Hurriedly returning to the wine table, the two casually snorted to cover up that Gong had been too long.

In the next banquet, Zhou Zheng did not move his chopsticks, just drinking and chatting.

This kind of attitude made Luo Li confused, and he couldn't understand what Zhou Zheng said about what it looked like.

Fortunately, Luo Li is a delicate person, what the other party does, he will follow, and after the big deal, buy some food and go back to the post station.

After three rounds of wine, few people moved chopsticks!

In addition to the county order Zhang Ling and the three people, only Li Zimi, the commander of the forbidden army, was sighing and snoring.

The forbidden army was not stationed in Beijing for a long time, and had to change guards with the border army every three years.

There are a lot of hard days in the border town, so Li Zimi doesn't care about pure vegetable leaves, anyway, filling his stomach is the right thing.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Zheng, who was flushed, raised his glass and stood up, his tongue was slightly knotted and said: "Zhang~ Zhang County Order, the old man is a little drunk, drink all the wine in the cup, it's time ~ It's time to go back to the post station!" ”

The envoys all said so, and the rest of the people didn't want to keep much, and they raised their glasses one after another.

Zhang Ling said in a rather self-reproachful tone: "Alas! Ningshan County is poor, and the vulgar food is not well greeted, and I hope you adults will not be surprised! ”

Poor? It's so good at pulling calves!

Ningshan County is the number one county in Anguo, close to Beijing, since ancient times to the west, back and forth caravans, which does not rest here?

Zhou Zheng shook his body, waved his big hand and said: "Zhang County Order doesn't have to blame himself, although it is a vegetable leaf tonight, but the old man can eat it deliciously, and he has eaten the word incorruptible, and the county order of Ningshan County is worthy of being the official of the people's parents!" ”

Get! came a more good calf, the chopsticks didn't move, and said that it was delicious, Lord Zhou asked for a face, okay?

Listening to each other's praise in his ears, holding a full wine glass in his hand, Luo Li was disdainful in his heart.

After a long and smelly fart, everyone finally drank the wine in their glasses and prepared to leave.

Luo Li was even more confused, what about the hints he said? Where?

Just when he couldn't help but want to ask, Zhou Zheng, who wanted to leave, suddenly turned around and said, "Zhang County's order doesn't have to be sent far, the old man and the others just leave on their own." ”

Zhang Ling insisted: "Yes, yes!" It's getting late, and the contemptible people should send it off! ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and refused: "It's too troublesome for Zhang County's order, the old man doesn't want to go!" Besides, the deputy envoy Lord Luo has something to do in the city, so he is not in a hurry to go back! ”

His brows furrowed slightly, and Zhang Ling asked curiously: "Lord Luo, it's getting late, what is the important thing to do?" Is it good to explain to the county government? ”

Luo Li was stunned! I didn't understand which one Zhou Zheng was playing, so I had to cast an inquiring look.

"Haha! This matter must be done by Lord Luo, and the county government can't handle it! Zhou Zheng said in time to save the scene.

"The adult's business is the contemptible thing, and I hope Lord Zhou will show it!" Zhang Ling asked, clasping his fists.

After taking a deep look at the other party, Zhou Zheng said slowly: "Lord Luo wants to go around and observe the local businessmen!" ”

"Merchants can drive local tax revenue, as long as their business is good, the treasury will definitely be full, and Lord Luo can report to His Majesty when he returns to Shangjing!"

"I also hope that Zhang County's order will inform me where the inn is located, and Lord Luo will be convenient to explore one or two, so as not to take the wrong road!"

Luo Li looked at Zhou Zheng in a daze, his eyes were about to pop out, and he couldn't help but pop out two words in his heart: Damn!

Obviously, he wanted to stay in the inn, but he said that he was aware of the people's feelings, and he pushed Luo Li out, Zhou Zheng deserved to be the cheeky king, so shameless!

A thought flashed through his mind, Luo Li didn't want to be taken advantage of by the cheeky king, and immediately clarified: "I didn't think about ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zheng interrupted instantly: "What? Lord Luo, your sister wants to eat souvenirs? That dare is good, Zhang County's order is also here, just to inquire. ”

That's all he said, if Zhang Ling still doesn't understand, he has been an official for so many years in vain!

With the strength of the wine, Zhang Ling said with a confused look in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me for being too contemptible to drink and unable to accompany me personally!" ”

"However, Zhu Xiancheng can take the place of the contemptible people and take all the adults to the inn to observe the people's feelings."

Zhou Zheng said politely: "Hey! Then trouble Zhu Xiancheng! The old man really doesn't want to bother you and wait! ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, Lord Zhou is polite! Ha ha! Zhu Xiancheng leaned forward and said.

Not long after, the four of Luo Li, together with the nine Heishui guards outside the county government, were invited by Zhu County to the 'Baifu Inn'.

From the outside, the inn is good, and it is estimated that it should be the best inn in Ningshan County!

Walking into the inn, Zhou Zheng looked here, looked there, and asked questions about the shopkeeper's business from time to time, as if he really understood the people's feelings.

When the shopkeeper saw Zhu Xiancheng accompanied, he immediately knew that the person in front of him was an official of the mission, and answered all the questions with sincere fear.

"Lord Zhou, can you move up to the second floor to patrol the room?" Zhu Xiancheng disappeared from the tea time, suddenly appeared again, approached everyone and said.

"Good!" It's late, Zhou Zheng is already tired, and he doesn't bother to be false anymore.

When he arrived at the room on the second floor, Zhu Xiancheng beckoned everyone to go into the room alone to inspect the room, and then left under the pretext that something was wrong.

Poured on the fragrant soft bed, the wine slowly swelled up, Luo Li recalled Zhou Zheng's approach, which was not a very clever hint, it could almost be called an explicit hint.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Luo Li's thinking.

After getting up and opening the door, Zhou Zheng, whose eyes were slit, appeared at the door, carrying a box of inferior tea in his hand.

"Haha! Brother Xian hasn't slept yet, has he? This is a native product arranged by Zhu County, and I will bring it to you for my brother! Zhou Zheng stepped in and closed the door with his hand.

Luo Li pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "I'm tired of my brother!" These 'delicious' teas should be given to my brother! ”

Putting the tea on the table, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said: "Brother Xian, don't despise this box of tea, its taste is wonderful!" ”

"Wonderful? You mean......" Luo Li's eyes widened, and he walked over in two steps to open the tea box, and took out a silver ticket in the hidden mezzanine, counting a total of 15,000 taels.

"Shhh Luo Li's breathing sound is aggravated!

I didn't expect that the little Ningshan County would bribe a huge amount of silver taels.

"Take it! Tea for brother is also fifteen thousand! Zhou Zheng gave him a reassuring look, and by the way, he revealed the amount of money he received, just to dispel Luo Li's scruples.

Taking two deep breaths, Luo Li put down the silver ticket in his hand and asked, "That ......?"

"Don't worry, Gonggong Qiu, Commander Li has 10,000 people for one person!" Zhou Zheng seemed to know his problem and spoke up first.

"Got it all?" Luo Li asked.

"Take!" Zhou Zheng replied.

Take it! Now that it's all accepted, Luo Li is relieved! Anyway, it is Anguo who is corrupt, and the more corrupt the officials, the more chance Luo Guo has to complete the unification of the world.

After the two chatted a few words, Zhou Zheng turned around and left, Luo Li put the silver ticket in his arms, and fell asleep when he was drunk.

……

On the other hand, Zhu Xiancheng hurriedly returned to the county office, at this time Zhang Ling did not go back to the house to sleep, he was sitting in the public house drinking tea and waiting, but the strength of the wine was just a pretext.

"Got it all?" Zhang Ling saw the person coming, put down the teacup and hurriedly asked.

"Take! I gave the souvenir to Zhou Zheng! Zhu Xiancheng replied.

Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Lao Zhu, go back, rest early, and you have to get up early tomorrow to send them away." ”

Zhu Xiancheng bowed and said yes, and he had just taken two steps, but he turned around and asked, "Lord Zhang, I don't know something!" ”

"You want to ask why you give so much, don't you?" Zhang Ling asked indifferently.

"Yes!" Zhu Xiancheng replied.

Blowing off the oil lamp in the room and shining into the house with the white moonlight, Zhang Ling said with a calm face: "Because I believe in Zhou Zheng's words, the kid surnamed Luo is definitely capable of reaching the heavens!" ”

"Why are you so sure?" Zhu Xiancheng asked puzzled.

Zhang Ling looked up at the moon, sighed deeply, and said with a sigh: "Have you seen a deputy envoy who is less than twenty?" ”
