Chapter 290 Arrest people when they are full and drunk

Lin Cunde watched those officials eating and drinking. After getting drunk, they behaved in ugly ways, hugged each other, and even talked about some unsightly things. At this moment, everyone was relaxed!
And they looked at Lin Cunde sitting there in a daze, thinking that Lin Cunde was drunk, and he was even more arrogant!
As for Wang Zhi and others, they were still sober at this moment and did not dare to drink too much. Especially Wang Zhi, who knew Lin Cunde well and knew that Lin Cunde was not that easy to talk to!
After eating and drinking for an hour, Chen Zhao stood up and felt a little ashamed. This person was a local, a native of Zhejiang, but he had just been transferred back to serve as the chief envoy!
He knows that officials in Zhejiang are wealthy!
He wanted to change this situation, but he didn't dare to take action. His own power was not enough compared to the strength of local officials in Zhejiang. Therefore, Chen Zhao could only turn a blind eye to other matters. He didn't dare to take care of it. Although he warned the officials about their ugly behavior, no one from those officials paid him any attention!

Among them, Luo Tang is even more arrogant. Luo Tang is a local official. He has been in Zhejiang for many years and has many cronies. Sometimes, Chen Zhao needs to give Luo Tang a three-pointer!

"Sir, have you eaten yet?" Chen Zhao stood up and asked Lin Cunde who was sitting there in a daze.

"Well, I've finished eating. I wonder if Mr. Chen and all of you can have enough to eat?" Lin Cunde woke up immediately after hearing Chen Zhao's words and asked Chen Zhao with a smile.

Chen Zhao looked at the officials. They were all chatting. They were probably full, and the meal took a long time. So Chen Zhao cupped his hands in front of Lin Cunde and said, "Sir, I must be tired, so you should go and rest early." It’s good, but the lower official is ignorant!”

"Well, it doesn't matter. I'm not that tired after taking the boat these days! Now that I've eaten, let's call the shopkeeper over and see how much it costs?" Lin Cunde said with a smile and stood up.

"Sir, this, we, the Chief Envoy, are responsible for this. Your Excellency, there is no need to worry about such a trivial matter!" Chen Zhao looked at Lin Cunde in confusion!
Wang Zhi was also alert in his heart at this moment.

"No, no, no, I'm here for the first time today, but I want to entertain the local parents and officials. I've invited this banquet. Shopkeeper, come here!" Lin Cunde said, greeting the shopkeeper!
"This!" Chen Zhao didn't know what Lin Cunde meant. He thought Lin Cunde was drunk, so he could only come over and say to Lin Cunde: "Sir, no need. I will pay the bill immediately. You can just go and have a rest!"

"No, I have money. Ask Dazai, who in the entire capital doesn't know that I have money? Right, Dazai?" Lin Cunde said and called Wang Zhi!

"Yes, everyone in the capital knows this!" Wang Zhi also stood up and said with a smile.

At this time, Luo Tang also drunkenly said to Lin Cunde: "Sir, today is the reception banquet we are hosting for you. How can we let you pay? You are so young and may not know these rules!"

After hearing this, other officials also laughed. If they were sober, they would never dare to do this. However, before Lin Cunde came, many officials also inquired about Lin Cunde and learned that Lin Cunde was a seventeen-year-old boy who had been granted the title of Marquis before. , is still a scholar, and everyone also believes that Lin Cunde is here to get gold plating, and those who really come to do things are Wang Zhi and others. They are the ones these officials are afraid of!

However, Lin Cunde was a marquis, a military commander, and had fought on the front line. Therefore, when they were sober, no one dared to look down on Lin Cunde, but when they were drunk, the scholar's contemptuous character could no longer be suppressed!
"Yes, yes, but I also have my own rules. Shopkeeper, come here and settle the accounts, otherwise, I will seal off your restaurant!" Lin Cunde pointed at the shopkeeper and said. When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost cried. , their boss has a good relationship with many officials here. Basically all the major banquets of the Chief Envoy and the Hangzhou Government are held here.

Therefore, he should listen to Chen Zhao's words, but now, Lin Cunde is the Marquis. How dare he not listen to the Marquis's words? If he doesn't listen, he will cause trouble for his employer. Moreover, these officials can't stop Lin Cunde. What can he, a shopkeeper, do about his behavior?
"Master Hou!" The shopkeeper came over and saluted Lin Cunde.

"How much is the total?" Lin Cunde pointed to the tables and asked the shopkeeper.

"This doesn't cost much, about two thousand taels!" The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile to Lin Cunde.

"Two thousand taels?" After hearing this, Lin Cunde looked at the shopkeeper in shock. There were almost ninety people dining here. After calculation, one person is almost 20 taels. The consumption of one meal per person is what ordinary people spend in a year. consumption!

And how can the food here be worth two thousand taels of silver?

"Sir, you don't have to worry about this. Your Majesty, I will send you back!" Chen Zhao was afraid that Lin Cunde would be embarrassed, and he was also afraid that Lin Cunde would continue to ask this question. This restaurant is not simple, and there are experts behind it! "Come here, bring two thousand taels!" Lin Cunde immediately shouted. Those officials thought Lin Cunde was drunk, so they watched Lin Cunde's training quietly.

After a while, several of Lin Cunde's guards came in carrying a box, opened the box, and found two thousand taels of silver neatly placed inside.

"Points!" Lin Cunde said to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked at Chen Zhao with a troubled face, while the other officials also looked at Lin Cunde in confusion.

I thought to myself, Lin Cunde is really a stupid young man who doesn't understand any rules. This is a reception banquet held for Lin Cunde. How can Lin Cunde be allowed to pay for it? Isn't this a slap in the face of Zhejiang Chief Envoy?
"Points, why are you still standing there, we have to go rest!" Lin Cunde urged the shopkeeper.

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper could only count!

Chen Zhao stood there and kept looking at Wang Zhi asking for help. Wang Zhi acted as if he didn't hear him. Chen Zhao was very close to Yu Qian and knew Wang Zhi. Chen Zhao originally thought that Wang Zhi could Helping to persuade Lin Cunde, he did not expect that Wang Zhiru stood there with his eyes closed as if he was drunk. This was a bit strange!

"Master Hou, the number is correct!" After the shopkeeper finished counting, he raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said.

"Well, that's enough. Can we go?" Lin Cunde said to the shopkeeper with a smile.

"Of course, of course!" The shopkeeper was about to cry. He didn't say that he wouldn't let Lin Cunde leave. It was Lin Cunde who didn't want to leave. What could he do?
"Come in!" Lin Cunde shouted outside, and immediately, a large number of Jin Yiwei came in from the outside!

As soon as the Jin Yiwei came in, Wang Zhi knew that his feeling was indeed right. How could Lin Cunde do things so easily? How could he not understand the rules? He knows better than anyone else!
"Arrest the people according to the list and hold them all in solitary confinement. Dazai, I leave it to you. Let me interrogate them!" Lin Cunde pointed at the officials and said to Zhu Ji and Wang Zhi who had just come in.

Zhu Ji had actually arrived a long time ago. He learned that Lin Cunde was going to live in Xiang Qing's new residence, so he waited for Lin Cunde at Xiang Qing's new residence. After all, it was difficult for him to show up before arresting someone!
Later, he followed Lin Cunde to report to Baihu, saying that he was preparing to arrest people, so Zhu Ji brought people over.

"Yes! Lord Marquis!" Zhu Ji said, raising his hands to Lin Cunde.

"Sir, this, this!" Chen Zhao was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did he arrest someone? Or was it Jin Yiwei who arrested someone? Who doesn't know the terror of Jin Yiwei?
And many officials here are much more awake now. Some officials fell directly under their chairs, and some fell directly to the ground!
And the captains of the Jinyiwei began to arrest people, two of them arrested one!
"Let me go, why are you arresting me, why are you arresting me!" Luo Tang shouted at this moment. He was not afraid. He had honored many people in the capital. Otherwise, he would not be so comfortable in Hangzhou!
"Beat!" Lin Cunde said softly!
The two captains who arrested Luo Tang punched Luo Tang directly in the abdomen, causing Luo Tang to vomit out everything he had eaten and drank for lunch!
Those royal guards came to arrest people, but none of the officials dared to move. They just stared at this scene blankly, and then were taken away dully!

"Sir, what's going on!" Chen Zhao was a little panicked and said quickly to Lin Cunde.

"I don't have anything to do without you right now. Just take a break. You'll probably be busy next!" Lin Cunde looked at Chen Zhao with a smile and said.

"Yes, yes!" Chen Zhao was really panicked, because he found that there were less than ten people who came here to eat together, and no one cared about them! The remaining thirty or so people were all escorted by Jin Yiwei and led out of the restaurant.

After the last arrested official was escorted away, Lin Cunde picked up his wine glass with a smile and said to the officials present: "Everyone, next, the Zhejiang Chief Envoy and the Hangzhou Prefecture will rely on you! I will do it first as a token of respect. , everyone drank this cup together, it’s time to get busy! ”
