They hurried back to the wine table, and the two of them blew up randomly, covering up that Gong was too long.

At the next banquet, Zhou Zheng did not move his chopsticks and just drank and chatted.

This behavior made Luo Li confused and he became increasingly confused about what Zhou Zheng said to be.

Fortunately, Luo Li is an exquisite person, so he will follow him, and after the meal is gone, he can buy some food and go back to the station.

After three rounds of wine, few people moved their chopsticks!

In addition to the county magistrate Zhang Ling, only the imperial guard commander Li Zimi was eating in Xilihulu.

The imperial guards did not stationed in Shangjing for a long time, and they had to exchange defenses with the border troops every three years.

There are a lot of hardships in the border town, so Li Zimi doesn’t care about pure vegetable leaves. Anyway, filling her stomach is the main thing.

Seeing that it was almost done, Zhou Zheng, who had a red face, raised his glass and stood up, his tongue knotted slightly and said, "Zhang~ County Magistrate Zhang, I am a little drunk. I drink all the wine in the glass. It's time to go back to the post station!"

Just as the envoy said this, the rest of the people didn't want to keep them, so they raised their glasses one after another.

Zhang Ling said in a tone of self-blame: "Alas! Ningshan County is poor and has a vulgar and unpretentious meal. I hope you guys don't blame me!"

Poverty? You're so good at silly!

Ningshan County is a large county in Anguo, close to Shangjing. Since ancient times, it has been to the west, and has been to the caravans. Which one does not rest here?

Zhou Zheng shook his body and waved his big hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't blame himself. Although it is vegetable leaves tonight, I can eat it very delicious. I have eaten it with the word "cleanness". The magistrate of Ningshan County is worthy of being a commoner's parents!"

Yes! Someone who is even more treacherous, didn’t even move the chopsticks, and said that he had a delicious meal. Can Lord Zhou be a little bit of shame?

Listening to each other's flattery words in his ears, holding a full glass of wine in his hands, Luo Li felt so despised.

After a series of smelly and long flatteries, everyone finally drank the wine in the glass and prepared to leave.

Luo Li was even more confused. What was the hint that was agreed upon? Where was it?

Just as he couldn't help but ask a question, Zhou Zheng, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang doesn't have to send him away. I just leave by myself and others."

Zhang Ling insisted: "I want it, I want it! It's getting late, I should send it to you!"

Zhou Zheng shook his head and refused: "It's so troubled to Magistrate Zhang. I'm sorry! Besides, Deputy Envoy Luo has something to do in the city, so don't rush to go back!"

With a slightly frown, Zhang Ling asked curiously: "Mr. Luo, it's getting late. What's the point of doing? Can you explain to the county government?"

Luo Li was confused! I didn't understand which Zhou Zheng played, so I had to look at him asking.

"Haha! This matter must be done by Lord Luo, the county government cannot handle it well!" Zhou Zheng said in time to save the scene.

"My deeds are my deeds. I hope Master Zhou will tell you!" Zhang Ling asked with his fists.

After looking at the other party deeply, Zhou Zheng said slowly: "Master Luo wants to go around and understand the local business people's feelings!"

"Businessmen can drive local tax revenue. As long as their business is good, the national treasury will be full. Lord Luo can report to His Majesty when he returns to Beijing!"

"I hope that County Magistrate Zhang will inform the inn here, so that Lord Luo can easily explore it so as not to go to the wrong way!"

Luo Li stared at Zhou Zheng in a daze, his eyes almost popping out, and he couldn't help but say two words in his heart: Damn!

It was obvious that he wanted to stay in an inn, but he said that he was to understand the people's sentiment and even pushed Luo Li out. Zhou Zheng is worthy of being a shameless king. It's so shameless!

A thought flashed through my mind. Luo Li didn't want to be taken advantage of by the cheeky king, so he immediately clarified and said, "I didn't think about it..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zheng interrupted instantly: "What? Lord Luo, your sister wants to eat local specialties? That's good. County Magistrate Zhang is here, so you can inquire about it."

After all this, if Zhang Ling doesn’t understand, he will be wasting his years of being an official!

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Zhang Ling said with a confused look on his face: "My lords, please forgive me for being unable to accompany me in person!"

"But County Magistrate Zhu can replace me and take you all to the inn to understand the people's feelings."

Zhou Zheng said politely: "Hey! Then I'll trouble County Magistrate Zhu! I really don't want to disturb you!"

"No trouble, no disturbance, Lord Zhou is welcome! Haha!" County Magistrate Zhu said with his face moving forward.

Soon, Luo Li and the four men, together with nine Heishui Guards outside the county government, were invited by the county magistrate Zhu to the "Baifu Inn".

From the outside, the inn is pretty good. It is estimated that it should be the best inn in Ningshan County!

Walking into the inn, Zhou Zheng took a look here and there, asking the shopkeepers about their business from time to time, as if he really understood the people's situation.

When the shopkeeper saw the accompanying County Chief Zhu, he immediately knew that the person in front of him was the mission officer and answered all the questions with fear and fear.

"Mr. Zhou, can you move to the second floor to inspect?" County Magistrate Zhu disappeared for a cup of tea, suddenly appeared again, and said with a close look to everyone.

"Okay!" It was too late, and Zhou Zheng was already exhausted and too lazy to be silly.

When they arrived at the room on the second floor, County Magistrate Zhu invited everyone to go into the room alone to inspect, and then left on the pretext that he had something to do.

Poured on the soft and fragrant bed, the wine slowly surged up. Luo Li recalled Zhou Zheng's approach, which was not very clear and implied, and could almost be called explicit.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Luo Li's thoughts.

After getting up and opening the door, Zhou Zheng, whose eyes were slit, appeared at the door, carrying a box of inferior tea in his hand.

"Haha! My dear brother is not asleep yet? This is a local specialty arranged by County Magistrate Zhu. I will bring it to you for me!" Zhou Zhengmai stepped in and closed the door.

Luo Li curled her lips and said disdainfully: "I'm sorry, brother! I'll give this 'delicious' tea to me!"

Putting the tea leaves on the table, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "My brother, don't look down on this box of tea leaves, it tastes so wonderful!"

"Extremely wonderful? You mean..." Luo Li's eyes widened, and he walked over and opened the tea box in two steps. He took out silver notes in the hidden mezzanine, including 15,000 taels.

"Hiss!" Luo Li's breathing sounded heavier!

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao Ningshan County bribed a huge amount of silver.

"Care it! Brother Wei's tea leaves are also 15,000!" Zhou Zheng gave him a look of peace of mind, and at the same time revealed the amount of money he collected, just to dispel Luo Li's concerns.

Taking a few deep breaths, Luo Li put down the bank notes in his hand and asked: "Then..."

"Don't worry, Eunuch Qiu, Commander Li is 10,000 yuan per person!" Zhou Zheng seemed to know his problem and said it first.

"All of them were collected?" Luo Li asked.

"I've collected it!" Zhou Zheng replied.

Take it! Since you have accepted it, Luo Li will be relieved! Anyway, the corrupt one is Anguo. The more corrupt the officials are, the more chance the Luo Kingdom will have to complete the world's ruthlessness.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Zheng turned around and left. Luo Li put the silver notes in his arms, and he was drunk and fell asleep.

...

On the other hand, County Magistrate Zhu hurried back to the county government. At this moment, Zhang Ling did not go back to the house to fall asleep. He was sitting in the public room drinking tea and waiting. He couldn't bear to drink and was just an excuse.

"All of them were collected?" Zhang Ling saw the visitor, put down the teacup and asked hurriedly.

"Care it! I gave the local specialties to Zhou Zheng!" County Magistrate Zhu replied.

Zhang Ling nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Lao Zhu, go back, take a break early, and you have to get up early tomorrow to send them away."

County Magistrate Zhu bowed and said yes. He had just taken two steps, but turned around and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I have something unknown!"

"I want to ask why I give so much, right?" Zhang Ling asked indifferently.

"Yes!" County Magistrate Zhu replied.

After blowing off the oil lamp in the room, the white moonlight shone into the room. Zhang Ling said with a sad face: "Because I believe Zhou Zheng's words, the boy named Luo is definitely capable of reaching the heavenly listening!"

"Why are you so sure?" County Magistrate Zhu asked in confusion.
