The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 109 Eliminate Bullies

After a while, Wan Jianfeng came to the county government gate.

He looked at the grievance drum in front of the door, then at the majestic and majestic hall of the county government office, and slowly slowed down, thinking, "Looking at the panicked appearance of the pedestrians on the street, it is absolutely true that the little witch killed people." , if this young hero plays drums rashly at this moment, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to save people, but he will also be regarded as a party member and taken down together, then we will be done playing together."

Wan Jianfeng couldn't bear to look at the county office for a while, and lost his mind for a while.But it's not a problem to stand like this stupidly at the gate of the yamen all the time. After a little thought, he was about to turn around and leave.But suddenly there were three or four yamen servants talking and laughing from behind, one of them said: "Brothers, this month's regular money has come down, do you want to go to the restaurant for a few drinks together?"

Another yamen servant smiled wryly, "Old Ji, we arrested a lot of people a while ago, but before the oil was squeezed out, they were all released by the order of the adults. We finally caught a murderer today, you can see She doesn't look like someone who is too rich, and she can't squeeze out a few drops of oil and water. With our little money, it is barely enough to fill my stomach, so how can I have spare money to go to restaurants?"

The yamen servant called Lao Ji patted his chest and said: "It's okay, as long as the brothers want to drink tea, I will pay for the tea, and I will never ask you to pay a copper coin!"

After hearing his words, several yamen servants suddenly regained their spirits, embraced Lao Ji like stars holding the moon, and went towards the restaurant.Wan Jianfeng was still full of gloom just now, but after listening to the words of these yamen servants, the gloom on his face dissipated instantly, revealing a bright smile.

After a while, Wan Jianfeng rode a donkey back to Gao's old shop.

As soon as he stepped into the store, he saw the old shopkeeper pacing nervously inside and outside the room.Seeing this, Wan Jianfeng had already guessed six or seven points, and pretended to be depressed and said: "Old man, my companion has a bad temper, just after listening to your words, he killed Mr. Yuan in the street, and he has been taken down by the government now." .If the county magistrate is promoted to ask the case, I'm afraid you and I will be involved."

Seeing that it was Wan Jianfeng who came, the old shopkeeper had a sore nose and almost cried, "Young man, the little old man repeatedly advised that girl that Mr. Yuan should not be messed with, but she just wouldn't listen! If the county magistrate is promoted, she will really The confession of the little old man is based on the relationship between the county magistrate and Mr. Yuan. Even if the little old man is not designated as an accomplice, at least he will say that the matter was instigated by the little old man. Lobby, if you don't die, you have to lose your skin!"

Wan Jianfeng pondered for a while, and said: "Old man, it has been an hour since the incident happened, and the officials haven't come to inform you, so you must have escaped today. But as the saying goes, 'you can hide past the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day', If you don’t want to be implicated in this matter in this life, you must find a way to prevent my companion from confessing to the county government for the rest of his life, so as to be safe.”

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper said nervously: "Young man, do you mean to..." As he spoke, he swiped his hand between his neck, making a killing gesture.

Wan Jianfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "This young hero was once fortunate enough to be instructed by an expert, and with a rough knowledge of spells, he could rescue my companion without any effort. We have all confessed. It’s just that the incident happened suddenly, and this young hero lacks some useful things at hand, I wonder if the old man is willing to help this young hero find them?”

The old shopkeeper glanced at Wan Jianfeng in surprise, and then kept nodding his head, "Whatever the young hero needs, I will try my best to help you find it."

Seeing that the old shopkeeper followed his advice, Wan Jianfeng secretly laughed.He deliberately put on airs and said: "I don't need anything else, just a jar of clear water and half a basket of rotten fruits."

The old shopkeeper has also heard about the battles of masters before, but the legendary masters used candles, yellow paper, mahogany swords and other magic tools, but never heard of any master who opened the altar. Only clean water and rotten fruit are required for practice.But seeing Wan Jianfeng's serious appearance, he didn't seem to be joking, so he stopped doubting him and went straight to the kitchen.

Soon, the old shopkeeper came out with a jar of clear water and half a basket of rotten pears. He put these things on the counter and looked at Wan Jianfeng with relief.Wan Jianfeng saw that most of the basket of rotten pears had softened and turned black, and there was a strong sour and wine smell from time to time, attracting countless fruit flies to circle around it.

Wan Jianfeng nodded in satisfaction, "Old man, please pick out these rotten pears and pour all the juice into this altar of clear water." Hearing Wan Jianfeng's words, the old shopkeeper felt more and more confused, but Thinking of the expert's judgment and common sense, he took the water and rotten pears and went to the kitchen.

After a while, the old shopkeeper came out again holding the jar. The clear water in the jar had turned into a thick slurry mixed with rotten pear juice.He put the altar of muddy liquor in front of Wan Jianfeng, and Wan Jianfeng could smell a strong smell of wine without lying down on the mouth of the altar, but it was much inferior to the smell of normal fine wine.

Wan Jianfeng took the altar with a smile, smiled at the old man very satisfied, stretched his hand into his arms with some reluctance, and took out five copper coins, "Old man, this young man is very tight, you take these five copper coins Now, it's time to thank you."

The old shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "Young hero, no, your companion killed the bully Mr. Yuan for our people in the city. It is too late for us to thank you. How can we take your money again? Besides, you don't care about the little old man." If you want this altar of muddy milk, it’s also to save the little old man from being punished, and if you want to give it, I’ll give you some money!”

Hearing the words, Wan Jianfeng was no longer polite, put the copper plate back into his arms, and bowed his hands to the old shopkeeper, "Thank you, old man, I will go and resolve this lawsuit right away." The yamen servant chased after him in the direction of the restaurant he had just gone to.

Wan Jianfeng rode a donkey around the street, and finally stopped in front of a restaurant. Through the open door, he saw those government servants drinking tea in the hall.These people kept sighing while drinking tea. Lao Ji raised his teacup and sighed: "Brothers, when Mr. Yuan was alive, he drove away all the people who could make wine in the whole city. Those who escaped overnight, would they hide the wine that they couldn’t take away from the store? Now that Mr. Yuan is dead, why not catch up with our brothers someday and go to those wine shops to search.”

Another yamen servant counted his fingers and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Yuan has been tyrannical here for several years, even if there is still wine in the city, it will probably go bad."

Lao Ji waved his hand and said: "It's still wine if it's rotten, it's better than drinking tea, I'm almost fading out of my mouth! I really hope that there will be a jar of wine in front of me now, even if it's already rotten, I'm old Ji Ye can still drink it!"

Several other yamen servants laughed when they heard the words, "Old Ji, I have never seen a drinker like you! If you are willing to drink bad wine, you can drink it alone, and our brothers will be satisfied if they can have a sip of tea." Several people said He picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea slowly.

After listening to Lao Ji's words, Wan Jianfeng looked at the jar in his hand and gave a smirk.He didn't hesitate anymore, quickly tied the donkey to the door of the restaurant, and strode in with the jar in his hand.

As soon as he entered the door, a young clerk greeted him hastily, and said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, a pot of white water costs three copper coins, and a pot of good tea costs twenty copper coins, what would you like to drink? "

Wan Jianfeng patted the jar in his hand lightly, and said loudly deliberately: "I have only one jar of fruit wine left, so I don't want to drink anything. Just bring me a roast chicken and a plate of melon seeds."

The man smelled the smell of wine coming from the jar, but the taste of this wine is very special, much more unpleasant than ordinary fine wine, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Guest officer, your wine is rotten, if you eat it badly Don’t come to trouble the shop, don’t blame the shop for not reminding you.”

Wan Jianfeng sat down at a table diagonally across from several yamen servants, and said impatiently: "Xiaoer, I'm hungry, don't make noise here, bring me some food!"

The man glanced at the wine jar in Wan Jianfeng's arms again, smiled bitterly, said nothing more, and went straight to the kitchen to prepare dishes.Seeing him leaving, Wan Jianfeng couldn't wait to open the seal, picked up the muddy pulp in the jar and was about to pour it into his mouth.

Most of the yamen servants pinched their noses when they smelled this smell, only Lao Ji walked towards Wan Jianfeng as if he had found a treasure.He patted Wan Jianfeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, is there really fruit wine in your altar? Could you let me have a few bowls?"

Wan Jianfeng took a vigilant look at Lao Ji, held the jar tightly in his arms, and refused to let Lao Ji take another look.Seeing this, Lao Ji smiled and said, "Brother, I'm also a good drinker, so let me have a few bowls."

"No!" Wan Jianfeng said sternly: "I took a risk to treasure this jar of fruit wine. Now that bully is dead, I dare to take it out and drink it. Not to mention that it is the only jar in the whole city. It’s almost the same, we met by chance, why should I treat you to drink?”
