The end of a battle does not mean that the matter has been settled. Qing Shu didn't dare to be careless, so he unloaded the gorgeous carriage brought by Xiao Fu, pulled out the two horses of the cart, and then handed one to Zhang Da and the other to Wu Xiaoshan. Half of the hoarded beans were on the Zhuangzi and half were in the storehouses of the house. Since the other party is coming for the beans, then you have to guard against it.

Qingshu's arrangement is that Gu Qiang will sit in the mansion as usual, ensuring the safety of the family and protecting the property in the mansion.

Mr. Lu had to take the villagers from Xiaogujia Village to help Zhuangzi and instruct Wu to guard Zhuangzi.

Zhang Da's errand was to run between Zhuangzi and the shop on horseback, and let Qing Shu know about any trouble.

Wu Xiaoshan's errand was to run between the mansion and the shop on horseback, so that Qing Shu knew that the mansion was fine and that nothing was wrong.

The people brought by Ning Si, the fifteen people that Mr. Lu didn't know where to recruit, and Qingshu all stayed with him.

Qing Shu asked people to make a board bed and bedding in the cubicle of the shop, and arranged for Wei Tiezhu, who was seriously injured, and one of Ning Si's brothers to go in, and let them lie down and rest. There were also five guests with colors on their bodies, and Qingshu also let them lie down in the cubicle. In fact, the customer's injuries were not severe, but the person had an accident in her shop, and she had to be responsible to the end. The doctor had already shown them the injuries, and the ones that needed to be bandaged had already been bandaged, and Chen Huzi's daughter-in-law was busy boiling medicine one prescription at a time.

In the fight, which one is not injured, and the people involved are many of them with colors on their bodies. Qing Shu instructed someone to set up another cubicle for the doctor to sit in, and let the men take turns to go in and rub the medicine and wine for bruises.

When everyone took care of them and the kitchen began to cook everyone's meals, Qing Shu asked a few doctors to go over to check the pulse of the people in Xiaofu, bandaging those who needed to be bandaged, rubbing the medicinal wine if they needed to rub the medicinal wine, and those who urgently needed the medicine, let the doctor prescribe the prescription and boil the medicine. Gu Yuanhe was staring at this matter, and the accounts were clear and clear.

The kitchen meals are ready, all the big bowls are used, a large bowl of pork stewed sauerkraut is served for each person, and a meat bun is sandwiched on the vegetable bowl, so that everyone can serve it to themselves. Then a large pot of bud grain flour pancakes and a large pot of bean paste buns are put on the table, and whoever eats them will take it themselves. The bud grain noodle pancake in the flavor snack shop is different from others, the noodles are ground very finely, the skin is sieved out, and the pot is smeared with oil when it is baked, which is naturally delicious.

In the shop, a group of big men were standing or squatting on the ground holding bowls and burying their heads in eating, and some people muttered that this dish was sour and quite delicious. Ning Si bumped into the man, "Count your kid a blessing." Do you know how much silver your dish is worth? ”

The man did not lift his head to eat, but asked inarticulately, "How much is it worth?" ”

Ning Si took a bite of the bean paste bun, "In Yipinlou, just this bowl of dishes, one or two halves of silver." ”

The man shouted my mother, stupid.

When a person dressed in short clothes next to him heard this, he took the bowl of the stupid person very calmly, poured half a bowl of sauerkraut into his own bowl, and then put the empty bowl on the ground, and continued to eat. It turned out that this person was a knowledgeable person, he had never eaten before, but he had seen the master beat people to grab such a bowl of food. No way, his master is a foodie, and he will do anything in order to eat.

Waiting for the stupid one to react, he was angry, and then snatched half a bowl of sauerkraut from Ning Si's hand and ate it violently.

Ning Si kicked the man angrily, and reluctantly took the bud grain noodle pancake and ate it.

The smell of food wafted in the air, and Xiao Yuan, who was tied to a chair in the counter, tried hard not to let others find out that she was hungry, but it was a shame that her stomach was rumbling uncontrollably.

The people of Xiaofu tied in a bunch in front of the shop, smelling the aroma of food coming from the shop, were also hungry, and they were very uncomfortable.

Bai Xianfu felt that he was unlucky, he would be in office in half a year, he thought that he could be promoted to the county commander, but he didn't expect a catastrophe to fall from the sky, and there was such a thing in the middle, and his future was completely ruined. Last year, because the ancient mansion was not pursued, he finally kept his position, but he didn't expect that in the end, a little ancestor of the Xiao Mansion was killed halfway, and the ancient mansion was completely provoked.

Others may not know, but as the parent official of Kangxi Town, he naturally sees it clearly. Those who have dealings with the ancient mansion are either the sons of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, or the sons of the Buda General's Mansion, and none of them are easy to mess with. Don't say that this is from the capital, just say that their parents in the entire Huizhou Governor's Mansion, that is to let go of the words openly and secretly, and General Zhongwu is followed by his junior under the wing of Chen Yixun.

Now that the Xiao Mansion and the Ancient Mansion are facing each other, this matter must not be good. Bai Xianfu thought of the bleak future, his hair was about to turn gray, where was the appetite to eat.

The officials were hungry, and after seeing Bai Xianfu's face, they all closed their mouths and didn't mention the matter of hunger.

At this moment, the gong sounded.

Opposite the flavor snack shop, Bai Xianfu, who was slumped in an old chair, stood up excitedly, straightened his official hat, and shouted for the officials to stand up quickly.

After a while, the officials holding the "Quiet" card took the lead, and more than a dozen officials came to them with a sedan chair.

Bai Xianfu took his subordinates, bent his waist at ninety degrees and shouted to greet Lord Zhixian.

Xiao Zhixian got off the sedan chair and looked left and right, okay, the shops on the whole street were closed, the windows were on the boards, and only the flavored snacks that had happened were open. In front of the snack shop sat under the window of a crowd of men, men and women, tied together like a string of sugar gourds, all with blue noses and swollen faces. Several of them were visibly bloodstained on their clothes, and two had strips of white cloth tied around their shoulders.

The door of the shop was broken and half lay on the ground, and only one of the four windows of the shop was completely broken, and the others were either broken or hung like rags that could not be dropped.

Xiao Zhixian darkened his face and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" He didn't know exactly what was going on, Bai Xianfu 100,000 hurriedly sent someone to Dexian County to invite him, and only said that it was a big thing, a big thing, and a big thing that could only be broken by knowing the county master.

Xiao Zhixian didn't dare to slack off, so he took people to set off to Kangxi Town, and on the way, he saw the people gathered in twos and threes to discuss something mysteriously, and sent people to ask, but the people ran away when they saw the officials. Later, the official finally caught the two and asked, and the two said that something big had happened in Kangxi Town, and the whole town was fighting. After asking carefully, the people said that the flavor snack shop in the town had provoked the magnates, and the magnates led their troops into Kangxi Town, and the owner of the flavor snack shop led the whole town to fight with the magnates.

Xiao Zhixian half-believed and quickened his speed, and the closer he got to Kangxi Town, the more rumors there became. What is worthy of the young lady of the general's family who dares to fight and kill, what young lady of the general's family has three heads and six arms, what Xiao Mansion is not a thing, what is the young lady of the general's family who loses the family to eat meat for beggars......

When they entered the town, the people of the town saw that they were far away, and whispered and secretly pointed at them. Later, I don't know who shouted, "The official master of the Xiao family has come to bully people, everyone hurry up." ”

The officials didn't have time to scold, and the people actually ran away in a blink of an eye. So, they didn't see a single figure on the road to a large part of the road in front of the flavor snack shop, and whether it was a house or a shop along the road, they closed the door tightly, and there was no sound quietly.

He is a county magistrate, how could he have ever felt so aggrieved! At this time, the tone of Xiang Bai Xianfu's questioning naturally brought out a bit of anger.

Bai Xianfu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The county magistrate Rong Xiao's report." "Before noon, the guy from this flavor snack shop went to the yamen to cry out for grievances, saying that a young lady broke into the shop with a group of people, and the young lady couldn't help but order the shopkeeper to get out, and the shop and the cook belonged to her. The guy said that the front and back of the shop were blocked, and that he had climbed over the walls of other houses to escape. ”

Xiao Zhi frowned, because he suddenly felt that among the people who were tied up, there was a middle-aged man who was crooked on someone else, and he looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Bai Xianfu carefully observed Xiao Zhixian's expression, "As soon as I heard that it was okay, I rushed over with 100,000 servants." It's just, it's just ......"

Xiao Zhixian was unhappy in his heart, "It's just that what is just, if you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

Bai Xianfu swallowed his saliva, "The little one came to know that it was the master of the Xiao Mansion in Jinyang City." The villain was blocked outside, and the master of the Xiao Mansion did not let the small one in, let the small one go, and did not let the little one meddle. ”

Xiao Zhixian's face immediately changed, "What did you say?" At this time, he remembered, wasn't the person who looked familiar to him the steward of the Xiao Mansion in Jinyang City.

Bai Xianfu finished the matter in one breath with the mentality of dying early and surviving early, "The small one was blocked outside, and the master of the Xiao Mansion asked people to surround the shop, warning the small one not to approach, otherwise he would be polite to the small one." Later, Miss Gu, the owner of the shop, came, and asked Xiao Mansion to compensate for the losses in the shop and leave quickly. In this way, the two sides fought, and the villain persuaded him not to fight, but he couldn't persuade him, and he was hit several times. In the end, that's it. When he said that, his voice couldn't be smaller, and he pointed to the door, indicating that the final result was here, let Xiao Zhixian see it for himself.

Xiao Zhixian gritted his teeth and asked: "There are many masters in the Xiao Mansion, which one is it?" Where are the people? ”

Bai Xianfu cautiously replied: "It's the third miss of Xiao Mansion, who was caught by Miss Gu, inside." ”

Xiao Zhixian was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and waved his hand, "Come on, take it away, take away all these bastard things." The bastard thing he was referring to was naturally a Xiao Mansion man who had been tied up for a while.

"Wait." The woman's crisp and imposing voice came from inside the shop.

As soon as he heard this voice, Bai Xianfu's legs trembled, and he secretly screamed in his heart, thinking that this aunt and grandmother should not have any more trouble.

Xiao Zhixian had a dark face and shouted, "Who is so bold?" "I looked over.

Qing Shu walked out of the shop fearlessly and looked directly into Xiao Zhixian's eyes, "Dare to ask who this adult is?" ”

Bai Xianfu almost cried again, and rushed to introduce it, "Miss Gu, this is Lord Xiao of Dexian County." "Lord Xiao, this is the owner of this shop, the late Miss Gu, the daughter of the late General Zhongwu."

Qing Shu didn't salute either, standing straight, "It turned out to be a side branch of Lord Xiao of Honglu Temple, and Lord Xiao, the county lord who was related to the Xiao Mansion in Jinyang City." There is a loss of welcome, disrespect and disrespect. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhixian's brows furrowed. The long prefix before the three words "Lord Xiao" is very disliked by him.

The little woman advised Lord Xiao that if she didn't want to be notorious for protecting her relatives, she shouldn't meddle in this matter. Of course, it was not that the little woman doubted Lord Xiao's character, but that she had this persuasion considering that officialdom paid attention to avoiding suspicion, and there was no malice at all. Qing Shu said with a serious face.

"I didn't expect that you know a lot at a young age. Since you even understand this kind of truth, you should understand that gathering a crowd to make trouble will be punished and imprisoned. ”

"Lord Xiao is really good at laughing, and he can say black as white and white as black without blinking his eyes. Could it be that one day this girl is unhappy, she brings someone into your house, tells your wife and children to get out, and occupies your house, and you can still smile and say to this girl, 'Grab it, take it, grab it, take it'? ”

"You ......" Xiao Zhixian was angry.

"Look, you definitely can't, you will definitely bring someone to arrest this girl, and send this girl to prison. In this way, will anyone say that you gathered a crowd to make trouble and arrested you and sent you to prison? When did Daan have such a decree? Could it be that this girl is lonely and unheard? I don't know. ”

There was a servant who didn't have long eyes and scolded Qing Shu to shut up.

Qing Shu raised the gun and pointed it directly at the officer's nose, "This girl just had a little tinnitus, I didn't hear it clearly, please ask this poor master to say it again." "She will ignite the fire today, and she has already turned red, and she doesn't care if she hits one more.

Bai Xianfu shouted and his aunt rushed over, pushed away the servant, stretched out his finger with a flattering face, and pressed down the raised spear little by little, "Auntie, we have something to say, something to say, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

Qing Shu snorted coldly and took away the spear, "Don't think that there is a noble concubine in the family, you think how great you are, you dare to do the evil thing of robbing other people's shops in the blue sky and daylight, not only that, but you also beat innocent people, which is completely hateful." When today's son loves the people like a son, if you know these evil things that your Xiao family has done, what do you think? ”

At this time, Xiao Zhixian just had a wooden face and didn't speak.

Qing Shu changed his tone, "Lord Xiao, the little girl knows that you have a good reputation in the hearts of the local people, you are fair and honest, selfless and love the people like a son, and the people of the county love you very much." Although the little woman spoke a little rushed just now, she also agreed with the people's evaluation of you in her heart, and hoped to retain a good official like you for the benefit of the people. The little woman Gu Qingshu hereby implores, please avoid suspicion and do not meddle in this matter. ”

Xiao Zhixian still kept a wooden face and didn't speak.

Qing Shu said again: "I have already sent someone to Jinyang City. If you want to be private, let Lord Xiao Zhengjun come and talk to me in person. If you want to be an official, unless it is Governor Chen or Lord Yushi who comes forward, don't think about taking these people away. In a word, either let the responsible Xiao family talk about it, or stab this matter to the top.

Whether it is the prefect or the imperial history, as long as they are involved, this matter will be prepared and handed to the emperor's imperial case. Unless the emperor deliberately favors the Xiao family, otherwise, as long as the emperor saves a little careful thinking about cleaning up the Xiao family, the Xiao family will have no good fruit to eat.

Xiao Zhixian suddenly spoke, "Do you know the consequences of this incident? ”

"Thank you, Lord Xiao, for the point. However, Lord Xiao definitely doesn't know that even if I let Miss Xiao San go, your Xiao family will not be grateful, and in turn, you will hate me and oppose me everywhere. Since the Xiao family thinks so highly of me, if I blindly retreat and don't fight, then I will be so sorry for your Xiao family's ancestors and ancestors. Qing Shu's tone began to change again.

Xiao Zhixian snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, and got into the sedan chair.

Seeing this, Qing Shu turned around and entered the shop.

Bai Xianfu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately came back to his senses, stomped his foot, and sighed heavily. What did he invite Xiao Zhixian for? In order to throw this hot potato out. But look at it now, this hot potato is still here, and even Xiao Zhixian refuses to take over, how can this be good?

After a while, someone in the shop came out with a large pot of nest heads, put the basin on a broken board lying on the ground, took the nest heads, and stuffed them into the hands of those who were tied up one by one.

Because these people in Xiao Mansion were in a hurry, they only dealt with one bite of breakfast, entered the town, and went directly to the flavor snack shop. Now, it's not time, and everyone who is so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, where can they still think about taking care of their faces, and barely grasp the nest head with their tied hands to eat.

Seeing the food (although it was only the head of the nest), Bai Xianfu felt hungry, and when he looked back, his subordinates were staring at the head of the nest.

Xiao Zhixian is not much better here, Xiao Zhixian is fine, the sedan chair he sat in all the way is not very hungry. But the officials below are different, they have come all the way to the ground, and they have long been hungry.

When the person who distributed the nest head was about to enter the shop, he found that there were a lot of eyes staring at him, so he glanced back, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took the empty basin and ran into the shop.

After about two quarters of an hour, Ning Si came out with a steaming pot of nests, and stuffed the pot to a servant who followed Bai Xianfu, "The owner said, if everyone doesn't dislike it, eat two nests to cushion your stomach." "The things were delivered, the words were brought, and Ning Si went back to the shop.

More than half an hour later, seven knights led by a prince in a fancy costume rolled up smoke and dust, and galloped through Kangxi Town as if they had entered no man's land. In a short time, they arrived in front of the flavor snack shop, and almost bumped into the sedan chair and several officials in Xiao Zhixian.

The man in the costume who rushed over pulled the reins, made the horse turn around, and led his men back to the front of the shop. He glared at the officials angrily, "Things that don't have long eyes, dare to stand in the way of grandpa, it's boring!" As he spoke, the whip in his hand was raised, ready to whip the servants.

"Presumptuous, stop." Frightened, Xiao Zhixian, who had just gotten out of the sedan chair, saw the person coming clearly and shouted.

The young man in Huafu seemed to be jealous of Xiao Zhixian, so he actually stopped, but his face was not very good, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Zhixian was so angry that he pointed at the nose of the boy in Huafu and scolded, "Where did you learn the habits of this unlearned and unskilled gentleman?" You don't respect the elders, and when you see that the elders don't get off the horse to say hello, but you come and go, Benzhi County wants to ask Xiao Zhengjun, that's how he taught his son, ah? ”

The young man in the costume was very unhappy, "Don't you give a shame?" Who are you from this son? You are no one, you have been an official for fifteen years, and you have come to an end if you get a broken county. Look at your unproductive appearance, you are embarrassed to teach Ben Gongzi, you are also worthy? ”

Xiao Zhixian was so angry that his hands trembled, "Bastard, what a bastard, Xiao Zhengjun, Xiao Zhengjun, what's the use of your official position, even your son can't be disciplined well, let such a thing fish and meat town, you are ashamed of the ancestors of the Xiao family." ”

The young man in Huafu said impatiently: "Where do you fall in love, don't point fingers at the master, and don't get in the way of the master." Then he waved his hand, "Take out all the contents for you." "He doesn't look at those who are tied outside.

His men answered, dismounted, shook their whips and walked to the door of the shop.

At this time, the people in the shop came out and blocked their way.

Gu Yuanhe stood at the front, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

The boy in the costume sat on the back of the horse with a crooked body, sneered and said, "Miscellaneous fish, get out of the way, let your boss come out and kowtow to grandpa three times before talking." ”

Qing Shu walked out of the shop unhurriedly, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Zhengjun, Lord Xiao's second son, is it, I have really admired the name for a long time." ”

That's right, the prince in Huafu is none other than Xiao Yuan's second brother Xiao Yuan, a well-known gentleman in Jinyang City. As soon as he spoke outside the shop, Xiao Yuan made a fuss about letting Qing Shu let her go, and she wanted to go out to beat Xiao Yuan to take revenge.

Qing Shu tied Xiao Yuan's hands and pulled the person out.

Xiao Yuan saw Qing Shu, his eyes lit up, and his body crooked on the horseback immediately sat upright, and looked Qing Shu up and down with a smile, "Who is this young lady?" "He was a lustful man, and his eyes were straight when he saw a beautiful girl. At this time, he was only paying attention to Qingshu, how could he have time to pay attention to whether his sister was good or bad.

Without waiting for Qing Shu to speak, Xiao Yuan scolded, "Xiao Yuan, you guy with a perverted stomach full of bad water, don't save me quickly." ”

Xiao Yuan scolded back with an unhappy face, "Shut up, idiot." ”

Xiao Yuan screamed, "Xiao Yuan, you bastard, you can't die well, you actually use me, you wait, I will let my father beat you half to death, and then punish you for half a year's grounding." ”

Xiao Yuan immediately changed his face, "Dead girl, you are looking for death." Do you think you're still in the house? Do you think this is Jinyang City? Leaving Jinyang City, grandpa can clean you up as much as he wants, a fool who burns out his brain, he is buried there if he dies, who can find you? ”

Xiao Yuan shouted hysterically, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, I won't let you go, I'm going to kill you." ”

Qing Shu clenched his ears, wondering what was going on. These are brother and sister, obviously enemies.

Xiao Zhixian yelled, "Enough is enough for you, shut up." ”

Xiao Yuan cried, and called Xiao Zhixian uncle with an aggrieved face.

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Zhixian with a gloomy face, "If you can't get along with the master again, the master will abolish you first." ”

Xiao Zhixian strode forward, snatched the horsewhip from one of Xiao Yuan's entourage, and threw it at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was startled, only to hear a snap, and the whip was whipped on Xiao Yuan's shoulder. Xiao Yuan shouted and fell directly from the horse.

The retinue closest to him reacted quickly, moved his feet, and used him as a backrest, and the two fell to the ground together.

Xiao Zhixian stepped forward, raised his leg with a kick, and kicked Xiao Yuan, who fell on his entourage, to the side.

Qing Shu's eyes were straight, and he secretly said in his heart: It's a good fight.
