After Pang Gang and the others sat down, the originally noisy hall suddenly became much quieter, and some people who were talking loudly with a few taels of yellow soup seemed to feel the chill emanating from the sergeants, and the wine also woke up a little, and they lowered their voices when they spoke.

The sergeants brought by Pang Gang this time are the elite of the Wanghai Fort army, after several months of harsh training and the actual combat of the bandits in the Dog Tooth Mountain, their combat power is already considered the elite in the Ming Dynasty's Tun army, although it is not yet a hundred battles of elite soldiers, but compared to those soldiers in Qingzhou Mansion, it is already too strong, and they have seen blood at this time, and their every move is naturally a solemn atmosphere.

And the deepest feeling is the men next to them, for them who make a living by trading without capital, officers and soldiers are their natural enemies, according to the words of later generations, the surnames of officers and soldiers are specially restrained by people like them, plus our Comrade Pang Gang's more and more powerful aura after becoming an official, it will make them feel bound and uncomfortable, which is naturally a very common thing.

The people who open the shop are naturally the people who are exquisite, and the guys who run the hall usually welcome the people who send them to see a lot, and understand that there are two kinds of people who open the shop that they can't offend the most, one is the local ruffian who begs for a living, although this kind of person is very annoying, but it is difficult to do their own business if they offend them. The other is the military master, these people come to the store to eat and stay, if they are happy, they will give you a few small money, if you are not happy, not only can you not get the money, not to mention, maybe you will be rewarded with a few ear scrapers. Especially the latter, after he beats you and you pats your ass and leaves, you don't even have a place to redress your grievances.

Therefore, not long after Pang Gang and the others sat down, good wine and food were delivered like flowing water, and Pang Gang and the other sergeants were also so hungry that they devoured the food without waiting for the food to be served.

While Pang Gang and the others were eating by themselves, the young man not far away asked the businessman-looking old man beside him in a low voice, "Uncle Kui, who are those officers and soldiers, and how do I feel that they are a little different from the officers and soldiers we have seen in ordinary times?" But I can't say what is different. ”

After all, the old man has eaten too much for so many years, and his observation is much stronger than that of this young man, he lowered his voice: "Shaodong, these soldiers are definitely not ordinary, you see that the armor they wear and the weapons they carry with them can be called excellent, they are by no means the rags in the ordinary soldiers or guards, and the bulging bags they are all carrying, judging from the shape, they should all be strong bows, and from the time they entered the store to the present, the soldiers who have been officials can not say a word, From this point of view, it is definitely an elite army that is forbidden by order. It's just that what makes the old decay strange is that the old decay of Qingzhou City has also been running for many years, but he has never seen such an elite who is forbidden by order? ”

The young man's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Oh! Uncle Kui, do you think we can ask these officers and soldiers to escort us to Yangzhou? I guess if there is such an elite escort, I don't think there will be any thieves who don't have long eyes to dare to touch our goods. ”

Uncle Kui smiled helplessly after hearing this, "Shao Dong, not to mention that the lord who can afford such elite officers and soldiers will definitely not be short of money, even if they are willing to escort us back to Yangzhou, you can guarantee that they will not see the intention of making money and bring us death?" It must be known that in these years, "bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings, and those who are soldiers are more ruthless than bandits." ”

Uncle Kui's words made the young owner very disappointed, he lowered his head and muttered for a long time, suddenly raised his head and said resolutely: "Uncle Kui, our business is originally gambling, if we can't deliver on time, then waiting for Jubao Zhai will inevitably be closed, rather than sit still, it's better to let go." Jubao Zhai has reached this anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad, I think we might as well ask these officers and soldiers for help, if they can help us, we can get through this difficulty, if it really meets the bad guys, then it can be regarded as my Kong family's life should be decided, Jubao Zhai should be swallowed by the surname Sun! ”

Listening to the sad voice of the young owner, Uncle Kui's heart was sour, could it be that Jubaozhai, which was famous in Yangzhou, was going to disappear like this?

When this Uncle Kui was sad, Pang Gang, who had already eaten two bowls of rice, burped comfortably, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, well, it is authentic Qingzhou rice wine, and the taste is very mellow.

Pang Gang, who was full of food and drink, had the leisure to look around carefully, this hall of about 100 square meters has a lot of guests, it seems that yesterday's heavy snow has trapped many guests here, but if the heavy snow does not stop tomorrow morning, I am afraid that I will have to stay here for a few days.

When Pang Gang moved his gaze back to the corner next to him from a distance, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw the men next to him, only to see that the man led by him was in his forties, with a slight horizontal flesh on his face, and his eyes were both sharp and cunning, and he was very gangster.

The three men next to him also had a similar temperament to him, and they whispered a few words to him from time to time, obviously focusing on him. At the same time, Pang Gang also noticed that these people's hands were very rough, and they had calluses on their index fingers and tiger mouths, obviously people who were used to holding weapons.

At this time, a man's fleeting eyes were noticed by him, it was a kind of frightened and fierce gaze, which made Pang Gang feel very uncomfortable. Since becoming a hundred, Pang Gang is also a master in Wanghaibao, the ancients said: live and move the qi, nourish the body, after a few months of edification, Pang Gang's surname has gradually had the fierceness of a soldier and the majesty of an official, and now he is very uncomfortable to see such a look.

However, Qingzhou is not his territory, and he doesn't want to do much, so he took his eyes back, but as a man inadvertently lifted his robe, revealing a cold light inside, although it was only a flash, the sharp-eyed Pang Gang saw it really, it was a short knife, a short knife that was extremely sharp!

Pang Gang can't sit still, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, except for public officials such as soldiers, fast arresters, and inspections everywhere, only people with talents and fame can carry weapons to walk, and the rest of the people who carry weapons are regarded as violating the law and should be severely punished according to the law. Naturally, these few people dressed up in gangsters will not be officers and soldiers, and it is even more impossible to show off talents.

"Could it be a thief?" Thinking of this, Pang Gang's gaze seemed to shoot at those men, and he only saw those few people breaking out in a cold sweat. After a while, the man at the head felt that the situation was a little bad, and whispered to his companions, and several people stood up and were about to walk to the back room, but there was a loud shout after taking two steps.

"All four of you stand up to this official!"
