In the empty tavern, there was a bottle of wine, a stack of peanuts, two wine glasses, and a man who was crying bitterly.
The middle-aged man's collapse might happen in an instant.
Meg raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't have much empathy. Perhaps as Mr. Zhou Shuren said, the joys and sorrows of human beings were not connected.
While crying, Bobby poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking the second glass of wine, his mood eased a lot because he was already a little drunk.
Therefore, he began to talk to the empty seat opposite him.
"Sen … senior, although we are officials in the eyes of others, we are just ordinary people. You are still a Level 6 knight. I am not even a knight. I don't do anything bad on weekdays. I just listen to the arrangements of the higher-ups. When something happens, why is it all our fault?"
"Tell me, this time, you just followed orders and stamped the seal and sent out the secret order, but in the end, you were caught as well. Military orders are like mountains. If you didn't send out the secret order, you would have been arrested a few days ago … "
"Ai … this is a mess, a mess …"
Bobby drank two more glasses, and he gradually lost his ability to speak. He began to talk nonsense in a daze.
Meg almost understood. This guest was indeed an official of the Ministry of War, and a close senior was involved in this case. He was one of the officials whose family was killed the night before.
"Don't just drink, eat some peanuts." Meg came to Bobby and sat down. He pushed the stack of drunkard's peanuts that had not been touched in front of Bobby.
Bobby looked at him sideways, and his eyes were a little blurred. He was stunned for a while, then he reached out and put a peanut into his mouth.
"Kacha, kacha."
He chewed the peanuts, and the crispy aroma made him sober up a little. He was also in the mood to talk. He pulled Mag along and began to talk about the love and hatred between him and that senior. Oh, it was brotherly love.
Meg grabbed a handful of peanuts and became a qualified onlooker.
Irina, who was drinking alone, also came over with a bottle of wine curiously. She sipped the wine and listened with relish. When she heard something wonderful, she would cheer.
"But does your wife know that you guys are gay?" Irina asked curiously.
"Key? Our relationship is pure brotherhood … Do you understand brotherhood? "Bobby tilted his head and looked at Irina. He increased his volume and emphasized.
"I know. It's just that brothers are more important than wives. Every day after work, I'll go drink with my brothers." Irina rolled her eyes and looked at Meg from the corner of her eyes. She said murderously, "If you dare to do this, I don't mind losing my wife."
"I don't have any brothers," Meg quickly clarified as he looked at Irina, who was half drunk and half murderous.
"Ai, things are unpredictable. I thought we could drink until we were old. I didn't expect him to leave before me …" Bobby sighed deeply.
"Come, drink some more." Meg helped him fill up his glass.
Bobby drank it in one gulp and fell into the memories again.
"You're saying that the senior was wronged? This matter has nothing to do with him? "Meg saw that he was almost done drinking, so he started to guide him.
"Yes … Yes, who is he? How … how can he mobilize the border army? Moreover, he launched a war against the orcs and elves at the same time. I'm afraid no one would believe this kind of thing, right?" Bobby nodded and said vaguely.
"Who gave this order? If it was His Majesty, how could he be arrested? "Meg continued to ask.
"You … Why are you asking this?" Bobby looked at Meg from the corner of his eyes. He was still a little vigilant.
"Come, come, come. Drink another glass. It's not drunk enough." Meg poured him another glass.
"Gulp." Bobby drank the wine in one gulp and started to talk again.
"I heard from the senior that this order was not directly given by His Majesty. It was given by His Royal Highness the Second Prince in the name of His Majesty. I don't know how he hid it from everyone. Later, when His Majesty returned to Rodu, he sent troops to surround the Ministry of War and arrested the senior and several ministers of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War was investigated from top to bottom …
Sigh … What's going on?
Moreover, the night before yesterday, a murderer came out of nowhere and killed several ministers of the Ministry of War. He burned them all. Even the complete corpse could not be seen.
Now everyone in the Ministry of War is in a panic. No one knows if they will be the next target. The higher-ups have no explanation for this matter. It's too uncomfortable … "
Bobby was completely drunk before he finished half of his Maotai. Luckily, Mag had asked him for the address in advance, and settled the bill with his own hands. He helped him out of the door, hailed a horse-drawn carriage, and instructed the coachman to send him home.
"Now … Andre is most likely … having a headache." Irina staggered to the door, and then fell into Meg's arms unconsciously.
"I said this wine is strong. You don't believe me, right?" Meg looked at Irina, who fell asleep in his arms. He smiled helplessly, carried her up, and sent her upstairs directly.
Usually, the fruit wine was not even as strong as beer. Therefore, Bobby and Irina got drunk without drinking much when they encountered Maotai, which had a high alcohol content.
After sending Irina upstairs, Meg was about to go downstairs. Amy and Anne poked their heads out from the toy room next door.
"Father, did Mother go to bed so early today?" Amy asked curiously.
"She drank some wine and is a little drunk, so she went to bed first tonight," Meg said with a smile.
"If that's the case, okay." Amy nodded, but she rolled her eyes and said, "Are you just going to drink and not eat?"
Meg saw through Amy's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile, "There are still some dishes downstairs. If you two are hungry, you can go eat some more."
"Okay." Amy nodded happily immediately, took Anne's hand and went downstairs.
Because she got drunk very quickly, there were still a lot of Drunkard's Peanuts left on Irina's plate. The two plates of cold pig ears and cold pig tongue were almost untouched.
Meg poured a glass of warm milk for the two little ones. The dishes and milk were actually quite compatible.
"These peanuts are peeled." Amy picked up her chopsticks, picked up a peanut, and threw it into her mouth. Her cheeks moved quickly, making a chewing sound, like a little squirrel chewing on a pine cone.
"It smells so good. It's fragrant and crispy. It's delicious." Amy picked up another peanut and put it into her mouth happily. She didn't forget to remind Anne to eat too.
Anne also picked up a peanut and put it into her mouth. She chewed softly with a smile on her face. It seemed like she also liked the taste of Drunkard's Peanuts.
"Meow, meow ~" Ugly Duckling walked around the table and meowed anxiously with its head raised.
"I want to try this cold pig ears." Amy picked up a piece of pig ear.
The thin pig ear had a little white crispy tendon in the middle. It was dipped in chili oil and had a few sesame seeds stuck in it. She put it into her mouth.
"Chewing ~"
"Wow! This taste! It's super good! "
Amy's eyes lit up completely as she chewed happily.
