Chapter 789 I Don’t Believe He Is a Saint

"We can't convict them based on hearsay. Unless we have evidence, we can't do anything to them." Jiang Youzhen shook his head.

"Are you still going to the banquet tonight?" Fang Zhongyi asked, pointing at the invitation in Jiang Youzhen's hand.

"Go! How can you know their purpose if you don't go? If they want to assassinate me, then that's just right. We can capture them in one fell swoop and interrogate them slowly.

It will take two days to transfer the account books from the Salt Commissioner's Office and the salt field. We can't do anything in these two days. It's better to let the Yu family introduce us to the person behind the scenes. It's better than not even meeting him."

Jiang Youzhen thought, since they are skilled and brave, he might as well go and meet them.

"Reply to the post and tell them that I will definitely come as promised tonight."

North City Yu Family

"Master, everything has been arranged." Manager Qiu said respectfully.

"Hmph! Let's give him some face today. If he knows what's best for him, we'll save ourselves a lot of trouble. But if he doesn't, Xu Zhanrong's fate will be his." Yu Zhaorong sneered.

"But, I heard that this person is unyielding to any persuasion! When the case of treason was being investigated, he avoided those people and was not tempted at all. Can we really do this?" Manager Qiu was very worried. He always felt that the master was too confident.

"Everyone has shortcomings. I don't believe he is a saint. He was born in a humble family and is still a young man. How can we know he is useless if we don't try? This is Lin'an Prefecture, not the capital.

In the capital, he couldn't do anything, but in Lin'an Prefecture, where the emperor is far away, that's not certain."

Yu Zhaorong smiled meaningfully, and Manager Qiu immediately understood.

"Have the other two companies been notified?" Yu Zhaorong suddenly thought of those two companies and asked with a frown.

"I've already informed you that I'll be attending the banquet tonight."

"They wouldn't dare to refuse!" Yu Zhaorong said proudly.

Longchuan Lake, painted boat

"I've heard that Jiangnan has beautiful scenery. It turns out that the night view at night is also very charming. In early spring, I can actually enjoy the night view on the lake. The lanterns are also magnificent!"

The young man's clear voice sounded, with admiration mixed in his tone.

"Hahaha! Lord Jiang is from the north, so I'm afraid he has never seen the characteristics of our Jiangnan region. We are a water town here. Not only is there Longchuan Lake, but the houses and buildings are also built by the water, and you can paddle a boat through the water.

If you encounter continuous spring rain, standing on the bridge and looking out, it would be like a poem or a painting. "

A hearty voice then sounded, the words very proud.

In the middle of the lake stands a huge pleasure boat, decorated with colorful silks and looking very luxurious.

A beautiful maid holding a wine jug lifted the felt curtain and walked into the houseboat.

"Master Jiang, please try our Jiangnan fruit wine. Although it is not as good as the strong wines in the capital, it has its own mellow aroma."

The first man in his fifties at the lower left raised his glass to Jiang Youzhen at the top. Jiang Youzhen picked up the wine cup and took a sip. Immediately, a fresh fruity aroma filled his nose.

"Huh? It's different from ordinary fruit wine and is indeed mellower!" Jiang Youzhen's eyes lit up.

"This is a special fruit wine, fermented from more than a dozen kinds of fruits. Have you ever tasted monkey wine? Although this is not as good as it, it also has some flavor."

Yu Zhaorong watched Jiang Youzhen drink another glass, his cheeks flushed with rouge, his eyes became brighter, and he smiled meaningfully.

"I wonder what Lord Qin thinks of this wine?"

Yu Zhaorong looked at Qin Yandong, who was sitting slightly below Jiang Youzhen. This man was the third son of the eldest son of the Duke of Qin in the capital. He had a noble status and was also the Secretary of the Dali Temple. He had a bright future and should not be offended.

Compared to Jiang Youzhen, who has no foundation at all, Yu Zhaorong feels that Qin Yandong is the person who should not be offended the most.

"Not bad!" Qin Yandong also nodded in approval, but it was still a little worse than the Dream Building of Fusheng Winery.

He likes strong liquor, but he doesn't like the sweet ones.

"This wine was brewed by the old lady of the Yu family herself. The Yu family mostly gives it away as gifts and rarely sells it. We are benefiting from the kindness of Lord Jiang and Lord Qin today!"

The heads of the Wan family and the Yun family raised their glasses and smiled widely.

"You two family masters are joking. If you want it, I will have someone deliver it to your homes later." Yu Zhaorong said.

"Thank you very much, Master Yu." The two of them thanked him repeatedly.

The maid waiting at the side saw that Jiang Youzhen's wine cup was almost empty, so she stepped forward and refilled it.

I don’t know what kind of incense the girl used, but it tasted sweet, and it rushed straight to Jiang Youzhen’s head like fruit wine, making him feel a little dizzy.

At a glance, the girl's pink and white arms under the tulle were smooth and shiny.

Jiang Youzhen looked away and loosened his collar a little. There were too many charcoal basins in the cabin and it was a little hot.

"Master Jiang, Jiangnan is not only a beautiful place with beautiful scenery, but also beautiful people. Each of the three pleasure boats on Longchuan Lake has a famous courtesan in Jiangnan. These three are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing.

The Jiangnan girls speak in a very different dialect than the Beijing girls. Why not let them sing and dance for you to liven up the atmosphere?"

Jiang Youzhen waved his hands quickly, "I came here today for serious business, no, no!"

"Hey, sir, let's get back to business. Even if we sing and dance to liven up the atmosphere, that's fine too!"

Yu Zhaorong clapped his hands three times as he spoke, and soon many women came in one after another.

The gauze curtain on the opposite side was lifted, and soon a woman with a pipa in her arms and half her face covered was seen bowing to everyone.

The woman plucked the strings of the pipa, and suddenly the sound became like a trickle of water, melodious and lingering.

However, everyone's attention was soon attracted to the woman surrounded by the girls. Her face was covered with a pearl curtain and she was dressed very boldly. The light gauze wrapped around her graceful figure, which stunned everyone.

Especially the woman's eyes are moving, and every move she makes is full of charm.

Jiang Youzhen drank two cups in a row, while Yu Zhaorong, who was sitting opposite him, raised his glass to hide the sarcastic smile on his face.

Wanniangsong and Yun Henian below looked at each other, then smiled and looked at the singing and dancing again.

Suddenly, a gorgeous woman in red appeared. Her dance moves were vigorous and heroic.

Two beauties were dancing together, and everyone's attention was completely attracted by the singing and dancing. How could they remember the previous business?

No wonder the ancient emperors loved to watch singing and dancing performances every day, everyone would love to watch this! Jiang Youzhen complained in his heart.

Everyone was mesmerized by the performance and after the dance was over, they were still dazed for a long time.

"Lord Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Yu Zhaorong suddenly asked.

Jiang Youzhen stroked his forehead and said, "I am a little drunk!"

"Oh! That's my fault. Although this wine is fruit wine, it still has a strong aftertaste. Lord Jiang, why don't you rest here? There are many rooms here."

"Master Jiang, are you drunk?" Qin Yandong frowned. What's going on? Is this the only way you can drink?

But the cabin was indeed a bit hot. He sighed and was about to remind Jiang Youzhen when he heard a bang.

When he looked at Jiang Youzhen again, he found that he was drunk and lying on the table.
