Chapter 418: Treat to dinner
It's a pity that Xiong Yan didn't bother to pay attention to Gongsun Jian, and when he saw Zhou Cheng walking over with a money bag, his face was happy, and he directly stepped forward and took the money bag in his hand.
Then he said to Lao Zhou: "You don't need to kneel, the money will be regarded as your apology." ”
Seeing Xiong Yan say this, Lao Zhou's face was happy, and at the same time, he was also puzzled in his heart, why did Xiong Yan, who didn't plan to let him go until he died just now, but now he let it go so easily?
Actually, what Lao Zhou didn't know was that the current Xiong Yan was bent on leaving here quickly.
Because Gongsun Jian's behavior of calling people just now frightened Xiong Yan, after all, his identity is not visible, if he is blocked by Gongsun Jian, a rich child, and when the time comes, check his identity, then the rest of his life will be over.
"A few brothers, let's meet again, the younger brother still has something to do today, so I won't accompany the brothers first." That Xiong Yan was also very polite to say goodbye to a few brothers who only met today.
Then he was ready to take the silver and leave this small Zhou restaurant.
It's a pity that as soon as he took a step on his side, Gongsun Jian roared here: "You stop for me!" ”
After all, the people from the criminal department have not yet arrived, so it is naturally impossible for Gongsun Jian to let him leave.
"Little doll, your grandfather and I are in a good mood today, don't bother with you, report your name, I'll be looking for you to settle accounts in a few days." After Xiong Yan stopped, he threatened Gongsun Jian.
Of course, his threat is not fake.
As long as he gets the name of Gongsun Jian, then the next time he comes to Linlang County, he can completely give up the money bag of Lao Zhou.
After all, looking at Gongsun Jian's appearance, the family is very rich, and eating his vote is enough for Xiong Yan to be chic for a while.
Gongsun Jian naturally couldn't tell his identity, so he directly said to him: "As long as you tell me who your eldest brother is, then I will tell you my name." ”
Gongsun Jian has always wanted to find out who the person behind this Xiong Yan is.
Xiong Yan over there was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then his eyes rolled around, and then he said with a smile: "My eldest brother is Gongsun Jian!" ”
"Ahh Gongsun Sword! ”
"It's Gongsun Jian, the head of the Criminal Division!"
As soon as Xiong Yan's words came out, everyone present was stunned.
They really didn't expect that this Xiong Yan's eldest brother would be Gongsun Jian, one of the four giants of Linlang County.
Suddenly, many people began to be a little glad that they didn't stand up to resist Xiong Yan just now.
Otherwise, if Xiong Yan told his eldest brother Gongsun Jian, then he would not be able to eat and leave.
It's just that unlike these people's happiness, Gongsun Jian laughed directly.
Originally, he thought that this Xiong Yan really had a backer, but when he heard the name he reported, Gongsun Jian realized that this Xiong Yan had been fooling people all along!
"What are you laughing at?" Xiong Yan frowned and asked Gongsun Jian viciously.
After all, Gongsun Jian's smile made him feel very uncomfortable.
"What am I laughing at?" With a cold snort, Gongsun Jian looked at Xiong Yan.
"Of course I'm laughing at you for being so bold and reckless, you dare to lie to people under my guise of being deceiving!"
"Your pretense?" Xiong Yan just had doubts in his heart, and then he pointed at Gongsun Jian with a shocked face and shouted, "You are Gongsun Jian!" ”
"Hmph, didn't you say I'm your big brother? How? You don't know me? With a cold snort, Gongsun Jian looked at Xiong Yan with a cold face.
"Impossible, how can you be Gongsun Jian!"
Xiong Yan muttered in disbelief.
After all, in his mind, the head of the Criminal Division has nearly thirty years from the title of the sixth grade, which looks like Gongsun Jian, who has just reached the age of a weak crown.
Especially as a powerful giant in Linlang County, Xiong Yan never thought that he would come to this small restaurant to eat.
As soon as Xiong Yan's words that Xiong Yan couldn't believe just came out, Lao Zhou explained.
"I heard that Gongsun Jian Gongsun seems to be only twenty-three this year, right?" Lao Zhou looked Gongsun Jian up and down, and then said, "I think, this is definitely Lord Gongsun." ”
"It can't be!" Xiong Yan still shouted unwillingly.
Listening to the footsteps outside, Gongsun Jian was overjoyed, and then snorted coldly at Xiong Yan, and said righteously: "Why is it impossible, this official will tell you, don't think of Linlang City today!" ”
"Yes, you don't want to come out of Linlang City." Zhou Cheng on the side also plucked up the courage to stand up, and then glanced at Gongsun Jian, and he shouted again: "If you dare to commit something under the rule of Lord Gongsun, I think you are impatient." ”
Hearing Zhou Cheng's words threatening Xiong Yan this time, Gongsun Jian glanced at him in some surprise.
After all, this kid was almost beaten just now, why did he dare to stand up again now.
But then Gongsun Jian thought that he had revealed his identity and had his own presence, and in the face of Xiong Yan, a person who pretended to be Gongsun Jian's younger brother, it was normal for Zhou Cheng to pluck up his courage again.
"Who said I can't get out of the city, as long as I arrest this Gongsun Jian, won't I be able to get out?" Xiong Yanyin over there said with a smile.
Immediately, a few dodges rushed over, trying to grab Gongsun Jian.
"Protect Gongsun!"
The other people who were originally just spectators, even including the few who had eaten with Xiong Yan just now, all stood in front of Gongsun Jian to resist Xiong Yan.
After all, they are not stupid, since they already know the identity of Gongsun Jian, then what should be shown must be performed.
Although it is very likely that Gongsun Jian will not give them any substantial returns, if it is rumored that he once helped Gongsun Jian relieve the siege, then it can be regarded as a good food in the entire Linlang County.
Needless to say, the officials naturally heard that they had helped Gongsun Jian, and they would definitely be very enthusiastic.
After all, Gongsun Jian's popularity in the hearts of the people is very high now, after all, the more than 100 popularity points that Gongsun Jian has been earning are not in vain.
In addition, Gongsun Jian usually handles cases quickly, never makes any mistakes, and does not implicate any innocent people, so many people are very supportive of Gongsun Jian.
On the other side, seeing so many people standing in front of Gongsun Jian to stop him, Xiong Yan opened his bow left and right, lifted one and threw it out, Xiong Yan's strength was much greater than that of ordinary people, plus he was a person who practiced martial arts.
The people in front of Gongsun Jian were naturally not his opponents, and in the blink of an eye, Gongsun Jian was empty in front of him.
Seeing that Xiong Yan was about to catch Gongsun Jian, everyone's mood became anxious.
It's just that unlike them, Gongsun Jian suddenly chuckled and shouted outside, "Someone, hurry up and arrest this person for me." ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Gongsun Jian's words fell, when Xiong Yan was puzzled, several people with strong martial arts suddenly appeared in the fast hunting suit, and when he didn't react, he instantly subdued Xiong Yan from left to right.
Compared with Xiong Yan, a person in the rivers and lakes, there are more people with strong martial arts in the government.
After all, it is necessary to work hard to go to the rivers and lakes, which is like a person who becomes an official, not only has a fortune every month, but also can display his own martial arts.
Even during the New Year's holidays, there will be some subsidy rewards.
And a yamen like the criminal department who goes out the most tasks every year, and the people who will be dazzled by various rewards will flash.
It is precisely because of this that the criminal department is a place that many people yearn for, and people with poor natural ability cannot enter.
And like these officials who subdued Xiong Yan, although they are not as high as Gu Qing's martial arts, they are very powerful compared to Xiong Yan.
"You are really Gongsun Jian!" Glancing at the servants who were pressing him left and right, Xiong Yan asked again in disbelief.
"Can this official still lie to you?" Gongsun Jian said with a smile.
immediately took the money bag that Zhou had given Xiong Yan just now from his hand, and returned it to Zhou Cheng.
"Thank you, Lord Gongsun." That Zhou Cheng said excitedly.
Although their family is in business and runs a restaurant, because the place is small and the environment is not very good, they only earn two taels of silver per month.
And these five taels of silver are equivalent to their profits for a few months, and now, seeing Gongsun Jian return the money, he immediately laughed excitedly.
Over there, seeing Gongsun Jian throwing the money to his son, Lao Zhou's heart moved, and he directly took the money bag from Zhou Cheng's hand, and then trotted to Gongsun Jian's side and put the money bag in his hand.
He said with a smile: "My lord, you can take this money back and invite these brothers to drink some wine." ”
Although Lao Zhou opened a restaurant and there was no shortage of wine and food, his intention to give money to Gongsun Jian was not just to invite these officials to drink and eat, his main purpose was to curry favor with Gongsun Jian.
In this regard, Gongsun Jian understood Lao Zhou's thoughts after thinking about it.
Therefore, he hurriedly returned the money bag with a smile, and when he saw that Lao Zhou was going to give it to him again, Gongsun Jian said with a straight face: "Shopkeeper Zhou, it is right for our criminal department to catch thieves, don't think that this official has any purpose." ”
Lao Zhou over there was stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly couldn't give the money to Gongsun Jian anymore.
I could only smile and say, "Lord Gongsun is really a blue sky!" With you in Linlang, we little people are really relieved. ”
"Shopkeeper Zhou has an overreputation, these are what we should do." Gongsun Jian hurriedly humbled a few times.
Then he ignored Lao Zhou, who still wanted to talk, and hurriedly thanked the people who were present who helped him just now: "Thank you for your help just now, if it weren't for you, my Gongsun Jian's little life would have been lost here." ”
After speaking, Gongsun Jian seriously saluted the people present.
"Lord Gongsun is polite, these are what we should do."
"That's right, Lord Gongsun, how many things have you helped us solve on weekdays, we just did a little bit of our best, but we don't deserve such a big gift from you."
In the face of Gongsun Jian's salute, the people present naturally did not dare to accept it, and hurriedly returned the salute one after another.
Glancing at Xiong Yan, who was pressing, Gongsun Jian didn't want to stay here anymore, so he directly waved his hand and led everyone back to the Criminal Division.
He had to let Xiong Yan shake everything out tonight, otherwise wouldn't he have been threatened with his life in vain just now?
Watching Gongsun Jian and his party leave, a few people who had come to eat with Xiong Yan just now quickly settled the account and left Xiao Zhou's restaurant, after all, they were also afraid that Gongsun Jian would pursue these good brothers of Xiong Yan.
But the problem is that they just met Xiong Yan today, and they don't even know if the name Xiong Yan is true or false!
How could it be Xiong Yan's good brother?
Therefore, they hurried away with trepidation.
At this time, Lao Zhou, who was in Xiao Zhou's restaurant, suddenly thought of something, and then quickly asked his son curiously: "Ah Cheng, did the Gongsun master come to handle the case or to eat just now?" ”
"Of course it's for dinner, if it weren't for the conflict between me and that bald man, I wouldn't know he was Gongsun yet?" Zhou Cheng said a little sullenly.
After all, if he had known that Gongsun Jian was here, he would definitely have mustered up the courage to perform well in front of Gongsun Jian just now.
"So that means that Gongsun hasn't eaten yet?" Suddenly, with a roll of his eyes, Lao Zhou thought of a key question in the class.
Immediately, he hurriedly said to Zhou Cheng: "Ah Cheng, you go to the criminal department and wait now, as long as Lord Gongsun comes out, you must pull him to our restaurant." ”
