Kowloon wins

Chapter 675

"My lord, Shanxi Banner Commander Kuining'an is out to ask for an audience."

Even though she didn't sleep well all night, Hongqing got up early in the morning, punched her a few times, relaxed her muscles and bones, and then started a day's interview work, generally meeting people from various prefectures and counties. Officials, they are all talking nonsense, but it’s okay if you don’t say it, nothing else, Hongqing is on order to patrol Shanxi, and the representative is the old man. It’s Hongqing’s business to appease the local officials. , It’s impossible to quit, no, the morning passed in such a boring coping, and finally sent away the officials who had made an appointment this morning, before Hong Qing could catch a breath, he watched the rain and ran away He came and said that it was Quiningan who was asking for an audience.

"Xuan."

Hearing that Quiningham had arrived, Hong Qing's brows were even frowned, and she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious about the purpose of her arrival. Right now, he is still the Dutong of the Shanxi Banner Camp, dignified from the first-rank officials, before they tear each other apart, they still have to give them the decency they deserve. Thinking of this, Hong Qing didn't hesitate any longer, waved her hand, and said Thread opened his mouth slightly.

"twitter!"

Seeing Hong Qing's expression seemed a bit wrong, Guan Yu couldn't help but shuddered, but he didn't dare to ask random questions, so he could only hastily answered and left the hall in a hurry. Not long after, Quiningan, who was in a neat court uniform, came up from the hall again.

"The last general, Shanxi Banner Commander Kuining'an, kowtowed to the prince!"

Seeing Hong Qing who was sitting high in the middle of the second hall, Kuning'an didn't dare to be negligent, walked a few steps, rushed to the hall, and respectfully paid her respects.

"Forgive me, General Kui, please let me rest."

Even though he had some doubts about the intention of Kuningan's visit, Hongqing City Mansion was deep, but he would not bring it to his face. Before the ceremony was over, he raised his hand with a smile and yelled warmly .

"Thank you, Lord Ron."

Hong Qing is the superior, he can be polite, but Quiningan did not dare to be presumptuous, thanked him very respectfully, then stood up, but dared not stand up straight, bowed slightly, posing The deputy respectfully listens to the instructions and looks cute.

"General Kui doesn't need to be so formal, just sit down, and just speak up if you have anything to say."

Seeing that Quining'an was so restrained, and contrary to yesterday's heroic spirit, Hong Qing's suspicion suddenly grew a little bit, but she didn't show it, but smiled and waved her hand in a very polite manner A seat was given.

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me a seat. The last general is here today. I want to invite my lord to come to Mingyue Tower to show my gratitude, so that my lord and the people in the banner camp can express my gratitude. Please don't refuse my lord."

Quiningan thanked respectfully, but did not go to sit down, but shook his hands, took out a gold-plated invitation card from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands, stepped forward a few steps, and held it up very respectfully overhead.

"Ah."

Hearing that Quiningan came here to treat guests, a bright light flashed in Hong Qing's eyes immediately, but she didn't rush to speak, but waved her hands, and said softly, she has her own attendant on her side A guard rushed forward, took the invitation, and handed it to Hong Qing.

"General Kui's kindness, I appreciate it, but it's not easy to make an exception wherever I go, so let's avoid it."

Hong Qing took the invitation, flipped through it casually, and saw that there was nothing special about it, so she didn't pay any more attention to it, and gently put it on the table beside her, raised her eyebrows, and spoke in a flat tone declined.

"My lord, this is the whole heart of my Shanxi Banner camp. Hehe, I will not hide it from you, my lord. You came to my banner camp yesterday. I am grateful for such a generous reward. I also think about the prince's plan to build the 'Eight Banners Company'." I really don't want to thank you for your kindness. I asked the last general to come to invite me to express my gratitude. If the prince doesn't go, I will feel uneasy in Shanxi Banner Camp. Moreover, the last general has already released big words , Said that the prince will definitely go, and invited Governor Su and Ku Fantai to accompany you. If you don’t go, you will be scolded to death by the brothers in the camp. Prince, the end will be difficult, please The prince is perfect."

Hearing Hong Qing's polite refusal, Quining'an's face suddenly collapsed, and he begged again and again with a wry smile, and brought out Su Keji, Ku Xi and others to create momentum, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"Well, whatever, if it's convenient for me, I'll just go for a walk."

Since Kuningan had said everything to such an extent, even though Hong Qing didn't want to go, she couldn't face him on the spot, so she could only say something perfunctory with a slight frown.

"Thank you, my lord, for your success, I will be here to greet you in the morning!"

As soon as Hong Qing finished speaking, Quiningan was overjoyed and knelt down, thanking her with a grateful face.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. I'm tired, so I'll just say I'm tired."

Hong Qing was really not interested in such a banquet, seeing that Quiningham didn't look like something else, she didn't bother to keep it, so she waved her hand, agreed with no other choice, and left Order of the guest.

"Hey, I will retire at the end!"

Now that the matter has been settled, Quining Anyuan didn't want to stay any longer, he was afraid that if he said too much, he would make mistakes. Because of this, when Hong Qing called to go, he didn't say any more, and respectfully saluted, and then That is to say, he withdrew from the hall.

"My lord, my subordinates think that this person's behavior is abnormal, and the banquet will not be a good one, so it's better not to go."

The figure of Kuning'an had just turned around the screen wall of the second gate, when Li Minxing, who had been silently guarding the side all along, stepped out, bowed to Hong Qing, and made a very cautious proposal road.

"Well, there's no hurry, Min Xing will go and invite He Tuozhu. As for the arrangement of the audience in the afternoon, it's better to postpone it until tomorrow."

Even Li Minxing could see Kuningan's anomaly. How could someone as shrewd as Hong Qing not be aware of it? However, he didn't rush to make a conclusion, but waved his hand and ordered in a calm tone. road.

"twitter!"

Now that Hongqing had given the order, Li Minxing didn't dare to say any more, he respectfully responded, and immediately left the hall, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

What kind of play do these old guys want to sing? Do they have a Hongmen Banquet?

Hong Qing didn't care about Li Minxing's resignation, and picked up the gold-plated invitation card that was placed on the side table again, but didn't go through it, but scrolled through it, weighed it in her hand a few times, and frowned slightly in thought Let’s get up——In Hong Qing’s view, the so-called thank-you banquet is just an excuse, nothing else, since Kuining’an, Su Keji and the others dared to collude with Zhao Fengzhao, they have already been cheating on each other Yes, the purpose of the banquet this time is naturally not as simple as it seems on the surface, but Hong Qing doesn't think that the three parties have joined forces to hold a Hongmen banquet. After all, Hong Qing is an imperial envoy My lord, if there is a slight mistake in Shanxi, these Shanxi tycoons can't bear to go around, especially before the case becomes clear, it is really hard for Hong Qing to believe that such an old bureaucrat really dares to take risks , if so, what is the purpose of Quiningan's treat this time?It's hard to say, at least right now Hong Qing can't make an accurate judgment!
"My subordinates kowtow to the prince!"

He Tao arrived very quickly, Hong Qing hadn't figured it out yet, but saw that he had already rushed to the front from the hall, respectfully paying homage to him.

"Old He came just in time, let's take a look at this first."

Hong Qingxu raised her hand, motioning for He Tao to flatten her body, then shook her hand, threw away the bronzing invitation sent by Kuning'an, and flew towards He Tao in a fluttering manner.

"Mingyue Building?"

He Tao's skill is extremely high, he raised his arm, and he has firmly grasped the flying invitation card in his hand, and as soon as he flipped through it, his brow furrowed immediately.

"What? Is there anything wrong with this Mingyue Building?"

Seeing that He Tao's expression was wrong, Hong Qing frowned and asked a question in surprise.

"Returning to the prince, this Mingyue Tower is the largest restaurant in Taiyuan City. It has a large courtyard with five entrances, and there are dozens of small courtyards inside. It occupies a very large area. Anyone who can enter and consume is either rich or expensive. The owner of the restaurant, Pan Shoutao, is also one of the celebrities in Taiyuan. He has always been kind and charitable, and has the reputation of "Pan Bodhisattva". , is very likely to be a person above the incense master, but he is cautious and has a good reputation among the people, and his subordinates have not been able to grasp him."

After He Tao obviously hesitated for a while, he briefly introduced the situation of Mingyue Tower.

"White Lotus Sect? Fragrance Master? Hmm..."

Hongqing never eats dinner, but when she came to Taiyuan before, she visited Taiyuan a few times in private, and she really went to Mingyue Tower. Of course, she only had lunch at the outermost restaurant, that's all. He didn't know much about the situation inside, but when he heard He Tao's words, his already frowning brows became even tighter. Nothing else, Hong Qing had vaguely thought of the strange thing behind this banquet. So, I can't help but feel a little sinking in my heart.

"My lord, I think this banquet must be a good one, so it's better not to go."

Seeing that Hong Qing was speechless for a long time, He Tao couldn't bear it anymore, so he swallowed hard, and cautiously spoke a word of advice.

"No, I still have to go. Otherwise, it's not beautiful to scare the snake away. It's just going back, but the preparations have to be done first. Lao He and Minxing will discuss a countermeasure. The king wants to see such corrupt officials. The officials want to make a mess of it again!"

After Hong Qing thought about it, she still decided to go, nothing else, although the truth of Zhao Fengzhao's case has been found out, and some evidence has been found, but when it comes to the timing of the action, it is not yet ripe, one is The secret document urgently sent to the capital has not yet been sent out, and without the old man's will, Hongqing did not dare to do it rashly. For the two, escape is obviously not a way. You must know that Kuning'an, Su and Ku are the biggest three in Shanxi. The giant has powerful subordinates, and Hong Qing doesn't have the capital to fight hard at this moment. If these three people become suspicious, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not call for rebellion, and this is obviously not a situation that Hong Qing would like to see. Because of this, Hong Qing would not hesitate to take a certain risk even if she had to take a certain risk...
