The Kingdom of Marriage: My Stunning Empress

Chapter 339: Drunken Eyes

Kunwu City, Li Mansion.

Li Yuhao and Cui Zezhao were sitting in the study.

Tea was brewing next to it, and bubbles kept coming out of the boiling water, making a gurgling sound.

Li Yuhao held a thin piece of paper in his hand and said to Cui Zezhao, "Something happened in Yanggu County."

Cui Zezhao frowned slightly and said, "What's going on over there?"

Li Yuhao said: "The Guo family has been infiltrating Yanggu County for many years and supporting a wealthy businessman named Ximen He."

"This Ximen He used to have a very close relationship with our Li family. The Dragon and Tiger Pill he sold has always been a must-have for men to show off their virility in bed."

"Once you eat it, you'll feel stronger and stronger! And it won't leave you with any underlying illness, so it's a very popular product."

After Li Yuhao said this, Cui Zezhao suddenly realized, and he said, "Dragon Tiger Pill is from Yanggu County? I see."

"This thing is rare even in our Daqian country."

"A Dragon Tiger Pill costs about fifty taels of silver!"

Li Yuhao smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed a rare item!"

"But just now, a carrier pigeon arrived from Yanggu County saying that Ximen He had died."

"He was killed by a group of bandits from Qingfeng Village!"

"At the same time, this group of vicious bandits broke into Yanggu County, robbed Ximen He of his gold and silver, and even broke the Yanggu County Magistrate's neck in front of everyone!"

Cui Zezhao was also surprised after hearing this: "What's going on with these bandits in Black Wind Village?"

"Why are you so fierce and unscrupulous?!"

When the bandits from Black Wind Village were mentioned, Li Yuhao's face showed a trace of contempt. He said, "They are just a bunch of stupid thieves who only know how to fight and kill."

"Although these people have committed heinous crimes, now is not the time to pursue them."

"Yanggu County is currently leaderless. This is the perfect time to send someone over to take over."

"Just now I was thinking, although Brother Cui is from the Qinghe Cui family and has great literary talent, he has no achievements."

"Why not take this opportunity to become the magistrate of Yanggu County and start from there?"

After hearing what Li Yuhao said, guests who usually live under someone else's roof must give the host some face and respond with a few words.

But Cui Zezhao directly refused: "Brother Li, are you looking down on me by asking me to go to that tiny Yanggu County and serve as a lowly official?"

Cui Zezhao's words made Li Yuhao's face change, but he quickly recovered. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, Brother Cui, please don't misunderstand!"

"The reason I said this is that I just wanted to take a shortcut for Brother Cui. Brother Cui has come to visit me several times, but Miss Lin has always refused to see him."

"If this continues, I'm afraid it will have some impact on Brother Cui's reputation."

Cui Zezhao snorted coldly and said, "Brother Li, you're worrying too much. It's just a small setback. And as the saying goes, the greater the difficulty, the greater the sense of accomplishment after obtaining it, isn't it?"

"Cui has already sent out invitations. A grand competition will be held in the city in two days. All the talented men and beautiful women in the capital will come to participate. Miss Lin is also invited."

"As long as Cui takes first place in the poetry competition and outshines the others, he will naturally win Miss Lin's praise and favor!"

Li Yuhao laughed heartily after hearing this and said, "In that case, I wish Brother Cui every success!"

"However, there is a temporary vacancy for the Yanggu County Magistrate position. Brother Cui, if you have any plans for this position in the next few days, please discuss it with me."

"I will do my utmost to help Brother Cui enter Yanggu County, become the local official, and take sole power!"

Although Li Yu repeatedly hinted to Cui Zezhao that he should go to Yanggu County and the benefits of being the county magistrate there.

However, for a young man like Cui Zezhao who grew up in a honeypot, fame, wealth and power can be obtained just by opening his mouth.

Moreover, if he wanted to be an official, he only needed to find someone to make some connections, and he could choose any fifth-rank official in the Daqian Kingdom!

Why would I need to go to some remote and poor Yanggu County and serve as a lowly seventh-rank county magistrate?!

Cui Zezhao now has only the poetry meeting in his mind. He fantasizes that he can make a big splash and win the heart of the beauty!

……

"Erlang, Erlang."

"Come on, drink!"

At Han Dalang's home in Yanggu County, Han Dalang, who was able to get out of bed, faced Han Zhuo at the wine table, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

At this time, Wei Hongshao and Hai Yulan came over with delicious food.

Seeing Han Dalang drinking, Wei Hongshao immediately came over to stop him. She said, "Dalang, the doctor has already said that you can't drink now, otherwise your body will not get better."

Han Dalang smiled and said, "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. The main thing is that Erlang handled the matter so well this time."

"This is a blessing for our Han family! Come on, good brother, let me toast you another glass!"

Han Zhuo did not reveal his true identity to Han Dalang and continued to deceive him.

At present, all the wealthy officials and landlords in Yanggu County are in danger.

Everyone was afraid that the bandit gangs that had already left would come back and put knives to their necks.

But for the poor, it is a completely different scene.

Han Zhuo clinked his glasses with Han Dalang's and drank the whole glass in one gulp.

Han Dalang usually drinks this kind of wine, and he poured Han Zhuo another full bowl.

He said with a smile: "Erlang, this wine was brewed by me, your brother!"

"There are more than a dozen medicinal herbs here, all of which are very tonic!"

"Come on, drink one more bowl. If it weren't for me, your brother, I would have drunk three more bowls with you!"

Seeing Han Dalang so happy, Han Zhuo didn't want to touch his face.

Besides, this wine is really delicious, with a hint of sweetness and the fruity aroma of fruit wine.

Han Zhuo picked up the wine glass and said to Han Dalang with a smile: "Since it is the wine brewed by you, brother, of course I will accept it with pleasure!"

As he spoke, Han Zhuo drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp!

Soon, Han Zhuo finished the whole jar of wine by himself.

This kind of fruit wine actually tastes sweet when you first drink it, and you will want to drink more and more.

However, Han Zhuo did not expect its aftereffect.

Han Zhuo's internal strength is now very strong, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to get him drunk.

Han Zhuo can use his internal energy to evaporate the alcohol in his blood at any time.

But he greatly underestimated the aftereffect of this fruit wine, so much so that when Han Zhuo stepped over the threshold of Han Dalang's house and came to the street, he suddenly felt dizzy!

Then his body fell backwards unconsciously.

"Hey, Jiro!"

Fortunately, Wei Hongshao was following behind Han Zhuo. Seeing Han Zhuo fall backwards, Wei Hongshao immediately stepped forward.

She originally wanted to support Han Zhuo with her hands, but she had no idea that Han Zhuo was so muscular and heavy!

When Han Zhuo's body became weak due to alcohol and he leaned back, Wei Hongshao's weak body was unable to support Han Zhuo at all.

The two people fell to the ground with a bang.

For a moment, Han Zhuo felt as if he had fallen into a land of gentleness.

He struggled to put his hands on the ground and tried to stand up.

Unexpectedly, I felt so soft as soon as I got it!

At the same time, Wei Hongshao's unique cry came to his ears.
