Chapter 334: The Little Ghost Comes to the Door
Jinghong likes really smart people and honest people who don't pretend to be smart, and the shopkeeper obviously belongs to this second type of person, which makes Jinghong feel that it is not a loss to spend a pill to save him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She threw two twenty-tael silver ingots to the shopkeeper, "These silver are our tea money and compensation to the store, and the excess will be rewarded to you." ”
The shopkeeper respectfully responded "yes", and then came out of the private room with the support of Qinghui.
In just a while, there were already many guests watching the excitement outside the private room, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse also rushed over when he heard the news.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was helped out by Qinghui, the shopkeeper hurriedly ordered the two shopkeepers who came up with him to check the situation to go up to replace Qinghui, and he himself took a few steps forward to thank Qinghui, "There is this uncle." ”
Qinghui bowed slightly to him, then turned back to the private room.
The shopkeeper was about to ask him to stay, but the shopkeeper who had been helped out by Qinghui before stopped him.
"Shopkeeper. His voice was not as loud as before, and the shopkeeper and the other two shopkeepers almost immediately heard that he was a little lacking in energy, "Shopkeeper, those uncles just now wanted to rob this private room, but they were beaten out by the three guests inside. The villain was kicked by the leader of the uncle, but he didn't have time to stop them. ”
The corners of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched when he listened.
Just for the sake of a private room, these two groups of people not only smashed many of the furniture, cups, plates and bowls in their teahouse, but also almost killed people.
In these days, people with a little strength are really domineering, don't want it!
After sighing in his heart, the shopkeeper was busy and instructed the shopkeeper, "In this case, then you should go and invite the three guests inside to entertain you." ”
Although the shopkeeper said this politely, in fact, the subtext was to look at them in shock, so as to prevent them from running away when they saw that the situation was not good, so that as the shopkeeper of the teahouse, he could not explain to his owner and the government of Pingyang County.
There is the Marquis of Pingyang, who is secretly called "the living king of the land scraper" by the people of Qin as an example, and the officials of Pingyang County Government are naturally effective from the top to the bottom, not to mention the county guards, masters, etc., and even those lowest-level soap officials often blatantly accept bribes.
For those who open their doors to do business, such as teahouses, wine shops, and inns, in order to seek harmony and peace, they have to make offerings to the big ghosts and little ghosts in the yamen for many years.
But these "tributes" do not keep them safe under all circumstances.
It's okay that nothing happens, but once something happens, such as today, when someone is beaten half to death in their teahouse, those big ghosts and little ghosts will never let go of this opportunity to knock them hard.
This is also the reason why the shopkeeper has to leave them behind.
The shopkeeper didn't go in to invite someone as he said, he came to the shopkeeper's side and handed over the two big silver ingots that Jinghong gave him in a concealed manner, "Shopkeeper, this is the tea money and compensation given by the three guests inside." ”
A full forty taels of snowflake silver dazzled the shopkeeper's eyes at once, and these silvers were enough to compensate them twice.
But when he thought of the terrible big ghosts and little ghosts under the hands of the living king Pingyang Hou, the shopkeeper immediately sobered up.
He can't be fooled by silver!
No matter what, he can't let these big ghosts and little ghosts possess his host!
Putting away the two ingots of silver handed over by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper personally knocked on the door of the private room, "Three distinguished guests, the villain is the shopkeeper of this teahouse, I have something to ask to see the three distinguished guests, and please come out to see them." ”
The room was silent.
The shopkeeper said "not good", and then shouted to the inside of the private room: "If the three distinguished guests don't come out, the old man will go in!"
There was still silence in the room.
The onlookers shouted to the shopkeeper in a heckling voice:
"I said Lao Wu, what are you still rubbing here? Those people must have already run away!"
"That's right, Old Wu. You'd better hurry up and send someone to chase after you!"
The shopkeeper couldn't hold it anymore, and slammed the door of the private room open with a strong bang.
"The official of the government is here!"
I don't know who shouted, and the guests who were still gathered to watch the excitement immediately dispersed, and then ran outside the teahouse one after another.
The shopkeeper also walked out of the empty private room with a dark face, but as the shopkeeper, he could not run away like the guests.
He glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, and then hurried downstairs to meet the servants of the government.
The bookkeeper of the teahouse saw the opportunity, and while he walked out from behind the counter, he took advantage of the wide robe and big sleeves to stuff a purse full of loose silver for the teahouse shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse knew that the silver was used by the bookkeeper to give him some errands, and he sighed secretly, and then sleeved up his purse.
Let's talk about Jinghong, Yunqi and Qinghui.
In order to avoid being the center of attention, the three of them jumped out of the window and left the teahouse immediately after sending the shopkeeper out of the private room.
However, they did not go far, and the three of them walked through the streets and alleys, and soon sat down in another teahouse two blocks away from the place where the incident occurred.
ordered a pot of good tea and four plates of dim sum for Qinghui, while Jinghong and Yun Qi were still holding a light of spiritual tea each, letting go of their spiritual sense to listen to the news.
Because the previous teahouse was also within the scope of their spiritual sense, the two of them also paid attention to the development of the situation over there.
After the shopkeeper respectfully invited the servants into the teahouse and sat down, he immediately presented the purse full of loose silver with a flattering smile.
The purse was swollen with broken silver, and as soon as the chief officer took it, he immediately showed a smiling face.
When the shopkeeper saw that his face turned from gloomy to clear, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Under the perfunctory questioning of the officer at the head, the shopkeeper gave a rough account of what had just happened.
When he heard the shopkeeper say, "There are no dead people, and all the injured have been sent to the hospital," a trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the officer at the head.
The shopkeeper saw it clearly, and couldn't help but secretly say "it's dangerous" in his heart.
If it weren't for the three strange guests, they would have been stripped of a few layers of skin if they didn't die this time.
He gave the bookkeeper a look, and the bookkeeper understood, and immediately moved the money box from the counter to the large table where the servants were seated.
"It's up to you to catch the culprit. The shopkeeper pointed to the money box and said to the servants, "This is all the cash in our teahouse, and I will give it to the officials to buy jar wine to drink." ”
