Chapter 88
After Jiang Qiao finished speaking, the girls stepped forward enthusiastically, looking shyly at the man in front of him.

To be honest, in terms of appearance and temperament, Xie Zhan has never lost to anyone.What is particularly intoxicating is the handsome gentleman who looks at you with a flirtatious look.

At that glance, it was like a kindling that fell into the dry woodpile, instantly burning the heart, and burning it for him was also a pleasure.

And looking at the over forty, potbellied Sheriff Jiang next to him, all the girls thought that being able to serve such a gentleman was something they wished for.

Xie Zhan looked at their eagerness to try, and chuckled lightly.

This sound was completely different from his previous frivolous smile, and it contained a hint of contempt.

Jiang Qiao couldn't help but looked over strangely, as if asking: Not satisfied?
Xie Zhan just said playfully: "It looks like you have some skills, why don't you show it first?"

When he said the words of refusal, there was flow between his brows and eyes, and he was as calm and composed as usual, with desire, unrestrained and romantic mixed together.

At this moment, Jiang Qiao suddenly realized that it seemed that the person in front of him was much deeper than his frivolous appearance, and he couldn't see it clearly.

When he was in a trance, Xie Zhan asked him again with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, what do you think? As for me, I got hurt because of my concubine, so I'm not suitable for entering the water. I got angry again last night." , Tired all night. How about having a few drinks and listening to some music to cheer you up? At least let me see how the girls from Geyang County are different from those from Jiankang."

Xie Zhan has been in the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple for many years, and he pays attention to tightness in doing things.Not only are there good reasons for what he said, but most importantly, he secretly held the initiative in his own hands.

Jiang Qiao's initial suspicion was extinguished by him, who looked like a dandy who looked like a court lady.

If he wanted to drink now, Jiang Qiao couldn't ask for more.

Therefore, the two temporarily shelved the plan of soaking in the hot spring pool, and moved to a banquet in an elegant room by the mountain.

The elegant room is backed by the mountain and faces the cliff. For the convenience of viewing the scenery, the windows are set to be extremely large.

The crystal-like soft curtain flutters gently with the mountain wind, and the tassels placed on the left and right sides sway. Occasionally, a cool breeze blows in, which brings refreshment to this elegant room that is not exposed to heat. Outside the window, there are green trees and mountains, kingfishers To Ming.

This is extremely elegant, very suitable for the environment of reciting poems and fighting against each other.Ironically, what rang in my ears was an unbearable and decadent song.

The sound of the piano is continuous, singing and dancing slowly, singing softly.

Xie Zhan sneered in his heart, glanced at the wine Jiang Qiao poured, and drank it down without saying a word.

Such straightforwardness greatly pleased Jiang Qiao.

When dealing with the rich and powerful in the officialdom, at least on the surface, you have to show an unhesitating trust in the other party. In the next step, whether you pretend to be a snake or communicate sincerely, you can continue smoothly.

Xie Zhan dared to drink like this. Firstly, it was because he was well versed in the way of interrogation. He could tell at a glance whether something had been tampered with in the drink; Things, he still has a way to hide it from the world.

The fact that Jiang Qiao dared to poison Fuxuan proved that this person had a lot of secret drugs in his hands.Today, he was specially invited to be alone on this mountain, so Xie Zhan had to be careful.

That's why he didn't change his clothes just now.

The wine and drink went so smoothly, Jiang Qiao was overjoyed, and filled up several more glasses, and drank with Xie Zhan, as if he had just met a new year friend.

As the two chatted over cups, Jiang Qiao intentionally or unintentionally brought up the topic of the Zhou family's property, but Xie Zhan answered calmly.Xie Zhan was able to answer fluently even about the Fengyue affair in Jiankang City, and even talked about it like a few treasures.

After all, his interesting Shangfeng Yang Siqing has always been eloquent and eloquent about these romantic cases.He just doesn't want to know a thing or two, and it's difficult.

After a long while, Xie Zhan took the initiative to ask: "Master Jiang, forgive me, I'm in Jiankang City, and I don't have much experience. My hobbies are just eating, drinking, and having fun. I don't know much about the current wealthy families. , it seems that there is no branch in Jiankang City, I don't know, where is this family?"

This is the headquarters of Jiang Qiao's ancestral home.

Jiang Qiao raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Zhan, without hesitation, she replied, "Jingzhou."

On the surface, Xie Zhan's words were asking about his origin, but in fact, he was asking about his identity.

The selection of officials in Daliang is mostly based on recommendation, and high-ranking officials recommend low-ranking officials, who are appointed immediately after being selected.

The county guard is the fourth rank of official, although he is not considered noble, he is also the top rank.Jiang's family is a small family, and it doesn't show its mountains or dews. To suddenly produce a high-ranking official, apart from being specially promoted by Emperor Mu'an or the late emperor, it can only rely on the recommendation of some aristocratic family.

Emperor Mu Andi's promotion scope is limited, except for those who have made great military achievements like Fu's family, others are extremely limited.Then, the biggest possibility is that he is backed by a great family.

And this family, I am afraid, is closely related to the soldiers on the mountain.

Xie Zhan was expecting to get some clues from him, but unexpectedly, Jiang Qiao replied: "To tell you the truth from Zhou Yushi, our Jiang family fought desperately in the Baiyue Army before."

When he heard "Jingzhou", Xie Zhan's heart was shocked, and when he heard "Baiyue Army", his doubts became even bigger.

For nothing else, Gein, the former general of the Baiyue Army, was Fu Yiwen.

This means that the Jiang family has something to do with the Fu family.

Could it be that the Jiang family grew up relying on the support of the family?

Wait, Jingzhou, the Jiang family, Jiang Yu, the internal history of Jingzhou.

Could it be that Jiang Qiao is the relative of Jiang Yu, the inner history of Jingzhou, who unintentionally killed his mother for the sake of the beauty of the country but did not please her mother-in-law?
While Xie Zhan was wandering, Jiang Qiao continued: "My father served under the command of the Duke of Nanjun when he was alive. Speaking of which, the Duke of Nanjun died of illness, and the next official should go to worship for my father, but he has no skills to spare. Hey..."

Since there is a feeling of worship, it means that Jiang's father either has a close relationship with Fu Yiwen, or he has received Fu Yiwen's kindness.

He was implying that the Jiang family and the Fu family were constantly involved in what he said, Xie Zhan felt his fingers tightened.

He pretended not to understand why, raised his eyebrows at Jiang Qiao and said with a smile: "Although the Zhou family doesn't have much friendship with the Duke of Nanjun, I often see the Duke of Nanjun in court. It was less than half a year since the Fu family moved to Jiankang City, and now It's a pity that he passed away suddenly."

Looking over at Jiang Qiao, he said it was a pity, but the half-smile seemed to say: It's good to go.

Some things can be said to the end, and if you say more, you will have more reasons. Jiang Qiao remained calm and brought a new pot of wine.

He smiled back at Xie Zhan and said: "Isn't that right? Don't talk about these irrelevant things, Zhou Yushi, come and taste this wine. There is a saying that 'Yuzhou fine wine tulip', this 'Yuqiongye' is the most famous in Yuzhou You have to taste the fine wine."

The jug is a yin and yang mouth.

"Really?" Xie Zhan acted as if he hadn't seen anything, but still smiled, "I have to taste it, whether it's better wine or people."

The corners of Jiang Qiao's lips and brows stretched out at his fingertips, as if "a thousand cups of wine are too few for a bosom friend", and he wanted to get drunk before he could rest.

"Come, come!" Jiang Qiao said, pouring a full cup for Xie Zhan himself, and then staring at him, waiting for him to drink.

 Jiang Yu, who was mentioned in Chapter 47, was the trigger for Xie Zhan's divorce.Will appear later.
