Zheng Peng whispered a few words to Lu Shu, and then asked, "Someone, who may I ask?" ”

"I'm the head of the yellow catcher in this county, and I'm here to find out about the situation." There was a hoarse voice from the tip of the old ghost Huang from outside the door.

The surname Huang?

Zheng Peng immediately linked him with Huang Laohu, in a small county town, the power of the clan is very strong, and there are many relatives and relatives, and he did not relax on him because Huang Lao Ghost reported his head catch, but secretly vigilant in his heart.

When he opened the door and saw the old ghost Huang who was some age and wearing the official uniform of the yamen, Zheng Peng just paused for a moment, and soon said indifferently: "It turned out to be Huang Zhutou, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

Compared with the ordinary people on the street just now, Zheng Peng's attitude can be said to be a bit arrogant, not to mention flattering, there is even some disdain in his words, but Huang Lao Ghost didn't care, but said with a smile: "You are Zheng Peng, Zheng Xiaolangjun, right?" ”

Scholars look down on the yamen errands, this is a common problem of poverty and acidity, Huang Lao Ghost does not care when he sees a lot, on the contrary, seeing that Zheng Peng is still a little like Leng Touqing, he is secretly happy in his heart: This kind of person is best to deal with.

"That's right."

Huang Lao Ghost had a harmless smile on his face, and said approachablely: "I heard that there is a faceless person on Guiyu Street, this head catcher will take a look according to the rules, and by the way, see what Xiao Langjun needs." ”

After Zheng Peng answered, Huang Lao Ghost just asked a few questions casually and said okay, it can be seen that he came this time, just going through the motions as usual, or that he trusts Zheng Peng very much.

After asking, Zheng Peng gave Lu Shu a look on the side, Lu Shu understood, took out a handful of copper coins, about ten yuan, and handed it to Huang Lao Ghost with a smile: "Huang Zhutou, thank you for your hard work, take this money to drink a bowl of tea to quench your thirst." ”

The officials of the yamen have no quality and no rank, and they are insignificant small roles in the officialdom, but they are very strong in front of the ordinary people.

When Old Ghost Huang saw it, he immediately took two steps back and said with a straight face: "Xiao Langjun, what is this?" Quickly take it back, the most disgusting thing about this head catcher is this bad wind, which is embarrassing for the little one. ”

Don't be better, Zheng Peng doesn't like meat buns to beat dogs, and when he heard this, he motioned for Lu Shu to put it away, and his tone softened a little: "Huang Zhutou is high and bright, but I am pedantic, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

A trivial matter, just send a hand, now come here in person, not only with a spring breeze, but also without running errands, Zheng Peng's heart is like a mirror: This old boy has a lot of ambitions.

Old Ghost Huang said a few polite words, and then said with a sincere face: "Xiao Langjun has come here, he has said that he is a guest, and if you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time, and I appreciate a personable young talent like Xiao Langjun." ”

The fox's tail was revealed, and as soon as he encountered difficulties, this old fellow jumped out at the right time, and if his thoughts were simple, he might have caught his way.

Zheng Peng gave Lu Shu a look, pretended to hesitate, and then shook his head and said, "Thank you Huang Zhutou for your kindness, it's good to live here, there is no difficulty for the time being." ”

"No, young master, can't we receive pigs into the water, it's better to inquire with Huang Zhutou, where are the pigs in the water to pick up, Huang Zhutou must be very familiar with this place, it's right to ask him." Lu Shu whispered on the side.

"What are these words?" Zheng Peng's face changed, and he immediately reprimanded: "Huang Zhutou is responsible for the security of the entire Guixiang County, and he is very busy every day, how can such a trivial matter bother him?" ”

Huang Lao Ghost was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't expect that the surname Zheng was easier to deal with than he imagined, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Xiaolangjun is serious, you and I meet is fate, and besides, when we eat the emperor's grain, we are doing something for the villagers, what's the matter, the two of you want the pig to go into the water?" ”

"Yes, Huang Zhutou, where is it sold?" Lu Shu said anxiously.

"I thought it was a big deal, it's easy to do" Huang Lao Ghost said generously: "If you want to get rare treasures, it's no problem to get a few pairs of pigs into the water, so let's go around, and if I find it, let someone send it, let's say it first, the pig is not worth money, and then Xiao Langjun will give a few dollars for running errands." ”

is too enthusiastic, but it is easy to make people suspicious, Huang Laogui asked for a few errand money, just to dispel Zheng Peng's doubts and control the "degree".

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Laogui's words came out, Zheng Peng thanked him again and again, and personally sent him out when he left.

Much more polite than when we first met.

Huang Lao Ghost said goodbye with a smile on his face, but he felt a little more contempt in his heart: I thought it was so powerful, but in fact, it was just a chick, the family here was surrounded by four walls, and the family situation was definitely not much better, so easy to deal with the poor acid, I really couldn't understand how his nephew Huang Laohu could fold it in his hands, or folded it twice in a row.

Nine times out of ten, it is the guy who does not grow up, and when he sees the little beautiful maid, he is heartbroken, and he estimates that he can't remember what his dead Lao Tzu is called, and when he comes out of the prison of the county government, he has to beat him well.

Coming back from Guiyu Street, Huang Lao Ghost didn't go on patrol anymore, and went straight home, about half an hour later, a subordinate went into the water with three pairs of pigs, and took advantage of the last afterglow of the sunset to send it to Zheng Peng.

Not long after the servant left, a maidservant reported that Zhou Chong had an urgent matter to see.

As soon as Zhou Chong entered the study, he immediately reported: "I just saw the mad dog taking a few pairs of pigs into the water to send them to the surnamed Zheng, and after the little one stopped him, the mad dog said that this was what Jian Ye meant, so..."

Huang Lao Ghost picked up a small spoon, elegantly scooped a spoonful of Solomon candy and put it in the teapot, and said calmly while shaking the teapot with his hand: "That's right, I ordered it." ”

"Jian Ye, didn't you say that you were going to cut off his supply, how... Changed your mind? ”

Zhou Chong was a little puzzled, for the recipe of braised meat, Huang Lao Ghost was very attentive, and sent a lot of people before and after, just cut off his supply, and sent it to him in a blink of an eye, what does this mean?

Huang Lao Ghost poured a full cup of tea, picked it up gently, took a sip slowly, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he said slowly: "That's right, I changed my mind, but it's not to let him go, but there is no need to spend too much effort on him, give him a quick knife to cut the mess, so as not to have too many dreams at night and extraneous branches." ”

The braised meat is delicious, the business is booming, the more you earn, the easier it is to attract people's eyes, after testing Zheng Peng, Huang Lao Ghost decided to speed up the start.

Zhou Chong's eyes rolled, and he quickly guessed Huang Laogui's intentions: those pigs must have done tricks and feet, once the surnamed Zheng used the pigs to make braised meat, he fell into the trap of Jian Ye, as long as he was caught in the prison of the county government, whether he would be rounded or flattened at that time, was not Jian Ye's words?

High, really high.

"Master Jian, then how many people will I arrange to buy braised pork tomorrow?" Zhou Chong said tentatively.

"Go ahead, find a few smarter ones."

As soon as Zhou Chong heard it, he understood that there was a problem with the braised meat, but it would not be fatal, it was mostly a symptom of dizziness and vomiting, and he knew it in his heart, and saw that Huang Lao Ghost had no other instructions, so he retreated by himself.

After Zhou Chong left, Huang Lao Ghost drank the tea with Solomon candy with taste, and when he thought of his pride, he couldn't help humming a few tunes.

If there is no accident, tomorrow the braised meat will have the surname "Huang".

When Huang Laohu hummed the song proudly, Lu Shu was also full of joy and hummed a little song to the three pairs of pigs that others had just sent: I was still worried that I would run out of stock and have no income tomorrow, but I never thought that Huang Zhutou really found the pig and sent three pairs at once.

It's really sleepy to send pillows, it's so timely.

"Young master, I'll clean these pigs in the water, and remember to deal with them after you finish eating the snacks." Lu Shu shouted to Zheng Peng, who was lazily eating pastries in the living room.

Zheng Peng held a piece of osmanthus cake in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth while eating, walked to the pile of pigs into the water, pinched the pigs in the water with his hand, and put it in front of his nose to smell it, and quickly shook his head and said, "Lushu, don't wash it." ”

"Don't wash? Master, don't we make braised pork? The pigs were sent to the water. ”

Zheng Peng pointed to the pigs in the water and whispered: "You careless little girl, how do you feel when you touch these pigs in the water?" ”

"It's a little cold."

"Smell it?"

"It's fresh, no problem."

Zheng Peng shook his head and said: "It's too fresh, although it is late autumn now, a few hours after the pigs are taken out of the water, there must be a little smell, but these pigs can't smell the water, if you guess well, these pigs are put in the ice cellar to ice." ”

"The pigs that no one wants go into the water, and suddenly they are all snatched up, and they are willing to use ice to keep them fresh, what do you think of?"

Lu Shu's heart was excited, and she hurriedly said, "Young Master, you mean, that Huang Zhutou is the person who dealt with us behind our back?" ”

"Even if you are not stupid yet" Zheng Peng tapped Lu Shu's head, nodded and said: "It's just that the surname is the same, you can't judge it; Coming to inspect it can also be seen as politeness and coincidence; But through these pig offal, it can definitely be inseparable from him. ”

"Young master, then, what to do with these pigs in the water?"

Zheng Peng thought about it, and kicked the pig to the ground: "The weasel worships the chicken, what kind can you be at?" Anyway, it's only a dozen pennies, and I threw it away. ”

Looking at the pig covered with mud on the ground, Lu Shu said with some heartache: "Young master, what can we do about this, what will we sell tomorrow?" ”

Zheng Peng smiled mysteriously, and said in a tricky way: "It is said that mountain people have their own clever plans, listen to me, and I guarantee that you will receive money tomorrow..."
