The mansion, an antique, elegant environment outside the warm pavilion.

Wearing a purple robe, wearing a crown, and an elegant bearing, Zhou Futai stood in front of the blooming lotus pond and thought about something, and when the next person came to report, Zhou Futai took a deep breath and said: "Okay, immediately lead him to see me." ”

Turning around, Zhou Futai returned to the warm pavilion, and the round table was already full of high-quality meals, with a total of more than 20 dishes, all of which were carefully prepared by Zhou Futai.

There is also a pot of a thousand days drunk, the color is like amber, the entrance is like a clear spring, a pot costs hundreds of taels of silver, and there are very few people in the city of Daze Mansion who can make him, the lord of the mansion, so hospitable.

But this is not enough, he also prepared a killer plan as he liked, and he is still 90% sure.

"Grass people Fang Ping, meet Lord Futai."

Outside the warm pavilion, Fang Ping, who had arrived, nodded at the retreating servants, and then shouted with his hands.

Zhou Futai, who was only in his early forties, walked out of the warm pavilion with a smile, and was still a little shocked when he saw the young man for the first time.

It is hard to imagine that the young man in the year of the dancing elephant has already cultivated to the middle three grades, and his strength is not below Chu Ying.

Such a martial arts talent is worthy of his condescending hospitality.

"It's better to see than to hear, a virtuous nephew is a talent, far better than those young talents in the city." Zhou Futai strode forward, grabbing Fang Ping's arm as kindly and gently as an elder, and dragged him into the warm pavilion.

Fang Ping entered the warm pavilion unchanged.

As for it, what a big deal, why don't you just kill a bandit, just give money.

"Come, nephew, please take a seat."

"The guest is as he pleases, or the Lord of Futai sits first."

"Today is the banquet of this mansion for you, so you should sit first."

Fang Ping couldn't help it, and sat down reluctantly.

"The matter of Lianjiabao before, Chu Ying mentioned it to Benfutai, thanks to your great help, Benfutai will have a drink here first." Zhou Futai raised the wine jug, and the wine flowing out of the spout was crystal clear and fragrant.

At first glance, it is a top-notch wine.

Fang Ping shook his head noncommittally, becoming more and more unable to understand the thoughts of Zhou Futai this week, a simple matter.

You give me money, and I will help you suppress the bandits, why are you so condescending and low-voiced, is it to win yourself over to work for it?

"It's better to be clear about some words."

Fang Ping got up, "The matter of Lianjiabao is all thanks to the fact that the people of Futai took the opportunity to make a decision and strategize, and Fang did not dare to ask for credit. As for going to the banquet today, Fang Mou has already thought about it, it is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of every Daxuan common person to exterminate water bandits and river thieves for the imperial court. ”

"That's a good point, you understand the righteousness so well at a young age, and after the matter is completed, this mansion will report to the court and reward you heavily."

Fang Ping wondered, was this pretending to be confused. Report to the imperial court, layer by layer, how many benefits can fall into Fang Ping's hands, "Lord Futai has a good reputation, and Fang will definitely go all out to suppress bandits, but it's just ......"

Zhou Futai clapped his palms deafly, and there was a charm of listening to me smash the cup.

After the beaded curtain veil, a came out, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with beautiful facial features, tall figure, delicate snow-white skin wearing a full-breasted skirt, graceful waist can be held in one hand, and this is still an open-minded, green silk is coiled high, a little powder, it looks more amorous, comparable to Mrs.

Fang Ping instinctively looked at the two peaks that were about to burst his clothes, and said in surprise: "This lady is ......"

"Come, I will introduce the virtuous nephew, this is my brother's wife, the elder brother died early, leaving a widowed sister-in-law and young son, this mansion can't bear to be lonely and helpless, so he received support from the house." Zhou Futai said eloquently, describing the identity of the woman.

"What a miserable woman. But what does it have to do with me? Isn't it going to challenge my weakness? "Fang Ping doesn't think that he has a weakness, after practicing martial arts, he will be flawless, and the pleasure brought by the sublimation of martial arts is the great desire of people.

"The slave Xue family, I have seen the son." The hard-working lady, with her beautiful style, saluted Fang with picturesque eyebrows, and looked at Fang Ping, her cheeks flew over a ball of red glow.

"I can't help it, madam, please get up, you are an elder, and you have tormented Fang." Fang Ping replied with a salute.

Xue Shi looked at Zhou Futai, she also refused at first, but she couldn't stand Zhou Futai Xiaozhi with reason and emotion.

"Sister-in-law, come and sit, Fang Xian's nephew is the dragon and phoenix, and he understands the righteousness, there are still a lot of things to deal with in this mansion, and there is Sister-in-law Lao to entertain Fang Xian's nephew for me." Zhou Futai left the warm pavilion.

Fang Ping could feel the atmosphere become awkward.

"What a Futai adult, he is not willing to spend money, but he is willing to use his sister-in-law......"

Fang Ping's distraction, Xue's body was full of incense, and his posture was seductive.

Finding that Fang Ping was indifferent, the Xue family bit his silver teeth and said with a flushed face: "Young Master Fang is willing to enter with the slave family." ”

"Sister-in-law, why bother." Fang Ping sighed, and said with a distance: "Fang Moujie, thanks to the attention of Lord Futai, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, please let Mrs. Sister-in-law tell Lord Futai." The day when the 50,000 taels of silver was delivered, it was the day Fang set out to suppress the bandits. ”

There was no point in staying any longer, and Fang Ping disappeared into the warm pavilion with a gust of wind.

Xue's eyes were complicated, with both happiness and gratitude.

All the way out of the mansion, Fang Ping was relaxed.

Chu Ying came out of nowhere, this woman might just be outside the mansion to watch the excitement, and when she saw Fang Ping walking out of the mansion, the first thing she said was, "Why is it so fast?" Lord Futai didn't keep you? ”

"What do you want me to do, what do you say about me?" Fang Ping looked at each other angrily, that Zhou Futai was reluctant to spend money, but he wanted his sister-in-law to come out, and he just listened to Chu Ying's suggestion.

"I didn't say anything, Lord Futai asked you what you like, how can I convince you to sell the bandits, I replied casually, and mentioned the matter of your abduction of Lian Feihu's wife."

And that doesn't say anything? Enough said!

Fang Ping's face was gloomy, fortunately, this was just a farce, it didn't hurt, "Don't arrange others next time, be careful that others are also orchestrating you behind your back." ”

Chu Ying snorted: "Not next time, how can you say about the bandits?" ”

"Fifty thousand taels of silver! Give me fifty thousand taels of silver, and I will fight the bandits with you. Fang Ping thought for a moment and added: "If there is the spoils of war during the bandits, I want fifty percent of the court tax silver robbed by the water bandits." ”

Chu Ying gasped, this is a bit much, 50,000 taels of silver, and the Lord of Futai can still take it out, but it is a bit difficult for a strong man to ask for fifty percent of the loot.

The water bandits and river thieves on the Grand Canal robbed merchant ships day after day, year after year, and the accumulated gold and silver treasures were unknown. Normally, after the bandits and water bandits are suppressed, these things belong to the imperial court, and they must be handed over to the state capital, or confiscated and put into the warehouse.

"Did Lord Futai agree to your request?"

"No, you can tell him as it is." Fang Ping raised his hand and walked into the distance, "If there is a reply, come and inform me." ”
