The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 629

Xu Tian decided to invite the county magistrate to dinner that evening.

Songren was dispatched to the county government.

The county magistrate was delighted to hear that Xu Tian wanted to invite him to dinner.

He knew that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

No matter how important a person is, when they arrive in his territory, they will ultimately have to seek him out first.

So, without saying a word, he agreed immediately.

You should know that Xu Tian really went all out.

He was invited to one of the top restaurants in the county.

When Xu Tian saw the county magistrate arrive, he immediately ordered the waiter to serve the dishes.

"I've heard that the wine here is the best, and you can't even find wine like this in the capital."

Xu Tian took out a small wine bottle.

The bottle says "Intoxicating Immortals" on it.

The county magistrate was overjoyed when he saw the wine bottle!

You should know that he had never dared to drink this wine before.

Because it's just too expensive.

Even for a county magistrate like him, a year's salary wouldn't be enough.

How could someone with his family's wealth dare to drink this kind of wine?

In addition, the owner of this inn is no nobody.

He wouldn't curry favor with the county magistrate, so naturally he wouldn't offer his wine to the magistrate.

So for all these years, he has never drunk this kind of wine.

I was fortunate enough to be here today.

To be able to drink a cup of divine intoxication.

"Magistrate, please have a seat here!"

As soon as the county magistrate arrived, Xu Tian made a very refined gesture of invitation.

He then ordered the guards behind him to open the wine for them.

The county magistrate picked up his wine cup and took a sniff.

Instantly, I felt refreshed and relaxed.

"Indeed, this is excellent wine!"

He looked excited.

They even forgot their own identity.

Xu Tian also ignored the question of whether he was being impolite.

"I came here because I heard the wine at this inn is quite good. I've heard the magistrate can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, is that true?"

Xu Tian smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass, and nodded to the county magistrate.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate immediately beamed with joy.

"Where? Where? They're just talking nonsense, complete rubbish."

Actually, this was his favorite thing, and he thought to himself, "Xu Tian really hit the nail on the head."

Although Xu Tian was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes.

He raised his wine glass and toasted the county magistrate.

However, he did not drink the glass of wine in his own hand.

Then, using a trick, they got the magistrate to drink a second cup.

And so, the county magistrate drank ten cups of wine in a row.

Although this cup is not very big.

But he finished the whole pot of wine by himself.

The county magistrate was completely drunk.

Even his tongue was a little hard to straighten.

Xu Tian shook his head. "You're supposed to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? You'll be drunk after just ten cups."

He thought to himself, utterly speechless.

"Your Excellency, I wonder where all the disaster relief funds went?"

The disaster situation in the south had already been determined long ago.

Moreover, he believed that the issue of repairing the dikes should have been resolved long ago.

But I didn't expect that so much time had passed since then.

Even the dikes haven't been built.

Moreover, the workers all said it was because the funds hadn't been allocated.

However, all the funds had already been allocated to Li Er.

That only proves one thing: all the money ended up in other people's pockets.

These "others" naturally refer to officials from various parties.

When disaster relief is provided, officials get rich first.

This is a song that the people have been singing all along.

The magistrate, slurring his words, said, "The silver has indeed been delivered, but it hasn't even reached the county level."
