Lord Huo was overjoyed at first sight, the warm hospitality of the two ladies had already tried out the preferences of several people, as long as they accepted the pours of the lady, then they were the same kind of people. [Biqu Ge free reading.>
He squinted at the master from the corner of his eye, and the master immediately understood and went out.
Lord Huo stood up and continued to toast attentively, Xiang Yang and Jia Qi were smiling, those who came did not refuse, one by one, Ziwei was sometimes provoked by them, occasionally drank a few sips of wine, helped to entertain, and most of the time was buried in the rice grains.
Seeing her poor appetite, Lord Huo thought that the county lord had been pampered since she was a child, and she was not used to eating coarse tea and talking here, and felt that she had neglected the county lord, and he was always unhappy in his heart, so he got up to compensate her, blamed himself for poor hospitality, and asked the county lord to forgive me.
Stretch out your hand not to hit the smiling person, say a few more thoughtful words, and Ziwei will be embarrassed to stretch her face.
She also stood up and toasted a few glasses of wine with Master Huo, after three rounds of wine, the guests and friends were full of wine, everyone drank happily, and the banquet was lively.
At this time, the master opened the curtain and came in with a square box in his arms, he respectfully handed the small box to Lord Huo, and glanced at Lord Huo.
Lord Huo burped, and after he took it, his face was full of smiles: "The lower official is stupid, and he didn't consider that the county lord is not used to the water and soil here, and he is not used to eating the rice here." Poor hospitality by the lower officials, sins, sins. It's not too late to make amends, now, the lower official took out a box of gadgets, showed a little heart, and gave it to the county lord to buy a few boxes of snacks to eat, change your appetite, please smile. ”
Ziwei took the small box and opened it, and was immediately attracted by the pearl agate and jade hosta in the box, Xiang Yang poked his head and exclaimed: "Lord Huo is really generous, these precious treasures are worth a lot." It was the first time I had seen a pearl the size of a thumb. ”
The small box was held in the palm of his hand, like a hot potato, and the anger in his heart gradually surged, and it was not lost either, and it was also hot to hold it, and his little face was crossed: "Lord Huo, there is no merit and no luck, such a valuable thing is not blessed by the county lord." ”
A fat fat hand opened, revealing four small pits on the back of the hand, the fat hand pushed open the small box, and he politely refused: "County Lord, where do you speak, you are a great benefactor of Liancheng, this is a little gratitude to you on behalf of the people of Liancheng." ”
The small box reached over and froze in place.
Xiang Yang shouted loudly beside him: "Qi Gongzi, such a good thing, it's the first time I've seen it, Qi Gongzi is right, the luncheon is a good banquet, it's a feast." ”
Jia Qi smiled gently: "What Xiang Gongzi said is very true. ”
Ziwei was stunned: What do you mean?
Xiang Yang saw that Jia Qi agreed with his words, and stood aside with him, he was energetic, took a step forward, and while Ziwei was still stunned, he snatched the box from her hand and broke the deadlock: "The county lord's box is quite heavy, let me help you get it?" ”
Holding the box, the box was heavy, and he stayed aside and grinned and laughed, revealing a bored face.
"Nonsense. This is not possible. ”
"The county lord envoy, this is a little bit of Lord Huo's heart, and he should laugh at it."
"I'm afraid it's not right! Hunting Qi, what do you say? ”
Hunt Qi Shi Ran got up and hugged his fist at Lord Huo and saluted: "Thank you Lord Huo for your hospitality." ”
Ziwei was stunned for a while, wondering why the two cooperated tacitly.
Hunt Qi sang with a red face, Xiang Yang sang with a white face, calmly took this box of treasures, and openly offered bribes in the hall, wouldn't this trap her be unjust.
She still has official business, and she wants to check Lord Huo's account, this sumptuous lunch is famous, and she has to check the account.
Hey!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ziwei's mind, eating lunch is famous, so this box of pearl agate is even more illustrative.
"Hahaha, Lord Huo, you have lost your eyes this time, who said, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft, today, I have to eat, but also take, but also look at the account, kill three birds with one stone, look at you and me!"
Ziwei raised a bright smile, learned the tone of Xiangyang, and said in a smooth tone: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Her eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she said to Lord Huo in a helpless tone: "Lord Huo, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and you can't live up to the saint, the county lord has official duties, and he must quickly alleviate the disaster in Liancheng, so that he can return to Beijing to return to the emperor to return to his life, so the county lord wants to find out how the disaster relief materials and food pulled out by the imperial court are distributed." ”
Lord Huo nodded with a smile: "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, that is the duty of the county lord, tomorrow night, the lower official will order someone to send the account book to the county lord, and ask the county lord to see it in person, how about it?" ”
Ziwei stood up and walked out: "Okay, tomorrow night, the county lord is waiting for you at the inn where he stays." ”
"It's a deal."
After the account book was decided, Ziwei was in a relaxed mood, she took the lead out of the hall with a smile on her face, Hunt Qi and Xiang Yang glanced at each other, hugged their fists and said goodbye to Lord Huo, and the two walked out one after the other behind Ziwei.
"Hahaha, it turned out to be a fellow practitioner in my generation." Lord Huo was overjoyed, and a sudden crisis was eliminated and invisibly resolved.
"Hmph, a raccoon dog. Say no, pretend to be pure and upright, pretentious, and do not eat the fireworks of the world, under the guise of the emperor's order, do some things that are inferior to male thieves, female prostitutes, pigs and dogs, a group of robbers. ”
Master Huo watched the three of them happily walk away, his heart was itching with hatred, and he was cursing them vigorously.
He walked into the inner room dejectedly, took out the key and opened the cabinet, and looked at the empty cabinet, and his heart fell suddenly, and his face was extremely ugly. A box of pearl jadeite was robbed for no reason, his heart was very painful, he was so angry that his toothache hurt, and he hummed: "My pearl jadeite." Oh my darling. ”
He smashed his fist in the cabinet and scolded hatefully: "Bastard, this official and you are incompatible, if you are not knocked down, you will not be a man." ”
The master has been standing behind Lord Huo, watching Lord Huo in pain, he came over and comforted him lightly: "My lord, these lords are not good stubble, I think the lord named Qi Gongzi is a character, the county lord is acting according to his eyes, this person is scheming, he can't afford to offend!" My lord, possessions are things outside the body, and if you lose them, you will lose them! Sacrifice wealth to avoid disaster, as long as she dares to accept the adult's pearl jade, then she is not afraid, we have a way to deal with her. ”
"Hmph, it's lightweight, it's not your treasure, of course you don't feel pain in your heart." Master Huo pulled his chubby face, and didn't dare to say these words, he saw the master, he looked respectful, completely like a different person, just now in the hall with a tall toe, but now, he seems to be a little shorter.
The master said coldly: "Things have priorities, don't lose big because of small things." Now the top priority is to get the books of accounts right, otherwise, neither you nor I will be able to eat and walk around. ”
If you don't check the account books, you won't know it, and if you check it, you will be exposed.
Their misappropriation of disaster relief materials and silver will be poked out, the black gauze hat will be lost, his life will be lost, maybe there will be nine clans, thinking of this, Lord Huo was frightened, and he didn't feel sorry for any treasure, or the head of Xiang Shang's head mattered, he asked in a low voice: "Master, how do you see how to survive this catastrophe?" If you help the official to get through this hurdle, the official will definitely thank him again in the future. ”
The master groaned: "As the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft, and if she eats and takes, she has already been tricked, maybe she will turn a blind eye." The point is that you have to get the books done and fool the past. Tonight, I told the bookkeeper to make a fake account, and I was carrying a box of jewelry and antiques for her, and let her lie in the box and count the silver until her hands cramped. After this level, the adults will sit back and relax and continue to dream of your Liancheng Deputy City Lord. ”
There is no main city lord in Liancheng, only he, a deputy city lord who is hanging on his idle post, and many people don't understand why Liancheng doesn't have a real city lord, and no one knows the mystery.
Only he and his master know that Huo Ming is Huo Rong's nephew, Huo Ming is deeply loved by Nanning, and Liancheng has always been in charge of Huo Ming. If you don't pay attention to it a little, you will be robbed of Nanning's favor by the new husband, and he will fall out of favor, and falling out of favor means losing power.
Liancheng is a treasure land, and he has paid his heart and soul for it, and he is unwilling to give up his vested interests. Therefore, he called his uncle Huo Rong and asked Nanning to appoint him as the deputy city lord to share his worries.
When Huo Rong saw Nanning, he surrendered to her and showed loyalty to her. Nanning weighed the pros and cons, found a pustule, and was willing to bow down to her, it was better than finding someone with ill intentions.
After much thought, I agreed to his request.
Nanning was not worried about his ability, and sent a shrewd and capable master to help him.
Huo Rong knew that the master was clearly helping him take care of Liancheng, but he was actually monitoring him, and he was not allowed to turn his back on his master. Behind the scenes, the two changed roles, and he obeyed the master's orders everywhere and everywhere, and acted according to the master's face.
Therefore, the master rarely calls him the deputy city lord, and generally calls him Lord Huo. It is to make him understand how this adult of his came to be, and not to forget his roots. Forget who his master is?
Thinking of that delicate little face, Lord Huo shuddered. The county lord of Nanning is ruthless, he has been taught, if he doesn't deal with this matter well, Nanning will punish him, he is panicked, and he is so anxious that the six gods have no master. A pair of eyes looked at Master Chao and begged, "Master, what do you think?"
The master's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he leaned over and whispered to him: "Master Huo, these people are not good at coming, and the good ones don't come, if she doesn't eat your set, how can I be sorry?" ”
"How?"
"Let her have no return, stay in Liancheng, and keep her mouth shut forever."
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, the prince is the god of war, provoke him, and we will die without a place to bury."
