wrong with this painting?"

Yang Bao carefully touched the painting and confirmed that it was authentic, and said: "This is Wu Daozi's "Mrs. Guo Guo's Flower Appreciation". It was specially commissioned by the saint in the past to be painted for Mrs. Guo. It is the only one in the world, so why is it so beautiful?"

At your place?"

Li Jiuzhou opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
