"Fathers and fellow villagers, I, Xiao Chen, can't help you all." Xiao Chen felt quite ashamed.
If he hadn't happened to witness it personally in this small shop, he wouldn't have known about this situation.
As a governor, this is a dereliction of duty!
But everyone expressed their understanding, Mr. Xiao, how many days have you been here?
Since arriving here, you have been leading troops to fight with the Xianbo people, beating them into obedience, and then you opened a mutual trade with them in northern Xinjiang, so that everyone can make a living.
It’s too late for us to be grateful to you. If I’m sorry, where can I start?
We just hope you stay in Yanyun County forever, so that your life will be easier in the future...
A group of brave cavalry guards tried to persuade everyone to disperse, and even after walking a long way, they all looked back reluctantly.
Yan Luo ordered twenty brothers, Li Zheng and others, to be taken to the post station and locked up. They would be sent to Bailong City early tomorrow morning!
"Yam Luo, do you have any money with you?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"Ah? Silver?" Yan Luo looked confused.
"We still owe people money for food, and money for hotel stay later... Do you have any money?" Tie Kunlun asked anxiously.
"I don't have any silver, but I still have a few pieces of gold." Yan Luo took out several ten-tael gold ingots from his arms, which he got from Xiao Ye, the young boss.
"I'll borrow it from you and pay it back later." Xiao Chen grabbed them all politely and handed one to Xiu'er, "Miss Xiu'er, I have to trouble you to go to the store next door to buy some wine, meat and food. Buy more, let's
There are more than a hundred people."
"Hey!" Xiu'er grabbed it and turned around and ran away.
Zhang Beishan invited everyone to the store, but he was embarrassed. There were so many people and there were not so many tables and chairs. What should we do?
But I saw Xiu'er running back again, "Mr. Xiao, what you gave me is not money!"
It's not silver, it's gold, or ten taels of gold ingot.
I went to several stores but didn't buy anything. The boss said, girl, do you want to buy wine and meat or buy a store? How many?
What a joke!
Who the hell can find a replacement for such a big gold ingot?
Wait, you want to buy wine and meat for Mr. Xiao and the others to eat?
What more money do you need? Just go back and wait. The food and wine will be delivered to you right away!
The wine and meat had not yet arrived, but the Yi Cheng arrived first. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word. This villain is ignorant and deserves death!
"Hey, I'm kneeling wrong. Mr. Xiao is here!" Tie Kunlun said with a smile, "You may have really bad eyesight."
When Yi Cheng raised his head, he realized that he was kneeling on Miss Xiu'er, whose face was red with embarrassment.
He hurriedly knelt down for a few steps and kowtowed to Fu Yan repeatedly, Mr. Xiao, I am too young to be blind...
Everyone laughed, this guy looked stunned.
"Get up quickly. What's your crime?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "What's your name? Have you eaten? Let's eat together later."
"Little man Zhu Fu, you haven't eaten yet... You deserve to die, little man!" Although Yi Cheng's eyesight is not very good, he is also diligent in his work. He has been busy taking care of the convoy driving at night, and he really hasn't eaten yet.
But I wasn’t in the mood to eat either.
I just saw that Master Li Zheng of Wenyang County has been captured by Mr. Xiao, and he will be sent to Bailong City to do hard labor tomorrow!
I guess I’ll have to join in too…
"My eyesight is not good and my ears are not good. The boss said you are not guilty, so why are you making noise? Hurry up and get us some tables and chairs. Why don't you see so many people standing?" Tie Kunlun said angrily.
"Hey!" Zhu Fu got up, but his legs were so weak that he was trembling and couldn't walk at all. He was in shock.
The two police officers who followed him outside had a look, so they hurriedly ran over to pick him up and ran away, stumbling all the way.
After a while, the surrounding shop owners and their waiters came swarming in with ladles, food boxes, and wine jars. Beef with soy sauce, boiled mutton, horse meat buns, and steamed buns as big as bowls were all rushed to the table.
Upper swing.
Give money? No!
Mr. Xiao, in addition to Li Zheng, who is a big scourge, from now on we don’t have to pay a few taels of silver in taxes every day. Isn’t this money worth the food and wine?
Besides, being filial to you, Mr. Xiao, is a matter for our ancestors. Others who want to be filial have no chance!
Fu Yan said, don’t worry, everyone, all the taxes and venue fees you paid before will be fully refunded, and not a penny will be lost!
Oops!
What's so good about this?
How about we slaughter a few more sheep?
The bosses were all smiling, and unexpectedly there was an unexpected surprise.
This is not the only surprise.
Xiao Chen asked Yi Cheng to help exchange the gold ingots into silver, and asked Xiu'er to deliver them to these bosses. Regardless of the value of the things they sent, they would always give them twenty taels of silver!
If you don't accept it, just say it was rewarded by me.
It made several bosses very embarrassed. What did you say?
I originally said I was honoring you, but in the end I was rewarded ten times as much!
After hearing the news, the owners of other shops turned red with envy, right? It’s not that they were jealous that they had made such a huge amount of money, but they were envious that they had received Master Xiao’s reward!
This is really a matter of honoring the ancestors.
Miss Xiu'er, you are really not interesting enough. Why don't you come to my house to buy meat? It's far away? What if you run two more steps at such a young age?
Don’t ever think of buying anything on credit in our store again, I’m telling you!
The postmaster Zhu Fu thought he had caused a big disaster, but unexpectedly he got a big blessing.
First of all, have you heard of the Yi Cheng who can eat at the same table with the Governor?
I'm not very talented, but I once had wine with Mr. Xiao. Is this bragging to you?
You ask who else is here?
General Xiao Ye, General Duan Linger, Mr. Fu Yan, Guard Tie Kunlun, General Yan Luo and the brothers of Xiaoqi Guard...
At that time, Mr. Xiao personally took the test of the junior students in the school. The junior students' answers were so fluent that Mr. Xiao was so happy that he even rewarded the junior students with a gold ingot, which weighed twelve ounces!
Grandma Te originally wanted to keep it and pass it on to her children and grandchildren, but the shameless guys under her command forced her to part with it, saying she wanted to take advantage of her younger brother and share the blessing bestowed upon her by Mr. Xiao, hahaha.
!
No one said that Zhu Fu's words were bragging. Firstly, it seemed to be true. Secondly, they didn't dare to question it at all, because when Zhu Fu said this, he was already the magistrate of Wenyang County...
But the one who benefited the most from this incident must be Zhang Beishan. After tonight, he became prosperous.
Because his store has become an iconic building in this area.
It was also officially named Lingxiu Garden. It is said that the words on the plaque were all inscribed by Mr. Fu Yan himself.
The wooden houses look ordinary, but they have foundations reinforced by Master Xiao Chen, walls plastered by Mr. Fu Yan, stakes driven by General Xiao Ye, mud mixed by Iron Guards, and beaten by Miss Ling'er.
The water, the men of Xiaoqi Guard are all small laborers...
So I don’t come here to eat, but just to worship and admire.
Later, more and more people gathered here, and gradually formed a town. Because Lingxiu Garden was so famous, this small town was called Lingxiu City.
