Chapter 44: Fooling the Eunuch
"I don't know where I went, so I didn't come to see us!" After saying this, Chen Qing looked at Liu Zheng again and said, "Master Liu, do you know where Lord Yu went?" ”
"Liu Ye really doesn't dare to be called this title!" Liu Zheng arched his hand and said: "Also, Gonggong Chen, this Qingzhou City will not change its master at any time, and all the places in the world are surnamed Zhu!" ”
Chen Qing hummed lightly and said: "He is an understanding person, but he is not very shrewd when he does things!" ”
Chen Qing dared to talk to Liu Zheng like this, not because he was stupid and bold, nor because he had something wrong with his brain, but because he had inquired about the situation in Qingzhou City in advance, Liu Zheng did the business of killing the head, but he insisted on keeping Wang Jiabin, why is this? In Chen Qing's eyes, this means that he Liu Zheng doesn't want to tear his face with the court, or he Liu Zheng doesn't have the courage to tear his face with the court, the reason why he made Qingzhou City like this should be to seek wealth, as the saying goes, people in this world who sacrifice their lives and forget to die for money are really like carp crossing the river.

Liu Zheng smiled, and did not answer Chen Qing's words, but continued with the previous sentence: "Lord Yu has been unwell recently, and he is not suitable to see a poor person in bed!" The subordinate generation of Lord Yu accompanies the lord on the errand! ”
After saying this, Liu Zheng continued: "Now that it is almost noon, my subordinates have set up a banquet in the Drunken Immortal Residence, washed the dust for Gonggong Chen, and I hope that Gonggong Chen will have a face!" ”
Chen Qing looked at the sky outside the window, and was happy in his heart, he was also a good person, looking at Liu Zheng talking such serious nonsense, how could he not know what Liu Zheng was going to do?
So he stood up and swept the satin clothes on his body twice and said: "That's right, we also feel hungry, and I have followed my godfather to the mountain (anti-harmony) for almost a year, in addition to being busy, I don't have to be idle, now that I am in Qingzhou, Liu Ye, you have to let us take a good look at the scenery of Qingzhou!" ”
The scenery of Qingzhou, the scenery of Qingzhou, Liu Zheng naturally understood the meaning of Chen Qing's words.
"Grandpa Chen, then let's go to the Drunken Immortal Residence first, and talk while eating!"
After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he led Chen Qing out, Wang Jiabin, who was sitting in the first place, didn't even look at it, Wang Jiabin didn't pay attention to himself when he saw the two of them walking out, and he didn't say a word, just watched the two of them walk out of the back hall silently with a calm face.
Outside, Wei Boyuan saw Liu Zheng and a man with a white face and beard walking out, and knew that this person should be someone sent by Chen Zeng, so he didn't speak, and silently followed Liu Zheng's footsteps.
Now this Qingzhou City, there are two worlds inside and outside the city, the world outside the city is busy, full and full of vitality, the city is depressed and dead, there is such a situation, it is all Liu Zheng's food substitution, more than half of the people in the city have sent their children, and those who sent their sons are good to say, they have basically returned home, and their families know their situation, and most of them are very happy in their hearts, but those who can send their daughters......
Drunken Xianju is Liu Zheng's industry, of course, this is nonsense, and now the restaurants, teahouses, grain shops, cloth shops, money houses, and pawn shops in Qingzhou City are all in Liu Zheng's hands.
A while ago, when the merchants in Yangzhou came to sell grain, the shops in the city were prosperous for a while, but when the merchants left, the business became deserted again.
When Liu Zheng and Chen Qing and their entourage arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence, Xiao Er of the Drunken Immortal Residence was sleeping on the table, and when he heard the sound of footsteps colliding with the nail leaves, he woke up violently, and saw Liu Zheng among the leaders, and the second child hurriedly came to Liu Zheng to give a salute.
Liu Zheng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to follow, go and ask the kitchen to make a table of specialty dishes!" ”
"Alas, okay, the little one is going here, you two upstairs, please!"
Xiao Er turned around and left, Liu Zheng looked at Chen Qing with a smile and said, "Gonggong Chen, please upstairs!" ”
Chen Qing nodded and walked up to the second floor, and Liu Zheng followed his footsteps and walked upstairs, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Wei Boyuan say: "Don't follow a few people, let's dine below!" ”
Liu Zheng and Chen Qing looked back and found that Weibo Weibo Yuan was holding a copper hammer with his arm crosswise to block the four soldiers brought by Chen Qing, and the four soldiers were glaring at Wei Boyuan with angry faces.
Chen Qing looked at Liu Zheng with an unhappy face and said, "Master Liu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Old Man Wei is afraid that too many people will bypass our purity!" ”
Chen Qing snorted and said, "We just like to be lively!" ”
Liu Zheng smiled in his heart, and didn't point out what Chen Qing was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Old Man Wei, you can also come up and eat some together, always eat in the camp, although there are fish and meat, but it can't compare to the food of this drunken immortal residence!" After saying this, Liu Zheng made a gesture of invitation to Chen Qing.
Wei Boyuan nodded and didn't speak, gently put down the copper hammer that blocked the way, and the four soldiers snorted and took the lead to go upstairs, Wei Boyuan laughed contemptuously in his heart, and then followed upstairs.
Liu Zheng is very familiar with this place, and when he came to the second floor, he led Chen Qing to the best private room, and when he entered the private room, Liu Zheng invited Chen Qing to the main seat, and sat in the position of accompanying guests, Wei Boyuan silently followed Liu Zheng's hand, Chen Qing saw that Wei Boyuan actually sat down, looked at Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
"Father-in-law Chen, this is Datong Haojie Wei Boyuan, a subordinate guest, in front of Old Man Wei, his subordinates also have to be called a little nephew!"
Chen Qing stopped talking when he was happy, and turned his eyes to the four people standing beside him, Liu Zheng was also looking at these four people, most of the armor they wore was made of bronze, and at a glance, he knew that it was not something that ordinary people could wear, and then he looked at his arrogant expression, and he knew that the identities of these four people were definitely not ordinary.
Liu Zheng hugged his fists and said, "I don't know where a few of them are working!" ”
Chen Qing said proudly: "These four are all Han generals!" ”
Liu Zheng was slightly startled, turned his head to look at Wei Boyuan, and found that Wei Boyuan's face had not changed much as usual, Wei Boyuan saw Liu Zheng's inquiring eyes, and nodded silently.
Liu Zheng's heart turned, General Han, the real person around the emperor, Chen Qing, the eunuch, actually brought four Han generals over, and after thinking about it a little, Liu Zheng understood, this Han general sent to Chen Zeng, eighty percent of it was used to wake up the officials below, and the meaning was obvious that this Chen Zeng was my person, and he was doing things for me, and Chen Zeng asked Chen Qing to bring the Han general to this is also the meaning.
Thinking about this, Liu Zheng hugged his fists again and said: "I was sluggish before, I hope that a few generals will atone for their sins, please sit, please sit!" ”
A few people snorted and sat down, as soon as these people took their seats, they saw the shopkeeper come in with tea: "Little old man......"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down, you don't need to serve here!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly answered, set up the tea and retreated, and when the shopkeeper withdrew, Liu Zheng spoke again: "Father-in-law Chen, what is the explanation for coming to Chen's husband this time?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Qing straightened up and said: "Presumably Master Liu, you also know that our godfather is doing errands for the emperor, but this is not only our godfather who is doing errands for the emperor, this is at the root of the year, the errand assigned by the emperor has not been done well, and our godfather is so worried that he can't eat and sleep!" After saying this, he glanced at Liu Zheng.
The errand assigned by the emperor, what errand? Liu Zheng was happy in his heart, and he didn't come here to make money for the emperor!
Liu Zheng pretended not to know, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Father-in-law Chen, I don't know if it is convenient for Chen's husband to let me know about the errand he did for the emperor?" If you can help, Liu will never shirk anything! ”
Chen Qing said with joy on his face: "Okay, Liu Ye is really a cheerful person, and our family is willing to make friends with people like Liu Ye!" ”
Liu Zheng pretended to be happy and said: "Father-in-law Chen, if you can use Liu, even if you send it, even if Liu sells his property, he has to give it to you and Husband Chen!" ”
Chen Qing laughed and said: "Okay, good, we really didn't see the wrong person, since Liu Ye is so refreshing, we are not hypocritical people, let me tell you this, although the current saint is not said to be the first emperor of the ages, he is also the holy monarch of the Ming Dynasty, Pingxi Xia conquered Goryeo, that matter is not famous in history?" But you have to ask for silver for this errand, the old men in the household department have run away from the treasury, and they are still asking the emperor for money, and this money is about to be spent by the old men in the court, so our godfather is to get silver for the emperor! ”
"Silver?" Liu Zheng pretended to be surprised and said, "The emperor is still short of silver?" Isn't the world all the emperor's old man's family? How can there be a shortage of silver? ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Qing snorted and laughed, secretly disdainful in his heart, this hillbilly is a hillbilly who doesn't understand anything.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Liu is a mud leg in the countryside, he has never seen the world, Chen Gonggong doesn't want to laugh at Liu!" ”
Chen Qing laughed for a while before saying, "Don't laugh, don't laugh!" ”
Taking advantage of this good atmosphere, Liu Zheng said the words of giving silver: "I don't know how many vacancies there are in Chen's husband?" Liu is willing to do his best for Chen's husband! ”
As soon as Chen Qing heard Liu Zheng talk about this, his eyes rolled and said: "It's still missing, three, no, fifty thousand taels!" As long as Liu Ye can come up with 50,000 taels of silver, we will give you credit from the godfather, and the godfather will definitely not treat you badly! ”
After saying this, Chen Qing kept staring at Liu Zheng's face, seeing that Liu Zheng was a little surprised, then showed a look of embarrassment, followed by a gritted tooth look, as if he was secretly making a decision, just when Chen Qing wanted to work harder, agitating and encouraging Liu Zheng to take out the silver, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Er walked in with a wooden tray, with a large plate of meat on the tray and a pot of stewed chicken.
Xiao Er smiled and said: "Uncles, this is the secret donkey meat made by the small shop, and this pot is the stewed pheasant of the small shop, which is made of secret recipes that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and several masters use it slowly!" After saying that, Xiao Er withdrew.
Liu Zheng glanced at Chen Qing faintly, saw that Chen Qing had a slightly angry expression on his face, smiled coldly in his heart, and then made a gritted tooth expression and slapped the table hard.
