"... Weizhou Jieshibao City Guards Team A brave Xu Fan Jianglin, Fan Shitou, cavalry Xu Sigen, Xu Layue, school brave Fan Sanchou..."
"...You wimps! If you can do it, you can be a deserter. If you can, you can use your brother to block swords and arrows. If you can, you can fight with me..."
"...What does it mean to be brave? You are brave and good at fighting, and the general relies on you. What do you think you are doing now?..."
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled slightly.
The maid and Banqin hugged each other, their bodies trembling, and when they saw her smile while shedding tears, they couldn't help but become even more stunned.
Why are you still laughing at this time?
"People should not be judged by their appearance." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking down into the courtyard from the window, her eyes fell on the majestic man holding a strong bow.
He seems to be a rough and brave man, but he also has a lot of careful thoughts, and his words are emotional and reasonable. They may seem threatening, but in fact, his words are poignant and pierce the hearts of Fan Jianglin and others.
Seeing Fan Jianglin and others startled for a moment, then lowered their hands, Cheng Jiaoniang turned around and took a step forward.
The maidservant and Banqin quickly wiped away their tears and followed him.
People were already crowding outside Taiping Residence, pointing and talking with surprised expressions.
"...patrol patrols are looking for deserters...leave no one alone..."
The soldiers used their spears to block the onrushing crowd, shouting at the same time.
The door leading from the backyard to the front hall was also blocked by soldiers. First, it was to prevent Fan Jianglin and others from escaping here, and now it is to block the guests and Taiping residents.
Li Dashao was among them, holding two walnuts tightly in his left hand.
"You have arrested the wrong person!" he shouted, rushing forward and grabbing the soldier's spear. "You have arrested the wrong person!"
"Go away! If you dare to interfere, you will be treated as an accomplice!" the soldiers shouted and threw him away.
Li Dashao fell to the ground. The guys hurriedly supported him and tried to stop him. They looked here in shock and did not dare to step forward again.
If the gangsters made trouble in the past, they could fight together without saying a word, but now it is the government, and it has announced from the beginning that they are arresting deserters, not provocations, nor personal grudges.
"Give."
A female voice sounded from behind. Everyone looked back and saw two girls standing behind a woman surrounded by two girls.
Although they were not familiar with this woman, they all recognized her.
She is the younger sister of the masters in the courtyard.
Of course she will never be her biological sister.
She doesn't come often, and I don't know who the young lady is, and how she became a brother and sister with several men.
The guys subconsciously got out of the way.
"Madam." Li Dashao shouted and hurriedly followed.
The soldiers watched the crowd retreat and were stunned for a moment when this little lady came.
Nowadays, even women love to watch the excitement and are not afraid of trouble?
"Back off!" they shouted.
"I am the boss of Taipingju." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking into the courtyard, "I want to see you, sir."
The big owner of Taipingju!
you?
This little lady?
Not only the soldiers' eyes widened, but also the Taiping's waiters' eyes widened.
"Big boss?"
General Liu was stunned when he heard this and turned his head to look over. He saw the young lady standing in front of the door, and his eyes widened instantly.
It's her!
The maid and Banqin bandaged the injured man's arm in tears.
"Are you deserters?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
"We, we were framed at the beginning. The thief wanted to take our credit. The eldest brother refused and started a fight. It was the kid who fell to death himself, but he wanted to punish us for our crimes. We..." shouted a brother.
.
General Liu stood aside with his arms folded, watching them talk with a half-smile, neither scolding nor ridiculing.
Which deserter is not a person who has no choice but to suffer a lot, he can even say the next words for this man.
"Did you escape?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, interrupting the man.
The man was stunned.
"Yes, but back then..." he said.
"He's a deserter." Cheng Jiaoniang interrupted him again, nodded and said.
The man wanted to say something else, but Fan Jianglin stopped him.
"Yes, we are deserters." He nodded and said.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at General Liu.
"Are you here to catch deserters?" she asked.
General Liu shook the document in his hand.
"That's right, the documents are correct." He said, "A certain patrolman is responsible for arresting thieves and chasing the fugitives."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." She said, while stepping away, "Since the verification is correct, please follow the rules, sir. If you need us to do anything, just ask us."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was stunned.
"Madam..." Li Dashao couldn't help but speak, with a bit of anxiety.
General Liu looked Cheng Jiaoniang up and down for a moment.
"Madam, don't you think it's wrong for us to arrest someone?" he asked.
"My duty is to act in accordance with the law. What's wrong with that?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked rhetorically.
Why was he being questioned by her instead, and he seemed to be the one being questioned?
General Liu coughed.
"Then why don't you ask them why they deserted?" He added, "Maybe they really had no choice but to do so?"
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him with a solemn expression.
"Even if they have no choice, they are still deserters, aren't they?" she said, "As long as they are deserters, they are breaking the rules, aren't they?"
General Liu was stunned again.
"Yes." He couldn't help but reply.
At this moment, he seemed to be a little soldier facing a superior officer who was instructing him.
Ah bah.
General Liu came to his senses and sighed inwardly.
Such righteous words are either because of a guilty conscience and fear of being implicated, or because they are harboring ulterior motives and have other plans behind them!
Observe the rules. There have never been people who obey the rules in this world. They either have to be wronged or take advantage of the rules to benefit.
"Take it away." General Liu waved his hand, turned around and left.
Fan Jianglin and others were pushed and shouted forward, but when they passed Jiao Niang, they stopped.
"Sister, I'm sorry, we have been hiding this from you." Fan Jianglin said.
"I recognize that you are my brother now. As for the past, it had nothing to do with me." Cheng Jiaoniang said with a slight smile, "I don't need to know either."
What about the future?
Fan Jianglin said in his heart.
"Take care, sister, we have made things difficult for you." He finally moved his lips and said.
"It's not difficult." Cheng Jiaoniang said, bowing and saluting, "Brothers, take care."
The officers and soldiers left in a hurry, but the onlookers in the Taiping Residence had not dispersed yet, asking each other, whispering and pointing.
The newly hired steward here greeted the workers to tidy up the yard, and smiled as he asked the guests to return to their seats.
"...Shopkeeper, your boss has been arrested, can you still eat?"
the guests asked confusedly.
The name of this Taipingju is really for nothing. Since its opening until now, it has not been peaceful at all.
There have been so many troubles, either gangsters came and beat me up, or they killed people on the spot, and now the government has also come to encircle and suppress me.
Is this really a restaurant? Isn't it the lair of the mighty bandits?
The shopkeeper laughed.
"There might be some misunderstanding, and the person arrested is not the cook." He said, pointing out, "Besides, our big boss is here too, what can happen?"
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards the courtyard, where the woman stood watching the men busy cleaning up, calm and confident.
The way they dress is not that of ordinary people. Also, if they can open a restaurant, and think about how they have escaped unscathed from these incidents, the people behind them are definitely not ordinary people.
It turns out that this is the real big owner of Taipingju.
"After being frightened like this, I need to give him something cheaper," someone shouted.
The shopkeeper laughed.
"Easy to say, easy to say." He said and laughed.
Taipingju gradually returned to normal, with waves of diners leaving and arriving, this matter was diluted as water came and went. Just as the shopkeeper said, it was not the cook who was taken away, but the real person.
The big boss is still there and is stable as usual, and the government is chasing deserters, not Taipingju, so this matter is nothing.
Li Dashao didn't know how long he had been sitting in the yard. When he raised his head, the surroundings had returned to normal. The restaurant was laughing and noisy, and the waiters coming and going sang Nuo Cui Cai. It seemed that nothing had happened.
"Don't worry." Sun Cai stood up at some point and said, "As long as my wife is here, everything will be fine."
Li Dashao sighed.
"It's true that I cannot be pure day by day," he said.
"Death is pure." Sun Cai said with a smile, "But no one wants to die."
Li Dashao chuckled.
"A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory!" he said, but the depression in his heart eased a bit with this smile.
"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to turn bad luck into good luck." Sun Cai said with a smile.
Li Dashao nodded and turned the walnuts in his hand.
"Madam..." He turned to look at the door, "It's not easy..."
What should we do this time?
But what he can be sure of is that the lady will not really ignore it.
