Chapter 84 Dock Event

This letter was opened and read, but of course Lu Qing hadn't read it, and both of them looked at Zhou Ning with confusion and curiosity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Those who have read it know that the content of the letter is not excessive, and they don't understand why Zhou Ning brought out obvious anger after reading it.

What was written in the speculation letter that I hadn't read, could it be that Qin Jin had already provoked Zhou Ning clearly? Otherwise, why did Zhou Ning say 'accompany him to the end'?

"What's so hard to guess about his little bit of fancy intestines?" Zhou Ning casually put the letter on the stone table: "Yesterday I sent an official document to let me go to the Changting to pick him up, I thought he wanted to put up a score in the Changting, and I knew that he would not go to the Changting when I received his first letter this morning." ”

"How do you know?" Lin Zhutou was very puzzled, the letter clearly said that Lord Yushi would arrive soon, and asked Zhou Ning to wait for a while, Zhou Ning turned around and left at that time, making Lin Zhutou wait for a day in vain. How did he know that Goshi wouldn't go to the Long Pavilion?

"If he is really slow, he will definitely not give me news, let me tug at his intestines and wait for him to be happy. He was afraid that I would not wait for him when the hour came, so he sent a letter. In this way, it would be rude for me not to wait for him, so I can only defend in the long pavilion. He was afraid that I would leave halfway, so he would definitely send someone over from time to time to see if there were any people in the long pavilion. It wasn't until he felt that he was almost playing me that he would send him the real news. ”

"Oh" Lin Zhutou nodded knowingly: "It turns out that his purpose is to entertain you for a day, so that you can drink the wind and bask in the sun in the long pavilion?" ”

"Hmm" Zhou Ning nodded without guilt, completely ignoring Lin Zhutou's feelings.

Lin Zhutou's expression was like a mouth full of yellow lotus, feeling that others entertain you, you will come to entertain me? Is the errand so unlucky?

Zhou Ning has no choice, the so-called dead friends don't die poor. He didn't want to be there, so he had to find someone to carry it for him, and the errand guy was so unlucky.

"Childe, there's another letter here." Lu Qing handed over the letter sent by Gaobei County, Zhou Ning took the letter and looked at the cover, took out the letter and read it.

Zhang Xianling first said a few words, and then told Zhou Ning two things. One is that Zhou Ning mentioned to him last time that he should go back and check if there are any people who sell a large number of reed mats in Gaobei County, and he has already checked.

No one in Gaobei County sold a large number of reed mats, but there was also a day when all the reed mats were sold short, and the time was about the same as that of Yunjiang County, and Zhang County Ling said that he would continue to track it down.

Another thing is that Lord Cheng Qin has been to Gaobei County in the imperial history, and Lord Qin inquired about the situation in Yunjiang County, and Zhang Zhixian said that he didn't know how the neighboring counties were.

Zhang Zhixian nodded at Zhou Ning very secretly, meaning to tell him that Qin Jin intended to target him and let him deal with it carefully, and also told him some of Qin Jin's preferences, and told Zhou Ning to do what he liked.

Zhang Zhixian's trial may not be as good as Zhou Ning's, and the officialdom is much more sophisticated than Zhou Ning's. Zhou Ning knew that Zhang Zhixian had good intentions, but he didn't take his words to heart at all.

It's not that Zhou Ning doesn't know how to advance and retreat, Zhou Ning is also a person who can bend and stretch, but he knows in his heart that he and Qin Jin can't take a step back in exchange for a wide sky.

Some relationships can be alleviated by courtesy, and some can't be alleviated anyway. Some resentment can be diluted over time, while others can only deepen over time.

Zhou Ning gently put the letter from Gaobei County on the table, and his thoughts quietly drifted away, and the unhappiness in the capital spread to his heart like maggots attached to the bones.

"Change clothes, prepare the sedan car." Zhou Ning issued two orders in four simple words, Lu Qing grabbed the letter on the table and ran into the bedroom, he had to hurry up to prepare clothes for Zhou Ning.

Lin Zhutou turned his head and ran out, he had to hurry up and prepare an official sedan chair for Zhou Ning.

Qin Jin's last letter to Changting said that the carriage and horses were too slow, and he had abandoned the land route and took the water route, so he asked Zhou Ning to pick him up at the dock.

Zhou Ning knew that Qin Jin did not take the land route at all, and Zhang Zhixian's letter just confirmed Zhou Ning's estimation that he took a boat from Gaobei County.

According to the time, he should have arrived around noon, and he waited until it was almost dark before letting Zhou Ning pass, presumably to let Zhou Ning enjoy the scorching northwest bath in the long pavilion.

Zhou Ning sat in an official sedan chair and headed towards the wharf, and there was still a long distance from the wharf to see that the wharf was very lively, and many official ships gathered on the river.

The double-decker boat in the center stands out, with long strings of red lanterns hanging around it, which shine in the gauzy night.

When the official sedan chair got closer, I heard the sound of singing and dancing on the river, and this frame was clearly to hold a night banquet at the pier.

In Yunjiang County, he summoned nearby officials to come over for a big party, but he didn't even notify Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning, who is the county magistrate of Yunjiang County, only found out when he arrived at the dock, and Zhou Ning seemed a little late in this team of officials with a nose that was more intelligent than a dog.

Qin Jin deliberately created this embarrassment for Zhou Ning, he paid for a night banquet at the dock in Yunjiang County, and the villains who tended to be inflammatory, circled around him like flies.

And this group of flies, except for the prefect is the prefect, and any one of them is much bigger than the magistrate of the county. Qin Jin just wanted Zhou Ning to see the picture of him being surrounded by flies.

In his opinion, this is called the stars holding the moon, he is undoubtedly the brightest 'moon', and the smallest 'stars' around him are all higher than Zhou Ning's grade.

He was lively and lively on his side and Zhou was alone here, so the comparison made Zhou Ning ashamed of himself.

As long as he gives a little guidance, someone will follow and ridicule Zhou Ning. He knew that Zhou Ning had an excellent face, and he didn't mean anything else today, he just wanted to get along with Zhou Ning's face.

When he arrived at the wharf, Zhou Ning got off the sedan chair and walked to the shore. There were many soldiers guarding the shore, and when they saw Zhou Ning wearing an official uniform, they knew that it was Lord Zhou who had arrived from Yunjiang County.

The two messengers greeted him and looked at Zhou Ning respectfully: "The villain was ordered to come to greet Lord Zhou." ”

Zhou Ning looked up at the river, and could see a lot of dancing girls dancing on the painting boat, and many men on the side were drinking with delicate girls in their arms.

After a closer look, the scene was very grand, with the boat as the center, and the boats around it should have their own duties, including those who were responsible for serving food, those who were responsible for keeping costumes and props for the kabuki, and the bands that accompanied the dancers and courtesans in the boat.

"On whose orders?" Zhou Ning didn't know what kind of Hongmen banquet was in front of him, but he knew that he had no way out.

The two soldiers glanced at each other and replied honestly: "On the orders of Lord Cheng in the Imperial History, please come to the painting boat to meet." ”
