After a feast of wine and pleasure to the delight of the guests and hosts, Bars had no worries, and drank the drunken immortal brew with his stomach open, and finally unexpectedly fell drunk on the table, and kept muttering about another jar as he was carried away.

There were only three people left in the Accord, Cao Wei, Zhang Jincheng and Zhou Shuo, and the guys in the store came in to change the table of wine and food for the three of them very clearly, and then retreated respectfully and closed the door by the way.

Zhang Jincheng took out a small carved wooden box out of nowhere, put it in front of Cao Wei, and said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, this is Cheng Yi that the local officials of Xuanfu have given you filial piety, and please accept it with a smile." ”

Zhang Jincheng had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. Zhou Shuo couldn't help but purse his lips, his palms sweated slightly, and he stared straight at Cao Wei, wanting to see how he reacted.

Cao Wei slowly opened the carved wooden box, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, although he had already guessed that the contents were valuable, he was still shocked by Zhang Jincheng's generous hand. I saw that in addition to a thick stack of silver tickets, there were several huge pearls in the wooden box, round and round, which looked extremely pleasing.

The silver tickets are all in the denomination of 1,000 taels, Cao Wei estimated that there were 70,000 or 80,000 taels in such a stack, and his heart was happy, but his face was not visible at all, and Zhang Jincheng's heart sank.

"Two adults, don't ...... like this in the future"

"Lord Cao is really honest and honest, high-spirited and bright, and my generation is also a model, it is the lower official Meng Lang!" Zhang Jincheng stretched out his hand to get the box back, but found that the box was pressed by Cao Wei, and he couldn't hold it at all.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Zhang, what this official means is not to be so troublesome in the future, just send the silver ticket directly, and the box and pearls can be saved."

Zhang Jincheng and Zhou Shuo breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, especially Zhang Jincheng, he was even ready to get rid of Cao Wei, but when he heard Cao Wei say this, his heart was relieved, and he immediately laughed, this time he was really happy!

"What Master Cao said is that in the future, we can not have those polite and false courtesies, after all, the most important thing between people is sincerity. I, Zhang, am a rough person, and I don't understand anything else, but I know that gold and silver are the most real, and I will inevitably have a sincere relationship with Lord Cao in the future. ”

Zhou Shuo said with a smile: "Lord Cao is a saint at a young age, Jane is in the emperor's heart, this time he has made a contribution, after returning to Beijing, it is amazing, and I and General Zhang will be indispensable for your care in the future!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Cao Wei arched his hand and said: "Cao is young and has just entered the officialdom, and he will need more guidance from the two seniors in the future." It's getting late, so Cao will go back first, let's talk another day, another day......"

Cao Wei picked up the box and was about to leave, Zhang Jincheng and the two got up to see him off, and sent him to the door of the restaurant, and the two returned to Accord.

"Phew!"

Zhang Jincheng spat fiercely and said, "I thought he was so incorruptible, but I didn't expect him to be a sanctimonious hypocrite, it's really not a thing." It is because of the existence of moths like him that our Ming Dynasty will decline day by day. ”

Zhou Shuo didn't know where Zhang Jincheng got the courage to reprimand people as moths, in his opinion, Zhang Jincheng, the person who advocated selling armaments to Tatars at the beginning, was the biggest moth in the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking so in his heart, Zhou Shuo didn't dare to say it, but echoed: "What Mr. Zhang said is right, he Cao Wei is a moth, a hypocrite......

Zhang Jincheng was still a little ashamed in the end, coughed lightly twice, and said: "Okay, his greed for money is also good for us, and now he and we are grasshoppers on the same rope, we can rest assured." Without further ado, let's sell that shipment in a few days. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understood...... By the way, what should Shen Xiaoqun do? ”

Zhang Jincheng pondered for a moment and said: "He can't make any waves with a thousand households, and after Qin Cha leaves, he will find a chance to deal with him." I don't know why, every time I see him, I always have a feeling like a fish in my throat, and I can't get rid of him......"

………………………………………

As soon as Cao Wei returned to Xingyuan, Qian Ning greeted him and whispered: "My lord, Lai Si is back, saying that there is something to report to you......"

Cao Wei hurriedly entered the house, and when he walked to the door of the front hall, he saw Lai Si sitting on a chair, his face full of exhaustion, and he seemed to have lost weight after only two days of not seeing him.

Lai Si saw Cao Wei walk in, and hurriedly got up and said: "Master, our two brothers have been following Ning Wang Shizi for the past two days, there are seven or eight people in their group, they have no fixed place, they seem to be looking for something, and there are two people dressed as Taoist priests, holding a compass in their hands, as if they are looking at feng shui, we don't dare to follow too closely, so we didn't hear what they were saying." ”

Wrong! Cao Wei concluded in his heart that there must be something strange in it, and the prince of King Ning would not choose a mausoleum for his father when he came to the border thousands of miles away, and there must be something he didn't know.

"Lai Si, your brothers continue to keep an eye on them, and report their every move to the official in time, but the official wants to see what they want to do! But be careful, don't be noticed by them, if you encounter any danger, it is important to save your life, as long as your life is still there, everything can be repeated! ”

Lai Si's heart warmed, and he nodded: "Don't worry, our two brothers don't have other skills, and it's a must to escape." The mother-in-law at home is still waiting for us to go back, and our two brothers will be fine! ”

Lai Si saluted Cao Wei again, and then climbed over the wall. After a while, Shen Xiaoqun climbed over the wall and entered, stared at the box in Cao Wei's hand and said, "Lord Pacification, I heard that you have negotiated the affairs of Fang City with the Tatars today......

"Your news is really well-informed, and when the official has two letters to you, you will transfer them to Mu Shuai...... Where are your thief eyes looking, this is Zhang Jincheng bribed this official, not your share! ”

Shen Xiaoqun was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord took Zhang Jincheng's silver, how should he deal with himself?" ”

"You may not know the character of this official, but those who are familiar with this official know that this official is fair and honest, with clean sleeves and a clean breeze, and does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, so Mu Shuai often entrusts this official with important tasks.

Is the dirty silver in his hand now? No, this is evidence that Zhang Jincheng and others do have misdeeds. The reason why this official accepted this silver was to let Zhang Jincheng let down his guard, and only in this way could he capture him by surprise. ”

As for what to do with this certificate after capturing Zhang Jincheng, Lord Cao did not say, but if nothing else, it should have been stuffed into Lord Cao's pocket.

Shen Xiaoqun looked ashamed, bowed his head and said: "My lord, my subordinates thought that if you accepted a bribe from Zhang Jincheng, you would be willing to degenerate, join him in the same stream, and be a moth in the Ming Dynasty, I didn't expect you to be so high-spirited, my subordinates really admire it, no wonder Mu Shuai values you so much!" ”

"You just know it in your heart, if you find out that the official has received other people's money in the future, then there must be the official's last resort......"
