"Ping Guogong, it's not right for you to say that!" That Cheng Zhijie glared at a pair of bull's eyes: "I think my poor child, who has just become an adult, was driven to the bitter cold land in the northwest and patrolled the government offices in various places, is this not your idea?" ”

"You all know that if you let these people get together, how can you bear to let me and my old wife look forward to the return of our children every day!"

Tang Ping rolled his eyes speechlessly, this old man, every time he wants to make a profit from himself, he takes out the matter of going to the local government to talk about it.

I heard from Li Bai that although Cheng Chumo traveled around the country, his family had money, and he had never treated himself badly.

In more than a year, I have walked around the entire Northwest, which is delicious and fun, but I have seen a lot.

Besides, when Cheng Chumo was still in Chang'an, who didn't know that there was a small fight in three days and a big fight in five days in the Cheng family's mansion?

So what Cheng Zhijie said, Tang Ping didn't believe it at all, he estimated that it was this old man who saw something strange and wanted to play.

"Lu Guogong, it's not that I don't lend this thing to you, but this thing is really useless to you!"

Seeing that Tang Ping was indifferent, Cheng Zhijie's sad look just now suddenly disappeared.

This unique skill is comparable to the Sichuan opera changing face, and he said to Tang Ping with a smile: "Ping Guogong, how can you say that it is useless? Look at it, your baby is about to call her father, what about our family? Three sticks couldn't hit a fart, and the old man asked him if he had a favorite woman, but he didn't tell me. ”

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, you don't know how much my old wife worries about his marriage, you lend me this thing of yours today, let me go back and test it, it is considered that the old man owes you a favor."

"You're going to use this to measure silence?" Tang Ping asked.

"Yes, otherwise what do you think the old man wants to borrow this thing for?"

"Ahem......" Tang Ping coughed twice: "I think it's been a long time since I went to see Mrs. Cheng, and I haven't met since I returned to Chang'an, I wonder if Lu Guogong has leisure today?" ”

When Cheng Zhijie heard that there was a door, his face smiled: "If you are free, if you are free, then let's go, it is just time to eat, go to my house for two drinks." ”

Cheng Zhijie hooked up with Tang Ping's shoulder, and when he walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department, he didn't forget to tell him loudly: "If you are tired, you will be replaced, and you will invite the doctor to treat while fighting, just don't beat people to death!" ”

Cheng Zhijie, a big celebrity in front of Li Shimin, lives in the best area in Chang'an, and it is not too far from the Criminal Department.

The family had already gotten the news, and the door was opened to welcome Tang Ping in, which could be regarded as giving Tang Ping enough face.

"Brother Ping!" That Cheng Chumo was bored at home, and now everyone is preparing New Year's goods or something, but they can't find a few people when they go out to play, and they have been holding back at home for many days.

If it weren't for the upcoming New Year, Cheng Zhijie asked someone to escort him back, and he would still be able to spend a few days outside.

Seeing Tang Ping coming, he was naturally overjoyed.

Tang Ping said hello to him, and then went to greet Mrs. Cheng first, and when he came back, he saw that Cheng Zhijie was already putting the lie detector on Cheng Zhimo's body.

"Brother Ping, what kind of artifact is this? I heard what my father said just now, but I didn't say it clearly. ”

Looking at Cheng Chumo's curious look, Tang Ping held back a smile and said, "Don't worry, this thing doesn't hurt or itch to take, you can wait and see." Cheng Chumo didn't realize that Tang Ping came here today mainly to see his own fun, and waited for Cheng Zhijie to put the polygraph on him with peace of mind.

"Uh-huh......" Cheng Zhijie originally wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to ask, so he turned sideways and whispered to Tang Ping, who was sitting next to him, "Ping Guogong, how should I ask this thing?" ”

"Then it depends on what Lu Guogong wants to know?"

"Of course this stinky boy has a favorite woman!"

Tang Ping was surprised, pointed to the instrument over there and said, "Then you just ask directly, do you see those curves over there?" The indicators of the body's body are normal now, and if they fluctuate too much for a while, it means that he is lying. ”

After speaking, Tang Ping asked Cheng Chumo, "How?" When I went to the northwest this time, did you find any delicious food? ”

"Of course, there is!" Cheng Chumo said proudly: "It's not me who blows, the mutton over there tastes really better than our Chang'an, of course, those barbecue seasonings are indispensable, oh, by the way, there are camels!" That thing, tsk, is really delicious, this time I also brought a few back, and when Brother Ping left, I took one back for my sister-in-law and everyone in the store to taste. ”

Tang Ping raised his chin slightly, and motioned to Cheng Zhijie to look at the monitor over there, the fluctuation chart on it really didn't change much, Cheng Zhijie knew it in his heart, and began to talk to Cheng Zhimo Dong and Laxi.

Cheng Chumo rarely has his own father and Tang Ping who like to listen to what he has seen and heard, so it is also a mouthful.

"Then along the way, you haven't met the girl you like?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Cheng Zhijie suddenly asked.

"Ahem, cough, cough, cough ......" Cheng Chumo, who was drinking water to moisten his throat, choked a few times, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said haha: "Hehe, what are you asking, Dad?" How can it be? Women only affect how quickly I draw my knife! ”

Cheng Chumo didn't know that the fluctuations on the polygraph monitor behind him began to be disordered, jumping up and down.

Tang Ping also whispered in Cheng's silent ear: "The voice is weak, the eyeballs are rolling from side to side, and his hands, you see that he rubs and grinds on his knees, this must be a lie!" ”

Cheng Zhijie then asked again: "Which girl is it?" Who's the last name and what's the name? What is your family background? ”

"Ahem...... Cheng Chumo's already dark face darkened by two points: "Dad, what are you talking about?" I've said no. ”

"Stinky boy, you're going to be honest today, do you know what this thing is called? This is a lie detector brought by Ping Guogong, you just have to lie, it knows! ”

Cheng Chu was dumbfounded, he had been to the modern era once, and he knew that Tang Ping had great powers, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing?

The machine turned his head over, looked at the lie detector and couldn't see the reason, so he could only turn around and complain to Tang Ping and said, "Brother Ping, are you cheating me?" ”

"Hey, you kid, what do you mean by me cheating you? It's your father who must borrow this thing, I came today just to think about the New Year, to meet the old lady of the Cheng family, what does it have to do with me? Tang Ping shook the pot in time.

Then he asked with a gossipy face: "And what do you say you have to hide here?" When the male university gets married, you have been patrolling the yamen of various provinces for a long time, but you have made a lot of contributions, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will let you enter the court as an official in the spring of the next year, and you should also open the yamen yourself, just find a hostess! ”

The children of the current family have one more way to enter the office, that is, they patrol the yamen like Cheng Chumo, and it is really difficult for the children of the poor family to do such an errand in this era.

Only the second generation of officials like Cheng Chumo can not be afraid of the other party's threats, but also not accept bribes from the other party.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin will also give corresponding rewards according to their merits in patrolling various places, at least there is no problem in opening a government office independently.

Cheng Chumo was not a hypocritical person, and when it came to this, he honestly admitted it.

"I did meet a girl in Longyou Road......" When he said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up: "Her father is the county magistrate of Shanglu County, Tonggu County, Chengzhou, and the county order of Shanglu County illegally stole and sold the coal mines in the county, which was exposed by her father." ”

"Heh, I said that you kid stayed in Shanglu County for so long last time......"

"Dad, don't talk nonsense! I've been there for a long time...... It's because ...... It's because ...... It was because they had to cooperate with the officials sent by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to investigate the local area. ”

"Okay, okay, didn't I get tired of being together with your mother as soon as we met, otherwise where would you be a stinky boy, what would happen later? Didn't you say that you invited someone to come to Chang'an to meet me and your mother? ”

"Hey!" Cheng Chumo sighed: "At first, it was okay to hide your identity, but then as soon as I said that my father was you, people were not happy." ”

Cheng Zhijie's face darkened when he heard this, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Phew, is your father a demon king?" Those girls in Chang'an, who don't want to marry into our old Cheng family. ”

As soon as Cheng Zhijie's words fell, Cheng Chumo coughed twice: "Ahem...... Dad, Brother Ping is still here, do you believe your own boasting? ”

You must know that Cheng Zhijie is famous for being stingy in the court, so Cheng is silent...... Although it wasn't the four evils of Chang'an back then, it didn't have a good reputation, and Cheng Zhijie's words were purely gold on his face.

Tang Ping felt that if he laughed now, this merit would be gone, so he could only hold back uncomfortably, and then asked, "Why aren't you happy?" ”

"She said that their family is small, and it is not right with me, that is, I agreed, and the family will definitely not agree, anyway, people just gave me a good person card, and they ignored me." Cheng Chumo said a little depressed.

It's hard for Tang Ping to say anything about this, after all, it's the matter of the old Cheng family.

Cheng Zhijie said angrily: "Look at your little bit of interest, I'm embarrassed to say that it is my old Cheng family's species, although our old Cheng family is okay with the ancestors, but when you come to your father, isn't it still in the middle of the family?" Your mother was still the daughter of the county magistrate at the time, and she never despised your father! ”

When Cheng Chu heard this, his eyes lit up: "So Dad, do you agree?" ”

"When did I say yes? I'm just saying, our old Cheng family can pay less attention to family background, but the character and appearance or something, we must be able to pass the level of your mother and me, right? ”

"Dad, don't worry, you look the same as a fairy, and as for character, don't worry." After a few strokes of silence, Cheng pulled off the lie detector on his body.

"It just so happened that his father made up for the lack of the county order of Shanglu County, and he came to Chang'an to report on his work in the past few days, or I will invite him over now!"

"Stinky boy, look at your bear-like appearance!" Cheng Chumo said angrily: "But it's okay for you to inform me first, just say that your father and I want to invite each other to come over for a while." ”

"Yes!" Cheng Chumo was about to leave, and then suddenly stopped, looked at the polygraph and said to Tang Ping and Cheng Zhijie: "Dad, Brother Ping, the bereaved love of the house and Yu Chi Baolin are also back, or ...... If you have time, please come to the house for a get-together? ”
