After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 344: The visitor has a big hand

Four side dishes and two pots of wine.

Gan Rong personally brought it to Xie Yuchuan and the other two, and on his way out, he deliberately mentioned, "I can also take care of everything for the escort. The master and the two gentlemen can rest assured. We have released a clever escort outside. If you have any instructions, you gentlemen are welcome at any time."

"Okay, Uncle Gan, go and get busy." Xie Yuchuan said considerately.

Gan Rong went downstairs with a warm heart, holding the serving tray under his arm and lifting the curtain to go to the back kitchen, "Add a few more meat dishes to the officials today. They are all friends of Mr. Han, so don't treat them badly."

"Boss, just wait and see!" the people in the kitchen said in unison.

Before long, Gan Rong and his men went upstairs and delivered meals to Cheng Ye and other officials who were resting. The fragrant aroma of the meal filled the entire inn, going all the way upstairs and down from there, making the prisoners in the yard so hungry that their stomachs growled. They looked at the cakes in their hands, which were as hard as rocks, and found them difficult to swallow.

Gan Rong cleverly pushed all these benefits onto Han Qiguang.

Young Master Han's current status in the exile team is that he practices Taoism casually, has a lot of Dharma and wealth, and is generous.

Although Cheng Ye didn't quite understand it in his heart, the person was left behind by Xiong Jiushan, so the adults didn't care. There was nothing wrong in having an extra God of Wealth who could practice Taoism on the road.

Escorting is a tough job, and who wouldn’t want to have a comfortable journey?

Cheng Ye and other escorts were waiting for the arrival of the inn. Today's food and wine were hot and tasty. The most important thing was that the innkeeper even heated up a few jugs of wine for them. It was truly a heavenly day.

Although I have official duties to attend to, it is not convenient for me to drink and have fun.

Since Xiong Jiushan was not around, Cheng Ye also drank a few more cups. Following suit, they didn't get drunk, but they did satisfy their cravings.

A subordinate came in from outside, and Cheng Ye asked, "Did the man find out clearly?"

"The shopkeeper said it was a local who was seeking work."

"What do you want?" Cheng Ye rolled his eyes suspiciously and looked down at the wine in the glass.

The officer said, "The shopkeeper is not sure either. Can we pray to God?"

"Pray to God?"

Cheng Ye raised his head and spoke in a vigilant tone, "Go to Xie Yuchuan to pray to God? Where did the news leak out?"

The servant who was serving wine beside him thought for a moment and wondered, "Could it be the doctors who treated us yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, the vigilance in Cheng Ye's eyes faded a little.

"It's not impossible."

"These doctors are really good. They are so quick to speak after receiving the reward."

Cheng Ye drank in silence, glancing at the door from time to time. His subordinate noticed that he was in a bad mood, rolled his eyes, and cursed: "This local in Yucheng really has no manners. Since you come to ask for help, you don't come to pay respect to the eunuch first, you do what you want, and you don't know how to show respect."

Cheng Ye sneered lightly and said nothing.

When the other party saw this, he was about to yell a few more words when he heard a waiter talking outside the door.

"Sir, the shopkeeper asked me to deliver something to the officials."

Cheng Ye raised his chin and signaled to let the person in.

The waiter brought in a plate and three dishes of small dishes in covered bowls, without opening them. After putting them down steadily, he bowed to the officials in the room one by one, and then walked out with a hunched back.

After closing the door, Cheng Ye looked at the three dishes on the table and frowned. He wondered what was so particular about the way of serving dishes in Yucheng.

The men looked at his expression and saw that he agreed, so they opened the lids of the bowls one by one.

"hiss--"

A surprised gasp!
"Who is this person? What a big deal!"

Three dishes on one plate, every dish is golden!

There were gold ingots weighing fifty taels each, and two taels in a plate, filling three plates with a glittering golden luster.

"Who is coming?" Cheng Ye was also surprised. He gave three hundred taels of silver at once. Along the way, he had never seen anyone giving gifts more generously than this person.

The magistrate of Songjiang Town only gave Xie Yuchuan a box of gold beans. There was no reason for him to be so arrogant.

"This……"

The three men who came to drink with him were also dumbfounded when they saw the things on the table.

No one could understand. Cheng Ye was silent for a while, then sent someone to the Yucheng government office to find Xiong Jiushan.

No one dares to act rashly with such a large sum of money.

I couldn't figure out the intention of the person who came, and I didn't dare to disturb Xie Yuchuan and the others easily. Who knows what kind of ability this person has? I just have to keep an eye on him and observe him first.

Anyone who can come up with several hundred taels of silver to bribe an official at once must be asking for something very important.

This kind of thing requires Lord Xiong to come back and take charge, Cheng Ye thought to himself.

He doesn't associate with people who are too troublesome.

The other side of the second floor.

Gan Rong helped to finish the errand, came back to report and then went downstairs.

Han Qiguang laughed after hearing someone's bragging. "You really gave so much gold? You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Are you a boy who gives away money?"

The other party snorted in a light tone: "First, shock the tiger, so as not to disturb our reminiscence."

Xie Yuchuan hadn't seen the other person for a long time and looked him up and down.

Yan Jin stood up, spread his arms, and jokingly asked, "What? You don't recognize me?"

Xie Yuchuan shook his head and laughed. Han Qiguang waved at him, "Hurry up and sit down! Let's talk about why you came to Yucheng. If Gan Rong hadn't brought you in, I would have thought I was seeing things."

Yan Jin shook his long sleeves and sat down.

Xie Yuchuan looked at him, and he was also looking at the other person's condition carefully.

"Major General, how are you?"

Xie Yuchuan nodded and smiled, "It's fine now."

"I'm glad you're alright. It's worth my journey to find you."

The two people opposite looked at each other in surprise after hearing this, but Yan Jin looked calm and poured wine for them.

"My two brothers, Song Zhi came here in a hurry today and did not prepare any gifts. I would like to borrow Gan Rong's wine to toast you two! I will drink first as a token of my respect, and you two brothers can do as you please."

Xie Yuchuan's expression was slightly moved, and he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Han Qiguang, who was standing by, was not satisfied with the drink and even teased the visitor, "It's just a gulp of wine, who can be much better than you?"

Yan Jin drank three cups in a row, and Xie Yuchuan raised his hand to stop him from drinking the next cup.

"No hurry. It's been a long journey. Let's take a break and drink."

"The Major General is a reasonable person."

Han Qiguang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Both of them were surprised by Yan Jin's sudden arrival.

Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment and asked with concern: "Why did you suddenly come to the North when you were not in the Northwest helping your father and brother?"

Yan Jin put down his wine glass and said, "It's a long story."

"Let's make it short," Han Qiguang teased.

Yan Jin picked up his chopsticks, looked at the two of them, and said, "Talk while eating?"

"it is good."

Yan Jin then told them how he had learned that something had happened to the Xie family and how he had packed his bags and headed north to look for them.

Although he had traveled a long way, he was fortunately wealthy, so he did not have to work as hard as Gan Rong. However, it was precisely because Yan Jin came from a wealthy family that Xie Yuchuan was puzzled. "You came here to look for me on purpose?"

"Yes." Yan Jin nodded.

Xie Yuchuan glanced at Han Qiguang, who shrugged at him and said, "I didn't know that Master Yan was looking for you."

Yan Jin was dusty and looked tired, but he was really happy to see Xie Yuchuan.

"I didn't expect that Uncle Gan could recognize me. I'm really happy."
