Shen Youlong asked: "Mr. Zhao can confidently persuade Li Zhaoji, it seems that he prefers yellow and white things to official positions." ”

Zhao Wenji smiled and could only say: "Students can only try reluctantly, and they can't be sure." ”

As a staff member, Zhao Wenji's speech is still very beautiful, leaving Shen Youlong with plenty of face, in fact, he is not unsure, but not at all, even what he said just now that entering the Governor's Standard Camp is a good future, he just said that he came to listen.

The fact is that entering Shen Youlong's Governor Biaoying as an official has no good future at all.

Unlike generals from local guard families such as Lin Cha, the governor Shen Youlong was a liuguan sent by the imperial court, and although he had the power to establish his own standard battalion, when he lost his position as governor, his battalions would be disbanded.

Li Zhaoji is not from the Wei Institute, if the standard camp where he is located is disbanded, he will have no more to rely on, where will he have any way to live at that time?

Therefore, in Zhao Wenji's view, Li Zhaoji may be aware of this, so he is reluctant to ask for any official position, and insists on the two foreign ships.

"Mr. Zhao......." The scribe's voice rang out outside.

Zhao Wenji walked outside the door and talked to the scribe.

Shen Youlong peeled the lychee, and when he heard Zhao Wenji talking, he didn't really hear it, but he also heard his surprised look.

"Mr. Zhao, what's going on?" Shen Youlong saw Zhao Wenji coming and asked with a smile.

Zhao Wenji said: "Dong Weng, Chen Ping is back? ”

"Ah, he's finally back." Shen Youlong was extremely happy and said, "Where is the person, let him in quickly." ”

Zhao Wenji was a little embarrassed, Shen Youlong saw him with such a look, so he asked, "Mr. Zhao, why do you look like this?" ”

"Chen Ping seems to be injured, and outside the county yamen, when he came to visit, he met Li Zhaoji's personal entourage, but he beat the other party, so dissolute, it is really a bit too much." Zhao Wenji said.

Shen Youlong was slightly stunned, it was indeed rare to beat someone in front of the county yamen, and it was Li Zhaoji's person who beat him.

Shen Youlong thought for a while and asked, "Does Chen Ping know that person is Li Zhaoji's personal entourage?" ”

The scribe said that it was because he knew that the person was Li Zhaoji's personal entourage that Chen Ping wanted to beat people. said that Chen Ping first returned to Guangzhou, and when he heard that he was promoted to the head of Qian, he immediately came to Xin'an County to thank him, and gave the porter a lot of money, which was quite high-spirited.

At this time, Li Zhaoji's personal entourage came, and Chen Ping heard that it was Li Zhaoji's men, so he immediately beat him and beat the man away before giving up. Zhao Wenji said.

Shen Youlong shook his head directly: "Don't blame you first, Chen Ping is like this, there must be something inside, let him come in and speak." ”

Not long after, Chen Ping was invited into the study where Shen Youlong was, and when he entered it, Chen Ping immediately made a big salute, and Shen Youlong was quite enthusiastic about him, and said, "Hurry up, move a chair for Mr. Chen Qian." ”

"In front of my lords, where is there a seat for lowly duties?" Chen Ping lowered his head and said.

Shen Youlong suddenly said in a cold voice: "Why not, you dare to beat people in front of the county yamen, and it is Li Zhaoji's personal entourage, do you know that Li Zhaoji is now working in this official curtain?" ”

Chen Ping was shocked, knelt on the ground and said: "I really don't know about the lowly position, if the lowly position knows, no matter how much I hate that Li Zhaoji, I don't dare to beat his relatives." ”

When Shen Youlong heard the word hate, he immediately became interested and said: "It is rumored among the people that it was you, Chen Ping, and Li Zhaoji of the Oriental Trading Company who conquered the Wailingding Island, where the four pirates imprisoned the people. ”

Chen Ping immediately said: "Your Excellency the Governor, it is not a day or two since you have known Li Zhaoji. This is a habit of being insidious, maneuvering between various forces to make profits. On that day, it was discovered that the pirates had imprisoned the people on the outer islands, and they were afraid that the news would be delayed and the fighters would be delayed, so they had no choice but to join hands with Li Zhaoji.

Who would have thought that this guy would plunder everywhere as soon as he got on the island, if it wasn't for the humble duty to kill the thief leader at the first time, I am afraid that it would have to suffer a lot of losses, even so, there were only five people left in the more than ten brothers who fought with the humble position. How can the lowly not hate him? ”

"He is not an official soldier in the end, and he is also rough in doing things. In the future, if you mention him more, the official has already decided to promote you to the head of Qian, and let Li Zhaoji be your deputy, and you will all work in the official standard camp, how about it? Shen Youlong asked.

Chen Ping kowtowed continuously, first thanking him, and then saying: "Your Excellency, a villain like Li Zhaoji must not be included in the standard camp. This wolf's ambition, if he gains power in the future, it will become a disaster, I am along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, a Zheng Zhilong is already a big tail, if there is another one, how to get it?

Promoting Li Zhaoji is by no means a blessing for me. ”

Shen Youlong saw Chen Ping say this, but he felt that Chen Ping was more usable, and he was more convinced of getting rid of Li Zhaoji.

Shen Youlong didn't show it, but looked at Zhao Wenji, he knew that Zhao Wenji had always valued Li Zhaoji very much, although he also had the idea of being wary of Li Zhaoji, but he still thought that Li Zhaoji was available.

"Chen Ping, you don't want to talk nonsense in front of the Governor." Zhao Wenji reprimanded: "During this period of time, Li Zhaoji handled the salary affairs and dealt with Yidi for the governor in the curtain, which is very useful, and it is also for the court and the governor to make meritorious contributions. ”

Chen Ping knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "What Li Zhaoji did must be for himself, he has wolf ambitions, so he has to guard against it." ”

Shen Youlong asked lightly: "Then in your opinion, how to deal with Li Zhaoji, he is a meritorious person." ”

"To kill, not to kill is to leave a curse." Chen Ping said.

"The official said that he is a meritorious person." Shen Youlong said again.

Chen Ping clenched his fists: "Today's merits are all used by him, the higher his status in the future, the greater the disaster, how can he cultivate such a big disaster because of a little credit?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Ping knelt down again and said earnestly: "I have long heard that the Governor is benevolent and righteous, even if Li Zhaoji has a little merit, the Lord must also be rewarded, and it is really against the way of loyalty and forgiveness of the Lord to let the Lord kill a person who has meritorious." I am willing to do all kinds of difficult things for adults! ”

Shen Youlong smiled, and said in his heart that Chen Ping would not be born in Lin Cha's own soldiers, let alone be a person who was accepted by Lin Cha as a righteous son, and his virtues were the same.

"What you said, this official just thinks that the wind has passed by. You go to the standard camp military affairs first, as for Li Zhaoji, the official doesn't want to do anything to him for the time being, and look at it again, you also take care of him for the officer, don't let him really become a big trouble. Shen Youlong said to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping hurriedly argued: "Your Excellency, what you just said about Li Zhaoji is all heartfelt words, and they are all for your lord and the imperial court. ”

Shen Youlong waved his hand: "Don't say it again, let this official think about it carefully."

By the way, you go and tell Lin Cha that the matter of him accepting you as a righteous son is over, and you are still surnamed Chen, and you will be the head of Zuo Ying Qianzong of this official in the future, and it has nothing to do with him Lin Cha. ”

Chen Ping immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your cultivation, and you will be determined to die for your adult in the future." ”

After Chen Ping retreated, Shen Youlong asked Zhao Wenji: "Mr. Zhao thinks what Chen Ping said makes sense?" ”

Zhao Wenji was speechless for a while, and said: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, students have only known Li Zhaoji for ten months after all, and this person is a resourceful person at a glance, and he may not be able to see through it." ”

Shen Youlong laughed, and said in his heart that Chen Ping's appearance this time made the stubborn Zhao Wenji change, but it could be regarded as a good thing and played a role.

Zhao Wenji saw Shen Youlong smile and asked, "Then how did Dong Weng settle Li Zhaoji?" ”

Shen Youlong smiled and picked up the teacup: "But I will wait until the English red hair is finished." ”

In the middle of the broken courtyard.

"Brother Chen said that the Governor should have believed it, and he has appointed him as the general manager of the standard camp, and asked him to spy on you. Now the eldest brother has gone to see Lin Cha, and according to your instructions, he pretends to be very arrogant. Zhao Dahe seriously repeated what Chen Ping was going to say to Li Zhaoji.

Li Zhaoji nodded slightly, but his face was gloomy, he sent Chen Ping to test Shen Youlong, and now it seems that Shen Youlong is indeed going to be unfavorable to himself.

After thinking about it, Li Zhaoji said to Zhao Dahe: "Go and tell Liu Shun and let him clean up, if Zheng Fusong doesn't come to invite me today, let's leave overnight, this is already a place of right and wrong." ”

As soon as Zhao Dahe was about to do it, he heard a few bird calls from the other side of the courtyard, which was calling Li Zhaoji.

Li Zhaoji hurriedly went out, stood on the edge of the courtyard wall, and listened to Liu Shun on the other side.

"The big shopkeeper, Zheng Fusong is here in person." Liu Shun said.

Li Zhaoji's gloomy face finally showed joy, he looked at Zhao Dahe, and said, "Dahe, do you have wine on you?" ”

"Yes, Brother Chen brought a pot with him when he came. I waited here on duty, not daring to drink, for fear that my brothers would drink secretly, so I hid in the fire pit in the kitchen. Zhao Dahe said, and immediately took it.

Li Zhaoji took the wine jug, first took a big sip, and then spilled the rest of the wine all over his body, and then with the help of the big tree, he climbed over the wall to the rented courtyard.

Therefore, when Zheng Fusong entered the room, he saw a drunken Li Zhaoji, who was confused with his eyes, a pair of chopsticks and peanuts on the table.

"Brother Li, why did you drink like this?" When Zheng Fusong saw Li Zhaoji like this, he suddenly felt sorry in his heart and asked.

Li Zhaoji threw off his chopsticks and said loudly: "I, Li Zhaoji, have ambitions that are difficult to stretch, and ambitions that are difficult to ........" ”

As he spoke, he stood up, but he staggered to the ground and fell on his back.

"Look at what you are doing, hurry up and make some decanting soup." Zheng Fusong scolded his relatives behind him, and the frightened people crawled away.

Zheng Fusong helped Li Zhaoji to sit down, sighed and said, "It's all my .......fault for you, it's all my fault." ”
