Volume 1 Dragon Trapped in the Shoal Chapter 50 Butcher He

Zhou Qi returned to the inn and called everyone, "Today I visited Zhang Rang, the dead eunuch, to ask for an official position. Although Zhang Rang promised to help his father become the eunuch of Xiangyang, my brother knows that I have offended Zhang Rang's nephew Zhang Sheng. I'm afraid the villain will be in some trouble."

, so I plan to visit He Jin with some gifts later."

After lunch, Zhou Qi took Zhou Yu, Zhang He and some servants to He Jin's mansion carrying one hundred thousand taels of gold and ten jars of fine wine.

Zhou Qi and his party were standing in a majestic manor, with the four characters "General's Mansion" clearly written on it. There were many vehicles parked in front of the manor and the drivers were chatting.

Several servants were standing in front of the mansion. Zhou Qi led everyone to the front of the mansion. "Next week, Qi has something important to see the general, please let me know!" He said with a wink to Zhang He, who understood.

He took out a money bag and put it in the servant's hand.

The servant weighed the money bag in his hand and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. "My general is discussing matters in the study. I'll go and inform you. It's hard to say whether I'll see you or not." He said and walked towards the mansion.

After a while, the servant came back and said to Zhou Qi, "My master asked you to wait in the living room." Then he led the other party and his group towards the living room.

Zhou Qi and others came to the living room. Zhang He couldn't help but be stunned for a long time when he looked at the magnificent living room. "I feel that the master's mansion is gorgeous enough. I didn't expect that the living room in the General's Mansion is more gorgeous than all the places in our mansion!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but frown when he heard Zhang He's words, "No matter how gorgeous the good steel is used on the blade, it is useless. It is better to spend the money on equipping servants."

Zhang He nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "The eldest son is right, no matter how gorgeous it is, it is not as practical as arming servants."

At this time, there was applause, and a young girl walked in from outside, "What a good steel for the blade!" She looked at Zhou Yu, who was as rich as jade, with a look of admiration.

Zhou Yu saw the girl, "What the family said is just the truth. I don't know how to call the lady?" The young girl looked at Zhou Yu and said arrogantly, "I am the daughter of He Jin, He Mi. You want to see your father."

Zhou Yu couldn't help being stunned and then said, "It turns out she is the daughter of the general! Disrespect! Disrespect! Zhou Yu's courtesy name is Gongjin, but the person who wants to visit the general is his younger brother!" He pointed at the careless person next to him.

Zhou Qi.

He Mi looked at Zhou Yu's appearance. Under the fair face, sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, thin lips, a slightly evil smile, long black hair hanging casually behind his back, and wearing a black robe to add some mystery, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

Zhou Yu didn't even listen to what he said. It took him a while to realize, "What did you say?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but frown, "Zhou Yu's courtesy name is Gongjin, and the person who wants to visit the general is his younger brother!" "Oh! I see, your name is Zhou Yu. It's a nice name. I wonder what your brother wants to do with my father?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard He Mi's words, "My brother is here to ask for an official!" "Oh! So that's it, then you wait for me to help you see if the matter with father is over!" As he said this, he turned back and looked out in three steps.

Go.

Zhou Yu looked at He Mi who disappeared and frowned unconsciously, "It seems that He Mi

The butcher has always sold his job to others, otherwise how could his daughter not be surprised at all, but instead go to He Jin to ask him to come over quickly!" I thought to myself.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Three people came in. One of them was a big man with a heavy back and a fierce look on his face. "Is it you who wants to see this general and ask for an official position?"

Zhou Qi looked at the big man, "My name is Zhou Qi and I have the courtesy name Haoran. I want the general to buy the governor of Xiangyang." "Huh? How dare you be so arrogant in front of this general? You are too arrogant. Besides, the position of governor of Xiangyang is not cheap.

Ah, after all, he is a prefect with an official rank of two thousand dan."

Zhou Qi heard He Jin's butcher's words, ordered Zhang He to open the box behind him, and said lightly to He Jin, "I wonder if these are enough, General?"

He Jin's eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked at the boxes of gold. At this time, the big man next to He Jin said, "Brother, please agree! I think these boxes of gold are worth one hundred thousand taels."

Zhou Qi looked at the big man beside He Jin who kept urging him, "That must be He Jin's younger brother He Miao. No wonder Wu Kuang killed He Jin after his death. He is really clueless, but this is fine. A certain family can save some immortals."

Wine!" I thought to myself

He Mi on the side said, "Master Zhou wants to buy some governorships in remote places with this gold. It's okay, but in a wealthy place like Xiangyang, I'm afraid it's not enough!"

Zhou Qi couldn't help but frown when he heard He Mi's words, "This little girl is really a hindrance. Don't let me meet her in the future, otherwise I will let you know how powerful she is!" she thought evilly in her heart.

He Jin heard He Mi's words and looked at Zhou Qi and echoed, "Well, my daughter is right. There is a difference in price between the prefect and the prefect. The price of your Xiangyang prefect is higher. After all, they are very wealthy there."

There will naturally be more oil and water!”

Zhou Qi heard He Jin's butcher's words and ordered people to bring up ten jars of fine wine and unsealed one of the jars to spread the fragrance of the wine. "These ten jars of immortal wine are worth ten thousand taels of gold each. This time, the general has had enough!" He Jin smelled the wine.

His mouth watered with fragrance and he nodded quickly and said, "That's enough! That's enough! I will recommend you to the court tomorrow to be the governor of Xiangyang. Just wait for my good news at the inn!"

He Mi on the side looked at Zhou Qi, frowning and thinking, then looked at the Ten Days of Fine Wine and immediately shouted, "Are you the owner of Zhou Village in Xiangyang City?" Zhou Qi heard this and looked at He Mi in astonishment, "How do you know?

I am the owner of Zhouzhuang in Xiangyang City?"

He Mi looked at Zhou Qi with a cunning expression, "So I guessed it right. At first I didn't know you were the owner of Zhouzhuang in Xiangyang City, but you brought ten jars of fine wine to my father, so I guessed you

It’s the owner of Zhouzhuang!”

Zhou Qi frowned slightly, "Just ten jars of fine wine doesn't mean anything." "It happened that when I went to Wancheng to visit my grandfather He Zhen, I met someone selling fine wine in Wancheng, so I bought some for my grandfather. I didn't expect it to be so good.

It’s so delicious. I’ll go buy it from that person. The person told me that the wine has been sold out and I need to wait for the fairy wine from Zhouzhuang in Xiangyang City before it can be stocked. So I heard you say that your surname is Zhou and you sent the fairy wine, so I guessed that you were the one.

Master of Zhouzhuang."

Zhou Qi couldn't help frowning when he heard He Mi's words and thought, "This little girl is really difficult to deal with. She can actually guess with these..."

I'm from Zhoujiazhuang in Xiangyang City, I'm afraid things won't be that easy!"

As expected, I heard He Mi say, "Master Zhou, you are also the owner of a village, and the fine wine you sell is very valuable. People like us can't just drink it casually. How about this? My father

If I recommend you to succeed as the Grand Administrator of Xiangyang, can you give me ten jars of fine wine every month?"

Zhou Qi's heart started to bleed when he heard He Mi's words, "Why don't you go grab ten altars every month! You little girl is crazy about money!" he thought to himself.

He Jin couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard He Mi's words, "Yes! Yes! Yes! You are actually a seller of fairy wine, so why not give me ten altars every month? You must know that I promised you to recommend you as the governor of Xiangyang before.

But I can’t be sure who will ask the Emperor for help from the Governor of Xiangyang that day to push you down!” He Jin threatened nakedly.

Zhou Qi heard the words, "This is a naked threat!" He felt a little angry, but when he thought about the mission, he could only suppress it and hide it.

He Mi on the side said, "If you send ten jars of fine wine to my father every month, my father will definitely say good things for you. You must know that there are people in the court who can do things easily!"

When Zhou Qi heard this, he looked at He Mi and thought to himself, "This father and daughter are very good at singing red faces and white faces! If we let you go crazy now, you won't have a few years to live anyway!" So he nodded and agreed.

Seeing Zhou Qi agreeing to the request, He Jin burst out laughing and said, "You know what you're doing, kid, otherwise you won't be able to feel comfortable even if you become the governor of Xiangyang City. Go back to the inn and wait for my good news!"

Zhou Qi shook his head, "My father is the owner of Zhoujiazhuang, and a certain family also came to seek officialship for my father!"

He Jin was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at Zhou Qi, who seemed to be waiting for the other party's next words, "Father Zhou Yi!" As Zhou Qi's words fell, He Jin showed a smile as if it was true, "Boy, let your father

Wait for good news!" It was like giving an eviction order.

Zhou Qi led everyone outside the mansion, while He Mi kept watching the direction in which Zhou Qi and others disappeared.

He Jin, who was standing by, saw his daughter's appearance and couldn't help but said, "Mi'er, you don't have a crush on that kid, do you?"

He Mi couldn't help but blush when he heard his father's words and said, "Father, what are you talking about? I'm just thinking about how I can get more benefits from Zhou Qi!"

He Jin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "It's okay if you don't take a fancy to him. I said my daughter won't take a fancy to that wine seller!" He said and walked out with his younger brother He Miao.

When Zhou Qi and his party came out of the General's Mansion and walked towards the inn, Zhang He's face turned slightly cold: "Master! He Jin is so deceptive. It was Zhang Rang who only accepted one hundred thousand taels of gold and ten jars of fine wine from us, and he even asked us to give him away every month.

Immortal wine is really abominable!" "The cost of those fine wines is not worth much at all, just give them away. Just as they say there are people in the court who are easy to do things, so what does it mean to give some ambrosia?" As he said this, he couldn't help but speed up the pace towards the inn.

.

He Mi returned to the boudoir and lay on the fragrant couch. When she closed her eyes, Zhou Yu's handsome face with an evil smile would flash up from time to time. She couldn't shake it off no matter how hard she tried. Instead, Zhou Yu's appearance became clearer and clearer. She had had insomnia that night.
