Chapter 30 The county shows hostility for no reason
As soon as the few people were busy, it was afternoon, Lin Mo sat on the bench in the restaurant and thought about tomorrow's banquet, and thought carefully about what he should prepare to confirm if there was anything missing. At this time, a shadow appeared at the door.
Zhao En smiled at a glance:
"It turned out to be Miss Xin'er, why did you have time to come here? Oh, it's your brother Mo. ”
When Lin Xin'er heard this, her little face turned red, and she walked quickly to Lin Mo's side. Only then did Lin Mo notice Liu Xin'er,
asked, "Xin'er came out to buy things again today?"
Xin'er shook her head,
"I'm here today to see what Brother Mo is preparing for tomorrow?"
"Oh? How did you know it was going to open tomorrow? ”
Xin'er said proudly: "This morning, the county commander sent someone to invite my lord to attend this banquet, and the lord is also very concerned about how you prepared this time?" I was specially ordered to take a look. ”
Lin Mo was a little shocked when he heard this, the county order would send someone to invite the horseman, and a county order went to specifically notify the horseman, it seemed that the weight of the horseman was even greater than he imagined.
Since the horse crew has been invited, then presumably other wealthy merchants and gentry should also know.
It seems that this banquet must be quite large.
"Will the horsemen come out?"
"The master has been unwell for the past few days, and the eldest young master will come over tomorrow."
"Big young master? Ma Gongzi?"
Lin Mo nodded, "I only heard his name but I didn't see him, but this time I finally had a chance to meet." ”
"The eldest young master is very good, and he is very kind to our subordinates."
Liu Xin'er said seriously. Lin Mo led Liu Xin'er around, but didn't let Liu Xin'er into the kitchen, Liu Xin'er looked curious, and Lin Mo sold it and told Liu Xin'er to remember to come over tomorrow.
Before leaving, Liu Xin'er told Ma Ruoya's words and asked Lin Mo not to get too close to the county order and county, and it was best not to be in the limelight tomorrow, and then left.
Lin Mo recalled what Liu Xin'er said, a little puzzled but seemed to understand something.
After finishing their work, Lin Mo and the others went back to rest, Lin Mo tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, thinking about what would happen tomorrow, and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, Lin Mo and the others came to the restaurant early in the morning to get up, and Zhao En went to buy some fresh ingredients.
After a while, several gorgeously dressed middle-aged men walked into the restaurant, and Lin Mo hurriedly greeted him and said:
"What are you doing?"
Several people frowned when they saw Lin Mo, and a man said:
"Man, please call the shopkeeper, we have something to look for him."
As soon as Lin Mo heard this, he knew that these people should have come to the banquet.
"Unfortunately, the shopkeeper just went out, but he came back soon."
Lin Mo was right, after all, the current shopkeeper is Zhao En, and with the help of today's banquet, Zhao En can be pushed to the front of the stage.
"If you have anything to tell me, I can still call the shots in general."
Several people looked at Lin Mo and made eye contact, and finally spoke
"This little brother, we are some businessmen in Qiannan, I heard that this restaurant is going to open today, I came to congratulate me, hoping to communicate with the shopkeeper."
With that, a few subordinates walked in with a few boxes of congratulatory gifts. Lin Mo completely understood what it meant at a glance, so he said with a smile:
"It's a coincidence that a few people came today, and the county magistrate will also come today, why don't you stay here and have a drink with the county magistrate?"
"I'm afraid that's not right...... Wouldn't it be abrupt for me to wait here? ”
"A few people stay here just right, the county order came to enjoy with the people under his rule, a few as the businessmen of the south of the country, has always been in the exchange of what is not, the convenience of the people have contributed a lot, but also with the county order to communicate a lot for the development of the south of the advice. In addition, our shopkeeper also wants to communicate with you more and learn from your business experience. ”
"In that case, we might as well be respectful."
Lin Mo led a few people upstairs and made tea in the private room, Lin Mo knew that there were far more than these people coming today, so he asked Wu Shun and Zhou Fu to hurry up and prepare.
Sure enough, after a while, there were no less than a dozen wealthy businessmen and gentry, but fortunately, Lin Mo had already prepared and prepared more than one table of wine and food, which was definitely enough.
Zhao En also came back, Lin Mo asked him to go and talk to these people, they all came for the county order, and they didn't care much about Zhao En, the shopkeeper, just a few simple polite words.
Looking at these people who had already arrived, Lin Mo just smiled and didn't care too much, after all, the real guests were all finale, and these were just small shrimps.
Soon a plainly dressed man walked in, Lin Mo thought it was an ordinary diner, so he stepped forward.
When the visitor saw Lin Mo, his eyes were a little gloomy,
"Is the guest here for dinner? The restaurant opened today, with a full range of dishes and all half price. What would you like to eat? ”
Wu Shun hurriedly brought the menu to lead the visitor to the table.
"No need, I'm here to attend the banquet of the prefectural magistrate."
"Yo, Lord County Cheng is also here today, I don't like these banquets, but I can come over today, which is really surprising to me."
A man who looked like a wealthy merchant gentleman came in from outside the door and smiled at the man. Only then did Lin Mo know that the person who came was the second-in-command of Qian Nan, the county lord. The county met the rich businessman:
"I didn't expect Lu Yuanwai to come here today."
"Haha, it's not the blessing of the county order of Tuozhou County, the county order is going to invite others here today, I came over to see the excitement, of course, it would be better if I could drink a glass of wine."
Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly led the two upstairs, Lin Mo always felt a little chill behind him when he walked in front, as if a wolf was staring at him behind his back and wanted to eat himself in one bite. The two of them came to the private room, and the rest of the people hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and Lin Mo was able to get out.
At this time, Zhou Xiancheng suddenly stopped Lin Mo and said
"This official has heard that the county order is here because a teenager helped solve an unsolved case, so he held a banquet here, presumably that person is you! This time, the official also stained your light to be able to drink and talk with the county commander and you. ”
Lin Mo was stunned, he really didn't expect that this Zhou Xiancheng would stop himself from picking things out so directly.
Lin Mo smiled humbly:
"The county lord has an overreputation, and he just said his doubts, and the county ordered the lord to make a clear judgment and ordered Zhao Zhutou to investigate the case again, which solved the case. It's just a few ideas, and everything is in the hands of the county order and the county lord. ”
"Heh, according to what you say, the official still has merit in this case, and the official has to thank you."
When Lin Mo heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his body, this county Cheng can be described as a sentence of punishment, he is not a human being inside and out, this naked hostility makes him a little overwhelmed, he really doesn't remember when he offended the county Cheng.
Zhao En was also shocked by the words of the county Cheng, and just wanted to excuse Lin Mo, a hearty laugh came
"What the county lord said is outside, Qinan County is under the rule of the county order and the county Cheng, Lin Mo, as the people under his rule, help the county lord solve the case, and maintaining the order of the county is what Lin Mo should do as the people under his rule, and the county lord will see the outside when he says so."
A man in a white robe, with a graceful demeanor and a stellar eyebrow, walked in, followed by Liu Xin'er and Ma Ruoya.
When the people saw this man, they threw up their hands and cried out:
"Young Master Ma, Second Miss."
The person who came was Ma Ruoya's brother Ma Ruowen. Ma Ruowen arched his hand, "I have seen the county lord, I have seen you, my father is unwell and a few people can't come, I came to the banquet with my sister for my father, I can't drink anymore, and I ask you to be merciful." ”
After speaking, everyone laughed, and Lin Mo secretly rejoiced and thanked Ma Ruowen for helping him out of the siege. Since the prefectural order had not yet arrived, everyone had to sit in the house and wait for the prefectural order.
Ma Ruoya took Liu Xin'er to give you a blessing and quit the house, after all, there is a room of men, and it is really inappropriate for Ma Ruoya, a weak woman, to stay in the house. Zhao En accompanied these people in the private room, Lin Mo led the two to another private room, and Ma Ruoyan glanced at Lin Mo
"You really have the ability, the whole Qiannan has a head and a face, and this time your restaurant's reputation will definitely be famous in Qiannan. But you're so bold, if these people don't handle it well, you can be ruined, especially the county ......."
Ma Ruoya's voice gradually became smaller as she spoke, and finally made a silent gesture and stopped talking. Lin Mo nodded, signaling that he had understood, and then exited the room and went to the door to wait for the county order.
What Ma Ruoya said, Lin Mo actually understood it for a long time, but Lin Mo didn't expect it to be so thrilling, these people are all eating people and not spitting out bones, especially the county Cheng, deliberately targeting themselves, he really doesn't know when he offended the county Cheng.
Just as Lin Mo was thinking, a carriage slowly came towards Lin Mo, and a strong man next to him followed, the strong man was Zhao Zhutou, and the person sitting in the car must be the county order.
When Lin Mo saw Zhao Zhutou, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Zhao Zhutou saw Lin Mo coming, and said: "Lin Mo is embarrassed, there is something to delay, by the way, Lord County, are they here?" ”
"It's all here, the business of the adults is the most important, the county lord has arrived, I will lead the way in front." Zhao Zhutou nodded and patted the car window
"Your Excellency has arrived."
It took a few more shots in quick succession before there was an echo.
A confused voice remembered
"Oh, it's here, I'll come down now."
Then Zhao Zhutou lifted the curtains, and a slightly obese figure poked out of the car.
The county magistrate rubbed his eyes, and his sleepy-eyed face showed that the magistrate should have been sleeping just now. Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward to hold the county commander's hand and helped him out of the car.
"I can't imagine that the county commander is so hard that he doesn't even have time to rest, the adults must take care of their health, and the people of Chennan have to worry a lot about it."
The county commander blushed and said with a smile:
"Well, this official must pay attention in the future, by the way, Lin Mo has to thank you for solving the case this time, otherwise if the official is wrong, it will be a big unjust case."
"The adults are here, if it weren't for the fact that the adults clearly judged that the case was strange, how could they investigate the case again, how could they catch the real murderer, all of this is in the hands of the adults, and I have to thank the adults for redressing the grievances of Liu Wang's family and clearing the grievances for Liu Kui." Lin Mo laughed.
After hearing this, the county magistrate stroked his beard with satisfaction, and went to the private room under the leadership of Lin Mo.
