In a short time, the guy had finished laying out the dishes on the table.

Taking advantage of this, Wu Zheng smiled and asked, "I don't know if Lord Huang likes to drink old wine or ......?" ”

"Old wine, old wine. This county is just this bite. ”

Wu Zhengchong Xiao Er said: "Then go to two pots of old bars." ”

"Okay."

After a while, the wine and food were all served, Wu Zheng waved his hand, and motioned for the guys to retreat.

The smile on Huang Degong's face was even stronger.

He took out a sandalwood box from his side, put it on the table, and then gently pushed it in front of Wu Zheng with one hand.

Huang Degong said: "Today, Lord Wu invites a banquet, this county naturally can't come empty-handed, prepare a little little courtesy, and hope that Lord Wu will not give up and smile." ”

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is for this official?" ”

"Exactly. Why don't you open it and take a look. ”

With that, Huang Degong got up and opened the sandalwood box for Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng took a look at the probe, a white jade Buddha statue, the whole body was crystal clear, and the inside was full of the light of harmony, as if it was flowing.

At first glance, it can make people fall in love.

"Lord Wu, this is a thing of the late Tang Dynasty, although it is not from the palace, but it is rare in the market, it has been with the county for more than ten years, and it will be given to Lord Wu today."

"Lord Huang, this is a gift...... I'm afraid it's too expensive, right? ”

"Huh...... Lord Wu is outside, although you and I are far apart in age, we can live in the same land and drink a river water together. Lord Wu doesn't have to be so polite. ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said: "Since this is the case, it is better for the official to be respectful." ”

Move the wooden box to the side.

When Huang Degong saw this, he was secretly happy in his heart.

Wu Zheng asked, "I think Lord Huang also guessed the intention of the official to invite a banquet today?" ”

Huang Degong poured his wine and said, "I guessed one or two, but I don't know if I guessed right?" ”

"Lord Huang might as well tell me about it."

"The county thinks that Lord Wu's banquet today should be ...... Have a good fate, my lord, is this county right? ”

Wu Zhengzhan laughed, "Lord Huang is really a person who has experienced the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, and he has a deep understanding of the way. Admire, admire, admire. ”

"So, the county thought it was right?"

"Yes, yes. Lord Huang is the parent official of the county, and the official will go to the health center to take office in the near future, so he naturally wants to have a good relationship with Lord Huang. ”

Huang Degong finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Wu Zheng had a plan, then this matter could be discussed.

"I heard that Lord Wu said that he went to the health office to take office, and there is only one thousand households in this county, but my lord went to Lianghu Thousand Households to take office?"

"Exactly."

"So, you and I are going to work together in this county for many years?"

"Then I have to ask Lord Huang for more support."

"How do you say that?" Huang Degong feigned anger and said, "It should be mutual support...... That's right. ”

"Okay, just like Lord Huang said."

"Good, good. From now on, you and I will be brothers. Come, be an old brother and toast a brother. ”

Wu Zheng wanted to vomit in his heart, is there anyone who recognizes his brother with such a shy face? The man with a lot of beard is also a shame that he can speak.

But he replied: "If you don't get drunk today, you won't return." ”

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Huang Degong opened his drunken eyes and said: "Brother Wu, we are all brothers, this Ming person doesn't say secret words, can that letter be with you?" ”

Wu Zheng was also drunk, his eyes were hazy, "It's really in my hands." ”

"That's good, as long as you return the letter to the old brother, you can ask for anything, and the old brother will never say anything."

"Since that's the end of the story, you're welcome?"

"Just say it, say it."

"Good. I just have two conditions. One, within ten days, I will ask for 10,000 stone of grain. ”

"Well said, well said. Hey...... What does my brother want so much food for? Before, you took 2,400 stones from your brother and 5,500 stones from the Chen family, adding up to 8,000 stones, right? ”

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed: "My brother must have known that the imperial court said that it gave me the establishment of three hundred households, but except for military uniforms and ordnance, I didn't give a single piece of food and salary. More than 300 soldiers under my command, plus the 800 mouths on the seaside, are 10 or 20 stone of grain a day, and 7 or 8,000 stone a year. Brother, you say, isn't that reasonable? ”

"Oh? …… Understand, understand. I'll be able to call the bills on this matter, my brother, even though he said the second one. ”

"These two, it's not a difficult thing, I want the position of deputy Qianhu of Lianghu Guard. My brother knows that in this troubled world, there are people around him who are safe, otherwise even if there is more money and food, it will only be a wedding dress for others. ”

"Yes, yes, brother said yes. It's just that the elder brother is just a seven-grade county order, I'm afraid I can't help my brother so much. ”

Wu Zheng's face froze, "Brother, this is insincere?" Who wrote that letter to whom, doesn't my brother know? It's not just a thousand households, even if it's a thousand households, isn't it a matter of his words? ”

Wu Zheng said this, he was bluffing, in fact, he didn't know who Bolo wrote this letter to, he only knew that it was an important minister of the court.

Therefore, Wu Zheng was very nervous in his heart, if at this time, Huang Degong asked who it was, then it would be recognized.

But Huang Degong didn't ask, he already fully believed that Wu Zheng got the letter from Sun Mingzhen, and at the same time, he was convinced that Wu Zheng wanted to use it to blackmail him for personal gain.

"Brother, if you want some money and food, then I will accept it in one bite, but this thousand households is indeed not something that my brother can decide."

"Then bother Brother Lao to inform Yue Guogong of my request, I'll wait for your news."

Huang Degong thought for a while and said, "It's okay." Brother, don't worry, my brother will go to Shaoxing Mansion tomorrow and report what you want. But...... You've got to hide the letter, it's a matter of my brother's life. ”

Wu Zheng said with relief: "Don't worry, brother, I know the seriousness of this matter." The battle of Jiading, I can see through, in August my uncle and I were still fighting with the Tartars, and in June, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, gave Hangzhou to the Tartars. If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and diverted to Jinshanwei, otherwise, my brother wouldn't have been able to see me. ”

Listening to Wu Zheng's complaint, Huang Degong was relieved, and he lowered his voice and said: "Brother is right, the number of Ming Qi has been exhausted, and the world will be Manchu sooner or later." You and I still have some power in our hands, so we can go over as soon as possible and feel at ease as soon as possible. ”

"Yo, dare you and I want to go together? You know, I'm a thousand households, and that's why I asked for it. Otherwise, when it's over, a hundred households, who is your business, brother said, isn't it? ”

"Alas, alas." Fellow Daoists, Huang Degong's heart was full of joy, and he responded with a smile on his face, "You and I don't know each other, don't worry, brother, I will definitely say good things for you tomorrow." ”

Wu Zheng took the opportunity and said: "Then this matter depends on the elder brother's kind words in front of the Duke of Yue?" ”

Huang Degong hurriedly responded: "It should be, it should be." ”
