The next day, not to mention how the people in the county town discussed, Ximen Qing went to the county early to learn about the county minister, carried the whistle stick, collapsed the waist knife, and brought Juan to serve by his side, and called Jiao Ting, Yusheng guard, the county minister was afraid that there would be many bandits and thieves on the road, and ordered two strong messengers to lead the horse to follow and serve.

was about to go out of the county gate, but saw Fu Ping there. "Why is Mr. Fu here?"

"You are going to Qinghe County, you have to pass the Daimyo Mansion left and right, I have a confidant and friend there, I haven't seen him for many years, this time I will walk with you, and I will also go to see him."

Ximenqing nodded, this time it was a tolerance tour anyway, there were not many more than him, and he had the intention to ask Fu Ping to become his mastermind in the future, so he would naturally not refuse because of this trivial matter at this time.

A group of people went out of the county seat, dozens of miles to the north, and arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River.

Because there are dozens of miles left and right, there is only one ferry, and there are dozens of wine shops, tea shops, and unloading warehouses near this riverside, and the crowd here is bustling, there are men who come and go to unload goods, there are merchants and guests who get off and off the boat, and there are slender men who pull the boat.

Fu Ping is the body of a literati in the end, and after walking all morning, his body is lacking, so Ximen Qing said: "There is a wine shop in front, let's go there to rest, and buy a bowl of wine to eat by the way, so as to warm up our bodies." ”

Everyone listened to it, especially the two officials who accompanied them, and they flattered them all the way, you must know that Ximenqing's great reputation and prestige are not something that the two of them can offend, especially when he is also followed by the two evil men of Ji Sheng and Jiao Ting, just by looking at his face, he knows that he is the one who kills without blinking.

It was noon, the small shop on the street was full of guests, found a few and did not see any leisure, walked a hundred steps forward, there was a tea house up and down three floors, the store also did wine shop trading, Ximen Qing saw that he was quite elegantly decorated, and said: "It's here." ”

There was a guy standing at the door of the tea house, leaning on the door, bored and looking at the street, seeing Ximen Qing walking here, he hurriedly put the cloth towel on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "How many officials are in a hurry?" And not busy, this point, the boat boss is resting, it is better to go to the small shop to eat a bowl of hot wine, with some meat, fruits and vegetables and then not late, if you want to live in the store, the small shop also has a good wing, clean and bright, not I boast, this Yellow River estuary, there is no second one. ”

Ximenqing said with a smile: "It's a clever guy, and his mouth will say, these few pieces of silver will reward you, and you will be greeted before and after." ”

The guy skillfully kicked the silver in his arms and said with a smile: "Okay, please be good." ”

Walking towards the store, Ximenqing asked again: "When will the passenger boat crossing the Yellow River leave, we have tolerances on us, and we can't delay it." ”

The man replied, "If you only cross the Yellow River, the boat will be there in a moment, and when you have eaten and drunk enough, go east, and I know the boss of the boat there, and I will pick a good one for you when the time comes." He glanced up at this guy and said with a smile: "That's hard work, if it's really good, I still have a reward." ”

When they arrived at the store, the lobby was already full, and the guys got the money, so they naturally greeted them politely, led them up to the second floor, and chose an Accord near the window to sit down. This second floor is not as noisy as the lobby, there are mostly wealthy businessmen and literati, but during the period, a big man sat upside down, and a Fang Tian painting halberd was placed beside him. When Ximen Qing saw that he was born majestic, he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"What are the officials going to eat?"

"If you have any good wine here, just come up, there is no shortage of wine, meat, fruits and vegetables, and if you have good wine, sift a few bowls and eat it."

"Don't tell you a few things, we just killed a buffalo here, and we got hundreds of catties of fat, if you like it, I'll cut a few catties." This cow is in the Great Song Dynasty, it is not something that can be killed, a bad one can be eaten in the yamen, this shop blatantly sells beef, it seems that the background is not small.

But this Ximenqing has nothing to do with it, since he sells it, let's have a few catties of wine.

The guy got the order, and after a while, he spread all the wine and meat, Ximenqing stopped the guy and asked in a low voice: "Man, who is that hero, do you recognize it?" Mo is not a military general of the imperial court? ”

The guy glanced at it and said with a smile: "Where is that guy a general, it's just a shabby who eats at the mouth of the Yellow River, and the officials don't need to pay attention to that guy." ”

Ximenqing nodded, and as soon as he ate a cup, he heard the big man shouting, "Man, settle the bill." ”

When the guy heard this, he didn't hurry to the table, and he didn't have anything good to say, and said: "A pot of turbid wine, twelve meat-stuffed steamed buns, Brother Guo has a total of forty-two Wen, are you keeping accounts or cashing out." ”

The man saw that what he said was neither yin nor yang, and he didn't pay attention to it, but said: "I have been paying credit in your store for the past few days, and this time you have forgotten it, and I will settle it for you as soon as possible." ”

When the guy heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled and said, "Brother Guo, is this a fortune?" Wait a minute, I'll get the books. ”

The man surnamed Guo waited for a while, and the guy turned around and came back and said, "Brother Guo, you have spent a total of 73 wen on us in the past few days. ”

When the man heard this, he stretched out his hand to touch the silver in his arms, but after this hand reached in, it was as if Mount Tai had suppressed it, and he could not pull it out again. The man's face changed a few times, and he complained in his heart: "When did I lose my money?" ”

Seeing his embarrassed face, the guy called out, "Brother Guo?" ”

The man stiffened his head and said, "Man, I'll give you the money next time." ”

The man's face fell, "Brother Guo, aren't you entertaining me." ”

"I took it with me when I went out, and I lost it on the road somehow, how can I say it's a pastime for you."

"The surname Guo, you owe it for a month, the shopkeeper takes care of you as a good man, and has never said you, I can't do it, just now you said you want to give, and now you don't give it, isn't it a pastime What is it? If you can't do it, you have to give it today to leave, otherwise you will go with me to see the official. ”

The two of them spoke loudly, and Ximenqing looked at the burly man again, so they all looked here.

"I really lost the silver today, I'll give it to you next time."

"Next time? Who knows when, if you don't give silver, you can do it, leave this Fang Tian painting halberd, and you can exchange it for some silver and come back. ”

"This is the guy I eat, I use him for self-defense when I walk on the road, how can I mortgage it to you."

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Ximenqing snorted, called the man, handed him a piece of silver, and said: "The left and right are just consistent money, and it's not worth much, I gave it for him, and everyone has a disappointment when they go out." ”

The man loves money, and when he sees the silver, it doesn't matter who gives it," or this official is extravagant. After singing, he glanced at the man, turned over and went downstairs.

When the man saw that Ximen Qing gave him the money, he hurried over and sang, "Thank you to a few officials for their righteous action, if it weren't for you, I would be afraid of a lawsuit today." ”

Ximenqing got up and returned the salute and said with a smile: "It's just a few pieces of silver, and what is it worth?" Besides, I am optimistic that Han is not the one who owes money and does not pay it back, so he must be really in trouble. As the saying goes, poverty is not poverty, the road is poor and sorrowful, when you go out, everyone has a time of difficulty, if you don't dislike it, please come and drink a cup together. ”

The man is a man with a big belly, and where can he eat enough of the food just now, it can be seen that Ximen Qing is dressed as an official, and said politely: "How dare I eat and drink at the same table with the officials." ”

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, what is it to eat a few glasses of thin wine?" ”

The man still refused, and the words pushed each other, and when he saw him so unruly, he said angrily: "What kind of character is my brother Simon, please eat and drink, but you don't know what to do." ”

When the man heard Brother Ximen, he was stunned in his heart and asked, "Brother Ximen, isn't the official Ximen Qing of Yanggu?" Simon Official? ”
