Yang Baihu took Pei Zheng and the others to the dungeon, talked to Li Cell, explained a few important words, and then withdrew with people.

Li Yuan and the others were undoubtedly put in a cage, and Pei Zhengze was entrusted to the head of the Li cell.

It was evening mealtime, and the jailers set up a round table near the entrance of the dungeon, filled with sumptuous dishes.

Pei Zheng was dragged into the table by the head of the cell, and the position was on the left hand next to the head of the Li cell, except for him, and the table was full of jailers guarding the cell.

Li Jiaotou greeted very warmly: "Since Brother Pei was brought by Lord Zhou, he is not an outsider, if you don't dislike it, just like Yang Baihu, call me a brother." ”

Pei Zheng is an old man who has mixed up with society, and he can't hear the meaning of wooing in Li Jiaotou's words.

Although Pei Zheng knew in his heart that Li Cellhead had such a performance because of what Zhou Qing said, it did not prevent him from taking the opportunity to get in touch with the other party.

Leaving Xin'an City, Pei Zheng's network of contacts and connections accumulated in the past five years has almost come to an end.

When he first arrived in Chang'an, he was unfamiliar with the place and had no support, so if Pei Zheng wanted to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, he naturally had to compile a new network.

The head of the dungeon of Gong Weisi doesn't seem to be of much help to Pei Zheng in the future, but he is now poor and white, how can he be a picky eater?

I saw a look of emotion on Pei Zheng's face, and he stood up and bowed: "Thanks to the elder brother who looks up to the younger brother so much, how can the younger brother not know what to do? ”

Rao is Li Cell-Boss thought that Pei Zheng would agree at first, but the other party's beautiful and cheerful attitude and exaggerated performance still made him stunned for a moment.

However, Li Jiaotou reacted very quickly, and after only a moment, he stood up, patted Pei Zheng's shoulder, and said with a sincere face: "Good brother, come, sit down and drink, you and my brother will not return if you are not drunk today." ”

Pei Zheng nodded heavily: "Listen to my brother." ”

Li Cell Boss pulled Pei Zheng to sit down, personally poured Pei Zheng a bowl of wine, and said with a bold smile: "You can do anything here in my brother, but you can't be polite, you should eat, you should drink, come, my brother is a few years older than you, and he is a landlord, on behalf of all the staff of the Xuanzi cell, I will toast you a glass." ”

Pei Zheng looked stunned: "Brother Xie, it's done." ”

After speaking, he held the bowl in both hands and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Prison Boss praised: "Good amount of wine, come again." ”

Then he poured another glass.

Pei Zheng was stunned and said: "Just now the elder brother respected the younger brother, and now it is the turn of the younger brother to respect the elder brother, come, do it." ”

The second cup is gone.

Without Li Cell's help, the little leader of the jailers on Pei Zheng's left immediately poured him full.

Pei Zheng got up with the wine bowl and said, "Little brother is the first time to come to Baodi, thank you for taking care of the elder brother and the eldest brother, and the younger brother will give you a drink." ”

Three cups of belly, the image of stunned green is vividly displayed.

Pei Zheng sat down again, his bronzed face flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he looked like he was drunk.

Seeing this, Cell Boss Li felt a little depressed in his heart, and before he had time to find a way to pour him wine, he was stunned, and there was no place for heroes.

Xu was worried that Pei Zheng would get drunk too soon, so Li Prison hurriedly sandwiched a piece of meat for him: "Brother, don't patronize and drink, come and eat." ”

Pei Zheng was as good as a stream, and swallowed the meat into his stomach two or three times.

Li Cell Boss hurriedly clipped him a few more pieces, and asked tentatively, "Can my brother still drink?"

Pei Zheng straightened his chest and said: "Of course you can, come, the little brother will give the elder brother another drink." ”

After speaking, he went to get the wine jug and pour the wine, but his hand was a little shaky, and he didn't aim at it.

Seeing this, the head of Li Prison coughed lightly, and the little leader of the jailer next to him immediately understood, and snatched the wine jug from Pei Zheng's hand: "Brother is a guest, how can you come to this kind of thing? ”

This time, I didn't pour Pei Zheng full, only half a cup.

Pei Zheng was not ambiguous at all, he took a sip of the wine bowl, put down the bowl and burped, his mouth exuded a strong smell of wine, and his hand reached out to the wine jug again.

Seeing that Pei Zheng really wanted not to get drunk, Li Jiaotou stretched out his hand to press the wine jug, and asked with a smile: "My brother has a good amount of alcohol, I don't know where his ancestral home is?"

It's finally here.

Pei Zheng tilted his head and thought about it: "The younger brother grew up in Xin'an City, and since he was sensible, his parents and grandparents have been gone, and he and his brother depend on each other. ”

"The elder brother rarely mentions things related to his father and ancestors, and it is really unclear where the ancestral home is, according to the old man of Xin'an City, the younger brother's ancestral home will not be too far from Xin'an City. ”

Hearing this, Cell-Tou Li's expression moved slightly, and he said quietly: "In this way, my brother heard that Master Zhou's alcohol consumption is as good as that of my brother, and I think there is something between you." ”

You might as well ask me directly what my relationship with Zhou Qing is.

Pei Zheng complained silently, pretending to be shy: "Little brother and a small person, how can he be qualified to have a relationship with Lord Zhou?"

Li Cellhead said: "Yes, brother, don't lie to me, brother sees that Lord Zhou takes good care of you." ”

A look of panic appeared on Pei Zheng's face: "How did the old brother see it?"

"No, no, no, there really is nothing to do between the little brother and Lord Zhou, don't talk nonsense, if Lord Zhou hears it, the little brother will be in trouble. ”

Pei Zheng tried his best to deny it, and his face became more and more flustered.

Li Celltou glanced at Pei Zheng deeply, It's okay, why are you so flustered? I think it's an unsightly relationship, right?

"How did my brother know Lord Zhou?"

Probably because he felt that he couldn't get the answer he wanted by hitting the side, Li Jiaotou asked directly.

The panic on Pei Zheng's face dissipated a lot, and he said bluntly: "The younger brother is a witness to the poisoning of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Zhou is the organizer, so he naturally knows him." ”

Li Jiaotou smiled secretly, even his parents died since he was a child, and he and his brother were dependent on each other at will, involving Lord Zhou, this tone suddenly became strict, and he said that there was no problem?

"Is that brother familiar with Yang Baihu?"

Pei Zheng replied decisively: "I'm not familiar, the little brother said a total of two words to him along the way." ”

Well, when it comes to real strangers, it's straightforward.

Since Yang Baihu is not familiar with you, and bluntly said that you are valued by Lord Zhou, would he lie for you?

To say that there was still some uncertainty before, after listening to this, Li Jiaotou basically concluded that the relationship between Pei Zheng and Zhou Qing was not ordinary.

For him, it is not good to be able to figure out what the relationship between the two parties is, and it is enough to be sure.

Besides, some things can't be done overnight, in order to avoid Pei Zheng's suspicions, Li Cellhead decided to stop in moderation, and greeted with a smile: "Come, brother, let's continue to drink." ”

This time, it's Pei Zheng's turn to be uncomfortable, he is only halfway through the performance, why did you end the show?

No, this play can't be stopped so easily.

So Pei Zheng took the initiative to ask: "Ask the elder brother one thing, is Lord Zhou very famous in the Gongwei Division?

Li Jiaotou glanced at Pei Zheng meaningfully, and replied enthusiastically: "Brother doesn't know, Lord Zhou is newly transferred to the Gongwei Division, don't look at him now he is only a thousand households, according to internal information, it won't be long before he will be promoted to the commander envoy, and the level is only below the commander-in-chief and the three servants." ”

Zhou Qing is really not simple, no wonder Li Cell Boss is so concerned about himself who is suspected of being concerned by Zhou Qing.

Pei Zheng's face was shocked when he heard this, and then he showed a hint of joy, as if he had gained some benefit.

Li Jiaotou saw it in his eyes, just smiled and didn't say anything.

Pei Zheng could only ask again: "Does the elder brother know anything about the Yanwu Academy?"

Li Jiaotou didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "As a famous top university in Great Xia, how many people in Chang'an City have not heard of it? ”

"By the way, why is my brother asking this?"

Pei was shy and smirked: "Don't hide it from my brother, my younger brother made some contributions to resisting the Hu people in the border city, got a letter of recommendation from the Ministry of War, and went to the Academy of Martial Arts for three years to study." ”

Li Prison suddenly became enlightened when he heard this, his background was innocent, and he was a helpless student of the Martial Arts Academy, no wonder Zhou Qing would value him, it turned out that he was cultivating the team in advance.

Regarding Pei Zheng's previous performance and some of the words he said, he "understood" all of them at once.

Li Jiaotou, who felt that he had the answer, became very enthusiastic again, and poured Pei Zheng a full cup: "Come, brother, keep drinking." ”

Pei Zheng drank it in one gulp: "The elder brother hasn't answered the younger brother's question yet, for example, what are the general tests in the entrance examination? Do you want to do something in advance? What will you learn after entering?"

Don't think about it, Li Jiaotou must not be clear about these details, just like Pei Zheng's previous life, if there is no one in the family who goes to Tsinghua University or is ready to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, even if it is a Beijinger, who will pay attention to what subjects Tsinghua University and Peking University have, and what type of questions will be taken for admission?

With that kung fu, isn't it fragrant to make money by moving bricks?

Sure enough, Li Prison Boss was asked, but how could an old fox like him easily show his stuffing, so he pretended to be displeased: "Hey, it's not easy for everyone to get together to drink today, don't talk about this, when the old brother has time, I will explain it carefully and slowly to you." ”

Pei Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and there was a chance that this thing would come to pass.

can be the head of the cell in the dungeon of Gongweisi, not to mention anything else, Li Cellhead's network in Chang'an is a hundred times stronger than Pei Zheng.

Instead of stumbling around like a fly, it's better to take the opportunity to let him help.

Before, Pei Zheng asked Li Cell for help, although the other party would agree, but he would not be too careful.

Now that the relationship between him and Zhou Qing has been "clarified", Li Prison will definitely be a lot of care.

Pei Zheng said proudly: "Thank you, brother, when I turn around, I invite my brother to go to the best restaurant in Chang'an to drink." ”

Li Jiaotou pretended to be displeased: "What is the politeness of the elder brother to the elder brother? Besides, the elder brother is about to enter the Performing Arts Academy, and there are many places to spend, so why spend that unjust money?"

"If you want to drink, my brother has enough here, you don't have to go to any restaurant, no matter when my brother comes, my brother is welcome. ”

Pei Zheng smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't worry about the silver, brother, someone promised to give me a large sum of silver." ”

It can't be Zhou Qing, right?

Li Cell Boss thought to himself, and deliberately asked, "Oh, is it? I don't know who it is?"

Pei smiled on the front, pointed inside, and said, "The one who was locked up today." ”
