Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang had no choice but to appease their subordinates first: "Don't be impatient, everyone, who said we would leave like this?" Do you think it's possible? Everyone is on an errand in the same yamen, and we have gained benefits, can we get less benefits for everyone?

Let's go out first, wait for us to discuss where to take everyone to eat, and discuss going out to meet everyone. ”

"Two heads, you still talk like a little talk, like a head, okay, let's go out and wait first."

After the officials got the promise, they went out and waited with peace of mind, and they knew in their hearts that the monks couldn't run away from the temple, and they couldn't escape this meal.

Seeing that the servants were all out of the yamen, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang hurriedly pulled Zhou Yiming, walked to the side, and pleaded in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, you said that the pension of the dead brother, we can't move a cent, the two of us didn't say a word, I promised you."

You said you would take our share of the bounty, but we didn't say a word and agreed.

No way, who called us brothers.

You're happy, and so are the two of us.

But now, in the current situation, our gang of people feel that we have gained a lot of money and want to slaughter us, in public and private, we can't refuse, you say? ”

Zhou Zhou Ming had already understood the intentions of the two of them, their bounty was taken away by himself, and now he was forced to eat by his subordinates, and the two of them didn't want to pay any more money, so they tried every means to make themselves have some blood.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two, Zhou Ming did not sympathize at all, but made up his mind to play two more tricks.

He first showed a worried look, and then sighed: "Alas, since the two brothers have said this, I can't say anything more, after all, your share of the bounty was also because of me."

Okay, I'll pay for this treat, and you two just have to greet everyone when the time comes. ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were both stunned, and the two of them couldn't believe it, how could Zhou Ming be so good at talking today.

"Really?" Deng Tong asked cautiously.

"Manly man, what you say can be fake?" Zhou Ming's expression was a little angry, "If you don't believe me, then you can just give out the money." ”

The two of them hurriedly smiled: "Brother Zhou, we didn't mean that, just have your words, let's go." ”

"Wait a minute," Zhou Ming asked with a smile on his face, "Two brothers, how many taels of silver did you two bring today?" ”

Seeing Zhou Ming ask like this, the two of them took a step back at the same time, and looked at Zhou Ming vigilantly: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Hehe," Zhou Ming smiled slightly, "That's the case, I don't need to say much about the bonus, your share is gone, and my share is gone."

As for Yulu, this month has not been sent yet, and I have just gotten married, and I don't have a few private money in my hand, and my wife is going to celebrate her birthday next month, and I really can't get the money in my hand for a while. ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang both had an ominous premonition, and the two of them subconsciously tightened their pockets for the money, and retreated to the yamen at the same time.

"Brother Zhou, don't be like this, we are also people who want to support our families, please let go."

Zhou Ming chased after him, and his eyes gradually showed a thief's light: "Everyone is a brother, don't say such unsightly words."

As I said just now, I will definitely pay for this meal, but I can't take it out now, you two will lend me some first, and when I send you money, even if you don't eat or drink, you have to be the first to pay it back to you. ”

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang didn't hesitate at all, they turned around and wanted to escape, the two of them understood that Zhou Ming's kid was simply bad, and it was a death to take advantage of him.

Zhou Zhou Ming jumped in front of the two people: "Two brothers, aren't you so stingy?" ”

As he spoke, Zhou Ming spread out his hands and stretched out in front of the two of them.

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang cried and took out the money.

Zhou Ming got the money, he was in a good mood, and hurriedly comforted the two superiors who had been repeatedly cheated by him: "Two brothers, don't cry with a sad face, you see, tears are flowing out." You say, "Are you worth it for this little money?"

Is it a shame to be seen by the subordinates outside? ”

The two of them scolded in their hearts, thinking that we were cheated by you for more than a little money, just the bounty of the two of us, there were six thousand taels of silver, so much money, it was not good to buy something, but you were pitted, and I didn't even hear a sound.

Zhou Zhou Ming comforted and urged the two superiors to go out of the yamen, and after meeting with the officials outside, he waved his hand and said proudly.

"Brothers, I invite you to this meal today, everyone is not drunk, and you will drink him in the dark. Brothers, walk. ”

When all the officials heard Zhou Ming say this, they were all overjoyed, and they all shouted loudly.

Zhou Ming led everyone through the streets and alleys, and the team went straight to the best restaurant in the south of the city, Zuixian Building.

The boss behind the drunken immortal building is also one of the powerful people in the court, the whole restaurant is gorgeously decorated, the style is abnormal, and the people who enter and exit it are dignitaries, and even have relatives of the emperor.

This level of restaurant is not something that ordinary people can afford, and the Chengnan Inspection Yamen is a Qingshui Yamen, and even Deng Tong, who is an inspection envoy, can't make much money a year, let alone other poor people in the Yamen.

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang also came to Zuixianlou for the first time, and the two of them played drums in their hearts while going upstairs.

The little silver that Zhou Zhou Ming brought on his body was all pit from the two of them, and when he came to eat in a restaurant of this level, was that money enough?

According to what they had heard before, a casual meal in the Drunken Immortal Mansion would cost a few hundred taels of silver.

The sum of the money that the two of them gave to Zhou Ming just now was only thirty or forty taels.

If they wait for a while to finish eating, Zhou Zhou Ming can't take out the money to settle the bill, and is treated as a person who eats the overlord's meal and beats them, then their faces will be lost, and if they are known by other inspection yamen, they will become the laughing stock of the entire capital.

The two of them were uneasy in their hearts, saw the opportunity, and secretly asked Zhou Ming: "Brother Zhou, this restaurant you picked is not cheap, you have to eat a casual meal, you have to pay a hundred taels of silver, and we don't have enough money." ”

"Afraid of what? I'm having a treat today, and I'm responsible for not paying for it, so you just have to eat and drink well. Zhou Ming was very confident and didn't take the words of the two people seriously at all.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they all gave it away, anyway, the money of the two of them was given to Zhou Ming, and he couldn't pay it later, and he was the one who lost face.

The two of them turned their hearts sideways, ready to eat and drink, even if Zhou Ming lost face in the end, they couldn't blame them, after all, the two of them had already reminded him just now, it was he who was obsessed and wanted to go to death.

The officials had never come to such a good place to eat, and they were all gearing up for a big meal.

After all, Master Cao is an elderly person, and he also has something to do with Zhou Ming, so after sitting down, he kindly reminded Zhou Ming: "Zhou Zhutou, the cost here is not small, if you are embarrassed, we might as well change places, anyway, we are all eating, everywhere is the same." ”

"How can it be the same? Such a high-end restaurant, it's the first time I've come here in my life, Zhou Zhutou, don't let me be happy in vain. ”

"Now that I'm sitting down, I'm not leaving."

The other officials objected.

Zhou Zhou Ming sat on the main seat and made a downward gesture: "Everyone be quiet, since I have the courage to bring everyone here to consume, I must have this ability, you must not save money for me today, you can order whatever you want to eat, let's drink and eat well." ”

When Master Cao saw Zhou Ming say this, he thought that he was prepared, so he didn't say anything more.

The officials are like wolves and tigers, and when they order, they all pick the most expensive dishes, and even the wine they drink is the best daughter Hong, and a jar costs more than 20 taels of silver.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, eating and drinking well, of course, leading Zhou Ming's love, they were a little drunk, they all showed their loyalty to Zhou Ming, and there were a few drunk officials, and even said that in the future, the leader of the Chengnan Patrol Yamen must be Zhou Ming, and everyone will definitely do a good job with him.

This made Deng Tong very embarrassed.

Before Lao Tzu retreated, you little bastards began to directly cross me and pat Zhou Ming's ass, this is completely ignoring me?

But he thought about it carefully, what these people said is not unreasonable, an outstanding talent like Zhou Zhou Ming, not to mention being a leader in the inspection yamen in the south of the city, even if he goes to Dali Temple to take office, he can do it well.

Seeing that everyone was also drunk before saying this, he simply ignored it and drank his own wine.

The sycophant nonsense on the wine table, how could Zhou Zhou Ming take it seriously? He is planning another thing at the moment, that is, when he waits for the settlement later, if the money is not enough, what method should he use to continue to pit Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang?

In fact, to be honest, at this moment, when he was planning this pit man's plan, he also felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, it was a bit unreasonable to pick two sheep to pick wool.

But there is no way, who let him know these two rich people, I'm sorry to continue to pit.

At this time, Xiao Er of the restaurant shouted, and walked up with two dishes: "Crystal elbows, stir-fried live chicken, all officials enjoy it slowly." ”

"Zhou Zhutou, it's interesting enough, I've only heard of these two dishes in rumors, but I didn't expect to be able to feast on them today."

When the officials saw these two dishes, they were all moved and almost cried, and they all started to fight for them.

Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang grabbed food with chopsticks at the same time, they both sweated in their hearts, these two dishes are the signature dishes of Zuixian Building, each dish is worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver, Zhou Ming is crazy? Don't plan to get out of the Drunken Immortal Tower alive?

Zhou Ming was also stunned, these two dishes were not ordered by him.

He stood up, followed Xiao Er of the restaurant, walked to the corner of the stairs, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Er, are you making a mistake in serving the food?" We didn't order the two dishes just now. ”

The shopkeeper smiled slightly: "Official, these two dishes were indeed not ordered by you, but were given by my boss." ”
