There are 16 official arresters in Nanba County, and Chen is one of them.

Chen Zhukuai is sleek, has strong work ability, has a good reputation, and has high prestige, and other catchers are willing to listen to him, but they put their heads aside.

A year ago, the county government veteran catcher was dismissed from his post because of a mistake, and the current catcher took over. It stands to reason that whether it is qualifications or ability, Chen Zhukuai should be the head catcher, but the head catcher is the nephew of the county Cheng, so it is convenient enough to take the lead.

The group of arresters listened to Chen Hunting Kuai, which made the head catcher unhappy but helpless, and he still had to rely on Chen Catcher for many cases.

Early in the morning, as soon as Chen Yu entered the gate of the county government, he heard someone calling him.

Chen Zhuai turned his head to see that it was Luo Lin, and asked strangely: "Luo Zhukuai, is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Zhuai is very good at handling cases, but he is never domineering. On the contrary, he greeted all the fast catchers with a smile, and he took the initiative to help anyone who was in trouble, which was one of the reasons why the crowd caught him quickly.

Luo Lin smiled at Chen Zhukuai and said: "Today I have a treat, and I will eat at the Delicious Xuan in the evening, let's talk together, and have fun!" Please enjoy the face! ”

"Delicious Xuan?" Chen Zhukuai stared at Luo Lin strangely.

In Chen Zhukuai's memory, Luo Lin has never invited his brothers to dinner since he was a fast catcher, and of course he has never invited himself.

Meimeixuan is the best restaurant in Nanba County, and it costs a lot to eat there, so if the county officials or the wealthy families in the city treat themselves at Meiweixuan, Chen Zhukuai will not be surprised. But Rollin invited himself to dinner at the Delicious Restaurant, which made him feel a little weird.

"Luo Zhukuai, why did you remember to invite me to dinner?" Chen Zhuhai asked tentatively.

"Oh! Chen catches quickly! Rollin explained, "Not only you, but all the fast brothers, I have invited!" ”

"All pleased?" Chen Zhukuai was even more strange, and asked suspiciously: "Luo Zhukuai, don't you have any happy events?" ”

Luo Lin waved his hand and said, "What's the happy event, I just want to talk to my brothers!" ”

Chen Zhukuai groaned: "Have you asked for a head?" ”

"Of course!"

"Did he say yes?"

Luo Lin nodded: "Promised!" Chen catches quickly, you must appreciate the light! ”

After the admonition, Rollin left.

Looking at Luo Lin's back, Chen Zhukuai always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a clue.

In the evening, Chen Yu came to Meiweixuan as promised.

It was the time of eating, and the lobby of the restaurant was noisy, noisy, and the sound of shouting and shouting from time to time was heard.

Chen Zhu came to the second floor, Xiao Er was waiting at the staircase, he recognized Chen Zhu, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chen Zhu, please here!" ”

After that, Xiao Er led Chen Yu to the innermost room.

Chen Zhu came to Meimeixuan and knew that this private room inside was the largest and of course the most luxurious.

Luo Lin would have such a big spending, which couldn't help but make Chen Zhukuai secretly surprised.

Chen Zhu quickly asked Xiao Er, "Have all the guests arrived?" ”

Xiao Er said respectfully: "It's just for you and Lord Headcatcher!" ”

Chen Yu nodded quickly and entered the private room with Xiao Er.

Sure enough, it was very spacious, and there were more than a dozen men sitting in front of a large table, which was not obviously crowded. These people did not wear official uniforms, and they were all caught by the Nanba County Ya.

Xiao Er went out to close the door, and the noise downstairs suddenly became much quieter.

The crowd was chatting vigorously, and when they saw Chen Zhu coming in, Qi Qi stood up and greeted him: "Chen Zhu is coming, hurry up and sit down, and the place is reserved for you!" ”

Chen Chukuai's face was full of smiles, and he nodded at everyone in response: "Everyone is a brother, how can I sit on the head, just have a position!" ”

Luo Lin hurriedly said: "How can it be done, Chen Zhukuai, it is the common meaning of the brothers to sit on the top, so you don't shirk!" ”

Chen Zhu quickly refused, so he had to sit on the top.

He glanced at the empty seat beside him and asked, "Luo Zhuku, will the head catcher really come?" ”

"What? Chen Zhukuai, you don't want me to come? It wasn't Rollin who spoke, but the head catcher who happened to push the door in.

"You're our big guy's boss, why don't you want to come?" Chen Zhukuai answered quickly, and when he said this, he asked everyone, "Brothers, is that so?" ”

Everyone echoed in unison: "Of course, we are all looking forward to the headcatcher!" ”

Although Chen Zhukuai was very disdainful of catching heads in his heart, he did a good job in face.

The head catcher didn't say anything anymore, and went straight to the empty seat next to Chen Zhukuai and sat down.

When everyone arrived, Luo Lin shouted outside the door: "Serve!" ”

Xiao Er was already waiting at the door, and when he heard Luo Lin's order, he quickly began to serve the food, and four or five guys rushed in.

Copper wallets, white-cut chicken, stir-fried pork with wild bamboo shoots, honey-roasted fire recipe, snail shrimp, braised beef, cloud pigeon eggs, roasted cauliflower, braised fish bones, phoenix breasts, dry roasted winter bamboo shoots, mandarin duck breastfeeding, and so on.

In a short time, more than 20 dishes were served, and the table was full.

These dishes are all the signature dishes of Meiweixuan, and most of the people have never heard of it, and they are just dumbfounded.

Zhutou and Chen Zhukuai are knowledgeable, and they know that they will definitely not be able to take down this table without fifty taels of silver.

"The dishes are ready, hurry up and serve the wine!" Rollin then commanded.

"Great!" Xiao Er agreed, and seven or eight jars of wine were sent in.

"Shhh The crowd couldn't help but gasp, the guys sent them were all thirty-year-old champion red, how could these wines cost a hundred and ten taels of silver.

Everyone muttered to themselves in their hearts: What kind of windfall did this kid Luo Lin make?

"Luo Zhukuai, what is the reason for your treat today, I always know that we will be called. Otherwise, everyone is very depressed from this wine! The headcatcher was the first to ask.

The doubts of the head catcher are also everyone's doubts, and when the head catcher asked, the crowd quickly turned their attention to Luo Lin.

Luo Lin seemed to have expected this question from the head catcher, and said with a smile: "Please fill the wine first, and then I will talk about this reason, I will definitely not let the brothers drink suffocated!" ”

Everyone filled up their wine and waited for Rollin to uncover the mystery.

Luo Lin stood up, picked up the wine bowl, and said to everyone: "Today's treat has three meanings. The first meaning is to thank everyone, Luo has been fishing for almost three years, thanks to the care of the brothers in the past three years, Luo has thanked the brothers here. ”

Luo Lin's words were sincere, but the people at the table couldn't help but blush a little. Although they all came to the banquet today, no one looked at Luo Lin in their eyes on weekdays, and they didn't squeeze him less.

Luo Lin continued: "The second meaning is to inform all the brothers that I, Luo Lin, will also have a deputy from today onwards!" ”

Rollin has a lieutenant, which is also a reason?

Everyone looked at each other.

Among the people present, except for Luo Lin, there are no deputy servants and white servants, and the rest are more or less. Among them, Chen Chukuai had the most subordinates: three deputy servants and more than a dozen white servants.

Because Luo Lin had a deputy servant, he invited such a table of meals, which made everyone cry and laugh.

With so much silver, isn't it easy to hire as many deputy servants and white servants as you want, this kid is dizzy?

Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, they could only listen patiently to Rollin's words. They all had a hunch that the third meaning of Rollin was the real theme of the evening.

Sure enough, Luo Lin said slowly: "The third meaning is that my deputy wants to meet with all the brothers, and I hope that the brothers will take care of them in the future!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

Luo Lin didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Tonight's wine and food are all invited by him, I am just the messenger, if the brothers are willing to see him, give a word!" ”

Hurry up, you look at me, I'll look at you, and finally set my eyes on Catcher and Chen Catcher.

Chen Zhukuai was very curious about this generous and generous deputy, and without waiting for the arrester to speak, he clapped his head and said, "Since we are all here, how can we not see the main owner of the treat?" ”

Chen Zhukuai's words were exactly what everyone wanted to say, and everyone echoed in unison.

Seeing that Chen Zhuhu was about to steal his limelight, the head catcher was a little annoyed in his heart, but he also wanted to know who this mysterious deputy was, so he didn't bother with Chen Zhukuai.

Luo Lin nodded and shouted outside the door: "Master Lu, you can come in!" ”

As soon as Luo Lin's words fell, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Lu Xiaoxian appeared in front of everyone with a smile.

"My surname is Lu, my name is Lu Xiaoxian, and I am now Luo Zhukuai's deputy officer. I've seen Lord Catcher, I've seen Chen Catcher and all the big brothers! Lu Xiaoxian didn't recognize his life either, and bowed to everyone.

Nonsense is the first sentence of interpersonal relationships, and Lu Xiaoxian said a really troubled sentence.

The head catcher set his eyes on Luo Lin: "Luo Zhukuai, the deputy you are talking about is this Lu Gongzi?" ”

"It was Lu Gongzi who took the initiative to be my lieutenant!" Rollin explained.

Everyone knew that Rollin never lied.

Chen Zhu looked at Lu Xiaoxian quickly, and asked quietly: "Lu Gongzi is a talent, why bother to do this deputy service?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said: "As long as you can keep one side safe and protect one side of the people, there is nothing wrong with being a deputy servant!" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, the crowd quickly got goosebumps all over his body, he had seen people who talked big, but it was really rare to make big words so fresh and reasonable, it was really embarrassing for him.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Xiaoxian's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly picked up the wine bowl from the table and said to everyone: "The three-layer meaning of Luo Zhukuai was also said just now, everyone drink first!" I'll do it first! ”

With that, Lu Xiaoxian drank all the wine in the bowl.

Lu Xiaoxian is so bold, which is in line with these fast hunting temperaments, and everyone is not restrained, and they all drink the wine.

"Come, big brothers, let's talk while eating!" Lu Xiaoxian found a seat and sat down, and took the lead in moving his chopsticks.

The crowd was no longer polite, and feasted.

Then, Lu Xiaoxian started from catching heads, toasting everyone one by one, and it was a big bowl for each person. After a round of saluting, Lu Xiaoxian drank more than a dozen bowls, as if nothing happened, and everyone who looked directly was stunned.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Xiaoxian picked up the wine bowl again and said to everyone: "Everyone, Lu Mou met the eldest brother for the first time today, and I am very happy. I salute you with a bowl and drink this wine, and I have a welcome gift for you! ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian drank it all again.

When everyone heard that there was a greeting gift, they all quickly drank the wine, put down the wine bowl, held their breath, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully to what Lu Xiaoxian said.

"I'm new here, and I want you to take care of it in the future, and I will give each eldest brother five taels of silver here, which is my meeting gift, please smile!"

The meeting gift turned out to be five taels of silver per person, Lu Xiaoxian's generous gesture smashed a cadre of people and the others, they didn't know if Lu Xiaoxian was talking about wine or the truth, and they were stunned on the spot for a while.

Lu Xiaoxian instructed Luo Lin: "Luo Zhu, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Luo Lin nodded, and took out a bag from his arms, which contained a handful of broken silver, all of which were prepared in advance, and each ingot was exactly five taels.

Rollin spun around and finished handing out the money.

Lu Xiaoxian said again: "The two eldest brothers who are on duty in the yamen tonight, don't forget their silver." Also, don't forget to send them some of this food and drink! ”

"The wine and food have been delivered to the county office, and I will hand over the money to them tomorrow morning, don't worry!" Rollin replied.

The crowd looked at Luo Lin, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in their hearts: This Luo Lin is really lucky, and he has encountered such a stupid person with a lot of money, and he will definitely be much more comfortable in the future.

Chen Zhukuai secretly thought in his heart: This person is young, so scheming, only half an hour, he took the heart of the crowd catcher, it seems that he has to be careful in the future.

The head catcher didn't speak, looked at Luo Lin, and then at Lu Xiaoxian, his eyes kept rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't seem to notice the thoughts of everyone at the table, and picked up a bowl of wine and said: "Brothers, don't get drunk tonight, you can't go home tonight, enough wine and enough food, come, let's do it!" ”

This time, Lu Xiaoxian was not digging a pit with a shovel, but smashing a pit with silver. Whatever it is, as long as it's a pit.
