On the table in front of him, the mountain-like slices of mutton were stacked in a large bowl, fat and white and lean powder, sprinkled with seasonings, and the chopsticks stirred gently, the smoke rose, and the meat slices almost wanted to be squeezed out of the big bowl, so they had to protect it with their left hand.

Li Qingxian remembered that he had seen this person before, and the first time he came to eat haggis with Zheng Hui and them, he met this person.

At that time, Zheng Hui was very unhappy when he saw this person, and Li Qingxian asked Zheng Hui afterwards, Zheng Hui said that he didn't know him, and he never understood why Zheng Hui looked at this person's face wrong.

Li Qingxian saw that the other tables were too crowded, so he walked to the person and sat down opposite him, and shouted: "Lao Zhang, have a big bowl of mutton soup, plus a cut bun, and then help choose a salted duck egg with oil." ”

"Okay...... Yo, this official, I haven't seen it before. What else do you command? Lao Zhang's father and son hurriedly came over, it is rare for officials from Jiupin to come here.

"I'm a friend of Zheng Hui, I came last time, leave me alone, it's business as usual." Li Qing said leisurely.

"Okay! Large bowl of mutton soup, chopped white buns, a salted duck egg! ”

"Hello, sir." The one on the other side removed the stool from the left foot of the ten-rank military attaché, clenched his hands into fists, and his whole body was uncomfortable.

"Hmm." Li Qingxian was influenced by Zheng Hui and didn't bother to pay attention to this person.

While waiting for the mutton soup, Li Qingxian looked at the others, and smoke rose from each table.

The mutton and haggis in other people's bowls are less than those in the military attaché's bowl opposite.

After a while, Lao Zhang came with two large bowls and a small bowl, and his son wiped the table clean and put them on one by one.

Li Qingxian looked at the mutton soup in front of him and was stunned.

His mutton soup was exactly the same as that of the military attache opposite, full of mountains and piles of hills, and if he wanted to stir it, he had to protect it with his hands.

Li Qingxian glanced at the half-eaten mutton soup of the military attache opposite, and then looked at the new mutton soup of the others.

The newly served mutton and haggis are not in the bowl, which is less than the current bowl of the military attaché.

One bowl of meat is comparable to three or four bowls of others.

Li Qingxian glanced at the wall again.

A bowl of haggis soup is five yuan, and a bowl of mutton soup is fifteen yuan.

Li Qing stayed idle for a while, and finally understood why Team Zheng didn't bring people to eat often, and why he only ordered haggis soup instead of mutton soup.

finally understood why Team Zheng glared at this person that day.

Li Qingxian silently picked up the spicy seeds and peppers and sprinkled them, ate some of the mutton first, and then slowly poured in the chopped white buns.

I took the salted duck egg, gently crushed the eggshell, and peeled it slowly.

"My lord, I'm done eating, you can eat well."

The military attache on the opposite side stood up and looked at Li Qingxian with a smile.

"You sit down first, I'll have something to tell you in a moment." Li Qingxian blackened his face and broke open the salted duck egg, the yolk was bubbling with oil.

"Huh? Be. The man shrunk his head and sat on the bench, secretly looking at Li Qingxian, and no longer sat in the same way as before.

Li Qingxian slowly finished eating mutton, white buns and salted duck eggs, the soup also bottomed out, and the mana of his right hand surged, brushing the side of his mouth, clean and clean.

Li Qingxian raised his eyes and glanced at the military attache who was sitting in a precarious position.

"What's your name?"

"Xiaguan Zhong Baishan."

"Serving in the Division of Horses and Horses?"

"Yes, I served as the captain of the Terracotta Division in the Western District."

"How much does it cost to eat a bowl of mutton soup?"

"Fifteen pieces of mutton soup and two pieces of white buns. Give enough money every time. Zhong Baishan Road.

Li Qingxian nodded and said, "Let's pay." ”

"My lord, I'll invite you to this meal." Zhong Baishan Road.

Li Qing glanced at Zhong Baishan with a smile, and his face suddenly turned red.

Both paid their own money.

"Follow me."

Li Qing was idle in front and walked a few steps into the alley not far away.

Zhong Baishan's face was full of sorrow, and he cautiously entered the alley.

Li Qingxian turned around, looked at Zhong Baishan, and said, "How many times a month have you come?" ”

"More than a dozen times, his meat is really delicious, and the portion is sufficient."

"How is the old Zhang family's business?"

"The business is very good, but no matter how good the business is on this street, not all the money is your own, and after all kinds of fees are paid, there is not much in hand." Zhong Baishan Road.

"I won't use my official position to pressure you, let's discuss something, in the future, you are not allowed to come to Zhang Ji, how about it?"

A teenager looking at a thirty-year-old middle-aged man.

Zhong Baishan looked dazed, didn't know what was going on, and nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, my lord, if you say you won't come, then I won't come!" If you have anything else to command, I will do it. ”

"No need, you don't want to go in the future." Li Qing said leisurely.

"Okay!" Zhong Baishan nodded.

"Go ahead." Li Qing said leisurely.

"Resignation." Zhong Baishan saluted, left with a puzzled face, and thought all the way.

Li Qingxian glanced at the "Zhang Ji" guise wafting in the wind, remembered the four bowls of hot haggis soup that day, sighed lightly, turned around and walked back to the Yewei Yamen.

Walking into the door of Room A 9, Li Qingxian stood still.

I saw that Zheng Hui's empty bed was sitting with a hunched back and a strange figure.

The man looked up, with white hair and a wrinkled face.

Li Qing was stunned, he hadn't seen him for a day, Zheng Hui's hair was gray, and he seemed to be more than ten years old.

"Leisure...... Team Lee...... Do my brother a favor and save the official. ”

Zheng Hui stood up, hunched his back and bent over, his hands trembling, and looked at Li Qingxian with tears in his eyes.

Li Qingxian took three steps and two steps over, supported him, and said, "Team Zheng, don't worry, sit down first, and tell me what's going on." ”

Zheng Hui nodded, stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his red eyes, and said: "Just yesterday, the official's friend said that he was arrested by the people of the Western District Terracotta Division. My friend is as good as me, but he doesn't have a good face, and he can't see anyone. My friend told me not to worry, he inquired first. It wasn't until the evening that I found out that the ninth rank of a soldier and horse division I had offended before had been promoted to the eighth grade, and I knew that I had been abolished dantian, so I found someone who had fought with the big official before to be the bitter master, and arrested the big official to go in. ”

"I see." Li Qing said leisurely.

Zheng Hui continued: "I thought that I would just take a soft accompaniment and forget about it, so I scraped together a sum of money and asked my friend to give it to that person, and said that I was willing to take the blame. The man took the money, but didn't say anything, and kicked my friend out. My friend asked me to wait again, and this morning he sent a letter saying that he had done his best, and the man would not let go. Only then did I understand that the man was afraid that he was going to kill the official. I found a few friends of the night guard, but either they weren't there, or I couldn't help it, I was desperate, so I came to you. Team Li, I, Zheng Hui, didn't ask you for anything, this time, I beg you to ......"

Zheng Hui was in tears, crying and kneeling.

Li Qingxian lifted his hands, grabbed Zheng Hui, didn't let him kneel, and said, "Team Zheng, don't worry, the big official must be saved." But I don't know anything about the Terracotta Division, and I don't know their people, so I can't rush there. I'll send someone to find Brother Han, he will definitely have an idea. ”

"Yes, yes, look for Ambo, he's a man who understands." Zheng Hui said.

Li Qingxian comforted Zheng Hui, and then called people in the street patrol room, found three idle people, handed out a few taels of silver, and asked them to hurry up and go to the Huangji Teahouse on Yajie Street to find Han Anbo back.

Zheng Hui was in a mess, sighing, Li Qingxian had to comfort him and take the time to think about how to save people.
