Li Dingguo was a little depressed, he didn't expect Zhu Yan to be as strong as he imagined, and he wanted to point the tip of the gun at her throat, but fortunately, he threw it back temporarily, otherwise the scene would be even more ugly, and in the face of Lu Haoshan's accusation, he didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

"My lord, please don't blame Li Qianhu" Zhu Rushan on the side immediately spoke: "The little girl usually has no one in her eyes, but this time she just let her know how high the sky is and how thick the place is." ”

Old Man Zhu also smiled and said: "Exactly, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, Li Qianhu is brave and fierce, and his martial arts are exquisite, which is really admirable. ”

Lu Haoshan laughed, arched his hand to Old Man Zhu and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then disturb Old Man Zhu." ”

"Don't dare to be, my lord, please here." Zhu Rushan immediately greeted him in front.

After a contest, both sides consciously no longer mentioned the matter of victory or defeat, but discussed some more relaxed topics, and then frequently raised their glasses, until more than an hour later, Lu Haoshan and Li Dingguo, with the support of their subordinates, got into the carriage with some stagger, and rushed forward under the farewell of the main figures of the Zhu family.

During the banquet, the two sides did not talk about further cooperation, but before leaving, Old Man Zhu meaningfully asked Li Dingguo to sit in Yunyun more freely.

Obviously, Li Dingguo's appearance has touched the hearts of the Zhu family, looking at the old man Zhu's eyes like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, Lu Haoshan seems to see Li Dingguo wearing a groom's outfit through two black lacquered gates.

In ancient times, the interests of the family were more important than a qiē, the ancients attached great importance to the bloodline, there was a distinction between primary and secondary, the main house was located in the upper layer of the family, and the side room was located in the lower layer of the family, which was the same as the son of man, and there were also descendants and concubines. As for the daughter, in the era of the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker, the daughter is usually a tool for the family's external friendship and a victim of interests.

Li Dingguo is dignified and has an unlimited future, and he is still an important figure in the military power, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, not to mention that both parents in the family are dead. If he becomes a son-in-law and leans closer to the Zhu family, can Old Man Zhu be dissatisfied?

It means that it is a hit-and-match.

"My lord, where are we going now?" Li Dingguo drank a lot during the banquet, and felt a little drowsy when he went out, but he woke up a lot when the wind blew him, and when he found that Lu Haoshan was not the way back to Qianhusuo, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Lu Haoshan smiled, shook his head and said, "We visited the Guangyuan Zhu family, how can we miss the Bazhou Cheng family." ”

"But. My lord, this road is not the road to Bazhou. ”

"That's right, it's the way to the armory."

Li Dingguo said confusedly: "My lord, what are we going to the armory for?" ”

"This Cheng family is not the Zhu family," Lu Haoshan shrugged and said, "Come and don't be rude." You can't go empty-handed. ”

"But we came to Zhu's house empty-handed."

Lu Haoshan patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said: "To be a man is to look at the food and eat, the Guangyuan Zhu family has abundant money and food, and Guangyuan, which has heavy troops, does not have to worry about safety." is more eager for fame, and the Bazhou Cheng family has been harassed by bandits for many years. It must be that their own safety is more important, and sending them some weapons will definitely bring them closer quickly. ”

After speaking, Lu Haoshan patted Li Dingguo and said, "You are a gift to the Guangyuan Zhu family, hahaha"

Li Dingguo looked at the somewhat arrogant figure of his adult helplessly, and finally smiled bitterly, and hurriedly rode a horse to follow.

People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, people are in society, there are always all kinds of things to trouble, whether it is enterprising or self-preservation, they have to deal with it, this is the way to survive, Lu Haoshan in order to envelop the indigenous forces in Sichuan, began to visit these forces to make good relations, and Han Wendeng and Dong Jian, who were far away in Chengdu, also worked hard for their lives, but there are differences, one is far-sighted, and the other is busy and worried.

In the Han Mansion, Han Wendeng looked at a letter with a happy face, in the end, this is a happy letter.

This is a private letter written by Lord Tian of the Right Capital Governor to Han Wendeng, in which he said that he was going to set up a banquet for a concubine of Xinna, and invited Han Wendeng to the banquet, and also hinted in the letter that he was old and wanted to push Han Wendeng up before he was sent to Shi, this banquet was a very good opportunity, and during the banquet he was introduced to some important people in the imperial court, and a good relationship was conducive to Han Wendeng's entry into the Right Capital Governor's Mansion, and Han Wendeng saw where he did not like it.

The messenger was a subordinate of Tian Mansion, who had sent a letter to Han Wendeng before, and he was an old face, and the words in the letter were also the handwriting of Tian Daren, there would be nothing wrong with this, Han Wendeng saw that the promotion was in sight, and he rewarded the subordinate in a good mood, and said that he would leave on the same day to congratulate the old boss.

Han Wendeng, who was inexplicably excited, didn't notice that the subordinate who delivered the letter looked a little evasive, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes

is equivalent to the excitement of his brother-in-law, Dong Jian's expression is much more complicated, angry, manic, afraid, and uneasy, which can be described as worrying in four words.

Dong Jian sat at the round table made of mahogany with a pale face, looking at the files in his hand, the cool breeze was gusting here, and the cold sweat fell down like a small river, because those files were all about his own crimes: deducting soldiers' salaries, embezzling the fields of the guards, extortion, bullying men and women, etc., not to mention that there were more than 100 crimes, one by one the evidence was conclusive and ironclad, it was really convicted according to these, even ten heads were not enough to cut off.

I know what I do, Dong Jian didn't feel that these crimes were wronged by himself, in fact, others were wronged by themselves, and he could only endure it, because the person who sent some things was the famous Jinyi Wei, sitting opposite Dong Jian was wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife.

With the status of Jinyiwei, not to mention a general banner, even a wrestler made Dong Jian unbearable.

Just halfway through it, Dong Jian's hand trembled, and he suddenly knelt down and said, crying bitterly and saying, "Mr. Ding spares his life." ”

The reason why Jinyiwei makes people smell and change, in addition to enjoying privileges and being famous, the ability to do things must not be ignored, once it is targeted, the eighteenth generation of ancestors can find out for you, Dong Jian knows the ability of these people, so he simply put away his luck. Just kidding, nothing can make them guilty, and now that the evidence is conclusive, can they still deny it?

These are unreasonable Lords.

In the face of the kneeling and crying of a third-grade officer, Ding Zongqi did not feel that there was anything wrong, but said with a cold face: "Dong is not in a hurry, this matter is not under Ding's control, how to judge it is the business of those adults above." This time, I just came to ask Lord Shi for verification, and Lord Shi Shi just asked Ding, and Ding had no choice. ”

Dong Jian's heart flashed, he couldn't slap himself twice, he has lived to a dog all these years, this Jinyiwei Zongqi found evidence of the crime, and instead of directly handing it over to his boss, he ran here to ask for verification, Jinyiwei still needs to verify the case? Joke, this Ding Zongqi is obviously not well-intentioned. Jin Yiwei is majestic, but he is also a mortal, he has to spend, marry a wife and work to support his family, and Jin Yiwei's salary is very low. Extortion has long been accustomed to it, and this time, nine times out of ten, it is such an idea.

If that Ding Zongqi said it so explicitly to understand, Dong Jian secretly laughed that he was really too nervous.

"Mr. Ding has worked hard all the way. It's really loyal, there is a little tea money here, and I ask the general flag lord to smile. Dong Jian, who had figured it out, immediately stood up. took out a roll of silver tickets from his arms, and stuffed them into Ding Zongqi's hand without looking at them.

Ding Zongqi looked down and found that all of them were one hundred taels of silver tickets, not to mention twenty or thirty, a few thousand taels of silver, and for a while, the face of the general flag lord was much better.

"Master Dong, what do you mean by this?" Mr. Ding said with a straight face, but his hand was tightly grasping the silver ticket.

There is no intention of returning.

Dong Jian immediately smiled and said: "This is a little meaning, please be sure to accept it, as long as the general flag is extrajudicial, there will be generous gifts in the future." ”

Ding Zongqi coughed dryly, turned his hand over, and the silver ticket was put into his sleeve pocket, and then said with a pleasant face: "Lord Dong, this matter has been stabbed in the sky, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it, you have to give the emperor an explanation, someone has to take care of it, right?" After speaking, Ding Zongqi sneered twice: "Since Master Dong doesn't want to take it, then don't protect those little ones." ”

Something happens, someone has to be a scapegoat.

"Lord Zongqi, I don't know how many scapegoats I want?" Dong Jian said with some fear.

"It's not a few, it's a lot" Ding Zongqi lowered his voice and said: "This matter has alarmed the emperor, I can't hold it down, the Son of Heaven is angry and ambushes millions of corpses, cough cough, Lord Dong, there have been wars for many years recently, there are traitors in Houjin outside, and the treasury is empty, you also understand, you don't need Ding to move his lips and tongue more, right?" ”

Dong Jian was shocked when he heard this, this matter alarmed the emperor?

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really the "incarnation" of the dragon, it is said that the dragon likes to collect goods, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is no exception, all like to make money, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the inner treasury of the palace, in order to make money, directly send eunuchs to the people to collect mining taxes, so that it is angry and resentful, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is better for the emperor to make hundreds of officials not to be greedy, in order to supplement the treasury, Chongzhen is about to copy out of the addiction.

It is said that Sichuan is rich, and the emperor has raised money and silver, and has set his sights here?

Dong Jian hesitated suddenly, although he knew that it was inviolable, but he still muttered: "Ding Zongqi, you don't know, there are too many people involved here, if you offend them all, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Dong will not be able to move an inch in Sichuan in the future." ”

Ding Zongqi sneered and said: "The official university crushes people to death, can they still turn the sky upside down?" With the emperor's support and the brocade guards to give you courage, who dares to touch you? Besides, your uncle is also a commander, so are you afraid? Those who become big things are not informal, as long as you do it, the emperor will be promoted with a single order, and then he will be promoted and transferred, who can help but get Lord Dong, please the emperor, and be promoted to the knight, this is just one of them; The second is that the disaster is leading to the east, Mingzhe protects himself, and finally there is a benefit, the so-called goose is too feathered, you want the two of us to cooperate, are you afraid that you will not get the benefit? ”

Dong Jian was a little hesitant just now, but as soon as he heard what Ding Zongqi said, he immediately became enlightened, yes, as long as the emperor is happy, maybe he will be promoted to his own official, no matter how bad it is, the emperor will remember himself, and he can make a lot of money after avoiding this catastrophe, so a fool will not do it.

Thinking of those white flowers, Dong Jian's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Okay, no poison, no husband, Ding Zongqi, leave this matter to me, it must be done properly." Dong Jian gritted his teeth and responded.

Driven by the dual drive of life and interests, Dong Jian also let go, and the dead friends are not poor and poor, and they spent thousands of taels at once, and the money was earned back.

A hint of playfulness flashed in Ding Zongqi's eyes, and a sneer that was not easy to observe appeared on his lips, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Ding knows that Master Dong is a smart person." ”

"Mr. Ding, Dong has something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Say it," Mr. Ding said generously.

Dong Jian said with a strange face: "It has always been good before, why did you suddenly poke out such a big man, Ding Zongqi, you also know, this is not only Sichuan, Daming is doing this, why are you only looking for trouble in Sichuan?" ”

"There must be a reason for everything, Lord Dong actually understands after thinking about it, who has he offended recently? Who could alarm the emperor with this? ”

"Guo Feng!" Dong Jian thought for a while, and then he hated to report a person's name.

That's right, it's him, Guo Feng is the commander of the Sichuan capital, and he is naturally the most familiar with the affairs of Sichuan, but his brother-in-law used all kinds of means to pull the boss down from the position, and he sat in the position of the commander of the capital, Guo Feng was caught in Jinyiwei, and it was too normal to expose some insiders in a fit of anger, he was not happy, and he did not let the people of the Sichuan capital have a good time, after all, it was collusion to pull Guo Feng down at that time.

Ding Zongqi said lightly: "Ding didn't say anything about this." (To be continued......)
