Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Two rows of chairs have been placed in advance in the lobby for the merchants to sit down, but where can most of them sit comfortably?The government's announcement to raise food and salaries naturally meant that the merchants would bleed.

Because of this, when Ximen Qing staggered in, all the merchants felt a sense of dependence.Everyone knows that Ximen Qing is now a celebrity in front of Zhuzhi County, easy to talk and easy to do.

That old fox in Zhuzhi County is talking to you with a smile on his face, and he may be thinking about how to draw more money from you.

No need to discuss, all the merchants gave Ximen Qing the position with the best light and the most comfortable chair to sit in. Of course, this position was also directly facing Zhuzhi County in the middle.

Ximen Qing sat down casually, and the merchants turned sideways one after another, like sunflowers facing the sun, and turned to Ximen Qing, all pretending to be listening attentively, waiting for him to speak.

Seeing the posture of the stars holding the moon, Ximen Qing felt amused in his stomach, touched his suet jade pendant, and coughed: "Who already knows the ins and outs of the matter? Since the magistrate is not here, let's talk about it first, let's listen." Let me declare first, I don’t know anything.” <, the government is going to bring us over to discuss the matter of raising food and salaries, and I don’t know which way is not enough. "

"Lao Li, your grain business is the first to bear the brunt. If you don't donate hundreds of tannins of grain, can the magistrate let you go?" Boss Zhang of the silk cloth shop next to him said: "I don't care, anyway, the cloth that has not been sold over the years It would be too bad to put it in the warehouse, so I just took some out to make up for it."

"Boss Zhang, don't be joking. Your moth-eaten cloth can also be regarded as food and wages? Do you let the soldiers fighting in front eat the cloth?" A chubby businessman sneered: "Zhuhu... the magistrate appointed you I won't ask for your cloth if you pay in cash."

"Everyone." Seeing that they were missing the point, Ximen Qing hurriedly interrupted: "This is too peaceful, where is the war?"

"Our Great Song Dynasty is not peaceful." Shopkeeper Li said with a worried look: "We have been fighting with Xixia for several years, but there is no result. Last winter, even the Jingxia City built by Mr. Xiaozhong in Xi Weiping was lost. No, none of the thousands of officers and soldiers in Jingxia City escaped."

"What?" Ximen Qing sat up straight all of a sudden, "Did the Xixia people call?"

"Then they don't dare." Shopkeeper Li replied: "Jingxia City was originally a nail that penetrated into the territory of Xixia. The Xixia people pulled out the nail, and they also need to prevent our army from counterattacking. They dare not!"

Then Shopkeeper Li sighed: "It's just a pity that none of the grain in the northwest is allowed to be sold, and all of it is used as military rations. I heard that Mr. Xiaozhong is mobilizing various people to prepare for a counterattack!"

Mr. Xiaozhong Jinglue, Ximenqing recited it twice in his mind, and suddenly thought that the flower monk Lu Zhishen didn't know if he was becoming a monk or if he had already gone to Liangshan.Before killing Guanxi with three punches, Lu Zhishen, still called Lu Da by the layman's name, served as a governor under the hands of Mr. Xiaozhong's manager!

Where is this sao master Lu now?

"Could it be that the raising of the food and payment this time is an order from Mr. Xiaozhong's manager?" Ximen Qing asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the imperial court didn't allocate the food and payment?"

"The imperial court...humph," the chubby businessman interjected directly: "That guy Tong Guan has already swallowed the food and wages, including fur and fur. How can there be any food and wages to go? Naturally, the counties raise their own money."

"That should also be raised by the counties in the northwest. Why did they come to our Qinghe County?" Ximen Qing asked.

"I don't know." The chubby businessman thought for a while, "However, it is said that a military officer came from this county. I don't know what it means. The county magistrate is still very nervous."

"Oh." Ximen Qing was sorting out the cause and effect, coughed twice as the master came in, and the old fox from Zhuzhi County swayed into the lobby behind him.

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted, and Ximen Qing also cupped his hands: "I have met the magistrate!"

"Everyone is here." Zhu Zhixian glanced at him, with a straight face, he changed his original image of a smiling fox, and motioned for everyone to sit down: "You may have heard that you are called here to raise food and salaries. .”

"This time it's to raise food and pay for the Northwest Army. Lieutenant Tong specially sent the next Lieutenant Bai to supervise it. It's estimated that he will arrive soon."

Surname Bai?Ximen Qing suddenly thought of the fellow whose surname was Bai and whose name was Guang and whose name was Yaozu. Could it be a relative?

"Brother! I didn't expect you to be so wronged after two years of fighting in the northwest!" An officer in military uniform was pacing in the backyard of the inn with a murderous look on his face: "That fellow Ximen Qing, how could you be so wronged so easily?" Let go!"

Doctor Bai's face was full of panic: "Brother, this Ximenqing is now a county captain, and he is still a celebrity in front of the county magistrate. You are just a captain of the army, you can't make mistakes."

"Huh!" Captain Bai barked his teeth, pulled out half of the waist knife, and inserted it in viciously: "Although I, Bai Song, is not a high-ranking official now, but I have the task of supervising food and payment, let alone a small one." The county lieutenant, even the county magistrate, is no problem."

"You must not kill anyone." Doctor Bai said with a hesitant look in his eyes, "The county magistrate must not look good."

"Hehe. I heard that Ximen Qing is now the richest man in Qinghe. As the saying goes, kill chickens to scare monkeys!" Bai Song's eyes glowed greenly: "This time, I just happened to use this guy for surgery, and Zhu Zhixian has nothing to say."

"Let's go!" Bai Song tossed his cloak, greeted the two soldiers under his command, got on his horse and headed for the county government hall, rampaging all the way, knocking down a lot of stalls.

As Bai Song's elder brother, Doctor Bai knows his brother's temper well, he will kill and set fire at every turn, so he deliberately teased Bai Song with words, making Bai Song furious, and he must kill Ximen Qing; The county looked up again, instead of staying in the backyard of this long-closed inn all day.

Doctor Bai looked at his brother's back, showing a ferocious face: "Ximen celebrates you, bird man, on this day next year, I will personally visit your grave!"

"Come here!" With the sound of horseshoes in a hurry, Bai Song led two soldiers into the lobby with a murderous look.

"Lord Zhixian, Mr. Bai is here!" Bai Song swept his eyes, and found Ximen Qing in his heart among the crowd, and he didn't salute Zhu Zhixian at all, but just waved his hand slightly, counting that he had seen him.

"This guy is so rude!" Everyone in the room felt this way at the same time, especially the magistrate who was sitting in the hall.

Zhu Zhi County received the official document yesterday, and only then did he know that there was a school lieutenant who came to supervise the food and payment. After thinking about it, the small school lieutenant must be polite when he sees him, so that the supervision of food and payment can go smoothly.

Unexpectedly, this fellow rushed into the lobby domineeringly when he came up, completely ignoring Zhu Zhixian.

Zhu Zhixian was in luck, so he heard Bai Song shouting in succession: "Who is Ximen Qing! Stand up for me!"

"Which one of you is Ximen Qing!"

"Have the guts to bully my elder brother, and now shrink back!"

Ximen Qing immediately understood what was going on, the Bai Song in front of him was probably Bai Guang's younger brother, and he wanted to take care of himself by supervising the errands of food and pay.

joke!Brother has his own top passive skill: the protagonist's halo, how can he be afraid of you?

Ximen Qing cast a few glances calmly, and the merchants next to him understood what he meant. Seeing that fellow Bai Song's unkind look on the visitor, they all knew what Ximen Qing meant.

Therefore, Ximen Qing took the lead, and everyone pretended to be innocent and looked at the roaring Bai Song, making a look of "Who is Ximen Qing?"

"Wait a minute, Lieutenant Bai!" Zhu Zhixian stood up and shouted, "This is the hall of the county yamen, so don't shout. What's the matter, I have to decide!"

Bai Song turned his head and looked at Zhu County magistrate viciously: "When Bai was killing Xixia people in the northwest, you sat here safely and securely as magistrate, isn't it comfortable?"

"You dog official is not a good thing. You bullied my brother together with Ximen Qing. You, the county government hall, are like an enemy camp in Bai's eyes. Just fight in and out, and you will be recognized there!"

"Point out that bird man Ximenqing to me, or I'll beat you, a dog officer, too!"

A few times "dog officer" blurted out, Zhu Zhixian had an urge to lift the table, and suddenly saw Ximen Qing blinking at him, coughing, and tentatively said: "Ximen Qing..."

"Ximenqing went to visit friends in Henghai County, and he hasn't come back yet!" Ximenqing stood up, took Zhu Zhixian's words, and turned his back to give Zhu Zhixian an ok gesture.

Although Zhu Zhixian couldn't understand what kind of gesture it was, and didn't know what Ximen Qingda's idea was, he also knew that the next step would be to see how Ximen Qing performed.

"What!" Bai Song frowned: "What's your name, don't fool me!"

"The villain's surname is Dongmen, and his single name is a straight character. He runs a pawn shop in Qinghe County." Ximen Qing's mouth was like a river, and he continued to make up without frowning: "Ximen Qing did go to Henghai County. He just left. General, you are coming!"

"General, if you don't believe me, just ask!" Ximen Qing swore with a swipe of his hand: "Boss Zhang, shopkeeper Li, tell me!"

All the merchants were veterans of the business for many years, seeing Ximen Qing talking nonsense, they all suppressed their laughter and cooperated.

"That's right! I watched him go in the morning!" Boss Li from Kailiang Shop nodded.

"That's right! I said hello when I left the west gate!" Boss Zhang of Silk Cloth Shop swore.

Zhu Zhixian simply sat back and watched the play with a smile.

Seeing that all the merchants said so, Bai Song couldn't help but believe it, and with Ximen Qing's two words of "General", he was flattering and flattering, and he was also a little smug.

I was a small military captain, and in Ximen Qing's mouth, he also became a general, and he was indeed a countryman who had never seen the world.

"That guy Ximen Qing, you made me suffer! General, you have to make the decision for me!" Ximen Qing rolled his eyes and stomped his feet.
