Quiet nights, tranquil brocade city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Four or five drunken guys, hooked shoulder-to-shoulder, walked out of the corner bar and staggered down the street.
"Cheers to the new city owner, to a new life. The drunken man at the head burped, spewed out a pungent smell of wine, and said indistinctly, "Long live the new city lord." ”
"Long live the new city lord. A few unconscious guys beside him also shook their glasses, and shouted with a hippie smile, "Cheers, hahahaha." ”
"Squeak. With the sharp sound of brakes, two vehicles sprayed with the logo of the garrison stopped next to the drunk, and several members of the guard quickly jumped out of the car, armed with batons and firearms, and quickly subdued the guys who were unable to stand on their feet, and escorted them into the car.
"Seventy-four, bastard. One of the guards kicked the drunk man in the ass and scolded angrily, "Can't you idiots make people feel at ease? If you drink too much, you start convulsions and destroy the bar's finances, do you think you can't catch you? Fool, let me in and sober up, and when I wake up tomorrow, I'll know I'm crying, and I'll take them away." ”
Several team members listened to the captain's complaints with a smile, and the captain stared at them, shrunk their necks together, stuffed several drunk men into the car, and disappeared at the end of the street in a puff of smoke.
This scene is just a small episode after the celebration, in the deep night, unknown to the public, I am afraid most people will not know, in the middle of the night, there is a group of people tirelessly maintain the security of the city.
"Aunt Ying, please trouble your Li family and the garrison. The city hall was still brightly lit, and after Li Xiu, who was reporting to work, retreated, the new city councillor nodded and smiled at Li Ying, "Today's celebration is exhausted from maintaining order, and it is really hard to maintain law and order at night." ”
The location of several people is the city lord's office of the city hall, and now they are qualified to sit here, there are only four pillar ministers and Zhang Lu five, although it is very late, but on the first day after the transfer of power, there are still many things to be busy, and it is not until late at night that the five of them have time to take a breath.
"This is the responsibility of our Li family, and it is also the responsibility of the garrison. The expression on Li Ying's face has soothed a lot today, and she actually put on a little smile, shook her head and said politely, "If you can't even accept this bit of suffering, what qualifications do you have to serve the fourth lady, no, serve the city lord." ”
"Aunt Ying is really too humble. Zhang Lu sighed, looked at the night outside the window, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect it to be so late, and the four elders of Lao have accompanied me until now." Fortunately, the matter has been dealt with almost over, let's stop tonight, everyone go back and have a good night's rest, especially Uncle Du, you have just been seriously injured, you should recuperate. ”
"Hehe, thank you Lord for your concern. Although Du Ming's face in the wheelchair was a little pale, he couldn't see tiredness at all in his expression, and he was as personable as ever, and arched his hand, "Now is an eventful time, and every little thing may be related to the future development of Brocade City, and it must not be underestimated." There is time to recuperate, so let's deal with the problems at hand first. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Du. Zhang Lu took a deep look, "However, even if there are many things, you must rest when you should rest, Aunt Ying, Uncle Du, as well as Grandpa Sun and Uncle Song, you have worked hard, let's disperse today." ”
"Lord of the Castle. Du Ming's ban has been lifted, Song Bin can finally speak, and at this time he arched his hand and said, "There is one more thing, about the defense of the city, to be exact, it is aimed at that person, should we increase the defense to prevent him from adding further incidents?"
"Uncle Song, I just said that this matter is over, there is no need to mention it again, have you forgotten?" Zhang Lu's face floated with a smile that was extremely familiar to all four people present, it was a smile that belonged to a crow alone, "Or, Uncle Song, are you questioning my decision?"
"The subordinates don't dare. Swept by Zhang Lu's gaze, Song Bin suddenly had the illusion that he was facing a crow, this feeling made a layer of cold sweat on his back, and said with an embarrassed wry smile, "This matter is over, my subordinates understand." ”
"Good. The cold aura exuded by Zhang Lu instantly converged, and she returned to her doll-like posture, and said with a smile, "It's not too early, the meeting is over." ”
Several important ministers bowed and bowed, and each of them retreated without saying a word, Zhang Lu listened to the sound of the door opening and closing, staring blankly at the night sky outside the office window, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, the girl sighed and said in a low voice, "Uncle Du, I was really surprised. ”
"I'm sorry. Du Ming in the wheelchair didn't leave at all, no need for Zhang Luduo to say, Du Ming stayed very consciously, and was smiling at this time, "The old minister is not dead." ”
"I was taken aback when you sent me to inform me this morning. Zhang Lu turned his head and sighed to Du Ming, "I thought it was ......."
"The third young master knows that the fourth young lady is ...... No, it should be said that it is difficult for you to control the old minister, so it was really a surprise last night. Du Ming did not hide his confidence and arrogance at all, he knew very well how to deal with the heir to the mantle of the crow, so he said very frankly, "However, the third young master, he finally decided to make a deal with the old minister. ”
"Do you mind if I hear it?" Hearing his brother's name, Zhang Lu's expression moved slightly, and he asked with some expectation, "However, if it's my brother's secret, forget it." ”
"Of course not, the third young master originally wanted to inform the city lord of you through the mouth of the old minister. Du Ming did not hide it, "There are two conditions offered by the third young master, the first is naturally the life of the old minister, as for the second, it is to allow the Du family to start expanding outward after twenty years, and the expansion can be fully supported by the brocade city, and when the old minister thinks it is needed, as long as the third young master is alive, he will personally come to assist the old minister and make every effort to clear the obstacles to safety." In the end, when the time is ripe and the city lord has found a candidate who can replace the Du family, he will peacefully hand over all the business of the Du family. ”
"Expanding outward?" Zhang Lu was stunned, "Where to expand?"
"Hehe, naturally it's a wasteland. Du Ming said with great fascination, "The Third Young Master promised to assist the old minister's family in building a brand new city, of course, this requires the approval of the city lord." ”
"My brother's promise is my promise, and it will always be, and since he said that Damask City will fully support it, then I will not have any reservations. Zhang Lu made a promise without even thinking about it, "Since my brother has offered such tempting conditions, there are naturally corresponding requirements." ”
"Yes, the old minister also has to pay the price. Du Ming pointed to himself, "The price of the old minister is himself, even if the new city has begun to be built, as long as the Du family has not left the brocade city, the old minister will serve the city lord wholeheartedly, not like before, but wholeheartedly." ”
