Chapter 103 Chain Reaction

At the beginning, Lu Zhong, Wu Gui and others seemed a little restrained, especially Wu Gui. Since meeting Ye Qing, his heart has been stuck in his throat, sitting there tremblingly, gripping his heart. I wonder if Ye Qing would suddenly attack him.

However, as Ye Qing smiled casually and came without rejection, everyone gradually let go of the restraint at the beginning and dared to pick up the wine glass to report their names and toast Ye Qing to drink.

Of course, this is inseparable from the contributions of Lao Liu. Although Lao Liu knew that starting tomorrow, Ye Qing would be the same as before, and no longer the small imperial guard who walked around the streets or guarded the house.

But after spending time together, he believed from the bottom of his heart that Ye Qing would not be an ungrateful person, and naturally he would not forget them because he was promoted.

Therefore, with the movement of Lao Liu's atmosphere and the relationship with his honor, Ye Qing's rise in status also made him suddenly become important in the eyes of Lu Zhong and others.

From time to time, Lu Zhong or Wu Gui would hold a wine glass to call Lao Liu brothers, and connect with his feelings with his arms around him. In a short while, in the eyes of Aunt San, he almost kowtowed to become sworn brothers with three incense sticks.

It is difficult for Aunt San’s tavern to be as lively as it is today, and the people sitting are all so-called big shots. So when she saw Lao Liu come in, Aunt San, who still has a cold face, had a smile like a flower on her face in a short while.

Whenever he passed by the table, Old Liu would involuntarily stare at Aunt San with his own light and secretly look hard, for fear of missing even a moment.

As night fell and the lights came on, the number of guests in the Aunt San’s Tavern made Aunt San’s smile so hard that she couldn’t stop smiling. Today, not to mention anything else, the rewards from Ye Qing’s table were enough for her to earn in a month.

So I greeted my friend, and she worked very hard. The good wine I bought at the beginning was turned around by Lao Liu's eyes and jars of greeting him on the table. This made Aunt San's heart disease that caused those jars of old wine to be unable to sell for a long time was finally completely cured today.

At the door of Fan Mansion, a man in a black robe was wearing two servants dressed in black shorts behind him, as if he was integrated with the night.

With the rhythmic crackling of the Fan Mansion, the door was opened without a short while. The doorman was startled first, and then nodded and asked the three of them to enter the mansion.

As the side door was closed by the door, the three of them accused him of guilt and hurriedly jogged to inform Fan Niande who was pulled back by the carriage today that a distinguished guest came to the mansion.

In West Lake, Ye Qing's heart-killing words were heard. Fan Niande was so angry that he vomited blood. His face was pale and his eyes were lying on the bed. Two maids next to him were taking care of him with all their hearts and strengths.

Zhu Xi had just visited for a while, comforted Fan Niande for a few words, and then returned to his small courtyard in Fan's mansion.

Standing in the yard, Zhu Xi was thinking solemnly about the words of the imperial guards today in West Lake. Only a slight rapid footsteps were heard from outside.

Curiously, I walked to the entrance of the courtyard and saw three black shadows walking towards the living room where Fan Niande usually greets guests, led by the butler of Fan's house.

Fan Niande is both a businessman and a scholar. He usually works in Fengshan Academy and Jiankang Academy, but he doesn't go there often. So when he sees someone coming to find Fan Niande, a hurried look in Zhu Xi's eyes, and he deeply disagrees with Fan Niande's fame and reputation and the descendants of Fan Li, who claim to be a business saint.

As soon as the three men in black stepped into the hall, they saw Fan Niande's hair messy and pale face. Under the help of two maids, they were wearing a coat and saluting them tremblingly.

"Mr. Fan is...what is wrong?" The leader looked at Fan Niande's sick and powerless look, and hurriedly walked forward to support Fan Niande's arm and asked.

"Oh... don't mention it, Lord Liu, I... Forget it, it's better not to talk about it." Fan Niande saluted Lord Liu with trembling hands, and then slowly sat down on the main seat under the help of Lord Liu and the maid next to him.

The middle-aged man, known as Lord Liu, had a serious look and a deep face. Looking at Fan Niande's pitiful look, he still said softly: "Mr. Fan may as well say it directly. Although he is a low-ranking official, if he can help Mr. Fan, he will never refuse, and he will do his best to seek justice for Mr. Fan."

Fan Niande slowly raised his godless eyes, looked at Lord Liu, shook his head and waved his hand and sighed, "It's hard to say, Lord Liu, I'm afraid that only Lord Liu can help me. I have read the books of sages for life, and have always been open-minded and strict in self-discipline. I have never made enemies with anyone, but... Today, I was scolded by the rogue imperial guard for no reason. Lord Liu, you said, with my identity and status, how could I be a contempt for him as a humble person? So I ended up in this miserable appearance today when I traveled to West Lake this day. Speaking of which, it's all my fault that I'm too tolerant and humble in everything."

The middle-aged man, known as Lord Liu, had a dark face and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. The younger men who followed him also had their eyes stagnated and their expressions were stunned for a moment.

After pondering for a while, Lord Liu nodded and said, "Mr. Fan, the person you are referring to is the one you told me last time, who snatched the maid from your mansion, the imperial guard named Ye Qing?"

A trace of light flashed in Fan Niande's unswerving eyes. A few days ago, after he learned Ye Qing's true identity, he had vaguely talked about this matter with the Lord Liu in front of him. The imperial guard stole a maid from his mansion for no reason. However, due to the identity of the imperial guard, he did not dare to report to the official or stop him. He could only watch the imperial guard, arrogantly injured many of his servants, and snatched away his maid.

"Yes, who else can I have besides the imperial guards? I have always been kind to others, and I have never offended anyone, so he is so arrogant that I am bullied and bullied me one after another." Fan Niande shook his head and sighed with regret that he should not have been so kind.

Then, as if he remembered something, he suddenly said, "By the way, Lord Liu, you are the chief general of the Imperial City Command. I don't know... I wonder if Lord Liu can say something softly to me about the imperial guards. I just say that I will not blame him for the past and just ask him not to bully me again?"

Liu Yungu narrowed his eyes, and the candle not far away became smaller and smaller in his squinted eyes, and then he looked at Fan Niande quietly. Fan Niande mentioned it to himself a few days ago, and the meaning was very clear. As long as the imperial guards could suffer and make him feel relieved, business matters were easy to talk about.

Originally, he also agreed to Fan Niande's request in vain, but who would have thought that today is different from the past. It was only half a month before, and the small imperial guards in Fan Niande's mouth had become his immediate boss.

So Liu Yungu said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Fan."

"Oh? What does Lord Liu mean?" Fan Niande's spirit suddenly returned to his body. Compared to his sickly appearance just now, he seemed to have become a different person, and his eyes became sharper in an instant.

"To be honest with Mr. Fan, I came here today for this matter, but I didn't tell Mr. Fan that there was another solution to this matter." Liu Yungu looked at Fan Niande's bright eyes and paused and said, "Just when Mr. Fan went to West Lake today, the Ministry of War received the imperial edict, and the Imperial City Department also received the document. From tomorrow, the Imperial Army Ye Qing will be the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department."

"What? This... how is this possible? Lord Liu, could it be you who made it wrong?" Fan Niande rubbed and stood up from the chair. Even the maid who served him next to him was frightened by his agile movements.

Liu Yungu watched Fan Niande's coat slowly slipping down without knowing it, and thought for a while and said, "I'm here today, sincerity is still the same as before, but this matter... It seems that I need to make a long-term plan. As the saying goes, the new official takes office as three fires, and he just happens to suppress me. I am just a general of the Imperial City Office, and he is the deputy commander of the Imperial City Office, so this matter will not be as Fan Gong wants for a while."

"This... how is this possible? Is this true? He was really promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department? But... But he was in West Lake all day today, how is this possible? Who helped him promote it?" Fan Niande walked to Liu Yungu step by step regardless of his coat, and murmured.

"I'm not sure about this matter, but I can tell Fan Gong clearly that it is true that Ye Qing was promoted to the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, and there is absolutely no mistake." Liu Yungu also stood up from the chair, then took it from the maid, and the clothes that had just slipped from Fan Niande to the ground, and personally put Fan Niande on his body.

"You all go down. I have something important to discuss with Lord Liu." Fan Niande felt Liu Yungu's skill in wearing clothes and patted his shoulder, so he turned around and walked back to the main seat and sat down, and said in a deep voice with a serious expression.

Fan Niande never thought that the little imperial guard who made him so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and lost all his face in front of a hundred or so literary scholars, became the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department in the blink of an eye!

Ye Qing has always been sober, not to mention that at this time, although Aunt San took out all the most precious wine made from grain, it was not only a bit more mellower than the wine blended in later generations, but it was still much worse in strength. So even though she drank almost the same amount in later generations, Ye Qing was still able to remain sober.

After refusing to send him home, he walked home alone. In the still bustling Aunt's Tavern behind him, two of the nine people were already lying under the table and slept soundly.

Lu Zhong was already drunk and drunk, and he held Lao Liu's hand, saying that he wanted to hand over the ten people in Ye Qing's hand to Lao Liu to lead him later.
