After lunch that day, Jimo Qiao and Gu Ling had just finished lunch, and they took Doudou and hurried out of the post office. The place where the three of them were going was Xinglong Tea House.
Since the three of them listened to the story of "The Swordsman" two days ago, they have been discussing the plot together all the time, while also speculating on the fate of each character in the story.
As soon as they arrived at Xinglong Tea House, the three of them searched for Chai Yan upstairs and downstairs in the tea house, but after searching every corner, there was no sign of Chai Yan at all.
After looking at the sun, Gu Ling said to Jimo Qiao: "Did we come early and that guy is still eating?"
Jimo Qiao thought for a while and said: "Then wait, if that guy dares not to come, I will never let him go!"
So, the three of them found a table on the second floor and sat down, listening to books and drinking tea while waiting for someone.
After waiting for an hour, all the snacks on the table for the three of them were eaten, and the tea was replenished several times, but Chai Yan still didn't come to keep his appointment.
"Miss, will Chai Yan not come?" Doudou waited impatiently.
Gu Ling had this idea half an hour ago, but seeing that Jimo Qiao was in high spirits, she didn't say it out loud.
Now that Doudou said this, Gu Ling looked at Jimo Qiao and said, "How about we go? If that guy doesn't show up at this time, he will definitely not come!"
Jimo Qiao pouted, his chest heaving, and said angrily: "Asshole, he swore an oath. If he dares not to come, he will have diarrhea for a year!"
Gu Ling couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xiao Qiao, I have told you before, he is a big scoundrel! Do you believe the big scoundrel's oaths?"
"Then...then maybe he was delayed because of something? By the way, could it be that he still has diarrhea after taking laxatives that day?"
Jimo Qiao didn't give up. She wanted to know the plot of the story so much that she even helped Chai Yan find reasons and excuses.
Gu Ling rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Then you wait here, let's go first, Doudou..."
Doudou actually wanted to wait and see, but she didn't dare to object if the lady wanted to leave, so she quickly got up.
"Hey, you really want to leave..."
When Jimo Qiao saw Gu Ling and Doudou actually going down the stairs, he immediately became anxious and quickly followed them.
Just as the three girls were about to walk out of the tea house, suddenly a middle-aged tea guest hurried in outside. This tea guest should be a regular customer of Xinglong Tea House. As soon as he came in, he shouted to the acquaintances inside: "Hey, hey, hey, you know, right? ,A great event happened outside just now!"
This sentence immediately attracted the interested eyes of many tea drinkers on the first floor, and everyone asked him what happened.
Jimo Qiao and Gu Ling couldn't help but stop and looked back at the tea guest, wanting to hear what he was going to say next.
The middle-aged tea guest walked among the tea guests, looked around and said, "I came from the Yamen just now. What do you think I saw?"
At this point, the middle-aged tea guest stopped deliberately and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Tell me, what did you see?"
"Hey, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly..."
Many of the tea patrons around him were impatient and urged him one after another.
The middle-aged tea guest continued: "A man and a woman, just two young people, captured eight water thieves alive from Taiping Lake!"
"What, two people caught eight water thieves?" a tea guest immediately exclaimed.
Some people who know middle-aged tea guests joked: "Old Ma, did you drink too much at noon and you still didn't wake up? You are talking nonsense here, hahahaha..."
The middle-aged tea guest didn't care and said sternly: "What nonsense did I say? What I told is the truth! I saw with my own eyes the two young knights skewering the water thieves with ropes and then escorting them in
In the Yamen! Not only me, many people in the whole street watched..."
As soon as the words fell, the first floor of the teahouse became noisy, and everyone was discussing the authenticity of this matter.
Then, some tea guests who did not believe this matter questioned the middle-aged tea guest and said that as long as he could tell the appearance of the two knights, he would believe that he was not making this up.
The middle-aged tea guest immediately said: "I saw the face of that male knight. He is white, clean, delicate and elegant. If it weren't for the yellow wine gourd hanging on the back of his waist, I would have thought he was a scholar...
....But which scholar is so powerful that he easily captured eight water thieves alive? Eight! Hehe, I'm sure this person must be a master in the martial arts!"
This statement made everyone nod. How could he catch the water thief on Taiping Lake without any skills? He must be a martial arts master.
"What does the female knight look like? Is she beautiful?" The man just now asked again.
The middle-aged tea guest slowly shook his head: "I don't know what that female knight looks like. No one on the street knows, because she has been wearing a black hat to cover her face from beginning to end. I noticed that she was holding a
A sword, I guess he must be a martial arts master who uses swords!"
At this point, the Xinglong Tea House became even more noisy. Everyone expressed their opinions, mostly about the identities and origins of the male and female knights. Of course, there were also many people who were curious about how these two men captured the eight water thieves.
At the entrance of the teahouse, Gu Ling and Jimo Qiao became interested after listening to the conversation inside.
Gu Ling rolled her eyes, looked at Jimo Qiao with a smile, and asked softly: "It's still early anyway, and the government office is not far from us, how about... go there and have a look?"
Without waiting for Chai Yan's story, Gu Ling thought of joining in some other fun.
Jimo Qiao happened to be very interested in who was so powerful that he could catch eight water thieves at once, so he nodded and said: "That's exactly what I meant!"
So the two hit it off again, dragging Doudou out of Xinglong Teahouse and heading straight to the Huzhou Yamen Office.
---------------
Huzhou City Government Office, Intermediate Court.
At this time, Hu Duan, the prefect of Huzhou, was personally receiving Chai Yan and Gui Yuan in the flower hall. However, Yu Zhongheng and Mu Dan were sent home to rest because they were injured.
"Young Master Chai, Mrs. Chai, water thieves have been disturbing the people on Taiping Lake for a long time, and the people who come and go are suffering terribly! Today, two knights came to kill the water thieves. I would like to thank you both on behalf of the people of Huzhou!"
After Hu Duanzheng finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Chai Yan and Yuan.
"Everyone has the responsibility to eradicate water pirates. Mr. Hu, you are too polite." Chai Yan quickly stood up and prepared to return the gift.
At this time, seeing Yuyuan sitting indifferently, he pulled her arm, saying that you should stop sitting there and at least stand up politely.
Yuan Yuan stood up impatiently, held his sword in his fists and said, "You guys can chat, I'm out..."
After saying that, Yuan strode out of the flower hall and disappeared...
