Chapter 532: Encountering Bandits (1)
Chapter 532 Encountering Bandits (1)
As for why he pretended to be an ordinary person and mingled in the convoy, who would pursue this?
Maybe this young master has some hobbies or something that is hard to describe.
The wealthy businessman invited Zhao Dongting to ride a carriage together, but in fact he wanted to make a good relationship with Zhao Dongting. This is the wisdom of the businessman.
Zhao Dongting took Li Goudan, and Hong Wutian also asked Mrs. Xu to get on the carriage.
The carriage was quite spacious and even had carefully prepared fruits and wine. It was obvious that the wealthy businessman had put a lot of thought into it.
After Zhao Dongting and others got on the car, he also walked onto the carriage and sat near the door, "I haven't asked Mr. Daming yet."
The guard leader shouted in front, "Go!"
The convoy slowly headed towards the city gate.
The people still followed behind, but no longer just walked with their heads down, but whispered to each other.
Everyone was talking about Zhao Dongting's identity, and Goudan's parents, who were slightly closer to Zhao Dongting, became the target of everyone's inquiries.
But unfortunately, the two of them didn't know the origin of Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting bowed and said, "The surname is Zhao."
"Zhao!"
The rich businessman was slightly surprised, "The surname of the young master is amazing, great."
Isn’t Zhao Ke the surname of the country?
Zhao Dongting chuckled, "It's nothing special. I just have elders in my family who are not big or small officials in the court."
The wealthy businessman nodded thoughtfully.
Of course, he would not hear Zhao Dongting say that he was a big and small official, but he really thought that only people in his family were a big and small official.
Can a big and small official make Suixi County Magistrate send a notice in such a hurry?
After all, the county magistrate said that it was an eighth rank official. If he could make him so confused, he would have to have an sixth rank official in his family, right?
The sixth rank is a state-level official.
Although this wealthy businessman has some money, in his eyes, the sixth-rank official is obviously a great official.
At this moment, he became even more polite to Zhao Dongting, and even had a slight pleasing look in his eyes.
But what disappointed him was that Zhao Dongting was not very interested in him and rarely talked to him.
Maybe he felt that he was redundant, so when he was resting halfway, he left the carriage and went to another carriage.
By noon, the convoy stopped to rest.
Someone lifted the curtain of Zhao Dongting's carriage and brought it in Pastry Water Country.
Zhao Dongting originally thought he was just a maid, but after seeing clearly the person being dressed, he couldn't help but be stunned.
This is clearly a lady.
Seeing that she was wearing silk, she was quite exquisite and gorgeous, and her beads and hairpins on her head were shining with precious light. The maid could not have such a dress.
"Please use it for your son."
The lady was quite pretty, raised her eyebrows and eyes, looked at Zhao Dongting shyly and timidly, and then quickly lowered her head.
In just an instant, her ears became a little bit shy.
I believe that if it weren't for the rich businessman's request, she would definitely not have done such a "extraordinary..." thing.
Zhao Dongting looked at the lady with red earlobes and placed the fruit plate on the desk table, but had no intention of leaving, and was a little amused.
What are you making trouble?
I'm so anxious to push my daughter out?
But he didn't know how eager people in business are to become officials these days.
Tickling his eyebrows, Zhao Dongting said, "Thank you."
Then, he looked out of the car again.
The relationship is that he can't understand it clearly, so how could he have the intention to communicate with this rich lady outside?
The rich lady looked up and saw him looking out the window, her eyes slightly dim.
Seeing Zhao Dongting's temperament and appearance, she also felt that it was very good to marry such a young man.
But she was still thin-skinned after all. Seeing that Zhao Dongting didn't want to keep her in the carriage, she bowed again and slowly retreated.
Hong Wutian laughed beside him, "Young Master has hurt a woman's heart again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xu next to him pinched the soft flesh on her waist, "Why weren't you like that back then?"
Hong Wutian grinned in pain.
Zhao Dongting was amused and crying.
He really didn't expect that a momentary act of intent would lead to such a thing.
This also made him think about leaving the convoy.
Now everyone regards him as an uncle, and it doesn’t matter if he loses the faint closeness he used to be.
On that day, the convoy left Leizhou and rushed to Shilong County, Huazhou in the near evening.
Although Shilong is not far from Suixi County, the situation in the county is far from comparable to Suixi.
Zhao Dongting’s palace is in charge of Haikang, so it will allow Leizhou to enjoy the best benefits. Huazhou next to it is a little worse.
The county magistrate of Huazhou has just arrived for a short time and has not yet been able to develop such people's livelihood and economy.
However, although there are few people on the street, it is quite clean, and nearly half of the shops open on both sides are open.
Li Goudan looked like a curious baby, lifting the curtain from time to time and looking left and right.
After stopping in front of the inn, Zhao Dongting touched Goudan's head, "Goudan, brother is leaving."
Li Goudan was stunned, "Brother, where are you going?"
Zhao Dongting said: "Brother has something to do."
After saying that, he walked off the carriage.
Li Goudan followed him off the carriage, tears were almost flowing down, and he looked at Zhao Dongting.
Although he had only known each other for less than three days, he was very close to Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting looked at him again. He originally planned to give him some money, but he still gave up after thinking about it. Goudan's parents would definitely not bear it.
"Go to your parents' place!"
Smiling at Goudan, Zhao Dongting said, "Try to be a big shot."
Li Goudan nodded vigorously, "I will become a big shot like Brother Dongting."
Hong Wutian chuckled next to him again.
Zhao Dongting personally went to say goodbye to the wealthy businessman who had just got off the carriage, then waved to Goudan's parents behind the convoy, and took Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu to the depths of the city.
Everyone in the convoy watched him leave, and Goudan hugged his father's legs, and finally couldn't help crying loudly.
He is afraid that he will never hear the wonderful stories told by Brother Dongting again.
At this moment, a wish took root and sprouted in his little heart.
Hong Wutian followed Zhao Dongting leisurely, "Emperor, if this little boy Goudan knew your identity, he would be scared to death."
Zhao Dongting couldn't help but be happy either.
Becoming a big man like him? Isn’t that the emperor?
Since Murong Chuan slaughtered Suixi County more than three years ago, Suixi County has not yet recovered its vitality.
In the gap between the bluestone slabs on the street, the dark mud always looked like it was a deep red color.
Is it the afterglow of the sunset? Or the dried-up blood?
Zhao Dongting couldn't figure it out and couldn't pursue it anymore.
