Chapter 6 Acquaintances?

After listening to the words of the old man selling tea, Leng Yan frowned.

Little tea? What a irony, there is no tea in tea!

This shows that the lives of the people here have reached an extremely poor level.

In less than a moment, the old man brought two bowls of tea over.

What surprised Leng Yan and Jiang Wei was that this time there were six or seven tea leaves floating in the tea bowl.

"Old man? What do you mean?"

Jiang Wei wondered, didn’t the old man say the best tea, that is, two pieces of tea?

"It's getting late now, and I'm about to close the stall. Besides, the two guests don't look like bad guys, so the old man soaked the remaining tea leaves in. Don't worry, I won't charge a penny more."

The old man selling tea smiled shyly.

But just this smile made Leng Yan feel sad again.

He lived in a peaceful era on earth, where old men, who were old men, had their descendants and lived leisurely days, but this old man had fallen to set up a stall next to this official road.

"Then I'm thankful for my father-in-law. I have something I want to ask about. Do you know how far is Quanyang County from here?"

Leng Yan was in a heavy mood and took a sip of tea, and wanted to inquire about the situation in Quanyang County.

"Are you going to Quanyang County? The county town is not far from here, just about ten miles away. You can see it along the official road."

The old man has started to clean up the tea sets. It seems that Leng Yan and the others are destined to be his last group of guests.

"Oh!" Leng Yan let out a long mouthful.

Fortunately, I was not wrong, otherwise I would have been destined to sleep in the open tonight.

Just when Leng Yan still wants to stabilize some specific situations in Quanyang County,

In the distance of the official road, there were horses and smoke and dust everywhere. More than a dozen horse-riding men were galloping towards the official road.

When the old man saw it, his face suddenly changed, and his tone began to become rapid.

"Two guests, please follow me to hide. The bandits of Master Huang's Fourth Master are here. If they are allowed to see it, they will definitely be in trouble."

He said that, he actually tried to pour Leng Yan and Jiang Weila into the small room where the tea was burned.

"Second Master Huang's bandits?"

Leng Yan was speechless. He could actually encounter two groups of horse bandits in one day. I don’t know if he was not lucky or if there was really no kingly law in this place.

"Come in with me quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

The old man was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Leng Yan nodded secretly to Jiang Wei, and then the two followed the old man into the tea-burning room.

After entering the tea-burning room, the old man hurriedly took out a wooden stick and pushed it behind the door, and his expression relaxed a little.

"Brother-in-law, who is this Mr. Huang? Why do bandits still say this?"

Leng Yan thought a lot in just a moment. He is the soon-to-be-appointed magistrate of Quanyang County. If these things can be figured out in advance, it would be best.

"Hey, this is a long way to say it. There are three major harms in Quanyang County: the tiger-skinned County Magistrate Zhang, the county magistrate Liu, and the bandit-skinned Fourth Master Huang."

The old man's voice was very small, and he didn't forget to look out when he spoke.

"These bandits are the subordinates of Mr. Huang. They are both bandits and soldiers. Some of the small leaders even serve in the yamen. However, they do everything evil and dominate. The people dare not speak out, so they will hide when they see them."

The old man said here, as if he had thought of something sad, and his eyes couldn't help but start to turn red.

Leng Yan's emotional intelligence is not low, and he can tell at a glance that there must be something hidden behind it.

"Quanyang County is so chaotic. Isn't anyone taking care of it? What did the former county magistrate eat?"

Jiang Wei is also a bloody man, especially he is afraid of evil forces bullying the people.

"Hey, don't mention it. The former county magistrate and these are all together. I heard that Gao Sheng has recently gone to Hexi County. From now on, the lives of the people in Quanyang will only become more and more difficult."

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head repeatedly.

"I heard a while ago that there would be another county magistrate here. It seemed that it was a third prince. I heard that he was demoted and probably not a good thing."

The old man became more and more angry the more he spoke, and even began to analyze the third prince in front of Leng Yan.

"Cough cough" Jiang Wei coughed twice. When she was about to reveal Leng Yan's identity to the old man, Leng Yan shook her head to stop him.

Judging from the current appearance, the water in Quanyang County is not as deep as it is. It is still difficult to make a comeback here.

"Brother-in-law, maybe the third prince is not as bad as you think?"

When the words came to his mouth, Jiang Wei finally changed his method.

However, the old man who made tea was determined not to find a problem, but the more he would take the initiative to get things up.

At this moment, there was a constant neighing sound outside the teahouse, and the bandits who were about to pass by actually stopped.

"Old Man Li, are you so brave? You dare to hide when you see me, so why don't you get out for me quickly!"

Then an arrogant voice rang out outside.

However, Leng Yan felt that the sound seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

The old tea-burning man next to him turned his face instantly ugly after hearing the sound.

His whole body began to tremble. After a little dull, he actually wanted to open the door.

Leng Yan first gave Jiang Wei a secret wink.

"Brother-in-law, if you have any inconvenience, just tell us that we will help you block these bandits outside." Then he said to the old man.

However, the old man seemed to have not heard Leng Yan's words.

"Oh, it seems that I can't escape it. Two guests, you are hiding here, don't come out, remember."

After he finished speaking, he responded loudly.

"Several masters wait for a while. How dare you hide when the old man sees you? He just went into the house to see if there is any fresh tea. He is planning to cook it for him?"

After leaving the door, I didn't forget to pull the door tightly.

"Hmph, this is almost the same. You are not afraid to measure your old man!" The arrogant voice sounded again.

"However, Old Man Li, I'm not here to have tea today. This month it's your girl's turn to serve my master. Come here in advance to notify you, and also remind you to remind you, please hide your girl, and never be seen by the county magistrate and the county magistrate."

"This? Master Wu? Didn't my daughter just come back from the parody last month? Why is it my turn again!"

Old Man Li shouted anxiously after hearing this.

"What? I came back last month? Humph, you are lucky. This month, my boss called you and asked for your girl, so you can do it carefully!" The arrogant voice suddenly became cold.

"Master Wu, please, can you tell me if I can let my daughter go, please."

Old Man Li knelt down as he spoke, and he was already crying.

As a result, what was waiting for him this time was not a reply, but a cold whip, bang!

A whip mark appeared on Old Man Li's body. The whip was very powerful and directly pulled Old Man Li to the ground.

"It's too much!" Leng Yan and Jiang Wei in the inner room cursed angrily.

Although they have been in contact with this old man for a long time, judging from his style of conduct, they are definitely kind and simple people.

"Jiang Wei, teach me a good lesson first!"

Leng Yan subconsciously clenched his fist, no matter who the sound outside was,

But as far as his behavior is concerned, I don't want to let him go.

If he hadn't been just an ordinary person now, he would have taught him a lesson himself.

On Earth, such scenes will only be born on TV, Leng Yan just watches them, and even sneer at them, thinking that the performance is too exaggerated.

But now when things were truly born in front of him, Leng Yan realized that feeling of frustration.

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Wei, who was standing beside him, had been waiting for Leng Yan to give the order.

After saying that, he kicked the door of the thatched hut far away.

The next second he had appeared in front of a bandit soldier who seemed to be the leader.

Without saying a word, he slapped his arm around and slapped several times!
