Excellent little eunuch

Chapter 280
Although Qin Ming was sent by the imperial court to handle local political affairs, he didn't want to make these officials frightened. As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry. It's hard to do here.

So he had no choice but to take comfort measures temporarily, saying: "On the way, I heard about Mr. Zhou's deeds of worrying about the country and the people. Many people said that Mr. Zhou is Zhou Qingtian from Suzhou."

When Zhou Yao heard this, his heart was full of joy, it was said by General Zhennan.

He was happy in his heart, straightened his waist a little, and said with a humble face: "It's all the common people's absurd praise, absurd praise, how can Zhou be able to bear the words of Zhou Qingtian."

Qin Ming said seriously: "Master Zhou is too modest."

Zhou Yao said: "The general traveled a long distance, he must not have had a good night's sleep, I have already prepared a guest room, please the general to rest, for dinner at night, I will call the general."

Qin Ming was indeed tired and did not refuse.

The Yamen of the prefect of Suzhou covers a wide area, with nine winding corridors, painted pillars and carved beams, and water pavilions and pavilions.Along the way, all kinds of flowers compete with each other and compete for beauty.

Zhou Yao personally led Qin Ming and Zheng Dahai to a secluded courtyard, and said, "General, this courtyard is for the humble reception of generals, general, are you satisfied?"

Qin Ming glanced around. The scenery here is really good. He opened the door and took a look. The room was also cleaned and tidy. He nodded and said, "Very good, Mr. Zhou, you can go down first."

Zhou Yao quickly clasped his fists and said, "The humble job will go down first." Zhou Yao turned around and retreated.

Zheng Dahai looked at Zhou Yao's retreating figure, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, I think this old boy has a brain full of fat. How does he look like a blue sky? I don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment he has absorbed."

Qin Ming knew that Zheng Dahai didn't understand the way of officialdom. If he didn't flatter him, he would have been on his guard. Qin Ming sighed and said meaningfully: "Brother Zheng, it's important to be an official. Just like being a human being, you have to act like the previous one, otherwise, no one will see you as uncomfortable."

Zheng Dahai said half-understood; "I'm a big bastard, I like to be straightforward, but I don't have that kind of heart."

Qin Ming shook his head and smiled, Zheng Dahai is a man who hates evil and is upright, but he is indeed not suitable for the officialdom, which is full of intrigue and deceit, even in real life.

"Brother Zheng, some things are not as simple as you think." Qin Ming looked at the sky and sighed softly.

Zheng Dahai fell silent, Qin Ming said, "I'm a little tired."

He pushed the door open and walked in, closing it behind his back.

Zheng Dahai walked into his room thoughtfully.

In the evening, Qin Ming was lying on the bed when there was a knock on the door.

"Who!"

"It's me, General." Zhou Yao originally wanted to send a servant over, but after thinking about it, wouldn't this be insincere, so he came here in person.

Qin Ming opened the door and saw Zhou Yao with a flattering smile on his face: "General, the banquet over there is ready, please go over."

Qin Ming said, "Wait for a while."

Qin Ming closed the door, put on his clothes, and then walked out in good spirits. He was wearing a white shirt, a purple gold crown on his head, red lips and white teeth, and he was as handsome as jade.The whole person looks like a handsome young man.

When he went out, he found that Zheng Dahai was also up.Standing there giggling open mouth.

Qin Ming said, "Let's go."

The banquet was held on the Zuixian Tower, and the restaurant had already been booked by Zhou Yao, so there were not many diners.

When Qin Ming arrived, he saw a table filled with more than a dozen people, and the table was already filled with delicious food, delicacies from mountains and seas.

When the group saw Zhou Yao, especially Qin Ming who was behind him, and saw Qin Ming dressed as a son, they already knew that the young man behind him was the master.

They stood up one after another, Zhou Yao recommended for Qin Ming, pointed to a middle-aged elegant man and said: "General, this is Zhang Wenyuan, a fellow acquaintance, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Wenyuan cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the general."

Qin Ming nodded slightly, Zhou Yao pointed to an elderly man with gray hair and said, "This is the general judge Liu Yu, Lord Liu."

The old man nodded and said with a smile, "I've seen the general."

Zhou Yao introduced some squires, and Qin Ming nodded.

Everyone sat down one by one, Zhang Wenyuan raised his glass and said, "Let's have a toast for the general's arrival."

Everyone raised their wine glasses to toast Qin Ming.

Zheng Dahai sat aside, drinking and eating in silence.

Qin Ming knew that these people also wanted to know the purpose of his coming, so in order to calm them down, he said, "My lords, everyone must know the reason why I came here. I came here mainly to wipe out the rioters. Qin Ming I’m new here, and I’m not familiar with many things here, so I still have to rely on your help.”

Liu Yu said: "Don't worry, General, I will do my best to help General."

Zhou Yao patted his chest and said: "The imperial court sent a large army to wipe out these rebels this time, and I will do my best."

Everyone toasted and staggered, pushing cups and setting cups.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, all the adults were also drunk and their eyes were blurred.

Qin Ming was so respected by them that he drank a little too much, his head was dizzy.

Qin Ming got up and said, "I have to go to the toilet."

Zhou Yao stood up shaking his head and said, "My lord, I will accompany you there."

Zhou Yao staggered in front, Qin Ming followed behind him, the toilet was in the backyard, and the two walked downstairs while swinging.

Qin Ming glanced at the door with drunken eyes, but heard gongs and drums beating outside the door, and the sound of gongs and drums. A group of people dancing dragons and lions passed by the Zuixian Tower. Behind those people, there was a bridal sedan chair. A face that is all over the country.

Seeing the familiar figure, Qin Ming shook his head. He thought he had misread it, and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what is that?"

The shopkeeper got Zhou Yao's order, and knew that he was receiving a big person today. Hearing his question, he smiled flatteringly and said, "My lord, outside the door is the adopted daughter of the wealthy gentry Jiang Wansan walking with a lantern to pay homage to Empress Baihua."

Qin Ming grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and said, "To pay homage to Empress Baihua, what's the name of Jiang Wansan's adoptive daughter?"

The shopkeeper was caught by Qin Ming, smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't know about this little one, but I just heard that Jiang Wansan's righteous woman is beautiful, beautiful, and talented. She admires her very much, and it is said that after paying homage to Empress Baihua this time, she will choose a good son-in-law."

Qin Ming let go of his hand and muttered, "Choose a good son-in-law?"

The shopkeeper was caught out of breath just now, now his neck loosened, and he said with a sarcastic smile: "Yes, my lord, I heard that this time it's for a marriage invitation."
