[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 87 [English]

Chapter 85 Errands

Such a big thing happened to the Xi family, and Xi Hongxuan had no children, so shops all over the place temporarily hung up their license plates.The shopkeepers sent letters to everyone, planning to set up a mourning hall in their hometown to discuss future arrangements.

Shen Zechuan sat on the chair and said, “I’m worried because you’re traveling far away and you’re bringing women with you. Xiao Wu, please bring a few brothers to escort this big brother Xi.”

Xi Dan knew what Shen Zechuan meant and kowtowed quickly, not daring to question.

“The Xi family can only be headed by the eldest wife now,” Shen Zechuan said, looking at the account books in front of him. “You should worry about it when you go back. Don’t worry about other things. First, stabilize the situation and don’t mess up. The business mentioned a few days ago can be put aside temporarily. Don’t make any noise when you get the key, and check the money in and out. A man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a treasure. Now you have to take care of such a big business and take care of the money, so you are bound to run into some trouble.”

Xi Dan naturally understood that now he could only seek shelter from Shen Zechuan.He follows Xi Hongxuan, a smart man who knows how to assess the situation and works hard on errands for Shen Zechuan, just to avoid being regarded as an abandoned son by Shen Zechuan.

“With the support of my master, I don’t dare to be careless. When I go back to my hometown, I will do my best to stabilize the business for my master.”

“Xi Hongxuan trusts you so much because of your real ability. In the past, he was domineering and would only ask you to do the work on the books. Now people are different. I will give you a chance to show your strength.” Shen Zechuan put down the account book and didn’t look at he. “According to the rules, you will be the head of the family in the future. But if you deceive me with just one word, I will ask for your tongue.”

He said it so calmly that Xi Dan was chilled to the bone when he heard it, and he quickly kowtowed, not daring to look at he again.

After sending Xi Dan away, Ge Qingqing came back at noon. He went in to unload his knife. The handyman next to him came to serve him tea, and he drank it down in one gulp.

“There is no one,” Ge Qingqing pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, “We have searched all the Xi family’s houses in Qudu, and there is no sign of my husband or master.”

Shen Zechuan remained silent, leaning on his chair with a hesitant expression.

“Could it be in a village outside the city?” Ge Qingqing wiped his sweat, “There are many villages outside the Xi family. Maybe he will be hidden outside.”

“Master is not sir. After such a long time, he will definitely find a way to come back to see me, but he didn’t come back,” Shen Zechuan said calmly, “It means he is stuck somewhere and can’t come back.”

Ji Gang is not Qi Huilian, who has no power to restrain a chicken. He can hardly meet an opponent in Qin.There may be experts among the Jianghu people hired by Xi Hongxuan with huge sums of money, but now that Xi Hongxuan is dead, this group of people should be scattered and busy avoiding the pursuit of the court. How can they care about the prisoner?

“Call Fei Sheng,” Shen Zechuan said, “I have a mission.”

Ge Qingqing was stunned and then said: “These people…are they willing to accept them?”

“Since he has put a sign in the imperial prison,” Shen Zechuan raised his eyes with cold eyes, “there is no way to refuse. If these people can’t be used by me, then keeping them will be a future problem.”

There are many talents in Jinyiwei, but there are still very few people like Gujin who can explore all directions with just one pair of eyes and ears.This Fei Sheng is the concubine of the Fei family, and he inherited his father’s original position.The most outstanding thing about this person is the search, but he was beaten by Qiao Tianya before, and finally made it to the eighth year when he could be promoted, and ran to his family, Marquis Helian, many times. He originally thought that the post of Beizhen Fu should be held by him concurrently, but unexpectedly, Shen Zechuan fell from the sky, completely ending his future, and making him have to stay at his original post.

Fei Sheng is different from Ge Qingqing. He knows the roundabouts of officialdom better than Ge Qingqing, who comes from a humble family. He can also talk to Han Cheng for a few words. He is half of Han Cheng’s disciples. Therefore, unlike Jin Yiwei like Ge Qingqing, who has an old relationship with Ji Gang, he does not buy Ji Gang’s fault at all.He is now the number one figure in Jinyiwei who is in a close relationship with Shen Zechuan. Shen Zechuan was in the limelight in the past few months, and he avoided the confrontation for a while, but in recent days there has been friction gradually.

Shen Zechuan spent a lot of time investigating old cases, half of which was wasted on them.He only listened to half of what he was told to do, and did the job of collecting files carelessly. Shen Zechuan couldn’t bear the year number, so he personally went to the Ministry of Justice to sort it out.

The two sides were already at odds. Ge Qingqing knew what they were capable of, but she still felt angry after being compared like this.But he also understood that his skills were inferior to others, and finding talents was a priority now, so he had no objection and got up and called for people.

Ge Qingqing opened the curtain and came out, and saw Fei Sheng having wine and fistfights with others in another room. He stood by the door and said, “Fei Qian is invited to the main room. Your Excellency is calling.”

Fei Sheng acted as if he hadn’t heard anything. He stepped on his chair and started yelling at others. The whole room was full of people and the atmosphere was chaotic. There was no order at all.

Ge Qingqing has never been shy with others. He has followed his father on missions since he was a child. He has met all kinds of teachers and people. He knows how to take care of people and knows how to advance and retreat. He can also establish friendship with Xiao Qi and the handyman who work as guards below.No matter how uncomfortable he felt at the moment, he would never embarrass the other party at this time, so he walked in through the door, wandered in, grabbed the wine bottle on the table, poured a glass for Fei Sheng himself, and said politely: “It’s not a big deal, and it’s not a mission ordered by the emperor. It won’t take long.”

Fei Sheng tossed the peanuts and said, “It’s not the emperor’s order. Just ask the people below to go and find me a person with a step and a sign. How do you say this? It doesn’t make sense.”

“Your Excellency has your own arrangements. It’s up to you to discuss whether you accept it or not.” Ge Qingqing poured herself a glass and touched it with him. “Brothers have also worked hard these days in checking old cases. Fei Qian has worked hard and achieved great results. I give you a toast. Those who are capable have worked hard, so go ahead.”

Fei Sheng was not shy about running errands for Shen Zechuan, and he also claimed to be Shen Zechuan’s senior, and it was not Shen Zechuan’s turn to do his bidding.But after all, they were working together, so there was no reason for him to start a quarrel for no reason, and it would not sound good to Han Cheng.

Fei Sheng drank the glass of wine, smiled at Ge Qingqingpi, and didn’t even answer the question. He took his waist badge from the table and turned around to go out.

Ge Qingqing was left on the spot, put down her wine glass, handed over her hands to the guards with different expressions around her, and retreated.As soon as he exited, his people all stood up.

Ge Qingqing wiped his mouth and said, “What are you doing standing up? My brother doesn’t care, sit down.”

Xiao Wu and Ding Tao were similar in age, and they didn’t hide their thoughts on their faces. He said angrily and hatefully: “He has eyes on his forehead. He walks like a crab. He is so cross, and he is not afraid of bumping into the door! How can he be a good man when he looks down on others? Bah! Brother Qing, why should we put up with him? Take out the cards and drag him out, put a sack on him and beat him. Let’s see if he is still dishonest!”

Ge Qingqing reprimanded: “What nonsense are you talking about? One of your own is beating your own, and it’s not enough to make people laugh!” He looked at everyone and said, “We are all doing errands together, and we can’t have any knots in our hearts. Otherwise, how can we all treat each other with righteousness when we encounter a task? He looks down on us, so we will work harder.”

* * *

Fei Sheng opened the curtain and came in, cursing carelessly in front of the table. The smell of wine was still lingering, and the smell could reach Shen Zechuan across the table.

Shen Zechuan didn’t look up and said, “If you drink on duty, you will be fined, right?”

When Fei Sheng saw that Shen Zechuan didn’t get up, he also pulled up the chair, but before his butt touched the chair, Shen Zechuan looked at him.

Shen Zechuan smiled slowly: “Sit.”

Fei Sheng couldn’t figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. He sat down and said, “Master, why are you looking for me?”

Shen Zechuan said: “There is an errand that no one else can do, and it must be you.”

Fei Sheng saw that he was asking for help from him, so he couldn’t help but relax his body, touched the pipe in his sleeve pocket, and started to take Joe.Let me start by saying, “Is this an errand from the prison? If it’s an order from the commander, I can handle it with a document.”

Shen Zechuan tapped the tip of his pen and said, “It’s not an errand from the prison, nor is it an order from the commander.”

Fei Sheng rubbed the flint, chewed on his pipe, laughed a few times, and said, “Is that your lord’s order? It can be done, but I still have to take notes recently. Isn’t this just in time for April? The price of firewood, rice, oil, and salt in Qudu is fluctuating, and I have to keep an eye on it.”

The so-called “listening to notes” means that Jin Yiwei records all the big and small things outside the palace, including the prices of grain, rice, noodles and tea, and reports them to Li Jianheng and Hai Liangyi at any time.But this errand was not Fei Sheng’s turn to handle personally. He was a fourth-grade official, and the only errands he could be called upon to do were arrests and local field service.When he said this, he actually didn’t intend to do it.

“You can’t kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. If you do audio recording, that’s overkill.” Shen Zechuan said.

“I am just a mediocre person. I cannot compare to a talented person like you. At a young age, I am already a third-rank scholar. I am favored by the emperor, and I am very elegant.” Fei Sheng sighed, “We can only do some menial jobs to get by. We don’t dare to think about anything else, and we don’t dare to do it. Let’s wait a few days, and we won’t have leisure until a few days.”

Shen Zechuan said: “I can’t wait for this job.”

Fei Sheng moistened his dry throat, leaned forward, looked at Shen Zechuan and said, “What can I do? Everything depends on its severity. I have to finish the errand at hand before I can take over your errand. This is the rule Ji Wufan set at that time and cannot be broken, so you just wait.”

Shen Zechuan was sprayed in the face by the smoke. Seeing that he looked fearless, he knocked the ashes on the edge of the table.Fei Sheng maintained his identity, thinking that Shen Zechuan could not suppress him, so he slid away his chair and prepared to leave.

Shen Zechuan suddenly pointed his finger, pinned a piece of paper in front of Fei Sheng, and said, “Can I wait, can Qianshi wait too? This is your promotion year, and coincidentally, Juexi Chief Minister Jiang Qingshan will soon go to the capital to report on his duties. He is entering the capital now, and you also understand the intention of the cabinet. He will go to Zhongbo to be the person in charge. This man lacks an inspector of imperial guards… Is Fei Qianshi still busy?”

Jiang Qingshan was a high official in the border area and had very strong jurisdiction over the territory. He turned Juexi into the granary of the Zhou Dynasty, and all military supplies from Libei and Qidong were sent from He. Even Xiao Jiming and Qi Zhuyin could not afford to offend him, so they had no worries about their future by working with him.Fei Shengsheng couldn’t move, so he had to find foreign aid, but just because of his commoner background, he couldn’t get along with serious direct descendants such as Han Jin, Fei Shi, and Pan Lin. Without that kind of relationship, there was no way to move up. He was stuck in this position and felt uncomfortable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sarcastic towards Shen Zechuan.

Fei Sheng put out his cigarette in a hurry, rubbed his palm on the side of his leg, bent slightly, smiled at Shen Zechuan and said, “Look at me! I’m so expressionless. What’s the difference? Tell me.”

Shen Zechuan said: “I want you to turn everything upside down and find two people.”

“Looking for it openly, or…” Fei Sheng looked at Shen Zechuan, gradually understood, and said, “It’s easy to handle, I’m good at this. Sir, give me a description, and I will find the person for you in five days!”

Shen Zechuan said in a deep voice: “I will only give you two days.”

Fei Sheng looked at the paper, gritted his teeth, and agreed!
