292 Deliberately finding fault

"This knife is not sharp enough. Not to mention killing enemies in battle, you can't even kill chickens. It's really nonsense."

"I don't try this armor. Is this how these expensive equipment maintained?"

"Hehe, I still drink water during training, where is the military discipline?"

"This place is not swept. Is this military camp or a pig's nest? Lu Qianhu, how do you lead the troops? If the emperor knows about this, it will make Long Yan furious."

.........

When Lu Haoshan accompanied the army inspector Zhang, a few confidants, inspected the temporary military camp, this Eunuch Zhang seemed to be disliked. He could pick out bones with eggs. While looking at them, he pointed out various shortcomings. A small camp made him pick out dozens of "deficiencies". Even if he saw a little fallen leaves on the ground, it became his reason for attacking.

Lu Haoshan had no dissatisfaction on his face, so he could only admit his mistakes and promised to correct them. However, Sun Xiong and others who were following behind were furious when they heard this. This old eunuch who was neither male nor female clearly looked for trouble on purpose:

The blade is sharp and not sharp enough? Can't kill the chicken? Just kidding, try killing you, Sun Xiong secretly thought that he couldn't cut off the head of your dog, so I wrote the word Sun upside down. When training on the playground, can the armor not be dirty? It's a show of wearing it? It's all about drinking water during training. It's really a matter of the sky, earth and others' drinking water. As for the ground, it's not clean enough, it's just a few fallen leaves blown by the wind, which can also be made.

Isn’t this intentional harshness or provocation?

If this old man hadn't been a military supervisor sent by the court, everyone would have really wanted to push him to the ground and trample him to death.

Seeing that this old guy was almost picking up the tricks, Lu Haoshan then said respectfully: "Yes, yes, Eunuch Zhang has given me too much guidance. The subordinate must correct me. Eunuch Zhang, look, the time is almost the same. The subordinate has ordered someone to hold a banquet, which is to welcome Eunuch Zhang, and you can also listen to your father-in-law's teachings more during the meal."

Lu Haoshan's attitude was respectful and he never refuted. Eunuch Zhang saw this and he didn't hate him so much. Now that he heard that he had already held a banquet to greet him, his face finally eased a lot. He heard that he nodded and said, "Okay. The Lun family is a little hungry, so go."

"Yes, Eunuch Zhang please."

"Hmph" Eunuch Zhang snorted coldly, without giving in, and walked straight forward.

Lu Haoshan smiled bitterly, then glared at Li Dingguo next to him. Li Dingguo knew what Lu Haoshan meant, and it was because he was blamed for not informing him in time. He was still ignorant when the military supervisor came. He almost couldn't get out of the stage.

Li Dingguo smiled bitterly with a depressed look on his face and said in a low voice: "Sir, it's not a mistake for the brother guarding the gate. The old guy suddenly appeared. He showed a token and asked them to open the camp gate to check. A brother wanted to notify the adult, but he didn't expect that the adult was not in the camp and could not find anyone for a while. He didn't know that the adult was resting here, and he didn't expect that his own people could not be found. He actually asked the old guy to find it first."

He is a character, Lu Haoshan sighed inwardly, and then said with a playful look: "Today, the soldiers guarding the gate and the captain on duty are responsible for cleaning the toilet for three days."

"Yes, sir." Li Dingguo responded quickly, feeling secretly happy that he was not on duty today.

Seeing that the eunuch named Sun Maolin was a little far away, Lu Haoshan took two steps faster to keep up, so as not to think that the old man would feel neglected him. At that time, he would be annoyed by this old eunuch who was neither male nor female.

Eunuch Zhang walked to Shuaiying and saw a table full of dishes, including chicken, sheep, fish, meat, pastries and fruits. He nodded in his heart. It seemed that this little Qianhu was quite sensible.

"Eunuch Zhang, please sit down." Lu Haoshan said with a smile.

"Hey, Lu Qianhu, we are the only two of us who are in the table today?" Seeing the huge table, only he and Lu Haoshan, Eunuch Zhang asked strangely.

Lu Haoshan nodded: "My subordinates are too low-level and rude. How dare I sit with Eunuch Zhang? Let them go. If they are not here, we can be quieter."

Eunuch Zhang sat down and nodded, "Well, that's right, your subordinates really need to train them well."

"Yes, yes, sure, just go back and teach them a lesson."

Seeing Lu Haoshan obeying his own words, Eunuch Zhang was a little proud and said somewhat with his seniority: "Lu Qianhu, there are some things that the Lun family doesn't know whether to say or not."

"What can't be said? Eunuch Zhang, you said, the official has always wanted to listen to his father-in-law's teachings."

Eunuch Zhang coughed twice, and then he said slowly and orderly: "Running away from home is an official. Being an official is a science. To learn to be an official, you must first learn to be a human being. As long as you are well, you can do this official well. If you don't know how to adapt, it will be difficult to be a good official."

"Yes, Eunuch Zhang is right." As Lu Haoshan spoke, he took out a beautiful small box from the drawer beside him and gently placed it in front of Eunuch Zhang: "In order to thank Eunuch Zhang for his teachings, there is a little valuable local specialty here, please take it back and taste it."

Local specialty? Eunuch Zhang's eyes lit up and he opened it gently with his hands. When the small box was opened, he felt that there was dazzling golden light everywhere: it was filled with gold ingots, some gold jewelry, etc., and a small box filled with it was worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

"This, why are you so embarrassed? Lu Qianhu should take it back. The Lun family can't afford it." Eunuch Zhang said with some flattery.

I said I couldn't bear it, but my eyes were glowing and I held the box with my hands, so how could there be any sign of letting go?

At first, Lu Haoshan thought that this old man was here to inspect, but from his troubles, he knew that Eunuch Zhang, who was the military supervisor, was here to ask for bribes. By the way, he severely defeated Lao Huihui and seized a lot of spoils. When he saw him in Meng County last time, he did not pay tribute to him. So the old man was unhappy and used the name of military supervisor to make things difficult for himself. Why learn to be an official and learn to be a human being first? It sounds better than singing. In the end, isn't he asking himself to give him benefits?

This man has a temperament, either for money or for women. This old eunuch cannot be humane, so it is naturally because of money.

As a person in his second life, Lu Haoshan could not hear his implicit sound. So he secretly asked his subordinates to prepare during the inspection, and the effect was really immediate.

Fortunately, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Lu Haoshan also wants to use the wind of this bandit suppression to mention the level again. It is inevitable that he should have a good relationship with Eunuch Zhang, who is the military supervisor. Fortunately, these goods are all wealthy, some are seized from Lao Huihui, and some are calculated to get Fan Yong's fight. It is not hard-earned money, so it is not heartbreaking to share some of them.

Lu Haoshan said seriously: "This is the only thing that the officials have to do. If Eunuch Zhang doesn't accept it, he will look down on me, Mr. Lu."

Just now, I was just polite. How could I not accept so many gold and silver goods? Eunuch Zhang smiled like a flower. While closing the lid of the small box, he smiled and said, "Hehe, Lu Qianhu is indeed a person with temperament. The Lun family admires the most is a young talent like Lu Qianhu. Not bad, not bad. If you have the chance, the Lun family will always say a few good words to the emperor. When the emperor is happy, you will rise to the top."

After receiving so much wealth, Eunuch Zhang hurriedly gave a "blank check". Anyway, he still didn't say it, and this little thousand household could not verify it.

"I thank my elder brother-in-law for help, and I am grateful." Lu Haoshan said thankfully quickly.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say."

A box of gold and silver treasures immediately made Eunuch Zhang's face turn from shade to sunny, and quickly brought the relationship between the two. Lu Haoshan pointed to the food on the table and said, "Eunuch Zhang, let's have a meal. If you don't eat this dish, it will be cold. However, this cook is a Sichuan chef and can't make food from the capital. I don't know if it suits my father-in-law's appetite..."

After receiving a large sum of money, Eunuch Zhang became particularly easy to talk. He laughed and said with a relaxed look: "It doesn't matter. The Lun family is not picky about food. They are used to eating any kind of food. Lu Qianhu is troubled."

"Eunuch Zhang, please"

"please"

This... Just the first bite, Eunuch Zhang's face changed a little. Lu Haoshan didn't know whether it was suitable for his appetite. He thought it was just a polite sentence, but he didn't expect that Lu Qianhu didn't exaggerate it. As soon as the dish entered his mouth, Eunuch Zhang almost choked. It was spicy. Try other dishes. It was either salty or light, or the taste was weird. Eunuch Zhang was not used to it. Facing the delicious food on the table, he had no appetite.

If it weren't for the large bribes in front of us, Eunuch Zhang would have wanted to overturn the table, but Lu Qianhu was very enthusiastic and kept advising him to eat. This made Eunuch Zhang eat, and it would be better if he didn't eat it. This meal would be so depressed.

After finally finishing the meal, the Eunuch Zhang, who had gained a lot of benefits, used the excuse of going to other places to inspect, and no longer asked Lu Haoshan for tricks, and rode his horse and left straight.

It's really a hurry to come and go.

"Lu Qianhu, it seems that the chef here also needs to teach you." This was the last sentence that Eunuch Zhang said before getting on the carriage. When he heard this, Lu Haoshan felt happy.

After Eunuch Zhang left, Li Dingguo asked curiously: "Sir, aren't you interested in making friends with this eunuch in the military? But why did you let the fire-burning master? It turns out that Master Cai, who is the one who is holding the spoon, isn't the skill of the spoon good? I just saw the fire-burning guy, mixing the oil and vinegar."

Here I gave him a big bribe, and deliberately messed up the food, what exactly should my own adult do?

"I feel disgusted with him, so I make this guy bark as soon as he enters the door." Lu Haoshan said with some fun.

"Sir, this..."

Lu Haoshan patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'm making fun of you. This is what I arranged on purpose. Master Cai is indeed a good dish. However, if the food is too good, the eunuch in charge will eat well by then. Maybe he will stay for a few more days or not leave here. Wouldn't that invite the plague god into the house? He did it a little worse, even if he stayed here, he wouldn't be able to stay here. This is the strategy."

Oh, so that's it. Li Dingguo suddenly realized that no wonder his elders gave him a generous gift before he had eaten. This was usually given after dinner. It turned out that he had blocked his mouth first, so that he could not hold his hands tight and his mouth could not be hard.
