Chapter 61 Pan Mingzhong’s request! Good news, bad news
Coming out of Hong Zhengdao's main house, Zhang Lingshan met Pan Mingzhong.
“Junior Brother Pan.”
Zhang Lingshan said in surprise, “I have achieved a breakthrough in meat refining, congratulations!”
Pan Mingzhong squeezed out a smile and said: “Senior Brother Shan. ,Have you eaten? ”
"Have eaten."
"Then let's go have some drinks."
Pan Mingzhong took Zhang Lingshan and left.
Zhang Lingshan guessed that he had something to ask of him, so he suddenly treated himself to a drink so generously.
But Pan Mingzhong didn't say anything, and he didn't give him a message, so he followed Pan Mingzhong to Du's Restaurant in Dongyangji.
"Du's Restaurant? It's a bit expensive here."
Zhang Lingshan advised: "Just drink whatever you want, we brothers don't have to be so particular."
He was once treated here by Song Dazhuang Please tell me that the consumption here is not affordable for ordinary people. Even if Pan Mingzhong has broken through to meat refining, his family wealth is not so rich and it is not worth wasting here.
Pan Mingzhong waved his hand and said: "No matter whether you are particular or not, this is the cheapest in Dongyangji. If I didn't have much money, I would have invited my senior brother to Qingfeng Restaurant."
"Okay, just order some ordinary wine."
"How can I do that? I finally invited my senior brother to have a drink, how can I just do it perfunctorily? Waiter, bring me a pot of jujube wine. Two braised pork elbows, a plate of peanuts, a plate of donkey steamed stuffed with flowers, and a plate of five-spiced white green tea. ..."
"That's enough, that's enough."
"Senior Brother, that's enough."
Pan Mingzhong smiled and poured some for Zhang Lingshan while waiting for the food to be served. He bought a glass of wine and said, "Senior brother just came out from Master Hong's place. Didn't you see how Master is recovering?"
"The right hand is still the same and cannot be used at all, but his energy is much better than before." Zhang Lingshan said.
Pan Mingzhong said some more words of concern for Hong Zhengdao, and then got down to the topic and said: "Brother Shan, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Senior Brother Shan is not in the yamen. Are you the deputy squad leader? I have three people in charge. Can you give me a vacant seat? I also want to work in the Yamen. "
Pan Mingzhong said with a flattering smile.
Zhang Lingshan was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "Junior brother, you think too highly of me. I am just a small deputy team leader, how can I have such great power."
"Senior Brother Shan, you don't have the power, but Master Hong does. He can send you in, and he can definitely send me in too. Can you help me say a good word in front of Master Hong?"
Pan Mingzhong looked pleading.
Zhang Lingshan shook his head and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. You have to discuss it with Master."
"I don't dare." Pan Mingzhong lowered his head, "I don't think Master can If I mention it, I will definitely get scolded. But Master loves you the most. If Senior Brother mentions it, Master will definitely not refuse.”
“It’s not that simple. Targeted by Hou Cheng, the leader of the fast class.”
Zhang Lingshan said earnestly: "Everyone in the yamen has a backer. Master Hong only allowed me to come in. There must be his considerations.
"If everyone can enter, then why doesn't Master Hong let everyone in? Enter the Yamen?
"The key yamen is actually not that good. The last time someone from the Suppressing Demon Division came on a mission, four yamen officers died, including a deputy leader. This is what you do in a yamen, and you usually look majestic. , you have to risk your life at the critical moment."
After Zhang Lingshan said this, he added: "Besides, junior brother, you are also a meat-refining person. If you are an ordinary yamen servant, you will definitely be arranged to be a deputy squad leader. There are only so many positions. The other deputy squad leaders are doing a good job and it is impossible to give up their positions. "
"Didn't a fast deputy squad leader die?" Pan Mingzhong asked unwillingly.
Zhang Lingshan said: "That position was reserved by Hou Cheng, the head of the express shift, for his nephew Hou Pingliang. All the procedures should have been completed during this period. I estimate that Hou Pingliang will officially take office within the next few days."
< br>"This..."
Pan Mingzhong was immediately speechless, with deep disappointment in his eyes and secret hatred in his heart.
Hey Zhang Lingshan, if you hadn’t suddenly emerged as a new force, I would have been the deputy leader of the strong squad.
Because of you, my future is ruined!
You still have the nerve to educate me here and give me lectures?
Originally, he, Pan Mingzhong, became a disciple of Hong Zhengdao. While enjoying Hong Zhengdao's training, he reported Hong Zhengdao's situation to his superiors and received rewards, and both parties were well fed.
But people are unlucky enough to have water stuck between their teeth.
As soon as he became a disciple, something happened when Chen Hui challenged him. He was so proud of Chen Hui's reputation that he didn't dare to go on stage. He became a coward and was despised by Hong Zhengdao.
I originally thought that Zhang Lingshan would be beaten to death by Chen Hui. No matter how much Hong Zhengdao disliked him, he could only cultivate his new disciple Pan Mingzhong.
But not only did Zhang Lingshan not die, he actually became famous in one battle, and later even broke through to meat refining at a speed far exceeding his own.
In this way, Zhang Lingshan suddenly became Hong Zhengdao's most beloved disciple, and Pan Mingzhong became a joke.
Then everything goes crazy!
Because I am not favored by Hong Zhengdao and it is difficult to even see Hong Zhengdao, how can I talk about reporting the news?
Because it is no longer useful, the people above do not want to see me now, and do not provide any help. I suddenly became an outcast.
Although after breaking through meat refining, he can still live well if he finds a job down to earth.
But, that’s not what he wants at all!
If this was what he wanted, he would have quit with Zhu Wei and found another way out. Why should he stay with Hong Zhengdao, an injured cripple?
‘Damn Zhang Lingshan. You ruined my life and I don't care about you, but when I asked you to do a little help, you still resisted.
‘Okay! You are unkind and I am unjust. Now I have nothing, just because you stand in front of me.
‘As long as you die, everything Master Hong spends on you will have to be spent on me again! ’
Pan Mingzhong lowered his head, gritting his teeth in his heart, not knowing what he was planning.
Zhang Lingshan glanced at him and was keenly aware that this guy was not in a good mood. He planned to pay and leave, but after all, if he didn't help, he would not take advantage of others.
But when he thought that Master Hong had told him to be careful about him before, Zhang Lingshan started eating with peace of mind.
Anyway, in Master Hong’s judgment, this guy’s mind is not right to begin with. No matter what he does, he can’t change his mind, so there is no need for him to be a good person in front of him.
With his elbows in his stomach, Zhang Lingshan was full of food and was about to get up and leave.
Suddenly, I saw a group of people walking in surrounded by a tall young man with thick eyebrows.
After the other party came in, he looked around first, and his eyes suddenly focused on Zhang Lingshan. He walked over and put his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Deputy team leader, this is the first time we meet. I am Hou Pingliang. I just took up the post today and worked as a fast shifter." Deputy squad leader, I have to rely on deputy squad leader Shan to take care of me in the future.”
“It’s easy to say, I’m my brother. I’ll ask Brother Hou to take care of me in the future.”
Although I don’t know this. Why was Hou Pingliang so polite, but he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person? Zhang Lingshan stood up in cooperation, cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Hou Pingliang glanced at Pan Mingzhong casually and said: "Brother Shan is eating, so we won't disturb Brother Shan and his friends. Shopkeeper, this table will be credited to me, Hou Pingliang, and I will serve a few more of the best specialties." .”
“Okay!”
The shopkeeper agreed.
Zhang Lingshan waved his hand quickly: "Brother Hou is too polite to eat so much."
"It's okay, Brother Shan, just eat, we will go upstairs and meet again another day. "Hou Pingliang patted Zhang Lingshan's arm, looking familiar.
After that, he took the woman beside him and the group of people and went upstairs.
Pan Mingzhong looked at this scene with a surprised face, and his heart was even more angry.
Didn’t you, Zhang Lingshan, say that you were targeted by Hou Cheng, the leader of the fast class? Why is it that your nephew has such a good relationship with you now, and he treats you to a big dinner? It's obvious that he doesn't want to make excuses for me!
The most disgusting thing is that Hou Pingliang didn't even look at Pan Mingzhong just now. In Hou Pingliang's eyes, he was just an unknown friend of Zhang Lingshan.
Shame, shame and humiliation!
I think Pan Mingzhong was still Senior Brother Zhang Lingshan at the beginning, but now he has become a nobody.
It’s all because Zhang Lingshan robbed him of the opportunity!
Pan Mingzhong roared in his heart, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably.
Zhang Lingshan said in surprise: "Junior brother Pan seems to be feeling unwell, why don't I take you to the hospital."
"No need to bother me, senior brother. I'll just go back and rest."
Pan Mingzhong left quickly.
"Okay. Then I won't give it away. Didn't we just serve a few dishes? Haha, if you don't eat it for free, you won't eat it." Zhang Lingshan didn't care about Pan Mingzhong's ugly expression at all and smiled. road.
Pan Mingzhong said: "Brother, just eat slowly, I'll leave first."
After that, he left quickly.
Zhang Lingshan looked at his back and smiled sarcastically in his heart. Master Hong had seen through this loser from the beginning. How could he still be an apprentice in such a shallow city?
Chengfu Qian should be like his third senior brother Wu Yuanqing, just be a reckless guy with no intentions.
You are not as deep as Senior Brother Xiao Ming.
Senior brother Xiao Ming is at least more emotionally stable. Under normal circumstances, he can't express his emotions and anger, but Pan Mingzhong can't hide anything on his face.
“Wrap the remaining dishes for me and I’ll take them back to eat.”
Zhang Lingshan said to the waiter.
It’s time for my mother and sister to improve their food and taste the specialties of Du’s Restaurant.
Evening time.
Zhang Lingshan came to the Yamen, and Liu Feng immediately came up to him and said mysteriously: "Shantou, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Bad news."
"Shantou'er is different. He actually chose to hear the bad news first."
Liu Feng complimented and continued: "This bad news is that Hou Cheng, who was targeting you at the beginning, really made his nephew Hou Pingliang He was promoted to the position of deputy leader of the fast class.
“Hou Pingliang is also very impressive. It is said that he was able to successfully ascend to the position because he reached the peak of meat refining.
"He is only twenty-two years old, and he is already at the peak of meat refining. What a genius.
"It is very likely that he will break through to Yijin earlier than Hou Cheng in the future, and the Yamen is just a springboard for him. . In the future, he will either enter the inner city and become the captain of the city guard team, or he will find a way to join the Demon Suppression Division.
"The former is more likely, the latter depends on luck and how much money the Hou family is willing to spend."
Liu Feng clicked his tongue.
Zhang Lingshan said: "This is not bad news. I have already met Hou Pingliang, and he invited me to have a meal at Dujia Restaurant."
"Is he so generous?"
Liu Feng looked surprised, then pondered for a moment and analyzed, "This man has a broad mind, unlike Hou Cheng. It can be seen that he is definitely not a thing in the pool!"
Zhang Lingshan couldn't laugh or cry.
This guy is not paying attention to his own cultivation day by day. Instead, he is very concerned about other people's affairs, which can be regarded as one of his hobbies.
"By the way, now let's talk about the good news. The people from the Suppressing Demon Division have been driven away! Yan Yuqing investigated every day and finally bumped into a big shot in the inner city and asked someone to transfer him away. Hehe. No night. People are peeping and supervising, so we can have fun again!"
Liu Feng said with excitement.
Zhang Lingshan asked: "Are you keeping this news true? Don't make a mistake. If you are caught doing something wrong at night, you will be in trouble."
"It's true, it's absolutely true! I also know who the big shot is."
He chuckled and pretended to be unconvinced.
Zhang Lingshan smiled and asked cooperatively: "Who is it?"
Liu Fengdao: "Sha Mingyue! The apple of the eye of the Sha family in the inner city, the first of the four beauties in the inner city! It is said that Yan Yuqing Seeing her jealous of her beauty, she got into a fight and was driven away."
"This is pure nonsense."
Zhang Lingshan shook his head.
Yan Yuqing is obviously not the type to be jealous of someone's beauty.
There must be other reasons for conflicts.
But it has nothing to do with him.
He just needs to make sure that Yan Yuqing and the others leave.
"Let's go on patrol!"
As soon as it got dark, Zhang Lingshan waved his big hand and set off with Liu Feng and the others.
As before, he followed the same method and let the three of them play. He walked around the street a few times. After finding no one following him, he quickened his pace and jumped into the agreed place.
The third courtyard on the east side of Juyuan Road.
Ordinary yard, bluestone floor, house with red bricks and green tiles, the yard is clean and tidy, there are people living in the wing rooms on both sides, and the sound of sleeping breathing can be heard.
The main room in the center was lit with lights.
Zhang Lingshan carefully opened the door and walked in.
Crunch.
He closed the door and looked at the man sitting at the table under the light.
This man was wearing a scholar's green shirt, a light robe with slow straps, and a short beard on his chin. He had a kind appearance. When he saw Zhang Lingshan looking over, he said a word of invitation: "My dear nephew, please sit down."< br>
Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands, sat in front of him, and said doubtfully: "I seem to have met my senior once."
"My nephew has good eyesight! When my nephew came to my house to pay New Year's greetings and buy medicine, I looked at him from a distance. You'll recognize him at a glance." The man smiled.
Zhang Lingshan suddenly realized: "Senior is the head of the Feng family, Feng Shaolong's father."
"Yes, I am Feng Ji. This time I invite my nephew to come, and I am talking about our hunting team. Something." Feng Jidao.
Zhang Lingshan was surprised.
At first, Feng Shaolong also wanted him to join the hunting team, but he didn't agree. Later, Master Hong was injured, and the matter was never mentioned again.
Why at this time, Feng Ji personally invited him to join the hunting team.
What a pity.
If it was before, he was still interested in monster meat, but now that absorbing evil spirits can obtain more energy points, which is more cost-effective and faster, he has lost interest in this hunting team.
Feng Ji looked at Zhang Lingshan's words and saw that Zhang Lingshan seemed not interested. He smiled, took out a wine gourd, poured Zhang Lingshan a glass of wine, and said: "This hunting team is not the same as what we said before. . How about this, my dear nephew, take a sip first and talk later.”
