Song Jing looked at these familiar yet strange faces blankly. What happened to Chang 'an in the few years he was away from Chang' an?
"I did get the membership card from the lottery. Many people also paid to get it. Some got the membership card on the second floor, and some only got one yuan."
Song Jing said as he recalled and found that there was no problem.
There were so many people at that time. There were all kinds of prizes and thanks.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, if he did not take out his money to draw the prize, would the Li family's farm force him to do so?
Everything was reasonable. He took the initiative to spend money to get the prize. Others also got the prize and kept giving out prizes.
"Guangping, do you think it's normal? There's no problem? "
Yao Chong was a steady person. Now when it came to Li Yi, he became lively.
"Yes, I went to find out the situation. The Li Family Zhuangzi said there will be a thousand boxes. If there are no more, I'll believe you."
Song Jing was angry. He didn't think he was bribed.
"I guarantee there will be. Guangping, don't worry. And in the end, everyone will get benefits. Those who get one yuan, two yuan, and thanks are all farmers. Do you believe it? Hahaha. "
Zhang Shuo continued to laugh and squat there while holding his stomach.
Lu Huaishen gave Song Jing an affirmative look and said, "Yes, there will be a thousand boxes to get the prize. You see, it will start tomorrow."
"I don't believe it. If that's the case, why would he pay such a big price for someone?" Song Jing still insisted.
"You're just doing it casually. When Li Yi gets serious, you … will know how powerful he is in a few days."
Wei Zhigu looked at the six membership cards on the table and shook his head.
"I'll treat you to lunch on the third floor of Earthly Paradise."
Song Jing felt wronged. He was so old, but he spoke like a child.
"Okay, we'll go with you and spend the money in your card." Lu Huaishen agreed on behalf of the other four people.
Everyone nodded to show their support.
The group set off and arrived at Earthly Paradise.
When they entered, many people were drinking tea and chatting on the first floor.
"Are these people resting?" Song Jing was not familiar with the situation. He had been very busy for the past three days.
"There are no seats. Let's go up," Bi Goo said as he walked in front.
The six of them went straight to the private room on the third floor.
Lu Wan appeared soon after and handed him the menu. "Welcome, Minister Song."
"You know me?" Song Jing looked at the woman.
"I just met you. I've seen the others before. I only heard that Minister Song had returned, but I didn't see you. Since you can come in with the others, you must be Minister Song."
Lu Wan's voice was soft and she kept her distance.
"How much money do I have in my card? I'm going to spend it all today. Just serve the dishes."
Song Jing started to argue. Didn't you guys say that I took bribes? I spent it all in one go and won't come back again.
"Minister Song, what a coincidence. You're the 588th table today. There's a reward package. You can pay the bill next time."
Very naturally, Lu Wan took back everyone's menus and turned to leave to arrange the set meals.
"How is it?" Yao Chong looked at Song Jing and asked.
"Is it really a bribe? The money in this card can't be spent? "Song Jing's IQ and EQ were both online.
"Heavenly World is His Majesty's business. He gave us the card to raise integrity. You, Song Jing, are famous all over the world. You're honest and you don't accept bribes.
Li Yi made arrangements when he knew you were there. You taking the card is a small matter. The big thing is the lawsuit fund.
Li Yi is going to make trouble. In a few days, you'll see, there will be officials who will be dealt with. "
Lu Huaishen told him about the card. Otherwise, Song Jing would still be thinking about whether he took bribes.
"The money is counted on His Majesty?" Song Jing was surprised.
"You can't say that. Li Yi took 10% of the share. On the surface, Heavenly World is Li Yi's business. In fact, he has to take out 10%, or several times, to help His Majesty raise soldiers."
Zhang Shuo lowered his voice. He knew that Li Longji could tolerate other things, but not Li Yi.
"Why did Li Yi do this?" Song Jing had not been in Chang 'an for a long time. He was not used to the changes.
"To eliminate the Xuanwu Gate." Yao Chong said in a deep voice.
Song Jing was stunned. Yao Chong said Xuanwu Gate. He knew what it meant. It was not a gate, but an incident.
"If Li Yi controls the army and rebels, how can we deal with it?" Song Jing was worried about the Tang dynasty.
"He won't rebel. He can rebel whenever he wants. He doesn't need to control the army.
If you betray the country and run away with people, the Winged Knights won't be able to catch you.
If His Majesty wants to deal with you, he will find Li Yi. Li Yi will personally catch you alive. "
Wei Zhigu provided Song Jing with another reference. Think about it yourself. How capable was Li Yi?
Song Jing was not convinced. "What if I don't eat or drink and commit suicide? I will die. If I don't come back alive, I can still hit my head against the wall. "
"Okay, Guangping. Go to the Li Family Zhuangzi for a check-up in two days. I envy you. You finally showed up." Yao Chong said gloomily.
If he had not used his other identity to get in touch with Li Yi, he could also use the name of Prime Minister to get a check-up.
If he was sick now, he would still have to use his original identity.
At this time, the dishes were served. They were given priority. Several stoves served them at the same time.
However, the 'Lobby Manager' who came was Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun came to take over the night shift. She had nothing to do, so she came early.
"I heard that Minister Song is doing something beneficial to the people in Guangzhou. He taught the local people to build brick houses to prevent fire. The local food is light and delicious. Heaven on Earth can be imitated. Please!"
Xiaoyun said to Song Jing with a smile. She was dignified and generous.
"Please!" Song Jing looked at Xiaoyun's expression and attitude. He had no choice but to cup his hands.
After Xiaoyun bowed and left, he asked the others, "Are they from Nanqu?"
"Guangping has good eyesight. Two 'great masters' who specialize in bringing people around. Their actions and words follow the rules." Lu Huaishen nodded.
"What's going on with Li Yi?"
Song Jing felt even more uncomfortable. Why did he encounter things so different from what he had imagined?
"He's a very interesting youth. It's okay to bully him occasionally in the name of righteousness, but don't go too far."
Zhang Shuo said with a smile as he looked at Bi Goo.
"What are you looking at me for? How am I going too far? I have more than 1.8 million yuan of money. Didn't I listen to his arrangements? Did I impeach him? "
Bi Goo was angry. If Zhang Shuo spread the news, how could he find Xiao Yi to fix his broken teeth in the future?
"You always keep an eye on his money and collect taxes. You also take benefits from him." Wei Zhigu targeted Bi Goo.
"I won't keep an eye on it. Don't ask the Ministry of Revenue for money. If you want to do anything, find Xiao Yi yourself." Bi Goo retorted.
Song Jing listened and looked, and became more confused. What was the relationship between them?
"Eat and drink." Zhang Shuo was the most cheerful. He eased up. Although he was the prime minister, he was not worth much.
Prime Ministers were worthless nowadays. There could be three of them, and there was an even more powerful Foreign Minister outside of Chang 'an.
Everyone began to drink. Song Jing tasted the shrimp braised cabbage and found that it was indeed light and fragrant.
"Even Guangzhou can't make this taste now. How can Earthly Paradise make dishes from there?"
Song Jing had been the governor of Guangzhou for several years and was used to the local taste.
He had not adjusted after three days back. He did not expect Earthly Paradise to serve dishes from there.
