Wu Shigong stared for a moment, and then said to Li Pengfei: "Okay, it's easy for our brothers to get together, so let's not talk about these unpleasant things." By the way, Brother Li must have something important to do when he came to find my little brother. ”

Li Pengfei glanced at Wu Shigong and said, "Don't hide it from your brother, I am here to be a lobbyist." If you want to say something, someone as smart as my brother should be able to guess it. Big brother, I will rely on the old man to persuade me, brother, you have to give up where you should give up. ”

Wu Shigong pondered for a while, and said to Li Pengfei: "What Brother Li said is that he wants the younger brother to give up the credit for exterminating the chaotic people? ”

Li Pengfei nodded and said with a smile: "I know that my brother is a smart person. Let's be honest. Big brother, I'm going to eat here with Grandpa Xiao now. Father-in-law Xiao also needs these credits to keep his position. However, if my brother has any requirements, I will tell my eldest brother. As long as it can be done, Father-in-law Xiao has already made a package ticket, and there will definitely be no shortage of catties or two. ”

Wu Shigong actually did not want these credits in his heart because he didn't want to attract the attention of Emperor Chongzhen. However, now that Wu Shigong already knows that these officials need these credits to keep their positions, he must exchange these credits for some benefits.

Wu Shigong pretended to think about it for a while, then pretended to sigh again, and said to Li Pengfei: "Forget it, I can only say that my little brother's life is not good." However, the younger brother does have a few requirements here. ”

After listening to Wu Shigong's words, a smile appeared on Li Pengfei's face, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother, what do you say?" ”

"The first request is that I got into a lawsuit in the capital. On my way from the capital to Guide, I had a fight with a lifter, who went to the capital and sued me. Now the Ministry of War has suspended my younger brother from his post and asked me to write a letter of self-defense. But Brother Li knows the ink in my stomach, and he will never be able to play with a pen. Is it to let Xiao Gonggong xiangshang be accommodating, so that this lawsuit is like this. ”

Li Pengfei frowned, feeling that this matter was not very easy to handle, and he wanted to understand the matter more clearly. He then asked, "Then why did the old brother beat that lifter?" ”

"For a woman."

Li Pengfei turned his mind and said, "Where is that woman now?" Big brother, I also have a few confidants, and if I did that woman, I would die without proof. When the time comes, it's okay to drag and drag. ”

Wu Shigong was taken aback by Li Pengfei's words, and he hurriedly said: "That woman is now the concubine of the younger brother. I have children in my belly. ”

Li Pengfei listened to Wu Shigong's words, "hehe" laughed out loud, he pointed at Wu Shigong with his finger, dangling: "Fighting for the wind and being jealous!" It's easy to do. Don't say that there will be a little bit of credit left for you this time, the promotion may not be enough, and it will be more than enough to atone for the sins. ”

"In case that person makes a fuss, let out the jealousy between the two of you. At that time, it doesn't matter if we martial artists lose some face, then the scholar is the most cheeky. Let your Xue family go to that person to make some money, and it will be fine. ”

Wu Shigong's eyes suddenly brightened, this expert's shot, what a difference. The problem that has plagued him for so many days has been solved by Li Pengfei in a few words.

Seeing that the first condition was solved, Wu Shigong continued: "The second condition is that the thousand households that the younger brother is in charge of must hand over money and grain every year. This year's drought is so severe that there may be no harvest. After the younger brother arrived at this thousand households, he made up a lot of silver taels. ”

And Li Bingbei, who manages the younger brother, is more serious, and every year he asks the younger brother's thousands of households to pay off all the money and grain handed over. The younger brother is afraid that he will have a deficit again this year. ”

Hearing this request, Li Pengfei's answer was refreshing: "There is absolutely no problem with this." This year, there was a drought in the whole of Henan. When the emperor's decree to reduce money and grain comes down, let Gonggong Xiao go to Li Bingbeidao to say hello, and just assign your thousand households to the area where money and grain are exempted. This tax-free quota is not given to anyone. ”

Seeing that the second condition was satisfactorily resolved, Wu Shigong continued: "One of Zuihou's requirements is that the younger brother has spent a lot of money to let the sons and daughters work hard this time. The seizure in the camp of the rebels this time can be owned by the younger brother. ”

Li Pengfei immediately replied: "Of course, there is absolutely no problem with that. But the eldest brother reminded me. Gonggong Xiao can restrain the soldiers of Defu City here, but the reinforcements from all around him are coming, and it is impossible to prevent them from getting rich. Dude, you have to do it quickly. ”

Both of them were very happy to see that the matter was resolved satisfactorily. Li Pengfei was in a hurry to go back and resume his life. I saw Wu Shigong yawning a few times one after another. So, after a few more glasses of wine, he offered his farewell.

However, although Li Pengfei offered to take his leave, he refused to move his footsteps. Wu Shigong immediately understood. At the time just now, Master Mu's corpse was at the place where the old man Zhao Ming drank that pusher. But the imperial seal and dragon robe of the "Great Song Kingdom" in Wu Shigong's hands, as well as those golden Buddha statues and gold ingots, have not been handed over.

Wu Shigong asked Li Pengfei to wait, he went back to the room where those things were placed, opened the big bag containing these things, thought about it, took a piece of cloth in the room, put the gold ingots in the cloth and put them away, and after wrapping the baggage, he walked out of the room and handed the burden to Li Pengfei.

Li Pengfei took the burden, opened it and checked it, and found that everything was complete. Then wrapped up the baggage and officially took his leave.

Before leaving, Li Pengfei said to Wu Shigong: "In all fairness, my brother's requirements are indeed not high. The elder brother went to Gonggong Xiao to fight for it, and he always wanted the elder brother to show his face in the credit book. Brother, don't be a thousand households who don't want to do anything. Transform the elder brother into a formal military position (that is, a garrison like Li Lu). Raise some soldiers, and you can drink some soldiers' blood. ”

Wu Shigong's eyes lit up when he heard Li Pengfei's words. Wu Shigong now has soldiers in his possession, and Han Xin points soldiers, and the more the better. If Wu Shigong can still use the military salary of the imperial court to raise some soldiers, plus Wu Shigong can remotely control the soldiers of this thousand households through his apprentice Tao Xin, then Wu Shigong's strength will be greatly strengthened. Who wouldn't want such a good thing.

Wu Shigong hurriedly replied: "Then Brother Li has to worry about it." However, the younger brother has also been operating in Guide for a long time, so it is best not to leave Guide Mansion. ”

"This shouldn't be a problem. But big brother, I don't dare to pack tickets. However, there was not a single soldier in the territory of Guide Province, and this time there was another rebellion. Now there should be no problem with some soldiers. In this way, the eldest brother will go to Gonggong Xiao to mention it, and it is estimated that the probability of agreeing is greater than eighty percent. ”

In fact, Li Pengfei's proposal is not unfounded. Li Pengfei is a master of observing words and feelings, and these days he has followed Xiao Gonggong, and from Xiao Gonggong's words and deeds, he can see that Xiao Gonggong is very dissatisfied with the silver gun candle head of the Jiang guerrilla.

As the supervisor of Henan, Gonggong Xiao always has some generals like little tigers, and Wu Shigong's brave performance today made Gonggong Xiao appreciate it very much. In the words and deeds of Gonggong Xiao just now, he also revealed the intention of soliciting Wu Shigong. So. Li Pengfei simply sold one to Wu Shigong first, and also let Wu Shigong have an ideological preparation.

When he walked to the door, Li Pengfei turned around, patted Wu Shigong on the shoulder, and said to Wu Shigong: "If you are a sissy, I can't say it, big brother." Take care, brothers! ”

"Take care!" Wu Shigong replied with open arms.

Seeing Wu Shigong's appearance, Li Pengfei smiled. He threw down the burden in his hand, and also opened his arms and hugged Wu Shigong. Both slapped each other the back several times......

After saying goodbye to Li Pengfei, Wu Shigong returned to the table and ate a round belly. Then I went to the bedroom in the inner room to take a nap.

Throughout the afternoon, Wu Shigong slept in An's bedroom. He slept very deeply this afternoon, and in his sleep, Wu Shigong constantly had all kinds of strange dreams. It wasn't until near dinner that Wu Shigong was woken up from his sleep by a guard.

After the guard saw that Wu Shigong had woken up, he whispered to Wu Shigong: "Uncle, there are people sent by Lord Hou and Lord Fuzun outside to look for you and ask you to go to the banquet in the evening. ”

Wu Shigong immediately got up and put on his clothes, then ordered a basin of water to be fetched and wiped his face. Then he took his guards and followed the messenger to the place of the banquet.
