"This wharf in our Wutong Town, although it is small, is the most important resting point for passenger ships and merchant ships coming from south to north, so the people who come and go to our town every day are also mixed, and everyone has it, it's okay if nothing happens, but it's a big deal if something happens." Wu Zhixian took a sip of tea and sighed, "No, I also just received a secret report, saying that Dongchu secretly colluded with the important ministers of the capital, intending to plot against him, and the emperor specially sent the military department squire Su Xiansu as the governor, specifically to investigate the relevant contacts between the coastal states and Dongchu, and the new official of Su took office with three fires, so he naturally put pressure on the official, and the official really had a headache!" ”

"But our Su Xian from Tonghua Village?" Pei Ze asked.

"Exactly!" Wu Zhixian nodded and said, "This Lord Su has always been low-key, and when I heard that the title of the gold list was inscribed, he didn't alarm anyone, nor did he let him have good news, but he just quietly took his mother to the capital. ”

"I see." Pei Ze came to his senses.

In less than half a year, he was promoted to the squire of the military department, which is indeed impressive.

"By the way, do you know the origin of Fifth Master Qin?" Wu Zhixian asked again, and Pei Ze groaned, "I heard that he is the in-law of the housekeeper of the important ministers in the capital, so he is so rampant for talents, but he has not made waves recently, which really surprised me." ”

"I know that you only know one thing, but you don't know the other, don't hide it, Qin Wuye is not only the in-laws of Prince Chun's housekeeper, but also the milk brother of Prince Chun's uncle General Rong, who also had a scene in the capital in the early years, and later fought with a woman and caused a human life, or General Rong saved his life by taking care of him, and then returned to Wutong Town." Wu Zhixian sighed again, "So over the years, the successive magistrates of Tongcheng have to give him a few points, that's why he is so arrogant, for so many years, you Pei Ze dares to beat him...... But you know that you beat Qin Wuye, why didn't Qin Wuye retaliate against you? ”

"I don't know." Pei Ze said calmly.

"That's because the official mediated it." Wu Zhixian was very meritorious, and said solemnly, "I told him that once he becomes an opponent with Pei Sanye, there will be endless troubles in the future, after all, Qinglongzhai is not easy to mess with." ”

"It turns out that the adults thought I was from Qinglong Village?" Pei Ze asked quietly.

"Pei Ze, there is a way that the prodigal son will not change his money, don't worry, no one in the town will gossip about you in the future." Wu Zhixian knew that Pei Ze would not admit it, so he didn't care, and said solemnly, "I came this time to sincerely ask you to help me do something, and I also hope that our Wutong Town will be peaceful and prosperous, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Pei Zemo held the tea bowl.

"This official hopes that you will work with Fifth Master Qin to protect Wutong Town and expel the Eastern Chu spies." Wu Zhixian said what he meant, and said in a low voice, "Pei Ze, Fifth Master Qin and I are just playing on the spot, but his masters behind the scenes are General Rong and Prince Chun, this official can't afford to provoke, and the only person this official can rely on is you." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Pei Ze asked.

"The governor ordered the coastal towns to set up a coastal defense team, and especially emphasized that our Wutong Town side is particularly important, but this official suffers from this unprecedented, some have no way to start, think about it, this official thinks of you, I hope that the coastal defense team is fully responsible for you, you can rest assured, when the matter of Dongchu is over, I will definitely find a way to give you an official and a half position, and give you the honor you deserve." Wu Zhixian swore and said, "Pei Ze, the eldest husband is alive, you should do something big to live in vain, you are young and prosperous, it is a good season for meritorious service." ”

Pei Ze smiled: "Don't hide it from your lord, you don't have the heart of fame and fortune in the future, please ask your lord to be smart!" ”

"You, Pei Ze, this is the best time to clear your name!" Wu Zhixian hated that iron could not become steel, "Think about it, as long as your coastal defense team has made meritorious contributions and received praise from the imperial court, who will remember what you have done, and your fathers and fellow villagers will also be proud of you." ”

He felt that Pei Ze was a little ignorant.

If it weren't for the relationship between the two and Weng's son-in-law, he wouldn't necessarily cooperate with him!

"My lord, fame and fortune are like floating clouds to me." Pei Ze said lightly, "I just want to do my business in peace and raise my fish, and I don't want to ...... anything else."

"Pei Ze, you ......" Wu Zhixian was very displeased.

"Listen to me, sir." Pei Ze interrupted his words, and Zhengse said, "There is a way to have eggs under the nest, as a person from Wutong Town, I am also willing to contribute to my hometown, so I can help adults form a coastal defense team, but I will never hold any position in the coastal defense team, if the adults agree, I will send a few henchmen to discuss with me tomorrow, if the adults do not agree, I will definitely not ask about the affairs of the coastal defense team." ”

"Pei Ze, you have achieved fame, you will glorify your ancestors, isn't it good?" Wu Zhixian is very puzzled, and he doesn't understand, now he is the magistrate of Tongcheng, the biggest official within a radius of ten miles, it stands to reason that like the relationship between him and Pei Ze, shouldn't Pei Ze rush to climb the relationship with him?

Why did he end up on the contrary, but he was on the top, and he had to beg for it, his parents?

Pei Ze didn't squeak, just lowered his head and drank tea.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Zhixian sighed: "Okay, I'll send a few people over tomorrow to ask for advice, I'm tired." ”

"Okay, that's it." Pei Ze bowed slightly, and said, "My lord, Lingqianjin's restaurant is full of beggars every day, and it stands to reason that business is booming, but who can know who is mixed up among those beggars, and I hope that my lord will be aware of it." ”

Wu Zhixian knew that his daughter was opening a shop in the town, and he originally thought that she would be over in a few days, but he didn't want her to start a beggar's business, really, it was really embarrassing, his old face turned white, white and red, and he said: "The official will take Mei'er back today, and he will definitely not let her make trouble." ”

Coming out of the Mingxiang Building, Wu Zhixian went straight to the Wanli Coriander Restaurant, personally commanded his subordinates to pick up Wu Mei's plaque, and forcibly escorted Wu Mei into the carriage. ”

Everyone also shouted all the way: "Miss Wu can't go, we won't let Miss Wu go." ”

The beggars sent the carriage out of Sycamore Town.

attracted passers-by to come and watch.

Obediently, Miss Wu and the beggars are really in love!

was so angry that Wu Zhixian couldn't wait to kill this disobedient daughter, it was really a shame to throw her home!

Wu Mei was even more angry: "I knew that you were looking towards that woman and towards Sichuan pepper, why didn't you let me open a store?" I didn't use your money, I used my mother's dowry!" ”

"Are you crazy?" Wu Zhixian said angrily, "Look at what kind of store you opened?" You're not ashamed, I'm shameless? ”

"Hmph, do you think those beggars came on their own?" Wu Mei couldn't get used to Wu Zhixian and the appearance of the mud, and said hatefully, "Those beggars are all hired by Sichuan pepper with silver to disgust me, if you don't help me, forget it, why do you still help Sichuan pepper to suppress me?" Are you or my own father? ”
