Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Slap in the Face
After dark, the coachmen said that they could not walk again, more than half of them had night blindness, and they could not see the road at night at all, and the official road was surrounded by dense forests on both sides, and there were fewer and fewer people, and if they hit the forest in the dark, this crime was not easy to bear.
As they spoke, the coachmen took control of their horses or mules, and began to click on the flint and light the smoke pot, and wisps of green smoke rose in the light of the lantern torches.
Tobacco has not been in China for a long time, but it has been widely cultivated in the north, especially in Liaodong, and there are many people who like to eat it, regardless of whether they are high or low.
"There are a total of twenty-eight guest officers, and they need twenty-eight rooms, ten dollars per room a night, and then they have to cook with a fire, and a total of twenty more lighter money, and the sesame oil shop will give them away, and the guest officials will save some money, and a total of three hundred dollars will be given. If the horses, beans, grain, and grass are used, they need to be counted again. ”
Han Xu and others found a big mule and horse shop on the side of the road, but it was also wide, and a row of lanterns were picked in front of the door, which was eye-catching, this is the center of Fengjibao to Liaoyang, this shop is here, the business is not bad, Han Xu and others have parked a lot of cars and horses outside when they enter the door, and there are a few shopkeepers who are running before and after.
This kind of inn is different from the inns in the city, mainly convenient for people in a hurry to stay, there is a place to take care of and feed the horses, and the guests make their own fires and cook, and lie down to sleep when they are full, which is very convenient.
When he entered the door, someone said "Huh", Han Xu turned his head and looked, but he didn't say anything, Gao Xiaosan and Yang Guoyong both showed surprise on their faces, and it happened that it was Wang Dali and Shi Xin, Ma Guobin and others who bumped into each other in this store, but it was really a place in life that they didn't meet.
Wang Dali and the others were all proud, they were all wearing waist knives, but they were not wearing armor and helmets, and they were wearing strong suits.
When the two groups of people passed by, their eyes were very sharp, if there was lightning flashing in each other's eyes, Shi Xin kept staring at Han Xu with resentful eyes, Yang Guoyong and Gao Xiaosan were also very disdainful of these people, the atmosphere was not right, Li Wei, Ren Shangwu and others were all good things, and they could see it at a glance, and they immediately pressed the knife and surrounded them.
There are also a lot of people on Wang Dali's side, and there are more than 20 people, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they also surrounded them.
"Little Sanguoyong, don't make trouble."
Han Xu frowned, feeling very meaningless, although Wang Dali had grievances with him, but he did not suffer a loss, on the contrary, he took a lot of advantage, since these people have left the army, they will have nothing to do with it in the future.
After listening to Han Xu's instructions, Gao Xiaosan and Yang Guoyong restrained the provocative look on their faces, and planned to go back to the house with everyone first.
Seeing this, Shi Xin, Ma Guobin and the others looked pale, and Shi Xin said to Wang Dali: "The person surnamed Han still has eyes, and he knows that he can't provoke us now." ”
Wang Dali also thought so, but he couldn't continue his position as an officer, and he became a laughing stock in the army, all thanks to Han Xu, he was resentful in his heart, his eyes were still staring at Han Xu, and his hand was also pressed on the knife, eager to pull Han Xu over and hack him to death.
Han Xu sensed such a resentful look, and turned his head to glance at Wang Dali, still with a flat expression.
He just regarded the person in front of him as a mosquito-like existence, and if he was annoyed, he would slap him to death, and he didn't take it to heart, but Wang Dali only said that Han Xu was afraid, and the expression on his face became even more arrogant.
Just when Wang Dali was about to make trouble, a middle-aged man wearing a soap silk robe and a black square scarf walked in from the courtyard, and when he saw the situation in the store, the man smiled slightly, and then saw that Han Xu was just a fifth-grade military officer, and the man's eyes showed disdain.
When Wang Dali saw the man coming in, he hurriedly ran over, and carefully reported what was in front of him, he added fuel to his fire, saying that Han Xu and others were provoking.
After listening to Wang Dali's words, the man's eyes were full of contempt, he looked at Han Xu, and said casually with an instructive tone: "Mr. Han, please come over and talk about it." ”
That man is Zhang Ruting, who consulted with Wang Wending, the goods bought back this time were gathered from the Hupiyi and Fengji Fort, the convoy had nearly 100 vehicles, and there were dozens of escorts, in order to be afraid of any accidents, Zhang Ruting found an excuse to personally escort the team, and there were more than a dozen of his own family's guards around him, all of whom were recruited outlaws, and in terms of force, Zhang Ruting was not afraid of Han Xu and others.
"This is Master Zhang," Wang Dali shouted with a fake tiger: "I have done Jimo Zhi County, Han Xu, why don't you hurry up and come over to salute and meet people!" ”
Zhang Ruting has a reserved face, the Ming Dynasty is noble and cheap, when he was in Jimo Renzhi County, the garrison of the Jimo battalion was a four-grade military officer, and when he saw him, he also held a subordinate salute in his hand, and when he went to Dengzhou City to do business, the general of the city's deputy general guerrilla and other officials were also polite to him, and the Zhang family also had trade contacts in Shandong, and those generals were vying to please him, like Han Xu, who had been in his eyes?
Seeing Zhang Ruting's appearance, as well as Wang Dali and the others' fake tiger appearance, Han Xu just smiled slightly and said a word to Gao Xiaosan.
Gao Xiaosan was in high spirits and said proudly: "My family told the general manager that I am tired today and have to rest, and I will talk about business and private affairs in Daxingdun...... He has no personal affairs with people he doesn't know! ”
These words were like a heavy slap on Zhang Ruting's face, and the arrogance on his face disappeared immediately, and his complexion instantly turned blue.
"The little vertical surnamed Han, let's see!"
Zhang Ruting relied on his identity, but it was not good to quarrel with a martial artist like Han Xu here, and the most important thing for him now was to send the goods to Liaoyang safely, if something happened on the way, it would not be beautiful, at the moment, he held back his anger in his eyes, and only slapped his hand on the table, and after glancing at Han Xu, there was no action at the bottom.
"Dongjia, this surnamed Han is arrogant, what if we go up and clean him up?"
Shi Xin couldn't help but run over to speak, Zhang Ruting was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, hearing this, a "snap" slap was slapped on Shi Xin's face, and then Zhang Ruting scolded: "Dog, get out!" ”
After such a slap, Shi Xin hurriedly flashed to the side, his face was very depressed, Wang Dali and the others were also dead, seeing the scene in front of them, Gao Xiaosan and Yang Guoyong couldn't help laughing.
"A good person should not be, but he should be a dog."
After entering the shop, Gao Xiaosan still couldn't help but discuss with Yang Guoyong, Yang Guoyong shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I did this kind of business before, the more the identity of the main family, the more glorious I feel, and it is estimated that the appearance at that time may not be better than Shi Xin." Looking back now, it's like two lives! ”
Gao Xiaosan said: "It's also strange, Wang Dali has Wang Dayong, the clan brother, and Wang Wending, the clan uncle, how can he come out to be someone's nurse?" ”
Yang Guoyong said casually: "I'm afraid that I also became the head of the nursing home, and I took more silver." ”
"There's always something wrong......"
Gao Xiaosan was very clever, thinking that there was always something wrong in his heart, and when he was muttering, he saw Han Xu push the door in.
The two stood up together, Han Xu's expression was as usual, but his voice was much quieter, and he said softly: "Little San, you go and secretly see what the goods are being escorted by this Zhang family's convoy, you have to be careful, don't be discovered." ”
Gao Xiaosan's spirits perked up and said, "Han Tou'er, you also found out that Wang Dali was wrong?" ”
"Wang Dali?" Han Xu frowned and said, "It's a little strange for him to be a guard, but what's even stranger is that Zhang Ruting, I heard that he had a very close relationship with Wang Dayong, and he deliberately provoked him, but he endured it." Such a person's eyes are above the top, how can he be so angry, this thing is very strange, and it should be investigated. ”
