Chapter Sixty: Upright and Unbiased Tian Yuanhao

  Zhao Xing, having eaten and drunk his fill, left behind Guo Jia and Li Jin Si, taking Mei Mei Hu Xiang Er and Xu Wan Lin to inspect his own wine tower. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu, who usually made the most noise, did not follow along this time.

  "Wanlin, this morning, thanks for maintaining my brother-in-law's tall and glorious image! Zhao Yu that little girl is getting more and more out of line!" Zhao Xing teased Wanlin in the car.

  "Hmph, you're certainly not interested in that little girl anymore! You're always with Sister Hu from dawn till dusk! Doing those things in the room during broad daylight, don't think I don't know!" Xu Wenyin didn't buy it at all, and said angrily, but instead made Hu Xiang'er blush bright red!

  "It's all because of this dead man, who must say something on a sunny day with good lighting, just right for... what's called 'doing things in broad daylight'! Now he's being ridiculed by Li Jia's sister and has returned to Shangdang, and it's not certain how much more he'll be laughed at by the elder lady Xu Wanting!" Hu Xiang'er shot a sideways glance at Zhao Xing with her eyes, her heart knotting up tightly.

  All the way, he chatted with two women, and didn't feel that time was hard to pass. As they spoke, Zhao Xing's carriage turned into Bu Guangli and arrived at "Dui Yang Jie De - Zui Xian Lou".

  Seeing the wine house was full of guests, and business was not affected by Zhao Xing's high price, Xu Wanlin suddenly started counting again. On the third floor, Zhao Xing found a elegant room, and asked the waiter to bring a pot of tea and some dim sum. The waiter now also recognized the big boss behind the Drunken Immortal Building, so he ran very quickly, and soon the tea and dim sum were all ready.

  Zhao Xing was cracking melon seeds with his two daughters and sipping fragrant tea, feeling quite comfortable. At this time, a man's angry shout came from the next room: "Zhilang, don't make excuses for those eunuchs! If it weren't for the eunuchs dominating the court and disrupting the imperial order, how would the great Han dynasty have become so corrupt?"

  "Yu Hao, brother, you're talking nonsense, remember that trouble comes from the mouth! Although you are a Shangshu, with the responsibility of investigating all officials, eunuchs are not among the officials. If this gets out, be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself!" A man advised him to stop.

  "Come! Come! Let's not talk about national affairs, let's not talk about national affairs! Tian brother, Zhao brother, it's rare to have a leisurely day today, and there's also top-notch fine wine in the jug. We'll drink until we're drunk!" Another man came out to mediate.

  "Wanlin, I have something to ask of you!" Zhao Xing said curiously, vaguely feeling that there was someone in the group next door who interested him. Wanlin heard that Zhao Xing had a request and naturally agreed happily, quietly slipping out of the room.

  Before long, Xu Wanlin returned to the room with a smile and whispered to Zhao Xing: "Brother-in-law, I've succeeded in my mission. The people next door are Summer Mu, the imperial censor, who is hosting a banquet for Imperial Censor Tian Feng and his colleagues Zhao Rong and Bao Hong!"

  So that's it, Zhao Xing suddenly realized. No wonder he felt familiar when he heard someone shouting "Yuanhao" earlier, Tian Feng was indeed Tian Yuanhao, and now he is still an official in Luoyang and has not yet resigned to return to Hebei.

  Zhao Xing remembered that Tian Feng would not have a falling out with the eunuchs for several years, and in a fit of anger, he resigned and returned to his hometown. Later, although Tian Feng followed Yuan Shao and became a deputy captain, he was not reused by Yuan Shao, and finally was killed by "Bingzi Shao" in a fit of rage! Since he was caught up with this number one human trafficker of the Eastern Han today, let's take the opportunity to make Lao Tian lose his official position! Hehe!

  "Xing'er, Wanlin, you two quickly go home and find Jing Si... " Zhao Xing said with a sly smile to Hu Xinger and Xu Wanlin.

  After listening to Zhao Xing's arrangement, Xu Wanlin shook her little head like a rattle drum. "Brother Xing is too bad! He even thought of such a bad idea!" Before Xu Wanlin could express her dissatisfaction, Hu Xiang'er pulled her down from the wine building and rushed home.

  An hour later, Li Jin and Guo Jia brought a small eunuch to the third floor, rushing straight to the elegant room where Zhao Xing had just sat, but Zhao Xing had already moved his position and hid on the second floor.

  "Three Shun brothers, today my younger brother is treating you to a meal, don't be polite!" Li Jin thoughtfully ordered a good wine and dishes, pulling the small eunuch San Shun who had come to find Zhao Xing a few days ago, constantly persuading him to drink and eat. Guo Jia was on the side, not understanding what was going on, but with a full table of good wine and food, he didn't hold back either, just focusing on eating with his head down.

  Three people had just taken a few bites when they heard someone in the next room scolding eunuchs, calling them castrated dogs, saying they were not human and were causing chaos in the imperial court, that they deserved to die a hundred times over. In short, they were using every vile insult imaginable! San Shun's face turned red with anger at what she was hearing, but she didn't dare go over to see what was going on. Just then, Zhao Xing's voice rang out!

  Zhao Xing burst in, shouting and exclaiming, "Ah, isn't this Imperial Censor Tian Fengtian and Remonstrance Counselor Xia? What wind has blown you to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion today? Gentlemen, take your time, I, Zhao Xing, will pay for the wine tonight. Everyone, eat and drink well!"

  "Get out! You rural wine peddler who relies on eunuchs to buy official positions, what qualifications do you have to invite us to drink?! I, Tian Yuanhao, don't welcome you, please leave quickly!" As soon as he heard that the person who came in was actually Zhao Xing, who had just donated money a few days ago to become the Pingbei General, Tian Feng's belly full of fire finally found an outlet and he started scolding Zhao Xing fiercely.

  "Scolded well! If you didn't scold fiercely, the little eunuch San Shun next door would not have given Zhang Ran a good scolding after he went back!" Zhao Xing was not annoyed in his heart, but said with his mouth: "If Lord Tian doesn't give face, then Zhao will not disturb everyone's elegant gathering. However, I would like to advise Lord Tian that the Ten Attendants are people by the emperor's side, serving His Majesty every day, no merit but hard work, you scold them indiscriminately, be careful of trouble from your mouth!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhao Xingyang walked away with a long stride, completely disregarding Tian Feng who was so angry that he wished heaven would send down thunder to strike him dead. Tian Feng's face was full of anger and he couldn't say a word.

  After being stirred up by Zhao Xing, the crowd lost interest and hastily dispersed from the wine tower. Not long after, San Shun Gonggong, who had also lost interest, hurriedly left the wine tower and rushed to Zhang Rang's mansion.

  After San Shun met Zhang Rang, he told on him with added flavor, making Zhang Rang so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and another was born. "Good! Good! Good! Such a reckless fellow dares to humiliate me in public at the wine tower, does he really think I, Zhang Rang, am someone who can be deceived?" After finishing speaking, Zhang Rang turned his sleeve and went to the North Palace to find Emperor Ling.

  Nor did the great eunuch Zhang Rang know what kind of soul-stirring soup he had drunk after meeting Liu Hong, but in Liu Hong's eyes, the one who loved him the most was the "Ah Fu" in front of him. The next day, Liu Hong publicly scolded Tian Feng for being unscrupulous, making a scene in the wine tower, and slandering the courtiers, which was an insult to the imperial dignity, and stripped Tian Feng of his position as Shiyushi.

  Tian Feng's official position was lost, but he also hated Zhao Xing. I really don't know how Zhao Xing let him surrender to himself again?
