Chapter 397 Pouring Wine
Prime Minister Feng licked the earthenware bowl containing the cake until it shone brightly.
After licking, I took the handkerchief and wiped my hands clean, feeling like I hadn't had enough.
Hearing that Miss Su had arrived, he turned around and shamelessly asked Su Qianqian, "Miss Su, we've finished the cake on the table. Would you mind having another one?"
Unbeknownst to him, his previous secret conversation had been overheard by the macaw hiding in the flowerbed, and had already been relayed to Su Qianqian by the macaw.
Su Qianqian thought that since Prime Minister Feng wanted to harm her father, she would definitely retaliate.
"Prime Minister Feng, I'm sorry, all the cakes have already been served. There are no more cakes left in the kitchen, so we cannot refill them."
As he spoke, he put the bulging purse at Prime Minister Feng's waist into his spatial storage.
The purse contained the official seal, the seal of the prime minister.
Gu's Tea House was well-informed, so she knew long ago that Prime Minister Feng liked to carry his official seal in a purse.
Losing one's official seal is a very serious matter for an official. We'll just have to see how Emperor Jing of Qi punishes it. If the punishment is severe, it's normal for him to be dismissed from office.
Since you don't want me to have an easy time, then I won't let you have an easy time either.
Even if Prime Minister Feng discovers the official seal is missing, he won't suspect her, because the surrounding guests can all testify that she is currently standing two meters away from Prime Minister Feng, and has no chance to get close enough to steal the official seal.
Su Qianqian walked a few tables forward and came to her father Su Bing's side, where she found that Feng Yuanxi was also sitting at the same table.
She knew Feng Yuanxi well; she would never harm her father.
Moreover, Prime Minister Feng doted on his youngest son the most and would not allow him to be involved in any bad events.
Therefore, all six other people are suspects.
These people are all suspected of harming their fathers, especially the military officer surnamed Sun who sits next to his father, as it is easier to bribe him if he sits next to his father.
Su Qianqian used her mind to collect the items carried by Commander Sun and found that there was indeed a silver note worth ten thousand taels of silver among them.
Therefore, the person who conspired with Prime Minister Feng and Lord Lu to harm his father must be this Commander Sun.
If Commander Sun wants to get his father drunk, then she'll take the initiative and get Commander Sun drunk first.
Su Qianqian quietly took out a small white porcelain wine pot from her spatial storage and handed it to the old woman next to her who was responsible for pouring the wine, giving the old woman a wink.
So the old woman poured a different kind of wine for Commander Sun.
This kind of wine is called "one-cup knockout." Even people with a high alcohol tolerance are no match for it; they will get drunk and unconscious after just one small cup.
Sure enough, when Commander Sun offered Su Bing a toast, he fell asleep on the table after only one cup, snoring loudly.
The other person at the table, Zhu Baihu, was in cahoots with Sun Qianhu. They originally planned to get Su Bing drunk together, but Zhu Baihu discovered that Sun Qianhu had already passed out after only one drink.
This Commander Sun actually had the nerve to claim he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk; it turns out he was just bragging.
Su Qianqian was about to go to the female guests' area to greet them. She instructed Feng Yuanxi, "Could you please keep an eye on my father and make sure he doesn't get drunk? I'll reward you with two peaches later."
After saying that, he directly stuffed a large peach into Feng Yuanxi's hand, "Here's one for you, I'll have someone bring the other one later."
The men at the table were all incredibly jealous; the peaches Miss Su grew were very valuable, costing over ten thousand taels of silver each.
I envy Prime Minister Feng's youngest son's good fortune, getting two peaches at once.
Feng Yuanxi was also excited, but for a different reason; his excitement wasn't because of the two peaches.
Instead, he felt that Miss Su must think he was very capable, which was why she entrusted him with such an important task.
Feng Yuanxi patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Miss Su, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
After Su Qianqian left, Zhu Baihu used the excuse of going to the toilet to meet with Lord Lu.
The two stood behind an artificial hill, talking quietly.
Zhu Baihu: "Lord Lu, something terrible has happened! Commander Sun failed to get Su Bing drunk, but he himself has gotten so drunk that he's unconscious."
"Then this task will be entrusted to you. Don't worry, the impact of bribery on you is temporary. In a year or two, the Prime Minister will definitely promote you greatly."
Commander Sun was drunk, and Lord Lu didn't know where Commander Sun had put the 10,000 tael silver note he had prepared in advance. So Lord Lu could only take out another 10,000 tael silver note and hand it to Commander Zhu.
He held the silver note tightly for a long time before finally letting go.
It feels like every time I try to deal with that little girl, something unexpected always happens.
Is it really that God is favoring that little girl?
"Commander Zhu, take this carefully. It's your last ten thousand taels of silver note. If you mess this up, you can forget about ever getting ahead in your life."
Seeing that Lord Lu seemed reluctant to part with the money, Zhu Baihu declined. "I brought the deed to my family's house, worth over eight thousand taels. It would be better to use that as a bribe. Lord Lu, rest assured, I will definitely serve the Prime Minister wholeheartedly."
Zhu Baihu put the house deed back into his pocket, returned to the table, and began to toast Su Bing.
As a result, he offered more than a dozen toasts, but Feng Yuanxi refused them all.
Feng Yuanxi said with a righteous expression, "General Su is not a good drinker, so I will drink it for him."
General Su refers to Su Bing, who was previously appointed as a Grand General of the Third Rank by Emperor Qi Jing. Now, when officials see Su Bing, they all respectfully address him as Grand General.
Zhu Baihu genuinely wanted to help the Prime Minister, and there was another reason as well.
He believed that Su Bing had no ability whatsoever and was not worthy of being a general of the third rank.
Su Bing is a parasitic general who rose to power by relying on his daughter; he is not worthy of respect.
Feng Yuanxi had a low alcohol tolerance and quickly became tipsy, hugging the peach and laughing foolishly.
Zhu Baihu's eyes gleamed with relief; he finally didn't have to deal with Prime Minister Feng's youngest son anymore.
He quickly moved Commander Sun, who was sitting next to Su Bing, away and sat down next to Su Bing himself.
"General Su, I have long admired your name and have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity. Today I am fortunate to meet you, but I feel that we have been longing to meet."
Zhu Baihu got Su Bing drunk after offering him less than five cups of wine.
Just to be on the safe side, he shook Su Bing and found that Su Bing was indeed asleep by the table.
He took out the house deed and handed it to Su Bing, finally fulfilling the task assigned to him by the Prime Minister and Lord Lu, and felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Zhu Baihu stood up and stretched. The aroma of the peaches was so tempting that, since he was standing quite close, he wanted to reach out and touch the peaches that cost more than 10,000 taels each to see what they felt like.
Feng Yuanxi was quite drunk; he saw double.
Although he was drunk, he still valued the peaches given to him by Miss Su as if they were his life. When he saw someone reach out to touch his peaches, he quickly snatched them and took a bite.
After taking a bite of the peach, Feng Yuanxi immediately became clear-headed, and his eyes became very clear.
He turned his head and saw that General Su had been drunk and passed out. Oh no, he had messed up the task that Miss Su had entrusted to him.
Feng Yuanxi felt very guilty and immediately slapped himself on the right cheek.
