Sooner or later, it will come. The search that I had been worried about has finally arrived. I said to Wang Jinhuai, "Let's go. Let's go to the kitchen. Let my senior brother deal with it here."

The two of us came to the kitchen. Senior brother is stir-frying. Liu Lianjiang picks vegetables on the ground. The second senior brother didn't hear the sound of the 'door' outside because he was inside. Seeing me come in and asking, "Why did you get in?" Where are you waiting? I'll fry a few greens."

"Senior brother is here. We stir-fry in it. You go and deal with it."

The second brother handed me the shovel and said, "Don't go out. What to do. Mr. Wang went to wash the dishes. Don't be idle, everybody. I'm going to deal with it outside."

I took the spatula and went to fry the greens in the pan. Wang Jinhuai also went to the basin to brush the bowl and chopsticks. I listened to the movement outside while casually flipping through the dishes in the pot. If only it had been discovered. Then there's only one fight.

I heard the sound of the second senior brother opening the 'door'. Then came a familiar voice. I stopped the shovel and heard that it was Wang Qiang, the official of the Shuntian Mansion who came over in the afternoon. Martial law searches are generally carried out by the officers and soldiers in charge of this section. Either the officers and soldiers don't know which and which one's situation.

I only heard that Wang Qiang came in and asked the second senior brother: "Shopkeeper. Have you found anyone here? Now the government is arresting the traitors. Be honest if you have one. If you don't say I'll find out. That's the same crime as treason."

"My lord. I just took over this little shop today. What traitors are there. It's just a couple of guys helping me pack my things. Ready to open in a few days. When the time comes, please come over and cheer you on."

"Less nonsense. The brothers went in first to search. Shopkeeper, I know you're not in good health. I won't mess with you either. You called a couple of your guys over. Let's see if it has anything to do with the rebellion."

The officers and soldiers who followed Wang Qiang. Hula came in a dozen. There is one on the second floor. Two more came to the kitchen. A large officer shouted, "You several. All come out."

A few of us put down what we were doing. Driven by the two officers and soldiers, they came into the hall. Wang Qiang looked at a few of us in the hall. said to the second senior brother: "Shopkeeper. I don't know any of these people. It's all from there."

"Official. These are the guys I just hired. This is not what I just took over. Why should there be a few people close to me to help out?"

"The identities of several of them were reported. Now Shangguan asks. Be strict with strangers. Let's start by telling me your home address. When did you come to the capital?" Wang Qiang pointed at Wang Jinhuai and said.

"Official. I've been here for a long time. Stir-frying in the kitchen all the time. This is not the shopkeeper who left me behind. My hometown is from Jinan Prefecture. My name is Wang Jinhuai, and I'm 28 years old." Wang Jinhuai replied to Wang Qiang in Shandong dialect.

Wang Qiang looked at Wang Jinhuai and asked, "You have been here for a long time. No way. I'm familiar with this place. Uncle, I don't eat here less. To be honest, it's not a traitor."

"Official. I've been in the kitchen. The shopkeeper thinks I'm dirty. Say I haven't showered or washed my clothes for months. I'm afraid to come out and scare everyone away who eats. That's why I haven't been allowed to come out. Sir, you eat in a private room. Of course you won't see me." Wang Jinhuai is a scholar. That brain is very smart. It's more than enough to deal with a servant.

Wang Qiang saw that what Wang Jinhuai said was also reasonable. And look at him, it's so dirty. I didn't ask any more questions. Just say, "Your shopkeeper is right. You're just too dirty. I won't be coming to eat after that. There are chefs like you. That guest wants to come back. I suggest you fire him."

The second senior brother also replied kindly: "Okay. Good. Sir, you're right. I'll get rid of him tomorrow."

After Wang Qiang finished asking, Wang Jinhuai pointed to Liu Lianjiang and asked, "What about you. Also reported up. The shopkeeper you're looking for these people are fucking dirty. Can you let them wash their faces more in the future. Look at all the oily and black faces. Who dares to come?"

"Official. I'm from Cangzhou. My name is Liu San, I just arrived in the capital yesterday. The family has now finished harvesting their crops. So I went to Beijing to work. My mother said. Let me save some money so that I can marry a daughter-in-law, who is as old as me and has children. I haven't yet. So I'm in a hurry. Official. You have to have the right girl. Introduce me to one too. My mother said it. As long as there is no lack of heart. As long as you introduce me to one. I can give you money. I still have three coins of silver here that my mother gave me. Do you say that you met a good girl? Buy something for someone." Liu Lianjiang said in a rambling voice.

Wang Qiang scolded impatiently: "Shut up. Uncle, I'm not a matchmaker, I'm going to find you a girl. Just your three pennies. It's almost the same to go to the 'door' of Yihong Courtyard to smell it. Let's dream about the girl. While staying and going. You're the one in the robe." Wang Qiang didn't bother with Liu Lianjiang anymore. He pointed at me again and asked.

Because I met Wang Qiang in the afternoon. Wang Qiang also knows my accent. I replied in authentic Shandong: "Official. I am from Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong. Since childhood, he has been a monk in Yun'men Mountain. My name is Xuanyun. Last year, I came to Baiyunguan to study. This is my uncle. Heard about my uncle today. Plate a restaurant. I fainted. I just did it. Look at my uncle is fine. I'll just stay and help." I had no choice but to use the name of my nephew. If it were really them, they would not have a problem when they went to Baiyun Temple to investigate.

Sure enough. That Wang Qiang looked at me suspiciously and said, "You are a monk in Baiyun Temple. So far from here. How did it come in such a timely manner. You're in the Baiyun Temple. I'll send someone to inquire about it, uncle. You have brought me the truth. Is it a traitor." Wang Qiang started to scare me. Isn't that so easy to frighten?

"Sir, you can send someone to ask. The poor road is on the side of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. You can also ask my uncle."

Wang Qiang asked the second senior brother beside him: "Shopkeeper. This is really your nephew. Tell me the truth. If I can't find out, it's not. Then you are guilty of the same sin."

"The official is really my nephew. I went to see him as soon as I arrived in the capital. So he knows about me. I fainted this afternoon. There are also our fellow villagers outside. Look at me like this. Call this nephew of mine."

Wang Qiang still doesn't believe it. When you want to ask me again. Outside, there were several scolding voices from officers and soldiers: "What kind of person is so bold. It's martial law time. Don't move around. Hurry back. Otherwise, I'll take you to Suncheon."

Because the lights outside are dark, and they can't see who it is. But a familiar voice came: "Old man Li 'Chun' Fang. Aren't you allowed to come out? If even the old man is rebellious. Then our Ming Dynasty is not all rebellious. I'm going to the restaurant. Look at the shopkeeper's."

Wang Qiang here heard that Li 'Chun' Fang was coming. There's still the place to interrogate us. Hurry up to the 'door'. Said to the officers and soldiers: "A few big brothers. This is the Cabinet Lee-sama. The shopkeeper's illness in the afternoon. Master Li is here to take a look now. It's all my own people."

When those officers and soldiers heard that they were cabinet ministers. Hurriedly apologized and saluted: "I've seen Master Li. There are many offenses in official business. Please forgive me."

"It's fine. I also blame the old man. It shouldn't have come out at this time. It's just that I'm worried about the body of the real shopkeeper so come and see. WANG Qiang. Is the search done here? When you're done, go somewhere else. If it's not over, I'll wait here." Li 'Chun' Fang is a big-bellied person. How can you go to a few creeps to care?

Wang Qiang saw that Li 'Chun' Fang was here. Don't dwell on it here anymore. These servants are bullying the weak and fearing the hard. It's okay to deal with ordinary people. If you really run into a high-ranking official like Li 'Chun' Fang. That's pretending to be a grandson.

"Everybody's searched. Nothing was found. We'll go to the next one." Wang Qiang greeted the officers and soldiers who had completed the search. Out of the big 'door'.

After they're all gone. Li 'Chun' Fangcai stepped into the hall. The second senior brother hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him. Li Fu 'Chun' asked, "How is the shopkeeper's body feeling now?" There is no discomfort. In the afternoon, I left, and the housekeeper brought you 'medicine'. Don't forget to take the 'medicine'."

The second senior brother gave a deep salute again: "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. The little old man is already fine. Adults, please sit inside." Senior brother said. Gave Li 'Chun' Fang to the chair inside.

Li 'Chun' Fang was followed by the housekeeper in the afternoon. The butler carries a burden in his hand. Didn't sit down either. Standing on the edge of Li 'Chun' Fang.

"Shopkeeper's. Here's a little silver I've given you. The dog has broken your tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks a lot. a hundred taels of silver. I don't know if it's enough. If that's not enough, tell me. How much worse. I'll send you another one." After Li 'Chun' Fang finished speaking, he took the burden from the butler's hand and handed it to the second senior brother.

"Master Lee. It doesn't take so much. A dozen taels is enough. Master Li, you better take the rest back." The second senior brother looks at Li 'Chun' Fang so well. For such a thing. I came to see him when he was still under martial law. I'm embarrassed to ask for more money.

"Shopkeeper's. I know what you are going through. To do business, you have to deal with the government's errands. There are also these ruffians who are 'mixed' and 'mixed'. It's all my godson. The shopkeeper was frightened. If anything happens in the future. Just give me my name. Let's see who of them dares to find fault. If it really doesn't work. I'll go to the house to find Steward Sun."

Li 'Chun' Fang instructed the housekeeper beside him: "Remember. In the future, you have to take more care of the shopkeeper here. If the shopkeeper has something to do with you. Don't be embarrassed. If you can't do it, tell the old man."

The butler agreed. Didn't say anything. I know. In the future, this restaurant will be considered safe. There is the sentence Li 'Chun' Fang. Who would dare to make trouble. It is also Li 'Chun' Fang who is kind. If you run into those officials who are not virtuous. There's going to take care of you.

The second senior brother thanked Li 'Chun' Fang. He opened the baggage, took out a piece of silver, wrapped it again, and said, "Master Li. I'll do the trick with a little silver. You can take the rest back with you. I can't ask for more of your money."

Li Chun'fang stood up. didn't take the burden in the hands of the second senior brother: "The shopkeeper. I've got the money. I didn't think about taking it back. Now that you're in good health. The old man still has something to do. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, we are sending it off. Leave the hall. Walk out of the door. A few of us also followed the second senior brother all the way to send him outside the big 'gate'. Watching the figure of Li Fu 'Chun' and the housekeeper disappear into the night. before returning to the house.
