Yang Dong frowned unconsciously, but Chen Xianling on the side still walked to a prescription table casually.

Soon, the old woman who was in charge of cooking the dishes served a table of dishes, although it was not very exquisite, but compared to the meals of these children, I don't know how much better.

"Two, please hurry up, sit down quickly, the official has prepared some coarse tea and light rice, and please don't dislike it."

Yang Dong and Shu mice glanced at each other, and then sat down in turn.

Liu Sanniang stayed beside them and poured the wine in turn.

Seeing this, Yang Dong couldn't help but say:

"Miss Liu, why don't you sit down together?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire dining hall instantly fell silent.

Chen Xianling, who was sitting on the main seat, changed his face slightly. It's just that he hid it well, and the change in his expression was only fleeting, and he soon resumed a smile on his face.

On the other side, the smile on Liu Sanniang's face froze for a moment. She looked at Yang Dong again, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

At this moment, Chen County's voice sounded again with a hint of majesty in his calmness.

"Xiaoyanagi, since the distinguished guests have already spoken, you can sit down together. Just sit next to your guests, and serve your customers well, understand? ”

When Liu Sanniang heard this, she bit her red lips lightly, but she still had to squeeze out a smile, and said with a slight bow:

"In that case, then I'll have a few drinks with your guests!"

As she spoke, she got up and took lotus steps, walked to Yang Dong's side and sat down.

Seeing this, Chen Xianling's cheeks were full of smiles again.

He raised his glass and said in a loud voice:

"Welcome two distinguished guests from the capital to visit a small place like our Xiongxian County."

"The two distinguished guests don't know that although our Xiongxian County is remote, it is a good place with abundant products!"

"There are all kinds of fresh fruits in the mountains, and walnuts are especially abundant. I don't know what you two have in mind? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong was shocked again.

As the saying goes, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run. Although Yang Dong has not personally experienced it, he also knows that when communicating in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of the discussions are metaphysical things.

It can be said that what is said at the wine table basically has no practical meaning.

But there are very few such straightforward people as Chen County.

However, Yang Dong likes this way of talking very much, which is not only efficient, but also very worry-free.

I saw Yang Dong arch his hand towards Chen Xianling, and said with a serious face:

"To tell you the truth, we didn't come to Xiongxian for traditional business."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xianling's cheeks couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise.

"Is it possible...... What is this guest's opinion? Let's hear it. ”

"I can't talk about it, but I have some personal opinions."

Speaking of this, a sad look suddenly appeared on Yang Dong's cheeks.

He sighed softly, as if he wanted to say something, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed.

……

At the same time, on the other side of the canteen,

Those children gathered around, drinking the vegetable soup in the bowl in small sips, while staring at the direction of Yang Dong and the others, and discussed it with their mouths.

"You said that the old man of the county order, do you want to trick people again this time? Our Xiongxian County is so poor that it jingles, where are there any specialties! ”

"Who says it's not, old things are bad, my father said before, there is no good thing in the county order!"

"I think that brother from the capital is very good-looking, and he is the type that Sanniang likes!"

"Go, go, what does the little girl know! Sanniang is what I like, and when I grow up, I want to marry Sanniang as a daughter-in-law! My mother said that if you are looking for a daughter-in-law, you have to find a big butt. ”

"You just brag about it! When you grow up, Sanniang is already old, and people are not much younger than your mother! ”

"My mother said that I grew up fast, and I could marry my mother-in-law after twelve. When the time comes, let my mother propose to Sanniang! ”

……

"What is there to hide, why don't you tell me about it?"

Chen Xianling picked up the teacup and took a sip, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

Liu Sanniang sat next to Yang Dong, with a pair of autumn eyes, also with a little curiosity.

Yang Dong pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Actually...... It's not a high opinion, but Xiongxian County, with an excellent geographical location, happens to be the only way to pass through the same Youzhou and Pingzhou. ”

It's a pity that on weekdays, most of the businessmen who come and go do not stop in Xiongxian County, but would rather walk a night road to a nearby village. Do you know what the prefectural magistrate is? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xian made that old face blush with an extremely rare flush.

He pinched the teacup a little crampedly, then sighed and said slowly:

"Alas...... Speaking of which, this matter is indeed to blame! Near Xiongxian County, there are often bandits. The officer personally led the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, but with little success. ”

The merchants, fearing that they would be plundered by the bandits, hurried away at dawn. Over time, Xiongxian County was unattended. ”

Yang Dong listened to the explanation of the county order of Chen, and quietly looked at the county order.

At this moment, he was even a little skeptical, whether this county order would be with the bandits!

After all, compared to the children around him who were malnourished at first glance, although Chen Xianling was not fat-headed and big-eared, his body bones looked quite tough.

"In that case, why don't you think of a way to change the status quo?"

Yang Dong asked again, but what he got was a helpless wry smile.

"You don't know, these bandits...... I can't move! ”

Chen Xianling said, and sighed again.

"Alas...... The origin of these bandits is not something that our small Xiongxian County can provoke. ”

Speaking of this, his words changed sharply, and he added:

"If you want to do warehousing business, you are afraid that you will be disappointed. With these bandits here, it is impossible for the merchants to stay in Xiongxian County. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, a flash of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

What can be the origin of some bandits?

He glanced at Shu Mouse on the side, and Shu Mouse immediately felt his heart skip a beat.

Fortunately, he was quite concerned about the affairs of the West Factory, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:

"Childe, the bandits in this Xiongxian County have been counted for a hundred years! The main reason for this is desertion. ”

Hearing the word deserter, Chen Xianling's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He didn't expect that the distinguished guests from the capital even knew the inside story of the bandits.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Yang Dong twice.

Yang Dong frowned slightly, and looked deeply at this Chen County Commander.

At this moment, he was seventy percent sure that there must be some kind of connection between this Chen County Commander and those bandits.

Next...... It depends on how the county magistrate speaks.

I saw that after Chen Xianling groaned slightly, he spoke again:

"The distinguished guest has been prepared for a long time, but it has made the old man ugly."
