Chapter 16 The hush money has not been warmed up yet, people lose their memory

  The next day, Wei Mao received the invitation with a serious expression on his face.

  It's just a relative, but even the prefect was hired, which is a bit too much.

  Drunkard's intention is not to drink, Wei Mao feels that there is another mystery to this matter, it is not as simple as making a relationship.

and…

   Wei Mao looked at Lu Bei's name on the invitation, and was a little confused for a while. Zhu Ting held a banquet in Mingyue Tower. There are several explanations for inviting him to go. What does it mean to invite Lu Bei to come over?

   Too few people, make up the number?

   Wei Mao didn’t know why, but he still chose to go to the banquet. The prefect had to give him face, so he sent a message to his county lieutenant superior, and came to Mingyue Tower at the appointed time.

  Mingyue Building is located on the bustling main street, and most of the people who come in and out are wealthy businessmen. As a famous local banquet resort, you must make an appointment to queue up for meals.

  A century-old store, with such rules, it won't work for anyone.

   The prefect is an exception.

  The attitude of the shopkeeper is very clear, the bad rules have nothing to do with the prefect, it is purely out of his respect for the prefect.

   Lu Bei went to the banquet with Wei Mao, and in the private room on the second floor, he met this prefect who climbed to a high position by his own efforts without relying on his ancestors.

  Wangzhi is personable, a refined middle-aged man.

  Wei Mao will go to the military camp tomorrow, drink tea instead of wine, and drink three cups in a row to apologize. Zhu Ting was not annoyed, he said he was unwell, and changed to tea.

   After three rounds of tea, Zhu Kui made an invitation, saying that he had found a singer in the next room, and pulled Lu Bei to appreciate it.

   This scene is familiar to Lu Bei. Today's protagonists are Zhu Ting and Wei Mao. The two have a secret talk, and the scene is about to be cleared.

  He nodded towards Wei Mao, and came to nextdoor with Zhu Kui, and there was another banquet in sight. To his disappointment, behind the semi-transparent screen, there was not even a ghost, let alone a person.

   "Brother Lu, don't be polite, come on, have a drink first."

   "Just drink."

  Lu Bei waved his hand: "It's too much to drink, and it's only two or three cups. Let's get down to business!"

   Those who sing, hurry up and call someone!

   "Okay, get straight to the point and speak quickly."

  Zhu Kui applauded the table, opened the food box in the center of the wine table, and slowly pushed it in front of Lu Bei.

  Inside the food box is a stack of banknotes. Although there is no fragrance at all, the color is excellent, and the denomination and quantity are very attractive.

   "Brother Lu, this dish is called 'Wealth and Self-knowledge', please taste it!" Zhu Kui said solemnly.

   "???"

   Lu Bei looked bewildered, and said that he had learned, it turns out that this is how the world with aura eats food.

  Having said so earlier, what kind of elixir does he still make? It doesn’t taste good to go out to eat every day!

   "Brother Lu, how is the tasting? Could it be that there are too few dishes?"

   "A lot, it's strange."

Lu Bei was full of doubts, and was about to ask a question. After thinking about it, he packed the delicacies into his arms first, and then asked: "Master Kui, you don't get rewarded for nothing, and suddenly gave me a fortune. To tell the truth, I dare not accept it." .”

   Then you should take it out!

  Zhu Kui felt contemptuous and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, just now I praised you for being quick to speak, why suddenly... oh, I understand, the misunderstanding has been cleared up, isn't it?"

Misunderstand?

  What misunderstanding, can you clarify?

  Did you know that you are very smart!

Lu Bei thought for a while, and in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he decided to clarify: "What exactly is the misunderstanding that Young Master Kui said, please tell me the details. The most principled, I'm afraid I can't help much."

"Hahaha, my brother's words are really humorous. I understand what you mean. The past is like smoke, and it disperses when the wind blows. Nothing happened." Zhu Kui nodded repeatedly, secretly thinking that Zhu Ting was too worried, and the spy was greedy. A little bit, but it's still a good way to be a man.

  No, before the hush money is warmed up, people lose their memory.

  Professional enough!

   What happened in the past, what do you know?

Something was wrong, Lu Bei found that the bank note in his arms was a little hot, he threw it into the Qiankun bag decisively, his face turned pale: "Master Kui, let's stop playing charades, what kind of misunderstanding happened, if you don't make it clear, I will But let's go."

   "Brother, you are boring, some things will hurt people's face!"

   At the same time, the private room next door.

  Zhu Ting shook his hand holding the teacup slightly, showing a little embarrassment: "General Wei, is what you said true?"

  Wei Mao was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "Lord prefect, you know what Wei Mao is like. I didn't mean to raise the price on the ground. Lu Bei is indeed not a spy. He is my wife's younger brother. He just came here to stay for a while."

"That…"

"Misunderstand."

   "..." x2

  Zhu Ting deeply felt shamed because of the self-exposure, that is, Zhu Kui was not by his side, otherwise he could be strangled to death on the spot.

   Wei Mao acted as if nothing had happened, raised his teacup to toast a few times, and after a while, the two of them got over the embarrassment and chatted and laughed about political affairs.

  These two have been officials for many years, they are self-cultivated and shameless, and they can laugh over embarrassing situations. Lu Bei and Zhu Kui are different here.

   "MD, you lied to me!"

   "MD, you sell fake medicine!"

  Zhu Kui was dumbfounded, and so was Lu Bei, looking at each other more and more unkindly. It's no wonder that he hasn't refined the high-quality Spiritual Qi Pill for a month, because there is a problem with the raw materials in his relationship.

  Before, he thought that the 'Emperor's Essence of Yangji' was too watery, the upper limit was the finished product, and the high-quality goods were expected to be indecent.

   "So it was a good thing you did!"

   Lu Bei squinted his eyes slightly. The quality of Qi Ling Pill affects the amount of experience he can gain. If there is no high-quality product, he will lose at least tens of thousands of experience, which is directly rounded up to 100 million.

   Losing 100 million experience, how can he bear it!

  Lu Bei couldn't bear it, and Zhu Kui couldn't bear it even more, and slapped the table: "Stinky boy, be sensible, hand over the money honestly, or don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone."

   "Money? What money?"

   "Don't play dumb, I just gave you the money!"

   "Bah!"

Lu Bei spat out, and said angrily: "When you gave me the money just now, I said that you will not be rewarded for no merit, and you insisted on giving it. I endured it at the time, but now you want to take the money back. It's really deceitful." .”

"you you…"

  Zhu Kui stretched out his hand tremblingly: "I have never seen such a brazen person like you."

   "What, you fake drug dealer never looks in the mirror!"

  Lu Bei's eyes widened: "That's right, look at your five sense organs, each has its own strengths, and no one will obey the other. Not looking in the mirror really helps you live longer."

  Boom!

  Zhu Kui was furious, slapped the table and jumped up to Lu Bei.

"you sure?"

  Lu Bei remained motionless, curled his lips and said, "I'm not trying to scare you, the prefect and my eldest cousin are having a good conversation next door, you can try to move me."

  Zhu Kui wanted to vomit blood when he heard it, and withdrew his hand that was about to pinch Lu Bei's neck, and said through gritted teeth, "The prefect...is my uncle, your cousin is just a county magistrate, nothing more."

   "It is because the prefect is your uncle, and my cousin is a mere man, that you are in great trouble."

  Lu Bei said disdainfully: "You don't even think about it. The dignified **** exposed his family's scandal and lost face in front of the county magistrate. He was full of anger. Can you have something good to eat?"

   "Ah this..."

   Zhu Kui was sweating on his forehead and took a deep breath.

   "Tell me about you, I'll make a pill, and I haven't provoked or offended anyone, so why put a hat on me?"

   Lu Bei taunted: "It's all right now, see you next time, I can only attend your funeral."

   "It's not all your fault!"

  Zhu Kui gritted his teeth for a while, and couldn't think of any rebuttal, so he sarcastically said: "If you don't go out of the gate, you won't go to the Yunshui Tower. If you say you are normal, who will believe it!"

   "Come on, if you have the ability, please try again, see if I agree or not!"

   "..."
