The county town of Southeast County, Anshui City, and the Hejia Villa are brightly lit, singing and dancing.

He Zhengqun stood at the main entrance of the courtyard to greet the guests in person, and He Zhong, who was sent by the head of the He family, stood aside to accompany him.

Although He Zhong is a housekeeper with the surname, everyone in the court knows that as long as it is a private occasion, He Zhong's personal presence is almost equal to He Dexing's personal presence, and even He Zhengqun, who is a branch of the He family, has to pay tribute to He Zhong when he sees him.

"Captain Qin, welcome, welcome, I haven't seen the Qin City Lord for a few years, but he is getting younger and younger. ”

"Where and where, don't dare to compare with He Da's master, this is Zhongbo, Qin Xun in Xiananshan County, and he has admired Zhongbo's name for a long time. ”

Uncle Zhongmi smiled and nodded at Qin Xun, who was bowing deeply with his fists.

He Zhengqun laughed: "Lieutenant Qin, please come in." ”

Qin Xun took two steps, turned his head and glanced at He Zhong's back, and then walked in with his entourage.

"Lord Qin, who is this loyal uncle, why did you ...... just now?"

"Shhh, don't make a mistake, this is not a good place, that person can make people go straight to the clouds, pay attention for a while, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Lord Macheng, don't come unharmed, don't come unharmed!"

"He Zhengqun, if you are polite, you still need to tell me, if you are really polite, you won't tell me half a month earlier that Uncle Zhong is coming this time?" Although Ma Yuan is the city lord of Jingping City, as a small person who grew up with He Zhengqun, he is also straightforward in his speech, and he has seen He Zhong several times in both public and private affairs.

Ma Yuan turned his head and took out a brocade box from his arms, and handed it out respectfully: "Uncle Zhong, this is not a small son who heard that you came in person, and I prepared it in a hurry, and I don't know if it is in line with Uncle Zhong's wishes." ”

Uncle Zhong didn't take the brocade box, and after the subordinate next to him took it, Uncle Zhong said: "Naturally, I am satisfied, go in quickly, and I will drink two more glasses with the old man later." ”

"Eh, then Xiao Yuanzi will go in first and wait for you. ”

"My lord, why did that Zhong Bo say he was satisfied without even looking at it, he knew that it was the Golden Wind Jade Ludan that you specially prepared for him?"

"You kid, you've been with me for a while, why are you still stupid, to his level, I haven't seen anything good, he doesn't look at it now, and he has to report it to him when he goes back, I carefully prepared things, his old man can receive a heart, this Dan, maybe which turtle grandson is cheaper, his old man, he won't use it." ”

The little guy next to Ma Yuan opened his mouth wide: "I can't look down on such a precious elixir, so I can't usually use it as an elixir......"

"Xiandan, I haven't heard that anyone in our Sangtu Da @ Lu can practice it, but he uses ...... Hey, forget it, I'll talk to you kid about what to do, go around, go in, be clever for a while, and look at each other a little longer. ”

Running for the lord of the city is a big thing in the Sang Dynasty, saying that it is small, as long as it is selected, go to the court to report and record it, and the recorded official documents will only stay on the emperor's desk at most for no more than a cup of tea.

Saying that it is big, the election ceremony is still relatively grand, and the three county lieutenants, the county, and the two neighboring counties, plus all the city lords of the county are present to vote before they can be elected.

He Zhengqun was in the courtyard of Anshui City to make the final preparations before the election of the city lord of Mud Bodhisattva City, and he didn't have that much face to hold this banquet, but who let He Zhong come, so whether he wanted to or not, all the county lieutenants and city lords were still here.

Yin Baiwen came not early or late, as the lieutenant of this county, he has a geographical advantage.

"Captain Yin!" He Zhengqun bowed and clenched his fists: "Prepare the wine, thanks to the presence of Captain Yin." ”

Yin Baiwen didn't stand up, and took the fist held by He Zhengqun with a smile and helped him up: "He Da is a big man who doesn't need to be polite, in front of Mr. He Zhong, Baiwen can't afford to be your gift." ”

"Where did Captain Yin say it......" He Zhengqun frowned, Yin Baiwen's words were obviously wrong, who knew that Yin Baiwen arched his hand towards He Zhongyi and said: "Mr. He, Baiwen will go in first, and I will have a few more drinks with you later." ”

He Zhong smiled and nodded in agreement.

"It's almost time, Uncle Zhong, let's go inside. Seeing that the sky was already dark, He Zhengqun walked up to He Zhong and asked for instructions.

"Well, who didn't come?" He Zhong asked casually.

"Wang Qi of Yezhao City, Xie Zhuo of Sanbao City, Luo Guanghui of Huya City, Fang Ziming of Gao Hui City, and Yu Qi, the county lieutenant of Donghai County. He Zhengqun reported according to the number, he was not feeling comfortable in his heart, and some people dared not to buy Zhongbo's face.

He Zhong didn't say anything, and smiled slightly: "Let's go in." ”

He Zhengqun hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhong, the branch of the He family in Southeast County is an important rear of the He family's family, the city lord of Mud Bodhisattva City cannot afford to lose, and it doesn't matter if those few don't come, but the girl of the Zeng family is also a little powerful, and she captured these city lords so quickly, and even the county lieutenant of Donghai County, which the little nephew never thought of." ”

"What's the panic, these are enough to make the position of the city lord of Mud Bodhisattva City a foregone conclusion, as for him, I'm afraid it is not the account of the small family of the Zeng family. ”

"You mean...... The little nephew is ignorant, and he also asks Uncle Zhong for advice. ”

"Yin Baiwen. He Zhong narrowed his eyes and said concisely.

This night banquet in the courtyard is only cheesy and tasteless, on the bright side, the warblers, the swallows, the swallows, the bamboos, the sound of pushing the cups, changing the lamps, talking and laughing, secretly the long-sleeved dancers, flattery, and not in the wine, touting each other.

Everyone understands the purpose of this banquet, and they also conform to this purpose, and they also want to seek some benefits for themselves, as for who is the city lord of Mud Bodhisattva City, and how much does it have to do with him?

It's just that halfway through the banquet, the He family hurriedly walked to He Zhengqun's side and whispered, all the people present were shrewd people, seeing He Zhengqun's face change a little bit, they understood that the rhythm of this night banquet might be disrupted.

Sure enough, I saw that He Zhengqun asked He Zhong for instructions, and then motioned to the little guy who came to report just now and said, "Tell you what you just said to me again." ”

"This ......" The little guy swallowed his saliva, and glanced at He Zhengqun with a nervous expression before he had to turn to the table: "Ladies and gentlemen, just now, there was news from Mud Bodhisattva City, Yin, Yin Xiaojun Lieutenant framed my family's eldest young master and fourth young master and beat him, Yin Xiaojun Lieutenant has already arrested people in prison, according to it, it is said that he has used private and lynching ...... Also, I also ask all the officials and masters to administer justice for the eldest young master and the fourth young master of my family. ”

After the little guy finished speaking, he stepped aside, and Yin Baiwen snorted coldly: "Mud Bodhisattva City is one of the county seats, and the county lieutenant is here, which adult do you want to call to administer justice to you?"

Yin Baiwen received Yin Yue's news not long in the afternoon, unlike the He family, due to Chen Hanfei's on-site blockade and failure to report the news in time, after He Tian was arrested and put in prison, the He family spent time inquiring, and then the matter was brought to the forefront.
