Chapter Ninety-Five: Bad Luck
An exciting moment is coming, although Liu Chuanxiang is still afraid of Lin Dong, who is as fearful as a tiger and wolf, but he has changed his plan to go as far as possible, and after retreating a little, his eyes have been looking at Lin Dong vigilantly, and from time to time he quickly sweeps the door of the inn with passion.
"Huh?"
Several times in a row, Liu Chuanxiang could no longer care about observing whether Lin Dong would suddenly attack. He saw that although the officials walked out by themselves, they did not stop at the door, let alone turn around and close the door and put a seal, but went straight to the street.
"Shopkeeper Liu, what's wrong?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.
"No, it's fine." Liu Chuanxiang shook his head suspiciously, swept through the servants, and finally fixed on an old man in a cyan robe in the center of them.
This old man is his killer weapon.
After spending 5,000 taels of silver and successfully persuading Zhou Zhengye to send another official to gamble, Liu Chuanxiang felt that it was still not enough on the way back.
Even if the diner named Jiang Zhen at Lin Ji Inn is not a martial artist, he may not dare to kill the officials, but he has fought the officials once, and I believe he is not afraid of fighting the second time. Although Zhou Zhengye promised more than 60 officials of the county government to come out, who knows if he can beat this person named Jiang Zhen, if he can't beat it, this trip will be in vain.
In a day or two, Liu Chuanxiang was not so anxious, he was afraid that there would be no more servants available in the yamen, and Zhou Zhengye would have to go to the city defense army to move troops.
If you want to move the city defense army, you have to fabricate the crime of rebellion in the Lin Ji Inn, which can be big or small, and if you are not careful, the harm is even higher than that of hiring mountain bandits.
Mixing with mountain bandits and spreading it out will only damage the reputation of all Maple Grove Restaurants. And framing a competitor for rebellion and dispatching the city defense army, it's good that the top can cover it, but if it can't be covered and found out, even the backstage of Fenglin Restaurant will have to be hit.
Therefore, after thinking about it, gritting his teeth, Liu Chuanxiang went to the Martial Arts Institute overnight.
Since the Liu family is unreliable, in Sealand City, only the dean of the Martial Arts Academy can be fully sure to deal with a figure whose strength is second only to that of a martial artist.
The old man in the group of officials was the president of the Martial Arts Academy, and Liu Chuanxiang spent 10,000 taels of silver to invite the big man.
Today, Liu Chuanxiang is considered to have made a bloody investment, and he is also determined to win. After thinking about it all night, it was already certain that nothing was missed.
But the question is, why didn't the store be closed?
Liu Chuanxiang wanted to go up and ask, but Lin Dong was beside him, so he had to endure the surname and wait for Lin Dong to leave before asking.
However, Lin Dong was not interested, and there were officials in and out of the inn, but he had no intention of going forward to inquire about the reason.
This shopkeeper Lin is too wooden, why can't he understand what is the difference between this time and last time?
Liu Chuanxiang was so anxious that he rubbed his palms, but he could only do it in a hurry.
On the opposite side, the officials swept out of the gate, turned around and left towards the end of the street, and the spectacular situation of more than 60 officials traveling together immediately attracted the attention of countless passers-by.
In the crowd, Ren Qingsong's eyesight was obviously better, and after discovering Lin Dong and the others in the tea shop, he walked over.
"Shopkeeper Liu......" Far away, Ren Qingsong shouted.
Liu Chuanxiang was like an ant on a hot pot, desperately glaring at Ren Qingsong. Lin Dong smiled leisurely, he understood that Dean Ren's voice was reminding him to pretend not to know him for a while.
Obviously, Ren Qingsong misunderstood Liu Chuanxiang's eyes, leaned straight up, didn't look at Lin Dong, and arched his hand towards Liu Chuanxiang and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”
Liu Chuanxiang was overjoyed in his heart, so to speak, the matter is done?
The nervous mood instantly relaxed a lot, and his brain became active, Liu Chuanxiang suddenly figured it out, with the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, no matter how cruel this Lin shopkeeper is, how can he help himself?
With a smile on his face, Liu Chuanxiang gave up his hand again and again: "Dean Ren is busy with government affairs, and he has to run around for this little thing, and he has worked hard to be the dean." ”
"Where, ten thousand taels of silver, that's a lot of spirit stones." Ren Qingsong said with a smile.
"Dean Ren? Isn't the new dean of Qiushui Academy surnamed Wang? On the side, Lin Dong muttered.
"Isn't Shopkeeper Lin a martial arts student? Annual test and realm improvement, didn't go to the Martial Arts Academy? Liu Chuanxiang said happily.
"Of course you have to go to the Martial Arts Academy." Lin Dong suddenly realized, suddenly turned his head to look at Ren Qingsong, and said in amazement: "You are the dean of the Martial Arts Academy?" ”
Ren Qingsong nodded reservedly, looking at his expression, he seemed to be a little disdainful of being polite to Lin Dong.
"It turns out that Shopkeeper Lin has never met Dean Ren! It is no wonder that there is a special person in charge of the registration of the annual test and the improvement of the realm, which needs to be personally inquired by the dean. Shopkeeper Lin, you are lucky today! Otherwise, it is only possible to be received by Dean Ren when there is hope for strength to break through the agile period. Liu Chuanxiang said.
"Indeed, Dean Ren, you seem to have come out of the Lin Ji Inn just now, I am the shopkeeper of the Lin Ji Inn, and it is really a great sin not to entertain you personally."
Lin Dong had to continue acting, there was no way, although Ren Qingsong was different from Zhou Zhengye. But if Liu Chuanxiang knew about Ren Qingsong's relationship with himself, Lin Dong was afraid that he would think of whether Zhou Zhengye also had any friendship with him, with the wealth of Fenglin Restaurant, it may be impossible to rectify Ren Qingsong's relationship in Tianwei Pavilion, but it would be easy to overthrow Zhou Zhengye.
"No need." Ren Qingsong was still too lazy to look at Lin Dong, and arched his hand towards Liu Chuanxiang again: "Shopkeeper Liu, I still have to go back to the Martial Arts Academy to cultivate, you guys are busy!" ”
"You go slowly, you go slowly." Liu Chuanxiang hunched his back, and the smile on his face was as proud as the sun on the horizon.
Look, they are all shopkeepers, and the dean is a five-grade official, why do they look at themselves differently? That's identity and status.
"That's right!" Suddenly remembering that there was no seal, Liu Chuanxiang hurriedly caught up with Ren Qingsong and asked, "Dean Ren, why didn't you see the officials sticking seals?" ”
"Putting a seal?" Ren Qingsong was puzzled: "Jiang Zhen said that he likes the braised tofu in oil at this Lin Ji Inn, if something happens, he will bear the consequences, why should he close this inn?" ”
"Gah?"
Liu Chuanxiang thought that he had heard it wrong, and said in confusion: "Dean Ren, what are you talking about?" ”
Ren Qingsong said lightly: "I mean, Jiang Zhen is a martial artist, and a martial artist has the privilege of vouching for others, since he guarantees that Lin Ji Inn will not use drugs to stun diners and then loot silver, naturally he can't seal this inn." ”
"Martial arts, martial artists? He's a warrior? ”
Liu Chuanxiang only felt that the five thunders hit the top, and the whole person was stunned, this bet was actually wrong. An inn in a small county town, there is really a warrior.
"Ren, Dean Ren, but didn't you say ...... just now" Liu Chuanxiang didn't care about etiquette, and said hurriedly: "Didn't you say that you are fortunate not to be dishonored?" ”
Ren Qingsong's face sank, obviously a little unhappy with Liu Chuanxiang's questioning.
"Shopkeeper Liu just asked me to follow the official to the inn, and when someone came to deal with the official, I helped solve this person. After arriving at the inn, there were indeed a few guys who were anxious to stop the officials from running errands, although Ren was not heavy-handed, it was enough for them to lie down for a few days. ”
Liu Chuanxiang was drenched in cold sweat, it turned out that this was the so-called fortunate life.
"Farewell!" Ren Qingsong seemed to be still angry at the question just now, and he didn't even give it up, so he turned around and left.
Liu Chuanxiang stared blankly, his head was like numbness, and he couldn't muster up the strength to explain his attitude to Ren Qingsong just now.
"Shopkeeper Liu, what's wrong?" Lin Dong stepped forward and kindly asked, "Is the weather too cold?" Look at your trembling appearance, do you want to go to the inn and sit for a while, and I'll ask the guy to cook you a bowl of ginger soup? ”
"No, no." Liu Chuanxiang's teeth trembled.
"Okay, I'll go back to the inn first."
Lin Dong didn't say anything more, he originally planned to break through to the fifth level of the spirit period before the inn was upgraded to level 4, but now the inn will be able to upgrade in three or four days, if you want to reach the fifth level of the spirit period before this, you have to hurry up.
Liu Chuanxiang was in a daze, alone in the tea shed, and he didn't understand what kind of bad luck he was walking for a long time. More than 30,000 taels of silver have been spent before and after, and it is just a matter of being dodged by Lin Ji Inn, such a blow that is bound to be won, it is still so easy to be dodged by Lin Ji Inn.
Thinking of the silver, Liu Chuanxiang looked up at the end of the street, where was there still Ren Qingsong's figure. In addition to a bitter smile, you can only smile bitterly.
Zhou Zhengye must not ask for the silver back, after all, people have also taken great risks, and now Jiang Zhen can already be sure that he is a martial artist, if he is a little more unlucky, it happens that Jiang Zhen is a martial artist loyal to the imperial court, and he is likely to be dismissed from office. If you want to return the silver, it will definitely cause Zhou Zhengye to fight back fiercely at any cost.
Ren Qingsong's side is even more reluctant to come back, people ask themselves if they are fortunate to be dishonored, go to ask for silver, and in anger, I am afraid that no one will dare to care if they smash the Fenglin Restaurant.
is really a warrior loyal to the imperial court, even the main building of Fenglin Restaurant does not want to be easily provoked.
