Chapter 22 Huang Shengcai ran away
The sound of a knife slashing into the wood sounded in the inn lobby, and also in everyone's hearts. Then the bandit tiger opened his mouth and roared loudly. The pain of his broken arm made him jump from the ground, dancing and panicking.
Everyone turned their heads to look at him. When the other four bandits saw it, they were very surprised. The eldest brother's arm was not cut, so why did they jump up and shout? The third brother subconsciously shook his broken arm, grinning in pain, thinking that this was the pain of the broken arm. The eldest brother was so crazy, I'm afraid he wasn't pretending.
The bandit's second son stepped forward and grabbed the crazy boss and advised: "Brother, brother, okay, your hand has not fallen."
After shouting several times, the big tiger came to his senses and subconsciously raised his right hand and looked at him. Hey, it was really good. Then he turned his head in confusion and looked at Du Shaoqing. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. I can't say that that didn't count just now, you can cut it again.
Who wants to be cut off his arm? Although the big tiger is tough, he knows that he is afraid of death on his neck.
Du Shaoqing turned around and pulled out the kitchen knife from the wooden pillar next to him, smiled slightly and said, "Save one of your arms to carry the plates for the inn."
"But I..."
"What? Can you really not have arms?" Du Shaoqing interrupted the other party and jokingly said.
The big tiger looked at the other party's expression and the sharp kitchen knife, and couldn't help but shrink his right arm back, but he didn't continue to persist.
Then Du Shaoqing wrote three contracts for the new three to sign. The three bandits were originally defeated by Du Shaoqing. The Tang Dynasty was a martial country, so without saying that, the three bandits were convinced by the scholar and shopkeeper, and they all signed the contract. Of course, they still needed to take the contract to the county government to report the contract in the future, otherwise these people would still be bandits and illegal households and would not be able to enter the citizenship.
Just as the wind and rain were gradually resting in the inn, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside. It turned out that the reinforcements from Aunt San had arrived. The old village in the town was organizing dozens of brave men to rush over with tools. Among them, Huang Shengcai from Shengcai Restaurant also followed the large army and followed behind. He was not here to help, he was here to come and see the joke, wanting to see the tragedy of the Du family being destroyed with his own eyes.
But when he came in, he was stunned. Du Shaoqing was there for good reason. None of the Du family members were injured. Instead, five bandits stood aside with their injuries with their heads down.
"Hurry, surrounded these five bandits, and dare to go to our Luoxia Town to commit crimes in broad daylight? Do you think there is no one in our town?" Lao Li was like a general at this moment. Du Shaoqing felt a dazed and could not tell that this old man used to be a peacemaker, but he didn't expect that he would have the demeanor of a veteran Lian Po in the face of a disaster.
Of course what he didn't know was that the Tang Dynasty implemented the system of military service, and Lao Li was also a veteran who retired from the battlefield.
He hurried forward to persuade everyone, and Du Shaoqing explained: "I misunderstood and misunderstanding. These people are our new friends, not bandits."
After a long explanation, I persuaded the people who came back to the town to help, but fortunately everyone came to fight the bandits to save people. I just saw that the matter was solved and no one was killed. Everyone dispersed in the midst of the Du family's gratitude.
When Du Shaoqing saw that Huang Shengcai was coming, a trace of sarcastic mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. The latter tightened his neck and then quickly left. He thought to himself that the bandits had actually fallen into the hands of the Du family, and that he would definitely learn that he had bought a murder. The Du family would not not take revenge. Luoxia Town could not stay.
In just one hour, Huang Shengcai sold three of his own real estate and one of his real estate, packed up the gold, silver and fine materials, dismissed the chef and handed over, and moved out of Luoxia Town with his little sister.
But he did not escape from the shelter, but he was determined to die. He actually took Jiaxiao to the county town of Zhengxian. After settling down, Jiaxiao came to the county government alone.
Di Zhixun, the county magistrate of Zheng County, Huazhou, has just dealt with the corruption problem of his county magistrate in the past few days and is in a very bad mood.
His career has always been unsuccessful. He has served for many years but is still a county magistrate of the size of a sesame. You should know that Di Zhixun's father served as the Left Chief of the Shangshu in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, equivalent to the prime minister. As a son, he can be said to have a prominent family background. He came out to serve early, held many positions, and even served as the chief secretary of Li Shimin's younger brother, King Zheng Li Yuanyi.
But despite this, he still couldn't get promoted. He originally thought that he could be promoted by being a county magistrate who worked diligently to achieve his achievements. Who knew that less than a year after he was in office, his county magistrate had a problem and directly smeared his political achievements. It seems that he would not think about the promotion this time.
At this moment, a yamen runner quickly walked into the back house of the county government to report: "You reported to the county magistrate, and a person outside the door came to report the case, saying that someone in Luoxia Town had an affair with a bandit, and a nest of bandits on Tiger Mountain in the south is now hidden in Yunlai Inn in Luoxia Town."
What did you say?
Di Zhixun immediately stood up, not because he was panicked because he found the bandits under his rule, but because he felt that he had encountered an opportunity and a chance to make meritorious contributions, so he was excited. If he could wipe out a group of bandits who committed evil deeds at this time, wouldn’t it be a great achievement?
"Hurry, bring the person here, and I will ask questions and implement them in person."
Hearing Huang Shengcai's words of concise report, Di Zhixun immediately ordered to suppress the bandits, but because it was getting dark and Luoxia Town was in the mountains, he had to settle down early in the morning to gather all the yamen runners to suppress the bandits.
At dinner, in the back house of Yunlai Inn, Du Shaoqing took his daughter to have dinner with Zhang Chuchen. After experiencing this bandit incident, Du Shaoqing was very grateful to the heroine, so he treated her differently from others and no longer treated her as a resident.
"If you want to say that you are such a genius, you can make these dishes you have never seen before, and you have a cooking skill that even the imperial chefs in the palace do not have. I thought you were a chef, but today it would be great. You, a scholar, can defeat a group of bandits by one against three, which really opened my eyes.
By the way, you still know medical skills. I'm curious about what else you can do?" Zhang Chuchen sighed, and frowned and drank the wine in his glass.
Du Shaoqing smiled and did not answer positively, "It's just a fight with his life in a crisis, it's not worth mentioning. Don't mention your skills in front of a female hero like her elder sister.
My elder sister kept praising me, and I was a little embarrassed for a moment.
I frowned when I saw you drinking, but my wine is not right for my appetite?”
"To your appetite? You boy is so embarrassed to say, don't a chef know how good or bad your own things are? You are also called wine? They have faded out of the world.
But it is true that this place is too poor. I think it would be better to have a sip of it like this than to drink it.
What a pity, it’s a pity that this table of good dishes is not matched by fine wine, and the beauty is not enough!”
