Unlimited wastelander

Chapter 39

Xiao Peng's face was calm, but his heart was shocked. It really was him, Hong Ah Jiu?Officer Hong Xi!When Xiao Peng saw him before, he had already guessed in his heart, and he was mentally prepared, so he didn't show anything unusual.

You must know that Hong Xiguan has been hunted down by the court since he fought Ma Ning'er at the door of his house four years ago, and he has Hong Wending with him. If he showed any strangeness, he would be on guard, and I'm afraid it would be a side issue.

The current situation should be that he had already spent all his money, and he couldn't bear his son to starve with him, so he was attracted by his recruitment notice.It means that the system will not put itself in a place that has nothing to do with the plot!Sure enough.

Xiao Peng thought about it in his heart, but said: "Oh? Hehe, that would be great. I don't know if Brother Hong can read and write?"

"I have read books for several years." Hong Xiguan still cherished words like gold.

"That's great, this little brother belongs to Big Brother Hong..." Xiao Peng nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the kid beside him, Hong Wending, the patriarch of the super gang "Hongmen" that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

"This is Gouzi. Wending, say hello to Mr. Xiao."

Only then did Hong Wending raise his head, and said lightly, "Hello, Mr. Xiao."

"You are so good." Xiao Peng touched Hong Wending's head and said, "Brother Hong, you are welcome. If you don't mind, let Wending call me Uncle Xiao! The little guy must have suffered a lot with you, this skinny There is no more taels of meat." After speaking, he picked up the ten taels of silver on the table, and took out a 100 taels of silver note from the skirt and handed it to Hong Xiguan.

"Brother Hong, the ten taels of silver are your salary for this month, and the other 100 taels are for our future expenses. I will entrust Brother Hong to buy from now on."

Officer Hong Xi silently took the money and bank notes, and looked at Xiao Peng with less guarded eyes and more gratitude.After all, not everyone can safely hand over 100 taels of silver to someone they have known for less than a quarter of an hour, that is a kind of trust.

"Thank you sir."

Xiao Peng nodded, and finally walked in front of the scholar. Before Xiao Peng could speak, the man introduced himself first, "Xiao Ke, Zhang Zhongqiang, is in the same village as Big Brother Tie Zhu."

"Uh...hehe, brother Zhang has read books, right?"

"Returning to my son, I have studied for several years, but failed in the exams, and I can't even get the name of a scholar. It seems that Xiao Ke is not a student, haha." Zhang Zhongqiang said with self-deprecation.

Xiao Peng nodded. People with self-knowledge are not bad at all, "Okay! I will ask brother Zhang and brother Zhang to take care of me in the future. By the way, it is almost time for Wending to be enlightened. When I have nothing to do in the future, Please also ask Brother Zhang to teach you how to recognize and recognize characters."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord. Although Xiao Ke can't pass the exam as a scholar, it's okay to enlighten children." Zhang Zhongqiang took the five taels of silver handed over by Xiao Peng, and said respectfully.

And when Hong Xiguan heard that Xiao Peng wanted Zhang Zhongqiang to teach his son to read, his eyes flickered, and a warm current suddenly flowed into his heart. He has been in exile for so many years, what kind of world has never seen it?What hardships have you never experienced?Who hasn't come across it?This is the first time I have met someone who is so kind to my father and son.

So far, Xiao Peng has recruited all the people he wants to recruit, but the work is not yet finished, "Uncles and brothers, thank you for coming to apply for the job. The humble house is simple and simple, and it really doesn't need so many people. The inn has set up a banquet, and I invite you all to have dinner, which can be regarded as inviting a few brothers to have a dinner, if you are not in a hurry to go back, please be sure to enjoy it."

"Hahaha, Mr. Xiao is being polite."

"Young Master Xiao has the demeanor of the ancient Meng Chang!"

The person who was a little disappointed because he was not favored by Xiao Peng, immediately smiled when he heard Xiao Peng's words, but he didn't expect to be able to have dinner without work, which is not bad.And Yunlai Inn!It was the biggest inn in Taiping Town, and I usually didn't dare to take a second look at it when I passed by it, but this time I was able to go in and have a meal under Mr. Xiao's favor, it was a worthwhile trip.

"However, there are some things that I should say. I still have to say it clearly in front of the villagers. Three, since you have come to work in my place, I, Xiao Peng, must treat you as my own relatives, but if any hands and feet are not clean , if I become a house thief, then I, Xiao Peng, am not a great saint, but I can’t do things like repaying grievances with virtue.” After speaking, he lightly pressed his right hand on the stone table, and when he lifted it, a hole half as deep was left on the stone table. Inch palm prints.

Hong Xiguan's eyes changed, and he looked at Xiao Peng in shock. He really didn't realize that this polite and personable young man was actually a master of martial arts. It was easy to break the stone table, and he could do it easily. , but to leave a palm print on the stone table, I absolutely cannot do it. If this Mr. Xiao is not strong enough to a certain level, he must have practiced some kind of soft martial arts. At this time, Hong Xiguan said to Xiao Peng It's a little more curious.

The biggest purpose of Xiao Peng's doing this is to attract the attention of Hong Xiguan. As for deterring the other two people, that is just incidental, although Xiao Peng is not well-informed or knowledgeable. , but one can roughly see the nature of a person. One of these two people is rough and honest, the other is humble and polite. They don't look like those people with ghosts in their hearts.

"Wow"

There was an uproar at the scene.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be a master of martial arts, he is really good at both civil and military skills!"

"Yes! Mr. Xiao is such a character, he must be a dragon and a phoenix among people in the future."

"Look at what you said, isn't Mr. Xiao a dragon and a phoenix among people now?"

"Uh... that's right, I made a slip of the tongue."

"Master Xiao, do you really not think about my niece?"

"..."

Xiao Peng's head is full of black lines, what kind of nerves are these guys?It's too big!Do you really look so harmless to humans and animals?All right!In fact, he quite likes this feeling.

……

A group of more than [-] people came to the Yunlai Inn in a mighty way. Coincidentally, the waiter who greeted the guests at the door happened to be the one who received Xiao Peng's large reward in the morning. Xiao Peng's room has not been returned yet!Seeing Xiao Peng bringing a large group of people over, Xiaoer's eyes lit up, "My lord, you are back! This is..."

Xiao Peng chuckled, and said: "It's nothing, invite some folks to have dinner, hurry up and make arrangements! Serve my fellow villagers well, and I will reward you."

"Hey, don't worry, my lord. Please come in quickly, folks. There is a private seat upstairs, and there are few people there." When Xiao Er heard that there was a reward, he immediately became excited. Money received soft ah!

Seeing Xiaoer's respectful and respectful look, all the villagers felt indescribably helpful, they are not even traffickers and pawns, and usually dare not even enter the inn door, but now they have the honor of Mr. Xiao, they can Go to the private seat on the second floor, and everyone is very excited at the moment.

The people eating in the lobby on the first floor looked in surprise at this group of ordinary people who knew at a glance that they were from the countryside going to the city to go to the market. Under the leadership of a young man in white, they walked to the private seats on the second floor, and they all guessed who this young man in white was. , but that's not what Xiao Peng and the others care about.

There are seven or eight tables on the second floor, and currently there are only two tables of guests eating. One table should be a local wealthy gentry, and the other table is seated by five people from the rivers and lakes with swords and swords.

Xiao Peng told everyone to find a place to sit down, and then took Hong Xiguan and his son, Zhang Tiezhu and Zhang Zhongqiang to a table by the window and sat down, and the others sat down at three tables.

Xiao Er soon came up, saying "The greetings are not good, the food and drink will be served soon", while pouring tea for everyone courteously.

A group of country guys, the quality is naturally not very high, everyone chatted and laughed excitedly, and the private seats on the second floor were very lively for a while.

"Boom... MD, where did a group of old-fashioned old men come from? It's so noisy, Xiaoer, this inn of yours is the biggest inn in this town after all. Why can cats and dogs go to the private seats on the second floor? Huh?"
