Last night, Zhou Bo was still thinking about how to meet this county magistrate, because Meng Liang is still in the prison of the county government, although I don't know if this Meng Liang is the famous general in history, but Zhou Bo also wants to take a look. In any case, righteous people who can resist the surface are worthy of their own friendship.

Moreover, Zhou Bo knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Haifeng County, he had to have a good relationship with the county order, so he readily agreed today.

Out of time urgency, Song Jingtao only inquired about some news about the county order from some old people in the house, and the news he got was basically the same, but it didn't have much substance.

Song Jingtao returned to the inquiry and said to Zhou Bo: "Big brother, I inquired just now, this Zhu Tao has a son, we have met this." ”

Zhou Bo thought about it for a while, the young man Zhu Bangchun he saw in the store a while ago was Zhu Tao's son, because he looked very innocent, so Zhou Bo was very impressed by him.

"Then there is that he is very greedy for money, a wife, and a concubine in nine rooms. As for the rest, it is not known. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bocai dispersed his sadness, it seems that this Zhu Tao is a corrupt official, and it is much easier to do these things. It seems that this county order is still quite superstitious, so it should be used well.

Since they went to the county order's mansion for a banquet, they couldn't go empty-handed, Zhou Bo and Song Jingtao searched for it up and down the Song Mansion repeatedly, and selected an object in their mouths, the pen wash of purple agate.

After a careful look at this wash, it was just an object in the shape of a lilac bowl, and the color was bright. Song Jingtao said that this is not bad, and it is not a shame to give it to the county order. Zhou Bo is a layman in this regard. He only knew that this thing would be worth a lot of money if it was brought to modern times. Since Song Jingtao said that he can handle it, he is right. In this way, Zhou Bo took Song Jingtao and the two to the county mansion.

Cheng Yu said that the most annoying thing for him now is to be an official. didn't want to go, and Yang Fan didn't have the slightest interest in this county order. These two people didn't go to follow Zhou Bo's wishes, and now although there is no movement on the side of Hebei Mountain, the huge Song Mansion still needs a pressure formation, and with the two of them at home, Zhou Bo can rest assured.

didn't bring his family, only Song Jingtao and Zhou Bo. Song Jingtao naturally knows the position of the county government well, and he doesn't need anyone to lead him.

When I came to the door of the prefectural mansion. Master Wu Li was waiting at the door early, and when he saw the two coming, he hurriedly came up to greet him. "The two sons are here, and they are far away, so please hurry up. ”

"Where did the master say, it's just a grass people, and I'm really ashamed to bother you to welcome you. Zhou Bo hugged his fists. In any case, the other party is considered an official, and he has not met with the county magistrate yet. Zhou Bo didn't dare to put on any show, at least he didn't want to cause any trouble to himself because of these mistakes.

"Zhou Gongzi doesn't have to be polite. You are a distinguished guest invited by the master, please come in quickly. Saying that, Wu Litou led the way.

Song Jingtao secretly picked a thumbs up like Zhou Bo in the back, and said in his heart that the eldest brother really has two hits, and now he has become a distinguished guest of the county order, and the dignified master has to bow to Zhou Bo, which is not something that ordinary people can do, at least there are few such people in Haifeng County.

Three turns and two turns, Wu Li led the way to Zhu Tao's study, pushed the door into the room, and Zhu Tao was drinking tea on the chair at this time. Zhou Bo hugged his fists and gave a salute, and said, "Zhou Bo, a grass man, has seen Master Zhu. "In this era, ordinary people have to kneel first when they see the county order, because of the different ranks, the people can only kneel and speak. However, Zhou Bo doesn't have this habit, and he doesn't want to kneel in his heart, there is gold under the man's knees, this sentence is not said casually.

Seeing that Zhou Bo only gave himself a fist salute, Zhu Tao not only did not get angry, but was even happier, yesterday he heard Bao Mian say that this Zhou Bo can divination, which is very effective. Although Zhu Tao didn't think so, looking at Bao Mian's face, and Bao Mian had to leave Haifeng County early, Zhu Tao also believed it. Although he didn't kneel down for himself today, it proved that Zhou Bo should be a master, and unconsciously Zhu Tao laughed and said: "Where did Zhou Gongzi say, this official heard that you are knowledgeable, and specially invited you to the mansion to make a little bit of the friendship of the landlord." ”

"I am only shallow in the next year, how can I have any knowledge, the county magistrate really exalted me. This is a gift specially prepared by the villain, and the county magistrate is invited to laugh. As he spoke, Zhou Bo took out the pen wash that had been prepared long ago from his cuffs.

Seeing the purple agate brush, Zhu Tao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his slightly obese face was wrinkled with smiles. "Gongzi Zhou is so polite, why is this official embarrassed to accept your gift?"

Although he said so, Zhu Tao took the pen wash in Zhou Bo's hand without any disguise, and he couldn't put it down.

Looking at Zhu Tao's expression, Zhou Bo knew that this pen wash should be worth a lot of money, otherwise he would not easily impress this money-hungry county order. "It's a small courtesy, if the adults don't dislike it. ”

"Virtuous nephew, your father-in-law and I are also old friends, so it makes the adults seem to be angry, so it is better to change your name to uncle. Zhu Tao said while fiddling with the pen wash.

Hehe, Zhou Bo secretly sighed that 'politeness' is really easy to speak, he will change his name to uncle after such a big moment, it is good to be able to get closer, there will definitely be a place to use him in the future, and he is not squeamish. "That little nephew has seen my uncle, this is my sworn brother, Song Jingtao. ”

Song Jingtao, who was behind him, heard this and also stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Tao looked at Song Jingtao carefully, this one can't be compared with Zhou Boke, but he still has to get by in terms of face. "Hehe, the virtuous nephew is not more polite, I heard that your father died a while ago, and my uncle and I were busy with official business, so I didn't take the time to go to the house to visit, I'm really ashamed. Come on, two good nephews, please take a seat. ”

The two of them were seated, and their own subordinates offered tea. The three of them tasted tea and were old-fashioned, this kind of greeting on the face Zhou Bo was naturally handy, the customs and customs of the south and the north of the world, and he praised this Zhu County Order again and again, and thus firmly believed that Zhou Bo had the skill of divination, but he had just met, and it was not good for him to say it directly.

Zhou Bo was talking for a while in the county order's study, and the master Wu Li knocked on the door and entered. Said: "Master." The banquet is ready. Please also have rice. ”

"Okay, we'll be right over. ”

Zhu Tao took the two out of the study, walked through the corridor with carved beams and paintings, and turned the corner to the restaurant.

A young man was teasing birds with a birdcage in the yard, and through the hollow corridor, Zhou Bo saw that it was none other than Zhu Tao's son Zhu Bangchun. Zhou Bo and Zhu Bangchun have met before. And he was very impressed with him, so Zhou Bo recognized it at a glance.

"Hey, Zhu Bangchun!" Zhou Bo shouted out of the corridor.

When Zhu Bangchun heard the shout, he was immediately stunned, and his eyes that were waiting to look around fell on Zhou Bo, revealing a bright smile. 'Big brother!' Then he ran over as if he had seen his playmate.

"Nephew, do you know?" asked Zhu Tao puzzled.

Zhou Bo nodded and said, "I met on the street before, and I met by chance." ”

Listening to Zhou Bo's words, Zhu Tao showed even more puzzled eyes. He knows his son best, and he has been relatively withdrawn since he was a child. I can't play with anyone, and I'm still like a child.

"Big brother, why are you here?" asked Zhu Bangchun with a smile. At the same time, despite the presence of his father, he pulled Zhou Bo's sleeve, as if the two of them were close friends.

Touching Zhu Bangchun's head, Zhou Bo said, "I'm here to visit my uncle." For some reason, Zhou Bo also has a very good impression of Zhu Bangchun, especially when he sees his eyes that do not contain any secular magazines, he is even more fond of him.

"Zhu Bangchun, don't be rude, Zhou Gongzi is a guest I invited, you go play first." Zhu Tao said in a deep voice. Although he doesn't know much about Zhou Bo, he has heard a little about Daqingshan, and this Zhou Bo is by no means a good man and a woman, he doesn't want his son to have anything to do with such a person.

Zhu Bangchun was still very afraid of his father, and when he heard his father's reprimand, the smile on his face suddenly turned to loss, and he glanced at Zhou Bo: "Big brother, I'll go play first." ”

"Go ahead. Looking at Zhu Bangchun who ran away, Zhou Bo felt a little sad in his heart, no matter how he said that he was also a person with blood on his hands, he should not have any contact with such an innocent child. Similarly, Zhu Tao's words also made Zhou Bo feel a little uneasy, and it seems that this Zhu Tao has also heard about Daqingshan.

"Virtuous nephew, this son of mine calls me spoiled on weekdays, ignore him, let's go eat. ”

Zhou Bo's smile remained undiminished, as if nothing had happened. "Uncle, please. ”

It seems that this county order really looks up to itself, a full table of banquets, animals in the mountains, geese in the clouds, cattle and sheep on the land, fresh under the sea, fried and fried, everything.

The Song Mansion was originally a wealthy family, and the food was naturally not comparable to ordinary people, but it was much inferior to this table.

The three of them sat down, and the family poured a full glass of wine for the three of them. Zhu Tao raised his glass and said: "The virtuous nephew is through the past and the present, it really opens my eyes, today I have a little friendship with the landlord, this cup of wine, I respect you." ”

"Uncle. Zhou Bo waved his hand and said, "You are the elders, we are the juniors, how can you let you respect us, we should respect you for this glass of wine." "After that, Zhou Bo did it first as a respect.

"Haha, refreshing. Zhu Tao also did it.

In this way, the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp and saluted each other.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, all three of them were drunk. Zhu Tao saw that the time was almost up, and retreated. "Virtuous nephew, I heard that you are very good at divination, as long as you just divinate a hexagram, you can know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years later, but is there such a thing?"

The wine glass in his hand was full of it, and Zhou Bo knew that this was the reason why Zhu Tao invited him to come. Although he had been prepared, his heart still trembled when he heard Zhu Tao's words. I didn't expect that the few words I said casually to Bao Mian would become a god when I arrived at Zhu Tao. "Uh...... I just know a little bit about the skin. ”

After getting Zhou Bo's affirmation, Zhu Tao was even more interested, "Virtuous nephew, how do you think you give my uncle a divination?"

"Uncle, it's not that the little nephew shirks it, it's just that these are superstitions, just be content with the destiny of heaven, why force it. Zhou Bo pretended to be **.

"Anything else, you can give my uncle a simple calculation and see what my fate is. ”

Zhou Bo pretended to hesitate and then said, "Uncle, let me give you a face." Looking at Zhu Tao's face carefully, Zhou Bo said: "Uncle, your heaven is full of round, your left eyebrow is high and your right eyebrow is low, your middle is short and heavy, and your life is dominated by nine wives." ”

Seeing that Zhou Bo didn't say any more, Zhu Tao scratched his head, these are all clichés, but they are indeed right. In particular, Zhu Tao believed in the divination technique of Zhou Bo, so he did not doubt it. But these are all things that have already happened, how can Zhu Tao be satisfied. "Virtuous nephew, you are calculating it for me, and see what my fate will be in the future, and whether it is possible to be promoted. ”

Zhou Bo frowned, hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth, as if he had made some difficult decision, "Okay, although these things have damaged Yangshou, but my uncle begs me, I will make an exception for you to calculate a hexagram." ”

Zhu Tao reported his birthday, Zhou Bo nodded after hearing this, his eyes were closed, and his thumb moved back and forth on his index and middle fingers, seeing that this was somewhat similar to the warlocks in the rivers and lakes. With a cup of tea, Zhou Bo opened his eyes, "God gives the poor a gold, no need to fight for it, no need to share." Once the triumph and blessing came, the disaster caused and perished in Genshan. ”

"Virtuous nephew, I don't understand what you said, can you be more detailed. What is this disaster?" asked Zhu Tao.

"Uncle, there is a murderer in this hexagram. I count the white tiger in front of you to block the way, this main culprit, as the saying goes, the male offender white tiger will be in trouble. And the tiger is not lying on the road, and the five elements gossip is the mountain, and the disaster should start from the mountain. I don't know about the rest. Zhou Bo raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

"Oh. Zhu Tao carefully echoed Zhou Bo's words, and his slightly closed eyes suddenly released a deep light, because he thought of Hebei Mountain. Zhu Tao knew that there were mountain thieves on the mountains of Hebei, but they only robbed on the side of the mountain and did not enter Haifeng County, so the two of them were safe. If you want to enter what Zhou Bo said, it seems that this Hebei Mountain is plotting against you, since it will affect your official and financial roads in the future, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless.

Of course, at this time, Zhu Tao didn't know about the grievances between Hebei Mountain and the Song Mansion, otherwise he would never believe Zhou Bo so easily.

"Uncle, the little nephew has a reluctant request. Zhou Bodao.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"I have a fellow villager named Meng Liang, who was arrested by you the day before yesterday for making trouble in front of the Xie Mansion, can you bypass this person in front of your little nephew. Showing off.

Zhu Tao thought about it for a while, and if there was really a person named Meng Liang who was arrested because of Bao Mian, he was in prison at this time. Since Bao Mian is gone, let's be a favor. "As soon as it was a trivial matter, I immediately asked someone to release him. ”

The three of them chatted casually, and all the things that should be done were done, and Zhou Bo had no intention of staying in the mansion, so he got up and retired.

"Haha, big brother, you really did this thing, but I don't know if the yamen can come forward to exterminate Hebei Mountain. Out of the county order's mansion, until there was no one, Song Jingtao couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and said.

"It's not that easy, even if they do make a move, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. Moreover, there will definitely be other reasons why the cottage in Hebei can stand here for so many years without falling. Zhou Bo said leisurely. Because as far as he knows, the number of troops in the Kanto region is not quite large, and it is like digging for things to exterminate such a cottage, these bandits do a lot of evil on weekdays, but the army ignores the lives of the common people, there must be a hidden secret, but he doesn't know the reason yet.

Since traveling to ancient times, Zhou Bo's thinking has become much sharper, and he has a long-term view, which he doesn't know why.

Song Jingtao was confused, but he didn't bother to think about these things, as long as he followed his eldest brother. This is also the principle of him and Yang Fan, it seems that after having this big brother, his thoughts are always so naïve, rather than this, it is better to obey the arrangement of the big brother, at least Zhou Bo will not harm them.
