69 Book Bar, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Little Cabinet Elder! Zhao Liben's guess was right. The next day at noon, Lao Xier's lobbyist really came.

Mr. Zhao, who was still lying in bed, took the valuable snow-blue floral invitation card from Sister Ma. He was stunned after reading the two characters "樗衰" on it. It took him a while to remember that it was the famous social activist Shao Fang.

"Do you want to see him or not?" Sister Ma sat on the edge of the bed and gently massaged Zhao Hao's temples with her soft little hands. Her technique was quite skillful.

"Hmm..." Zhao Hao originally said that he would not see her, but since it was Shao Fang who came, he couldn't help but hesitate.

He knew that Shao had been working for Gao Huzi to enter the capital for half a year, and had been frustrated several times in the imperial court. He probably had a grudge against him. Moreover, the great prophecy told him that this guy had a close relationship with the next eunuch Chen Hong. After Gao Gong came out of seclusion, he was also very grateful to him.

This Shao hero relied on the two prime ministers and the two backers to really call the shots in the government and the country for a period of time. Such a powerful and well-connected person in the martial arts world should obviously not be offended easily. Otherwise, he would fail to accomplish anything and would only cause trouble.

And since the decision has been made to let Gao Gong go, we must not offend the special envoy from Xinzheng.

He rested his head on Sister Ma's soft thighs and thought for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Let's meet him. When people in the underworld come out, they care about face."

Lord Xu just offended Shao Fang's face, but ended up losing the big picture for the small one. It was not worth it.

After spending some time with Sister Ma, Master Zhao finally came to his senses, washed and dressed neatly, and forced himself to go to the front hall to meet the guests.

I saw that the hero Shao Fang was in his forties, with a broad face and a dignified appearance. He had three long beards under his chin, eyebrows that went straight into his temples, and eyes that were bright and lively. He was indeed a martial artist with solid skills.

However, he was dressed in a well-cut silk gown, a square scarf on his head, a green jade pendant hanging from a blue silk belt around his waist, and a gold-painted folding fan made of Xiangfei bamboo in his hand, and he looked like a scholar.

Looking at the blue silk ribbon on Shao's waist, which indicated his status as a student, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but think: "I guess he has nothing to do in Beijing anyway, so he might as well donate to the prison to get gilded?"

Hey, why do you say 'also'?

Zhao Hao looked at Shao Fang, and Shao the Great Swordsman was also looking at him.

Shao Da Xia was naturally familiar with the name of this young man. However, he never expected that this young man could create two major groups in the north and south in just two years, and become an emerging force that no one could ignore.

In fact, his attempt to join the Nine Great Families was ruined by this young man. Now the Jiangnan Group is the boss of Jiangnan, so where are the Eight Great Families and Nine Great Families? His beautiful dream was naturally shattered.

Moreover, his attempts to reinstate Gao Gong were blocked time and time again by this young man.

I originally thought that he was just an up-and-coming talent who wasn't good enough, but when I really met him, I found that he was a mountain that he couldn't overcome.

However, Shao Da Xia is a Danyang Da Xia who recognizes heroes and respects heroes. He has always liked to make friends with capable people. Zhao Hao is naturally the number one person in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, people have never targeted him, but he was unlucky and was accidentally injured again and again, so Shao Fang's resentment in his heart was not too deep.

Instead, I felt a little regretful. If I had known this would happen, I should have gone to Kunshan when I left Huating and met this young man on the way.

Unexpectedly, only half a year had passed, and he was already out of his league. This was a great pity for Shao, who loved making friends and especially loved to hang out with strangers.

If he had known that this guy would be so capable, why would he have gone to the trouble of looking for Gao Xinzheng? Wouldn't he have had everything if he had just joined the Jiangnan Group?

Alas, what a pity, it's too late to say anything. Now he has to make up his mind and take care of the matter of Xinzheng Gong's comeback, then all his efforts will be worthwhile!

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Shao's mind in an instant. In Zhao Hao's opinion, he just concentrated his expression for a moment, and then he regained his composure.

After the two sides greeted each other politely, they sat down on the left and right of the host and the guest.

Young Master Zhao looked at Master Shao with admiration, his face flushed with excitement as he said, "Mr. Chu Xiu, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite. It's mutual." Shao Fang was quite touched. People from the underworld valued face the most. But people in the officialdom didn't like people from the underworld very much. Although Shao had spent a lot of money in Beijing for the past six months, he still received a lot of humiliation.

Zhao Hao's expression of admiration gave him some of the pleasure he felt when he was the Danyang hero in Jiangnan, admired by everyone.

"I grew up listening to Mr. Chu Xiu's heroic deeds." Qiaoqiao brought tea, and Zhao Hao personally served a cup of tea to Shao Fang, and said excitedly: "I have heard my father tell stories about Shao's battle in Taihu Lake, the destruction of Tianxiang Tower, the rescue of Yingniang from thousands of miles away, and the fight against the Japanese invaders side by side with General Yu since I was a child. Today I finally get to see my idol!"

Qiaoqiao, who had just retreated to the door, was stunned by what she heard. She thought, "Young Master, this is too much of a joke, isn't it?" Obviously, these stories were just asked to me and Sister Ma.

"When I was a child, whenever I cried at night, my father would say, 'Hero Shao is here,' and I didn't dare cry anymore." Qiaoqiao blushed when she heard Zhao Hao's vivid words again. That was her father who scared her and Fang Wen when they were children. How did he become his father?

Shao Da Xia also blushed, because being able to stop children from crying at night was not a good reputation.

In fact, when Shao Fang was young, he was a bandit, and he did a lot of robbing and looting. He even took thousands of brothers to Tianmu Mountain to live as a bandit. Later, when the Japanese pirates broke out, the court issued an amnesty order, and as long as the bandits fought against the Japanese pirates, they would be forgiven. He took the opportunity to go ashore and clean up his name, and became a Danyang hero who protected the country and the people and was respected by everyone.

So when he saw Zhao Hao admiring him so much, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and he even thought that he couldn't let this young man know that he had been a bad guy. He was afraid that his heroic image in the other's heart would be shattered.

So next, Zhao Hao asked a lot of questions with great interest, but he avoided the topic and didn't want to talk about his glorious past in detail.

Shao Fang patiently dealt with the little fanboy for a cup of tea. When Qiaoqiao came in again to change the tea, he finally couldn't help but take the initiative to say, "Sir, don't you want to know why I came here today?"

"Oh, I was so excited that I forgot." Zhao Hao slapped his head and said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, I am being rude."

"No problem, it's a pleasure chatting with you." Shao Fang shook her head and smiled, "It's just that I have an important responsibility, which has spoiled your mood."

"Sir, what are you talking about? I am so happy to see you, so happy!" He said loudly. "Prepare the table, I want to entertain Mr. Chu Xiu!"

As he said this, he looked at Shao Fang with enthusiasm and said, "It's noon now, sir, please come and have a chat while we eat."

"Well, I'd rather obey you than be respectful." Although Shao Fang was anxious, he was a man of the world, so he had no choice but to agree.

The banquet was served quickly.

After Master Zhao Hao came to Beijing, Zhao Xian arranged for chefs with delicious Beijing cuisine to take turns cooking at his house. So although it was a family dinner, it was a top-notch feast with all the delicacies and delicious taste.

Young Master Zhao personally held the cup and toasted frequently, with fine wine and delicious food accompanied by rich and varied words of praise. Secretary Ma also played the zither to cheer up the worldly-wise Shao, who was so drunk that he almost forgot what day it was.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, he suddenly remembered his mission, shook his head vigorously, pressed the wine cup on the table, and burped, "Master, Master Zhao, let's stop for a while and let me finish my business."

"Oh, how could I forget again?" Zhao Hao patted his forehead again, put down the wine pot and said, "Mr. Chu Xiu, please speak. I am all ears."

"This is what happened..." Shao Da Xia forced himself to stay awake, and stumblingly explained his purpose to the soft and hypnotic sound of the piano.

He really came to lobby for Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang.

Finally, Shao Fang looked at Zhao Hao with sleepy eyes and said, "I have persuaded Lord Yu Po. How about we make a deal?"

"Mr. Chu Xiu, you are the best hero in the world in my heart, please don't say any more." Zhao Hao put away his happy smile and said with a sad face: "If I continue to say this, it will hurt my feelings."

"Hey..." Shao Fang was speechless for a moment. It was for this reason that Zhang Juzheng had to hide away, and Yang Bo also wanted to find him as a lobbyist instead of meeting Zhao Hao in person.

He thought that since he and Zhao Hao didn't know each other, he naturally didn't have to worry too much and could just say whatever he wanted.

But who would have thought that the other party had been his fan since childhood. Shao Daxia, who had a heavy idol burden, could not easily wipe his face and say ugly words.

"Although I am dull, I guessed that things were going to change after being turned away at Dashamao Hutong yesterday." Zhao Hao's eyes were red, and he looked insulted and hurt, and he said bitterly:

"Mr. Chu Xiu, please judge for yourself. You said that the most important thing in life is not the word 'faith'? If a person has no faith, is he unworthy of being a hero?!"

"That's right, a man without faith cannot stand." Hero Shao had been completely led by Zhao Hao, and when he saw that he was talking about heroes again, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"These old guys went back on their word, tore up the agreement, and turned around to threaten their allies. Isn't that unkind?!" Zhao Hao beat his chest in grief, looking as if his heart was bleeding.

Shao Fang was embarrassed. The Jianghu people were the last word of faith. He couldn't say that the Shanxi Gang was right. He could only explain awkwardly:

"Lord Yupo has no choice, sir. Lord Xinzheng has waited too long and can't delay any longer."

"Gao Xinzheng is the person I respect the most!" Zhao Hao seemed to be drunk, pointing at himself with an exaggerated expression and said, "Who said I stopped him? Do I have that ability?"

Shao Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, I also thought that there was no such thing, but why did it keep being rejected in court?

"Before the imperial court recommended, officials from Jiangnan refused to vote for the Duke of Xinzheng..."

"I've heard of this, too. But I'm just a kid with only two coins, and my father is just a county magistrate. How could I possibly influence the choices of the dignitaries?" Zhao Hao cried out in disgrace.

ps. Still two updates... Sorry, but fortunately the little monk finally starts school (I can't laugh).
