Chapter Ninety-Eight: Secret Talks

Peng Ji had just sent off the assassin Shi Liangxi.

When Liang Xi entered the door, Peng Ji could hardly believe his eyes.

On the one hand, Liang Xi has a white beard, a wrinkled face, a haggard look, and looks no different from an old man in his seventies.

But? Liang Xi, who used to be equally charming, has completely dried up, walks shaking, and trembles when he speaks, no matter what, he has been an old friend for decades, and Peng Ji is still a little blocked in his heart.

On the other hand, when Liang Xi came today, Peng Ji was still a little nervous, anyway, his son killed someone's son, which directly caused the rout of the army, and to be honest, he had a ghost in his heart, so he was afraid that Liang Xi would suddenly attack, and he also told the housekeeper to prepare for the contingency.

But Liang Xi, except for a few sedan chair drivers, actually went to the door alone, which made Peng Ji a little confused, and even for a moment he wondered if he should take Liang Xi down directly and make a vote, but he dispelled this idea very much, because after thinking about it, he was still unable to control the whole city of Guzang, and doing so was tantamount to looking for death.

Liang Xi didn't say anything after he came in, just greeted and chatted, and left after drinking a cup of tea, Peng Ji sent him away stupidly, and he didn't know what he was here for.

Just as Peng Ji was about to go back to take a nap, Peng Chang, the loyal butler, said in a low voice: "Master, there is a guest here!" ”

"There is a guest, who is it, master, I want to sleep, you go out and deal with it!" Peng Ji had unbuckled his belt and was ready to get a good night's sleep, I don't know why he always felt that his spirit was not as good as in the past recently, and he was sleepy at noon.

"Sir!" Peng Chang's face was embarrassed: "That person ...... I'm afraid you'll see it! ”

"Hmm!" Peng Ji had already lay down, and sat up straight when he heard the words: "Who! ”

Peng Chang didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the west, Peng Ji understood, groaned, and said, "Okay, invite them to the inner hall to talk, and I'll be there when I speak!" ”

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Peng Ji groaned: "You immediately send the second housekeeper to take someone out, go to the pharmacy on the opposite corner to find Lao Wang, and say let him keep an eye on it!" ”

"Master, the old slave will do it!" Peng Chang hurriedly went out, after all, Lord Thorn Shi had just come today, and it didn't seem to be safe to be too guarded, so it was better to be careful.

The inner hall is the place where these officials entertain distinguished guests, but the cautious Peng Ji let Duan Ye and them go around in a big circle from a grain and oil shop on the street, and then go through the door and through the alley, and go around and around into the inner house, however, although this Peng Ji's house is already very magnificent from the outside, but Duan Ye came in and found that the more he walked inside, the more he walked in, the more he had a hole, the outer wall was an ordinary gray wall, but the inside was decorated, and the outside door looked mottled by the years. However, the shiny nails of the door paint inside are also complete, and it seems that Peng Ji knows quite the truth of the inner show and the outer Jane.

After entering the inner room, Peng Chang and Zhang Meng had seen each other, so they made a very right incision, Peng Chang confirmed their identities, and greeted them with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang has come from afar! Please sit down for a while, my lord is sending off guests, I'll be there later, I'll be there later", Peng Chang's face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly beckoned the three of them to take a seat, and naturally there was a maid serving tea, but Duan Ye looked at it, this maid was in a graceful figure, and her appearance was really not good, so she didn't pay much attention.

The three of them sat down very well, and Peng Chang confessed again, and then asked, "Mr. Zhang, these two are!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Meng just took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "This is Mr. Duan and his cousin, well, they did the same deal as Zhang, and this time they happened to make a pair!" ”

"That's it!" Peng Chang bowed his hand at Duan Ye in a friendly manner and said, "Peng Chang said hello to Mr. Duan!" ”

Duan Ye smiled and returned the courtesy, but he always felt that this Peng Chang had been looking at himself up and down, just like looking at the goods, so he was slightly displeased.

At this time, with a burst of long laughter, a middle-aged man with a handsome face strode out, although he was dressed in household clothes, and even the belt of the waist was slightly lowered, but he still looked personable, looking at his eyebrows flying obliquely into the sideburns, no matter what era the standard was used, he was an out-and-out middle-aged handsome man.

"Mr. Zhang is here, hehehe, Peng just sent off a guest, so he lost his welcome, and he looked at Haihan, cough, Peng Chang, give him tea!" Peng Jiren didn't get close yet, he just talked a lot, Duan Ye secretly observed, this is really a very good and affinity character!

The three of them stood up together and exchanged a few words with Peng Ji, Zhang Meng also briefly introduced the next paragraph of peace and derivation, Peng Ji didn't say anything else, so he sat down as the guest of honor, and Peng Chang also personally gave Duan Ye and others a really bad deal, obviously, this treatment has been improved to a higher level.

Peng Chang is a very experienced housekeeper, after serving tea, he knew that they were going to talk secretly, so he consciously squatted in the hut next to him, and there was a bell in the hut, Peng Ji as long as he pulled the rope outside, he would go out to serve, and the wall of the hut was thick, and it was still sticky with cotton, and he basically couldn't hear the conversation in the outer room, Peng Chang was very knowledgeable, he knew the things of the big guys, and the less he knew, the better.

"Hehehe, Mr. Zhang is coming to Guzang this time, I'm afraid there will be another big deal!" After the temptation, it's time to get into the right topic, Peng Ji took the lead and said, but there is nothing wrong with their affairs in the form of a big deal, on the one hand, Peng Feng is already an official in Lu Guang's place, and he already has an insurance, and the last time Zhang Meng came, he specially negotiated a business with Peng Ji on behalf of Duan Ye, and transported a batch of Gu Zang's specialties to Jiuquan when the Liang army was defeated, and then went out of the customs to the country of Weixu, which was taken over by Jiangyu, needless to say, Peng Ji and Jiangyu both made a lot of money, which can be regarded as a win-win situation.

Zhang Meng smiled, put down the teacup gently, leaned forward, and said, "Lord Fujun, the so-called Ming people don't say dark words, and now the situation is ...... Hehe, you also know, there is a communication channel between you and me, if it weren't for something important, I wouldn't come to Guzang in person, this matter is really important, I'm afraid you need to take action! ”
