At dinner time, all the squires who could arrive in Tianchang County came.

Everyone warmly entertained the squires from Hailing County. behaved freely, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not see the sense of cringe when he went out to meet people before, this generous performance once again made the squires of Hailing County look at Cui Pu, the county master.

In less than two years, he has already made the people of the county proud and confident. And relying on this self-confidence, they will definitely be more motivated to do things in the future, and get twice the result with half the effort!

Just like now, these people are beside Cui Pu, and they automatically and spontaneously twist into a rope. As long as Cui Pu looked at him and said a word, they took the initiative to rush ahead and helped him do many things.

As for their county magistrate in Hailing County...... Forget it, that one has never been of the same mind as them, and they don't have the heart to be tied with him at all. It is extremely rare to be able to live in peace and maintain a face-to-face harmony now. They simply don't dare to ask for more.

Soon the food and drinks were delivered. For this meal, the cook also exhausted all means to send sweet potatoes in various ways. The squires of Hailing County were full of praise.

Seeing this, the squires of Tianchang County smiled and said: "The sweet potatoes in the first half of the year, because there is not much harvest, the bulk was sent to Chang'an, and we only got a little of the rest, which is not enough for our own food." However, seeing that the winter sweet potatoes are about to be harvested again, when you come back, we will definitely prepare a copy for you to take back and enjoy with your family!"

The squires of Hailing County immediately chuckled cautiously! One by one, they barely smiled on their faces, and their mouths were vague and perfunctory.

It's just that Cui Pu is here, how could he let them pass it like this?

Immediately, he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. Although this sweet potato is a rare item in our place, Hailing County does not count. Now we have only planted some in the town below, and in the end the output will be handed over to the treasury, and only a fraction of it will be distributed to everyone. But now, everyone in Hailing County has already started to grow in their own homes. When we reaped, they reaped. At that time, the amount of sweet potatoes in their hands will definitely be much more than ours, Wu Xianzun, don't you say?"

Sure enough, he already knew!

The hearts of the people in Hailing County were so big that they hurriedly laughed silently.

Fortunately, they quietly patted their chests and secretly rejoiced. Perhaps because of his loyalty before, Cui Pu didn't blame them much now, but directly pointed the finger at Wu Lixin, the culprit. This also just shows that although Cui Pu is narrow-minded, he is not an innocent person. He knows that there is a debtor, and if there is a problem, he will directly find the culprit, and he will not implicate others.

This decisive and aggressive personality made everyone think a little higher about him.

When Wu Lixin heard this, he paused with his hand holding his chopsticks.

He wasn't afraid, though. Long before he came over, he was ready to be interrogated by Cui Pu.

So now, he just raised his head slowly and smiled at him: "Yes! We did buy some sweet potato seedlings from Tianchang County to plant them before. Presumably, in another month or two, we will also be able to have sweet potatoes in Hailing County. Although the quantity is not as good as that of your Tianchang County, if we want to eat it ourselves, we don't have to spend a high price to buy it in Tianchang County. This is a very good thing, Cui Xianzun, are you happy for us from the bottom of your heart now?"

"Rejoice, this county is delighted. Cui Pu nodded with a smile, "However, this county is very curious, I have already clearly stipulated at the beginning that sweet potato seedlings are not allowed to be bought and sold, and they will naturally be distributed to counties next year." Wu Xianzun, where did you get these?"

"Hey!" Wu Lixin let out a long sigh of relief, "Do you still need me to get this? It was completely someone else who took the initiative to send it to the door! I remember that in July, after the harvest of sweet potatoes in your Tianchang County, someone from Hailing County came to play, and he was caught on the way, and he wanted to sell him sweet potato seedlings, and said that he had a lot on hand, and how much he wanted. They just joked with him and said they wanted 300 plants, and the man got 300 plants for him that night. You said that all these things had already been shipped out, and if they were to be transported back to others, it would be miserable if they were caught by the officers and men! There was no way, so our people had to pay for the sweet potato seedlings to be transported back to Hailing County. ”

After that, he spread his hands: "This was not our original intention, but we couldn't bear to see the people of Tianchang County suffer because of this little thing, so we reluctantly helped him." However, does this also show that there are still a lot of loopholes under your rule Cui Xianzun waiting for you to fill them?"

No wonder this guy can come so happily this time, the feeling is that he has already thought of this set of rhetoric and deliberately stimulated him!

Cui Pu gritted his teeth: "This county is young, and it is the first time to be an official, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions in some aspects." Now, please ask Wu Xianzun to inform this county, where did this omission come from? Now that the county knows, it will naturally know how to make up for it. ”

"Oh, this! It's been a few months since this incident, and the person who came here at that time was not from this county, and the county didn't know who that person's name was or what he looked like!" Wu Lixin had the upper hand for a while, and immediately his tail trembled.

The squires of Hailing County hurriedly covered their faces, lest they be recognized as being in the same group as him.

Cui Pu just looked at him lightly, and he didn't bother to waste saliva with him.

Wu Lixin himself was stunned for a long time before he said as if he was giving alms: "However, they seem to have heard what that person said, he is your own uncle in Cui County, and his son is still on an errand in the yamen of Tianchang County, and he can help them transport the sweet potato seedlings out of Tianchang County safely." And they did what they said!"

Cui Pu's face suddenly sank. "So it's them? I see. ”

Wu Lixin smiled and said: "Last time in Yangzhou Mansion, there was a father and son who deceived in the name of your uncle and cousin, and even Princess Tangchang was biased. I remember you didn't seem to admit them at the time, did you? Why, now your real uncle and cousin have come over?"

"My family's family affairs, Wuxian Zun, you don't have to ask, right?" Cui Pu said coldly, "By the way, I heard you talk about the incident in Yangzhou Mansion last time, and the county also remembered that Princess Tangchang has been doing recently? I heard that her eyes have not been good, and she is imprisoned in the princess's mansion and cannot come out, so she must be very lonely in her heart." You have such a good relationship with her, you should visit her often, right?"

Wu Lixin immediately rushed to the top of his head with another burst of blood, and almost wanted to grab the plate at hand and slap it in the face of this bastard!

He was embarrassed to say! Obviously, he hooked up with Princess Tangchang with his beauty, but he was not satisfied with others, so he provoked Princess Tangchang to chase after her. As a result, until now, he has cleared the suspicion by jumping into the lake, but he has thrown himself in! Until now, he is still burdened with the name of 'Princess Tangchang's old lover', no matter how he explains it, it is useless. This is also an important reason why the squires of Hailing County have always looked down on him.

Look, as soon as they heard this, these squires in Hailing County suddenly lowered their heads again.

I'm so angry!

He suddenly lost the mind to eat, so he slapped his chopsticks: "I'm full." ”

"Now that you have your fill, please go to your guest room to rest! Cui Pu was as good as a stream, and quickly withdrew from the banquet.

He doesn't have to interfere in the follow-up arrangements for guests.

Cui Pu hurriedly ran out and ordered someone to arrest Zhao Tian and his son, beat them up and throw them in prison for a few days. Then, he returned to the inner house and plunged into Mu Jiaojiao's arms, without speaking for a long time.

Mu Jiaojiao hugged him gently, and gently smoothed his hair: "Okay, haven't all the ghosts been found? ”

"But I'm still very uncomfortable in my heart! You didn't see the expression of the surnamed Wu at that time, I really owe a beating! Isn't he just laughing at the fact that there is an uncle next to me who can only drag his feet? The father and son surnamed Zhao are indeed ...... Hey, they've been obedient and haven't caused trouble these days, and I'm really thinking they've changed their ways. As a result, who knows, they actually did this kind of thing behind my back! What is the difference between this and forgetting my ancestors? Do they have to cheat me?" Cui Pu gritted his teeth and whispered.

"You don't know what kind of character their father and son have. It's understandable to be able to do such a thing. Mu Jiaojiao said softly.

"But you should know that if he leaked the seedlings, that is, he gave the surnamed Wu an extra capital to work against me, and all my good plans were ruined by him!"

"That's not necessarily!" Mu Jiaojiao shook her head indifferently.

"Not necessarily, depending on the meaning of the surname Wu, the sweet potatoes over there should be planted very well. After the harvest, it will be really ......" Cui Pu gritted his teeth.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled indifferently: "Their harvest is over, will our differences be harvested when the time comes?" And with the experience of the last time, the yield we planted this time will definitely be higher." In this way, you can ask the people in the household department to keep more sweet potatoes in Tianchang County. Then, we can ......."

She whispered a few words in Cui Pu's ear.

After Cui Pu heard this, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by endless smiles.

He hurriedly turned over and hugged Mu Jiaojiao. "Sure enough, it's still my lady who is the smartest!

Over there, Wu Lixin was tossing and turning in the guest room, and he couldn't sleep.

He still had a breath in his stomach, and he couldn't swallow it.

Cui Pu, this bastard, how did he end up with this opponent in his life......? Now as long as I see his face, I am so angry that I feel pain. After a few more verbal slaps just now, now that he thinks about it, his stomach is beginning to ache faintly again. Even the stomach began to cramp and roll.

What's going on? Is his body starting to reject this bastard?

Thinking in his heart, he immediately sensed that the pain in his body was intensifying, and then intensifying...... Tumbling and twisting, it was like a big hand reaching into his abdomen, wantonly stirring his internal organs, and his face turned pale in pain.

"Ah, I'm in so much pain, go and call the doctor—poof"

He quickly covered his stomach, and before he could finish a word, he fell to the ground and vomited and rolled.
