Soon, a large table of dishes was served.

Listening to Jing Ning, some of the special dishes were cooked by Boss Xu himself. Xie Baoshu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the scholar would cook by himself. The two of them ate happily, and Hachi sat on the side and ate happily. Xu Wanfeng picked up a book, sat at the counter, and slowly flipped through it with the help of candlelight. The proprietress still didn't look at him, and she didn't care what he was reading.

Soon, another customer arrived in the store.

Xie Baoshu raised his head and glanced at it, and found that it was a thin old man with white hair and white beard. He walked to the store and didn't make a noise, but asked Xu Wanfeng to bring him two pots of wine and some side dishes. Xie Baoshu frowned, this thin old man had no aura fluctuations on his body, and he was not a qi practitioner. But as a physical cultivator, Xie Baoshu can clearly perceive that this old man has given him a deep sense of oppression. He silently ate the food, intending to leave after eating, so as not to provoke him.

Xu Wanfeng was hospitable, entertaining the old man with good food and drink, without any slackness.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside, somewhat noisy. Xie Baoshu looked up again and found that five or six officials walked in, the one at the head was still wearing Xuanwuwei's clothes. It's just that the man at the head looks a little feminine, and his face is not bad, but his eyes are too obscene, and he is a little uncomfortable to look at. As soon as he walked in, he first looked at the proprietress for a while, and then saw Jing Ning. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, but he didn't make much movement, but sat down and began to drink.

The voices of several people were very noisy, and Hachi raised his paws with some dissatisfaction.

Xu Wanfeng was good-tempered, greeted a few people, and served wine and food. In this way, when a few people finish eating, they can be regarded as safe. Xie Baoshu and Jing Ning were the first to finish eating, and they didn't drink alcohol, so they ate faster. After packing up my things, I was ready to find an inn to rest.

As a result, Xu Wanfeng saw that Jing Ning and they were leaving, and asked a few times, and learned that they were looking for an inn. Xu Wanfeng glanced at Jing Ning and said with a smile: "You have eaten so many meals, you don't help me solicit some business, why do you still take people out?"

Jing Ning replied a little embarrassedly: "I didn't know you also have a room here." ”

Xu Wanfeng glanced at Xie Baoshu and said with a smile: "Although I am a little old here, the bed is absolutely clean, if the son does not dislike it, it is a pity to rest here for one night." My wine shop is in a good location, so it's easy to go anywhere. Outside is the market, and it is not very far from the blessed land of green silk. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded and said, "Then bring us two rooms." ”

Xu Wanfeng was just about to take them upstairs, but when he heard that the officials wanted to drink, he asked the guys to pour wine for the officials. In this small wine shop, in addition to the boss and the proprietress who collects the bills, there is only one guy. Unexpectedly, as soon as the guy walked over, he was kicked to the ground by those officials. One of them shouted, "Boss, come here, I have something to tell you." ”

Xu Wanfeng was a little helpless, it seemed that Jing Ning glanced at them and said to let them wait for a while. He himself walked up to a few officials and asked, "What do you need?"

The one at the head was wearing Xuanwuwei's clothes, and he hadn't spoken since just now. When Xu Wanfeng came over, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, threw it to Xu Wanfeng, and said, "Look at it, this is a notice from the Yamen, to requisition your tavern, you see, how much silver should be paid to you before you are satisfied." ”

Xu Wanfeng had read the book, and soon read the announcement, and he smiled bitterly: "A few officials are joking with me." ”

One of the officials scolded: "Who is joking with you? Hurry up and tell me the price, tomorrow this place may be demolished." ”

Xu Wanfeng frowned, and said in a low voice: "Although my tavern doesn't make much money, how can I say that I can sell the inheritance left by my ancestors? If a generation of family business is destroyed in my hands, how can I have the face to go down to see my father? I don't sell this tavern for any amount of money." ”

Xuanwu Wei, who was the leader, smiled, he pointed to the paper in Xu Wanfeng's hand, and said sharply: "You have to make it clear, it's not our tavern that we want to buy, but the yamen." We didn't count what we said, but now I'm here to tell you in advance, you still don't thank us. If you really don't want to sell it, take this piece of paper and go to the yamen to file a complaint. ”

Xu Wanfeng frowned, he waved the paper in his hand and said, "Go and go!"

The faces of several officials suddenly changed slightly, and they scolded: "Why are you so stubborn." It's not that you don't give you money, but you're tired and tired now, how much money can you earn a day? I heard that as a boss, you have to go out to buy vegetables by yourself every day.

At this time, the old man who was drinking silently on the side suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was very clear that it reached everyone's ears: "Sue, you are going to the yamen to sue them." They eat official meals, and they are most afraid of someone suing, you little boss is so stupid, really think these people are innocent? If they don't get paid, they are willing to make this trip? Let me tell you, they are very greedy, if the yamen promised you eight hangings, they would take more than seven hangings. If you don't sue them, you're fulfilling their wishes. ”

The faces of several officials changed, and they looked at the wizened old man viciously. Before going out today, the county magistrate happened to say that this tavern, eight dollars and one level, must be taken down. On this prosperous street, a little decoration can make a lot of money. Who made this Boss Xu uninteresting? In the whole street, only the façade of his family is in tatters, and he doesn't know how to renovate it. Doesn't this affect the county appearance of Luzhou County? If you don't demolish his house, whose house will it be demolished?

The old man slapped the table and scolded, "What are you looking at me doing, you want to fight?"

Xuanwuwei, who was the leader, looked at the old man and said with a smile: "What kind of fight is it, the old man drinks well, don't worry about my little brothers." They are not sensible, so let them go. ”

The old man scolded and drank the wine, and no longer spoke. The officials were a little annoyed, but they were stopped by the boss with a look. The boss looked at Xu Wanfeng and said, "Your tavern has a good location, but that's it." The yamen gave an order and said, give you four hangings of money and one level, how about it, is it okay to move out early?"

Xu Wanfeng still shook her head: "I don't sell this tavern." ”

This Xuanwu Wei heard this and sneered: "Are you asking the question of whether you sell or not, I'm asking when you will move out." If you don't move, I will bring someone directly to tear down your shop for you, and I won't blame us for hurting you at that time! ”

Xu Wanfeng's face was firm, he secretly glanced at the proprietress at the counter, but found that she didn't look at him at all. As if this tavern, this home, had nothing to do with her. Suddenly, he felt a little lost. He hadn't been in this mood since his dad was gone.

That Xuanwuwei stepped forward at this time and whispered in Xu Wanfeng's ear: "What are you insisting on? For the sake of your wife and children, let me tell you, you don't know yet." Your daughter-in-law has long made a secret promise to Li Gongzi in the south of the city. Before you got married, they were husband and wife. It's just that Mr. Li has already had a wife who is the right person, how can he take a fancy to your daughter-in-law? He is just playing at random, and your daughter-in-law is still serious. I saw that you were pitiful, so I told you. ”

Speaking of this, the leader smiled, and whispered in Xu Wanfeng's ear: "Guess that you go out to buy vegetables on weekdays, so Li Gongzi will come in and shop when he passes by here?"

Although these words were small, Xie Baoshu had a keen sense of hearing, and he heard them very clearly. And Jing Ning on the side obviously didn't hear it.

After listening to this, Xu Wanfeng couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his fist and smashed a punch on this Xuanwu Wei's face, although the force was not large, but the real punch also left a fist mark. That Xuanwuwei was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that this scholar in front of him would dare to beat himself. His realm is not high, although he only has the realm of bone exchange, but it stands to reason that beating a scholar like Xu Wanfeng is a punch. It's just that he was defenseless and was attacked by a sneak attack.

He stood up, looked at Xu Wanfeng with a sneer, and said, "It's okay now, beat the official errand, save money, handcuff me and take it away!" As soon as the words fell, several of his subordinates walked up, unloaded the chains from their waists, and prepared to tie Xu Wanfeng up.

Jing Ning glanced at Xie Baoshu, very anxious.

Xie Baoshu frowned, stepped forward, and stood in front of several officials.

Several officials were a little amused and asked, "What, you also want to obstruct official business and beat up officials?"

Xie Baoshu shook his head, stepped forward, enthusiastically put his arm around the shoulder of the leader of the Xuanwu Guard, and said loudly: "How dare I beat the official, a few adults give face, this Boss Xu is my friend, he was wrong just now, just spare him this time." I'll take his place and apologize to a few people, okay? It's a little meaning, not a respect, and a few adults take it to the bar. After speaking, Xie Baoshu took out two red fairy jades from his arms and stuffed them into the arms of the official.

The official messenger led by Xie Baoshu was hugged by Xie Baoshu like this, and wanted to break free, but he was surprised that the strength from Xie Baoshu's hand was so great. He wanted to break free, but found that Xie Baoshu's arm was not moving. Suddenly, he understood that the person in front of him was not a simple person, but definitely a monk. And looking at the long sword behind his back, it's still a sword cultivator.

The leader rolled his eyes, put away the fairy jade, and said, "For the sake of this son's face, this matter is over, but you should move out quickly, don't force us to come." ”

After speaking, he walked out with a few of his subordinates.

Before leaving, the official glanced at the proprietress and found that the woman did not look at him at all, nor did she care about her man, but just looked at the south side of the street stupidly. He sneered, and secretly scolded in his heart, what a stupid woman! That Li Gongzi in the south of the city, any maid in the family, is more expensive than her. She was still delusional, she wanted Li Gongzi to take her away, how could it be? If it weren't for the fact that she still had a bit of beauty, then Li Gongzi wouldn't even want to coax her.

I remember that once they were drinking with that Li Gongzi, when Li Gongzi was drunk, he laughed and said that he hadn't found out that this woman looked good before. Could it be that after getting married, he has a different flavor? There are a lot of maids and maids in his Li Gongzi's family, and other people's daughters-in-law are still the first time they have met, which is really good.

The official sighed, there are thousands of men in the world, as long as they have a good mouth, there is really no shortage of women! An honest person like Xu Wanfeng can't speak, but he loves his daughter-in-law very much, and he is reluctant to let her buy vegetables, so what's the use? If you can't meet a good girl, it's wrong to even marry her.
