Border Soldiers: My granaries are full of grain and meat, and I guard this region.

"Could it be that this kid has some kind of relationship with Magistrate Zhao?"

Xing Zhao watched this scene and muttered to himself.

But when Zhao Tongchuan, the top official of Fuxing County, appeared, he naturally couldn't just stand there and immediately went up to greet him in a fawning manner.

Zhao Tongchuan glanced at Xing Zhao briefly, his expression unchanged.

Seeing Zhao Tongchuan's reaction, Xing Zhao felt somewhat uncertain.

"Could it be that Zhao Tongchuan really came here for this kid?"

Xing Zhao pondered silently in his heart.

Wang Dun, who was standing to the side, was also feeling a little uneasy, but he still tried to remain calm and stepped forward to greet Zhao Tongchuan respectfully.

"Magistrate Zhao, it is truly an honor for our humble establishment to have you grace our shop with your presence today!"

Zhao Tongchuan curled his lip, snorted coldly, and ignored Wang Dun.

Qi Feng smiled slightly at Zhao Tongchuan, cupped his hands, and said, "Magistrate Zhao, it's been a long time."

Those around who witnessed this scene all gasped in shock.

Xing Zhao immediately realized that Qi Feng had come prepared today. If he went against Qi Feng again, wouldn't he be courting death?

Wang Dun's face was extremely ugly. If he had known that Qi Feng was related to Magistrate Zhao, why would he have made a bet with him?

Zhao Tongchuan approached the Eight Immortals Table, looked down at the wine on it, picked up the Divine Brew, and sniffed it. A faint sour smell entered his nostrils, unlike the mellow aroma of Qi Feng's brewed wine.

After setting down the Divine Brew, Zhao Tongchuan picked up the wine brewed by Qi Feng and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing the drink, a satisfied expression immediately appeared on Zhao Tongchuan's face.

He was quite surprised when Qi Feng brought him wine last time. He finished the wine in just two days. Now that he was drinking wine brewed by Qi Feng again, Zhao Tongchuan was overjoyed.

Just now, he overheard someone say that the wine Qi Feng brewed was horse urine.

Anyone who has ever drunk alcohol, and has tried Qi Feng's brewed wine and Shenxian's brew, would never say that Qi Feng's brewed wine is horse urine.

But if someone says that, then there must be something fishy going on.

Fortunately, Qi Feng had come to see him yesterday and told him about the drinking contest with Laixianglou, so Zhao Tongchuan came over today and happened to witness this scene.

"Manager Wang, if I heard you correctly, you said this wine is horse urine, right? Would you like to try it yourself?"

Zhao Tongchuan looked at Wang Dun and said in a low voice.

Hearing Zhao Tongchuan's words, Wang Dun was terrified and hurriedly denied them repeatedly:

"Magistrate Zhao, you must have misheard! How could the wine you praised be horse urine?"

Zhao Tongchuan snorted coldly: "Manager Wang, are you implying that if I think something is good, then it must be good? If Manager Wang has any opinions on whether the wine is good or bad, he can let everyone around have a taste."

After saying this, Zhao Tongchuan approached Qi Feng and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, since we're going to compare the quality of our wines, why don't we let the people around us judge for themselves?"

Qi Feng naturally had no objections.

This way, he can not only win decisively, but also make his liquor brand famous, achieving two goals at once.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Feng instructed Wang Chong to open all the wine jars he had brought. Instantly, a rich aroma of wine filled the entire street, and the onlookers widened their eyes upon smelling the aroma.

Qi Feng cupped his hands in greeting to those around him and smiled:

"Gentlemen, why don't you try my drinks for yourselves? All drinks are free today. If you like them in the future, you can come to Ye Family Restaurant. I assure you, all the drinks brewed at Ye Family Restaurant in the future will be exactly the same as today's!"

After saying that, Qi Feng asked Wang Chong to bring a few small wine cups, filled them with wine, and placed them on the Eight Immortals Table. People around rushed over and tasted the wine.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tongchuan smiled at Wang Dun and said:

"Manager Wang, why don't you also share your divine brew with everyone?"

Wang Dun dared not refuse Zhao Tongchuan, and could only smile awkwardly and say, "Of course, of course."

Before long, Wang Dun distributed all the divine wine to those around him.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that compared to Qi Feng's wine, the once-famous Divine Brew of Longxi Prefecture was no longer worth touching.

"The drinks at Ye Family Restaurant are still the best! I've never tasted anything like this in all my years!"

"Yes! This wine is much better than the divine brew! I don't know why they say it tastes like horse piss!"

"Exactly! I bet there's something fishy going on!"

After tasting both Qi Feng's wine and the Divine Brew, the local people unhesitatingly chose Qi Feng's wine.

At the same time, they realized that there must be something fishy about this competition, and they all started discussing it.

Wang Dun's face turned extremely ugly as he listened to the discussions around him.

Zhao Tongchuan is right here now. If his affair is exposed, it will be difficult for his Laixianglou to stay in Fuxing County.

Qi Feng stepped forward, his gaze towards Wang Dun filled with mockery, and sneered:

"Manager Wang, it seems the competition has concluded. I wonder if the land deed for Lai Xiang Lou is ready?"

Ye Zhiwan, Ye Lingshuang, and Yu Yourong, who had been worried about Qi Feng, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Dun gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he listened to Qi Feng's words; he was furious beyond words.

However, at that moment, a strong and resonant voice came from Laixianglou:

"Magistrate Zhao, what brings you here today? Come, come, it's been a long time! Please come into the Fragrant Pavilion for a chat. We must drink until we drop to our hearts' content."

A middle-aged man walked out of Laixianglou. This man was none other than Wang Dun's father, Wang Huanzhi.

However, Zhao Tongchuan did not respond to Wang Huanzhi's words, but stood still: "So it's Brother Wang. However, I still have matters to attend to today. It's not too late to talk after I've finished my business."

Wang Huanzhi stroked his beard and smiled gently:

"I wonder what brings Magistrate Zhao here today?"

Qi Feng knew he had to step forward and speak to Wang Huanzhi:

"Wang Dun and I made a bet to compete, and now my wine is superior. By all accounts, he should hand over the land deed for the Xianglou. Magistrate Zhao has come today precisely for this reason, to ensure fairness."

However, Wang Huanzhi smiled slightly and shook his head.

He didn't respond directly to Qi Feng, but instead smiled at Zhao Tongchuan:

"Magistrate Zhao, this is nothing more than a petty squabble between juniors. Why should you get involved?"

Qi Feng narrowed his eyes upon hearing Wang Huanzhi's words.

This person just came out and defined his matter with Wang Dun as a minor squabble. Why didn't he come out earlier? Why did he have to wait until now, when Wang Dun is about to lose, to come out?
