Chapter 270 Lord Governor has many talented people under his command!
Upon hearing the enthusiastic introduction, Xiao Lezi looked straight at the silver-haired old man Wang in front of him.
Ugh, this, this is really unexpected!!
However, Le Dazhang was smart. Seeing his master's expression, he immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over for his master. "Old Master Wang, this is also a loving couple. Although they are old, their hearts are still young. Haha, but the governor has many talented people under him. Madam, look, the man under Old Master Wang—"
Xiao Tu looked over when he heard that.
He was a man in a dark blue official robe, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, handsome and elegant, with a refined manner and the air of a man well-read.
Xiao Lezi enthusiastically introduced Xiao Tu, "This is Xue Fei, the Minister of Revenue. Although he may seem like a weak scholar, he is truly talented and capable. He was only thirty years old when the Governor-General promoted him to the position of Minister of Revenue.
A year ago, when he took office, he helped the Ministry of Revenue recover hundreds of thousands of taels of silver owed to the national treasury by more than a dozen royal relatives and officials.
At the banquet, Xue Fei stood up with a smile and raised a glass of wine towards this side.
Ning Cuo's expression returned to normal. He looked at this person with a hint of satisfaction and said to Xiao Tu, "This person is not bad. He is considered a promising young man."
Xiao Tu looked at Xue Fei in silence for a second, then turned to Ning Cuo and asked, "Didn't it take Mr. Xue less than a month to collect the debts and get those debtors to pay off their debts willingly?"
Ning Cuo curled his lips and smiled, "I can see that this person is quite capable, as he can make these deadbeats pay their debts on their own initiative!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tu looked at him strangely and said, "Of course he's not ordinary. Seeing that those royal relatives and officials refused to pay their debts, he began to seduce their wives everywhere. In less than half a month, relying on drinking aphrodisiacs every day, he slept with thirteen of these people's wives and eleven of their favored and coquettish concubines. He successfully persuaded these women to persuade him so much that these officials willingly paid their debts."
Ning Cuo: “…”
Xiao Lezi: “…”
Xiao Tu continued, "Fortunately, this guy doesn't plan to get married and doesn't have a wife at home. Otherwise, even if he drinks aphrodisiacs every day, he wouldn't be able to hold on~"
Ning Cuo: “…”
Xiao Lezi: “…”
"Ahem," Xiao Lezi coughed furiously, his face still twitching as he tried to help his master. "Ahahahaha~, well, Lord Xue has been working very hard, all for the court. Ahem... Madam, look at the guy next to Lord Xue. This guy is truly remarkable! He's been a child prodigy since he was little!"
Xiao Tu was indeed attracted to the child prodigy when he heard it.
At the banquet, a young man dressed in a navy blue official robe with a crane and auspicious clouds on it, with black hair and black eyes, an outstanding appearance, deep black eyebrows and eyes, a dignified and elegant posture, sitting upright, and an elegant demeanor.
"This is Lord Chen Ziyuan, the Second Rank Minister of the Cabinet. He was able to compose poetry and prose at the age of six and passed the imperial examination at ten. Not only is he a brilliant writer, but he is also intelligent and insightful, and he is incredibly smart. Over the years, he has been nicknamed Zhuge Liang by people both inside and outside the court!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tu looked at Ning Cuo and said, "Needless to say, this person is also someone that Governor Ning values very much."
Ning Cuo coughed and said, "This person is the one I have chosen as the next Prime Minister."
Xiao Tu touched his chin and said, "The Prime Minister, his position is more important than the previous ones, but this person is worthy of the Governor's reliance."
Ning Cuo felt relieved upon hearing this, finally feeling normal again. He was about to smile when Xiao Tu continued, "He's a good person, but he likes to eat all sorts of weird things. It must be pica!"
Xiao Lezi laughed immediately after hearing this, "It's okay to eat anything you want, it's okay, they're just small problems, small problems, hahaha..."
It's just eating some random food, but it's better than the previous two. One was over 60 years old and was beaten by his wife, and the other drank aphrodisiacs and slept with women at the risk of his life. This is much better!
He almost cried with joy~
Even Ning Cuo felt inexplicably relieved!
Just as he was about to reveal his devilish expression again, he saw his most trusted, extremely intelligent, and known as the "Rival of Zhuge Liang" Chen Lord, suddenly and stealthily plucked a small branch from the hem of Ji Daxueshi's clothes beside him. He had accidentally brought back a small branch from the Imperial Garden, and then, at lightning speed, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it - ate it!
Ning Cuo: “……………………”
Xiao Lezi: “…”
Xiao Tu couldn't help but sigh at this moment, "His hands are so fast, Ji Qinghe, the smiling tiger, didn't even notice it~"
Ning Cuo: “…………………………………………”
