But when he saw Shen Mo and brought the guards and came over empty-handed, the faces of the Peng family's father and son were not so good-looking. The two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and at the same time looked at each other, and silently saw that Peng Mingfu was a thin old man in his fifties, with a dry goatee, a slightly hooked nose, and a pair of eyes that seemed to open and close, which seemed to be very difficult to deal with.

In contrast, his son, the current Yongshun Tusi Peng Nanyi, a rough man in his thirties, seems to have little scheming and looks like a Tujia head.

He looked at the Peng family's father and son, and the people were also looking at him, seeing that he seemed to be less than twenty years old, and he was still a hairless young man, Peng Nanyi said openly: "Why did you send a little guy over?" ”

"Hugh is rude." Peng Mingfu pretended to snort his son, and arched his hand towards Shen Mo: "I don't know what official position the adult holds?" ”

"The official is silent, and he orders the Zhejiang patrol to supervise the military road." Shen Mo naturally heard that the two of them had bad intentions, and knew that these people were typical people who ate hard rather than soft, and stepped on their noses and faces, so they decided to kill their majesty.

"Zhejiang patrol according to the superintendent of the military road?" Peng Mingfu twisted his beard and asked, "May I ask my lord, what grade of official is this?" ”

"No grade, no grade." Shen Mo smiled faintly.

The contempt on the faces of the Peng family's father and son became even more obvious, and Peng Mingfu said in a thick nasal voice: "Is there no one in the official mansion?" Let a little kid who doesn't fall into the limelight come to us. ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? We pay attention to making the best use of people, and it has always been the big people who do important things, and the small people who do small things. ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Peng Mingfu lowered his face and said: "Since the imperial court doesn't pay attention to the Tujia family so much, then we will roll up and leave." ”

Shen Mo is not humble or arrogant and smiled: "Silent is not talented, but he is also a dignified court official, there is something important to visit, but the two leaders are not even allowed to enter the door, but now they bite back, blaming the lower officials, which truth is this?" ”

Peng Nanyi patted the crimson official uniform on his body and said: "I am the Zhengsi Pin Yongshun Xuanxuan Envoy of the Qin Order, since you want to come according to the reason, why don't you kowtow to me first and then go in?" ”

Shen Mo laughed and said, "How can this be true! The local officials see that the official needs to first respectfully ask for the Holy Ann, don't they even understand this truth? ”

The father and son of the Peng family were speechless, looked at each other for a moment, and had to kneel down for him, but they were supported by Shen Mo, and said with a sincere smile on their faces: "The two generals are loyal to the country, how can Shen accept your worship?" Saying that, he took a step back and bowed deeply: "It's polite here." ”

The two of them were silent for a while, yin and yang, and they were dizzy, and they quickly returned the courtesy, and they no longer dared to underestimate him.

The father and son of the Peng family invited Shen Mo into a big tent hung with cow heads and felt blankets. The big tent is cramped, and there is a valuable red carpet directly on the dirt floor, but the corners are dirty, and there are many black spots on the surface, especially around the table, and the original pattern can hardly be seen.

The father and son of the Peng family asked to sit down silently, and under the gaze of the two of them, he sat down with a calm face, not caring at all about whether the brand-new official uniform would be soiled or not.

This action won the favor of the Peng family's father and son, and Lao Peng asked Shen Mo if he had eaten it? Shen Mo smiled: "I was about to bother." Peng Mingfu ordered the tea, and said with a smile to Shen Mo: "The custom of our Tujia people, guests don't make bud grain rice, please come to the house to drink oil tea, adults don't be surprised." ”

Shen Mo smiled happily: "If you don't drink oil tea soup for three days, you will be dizzy and panicked." ”

This is exactly what the Tujia family said, at this time, the Han people in Jiangnan rarely came into contact with the diet of ethnic minorities, and they said such an authentic statement silently, which surprised the father and son of the Peng family, Peng Nanyi asked in a voice: "The adults are also Tujia?" ”

Shen Mo said with a look of remembrance: "Eaba Abhizika." "It's a very authentic Tujia language, saying that my grandmother is a Tujia family...... Of course, this is not a lie, his grandmother in his previous life was indeed a Tujia family, and after the death of his parents, he single-handedly pulled him to grow up.

Hearing this, the father and son of the Peng family were very happy all of a sudden, they really didn't expect that at this time, when they met half of the Tujia family, they would immediately be different from Shen Mo. Peng Mingfu asked his son to serve tea in person, and he saluted Shen Mo with solemn national etiquette.

Although Shen Mo didn't know what it meant, he knew that it was right to draw a scoop with a gourd, and after solemnly greeting the old toast, the two sides immediately became close to each other, Peng Mingfu climbed Shen Mo's shoulder affectionately, and asked him if his grandmother was okay.

Silent mourning, he said, "I have passed away. Peng Mingfu asked her grandmother again which state she came from, and Shen Mo didn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise if he had a grudge with Yongshun Tusi, then he would have a lot of fun. He said vaguely, saying that his grandmother married his grandfather and moved to Jiangnan, but he never went back, only knowing that it was from Xiangxi, and he didn't know where it was.

Peng Mingfu was very sure: "It's us from Yongshun Prefecture, and it's not bad to hear your accent." ”

Silence said, 'That's not what I said. He smiled and nodded, "Then I have to call you the leader." ”

Peng Mingfu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can't do it, you can't do it." Seeing that Shen Mo had already recognized his relationship with Yongshunzhou, he instructed his son who came in with a tray: "Go and call the two ministers over and tell them that our Tujia family also has big officials in the imperial court, let them all come and meet." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not appropriate to make a noise." ”

The father and son of the Peng family thought that they had suffered the anger of the Han officials, and they understood very well: "Yes, if this secret is revealed, Lord Shen will inevitably be excluded." Lao Peng instructed Xiao Peng: "You invite them quietly." For this matter, Peng Mingfu is very persistent, and he has a bit of a treasure.

Peng Nanyi hurriedly left, Peng Mingfu beckoned Shen Mo to drink tea, he first brewed a bowl of white crane tea with boiling water, brought the steaming tea cup to Shen Mo and said, "This is called ......"

Shen Mo smiled: "Affectionate." Peng Mingfu smiled happily and drank this bowl of light and elegant first tea with him. While sipping tea, he asked, "The family doesn't talk to each other, dare to ask why Lord Shen came?" ”

Shen Mo said sincerely: "I heard that after the new governor took office, the clansmen were in a very bad situation, so I hurried from Shaoxing to see if there was anyone who could help." ”

Peng Mingfu put the tea cup on the back when he heard this, and the hot tea overflowed. I only heard him say indignantly: "You ...... Oh no, they're just too much of a bully. Then he slapped a slip in front of Shen Mo and said, "Lord Shen, look at it, this is an IOU issued by the Governor's Yamen for beheading 2,300 levels...... Not to mention these, the grain and grass that was originally delivered once every ten years have never been sent since Zhang Dashuai left. ”

"We're going to save it, and we'll have to run out of cooking in three days at most." Peng Mingfu said with a depressed face: "I can see it, the new Governor Zhou didn't treat our wolf soldiers as people, why should we fight for him?" ”

Silently smiled, picked up a large tea bowl from the tray, and scooped out a spoonful of white bubbles from a bamboo retort on the side...... The so-called bubble rice is to screen the best glutinous rice, soak it in mountain spring water for two to three days, and then steam the soaked rice with bamboo retorts, and then use a dustpan to cool and dry in the shade. Finally, it is stir-fried in a pot over a high heat...... Add a small spoonful of sugar, no spoon, no chopsticks, just put a bamboo chopstick on the bowl and serve it in front of Peng Mingfu. With a smile, he came to Lao Peng's front and said, "Dissipate your anger, what is this called?" ”

"It's fragrant." Peng Mingfu grinned, took the tea bowl, stirred it with the chopsticks, and then drank the sweet and soft 'bubble tea', his whole body felt warm and warm, and his anger disappeared a lot, and he sighed and said: "I really want to leave, but as soon as I came out, I went back, and I couldn't hold it on my face, and I was really in a dilemma." ”

Shen Mo smiled gently: "It is said that there are people in the court who are easy to do, and now that I am here, what else will the old man worry about in the future?" ”

Peng Mingfu is also an old Jianghu, it is impossible to be deceived by him like a child, he smiled and said: "It's not that I don't believe adults, but we also know that Zhou Butang is the governor of the southeast who is determined to kill and kill, can he listen to you?" ”

Shen Mo shook his head and said lightly: "The old man only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, if the governor is really so powerful, isn't that Zhang Dashuai also attacked by someone?" It can be seen that the governor's position is high and powerful, but he is not invincible in the world. As he spoke, he stretched out three fingers and said, "Don't talk about it, at least in Zhejiang, there are three of him who dare not provoke." ”

"Which three?"

"One is Zhao Wenhua, the commander of the prison army, the other is the Zhejiang Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and the other one," Shen Mo pointed to himself and said, "It's me who patrols the prison army." ”

"You have more power than him?" Peng Mingfu was incredulous.

"It's not as good as that," Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, "but we all have the power to supervise and picket, and we can go up to heaven to listen...... For example, I, the Zhejiang Patrol, has the power to 'patrol and hunt on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers of the vassal service, the prefecture and county officials will be inspected, and the impeachment will be especially specialized, and the major matters will be judged, and the small matters will be decided', do you say that he is afraid of me? "Anyway, if you brag about it, you won't pay taxes, so you will blow it to Dali.

Peng Mingfu finally smiled and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I must be very afraid." Rubbing his hands excitedly, he said, "It's just so good." ”

Before the words fell, I heard someone at the door of the account say in a deep voice in Tujia language: "What could not be better?" When I followed the prestige, I saw Peng Nanyi appearing at the door with two identical Tujia people.
