When Zhao Hao and his group arrived at the office, Li Yong and Kong Weiqing were drinking.
In this weather, I don’t know where they found the musicians and dancers.
On each side of the two men was a pretty woman, one in charge of filtering the wine and the other in charge of feeding them.
Because of his personality, Li Yong is relatively restrained and has a bit of the airs of a scholar.
Kong Weiqing had no scruples at all. At this moment, his face was flushed and he was hugging one of them, feeling very comfortable.
Just then, one of his men came in hurriedly and ran quickly to Li Yong's side.
"Master, the Lord is here!"
"Which lord?"
He actually forgot about Zhao Hao's existence.
But as soon as he said this, he immediately reacted.
Then he stood up suddenly and shouted to the dancers and musicians: "All of you, get out!"
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Seeing his expression, the music stopped, the dancing stopped, and everyone hurried out.
Kong Weiqing, who was not far away, frowned and looked over.
"Brother Li, what are you doing?"
Li Yong frowned and said, "What are you doing? Zhao Hao and Luo Bi are here. You are drunk. Go to the back. I will receive them alone..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Hao and Luo Bi came in, and a group of dancers and musicians were all blocked at the door.
These people didn't know Zhao Hao's specific identity, but when they saw his unfriendly expression, they all immediately retreated to both sides.
Li Yong glared at Kong Weiqing, and Kong Weiqing's drunkenness instantly dissipated.
The two men hurriedly left their seats, walked quickly in front of Zhao Hao, and saluted Zhao Hao.
"Greetings, sir!"
"Greetings, sir!"
Zhao Hao didn't say anything. He strode to the main seat where Li Yong had just sat, threw his cloak on, and sat down.
The two of them hurriedly followed.
Li Yong bowed and said, "I didn't know your Excellency was coming. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I hope your Excellency will forgive me."
Zhao Hao's eyes fell on the two of them and he couldn't help but snort and laugh.
"The two managers are living a very comfortable life!"
Upon hearing this, the two men bent their waists a little more.
Seeing that the two did not answer, Zhao Hao did not want to waste time and started questioning immediately.
"Master Li, Master Kong, many tenant farmers died in the village because of this heavy snow. Do you know about this?"
Their eyes suddenly flashed, and they knew what Zhao Hao was here for.
Li Yong quickly said, "Sir, we know about this, but this snowstorm is so severe, there is nothing we can do about it."
"We both feel deeply saddened by this!"
Zhao Hao immediately smiled and pointed at the dancers and musicians standing on both sides of the door.
"The two of you are living such a comfortable and happy life. I don't feel your pain at all!"
"Could it be that the two managers are using drinking and having fun to express their condolences for the dead tenant farmers?"
The expressions of both of them changed. Li Yong secretly glanced at Zhao Hao's expression and suddenly felt cold all over.
Because he saw a biting coldness in Zhao Hao's eyes.
Kong Weiqing, who was standing aside, was not fully sober because he had drunk quite a bit of wine.
So, hearing Zhao Hao's questioning, and considering that he had never taken Zhao Hao seriously in his heart, he acted very nonchalant.
Even started to refute.
"Sir, what you said is that there is really nothing we two can do to deal with such a severe snowstorm."
"As for today's banquet, it has a reason. A few days ago, a nephew of the Li family got married, and I missed it."
"I brought some gifts here today to make up for it, so Manager Li arranged these."
"Sir, you can't blame me for this!"
At this point, Kong Weiqing couldn't help but burp.
Then he continued, "Besides, sir, I have something to say that is not very nice."
"Those tenant farmers are just a bunch of untouchables."
"Even if some die, what does it matter?"
"We will definitely not affect the farming of the village next year!"
"Sir, I'm telling you the truth. You are still young and don't know how to manage the farm, nor do you know how to treat these lowly people."
"So, you don't have to worry about these things. Just leave them to us subordinates!"
Zhao Hao sneered again and his cold eyes fell on Kong Weiqing.
"Master Kong, do you mean that I am meddling in other people's business?"
Kong Weiqing seemed not to feel Zhao Hao's coldness at all and was about to speak back.
But Li Yong next to him had already noticed that Zhao Hao was in a bad mood.
He quickly took the lead and interrupted Kong Weiqing.
"Sir, that's definitely not what Boss Kong meant..."
Zhao Hao's eyes flashed.
"What does he mean?"
Li Yong looked unhappy.
Zhao Hao said coldly: "Every tenant farmer in the manor is my private property. Now that they are dead, it is my loss."
"You two are the masters, managing the manor for me, but you have caused me such losses."
"Now, they are questioning whether I am young and ignorant."
"Li Yong, Kong Weiqing, do you think that with Prince Yu standing behind you, I dare not do anything to you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yong's expression suddenly changed and he immediately knelt down.
"Sir, I would never dare to have such an idea!"
Kong Weiqing on the side did not kneel, but stretched his neck with a look of disdain.
"Sir, why do you have to make it so clear?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu is indeed standing behind us."
"Although this imperial manor has been granted to you, Lord Jue, by His Majesty, can you really ignore His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"
"Some things are hard to say, and some things are hard to do!"
"Although you have been granted the title of Viscount, can you still live a good life if His Royal Highness Prince Yu moves his finger a little?"
"So, my lord, don't be offended by the fact that you are young and ignorant."
"It's understandable that young people are impulsive."
"But don't let your impulse bring disaster upon yourself and your family!"
"You might as well think about it carefully. Do you have the strength to go against Prince Yu and a direct descendant of the royal family?"
"I advise you to be more thoughtful before speaking and doing anything!"
Under the influence of alcohol, he no longer concealed the disdain for Zhao Hao between his brows.
He looked at Li Yong, who was kneeling on the ground with an ugly expression on his face, and shook his head speechlessly.
"Brother Li, what are you doing?"
"Now that the words have been made clear, is there any need to pretend?"
Li Yong was about to curse Kong Weiqing's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
You brainless thing, you drank some horse urine and you don’t even know your last name. If you want to die, don’t take me with you!
As a viscount, Zhao Hao might not be able to do anything to Prince Yu, but can't he do something to a mere official like you?
