All of Han Pingzhi's attention was on Zhou Ming, except for the necessary entertainment with others, during the entire eating process, he always talked and laughed with Zhou Ming, and the two of them were like one person.

No matter how many people came to toast in the middle, he politely declined, and after the resignation, he changed glasses with Zhou Ming, and drank happily.

Those who were rejected for toasting, although they had a lot of loss in their hearts, they were not dissatisfied with Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi, after all, they all knew in their hearts that the reason why they had the good fortune to eat this meal was all because of the two of them, and the relationship between the two of them was very good, and these poor people also knew it, so that no one was jealous at all.

Only Deng Tong has always had a bad taste in his heart, gave up the opportunity to eat a big meal, hollowed out his thoughts, and talked to Han Pingzhi in a low way in order to get his attention, but this kid didn't take himself seriously at all, and only cared about talking to Zhou Ming.

Deng Tong grabbed a piece of fat meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously, he hoped to vent his inner depression in this way.

Although Xia Dezhang on the side was sitting at the main table, which made it inconvenient to eat and drink, he still tried his best to eat up the jade crystal elbow within a very fast speed.

He was so full of praise for the taste of this dish that after eating the last piece of meat, he still sighed and savored the deliciousness of this dish.

Just as he was looking for the next target to be eliminated at the wine table, Yu Guang found that Deng Tong was drinking depressed alone, and no one at the wine table paid attention to him.

Xia Dezhang felt funny for a while, Deng Tong, a stupid person, doesn't pee according to his own virtue, thinking that when he comes to the main table to eat, others will be able to look up to him? It's stupid.

He didn't take a look, who were sitting at the main table, needless to say Han Pingzhi and Zhou Ming, the others were also small leaders in the yamen of the General Affairs Office, and they were the poor people in the inspection yamen in the south of the city, and it was a rare thing to see these people in the first place.

Deng Tong actually ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and wanted to befriend Han Pingzhi, this is too much to treat himself as a dish, right? It's good, I almost knelt down to lick my shoes, but people didn't buy your account, and they didn't look at you at all.

Seeing Deng Tong's extremely embarrassed appearance, Xia Dezhang was also afraid for a while, after all, before starting to eat, he also planned to make friends with Han Pingzhi, but after seeing the table full of delicacies, he forgot about this thought.

He was glad in his heart, thinking that if it wasn't for his greed, he would definitely end up with Deng Tong now.

After adding a piece of pork belly to his bowl, Xia Dezhang kicked Deng Tong under the table with his foot, and then he put the pork belly in his mouth, chewed it vigorously, approached Deng Tong, and said in a low voice: "Okay Deng Inspection, don't waste your efforts, you and I are small people, who will look at the people at this table?"

No matter how smart you are, you can only bring humiliation on yourself, it is better to take the opportunity to eat more delicious food, and it is better than anything else to have something real in your stomach. ”

Wake up the people in the dream, Deng Tong looked around at the people eating at the main table, and found that these people are not idle people, not only are their official positions much higher than their own, but also many people have a deep background behind them, and they want to make friends with these powerful people, isn't that just a fool's dream?

If he still doesn't know how to restrain himself and continues to be ugly, he will not only lose his face, but also make Zhou Ming unable to raise his head at the wine table, after all, he brought it.

After figuring this out, Deng Tong let go all of a sudden, he no longer paid attention to what Han Pingzhi and Zhou Ming were talking about, but focused all his energy on eating, after all, because he was amorous just now, he wasted a lot of time eating, and now he wants to make up for that time.

Zhou Zhou Ming had a very pleasant chat with Han Pingzhi, and the relationship between the two of them was getting closer and closer, but after he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong, his face became a little unnatural, because the eating appearance of these two people was so ugly, as if they hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes.

Zhou Zhou Ming secretly swore in his heart that if he encountered such an important occasion again in the future, even if these two people cried and shouted for themselves, he would definitely not bring them to attend.

The meal has been eaten until seven minutes full, and the wine is almost drunk, Zhou Ming has been brewing for a long time, and it is easy to find a suitable time, and he said: "Brother Han, the meal is almost finished, you see that my body is weird and dirty, and I have also suffered some minor injuries, if there is nothing for me on official business, I want to go home and clean up, and say goodbye to you in advance." ”

Han Pingzhi was drinking happily, where was he willing to let Zhou Ming go: "That's not good, we haven't drunk this wine yet, you definitely can't go."

Don't you just want to change into clean clothes? What's so difficult about this, in my room in the back hall, there are clothes, I told my subordinates to take you to choose, you must not be polite to me, which one you like, just take it and wear it.

As for your injuries, don't be afraid, I'll send someone for you at once, and the doctor will come and treat you at the wine table in a while. ”

Zhou Ming's expression froze on his face, thinking to himself that what I said just now was just an excuse to go home earlier, Han Ping's emotional intelligence was so high, how could he not understand it?

Seeing Han Ping's hard work to keep Zhou Ming, other people at the wine table also spoke up to persuade Zhou Ming.

"Lord Zhou, it's rare that we Lord Han are happy today, just sit down for a while, if there is any problem, just ask, our Lord Han will solve it for you."

"That's right, even if you have something to worry about, it's a big deal that we people will do it for you."

"We Han adults make friends, but we are very picky, it's rare that the personalities of the two of you are so speculative, so what's the matter if you have a few more drinks when you're happy."

Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong, who were eating wildly, heard that Zhou Ming was leaving, and the two of them immediately panicked, after all, they were not familiar with any of the people here, and they had no friendship with Han Pingzhi.

"Brother Zhou, don't you have to worry, isn't it just that your clothes are torn and there are some holes? It doesn't matter, you wear mine first, go back home, and then give it back to me. "Deng Tong let Zhou Ming stay, which can be regarded as a free offer.

Without waiting for Zhou Ming to speak, he immediately stood up and prepared to untie his clothes in front of everyone present.

"Stop!" Zhou Zhou Ming immediately stopped him, "You hurry up and eat yours, just be careful not to choke to death!" I'll talk to Lord Han, don't interrupt. ”

"Oh." was reprimanded by his nominal subordinates, but instead of getting angry, Deng Tong sat down obediently and continued to eat as if no one was around.

Xia Dezhang's mind turned faster than Deng Tong, he guessed that Zhou Zhou Ming said that he was leaving, there must be something important to do, so he immediately stood up and took the opportunity to show his loyalty: "Brother Zhou, if you have anything to worry about, you can leave it to me, since Lord Han has made a contract with you like this, you can continue to drink two more drinks with him, don't ruin Lord Han's interest." ”

The last sentence touched Han Pingzhi's heart, he stood up, pointed at Xia Dezhang and praised him: "This brother is sensible and has a future in the future, Brother Zhou, you will reuse him in the future." ”

Xia Dezhang stood up to show his loyalty, originally just wanted to please Zhou Ming, but what he didn't expect was that Zhou Zhou Ming hadn't said anything yet, the unexpected joy came, if he took this opportunity to get involved with Han Pingzhi, there would be one more choice for the future, at least if he reached the end of the mountain, he could have one more way to live.

"Lord Han praised it falsely." Xia Dezhang hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands, and Shi Li said.

Zhou Zhou Ming was so angry in his heart, thinking that I just want to go home, why is it so difficult? Han Pingzhi doesn't let me go, why did the two people I bring not help me at such a critical moment, but always dismantle my platform, what is the reason?

Could it be that these two boys feel that they have no future with me, and want to change their doors and hug Han Pingzhi's thighs?

If the two of them really have this kind of thought, they are really stupid, although Han Pingzhi's current official position is higher than mine, but you two don't look at his age.

At an age like Han Pingzhi, achieving the position of the chief manager of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office is basically the limit, the reason why he has been in this official position for so many years and has never been promoted is not that his level is not good, nor that he is not working hard enough, but that there are such unspoken rules in the court that restrict him, unless he has made immortal achievements, he will have the opportunity to break through such restrictions.

And this is also the real reason why Han Pingzhi attaches so much importance to this case of being a traitor in the northern country, because only by handling this case perfectly can he have the opportunity to be further promoted.

Zhou Zhou Ming repeatedly compared the advantages and disadvantages of himself and Han Pingzhi in his heart, and found that he not only had an advantage in age, but also far ahead of Han Pingzhi in terms of popularity.

Even if there is a great enemy of Yan Qiu in front of him now, he will have a good chance to be reused by the imperial court in the future, after all, at his age, a person who can solve two strange cases in a row has not appeared in the Great Chu State.

If you don't use such an outstanding talent, and waste it in vain, such a stupid thing will not be done by anyone with a little brain.

Seeing Xia Dezhang's flattered and groveling look, Zhou Zhou Ming secretly made up his mind that even if these two fools really had the heart to join Han Pingzhi's door, he would never stop them, after all, these two people already had two hearts, and if they reluctantly stayed, they would not really help themselves, but they might cause trouble at a critical moment.
