Chapter 152: Come Back
Outside Guangde City, everything is recovering, and there is a thriving atmosphere.
An official road extends from a distance, connecting with the south gate of the city, and a tea shop is located next to the official road.
There is a business in opening a teahouse in the city, and the business will not be bad on the official road outside the city, especially in this northwest place with little water.
Merchants and travelers come and go, after walking to the tea shop, they will rest their feet, drink a pot of tea to relieve their fatigue, and then pack up into the city.
Today, as usual, business in the tea shop is still not bad, and there are three of the six tables, which makes the old king very happy.
It basically doesn't cost anything to open a shop in this place, because there is no need for even a basic faΓ§ade, and Lao Wangtou just built a shed here.
The guests drank tea and chatted in a low voice, while the old king stood by and was ready to refill the guests.
"Lao Li, why are you sullen all the time?"
"Alas, my wife is seriously ill, and she has not improved even after drinking this heavenly medicine......"
"This man! You can have anything, but you are afraid of getting sick, even the big officials in Luyang City are as unpredictable as life and death when they are sick, not to mention us ordinary people! β
In the tea shop, everyone was chatting quietly, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which wiped out the peace of this place.
The tea drinkers in the shop swept their eyes to the distance of the official road, and then the black pressure in the distance pressed a figure galloped towards them.
"It's Jinyiwei......" one guest exclaimed.
After the old Wang Tou glanced at the distance, he muttered: "A large number of brocade guards have only passed in the morning, why are there so many now, is there something big going on in the city?" β
Just when everyone was thinking differently, Chen Xiaoting and his lieutenants were less than fifty meters away from the tea shop.
"The brothers are tired from the morning journey, so stop at the tea shop in front of them to rest, eat and drink before they go on the road!" Chen Xiaoting took the lead.
"Okay......"
"Oh Ho ......"
Boom, boom, horses' hooves made a big splash outside the tea shop, and after listening to the shout of "huh", dozens of horses stopped outside the tea house.
With so many brocade guards staying outside, the merchants in the shop were so nervous, but the old king had to be calmer.
I saw him trembling out of the tea shop, and said to the little flag officer headed by him: "My lord has worked hard all the way, and there is tea in the small shop, just to relieve your lack of fatigue!" β
has opened a shop here for so many years, and the old king has to receive Jinyiwei several times a month, so he is bolder than others.
"Brothers, dismount ......," Chen Xiaoting said on horseback.
It was only after he gave the order that the lieutenants dismounted, and then tied the reins to the tree outside the tea shop.
At this time, the old king went into the tea shop and asked the merchants inside to leave by themselves, so as not to get into trouble for himself.
Chen Xiaoting jumped off the horse, and the reins were picked up by Zhang Ertie, and then he walked to the tea shop.
At this time, the merchants inside had all left, and all the lieutenants and servants were waiting for Chen Xiaoting to come in.
Chen Xiaoting came to Zhao Ying's table and sat down at a table before saying to everyone: "Sit down!" β
Don't look at Chen Xiaoting's easy-going and generous subordinates, but the rules set are also very strict, even if Zhao Ying is a close confidant, he has to stand honestly without Chen Xiaoting to speak.
After everyone was seated, Lao Wang Tou carried a few teapots and distributed them to each table, and he himself personally filled Chen Xiaoting with tea.
After so many years of operation, the old Wang Tou still has a good eye, and after the tea is full, he hides aside and begins to prepare his own refreshments.
"My lord, why don't you punish the person sitting in the hall in Dongxiang, this bastard let us run for nothing!" Zhao Ying said after taking a sip of tea.
Chen Xiaoting was also tired all the way, and after taking a sip of tea slowly, he said: "He is also doing his duty, and he should naturally report if he finds the traces of the White Lotus Sect!" β
The word White Lotus Sect has not appeared in the Jinyi Satellite TV line for a long time since it was cracked down last year.
However, five days ago, the captain of Dongxiang County came to report that he had found traces of the activities of the White Lotus Sect in the villages and towns around Dongxiang County.
The young people of the hundred yamen are Chen Xiaoting and Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng is now thinking about it behind closed doors, so he can only be led by Chen Xiaoting.
Although no one was caught in Dongxiang, Chen Xiaoting still believed in Captain Dongxiang's report that the White Lotus Sect would never be eradicated so easily.
Therefore, Chen Xiaoting did not punish that person, but these reasons are inconvenient to say to Zhao Ying and others, wouldn't it be a denial of the merit of the hundred households Yamen to eliminate the White Lotus Sect years ago?
On the side, he heard Wu Jun say: "My lord, do you dare to go against us when you say that the surname Zhang has gone through?" β
Chen Xiaoting smiled and said, "I don't think about it, if I don't obey him, I really can't keep his official hat!" β
When they heard this, they all laughed, for this victory was won by all.
"Okay, although I'm tired this trip, didn't the Dongxiang County Ya gang also treat you well?" Chen Xiaoting said slowly.
Chen Xiaoting led the team with a dignified small flag officer, and after going to Dongxiang, he naturally alarmed the people in the county government.
Although Zhou Haiping, the magistrate of the county, did not come forward, he was led by the county chief secretary and others, and they were invited to a banquet in the largest restaurant in the county.
I have to say that although Dongxiang County is not as good as Fucheng, it is no worse than Fucheng in terms of eating and drinking.
Thinking of the usually arrogant and cold officials, who touted them at the banquet, Chen Xiaoting felt a little funny.
In the entire Dongxiang County Ya, only Zhou Haiping, the county magistrate, still maintains a high level, which is worthy of being born as a two-list jinshi.
At this moment, I only heard Zhao Ying say: "My lord, you see...... There are beautiful ......."
Chen Xiaoting's eyes followed everyone and swept towards the road outside the tea shop, but he saw seven or eight girls carrying bamboo baskets and walking towards the city gate not far away.
In the spring and autumn, it was very difficult to get water in the city, so there was a situation where these women went out of the city to wash clothes.
Only those large families who have deep and large wells at home do not need to go out of the city to solve the water problem.
Chen Xiaoting only looked at the person, and his eyes were staring, because Xu Youhui was in it.
Just as everyone was about to make a provocative voice, they were scolded by Chen Xiaoting: "Shut up and drink tea!" β
Then I saw him stand up, and only shouted, "Youhui! β
In fact, there are so many brocade guards here in the tea shop, Xu Youhui has already found out that Chen Xiaoting is there, but he is just embarrassed to say hello.
was shouted by Chen Xiaoting, and Xu Youhui's sisters immediately began to tease her. made Xu Youhui very embarrassed.
What's more, there were so many people around Chen Xiaoting looking at her, Xu Youhui turned around and was about to turn back in the direction she was coming, causing the sisters who were traveling with her to chase after her.
At this time, I only heard Zhao Yingyao shouting: "My lord, this is my sister-in-law......
So everyone in the tea shop laughed, and Xu Youhui, who was running in the distance, walked faster.
After Chen Xiaoting glared at Zhao Ying behind him, he called Wei Yong and Lu Sanbao, who were sitting next to him, and ordered the two of them to quietly follow Xu Youhui.
In addition to playing a protective role, Chen Xiaoting also wanted to find out where Xu Youhui's family was, if he didn't want to return to the yamen as soon as possible to restore his life, he would follow him personally!
Seeing Chen Xiaoting's gossip, everyone present was happy, and the only one who was depressed was Zheng Ding, who was worried about his sister.
After drinking tea, Chen Xiaoting settled the account with the old king, and then quickly left with his subordinates and galloped away into the city.
