"It's rare that the Privy Councilor allows us to drink as much as we want today. If we don't drink without getting drunk, we will be disrespectful to the Privy Councilor."
Niu Gao raised his wine glass as he spoke, looked at Yu Junjie, and said: "I have been taken care of by Mr. Yu many times in the days since I came to the south. Come, let's drink to Mr. Yu."
Yu Junjie hurriedly stood up and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare. How could Yu be so virtuous and capable? How dare you ask General Niu to propose a toast? Let Yu propose a toast to you all."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
The drunkard stood up again, put a hand on Yu Junjie's shoulder, and said: "Xiaojie, don't you know how to drink?"
Yu Junjie asked curiously: "Why did you say this?"
The drunkard said: "The toasts have to come one by one. It's very unkind of you to toast so many glasses of wine with one glass of wine."
"this---."
"What the heck, you are the youngest here, so of course you have to toast everyone a glass of wine first! But don't worry, I am definitely not bullying you." The drunkard pointed towards Ma Qiao and said, "That's it.
My apprentice Ma Qiao, I will also ask each of him to toast a glass of wine later."
On this wine table, it is definitely the home court of a drunkard, although his drinking capacity is indeed not very good.
When Niu Gao heard this, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he thought, if Maqiao drinks it to appetize, then we must not drink it all.
Ma Qiao was unhappy, because if the drunkard said this, he would become a junior, which he couldn't accept the most. You must know that he can regard the cultivator as a junior. He glanced at it and said lightly: "
Drunkard, when did you dare to stand and talk at this wine table? Maybe it's because they don't know you and don't know your drinking capacity."
boom!
As he was speaking, he suddenly put a jar of wine in front of him and said in a powerful and domineering manner: "If anyone stands and speaks, he must drink this jar with me first."
Niu Gao and Yu Junjie sat down immediately.
The drunkard grabbed the man's head and said, "Xiaoqiao, after all, I am also your master!" Even so, he still sat down.
"If you weren't my master, I would have tied you to a tree long ago." Ma Qiao said angrily.
Many generals here have never had a drink with Ma Qiao. They feel that Ma Qiao is too arrogant. They are also tough men. There are a few ungrateful ones who are ready to compete with Ma Qiao.
Niu Gao quickly winked at them, as if to say, you bunch of ungrateful guys, how dare you compete with this guy for drinking. You are crazy, don't embarrass yourself here. I saw this master and apprentice fighting again.
, I thought to myself, don’t let them ruin the important matter of my privy envoy. He quickly smoothed things over and said: "Let’s not talk about these things for now. It is fate that the few of us can get together here. Let’s drink this cup together."
The drunkard hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope and said: "The calf can still talk, come on, come on, talk after you do it, talk after you do it."
calf?
The smile on Niu Gao's face became a little stiff. After all, these are all my subordinates. Can you always give me some face?
"Dry!"
As soon as the wine is drunk, the more people talk, the more they talk. The more wine they drink, the more they drink.
Two generals who thought they had a good drink capacity set their sights on Maqiao and surrounded it. They called it the first time they met and had a drink.
One cup?
Ma Qiao doesn't have this habit, so he wants to drink, right? In exchange for larger bowls, each of you will fill three large bowls first, and he will put six large bowls in front of him, so as not to take advantage of you.
He really wasn't doing this just to show off. Then again, whenever he stopped showing off, this was his nature.
He is like an addict. Drinking this small amount is not enough for him. He must drink this way to feel good. At least three large bowls are required. This is Maqiao's drinking rule.
Whether fighting or drinking, Ma Qiao likes to use less to fight more.
In a moment, after six large bowls were down, Ma Qiao wiped his lips and said two words very plainly, "Continue."
Niu Gao wanted to tear those two idiots to pieces. If you brought out Ma Qiao's alcoholism at the wine table, the whole table would suffer! He quickly ran to Yu Junjie's side and sat down with the cup in his hand.
He kept looking for Yu Junjie to drink.
It was impossible to bully Ma Qiao, and he was lucky enough to keep himself from getting drunk, but Niu Gao was still very confident about bullying Yu Junjie.
----------
The drinking outside was very lively, and inside the house Li Qi and Zhao Jingyan also had a rest for half a day.
"Sorry, you lost."
"Wait a minute, sand just blew into my eyes. I couldn't see clearly for a while, so I couldn't do calculations. I couldn't do calculations."
As Li Qi spoke, he grabbed the chess pieces on the chessboard with his hands, but Zhao Jingyan was not Mrs. Qin. She could let him do whatever he wanted. She was very serious about everything she did, and it was difficult to make concessions. When she heard a snap,
He patted Li Qi's outstretched hand hard and said, "You will have no regrets when you lose."
"I'm so proud that I regret it." Li Qi rubbed his hands and held his mouth and said, "Do you need to be so serious? It seems that your scale is not much smaller than Madam, but how can you be so small in spirit?"
Zhao Jingyan didn't understand the potential obscenity of his words, and said: "If you can always regret your move, what's the point of this game on the chessboard? Besides, you have beaten me so many times, and I finally beat you once."
Reply, if you don’t even allow me to do this, I don’t know who is being petty.”
"Come again."
"this is OK."
The two sides began to play chess again, and Zhao Jingyan suddenly asked: "What do you plan to do with the Luo clan?"
Li Qi didn't answer and asked: "What do you think?"
Zhao Jingyan said: "Anyway, a forceful attack is not advisable. Instead of a forceful attack, it is better to adopt a gentle policy and stabilize him first. After Jiaozhi is dealt with, we can go back to trouble him."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "This is impossible. The more you give these people face, the less they will take you seriously. It is the right way to pay equal attention to kindness and power. This time I must sacrifice Luo Hu, a villain."
Qi, MD, still dares to traffic in human beings, it’s really abominable.”
Zhao Jingyan said: "This is no longer a secret in Yizhou, and doesn't this phenomenon also exist in Bianliang? Why do you need to be angry?"
Li Qi hummed: "I can't do anything about the sale of concubines or servants in Bianliang, because they have not violated the law, but Luo Hu and others are different. They sold my people in the Song Dynasty to those monkeys in Jiaozhi.
This is something I can't bear. If I don't kill Luo Hu, I would rather not fight Jiaozhi."
Zhao Jingyan really didn't expect Li Qi to be so sensitive about this matter. Seeing his determined look, she said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Qidao: "A strong attack is not advisable. It requires more than just outsmarting us."
Zhao Jingyan said: "You are referring to Luo Hu's birthday party?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "I plan to give Luo Hu a generous gift."
"What kind of gift?"
"The five hundred barrels are unparalleled in the world."
"second to none?"
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said, "Isn't the five hundred barrels a bit missing?"
"If you want to get them drunk, it's not a little less. I won't be able to mix so much wine in a while." Li Qi changed the topic and said: "But if you add a little seasoning to it, then
There might be some left."
"Condiments?"
Li Qi laughed evilly and said, "You have to thank the jade-faced flying fox for this."
Zhao Jingyan opened her eyes and said, "Mongolian sweat medicine?"
Li Qi laughed.
Zhao Jingyan said: "Have you brought all the Jade Faced Flying Fox's Mongolian sweat medicine?"
The Yumian Feihu family has a warehouse full of Mongolian sweat medicines. The number is so scary that I can only use one word to describe it, professional.
Li Qi nodded and said: "This is all thanks to Gao Yanei, he is right. If you don't bring some self-defense items when you go out, it would be unprofessional. I can help the Jade-faced Flying Fox to accumulate some moral virtue."
"
Zhao Jingyan pondered for a moment and said: "But can you trust Yu Junjie? If you don't succeed, you may scare the snake."
"We'll find out later."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. He said: "For your information, sir, General Niu asked me to report that Mr. Yu is already drunk and unconscious."
"Then call that person in quickly."
"As commanded."
After a while, there was another knock on the door, and Li Qi said, "Come in."
After a moment, I saw a guard walking in with a man in his thirties, wearing a square hat and a gray cloth gown. He looked quite decent, dressed like a butler.
"You go down first."
The guard sang, turned around and left.
"Xiao An, the villain, please see the Privy Envoy."
Li Qi nodded with a smile and said: "I really saw the right person. In just two years, you have become Yu Junjie's butler. Yu Junjie can bring you here this time, which shows that he treats you very much."
Very trustworthy! Well done.”
This person is the butler beside Yu Junjie.
Xiao An hurriedly said: "The Privy Council has commended me. If it weren't for the help of the adults in secret, the villain would not have been able to do so smoothly."
Li Qidao: "You must have the ability yourself. It is very rare to gain the trust of a businessman."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Okay, I won't say much more, just bring your work diary."
"yes."
Xiao An immediately took out three books from his arms and presented them. He reported: "In the past two years, although Yu Junjie has often taken advantage of the convenience you gave him to seek some personal gains, he still obeyed your orders.
If you try your best to complete it, it will be considered satisfactory."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Do you know his relationship with Luo Hu?"
Xiao An said: "The Yu family and the Luo clan have been in contact a long time ago. In the past two years, the Yu family often goes to Jiaozhi to do business, and the Luo clan is very powerful in Jiaozhi, and their people often communicate with each other on the border. Therefore, the two parties have
There have been many collaborations in the past two years, and the friendship is very good."
"Very good?" Li Qi said: "How good is it? How much would the Yu family lose without Luo Hu?"
Xiao An said: "It's limited to business. Both parties have their own needs. Real love is out of the question. If it was a year ago, without Luo's help, the Yu family's strength in Jiaozhi might be worrying, but now
If so, the Yu family just lacks a big buyer."
Li Qi hummed and said, "Did you know that Luo Hu trafficked people?"
"Know."
"Is the Yu family involved?"
"this---."
Li Qi's eyebrows sank and he said, "Are you thinking about how to deal with me?"
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare."
Xiao An saw ghosts and sorrow with a gloomy face. He was suddenly panicked and said hurriedly: "Actually, the Yu family is also involved."
A murderous look flashed in Li Qi's eyes and he said, "Are you serious about what you say?"
"The villain dare not hide anything from the adults." Xiao An nodded and said, "But Yu Junjie does not dare to do anything illegal in our country."
Zhao Jingyan was curious when she heard this and said: "The laws of the Song Dynasty do not allow human trafficking to go abroad. If you say so, wouldn't you be contradicting yourself?"
Xiao An explained: "Luo sold people to Jiaozhi as slaves in exchange for money, while Yu Junjie mostly smuggled women from Jiaozhi to our Song Dynasty to work as prostitutes."
Li Qi was surprised and said: "There is such a thing. Could it be that the Yu family is now running a brothel? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Xiao An hurriedly said: "Although the Yu family is not in the brothel business, they do business with many restaurants. Women in Jiaozhi have a low status and are relatively cheap, so Yu Junjie buys women from Jiaozhi every year and sells them to those restaurants at high prices.
, either as prostitutes, or as singing girls, or sold to some chiefs nearby. Because this business makes money quickly, the Yu family also made a lot of benefits from it.
At the beginning of the year, Luo Hu wanted to cooperate with the Yu family in buying and selling women, but the women sold by Luo Hu were usually people of the Song Dynasty. However, because you only promised him that he could do anything wrong in Jiaozhi, but he could not commit crimes in the Song Dynasty.
So Yu Junjie refused at that time. Even if he wanted to buy women from Jiaozhi, Yu Junjie would only buy women from Jiaozhi. Even if they were from the Song Dynasty in Jiaozhi, he would never touch them."
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "I didn't expect that this Yu Junjie is really capable. No matter how much money he makes, he still has to spend his life. If this offends you, then no matter how much money he has, he won't have his life."
Li Qi laughed and said: "I also underestimated him. I never thought he would dare to do this business."
Xiao An said: "Sir, human trafficking is actually very common here, and most wealthy businessmen are involved in it to some extent."
Li Qidao: "That was just in the past. Whoever dares to do this in the future, I will sell him to hell. But Yu Junjie did a really good job, and the bad breath in my chest was relieved a little, but she looks like a Jiaozhi woman."
It is said that his appearance is rather shabby. How can he be popular in the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Jingyan looked at Li Qi in surprise. The topic had changed too quickly.
Xiao An was very interested, and he showed his true colors, hehe said: "Of course they are not as good as our women in the Song Dynasty. But the taste of the men in the south is not as high as that in Bianliang. Moreover, the people here don't have much money, and their appearance is
It’s a little shabby, but the price is also much lower.”
"It makes sense, it makes sense, no matter how poor a man is, he still has needs."
Li Qi nodded, glanced at Xiao An, and thought to himself, it seems that this guy must also be fishing in troubled waters and having a lot of women. He said: "That's okay. Although I am very opposed to this kind of thing, but this kind of thing
Things can't be stopped. There will be supply only when there is demand. The appearance of women from Jiaozhi can, to a large extent, prevent more women from jumping into this pit of fire in my Song Dynasty. However, the price must be carefully considered. This cheap thing
, will soon overwhelm the entire industry.”
"boom!"
Zhao Jingyan put the cup on the table hard, and she didn't understand why she was talking about this.
Sweating! I almost forgot that there is a shemale sitting here. I can't smear myself anymore. I am a serious man. I have never lost my virginity in a brothel in Bianliang for so long. Uh... Fuchi doesn't count.
Li Qi coughed a few times and said, "Tell me carefully about the relationship between the Yu family and the Luo family, and also tell me what you know about the Luo family."
"yes."
Xiao An immediately told Li Qi everything he had learned.
All in all, the relationship between the Luo clan and the Yu family was all based on business. This made Li Qi feel more relieved and asked Xiao An to go back early to avoid exposing the truth.
After Xiao An left, Zhao Jingyan smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so cautious. You didn't even let a small businessman go."
"Don't underestimate Yu Junjie, he is an important chess piece in this war."
Li Qi picked up a "rook" and continued: "The things you hold in your hands are called chess pieces." Then he put the "rook" on the chessboard.
Zhao Jingyan looked at Li Qi in shock.
Li Qi waved his hand coquettishly and said: "Don't look at me so adoringly, I will be proud."
"That's it, then I'm sorry, eat it."
Zhao Jingyan really couldn't understand why Li Qi would put his "car" in her artillery array. She could only reluctantly accept this gift.
No---it's not, it's my car! Li Qi was dumbfounded, and suddenly an idea came to him, and he said, "You should understand this now."
"I knew how to catch a car from behind a gun at the age of five."
She is a shemale. She knows how to have sex all day long. She is really born to be debauched. Li Qidao: "I am demonstrating to you. Do you see the consequences of letting go of this chess piece? As soon as I put this chess piece down, it becomes yours. Hurry up."
Give it back to me."
Is this okay?
Zhao Jingyan was completely convinced, didn’t she just want to regret her move?
