Chapter 20: The Minister of the Humerus
"Dangdangdang", just after the three of them walked into the dining room and sat down, a soothing and polite knock came from the door of the suite. www.biquge.info The crow's ears moved, and he suddenly chuckled a few times and raised his voice, "Come in, the door is unlocked." ”
The door opened silently, and the metal food cart walked silently on the thick carpet, behind which a dignified, well-dressed female waiter pushed the cart with a smile on her face, followed by an older man. The man was about fifty years old, wearing a pure white peach leaf continental dress, a gray silk handkerchief pinned to his breast pocket, and the black leather shoes under his feet were polished, giving people the overall feeling that he was personable and full of the charm of a mature man.
Seeing the man who walked in together, the crow secretly winked at the two ladies, stood up and said with a smile, "The little nephew is here to feast, but I didn't expect to disturb Uncle Du, it's really rude, sin, sin." ”
"Lao Chen has seen the third young master. "'Uncle Du' quickly took a few steps forward, bowed deeply to the crow, and said with a straight face, "I am the courtiers of the young city lord, and you are really tormenting the old minister when you say such things." ”
"Hehe, Uncle Du, you are still so polite. The crow was kind, took the hand of 'Uncle Du', pulled him to the dining table and said, "Introduce the two of you, this Uncle Du Ming is a friend of my father's life, the patriarch of the Du family, and the minister of our humerus in Brocade City, it is not too much to say that he is the most important person in Brocade City." Five generations of Uncle Du's family have served Brocade City for more than a hundred years, and now they are heartbroken with the family members for Brocade City's foreign trade. It can be said that the prosperity of Brocade City today is absolutely inseparable from their efforts. Uncle Du, these two are the help I invited for this wolf disaster, the two high-level mercenaries Ms. Rose and the female Leopard Ms., don't look at the two ladies are young, but their strength is absolutely strong, with their assistance, the safety of Brocade City can be completely guaranteed this time, and the city guards will not suffer heavy losses like last time. ”
"Young city lord, you say this, the old minister is really ashamed. Du Ming bowed to the crow again, then turned to the two ladies and said, "It is really a blessing for Brocade City to have the assistance of two strong men, and those children of the city guards can finally be a little easier." ”
"Ah, speaking of the city guards...... crow looked full of guilt, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Du, today's matter of Brother Du Yan is really ......"
"That rebel is not divided into small and big losses, he is simply innocent, this is your quick move, otherwise when I know, I will also kill him with my own hands. Du Ming said with a straight face, "Young City Lord, you don't have to feel unhappy about this matter at all, I definitely support your approach." ”
"Whew, that's great that you understand. The crow took a long breath and said with a sad face, "But I am still full of apologies to you and your family, so I let them make up for Brother Du Yan's body with the highest standard, I hope that Uncle you can bury him, which can be regarded as making up for the guilt in my heart." ”
"Hmph, this rebel son is simply a shame for the family, and he is not qualified to enter the ancestral grave for burial. Du Ming said indignantly, "I have ordered his body to be dragged out of the city and exposed to the wilderness to make an example." ”
"Uncle Du, this is your mistake. The crow's face sank, and he frowned, "In any case, Brother Du Yan has also made great contributions to Brocade City, and he is considered a hero of the city, you treat him like this, it may seem that my Brocade City is too cold-blooded, so I still ask Uncle Du to look at my face and withdraw the order to bury Brother Du Yan." ”
"The old minister obeyed. Du Ming hesitated slightly, bowed down and said, "Then bury this rebel in the city cemetery, which can be regarded as a compromise choice." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Du, for your understanding. Only then did the crow regain his smile and nodded, "In this way, Brother Du Yan can also smile at Jiuquan." ”
"Young City Lord, the old minister is here today to ask you, the mansion of the two ladies is ready, and the reception banquet has also been prepared. Du Ming said in a low voice, "When do you see it being held?"
"Heh, don't be in a hurry for now, the two ladies don't like this kind of thing so much, and we can't turn our kindness into a burden for them. The crow smiled and said, "That's it, clean up the mansion before tomorrow, the two ladies can move over whenever they want, as for the reception banquet, I will prepare a family banquet in the city lord's mansion tomorrow, and then invite a few uncles and brothers to come over to get together, so that the two sides can get to know each other, and it can be regarded as a good reception for the two ladies." ”
"That's ...... It's good. Du Ming thought for a while, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the old minister will not disturb the banquet guests of the young city lord, and he will retire." ”
"Uncle Laud made a special trip. The crow nodded and said with a smile, "No." ”
Seeing Du Ming leave with the waiter pushing the empty food cart, the crow nodded thoughtfully, a bright smile appeared on his face again, and turned to the two ladies and said, "Sorry to disturb the two of you in dining." ”
"No, on the contrary, it's still fun to watch a movie. Rose held her chin with an indifferent face, and said lightly, "This is the most powerful person in your Brocade City?"
"The most powerful is not the most powerful, but at least the most powerful. The crow shrugged and said, "The Du family's sphere of influence covers at least one-third of all areas of Brocade City. ”
"In charge of foreign trade. Rose said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid there are a lot of private soldiers." ”
"Of course, you have to ensure the safety of the official caravan, and you can't mobilize the city guard every time, so private soldiers are indispensable. The crow nodded with a smile on his face, "But there are not many of them, more than seventy people, which is almost one-third of the total number of private soldiers of each family in Brocade City." ”
"Seems to be a very measured person. Rose sneered and said, "Something happened to his son?"
"Huh. Raven chuckled and said, "In the morning, I killed him." ”
"Hey. When the female leopard heard this, she reacted and exclaimed, "You killed someone's son with your own hands, and then chatted with someone else here as if nothing had happened?"
"Why not? It's not a contradiction. The crow sneered, "A son is a son, a family is a family, interests are interests, status is status, if he can't even distinguish between these, there is no need for him to enter politics, and it is much easier to go home and open a hotel than now." ”
"You guys are in their brains. The female leopard pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "If it were me, I would have rushed up and tore you with my own hands." ”
"So, he's not you. The crow blinked mysteriously, "Now that the food has been served, let's try it together, the food of our Damask City." ”
"Before I do that, I have one more thing I want to confirm. Rose insisted on asking, "There is only one question, are you ...... 'young' city lord?"
