Feng Shibo quickly pulled Xu Taiping to his feet and stood at the door with a bow.
After a while.
Jiao Kaicheng pushed the door open and entered.
Without looking at the two of them, he walked straight to the main seat, sat down, took a wet towel and wiped his hands and face, and then waved with a smile: "Sit, sit, sit, we are all our own people, you are welcome, come on, Xiao Xu, come on. Sit next to me."
Xu Taiping cursed in his heart.
But there was a look of panic on his face: "Sir, I don't dare to..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Liu Sanbian and I are very close to each other. He entrusted me to take care of you. You are my confidant. There is nothing you dare not dare."
"this……"
"sit!"
Feng Shibo smiled and pushed Xu Taiping to sit down: "Your Excellency is always kind to your own people. As time goes by, you will know."
Xu Taiping sat down solemnly, acting like a country bumpkin and being submissive.
Just answer Jiao Kaicheng’s question.
He didn't even look up.
Not to mention drinking tea and eating vegetables.
Jiao Kaicheng and Feng Shibo looked at each other.
Feng Shibo nodded imperceptibly.
Jiao Kaicheng said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is a great opportunity for you to be appreciated by Liu Sanbian. However, I am very curious, how did you two meet?"
"this……"
"Let's chat privately, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk."
"No, no, I'm just thinking about where to start."
"There's no rush. Let's chat while we eat. Let's talk about whatever comes to mind."
Xu Taiping sneered secretly.
Small talk?
You want to find out the real relationship between me and Liu Sanbian, and then measure your attitude towards me.
Fortunately, I am Liu Sanbian.
Otherwise, I really don’t know how to answer this question.
Xu Taiping deliberately thought for a moment before replying: "About two months ago, April had just entered, the weather was getting warmer, and the first batch of star vegetables showed their buds. The young one spent most of the night groping by the Jian River to pick the ones in season. The first bundle of star vegetables, when I was happy, someone asked me if I could sell it to him...
"This person is Mr. Liu...
"At that time, I didn't know Mr. Liu's origins. I just thought he was a good gourmet and introduced him to many delicacies.
“Later I found out that he was not only a Confucian scholar, but also had a very high level of cultivation.
“It was also he who persuaded me to take over the position of head catcher, saying that being a small catcher would be a waste of resources.
“After that, I never saw Mr. Liu.
"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be an old acquaintance of your Excellency. If I had known this, I would have come to Yingyin as soon as possible to ask for an audience."
Jiao Kaicheng nodded slightly.
I was very satisfied with Xu Taiping's attitude.
This little catcher is quite sensible and doesn't mess around based on Mr. Liu's name.
Moreover, according to what the little detective said, he and Mr. Liu are not very close, and I didn’t know that Mr. Liu and I had only met once.
This can be put to good use.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly: "You just know that the friendship between me and Mr. Liu is unusual. Mr. Liu's whereabouts are erratic and I can't take care of you all the time. If you encounter something, you can look for me. For Mr. Liu's sake, I I will treat you like a nephew."
Xu Taiping cursed in his heart.
WTF!
Damn it!
Take advantage of me?
You treat me like a nephew, are you worthy of riding a horse?
You also want to use your words to mislead me and make me mistakenly believe that you and Liu Sanbian have a deep friendship.
Pooh.
Xu Taiping wished he could transform into Liu Sanbian on the spot and then carefully appreciate Jiao Kaicheng's expression.
I believe it will be very exciting.
But it's not yet time.
The character of Liu Sanbian is wonderfully created, his personality is very useful, and he has great uses. It would be too wasteful to reveal it like this.
Therefore, he said respectfully: "Young people don't dare. If you are a small person, you will be satisfied if you can serve the adults."
Jiao Kaicheng was even more satisfied, and laughed and said, "You are usually quite bold, why are you so restrained now?"
"Who dares to act wild in front of adults?"
"I'm not a man-eating tiger."
"Your Excellency is a fifth-grade local official and a Hanlin monk. He comes from a well-known family. He is a dragon and a phoenix among people. He is also the mainstay of the Jin Dynasty. He has his own majesty. I really don't dare to be presumptuous in front of you."
Jiao Kaicheng continued to laugh loudly.
After laughing, he personally took a piece of meat to Xu Taiping and said, "Try it, this is the spirit deer backbone, it tastes great."
Xu Taiping sneered secretly.
Isn’t it just Linglu?
It’s like no one has eaten it before.
The so-called spirit deer are actually deer with deer demon bloodline. This kind of deer has been domesticated and bred for several generations. Although it is not a demon, it has stronger blood and more delicious meat. It is equivalent to a new breed with improved bloodline.
Such beasts are all labeled with the word "spiritual".
Chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep, pigs, deer, roe deer, wild geese, quails, pigeons, etc., the varieties are very complete.
Moreover, with the widespread use of monk formations, magic weapons and various magical means, the breeding industry is quite developed. However, the breeding merchants with such means only sell high-end products, so this kind of meat with the word "spiritual" is expensive and cannot be eaten by ordinary people. rise.
Of course, there are also spiritual plants, elixirs and the like.
After all, it is a fantasy world, and after tens of thousands of years of development, someone will always be able to figure out something that can improve people's livelihood.
It just hasn’t really benefited ordinary people yet.
But it’s delicious and really delicious.
Xu Taiping put a piece of venison into his mouth, chewed it gently, then showed expressions of surprise, excitement, admiration, etc., and then slowly tasted it with a look of enjoyment.
After swallowing it all, he gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Xihelou, it is worthy of the soul meat. It is so fragrant, so tender, and the taste is so good."
Jiao Kaicheng laughed loudly: "Follow me and work hard, and you will eat every day from now on."
"Young ones must try their best."
"It's a deal."
"How dare you deceive adults?"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, come on, let's try this top-quality jade pot spring again."
Jiao Kaicheng was extremely satisfied with Xu Taiping's performance and was in a good mood. He acted like a courteous corporal, picked up vegetables and poured wine for Xu Taiping, and kept introducing the fresh dishes on the table.
Xu Taiping also appropriately showed reactions such as being flattered and full of praise.
a meal.
Both host and guest are happy.
However, Jiao Kaicheng didn't say anything about work during the whole process. He just said "Follow me and work hard", and the rest was all about eating and drinking.
Jiao Kaicheng left.
Only then did Feng Shibo get to the point: "Brother Xu, with the support of adults, your future is limitless. Congratulations in advance."
Xu Taiping waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, adults can lift the little one up, and they can also push the little one down. In the final analysis, it depends on whether the little one can behave and do things."
Feng Shibo smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Xu Taiping's answer: "Yes, it's good that you have this awareness, but now you have a chance."
Xu Taiping pretended to be confused: "Now?"
"right."
"Where's the opportunity?"
"Liugouying, what my lord means is that you should look for opportunities to intervene in Hu Jinbiao's case and make the matter bigger so that my lord can intervene."
"this……"
Xu Taiping deliberately hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mr. Feng, just tell me directly. I will do whatever you say."
Feng Shibo was even more satisfied with Xu Taiping's words: "In this way, if you report the case as the victim, you will say that Hu Jinbiao colluded with the people in Qiyun Village and tried to kill you. After failing to kill you, he absconded in fear of crime. The seventh-grade Guanying committed such a serious crime. , adults can intervene legitimately."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he raised his head suddenly.
That's it?
It's just an opportunity!
This is the opportunity I want most!
Sure enough, opportunities are for those who are prepared.
