Chapter 517 Careful Questioning
Author: Diary of a Home Girl
Yan Laoer quietly entered through the back door of the government office.
After he finished washing and dressing up, he looked like a normal person again.
He walked from the backyard to the front and met Mr. Xue Qi who was about to leave.
Yan Laoer shouted familiarly: "Brother Xue is leaving!"
He really just said hello casually and didn't understand etiquette.
However, Mr. Xue Qi stopped abruptly and stared at him with a very strange look for a long time, which made Yan Laoer tremble.
What's going on? The performance he just performed was discovered? That's not it, we are all in the same group. Even if you find that I am the one setting the pace in the crowd, do you still need to look at me with such a strange look?!
"Brother Yan, I haven't seen you much lately. I miss you, Brother Xue!" Mr. Xue Qi changed his face so quickly that his enthusiasm almost overflowed, and he dragged Yan Laoer to the nearest restaurant.
"Brother Xue, Brother Xue, what are you doing? Let go of me. I can't leave you..." Yan Laoer was so anxious that he sweated and said quickly: "Then Eunuch Li and his party came all the way. We can't
Let people leave as soon as they come. They have to have a meal anyway. I have to keep an eye on it, but I can't do anything bad. When will we two get together? Brother Xue, please let me go quickly.
, Brother, what’s going on at that end!”
Mr. Xue Qi grabbed Yan Laoer and didn't even pinch him with his hands.
If you say you want to drink together, you must not let him run away.
"How can you entertain us any more, and how can it be better than what Fucheng entertains? Is there really something delicious and delicious to drink, how dare you serve it." General Xue Qi knew these things very well, and said in a sincere tone: "We tigers
No matter what the conditions are, everyone can see it, so we can’t pick on this one. It’s not beautiful to really clean up the whole table.
Then who is Eunuch Li? He is a well-known internal official in the palace. He serves in front of the Holy Emperor. He has never seen anything in the world. Just look at him. He will definitely not be able to finish the meal. He will have to leave after a while.
Don’t you believe it? Let’s take a seat facing the street and see for yourself. If the person stays and doesn’t leave, I’ll let you go back. If the person leaves, our brothers will just have a drink while they’re at it. How about that?”
Having said this, Yan Laoer is really curious whether Eunuch Li and his party will leave food.
The two of them found a seat by the window, and Yan Laoer couldn't help but look out.
Mr. Xue Qi skillfully ordered a few dishes to go with the wine and asked the store owner to boil two pots of good wine and bring them over.
As soon as the two dishes were served, there was a commotion in front of the government office.
Master Tian led people to send Eunuch Li and his party out of the government office...
Yan Laoer gave a thumbs up to General Xue Qi: "Brother Xue, I really have you, for sure!"
Mr. Xue Qi said with a proud smile: "What does this mean? You just have little experience. Not to mention that you are from the capital. Even the people in the capital look down on us. They are people who are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas. They look down on me as a simple person. It's normal."
, Hehe, but they have never tasted your craftsmanship, Brother Yan, and if they have tasted it, they will definitely not be able to leave!"
He gave Yan Laoer a small hug.
Yan Laoer smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, and he said modestly: "Brother Xue is joking. We are self-aware, so we just make a home-cooked meal..."
Mr. Xue Qi first poured a glass of wine for Yan Laoer, and then poured a glass for himself: "Brother Yan is very capable. He can be caught at home and outside the house. I am watching with cold eyes. Brother, you are so talented that you can't do anything.
Good food, good at settling accounts, being able to manage things, not to mention how to treat others, and you have to take the scientific examination during the Chinese New Year? Well, it is indeed much more convenient to have an honor. Besides, brother, I also admire your courage. When you meet Beirong,
Don't be timid, dare to go up, you are a man!"
"Here, brother, I'll give you a drink!" Mr. Xue Qi raised his glass.
Yan Laoer quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.
The two of them flashed the bottom of their glasses to each other, looked at each other and laughed.
"Brother Xue, in our relationship, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." Yan Laoer said in his heart, don't fool me, just be happy if you have any questions.
The wine that has been scalded has a long lasting aftertaste.
Mr. Xue Qi took advantage of this drunkenness to simply open up and stop beating around the bush.
"Yan Er, how did you come from Qishan Mansion?" He looked straight at Yan Lao Er and asked.
Yan Laoer was confused, picked up a chopstick of vegetables, and said while eating: "Brother Xue asked me this, so I just walked here. When I came out of my hometown, passed through Leshan Prefecture, and met bandits, we took a detour.
We turned a corner from Xizhou. Otherwise, why would we have entered from Huju? It is fate. If we didn't go through this big circle, I'm afraid we wouldn't be settled in Huju. How could we two brothers still be here?
A chance to drink at the same table..."
"Yes, you met bandits on the way. Please tell Brother Xue specifically, what are the bandits like? Are there many people? Are they fierce?" General Xue Qi asked.
Yan Laoer opened his mouth and came: "There are a lot of people, it's very scary. How can we not be fierce? If not, can we run away? I'm scared to think about it now. Oh, I don't dare to look back and think about it again. I'll have nightmares at night...
…”
Mr. Xue drank a glass of wine by himself and suddenly asked: "Yan Er, have you killed anyone? How many of those bandits have you killed?"
Yan Laoer's expression didn't change, and he didn't even stop picking up the food.
"Brother Xue, why are you interested in bandits again? Are you planning to... suppress the bandits?" He nodded repeatedly and said: "It's time to suppress them, they are too rampant! You dare to stop people on official roads...
By the way, is your contribution to suppressing bandits great? Can it be regarded as a military merit?"
Mr. Xue Qi put down his chopsticks, with a solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Er, don't talk about those useless things. Yan Hushu told me everything. Tell Brother Xue the truth, how many people are there?"
Are they really fully prepared? You have seen what our frontier army looks like. How do you compare with our frontier army brothers?
You don’t have to hide it from me. I’ve seen it since the day you arrived. Everyone in your village has seen blood. What they experienced on the way to escape was not surprising. I didn’t ask, but that group of people...
…Tell me about it, tell it carefully!”
Yan Laoer did not raise his head, but lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
He heard that what General Xue Qi wanted to ask was not the bandits.
"What did my brother tell you?" Yan Laoer asked in a low voice.
General Xue Qi repeated what Yan Huaiwen said to him.
Yan Laoer breathed out.
He raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Xue Qi steadily, and said slowly: "That's all what my brother said. If you ask me to say it, I can't tell you what it is. How can we know if we meet?
When I catch up, it really makes people murmur in their hearts. My brother is always cautious and thinks more. If you think it is a problem, please pay more attention."
Mr. Xue Qi looked at him funny.
This Yan Laoer said he is honest, useless Xiankai and you are digging your heart out, want to ask him something useful, it is really leak-proof.
He drank another glass of wine by himself.
I drank a little too fast and my throat was burning.
"Yan Er, you should hurry up and become an official. It's not going well yet, but you and your brother Xue are talking about officialdom. Yan Hushu is your brother, don't you know what he talks like!"
Yan Laoer smiled coquettishly. He knew very well that his brother would never use two words if he could use one word.
Mr. Xue Qi: "Your brother has made arrangements for me to go to Qishan Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture to deliver official documents on behalf of the Huju government office..."
I plan to go from Xizhou, which is right next to our Huju, so it’s not too far to go around.”
Yan Laoer nodded secretly, seeing is believing, no matter how much he said, it would not be as real as seeing it with his own eyes.
He didn't know why the eldest brother chose this time to reveal the matter, but the eldest brother had always been reliable in doing things, so there must be some deep meaning.
General Xue Qi glanced at Yan Laoer and said: "According to my original intention, I want you to go with me on this trip, but I also know that you will have an exam next year, so I don't want to delay your future.
, my subordinates Hu Da, please help me figure out who to take with me, and also, where did you meet that day and what the situation was, you have to tell me the whole story."
He needs to know more details before he can determine the focus of his observation trip.
Yan Laoer stopped hiding anything and told the details of what happened that day.
The meal lasted for an hour.
