Wu Shigong concentrated his attention and then said to Li Pengfei: "Well, it's easy for us brothers to get together. It's better not to talk about these unpleasant things. By the way, brother Li came to see me for something important."

"

Li Pengfei glanced at Wu Shigong and said: "To tell you the truth, brother, I am here to be a lobbyist. A smart person like me should be able to guess what I am going to say to you. Brother, I will rely on my old-fashioned persuasion.

In one sentence, brother, you have to give up where you should give up."

Wu Shigong pondered for a while and then said to Li Pengfei: "Brother Li is saying that he wants his younger brother to give up the credit for quelling the rebels?"

Li Pengfei nodded and said with a smile: "I know that I am a smart man. To be honest, I am working for Eunuch Xiao right now. Eunuch Xiao also needs these credits to keep his position. However, what do you want me to do?

Let me tell you, brother. As long as you can do it, Eunuch Xiao has already guaranteed it, and you will definitely not be shortchanged."

In fact, Wu Shigong didn't want these credits in his heart because he didn't want to attract the attention of Emperor Chongzhen. However, now that Wu Shigong knew that these officials needed his credits to protect their positions, he definitely wanted to take these credits.

Get some benefits in exchange.

Wu Shigong pretended to think about it for a while, then he pretended to sigh and said to Li Pengfei: "Forget it, I can only say that my life is not good. However, I do have a few requirements here."

After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Li Pengfei showed a smile on his face, and he quickly asked: "Brother, what do you say?"

"The first request is, little brother, I got into a lawsuit in the capital. On the way from the capital to return to Germany, I had a fight with a juren. The juren came to the capital and sued me. Now the Ministry of War has brought me

I am suspended from office and asked to write a self-defense letter. But Brother Li knows the ink in my stomach, and I can never play with a pen. Should I ask Eunuch Xiao to be accommodating to the superiors and let this lawsuit go?

That’s it.”

Li Pengfei frowned, feeling that this matter was not easy to handle. He wanted to understand the matter more clearly. He then asked: "Then why did I hit the person who held the ceremony?"

"For a woman."

Li Pengfei's mind turned around and he said: "Where is that woman now? Brother, I also have a few confidants. If I do it to that woman, there will be no evidence. When the time comes, it will be fine if I drag her along."

Wu Shigong was startled by Li Pengfei's words. He quickly said: "That woman is now my younger brother's concubine. She has a child in her belly."

After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Li Pengfei burst out laughing. He pointed at Wu Shigong with his finger: "You are so jealous! This matter will be easy to handle. Don't tell me that you will still have some credit left this time."

, a promotion may not be enough, but it would be more than enough to atone for one’s sins.”

"If that Ju Ren makes trouble, let the jealousy between you two go out. At that time, it doesn't matter if we warriors lose some face, but the scholars need to be shameless the most. Let your Xue family go back to that Ju Ren to spend some money, then

Otherwise, everything will be fine."

It suddenly dawned on Wu Shigong that this expert's intervention was different. The problem that had troubled him for so many days was solved by Li Pengfei in just a few words.

Seeing that the first condition was solved, Wu Shigong continued: "The second condition is that the Thousand Household Office that I am acting for has to turn in money and food every year. This year's drought is very serious, and there may be no harvest. When I arrived at this Thousand Household Office, I

Later, I subsidized a lot of money myself."

"And Li Bingbeidao, who manages my younger brother, is more sincere. Every year, he requires me to pay all the money and food turned over to my Qianhu Office. My younger brother is afraid that he will be in deficit again this year."

Hearing this request, Li Pengfei responded cheerfully: "There is absolutely no problem with this. There is a drought in Henan this year. When the emperor's imperial edict to reduce or reduce money and food comes, let Eunuch Xiao go to Li Bingbeidao to say hello and give your thousand

Just move your residence to an area where money and food are exempted. This tax-free quota is not given to anyone."

Seeing that the second condition was satisfactorily resolved, Wu Shigong continued: "The last request is that I paid a heavy price for letting the sons and daughters fight this time. The seizures in the rebel camp this time can belong to me."

Li Pengfei immediately replied: "Of course there is absolutely no problem with that. But I would like to remind you. Eunuch Xiao can restrain the soldiers in Guide Fucheng here, but with the reinforcements coming from all around, it is impossible to stop them from making a fortune. Brother, you have to act quickly.

a little."

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, both of them were very happy. Li Pengfei was eager to go back and resume his duties. He also saw Wu Shigong yawning several times in succession. So after drinking a few more glasses of wine, he said goodbye.

But although Li Pengfei said goodbye, he refused to move. Wu Shigong understood immediately. Just now, Master Mou's body was where the old man Zhao Ming drank from the official. But the "Great Song Kingdom" in Wu Shigong's hands

The imperial seal and dragon robe, as well as the golden Buddha statues and gold ingots were not handed over.

Wu Shigong asked Li Pengfei to wait. He returned to the room where those things were kept, opened the big bag containing these things, thought about it, took a piece of cloth from the room, and put the gold ingots into the cloth.

After collecting and wrapping the baggage, he walked out of the house and handed the baggage to Li Pengfei.

Li Pengfei took the baggage, opened it and checked it, and found that everything was complete. Then he wrapped the baggage and formally left.

Before leaving, Li Pengfei said to Wu Shigong: "To be fair, my requirements are indeed not high. If I go to Eunuch Xiao to fight for it, I will always let him show up in the credit book. I am a thankless soldier.

Don't be a member of the Qianhu family anymore. Give me a formal military position (that is, a guard like Li Lu). Raise some soldiers, and you can drink some of the soldiers' blood."

Wu Shigong's eyes lit up after listening to Li Pengfei's words. Wu Shigong now orders soldiers from Han Xin, the more the better. If Wu Shigong can still use the military pay from the imperial court to raise some soldiers, and Wu Shigong controls this thousand soldiers through his apprentice Tao Xin,

If the soldiers in Husuo are removed, Wu Shigong's strength will be greatly strengthened. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

Wu Shigong quickly replied: "Brother Li has to worry about it. However, I have been operating in Guide for a long time, so it is best not to leave Guide."

"There should be no problem with this. But I don't dare to vouch for it, brother. But there is no soldier in Guide Mansion, and there is a rebellion again this time. Now there should be no problem if we set up some soldiers. Let's do this, brother

Just go to Eunuch Xiao and mention it, and the chance of agreeing is estimated to be more than 80%."

In fact, Li Pengfei's suggestion was not without purpose. After all, Li Pengfei was a master of observing people's actions. These days he followed Eunuch Xiao, and from Eunuch Xiao's words and deeds, he could see that Eunuch Xiao was very dissatisfied with Jiang Guerrilla's silver gun candlestick.

As the military supervisor of Henan, Eunuch Xiao always has some generals who are like little tigers under his command, and Eunuch Xiao admired Wu Shigong's brave performance today. In Eunuch Xiao's words and deeds just now, he also revealed that he was recruiting.

The intention was to win over Wu Shigong. Therefore, Li Pengfei simply sold a good deal to Wu Shigong first, so that Wu Shigong could be mentally prepared.

When he walked to the door, Li Pengfei turned around, patted Wu Shigong on the shoulder, and said to Wu Shigong: "Brother, I can't say anything sissy. Take care, brother!"

"Take care!" Wu Shigong replied, opening his arms.

Seeing Wu Shigong's appearance, Li Pengfei smiled. He dropped the baggage in his hands and opened his arms to hug Wu Shigong. Both of them patted each other hard on the back several times...

After saying goodbye to Li Pengfei, Wu Shigong returned to the table and had a full belly. Then he went to the bedroom in the inner room to take a nap.

Throughout the afternoon, Wu Shigong took a nap in An's bedroom. He slept very deeply. In his sleep, Wu Shigong kept having all kinds of strange dreams. It was not until dinner was approaching that Wu Shigong was escorted by a guard.

Wake up from sleep.

When the guard saw that Wu Shigong had woken up, he said softly to Wu Shigong: "Uncle, there are people sent by Master Hou and Master Fu Zun outside to come to you and ask you to attend the banquet in the evening."
