The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Fan Lianghan waited for a long time. Seeing that the wine had not come yet, he became a little impatient and wanted to run out of the box to find someone to urge him.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a thin servant holding a large jar of wine standing at the door, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"Mr. Fan, the wine is here." Li Leshan lowered her head deliberately so that Fan Lianghan could not see her face clearly.

"Why did you come just now? You're delaying my cousin from entertaining the guests." Fan Lianghan said unkindly, "Be careful or I'll have my cousin deduct your salary for this month."

Li Leshan pretended to be terrified and said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Fan. The wine at the counter has been finished. I specially brought this jar of wine from the wine cellar, so it took some time."

Fan Lianghan said with a straight face: "Forget it, bring the wine in quickly."

Li Leshan walked into the box holding a jar of wine. When he saw the dancer, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes.

But when she saw clearly that the distinguished guest Fan Lianghan was greeting was Wang Gang, she was so scared that she turned away quickly.

"What are you doing?" Fan Lianghan grabbed Li Leshan's shoulder and asked.

"Master Fan, I forgot to get the wine jug to share the wine. I'll go get it right away."

Fan Lianghan pointed to the wine glass on the table and said impatiently: "Fill it up first before you go."

Li Leshan was a little nervous, afraid that Wang Gang would recognize her.

Wang Gang and Chai An were chatting and did not notice Li Leshan who was dressed as a servant.

"Where will Yuankang be assigned this time when he returns to the capital?"

"I was transferred to Kaifeng Prefecture to serve as the left army inspector." Wang Gang said with a smile: "We will inevitably interact in the future."

Chai An frowned and asked worriedly, "How did you get sent there? Being the left army inspector is not an easy job."

Wang Gang nodded and said, "Of course I know, but the imperial court has already issued the transfer order, what can I do?"

Kaifeng Prefecture was in charge of public security management in Bianjing City, trial of criminal cases, disaster relief, environmental management, price stabilization, dispatching successful candidates from the prefecture, traffic management, tax collection in counties under its jurisdiction, market trade management, organization of large-scale celebrations, reception of foreign envoys, and supervision.

In short, it is an organization that has a hand in everything, big or small, and its power is enormous.

Relatively speaking, Kaifeng Prefecture is also a place where it is very easy to offend people. Every prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture is a royal relative, most of whom are the crown prince.

The famous Mr. Bao in history was only the "acting prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture", and was considered a subordinate of the Kaifeng prefect. However, as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture was the crown prince, he naturally had no time to take care of the affairs of the prefecture. The "acting prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture" was already considered the top leader, and although his official position was only fourth-rank, he was not afraid of meeting first-rank officials.

Wang Gang's official position was the Left Army Inspector of Kaifeng Prefecture, an eighth-rank official. He was in charge of inspecting the capital, trying criminal cases, and maintaining public order in Bianliang. He was equivalent to the criminal investigation captain in later generations, but because he had the right to try cases, he had more power than an ordinary captain.

Chai An opened a restaurant in Bianjing City, so it was inevitable that he had to deal with people from Kaifeng Prefecture. He was very clear about the duties of the Left Army Inspector.

"Brother Yuankang, isn't the post of Left Army Patrol Officer usually filled by a military officer? You are a civil scholar!"

"I was transferred back to the capital because of my meritorious service in defending the city, so I was transferred to be the inspector of the left army." Wang Gang explained.

"I have also heard about your defense of the city in Bianjing. I heard that when the Western Xia army was approaching, your immediate superior, the county magistrate, abandoned the city and fled. You took on the task and led the people of the city to defend the city for three months, and finally forced the Western Xia to retreat.

It stands to reason that with such merit, it is reasonable for him to be transferred back to the capital, but this left army patrol is a military officer. My dynasty has always valued civil officials over military officials, and civil officials are half a level higher than military officials. You are being promoted in name only but demoted in reality!"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "You have never set foot in the officialdom, so you don't know. Although our dynasty values ​​civil officials over military officials, and the status of military officials is slightly lower than that of civil officials, there is one exception."

Chai An became interested and asked, "Oh! How do you say that?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Civil officials in charge of military affairs are not included in this list! They are even highly respected."

Chai An suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I am really ignorant! No matter what, whether my Panlou can continue to operate in the future depends on Brother Yuankang."

Wang Gang picked up the wine glass, only to find that it was empty.

Chai An shouted to Li Leshan: "Quickly fill the glass of wine for Lord Wang." Li Leshan was very confused and did not move forward. Fan Lianghan said unhappily: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you pour wine for the guest?"

Wang Gang then looked at Li Leshan. Li Leshan buried his head even lower and did not dare to look at Wang Gang at all.

"Hey, this boy looks familiar." Wang Gang narrowed his eyes and recognized Li Leshan.

Wang Gang was deeply impressed by the fact that Li Leshan dared to resist the knife-wielding criminals.

Chai An also realized something was wrong and asked, "Which shopkeeper are you working for? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Li Leshan rolled his eyes and said, "Replying to Mr. Chai, I am the distant nephew of Manager Liu. There are too many guests in the building tonight and I am too busy to handle it. Manager Liu asked me to come and help."

Chai An frowned, but did not doubt Li Leshan's words.

His Pan Lou had just opened not long ago, and customers were flocking in. When it was busy, he would hire some helpers.
"Hurry up and pour wine for the guests." Chai An said with a stern face.

"Oh." Li Leshan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk up to Wang Gang, using a wine spoon to pour the wine from the jar into the cup.

Wang Gang raised his lips and said to Li Leshan: "You are a good-looking young man, with delicate skin and tender flesh. It's a pity for you to be a waiter."

Li Leshan panicked and lost his grip, so the wine spoon and the wine spilled all over Wang Gang.

"Ah!" Li Leshan screamed, quickly picked up the wine spoon, and then used his sleeve to wipe the wine stains for Wang Gang.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Wang, please forgive me."

Wang Gang grabbed Li Leshan's hand and laughed, "Don't worry, Master Chai won't deduct your wages."

When Li Leshan's hand was grabbed by Wang Gang, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her cheeks flushed. This was her first time having contact with a man other than her father.

Chai An was furious and said, "What a fuss, why don't you get off now?"

Li Leshan shivered with fear.

Wang Gang grabbed Li Leshan's hand and said to Chai An, "Brother Chai, don't scold him. It's just a small matter."

Chai An clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yuankang, please don't blame me. This man is just a servant. I'll have someone bring you some new clothes."

Wang Gang let go of Li Leshan's hand and said, "Okay, go get me some clothes and help me change."

Li Leshan was surprised and asked: "Ah! You want me to change your clothes?!"

Chai An said angrily: "You bastard, Lord Wang asked you to change your clothes, it's your honor, how can you be unhappy?"

Li Leshan hesitated and blushed: "I don't know how to change clothes for others!"

Fan Lianghan yelled: "If you can't even put on clothes, what else can you do?"

Wang Gang said to Li Leshan: "What's your name?"

Li Leshan almost blurted out his own name, but fortunately he managed to hold it back in the end.

"The younger one's name is Ale."

Wang Gang said kindly: "Little brother Ah Le, go get some clothes."

Chai An said to Fan Lianghan: "Cousin, go with this Ah Le to get some clothes, just take my silk coat."

Fan Lianghan was sober now and volunteered, "Okay, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he took Li Leshan's arm and walked out! (End of this chapter)
