Chapter 181 The Anger of the Minister (Part [-])

Wen Xiang is in a good mood recently.

The first is because of Fenghuang.

After he returned to Beijing from Ji'an Temple, he felt that everyone was very pleasing to the eye, and the ministers didn't see much of his face.

The second is because of King Boss.

The two talked happily during the secret meeting, not only basically eliminated the previous grievances, but also reached a new consensus.

Although their relationship is still in the confidential stage, it does not prevent him from having a happy mood.

Compared with the prince, King Bosi is more in line with his expectations for a king of a country.

Moreover, this relationship was achieved through his own hard work, rather than relying on nepotism, which gave him an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

Once King Bosi becomes the crown prince or even the emperor, he will definitely be able to overwhelm Xia Ning with this support.

After the court was over that day, he specially invited a few officials who had a good relationship with him on weekdays to have lunch in Yipinlou.

The officials were taken aback.

Wen Xiang is notoriously stingy, so suddenly asking them to dinner is scary enough.

What Piansheng's family went to was not an ordinary restaurant, but Yipinlou, one of the best restaurants in the capital.

A decent banquet in this place costs 20 taels, and 80 [-] taels is also very common.

If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.Especially when Shangfeng showed his kindness to them, it was really scary.

Just when they were panicking, Wen Xiang smiled and invited them into the carriage, and not long after they arrived at the most luxurious private room in Yipin Building.

Wen Jing, who had always shown his image as an upright official, suddenly changed. Of course, it couldn't be because of this little bit of complacency. He had a bigger purpose.

However, before he even took a bite of the 100 taels of rice noodles, bursts of noise drifted into the private room from the window.

An official frowned and said, "When did Yipin Building become so careless? It's such a disappointment!"

Another official took a peek at Wen Xiang, saw that his smile was still there, and hurriedly said: "It's just a little noise, we should all learn from the Prime Minister, no matter what the situation is, we should be the Prime Minister."

This is pure flattery.

Wen Jing's appearance is ordinary, his temperament is not good, and he is not particular about his clothes.

Compared with the Prime Minister Xia Ningze back then, he was far behind in all aspects.

If it weren't for someone who knew the truth, everyone here today would be more like a prime minister than him.

Wen Jing was even happier after hearing this, and ordered his followers to pour wine for the officials.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the entourage picked up the flagon, the noise outside the window became louder, and a few words "wen" were faintly mixed in it.

Of course, there are many words with the same pronunciation, so there is no need to think too much.

Several officials continued the previous conversation without taking it seriously.

Wen Jing has always been very suspicious, and his complexion gradually became unsightly.

Others only heard the word "wen", but he could clearly hear the word "gongzi".

The third child has become much more obedient recently, but the fourth child is still as ignorant as ever.

Wen Jingquan knew about the fact that the eldest grandson of the emperor took him to the brothel and gambling house, but at this critical moment, it might not be the best cover.

His Majesty's rejection of the prince does not mean that he wants everyone to follow his lead.

The fourth child is the cousin of the emperor's eldest grandson, and he is willing to be with him at this time, which can be regarded as showing the Wen family's attitude.

But just because he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, it doesn't mean that the Wen family's reputation can be ruined at will.

In a battle like today, the fourth child must have caused a lot of trouble.

Of course, everyone in the world knew that he had raised an incompetent young son. Although it was a bit embarrassing to ask in front of the officials, it also seemed very frank.

He asked his entourage to call a waiter's younger brother over.

"What's going on outside?" Wen Jing asked.

The second brother pretended not to know his identity, and said: "Return to the official, our first-class building is not far from the government office, these people are all there for the excitement there."

"Fu Ya?" Wen Jing's face became even more ugly.

Fuya is a very serious place, and today it looks like a vegetable market!
The official sitting next to him said: "Prefect Zhang has a good reputation as an official. He has always been conscientious and dedicated to his duties. Did something happen today?"

The second elder brother said: "I heard that a nobleman abducted a girl from a good family, but another nobleman took her.

The two sides could not settle down, so they went to the government office to ask the magistrate to distinguish right from wrong. "

He is not very young, but he is extremely eloquent, it's just that there is one noble son on the left, and another noble son, which confuses everyone present.

Wen Jing winked at the attendant, motioning him to go to the government office to have a look.

The attendant cupped his fists and exited the private room.

Officials have some recollection.

Wen Xiang's face is so ugly, could it be that the younger brother just said that there is a son of the Wen family among the nobles?

If this is the case, is he the former noble son or the latter noble son?

If it's the latter, then there's nothing to say.

If it's the first one, then...

But after a cup of tea, the entourage came back.

Looking at his face which is uglier than Wen Jing, what do the officials not understand?
Several people had a haha, each found an excuse to leave.

Lao Cai'er's rice was really not that delicious, and he couldn't swallow it when it reached his mouth.

Be careful in the future, don't miss the mutton and cause a show.

"Let's talk." Wen Jing threw the wine glass casually, and said coldly.

The entourage hurriedly said: "Master Xiang, today's affairs are a bit complicated..."

"Then say the same thing!"

"Yes... besides the Fourth Young Master, there is also the Third Young Master in the government office..."

"The third child also got involved?" Wen Jing was lucky, and felt a dull pain in his chest.

The attendant pursed his lips: "This subordinate hasn't finished speaking... Besides the two sons, there is also that Yingniang..."

"Yingniang?" Wen Jing was a little confused: "Who is this?"

The entourage was about to cry.

Master Xiang's brain is undoubtedly smart, and his memory is far beyond that of ordinary people.

But even the name he remembered, why did the old man forget it so completely?

"Yingniang... Yingniang is the former friend... of the third son..."

Wen Jing finally remembered who Yingniang was.

That brothel prostitute who has been entangled with the third child for a long time and is said to have ruined Wen's family is still alive?

Moreover, the old man clearly promised that he would never get entangled with those dubious women in the future, so what is today's outing?
"It's unreasonable!" Wen Jing slapped the table hard, and the cups, plates and bowls fell to the ground.

"Did you know about this before?" he asked sharply.

The entourage hurriedly knelt down: "I really don't know, please enlighten me."

"If you really don't know, you can't escape the guilt! What is the purpose of supporting you?
It's unbelievable that a small brothel prostitute can escape from the knives of so many killers.

What about her little bastard, is she still alive? "

The follower said: "I just heard from someone that Yingniang did mention a child named Jungeer.

It is said that the wife even bought a farm for their mother and son..."
