Since the return of the city's Mu Sun Ce, he had obviously done nothing, but in one day, the Zhanying city immediately restored its previous peaceful and peaceful seas and danced to peace.

The news that the two young men of Jiang and Li families encountered horse bandits outside the city had long been spread into Zhanying City through rumor. Since the return of the city's Muslim Sun Ce, the news was officially confirmed, and it was stated in the official document that the attack on the horse bandits was given a guide to the insider. Who should be found out yet, and the sons of Jiang and Li families were very happy and did not fall into the clutches of the horse bandits.

After only three hours of this document was issued, Wu Gongfeng, the right-hand manned leader of the patrol battalion, asked to go out of the city to suppress the bandits. This time, the bandit suppression was different from the previous thunder and rain. It can be seen from the armor and soldiers equipped by these soldiers that Lord Chengmu had a real fire this time, and Wu Gongfeng, the right-hand manned leader, was ready to lead the generals from Chengmu Mansion. It took only half an hour for the three hundred men to complete the process from gathering to the whole set-up.

It is even more worth mentioning that when these soldiers left the city, all the gentry, mainly salt merchants in Zhanying City, spontaneously gathered on the west gate and saw them off. The number of people sent to others this time was so large that it was far more grand than in the past. From the city gate to the inner street, many gentry people lined up one by one according to their status, and they even placed nearly half a mile away.

After these soldiers finished their Zhuangxing wine and left, most of the people scattered and returned to their own houses, but the salt merchants and gentry were still waiting at the city gate. Although they said they were hoping for the victory and victory of our Zhanying City, they could see that these people must have their own concerns in their hearts.

After noon, the salt merchant at the gate of the city showed no sign of dissipation. Even the meal was instructed by the servants to get some stuffed rice from the nearby cabin and directly solve the problem at the gate of the city.

Niuji Inn is the best inn near Ximen. Because its name is not outstanding and its geographical location is slightly remote, its business is not hot on weekdays. However, today, thanks to the blessing of these salt merchants, the business in Niuji Inn instantly became popular.

Needless to say, these salt merchants have no choice but to be rich in food. Niuji Inn is almost wrapped by salt merchants today, and all kinds of delicious delicacies that have been treasured for a long time were packed out like flowing water. The salt merchants' entourage almost touched their knife to grab the best dishes.

The business of Niuji Inn was originally tepid, so all the servants and servants were only four people together. Today's business suddenly became popular, which made the shopkeeper of Niuji Inn happy and a little worried. In an emergency, he could only twitch some rough people who worked in the inn kitchen and did miscellaneous work together, so he could barely deal with this battle.

There is an old man who is blind in the kitchen who specializes in chopping wood. His surname is Tian. No one knows his name. People call him Old Man Tian. Although this old man Tian is over 60 years old this year, his body is still strong. His speed of chopping wood is no less than that of a young and strong man. He needs less monthly money every month, so Niuji Inn kept it.

Today, there is really not enough manpower, so the shopkeeper can only choose the general from the short man and make the old man Tian come out to help deliver the meal.

Old Man Tian brought up two heavy mahogany food boxes. Although he walked a little slower, he was still steady. He did not stop all the way after leaving Niuji Inn until he delivered the food boxes to the city gate. He stopped and breathed lightly.

The food box was posted with a name. As soon as Old Man Tian stopped, a servant came to take the food box and gave the reward. Old Man Tian smiled and put the big money into his tattered short stroke, groping to find a little rest under a big tree in his memory.

Under the big tree, another servant from Niuji Inn was enjoying the cool air. After seeing Old Man Tian coming, he moved his butt to Old Man Tian and gave up half of his position. While fanning the air, he smiled: "It seems that the shopkeeper is really anxious. Even Old Man Tian has sent you out."

Old Man Tian reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and smiled silly: "I heard that the money we earned today is more than we did last year's six months. Just the two food boxes mentioned by Old Man Tian, ​​the dishes contained in them were sold at a high price of 30 taels of silver. How can our shopkeeper not be moved? Besides, don't look at Old Man Tian, ​​who has lived in Zhanying City for more than ten years, dare not talk about other places. Just say that in Xizhimen, even if a stone or a blue brick, our old man can remember the location tightly."

The servant chuckled, hit old man Tian with his shoulder and head, and whispered: "Old man Tian, ​​how much reward did you get this trip?"

Old Man Tian touched the reward in his arms and said happily: "Why is it that big money? This is more than Old Man Tian's three-month monthly money. Xiao Jia, how much did you take?"

The servant, known as Xiao Jia, took out half a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, rubbed it gently in the palm of his hand, lowered his head and smiled: "Old man Tian, ​​please tell you, don't tell the boss, the master we serve is really a big deal. He will be rewarded with half a tael of silver at one's own expense. When I save the silver for another half a year, I will be able to go to Cuifen's house to propose marriage."

Old Man Tian smiled and said, "Okay, it's great to be young. You and that girl Cuifen have come here for so many years. You are now getting married. Cuifen has been good to you all these years. You have to treat other girls well in the future."

"That's right, that's right, when we get married, I will definitely invite you, Old Man Tian, ​​to have a wedding wine, you want to give me some face." Xiao Jia put away the silver, chuckled, and then persuaded, "Old Tian, ​​you are not young anymore. This time I received the reward, so I can't drink and eat meat like I used to. Let's say that, don't dislike it. You should also keep some coffin book and prepare!"

Old Man Tian laughed and told him not to drink alcohol to be harder than to kill him, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "Why are these masters so concerned about the patrol camp going out of the city to clear out the bandits? They even ate food here? Can the patrol camp come back in the morning and go back in the evening?"

Xiao Jia reached out and scratched his temples: "Hey, don't say it, they might be back in the evening. You may not know that this time the patrol battalion's right-wing troops went out wearing iron armor and spears. And the most important thing is that there is Ye Badao inside."

"Ye Badao? Anyone who calls such a strange name?"

"Hey, he is not called Ye Badao. His surname is Ye. I forgot what he is called. He is just too strong and domineering, so the nickname is Ye Badao."

"What if he has this person here? Can he pick the entire horse bandit by himself?"

"You can't tell me, he's really good!" Xiao Jia shrank his neck and said with lingering fear, "The year before yesterday, our patrol camp went out of the city to suppress bandits, Ye Badao killed seventeen horse bandits. When they returned to the city, I happened to see this man's whole body was wet with blood, and there was a series of heads hanging on the horse's butt under his crotch. The man glanced at me, scaring me... I didn't recover for two or three days."

Old Man Tian frowned: "Why has I, Lao Tian, ​​never heard of his name for such a powerful person?"

Xiao Jia looked strange: "Of course you haven't heard of his name, because he is now a gatekeeper."

Old Man Tian was stunned: "A such a powerful person, with the military achievements of those seventeen heads, is it enough for him to find a small official position in the patrol battalion?"

Xiao Jia Xinchi was fascinated: "I have heard that after Ye Badao returned to the city, he gave all the seventeen heads to the brothers in the robe, and he didn't leave any of them. Tsk tsk, this is a real man. In terms of martial arts, fighting horse bandits, being upright, being honest and not being rude, killing people in wartime without blinking, and holding blades without touching the body, you don't know that many young people in Zhanying City joined the army, all of whom went to Ye Badao."

Old Man Tian was even more confused: "Then these salt merchants are all rushing to...Which Ye Badao came?"

"Of course not. What else are there in the eyes of these salt merchants except money?" Xiao Jia lowered his voice, "I just heard the discussions of the guards. This time the patrol camp left the city, not only to suppress bandits, but also to bring back the sons of the Jiang family and the Li family. Think about it, now that Chengmu has returned to the mansion, Sun Su is said to have been arrested. In the future, Zhanying City is the world of salt merchants again, the Jiang family, the Li family... Of course, there were Du families before, and these are the most powerful salt merchants among the salt merchants. These little salt merchants in Zhanying City are pointing at those people for dinner. The young master is back. How can these salt merchants come quickly to express their loyalty?"

Old Man Tian shook his head and smiled: "Haha, the affairs of these salt merchants are really complicated, and they are not as good as those of us who do short-term work."

Xiao Jia suddenly realized and said, "By the way, I vaguely heard it just now. Those who had been visiting your Xiaobotang before seemed to have gone out with the teams of the Jiang family and the Li family. Maybe this time it's okay, so I have to come back with the team."

Old Man Tian was slightly stunned: "That boy Gu Jiu?"

Xiao Jia nodded: "I don't know what happened. Although Gu Jiu's child is from a poor family, those salt merchants favor him very much, and he never dared to be arrogant in front of him. Do you think this is a strange thing?"
