When they came to Nanjing, they did not see Wei Guogong immediately. Instead, they were arranged to eat, drink and be entertained in an inn! What was different from the past was that they were told that someone had paid for their stay in the inn!
And as the people gathered, they found that the commanders who came were either people stationed at the traffic intersection or people from the coastal defense, so everyone was even more sure that the show was about to happen!
That afternoon, everyone was notified that Duke Wei's mansion had arranged a banquet for everyone in the Jiangnan Tower. This gave all the commanders a little surprise! The Jiangnan Restaurant is the number one restaurant in Nanjing. The dishes are complete, the taste is great, and the service is excellent!
It is said that the maids inside are all 28-year-old girls, and they are all extremely beautiful! Of course, Jiangnan Tower is more famous for its expensiveness! It’s so expensive that even as commanders, they don’t dare to try it easily!
Sun Xianjun is one of the commanders of coastal defense. He has made a fortune through his position over the years! He cooperated with the wealthy gentry, used his soldiers to escort their smuggling, drove away competitors, and received generous rewards.
So as soon as the news about the forbidden sea spread, he was the one who got angry the most! This was one of the reasons why he rushed to Nanjing first. He wanted to find out what the regulations were above. And what worries him is that people from the Duke's Mansion have never participated in these things in the past, but this time they are summoned here with a clear horse and carriage, which shows that they are choosing a side!
Now his only hope is that the Duke's Office and the wealthy gentry stand together, then things will be much easier to handle! But he also knew that if they really stood together, he would not appear in Nanjing!
This made him feel confused. Should he follow the Duke's mansion or the wealthy gentry? oops! This is really a problem!
When he thought of this, he found that he had arrived at the door of the restaurant, and to his disappointment, the person who greeted him was not a beautiful woman at all, but a male waiter with a smile on his face! So he couldn't help but cursed "bad luck" in his heart, and then he gave his name and was taken to the third floor by my buddy!
As soon as Sun Xianjun entered the door, before he could see the people on the seats, someone shouted: "Old Sun, come here!"
Sun Xianjun took a closer look and saw that he was also an old acquaintance. Like him, he was also the commander of the coastal defense, Li Shiping! The relationship between the two cannot be said to be good, but the relationship between the two is only due to the relatively close coastal defense distance between the two.
However, Sun Xianjun looked down on Li Shiping a little. The reason for this was that Li Shiping was too stingy! Being close to the seaside, you can make the people in your house starve to the point of becoming emaciated! Not only did this guy swallow up all the money given by the wealthy gentry, but he also took away a lot of the money that the soldiers and their families had earned for their own livelihood!
Even so, Sun Xianjun had no intention of breaking up with him. After all, the two of them are very close to each other and are helping each other. So he raised his hand to say hello to Li Shiping first, and then looked at the people around him. Only then did he realize that there were many acquaintances among the dozen or so people sitting in the private room! So as he walked forward, he kept saying hello to others, and finally sat next to Li Shiping.
At this time, Li Shiping leaned over and whispered: "Brother Sun, why did the Duke call us here this time? What do you think?"
Sun Xianjun smiled slightly and said, "You have already guessed it, so why bother asking me?"
Li Shiping helplessly twirled his whiskers and said, "I'm worried because I guessed it! I'm just not sure who the Duke has chosen!"
Opposite them sat a strong man. This man's skin was dark, and at first glance, they all knew this man because he had been blown by the sea breeze all year round. His name was Zhao Jingguo. At this time, Zhao Jingguo intervened and said: "No need to ask, you must not be on the side of the local big business! If you are on their side, you can just continue as usual, why call us over!" ap .
Sun Xianjun sighed and said deliberately: "That's not necessarily the case!"
Zhao Jingguo laughed and said, "Old Sun, don't you know what everyone is saying?"
Sun Xianjun pricked up his ears to listen to the whispers of others, and found that what they were talking about was all about this, and he couldn't help feeling relieved! It seems that everyone has the same idea.
at this time
Another person walked in. Although they were acquaintances, they had no friendship. They just nodded when they met every year. This man belonged to the inland guard station, so he sat at the table on the left after greeting everyone.
After saying hello, Li Shiping said listlessly: "Either the person you are looking at is from the coastal defense, or someone from a traffic hub, you know what the Duke is thinking! So I'm afraid I won't get any money this time!" "
At this point, he suddenly said mysteriously: "You know, brothers, there is a table of people across from us, but they are all from the navy!"
Sun Xianjun became interested when he heard this and said, "Are you sure you are from the navy?"
Li Shiping said with certainty: "It must be! They have all been seen before, how can we not recognize them!"
Sun Xianjun chuckled and said, "It seems that Wu Ningbo is quite profound, and he actually wants to advance both by land and water!"
Several people were talking slowly like this, waiting for people to come in one after another. Every time someone came in, everyone would get up and say hello to each other. In less than a moment, except for the two chairs at the front, all the other chairs were filled with people.
While everyone was discussing who would make these two chairs, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a young lady with a white face came in carrying a tray. It can be seen from her face and movements that she is a little scared! I saw her quickly placing the two plates of food on their respective tables and escaping as fast as flying!
Her actions triggered bursts of laughter from everyone present! Someone smiled strangely and said, "It turns out she is really a little lady!"
"I don't know if he is 28 years old or not, but he is quite smart!"
After hearing this, the little lady stepped faster and rushed out of the private room in a flash! As soon as she went out, another little girl with a paler face came in to serve everyone food, and the fear in her eyes almost overflowed!
No one here was stupid, and they immediately understood why these young ladies looked like this! You must know that the people who come to this building every day are either political dignitaries or literati. They are all extremely elegant, so these young ladies do not hesitate to send some smiles!
But now the people sitting at the table are all burly men, and some even look like a group of thugs from their faces, so these little ladies are naturally afraid!
