"What's the problem?" Li Zhi looked at Li Hao puzzled, and said, "It's just that you didn't invite me to the banquet, what's the problem?" ”

Li Hao turned his head and asked Li Zhi: "Your Highness, in terms of status, status and power, you are no bigger than me." ”

"Yes." Li Zhi nodded.

Li Hao said: "Then it stands to reason that he should invite you to the banquet, not me." ”

"That's right." Li Zhi scratched his head, "This is also what I don't understand." ”

"Your Highness doesn't understand, but I do." Li Hao sneered, "This Qin Miao invited me to the banquet, he must have wanted to buy me, after all, His Royal Highness is a prince, so he can't buy me, as for why he wants to buy me, hehe, he must have done something unseemly......"

"Huh?" Li Zhi's mind was still very simple, and when he heard Li Hao's words, he immediately glared and asked, "Is what Mr. said seriously?" ”

"It's just my conjecture, I won't know the truth until I go to the banquet." Li Hao smiled lightly, "But, I can guarantee that this Qin Miao's ass is not very clean." ”

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "That gentleman hurry up to the banquet to see if this Qin Miao is a good official or a bad official, if it is a corrupt official and a corrupt official, we will take him directly." ”

"It's not that simple." Li Hao said, "Although His Royal Highness is a prince, Qin Miao is also a feudal official, and there is no evidence, His Royal Highness is not easy to deal with him, only with tangible evidence." ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Okay, it's troublesome sir, we must not delay the disaster treatment, the group of victims outside are still waiting for the government to save it." ”

Li Hao smiled and arched his hand: "Your Highness is here to rest for a while, and I will go to find out how deep the water in Dingzhou is." ”

Li Zhi arched his hand and said, "Sir, be careful." ”

Li Hao left Lu Yun to protect the King of Jin, and he took Chen Song and the twelve Xuanjia troops to the Assassin's Mansion, and when he arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Qin Miao personally went out to greet him, and the etiquette was quite long, Li Hao saw this and became more and more sure of his thoughts, and he must ask for something from others, but he didn't show anything on the surface, Qin Miao played official with himself, and he also played official with him, some talked and laughed, all of which were not nutritious.

The banquet was set in the living room, after Li Hao entered the hall, he saw that the two tables were displayed face to face, regardless of the host and guest, the wine and food had already been prepared on the case, which was extraordinarily rich, and when this catastrophe occurred, such a sumptuous banquet was actually put on the table, Li Hao couldn't help but sneer secretly, Qin Miao had been included in the death list.

"Li Xianhou, please take a seat." Qin Miao bowed slightly, and invited Li Hao to sit down with a smile on her face.

Li Hao was not hypocritical, went over and sat down, glanced at the wine and food on the table, and said with a smile: "What a sumptuous banquet, Lord Qin bothered." ”

"Where, where." Qin Miao also sat down at the table, seeing that Li Hao seemed to like this banquet very much, he was already happy, and said, "The Marquis of Li County is a distinguished guest, and he has already treated disasters on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol at a young age, which shows how important His Majesty is, such a small banquet, the lower officials feel that they have neglected Marquis Li." ”

Li Hao's official position is indeed higher than him, and he also has a knighthood, and it is not wrong for him to call himself an official, but in terms of power, Li Hao still can't compare with him, after all, he is a feudal official, Li Hao is just a scientific researcher, but Li Hao is a Beijing official, or a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he can talk to the emperor, Qin Miao naturally wants to slap him.

Li Hao waved his hand and said with a light smile: "Alas, Lord Qin's words are serious, this time it is the King of Jin who is responsible for the disaster control, and Benhou is only responsible for protecting the safety of the King of Jin, not to mention the Heavenly Patrol." ”

Qin Miao said with a smile on his face: "Hou Ye Li should not be humble, who doesn't know, King Jin has just entered the age of fourteen, how can His Majesty rest assured that he will entrust the task of disaster control to him, on the surface, it is the King of Jin who will control the disaster, but in fact, all things are still done by Hou Ye." ”

Li Hao smiled silently when he heard this, this Qin Miao is really an old driver in officialdom, and he has already understood these ways clearly, but he didn't figure out one thing, that is, he has a good relationship with King Jin, and he is also a teacher and a friend.

Qin Miao saw that Li Hao was just smiling, and knew that Li Hao had acquiesced, and then shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Hou Ye's generation is a masterpiece, he has taken on such a great task of disaster control, and he has worked hard, but in the end, he will be given credit by King Jin, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Li Hao pretended to smile helplessly and said: "Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries, Benhou can't help it, who makes the family a prince." There was a strong sour smell in the words.

"That's right." Qin Miao was even happier when she saw Li Hao say this, and in terms of words, she wanted to pull Li Hao to the united front with herself, and said, "The Marquis of Li County and the lower officials are just courtiers, so naturally they can't be compared with the royal people. ”

He picked up his wine glass and said, "Li Xianhou, on such a cold day, drink a glass of warm wine to warm up your body first, and the lower officials will respect you." ”

Li Hao also picked up the wine glass, and he had a drink, from the morning to now, Li Hao has not eaten, which is very tormenting for him who is used to lunch, although it is a bit against his conscience to eat such a sumptuous meal at the time of the catastrophe, but he thought about it again, if he doesn't eat, these delicacies can't reach the mouths of the people, it is better to eat him hard, relieve his anger, so he opened his stomach and ate hard, muttering secretly in his heart, eating you is equivalent to biting you, you are not a stolen official who is not the master of the people, I'll kill you when I find out the evidence of your corruption!

Qin Miao was shocked by Li Hao's murderous appearance of eating, and almost thought that Li Hao was not faked by some disaster victim, he just watched Li Hao eat the whole time, and he didn't use chopsticks much.

After a long time, Li Hao finally felt refreshed, threw away his chopsticks and exhaled happily, and said, "Lord Qin, since Benhou is here this time, let's ask by the way, how is the disaster in Dingzhou, and how is Lord Qin treated?" ”

Qin Miao hurriedly said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the disaster situation in Dingzhou is a few points worse than that of Hengzhou and Yizhou, so the lower officials sent an urgent report to the imperial court very early, asking for disaster relief food, but now it has been twenty days, and the imperial court's disaster relief food has not yet arrived, and the outside of the city has long been full of mourning, and the lower officials are also so worried that they can't sleep every night." ”

Li Hao said: "Dingzhou is a huge state city, is there no money and grain in the treasury?" ”

Qin Miao suddenly had a bitter face, and said: "Master Hou, the wind and rain in Dingzhou in the past two years have not been too smooth, when the heavy snow came, there were only 5,000 stones of grain in the treasury, and more than 1,000 pieces of money. ”

"Oh." Li Hao nodded thoughtfully, he had already scolded Qin Miao ten million times in his heart, if he hadn't personally inquired in the refugee group before, he would really believe his nonsense, Qin Miao only gave porridge for three days, set up thirty tents, and bought some tattered old quilts and cotton clothes, these consumption definitely did not add up to more than one thousand stone grain, and five hundred yuan, how could it be so much to consume five thousand stone grain.

Besides, why is there only such a little money and grain in the warehouse, when he was in Hengzhou, he had already inquired about Hengzhou's assassin Shi Lu Dong, not to mention the past two years, in the past four years, although Heng, Ding, and Yi Sanzhou are not able to talk about the wind and rain, but the harvest is absolutely okay, although the grain can only be stored for two years, but it is definitely more than 5,000 stones, the population of Dingzhou is obviously more than the population of Hengzhou, how can the grain be less than Hengzhou, there must be something greasy in this.

Li Hao thought for a long time, and said quietly: "In this way, it is really difficult for Lord Qin, now the number of victims outside the city is increasing every day, and the food brought by Benhou and King Jin may only last for five or six days, and the food for disaster relief from the imperial court does not know when it will arrive, we must get some more food." ”

Qin Miao's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he asked, "Master Hou, why don't you let the King of Jin give an order to go to Dingzhou to rule the county seat of Zhoulin to transfer grain......

"Never." Li Hao was very angry when he heard this, the imperial court had an order, in the year of disaster and famine, the state and county should not transfer grain from the county under his rule, there are refugees in the state and county, is there no refugee in the county. And what Qin Miao's idea, Li Hao naturally knew that he wanted to use the name of King Jin to transfer grain, and then greed for ink from it, with the umbrella of King Jin, no one dared to blame him for transferring grain, which was why Li Hao was angry.

Although Li Hao was angry, he still held back, and if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan.

Qin Miao's face was full of confusion when she heard this: "What should I do?" Please show it to the Hou Ye. ”

Li Hao pretended to frown and ponder for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Ben Hou remembers that there is a big family in Dingzhou, surnamed Cui, which seems to be called ...... Bolingtri's? ”

Qin Miao's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he bowed his head and said: "Yes, Master Hou, the Boling Cui clan is a wang clan, which originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been more than 600 years old, and ranks first among the five surnames along with the Qinghe Cui clan. ”

"Oh, that's good." Li Hao clapped his hands happily when he heard this, "Since their family has a big business and has accumulated for hundreds of years, it must be extremely rich, and it coincides with such a catastrophe year, it is the time for them to serve the country, let them donate food for the time being, help the people, and afterwards Benhou and King Jin will ask for credit for them." ”

Qin Miao flashed a subtle sneer in Lianshan, and arched his hand: "Master Hou might as well try it, the Cui family is in Anping County, and it is seventy miles east from here." ”

Li Hao naturally noticed Qin Miao's sneer, why didn't he sneer in his heart, this Qin Miao thought he was smart, he wanted to let himself touch the nail, he just wanted to touch the nail, he had already guessed that it would be impossible for the Boling Cui clan to borrow grain, he just went to find out the attitude of the Boling Cui clan, and by the way, to see if the Boling Cui clan had made any small moves.

"Okay, Ben Hou will go to Anping County tomorrow to borrow grain from Cui's family." Li Hao got up and arched his hand towards Qin Miao and said, "Thank you Lord Qin for your hospitality this time, it's not too early, it's time to go back." So he got up and prepared to take his leave.

"Master Hou is serious, Master Hou, please wait a moment." Qin Miao said and clapped her hands slowly, only to see two beautiful girls with slender bodies coming out of the room, and these two girls looked exactly the same, they were actually twins.

Li Hao was stunned and asked, "Lord Qin, this is ......?"

Qin Miao smiled and said: "Hou Ye, these two beauties were bought by Xia Guan with all his savings recently, although they are not alluring, but they are also beautiful and delicious, and the most important thing is that these two women are exactly the same regardless of their figure and voice, and they are still virgins. ”

Li Hao was secretly annoyed when he heard this, this Qin Miao is really a good and welcoming thing, so good at giving gifts, if he gives himself gold, silver and jewelry, he can't help but look down on him, I didn't expect to give two twin beauties, such a gift, for other people, I'm afraid it's really difficult to refuse, but the beauties around Li Hao are all like flowers, although the twins are distinctive, but it is not enough to make him tempted, Li Hao wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, since he wants to do this Qin Miao, it is better not to let him be suspicious for the time being, this gift has to be accepted.

As soon as he thought of this, he entered the play in a second, and said with a smile: "How embarrassing is this, Lord Qin has a heart, a heart." After that, he stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the two beauties and dragged them to the side, and the two beauties really obediently stuck to Li Hao's arms.

Qin Miao saw Li Hao's action, and when he saw that he was an old driver, he smiled even more happily, and arched his hand: "I also hope that the Hou Ye can say a few kind words in front of the King of Jin and the emperor on behalf of the lower officials, and the lower officials are not very grateful." ”

"Well said, well said, haha." Li Hao smiled and said, "Ben Hou is leaving, hurry back and take pity on the two beauties, Lord Qin, don't send it, don't send it, haha......" After that, he walked out with two beauties on the left and right.

Looking at Li Hao's back, the smile on Qin Miao's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a sneer, "Phew! He also spat hard at Li Hao's back.
