Chapter 168

Although Liu Bu doesn't like his men kneeling and flattering all the time, if the other party really does so, in fact, he still likes it.

Others knelt down to him, making him feel that he is very tall and worthy of being worshipped by others. In addition, this flattery is really heard in one. His ears are particularly cool and smooth, and his mood flies happily.

However, Liu Bu hates and is very angry about some bad habits in officialdom, mainly corruption and overstaffing. Therefore, he pays close attention to these two aspects. Others flatter him occasionally, but he still suffers. However, if it is corruption and dereliction of duty, it is unforgivable.

Since Zhou Wentong was captured by them, he went all out to work and work for them. What he did was also very beautiful, which satisfied Liu Bu very much. This made Liu Bu look at this half monk's subordinates differently.

Liu Bu said to him, "since Lord Zhou is here, how about going to the government office to have a cup of tea?"

In the past, he was always drinking and scolding Zhou Wentong, but after Zhou Wentong showed his ability and loyalty, Liu Bu looked at him differently and was much more polite, commensurate with Lord Zhou.

Liu Bu had a chat with song xiance just now, and he also found a little advantage. That is, song xiance praised him for being polite to people. Unlike other nobles, they directly treat people as slaves. Others must be unhappy. You treat others with the gift of a national scholar, and others also respond with the gift of a national scholar.

Zhou Wentong was very happy with Liu Bu's invitation. He said, "it's a great honor for me to come here empty handed."

Liu Bu said to him, "can I still lack your little gift? It can be said that if you dare to give gifts here, you can basically be judged to be corrupt. What I need is someone who works for me, not Ah Mei's flattery and corruption."

As they spoke, they walked into the government office.

The government office is large enough, and all the former governor Ma's family have been driven away. Now it is the servants and servants of the Liu family. There are no servants here. Liu Fuqi is arranging to recruit people. Even if he arranges to recruit people, he also needs training, so there are mainly sergeants and officers and soldiers everywhere.

Even in Liu Bu's room, two three big and five thick soldiers waited on him. When they saw Liu Bu coming in with Zhou Wentong, they directly made a pot of tea, poured two sea bowls, and then left.

If they are professionally trained servants, they will make a cup of tea with beautiful tea lanterns and lids, which is convenient for the master to bring tea to the guests. However, these two soldiers simply made two bowls for you directly, so that you can drink enough at one time to avoid refilling.

Liu Bu was still blowing his hand just now. Now his men have taken out these things. In fact, they can't go on the table like this. He can't help but be a little rude. He said, "it's funny that everything is simple here."

Just as Zhou Wentong was thirsty, he picked up the sea bowl and drank more than half of it. He said, "just as the lower official is thirsty, sir, you are also a pragmatist, not a person who wants to enjoy. The lower official admires you very much."

Liu Bu said, "it's not that we are pragmatic, but that the people behind the government office are invited by the Ma family and have been driven away. Therefore, new servants are being recruited and trained."

Zhou Wentong said to him, "the Ma family is also a local bully. This time, after adults' cleaning up, they were completely beaten down, but the lower officer heard some news. Ma Wenying, Ma Dongfan's son, was very unconvinced by adults' treatment of him, so he threatened to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court. Adults have to deal with it carefully."

Ma Wenying refused to give up, which was also expected by Liu bu. After all, the other party was uprooted by them this time and took all their things. Their Ma family changed from the richest to the poorest in Laizhou. They must be dissatisfied, but the boy came up with a way to sue the emperor in Beijing, which surprised him.

Liu preached, "what do you suggest, Lord Zhou?"

Zhou Wentong said, "if someone surnamed Ma makes trouble in Beijing, it will affect the adult's reputation. If he is used by someone with a heart, it will be troublesome. Isn't there a shortage of people in the adult's reform through labor camp? You can arrange him to go in and work. After a long time, he will be honest."

Liu Bu said thoughtfully, "we have taken all the things of the Ma family. If we don't spare it, will others say we will kill them all?"

Zhou Wentong said: "How can this be called killing all? Ma Wenying usually bullies men and women and robs people's money. People in the street rob people's women. It's always a matter of anger and resentment. It's all because his father is an official here. If someone complains, boss Liu will handle it impartially. What's the problem? People will also say that adults enforce the law like Where's the mountain? "

Liu preached, "yes! There's a lack of fun now."

Zhou Wentong said to him, "the junior officer who gathered together will arrange for himself. Ma Wenying did all the bad things. In the past, he dared to be angry but not speak with his father here to protect others, but when his father is gone, the other party should have revenge and revenge. If these people forget, the junior officer can arrange someone to remind him."

Liu preached, "OK! It's up to you."

Zhou Wentong said, "my Lord and my Lord, your father and son are officials in the same place at the same time. It's a good story that your father is a hero, but the villain's cry is a little stubborn. Later, the official will call your Lord Xiao Liu. What's this?"

Liu Bu said, "OK! No problem. Who told me to be an official in the same place as my father?"

At the beginning of the national Dynasty, when the officials were clean and bright, officials could not be local officials and had to avoid suspicion. However, over the past few decades, local officials have basically done what they want. Therefore, Liu Yuanqiao successfully became the governor of Laizhou. If it was severe in the past, it was only his local people who avoided suspicion, He can't be.

After Zhou Wentong left, Liu Bu knew that he still had these loopholes. If Ma Wenying and them went to Beijing to complain, it would be a bit out of control. This is that many people are easy to do things. As long as there are many people around you and loyal people, they will do things for you.

After Liu Bu had a few drinks, his blood surged up. He remembered that if Chen Yuanyuan was here, he could have fun, but Chen Yuanyuan was in Fushan's old house. There was a Miss Zheng next to him, but Miss Zheng was not easy to deal with.

Although Miss Zheng is not easy to deal with, he still wants to tease. Zheng zining happens to be arranged in the compartment yard next to him. He directly goes in to visit. There are several guards of the Zheng family at the door. They say, "Miss has fallen asleep. Will you come back tomorrow?"

Liu Bu said to him, "I have an appointment with miss."

Several bodyguards were stunned. They heard that it was an appointment. Liu Bu insisted on going in again. They didn't say anything. Then Liu Bu entered the house directly.

When Liu Bu entered Zheng zining's courtyard, Zheng zining didn't sleep either. She put on a big nightgown and was enjoying the cool in the small garden. She saw Liu Bu coming and said, "since Qingzhi you drank wine, why don't you sleep in peace."

Liu Bu said to him, "I haven't seen zining you for most of the day. I think it's strange in my heart. I can't sleep until I see you."

Zheng zining blushed. She smiled and said, "now that you see it now, you can go back and have a rest?"

Liu Bu said to him, "you see I'm dying of thirst when I come here. Do you have any tea?"

Zheng zining said to him, "it's getting late. If you drink tea again, it's even harder to sleep."

Liu Bu said to him, "it's hard to sleep. Why don't you talk about poetry, songs and Fu?"

Zheng zining said with a smile, "Qingzhi, you know I don't understand these things, but it's a little mismatched."

Liu Bu said to him, "what can't match? Can we talk about something else? For example, the little song we talked about last time, I can also say that if we are in a good mood, maybe we can make some more little songs?"

Zheng zining said to her, "Qingzhi, you're so elegant, so tomorrow? It's late now. I'm going to sleep. If there's nothing wrong, go back."

Liu Bu wanted to stay here, but when Miss Zheng was cold, she was very cold. The attitude of refusing people thousands of miles away made Liu Bu dare not make a mistake.

Liu Bu said, "it's still early. What's the meaning of falling asleep so early? Why don't you tell me about your previous robbery at sea?"

Zheng zining was embarrassed when Liu Bu said this. After all, they are a noble family and orthodox noble childe, and what she did is really not on the table. Especially for the Liu family she will join, there is still a thorn for her, that is, the Liu family is a noble family, and she is just a pirate, This makes her have some inferiority complex and taboo in her heart.

Zheng zining said to her, "Qingzhi, what do you mean by this? You shouldn't dislike me for it?"

Liu preached: "how could it be? I can swear to God that I will never dislike you now. I can also tell you that I have done such robberies. Is there anything faster than robbing money in this world? I can tell you that we robbed Mexico City, even Chen Meimei. We can say that we are all the same."

When Liu Bu said this, Zheng zining was very impressed. She smiled and said: "At first, the Zheng family did this business to eat and protect their lives. Later, so many people followed us to eat and stop. However, now the Zheng family basically doesn't do this anymore. We still have established a rule that if passing ships pay us silver, they won't rob again and can ensure that they won't be robbed by others."

Liu buta said, "the Zheng family has become a climate."
