Li Meng's invitation really scared the scholar-in-law who hosted the receptionist and was sweating profusely.

From the 20th day of the 12th lunar month to the tenth day of the first lunar month, this destitute scholar who worked in the Salt Administration Inspection House was really open to his eyes. Although the 10th year of Chongzhen disaster, there were still many rich and powerful people like wild dogs. They were embarrassed to come to Jiaozhou City if they were not in a county to say that they were embarrassed to come to Jiaozhou City to congratulate them. However, these characters wearing silk and satin met the staff of Jiaozhou Camp, such as this book office, who were polite. After a few days, the rewards for this book were actually worth hundreds of taels of silver, and their mentality was very different. I really felt that I was a figure.

So the man in a cloth clothes and thick-armed hands and more than a dozen dressed people came to the doorman and said that he wanted to congratulate General Li Meng and Li, and thought he was a liar who came to eat and drink.

This is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and three days have passed since the wedding banquet. In Jiaozhou City, the powerful people in the places and the envoys from the military camps in various places have begun to turn around. This sudden wedding has made many people not have a good New Year, and they have to go home and have a good time and tell them what they saw in Jiaozhou.

That is, the Earl from Nanjing and the three heads of the Zheng family in Fujian, Zheng Zhibao, were all staying in the inn. The Earl returned to Nanjing after all the procedures for Li Meng’s wedding were completed. Anyway, there were silver and red envelopes here, and when he returned, he was favored by the eunuch. Why not do it?

Even when Zheng Zhibao rushed to Jiaozhou City, he was still a little arrogant. He thought that our Zheng family was the overlord of the sea, and even the Dutch had to give in. You are a small general, even if you have the support of the eunuch, it would be a high place for the emperor. But after coming, he was shocked by the wedding scene. After following the powerful men to the city to watch the ceremony, he was even more shocked. He had seen soldiers from several provinces in the south. He immediately became awe of Li Meng, and gave him a generous gift. According to the warnings of the personnel of the Bamin Commercial Bank stationed in Shandong, he waited calmly for the other party to talk to him about things.

The bookkeeper in charge of the receptionist saw the man with big hands and feet, and immediately became angry. Especially when he listened to the other party's words from other provinces, he was even more despised. He thought that if you cheated on the wine and meals, you should have come a few days earlier. On the wedding day, the old and young people in Jiaozhou City got cheap.

Originally, he wanted to ask someone to kill him, but the man only said that he was an old acquaintance with Li Meng. He asked carefully but refused to tell the truth, which made the bookkeeper quite impatient and said in a good voice and became a bit anxious to drive him away. The man finally expressed his verbal voice, "We sell green salt."

Although the Book Office did not know some core things, it also knew some of the Qingyan business in Jining. After all, it was necessary to make accounts in their account rooms and knew that the source of the Qingyan was quite secret. Only Master Ning grasped the general account. Others had no chance to see it. After hesitating, he hurriedly reported it in.

After reporting in, the book office also greeted the soldiers who were in charge of the guards on duty, saying that if these men from other provinces had a fuss, the guards would appear in time to help disperse them. The soldiers would be fine, but the guards were the ones who had been trained for a while.

As soon as he saw these people, he found that the other party was hiding sharp blade weapons in the bag on his back and the hem of his robe. He immediately became nervous and alert. The number of guards in Jiaozhou Camp gradually increased, and the dozen men on the other party also saw that the situation was wrong, and the retreaters were nervous and careful.

The two sides were getting back and forth, and gradually became a little nervous. However, at this time, no one expected that Li Meng would come out in person, stand on the steps and see the tall man, smiled and bowed on the steps and said:

"After leaving that day, I will meet again now, and my style remains the same."

It is rare to see Li Meng speak so politely. When the guards of Jiaozhou camp saw Li Meng's attitude, they knew that the other party was not an assassin or an enemy, the scene immediately eased a little.

"General Li was overjoyed. My brothers were thinking of coming over to celebrate everyone. Who would have thought that there would be some delays on the road for a few days, but today we arrived. Don't be surprised by the stranger."

The tall man's Shaanxi accent was dressed in a businessman's dress, but he was quite awkward to say such literary official words. Li Meng smiled, reached out to make a call, and said with a smile:

"Come to me, why are you still drinking outside? Come in and warm up."

Except for the tall man who called "General Li" and "Master" when he spoke, Li Meng never said his name when he called him. When the man heard Li Meng's invitation, he bowed and clasped his fists and said:

"Then I'll bother you. I hope the brothers I'll take will arrange a place for you."

"There is a carriage shop in the military camp outside the city. If you don't dislike it, how about going there?"

"These brothers like to be slim and this is the best."

Li Meng ordered the personal soldiers around him to handle the matter. Someone led the dozens of people to stay outside the city. The man was not polite, nodded and walked towards the main gate. When he walked five steps in front of Li Meng, the man smiled and said to himself:

"Some things are left outside to avoid misunderstandings!"

While speaking, he took out a short knife from his arms and leather boots, and handed it openly to Li Meng's personal soldiers. Seeing this man of unknown origin take out a short soldier, Li Meng's personal soldiers were a little nervous, but Li Meng looked at him without caring at all, smiling as if he had seen nothing, and he still made a gesture of inviting him.

It is rare for people around to see Li Meng look so polite, and the Book Office was sweating even more. He thought that he had not said too bad words at all.

Before the two entered the inner study room, Li Meng and his personal guards advised him not to let outsiders in. Even the family members of our dean and the generals of Jiaozhou camp must be informed in advance and must be allowed by Li Meng. Seeing that Li Meng was so serious, the personal guards naturally knew that the matter was extraordinary, so they quickly arranged for them.

According to Li Meng's instructions, tea and snacks were already placed in the house. After the servants brought it, they went down by themselves. After both sides sat down, Li Meng seemed to be wandering around. He looked at the doors and windows of the house and checked that there were no outsiders. This was the place where he sat down with peace of mind.

Li Meng smiled and explained to the man:

"Don't blame me, Brother Gao is a great thing to come to me. You must be careful to be safe."

The man called Brother Gao was bowing on the chair, and a smile appeared on his face without expression, indicating that he understood this meaning and would not be misunderstood.

"Brother Gao came from western Henan, it must have been hard work along the way!"
