Chapter 399: Dinner
At this point in time, there were so many subordinate officials up and down in Xizhou City. If you want to say that there are no cats in it, dogs don't believe it.
Zhang Zheng didn't believe it either. Needless to say, a subordinate official in Xizhou must be
"Forced" by Xu Jingzong's obscenity, he didn't dare to get close to himself. But these subordinate officials may have forgotten that Xu Jingzong, as the leader of this Xizhou City, can handle them.
Can't you be the second-in-command? Send someone to scare them first. As the saying goes, it is better to bully a gentleman than to provoke a villain.
Xu Jingzong is not a gentleman, but at least he is still within the rules. And Zhang Zheng is different, Zhang Zheng is a gentleman.
The twenty-year-old gentleman is the year of fighting. Can't do it? Then don't do it! Isn't flipping the table a very normal operation for a gentleman?
Watching the guards gradually move away, Zhang Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, recovering that warm smile again.
The subordinate officials of the Xizhou Assassin Mansion can not come, but Xu Jingzong and Jiang Gan must arrive. Zhang Zheng didn't believe that these two would save his face.
If Xu Jingzong and Jiang Gan didn't even come to their housewarming banquet, it meant that they really planned to tear their faces with Zhang Zheng.
Returning to the main seat of the auditorium and sitting down, Zhang Zheng was not even interested in the big cats and kittens in front of him.
And several subordinate officials of the Assassin Mansion who came to the banquet were also very clear about their position in Xizhou. They are all little people who can't be on the edge anymore, and naturally they won't come up to Zhang Zheng to ask for themselves.
But there is no deception of this person, since he entered the door, he has been very indifferent, neither flattering Zhang Zheng, nor talking to the surrounding officials, pouring himself a drink, quite a bit of letting him storm and I am comfortable and unmoving.
Zhang Zheng glanced at Su Wuxuan's face with interest. The detailed information of this person, long before Zhang Zheng arrived in Xizhou, Qiu Shisan found out all the contexts behind this person.
Who would have thought that Su Wuwu, who has a good reputation for protecting the officials, is actually an epic figure who eats everything in black and white in secret?
Now he has become the second or fifth boy of the Tang Dynasty, and the three surnamed slaves are nothing more than that. Perhaps, this person can also make a fuss.
………… When it was dark, Xu Jingzong finally arrived late under the escort of his entourage.
"Oh, nephew Zhang Xian, the old man is busy with official business, so he has to come late, and he asks the virtuous nephew to atone for his sins." Before he could take a step, Elder Xu Jingzong arched his hand towards Zhang Zheng from a distance, his face full of apologies.
If you let the unwitting see it, you really think how busy he is with official business. Zhang Zheng led several subordinate officials of the Assassin Mansion who came to the county mansion for a banquet today and waited in front of the gate of the county mansion.
Seeing Xu Jingzong's posture, all the officials, including Su Wubuli, subconsciously twitched the corners of their mouths.
"What is my uncle talking about, my uncle can come, and my little nephew is already very happy." Zhang Zheng also didn't blush and his heart didn't beat when he talked nonsense, and he was disgusted, so he greeted him with a happy encounter.
When Zhang Zheng welcomed Xu Jingzong into the auditorium and sat down, he heard the report from the guards that Jiang Gan, the commander of Xizhou, had arrived.
So Zhang Zheng rushed to the door to greet Jiang Gan non-stop. Just the first time he saw Jiang Gan, Zhang Zheng was subconsciously stunned.
It stands to reason that Jiang Gan can climb to the position of a middle-ranking general in the Tang Army as a pawn at this age, even if he is not as high-spirited as a young man, at least he should have some calm and introverted general demeanor.
But the moment Zhang Zheng greeted Jiang Gan, he didn't see these things on Jiang Gan. Instead, he saw a rotten drunkard with red eyes and a haggard face.
When Jiang Gan saw Zhang Zheng, before he could speak, he burped at Zhang Zheng. An indescribable smell instantly penetrated Zhang Zheng's nasal cavity.
The faint joy in Zhang Zheng's heart was also ruined by Jiang Gan's appearance of a rotten drunkard.
"Come on, help Jiang Duwei enter the door." Zhang Zheng did not hide the disgust on his face, pinched his nose and ordered the guards on the side.
And after Jiang Gan saw the disgust on Zhang Zheng's face, he couldn't help but laugh at himself faintly: "Hehe, you don't have to bother with your uncle's personal guards, so... Some... I can walk by myself. After speaking, he pushed away the two hands that were about to support him, and then staggered into the gate of the county uncle's mansion.
didn't salute Zhang Zheng, let alone look at Zhang Zheng more. Zhang Zheng looked around the door, the disgust on his face instantly converged, and when Jiang Gan walked away, he asked the guard who reported to him, "Jiang Gan is here alone?" ”
"Back to Uncle, Jiang Duwei only brought two guards, and his subordinates have already arranged for them to eat in the side hall." Hearing this, the guard hurriedly replied to Zhang Zheng.
Hearing this, Zhang Zheng showed a smile on his face and replied: "Well, it's hard work, no one will come later, you can also go to the side hall for dinner." ”
"Yes, my subordinates can save it." Leaving the guard, Zhang Zheng followed the stumbling Jiang Gan into the auditorium from a distance.
And as long as Zhang Zheng saw Jiang Gan's back, he couldn't help but show disgust in his eyes. This disgust is naturally not really disgust.
It's just that under this kind of scene, Zhang Zheng must make this gesture. Otherwise, how can you show your own demeanor?
Not to mention that the old fox Xu Jingzong is still in the auditorium. He thought that Jiang Gan had been calculated by him to abuse the Zou State Mansion, and he had received the military power in his hands, so he would no longer look at Jiang Gan, who was no longer useful.
But Zhang Zheng was about to be taken by surprise. With the three most powerful people in Xizhou seated, the dinner party in the county mansion officially began.
Just looking at the shabby scene at the moment, the prepared seats were almost two-thirds empty, and it was hard to imagine that this was actually a housewarming banquet for a king.
Perhaps yesterday's Assassin's Mansion Reception Banquet came from Xu Jingzong's dismount, and it was not until today that it officially showed its effect.
But Zhang Zheng doesn't care, Xu Jingzong doesn't care, Jiang Gan and Suo Wubao and a group of inconsequential marginal officials don't matter.
The dinner was very simple, and Zhang Zheng used the meal sharing system commonly used in Datang. Naturally, there is no singing and dancing. With such a banquet that tastes like chewing wax, the officials who come to take up their posts naturally have no intention of eating.
So throughout the banquet, everyone only heard the sound of Jiang Gan calling for wine. And every time Jiang Gan let the guards of the county mansion drink, Zhang Zheng looked at Jiang Gan with a look of disgust in his eyes.
And Zhang Zheng's clear love and hatred are all in the eyes of Xu Jingzong, who is the old god on the side.
Xu Jingzong's eyes were smiling, Zhang Zheng may be smart enough, but he is still too young after all. Jiang Gan was unhappy in Xizhou, although it was all caused by him, but he had never looked at Jiang Gan with this kind of eyes.
Because he knows the truth of leaving a line in everything. At the moment, Zhang Zheng still doesn't understand this truth. However, Xu Jingzong did not remind him of his meaning.
Young people, it's a good thing to suffer more......
