Chief Su came out from his seat of honor, pulled over a chair and said to Ru Feng: ”Master, please take a seat. This official has no intention of making things difficult for you. These subordinates of mine have eyes but could not recognize Mount Tai, please forgive them, Master. ”
Ru Feng took back his two documents, and said: Thank you Chief for your forgiveness, my humble self has matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.
Chief Su saw that Ru Feng's expression was gloomy and knew that he was unsatisfied. He pulled Ru Feng and said: ”Master cannot leave. I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I invited Master for a meal before going. If it's Lu Yuan, I'll send someone to send you off. In the future, please say some good words in front of Captain Feng. ” After saying that, he gave a meaningful glance to the person beside him.
The deputy director and several policemen came forward to help him stay. They grabbed Ru Feng's arm and refused to let go. The Deputy Chief also said, ”I only hope that the Master will leave after eating dinner. This is our apology.”
Ru Feng was pestered to the point where she had no other choice but to sit down and say, ”It's better to obey than to be respectful. Since the my humble self's two directors are treating me to a meal, then we'll leave after eating. ”
When Chief Su heard this, he beamed with joy and immediately distributed the dishes, ”Let's set up a banquet!” Ru Feng was entertained and held back.
On the other hand, Pu Xian and the short guard walked to the front, and the guard said to Pu Xian: ”What business do you have with the monk? He was a guest of honor for the two directors. Now he's sitting with the two directors and he's drinking in there. ”
Pu Xian only believed him when he said that. Pu Xian said: ”The master and I will be walking together, I have come to urge him to set off as soon as possible.”
The guard led Pu Xian into the hall and stopped outside the door: ”Wait here for a moment, I will report inside.” He opened the door and entered, immediately releasing a strong smell of alcohol, which pounced onto Pu Xian's face, choking him, causing him to look inside as he covered his nose, and retreated.
Ru Feng was drinking inside. When he heard that someone was looking for him, he thought that the little monk had come, so he quickly put down the cup and went out. Seeing that it was Pu Xian, unexpectedly, Ru Feng said happily: ”I was just about to go and ask the little monk about it. You came together? I saw him today. ”
Pu Xian nodded: ”Senior Master, are you alright? We were just worried that you'd be caught and brought here. ” Ru Feng said: ”Nothing, nothing. I'll be fine wherever I go from now on. ”
Hearing his words, Pu Xian became suspicious, but asked further, ”Junior Master, let's go, little monk is still waiting.” Ru Feng said: ”A seat is not finished yet, how can I leave midway? It was better to do what he came for. ”You should go in as well. It's not too late to leave after eating.”
Just then, Chief Su and Vice Bureau Chief Ye came out again. They pulled and pulled until Pu Xian came in. He asked the Vice Bureau Chief to bring a chair for Pu Xian to sit on, then poured a cup of wine for Pu Xian and said, ”Young Master, you're both a friend of the Master and our friend, please have a drink.”
Pu Xian took the cup, ”Thank you for your kind intentions, Sir. The trail may not have a firm dao heart, but it's always good to eat. Never dare to drink, never dare to break the skin, please forgive me. They only eat two bowls of rice. The two chiefs did not give Pu Xian an easy time.
Ru Feng took advantage of the alcohol and said, ”Why do you have to be so formal when eating esophagus? There was no need to be so serious. As the saying goes, 'The meat and wine passed through one's intestines, and Lord Buddha kept them in his heart'. As long as the dao heart does not have evil thoughts, one need not only eat vegetarian food. ” The two chiefs were extremely respectful towards Ru Feng as they tried to persuade him to drink again.
After eating, Ru Feng was still drinking happily. When he was drunk again, Pu Xian was waiting at the side with his nose covered with his hands, unable to bear the smell of the alcohol. This made the three of them laugh.
Only then did Ru Feng put down his chopsticks and said, ”This Taoist can't stand it. I will take my leave now. ”Thank you for the hospitality!” He left his seat. Chief Suo took out the silver yuan that he had found on his body, and gave it to Ru Feng: ”I have committed many offenses today, Master, please take it with you.”
Ru Feng saw that his body had been searched for silver, and rejected: ”Just a small matter, there's no need to be serious, forget it. It's like the my humble self is buying a pack of cigarettes for everyone to smoke. ”
Seeing that he was not going to pick it up, Chief Su became a little embarrassed and pulled Ru Feng back: ”If Master is not willing to take it back, then you must be blaming this official, this official is very uneasy.”
Ru Feng replied: ”Bureau Chief, you're being too serious. my humble self was guilty, so the Chief of the Bureau raised him up high. I definitely don't want the money. ” Hearing that, the bureau chief became anxious, he anxiously retrieved a handful of silver from his body, took the silver from bureau chief Suo's hand, and added it together to return to Ru Feng. Ru Feng thought: ”You are a thief official, you are used to whipping people, today is the perfect time to scrape you.”
As a result, he half-heartedly declined. The director put the money in his pocket.
Ru Feng laughed: ”For both of you to be competing like this, it would be too shameful if my humble self still doesn't accept it. I've let the two of you spend so much. ” He then said to the bureau chief, ”my humble self has killed you.”
The two of them smiled. ”Of course. Of course.”
Ru Feng snickered in his heart, and walked out the door with Pu Xian. The two men went out into the street again. By this time, the lanterns had been lit and night had fallen.
Ru Feng walked a few steps and asked Pu Xian: ”For the two of you to come here, do you want to stay in the temple or the shop?”
Pu Xian replied, ”We are staying at Magpie Inn.” With that, he looked at the direction he was heading in and brought Ru Feng back to the inn.
At this time, the young monk was waiting anxiously for Ru Feng. He was very happy to see Ru Feng and said: ”Senior brother has returned safely! Great! I'm having trouble finding a way to save you. ” After saying that, she hugged Ru Feng and kissed him again. Ru Feng said drunkenly: ”I am worried about you. Don't look at how fierce the cops were when they caught me. None of them bothered me. Senior brother will also dare to go anywhere from now on. ”
