    But he said that Zheng Yuanshao's long follower left the study and came to the door outside.

    When the weather turns cold, wealthy families will build a temporary square hut outside the door to keep out the wind and cold. This is called a door bucket.

    Lin Run¡¯s long entourage is also waiting in the door, ready for orders at any time.  He glanced at this powerful long-suffering man and asked casually:

    "My friend is a bit unfamiliar. Where is Zheng Gui, why didn't you come?"

    "Reply to third brother, little Zheng Dian." Zheng Yuanshao's new eldest son, Xiao Sheng, responded quickly and respectfully: "Zheng Gui is the little uncle. He had a stomachache, so he asked the little one to come and observe him."

    "That's it." Lin Run's elder brother called Lin San by his first name. When he saw the other party calling out his name, he didn't doubt it.  So I asked him how old he was, what he had done before, etc In their profession, it was easy to get bored, and they all had the habit of chattering.

    While Zheng Dian replied, he took out two things from his arms, one was a bulging water bag and the other was a bulging oil paper bag.

    ¡°It¡¯s only the two adults who are starting to drink, why don¡¯t we also take a few sips to ward off the cold?¡±

    "I'm on duty, but I don't understand the rules." Lin San took the water bag, unscrewed the cork and smelled it, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Damn it, Luzhou Daqu."

    "Fellow brother, I don't know anything. Please give me more advice in the future." Zheng Qi opened the oil paper bag again, and inside was a fat roasted chicken.

    "Just drink two sips to get rid of the cold." Lin San was aroused by the alcohol bug, and immediately smiled, and sat on the horse with Zheng Dian.  Just with the fat chicken, you took a sip and I drank a little wine.

    ??~~

    In the study room.

    Lin Run had already drank so much that his face was red and his starry eyes were blurred.

    He put his hand on his chin and asked Zheng Yuanshao with his tongue hanging out: "Shanfu, you said we were in Xujiabang this morning, who leaked the news?"

    "It's hard to tell" Zheng Yuanshao's heart trembled. He lowered his head and pressed the lid of the pot to pour wine for Lin Run: "There are so many pairs of eyes staring at us. It's too difficult to keep it a secret."

    "No, no." Lin Run shook his head and said: "They clearly know that our court will go to clear the land today. Otherwise, so many villagers would not have gathered in the blink of an eye and be so organized."

    "Zhongcheng said that, it's true" Zheng Yuanshao forced a smile and said, "I'll have to check it out carefully later."

    "We must investigate." Lin Run sighed and said, "Hey, this court also knows that the Xu family is not easy to deal with. Many officials are backing down. It is not uncommon for some people to be in two boats."

    "Yes" Zheng Yuanshao lowered his head.

    "This court also knows that many people blame me behind my back for provoking the Xu family for nothing, calling me ungrateful and seeking fame." Lin Run laughed at himself and said: "Actually, I really don't want to target the Xu family. This will ruin my career.  The reputation of being a scholar brought an end to my career."

    "Then why does Zhongcheng still need to" Zheng Yuanshao mustered up the courage to raise his head and asked.

    "The reason is very simple. The court is too poor, the people are too miserable, and the Ming Dynasty will not be a country." Lin Run raised his sword eyebrows and said passionately: "Where did the land wealth of the Ming Dynasty go? It was all concentrated in the hands of powerful families.  These people did not hear the hungry cries of the people or the desperate cries of the border soldiers"

    Lin Run seemed to be very drunk. He was no longer as calm as usual, and became extremely excited and said:

    "Can't they hear it? No, their conscience has been swallowed up by their inflated selfish desires! They only know how to use the power in their hands to arbitrarily embezzle the country's property, squeeze the bone marrow of the people, and eat so much that they become numb and insensitive at all.  I don¡¯t care whether this Ming Dynasty lives or lives!¡±

    "What Zhongcheng said is true." Zheng Yuanshao nodded with deep understanding and said: "The great problem of the country lies in the annexation of wealthy families."

    "That's right! How should we solve it?" Lin Run looked at him drunkenly.

    "Restraining annexation will result in more losses and more deficiencies." Zheng Yuanshao said in a low voice: "Putting it in the south of the Yangtze River means equalizing land and food, and the government and the people."

    "That's well said. To attack the Xu family is to scare the monkeys. Only when the Xu family obediently accepts the equalization of grains will the rich families in Jiangnan obediently give in and give the court and the people a chance to breathe."

    "This hospital gave them enough opportunities, but it's a pity that they refused to drink the toast and were punished with wine." Lin Run said with a sigh: "A life-and-death battle between this hospital and the Xu family is inevitable. I hope those who have gone astray will  Officials must be able to rein in the situation, otherwise they will really be enemies of this court."

    Zheng Yuanshao picked up a pig ear and was about to put it in his mouth when his hands trembled and he dropped the chopsticks together.

    "Zhong, Zhong Cheng, I" Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and when he raised his head to explain, he saw Lin Run falling on the Arhat bed and snoring.

    It seems that the medicine is working.

    "Zhongcheng, Zhongcheng."

      Zheng Yuanshao calmed down and bravely stood up to look at Lin Run, only to see that he was indeed very drunk.

    Zheng Kuan walked to Luohan's bedside, called Zhongcheng, and gently pushed Lin Run a few times.

    Seeing that Lin Run still had no reaction, he finally felt relieved and secretly said that the medicine was quite effective.

    Zheng Yuanshao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the desk, opened the drawer and started rummaging around.

    Who would have thought that I couldn¡¯t find the account book even after searching for it.

    ¡°That¡¯s weird.¡± Zheng Yuanshao scratched his head, clearly seeing Zhong Cheng opening the drawer and putting it in.

    "What are you looking for?" A low and soft voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

    The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder that made Zheng Yuanshao's soul fly away.

    Trembling all over, he slowly turned his head and saw Lin Zhongcheng, who should have been drunk, sitting on the Arhat's bed with a smile on his face.

    "Zhongcheng, you, are you still awake?" Zheng Yuanshao stammered a nonsensical question as his soul trembled.

    Lin Run took out the cotton handkerchief from his sleeve, squeezed it with his hand, and squeezed out a lot of water.

    It turns out that all the wine he drank before was secretly vomited into the handkerchief.

    "This, it turns out that Zhongcheng has discovered it a long time ago" Zheng Yuanshao lowered his head, like a deflated ball.

    "If this hospital had discovered it earlier, would we have let you know the secret?" Lin Run blushed and stood up slowly, holding the head of the bed and said:

    "It was you who was so distracted tonight that made me suspicious."

    "It's you who have a headache, not me. Why are you pouring cup after cup of this hospital? You look straight at me and drink it every time." He said with a sneer:

    "This hospital just wants to see why you want to get me drunk."

    ¡°So that¡¯s what I was looking for!¡± As he said that, he pulled out the drawer and took out the thin account book from the crack.

    "I" Zheng Yuanshao was sweating profusely. He finally couldn't hold it in anymore and knelt on the ground. He cried and said, "I'm sorry for Zhongcheng's cultivation. I have made mistakes again and again, and I will not be punished."

    "You are wrong. You have not sorry for me. What you are sorry for is the court that selected you and the people who supported you! You read the book of sages in vain!" Lin Run said and slapped Zheng Yuanshao hard on the face.

    Zheng Yuanshao did not dare to dodge and straightened his back to bear the blow.

    ps. I¡¯m still thinking about the next chapter. It¡¯s so painful. I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll post it or not.  Don¡¯t wait and watch it tomorrow morning (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
