Chapter 24: Taiping Restaurant's Clever Investigation

Besides, Zheng Erhu did not move until the situation was unknown.

A few shrewd and capable spies he sent out came back one after another, and basically figured out the ins and outs of the matter: "It turned out that King Tengger ordered people to finish the grass in the Taiping Ranch seven days ago, and dry it for a few days, and then bundle and load the carts, a total of 30 wooden wheeled carts, under the leadership of a guard captain of the Tengger King, led more than 20 guards to set off from the Taiping Ranch, and walked through Taiping Village to the capital in the south.

When the carriage walked out of Taiping Village for more than 30 miles, it suddenly encountered a large group of masked bandits, the group of bandits was about seventy or eighty people, all of them were not ordinary in martial arts, after a desperate struggle, the guards of King Tengger were outnumbered and all were killed. There was a coach in every wagon, who was hired, and was already frightened at the sight of the battle, but fortunately the bandits did not kill them. It wasn't until dark that the bandits drove the wagons away, and it was not clear where the wagons had gone. Later, King Tengger was also surprised when he received a report from his subordinates, so he sent a fast horse to report the case to the Lucao County Government. It is said that Liu Ziwen, the magistrate of Lucao County, personally led a large force to march here, and the forward officer was the land dragon of Lucao County.

After listening to the report, Zheng Erhu thought to himself that the road was really narrow, and this time Lao Tzu was going to take the opportunity to kill Liu Ziwen!

So, the next day, Erhu took a personal soldier Xiaozhuzi, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, pretended to be the son and brother of a wealthy family and his entourage, and walked into Taiping Village.

Taiping Village is a small village, located at the junction of Mongolia and Han. The traffic is developed, the business is prosperous, and there are many shops on the streets of the village. People come and go, people in all kinds of costumes come and go.

Zheng Erhu shook a fan in his hand and walked into a big restaurant called "Taiping Restaurant" that could both stay and eat, and Xiaozhu followed closely behind.

When the hotel owner and the beautiful proprietress saw Erhu's dress and temperament, they knew that they were a rich boy, so they were extremely warm and polite to them. Especially the young and beautiful proprietress smiled at Zhang Jianfeng and smiled charmingly, revealing a mouth full of neat white teeth, and walked out of the counter. He walked in front of Erhu with small steps, and asked crisply: "Oh, Mr. is here?

Erhu turned his face up. Reserved and silent. In fact, the afterglow of his big eyes had long been observing the expressions of the boss lady and the boss and their every move.

Xiao Zhuzi said: "This is the young son of the shopkeeper of Dafa Medicine Store in our provincial capital, do you have a room?"

"Hey, it turned out to be a noble son from the provincial capital, what a rare guest, Xiao Er, hurry up and clean a spacious upper room, the distinguished guest is here!" the proprietress shouted with a smile on her face.

I heard someone say over there, "It's been cleaned up a long time ago." Fresh luggage, let the guests come over!"

Erhu and Xiaozhu walked in. After washing, the proprietress came over and asked, "Tong Gongzi, our inn is also a hotel, you can only order what you want to eat, just order: there are smoked chicken and roast duck, steak roast lamb, pork stewed vermicelli and ......"

Erhu interrupted her and said, "Don't care what, only pick eight meat dishes and eight vegetarian dishes." ”

"Okay, you later. When the proprietress heard Erhu's words, she stuck out her tongue in fright, thinking that this boy is really rich and generous. She was just about to withdraw, but she turned around and glanced at Erhu again, and smiled charmingly and said, "Young Master Tong, you haven't ordered any wine yet, what do you want to drink?"

Erhu thought for a while and said: "This place is at the junction of Mongolia and Han, so you have to drink something with local characteristics, come to a pound of Mongolian old roast bar." ”

"Alright. The woman readily agreed, and walked out.

After the two tigers and the little beads were full of wine and food, they walked out into the street, first, to walk around, to get acquainted with the topography of the village, and secondly, to try to find some clues. However, they walked from east to west, from south street to north street, but they found nothing.

Then he returned to the inn and rested for a while. When it was time for dinner, Erhu and Xiaozhuzi walked into the inn's hotel again. At noon, he and Xiaozhu were eating in the guest room. In the evening, I want to try my luck at the hotel while having a meal.

Erhu shook the fan in a dashing manner and swaggered in, followed by the small beads. Entering the hall of the tavern, Erhu looked at it, and saw a large round table crowded around a group of people who guessed the boxing order, because it was the dog days, the weather was unusually hot, those people were standing, sitting, stepping on stools, open-chested, exposed, bare-chested...... All kinds of wild poses, and the words spoken are also full of vulgarity, wildness, and powderiness, which is unbearable.

Erhu's heart moved, and he sat down at a small free table not far away. The beautiful proprietress already knew Erhu, so she hurriedly ran over and asked with a smile, "Mr. Tong, what do you want to eat at night?"

Erhu didn't even talk about his eyelids, so he said, "Just come up according to the standard at noon." ”

"Alright. The woman said yes and went into the back kitchen.

After a while, the dishes on Erhu's table were ready, and the proprietress brought them the same. Erhu and Xiaozhu ate and drank calmly and unhurriedly.

Some of the people at the big table over there turned their heads to look at Erhu and Xiaozhu eating and drinking from time to time, and their eyes seemed to be full of jealousy and envy. Erhu had seen it for a long time, but he was still silent, eating wine and food as if no one was around......

I only heard someone over there: "That mother, the one who has money in these years is the uncle, you can eat whatever you want, how chic and happy!"

Someone said: "That's right, if you are rich, you are the king of grass, and you are not afraid of the government and the wolf......"

"Be quiet, don't let people hear!"

......

Erhu used the peripheral vision of his eyes to see that all the dishes on the big round table over there were empty, and just at this time, the proprietress brought a big bowl of pork stewed vermicelli. As soon as the two tigers made a look, the little bead of the spirit understood the meaning, and took the bowl of food to the table.

When the bowl of food was placed on the table, all of them raised their heads in surprise, immediately stopped the noise, and turned their eyes to Erhu's side......

Erhu suddenly put down the eldest young master's shelf, hugged his fists at them, and said with a smile: "Come, please taste it, brothers, even if the younger brother has a treat." ”

There was a big man with a goatee in the group, he stood up and stared at Erhu for a moment, hugged his fist at Erhu, and asked suspiciously: "This boy is so generous, where is it sacred?" (To be continued......)
