Ding Li's eyes narrowed, Shi Shiran stood up, and arched his hand at the few big men standing at the door: "General Lu, the commander of Youzhou? ”

Lu Peng dropped the doorman who was already angry in his hand, and arched his hand in a fake way: "It is the lower official, who took the liberty to visit, and it is really a sin to disturb the conversation between the two of them." ”

said that he was guilty, but he didn't mean to make amends, so he strode directly into the room, sat in front of the brazier, stretched out his hands and roasted on the brazier, and then picked up the warm wine on the brazier by himself, and took a mouthful of it directly: "Yes, it is now the world-famous Moutai, and it tastes like a pot for a thousand dollars." Then he squinted his eyes at Ding Li, and crooked his mouth defiantly: "I didn't expect Steward Ding to enjoy it." ”

At this time, Ding Li smiled and said: "As far as I know, every time I drink a pot of wine, I will give you an income of 800 yuan, so that I enjoy it here every day, but in fact, I don't give you a profit?" ”

Such an answer made Lu Peng feel speechless at that time.

"When I came in, my fourth brother killed the evil slave in front of your door, don't you really think we should fight to the death?"

As a result, when Lu Peng said this, this Ding Li actually bent down again and poured a glass of wine for Lu Peng, and then glanced at the angry Zhao Yun behind Lu Peng: "My house slave was killed by the general's subordinates, there must be a reason why he was killed, this is all my powerlessness, and it has nothing to do with the general and your brother, my subordinates are indeed evil." Then he shook his head gently, as if he was helpless about this matter: "To get a lesson from you and your fourth brother, they also deserve it, who is to blame?" I'm just a subordinate faction, and I can't help it. ”

In the face of such a gentle and very simple person, Lu Peng really has no way to deal with him.

Ding Li pointed to the trembling salt supervisor opposite: "I'm just a dog sent here by the Ding family, and everything is indeed done by this salt supervisor." Then Shi Shiran poured himself a cup of tea and soup: "You have to go and tell him everything, I am really innocent." ”

For this kind of person who has a good reason and pushes cleanly, Lu Peng really has no way to say anything to him, so he looks at the salt prison.

As a result, this salt supervisor was also stubborn, and he knelt on the ground at that time, and kowtowed to Lu Peng again and again: "Lord Duwei, I am a dignified official of the five-rank imperial court, but I was just coerced, spare my life." ”

is the so-called raising of hands and not hitting smiling people, these two people are very active, and it really makes Lu Peng unable to start. So Lu Peng thought about it and said to Ding Li: "Ten thousand salt households want to eat and drink." ”

Ding Li immediately raised his hand to interrupt Lu Peng's words: "I already know the suffering of the salt households, I really can't manage my evil slaves, fortunately, I have a merciful heart, I just asked for two thousand quintals of grain in the family, I will open the door now to help these salt households, of course, I will not come forward, all this is the grace of your General Lu." What do you think is good? ”

When Lu Peng came in, he wanted to cut this Ding Li with a knife, but he pushed out a five-grade official of the imperial court as a shield, and he was not soft on everyone's clan, but now he killed a court official, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

Lu Peng tilted his neck and squinted at this Ding Li's neck, Ding Li even tilted his neck arrogantly, tilted his head to look at Lu Peng, in fact, this is a kind of willpower shouting, to see who can overpower the other party in momentum.

Ding Li straightened his waist respectfully and saluted Lu Peng: "Now in my courtyard, there are 3,000 stones of grain and some money and cloth, and I will hand it all over to the general now and let the general arrange it." Then he pushed the glass of wine in his hand directly to Lu Peng: "Including this cup of wine, if it can keep a common person out of the cold, it is exactly what I want." ”

That expression couldn't be more sincere, all of which made people doubt that he was indeed a decent gentleman.

Ding Li stood up and said to the salt supervisor beside him: "Be kind to the salt farmers under us, and be kind to all the people we see, this is what I want to do sincerely." Then he said to Lu Peng sternly: "Now, I will fully cooperate with your actions." "Give a deep salute.

Lu Peng watched Ding Li's performance, but the killing intent in his heart became stronger and stronger.

This is a cunning and able to bend and stretch, this kind of person is very scary, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, that is a must.

But Zhao Yun beside him pulled the corner of his robe, and his eyes were full of unbearable. In Zhao Yun's view, a person who has been soft and actively corrects his misalignment needs to be given a chance to correct it, and he is not a person who likes to beat the water dogs.

"Okay, okay, you're my fourth brother, I really can't do anything about a rotten good person like you." Lu Peng could only give up, stood up and walked out, and then turned his head to Zhao Yun and said, "I hope to be merciful to your rotten good people, you won't regret it." ”

When he said this, Lu Peng had already walked to the top of the steps, looked at this luxurious house, looked at the clear sky, and gently patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder: "I dare to guarantee that the guy just now is definitely a poisonous snake, and you will pay the price for the rotten good person you just now, but I am your brother, I need to tolerate what you say, I hope this is a lesson for you." ”

Zhao Yun was a little unimpressed by Lu Peng's words, because in his simple mind, integrity comes first, and this integrity, even if it comes from the mouth of a thief, should be promised, how did he know that this world is too unreliable, if there is integrity in this world, he will not be coerced into Lu Peng's arms.

Ding Li stood in front of the gate and shouted loudly to the nearly 100 subordinates he had just poured in: "Hurry up and disperse the grain we just transported to our brother salt households, and immediately set up a cauldron in the square and start boiling porridge." ”

After observing the surroundings, there were thoughtful instructions: "Everyone must pay attention, first give these salt brothers, whether they are men, women, old or young, only one bowl per person." If anyone dares to take an extra bowl, they will be killed on the spot. ”

For such an arrangement, Zhao Yun was simply inexplicable, but when he was about to reprimand angrily, Ding Li explained with a smile: "With such an arrangement, General Lu thinks that I am treating the salt households harshly, but in fact, I am treating them well. ”

Zhao Yun and Lu Peng looked at him suspiciously at that time, waiting for his next step.

Ding Li smiled and poured a glass of warm wine for Lu Peng, and then raised his glass to Zhao Yun and compared: "General, can you take a sip?" ”

Zhao Yun turned his head directly to look away.

Ding Li took a sip of wine and said: "Those salt farmers outside have been hungry for a long time, and their stomachs are no longer suitable for a full meal. ”
