The guys came in with plates, each with three plates of identical dishes.

Li Feibai felt that if he put these dishes on his table, even if he didn't taste them with chopsticks, it would be disrespectful to other people. didn't let the guy put the dishes on his table, but picked four cold, four hot and eight dishes, and said, "Brother Ma, these dishes are enough for us to eat, how about putting the rest directly on other tables!" ”

Ma Kun, as the leader of the government service, has a lot of fish and meat every day, and he has long been tired of eating these dishes, so he has no objection. He said to the fellows, "Just do as my brother says!" Then the jar of wine was opened, and the two of them drank a bowl each, and then Mao Qing hurriedly entered the house.

Ma Kun raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you come after half an hour?" ”

Mao Qing returned the waist card and said: "I went to the yamen, and almost all the forbidden sons of the yamen went home to rest, so the people who stayed in the yamen hurriedly called, and then went to the city gate to invite archers." When I came back, I didn't dare to go upstairs directly, but stood at the door and waited, waiting for someone to come almost before I came to talk to my uncle and the shopkeeper! ”

Ma Kun raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone is here?" ”

Mao Qingdao said: "Those who can come are here, but those who can't get out of their bodies don't come." ”

Ma Kun said: "How many people came?" ”

Mao Qingdao said: "Two hundred." ”

Ma Kun said: "That's it! He turned his head to Li Feibai and said, "Brother Li, let's go meet them?" ”

Li Feibai nodded. The two of them left their seats together and walked out of the door, and when they stood down the corridor, they saw the black head below. Some of them are of legitimate value and wear poor clothes. Some came from home, wearing regular clothes, and when they saw Ma Kun coming out, they arched their hands and said, "Salute the leader of the horse!" ”

Ma Kun arched his hand and said: "Hello brothers! I thank you for your help yesterday, and today my nephew Mao Qing invited me to dinner, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and invited my brothers to drink. Brothers won't blame me for not spending money, don't you count this time! ”

The people standing below said, "No! The nephew of the leader of the horse invited a treat, which was no different from the invitation of the leader of the horse. ”

Mao Qing stood up at the right time and said, "Little brother Mao Qing, now the tooth shop is doing the economy." If there is anything wrong in the future, I hope that my brothers will raise their noble hands. ”

The people below said: "Brother Mao is polite!" You are the nephew of the horse chief, how dare we offend! ”

Ma Kun pointed at Li Feibai and said, "This is Li Feibai, my brother." Although he is not a brother, he is closer than a brother! Speaking of this, his smiling face suddenly became murderous, "You will all show me the tricks in the future, who dares to offend my Li family brothers, don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless!" That's why he said this, he was completely frightened by Zhao Jian's fate today. It stands to reason that although Zhao Jian collects taxes for the county, he actually makes money for Zhao Xuefei, and when it comes to intimacy, he is a few points closer than him. Just because he offended Li Feibai, he said that he was taken to prison. He was only afraid that his subordinates would poke out some basket and affect him. As for why he didn't say that Li Feibai was Zhao Xuefei's friend, it was because Li Feibai had not yet gone to the yamen to meet Zhao Xuefei, and there might still be changes in the middle, so he didn't say it.

The people below said: "Since he is the brother of the leader of the horse, he is also our leader, how dare he provoke him." ”

Ma Kun smiled: "I won't say much, so as not to delay the brothers to drink." With that, the three of them went back to the house to drink and eat.

After eating for half an hour, Li Fei was full of white wine and food, and said goodbye and left. Mao Qing got up to send him off, Ma Kun stayed alone in the room and closed his eyes to meditate, and after a while, he got up and went out, and called the head of the big and small teams of the fast step, the big and small team of the horses, and the head of the four archers to the room. More than a dozen people stood in the room, looking at Ma Kun, who was drinking alone, and didn't know what was going on.

Ma Kun drank two more glasses and said, "You may have received the news that in the spring of next year, the big and small masters in the province will come to our county to worship and ask for rain." ”

Some of the people standing in the room had heard the rumors and some had not, but they all nodded their heads.

Ma Kun said: "The county commander is afraid that I will be blamed for the errand of not being able to do a good job in public order at that time, so I discussed with Wang Wu and will perform a play in Jiyuan City tomorrow, called the big thief and giant Kou to make trouble in Jiyuan, to see if I have the ability to handle this matter well." If it's handled well, let me be the head of this bureaucracy. If it is not handled well, another sage will be selected. That Li Feibai just now, do you know who it is? He is a friend of the prefectural magistrate, and he came to tell me the news today. For the sake of my future, I want to ask you brothers to help me sing well. ”

Everyone said, "If there is anything wrong with the leader of the horse, please give me orders." ”

Ma Kun said: "After nightfall tomorrow, please ask the head of the archer squad to close the four city gates tightly, and don't let anyone go out." ”

The head of the archer squad said: "Leader Ma, don't worry, you will not let anyone go out at that time, so that you can catch all the big thieves and giants." ”

Ma Kun said: "Thank you. He also said to the head of the official team: "According to Li Feibai, the location of Wang Wu's incident is in his stone carving shop. You brought all the people and surrounded me with the Li Ji stone carvings as early as possible. Not only did they have to be surrounded by iron buckets, but they also had to be hidden so that Wang Wu would find out. Wait for Wang Wu's people to go to the Li Ji stone carving shop to ambush, and you will keep an eye on me quietly. Once Wang Wu entered the Li Ji stone carving shop, he quietly arrested all the people who were lying in ambush in the stone carving shop, so that no one could escape. ”

The leaders of the official team said: "Please rest assured, the chief, we will not let anyone escape." ”

Ma Kun Zhengse said: "I know that many of you are good friends with Wang Wu. But I implore you not to tell Wang Wu about it. Once Wang Wu knows, the county magistrate will definitely blame me for cheating, and I am afraid that he will take down me as the leader immediately. At that time, don't blame me for not being emotional, before I can't be the head of the government, I will do everything I can to make you unable to do the team leader. Hello me, everyone. I'm unlucky, and everyone is unlucky. ”

Everyone's hearts were all in shock, and they bowed their heads and said, "Leader Ma, rest assured, we will not show the news." ”

Ma Kun breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay! As long as I can keep the errand of this leader of mine, after the deed is completed, everyone's benefits will be indispensable. At the very least, a big drunk is inevitable? ”

Everyone laughed and said, "Thank you, Leader Ma!" ”

Ma Kun waved his hand and asked the team leaders to go out and continue drinking. After the team leaders were all gone, he nodded with satisfaction, believing that with this combination of grace and power, no one would report to Wang Wu.

That night, in the lobby of Wang Wu's house, several of Wang Wu's right-hand men also sat around the table, eating meat and drinking wine. Qin Meng was mixed in, eating more and drinking more fiercely than the others.

Wang Wu sat in the middle but had no intention of eating or drinking, frowning and thinking about his thoughts. He just received the news that Mao Qing is Ma Kun's nephew.

Wang Wu was not surprised by this news. Jiyuan City is too small, and ten people are stoned, and two or three of them must be relatives. What surprised him was that under Ma Kun's arrangement, Mao Qing was inviting Li Feibai to drink in Tianxiang Building. Now, he knows exactly that if he wants to deal with Li Feibai, he may not be able to use only Wen Zheng.

In the afternoon, Zhao Jian went to collect taxes and confiscate his success, and when he returned to the yamen, he was imprisoned by Zhao Xuefei, he was already very surprised, and then he realized that it might not work to deal with Li Feibai by only using Wenzheng. He was extremely distressed, what is Li Feibai's background, why did Zhao Jian provoke him, the county order had to sell his face, and put Zhao Jian in prison. It wasn't until later, after getting the news that he was comprehensive, that he was no longer distressed. It turned out that when Zhao Jian went to collect taxes, he happened to run into Lin Zhiyuan. Zhao Jian was disrespectful to Lin Zhiyuan, which made Lin Zhiyuan angry, and he wanted to go to Zhao Jian and Zhao Xuefei. He thought that maybe Zhao Xuefei put Zhao Jian in prison in order to appease Lin Zhiyuan's anger. As for Li Feibai, he actually has no background, just because he is too lucky.
