Benefactor?

Hearing this title, Zhao Zhen was stunned.

In these days, in order to reverse the impression he once gave people and create the image of the prodigal son, Zhao Zhen has indeed done a lot of commendable good deeds.

However, the main business of this Guojia Village is fruit wine, and Zhao Zhen doesn't remember that he has shown favor to any fruit wine merchant.

Zhao Zhen's eyes narrowed sharply.

A few days ago, I did come into contact with the murder case in Bianliang on the street.

For example, the father and daughter who were killed by Gao Yu's father and son on the street!

Sure enough, after stopping Zhao Zhen's carriage, the old man wearing a hat gasped and saluted Zhao Zhen respectfully.

"Guo Huai, the village chief of the old Guojia Village, has seen His Royal Highness King Xin!"

"Little Lao'er, thank Your Highness for avenging the villagers of Guojia Village, the poor brother and niece of the old man!"

"Today is the last day of the funeral in Guojia Village, and on behalf of the whole Guojia Village, Lao Yu begged His Royal Highness to be able to attend the dinner on the last day."

"If His Royal Highness King Xin can attend, then presumably the poor brother and niece of the old man can also rest in peace."

As soon as Guo Huai finished speaking, Zhao Zhen completely figured out what was going on.

If he didn't make his own move, facing a high-ranking and powerful person, the people of Guojia Village really had no power to fight back.

even had to come up with a shy face and take the initiative to admit his mistakes, so that Gao Yu's father and son could be angry.

Because Gao Yu could make countless forbidden troops in Bianliang turn into mountain bandits and completely destroy this Guojia Village.

The plaque given by the emperor can stop the businessmen who want to make a fortune with the help of Guojia Village's imperial wine, but it can't stop people like Gao Yu.

Although the fruit wine is good, it is not irreplaceable for Zhao Ji.

The hundreds of lives in Guojia Village, in Zhao Ji's eyes, may not be as important as a Gao Yu.

As for Guo Huai's direct representation of the whole village, Zhao Zhen can also understand it.

After all, in this feudal era, the head of the village was often the head of the main local surname.

For example, in this Guojia Village, among the hundreds of villagers, most of them will be surnamed Guo, and Guo Huai is the patriarch of the Guo family clan.

He replaces the whole village, but he does have qualifications.

As for why Guo Huai was able to recognize himself, Zhao Zhen was not surprised.

Because Zhao Zhen has been in the limelight in the entire Bianliang and the surrounding areas of Bianliang recently, such as Guojia Village, a village that often sends tribute wine to Bianliang, it is not surprising that the people in their village can know Han Shizhong, who grabbed Gao Yu's father and son and went straight to the interior.

Through Han Shizhong, it is normal to think that the person who can drive Han Shizhong is Zhao Zhen.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Uncle Chen, Shizhong, send the carriage to the post house in Guojia Village to live and raise."

"Village Chief Guo, Lone and you will go to the deceased's spirit to have a look, but Lone can't salute the deceased, I hope Village Chief Guo can understand."

Village Chief Guo nodded, and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Xin, Lao Yu understands, Lao Yu knows that His Royal Highness King Xin can appear on the last day of the funeral, which is already the greatest honor for Guo Bai and Guo Yanhua!" ”

"On the day of today's funeral, there are still many dignitaries and businessmen who have dealings with Guojia Village, and the prince does not have to worry that the banquet in Guojia Village is not appetizing."

After saying this, Guo Huai's eyes looked at Chen Mei beside Zhao Zhen, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, "Steward Chen!" You're here in person!? ”

Chen Mei looked at Guo Huai with an expressionless face: "Village Chief Guo is a noble person who forgets a lot of things, and he still remembers the old man, which is really an honor for the old man." ”

This inexplicable yin and yang weirdness made Guo Huai a little inexplicable, but he was immediately left behind by Guo Huai.

In Guo Huai's eyes, this is probably Chen Mei, a former old acquaintance, because since the fruit wine of Guojiacun became a tribute wine, there has been no contact with him, so that this old acquaintance has a grudge.

However, Guo Huai also felt that there was something to do.

Obviously, this Chen Mei was the steward of the palace more than ten years ago, so why is she still doing the work of stewardship now.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Mei still had a bit of the previous appearance on her face, Guo Huai would not have recognized the expressionless thin middle-aged man in front of him, who was the high-spirited young man in charge more than ten years ago.

Saying this hello is just the meaning of meeting an old man.

After all, this Chen Mei seems to be still the manager of Zhao Zhen, the prince of faith, at this time.

It can only be said that Chen Mei was too good at the beginning, and the people in Guojia Village only knew that it was a prince in Bianliang who asked for their Guojia Village's fruit wine by name, without mentioning who it was.

With the ascension of Zhao Ji, the king of Duan, as the emperor, the prince who wanted Guojiacun fruit wine no longer bought fruit wine from Guojiacun.

And the fruit wine in Guojia Village, after a few months of losing big customers, became a tribute wine.

Coupled with Chen Mei, who no longer appeared, Guo Huai naturally felt that the former patron Wang Ye had lost power, but the new official family drank their wine and felt that their wine was good, so they took advantage of the situation and became a well-known tribute wine village in Bianliang.

At this time, how could Guojiacun think about the old customers again?

Busy putting aside the relationship is almost the same, how can you take the initiative to look for it?

"Steward Chen, what are you talking about, isn't this Guojia Village becoming the production area of tribute, and the whole village is busy making wine, and I hope Steward Chen doesn't take it to heart."

"Steward Chen unearthed our Guojiacun fruit wine, so that our Guojiacun fruit wine entered the great grace of Bianliang, but the old man didn't dare to forget it for a day!"

"Come, come, come! Please follow the old decay into the village, the village has been in the village these days, there have been distinguished guests, hospitality things, but there is no shortage of the same! ”

Listening to Guo Huai's polite words, Chen Mei pursed her lips and whispered: "Lord Wang, since the Lord wants to go to the appointment today to comfort the spirits of the father and daughter in the sky, the old slave feels that the Lord may not be able to take the initiative to reveal his identity. ”

"After all, there are so many protégés of Gao Yu, after a night of news transmission, I am afraid that the death of Gao Yu, who just reached the ears of the official family last night, is already known to all the powerful people in the entire Bianliang at this time."

"If the prince takes the initiative to reveal his identity, the old slave is afraid that there will be scoundrel outlaws who are bought by Gao Yu to seek revenge on the prince."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen didn't react, but Guo Huai on the side was staring wide-eyed.

blurted out: "What? Gao Dianshuai is dead? ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Chen Mei angrily, and then stared at Guo Huai with his eyes like torches and said, "Village Chief Guo, if the news of Gu's arrival in Guojia Village is only known to a few of you, then I still hope that Village Chief Guo will keep it secret for Gu for the time being." ”

"If Guo Jiacun now knows about Lonely, then Village Chief Guo, you should go back and pack up and prepare how to deal with the Imperial City Division."

Although Chen Mei's speech was indeed thinking about Zhao Zhen's safety, it also disturbed Village Chief Guo's careful thinking.

Village Chief Guo warmly invited him at this time, and it is uncertain whether he is really happy for his younger brother.

Zhao Zhen flashed from time to time in the eyes of Village Chief Guo, and between the lines, there will be countless "dignitary" things in Guojia Village today.

guessed another intention of Village Chief Guo.

That is to tie Zhao Zhen to Guojia Village and become another backer after Zhao Ji, the official of the dynasty.

When Guo Huai heard Zhao Zhen's words, his heart moved faintly.

Get.

The plan was muddy.

But there is no way, he is facing the prince, or a prince who has fallen as a courtier.

Guo Huai could only admit it.

After smiling, Guo Huai arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, the little old man knows, let the little old man shut up!" ”
