I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 348

The shopkeeper Zhu sat behind the counter and calculated, the continuous rain had improved the inn's business a lot, especially the back kitchen, tsk tsk, the money earned in these two days was almost catching up with the wine shop.

"The shopkeeper..." Before the shopkeeper could finish his sentence, shopkeeper Zhu saw a group of policemen approaching menacingly, and hurriedly put down the account book to meet them.

"Hu Butou, what kind of wind has brought you here, please come in quickly, little six, and bring a pot of hot tea here to keep the officials warm." Shopkeeper Zhu glanced outside the door with a smile on his face.

The rain that had been raining for two days had just stopped, and Hu Butou came here with his men, so he wanted to arrest Jiang Yang's bandit?

Hu Butou is only in his thirties, with a burly body and a strong body. He waved his hands to the enthusiastic shopkeeper Zhu, "There is no need for tea, yesterday..."

After listening to Hu Butou's words, shopkeeper Zhu was stunned for a moment, and his expression was inevitably a little dull, "Have you reported to the official?"

Shopkeeper Zhu could clearly see yesterday's conflict. Although there were only three people on Zhan Feiyu's side, a coachman was still feeding the horses in the backyard.

Qiu Jingyuan and Qian Shipeng had more than a dozen guards besides the maids and women, and there were more than 20 people who did not come in. The main reason was that there were too many people, and there were more than 40 people in this line.

But after the attack, He Sheng defeated seven or eight bodyguards by himself. Needless to say, the value of force was high. The key point was that Qiu Jingyuan was obviously afraid of Zhan Feiyu, so she finally separated herself and ran away with the maidservant.

As for Qian Shipeng who was left behind, although there were five people and six, he was obviously flattering Qiu Jingyuan. When Qian Shipeng shouted to beat him, the guards of the Qiu family didn't even look at him.

That's why Shopkeeper Zhu was so shocked at this moment. The lady staying at the inn was obviously from a bigger background and had a stronger background. How could the other side dare to report to the authorities?

Hu Butou looked over with a warning gaze, "Don't talk nonsense, which room do you live in?"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, the yamen is handling the case. Are you trying to obstruct it?" Liu Xiaowu definitely didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and walked in with a group of dudes swaggeringly, "I heard that Shopkeeper Zhu took a piece of jade pendant yesterday." , tsk tsk, this jade pendant can buy your inn."

"The shopkeeper Zhu is indeed a good hand at collecting money. Is this because he has taken benefits so he wants to protect the prisoner?" Hu Yan sneered sinisterly. Who doesn't know that the surname Zhu is in the eyes of money, and a penny is worth a penny. Wish I could break it in half and use it.

Zhao Yi and Qian Shipeng walked at the back, talking and laughing, and became close friends after a meal.

Zhao Yi was good at talking, and basically covered the situation of the Qian family in a few words, which was basically consistent with the news he sent people to inquire about.

"Young Master Liu is serious. How dare you hinder the official's work." Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly disregarded the relationship. Even if he was greedy for money, he would not dare to offend the people in front of him.

No wonder you dare to report to the official, you have found a backer!Thinking about it this way, shopkeeper Zhu felt heartbroken. The jade pendant was only warmed up, and it was probably about to be handed over.

"Okay, stop the fucking nonsense, what about people? I want to see who dares to be so arrogant in the territory of Suzhou Prefecture!" Liu Xiaowu looked at the fat shopkeeper Zhu with disgust, since Brother Yi intends to make friends with Qian Shipeng, and this place must be brought back for the surnamed Qian.

Shopkeeper Zhu, with a smiling face, raised his hand and pointed to the right of the lobby.

Zhan Feiyu went out to interrogate the servants of the Qiu Mansion in the middle of the night, and got up an hour late in the morning, so he missed his meal when he finished his morning homework.

This time, Zhan Feiyu was sitting in the lobby eating, while He Nuan was making soup in the back kitchen.

He Sheng went out early in the morning, and probably contacted the Forbidden Dragon Guard, so that the people on Qianzhong Road could focus their investigation on Qiu Wenlan and Mrs. Qiu.

Liu Xiaowu and his dandies looked in the direction that shopkeeper Zhu pointed, and they saw Zhan Feiyu with red lips and white teeth. The little girl was white and tender, and her chubby cheeks were full of baby fat that hadn't faded.

"You're kidding me!" Liu Xiaowu was the first to attack, and kicked shopkeeper Zhu unceremoniously, but restrained his strength, and scolded angrily, "Why don't you say that this little girl is Where is Jiangyang Thief!"

Shopkeeper Zhu, who was kicked, had a bitter face, "Even if you eat a bear's heart, you don't dare to dare, Mr. Liu, there were only two rooms left yesterday..."

Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly explained the matter, and glanced at Qian Shipeng who was standing with Zhao Yi, Shopkeeper Zhu lowered his voice, "The lady who came with that young master left at that time, she was obviously scared, you little one Thinking that this young master will report to the officials today, Young Master Liu, why don't you ask more clearly, this young lady is definitely not young."

Fearing that Liu Xiaowu and the dandies would not believe it, the shopkeeper Zhu also wanted to make a good sale, and continued: "At that time, the guard knocked down seven or eight big men without even drawing his sword. He is also a practicing family, and he will be making soup in the back kitchen."

"Mr. Liu, this small inn has been open for more than ten years. It's the first time I saw such a particular inn. A soup started to be boiled before dawn. I heard from Cook Huang that Cordyceps, morels, and monkeys were added to the soup. Head mushrooms, as well as soaked fish lips, scallops..."

Not to mention that Liu Xiaowu was speechless when he heard it, and so were the other dudes.

Hu Yan couldn't help but asked, "Just to have a sip of soup?"

"That's right, two pigeons are used to hang the soup as the base soup. The bones of the stew are melted and the residue is taken out. It has been boiled for two hours on a low fire." Shopkeeper Zhu nodded straightly, and ordinary people can drink it. Even if the pigeon soup is a meat dish, it turned out that I came here just for a soup.

"Qian Shipeng is really not a good guy." Liu Xiaowu turned his head and glared viciously. Fortunately, he didn't rush directly, otherwise he would offend someone who couldn't be offended, and then he would be in serious trouble.

As the saying goes, three generations of officials know how to dress and eat. Only real families with rich backgrounds are so particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. These big families have recipes handed down from generation to generation. If you take out a recipe, you can start a family A wine shop with a thriving business.

Hu Butou also frowned, and whispered to Hu Yan beside him: "This is not easy."

If it was an ordinary person, Hu Butou would naturally be willing to help, and it was just a formality. After all, Qian Shipeng's jade pendant worth a thousand taels of silver was indeed taken by He Sheng and thrown to shopkeeper Zhu.

But after listening to Shopkeeper Zhu's words, Hu Butou wouldn't dare to act recklessly, and he would take off his official uniform if he didn't make it right.

Qian Shipeng wanted to vent his anger, but after waiting for a while, Hu Butou didn't make a move yet.

Qian Shipeng's expression sank, and he said impatiently: "Brother Zhao, don't look at that little girl, she is the mastermind, and her two servants would not dare to do anything without her order!"

Even though he had been to the medical center, Qian Shipeng could still feel the pain in his abdomen.

He Nuan's kick yesterday was serious, and Qian Shipeng's abdomen was bruised a lot, but fortunately, it was only a flesh wound, not inside.

"Shipeng is right." Zhao Yi nodded with a smile, glanced at Liu Xiaowu who looked strange and the others knew something was wrong, and couldn't help but also looked at Zhan Feiyu.

"Brother Yi." Liu Xiaowu hurriedly said, with a helpless expression on his face, "This girl is too young, why don't you just take Brother Shi Peng's jade pendant back, and you can't bully the small with the big, if it gets out , My father still hasn't broken my leg."

Seeing this, Hu Yan also said in agreement: "Yes, second brother, I only listened to one ear before, so I didn't expect it to be a child."

Even if Shopkeeper Zhu didn't say anything, seeing Zhan Feiyu like this, Liu Xiaowu and the others are not good at bullying others. A good man won't fight a woman, let alone a little girl. It would be embarrassing to talk about it.

Hearing Qian Shipeng's angry words before, Liu Xiaowu thought she was a domineering girl, and she was at least fifteen or sixteen years old. Who would have thought of this, probably less than ten years old, and still a child.

Zhan Feiyu laughed at this meeting, and continued to eat slowly, thinking that the visitor was not kind, but he didn't expect it to be somewhat moral.

When Qian Shipeng heard what Liu Xiaowu and the others said, his face fell instantly. In his eyes, there was no distinction between age and age.

Besides, this cheap girl made me lose so much face in front of Jingyuan's cousin, Qian Shipeng must find his way back, otherwise if it gets out, how can he gain a foothold in Linzhou Mansion, how can a person who can be bullied by a little girl Become the master of the money family!

Liu Xiaowu twitched his lips in disdain, Qian Shipeng is such a villain, he really planned to argue with a little girl.

Hu Yan saw that Liu Xiaowu's temper was also getting up, put his hand on his shoulder, and shook his head subtly at him. It's all up to Brother Yi, they wait and see what happens.

Walking over with big strides, Qian Shipeng looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, with high toes, and said with malicious intentions: "This girl robbed my young master's Peiyu, Hu Butou, according to Daqing How should the law be judged?"

Hu Tutou is also getting big headed, not to mention other things, just look at Zhan Feiyu's calm and composed appearance. Hu Tutou has been in the Yamen for many years, and he also knows that Zhan Feiyu is definitely not a small person, so he didn't pay attention to Qian Shipeng at all. inside.

Seeing Zhao Yi nod his head, Butou Hu came over with two other police officers, and replied with a straight face, "If the case is really as Mr. Qian said, if the jade pendant can be recovered, this is not considered a robber. sin, then the staff will punish you with twenty minor punishments."

The conflict between the two parties was caused by Qian Shipeng. Furthermore, although the jade pendant was valuable, Zhan Feiyu did not leave it behind, but gave it to shopkeeper Zhu as compensation for damage to the table and chairs.

If it is really a crime of robbery, and the jade pendant is valued at a thousand taels, then it is no longer a ban, and the lightest sentence is imprisonment, and it will be sent to hard labor.

Liu Xiaowu really didn't like Qian Shipeng's unreasonable appearance, so he couldn't help but said: "The one who did it is a servant, and has nothing to do with this little girl."

So even if they are beaten, they are still the guards who beat them. It is not a big deal for a Lianjiazi to be beaten [-] times. Besides, it is the police of the Yamen who do it.

He Nuan came back with the soup, and after glancing at Qian Shipeng and the others, he didn't bother to pay attention, "Miss."

As soon as the lid was opened, a rich aroma wafted out, even if Liu Xiaowu and the others were already full, their appetites would be aroused.

He Nuan filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Zhan Feiyu, "It's still a little hot."

"Sit down and eat together." Zhan Feiyu greeted He Nuan to sit down as well, and the master and servant continued to eat. As for Qian Shipeng and the others, they continued to be ignored.

"Are you not paying attention to this young master?" Qian Shipeng became angry, and he was about to lift the table as soon as he raised his hand.

The soup that He Nuan just served was still steaming hot, and the best purple casserole is the best at keeping warm. Even if it is off the fire, it will still be gurgling and rolling. If it burns Zhan Feiyu, it is estimated that this face will be ruined.

Even the dudes like Liu Xiaowu didn't expect Qian Shipeng to attack suddenly, but Qian Shipeng put his hands hard, but the table didn't move at all, not even the soup in the bowl in Zhan Feiyu's hand.

Qian Shipeng was also dumbfounded for a moment, and suddenly exerted his strength again, his face flushed red, but the table seemed to be nailed to the ground.

There was a snort, I don't know who laughed first, Liu Xiaowu and the other dudes couldn't hold back, they all laughed out loud, never seen such a shame.

He Nuan pressed the table with his left hand, looked at Qian Shipeng coldly, picked up the lid with his right hand and covered the purple casserole pot again, not wanting Qian Shipeng's saliva to spray into the pot when he spoke.

Seeing He Nuan's action, Qian Shipeng seemed to have been greatly humiliated, roared out of embarrassment, and instead of lifting the table, moved his hands towards the purple casserole, intending to smash the pot directly.
