Chapter 40 Go to the meeting with a single knife

"Brother Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much since that day!" As soon as Pan Feng walked to the door of Zheng's mansion, she became polite to him, not to mention the enthusiasm. If you don't know the inside story, you will still think that the two are brothers who have been separated for many years!

Zheng Jiang was also full of surprise. Although the two met again when he went to send money and food to Pan Jiajun, Pan Feng was very cold at that time. Why are you so polite to yourself today? There must be a demon when something goes wrong, which is his many years of experience in business.

"General, you're welcome, but I've been waiting for a long time. The gentry families in the three counties of Yongcheng are basically all here, and the general can open their seats as soon as they arrive. Zheng Jiang said politely to Pan Feng. At the same time, he also stepped back half a step and distanced himself to avoid excessive intimation with Pan Fengxian.

But the gentry who were watching the scenery in the courtyard didn't think much about it. Just now, Pan Feng's affectionateness and they all saw it, and they secretly guessed in their hearts. No wonder the Zheng family has been so low-key in the past year that they haven't even dared to fart when their business is robbed. It turned out that he climbed up the new "Lord of Hanzhong" Gao Zhi, and it seems that he has to let his little kids calm down in the future.

However, Pan Feng didn't seem to see the euphemistic evasion of Zheng Jiang and Zheng, and she was as enthusiastic as before.

"What's the name of the general? We are all a family. If Brother Zheng doesn't think that his younger brother is a reckless man, just call him brother."

Zheng Jiang narrowed his eyes and stared at Pan Feng. He only saw a boldness on his face, not a snake. The whole face seems to be full of two big words - sincerity. This made him never think of it. Didn't he see the real meaning of my invitation? Or do you think my banquet is a compromise with it? He thought for a moment and felt that it was very possible. After all, in his eyes, Pan Feng was just a reckless warrior. It seems that the 'Lord of Han' may not have figured out the key.

Thinking of this, he immediately became enthusiastic, took Pan Feng's hand and said enthusiastically, "Brother Xian, what are you talking about? You are the 'Lord of Han'. Your status is noble, and I'm still climbing high!"

Pan Feng immediately laughed and was also 'kind' holding Zheng Jiang's hand and said, "Brother, it's just outside. You and my brother are all polite words. In the future, although the big brother on the ground in Hanzhong walks horizontally, whoever dares to quarrel with him will be against me. His voice was very loud, and he was actually cheered by all the squires who listened to the news.

At this moment, even Zheng Jiang's heart is moved. Pan Feng's words are very attractive! With his full support, the salt and iron and other businesses managed by officials can be involved, which will double their profits!

You should know that the salt and iron business has always been monopolized by the imperial court, and the private sale of salt and iron is a deadly crime. In all dynasties, salt and iron have been an important material for the country. Food is the first necessity of the people. In addition to grain, salt is an indispensable material for every family, and the profits can be imagined.

And iron is an important material for building weapons. How can a country firmly control the regime? In addition to implementing benevolence, it is a powerful army. If ironmaking is not monopolized, isn't it possible for everyone to hold a sophisticated sword? Then there is no peace in the country. This move is like the monopoly decision of guns and ammunition in modern society, and the two are similar.

Although there is a trace of movement, the bud has not taken root in the heart. Zheng Jiang is a very rational person. Now under Pan Feng's rule, there are only Yongcheng and Mian County. There are no more than 10,000 soldiers, no more than thousands of miles, and no more than tens of thousands of people. Moreover, there is Dong Zhuo in the north and Zhang Lu in the south, which is in a state of attack on both sides. What capital does he have to enter the world? Maybe tomorrow alone, this city will change its owner. Thinking about this, the murder reappeared in his heart. Whether it is Zhang Lu or Dong Zhuo. Pan Feng must be removed.

"Brother, you are polite. Enter the courtyard quickly. Otherwise, others should blame you for not knowing how to treat guests."

Zhang Baiqi, who was beside him, also followed Pan Feng. Although he didn't understand why the lord and the old guy were so intimate, he knew that the old man must be the lord's enemy. Otherwise, the lord would not tell him to be cautious all the way. In his heart, he also admires his lord. Every time the enemy is in front of him, he smiles. Tian Junshi said what this is called? By the way, it's called Chengfu. It seems that I can learn from my lord in this field.

The first time he walked into Zheng's mansion, Pan Feng looked around him, and the construction specifications of the house were very similar to his city owner's mansion. It was atmospheric but not luxurious, but it was not these that surprised Pan Feng. There was a clear spring gushing out of the yard and turned into a green belt around the house and flowed to the depths of the woods after a week. The stars in the spring are surprising and beautiful, and everything is so quiet and serene.

There can be a hot spring in the yard on this cold day. It can be seen that Zheng Jiang was quite attentive when choosing the site! Pan Feng looked carefully at the green grass around the spring. It turned out that it was not a real grassland. After entering, you could see that the green grass were silk dyed with green dyes.

"The eldest brother's mansion is very luxurious, and I'm afraid the younger brother's city owner's mansion is not as good as it is." Pan Feng joked.

"It's not usually like this. Isn't this brother, aren't you here? The eldest brother took out all the silk in the house to make such a scene in order to look grand." Zheng Jiang explained.

After looking around for a while, Pan Feng suddenly cried, attracting people around her to look side by side.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Jiang asked doubtfully.

Pan Feng wiped her tears and cried, "Brother, you don't know! My family has been poor since I was a child! The whole family wears a pair of trousers and usually doesn't have enough to eat. Pan Feng told a vivid story: "I am also touching the scene. Look at the silk on the floor of my eldest brother's silk, and Zhang Baiqi, who was born and died with me, doesn't even have decent clothes. It's the same people. Why is the gap so big?"

In this statement, people around naturally looked at Zhang Baiqi, isn't it as Pan Feng said? This gray robe looks not good, with two large pieces of oil on it.

No matter how thick-skinned Zheng Jiang is, he can't help blushing. "It's my eldest brother's thoughtfulness. In a few days, a good material can still come up in my house. At that time, I asked the tailor to make a good robe for the Baiqi brothers."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zheng." Zhang Baiqi's voice was very cold, as if he was not very ungrated.

Looking at the cold atmosphere, Pan Feng's eyes turned and suddenly cried again.

"Big brother! Bai Qi is my own soldiers, not to mention my military officers. Last winter, I couldn't even send cotton-padded clothes!"

Good guy, this time Zheng Jiang finally understood that this guy took advantage of the fire! Isn't the meaning of this obvious? However, it is not appropriate to anger Pan Feng now. After all, he will not exist in this world tomorrow.

"Good to say, good to say. The soldiers in the army are all their own brothers. In the past few days, I will prepare some money and food to take time to comfort the military officers.

The squire family understood that this 'big tree' is not easy to climb!

"I am waiting for the military officers to thank the eldest brother for his reconstruction!" While talking, Pan Feng was full of tears, and his nose and tears came down. Pan Feng wiped his hands again, and his hands were full of them. Then he came forward and gave Zheng Jiang a big hug, and this hand rubbed and rubbed on the back of Zheng Jiang's clothes!

This action was so sudden that Zheng Jiang seemed to be stunned by a blow, but when he reacted, Pan Feng had already hugged him affectionately. And the gentle touch had begun for a long time, and suddenly his face was blue and his stomach was full of acid water. But you can't push Pan Feng away, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

If God is giving him a chance to do it again, Zheng Jiang will definitely kick Pan Feng, and then stare at the round bull's eyes and shout, "Who is your brother?"

However, he can only think about these things in his heart. Pan Feng's move is really unexpected. Even if he is an old deep deep deep-fried dough stick in the city, he is caught off guard. He is sure of this secret loss.

Looking at Zheng Jiang's pale face, Pan Feng is not a happy word in her heart!

......

After hugging Pan Feng, Zheng Jiang went to the back hall to change his clothes. At this time, the banquet had begun. Looking at Zheng Jiang's face still with iron cyan, Pan Feng is so comfortable! It seems that the sweat pores all over the body have opened one after another, enjoying a moment of comfort.

Originally, Zheng Jiang, as the master, should sit in the main seat, but in terms of public, after all, Pan Feng is nominally the "Lord of Hanzhong" and is an official. He is rich, but the people. Status is not the same. It doesn't seem so appropriate to sit in the main seat like this. In terms of privacy, he is Pan Feng's eldest brother and elder brother. The eldest brother is the father. Sitting in the main position seems to have something to do.

So Zheng Jiang finally fell in and set up a main seat ten feet away from him, and the two sat side by side.

And Zhang Baiqi did not sit down according to Zheng Jiang's instructions, but took the pear blossom axe and stood behind Pan Feng. Looking at the appearance, it was somewhat similar to the door god in the New Year paintings posted in later generations.

"Come on, today, General Pan can come to the humble house to drink and enjoy plums, which is even to give us the face of the local gentry family in Yongcheng, let us have a toast to General Pan, and at the same time congratulate General Pan on being awarded the title of governor of Hanzhong." Zheng Jiang picked up the wine bottle and said loudly.

Naturally, the rest of the people will not give face. They all picked up their glasses and said in unison, "Congratulations to the general."

Seeing this, Pan Feng got up to do a compilation for everyone.

"Thank you very much."

After everyone drank it one after another, Pan Feng was still hesitant. He was afraid that Zheng Jiang would poison the wine, but at this time, he was afraid that he would be looked down upon by many squires. According to Pang Tongjiao's method of identifying poison, he picked up the wine bottle and looked carefully at the wine inside. The color of the wine was not different, and there was no odor at the same time. There should be no problem.

Besides, this wine is poured out of a jar. Even if Zheng Jiang is fierce, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to poison so many squires.

Thinking of this, he felt a little comforted. Gritting his teeth, he still took a sip of the wine in the bottle...
