The master has seen a lot of officials who can make money, but it is the first time he has seen an official who can make three million taels a year, and he was immediately shocked, and his admiration was out of control.

was eating a banquet, touting Zhang Xiu, and a servant came in and said, "Master, there is an old man outside, saying that it is our master and his father." ”

Zhang Xiu suddenly showed a surprised expression: "It's really a big world, your master, is actually raised by his parents?" ”

The master's cheeks twitched imperceptibly a few times, and he smiled forcefully: "Master, you eat slowly first, and the villain will go out to have a look." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

After a while, the master led an old man and a young man in, and introduced to Zhang Xiu with a smile: "Master, this is my grandfather's father, Mrs. Bai, and next to me is my grandfather's second brother, Bai Yi." ”

The old lady Bai has gray hair and kind eyes, and she is about to kowtow when she sees Zhang Xiu: "The grass people knock to see the old man Qingtian!" ”

The master hurriedly held him up, crying and laughing: "This Governor Zhang is the Jinhua Governor, and he is at the same level as your son, so the old lady doesn't have to make this big gift." ”

Then he smiled bitterly and said to Zhang Xiu, "The old lady has been living in the countryside, don't be surprised, big man." ”

Zhang Xiu said with some doubts: "Master, why did you bring the old lady to me?" ”

The master laughed dryly: "My master ordered it, anyway, the three of us can't eat this sumptuous banquet." ”

Zhang Xiuwan smiled: "The master of the family is really good at budgeting, can he save 100,000 taels of silver to buy an official?" Come on, old man, please take a seat. ”

The old lady sat down tremblingly, looking restless, as if she was a little afraid of life.

The master poured him a glass of wine, picked up a chicken leg and put it on his plate, and said with a smile: "The old lady must be tired all the way, you must be tired, you eat quickly!" ”

Old lady Bai looked at the chicken legs on the plate, suddenly let out a sound, and said with a frightened face: "You eat this on weekdays?" ”

The master was confused, frowned, and said, "Yes, isn't this a chicken leg?" ”

The old lady covered her heart, and her face turned pale with fright.

In his eyes, what kind of chicken leg is on the plate, it is clearly a heart that is still beating!

The table is full of delicacies and delicacies, and in his eyes, it is all human flesh!

The old lady Bai was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat, turned her face to look at the master, and found that there was a master there, it was clearly a gray wolf with saliva and a tail wagging and wagging its tail!

"Big Lord...... help"

Old lady Bai pounced on Zhang Xiu, and she was so frightened that she almost lost her breath.

A servant on duty heard the movement and ran in, and in the eyes of the old lady Bai, it was clearly a man-eating tiger!

The old lady Bai shouted, trembling and pointing to the servant: "There is a tiger!" ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Yan Feng with a strange expression: "Brother Yan, do you see what's going on, Old Lady Bai has been tricked by illusion?" ”

Yan Feng hugged Old Lady Bai, carefully observed his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's not like, it's like a kind of Qimen spell, which can make people's eyes see things that are usually invisible." ”

"I'll do similar spells, but I can only make people see ghosts, and as for what Old Lady Bai sees in his eyes......"

Zhang Xiu glanced at the master and the servant, and after a while, he was slightly happy: "Jackals, tigers, people's fat and people's ointment, it seems that someone is joking with Old Lady Bai." ”

Yan Feng suddenly realized after hearing this, bit his finger at the center of the old lady's eyebrows, and shouted "break" in his mouth, the old lady Bai was excited, and the scene in his eyes instantly returned to normal.

The old lady Bai, who was scared out of a cold sweat, jumped wildly in her heart for a while, stood up with her hand on her chest, and sighed with a complicated expression: "Alas, what a sin......"

After getting up and saluting Zhang Xiu and thanking them, Old Lady Bai sat down again, and wiped away her tears while talking: "My eldest son Bai Jia has been smart since he was a child, and our family has worked hard and saved money for him to study. In order to make him famous, my youngest son and I still live in a mud-walled thatched hut in the countryside. ”

"I expected him to be a functional glory ancestor, who would have thought that he would actually be a man-eating jackal, tiger and leopard, now I have nothing to ask for, I just beg him not to affect his family, wife and children, even if I didn't raise him in vain."

The master was embarrassed on the side, tugged on his sleeve, and whispered: "Old lady, you are drunk, in front of Governor Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about here!" ”

Old lady Bai pushed the master away, blew her beard and glared: "Allow him to do it, don't you want me to say it!" Along the way, I heard that his palace was full of evil officials, and people who bribed people through the back door continued until late at night. ”

"Just now I saw him handing out silver tickets to people in the main hall, is this fake!"

"Tell your master, from now on I don't have a son like him! Xiao Yi, take your luggage and let's go back to your hometown! ”

Bai Yi, who was eating, sighed, put down the ribs in his hand with a reluctant face, picked up the luggage, and walked out with his old father in his arms.

The master didn't dare to step forward to stop him, and looked at Zhang Xiu for help: "Master, you can also help persuade ......."

Zhang Xiu was slightly happy: "How can I help this, does the master mean that in order to prevent your master from suffering the pain of losing his father in middle age, let this master be wronged and recognize your master's son?" ”

Master: "@#¥%¥#@......"

You don't pick!

Looking at Zhang Xiu, who didn't help to clean up the mess, the master slapped his thigh helplessly, and hurriedly ran to the main hall to report.

After eating, the banquet was withdrawn, and someone served freshly brewed tea.

Zhang Xiu skimmed the tea leaves with the lid of his cup, and said with a displeased face: "I know that this official is here, and I don't come to visit, this official Shangshu Ma goes first, it seems that he is a little ignorant, and it is in vain that my son and I are friends of life and death." ”

The corners of Yan Feng's mouth hooked slightly: "People are the head of the six Shangshu, and they are dignified and first-class officials, how could they come to meet you as a fourth-grade prefect." ”

Zhang Xiu said confidently: "But I'm still the head snake here, and I don't come to worship the pier in the same place, so I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get out of Jiangnan?" ”

Yan Feng: "......"

It's good to know some things in your heart, and it's like a bandit when you say it, my lord!!

At this time, two people in official uniforms entered the courtyard and walked towards the living room with a smile on their faces.

Yan Feng recognized the official uniform of the person in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "My lord, the official department has arrived, to kill or not to kill?" ”

Ma Xianxian's ears were bright, so he was so frightened that he staggered and stopped, stretched out his hand and waved to Bai Jia, the prefect of Hangzhou beside him, and said in a low voice: "Come and help me, my legs are weak......"

Bai Jia hurriedly stepped forward flatteringly, and laughed quietly: "It seems that the adult who served Emerald Red yesterday was very good." ”

Ma Xianxing glared at him and scolded: "What emerald red, emerald green, shut your mouth for me when you go in later!" ”

Bai Jia was confused, and he didn't know why he suddenly made him unhappy, so he had to shut his mouth depressedly.
