Chapter 87 [Creditors come to the door] (Part 1) Outbreak
King Zhou went to Xichuan a few days ago, and Zhang Ziqian met him once in Xizhou, but he did not expect that he would also show up in Qingyun. Zhang Ziqian secretly guessed the relationship between Hu Xiaotian and Long Yefang, and guessed that both of them were from
Capital, maybe they were old acquaintances in the past. How did he know that Hu Xiaotian had never met His Highness the King of Zhou? Hu Xiaotian was still a fool when Long Yefang left the capital.
Long Yefang is wearing a bright yellow gold woven robe. He is handsome and majestic. After all, he is a descendant of the royal family. His noble temperament is unmatched by ordinary people. Even according to Hu Xiaotian's standards, this prince can be regarded as a genuine prince.
Hu Xiaotian didn't know Long Yefang, so he asked Zhang Ziqian in a low voice: "Master Zhang, is he not pretending?"
Zhang Ziqian didn't say anything. He stood up and walked over quickly. He knelt down and said, "I didn't know that King Zhou was coming in person at the age of 1,000. I hope your highness will forgive me for missing the opportunity to welcome you from afar."
Hu Xiaotian now fully understood that Daqing was real. He strode over and knelt down too. With this kneeling, all the guests in the hall knelt down. Although Hu Xiaotian was a second-generation official, he could not compare with other princes.
. He is completely confused now. Why did Wang come here to join in the fun this week? Did he come here with Old Man Zhang?
The chief secretary, Guo Shouguang, couldn't even find a place to kneel now. Hu Xiaotian was confused. He was even more confused than Hu Xiaotian. He was dizzy, completely dizzy. Never in the history of Qingyun had so many big shots appeared at the same time. What happened today?
Even the prince is here. Is it possible that the achievement is for Hu Xiaotian, the new county magistrate?
Long Yefang kindly pulled Hu Xiaotian up from the ground and said with a smile: "Hu Xiaotian, you don't know me, but I know you. Today I was asked to come to your charity sale. I came uninvited. You must do it."
Don’t be offended.”
Hu Xiaotian blinked and became even more confused: "His Royal Highness King Zhou, whose commission have you received?"
Long Yefang whispered in his ear: "Qiqi!"
Hearing Qiqi's name, Hu Xiaotian remembered the little girl he met by chance at Lanruo Temple. At that time, he thought that girl was weird. He guessed that she was most likely to have a close relationship with the royal family. Now it seems that this is true, but Qi Qi
Is Qi Long Yefang's sister or his niece? How could the royal children be reduced to being hunted everywhere? The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the stranger it became.
Seeing everyone still kneeling there, Long Yefang smiled and waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please get up. I am here today just to support my good brother. You don't have to be formal."
Hu Xiaotian's status today has skyrocketed. He was first called his little brother by the governor of the West, Zhang Ziqian, and now even the Seventeenth Prince of Dakang, Zhou Wang Long Yefang, calls him his good brother. This guy has never been more glamorous and tall in the eyes of everyone, and he needs to look up to him.
They had just met, but Hu Xiaotian knew very well that it was his second meeting with Zhang Ziqian, and his first meeting with King Zhou, and they didn't have any friendship at all.
Guo Shouguang's heart jumped into his throat, and he sighed inwardly, no wonder this kid is so arrogant. I have long seen that he is not an ordinary person, and remembering that I have always been standing clearly on the opposite side of Hu Xiaotian. I suddenly panicked, what should I do?
Is that good? With Hu Xiaotian’s connections and background, wouldn’t he not even move his little finger when dealing with himself?
Long Yefang came here with eight guards. Hu Xiaotian took Zhang Ziqian and sat down with him. At this moment, he was numb to the surprises. Even if the old emperor appeared here, he would not feel it.
Surprised. He realized that tonight was destined to be a night of miracles.
Hu Xiaotian asked Shopkeeper Song to serve the dishes quickly. There should be no guests with more respect than Long Yefang. The arrival of King Zhou meant that the dinner could officially begin.
The food and drinks were already prepared, and shopkeeper Song was stunned by the endless scenes tonight. Even Prince Dakang was here. This guy started to wonder if he could ask for an autograph or an inscription. If he could really get one,
The calligraphy of King Zhou can be regarded as a bit of royal nobility.
According to Hu Xiaotian's request, a small stage was temporarily set up in the lobby. Of course, it was not for performance, but for a charity sale. Hu Xiaotian, the initiator, played the role of host without hesitation. There was no way, the rules of this charity sale were only
Only then did he know.
Hu Xiaotian toasted to King Zhou and Zhang Ziqian, and waited for the guests to arrive one after another. The news spread at an alarming speed. It didn’t take long before he saw guests arriving one after another. Most of them were representatives of the Qingyun business community that had been invited by shopkeeper Song.
Wan Boping, who claimed to be ill, got the news from nowhere and rushed over from home in person. Even the seventeenth prince came. In the small town of Qingyun, this kind of opportunity to make friends with the emperor's relatives is really rare in a century, no matter whether it is possible or not
It's always good to get together and build a relationship, and become familiar with each other. Even if you can't get close to each other, if you can have dinner together, you will have the capital to brag to others in the future. No one wants to miss this opportunity.
Businessmen are like this, not to mention the gang of officials and subordinates in Qingyun County. County magistrate Xu Qinglian was stunned when he first heard the news that Teng Tianqi, the leader of Heishizhai Village, came to support him. He was shocked when he heard that Zhang Ziqian, the governor of the West, showed up.
At that time, he had already thought about going to Hongyan Tower for a visit. When he changed his clothes and was about to go out, he heard that the Seventeenth Prince Long Yefang had arrived. He didn't even bother to use the carriage and just trotted all the way towards Hongyan.
Going upstairs, it was not that far to begin with, less than a mile from the county government office. Even at this distance, Xu Qinglian was out of breath running.
When he arrived at the gate of Hongyan Tower, he tried to walk inside, but was stopped by an arm. He took a closer look and saw that it was Hu Xiaotian's follower Liu Kuohai.
Xu Qinglian was out of breath and said: "Get out of the way, I...I'm here to pay homage to the King of Zhou...the King...His Highness..."
Liu Kuohai said: "How can His Royal Highness, King Zhou, be seen by everyone?"
"You..." Xu Qinglian's eyes widened and he couldn't help but want to launch an official attack, but Liu Kuohai didn't want to do that. Hu Xiaotian asked him to stand here just to stop these shameless people. One of the key figures is
Xu Qinglian.
Liu Kuohai said: "Master Hu said that in order to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness King Zhou, anyone who enters must report in advance and can only enter with Master Hu's permission."
Xu Qinglian was so angry that he pointed at Liu Kuohai's nose and said, "You don't know me? I am the magistrate of Qingyun County..."
Liu Kuohai said: "Inside is the seventeenth prince of Dakang!"
Xu Qinglian was immediately discouraged when he heard what he said. They were right. His status was not worth mentioning. At this moment, the county captain Liu Baoju also galloped over on a bay-red horse.
Liu Kuohai looked at the two people who came in embarrassment and smiled in his heart. Mr. Hu was indeed right. These people are all shameless people. He didn't invite them properly at first. Now he heard that King Zhou was coming.
They shamelessly come together to get close to each other. They are both parents and officials of one party, so why are they so shameless? We ordinary people even know the word "honesty", why don't these people understand?
There was an endless stream of distinguished guests. Three luxurious carriages stopped in front of Hongyan Tower. A fair and fat girl jumped out of the first carriage. Although she was bloated and fat, she was extremely light when she landed on the ground.
Like a dead leaf gently falling to the ground, he raised his big silver face, looked at the photo of Hongyan Tower, and giggled: "Miss, this should be it!"
Three more people got down from the two carriages in front and behind, all of them were young girls with outstanding beauty. The last one to get off was the real owner. The fat white girl stepped forward and raised the curtain in the middle. One of them was wearing a red dress.
The girl in robes walked out of the car. Her appearance was like a bright moon rising in the east, which dimmed the light of the girls around her who were as beautiful as stars. Her hair was tied on top of her head like a man's, her eyebrows were like spring mountains, and her eyes were like clear springs.
The bridge of the nose is small and straight, the lips are full, and the complexion is as beautiful as snow. With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sign of Hongyan Tower, with a charming smile on his lips, and said softly: "Yes, this is it!
"
The fat white girl led the way, and four beautiful girls were guarding her on both sides. The group of people went straight to Hongyan Tower. The night wind blew, bringing the faint fragrance of the girl's body, which made people feel intoxicated.
Liu Kuohai couldn't help but feel dumbfounded when he saw this group of beautiful girls. However, he still remembered to abide by his duties and honestly stood in front of the door and said, "Did the girls go to the wrong place?"
The fat white girl at the head smiled and said, "Is Hu Xiaotian in there?"
Liu Kuohai immediately called out Hu Xiaotian's name after hearing her say it. He thought he was looking for the right place, but he didn't know whether these people were enemies or friends of the Lord? Liu Kuohai said: "If you dare to ask the girl's name, I will inform you."
Xu Qinglian and Liu Baoju looked at the side and became angry. Liu Kuohai was just the son of a drug store owner. Now he was following Hu Xiaotian and he was acting like a bully. He was so polite to them just now, but now he saw that the beautiful girl was acting like this.
You're welcome, this attitude makes a huge difference.
The fat white girl said: "You don't need to report, I will find him myself!" She shouted: "Hu Xiaotian, I am here to collect debts from you!" Her voice was so loud that it made the eardrums of people around her buzz.
It was so loud that even half of Qingyun City heard it.
Hu Xiaotian was toasting the King of Zhou. When he heard the voice, he felt a little familiar. He carefully searched the memory in his mind and suddenly woke up. The voice was clearly the Xiangqin from Huancai Pavilion in Xiezhou. Previously, in order to help Liang Dazhuang escape, he wrote a special
I gave her an IOU of 1,000 taels, and I said, "If you don't come early, you won't come later. I chose this time to come. You really know how to choose the right time." Thinking of Xiangqin's identity, Hu Xiaotian immediately became nervous. He was chased by people from the brothel.
The debt was pursued here. If anyone knew about it, he would definitely lose his face. He hurriedly got up and went out. (To be continued...)
