The tone is sincere and the attitude is humble.

The middle-aged man stood up, and said with a smile: "Haha, so you are the catcher, you are indeed young and promising!"

Ok?

County magistrate Hua was very surprised. He even wondered if he had heard it wrong. When did Jin Yiwei become so polite?

Then why don't you treat yourself so politely...

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Xiao Yi was also a little surprised, and thought to himself, "Jin Yiwei is quite kind, and not as vicious as the outside rumors say."

"Master Baihu praises it absurdly. Xiao is just in his position, planning his own affairs, and being jokingly called Catcher by the common people. This is trust and responsibility." Xiao Yi said seriously.

clap clap clap!

The middle-aged man applauded and praised: "Well said! Let me introduce myself, I am Zhou Pengtao, a hundred households in Changsha County, Jinyiwei."

"Master Baihu, Xiao Butou claimed that he has what we want!" Hua Qingyuan said aloud, explaining the purpose of coming today.

Zhou Pengtao was a little surprised, looked at Xiao Yi and asked: "Xiao Butou knows what we are looking for?"

"Horizontal knives, crossbows, leather armor, are you looking for these?"

Peng!

"Brother Xiao really knows, tell me, where are these things?" Zhou Pengtao slammed the table violently, overjoyed and urged.

"It's in Heifeng Village, only Xiao knows the location."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and inform the brothers."

Seeing that Zhou Pengtao was about to call someone to copy him in a hurry, Xiao Yi hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord, Xiao has something else to tell."

As he spoke, he took out an account book from his pocket and handed it over.

Seeing the account book, Zhou Pengtao frowned, quickly took it, and opened it directly to look through it.

After reading two pages, he quickly closed it and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

"In Feng Zitai's secret room."

As soon as this remark came out, Hua Qingyuan and Zhou Pengtao were a little bit astonished, the answer was too far from what they thought in their hearts.

I thought it was from Heifeng Village, but I didn't expect it to be from Feng Zitai.

"Haha... I already know this. I have already said that Feng Zitai must have something to do with Heifengzhai!"

Hua Qingyuan was very excited. He had been looking for Feng Zitai's excuse all the time, wanting to kill him.

Unexpectedly, there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

"Okay, good, Xiao Butou, you are really a lucky general!"

At this time, Hua Qingyuan was very satisfied with Xiao Yi. He had already decided that after Feng Zitai was eradicated, he would promote Xiao Yi vigorously.

This kid has brains, strength, and will do things. He deserves to be cultivated and become a confidant.

Xiao Yi smiled and asked, "Master, may you understand?"

Zhou Pengtao shook his head, "I don't understand!"

amount……

As if seeing Xiao Yi's doubts, Zhou Pengtao laughed, and said lightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, under Jin Yiwei's torture, there is no secret that cannot be uncovered."

The tone was flat, but there was a bloody smell faintly in it!

Seeing Jin Yiwei being so domineering and ruthless, Xiao Yi exclaimed in his heart that he was awesome.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Master Baihu, according to the information I got, the relationship between Feng Zitai and the Shen family is deeper than everyone imagined."

"Moreover, the Shen family is also involved in this batch of ordnance..."

"what?"

Zhou Pengtao was shocked immediately, with a look of disbelief, he hurriedly asked, "Is the news true? Where did you get the news from?"

"It's absolutely true! As for the source of the news, due to some reasons, it is really impossible to tell. Please forgive me, Lord Baihu."

"Well……"

Chapter 44 Sorry, I like to lie flat

Hearing Xiao Yi's answer, Zhou Pengtao hesitated.

But he saw Xiao Yi's determined and serious face again, it didn't look like he was joking.

In this world, no one dares to play with Jin Yiwei!

Xiao Yi was also a little helpless at this time. It wasn't that he deliberately kept things secret and didn't mention the source of the news, but that even if he said it, no one would believe it.

Say he can deduce the future?

Said he had a system?

That would probably be considered a fool...

……

Zhou Pengtao thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "This news is very important. If the Shen family is really involved, then it's not up to me to make decisions. It needs to be reported immediately."

"So, let's wait for two days and wait for the instructions of the superior."

So, the three of them discussed, and waited for two days without moving.

Two days passed in a flash.

……

Day three.

Xiao Yi came to the county office early in the morning and went straight to the back office.

He was taken to the living room by the maid, but found that it was empty, there was no one there, not only Hua Qingyuan was not there, but Zhou Pengtao was also missing.

Haven't woken up yet?

That's impossible, he immediately ruled out this guess.

So it's already started?

But the county government is peaceful, and nothing happens in the city, it is very peaceful.

Just as he was secretly guessing, Hua Qingyuan walked in from the outside.

"Xiao Butou came just in time, I was about to send someone to look for you."

"My lord, where's Zhou Baihu? You can't have done it already..."

"No, Lord Baihu asked me to tell you to find him at Sifang Inn."

……

So, Xiao Yi left the county office and went straight to the Sifang Inn.

The Sifang Inn is not far from the county government, and after turning two intersections, it is already in sight.

Xiao Yi entered the shop, and was immediately recognized by Xiao Er, who said happily, "The Catcher is here, sit down quickly, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Stopping the other party, Xiao Yi asked directly: "A friend named Zhou is waiting for me, can I explain to you?"

Snapped!

Xiaoer patted his forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Look at me, look at me, when I saw you coming, I was so happy that I forgot about the business. There is a guest officer named Zhou who is waiting for you in the backyard. Let's go, I take you there."

Immediately, he took Xiao Yi through a gate on the first floor of the store and entered the backyard.

The backyard is not small, and it is composed of several separate large courtyards, connected by doors.

It not only ensures a certain degree of privacy, but also facilitates the cleaning and management of the inn.

Following Xiao Er to the largest courtyard, Zhou Pengtao was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, holding a white cloth, and gently wiping the Xiuchun knife.

The blade was as bright as a mirror, and under the sunlight, it shone with a little bit of cold light, and a faint murderous aura emanated from it.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Er hurriedly apologized, turned and left, for fear of getting into trouble.

"Lord Baihu!" Xiao Yi bowed and saluted with cupped hands.

Clang!

Zhou Pengtao put away the white cloth, put the knife back into its sheath, and said with a smile, "Here we come!"

Then he said: "Lord Qianhu, news has come."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi shuddered, and quietly waited for the other party to speak.

"Brother Xiao, are you willing to join Jinyiwei?"

Xiao Yi was a little dazed for a moment, he was waiting to hear the news about Jinyiwei Qianhu, why did he suddenly start recruiting himself?

This style of painting turned so fast, it was unprepared!

"Uh, my lord, what do you mean by that?"

"Haha, are you scared?"

"No, it's just that I can't figure it out..." Xiao Yi replied truthfully.

Zhou Pengtao laughed loudly, and then explained: "Since I came to Linxiang County last month, I have been hearing about your deeds. After some investigation, I think you are a talent."

"And our Jinyiwei needs a talent like you!"

Hearing what he said, the doubts in Xiao Yi's heart these days were finally solved.

He was at home these few days, thinking about the scene where the two met that day, and couldn't understand why Zhou Pengtao was so friendly to him.

Yes, it is friendly!

You know, that's Jinyiwei, the emperor's own army, monitoring the world.

Only when he yells at others and shows off his might, when will he be so polite to others.

Looking at Zhou Pengtao's attitude towards Hua Qingyuan, one can see that the majestic ruler of a county, the parent official who has 10 lives and deaths in his hands, always behaves in a low-key manner in front of him.

Now, I finally understand, this is to cherish talents and have the heart to recruit!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help feeling complacent in his heart. Sure enough, gold can shine everywhere...

However, when he thought of Jin Yiwei's reputation and responsibilities, he hesitated.

Although Jin Yiwei is famous and unstoppable in the whole world, it is a force responsible to the emperor.

The emperor's mind is the most unpredictable!

This is a huge nest of right and wrong...

Once you join, you can't quit, and you can't quit!

This deviates greatly from the plan and ideal in his heart, and it can even be said to run counter to it.

What he longed for was,

Fresh clothes and angry horses, wielding swords in the rivers and lakes, unrestrained, carefree...

If one day I can,

No. [-] in the world, I am the only one who is the only one who commands the rivers and lakes. If you dare not to obey, then it will be more perfect!

So Xiao Yi considered his vocabulary carefully, and said in a tactful tone, "My lord, I'm a worthless person. I like to lie flat. I've been in this small place for a long time, and I'm used to being free."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such an important task as Jin Yiwei, and I'm afraid I will fail the cultivation of my lord."

"Lie down?"

"Hehe, I'm just lazy..."

Zhou Pengtao smiled and said, "This word has some meaning."

Being politely rejected, he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if Brother Xiao changes his mind in the future, he can come to Changsha County to find me at any time."

Xiao Yi naturally thanked him repeatedly, claiming that he had failed the other party's kindness.

Zhou Pengtao turned around, picked up the Xiuchun knife, and said loudly, "Come here!"
