Chapter 350: Someone Comes at Night
Seeing that the Qin Wu clan and the Yuan Xu clan were really angry, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything anymore, and the few of them were doing needlework quietly.
Tong Shuangxi didn't know when he fell asleep, and before he knew it, he suddenly heard a noisy voice in his ears.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! Open the door! Open the door, open the door to Lao Tzu! ”
A knock on the door woke everyone in the inn.
The innkeeper and the young man stood tremblingly in front of the door with oil lamps and did not dare to move.
"Don't go downstairs, Brother Yuan and I will go down and have a look!"
Qian San told the people who were gathered in the stairwell, and then said.
Tong Shuangxi and the others nodded towards Qian San, and saw Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family go downstairs.
"It's all dead people, don't hurry up and open the door to Lao Tzu!"
The sound of slamming and shouting outside the door was still the same, Qian San took out a knife that had not been used for a long time from his body, stood in front of the door and asked, "Who is outside the door?" My store is already full, and there are no extra rooms, so you might as well find another one! ”
The people outside the door heard the sound of someone talking, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then scolded in a low voice: "What do you say, open the door for Lao Tzu, otherwise, Lao Tzu will let you go around without eating!" ”
Listening to these rampant words, Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family couldn't help but glance at each other, and their faces showed worry, and the people outside the door were afraid that the person who came was not good.
Just when the big guy was frightened and at a loss, he heard a gentle but somewhat impatient voice outside: "You slam the door like this, even the king of Hades won't dare to open the door for you!" ”
As soon as this person's words were finished, he heard the person who had just smashed the door and cursed and said with a smile: "What the lord said, what the lord said is that the lower official is in a hurry, so he ......."
After speaking, the people in the inn heard the person who smashed the door and scolded people before, and said: "Listen, the people inside the door, we are the officials who handle the case, and we happen to pass by your inn, if it hinders our case, you can't afford to deal with it at that time!" ”
Although the attitude was a lot milder, the threat in that sentence was not less at all.
Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family listened to this conversation, although they still had some doubts in their hearts, but they were still relieved in the end.
The shopkeeper of the inn and the young man were still trembling, and the two of them looked at Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family with a blank expression, waiting for the two of them to come up with an idea.
The third uncle of the Yuan family nodded to Qian San, and Qian San took a knife to protect the third uncle of the Yuan family, but the third uncle of the Yuan family stepped forward and opened the lock on the door.
"Grandma drops! It's kind of an open door! This hellish weather, snow and rain, froze people to death. ”
When did the county magistrate suffer such a crime, I saw that as soon as the door of the inn opened, a long-lost warmth hit his face, which made the county magistrate shudder.
Before the door opened, Yuan Laohan and Qin Ergouzi had already let Tong Shuangxi and Wang Pozi hide in the house, and they also each held a stick in their hands, if they were really mountain bandits, they could withstand it for a while.
After more than 20 people entered the door one after another with cold air, the person who smashed the door before pointed to Qian San and said: "If you don't go to Lao Tzu and put the horses outside the door in place, if you are frozen and hungry and delay our errand, you will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
After saying this, the man bared his teeth and shivered.
Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family glanced at the shopkeeper and the young man, and the two of them didn't bother to take the robe, and rushed into the snow and rain to pull the dozen or so horses outside the door.
"What are you still standing for, hurry up and let people prepare some hot water and food, waiting for us to pay you!" The county magistrate couldn't get into the hot water at this time, but thinking that there was an official from the capital next to him, he couldn't help but endure the coldness and said.
Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family hurriedly went to the kitchen in the backyard, and at this time, the cooks and mothers-in-law in the kitchen woke up, and they all hid in the kitchen with frightened faces and did not dare to make a sound.
"Boil some hot water, make some food and send it to those officials!"
The third uncle of the Yuan family said in a deep voice.
The cook nodded in a panic, and hurriedly took a few mothers-in-law to make a fire and cook rice.
In a few moments, hot meals and drinks were served on the table.
The twenty or so people were really tired, and after gobbling up all the meals, they instructed the store to arrange a room for them.
Tong Shuangxi upstairs listened to the movement downstairs with bated breath, and after confirming that those people were indeed wearing official uniforms, they couldn't help but settle down a little.
It's just that these officials came here so late in the snow and rain, what are they for? Could it be that they were guessed by the princess, it was really to suppress the bandits.
While thinking about it, I heard another voice from downstairs.
"What? The upstairs rooms were all packed, bold, we ......"
No matter where the county order goes, there is never a need to speak, and someone brings the best to him to choose, but he doesn't want to meet such an ignorant Diao people in this small country inn today.
Sure enough, it is a poor township that raises the people.
The county magistrate was about to exert pressure, but he saw that the official of the capital, who had been sitting there without speaking, looked up and said, "Since the upstairs is full, then we will live downstairs!" ”
After speaking, the official glanced at the county order again and said, "Don't make trouble before our adults come back." ”
This is a reminder and a warning.
The county magistrate's heart couldn't help but be clever, and he nodded hurriedly and replied.
The shopkeeper of the inn, the young man and Qian San couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, most of the people living upstairs were female dependents, if these officials also lived above, wouldn't it be ......
Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger.
After settling the county orders and officials, Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family also went upstairs.
"I heard those officials say that the adults from the capital secretly went up the mountain with their personal guards, saying that they were going to personally cut off the head of the mountain bandit and bring it back to the capital!"
The third uncle of the Yuan family told everyone what he had heard.
Tong Shuangxi and these people couldn't help but gasp when they heard the words of the third uncle of the Yuan family.
"Why are you suddenly going to cut off the head of the bandit leader on this mountain?"
Qin Ergouzi couldn't help but wonder and asked, after all, there is more than this mountain in the vicinity, all the way over, there are more than three or five nests of mountain bandits that these people have heard of, how can it be this nest of mountain bandits?
Seeing Qin Ergouzi asking like this, the third uncle of the Yuan family looked outside the house, and then lowered his voice and said: "I secretly heard it when I was adding water to the poor master, saying that it was the brother-in-law of a certain official in the capital who went back to Beijing to save his relatives, but he was robbed by this group of bandits, and finally he was so scared that he peed his pants, and it would be stupid to return to the capital, so he reported to the court and asked the court to send a team of people to cut off the heads of this gang of bandits and send them to the capital!" ”
After listening to the words of the third uncle of the Yuan family, everyone finally had some numbers in their hearts.
No wonder!
