Pei Mao smiled and said, "Okay, Ziyi, you come to me. You can't just want to chat with me as simple as this, right? If you have anything, just say it, don't bend around the bush."

Lu Ning was stunned after hearing this. His grandmother's, Caizi's current subordinates would not be too lazy to come to see you if they were not a lack of internal affairs staff. Besides, if you were not Pei Songzhi's ancestor, I would not come to visit you. Have you just been an official in the court for a few years? What's so great? Now I'm starting to show off my tricks for Lu Ning, and Lu Ning won't take this trick.

Lu Ning said: "Old man, it is sincere to me to visit you. Of course, if you are willing, can you let your four wise men come out to do something for the people of Hedong?"

Pei Mao laughed and said, "Ziyi, do you want my four sons to serve you and let them join you? I heard that right, I asked them to serve you, what will the ministers in the court look at me, and what will scholars in the world say to me? This is impossible. My son will not serve you. Your killing is too heavy, and there is bloody storm everywhere you go, so you will die."

When Lu Ning heard this, he said, "Damn, am I so bad? If it weren't for the smooth acceptance of Hedong, why didn't Lu Ning ask your son to serve me?" You would be too despised yourself.

Lu Ning said very seriously: "Old man, you are wrong. I don't need your son to serve me, and I don't want them to surrender to me, and I don't have the right to let them serve me. I still have this self-knowledge."

Pei Mao was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Ning's words. What are you saying? Didn't you ask Lu Ning's son to do things for you just now? Why don't you say you don't need it? Pei Mao was stunned for a while before saying, "What do you mean? Are you here to tease me?"

Lu Ning said seriously: "I asked your son to come out to serve the people of Hedong. They did not serve me, nor did they serve me, nor did they rely on me. I don't have such a great face, but the people of Hedong should have greater face than me. I won't force you. You can think about it before making a decision."

Pei Mao laughed wildly after hearing this and said, "You are wrong. Let my son do things for the people of Hedong. Hedong is your place of restraint. Is there any difference between serving you?"

Lu Ning laughed loudly and said after laughing: "Hedong is my place of restraint, it is also my place of Han Dynasty, the emperor, and the court governed by the court. If your son is to do things for the people of Hedong, they are of course doing things for the emperor and the court. Why do they say they are doing things for me? Is my place of restraint not the place of the Han court? The place under my jurisdiction is also appointed by the emperor to control me. I am not an independent kingdom, nor is it a thief, or something like you said. I am also recognized by the court. The emperor personally appointed the ranks of the border officials, and I am also working for the court, and I am also working for the emperor. How can you say that your son is doing things in the jurisdiction of my control to serve me? What is this logic?"

After hearing this, Pei Mao was speechless and couldn't speak for a moment. He knew that Lu Ning was quibbling, but he was talking without any comment. Of course Pei Mao knew that the disciples and old officials who were talking about now would always be covered with Lu Ning's trademark. But if there was no legitimate reason to refuse, how could he live in Hedong in the future? If Lu Ning was conquered to death, as long as he was not careful, he would be forced to suppress Lu Ning at any time, and even a disaster of genocide would be caused.

Pei Mao thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons and felt that he could only compromise under Lu Ning's tyranny, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. He shook his head and sighed, "Okay, then let my four sons come out first to do something for the people of Hedong."

After hearing this, Lu Ning, old man, you are not tough, you know you are afraid. Once your son comes out to do things, don’t think of tearing off the trademark of Lu Ning on them. Lu Ning stood up and bowed to Pei Mao and said, “Then I will thank you, Mr., on behalf of the people of Hedong, for your four sons, for your work under Derong for the time being, let them start from the county magistrate first. I also want to see if your son is real gold. You have to tell them not to let me down. This is to lose your old man’s face.”

After Pei Mao returned the gift, he almost couldn't get up after hearing Lu Ning's words. He agreed to his son to do something, but was also damaged by Lu Ning. If his son was really incompetent, it would be strange if you didn't laugh to death.

Pei Maoqiang pretended to be a smile and said, "Please don't worry, Ziyi, I will tell them to do things well, and I will never let you down, and I can't afford to lose this old face."

When Lu Ning saw that everything was done, he would rather go on a walk. If he stayed there, he wouldn't know how this old man would come to beat me. I can't afford to offend me, so he got up and said goodbye.

On the way back to Wenxi County Government, Zhang Ji said, "Lord, do you see? If you didn't come forward, how could you do the Pei family? This is the same as Mr. Pei. At first, I was angry when I heard it. Later, after he was teased by his lord, I was so happy when I heard it. I guess Mr. Pei would be depressed for a long time."

Lu Ning said: "You should carefully examine the officials in Derong, Hedong and Pingyang areas, especially the county magistrates in various places. This is related to the safety of all people in a county. The good and bad development of a place has a lot to do with the local county magistrates. If the county magistrate has strong abilities and integrity and dedication, the development of the place will be good, otherwise the harm will be very great."

Zhang Ji said: "Don't worry, lord, I will do my best to do my best."

After Lu Ning and his friends rested in the county government for a while, Lu Ning said, "Derong, I think these wealthy families must communicate with each other. I guess the mother Qiu Jian, the mother Qiu Zhonggong, who is now in the mother Qiu family, should know that Pei Mao, the head of the Pei family, asked his four sons to come out to do things. Otherwise, we will go to visit the mother Qiu family now, and maybe we can settle the mother Qiu Jian?"

After hearing this, Zhang laughed and said, "The lord is right. When his mother Qiu Jian heard that Pei Mao surrendered, he would also have to consider the interests of his family. If he dared to be stubborn, his family's interests would be threatened. Even if we don't suppress his family, we will probably be suppressed by the Pei family over time. However, what his family does not want to see. If we go now, it is estimated that the possibility of success is very high. After all, the Pei family has the second only to the Wei family in Hedong. Now that the Pei family has surrendered, he dares not to surrender."
