When Cai Qianqing pushed open the door of the lobby and walked straight in, the eyes of the five people in the lobby all fell on him, and at the same time, Cai Qianqing also noticed that although Zhang Fuzhi, Zhang Pei'an, Li Songming and Jiang Boqi were looking him up and down, no one showed the slightest look of surprise and surprise.

That is, they know who they are and they know that they will be on this occasion.

For Zhang Fuzhi and others, no matter what happens on this occasion, they should sit firmly on Mount Tai and not be shocked, which is called not losing momentum, but in fact, their "stability" at this time just exposes that there are people behind them.

Xin Guangyun deliberately waited for a while, then stepped forward, walked up to Cai Qianqing, and introduced to the four of them: "This is Mr. Cai Qianqing, the one-eyed flower fox, the newly hired staff division of the Governor's Mansion. ”

Li Songming and Jiang Boqi nodded slightly, and then looked away, looking like no one in their eyes; Zhang Pei'an looked at Cai Qianqing carefully, as if he wanted to see through something, while Zhang Fuzhi was drinking tea with a teacup, not looking at Cai Qianqing properly.

Xin Guangyun and Cai Qianqing exchanged glances, and then walked towards the hall side by side.

Just when Cai Qianqing walked to the Taishi chair and stood still, Zhang Fuzhi, who put down the teacup, got up and saluted: "I have admired the name of the one-eyed flower fox for a long time, and today I finally saw the true face of Lushan, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Zhang Fuzhi's move not only surprised Li Songming and Jiang Boqi, but even his son Zhang Pei'an was very surprised, and he didn't understand why his father was so "polite" to Cai Qianqing?

Because they said in advance that if Cai Qianqing came forward, they must give him a dismissal first.

Cai Qianqing didn't say anything, just returned the salute with an expressionless face, and then resumed her posture and stood there.

Li Songming and Jiang Boqi glanced at each other, continued to play with walnuts and smoked pipes.

Zhang Fuzhi smiled and sat down, picked up the teacup and took another sip.

Although the lobby is quiet, the atmosphere is clearly wrong.

●

In the back hall, Fu Guodong, who was standing at the door and listening carefully to the movements in the lobby, looked anxious, and asked Qiu Gubo next to him in a low voice: "So quiet?" ”

Qiu Gubo replied in a low voice: "That old fox of Zhang Fuzhi was the first to speak. ”

Fu Guodong sighed and said: "Actually, Li Songming and Jiang Boqi are easy to deal with, I'm afraid of Zhang Fuzhi and his son, especially his son." ”

Qiu Gubo said: "Zhang Anpei and I have been classmates since high school, this kid has been deviant since he was a child, he likes to break the tradition since he was a child, especially disgusted with reading the scriptures and respecting Confucius, and doing things in an extreme way. ”

Fu Guodong nodded: "Yes, I heard that he even encouraged the abolition of Chinese characters and asked us to learn foreign dialects." ”

Qiu Gubo listened to the door: "Don't worry, since Cai Qianqing dares to stand on the lobby, then he must have a way to deal with it." ”

Fu Guodong, who was extremely worried in his heart, could only nod, Qiu Gubo simply moved a stool and put it in front of the door of the back hall, and asked Fu Guodong to sit down and wait.

●

An hour passed quietly.

Cai Qianqing and Xin Guangyun stood on the left and right sides of the Taishi chair like two statues, without saying a word, and even breathing almost at the same frequency.

And the four people in the hall, in addition to Zhang Fuzhi, his sons Zhang Pei'an, Li Songming, and Jiang Boqi were all a little impatient, and all the unhappiness was written on their faces.

Zhang Pei'an looked at Zhang Fuzhi, who was reading, and said in a low voice: "Dad? ”

Zhang Fuzhi turned the page without raising his head: "Huh? ”

Zhang Pei'an said impatiently: "Dad, what is Fu Guodong doing?" Just hang us here? Do you have to say something? ”

Zhang Fuzhi pointed to the book and said: "You must not ignore what you say, and if you don't observe it, you will not distinguish between good and bad." There is no distinction between good and bad, and there is chaos. ”

"What else are you watching at this time?" Zhang Pei'an frowned, "Dad, if you don't speak, the two people on the other side will definitely not say a word." ”

Zhang Fuzhi said lightly: "The gun shoots the first bird, and the knife cuts the head snake on the ground, do you want to be a bird, or do you want to be a snake?" ”

When Zhang Anpei was about to speak, Jiang Boqi on the opposite side stood up with a pipe: "Fu Dashuai, is this deliberately closed?" What's wrong? Scared? ”

Li Songming pretended to get up and dissuade him: "Boss Jiang, sit down, sit down, the big handsome must be entangled in official business." ”

"Official business? What official business is more important than Chen Bozhong's soldiers coming to the city? Jiang Boqi stood there and shouted, deliberately looking at Xin Guangyun and Cai Qianqing in the hall, "He wants to fight and make peace, come out and make it clear!" ”

After Jiang Boqi finished speaking, Zhang Fuzhi, who was flipping through the book, scolded in a low voice: "Idiot! ”

Zhang Pei'an turned his head to look at his father and found the contempt on Zhang Fuyi's face.

Cai Qianqing walked down from the hall: "Boss Jiang, the marshal is inspecting the city defense, and the purpose of inspecting the city defense is to deal with Chen Bozhong's troops coming to the city. ”

Jiang Boqi snorted coldly and sat down, Li Songming smiled at Cai Qianqing and sat down.

Cai Qianqing walked up to Jiang Boqi and asked coldly: "Boss Jiang is really well-informed, where did you know that Chen Bozhong is about to come to the city?" Didn't publish this news in the newspapers, did it? ”

Jiang Boqi was stunned for a moment, unable to say a word, indeed, Chen Bozhong never publicly said that he wanted to attack Yongcheng.

Li Songming immediately said: "The news has spread all over Yongcheng, and the whole city is panicking, otherwise, we wouldn't have come to discuss with the marshal." ”

Cai Qianqing looked at Li Songming again: "Boss Li, rumors usually don't match the facts. ”

Li Songming said: "Even if it is a rumor, you have to prepare in advance, otherwise what if Chen Bozhong's soldiers come to the city?" ”

"yes, what should I do?" Cai Qianqing looked directly at Li Songming, "What is Boss Li going to do?" ”

"I ......" Li Songming couldn't say it, because he was just a businessman, what did he make a decision on?

At this time, Jiang Boqi stood up: "We businessmen, what we are most afraid of is war, and the war is together, then we ......."

Cai Qianqing interrupted Jiang Boqi's words: "Understood! Several bosses have already decided, the main and not the main battle, in this case, a few people, please go back, I will convey the opinions of a few to the marshal. ”

Jiang Boqi and Li Songming were gagged by Cai Qianqing's words, so they had to sit there and look at each other, keeping silent, extremely embarrassed.

Zhang Pei'an was about to get up and argue, but Zhang Fuyi grabbed his wrist.

Zhang Fuzhi looked at Zhang Pei'an and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to act rashly.

Although Cai Qianqing, who had his back to the two of them, didn't see it, this scene was fully watched by Xin Guangyun.

Zhang Pei'an sat there and thought about it, but he was still angry, and as soon as Zhang Fuzhi's hand was taken away, he got up directly and walked towards Cai Qianqing: "Mr. Cai, right?" I would like to ask, if the war is together, what will happen to the people of Yongcheng? What about us, the merchants? ”

Cai Qianqing said lightly: "What do you ask me to do?" ”

Zhang Pei'an snorted coldly: "The marshal avoids it, you are a staff officer, don't ask you, who do you ask?" ”

"Zhang Gongzi, right?" Cai Qianqing looked at Zhang Pei'an, "You shouldn't ask Dashuai about this, let alone me." ”

Zhang Pei'an laughed sarcastically: "Then who should I ask?" ”

Cai Qianqing smiled slightly: "You should ask Chen Bozhong, he wants to fight Yongcheng, and he also started the war, you have to ask the initiator." ”

Zhang Pei'an was shocked, speechless, he was originally aggressive, and he was also blocked back by Cai Qianqing in a few words, neither to leave, nor to stay, it was not embarrassing to stand there.

Li Songming and Jiang Boqi looked at both sides, deliberately making a look that they had nothing to do with themselves.

"Idiot!" Zhang Fuzhi, who was looking down at the book, frowned and said to himself, "I've read for nothing." ”

Cai Qianqing walked towards the hall, stood back in his place and said: "If you advocate peace, then I advise you to quickly send someone to Fenghua to make your position clear to Commander Chen, so that if Yongcheng City is broken, Commander Chen will definitely not embarrass you." ”

After speaking, Cai Qianqing glanced at the four of them, paused and said: "The marshal also explained that no matter how the war develops, we can't use the war to force you to pay money and food, so please be relieved." ”

Cai Qianqing's words did not go around in circles, they went straight to the point, and directly extinguished the flame drama that the next three masters were going to stage, and at the same time, the words also pointed out that Fu Guodong already knew that Chen Bozhong had sent someone to contact the three masters.

All in all, it is to send three people and four words - so that it can be done for itself.

"It's not early, since the marshal is busy with official business, then don't bother." Zhang Fuzhi put away the book, got up and said, "Farewell." ”

"I have to go, too." Jiang Boqi got up and said, "My second child made soup for me, and I have to go back to drink soup." ”

Li Songming also got up holding the walnuts: "I have to go, Tiangan, I have to go to inspect the granary." ”

"Everyone!" When the four of them walked to the door of the lobby, they heard Cai Qianqing's voice, the four of them stopped and turned around, looked at Cai Qianqing standing there, hugged their fists and bowed and said, "Don't be unpredictable, everyone walk slowly, be careful with your step, don't slip." ”

Except for Zhang Fuzhi, the faces of the other three were extremely ugly.

Zhang Fuzhi returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Cai, Secretary Xin, stay here." ”

After the four of them left, the back hall door opened, and Fu Guodong and Qiu Gubo immediately walked in.

Fu Guodong walked up to Cai Qianqing with a grateful face: "Thank you, Mr. for helping." ”

"You're welcome. In fact, the big marshal also knows how to deal with it, but the big marshal is in the way. Cai Qianqing said lightly, "I just gave a demonstration to Dashuai before, and the matter has come to this point, if Dashuai still wants to take care of the situation, it is better to give up Yongcheng to Chen Bozhong." ”

Fu Guodong just nodded and sat down, still full of distress, after all, he avoided it today, so what about tomorrow? Three, everyone will not stop.

Qiu Gubo stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what you just said is not the same as what we discussed before, why did you suddenly change your strategy?" ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Cai Qianqing explained, "My previous strategy was based on them eating soft rather than hard, and when I walked into the lobby, there was a smell of gunpowder, just as peace should be achieved by war. ”

At this time, Xin Guangyun said: "The most difficult thing to deal with is Zhang Fuzhi, he doesn't pick his head, he is polite and polite, he is just waiting for the changes, which is terrible." ”

Cai Qianqing said: "Indeed, this kind of person is the most terrifying. ”

Fu Guodong rubbed his forehead: "What should I do tomorrow?" ”

The lobby was quiet again.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow, how can I know how to deal with it?

"Respond to change with the same." Cai Qianqing turned around and left after speaking.
