originally thought that with such a big step back, Cui Pu should be content. But he still underestimated Cui Pu's ambition too much.

"Thank you, Governor Zhou, for your concern about the safety of the people in Hailing County. But...... I wonder how many places you're going to give us?"

"Thirty, is that enough?"

"Thirty, prefect, do you think that a mere thirty people can deal with a group of pirates who kill people and do all kinds of evil?" Cui Pu smiled lightly, but a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Governor Zhou's face was not good-looking. "That's fifty!"

"Governor Zhou, didn't Tang Lu say that as long as the number does not exceed a hundred, it is okay?" too lazy to increase the price with him little by little, Cui Pu said directly.

"You!" Governor Zhou immediately glared, "One hundred is the highest limit, unless there is a group of more than fifty fierce bandits in the county, otherwise the number cannot exceed thirty." I've done my best to raise the number to 50 for you! I don't know how long I'll have to explain the number to the higher-ups!"

"So that's the case! Then the lower official still has to think about it, the next time you go back to Chang'an, do you want to tell Wu Shilang, when you were in Chang'an in the Zhou Governor's Mansion before, the beautiful concubine that Wu Shilang told you to get rid of is still alive and well?

Zhou Zhifu's eyes were about to pop out.

"When did you know everything about this house so clearly?"

"Look at what you said, Xiaguan is just a small prefect, how can he be qualified to investigate your affairs in the prefect's house! I don't have the ability to do this!" Cui Pu smiled, "Actually, it's my father! You also know, he has been a left servant for so many years, and there are many protégés, so of course everyone has it everywhere." When Xiaguan went to Tianchang County to be the magistrate of Tianchang County before, he immediately stuffed all the information of the Zuo Prefect into the hands of Xiaguan. However, in those three years, Xiaguan got along well with the Zuo prefect's mansion, so he didn't mention these things. Now that the prefect has changed to you, my father naturally sent all your life information over in the fastest time. Xia Guan just glanced at it casually, and took a closer look!"

In other words, he held all his handles firmly in his hands, but he never said them!

It's been almost a year, and he actually revealed such a little bit of tone. If it weren't for the promise of the assembly army from him, this kid would just hide the news, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to hit the back of his head, right?

This kid is too insidious, too insidious!

Zhou Zhifu broke out in another layer of cold sweat. He finally understood why this kid had always been fearless in front of him, because he had never been afraid of himself at all!

In vain, he should have the support of Concubine Wu Hui, and he can press him hard!

He hurriedly took another deep breath: "That's it, in that case, you can also have a quota of a hundred people." But there is a requirement from the government. ”

"Don't tell this information to others, right? Governor Zhou, please rest assured, I'm going to release this news early, do you have to wait until now? Just think about it, if you are brought down, who knows what kind of exchange it will be? Everyone has to run in again, I don't know if I can catch such a complete information again, why bother? Rather than this, I might as well keep you, anyway, I have these things in my hands, and I'm not afraid that you will do something to me, right?" Cui Pu smiled.

Governor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. "In this case, this quota has been approved by the government. There's just one more thing, the bread of a hundred—"

"Although you can rest assured that this prefect has nothing else in hand, there is still no shortage of money. The food, clothing, and housing of these 100 people will be solved by themselves!" Cui Pu also understood the truth that he couldn't force people too hard. Otherwise, if he is squeezed dry this time, what will he squeeze next time? Such a useful fatty fish as Zhou Zhifu must of course be slowly knocked out of the bone and suck the marrow little by little, so that it can be sucked for a long time and continuously!

Governor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. "The matter of Yun Niang and Momohime ......"

"It is not uncommon for an important member of the imperial court such as Zhou Zhifu to act on the spot in desperation. Although Xiaguan's wife did not agree with this, she couldn't control other people's affairs. Even if I talk to the prefect's wife today, I will definitely not talk too deeply. You can rest assured. Cui Pu smiled.

In other words, she can still talk, but she won't break that layer of window paper!

However, the seed has already been planted. When to sprinkle it with water to loosen the soil and prompt it to break through the soil, it is up to them to decide. And if they want to, they can do it!

This kid is still threatening him!

Zhou Zhifu secretly gritted his teeth. "Cui Zhixian, you should understand that this mansion can get to today's status, and the food over the years has not been eaten in vain. Moreover, now that the house is on the side of the samurai, it will inevitably clash with you. ”

"I know, so I never expected you to show mercy to my men. Of course, I won't show mercy to your men if necessary. But isn't it time yet?" Cui Pu said with a smile.

His meaning is very clear - now everyone gets along in harmony. But when the time comes, he will definitely be ruthless!

Of course, when the time comes, you will definitely not show mercy to yourself.

Although this kid has a crazy temperament, he can still talk to him.

Governor Zhou can be regarded as showing his first smile today: "Since this is the case, then it is decided." ”

"Okay, it's decided!" Cui Pu instantly smiled brighter, "Governor Zhou, now let's hurry to the backyard! If the lower official didn't go to her after a stick of incense, she would have told Mrs. Zun those words without exception. ”

Following his words, Governor Zhou slowly turned his gaze to the incense burner on the side—the incense stick he had just set on fire when Cui Pu came in just now. By now, most of this pillar of incense has been burned, and it is about to end.

"Then you didn't say it earlier!" his face changed in an instant, and he quickly turned around and rushed to the backyard.

Seeing him rushing out like an arrow from the string, Cui Pu blinked, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became higher and higher: "Running really fast enough." It seems that the relationship between this lady of yours and Concubine Wu Hui is indeed not ordinary!"

At this time, Mu Jiaojiao had just received the golden needle that was tied to Mrs. Zhou's head.

"After today's piercing, you can get a good night's sleep, and your head won't hurt anymore when you wake up. ”

"Well, after pricking you a few times before, my head obviously doesn't hurt so much, and it's only hurt a little bit lately. Hearing you say that now, then you will definitely be fine in the future!" Mrs. Zhou smiled, "Your medical skills are really good. I've been following me for so many years with this migraine, and I've asked a lot of doctors to see it to no avail, but I only gave you a few injections. I knew this was the case, I should have invited you to Chang'an in the first place!"

It's a pity that at that time, they were still skeptical of Mu Jiaojiao's medical skills. After all, she was too young. Coupled with the contradiction between Cui Pu and Wu Lixin, they naturally wouldn't slap the martial artist in the face.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "It's not too late to meet it now." By the way, I see that Mrs. you are very good-looking, and the concubines in the backyard of the Zhou Governor's Mansion are also beautiful, it seems that the Zhou Governor's Mansion is very concerned about the appearance of women!"

"Yes, he has no interest in anything else, so he prefers a good-looking little lady. But fortunately, he has always respected me, and those concubines are just playthings, so let him keep them if he likes them. Mrs. Zhou said disapprerovingly.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "That's what you're saying. It's just that I seem to have heard someone say that Governor Zhou also came to Yangzhou to be an official before, and it seems that he had a close relationship with an Oiran lady named Momohime here at that time?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's face immediately changed.

As soon as Governor Zhou entered the door, he heard this, and his heart began to beat drums.

"That's all in the past! I had cut off contact with her ten years ago, and Momohi had married and had children, didn't Madame already know about this?" he said quickly, and ran in quick.

But at the mention of this name, Mrs. Zhou's good mood seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. Even though Governor Zhou explained so, she still glared at him coldly and didn't start.

Governor Zhou was bitter in his heart, and hurriedly went up to persuade him.

Mu Jiaojiao raised her eyes and saw Cui Pu walking in behind Governor Zhou, and the two of them met their eyes, and they both smiled slightly-

This thing is done!
