Chapter Twenty-Eight: Master Flowers

Walking out of the old forest, Tongxian was in front of them, and the old smoke pot sent them to the official road, and they were ready to say goodbye.

Zhu Wanqing thought that she might have to hurry through this forest when she came back, so she asked the old smoke pot to stay in Tongxian and wait for them to finish their errands and go back together.

The old smoke pot refused because the blacksmith had a job to do.

Zhu Wanqing pleaded again and again, saying that she would come back and give double the money, and she would cover the old man's food and lodging in Tong County.

In fact, the blacksmith shop of the old smoke pot has been in a recession for the past two years, because the world is too chaotic, there are fewer farm tools, and it is illegal to make weapons privately, so when he heard that the price was doubled, he was still moved, and this trip made enough income in the past six months.

Zhu Wanqing deliberately found Yuelailou, the best restaurant in Tongxian County, as a place to stay. Although the old smoke pot has good family conditions, it is all hard-earned money with his life, and he is actually from a poor peasant.

The first time I entered a county-level restaurant like Yuelailou, the old smoking pot showed the feeling of soil buns entering the city. In the old forest, he is indeed familiar with the road, but in this noisy county, the old smoke pot is completely blind.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel? How many? Xiao Er saw that although Zhu Wanqing and Wang Qi were a little dirty in their clothes, the materials were definitely affordable for high-ranking officials and nobles, and it was normal for passers-by to be dirty, so they warmly received them.

"Stay in a hotel, eat, and open four rooms for us." Zhu Wanqing is not stingy with money.

"Yo, I'm sorry, there are only three rooms left." Xiao Er said.

Zhu Wanqing thought about it, two rooms for three men should be enough, so she opened three rooms.

Xiao Er led Zhu Wanqing upstairs, the old cigarette pot looked like a coolie in a stinky leather jacket, he was about to follow, but was stopped by another miscellaneous man.

"It's always called Hanako, who let you in, go out and go out." The boys took the broom and drove the people out.

"Who are you scolding Hanako?" The old smoke pot glared and roared loudly.

There were a lot of people eating in the hall of Yuelai Building, and all of them were attracted by his voice.

"This one is with us, let him come up." Zhu Wanqing said to the guy.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing this, the guy hurriedly compensated the old smoke pot.

"Dogs look down on people, something." The old smoke pot seemed to feel that he had received a great insult, and he couldn't wait to pull out his gun and come out and smash the signboard of Yuelai Building.

Everyone can still come here to eat and live in the old smoke pot dressed like this, and they can't help but be a little curious, and some people talk about how Lai Zilai is a rich man.

This was unfortunately heard by the old smoke pot, his temperament, he was able to endure the behavior of the guy just now was very restrained, and now when he heard this, he finally couldn't help it.

The old smoker didn't say a word, and pulled out the flintlock pistol, which was already loaded with gunpowder projectiles.

"Damn, who was chewing his tongue just now?" The old cigarette pot carried a gun and walked to the table in the direction from which the sound came.

When the other guests saw that the old guy had a gun in his hand, they ran away, and the people at the table were even more frightened and hid under the table.

"Come out for Lao Tzu!" The old smoking pot went up and pulled them out one by one.

"Yo, what is this for, this business is not allowed to be done!" Seeing this, the shopkeeper said with a sad face and patting his thigh.

The old smoker pointed his gun at the four people at the table and asked them to repeat the sentence in turn.

"Come on, that old thing must be a rich man on Lai Zilai, just say this sentence one by one." The old smoke pot is not forgiving, and today I have to find that person out.

Wang Qizheng was about to go down to persuade him, but Zhu Wanqing stopped him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of me if something happens, let the old guy take this breath." ”

The old smoke pot started from the first one, forcing him to repeat what he had just said.

"That old thing must be a rich man on Lai's son." This man has a stutter, not him.

"That old, old thing must be Lai Ai's son, Lai Ai, love, rich, rich......" The second one is stammering, and it wasn't him just now.

"The old man must be Laizi, the rich lord of Lai." The third is full of Beijing films.

"That's you!" The old smoke pot didn't give the fourth man a chance to speak, and he pressed down the hammer and was ready to shoot.

"Uncle spares his life, he stammers and pretends to be." The last one was scared to pee.

Zhu Wanqing almost fainted without laughing when she watched the performance of the old smoking pot downstairs.

The shopkeeper has already sent someone to the yamen to report the case, Yuelailou is a big local taxpayer, and the official family also holds his family's shares, so when I heard that someone was smashing the field in Yuelailou, the attendance speed of the yamen people was quite fast.

"Quickly lay down your weapons and release the hostages!" After a while, the officials of the yamen arrived.

The old smoke pot used to be a tiger, and he never fought with others, but it was all on the edge of the Ussuri River, in the deep mountains and old forests, and no one cared about the death or injury. Now this is a big restaurant in the county seat, and he hasn't done anything yet, the officers and soldiers are in front of him in the blink of an eye, and these soldiers are all Ming made long-pole flintlock pistols, which are much more powerful than him.

The old smoke pot has not eaten this deflated for decades, what should I do? Surrender and eat lawsuits? Or do you go to the point of no return and end up together? You can't do that.

The old smoke pot glanced at Zhu Wanqing, as if she was asking for help, aren't you a princess, hurry up and help.

Zhu Wanqing saw that if the stalemate continued, she was afraid that something would really happen, so she took Wang Qi downstairs together.

The leader of the officers and soldiers is a captain of the guard, and his rank is actually not as high as Zhang Xiaohu.

"Who are you?" The captain was very suspicious when he saw that these people did not flee or panic.

"The old gentleman is with us, there was some misunderstanding just now, please raise your noble hand and make it convenient." Zhu Wanqing said.

"Hmph, what's convenient? You don't think you know who you are, and you don't ask who this Yuelai Building is, and you dare to make trouble here, and you don't know how to die even if you die. The lieutenant said.

"When we first arrived in Guibao Land, we really don't know whose livelihood it is." Zhu Wanqing wanted to hear which way the fairy was.

"Hmph, let me tell you, this restaurant is our Tongxian flower...... Alas, I am guilty of confessing to you, understand? Since you're all together, lock them all up and take them away. With a wave of his hand, the lieutenant motioned for his men to take down these people.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohu immediately stepped forward to block in front of Zhu Wanqing, he gently opened the corner of his shirt with the handle of the knife, revealing his waist card, this trick was still learned from Shen Liang when he was in Langcheng, and the feeling of being a bright identity was still very refreshing.

"Captain of the Ming Jinyi Guard, Zhang Xiaohu." The man read it once, and Zhang Xiaohu thought that they would be shocked, but they were not surprised at all, and their faces did not change and their hearts did not beat.

"What are you doing here? Is there an official letter? The man didn't seem to buy it.

Although he is a captain of both, after all, Jinyiwei is an institution directly under the emperor, and he should be a captain of a local guard center, but this person doesn't care.

Zhang Xiaohu never expected that this trick would be difficult, could it be that this person didn't know what Jinyiwei was doing?

Seeing this, Zhu Wanqing hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game: "This errand official is angry, we don't mean to embarrass the guests just now, it's just that my old man is used to being wild in the woods on weekdays, and it is inevitable that he can't control his temper when he enters the county for the first time, and there are many offended places, and I will pay the shopkeeper compensation." ”

As she spoke, Zhu Wanqing took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "I will compensate you for these dozen tables that have not been paid, have you seen enough?" ”

When the shopkeeper saw fifty taels, he immediately turned his worries into joy.

"Enough, enough, alas, it's all a misunderstanding." After taking the silver ticket, the shopkeeper helped Zhu Wanqing and them, after all, those who do business are all about harmony and wealth.

"Misunderstanding? I don't care what you're up to, pointing a gun at someone is breaking the law, take it away! "The messenger ordered someone to lock up the old smoke pot.

"Stop!" Wang Qi shouted and stepped forward.

"You are ......" The captain saw that this person was familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was, after all, Wang Qi had a lot of vicissitudes in the past few months, his face was a little out of shape, his hair was white, and it was normal to not recognize it.

"It is illegal for him to point a gun at someone, but after all, it was the other party who spoke out first and provoked the incident, and both parties are responsible. Besides, he didn't hurt anyone, so it would be too hasty to arrest someone like this. After all, Wang Qi also served as a county magistrate, and his decision to break the case is justified.

"Where are you? No more nonsense will tie you up! The errand officer pushed Wang Qi away.

"Wait!" Zhu Wanqing had already seen the man's intentions, so she took out another silver ticket of fifty taels.

"It's not easy for you to make a hard trip, so I'll give my brothers some wine and drink with this silver." After that, Zhu Wanqing secretly stuffed the silver ticket into the sleeve of the errand official.

"You're a bribe, I can arrest you." The man said lightly.

"I didn't ask you to do anything, how can I teach bribery? Catch that bad old man, you can catch it, so you don't have to get me into trouble again. This money is my reward for my brothers. Zhu Wanqing said.

"Well, it's kind of a good way, let's talk about what happened just now." The messenger asked the old smoking pot.

"They say I'm Laizi, and I'm here to slander people." When the old smoke pot talked about this, he still didn't fight in one place.

"Then are you a Laizi?" The errand officer asked was tantamount to nonsense, but the passing scene still had to be gone.

"He's an old buddy of mine, sloppy, and inevitably being mistaken for a beggar." Zhu Wanqing deliberately pretended to be disgusted and said.

"Isn't that then?" The messenger gave his men a look.

"Arrest those four people for the crime of sexual nuisance!" The subordinates immediately grabbed the four people in front of the old smoker pot and took them away.

"The official family walks slowly." When the captain left, Zhu Wanqing didn't forget to say hello.

"By the way, Jinyiwei is our own family, and in the realm of this flower master, it will be done as soon as you say hello." The errand officer seemed to remember something, and turned around and explained to Zhang Xiaohu again.
