Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 191 Brothers Reunion

Earl Ying was stepping on the sixth to last step of the stairs on the second floor when he suddenly heard the person downstairs claiming to be Li Gongbi from the government office of Qinghe County.

I was overjoyed in my heart, and said in a panic: "Knife...keep people under the knife! Hurry up, keep people under the knife!"

On the first floor, the followers of the Hualien Sect were stunned when they saw their altar master behaving like this.

Zhang Shou'an slowly turned his head and saw Count Ying running downhill in three steps and two steps at a time.

Earl Ying jumped three steps in a row. Before he could stand still, he looked towards the door.

Aren't the two men, an old man and a young man, supporting each other, none other than Li Gongji, the magistrate of Qinghe County, and his son Li Gongbi?
Li Gongji didn't know how much he drank, and his face was as red as blood. He was forcibly held by Li Gongbi, swaying this way and that, with a smile on his face.

"Where is the little thief, Hugh is so rude to me, do you know who my brother is?"

"That's the famous second-rank official in the Great Song Dynasty, Ying Guanghou!"

Li Gongji's consciousness had long been unclear. He raised his head and laughed. He might lie down on the ground and fall asleep in any minute.

When everyone heard Li Gongji mentioning the word "Ying Guanghou", almost at the same time, they suddenly turned their heads and looked at Count Ying blankly.

Earl Ying ran over quickly with his mouth agape, came to Li Gongji and Li Gongbi, and looked at his father and son up and down.

Li Gongji clapped his hands repeatedly, and laughed loudly, "Isn't this my elder brother Ying Earl? Haha!"

"Brother, I understand. This scene must be because you, eldest brother, specially arranged a surprise for me to welcome me to Bianliang City, right?"

Li Gongbi supported Li Gongji who was overwhelmed with pride, gritted his teeth, and made a difficult bow to Earl Ying, panting and saying: "Uncle, you are all right."

Li Gongji got married when he was very young and gave birth to Li Gongbi.

Over the years, Li Gongji repeatedly accepted bribes from people in Qinghe County.

He was so moisturized that he was obviously a lot older, but he still looked like a young man.

Li Gongji and Li Gongbi, father and son, stand together, and others often think they are brothers.

After all, Li Gongbi was a generation younger than Count Ying. Even Count Ying wanted to ask Li Gongji why he suddenly came to Bianliang City.

That is no matter what, in terms of etiquette, Li Gongbi cannot be neglected.

So Earl Ying quickly pulled Li Gongji and Li Gongbi upstairs.

At the same time, he ordered the kitchen to cook some good dishes and make some pots of good tea.

The Hualien Sect members on the first floor were stunned on the spot, looking at each other.

"What's going on? Those two dog officials are friends of our altar master Ying? They look very familiar to each other."

"Ouch! I was scared to death. Fortunately, I took action a little slower just now. Otherwise, those two dog officials... ah no, those two friends of the altar master would have died!"

Everyone was talking and watching helplessly as Count Ying supported Li Gongji who was swaying around and dragged Li Gongbi into the room.

Meng Yulou stood at the door of the room and peeked at what happened just now.

On the one hand, this woman was worried about her own safety, and on the other hand, she was thinking about Earl Ying.

At that moment, the woman quickly shook the old woman who was sleeping on the bed awake, and gave some instructions to prepare the old woman to serve the wine party.

The old woman had been a slave by this woman's side for many years. Although she was extremely tired and sleepy as a sea, she really couldn't resist the woman's command.He quickly jumped out of bed, hurriedly picked up the dishes, washed the teacups, and got busy.

Li Gongji was very drunk and was helped by Earl Ying to sit down at the tea table.

He shook his body this way and that, and said with a trembling laugh: "Brother, what do you think you are trying to do? Who among us brothers is following whom? If you want to pick me up, you can just pick me up. Why bother with this scene?" !”

Li Gongbi's face was full of embarrassment. He looked at Earl Ying and chuckled: "Uncle Ying, my father really drank too much. Don't be offended."

Nowadays, almost all of Earl Ying's old acquaintances in Qinghe County know that Earl Ying has achieved great success in Bianliang City.

And everyone knows that Count Ying was favored by Emperor Huizong in every possible way due to his skills in writing novels. For a time, there was no one else in the court who was better than him.

Earl Ying didn't care about other things, he just saw Li Gongji drunk like this.

At present, there is a war and chaos. After traveling thousands of miles from Qinghe County to Bianliang City, and not even entering the city yet, after drinking to this extent, it is inevitable that his face will be full of displeasure.

Li Gongji couldn't sober up, so Earl Ying had no choice but to ask Li Gongbi: "Nephew, what happened to you and your father? We are still far from Bianliang City, why are you so drunk?"

Li Gongbi felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Ying, to tell you the truth, my father and I set out from Qinghe County eight days ago, working hard all the way, working hard, day and night, and finally finally We are about to enter Bianliang City."

"Today in the evening, my father saw that Bianliang City was close at hand. He knew that Bianliang City was your territory, Uncle Ying, so he didn't restrain himself. He took out the wine from his luggage and drank a lot. "

"You also know that my father doesn't have many hobbies in his life. He only has one thing: eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. I follow my father very much in this regard."

"As soon as he started drinking, I couldn't help but start drinking too."

Earl Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly, patting Li Gongbi's shoulder gently.

A little reproachful, he said: "So you got drunk like this? Then you got caught by the heroes of the Hualien Sect, and you haven't sobered up yet?"

"I'm not saying that it really shouldn't be the case. You and your father have been in the officialdom for many years. Why don't you even know such a little thing?"

"Even if you are craving for wine, you can just come to Bianliang City and have a good drink with me. Why go to all this trouble and trouble?"

The more Li Gongbi listened, the more embarrassed he became. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Uncle Ying, what you said is true. My nephew will keep it in mind."

Earl Ying continued to shake his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "How old are you? Do you still need me to instruct you on this matter?"

Soon, the food was served by the followers of the Hualien Sect.

The believers put the food in the hands of the old woman next to Meng Yulou, and the old woman put it on the table.

Just as the disciple was about to leave, Earl Ying grabbed the disciple's hand and said, "My old brother drank too much, just bring me two apples."

The believer was stunned and said with a confused face: "Master Ying, there are no apples."

When the cultist said this, Earl Ying realized that the Hualien Cult was so poor that it was indeed impossible to find even half a piece of fruit.

So he said casually: "Then just bring me two taels of mutton."

Unexpectedly, the believer still said: "Master Ying, there is no mutton."

Earl Ying was about to cry but had no tears. It seemed that tonight he was going to be tortured to death by Li Gongji, who was unable to sober up.
