Zhang Zhongping left the Pawn Bureau, ostensibly to help Lu Kai buy Pu'er tea, but what he wanted was to quickly exchange this red pearl for money, the pearl is so beautiful and dazzling that every woman can't put it down, but she can't swallow the pearl to fill her stomach if she doesn't redeem the money.

Zhang Zhongping didn't let Lu Kaizai spend money on tea, not because he was generous, he was very slippery, and he didn't have to break the bank if he wanted tea in hand, since the Pawn Office was a place to entertain foreign guests, the library naturally prepared things for foreign guests to eat and drink, including high-grade Pu'er.

Zhang Zhongping had already made a comprehensive estimate, first exchanged the pearl for cash, and then went back to the treasury to receive Pu'er, and he could do good things for Lu without spending a penny.

Of course, Huaicai's mood was very good, and Zhang Zhongping walked like a fast horse to Zhuyuzhai.

Although Zhang Zhongping's identity is a city official, he often sits in Zhuyuzhai, and many high-ranking officials in Bei'an see that he is clever, and often let him secretly bring his subordinates to send rare treasures to Zhuyuzhai to exchange money, and he can also get some errand fees.

It's just that he hasn't been in Zhuyuzhai for a long time, Zhang Zhongping is in Zhuyuzhai today, and the lord of the house is greeted by a nobleman and smiled, "Rare guests, Brother Zhang hasn't seen him for a few days, what are you busy with?"

Zhang Zhongping laughed, "If you don't take something good to the door, I'm afraid that the guy won't even let me in."

As soon as I heard this, it was to bring good things, and the lord of the house was even more enthusiastic about Zhang Zhongping, and hurriedly invited someone to sit in the house to make tea in person, and the lord of the house was full of smiles, "Brother Zhang, what kind of family are you talking about, how can the guy recognize the profit and not recognize the person, as long as you are free, you will come, I see which one who is not long-sighted dares to stop you"

Zhang Zhongping didn't say polite words, took out the beads and pushed them in front of the lord and said, "Look at this. . . ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhongping took out the pearls, from the look of the Zhai Lord, it looked disappointed, he smiled enthusiastically, and his tone was much colder, and the Zhai Lord looked disgusted, "Brother Zhang, you are not the first time to come back here, you are saying that I am not on credit, and I also brought this thing?" Go out and turn right into the jewelry shop to collect this hairpin"

If you want to buy pearls Zhang Zhongping is to save two years' wages, but how can the city officials put their wages for two years, and he knew that there would be such a cold treatment before he came, but he couldn't help but come, credit should be a place to eat people and not spit out bones, and it doesn't cost much, and the price charged by the jewelry store is even lower.

The lord of the fast looked at him coldly, and Zhang Zhongping greeted him with a smile, "This thing is a little worse than the one I brought before, it's just that, give your lord a mouth, the beads were brought to me by Lord Shilang, and Lord Shilang didn't take things from you before."

Zhang Zhongping said this lie without blushing or panting, there is no way, if it is his own thing, the lord will definitely send him away.

The lord's face changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Yuzhai is doing a business, what kind of Zhonglang waiter, I haven't seen those things in them."

Zhang Zhongping didn't think about talking in a hurry, he took his hands and mouths on the spot to admit his mistakes, and he could only throw aside his bullshit self-esteem in order to get money, Zhang Zhongping hurriedly said, "Look at my mouth." Please forgive me and be sure to help. I didn't take half a penny back, how can I explain it"

The lord of the Zhai did not deliberately embarrass Zhang Zhongping, but he didn't accept this on weekdays, but the Lord Shilang didn't give face, and the Lord of the Zhai looked at Zhang Zhongping and asked with doubts, "This thing is really Lord Shilang?" ”

The things that the squire used to ask Zhang Zhongping to do were all carefully collected by his subordinates, and this pearl is only a few dollars?

Zhang Zhongping listened to the meaning of the Zhai master, it was a little loose, and he quickly straightened his face and said, "I don't dare to tell this lie, if I let the waiter know, I will die."

The lord nodded, believing that Zhang Zhongping would not dare to use the name of the waiter to make private profits, saying that Zhang Zhongping was a city official, if someone did not come to the door, where would he have such a thing.

Zhang Zhongping said, "How is the battle situation in front of the Zhai Lord will not know, the adults in the court have deducted from the Lu, money and food are sent to the front, how dare the people below send good things at this time, if someone knows that this is still it, how many mouths are there up and down the Shilang Mansion, and you have to eat and drink, don't worry, it's good to be in the future, as long as you can talk about peace, you can't worry about receiving good things?" ”

The lord sighed and looked at Zhang Zhongping, "Talk about peace?" Are we going to make peace with Southern Wei? ”

Zhang Zhongping nodded and smiled, "The envoys have all gone to the Pawn Office, and I was transferred to take care of the safety of the envoys, I don't believe that people will inquire."

The lord of the fast listened to Zhang Zhongping's words, and even if the envoy didn't inquire, it would spread in a few days, thinking that Zhang Zhongping didn't dare to lie about it.

The face of the lord of the fast was faster than turning the book, and he looked at Zhang Zhongping with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang can, now he can mix with the protection envoys, and the future is immeasurable."

The Lord of Fasting is serious and cares about the people's livelihood and the people's livelihood, "You can't be lazy in making it safe"

Zhang Zhongping looked humbly taught, and nodded yes again and again.

The lord of the fasting asked the man to accept the beads, and Zhang Zhongping took the money bag and said a few polite words and got up to say goodbye.

Where else can Lu expel in the Pawn Office? People sat quietly in the house, the tea was steaming white on the table, Lu Kai's index finger around the mouth of the cup did not feel the heat at all, and a figure appeared in Lu Kai's mind, the person was Shen Jiancheng, Shen Jiancheng was the prince of Jingyue, and now let the king detain him in Bei'an, and the purpose of entering the city was to take people away.

Jing Yue's current situation is internal and external troubles, Shen Jiancheng is far away from Jing Yue, Jing Yue's great Sima Shen Zhang wants to move to seize the throne, Taiwei uses all his connections to balance in Jing Yue, this is an internal trouble, and the external trouble is to negotiate peace with Northern Shu and Southern Wei, and if peace is achieved, Northern Shu will definitely send troops to Jing Yue.

It is necessary to take people away before the king of Southern Wei comes, otherwise no one will be able to return to heaven at that time.

There is one thing that Dai Qian doesn't know, in fact, Lu Kai and Shen Jiancheng have long been acquainted, before Shen Jiancheng came to Beishu as a hostage, the two met in Anxiangshan, Anxiangshan is most famous is the flying stream straight down the thousand-foot waterfall, the two of them are standing next to the deep Tan under the waterfall, Shen Jiancheng looks at the waterfall like a rushing waterfall, and the waterfall rushes down Shen Jiancheng as if he is carrying it on his shoulder.

Shen Jiancheng's waist is straight, as if supporting Jing Yue's heavy burden, "Do you know why I asked you to meet here?"

Lu Kaimo stood beside Shen Jiancheng, seemed to share the burden on his shoulders with him, and said, "I know"

Shen Jiancheng's face smiled reluctantly, "I hope we can see each other again in our lifetime"

Lu Kai looked directly at Shen Jiancheng, "I'll see you soon"

Shen Jiancheng frowned, because he heard the meaning of Lu Kai's words, "You are smart and you are also a person, I don't want you to risk your life for me, I am saying that I am going to be a hostage, not to go to the execution ground to kill my head, the King of Shu will not embarrass me, he wishes I would live well"

Lu Kai was really in no mood to laugh, "In my opinion, going to Beishu as a hostage is no different from rushing to the execution ground?" ”

Shen Jiancheng's eyes gradually turned red, and he smiled in tears, "You just don't like to say what I like to hear, I'm just going to live in another place, so if you can keep Jing Yue, it's worth it"

Lu Kai didn't think like this, and said bluntly, "It's not worth it, even if it's a quality, it can only be kept for a while."

How could Shen Jiancheng not know that "he can protect for a while, and do his best to obey the destiny of heaven"

Lu Kaidao, "Your trip to Jingyue is to be subject to Beishu, and at the same time, it is also a chance for Da Sima to lay out"

Shen Jiancheng looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly: "What if you don't go?" is saying that Shen Zhang is my uncle, and if he is on the top, he will not fall into the hands of outsiders."

"How can you think that! It's not the same thing at all! Lu Kai suddenly became angry, and quickly calmed down again, "I don't have any way now, I know that I will persuade you to go, I always advised you to drink less before, this time I went to Beishu and hoped that you could let go of drinking"

Shen Jiancheng smiled: "Let go and drink?" ”

Lu Kaidao "Indulge in wine, the King of Shu will rest assured of you"

Shen Jiancheng only now understood what Lu Kai meant: "You want the King of Shu to relax his vigilance against me?" ”

"Yes"

Shen Jiancheng said, "What's the point? If I flee, the King of Shu will definitely make a big move against Jing Yue in anger, and dispel your unrealistic ideas, I tell you so, even if you have the ability to save me, I will not go with you, because I can't abandon the safety of the people of Jing Yue."

Shen Jiancheng's last sentence was that he couldn't go with him, and Lu Kai was most worried about this sentence, but now the situation was different from when Shen Jiancheng came over, and Lu Kai believed that he could convince Shen Jiancheng.
