Chapter 1135: Chaos Eleven
Hearing Hong Chengsong's notice, Chen Hengan immediately rushed over and arranged some secret guards around him.
Wan Zi Qianhong was once the main source of funds for the Secret Guard, but with the development of these years, Secret Guard has grown step by step. With the help of the Beijiang Association, its business in various places is booming, and both manpower and material resources are already quite strong.
Chen Hengan arrived here as soon as possible, and he did not value Wan Zi Qianhong. For the current secret guards, Wan Zi Qianhong is just a relatively expensive industry. Even if it is lost, it will not be too much of a shake of the secret guards.
Chen Hengan values the two women Xia Zhi and Chen Shishi, and the relationship between them and Li Xun is almost semi-public.
"It seems that nothing will happen today."
Liu Xie came to Chen Heng'an's table and sat down.
Chen Hengan glanced at Liu Xie and said in a low voice: "Ge Qingfeng is a bastard, we should not be careless."
Liu Xie nodded: "If he doesn't leave, we won't leave either."
The two obviously had no common topics, and they each started drinking silently.
Life cannot be smooth sailing. You have to go through something. If you don’t look for trouble, you will also find you.
Although Chen Hengan and Liu Xie are still brothers and still have feelings, many things happen when they happen, and they will never be able to go back.
At this time, Hong Chengsong came over, nodded at Liu Xie, then bowed to Chen Hengan, and called the commander.
Chen Hengan looked at Hong Chengsong and said, "I heard that those rangers were all wearing weapons. Why did you let them enter Wan Zi Qianhong with weapons?"
Hong Chengsong said: "Ge Qingfeng is crazy and comes from a family. I dare not stop him easily, for fear of angering him and causing conflicts."
Chen Hengan said coldly: "Rules are rules. What kind of virtue does this man have when he drinks alcohol? Don't you know? Without weapons, it's easy to hold them. With weapons, it's easy to see blood."
Hong Chengsong said: "I'll go in now and take away their weapons."
Chen Hengan pointed to the second floor: "Men are better off with face, especially in front of women. If you go to them for weapons now, you will fight immediately and ruin the business here. You can explain to your lord."
"My subordinates are incompetent, please be punished."
Hong Chengsong lowered his head with a flushed face.
Chen Hengan thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Send more people to guard me on the second floor."
“Yes, commander.”
Hong Chengsong responded, then turned around and left.
Ge Qingfeng's alcohol tolerance is very poor.
Zhao Shaolin and others obviously disliked Ge Qingfeng, but they were not easy to show it clearly. Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the Youzhu Courtyard and the wine and food were served, Zhao Shaolin immediately pulled Ge Qingfeng to drink with the name of reminiscing about the past. His purpose was very obvious, and he wanted to get Ge Qingfeng drunk earlier and then send him away. He was here, and everyone was not interested at all.
"Come on, let's drink it."
Ge Qingfeng's face was flushed, and he picked up the wine glass, and he was obviously drunk.
Zhao Shaolin said: "Qingfeng, you are drunk, go back early, we will get together again if you have time."
"This is where you follow me, keep drinking."
Ge Qingfeng poured the wine into his mouth, shouted loudly, and continued to drink.
Zhao Shaolin shook his head, picked up the wine glass and drank it. All his interest tonight was lost by Ge Qingfeng.
"You guys drink first, I'll go and make it convenient."
Ge Qingfeng urinated anxiously, said, then got up and left the room.
After Ge Qingfeng left, Zhao Shaolin muttered: "It's so unlucky. Why did you meet such a person and you have no interest at all."
Sitting aside, a young man who looked only twenty-five or twenty-six years old said, "Brother Shaolin, since we have lost interest, let's go back early. It would be uncomfortable to sit with such a person."
"Xia Heng, you are about to get married, and it may be difficult for you to have another chance to come to such a place in the future."
Zhao Shaolin said.
The young man was named Xia Heng. His father was a former chief political affairs officer, Xia Zhun, the chief censor, and the Xia family was also one of the family.
Xia Heng is Xia Zhun's youngest son. He is already engaged to Li Zhong's eldest daughter Li Qingying and will get married at the end of the year at the latest.
The Xia family has always adopted a neutral attitude in politics, belonging to the Qingliu faction and easily disagreed with the political struggles in the court.
In the seventh year of Chengping, the Second Longyou War broke out. The war was very unfavorable at first. Liu Zhigu, the prime minister who was supervising the war in front, was implicated and was dismissed from his post as prime minister. Zhao Zhi intended to let Xia Zhu take over, but was politely rejected by Xia Zhu. In the same year, Xia Zhu, who was 64 years old, took the initiative to ask for retirement. Zhao Zhi did not make things difficult for him and asked him to retire.
The marriage between Xia Heng and Li Qingying was matched by Zhao Zhi. Everything has two sides. Among the many aristocratic families, there are hardliners, ambitious families, and of course the Qingliu school. Zhao Zhi first used the Wang family to reconcile the conflicts between the imperial power and the aristocratic family group and serve as a bridge of communication. After the Wang family was suppressed, they naturally had to use a new aristocratic family to replace the role of the Wang family.
Zhao Zhi chose the Xia family, so there was a political marriage between Xia Heng and Li Qingying. Li Zhong did not agree with this in his heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, he finally agreed to the marriage.
Xia Heng is gentle, elegant, handsome, and knowledgeable. In the circle of literati, his knowledge has been praised by many people.
However, good knowledge is one aspect, and being an official is another aspect. Xia Heng was mediocre as an official and had very average abilities. He entered the career of the government at the age of 20 and worked as a county magistrate in the local area for five or six years. His political achievements were average and he never improved. Of course, his father Xia Zhun suppressed his son and refused to move. If his ability was not good, then do some stable things.
Zhao Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Brother Wen Chi, I heard that your wife, who has not passed away, also has martial arts skills. If you don't take advantage of the situation before getting married, you will come up with flowers in the future. Even if you have this intention, you may not have the courage."
After telling this joke, both Zhao Shaoyuan and Zhao Shaolin both laughed.
Xia Heng's face turned a little red and he coughed twice: "Li Youxiong is full of martial arts, Qingying has some martial arts skills, and there is nothing to make a fuss about."
Strangely, Xia Heng has a gentle and weak personality and a handsome face. In the early years, many families had a prominent family background and took the initiative to come to play matchmakers. So many women from noble births were selected for Xia Heng, but Xia Heng didn't like any of them. In the eighth year of Chengping, Zhao Zhi built a bridge for the Xia family and Li Zhong, seeking a political marriage.
Who would have thought that when Xia Heng saw Li Qingying, he was moved at first sight. After returning to the place, he often wrote letters to Li Qingying to express his admiration, but Li Qingying was quite cold to Xia Heng.
A few years ago, Wan Zi Qianhong had a rapid development momentum, and the whole city of Fengjing was popular. The same industry had no business, which naturally attracted some people's jealousy and revenge. At that time, Yi Zhao Shaocheng of Jingzhao Prefecture had a bad idea and secretly took action, preparing to get rid of Wan Zi Qianhong, and even had a big fight with Li Xun.
The final result was that Zhao Shaocheng was severely punished and demoted to the local area to be the governor, but has not been transferred back yet.
Interestingly, Zhao Shaolin and Zhao Shaoyuan are Zhao Shaocheng's younger brothers. They did not hate Li Xun because of their brother, but instead were regular guests of all kinds. Zhao Shaolin is Chen Shishi's main suitor. They have been pursuing for many years, which once touched Chen Shishi. However, in the past two years, Chen Shishi has become a little cold to Zhao Shaolin, and I don't know why.
