Chapter 00026: Visit the Stone Lance
It is certainly a good thing to get a restaurant without paying a penny, but after thinking for a while, Zhao Shuo still put a big cross in his heart after thinking for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Naturally, there is no need to say the character of the shopkeeper Li, but Zhao Shuo will use the shopkeeper Li in the future, if the money is paid by the shopkeeper Li, in the store, he has to listen to Zhao Shuo, the boss who has not paid the money, such a scene is always a little weird.
Of course, the most important point is that Zhao Shuo has to take into account the reputation of Shopkeeper Li. Think about the shopkeeper Li who paid to help Zhao Shuo buy the restaurant of the Shaodong family, and then became the shopkeeper in this restaurant.
If this matter spreads, the head of Shopkeeper Li will inevitably be indispensable to the hats of 'selling for glory' and 'eating inside and out'.
Although these things are all fake, they are rumors, but rumors are fiercer than tigers, no one cares if this is true or not, they will only say it, and they will only continue to spread.
Such a scene is something that Zhao Shuo does not want to see. After all, this is related to the reputation of Zhaocai Restaurant in the future.
If the shopkeeper is rumored to be like that, then who will want to come here to eat in the future.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Li's money cannot be used.
Tomorrow I was going to visit this young owner, Shopkeeper Li's money couldn't be used, and Zhao Shuo had no money, so Zhao Shuo thought of the only person who could help him - Shi Lance.
Shi Lance copied Zhang's house, and if he wanted to say that he didn't get the silver taels, he killed Zhao Shuo, but Zhao Shuo didn't believe it.
What Shi Lance sent to Zhao Shuo were all antique calligraphy and paintings, not a tael of silver, Zhao Shuo was clear about the value of these owners, but now these things are a little difficult to exchange for money.
The reason why Shi Yan didn't give him the silver, Zhao Shuo knew it. Now the soldiers are short of food and clothing, and silver can buy these things as quickly as possible. Antique calligraphy and painting are completely different.
If it was in a peaceful and prosperous era, there would naturally be a lot of people rushing to buy it, but in the era of war and chaos, there are a few people who are willing to take the life-saving silver to change a painting or a vase. Anyway, in the face of such a choice, Zhao Shuo would definitely choose to keep the silver.
Zhao Shuo thought casually, and under the leadership of Fluttershy and Grandpa Feng, he soon found a new location for Shi Lance.
The garrison used to be placed outside the city, and at that time there was no food or drink, and the stone lance did not dare to rashly let these soldiers enter the city and station, after all, if any hungry and crazy soldier could not control his hands and there was a smashing and looting incident, then the soldiers of the entire army, in order to live, would follow suit madly.
If that happens, Lin'an City will be finished.
But now it's different, Shi Lance got the right to operate briquettes, and confiscated the Zhang family, there is money and food, and the confidence is enough.
So, the garrison of the soldiers was directly transferred from outside the city to the city, or the official residence in the south of the city.
Regarding this point, Shi Lance said in his invitation to his boss again, "Lin'an City has just ended, there is no official management, and the last general will be stationed in Lin'an City, which is really to appease the people and stabilize order." ’
"This is a high-sounding and irrefutable reason. It seems that this stone lance is not a dumb soldier. ”
After listening to Fluttershy's introduction to Stonelance's change of location, Zhao Shuo smiles and comments.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by a dumb soldier?" Fluttershy looks confused.
"Read more books in the future." Zhao Shuo didn't want to explain it too much, and walked towards the mansion where Shi Lance lived temporarily.
The courtyard wall of the mansion is very high, up and down three meters, and there is a stone lion on the left and right in front of the door, and the shape is mighty. The red-lacquered gate looks very solemn, and on each side stands a tall soldier holding a spear, and a brand-new plaque hangs on the gatehouse, with two big characters written on it: 'Shifu'.
When the two soldiers saw Zhao Shuo, they hurriedly came over to salute.
"Meet Your Highness."
Zhao Shuo was a little puzzled, although his reputation in Lin'an City was very big, but there were many people who knew about it, and few people had seen it, and two small soldiers could recognize him, which was too unscientific.
However, Zhao Shuo was quickly relieved of this question, because he had some impressions of these two soldiers.
"You are ......"
"I'm the ......," a soldier gestured.
After a few glances, Zhao Shuo nodded, indicating that he understood. This is the group of soldiers who brought him something last night, walking in front of him to pick up celebrity calligraphy and paintings.
Zhao Shuo looked at the other soldier again.
This soldier is also a gesture, holding a vase behind him.
"You say it plainly, why do you bother." Zhao Shuo asked helplessly.
"Your Highness, the deputy commander explained that this matter can only rot in the stomach and cannot be mentioned to anyone. If it is inconvenient for His Highness, I hope to forgive my sins. ”
The two soldiers bowed their heads as they spoke.
"Get up, what kind of crime is this?" Zhao Shuo smiled. I have to say that the stone lance is still quite reliable. This made Zhao Shuo very satisfied.
"Did you do this before?" Before entering the door, Zhao Shuo asked casually.
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, we used to be in the back camp, and today is the first day to guard the door." The two soldiers said respectfully.
Zhao Shuo nodded with satisfaction again, and then entered the stone mansion under the guidance of a soldier.
This is a pretty good mansion, much stronger than Zhao Shuo's residence.
The courtyard is lined up, at least there are more than a dozen, and between each one and the other, there is a corridor connecting it.
In the process of traveling, Zhao Shuo also saw a somewhat dilapidated garden, with a not very clear lake in the garden, and some broken rockeries.
"These gold thieves are really tyrannical!" Zhao Shuo cursed Jin Bing as he advanced.

Shi Lance paced in the living room, his brow furrowed, the sales of briquettes were getting worse day by day, and he knew that as the weather warmed up, the situation would get worse and worse.
The grain confiscated by Zhang's mansion was used as military rations, and the silver was also confiscated.
The food was enough for the soldiers to eat for half a month, and the silver was also 100,000 taels.
It can be said that this is a bumper harvest, but he can't be happy, as for the reason, he is naturally worried about half a month later.
He asked the soldiers to buy military rations with silver, but the military rations collected were really pitiful, which he also understood, after all, the common people had already had little surplus food left after being plundered by gold thieves.
"What made our Deputy Commander Shi so listless."
Shi Lance was depressed, and when he heard the voice, his face was happy, and he hurriedly raised his head and got up to meet him.
"Your Highness is coming, why don't you say it in advance, so you can let Shi go out to greet him."
"Between you and me, you don't have to be so polite." Zhao Shuo chuckled and walked into the living room.
"Go and prepare a good pot of tea." Shi Lance said to the soldiers who came in with Zhao Shuo.
"Forget about tea, just bring a pot of good wine." Zhao Shuo casually found a chair and sat down.
"Go and bring me my treasured wine." After giving the order to the soldiers, Shi Lance returned to the living room, "Today I want to get drunk with His Highness." ”
