Chao Gai made preparations to prevent Dong Ping from hurting people.

Who knew that the woman didn't intend to end there, and then scolded Dong Ping: "You spend all day tasting bamboo tunes, chanting poems and painting, but you can't do a good job." Every day I boasted to my father that there was nothing to do under the rule of Dongping Mansion, and my four palanquin men were killed, if it weren't for these strong men, even I was captured by the bandits. ”

"Wan'er, is what you said true?" Dong Ping asked.

Wan'er ignored her, but the injuries of the four guards around him showed that it was all true.

Li Kui asked: "Mr. Wu, what is the meaning of pinting bamboo strings and chanting poems and paintings?" I don't understand. ”

Wu replied to him with disdain and said, "Hua Lei, you tell him." ”

Hua Lei said: "It's just that I don't do anything when I'm idle, play some musical instruments, write a few poems, and draw a few pictures." ”

Hua Lei's voice was not loud, and it happened to be heard by Dong Ping, Dong Ping glared at Chao Gai viciously, and Chao Gai ignored him, and it was not itchy if there were many lice.

Dong Ping calmed down, rode over and said to the woman: "Wan'er, I'll arrange a horse for you and send you back to the house, so as not to worry Cheng Taishou." ”

This woman turned out to be Cheng Taishou's daughter, Cheng Wan.

Who knew that Cheng Wan didn't appreciate it at all, and said coldly: "I hope that you can't catch up with the heat when you collect the corpse, I will let these strong men send me back." ”

Cheng Wan turned to Chao Gai and said, "Thank you for saving your life, and I hope that all the good people will do it to the end and send us back to the city." ”

Wu Yong kept giving Chao Gai a look, signaling Chao Gai not to mix, but he was already hated by Dong Ping.

"I'm not busy here, I'm happy to send Miss home, but I'm afraid that someone won't be happy." Chao Gai also deliberately looked at Dong Ping.

Cheng Wan said: "My father is the Taishou of Dongping Mansion, don't worry about him." You saved me, and my father will definitely give you a bigger official than him. ”

Chao Gai smiled secretly, this little girl is really funny, the officials of the imperial court are so easy to seal, and the soldiers and horses are in charge of two or three thousand soldiers, and she is absolutely powerful.

"Okay, I'll send you back to the city." Chao Gai said.

Chao Gai hired a carriage in the carriage of business such as the gate of the Taoist temple in Dong Ping's murderous gaze, a soft carriage with a shed, and arranged for Cheng Wan to get on the carriage to protect her back to the city.

Dong Ping is helpless, he still has a lot of things, there is a big case in broad daylight, and he is to blame for this place, especially the thief wants to rob the daughter of the Taishou, fortunately, nothing happened, once Cheng Wan is robbed, he will be the head of the prison.

Chao Gai and the others followed slowly and leisurely. It was not far from this place to the city, ten miles away, and it didn't take long to arrive, and I was encountering a large group of men and horses, a large group of elite officers and soldiers wearing helmets and armor, and a sedan chair in the middle.

Chao Gai and the others stopped and said to Cheng Wan: "Your father is here, our task is complete." ”

Cheng Wan was frightened by this, but she was still calm, but now she couldn't hold it anymore when she saw her relatives, so she let the carriage quickly lean over and hugged her father and cried. Cheng Taishou comforted a few words and asked about the situation.

Wu Yong said: "Go back to the inn, everyone is gone, still look." ”

"Back to the inn, I don't know if Ruan Xiaoqi and the others have arrived. Hua Lei, you hurry back first, and if they don't go ashore, let them arrange a large group of men and horses to wait in the boat. Chao Gai said.

Hua Lei took the order and left, Chao Gai and the others also turned around and left, and not long after they were caught up by a person who looked like a housekeeper, stopped Chao Gai and said, "Strong man, go slowly." "It's humane.

"What's the matter?" Chao Gai asked.

"I'm the housekeeper of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Hong, take a step to speak." As he spoke, he brought Chao Gai to the side of the road outside the city gate.

"Hello Steward Cheng." Chao Gai was neither humble nor arrogant, Wu was silent with a smile, Li Kui looked contemptuous, and the five guards were expressionless. This made Steward Cheng a little surprised, you must know that although the butler of Taishou has no quality and no level, but even if it is a county order, he has to stammer desperately, but the butler of the process is the same as Cheng Wanli Taishou, they don't like that kind of servile and flattering person.

"Just now, my young lady has already said that you and you have saved your lives, and I heard that the young lady said that you seem to be still an official, and you are a training envoy of the Yuncheng regiment. My family said, you have good skills and are helpful, if you are willing, you can come to my Dongping Mansion, and it is completely okay to arrange a capital for you, and there is also a hundred taels of gold as a gift. Steward Cheng said.

Chao Gai said with a smile: "It is the traditional virtue of my Chinese nation to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven. Since he met someone Chao, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by, let alone gold, so let Cheng Taishou care more about the people under his rule. ”

Steward Cheng has never seen someone talking like this, it is completely unexpected, don't look at these heroes one by one, if you really give him an official position, you can't bow your head immediately.

Chao Gai said: "If Steward Cheng doesn't have anything else, we'll leave first, and there are friends waiting." ”

"Which inn do you stay in?" Steward Cheng asked.

"The End of the World Inn near the docks." Chao Gai took people away after speaking, without a trace of nostalgia.

Li Kui muttered: "Brother is so stupid, how much wine and meat can be bought for a hundred taels of gold." ”

"Forgot what taught you? What should be done, even if you don't take a penny, you can't do it, and what you shouldn't do even if you are given a mountain of gold. When we encounter robbers robbing women, we should not help. Chao Gai said.

"Yes, I hate this kind of person the most." Li Kui replied.

"That's it, it was supposed to be a good deed, what did you do with their money, hurry back to the inn." Chao Gai said.

Next to him, Wu said with a smile: "This is called putting a long line to catch a big fish, if you accept him this hundred taels, I'm afraid it will be difficult to intersect, don't accept it, but it will be better to keep in touch." ”

Li Kui shook his head and said he didn't understand, but foodies also have the happiness of foodies, so he bought a few big buns from the stall and ate them while walking.

In the guest room of Tianya Inn, Hua Lei and Ruan Xiaoqi were waiting early.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Brother, something happened." ”

"Today, I beat three thieves who robbed the people's girls, killed two, caught one, and the little minions ran away a lot. I don't know if there is a bigger force behind them. Chao Gai said.

Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "When you are a thief, you have to be moral, and you should kill the people who rob them." ”

Wu Yong said: "I haven't heard of any big bandits around here, I should be passing by." I offended Dong Ping today, and I need to be strictly guarded at night to prevent the road. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Dong Ping is a powerful character, I am not his opponent on the shore, I will let him ten in the water." ”

"Xiao Qi returned to the ship, the three of you took turns to keep vigil, and all the guards were also on alert. Let's stay here and see if this Dong Ping has any tricks. Chao Gai said.

At night, the guards did not take off their shoes when they slept, the knives and guns were under the pillows, and the sentry on duty arranged three lanes. But there was nothing to do all night, and Dong Ping didn't do anything.

Originally, Dong Ping suffered a loss during the day, and his beloved woman Cheng Wan still had a little meaning to Chao Gai, which made Dong Ping very unhappy, and originally planned to bring two hundred soldiers over after nightfall, destroy Chao Gai and others, and throw them into the lake.

Taishou Mansion, lobby, Cheng Wanmile is too guarded to sink like water, Tong Ju, Kong Mu, Zhu Si and others have just withdrawn, it is obvious that Cheng Taishou has just finished trying the case.

"Your Excellency." Dong Ping saluted respectfully.

"Sit down, I'm tired after a busy day." Cheng Wanli said, followed by Cheng Wanli to write, he didn't pay attention to Dong Ping for a long time, Dong Ping was like sitting on pins and needles, if Cheng Wanli came in and scolded him, it means that the problem is not big, and it is dangerous to hang him.

After a while, Cheng Wanli said: "There were two cases today, and they were committed by a group of bandits. In the morning, the group wanted to rob Hu Sanniang and her maid in Hujiazhuang, but they were just rescued by Chao Gai and others who were passing by, and the bandit leader was also cut off by Hu Sanniang's arm. I don't need to talk about the afternoon. ”

Dong Ping pondered: "My Dongping Mansion has always been safe and sound, where did the thieves come from, and these two robberies have one thing in common, that is, Chao Gai was present." ”

Cheng Taishou was a little dissatisfied: "You don't have to bother with solving the case, this official will check it." This patrol prevention, exterminate the bandits, your task is still very heavy. Don't forget the robbery of the Yuncheng County Order in Dongping Mansion some time ago. ”

"But the bandits are in Qingfeng Mountain, Qingzhou Mansion." Dong Pingdao.

"Qingzhou Mansion said that the case was done in our Dongping Mansion, and asked our Dongping Mansion to send troops." Cheng Wanli said.

Dong Ping secretly said that he was unlucky, this dog's day Qingfeng Mountain, there is nothing to do in Dongping Mansion, it is really underrepaired.

Cheng Taishou carefully taught Dong Ping that he usually practiced more soldiers, and did not waste all his time on Pinzhu tuning.

The next day, Cheng Taishou summoned Chao Gai to the lobby to testify, and asked for a confession, just met Hu Sanniang and Hu Cheng, the yamen was inconvenient to say hello, just looked at each other and smiled, after leaving the yamen, Hu Cheng said: "Chao Tuanlian, yesterday said that I would invite you to have a meal, it is better to meet by chance, it is time to have lunch, find a restaurant to eat." ”

"Okay, it's up to you, I'm not familiar with Dongping Mansion." Chao Gai said.

Today, there are only four people in Chao Gai's party, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Hua Lei, and Li Kui. There are a lot of people over there, more than a dozen people. Hu Cheng is very familiar with the roads in the city and has found the best restaurant in the city. Hu Cheng, Hu Sanniang brothers and sisters as accompaniment, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Hua Lei, and Li Kui ate together, and Hu Cheng's entourage arranged another table.

The big hotel in Fucheng is naturally not comparable to the country hotel, the huge round table with a turntable, Hu Cheng directly ordered the best. There are basically no common things for chicken, duck and fish, and the specialties are venison, grouse, osmanthus fish, color, flavor, and flavor, and they are very exquisite.

Chao Gai said: "Brother Hu Cheng, this is too expensive, this table of dishes will have to be twenty or thirty times." ”

"Yesterday's heroes, saving the housesister and the four maids, this great kindness cannot be expressed by a meal. This is the first time to entertain you, so naturally we have to be grand, and next time everything will be simple. "Hu Chengdao.

Hu Sanniang smiled: "If you don't eat again, the food will be cold." ”

Everyone drank happily, although Hu Sanniang was a woman, she was generous and decent. Hu Cheng has been in business all the year round and has a unique vision, so he naturally knows that these four people are not idle people, and he can't help but persuade them to drink.

Li Kui asked, "Is the injury of that big black girl healed yesterday?" ”

Hu Sanniang said: "Do you mean the girl who uses double knives?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's her."

"She's thick-skinned and thick-skinned, she's good morning."
