Xu Gongzhu was silent.

These words made him unable to refute because such a thing happened before.

Zhou Ze felt much more comfortable. In the first half of his life, Lao Xu was a tool man, an old emperor and his master's hawk. Now he was a way to get rid of all this.

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore. If you think too much, it will cause trouble. It's not very good in Hejiang. You can eat and drink well, and you don't have to worry about your life, and you won't be used by others."

Old Xu looked at Zhou Ze sideways, and Zhou Ze pushed him.

"Don't look at me with this look. You and I are friends. I have fought for my life to save you. In order to complete your last mission, I also gave up my face and urged Wang Xiankui. Even if I owe five hundred taels, did I always mention it?"

Xu Gongzhu thought about it and nodded.

“Take it.”

Zhou Ze bit his back teeth and was about to retort when he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Brother, what's your masterpiece for the old brother?"

Zhou Ze shrank his neck and fell directly from the carriage. Old Xu raised his foot and stabilized Zhou Ze's figure. Zhou Ze looked behind him. Sure enough, Wang Xiankui and several guards stood behind.

The horse was on the official road, and he was wearing casual clothes and was wearing clothes he sent by someone. Zhou Ze cursed inwardly, "You can't curse people behind your back, and you may be sure to be rewarded when the world will be revealed."

"What a coincidence for Wei Wang!"

Wang Xiankui was too big and slapped Zhou Ze on the shoulder. Zhou Ze almost flipped off the carriage again. Wang Xiankui quickly supported Zhou Ze.

"Your slap is too thin!"

"Wife Wang Duwei is a military man, and he is in good health and strong. I am just a scholar. Where can I have your body!"

Wang Xiankui smiled, and Zhou Ze thought of what had happened before, and his eyes lit up as he looked at it.

"Didn't Wang Duwei pass here? It seems that he came to me on purpose. Could it be..."

Wang Xiankui nodded and waved his hand behind him. The guards retreated a little. Old Xu did not move. Wang Xiankui didn't care, and said in a low voice:

"It's done. My brother lost dozens of people. The maid was a scapegoat. Fortunately, she did not humiliate her fate and sent her back to the palace. Today I received a quick horse report from my brother. I didn't delay for a moment. Come and tell you quickly, so as not to worry again."

Zhou Ze quickly jumped out of the carriage, and the big stone pressing on his heart fell to the ground, so he must be relaxed.

"It's great. This matter is settled. You and I have taken away the knife hanging above my head. But is the younger brother of Wang Duwei blamed for this?"

Zhou Ze actually wants to ask, is there no reward?

I know all the rumors, and I will definitely say these things, but it seems a bit embarrassing.

Wang Xiankui shook his head, looking mysterious.

"On the contrary, I received the title of a ladies for my mother and also rewarded gold, silver and silk. This is all for you to ask me for your blessing!"

Zhou Ze blinked and waited for Wang Xiankui's following, but it was gone. After saying that, Wang Xiankui looked at the river with his hands behind his back, as if he was still immersed in the excitement of his mother being awarded. After all, there are many military generals, and very few can get such honors.

Zhou Ze wanted to scold my mother, but I did the most effort, and I was always planning. Why did I give it to your mother if I reward me? I really think I was a decoration?

"Not?"

Wang Xiankui paused and shook his head.

"It's gone."

"Is Wang Duwei's younger brother back to Panshi Town?"

"Well, after I handed over the errand, I returned to Panshi Town, and then ordered someone to send me the news. I think the imperial edict has not arrived yet, but His Highness Ning should also know about this. It is no secret that someone will send it back.

However, Princess Anle was really hard to serve. She was still at peace a few days ago on the ship. She didn't obey the arrangements later and insisted on sleeping in the cabin. Several guards rushed to the plyboard, which attracted attention, otherwise she would not have been attacked outside Jingyang."

Zhou Ze sighed and looked at Lao Xu. Since there was no reward, let's just treat it as Lao Xu's first half of his life. He no longer cares about these things. Who made him such a generous person?

"It can be imagined that I could control it at Hejiang County Government at that time, otherwise this Princess Anle would have to find you by herself. My brother think about it, what would that result?"

Wang Xiankui shivered and nodded vigorously.

"What I'm talking about is that they are noble girls, golden branches and jade leaves. We can't help, let's go, I'm hurrying over here to find you to drink, so that the guards will seem intrepid. I'll come here in person to invite you."

Zhou Ze quickly bowed and bowed.

"Zhou Ze received the friendship of Wang Duwei, and he really didn't dare to take it. Since you are here, don't leave. Let's have something special to eat here."

Lao Xu turned his head and shouted.

"Boiled fish."

“…”

Zhou Ze looked speechless and looked at Lao Xu. He was still swallowing his saliva and turned to smile at Wang Xiankui.

"Yes, just eat boiled fish to ensure that the old brother is satisfied."

......

Backyard of the county government office.

A plate of fish fillets fell into the rolling pot. Wang Xiankui reached into the chopsticks and sucked them out. He stuffed them into a big mouthful of cooked or not, and it kept getting hot.

"Brother, your research on food has really reached the pinnacle. This fish is not a rare thing. Why does your way of eating make me so happy."

As he said that, he picked up the wine bowl, bumped into Zhou Ze, and then fucked. Zhou Ze tasted it briefly, put down the wine bowl, and waved his hand at Sanbao.

"Kill two more fish and bring the tofu and mushrooms."

Wang Xiankui blinked and stopped catching fish.

"Can tofu and mushrooms be eaten like this?"

"If you cook the tofu for a longer time, it will taste more mellow when you absorb the soup, while the mushrooms are delicious, which will relieve spicy food and enhance freshness, making the soup more intense."

The Sanbao was not slow to move. He had already prepared something on the side, so he brought it up. Zhou Ze put two plates of things into the pot, and waited for the soup to submerge the ingredients by himself.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Ze picked up the mushrooms and put them in a bowl for Wang Xiankui.

I also picked up mushrooms and tofu, put them in a bowl of sesame juice, and put them in an oil dish. I then took a bite.

Perhaps because the mushrooms are wild and taste so delicious that they make people squint unconsciously and feel the impact of the ingredients and teeth and tongues. The satisfaction made Zhou Ze couldn't help but hum twice.

Wang Xiankui also followed suit and tasted mushrooms and tofu.

"It's really delicious. The old brother is a rough man and can't praise him. He can't find any vocabulary to describe it. It's really a different deliciousness."

Zhou Ze's cheeks were already a little red, as if he had returned to the world he lived in. When a case ended, he was drinking with a group of rough men in criminal investigation. Those people praised people for food just by saying that Zhou Ze suddenly laughed.

"Awesome!"

Wang Xiankui was a little puzzled.

"What is awesome? Is it delicious?"

Zhou Ze waved his hand.

"Awesome means praise, praise the delicious food, praise the beautiful things, praise someone's good work, and praise him for his good work. All of them can be used. This is a word that my master often talks about."

"Your master?"

"A white-bearded old man who taught him to solve the case, investigate the details of the scene, and observe people and things."

Wang Xiankui looked envious.

"I'm lucky, by the way, I've heard of it in Baisha Castle. You are Zhou Qingtian from Hejiang. You are like a god to solve the case. After a few months in Hejiang, you have cleared all the previous headless unsolved cases. The real murderer was caught in just one day after another. This is really awesome!"

Zhou Ze smiled, let alone Wang Xiankui's learning and application are very easy.

"It's just luck."

"Where did you know the master? What's your name? I taught you a disciple?"

Wang Xiankui had three questions in a row, and Zhou Ze shook his head with a smile.

"It's just an opportunity. When I was young, I was studying hard and closed the door. When I met an old man with white beard, I saved him and gave him food. I met him. As for what the master's name is, I don't know.

But he saw that I was quick-witted and liked to observe and distinguish things in detail. Then he taught me these things on a whim, and never appeared again. I guess the capital city taught me one."

"Didn't you give me a booklet?"

Old Xu continued the conversation, and Zhou Ze glanced at him, and this guy couldn't even stop eating.

"Um."

“What booklet?”

"It's just some cases of solving cases and surveying, and some details, but unfortunately, it was a pity that I got burned after I passed the exam. It's a pity!"

Wang Xiankui waved his hand with a smile.

"This is a master. It is fate to teach you how much you can learn. Could it be that you are still greedy for all the true teachings? You can drink almost the same amount of wine. I should go back. I guess you will get the reward in two days.

By the way, I heard that the saints praised the Zhennan Army this time. The memorials handed over the military supplies before were all over the sea, but this time it might be allocated a part before the New Year. Brother Zhou is all your credit, and King Ning will definitely know this."

Zhou Ze almost choked with a sip of wine and kept coughing.
