Chapter 354: The Deceased

Order the dishes, and the shopkeeper goes out to prepare. The book lover building asked for a total of two tables and other seats, and it was a waist card to win people, which was not small, and it needed to be served.

The shopkeeper nodded and waited for the order, with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Xu Miao waved his hand and said:

"You go and get busy with yours, leave us alone, let's come over for a meal."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "The girl has nothing to say?"

"Well......" Xu Miao thought for a while, and then said, "In this case, the restaurant is closed, you go to the Tianzifang of the Xunshan Inn, I have something to ask you." ”

"Okay girl, the little one will go first." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

In the private room, there were once again three of their master and servant left.

Xu Miao looked at Gao Feng and didn't speak, and the latter walked forward in seconds, clasped his fists and saluted, and said:

"That Xiaocui, what she muttered just now means that she is the county master, and she doesn't kneel. The subordinates think it should have something to do with her father's drumming and complaining. went to report to the official, originally wanted the county master to call the shots, but he didn't expect it to be a county magistrate to interrogate. ”

"It must be, they all say, 'If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and bake sweet potatoes'. I think this county lord should go home and roast sweet potatoes. Qinghe poured tea as he spoke, and then brought it to Xu Miao.

took the teacup, looked at Qinghe who was full of unevenness, and sighed heavily without squeaking. They didn't know anything about that little cui now, but they just heard her say something about her background.

As for the rest of the story, I still have to wait for the dark guard to come back, or the restaurant owner goes to the inn late to ask for details. Xu Zhengjiang is so tormented, why hasn't Ziheng taken care of it? Is there some kind of trouble?!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gao Feng, and then suppressed his thoughts. Even if he has any trouble, I believe he won't tell her, and this Gao Feng has been following her, and he definitely doesn't know, asking is tantamount to asking in vain.

For now, only she will deal with this Xu Zhengjiang. If Xu Zhengjiang is allowed to toss like this, it will be light to charge the army and distribute it, and I am afraid that I am afraid of the nine clans, it will be troublesome. Although they are now of different identities and have separated families, there is an indisputable fact there, that is:

They are all surnamed Xu and are relatives of the same family.

If the Holy Saint is to blame, even if there is Flashflash and Isen, they can still cure your sin. Not to mention...... There are a lot of sisters and brothers who are red, and when the time comes, there are only a few who are afraid of the snow and charcoal, and all of them fall into the well.

What does Ouyang Minrui want to do? actually came to be a backer for him, what was the idea. This Xu Zhengjiang is really fat, whitebait is a tribute, he actually eats ten catties a day, and the house already has eight aunts.

In the past two years, he has lived a really infinite life!

Looking at the tea in the cup, I took it to my eyes, looked at the pale green color inside, and slowly drank it.

The door of the private room opened, and the shopkeeper came in with food, and before he could eat it, the fresh smell went straight to his nose. Qinghe was innocent and greedily took several puffs. Even Gao Feng, who has always been steady, smelled this smell a few times unreservedly.

The shopkeeper put the food on the table, pointed to the blue and white porcelain sea bowl, and said:

"Girl, this dish is our specialty whitebait tofu soup. You smell it, isn't it particularly delicious? ”

"Well, it's pretty fresh." Xu Miao was not stingy, nodded and said praisefully.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he grinned and said, "If this whitebait weren't for our uncle, it wouldn't be a tribute at all." ”

"Oh? How do you say that? When Xu Miao heard this, she was immediately interested. looked at the shopkeeper with one hand on his cheek, and motioned for him to continue.

After the shopkeeper put the food away, he stood a little farther away from the table and said:

"The girl doesn't know, it seems that it was the year before last, and the uncle came to check the accounts. Then we were given this soup, and a soft-fried baby whitebait. The uncle ate well, and thought he could send some into the palace to try. ”

"The big boss of the Nangong family happened to be there at that time, and told the uncle that he wanted to get this together. But there are a little twists and turns, it's with the second parents, as for what's going on, I don't know. ”

"Later, the matter of this tribute was put on hold, and in the spring of the next year, the uncle came over in person and took a hundred catties away, no one knew about it, and we didn't say anything about it." When the shopkeeper said this, he looked a little proud.

"It didn't take long for the imperial court to approve it, saying that this silverfish would be paid tribute every year. It was originally a good thing, and everyone should be doing very well, after all, the price given by the imperial court is not expensive, but ...... Alas! Who would have thought that the second father and mother are all black, not only squeezing the price, but also limiting the quantity, and the sea area is also fenced to prevent fishermen from catching ......"

After the shopkeeper explained what happened in detail, Xu Miao listened to it for a long time without squeaking. The second father and mother are the local dialect here in Jiaoyang County, the county master is the parent of the county, and the county is the second father and mother.

Xu Zhengjiang restricted fishermen from fishing on the grounds of imperial court tribute, so the number of whitebait was very small. Most of the silver taels allocated by the imperial court went into Xu Zhengjiang's pocket, and it is unknown whether he was filial to Ouyang Minrui.

What's more, he relied on the fact that he was San Lang's uncle, and he showed off his power here.

Gao Feng saw that Xu Miao had not spoken, and waved his hand at the shopkeeper, who nodded in understanding, saluted Xu Miao with a fist, and turned around and went out. Qinghe stretched out his hand and nudged Xu Miao, and persuaded him:

"Girl, don't be so anxious, it's not that you don't report it, it's not time yet. It doesn't hurt to let him bounce for a few days, let's ......"

"Alas!" Xu Miao came back to his senses, looked at the two of them and said, "Sit down and eat together, Gao Feng don't go next door to eat with those secret guards." When Izumito was alive, we all ate together when we went out. ”

"Yes, my subordinates listen to the girl's orders." After Gao Feng finished speaking, he sat a little farther away from Xu Miao. Qinghe sat next to Xu Miao and helped scoop the soup.

Xu Miao looked at the delicate dishes on the table, thought for a while, and said:

"The second father and mother of Jiaoyang County...... It's really my uncle. ”

When Gao Feng and Qinghe heard this, their eyes immediately widened. Xu Miao was also panicked, and told them about the bad things in her family. If it was Luhe and Quandong, she didn't need to say it at all, but these two ...... Since you have decided to take it with you in the future, there is no need to hide it.

While eating, he talked about the things at home briefly. Qinghe listened, frowned, pouted, and looked angry. Although Gao Feng didn't say anything, his face was quite bad.

With another pair of clean chopsticks, she took the braised pork a little farther away from Xu Miao, put it in her bowl, and said, "Girl, eat first." For the rest, let's take a long-term view. ”

"Yes, girl, let's eat first." Qinghe also persuaded, "Fortunately, let's come to Jiaoyang County to rest, otherwise I don't know what will happen." The eldest young master shouldn't know either, otherwise he would have dealt with it earlier. ”

Xu Miao reached out and tapped the tip of her nose when she heard this, but her mood was much better. I didn't plan to rest here, but now that I have rested, it's not a good thing.

Half an hour later, Xu Miao and the three of them walked out of the restaurant. After a few days of running, everyone is tired. It's a good thing to eat and drink enough and get a good night's sleep in the afternoon.

Back at the inn, Xiao Cui and the dark guard have not returned, but in the lobby, there is a rare guest, who can be said to be an old man. The shopkeeper's Qian Er was respectful to him, and when he saw Xu Miao coming back, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said:

"The girl is back, this Master Xu...... Find your ......"

"yes, I see. Take him to the conference room and wait for me, you have this place here. Xu Miao has a cool face, and his aura is very powerful.

Seeing this, Qian Er hurriedly nodded, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Some girls, the little ones will take you there." ”

Saying that, walking ahead, Xu Miao squinted at Xu Zhengjiang, then glanced at Gao Feng and followed. Xu Zhengjiang got up and followed with his entourage, but the entourage was pointed out by Gao Feng and froze in place.

Seeing this, Xu Zhengjiang frowned and was about to scold, but he held back. If you don't learn to be obedient at this time, the past three years or so can be regarded as a wasted mess. Flicked his sleeves angrily and followed. Gao Feng looked at Qinghe and said:

"You go and prepare refreshments, I'll accompany the girl."

"Got it, you go quickly." After Qinghe finished speaking, he stepped to the back kitchen.

……

Inside the conference room

Xu Miao sat in the main seat, and after Qian Er settled them, he turned around and went out in a witty way. Xu Zhengjiang looked at Xu Miao, although he was very unhappy with her attitude, but he didn't dare to talk about her like in the countryside.

Today's Sister Miao is the imperial merchant of the imperial court, Yi Shan and Xun Shan are all from their family, but they should be jealous. Xu Miao tapped her fingers on the table and didn't speak, Gao Feng stood beside her, Qinghe walked in from outside, holding refreshments in his hand, and went out to bring the door after putting it away.

Xu Miao said slowly: "I haven't seen you for more than three years, you look like a dog." ”

"You-" Xu Zhengjiang didn't expect her to not even call her uncle, and she spoke so ugly. Gritting back molars, creaking.

"How am I? Xu Zhengjiang, Xu Zhengjiang, you are also from the countryside, since you are an official, don't say that you are the master of the people, how can you still rob men and women, loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and even the silver taels of the imperial court, you dare to be greedy, you don't want to live, do you? Bang-"

When Xu Miao said this, he angrily picked up the teacup directly and threw it in his direction. Xu Zhengjiang turned his head to dodge, and the cup fell to the ground in response, which completely angered him, and he slapped the table directly and got up, then stretched out his hand to point at her, and said:

"Do you still have elders in your eyes? Uneducated girl, am I too special to let you? ”
