Xiao Er was holding the door frame, and seeing that the door was about to close, he was suddenly blocked by a hand stretched out from outside.

The leading official looked at him with interest, with a smile in his eyes, but he didn't feel friendly no matter what he looked at, "Seeing us coming, you closed the door in a panic, what do you mean?"

Xiao Er's back felt cold, and his expression froze.

Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and immediately apologized with a smile, "Look at what you said, sir, didn't you just hear that the bandits were coming, and I was afraid that the other party would rob and smash them when they entered the store, so the shopkeeper hurriedly asked me to lock the door .

I never thought it was you, the official, please come in, please come in! "

He hurriedly turned sideways, gave up his position, and welcomed the group of people in respectfully.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to make tea right now."

The officer randomly found a seat and sat down, with the attitude of the second uncle, "Don't perfuse us with rough tea."

"Don't dare."

Xiao Er turned around, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly fell, and he shook his head helplessly and sighed softly in a place where the official could not see.

After entering the back kitchen, I was speechless with the shopkeeper.

They are too clear about the ideas of these officials.

When did you take to the streets in the name of expelling bandits, and didn't grab something?
Sometimes it's vegetables, sometimes it's tea, sometimes it's silver... Not only their inn, but all the shops, large and small, are spared.

"Forget it," the shopkeeper wrinkled his face, turned his back, and waved his hands, "Give them whatever they want, and send these plague gods away quickly."

This isn't the first time, and it certainly won't be the last.

No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you have to put a smile on your face.

Xiao Er followed suit with a sigh, and when he heard the call from outside, he quickly responded, made tea quickly, and brought it out.

"Come on, gentlemen take it easy!"

He walked around the edge of the table, poured tea for everyone, and then stood aside in a proper manner.

The leading officer was named Jia Jin, he glanced at Xiao Er, then exchanged winks with all the brothers, then spat out all the tea he just drank, and put the bowl heavily on the table.

Others followed suit.

Jia Jin's eyes widened, and he was suddenly angry. He grabbed Xiao Er by the collar and dragged him to him, "You just use this defective product to perfuse us? Do you want to keep this inn open?"

Xiao Er's face turned pale, and he said again and again, "No, sir, no, the small shop is very difficult to turn around now, and there are not many customers. This is already the best tea in the shop."

"Huh?" Jia Jin snorted out of his nasal cavity, apparently not believing it.

Xiaoer was picked up like a little chicken, and he didn't dare to struggle too much, for fear of offending the master in front of him.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly ran out from the back kitchen and bowed to apologize, "Please calm down, please! It's not that Du is unwilling to bring out good tea to entertain you, it's because there is nothing left in the inn."

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his cuff and handed it over, "You accept it with a smile."

Jia Jin hesitated for two seconds, then let go of Xiao Er, chuckled, "It's not too bad."

He took the silver and tossed it slightly, "It won't be so easy if we do this again next time."

"Yes," Du Rongshan responded immediately, "Don't worry, the official, Du will go to collect good tea in the past few days, and I'm sure you can drink it when you come next time."

Jia Jin put the money into his bosom, and without looking at him, he greeted his brothers, "Let's go, we still have work to do!"

A group of people lazily got up and stepped out of the threshold, only to find two people standing on the stairs on the second floor of the inn, a man and a woman, with extraordinary bearing. They didn't know when they appeared and how long they had been watching.

Jia Jin frowned slightly, turned around and left without further investigation.

The inn was quiet again, Du Rongshan sat down on the bench with some loss of strength, and Xiao Er fell to the ground directly with his legs limp.

When will such a day be the end!

Subtle footsteps sounded, Du Rongshan looked for his reputation, saw Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen coming down the stairs, and then forced a smile, "You two guests don't have to worry, they probably won't come again these few days."

When Xiao Rongxi moved in, he only paid the rent for five days, so Du Rongshan naturally thought that they would leave in four days.

Unexpectedly, the other party just smiled, and said lightly, "The people don't worry about bandits, but officials. It's really interesting."

Even if he was far away, Du Rongshan could hear the coldness in his tone, and couldn't help being startled.

He watched the two of them walk up to him speechlessly, and sat down opposite him.

Nan Zhen picked up the tea she had just brewed, poured it into a new cup, took a few sips with downcast eyes, and pushed another cup to Xiao Rongxi, "It tastes pretty good."

Xiao Rongxi held the cup, shaking his wrist slightly, not in a hurry to drink, his gaze fell directly on Du Rongshan, "Since we entered the city, we have always felt weird. I don't know what happened in Jincheng, and it turned into what it is today?"
