Niu Dan didn't seem to mind singing a one-man show alone, and on the stage, I saw him gesturing hard, looking forward to how to slap Zhou Mazi with an almost idiotic expression. The big guy actually didn't take Niu Dan's words seriously, and even Liu Chengjin, who was quite capable and popular, was helpless, if he could trample someone like Zhou Mazi under his feet, the sun would have to come out of the west.

Master Guo didn't take Niu Dan's wishful thinking to heart at all, and he had to continue to visit, which made this fight a lot of trouble for a while, delaying a lot of time. Who knows, he just turned around to leave, but Niu Dan took out a piece of mulberry paper that was already a little crumpled from his arms and announced it in public.

"I'm not joking, from the moment the chief soldier said that I would do it, I was already going to participate in the election, you see, I even asked for a copy of the form."

A few splashes laughed, "Niu Dan also wants to be a master, and the old and young masters all help ......"

Saying that, a few people actually called the cow egg off the table, and began to draw on it in a chaotic manner, because they couldn't write, they specially pulled Master Guo, who was watching the excitement and was about to leave, and begged him to write his name on the handprint of the big guy on the painting, as well as the number of the standard identity tag.

The pimples are teasing the cow eggs, people can't see it, coaxing him to participate in the election, there are more jokes to see, even if he gathers the support of 500 people, the general military government will not use this kind of stupid guy to be the master, wouldn't that be a loss of face for the government?

Therefore, in this mentality of no one taking it seriously, the big guys are very enthusiastic to sign and draw on the cow eggs, and even Master Guo was forcibly pulled by someone to press his own handprint and sign Guo Binghuan's name.

In just half an hour, the folded mulberry paper was full of dense names and bright red fingerprints. The big guy has a playful mentality, so he wants to get involved, and when the time comes, he will hold the cow egg high, and it will be more interesting to watch him fall heavily.

Many people who coaxed have this kind of thought, but not everyone wants to see the joke of the cow egg, the reason why they are charged with the signature is to let this stunned young man mix in, even if he can't clean up Zhou Mazi, he has to be disgusted and disgusted with him, in order to get out of the evil anger of being robbed of food.

Master Guo saw that there were more and more people around him, and when he raised his eyes, he couldn't add an end to it. Hurriedly put down the pen, got up and waved to everyone: "Everyone, everyone, there are now nearly 1,000 people signing and placing, if the election preparation office approves Niu Dan, he has now obtained the qualification of a candidate, everyone can disperse!" ”

Everyone was immediately interested when they heard it, since the number of people was enough, it was not interesting to go to join in the excitement by themselves, so they all shouted at Niu Dan in a noisy manner: "Niu Dan, Niu Lao will be rich and prosperous in the future, but don't forget what ...... of us people."

Niu Dan was very excited, although he knew that these people were not well-intentioned, there were tears in his eyes, and he silently thought in his heart: Father, mother, I Niu Dan also has today, and I am qualified to enter the yamen as a master, how good it would be if you didn't die. He thought of Zhou Mazi again, if it weren't for this damn guy, maybe his father wouldn't have to die, and there was a trace of hatred in his eyes unconsciously.

He snatched the mulberry paper full of names from Master Guo's hand, folded it carefully, put it in his arms, and said: "Don't think I don't know, you want to see my jokes, but I have to thank the big guy......"

After that, Niu Dan separated the crowd with both hands, and shouted in his mouth: "Borrow, borrow, ......borrow" in the stunned eyes of a group of people, then Master Guo originally wanted to praise a few words in a similar way, but who knew that Niu Dan ignored him.

On the way back, Master Guo has been sighing about the election of Niu Dan, this guy seems to know what is good, I really can't imagine that he can collect signatures so easily, but he still has to sell his old face and continue to run. It wasn't until the time of the lantern that Master Guo finally collected the five hundred, and just returned to the tent, Liu Chengjin came.

He opened his mouth to talk about Niu Dan's candidacy, and apparently he had heard about it as well. Master Guo smashed his mouth, saying that he had known it for a long time, and it was himself who registered his name for him.

Liu Chengjin talked about this with a little excitement on his face.

"As soon as the news of Niu Dan's candidacy spread, the enthusiasm of the big guys was aroused, many people were running west, preparing to also play a game, the shape is good, one person can only vote once, the total number of people is so much, others have one more vote, others have one less vote, Zhou Mazi is afraid it is not so easy to succeed."

Master Guo suddenly realized that Liu Chengjin was happy about this matter, "Liu Zhutou's signature can be collected?" ”

Liu said that Jin's rare face was colorful.

"I really didn't expect that when the word was passed out, the fathers and elders were willing to appreciate their faces, and for a while, more than 1,000 paintings were rich."

Master Guo was ashamed for a while, so he told Liu Chengjin the original of his plan, and at the same time took out the mulberry paper covered with his handprint full of names from his arms and handed it to Liu Chengjin.

"This time, you and I are running together, if we both enter the council, then the weight of you and me among the eleven people will naturally be higher than others, and then you only need to win over four more people, according to the regulations promulgated by the General Military Office, as long as more than half of the directors agree, everything will take effect, and then you will be able to elect the head of the council or a little more help."

Liu Chengjin was surprised for a while when he first heard that Master Guo was also planning to run for the election, but he really didn't expect this sloppy old man to have a lot of ambitions, and after listening to his analysis for a while, he nodded frequently, thinking that what he said was reasonable. But he didn't fully agree with Master Guo's statement.

"The election regulations do not indicate that there is the position of the head of the council, is Master Guo thinking too much?"

Master Guo shook his head and said categorically: "People can't do without heads, and this government is the same. ”

Liu Chengjin was once again persuaded by Master Guo and thought that what he said was reasonable. Master Guo saw that Liu Chengjin agreed, so he struck while the iron was hot, "Therefore, we must take precautions now, collect the resumes of all the people who have obtained the candidacy, and then win over those who may form alliances. ”

Master Guo suddenly remembered what Niu Dan preached in public, his heart moved, and he added: "Also, didn't Lord General Bing say, let's go to the high platform to make a speech to win over votes, Liu Zhutou can go, what the speech is useless, and it is the most practical to give some benefits to the big guy." As he spoke, he nodded affirmatively, more confirming his thoughts. Yes, go and promise benefits to the big guys, if you can do it or if you can't do it, you can make a point, and attract the signature in their hands to us......"

If Li Xin heard Master Guo's analysis, he would definitely be surprised by this amazing comprehension ability, he was simply born for shameless and dirty politics. However, Li Xin's mind is now involved elsewhere.

It all started after noon, on the way back to the town guard.

Li Xin never expected that the young man in the long shirt in front of him was the little brother Huang who suddenly appeared in the westbound post station in the Beijing division and his winter night warm wine.

After the two got off the horse and saluted each other, the man in the long shirt smiled and said, "Why can't it be me?" ”

"You were the one who sent the cannon and gunpowder? And the ones in Nayang and the Acropolis are also ......"

"It's the little brother." The young man of the long shirt suddenly asked Ai Ai: "In Yanghe Acropolis, the younger brother left a letter with Brother Li because he was in a hurry because of something suddenly, have you ever read it?" ”

Li Xin patted his head and said embarrassedly: "There was a commotion in the city that day, and when I was busy, I forgot to read it, and then I ...... that letter, Li Xin was indeed busy and forgot, and when he remembered it, he rummaged through his whole body and didn't find it, so he lost it on the road."

Hearing that Li Xin didn't look at the letter he left, the eyes of the young man in the long shirt showed a trace of disappointment, and at the same time seemed to be a little more apprehensive.

The whereabouts of the young man in front of him are indeed a little suspicious, but judging from his behavior, he should have no malicious intent. Seeing that he seemed to be displeased, Li Xin hurriedly smiled and said:

"When you meet old acquaintances in other places, happy events are also celebrated, you should raise a glass to congratulate. Let's go back to the town. ”

After that, Li Xin reached out to pull his arm, ready to return to the city with his arms, and make up for the embarrassment caused by his previous negligence with this kind of overture. Who knew that the young man in the long shirt looked pale, but he withdrew his hand and said with a cold face: "Which one is old to you?" ”

Li Xinxin said, this little brother Huang's temper is not small, and said with a smile: "Jingshi has a night of wind and snow, warm wine and venison, how can the little brother forget?" ”

The face of the young man in the long shirt suddenly softened again, and he actually showed a shallow smile.

"A night of wind and snow, warm wine venison. These words came out of the mouth of the murderous General Li, which was so inappropriate. ”

Li Xin was a little confused by his sudden change of attitude.

"Even if you know it, you can do without it."

I saw him turn over and get on his horse, and smiled at Li Xin: "Brother Li, it's better for you and me to compare horsepower, see who arrives first in the town guard, and those who arrive one step later should be punished with three glasses of wine!" ”

A moment later, he saw the escort horses of the three guards galloping like the wind. Of course, Li Xin was one step slower than the young man in the long shirt in the end, but this step was deliberate.

The commander of the town guard made the yamen still the dilapidated Sanjin courtyard, and the young man in the long shirt frowned, he never imagined that the three general soldiers of the hall would live in such a place. Since Fuchu had long known that the general army would return in the afternoon, the meal had already been prepared.

Li Xin hadn't eaten a drop of water all day, he was already hungry, and they didn't drink alcohol on weekdays, so this time he specially ordered a jar of wine to come.

The amber liquor is poured into the white porcelain bowl, and the wine is immediately overflowing, and the whole pot of shredded mutton on the table has a unique taste.

Li Xin picked up the wine bowl, "Zhao wine is cold, although it is not as warm as Jingshi's warm wine, but it has a long aftertaste. If you lose a step to your brother today, you will punish yourself three cups for your brother! ”

Who knew that the young man in the long shirt stopped him and smiled mischievously: "When the little brother can't see that Brother Li deliberately let that step?" ”

As he spoke, he also picked up the wine bowl in front of the table, "It's better to drink!" ”
