Chapter 93: Three bowls don't pour

After sending Chang Wei and the others to prison, Du Zhongxiao wrote a letter and ordered Qiao Baoping to send Pegasus to Bozhou. There must be a handwritten reply from Xia Zhu to confirm the identities of these three people. According to common sense, with Xia Zhu's status, he would not do such an unreliable thing. But this Xia Xianggong likes to play cards out of common sense, not to mention sending slaves to do things, there are several slaves in his family who have won the official position because of Xia Zhu's grace.

After the cooking, Du Zhongxiao arrived at the back office alone, ordered someone to serve tea, and sat for a while. Central Plains is like this as an official, and it is often difficult to deal with big people who are their bosses. Han Yi took advantage of himself, and now he has changed to Xia Zhu, which makes Du Zhongxiao feel very tricky. and Xia Zhuzuo can't afford to offend Du Zhongxiao, and the difference in status between the two is too great. Tie up Xia Zhu Du Zhongxiao and don't want to, not to mention that Xia Zhu is not a good person, as far as his political enemies leave Du Zhongxiao's impression, the farther away from this person, the better.

Xia Zhu is a lover of talents, and there are many people he has promoted for decades, otherwise he would not have today's status. But this person is scheming, but he is extremely smart, has a very high self-esteem, does things unpredictably, and is not a good person to get along with.

When Du Zhongxiao went to Bozhou last time, Xia Zhu had a good impression of himself, and he had the meaning of using the camp as a test field. But now he sent a few house slaves to inspect the autumn grain, which made Du Zhongxiao confused, and he didn't know what Xia Zhu meant. Sending house slaves to deal with official affairs is a great disrespect to Du Zhongxiao, not that Xia Zhu's status is too high, Du Zhongxiao escorted Chang Wei and the three of them back to him. But after thinking about it, Xia Zhu has a different understanding of the relationship between people, maybe he wants to come and send a house slave to show his closeness.

With a sigh, Du Zhongxiao stood up. Guessing people's minds is the most boring and torturous thing, but Xia Zhu arranged such a problem for himself. Now I have to take one step at a time, not to be weak, so as not to leave other officials with the truth to arrange themselves, and not to offend Xia Zhu too hard, otherwise Xia Xianggong will move to others, it is not so simple.

When they arrived in the garden, Du Zhongxiao summoned Luo Jing, Shisanlang and others, and ordered Qiao Baoping to prepare a wine feast to suppress the shock of several people.

At this time, Luo Jing fully recovered, stepped forward and whispered to Du Zhongxiao: "Official, although those three people are domineering, but in the small opinion, they don't seem to be fakes, and they may really be the doormen of the Zhizhou Xianggong." When I was in the courtyard of Baozheng, I was tied up there, listening to the gossip of the three people, and how the family of the prime minister was doing. If it is fake, how can you know so many things in the father-in-law's house? ”

Du Zhongxiao said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a member of the Xianggong family, it is only a slave, how can you despise the court and bind people?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Jing said: "It's all small and bad, and it caused this disaster." Officials, the small ones are tied up, and there is no big problem. Want to know what kind of person the state minister is? How to be able to offend. It's better to let those three people go, so as not to harm the minister and miss the future of the official. ”

Du Zhongxiao said with a smile: "I let them go, but I missed my future." Let the slaves of the governor disturb the place, I can't punish him as the marquis of a hundred miles, if I am handed over to the court, how can I, the magistrate, do it? This matter has nothing to do with you, don't think about it. ”

Luo Jing was still apprehensive in his heart, for fear that he would let Du Zhongxiao conflict with Zhizhou because of himself. He came thousands of miles and had to be reused by Du Zhongxiao, and he was extremely grateful to Du Zhongxiao. If it is because of a trivial matter of his own, he delays the official career of the county magistrate, then there is no redemption for death.

In fact, the matter has nothing to do with Luo Jing now, and it is impossible for Du Zhongxiao not to punish Chang Wei and the others. Conniving at the murder of the boss's servants will leave a very bad impression on those who are now in power. Not to mention that now everyone in Xia Zhu is shouting and beating, and he is looked down upon by the sergeant doctor, and he is assigned to Xia Zhu's party by them, and the road in the future will be difficult. A few days ago, Xia Zhu defended himself in the last chapter, and the bachelor Sun Luan who answered wrote a sentence: "The effect of the picture, Mo Ruoxuan is loyal and diligent; slander, Mo Ruoxiu practice", it can be said that there is no face at all. This is the attitude of the sergeant doctor towards Xia Zhu now, and he almost pointed at his nose and scolded, how could he get into trouble.

Seeing the chicken, duck and fish meat on the table, Shisanlang's eyes straightened. He had never seen such a sumptuous feast when he had grown so big. Compared with what is on the table now, the banquet when Anzaburo got married was simply eaten by a beggar, but it was the most luxurious meal that Shisanro had ever eaten.

He commanded them to sit down, and the servants filled each of them with wine.

"Ah, this is a powerful liquor, and I can drink it in my mouth today! I only heard about it before, but I finally got to see it! As soon as the wine was poured into the bowl, Jusan Lang screamed. He has been a good drinker since he was a child, but his family is poor, and even the private brew in the village can only be drunk once in a while. A large bowl was poured in front of him, making it feel like a dream.

On the side, Luo Jing saw that Thirteen Lang was out of shape, so he hurriedly pulled him and said in a low voice: "There are county officials sitting over there, don't shout!" ”

Thirteen Lang was shocked, and hurriedly sang a promise to Du Zhongxiao.

Du Zhongxiao thought this big man was interesting, and said to him: "It seems that you are a good winemaker, how many bowls can you drink?" ”

Thirteen Lang scratched his head: "The little one has ever drunk such fine wine, and it is said that he has strength, and the gods are also drunk, so he really doesn't know how many bowls to drink." I used to drink village wine, which didn't taste good, but I never got drunk. ”

Du Zhongxiao asked again: "Then how much have you drunk village wine?" ”

Shisanlang gestured at the bowl in front of him and said, "I've drunk three bowls at most." - Wine costs a lot of money, and you can't afford to drink any more. ”

Du Zhongxiao laughed: "Okay, I'll let you drink as much as you want today." By the way, everyone calls you Thirteen Lang, but they don't know what your name is. ”

"Poor people, why bother with any name, everyone knows that my surname is Wu, I am Thirteen Lang, and I won't call the wrong person."

Du Zhongxiao slapped the table: "That's it, if you don't get drunk after drinking three bowls of this spirit, how about I give you a name?" ”

Thirteen Lang was overjoyed, stood up, and said with his hands crossed: "Thank you, official!" After speaking, he picked up the wine bowl on the table and drank it dry.

This bowl of wine went down, and Thirteen Lang only felt a hot breath, down his throat, all the way to the dantian, which was extremely comfortable. Interested, he patted the table and said, "Come again, it's full!" This kind of fine wine, no wonder it costs dozens of dollars a pound! Officials reward, I want to drink a heart! ”

Seeing Du Zhongxiao nodding, the messenger came up and poured a big bowl for Thirteen Lang.

After three bowls in a row, Shisanlang only felt extremely happy, his whole body was hot, and he seemed to be about to fly. Picked up the wine bowl, lit up to Du Zhongxiao, and said: "Official, I drank three bowls, and I only felt comfortable, but I was not drunk at all." Please give me a name! ”

Du Zhongxiao felt that this person was very cute, and he had nothing to say, and he went straight to it. Getting along with them is much more interesting than getting along with officialdom bigwigs like Xia Zhu. After a little thought, he said, "I'll give you a 'pine' word." As the saying goes, 'stand like a pine, sit like a clock', you are a person who practices martial arts, and you must be the last person to stand on the right side in the future. ”

Thirteen Lang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, this name is good." In the future, I will not only be Thirteen Lang, but also Wu Song. ”

Du Zhongxiao laughed together. He was just in a whim, because Thirteen Lang's surname was Wu, so he gave him such a name. I hope he can be like the hero in the Water Margin, with clear grievances and grievances, chivalrous and righteous, and don't live up to this name.
