Chapter 116 Marquis of Huaiyang

"Hey, you guys, this place has been cleared, I feel like leaving." The young man kicked another chair, dissatisfied with An Ning and the others.

The two guards beside him had already stepped forward, and they seemed to be planning to fight directly if there was a disagreement.

An Ning, however, looked at the old man and asked, "Didn't you hear that the law and order in Huainan City is very strict, and no one cares about such things?"

The old man just frowned and looked serious, but he didn't show a trace of panic or worry. Originally, he wanted to tell An Ning and the others to leave first, so as not to hurt Chi Yu, but after hearing her question, he realized that these people were not panicked at all. and worry.

However, there have been too many people of all kinds coming from Huainan City recently, and these people must not be ordinary people.

"Of course someone is in charge, and it will come soon, but you should avoid it for a while. Today, this tea is invited by the old man, and it will disappoint everyone."

"How is this possible, and we haven't finished drinking yet." An Ning just smiled, showing his attitude.

Originally, she wasn't a nosy person, but the man's speech was too harsh, and she was also considered a cook.

"Hey, you guys are dead, right? It seems that you need to be taught a lesson." The young man shouted angrily, and ordered two guards to smash the teahouse.

The two guards were ordered to roll up their sleeves and were about to fight.

Wei Sichen's lazy voice finally sounded.

He said, "My wife doesn't like to be disturbed when she drinks tea, but where is the dog annoying? Let's deal with it." The latter words were addressed to Gu Ren.

The corner of An Ning's mouth twitched, and she gave him a sideways look—what lady, don't take advantage of it.

Wei Sichen's face was paralyzed with a fake face, but there was a narrow smile in his eyes - anyway, it would be sooner or later.

Gu Ren ordered, who was still very foodie, quickly took three bites of pancakes, and got up with puffy cheeks.

The onlookers thought they would see a brawl.

As a result, they saw the beginning but did not guess the end.

After Gu Ren stood up, he didn't see him doing anything, he just took a few quick steps to circle around the three people before coming back.

When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that the three of them were already lying on the ground with their eyes closed and motionless. They couldn't help being stunned, and they kept swiping the screen in their minds—did I have a momentary memory gap just now, and who told me what happened.

The old man also showed surprise on his face, and then he looked at An Ning and the others again.

But at this time, a few people in police clothes shouted to separate from the crowd and ran in quickly.

Seeing the situation inside the teahouse, his complexion suddenly changed, but after seeing that the old man seemed to be fine, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly came over and cupped his hands at the old man, "Old man, are you all right? Did something happen?"

"It's all right, I just met a few kickers, just take them away." The old man waved his hand.

The strange thing is that those arresters were quite obedient, they didn't ask any more questions, and immediately walked over and quickly fished the three unconscious people away.

The crowd also seemed a little surprised, but they didn't think too much about it, and they dispersed one after another when they saw that there was no excitement.

On the contrary, An Ning looked at the old man a few more times, feeling a little puzzled.

The old man seemed to be affected by the mood, saying that after An Ning and the others finished drinking, they would close the stall and go home to calm down.

Gu Ren joked, "I didn't see you looking frightened, but the old man is quite calm."

The old man also chatted with him a few words.

Since the other party was already planning to close the stall, they didn't want to spend their savings, so they all left, but the other party still refused to accept the money, saying that it was a reward for Gu Ren's help just now.

"Do you think that old man seems a little unusual?" Walking on the road, An Ning thought about it for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong just now.

Wei Sichen walked side by side with her with his hands behind his back, and just chuckled when he heard that, "You're really sharp."

"Well, do you know something?" An Ning squinted at him.

"That old man is indeed not an ordinary person. He is the former lord of Huainan City, Marquis Huaiyang." Wei Sichen didn't beat around the bush, and gave you the answer directly.

"What?" An Ning was surprised, it turned out to be a Marquis?But why did Master Yiwei set up a stall in the city?And she didn't feel the aura of a superior person from the other party.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Wei Sichen said slowly, "This Marquis of Huaiyang is actually quite a legend. He is a rare grassroots man. He has been appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister after 20 years in the officialdom."

An Ning nodded, this kind of thing is not unusual, but from this point of view, this Lord Hou must be quite capable.

However, Wei Sichen let out a meaningful low laugh, "It's not what you think, it is said that this Huaiyang Houzu's family has been selling tea soup for a living, and in his generation, he was the only one left, carrying tea stalls every day. Selling, once when the monarch was traveling in micro-services, he was hit by the government, and it happened to be raining cats and dogs everywhere, so the guards could only let the monarch take shelter from the rain in the teahouse. So I opened the king's mouth and poured him tea."

An Ning's mouth opened slightly when he heard this, and the first thing that flashed in his mind was that the boy wanted to die.

If you pour tea to the monarch casually, if you are not careful, you will be known as an assassin.

The result turned out to be exactly as she expected.

"At that time, he moved too fast and too suddenly, so no one had time to stop him. As a result, he was beaten out by the guards, and then he was detained and awaiting interrogation at this moment. However, his tea worked surprisingly quickly. The imperial doctor's side medicine It’s not even cooked yet, the monarch’s illness has receded for seven or eight years, and it’s only after a cup of tea that he realizes that it’s the reason for the bowl of tea. Knowing that he caught the wrong person, and the other party has done a good job in saving him, so the monarch asked him what he wanted reward."

"Isn't it for a position?" An Ning raised her eyebrows, this was obviously impossible.

But the facts are always beyond imagination.

Wei Sichen laughed in a low voice, "I really guessed right for you. At that time, Huaiyang Hou was quite a bachelor, probably because a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so he asked the monarch if he could give him a title, saying that their ancestors have been respected for generations. It is a pity that he can only sell tea for the rest of his life. He said that if he is not good at literature and military, he will probably never think about it for the rest of his life. Maybe he just mentioned it casually. I didn’t think the king would appreciate it. His character, say if he can accomplish three things, give him a marquis title."

"What are you going to do?" Hearing this, she was really curious about this Marquis of Huaiyang.

"The first thing is to double the income of a city within one year; the second thing is to become an imperial merchant by legitimate means; the third thing is to get the book of the people."

"Will that city be Huainan City?"

"Well, when he took over Huainan City, it was just an ordinary town that was neither barren nor rich. The monarch appointed him to be the city lord for a year. Many people who learned about this at the time basically thought that the monarch was deliberately punishing the other party. Disrespect and greed. But I didn't expect him to do it in a year."

"Oh, it seems that he is still a very capable person." An Ning nodded, not without admiration in her heart. To be able to develop a city in a year, this ability is not just ordinary, but also because of his grassroots background , without any relationships and resources.
