In a mansion.

Several officials sat in the hall, each frowned.

"Mr. Wei was arrested." The man sitting above said.

"Why should he arrest people? I'm waiting for the official documents, do you have any questions?"

"On the surface, there is no problem with the official documents, but there are inevitably some minor mistakes in the middle. I heard that it is also related to the handwriting."

"Hmph, just by this, there are a hundred reasons to get over it."

"Liu Changqing is now just relying on the identity of the Liangzhou inspector and Wang Jian is in hand. As soon as he comes, he arrested a court official, and he is not afraid of not being able to take over the scene!"

"At worst, we will report together and submit it to his book!"

Hearing this, the man above immediately raised his hand and said, "No! Since Liu Changqing suddenly arrived in Liangzhou and held the king's sword, it must be related to the grain and grain. Now that he has submitted a joint report, isn't it equivalent to exposing himself?"

"Otherwise, before he found out what he had found, he would do it first!" someone else said with a gloomy face.

"You are crazy! He has a king sword in his hand. Don't you know what the consequences will be if he kills him!"

"Then, what do you think you should do?"

"Well..." The man above pondered for a moment and said, "Although Lord Wei has been arrested, it should be fine for the time being. Liu Changqing's purpose is probably to lead out something, so we must not be distracted and keep calm."

"Yes... but what if something happens to Lord Wei..."

"Then we can't come forward, but we can ask someone to help test it."

The next day, at the gate of Ruan Mansion.

"Sir Pu walk slowly, come often when you have time..."

"Stay on your way, Lord Ruan stops on your way..."

Ruan Ming was sending an official out of the mansion with a smile on his face. His son Ruan Yang said, "Father, have you promised Lord Pu?"

"If you can, please help me. It's not bad to have a good relationship with these Liangzhou officials." Ruan Ming said happily.

But when he heard this, Ruan Yang was a little anxious: "Oh, my father, it's an extraordinary time now, and this busyness is not that easy to help!"

"Yang'er is so serious." Ruan Ming said indifferently: "Isn't it just to invite Liu Changqing to have a meal? It's just that I can take this opportunity to get along with him."

"But this." Ruan Yang still looked anxious and said, "Father, Liu Changqing is not kind to Liangzhou. In his opinion, our Ruan family should not get involved, so as to hide as far as possible."

After hearing this, Ruan Ming looked at him and said, "Yang'er, you are not an official, and you don't know how complicated the officialdom is. It is also an opportunity for the Ruan family to invite Liu Changqing. If we can establish a relationship with Liu Changqing, then our Ruan family will have more political resources in the future court. Do you understand?"

"This..." Ruan Yang didn't know what to say.

Ruan Ming’s idea was very simple, just to win over Liu Changqing.

It was precisely because of his mentality that the Liangzhou officials wanted to test Liu Changqing first.

The Ruan family did not involve this major case this time, because Ruan Ming's official position is empty but not empty, and important official documents cannot be passed by him.

That night, Ruan Ming, on behalf of officials in Liangzhou, invited Liu Changqing to the banquet.

After receiving this news, Liu Changqing was originally ready to refuse. He was a pedantic person, too stubborn, and unkind at all, which was also his annoying thing.

However, Qi Ying advised: "Sir, you have been to Liangzhou these days and refuse to attend the banquet. It's a bit unreasonable on the scene."

After hearing what he said, Liu Changqing thought about it for a while and said, "Well, just go."

This dinner is located in Ruan Mansion.

Ruan’s Mansion is large enough, and it is one of the best wealthy families in the area. During the meal, many officials were present. After some polite greetings on the scene, everyone sat down one after another and held a case in front of them.

At the beginning, the scene was quite lively. After all, they were all nobles. When the wine and food were served, Ruan Ming also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu has been to Liangzhou these days. We have not fulfilled our friendship as a landlord yet. Come on, I will apologize with this glass."

"Respect Lord Liu together" people followed the cup and said.

This is already very polite, but Liu Changqing sat there and sneered: "Mr. Ruan, as the imperial court official, he held a banquet and had a lot of guests. This table of wine and food is too luxurious, right? The prices of these things in front of me may be enough for ordinary people to live for several years."

Someone toasted you, but what he said clearly implyed Ruan Ming's corruption. When the latter heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and froze. He didn't know what to do, so he could only smile with embarrassment.

Seeing this, the other people put down the wine glass they had just picked up silently, not to mention how disappointed it was.

The scene fell into embarrassment for a while, and Ruan Ming laughed dryly and said to smooth things over: "Haha, Lord Liu likes to joke, come and drink..."

Everyone had a very uncomfortable meal at this banquet. After leaving the table, people walked out and said:

"Hmph! This person is really ignorant of being polite!"

"I've never seen such a person..."

In the mansion, Liu Changqing was naturally ready to leave, but Ruan Ming quickly got up and stopped him: "Sir Liu stay."

"Mr. Ruan has something to do?"

"Haha, can you take a step to speak?" Ruan Ming smiled.

Liu Changqing raised his eyebrows, but in the end, he followed him to the inner hall.

After arriving here, before he could ask questions, Ruan Ming had already stepped down and opened a box in the hall.

Liu Changqing looked at it with the flow. The box was full of gold nuggets, which made people dazzled!

Even when he saw such a huge amount of gold, he couldn't help but be shocked and said intimidatingly, saying such a big deal!

Then he asked in a voice: "What does Lord Ruan mean?"

"Haha, it's not interesting, it's not interesting." Ruan Ming still looked like a good man and smiled: "It's just a little bit of care, but it doesn't make respect. If you don't give up, you'll still accept it with a smile."

"Haha." Liu Changqing also smiled.

Ruan Ming didn't know him at all. Giving Liu Changqing a heavy gift is no different from feeling uncomfortable.

I thought that so much gold could make some connection, but no one in this world doesn’t love money.

But after Liu Changqing glanced at him, he sneered repeatedly: "What does Lord Ruan want to do with such a large amount of money? You don't have to give this gold to me or take it back. I will present it to the king at the meeting!"

"What!?" Ruan Ming was a little panicked when he heard this: "Big... what does this mean by sir?"
