Mrs. Rebirth

Seeing that the time hadn't come yet, Zuo Shaoqing simply ordered a few side dishes and ate them first, anyway, he would not be able to eat enough for such an occasion.

Picked chopsticks of vegetables for Zuo Xiaolang, "Don't worry about eating meat, eat more vegetables!" When Zuo Xiaolang had just brought it back, Zuo Shaoqing was worried that his stomach was not good, so he only let him drink meat porridge every day Drinking the soup made this little thing even more craving for meat, to the point where he couldn't get enough of meat.

Although Zuo Xiaolang disliked the green vegetables, as long as it was offered by Zuo Shaoqing, he would not refuse it, swallowed it whole and then took a big bite with the chicken leg.

Zuo Shaoqing never thought that he would be able to correct Zuo Xiaolang's faults all at once, things have to be done step by step, so he completely ignored his unmannered dining posture, and just brought him some food and a bowl of soup from time to time .

When Zuo Xiaolang was [-]% full, Zuo Shaoqing asked people to take away the food. Once this little thing started to eat, he didn't care how big his belly was, and he would eat until he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Ah... eat..." Zuo Xiaolang looked at the plate of meat that was taken away, and licked his lips greedily.

Zuo Shaoqing asked Luo Xiaoliu to wait for him to wash his hands and rinse his mouth, and then carried him out of the box. The time for the appointment with He Tongping had also come, and it was time to go to the appointment.

As soon as they walked out of the private room, Xiao Er came up to him and said, "Is it Mr. Zuo? Mr. He has arrived, please follow me."

Zuo Shaoqing was not surprised that the other party knew his position, and it must have something to do with He Tong's contract in the Crane Tower.

Following Xiaoer up to the third floor, Zuo Shaoqing saw the man waiting outside the door at a glance. He was a man in his thirties, wearing loose casual clothes, with a horn beard and shrewd eyes. He was definitely not easy to get along with.

Hearing that He Tongpan was brought out by Lin Zhihao, he used to be an aide of the Lin family, and later became a Jinshi, so he followed Lin Zhihao logically.

It can be said that Lin Zhihao is today, thanks to this man.

When Zuo Shaoqing looked at this man, the other party also evaluated him secretly. It is undeniable that Zuo Shaoqing's appearance is very eye-catching, and people can see him at a glance in the crowd. He is delicate and handsome, with excellent temperament.

He Tongpan's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a smile on his face, "This must be Mr. Zuo, right? I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

"Master He has been waiting for a long time!" Zuo Shaoqing handed Zuo Xiaolang to Luo Xiaoliu's care, and cupped his hands at He Tongpan.

His official rank is one level higher than that of Tong San, so there is no need to be too polite.

"Where is that, the time is just right, the official is anxious to see Mr. Zuo's demeanor, so he is impatient." He Tongpan led the people into the private room, and immediately someone came in with freshly baked meals, which were filled to the brim. a table.

Zuo Shaoqing glanced at it casually, and found that the dishes were quite rich, with all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. It seems that the general judge has a full cyst.

"The child was hungry just now, so we used some first, Master He won't mind?" Since he was able to wait outside the door where they were eating, this He Tongpan must know what they were doing just now.

"Of course, children can't be hungry, Master Zuo can do whatever they want." He Tongpan was not too polite, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Zuo Shaoqing, and chatted about a random topic.

Zuo Shaoqing didn't understand his reason for coming, seeing that he hadn't gotten to the point, she wasn't in a hurry, but chatted without saying a word.

Speaking of which, He Tongpan is really a wonderful person, his language is humorous, and he is neither humble nor overbearing. After a conversation, it can be seen that he has outstanding literary talent and rich experience. He is worthy of Lin Zhihao's think tank.

Zuo Shaoqing had just entered the officialdom and was still in the learning stage, so he didn't have a trustworthy confidant around him, but this matter couldn't be rushed, and it must be difficult to find a wise, strategic and loyal aide.

After drinking for three rounds, He Tong asked casually, "I don't know what Master Zuo thinks of Crane City?"

At the beginning, Zuo Shaoqing thought that this official wanted to get on Lu Zheng by himself. After all, it was too difficult for a general judge to get on with Duke Zhen. Since marrying Lu Zheng, he had seen too many people who approached him with various purposes.

"Crane City is very good. Judging from the past few days, the people in Crane City have ample food and clothing, and the prosperity of the people makes the country safe. These are all thanks to the prefect Lin."

"Lord Lin is indeed ambitious and dedicated to serving the people, but Crane City's existence today is all due to the emperor's foresight, which lifted the sea ban, and Lord Lu suppressed a nest of pirates, making it much safer for sea merchants to go to sea." He Tongjuan's words not only elevated his own superiority, but also flattered Emperor Tianfeng and Lord Zhen Guo.

Zuo Shaoqing had a good impression of this person, "It's a blessing that the prefect of Lin has such an assistant as He Tongsan."

"Your Excellency, I'm just doing my job well." He Tongpan said modestly, and suddenly mentioned: "This official has worked with the prefect of Lin for many years, and there is some tacit understanding. Unfortunately, the prefect of Lin is about to be transferred. I'm afraid in the future. It’s hard to meet such a tacit understanding of Shangfeng.”

Zuo Shaoqing was a little surprised. Could it be that this man wanted to have a relationship with him and help him transfer to the capital?

This doesn't seem to make sense. If prefect Lin is transferred to the capital, he will definitely try his best to get his confidants there.

He showed appropriate surprise, "It turns out that Prefect Lin is going to be promoted? This is the first time I've heard of it. Congratulations in advance."

"This matter has not yet been determined. Can Lord Zuo keep it a secret first? In case... the next official will have no face to face Lord Lin."

"Naturally." Zuo Shaoqing agreed. He was extremely curious and wanted to know what this man wanted to do.

"Don't be afraid to tell your lord the truth, Crane City is my hometown, and it is my lifelong wish to be an official here and do something for my hometown."

"Congratulations, Mr. Gao Yi!"

He Tongpan seemed to just want to find someone to tell, and said with emotion: "I should have entered the capital with Mr. Lin, but I really can't let go of the people in this place, hey..."

Zuo Shaoqing changed his mind, and persuaded with a smile on his face: "In this case, why not stay with Mr. He? There is no banquet in the world."

"Having said that, Mr. Zuo may not know that I used to be Mr. Lin's aide. It is only because of Mr. Lin's help that I am today. I really can't forget my roots."

Zuo Shaoqing had some guesses, but he couldn't be sure. He just followed his words and said, "Master He, why bother with this? Although the man here has kindness to you, he definitely doesn't want you to repay him."

He Tongpan seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and a smile appeared on his face, "Master Lin is open-minded, so naturally he doesn't need to be a subordinate official to repay him. The subordinate official just doesn't want to leave Master Lin."

Speaking of this, Zuo Shaoqing is already sure that this He Tongpan wants to part ways with the prefect Lin, but it is not clear whether it is true or false, but it is obvious that he wants to take refuge in him by telling him such a private matter .

He quickly analyzed it in his mind. Judging from his motives, [-]% of them wanted to use his own strength to escape from Li Zhihao, and he wanted to stay in Crane City as an official in both words and deeds. Maybe he also wanted to help him stabilize his official position. .

However, why did he find himself?To be honest, he didn't believe that this person would be controlled by Lin Zhihao.

Strange ah strange.

He Tongpan lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, with deep thought in his eyes. He also thought about it for a long time before making this decision. Lin Zhihao is not a wise master, especially this time when he seized the Cao Gang's boat, he saw clearly that this person was too high-spirited .

But he will not betray Lin Zhihao, but it does not prevent him from slowly breaking away from him. Everything in the past should be regarded as his repaying Lin Zhihao's kindness. He does not want to be tied to the same boat with Lin Zhihao for the rest of his life.

Therefore, first of all, he had to find someone who could fight against Lin Zhihao, and then find an excuse to persuade Lin Zhihao to let him stay in Crane City, and gradually cut off contact.

There are many things in the capital, I believe Lin Zhihao will have a new confidant soon, and when he finds out that he is no longer needed, he will naturally cut off contact, so as not to arouse Lin Zhihao's anger and revenge.

As for finding Zuo Shaoqing, of course, it was mostly because of his incredible relationship with Mr. Lu. With Mr. Lu behind him, he would be more confident.

Moreover, Zuo Shaoqing was still so young, and no matter how smart and experienced he was, it was easier to convince him. To put it bluntly, he never thought that a 14-year-old boy could have much ability.

He Tongpan had a good plan, he wanted to get rid of the old master and gain the trust of the new master, and his vision was different from Lin Zhihao's. Compared with the complicated capital, he felt that it was easier to make political achievements in Crane City.

Smart people always hide things very deeply when dealing with smart people. After Zuo Shaoqing understood what he meant, he seldom opened his mouth. He needed more time to understand this person.

"Inviting Mr. Zuo to come here today is actually just because he is curious about how much Mr. Zuo is, and he also wants to make a friend. I hope Mr. Zuo will not find it offensive."

"Of course not. It's a good thing for me to be able to confirm He Tongpan when I first came to Crane City."

Zuo Shaoqing was assessing, assessing whether this person was useful to him, and how to use it. He didn't mind the other party using him, as long as the other party was in his grasp, mutual use was inevitable.

It's just that such a person must not be his aide, the two sides can only be a cooperative relationship at most.
