Chapter 10 Happy Sending Off the Shili Long Street
More than half a month has passed since the big event happened in the 'teahouse here'.
At this time, the streets of Wolong City were still busy with traffic and full of joy.
The sellers on the street are shouting more energetically, and every house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, as if celebrating the New Year.
From time to time, laughter and laughter could be heard among the people coming and going.
In an inconspicuous teahouse on Chengbei Street, tea patrons were listening attentively to what the owner said.
The owner of the shop, Mrs. Wang, showed her gaping teeth and kept talking.
"You have all heard about it, right? After that incident happened."
As she spoke, she carefully pointed her finger at the teahouse called 'This Tea House' in the north, and whispered.
"Our second young man in Wolong City, Wang Yanei, offended a big shot from afar. He didn't even apologize. He was even sent to the Nanshan Mining Area. He was no different from those criminals and had to work until death."
"He was such a arrogant person in the past, but now he is a prisoner. What a retribution."
So my mother-in-law often says to people.
"You must be kind, otherwise you will suffer retribution!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang subconsciously touched the three missing front teeth in her mouth, and the look of pride on her face became even more intense.
"Yes, it's really karma. This little Wang Yanei has caused harm to many little girls in our Wolong City."
People around him also echoed.
"Have you heard that since everyone got the news about Wang Yanei's distribution of mines, fireworks sellers all over the city have made a fortune."
"Yes, yes, yes, Wu Laoer, who lives right across from me, sells couplets and firecrackers. His business used to be bleak. Every time he saw me greeting him, he couldn't straighten up and lowered his head to pass me by."
A tea guest showed envy in his eyes and continued.
"Affected by the affairs in Wang Yamen these days, Wu Laoer suddenly made a lot of money. Now when he sees me, he is holding his head high and nodding. He looks so proud."
At this time, someone took up the conversation.
"I heard that the teahouse business here is extremely bleak, and the main pillar, Master Li, was kidnapped by people from the government office."
"Also, and I also heard that all the plaster shops in our city are closed. I heard from one of the waiters that their boss, the plaster king, Ximen Qing, was sentenced to death for molesting a good woman.
Extremely miserable.”
"well......"
Such whispers can be heard in the streets and alleys of Wolong City.
It seems that the news that Wang Dalu is about to go to Nanshan Mining Area to mine has spread, and his past misdeeds have become the talk of everyone after dinner.
At this time, the protagonist that people in Wolong City were talking about was humming a ditty and walked out of the room dressed as a maid.
The door was gradually closed, and a young and beautiful woman was faintly seen lying on the side of the bed.
This woman was covered with a silk quilt, her snow-white arms exposed, and tears welled up in her face. She was none other than Li Shishi, who was picked up by the boys around Wang Dalu two days ago.
"Sooner or later, I'm going to deal with that foxy kid!"
Wang Dalu kept thinking about it on the way to Wang Gang's study.
"My son has come to the mainland. Let your father take a look quickly. He seems to have lost a lot of weight in one night."
Wang Gang knew Wang Dalu's whereabouts very well and knew that he felt aggrieved, so he had complied with all the requests he made during this period in order to satisfy him.
In fact, Wang Dalu also had a twin brother, but Wang Dalu's mother was too weak to bear the heavy burden of giving birth. On the day of delivery, only Wang Dalu survived, mother and son.
So Wang Gang loved Wang Dalu very much. When he saw Wang Dalu seemed to be in a bad mood, he hurriedly asked.
"Did that girl named Li not serve you well? My father will ask someone to pawn her to a brothel."
Wang just waved his hand, and someone started to do things according to his instructions outside the door.
Wang Dalu was too lazy to answer Wang Gang's words, but at this moment, he recalled Master Li's aggrieved face in his mind. He couldn't bear it, so he told Humanity who was about to leave.
"Tell the boss of Chunhua House that Ms. Li Shishi only sells her art and not her body. If she meets a man of her dreams one day, she can leave on her own without any interference."
The servants left in response.
When Wang Gang heard this, his face showed joy and he thought silently in his heart.
"With the blessing of our ancestors, my son, Dalu, will grow up and become a wise king like our ancestor Emperor Chu in the future, creating a prosperous age."
After Wang Dalu finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment and thought to himself.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I as indecisive and sentimental as those literati lately? It's all because of that foxy girl."
At this time, he wanted to change his words, but the servant had already walked out of his sight, so he had no choice but to give up.
When Wang Gang saw that everyone had left, he took Wang Dalu's arm and spoke earnestly.
"Son, you will be traveling far away in a few days. My father has already taken care of everything. The lord of Nanshan, Lu, is my father's close friend. He will take good care of you."
"This time I have been working in the mines for three years. My father is afraid that you will be lonely, so I am going to let Li Meng and Jin Lie lead two hundred-man teams for you to dispatch."
"In addition, Mr. Li will also accompany you to protect your safety."
When Wang Dalu heard about Old Turtle, his face showed dissatisfaction.
Wang Gang stopped what he wanted to say and said in a more serious tone.
"My son, don't mess around. What matters to your life is nothing to play with! Besides, if you want to avenge your shame, you must follow Mr. Li's teachings."
"You have to know that everything my father and Mr. Li have done is for a better tomorrow for you!"
In fact, Wang Dalu no longer complained about Old Turtle in his heart. He knew that nothing Old Turtle did did any substantial harm to him, and sometimes even helped him a lot.
It's just that as the second young master of Wolong City, his stature cannot be low, otherwise he will be laughed at by others.
Wang Dalu's long journey was being planned in full swing. Originally, Wang Gang wanted to make Wang Dalu happy, so he sent his subordinates to recruit at least a few hundred people to see him off.
However, the number of people who finally signed up shocked the person in charge of the recruitment at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Report to Manager Li, there are more than 20,000 people in Wolong City. Except for those who are disabled and unable to go to the ground, those who cannot see, and those who are too young to be weaned, all the rest are registered."
"This must be because our respected city lord and government officials are always good at charity and uniting the masses to achieve such a high prestige!"
A clerk hurriedly agreed.
The manager surnamed Li didn't know what was going on. Everyone came to celebrate the departure of the yamen.
"What this Yameni has done in the past is too disgraceful. Alas, I hope he can learn a lesson after this training."
Although Manager Li thought so in his heart, he did not tell the truth and hurriedly congratulated the lord and accepted the reward.
The two remaining clerks were envious as they watched Manager Li leave quickly with a smile on his face.
"Did you know that in front of our city lord's palace and extending five miles outside the city, the entire main road is now crowded with people. Everyone is holding flowers and firecrackers, lining up in a long queue, waiting for tomorrow morning's
The farewell ceremony."
The clerk in charge of preparing records with paper and pen said to another clerk.
"What? Everyone's enthusiasm is so high?"
The other clerk had a look of surprise on his face.
"There are also people who have set up their positions two days in advance and hawked along the street. The one with the highest price will get it. Many wealthy people have paid to find a good seat to watch it."
The clerk writing the pen joked at this time.
"This is all the credit of our yamen! Its great power in the past is evident!"
The next day, it was a morning filled with melancholy chirping of birds.
The main palace of Wolong City has a stone road on both sides in front of the door.
The crowds were so huge that it was so crowded that not even a pin could fit into the sidewalks on either side.
On both sides of the road, there were many soldiers standing on guard posts. Behind them were crowds of men, women and children, scrambling to look at the gate of the Lord's Mansion.
"Come out..."
Accompanied by the crowd's loud cheers, the two three-foot-long bronze doors of the City Lord's Mansion let out a "squeak!" sound and slowly moved to both sides.
The heavy door opened, and inside there was a person wearing a brocade dress, a high crown, a pair of cloud-patterned boots, and riding a white horse.
The people behind him were like stars holding the moon, surrounding Wang Dalu as they came out.
At this time, Wang Gang did not want to take advantage of his son, so he hid on the high wall of the city lord's mansion and watched Wang Dalu.
The crowd on the street was extremely excited, with constant sounds of firecrackers and shouts, including the cries of many young girls.
Li Shishi was also among the crowd seeing him off, looking at Wang Dalu's retreating figure with a look of pain and resentment on his face.
Riding on a black horse, the old turtle pointed his thumb at Wang Dalu beside him.
"My king, I didn't expect that your prestige in Wolong City is so high. What a joy to congratulate you!"
Wang Dalu looked at the ten-mile-long crowd of people seeing him off, and of course he knew what was going on.
Immediately he shouted loudly to the people who had a look of pride in their eyes and were in high spirits.
"The ten-mile long street bids you farewell with joy, and welcomes you with full hopes in the three-year period!"
"Young and old gentlemen, let's meet again in three years!"
