A knife in love

Chapter 1294

Seeing Shopkeeper Feng's smug face, Shou Nanshan felt contemptuous, snorted, and was about to sarcastically.Zhang Yong hastily whispered: "There are too many people here, so it's better not to start a dispute with this philistine."

Shou Nanshan suppressed his anger, and cursed in his mouth.Fortunately, his voice is not loud, and no one knows what he is muttering.At this moment, only the sound of boots was heard, and two people came down from the second floor.

Everyone turned their heads to look upstairs, and after seeing the faces of the two people clearly, Xiao Dong's heart shuddered, and he stood up immediately.It's just that he was about to leave the chair and go up to salute, but he was glared at by the person walking in front, so he stood motionless by the table with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Master Pan and the others didn't know why Xiao Dong stood up, but seeing his strange expression, they also stood up one after another.But shopkeeper Feng said to the two of them: "Uncle Yan, where are you going?"

It turned out that the two people who came down from the upstairs were Yan Song's master and servant that Xiao Dong had met in the tavern.He didn't expect Yan Song to stay in Dongsheng Inn, and he was a little panicked.I thought to myself that this person came to Beijing by order, and he will be of great use in the near future.I don't know if he sees his arrogant appearance just now.This master Yan has a quick mind, and he will definitely be a figure in the imperial court in the future.He must not offend him, otherwise his official career will be worrying.So he stood up hastily and wanted to rush forward to meet Yan Song.But Yan Song stopped him with his eyes, so he had to stand beside the chair, but he couldn't sit down right away, so he was quite embarrassed.Shopkeeper Feng didn't know Yan Song's background, so he greeted him.

Yan Song said with a smile as he walked down the stairs: "Last night, I was reading late. I didn't go to bed until five o'clock, but I slept until noon. I woke up hungry and wanted to find a restaurant outside. Sacrificial to the five viscera temple."

Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile: "As the saying goes, it's better to come early than coincidentally. The shop has just prepared a banquet. If Uncle Yan doesn't dislike the rough food and drinks in the shop, why don't you join us for a drink?"

Just as Shopkeeper Feng finished speaking, Xiao Dong stepped back two steps, gave up the seat he was sitting on, and said respectfully: "Please, Mr. Yan, please take the seat."

When Master Pan and the others saw Xiao Dong's appearance like this, their hearts were terrified, and they thought to themselves that this Lord Xiao is majestic and arrogant in front of us, why did he suddenly change his appearance and become cautious?Could it be that he knows this old guy surnamed Yan?

At this time, Yan Song had already walked down the stairs. Seeing Xiao Dong's appearance, he just smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, you don't have to be polite. We met by chance, why should you be so polite? Thanks to the shopkeeper's kindness, if I evade, I will be a little pretentious. Today Just disturb the shopkeeper."

When he said this, he saw that there were no vacancies at the first three tables, only the fourth table on the inner side was not yet full.So he cupped his hands towards Shopkeeper Feng and said, "I'm sitting at the table inside, I wonder if the shopkeeper agrees?"

Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile: "Uncle Yan, you are too polite. If you are willing to take the seat, it is to give face to the villain. This seat is not for you to choose!"

Shopkeeper Feng led Yan Song to the table where Li Qiufeng was sitting while talking, and apologized to Shou Nanshan and others, dragged out the two chairs himself, asked Yan Song to sit down, and then returned to the first table. a table.Seeing Yan Song speak and act like this, Xiao Dong knew that he didn't want to reveal his identity.If I went up to meet him, I would offend this person instead.Seeing that Yan Song had already sat down, he sat back in the chair.It's just that his expression was a little hasty, and his words were not as unscrupulous as before.Master Pan and the others didn't know Yan Song's background, they were drinking happily just now, so after sitting down, they drank and ate food by themselves, complimenting Xiao Dong from time to time.Xiao Dong barely managed it, but he stopped drinking.

After Yan Song sat down, he cupped his hands towards Li Qiufeng, Shou Nanshan, Zhang Yong and several businessmen, and said, "Please, everyone. I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone's drinking, and I hope you don't mind."

Shou Nanshan laughed, and said in his mouth: "Fuck, why do you care or not? We also took advantage of the restaurant's meal, and it was all free. If you are sorry, just tell the shopkeeper that there is a problem with us." What the hell?!"

Shou Nanshan's words were extremely rude, and his voice was loud, but everyone sitting at the first table could hear them clearly.Xiao Dong's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that this old guy dared to be so rude without knowing Yan Song's identity, is that okay?He hurriedly stood up, pointed at Shou Nanshan and shouted: "Old guy, keep your mouth clean!"

Shou Nanshan chuckled, and said, "Okay! Sure enough, those who flatter their superiors must have their place of deception. You little brat, you are so complacent just now, why are you pretending to be a grandson again?!"

Xiao Dong heard Shou Nanshan ridicule him, he was furious, he was about to scold him, but he saw Yan Song turned his head and looked at him, his eyes were full of reproach.Xiao Dong's heart trembled, he hastily swallowed the words that came to his lips, and slowly sat back on the chair, not daring to say another word.

Shou Nanshan laughed loudly and said: "As the saying goes, the wicked will be tortured by the wicked! When you meet me, you have met the enemy! If you are not convinced, feel free to trouble me. I want to see what tricks you have. , dare to show off in front of Lao Tzu."

Xiao Dong was humiliated by Shou Nanshan's words, and he was furious.It's just that Yan Song's presence is hindered, but he can't attack.If he had followed his temperament, even if he couldn't beat Shou Nanshan to death with a single palm, he would have left long ago.But Yan Song just took his seat, if he left, Yan Song would inevitably be misunderstood.So he had no choice but to suppress his anger, sat on the chair with a gloomy face, and didn't say a word.

Shou Nanshan ridiculed Xiao Dong again.Yan Song said with a smile: "The old man's words are extraordinary, he must be a well-informed person, why should he be as knowledgeable as these small people in the market. Come, I will respect the old man."

Yan Song raised his glass while talking, and wanted to toast to Shou Nanshan.Shou Nanshan picked up the wine glass, touched Yan Song, and then drank the wine in the glass.Yan Song only drank half a glass of wine, put down the glass, and said: "The old man is really big, I'm willing to bow down."

Shou Nanshan said: "It's nothing big if it's not big. It's the ability to speak and do things without leaking water. You kid is not surprised, and you speak and do things decently. You must be a great person in the future. As for that kid, it's far behind. I'll carry your shoes He is not worthy of you. He flatters you, he just wants to please you in front of you. If you want to use him to handle affairs in the future, you should think twice!"

When Xiao Dong heard that Shou Nanshan berated him openly in front of Yan Song, he was really furious.He suddenly stood up, and said to Master Pan and others: "Xiao is too drunk, so go back to the room to rest first. Eat and drink well, everyone. I hope you will not forget what you have entrusted."

Seeing Xiao Dong's appearance, Master Pan and others knew that he left in a fit of anger, but they didn't dare to ask the reason, so they stood up one after another and greeted Xiao Dong in a hypocritical manner.Xiao Dong waved his hands, turned around and went upstairs without speaking.

After Xiao Dong left, Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others also left the table one after another. They only said that they had eaten and drank well, thanked shopkeeper Feng, and then left the table, followed by Xiao Dong. second floor.Seeing that Xiao Dong had already left the meeting, Master Pan said to the several patriarchs: "Master Xiao's matter is the matter of our county magistrate's office in Dongliao County. After you go back, you need to recruit people as soon as possible. Each household must send out at least 50 people. We will gather at the Yamen tonight."

Master Pan finished speaking, only to hear a patriarch say: "Master Pan, it's already past noon, and we have to go back for more than an hour. I'm going to elect 50 people tonight, I'm afraid it's a bit embarrassing."

Li Qiufeng heard this person's voice somewhat familiar, turned his head to look, but saw that the person who was speaking was Wang Xiaoyu's father, Mr. Wang Zhuang.Li Qiufeng thought to himself that the scale of Wangjiazhuang is huge, and Master Pan is looking for help from big households, and Wangjiazhuang is naturally one of them, so it is not unusual for the owner of Wangzhuang to participate in this matter.

Master Pan's expression darkened after hearing what Wang Zhuang said, and he said in his mouth: "Old Wang, are you going to fight me? There are more than a hundred people in your Wangjiazhuang, so finding 50 people to help in the yamen, is it difficult? If you don't agree, what will the other patriarchs say?"

Master Pan finished speaking, and a skinny man in his 40s standing next to Master Wang smiled and said, "Master Pan is right. If Master Wang doesn't have enough manpower, then we will count all the concubines, and only I'm afraid I can't pick 50 people."
