Tuoba Yan left Zhengyang County with the reluctant Murong Hai and a group of others, and they were mixed in a group of grain teams that were transported to the front line, this is Li's grain team, of course, after this batch of grain arrives at the front line, part of it will enter the Ningyuan area through Li Wei's defense area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Yan people represented by info Tuoba Yan have reached an agreement with Li Wei, Ge Xiang and other Zhengyang County bigwigs, they will get grain from each other at a price twice the market price, and other things such as steel and weapons will be officially started after this route has stabilized.

In this team, there is another special character, Qin Li from the ghost shadow of Qi State, Qin Li, who has been active in the Fuyuan region, has completely changed Li Wei's originally hesitant mentality. In any case, Qi is still the largest country in the world, no matter the land or people, its national strength is not comparable to the newly established Ming Dynasty. What's more, although the Yan people are trapped in one place now, if they echo the Qi people's things and attack from both sides, Li Wei feels that there is little hope that Da Ming can survive.

The nature of a businessman has influenced Li Wei at this moment, betting on both sides or a wiser choice, it is wise to leave a way back for himself, like now, he has made money without knowing it, and has taken the line of Qi State, Li Wei feels quite good.

On the evening of the day when Tuoba Yan Qin Li and others left Zhengyang County, Wang Hou, the official from Yuejing, arrived in Zhengyang County, and the county guard Liao Hui held a banquet in the county guard mansion to entertain Wang Hou and his party.

Liao Hui was a little uneasy, the news that Wang Hou was going to come to Zhengyang County had already been sent to Zhengyang County, and the date had been determined, but people like Li Wei, Ge Xiang and others were already busy with military affairs, and the barbarians refused to return to Zhengyang County on the grounds that Jiang Haokun had a change.

In fact, what Wang Houlai is doing, everyone knows it, the reform of official governance vigorously promoted by the imperial court has been strongly resisted in Zhengyang County, and basically it has not moved, even if the imperial court has killed in Shunping County because of this, it has not touched Zhengyang County a little. In their opinion, those people in Shunping County are really stupid, in order to resist the reform of the official rule, they actually killed the officials sent by the imperial court, and then framed him, isn't this a clear slap in the face of the court, and it is a loud sound, how can the court tolerate it? And when doing these things, there are always clues to be found, and it is difficult to say that they can be airtight. Sure enough, Tian Zhen came out, and within ten months, the truth was revealed, from the county guard to the ordinary officials, as many as dozens of people were cut off their heads, and as many as 100 people were dismissed and lost their posts.

Zhengyang County is much smarter, the court came, they coaxed, offered, if it didn't work, they concealed it, deceived, and the small means were endless, in short, you had nothing to say, but you couldn't get the slightest evidence of them. can only eat coptis dumbly, and I can't say the bitterness.

Of course, there are consequences, that is, it provokes the boss of the ministry, Wang Hou.

Who is Wang Hou, everyone knows very well, from the earliest hero of the dragon, when the emperor is still in the grass as a bandit, he took refuge with his family and became the highest decision-making level of the Taiping Army at that time.

Wang Hou has such qualifications, so he is naturally extremely authoritative, not only that, because Wang Hou's decades of career as a small official, but also made Zhengyang County's previous small tricks almost no room to be used, these tricks are okay to deal with those who read, but against Wang Hou, who is also proficient in this way, it will be humiliating.

In that case, it is simply not visible. Li Wei and Ge Xiang returned to the front line on the grounds of military affairs, leaving only one Liao Hui in Zhengyang County to deal with Wang Hou.

Without the participation of Li Geliang, Wang Hou's actions in Zhengyang County would naturally not be able to get the desired results.

Liao Hui, the county guard who knew this, was full of apprehension and welcomed this legendary and powerful official Wang Hou.

"Boss, please, please, the lower official has prepared a little thin wine to wash the dust for the boss, and please don't dislike the simplicity." Liao Hui, who was full of smiles, bent down deeply in front of Wang Hou.

"Liao Junshou is polite, polite!" Although he is about to step into the threshold of ancient rarity in his sixties, Wang Hou's spirit this year is more vigorous than before. First, of course, he is now in a high position, pampered, and no longer as hard as before, and secondly, he is also in good spirits on happy occasions, and his daughter's lifelong event has finally settled, before he came to Zhengyang County, Qin Feng, as Shu Chang's friend rather than the emperor, personally came to the door to say goodbye to Shu Chang, and the matter was settled. Wang Hou, who ended this heart disease, felt several years younger. Wang Hou, who only got this daughter in his forties, has always regarded Wang Yueyao as the little meat on the tip of his heart, and hated Shu Hui because of the entanglement between his daughter and Shu Hui back then. In his plan, as long as Wang Yueyao is pregnant with a little grandson, he will quit the officialdom and go home to take the baby.

His eyes swept over the delicacies on the table in the hall, and Wang Hou was surprised: "Liao Junshou, if you are still simple, then my Wang usually eats pig food, tsk, what is this plate?" The quality is really impressive, and the smell is mouth-watering! ”

"Boss, this is stir-fried chicken tongue, it's very common." Liao Hui introduced.

Wang Hou was dumbfounded: "Chicken tongue, this plate of chicken tongue, doesn't it take dozens of chickens to slaughter to get it?" All in all, this dish is really worth a lot! What about this? ”

"This is steamed foie gras, with a special marinade, which is the most delicious and appetizing."

There are more than a dozen dishes on the case, Wang Hou boasts that he has also seen the world, but he doesn't know any of them, and when Liao Hui introduces them one by one, he is also amazed, just this table of dishes, I am afraid that ordinary people can earn it for several years, but this same dish, there are eight tables in the hall, at this time, behind each table, there are already people standing, looking at Wang Hou respectfully one by one.

Turning around, Wang Hou smiled and said: "It's really an eye-opener, Lord Liao, I'm going to feast on it today, come, introduce these handsome people who came here today!" ”

Liao Hui smiled and pointed to the first table, "This is Li Si of the Li family, and his brother is Li Wei, the general of the righteous people's army, the Li family is in Zhengyang County, and has always been enthusiastic about public welfare, paving roads and bridges, helping the poor and weak, and is famous in Zhengyang County." ”

"It turned out to be Li Wei's younger brother, General Li has made a great contribution to the country, when Liu Xingwen attacked Zhengyang last year, the Xu clan resisted stubbornly, if it weren't for General Li to abandon the darkness and surrender to the Ming, and revolt in battle, I am afraid that there will be a hard battle in Zhengyang County, and more importantly, he may not be able to catch up with the siege of Yuejing, then maybe the Yue army is still unwilling to give up, the Li family is loyal!"

"The boss has won the prize. It's all Your Majesty's Shengming, my Li family has long been thinking about Your Majesty's majesty, and I have long had the heart to take refuge, just trying to find the most suitable time, God is pitiful, and finally let us wait. This time the old man came over, but the barbarian was quite uninteresting, but at this time to make trouble, the brother could not come to the old man to wash the dust, very regrettable, specially sent someone to tell the next, must apologize to the old man, and when the barbarian stopped, the brother will personally come to the old man to accompany the sin. ”

"No, no, no." Wang Hou said with a smile: "It's all about running for state affairs, just do your own thing." ”

"Boss, this is Ge Xingmin of the Ge family, the uncle of General Ge Xiang of Changyang Ying." Liao Hui pointed to the first seat on the right and introduced to Wang Hou.

"Ge Xing, uh-huh, like General Levi, they all made great contributions in that battle!" Wang Hou nodded again and again, looked at Ge Xingmin and said: "You don't have to apologize for General Ge, I know that since Li Wei has a barbarian to make trouble, then his Jiang Haokun will definitely not be honest, state affairs are important, state affairs are important." ”

Introduced all the way, the seven or eight seats in the hall are all wealthy families in Zhengyang County, it can also be said that the people in this hall are the people who really control the real strength of Zhengyang County, and the government is just a powerful tool in their hands.

Wang Hou sneered in his heart, but his face was smiling. Let's be happy, but let's see, how long can you jump.

After introducing all the guests in the hall, Liao Hui accompanied Wang Hou back to the chief, and when Wang Hou sat down, Liao Hui personally held the wine jug, "Boss, my Liao family has always been in the wine industry, this wine, but I have treasured the good wine for many years, and I have always been reluctant to take it out. ”

The amber wine was poured into the bowl, and the aroma of the wine was immediately overflowing, Wang Hou sniffed deeply, closed his eyes and praised continuously, "Good wine, good wine, even in the palace, I can't drink such good wine, hahaha, after eating this meal today, I have to brag with the emperor after I go back, Your Majesty invited me to eat countless meals, but every time it is so many dishes of home-cooked food, a bowl of braised pork, a plate of steamed fish, a few side dishes will send me away, those wines, said to be tribute wine, haha, but compared to your wine, But it's not half a star! Lord Liao, you, the county guard of Zhengyang, are more comfortable than the emperor! ”

When these words came out, Liao Hui's face changed color, this word can be heavy or light, at worst, it is a joke, and if it is serious, this is arrogant. Even the emperor is so frugal, and you, a small magistrate, are so extravagant.

Seeing that Liao Hui's face was a little pale, Li Si, who was on the left, smiled and relieved the siege: "Your Majesty is worried about the people, how can we compare?" For us, loyalty is just some enjoyment. If we want to talk about this wine, we have known Lord Liao for many years, but we have never seen him come out to entertain guests, that is, the old man came, so he was willing to bleed heavily. However, Lord Liao, Your Majesty is so frugal, and we are indeed deeply ashamed, and if you still have this wine, you should also offer some to Your Majesty. ”

"There is still a little bit, I will send someone into Beijing to send it to the emperor immediately." Liao Hui wiped the cold sweat from his face.

"A joke, a joke, why is it so serious?" Wang Hou laughed. "Come on, come on, you will drink this wine with me, and wish us a prosperous Daming."
