Chapter 58 Junior Brother

"It's a small mistake, just let the people below correct it," Tang Yuanqing replied with a smile.

"At that time, all ministries were very busy, and mistakes were common. For example, I miscounted the weapons of the Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of War three times. I filled the number of crossbows to the bottom of the bow. Wang Fu, the Minister of War, almost lost his beard. I'm so angry." Zheng Li turned the cup in his hand embarrassedly.

Tang Yuanqing flicked the back of Zheng Li's head, "You are used to being reckless, how can you compare with Master Shen?"

While they were talking, the dishes they ordered had already been served. The dishes at Zuixianglou were really different. As soon as the dishes were served, the mouth-watering aroma made people’s stomachs rumble. It was made from crispy duck. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the pickled fish is so appetizing and delicious that even a picky eater like Shen Jinyu can't pick it up.

"Here," after the dishes were served, Zheng Li took out his new good wine and poured a full glass for Shen Jinyu and Song Yao, "This is the peach blossom wine I got by chance. Not only is the wine made from the best peach blossoms, but also When stored in the cellar, they are wrapped in peach petals."

Shen Jinyu picked up the wine in the cup and smelled it. There was indeed a peach blossom aroma. He took a sip and found it was bitter in the mouth and slightly sweet in the aftertaste. It had a very peculiar taste.

Song Yao was a lover of wine. He only took a sip and praised it repeatedly, "This wine is really delicious. Please call me if you have good wine in the future."

"That's for sure. Who doesn't know that Mr. Song likes wine?" Tang Yuanqing gave Zheng Li a piece of ribs and a bowl of soup for him. He looked like a sensible elder brother taking care of his younger brother, but Shen Jinyu took a look. Tang Yuanqing looked at Zheng Li and felt something was wrong. He ate a chopstick of duck meat and asked casually, "How do Master Tang and Master Zheng know each other?"

"It's fate. At that time, I went to Beijing from my hometown to take up my post." Tang Yuanqing took a sip of wine and his eyes fell into memories. "When I was resting in an inn, I met someone who was drunk and making trouble. I went to break up the fight, and I also broke up the fight. I met Mr. Zheng and exchanged a few words to break up the fight. After leaving the inn, I rested at a tea stall. While drinking tea, I met Mr. Zheng again. After talking with him, I found out that Mr. Zheng also went to Beijing to take up a post. So they come together,"

Song Yao: "You are really destined to be together, Mr. Tang is gentle and steady, and Mr. Zheng is a bit reckless, but lively and lovable. It's interesting that you two can become such good friends with your personalities."

"Yes, at that time I felt that we were destined to meet by chance twice in a row, but it turned out that we were even more destined to go to Beijing to take up posts. But there is one thing that Brother Tang didn't say right. I didn't meet you because I broke up a fight. It was that drunken man who almost hit you on the head with a stool when he was making trouble, but I stepped forward and kicked him away. The hero saved my brother!" Zheng Li patted his chest proudly.

Tang Yuanqing glanced at him sideways and put the dish that was meant for Zheng Li back into his bowl, "Tell everyone you meet that I'm done with your pride."

Zheng Li: "That's for sure."

Shen Jinyu chuckled and said, "I seem to remember Mr. Tang saying that we got to know Mr. Zheng because he rescued you."

"See, Mr. Shen also remembers it," Zheng Li felt even more proud as if he had found someone who spoke for him.

Tang Yuanqing laughed and raised his glass to Shen Jinyu, "I have forgotten about Master Shen."

"Hahahahahaha, Mr. Tang has a delicate mind, and he will forget what he said," Song Yao stretched his head and watched the excitement.

The meal was quite harmonious and happy. After the meal and the wine, they parted in front of the gate of Zuixiang Tower. Shen Jinyu planned to return to his residence, and Song Yao also returned to the palace.

Fang Changan, who was lecturing in Ganshu Building, was leading his disciples to overlook the scenery of the imperial city and asked them to write about the imperial city in their eyes. A sharp-eyed disciple saw Shen Jinyu not far away, pointed at him and said: "Mr. , that one seems to be Mr. Shen."

Fang Changan took one look, blew his beard, rolled his eyes and said, "That is not a good person, he has a bad temper, and he is good at killing innocent people indiscriminately. You are not allowed to imitate him in the future, otherwise you will be kicked out of my sect."

Several disciples responded one after another: "Yes, sir!"

Shen Jinyu, who was not a good person, was walking when her eyebrows suddenly jumped twice.

As soon as he returned to the house, Lin Qingqiu came up to him and whispered in his ear: "Sir, I caught a sneaky person outside the house today. He said he was your former junior brother."

Shen Jinyu frowned, "Junior brother?"

Lin Qingqiu nodded: "His behavior is really suspicious, and his speech is unclear. My subordinates are worried that he has evil intentions, so they have put him in a secret cell without anyone seeing him."

The secret prison of Shen's house is under a bamboo forest in the backyard, and was built secretly by Shen Jinyu herself.

Shen Jinyu didn't say much, and followed Lin Qingqiu straight through the backyard to the secret cell. As soon as he reached the door, people's voices came from inside: "Is this the way you treat guests when you serve the Lieutenant? Don't treat me. It’s okay to just sit in the house, but they imprison me in a place like this.”

Shen Jinyu came down from the steps, walked through the dim corridor, and walked to the cell. In the cell at the front, there was a man in white standing on the iron door, shouting outside.

Shen Jinyu looked at it intently and couldn't help but be confused, "Fang Ruzhen?"

When Fang Ruzhen heard the voice, his voice immediately rose, and he said excitedly: "Shen Jinyu... No, Master Shen, I am Fang Ruzhen, I am your junior brother Fang Ruzhen!"

Shen Jinyu found it funny, "When did you call me senior brother in Changlin?" He sat down on the chair in front of Fang Ruzhen, lowered his head and played with the sword spike, "Why did you come to me?"

"I," Fang Ruzhen stammered with a look of embarrassment on his face, "I heard that you are now a high official, so I thought, I want you to help me. You are so powerful, so helping me is just a matter of words. Son, we have a deep friendship as members of the same family, you..."

"Let's get down to business!" Shen Jinyu glanced at him impatiently.

Fang Ruzhen was frightened by Shen Jinyu's sinister eyes. He swallowed his saliva and pleaded, "I, I heard that your Heaven-breaking Army will recruit disciples from the Jianghu sect. After Changlin is gone, I went home. I originally ran a small business at home, but my parents were plotted by their colleagues. They lost all their property and were in debt. My family could no longer survive. I looked around for a way to survive, and then I thought of you. Looking for a job in the Potian Army."

After hearing this, Shen Jinyu only felt funny, "Why do you think I will help you?"

There was a cry in Fang Ruzhen's voice, "I know I couldn't help you in the past. I shouldn't have bullied you. I even used the death of your parents to attack you, and even got angry at you and often beat you. But you, you also discounted me." My legs, we can be considered clean, I beg you, I beg you, help me, my parents are no longer able to work, the family can only rely on me, I beg you, let me find a job Errand."
