"That's it!" After Peng Ze and the others entered the living room of Zou Mansion, they told Zou Run what they were going to ask for.

Since he came to deceive people, he naturally had to make enough preparations, Xu Chen's target this time was placed on a certain official of the household department, in order to find a good excuse, he ordered Peng Ze to bring a shipload of goods, and deliberately carried a few prohibited items in it, and successfully attracted the attention of the inspection officials on the dock.

Later, when the little official took a group of white servants to the ship for inspection, he used some means to turn away those contraband.

It stands to reason that the little official would have no excuse for seizure, but the boatload of jewels was placed everywhere like that, and Peng Ze deliberately made the sailors shout and curse, which really ignited the fire of the little official.

So the next thing is much simpler, the people don't fight with the officials, the little official waved his pen, saying that Peng Ze had hidden contraband on the ship, and he wanted to bring the boat back to strictly investigate, Peng Ze They were naturally annoyed and angry, and when they wanted to draw their knives and do it, Wuhou in the fang rushed over with a group of fangding.

As a result, Peng Ze, who was weak in human strength, gave in and asked the servants to impound the ship.

"The adult claimed to be from the household department, so the grass people had to go to the household department to inquire, but the household master said that this matter was not in their hands, and asked the grass people to find the people of the Soldiers and Horses, and the grass people ran around in these yamen, and it has been more than ten days!

"I hope that the adults can be the masters of the grass people!" After Peng Ze finished speaking, he knelt down towards Zou Run.

After Zou Run heard this, he frowned, this matter was already obvious, it must be that little official who wanted to swallow up this boat of jewels when he saw the wealth.

Zou Run has been an official in the household department for many years, and the inspection on the wharf originally belonged to the Soldiers and Horses Division, but the household department also sent officials at the wharf for the convenience of tax collection, and there is inevitably some overlap in power between the two yamen, which also provides the best excuse for these officials to pass the buck, but the little official in the green robe that Peng Ze said must be an official of the household department.

What Zou Run hated most in his life were these officials who abused power and harmed the people, and as soon as he heard Peng Ze's speech at this moment, he naturally believed Peng Ze's words.

Naturally, Peng Ze said these words after thinking about it for a long time according to his previous preparations, and it seems that the effect is really extraordinary!

"Don't worry! This official will only make decisions for you!" Zou Run was already in charge of water transportation in the household department, and now that he learned that his officials had such illegal things, how could he tolerate it?

"Thank you, for your great kindness!" Peng Ze bowed again.

"It's okay! This is what this official should do!"

Originally, as soon as this matter was over, Peng Ze was about to leave, but Zou Run suddenly asked Peng Ze to stay and tell the couple about their hometown.

After Peng Ze heard this, how could there be any reason not to agree? It was originally for the sake of having a relationship with Zou Runla, how could he give up this opportunity to come to the door?

So, in the next time, Peng Ze told a lot of interesting stories about Yangzhou for Zou Run and his wife, Peng Ze has been wandering in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he has already practiced a clever mouth, and Yangzhou has just been there not long ago, these interesting things about Yangzhou are naturally eloquent, and Zou Run and his wife and the old man laughed.

This talk was a few hours, and seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Zou Run said: "Brother Peng, it is dark this day, and it is difficult to walk at night, I don't know where the two of you live?"

"Brother Zou, don't worry! We businessmen are all running all over the world, where do we care about any night road!"

Peng Ze really deserves to be the former big boss, only half a day's kung fu, and he has already called Zou Run a brother, although Peng Ze is actually much older than Zou Run, just because he has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he looks younger than the haggard Zou Run!

"I don't think Brother Peng will live in the humble house today! Anyway, the few guest rooms in the backyard are empty, and tomorrow I will go to the household yamen with Brother Wei to help you get the ship back!" Zou Run said.

When Peng Ze heard this, he was overjoyed, and after saying a few words of resignation, he agreed.

On the second day, early in the morning, the moon was still hanging in the sky, but Zou Run's wife had already gotten up to prepare breakfast for Zou Run.

Datong Fang is seven squares away from the Buzheng Fang, where the Hubu Yamen is located, and almost the entire Suzaku Street is separated.

Zou Run had to get up in the early hours of the morning every morning, wash up, and then take the old servant's carriage to the yamen, and each time it took more than an hour on the road.

It's no wonder that Zou Run always looks like he hasn't woken up!

Peng Ze is a person who practices martial arts, so he naturally doesn't worry about this, and after having breakfast with Zou Run in the early morning, he went to the Yamen of the Household Department together.

After Zou Run's goods were brought back, Peng Ze thanked Zou Run and then parted ways with Zou Run, and said that he would come back again after selling the goods.

Since he is pretending to be a businessman, he naturally wants to do business, isn't it?

So Peng Ze handled the goods for nearly half a month this time, after all, it was a boatload of precious jewelry, how could it be so easy to get rid of?

Half a month later, after Peng Ze sent Zou Run's information back to Yuzhang, he exchanged it for Xu Chen's latest instructions, and after understanding Xu Chen's latest instructions thoroughly, especially after memorizing those lines, he came to Zou Mansion again with a large bag of wine, meat, melons and fruits.

Because he was familiar with Zou Run's temperament, Peng Ze didn't dare to bring anything valuable, just some daily food!

"Brother Zou, little brother is here to visit again!" This time, Peng Ze looked more casual.

"Come on, what are you doing with something?" Sure enough, Zou Run frowned deeply when he saw the things Peng Ze was carrying.

Peng Ze didn't seem to see it, and handed a large bag of food in his hand to the old servant on the side.

"Big brother, what you said is not right! Old Peng, you definitely don't know what kind of alcohol I am! To be honest last time, I really didn't enjoy it!"

Peng Ze's straightforward words made Zou Run's face a little embarrassed, but Peng Ze still didn't seem to see it, and then said: "The last time the eldest brother invited me to drink, how can I not know the situation of the eldest brother as a brother?

After speaking, Peng Ze patted his chest with his hand and said to Zou Run with a sincere face.

"Big brother, don't be surprised, this time, I'll treat you back as a brother! Haha, this time brother, I brought good wine from the south! Big brother will know when he tastes it later!"

Zou Run is an official! Although he is a clean official, he is still an official who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years! If you want to play tricks with him, unless Xu Chen comes in person, Peng Ze alone will never be able to do it!

So Xu Chen simply instructed Peng Ze to act in his true colors, and he could say whatever he said and did whatever he wanted!

Sure enough, Peng Ze's sincere words did not annoy Zou Run.

"Well, you said that, big brother is not an unreasonable person. Zou Run said with a smile.

"That's right, big brother, don't look at me bringing so many things, in fact, when I really eat, I can eat most of them alone, and I don't have much left for my eldest brother and sister-in-law!" Peng Ze joked.

After a while, Zou Run's wife prepared a sumptuous feast for the two, and Peng Ze carefully took out a few jars of soju brought from Yuzhang and filled them with Zou Run.

"Brother wine, this time Childe's plan is all up to you!" Peng Ze muttered in his heart as he poured the wine.

As soon as the soju was poured out, the rich aroma of wine filled the whole room, Zou Run couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and pour it down, Peng Ze stood aside, revealing a wicked smile on his face.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Sure enough, Zou Run, who drank soju for the first time, said!

"Good wine! Haha! That's what you used to drink, it's just water!"

"Big brother, good amount of alcohol!"

"Haha, it's full!

After seeing the bottom of the shochu jar by jar, Peng Ze saw that Zou Run's eyes had begun to blur, so he immediately came up and started a big exchange of confidant words.

It also started the first and most critical step of Xu Chen's ultimate plan......

In Yuzhang City, in the small courtyard where the teenagers were, Xu Chen took the letter that Peng Ze had just sent back, and lowered his head in contemplation.

"Big brother, our first step is finished!" said Lu Hao on the side.

Xu Chen raised his head when he heard this, and said: "Yes! It is up to man to do things, and it is up to heaven to do things! What we should do has been done, and whether we can succeed in the end is not something we can control!"

There is a deep helplessness in this sentence, according to the current strength of the teenagers, there is only this can be done! Chang'an City is too big and too far away, and the teenagers can only use some indirect methods to influence it, but such methods are destined to rely only on luck!

"Okay! Don't think about it so much, do what we should do, Chang'an City can only wait for news!" Xu Chen said after cheering up.

"Okay, but it won't work out there, we still have to finish all the preparations according to the original plan!" Lu Hao nodded and said.

"Well, go and send a message to inform the third and fourth children, and let them rush back to Yuzhang City before the year!" Xu Chen said.

"Okay, I'll go now!" After speaking, Lu Hao walked out.

"It's still too weak! How can you deal with the countless troubles in the future?" After Lu Hao left, Xu Chen muttered to himself in the room alone.

"No! My fate must be in my own hands! No one wants to interfere!" After a while, Xu Chen, who was in confusion, was firm again, clenched his fists hard, and looked into the distance with a determined look.

And at this moment, Zou Run, who was far away in Chang'an City, fell into deep thought after Peng Ze left, and what Peng Ze said to him after drinking that day has been tumbling in his mind these days, making him unable to sleep.

In the end, Zou Run finally picked up the pen in his hand......
