When Xiao Jing heard the news and rushed to Zhang Zhou's house, Chen Rui was being carried out of Zhang's house.

"How so?"

When Xiao Jing heard the news, he carried Chen Rui out of the Chen family and asked the elder on the side.

The elder said with a sad face: "My lord drank too much. ”

Xiao Jing wanted to remind Chen Rui of a few words, but found that Chen Rui was drunk to death like a dead pig.

Xiao Jing waved his hand, meaning to carry the person away quickly, don't be embarrassed here, and then Xiao Jing entered the courtyard.

"Mr. Zhang......"

When Xiao Jing saw Zhang Zhou, he found that Zhang Zhou was sitting at a wine table in the main hall, on which there were peanuts, pickles and other snacks, and there were several empty wine jars next to it.

Zhang Zhou was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and he was checking them one by one, looking smug, as if he was counting money.

Wang Mingshan, who was behind Zhang Zhou, looked at Xiao Jing with a vigilant gaze.

Probably afraid that Xiao Jing was here to grab something.

"Grandpa Xiao? Doesn't it mean that there is no leisure? How to get there? Zhang Zhou smiled and got up to greet him.

"I heard that Uncle Ping Jiang came empty-handed, and our family thought that he wouldn't know how to do things, so I wanted to come over and remind ......"

Xiao Jing said, still looking at the paper in Zhang Zhou's hand.

Roughly speaking, it looks like a deed, an IOU, or something like that.

Zhang Zhou smiled and beckoned Xiao Jing to sit down and said: "Pingjiangbo is still very hospitable, he took his own wine and sent it specially to him, saying that he wanted to get drunk before resting, but he didn't drink a few jars, he got drunk first!" When I was drunk, he said that he wanted to send me something, made a list, and signed it. ”

"You!"

Only then did Xiao Jing know that what Zhang Zhou had in his hand was a gift from Chen Rui.

"Unheard of, he ...... What did he give? ”

Xiao Jing became more and more curious.

Zhang Zhoudao: "He heard that it was very inconvenient for me to travel, and said that he had a big Wanliang horse in the Western Regions and could travel thousands of miles a day, and I didn't know if he was bragging, anyway, he said that he would send me a horse-drawn carriage." ”

"Da Wan Liangju pulls the carriage ......" Xiao Jing smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It seems that he still has a heart." ”

Suddenly, Xiao Jing realized that with such a pile of "IOUs" in Zhang Zhou's hand, there should be more than just a good horse, but also something else.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "This one, it is said that he got a beauty in the Western Regions, with a graceful body, a light dancing posture and a crisp voice, which was given to him by the king of Turpan when he was in Yansui, he said that since there is a good horse for heroes, a good horse should also carry a beauty, and he will send it to me when he sends a good horse." ”

"This ......"

When Xiao Jing heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhou with a narrow gaze.

Aren't you uncommon with this tune?

Chen Rui sent it, it's right for your appetite!

This time, Zhang Zhou didn't hide it, and showed the remaining few "IOUs" to Xiao Jing: "I said that I have a wife and children at home, and it is inconvenient to accept beauties, and he said that there is a mansion in the capital, which was just renovated last year, and gave it to me together. I said that there is nothing to hide from a beauty...... He answered and said that Wang Weining had sent me a granddaughter, and he also had a new widow, who would also be sent to me. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Jing was taken aback, "New widow? This...... You have it all. ”

"Of course I don't want to, but he has to give, drunk, and said that if I don't take it, I look down on him, he said that he doesn't want any name, just give me a maid, carry a night pot, bring a footbath or something, and say that you don't need to keep it at home, it's just right to keep it in the house...... If you sign the deed of sale, you can't stop it......"

“……”

Xiao Jing thought to himself that the new realm of receiving gifts was eye-opening.

Is this still the Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui he knows?

So unprincipled?

Zhang Zhou continued: "He also said that he would give me 2,000 taels of silver tattoo with the house to buy furniture and renovate bricks and tiles. He asked me how much I had in the Jingtian house, and I said that he only had a house, but no land, and he said that he had 200 hectares of fertile land near the left side of the Jingshi, and that he usually had tenants to rent seeds, and he wanted to send them to me, and he would go back to get the land deed or something, and he gave me the arrears first......

Xiao Jing swallowed and said, "Mr. Zhang, it doesn't sound like you're accepting gifts, as if you're going to bankrupt him?" ”

Xiao Jingxin said, our family can see it.

This is taking advantage of him to get drunk, talk in a hurry, and empty his family property step by step.

In terms of means, you are still a clever person.

Zhang Zhou was curious: "Is this all he has at home?" I was ordered to ask him for it, and His Majesty clearly told me not to be polite, I was already very polite, so should I also accept the two thousand taels of silver? ”

"You can laugh, you can take as much as you want, as long as he is willing to give, just ......"

Xiao Jing hesitated.

Zhang Zhoudao: "It's just because this is what he promised me recently, and he will repay the debt when he turns back, right?" By the way, he also said that he would give me twelve servants and maids, and he would give them with the house, and he also had a small rice shop in the city, which no one usually took care of, and said that he would give them to me together. Father-in-law Xiao, if he is sober, he still wants to send it, so should I accept it or not? ”

"Hiss......"

Xiao Jing took a cool breath.

With a kind of "You peeled the surname Chen clean up once, so how can I strip him in the future?" Look at it.

Xiao Jing said: "Then why don't we help you go and ask Your Majesty?" ”

"There is labor, there is labor!"

Zhang Zhou smiled and gave a bunch of IOUs to Xiao Jing.

It means that this is all the money I got from asking for bribes, since you want to ask for instructions, what you say is useless, you still have to show it to Your Majesty, and what Your Majesty asks me to take, just bring it back to me.

The rest ......

Whether to return it to Chen Rui, or how to deal with it, you can see for yourself.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Jing lowered his head and finished speaking, except for Zhu Youzhi who was looking through the various IOUs that Chen Rui had given to Zhang Zhou, Dai Yi, Chen Kuan and Wei Bin next to him were all secretly snickering, and then Wei Bin couldn't help but almost laugh out loud, covering his mouth and barely holding back.

Zhu Youzhu didn't think this was ridiculous, he looked up at Xiao Jing, frowned, and said, "What does Uncle Pingjiang mean by this?" ”

Xiao Jingzhi said: "Your Majesty, thinking about it as a slave, Ping Jiangbo originally looked down on Mr. Zhang, he felt that it was Mr. Zhang who helped Wang Weining achieve today's results, so he had already regarded Mr. Zhang as a dissident in his heart, so he didn't even bring some decent gifts when he went, only a wine jug and a hot wine stove." ”

Xiao Jing doesn't care about Chen Rui now.

The surname Chen was not so generous when you gave gifts to our family, and now you are almost squeezed clean by Zhang Zhou, can our family still wipe your ass in front of His Majesty?

"It's called uninteresting!" Zhu Youzhu said angrily, "He is in today's situation, and he is to blame!" What does it have to do with Bingkuan? ”

Xiao Jing continued: "It may be that Mr. Zhang mentioned that he is not strong enough to drink, and in order to make Mr. Zhang recommend him in front of His Majesty, Ping Jiangbo asked people to take a few jars of wine from his house, saying that he wanted to get drunk before resting, and the result was ...... He himself got drunk first, and then he ......"

In other words, you know the following things, Your Majesty.

Chen Rui is called stealing chickens and rice, he thinks he is a wine fairy, and he wants to lie down Zhang Zhou on the wine table, so that Zhang Zhou is soft, and the pen and paper are probably intended to make Zhang Zhou promise to recommend and sign the charge.

It turned out to be good, and folded myself in.

Dai Yi said tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you think that Ping Jiangbo is embarrassed to break the previous barrier, deliberately drunk, and take this opportunity to give Mr. Zhang a gift, so that he can advance and retreat in moderation?" ”

"How?" Zhu Youzhu said.

Dai Yi said: "If Mr. Zhang didn't do things for him afterwards, he could completely say that he was drunk and coerced to write these things and didn't admit it." Even after Mr. Zhang helped him, it was okay...... Deny. ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned and said, "He didn't have such a strategy on the battlefield, but he used all that little bit of careful thinking to calculate his own people?" Ben also wanted to help him save his reputation, but it seems that it was my mistake, and he should have lost his reputation from now on! ”

Dai Yi listened.

I just analyzed it, and His Majesty decided not to help this old boy?

"Your Majesty, the old slave just said it casually, or it wasn't what Ping Jiangbo thought, the slave and maid talked a lot." Dai Yi hurriedly denied what he had said earlier.

Zhu Youzhu asked Xiao Jing: "That Bingkuan thinks, is this person still available?" ”

"This ......"

Xiao Jing was asked for a while.

When I left just now, I was thinking about Zhang Zhou's unheard of method of soliciting bribes, how could I still have the time to ask Zhang Zhou, whose surname Chen is available?

But thinking about it, His Majesty was quite sure about using Chen Rui, but seeing that Chen Rui had to beat around the bush to give a gift, he was drinking and making an IOU, and he probably should be stunned, I don't know if this person can still take it for his own use.

If you can't be "your own person", there are so many nobles, why does the emperor hold on to Chen Rui? Isn't it good to use someone else?

"Careless, Bingkuan dares to deceive him like this, he must have already made a decision, and he will come to talk to me without asking clearly. What's the use of showing it to me? If Bingkuan helps him, don't say that these things have been conclusively documented, even if he doesn't, he just said it, and it should be honored! Take it and ask clearly. ”

Xiao Jing also understood now.

The emperor didn't care what kind of gift Zhang Zhou received from Chen Rui, or as the emperor said before, this was a means to entrap Chen Rui.

And he Xiao Jing felt that Zhang Zhou's "lion opened his mouth" and showed it to the emperor, which was a wrong thing.

……

……

Pingjiang Bofu.

When Chen Rui woke up, it was more than two hours later.

"Master......" The elder looked at him with a bitter expression.

Chen Rui said: "Oh, how can you be here? Didn't you go to visit Zhang Zhenren? ”

"Master, you are drunk, and when you are drunk, you also give a mansion in our house, 200 hectares of land, as well as your Dawan Liangju, and even the sixth lady, all ......"

"What's wrong?"

"I promised to go out, and I also made a deed, saying that I would send the house and people over when I turned back. The little one is afraid that you don't remember, and someone has made a list, you see. ”

As he spoke, the elder entourage gave Chen Rui a list of things he had promised to give.

There was also a woman standing at the door, it was Chen Rui's daughter, she heard that she had just returned to Chen's house and was "sold" by her father, so she came to ask for clarification.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Chen Rui drove out a group of subordinates.

As he was talking, someone on the other side came in again: "Master, Grandpa Xiao from Admiral Dongchang is here." ”

"Please!"

Chen Rui doesn't pay attention to Zhang Zhou, but he compliments Xiao Jing in every way.

Zhang Zhou is at most a favored "Qincha", and Xiao Jing is the resident "governor".

When he saw Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing came up and shook his face: "Your Majesty said, you Chen someone usually doesn't use all your thoughts on military and political affairs, but you are cautious about the people in the court, but there are a lot of tricks." ”

Chen Rui knelt down and said, "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings. ”

"You don't have to be like this, Uncle Pingjiang, our family just came up on behalf of the saint to pass a message, and the things promised to be sent can't be relied upon."

"Except for what you listed...... The two thousand taels of silver that I had mentioned earlier were also carried and placed in the house. Our family also mentioned to Mr. Zhang that he doesn't want your things, but this is ordered by His Majesty, and he can't accept it. ”

"A compromise...... You send people and belongings in, the door is locked, and the key can be stored here first. When you do have merit in Liaodong, you will personally send this key to Zhang's mansion, and respectfully give Mr. Zhang the guilt. ”

"As long as your attitude is sincere, your Majesty and Mr. Zhang are satisfied. This matter should be revealed! ”
