Chapter 18: The night is dark, and people are greedy for joy
"Yes, but today you Lai Fifth Master damaged all the property in my store and all the losses caused to my inn, and tomorrow I will personally go to the General's Mansion to ask for it. Zhang Hai said domineeringly, his tone full of strength.
"You are the king of the eight who eat the scales and have an iron heart, and you sincerely want to get along with me, right? Lai Wuye said angrily.
"Whether I made it difficult for you to make things difficult today, or did you deliberately find fault with Fifth Master Lai, I think everyone knows each other in their hearts, so there is no need to break it. If you want to seal my little inn, I'm afraid I won't be able to seal it, so I won't keep you, and I won't send it if you go slowly. ”
"Hmph, let's see. ”
Looking at the people who had not yet had the slightest intention of leaving, Zhang Hai said: "You don't plan to leave yet, are you going to stay overnight, if you are ready to stay overnight, I naturally welcome it." If not, every extra moment you stay will affect the business of my inn for a quarter of an hour, and then please pay one or two taels of silver per hour. Little Zhuozi, come and count the time to collect the cashier. ”
"Hey, here's the shopkeeper. Xiao Er hurriedly replied and trotted up to meet him.
Lai Wuye's face darkened, when did he suffer such a wretched spirit, since he became this gatekeeper general, which person dared not give him face, which high-ranking official of the state capital dared to show him color, he roared angrily: "Collect the troops." ”
A cadre of people hurriedly followed Lai Wuye out, for fear that he would be caught up by the shopkeeper to collect the cashier if he walked slowly.
Lai Wuye, who walked out of the store, instructed his subordinates: "Every two of you take turns on duty, keep an eye on this inn for me, if you see the kid who hurt my third brother, come and report to me immediately, don't let him run away for me at night." ”
"Yes, Fifth Master. The crowd answered.
"Qianyang, you go to find a painter to lead the third master to paint a portrait, you must keep an eye on me. Lai Wu said as he turned over and got on his horse.
"Fifth Master, this matter is on me, don't worry. I promise that if the madman dares to walk out of the inn door, I'll find it. A small soldier said.
"Hmm. I'll go first, and the fifth master will leave the rest of the matter to you, and go to the old place to find me if you have something. With that, he rode his horse into the depths of the bustling street, riding into the dust.
He felt very aggrieved, and there were countless anger in his heart that wanted to gush out, and he needed to vent the anger in his heart. , he wanted to go to Yihong Courtyard in the north of the city to see his Xiaoru immediately, and when he thought about her graceful body, he couldn't help but be excited.
"Yes, Fifth Master, the little one has been written down. Fifth master, you go slowly. The thin soldier shouted at the figure of Lai Wu, who had already left, and then gave another instruction to the rest of the people.
Zhang Hai looked at the officers and soldiers who walked out, and hurriedly apologized to the onlookers in the inn: "You guest officers are really embarrassed today, which frightened you. I have prepared a small gift, and I will order someone to send them one by one later, and I ask you to smile. ”
"The shopkeeper is polite. Everyone said in a gossiping voice.
"Rest assured, as long as you live in the Yuelai Inn, it is the trust of our Yuelai Inn's golden signboard, whether you are a high-ranking official or a wanted felon, anyone who embarrasses you in the inn is unable to get along with my Yuelai Inn, and my Yuelai Inn will do everything in its power to protect your safety. Then he saluted everyone and said, "Little Zhuozi, hurry up and send the gifts to the rooms of the guest officers." After speaking, he walked straight to Murong Yu upstairs.
Xiao Zhuozi responded: "Okay, shopkeeper, I'll do it right away." ”
Murong Yu looked at the shopkeeper walking towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you for the shopkeeper's intervention to solve the matter just now." Otherwise, I'm afraid Xiaosheng will have to fight again. ”
Zhang Hai said with a smile: "Murong Gongzi said that he laughed, it should be that I thank you, otherwise I would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of this matter to establish my authority." Then he paused again, "I'm afraid there are a lot of soldiers guarding outside the inn tonight, and I'm afraid it won't be convenient to go out at this time." Otherwise, Murong Gongzi can go out to enjoy the moon and watch the scenery, there have been a lot of activities and feasts in the CD Mansion recently, and the night view is also very good-looking. ”
"That's fine, these soldiers don't have to fear me, if I want to go out, they won't stop me. ”
"Having said that, even though Childe is superb in martial arts, if he goes out alone, I am afraid that there will be many inconveniences, and he will not be able to have fun. If the son does not dislike it, the old man is willing to accompany the son for a walk, and also take the opportunity to go out to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside. ”
"That's very good. ”
Zhang Hai instructed the junior next to him, and then led Murong Yu to the backyard.
There was a carriage in the backyard, and the coachman was waiting. The position of the royal car is a black cloth mat.
Seeing the shopkeeper coming, the coachman hurriedly greeted him: "Shopkeeper, is this going out?"
"Take me and Murong Gongzi to the night market. ”
"Okay. ”
The coachman lifted the curtain and helped the two men into the carriage, which was not very large, but it was also very spacious, and there was a long table clinging to the seats on either side, and the two sat down without looking crowded.
Murong Yu opened his mouth and said, "Shopkeeper, is this night market you just mentioned a place?"
"The son is polite, if you look at the old man in the future, just call the old man Zhang Hai. ”
Murong Yu skillfully avoided this topic and said modestly, "Old Zhang, you are too polite, you always call Gongzi Gongzi, it's awkward." In this way, you can just call me Xiao Yu in the future. ”
"That's good Xiao Yu, how old is I to you, if you don't mind, just call me brother!" Zhang Hai said with a smile.
Murong Yu couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "How old are you, you are obviously dozens of years old! You are almost older than my senior brother." But he still shouted honestly, "Brother." “
"Hahaha, okay, it's my brother who took advantage of you. If there is anything you need to help with in the future, just ask. Brother doesn't dare to say that black and white are mixed, at least in some small things, I can still help you a little. ”
"I'll have to rely on my brother more in the future, I don't know if I'm going to trouble you one day. ”
Zhang Hai smiled heartily, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, as long as the elder brother does his best, the elder brother will go all out to help." Then he said, "Xiao Yu, the night market you just mentioned is one of the night scenes of this capital, mainly a market for trading at night, which sells food, street performances, lanterns, moon viewing, etc., but it is also very lively, and the liveliness is no worse than that during the day." This night market is also the most prosperous area in the capital, and the security conditions are also the best, because it is close to the residence of the government officials, but there are few public security incidents. You can see that the streets are brilliantly lit, bustling, full of people, and even more lively than during the day. ”
As he spoke, the carriage reached its destination, and the coachman parked the carriage on the side of the road and waited.
The two stepped out of the carriage and walked along the crowded street.
At this time, the night was thick, and the night covered the sky like ink, telling an indescribable sorrow with a sad and pathetic mood.
The brightly lit streets, the shops are lined up, the tourists are weaving endlessly, and the cries of all kinds of selling are endless, just like a peaceful and prosperous image, without any at all.
The stars are shining above the sky, and the stars are circulating, which is very beautiful.
The two of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the road, unaware that two or three soldiers were following them in the distance, which was obviously the subordinates arranged by Lai Wu who were watching.
