Chapter 42: Sorry for you
The three of them got up and were about to leave, but the shopkeeper of the tavern hurriedly stopped: "Three, you haven't paid for the wine yet."
"Oops. Do you still want money for alcohol? Bah, such an unpalatable wine, Brother Ji, let's go. Fan Hao pushed the shopkeeper away and scolded with a big grin.
Lu Juan led the way, and the three of them soon arrived at a pottery shop in the east of the city, and happened to meet Li Zheng who had just come out. At this time, Li Zheng weighed the money bag in his hand, his face was happy, and his eyes could not hide his greed.
"Yo, isn't this Li Zheng?" Liu Ji shouted affectionately.
"Liu Ji?" Li Zheng looked up, and when he saw someone coming, he frowned and underestimated it, and then he waved his sleeves and snorted coldly, and was about to leave with disdain.
Fan Xuan and Lu Juan were sandwiched left and right, surrounding Li Zheng, Lu Juan smiled and said, "Where are Li Lichang going?"
"Get out of the way!" Li Zheng put the money bag in his arms, looked at Lu Juan with horizontal eyes, and scolded sternly.
Liu Ji clasped his hands in front of his chest, he smiled faintly, squinted his eyes and said, "Li Lichang is here to sell porcelain."
"Liu Ji, what did you say? I don't understand! Li Zheng's heart trembled, his eyes dodged, and he denied it in a hurry.
"Huh!" Liu Ji pouted and smiled, he stepped forward and patted Li Zheng's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Li Lichang, I, Liu Ji, am not so easy to fool." Lu Xuan, you go and ask this shopkeeper. He winked at Lu Xuan.
Seeing that Lu Juan was about to enter the pottery shop, Li Zheng waved his hand in a panic, he sighed, stared at Liu Ji, and said, "What do you mean?"
"Li Lichang don't worry, with the friendship between our brothers, how can Ji go to report to the official?" Liu Ji laughed and said, "Let's go, let's find a tavern and have a few bowls." ”
"Humph!" Li Zheng snorted coldly, he had no friendship with Liu Jike. However, he couldn't help himself now, so he left with Liu Ji.
The four of them sat down in a tavern in the east of the city, Liu Ji asked for wine and food, he personally poured a bowl for Li Zheng, and said, "Come, Li Lichang, let's make a bowl first."
Liu Ji raised his head and drank it all, Li Zheng saw this, and also followed a bowl, and then he said impatiently: "Liu Ji, Liu Ji, if you have anything, just say it, I have to rush back to the pavilion."
"Come, come, come, Li Li is in a hurry, it's rare for me Liu Ji to invite you to a drink." Liu Ji poured Li Zheng full again, and said urgingly, "Dry another bowl." ”
Seeing that Li Zheng had another bowl of belly, Liu Ji glanced slightly, Lu Juan immediately understood, and also picked up the wine bowl, he smiled happily: "It's rare to see Li Lichang today, come, I, Lu Juan, also give you a bowl."
Li Zheng couldn't stand it, and after three bowls of stomach, he was a little drunk, patted the table, and shouted: "If you're okay, I, Li Zheng, will leave."
"Li Li is too careful, Ji is really fine." Liu Ji said in a condensed voice, and then he sighed again, "Ji just feels sorry for Li Lichang. ”
"Sorry?" Li Zheng drank and said sarcastically, "I still feel sorry for you Liu Ji, look at your current reputation, I'm sorry!" Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Li Zheng said openly.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Fan Xu stood up angrily, pointed at Li Zheng and shouted.
"Sit down for me!" Liu Ji glared at Fan Xu, and then laughed at himself: "Yes, I, Liu Ji, have a bad reputation, and I lost this pavilion chief." However, it's a pity that Li Lichang recommended you to take up the position of pavilion chief. ”
"What?" When Li Zheng heard this, he trembled, and half of his wine dissipated, he stared at Liu Ji, and asked with some surprise: "Are you serious?"
Liu Ji nodded and replied in a deep voice, "How could I deceive you?" If it weren't for the Yong Tooth mixing it up, Ji would have called you Pavilion Chief Li by now. ”
"Yes, if Li Lichang doesn't believe it, he can go and question Na Yongya." Lu Juan also echoed from the side.
Seeing Li Zheng's face change, Liu Ji sneered in his heart, and he continued: "I have constant conflicts with that Yongya, and he will not speak for me, you, you can go to him now."
Li Zheng also knew that Liu Ji and Yongya had a discordant relationship, and at this time Liu Ji said this, he also believed the latter. Li Zheng slammed his fist on the table, his heart was angry, this is the pavilion chief, how could he not be angry?
Liu Ji patted the money bag in Li Zheng's arms at the right time, and said with some envy and regret in his voice: "Li Zheng, if you were the pavilion chief at the beginning, wouldn't this pottery kiln be yours now?" That's a lot of money, isn't it? ”
"That's it, it's this Liu Yuan who robbed your pavilion chief." Lu Juan also said with emotion.
"Smack!" When Liu Ji and Lu Juan said this, Li Zheng's eyes were vicious, his expression was a little hideous, and he patted the table and shouted: "This pavilion chief should be my Li Zheng!" Under the influence of the strength of the wine, Li Zheng's greed rubbed against his head, and he said viciously: "This damn Liu Yuan actually robbed my pavilion chief."
"This Liu Yuan has always been cunning, and it is inevitable that the third elder will be bewitched by him." Liu Ji showed a look of pity, which made Li Zheng even more uncomfortable.
"Humph!" He snorted.
Liu Ji didn't care, but said again to himself: "If this Liu Yuan is no longer the pavilion chief, won't the third elder still have to let you replace him."
Hearing this, Li Zheng's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of it himself? Suddenly, Li Zheng seemed to think of something, the corner of his mouth sneered, and said, "Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan, don't blame me."
"What did Brother Li come up with?" Liu Ji asked.
"Some time ago, this Liu Yuan brought a person named Xiahou Ying. When I entered the city just now, I found that this Xiahou baby was very similar to the portrait on the animal skin notice posted. Li Zheng paused, his eyes were full of spicy, "Now that I think about it carefully, I can be sure that this Xiahou Ying is the person who is wanted." ”
When Liu Ji heard this, he was also overjoyed, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Okay, you Liu Yuan, hiding a fugitive is a big crime, I think you don't die?" Then he asked again, "Brother Li are sure that Xiahou Ying is the wanted person who posted it?" ”
"Not bad! This Xiahou Ying is in the kiln factory, I see him every day, how can I look away? Why, you still don't believe me? Li Zheng glared at Liu Ji and said in a low voice of displeasure.
Liu Ji laughed, he poured Li Zheng full of wine again, and said, "How can I not believe Brother Li? In this way, this matter will be handed over to Ji to do, and Brother Li will wait to be the pavilion chief. ”
When Li Zheng heard this, he groaned slightly, thinking that if he became the pavilion chief in the future, if the people knew that it was Liu Yuan who he reported, it would be for fear that his reputation would be damaged, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll leave it to you." Don't worry, if I become the pavilion chief, even if the three of you return to the Surabaya Pavilion, with me Li Zheng, you won't be able to suffer. At this time, he had already begun to win over Liu Ji.
"In the future, I will have to rely on Pavilion Chief Li to help me." Liu Ji also pretended to smile excitedly.
Then the four of them talked happily, and Li Zheng was dizzy before getting up and leaving. Seeing Li Zheng leaving, Lu Juan said in a low voice: "Brother Ji, do you really want to help Li Zheng, this kid, be the pavilion chief?" ”
"Him?" Liu Ji snorted coldly, "Bah, this idiot still wants to be the pavilion chief?" ”
