Nine-Story Building

Fortunately.

"Fortunately, this guy won't get drunk." The scarred captain looked at the drunk Shen Bailian on his shoulder breathlessly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that if Shen Bailian got drunk, it would be out of control, and he would not only suffer.

The entire government office and Lin'an City would probably suffer.

A congenital warrior who was obsessed with fooling around was more stubborn than a donkey.

It must be said that Shen Bailian was really a big drinker. Jiuchonglou, a kind of wine, has another name in the Song Dynasty, that is--

burning knife.

It means that after ordinary people drink Jiuchonglou, when swallowing, the throat is like a red-hot knife rubbing continuously.

The hot feeling is unbearable.

It is completely different from other famous wines, which are soft and mellow, melt in the mouth, but with a rush, which makes people dare not try it easily.

Of course, Jiuchonglou is not without any advantages, otherwise it would not be served on the table of Fenglelou.

However, the other advantages are just bragging in Scarface's opinion, but there is one advantage that is undeniable.

That is, the high degree of Jiuchonglou can be ranked first among the famous wines of Daxia. After drinking it, the whole body is warm, as if a warm current is flowing in the blood.

This unique feeling is unparalleled in the Song Dynasty.

It is especially suitable for those residents in the north to drink in winter.

At the same time, because of this advantage, Jiuchonglou has become the favorite drink of northern residents in winter, without a doubt.

Naturally, it has become a special supply for the royal family.

Therefore, the price of Jiuchonglou has naturally risen.

Let's not talk about the price of a bottle of Jiuchonglou.

But consider the quantity.

Ordinary people, even those innate warriors, with the help of internal force, cannot drink more than five bottles of Jiuchonglou at a time.

Otherwise, they will inevitably be drunk unconscious.

As for the Grandmaster Realm warriors, they are not within this limit.

And what about Shen Bailian?

In the drinking party just now, Shen Bailian, under the constant persuasion of the Lin'an County Magistrate, drank about thirty bottles of Jiuchonglou at one time, and then fell drunk on the table.

Unconscious.

If it weren't for the fact that the people on the table brought by the Lin'an County Magistrate had basically been drunk, and the Lin'an County Magistrate didn't like (dare not) drink Jiuchonglou.

Otherwise, I'm afraid this drinking party will have to continue for a while before it ends.

As for Master Fahai, after three rounds of drinking, he suddenly found a lame excuse to leave Fengle Tower.

In this regard, the Lin'an County Magistrate naturally agreed and didn't care about it. After confirming that Shen Bailian was drunk and started talking nonsense, he asked Li Gongfu to take another captain to help Shen Bailian go home.

"However, why did the county magistrate suddenly treat Captain Shen like this?" As time passed, the scarred captain became more and more puzzled.

Almost everyone in the Lin'an County Office knows about Shen Bailian's role in the Lin'an County Magistrate's office.

And privately, they have given Shen Bailian a special name for his behavior, that is - a fool.

Yes, a fool.

This kind of somewhat playful title naturally dares not be said by anyone in the outside world, but it is not necessarily the case when they discuss it privately.

Shen Bailian's actions are really too generous. The rewards received by a head constable in his subordinates in a month are equivalent to one or two months' salary.

Not to mention the annual anniversary.

Although being regarded as a fool by others, it is not without benefits in Scarface's view. Although friends who only drink and eat together are unreliable, they are still quite reliable when the money is not dissipated.

And this wine party at Fengle Tower, Scarface has always adhered to the concept of keeping a low profile. After drinking two or three bottles, he declined the invitation with the excuse of being drunk.

As for the other captains, some of them just couldn't bear to watch, so they also found an excuse to leave the table.

Of course, among these captains, there must be some diehard fans of the Lin'an County Magistrate, or people who 100% think Shen Bailian is a sucker.

He urged him to drink fiercely, and finally he was drunk and unconscious.

And because of his idea of ​​keeping himself safe, the scarred captain clearly saw what happened afterwards.

Today's meal was openly invited by the Lin'an County Magistrate, but when it came to paying, it was charged to Shen Bailian's account.

Yes!

The Lin'an County Magistrate invited everyone, and Shen Bailian paid.

And he took advantage of Shen Bailian's drunkenness to put the bill on Shen Bailian's head. It's ridiculous, really ridiculous.

"Hey." Scarface turned his head to the side, looked at Shen Bailian like a defeated dog, and sighed helplessly.

The magistrate of Lin'an City has become more and more greedy recently.

Even this little advantage is taken.

"Why are you sighing?" Li Gongfu raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the scarred captain, curious about what he was thinking.

"I, I..." The scarred captain kept saying "I" for a long time, and finally shook his head and smiled and replied: "No, nothing, let's take Captain Shen home quickly, it's already late at night."

He wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Because Scarface Captor and Li Gongfu worked in the same yamen and under the same person, but there was almost no communication between them.

Of course, let alone being familiar enough to speak intimately.

"Okay." Although Li Gongfu saw some clues, he instinctively did not ask questions because he knew that even if he asked, there would be no results.

Scarface was once a very famous person in Lin'an City County Government.

But because of the impact of something that no one knew about, he suddenly fell into depression. However, as of now, no one knows the specific reason.

Some roads are very far and take decades to reach, such as the distance between children in the mountains and the Children's Palace, Hamburg, and the North.

Some roads are very close, like now.

In silence all the way, Scarface and Li Gongfu soon helped Shen Bailian, who was completely drunk and "unconscious", to the Shen Mansion.

It only took a moment after knocking on the door.

Ta-ta-ta~

As a burst of messy footsteps sounded, the expressions of Scarface and Li Gongfu suddenly changed. They looked at each other, and then their muscles tensed, and they were ready to fight in unison.

This almost silent voice must be that of a large-scale warrior.

In the Shen Mansion, almost all the residents of Lin'an City knew that except for a group of beautiful maids and an old man (housekeeper), there were almost only one or two men left who were responsible for doing heavy physical work.

It was obvious that there was a thief in the Shen Mansion.

Otherwise this strange phenomenon cannot be explained.

"Captain Li, otherwise..." The scar-faced Captor looked at the round and round Mr. Li Gongfu with an uneasy look on his face. It was the first time that he felt that the other person's figure was so majestic, and people couldn't help but feel a kind of emotion. sense of security.

Although he is also a warrior of the ninth level of acquired life, due to his excessive debauchery over the years, he has been drained of his body by drinking and sex.

All his kung fu has long been gone.

He can deal with the street gangsters on the streets of Lin'an City, but facing such a large-scale warrior, he is just like a pig on the chopping board and ready to be slaughtered.

"What are you afraid of? Let's go shoulder to shoulder. Even if it doesn't work, brother, please leave me and Lao Shen, the empress, and we will report to the official."

"..." Scarface turned his head mechanically, looking at Li Gongfu next to him who took a step back slightly, just holding him in front, his eyes flickered fiercely.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to be anthropomorphic, as if to say, "Brother, aren't you kidding me when you put a useless Houtian warrior like me in front?"

As for Li Gongfu, he chose to turn his head and ignore the resentful look in Scarface's head.

At the same time, he was also ready to escape.

What is most important at this critical moment? Of course it’s to save your life! As for Scarface's headhunting, sorry, I'm not familiar with it at all.

However.

"Master, Master, are you okay..."

"Why is my master so drunk? What's going on..."

Just when the two drunkards were hesitating about who was coming last, they suddenly felt a sobering fragrance coming from the tip of their noses, and along with it, there were waves of melancholy sounds that were crisp to the bones.

"This? This..." Li Gongfu looked at the charming eyes in front of him, and his eyes suddenly swayed wildly from side to side, not knowing which one to look at.

People in Lin'an City say that the four fragrances of spring, summer, autumn and winter are fairies from heaven and earth.

But in the eyes of Li Gongfu at this moment, the other maids were not inferior at all compared with them. And due to his different personal vision, he felt that one of the girls had morning flowers in her hair.

Its appearance is even better than the four fragrances.

"Isn't this old Shen afraid of falling into the gentle land?" Scarface looked at the Yingying Yanyan in front of him, and suddenly felt dazzled. At the same time, many thoughts could not help but arise in his heart.

He had a much deeper experience than Li Gongfu about the words "Ren Rou Xiang" and "Heroes' Tomb".

If he hadn't been drinking and having fun all year round, then Li Gongfu would not be the only innate master in Lin'an City County Government.

It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in this world.

There is no regret medicine either.

"Thank you two gentlemen for sending me off." Dongxiang, the most decent and generous person, calmed down the anxious Yingying Yanyan, folded her hands and placed them in front of her belly.

Afterwards, he squatted down slightly and bowed to Scarface Captor and Li Gongfu in a very polite manner.

To express gratitude.

Compared to those ladies from small aristocratic families, she is not inferior.

This scene immediately stunned the half-awake and half-drunk Scarface Captor and Li Gongfu, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Is Shen Lian too busy, or is he too panicked because he has too much money?

He actually trained each of the maids to look like ladies, and each one was more beautiful than the other. No wonder these maids have never been out of the Shen Mansion.

Now the truth is clear.

If the greedy Lin'an City Magistrate saw this, why not immediately use the excuse to ask Shen Bailian to show his filial piety and send these maids to his house?

There is no need to think about this, there is no doubt about it.

The magistrate of Lin'an City is not a good person. Before Shen Bailian came, it was not that he was not greedy, but he did not dare to be greedy too much, especially when it came to plundering people's wealth and anointing.

This kind of thing is the best thing to check.

As for things like taking away wages and robbing civilian girls, the magistrate of Lin'an City has a lot of black gloves.

As for how to explain it to the above, it is very simple. This world is not an ordinary world, but a world where immortals, gods, Buddhas, demons, animals, and humans coexist.

In every city, it is common for a few people to be missing every once in a while due to the evildoers.

Especially the villagers living near Lin'an City.

"Hey, hey, scar face... don't look at it, you've lost your soul." Li Gongfu looked at the scar face of Brother Zhu on the side, and a look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.

Not mentioning the unbearable attitude he showed when he saw the group of maids in Shen Mansion before.

"Yeah." It took Scarface a long time to come back to his senses, nodded, and put back the thoughts he shouldn't have in his heart.

How could he, who had been living and drinking for many years, fail to see the beauty of these maids, and there were also several virgins among them, who looked like they were thirteen or fourteen years old.

To modern man, this is a crime.

But in the Song Dynasty, in this feudal era, due to environmental constraints, the lifespan of ordinary civilians was short. Being able to live healthily to fifty or sixty years old was a sign of great virtue accumulated in the previous life.

Because there are not a few women who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Some are even more so.

"Hey, let me go first..." Scarface said, but suddenly there was no sound in his mouth. He suddenly found that Li Gongfu beside him had disappeared at some point.

If he hadn't been able to see the other person's leaving figure, he would have thought he had seen a ghost.

"It's just right. It doesn't delay the business and saves the explanation." As Scarface walked, he took out a jade bottle stuffed with red cloth from his arms and murmured softly: "Okay, let's be a good man again, and It’s another good thing that no one knows about and no one witnesses.”

As he spoke, the scar-faced catcher pulled open the red cloth on the mouth of the bottle with his hands, and then sprinkled the colorless and odorless powder on the street.

The white powder floated in the wind, and within a short time, it completely dissipated in the air.

No trace at all.

Half an hour later~

In a room with the lights still on in the Lin'an City County Government Office.

"How are things going?" The magistrate of Lin'an City was lying leisurely on the rocking chair, enjoying the massage from his servant. His body was hidden behind the curtain, and his face was difficult to see.

"Perfectly completed the task assigned by the master." The scar-faced catcher lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Just in case, I have given Shen Lian all the medicine you mentioned."

"well done."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"Okay, you go down."

The scar-faced catcher was stunned for a moment, wasn't it? There wasn't even a reward for this? But due to the formality, he could only reply helplessly: "Here." (End of Chapter)
