Chapter 40: The second-grade master eats white food
Wait until the two of them have eaten and drunk enough, and it is past noon. Da Kui didn't dare to delay when he had something in his heart, so he called his guys to settle the bill.
This guy is also a delicate person, and when he saw Da Kui coming over in a hurry to settle the bill, he had a smile on his face. In the past, diners would be rewarded from time to time when they were happy to eat, and Da Kui was dressed in a silk and red robe, so this reward must be indispensable.
Da Kui's face suddenly turned red when he put his hand into his arms, and there was nothing in his arms, but where did he have the money to settle the bill? Da Kui timidly asked Yang Xiaohu: "Do you have any money with you?"
Yang Xiaohu drank tea and shook his head, Da Kui secretly hated why he was so careless, and he forgot his money bag in the Jiahe Post House when he went out. I knew that I had no money, and I forgot about it along the way. actually took Yang Xiaohu to the largest restaurant in the town to eat and drink, this meal cost less than two taels of silver, but how is it good?
Da Kui asked with a smile that was brighter than the guy, "How much?" The guy smiled and said, "Two or seven cents of silver." Da Kui sighed and said, "Please call the shopkeeper, the official has something to say." The guy was a little puzzled: "Objectively dissatisfied with this table?"
Da Kui smiled: "Satisfied, I just want to discuss with your shopkeeper." The official went out in a hurry this time, forgot to bring the money, and asked if he could take credit. "The guy is estimated to be from Sichuan, and he is good at changing faces. After a pause, his face turned cloudy: "Objectively dare to eat white food?" Da Kui hurriedly defended: "No, no, no, this official is just taking credit and not eating for nothing." ”
The guy nodded and said, "Okay, you wait." Then he turned and walked away.
Yang Xiaohu hurriedly asked, "My lord, you don't have any money with you?" Da Kui said, "Well, but it's okay." It would be good for the official to make it clear to the shopkeeper. Yang Xiaohu complimented: "An adult is an adult, and you can take credit for dinner." ”
Da Kui smiled and said: "The officials in all parts of Jiangnan are all subordinates of their own officials, so it's not a matter of just one meal." Yang Xiaohu secretly cocked his thumb, and said in his heart that he had followed the right person, and wherever he went in the future, he would be majestic.
The guy ran downstairs to find the shopkeeper in front of the cabinet and whispered: "The one upstairs in a red robe is here to eat white food, so let's get an idea." The shopkeeper was looking down and making calculations, and was stunned when he heard this. looked out of the door before saying, "The master went to the county seat, and it is estimated that he will come back in the next half a day." After a pause, he asked, "Can this man bring an entourage?" The man replied, "Only one person, and he looks like a soldier." ”
The shopkeeper muttered: "Look at that person in a red robe, he should be a big official, the county magistrate of this county still needs to be hugged when he goes out, but this person only has an entourage and is a soldier, well." The shopkeeper thought about it again and again and said: "But whenever an official travels, there must be a waist token." You go and ask him if he has it, don't be presumptuous. ”
The guy agreed and turned around and went upstairs again, Da Kui's waist card was bet on the post station, but where could he get the token. The guy went downstairs again and said to the shopkeeper, "I asked, but he couldn't show it." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth when he heard this: "This is fake, you don't have to make a noise to find someone, today you have to ask him to eat as much as I want to spit out." "Okay. "The guy walked out of the store...
In this gap, Da Kui and Yang Xiaohu talked and laughed loudly, saying that they had beheaded Pang Zhidong, the county magistrate, in Jiahe County. It was very majestic, and Yang Xiaohu couldn't stop clapping his hands.
The two waited for a long time and didn't see the shopkeeper coming, Yang Xiaohu couldn't help but wonder. Da Kui took a sip of tea and said: "This official is in the second grade, I think the store went to invite the county commander to come and visit." Yang Xiaohu suddenly realized.
After a while, the guy from the previous shop came upstairs.
Behind him, more than a dozen strong men rushed up, all carrying whistle sticks. There were also a few cooks in the room, all carrying rice spoons and rolling pins in their hands.
Where has Yang Xiaohu seen this formation, Da Kui saw that so many people rushed up, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop." The people who rushed upstairs were shocked. Da Kui hugged his fists and said: "The official really didn't bring any money, and asked the owner of the store to come out and speak." ”
The shopkeeper pointed to the stick in his hand and said, "My master is not here, if you have something to tell him, call me." When Yang Xiaohu saw everyone rushing up, he raised his hand and lifted the table. First, a strong man took a whistle stick and hit Da Kui, only to see Yang Xiaohu jump up and kick the man in the chest.
The man was kicked and took three steps back and sat down on the ground. Da Kui hurriedly shouted: "Xiaohu, don't do it." As soon as Yang Xiaohu's feet landed, he picked up a chair and glared at everyone: "Do you want them to fight?" Da Kui sighed: "Hey, the mouth of eating people is short." It was our fault in the first place. Before the words fell, the shopkeeper smiled gloomily and said, "Count your acquaintance, call me." ”
Da Kui said at first sight: "Jump out of the window and go first" said as he stretched out his hand to open the two whistle sticks, but Yang Xiaohu refused to go, lifted his leg and kicked down a person and shouted: "The adults go first, and the subordinates will break off." Da Kui said angrily: "Hurry up." As he spoke, he raised a chair but parried and didn't fight back. Yang Xiaohu threw the chair helplessly, turned his head, turned over, jumped out of the attic window and jumped downstairs. Da Kui saw it and secretly praised: "Agile and light like a swallow, I really didn't see the wrong person." ”
Seeing that Yang Xiaohu was out of danger, Da Kui also threw the chair aside, jumped out of the attic window and walked out of the restaurant. As soon as the two of them were downstairs, they went to the stake in front of the restaurant to grab the horses, but the shopkeeper of the horses was carrying a stick to block the way.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaohu was about to move, but Da Kui stretched out his hand and said, "Forget it, the horse has the right to be used as food money, let's go." After that, he pulled Yang Xiaohu and turned around and left, and at this time, more than ten people upstairs the guys and rushed downstairs.
Da Kui didn't dare to delay, and pulled Xiaohu to rush out of the town. I didn't want to run head-on, five fast horses, and immediately there were soldiers with helmets and armor and knives on their waists. One of the first men rode on his horse and shouted from afar, "Stop." Da Kui couldn't help but be startled, and pulled Xiaohu to stand in place.
Behind him, everyone in the restaurant had just caught up, and the fast horse had already arrived. As soon as the first general reined in the horse, the angry horse man stood up, and everyone was surprised and did not dare to come forward.
The general calmed the mount under his crotch, turned over and dismounted, came to the crowd with a knife on his waist, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The previous shopkeeper came to the front of the crowd and said with a smile: "Official Fan came just in time, these two went to the restaurant to eat white food and beat the guys." Unexpectedly, when this Fan official raised his hand, it was a big-eared scraper and a five-finger fan, and there was a 'snap' sound. I turned this guy around three times, and when he stood firm, he was already starring, and he didn't know what year it was!
The general surnamed Fan turned around and knelt on one knee towards Da Kuiqu, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Fan Zhongqi, the junior general of Tiantai County, saw the general political envoy. Seeing this, the people around threw it away, and the guy in his hand fell to his knees.
Da Kui hurriedly stepped forward to help the captain and said, "General Fan came just in time, what a crime." After that, he asked in a low voice: "Can you have silver taels on you?" Fan Zhongqi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I am just a lieutenant in the lower ranks, and I don't dare to take the name of a general." As he spoke, he reached into his bosom and took out the money bag and the waist card that Da Kui had left at the post station, and presented it with both hands.
