This hotel was newly opened and there were not too many guests. Qian County Cheng and his entourage teased the female shopkeeper and continued walking into the lobby. They occupied four tables, one for Qian County Cheng, two for the government servants, and one for the other four people.
, and then called the waiter to serve the food and drinks.
There was a small table in the lobby, and there was a storyteller sitting on it, talking with flying voice. Before the food and drinks were served, everyone subconsciously listened to a few words.
Bang! The storyteller slapped the wooden board and said colorfully: "It's too late, it's too soon!" In an instant, a golden light descended from the sky and enveloped Fang Qingtian, blocking the evil Shang Ming's spell.
Afterwards, Qingtian shouted loudly, turned over and stood on the wall of the Forbidden City, took advantage of the situation, spit out a pearl and shot it at Shang Ming, hoping to take only Shang Ming's life..."
Qian County Prime Minister and all the government officials were stunned when they heard this. Why did Fang County Zun turn from an official into a god after not being in the capital for a while? Is that evil Shang Ming the Dongchang Admiral Shang Eunuch? The world is changing too fast?
There were whispers at the table next to the four people, and the guard named Niutou said dissatisfied: "Once the factory guards decline, these rumors will become more and more baseless. They will simply become rumors. What is spread is all nonsense! There are no factory guards.
Is it possible to ban evil words?"
But no one answered, and both the young master and the maid looked towards the counter. Unexpectedly, the young master pointed at the female shopkeeper on the counter and said to Niutou: "Go up and tease her!"
Niu Tou was startled, and responded in a low voice: "A villain would not do anything to tease a common girl..."
"If you don't know it, just learn it!" The young master said impatiently: "Have you never heard the story of Liangshan Heroes? Then why did Wu Song Wudutou molest women in Happy Forest? Just learn it!"
Niutou had no choice but to stand up and walk to the counter. Holding the counter, he shouted: "Do you have any good wine here? Give me a few cents to try it!"
The female shopkeeper replied: "I'm just here to settle accounts and collect money, and don't care about making drinks. If you want a good drink, just go and tell the waiter!"
Niu Tou secretly gritted his teeth and shouted again: "It's boring for me to stand here, and it's boring for me to drink. How about I go over and drink with my brother to relieve my boredom?"
The female shopkeeper rolled her eyes and just lowered her head to pick up the beads on the abacus. A pretty person like her would inevitably encounter a deceitful person when she showed up in a restaurant. She couldn't get angry, so she just pretended not to hear.
Niutou looked back at the young master, and with a grimace stretched out a big hand across the counter, about to grab the female shopkeeper. However, the female shopkeeper twisted lightly and managed to dodge Lushan's claws. Niutou stretched out his hand again
Go to catch him. The female shopkeeper effortlessly dodged left and right and was never touched.
After reaching out over and over again, he couldn't even touch the hem of the female shopkeeper's skirt. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she was too embarrassed to continue. Could a hungry tiger pounce on her in broad daylight?
Therefore, he could only return to his seat in disgrace, feeling so embarrassed that he could not even raise his head under the contemptuous eyes of his tablemates.
The young master curled his lips and mocked: "You said you can't even tease civilian girls. No wonder a hereditary royal guard can only be treated as a pawn."
Then the young master stood up quickly and came to the counter. He patted the counter and shouted: "Master, I think this store has good feng shui. You give me a price and I'll buy it!"
Although welcoming customers with a smile is the basic skill of a store owner, the female shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it at this moment. Is this gang finished?
Opening a store is a very worrying thing, and you need to deal with all aspects of it. She did not hesitate to sacrifice her life to open a store here. The important reason is to have a big tree with her back so she can enjoy the shade. Having the county government looking after her will save her a lot of worry.
Why did everything go against her expectations? There were so many blind people on the first day of business? She had clearly hinted that she had something to do with the county government just now. But she still couldn't scare the rest of the crowd? Could it be that the fortune teller had deceived her and that today was not an auspicious day?
The female shopkeeper raised her head angrily. "I think this gentleman looks like a dog. Why can't a dog spit out ivory? If the store is sold to you, where will I live?"
The young master replied nonchalantly: "Of course we sold it together with the shop owner." The female shopkeeper laughed angrily, "Then let's say it clearly, if the slave family doesn't agree, the guest sir, don't say anything again!"
The young master chuckled a few times and said, "It's not up to you." Then he ordered the little maid beside him: "Take her back to her seat so we can have a nice chat!"
The female shopkeeper immediately shouted to Qian County Cheng in the lobby: "You are probably all county government servants, and there are also ordinary officials. There are people buying and selling by force in the world here. You see?
I don’t care if I get there!”
Two government officials had the idea of being a hero to save the beauty, and they were about to stand up, but they were stopped by Qian Xian Cheng. "You don't even think about what the background of those four people is, can you manage them!"
Everyone thought that these four people were guests sent by the Datong Guarding Eunuch's Mansion. The Datong Guarding Eunuch was the famous Wang Zhi, and a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. How could their little government servants be able to take care of Eunuch Wang's guests?
The little maid stepped forward and reached out to pull the female shopkeeper. However, she was unprepared for a moment, but the female shopkeeper blocked her wrist and pushed her with her backhand. This made the little maid take three or four steps back to stabilize herself.
The little maid was anxious, scolded, and stepped forward again. The skirt was under her feet and it was difficult to move, so she still had to use her hands and waved to the head of the female shopkeeper.
But the female shopkeeper was also unequivocal. She dodged past an iron bridge, and her jade hands suddenly turned into steel claws and locked the little maid's wrist. After a few rounds of back and forth, the two women's arms were intertwined.
Niu Tou, the nominal guard, was sweating coldly when he saw this, and murmured to himself: "How could I meet such a woman who knows martial arts all over the world? If this female shopkeeper just put a stick in my eye, I really wouldn't be able to defend myself."
At this moment, someone at the door shouted: "The county police officer is here, let go! Don't move! Who told people to report to the official?"
It turns out that a waiter just now caught the eye of the female shopkeeper and ran to the county office across the street to report to the official. It was not too late when he arrived.
The female shopkeeper looked up and shouted to Qu: "Boss Zhang! The women just opened today, and there are so many troublemakers. They not only tease the women but also buy and sell by force. You, the manager, have to make the decision for the women!"
"
It turned out that Zhang Gui, the head of the team, had arrived in person. He never lags behind when it was time to be active. When he saw this, he raised his hand and said, "I can't be your master. Today happens to be the day when the eldest gentleman is trying the case. Go to the court and call for help."
The elder just makes the decision!"
"Then go to the court and argue!" the young master said nonchalantly.
The yamen servants on the side of Qian County Magistrate watched the excitement. Until Zhang Gui came in and said a few words, there was a lot of discussion: "This stupid Zhang Gui actually became the chief supervisor? It seems that he is very important to the county magistrate."
Qian Xianxian Cheng didn't speak, only sneered again and again. Are Eunuch Wang's guests so easy to judge? Just wait to see Fang Qingtian's joke!
At this time, the magistrate of Fangda County was sitting in the court, doing nothing more than trying cases, throwing out lots, and making boards. To be honest, for time travellers, sitting in court to try cases was awe-inspiring at first.
It's very fresh, but after a long time, it becomes the same.
However, even if the duties are boring, the county magistrate has to put up notices on time to review cases. If there is too much backlog, it will affect the assessment and reputation. Compared with the officials in the capital, this is where people-friendly officials have the most control.
However, he said that it was the summer tax collection time a while ago, and the county government's main focus was on tax collection. There were a lot of cases accumulated, and Fang Yingwu dedicated his time to adjudicating the cases today.
He had just judged the case all morning when he saw Zhang Gui, the head of the team, going to the lobby to report: "Someone reported to the hotel opposite that he was molesting a peasant girl and buying and selling by force."
Then five or six people were ushered into the hall. Fang Yingwu lowered his head and took a few sips of tea. When he raised his head, he suddenly found a pair of bulging eyes staring at him. Looking closer, Fang Yingwu almost stood up in shock.
.Who does this look like if it’s not Eunuch Wang?
Then he looked around Eunuch Wang. They were all acquaintances, Miss Sun, whom he often thought about (a look of resentment), and the two guardsmen in uniform, Niu Tou and Ma Mian (a look of admiration).
His eyes returned to Wang Zhi, and Fang Zhixian didn't know what to say for a while. He couldn't help complaining in his heart. Can't Wang Zhi tell him in advance every time he returns to Beijing? He always appears in different ways, and suddenly appears to scare people!
As for the other side, there was the fierce Madam He... Fang Zhixian glanced back and forth a few times, and he automatically figured out what happened.
Wang Zhi must have sneaked back to the capital to look for her. She accidentally entered the hotel opposite. When she saw Lady He and thought of herself, she became jealous and deliberately caused trouble to embarrass herself. Lady He didn't know Wang Zhi's background.
Not to be outdone in defending sovereignty...
It has to be said that the scene imagined by Fang Zhixian is quite close to the truth. Although Fang Yingwu really wanted to call Wang Zhi into a small room next to him to talk, he couldn't now.
Every move of the county magistrate in the courtroom is very particular, especially when judging a case. It is most taboo to find someone to talk to in private in front of the public. If word spreads, it will definitely be a case of favoritism and perversion of the law.
Fang Yingwu could only cough heavily and said in a deep voice: "Even a trivial matter will lead to a lawsuit in court. Do you really think that this county is a parent-official who has nothing to do? Let's reconcile as soon as possible and apologize to each other.
, and then disperse! Don’t waste time here!”
Madam He was a woman with sharp ears and eyes. She secretly observed people's words and emotions, and suddenly she felt that Mr. Fang's attitude was a bit strange. The four people next to him were definitely old acquaintances. She didn't know why Magistrate Fang was in trouble.
She then stepped forward and said: "What the county magistrate said is absolutely true. If the civilian woman thinks about it carefully, she may be joking. It's just that the civilian woman couldn't bear it, so she was panicked and reported it to the official. So the civilian woman is also wrong."
At this point, I would rather withdraw the lawsuit and not waste my time."
Fang Yingwu praised in his heart, this Mrs. He is really considerate, she knows how to obey when she should obey, and she is also smart in what she says in an emergency!
The misunderstanding was all a misunderstanding. The plaintiff stopped making trouble, and the matter was naturally over. Fang Zhixian then said to Mrs. He in a friendly manner: "Since you are lenient in treating others, I will fulfill your wish for reconciliation."
Wang Zhi looked on with cold eyes, muttering in her heart "dog man and woman".
After that, Fang Yingwu let everyone disperse, and arranged for Fang Yingshi to quietly bring Wang Zhi and others to the county government guest house. When the sun set in the west, Fang Zhixian ended his work for the day and went to the guest house to find Wang Zhi.
After shooing away the people around him, Fang Yingwu asked straightforwardly: "Why did you come back to the capital?" Wang Zhi asked back: "What a joke, why can't I come back?"
Fang Yingwu thought to himself that this question was indeed inappropriate, so he asked again: "Why did you sneak back to the capital again?"
Wang Zhi curled her lips and said: "Do I have to make a big fanfare when I return to Beijing and advertise it widely? Or do you have something secret in your heart?"
There was no conversation, so Fang Yingwu had to ask again: "What do you want to do with your sudden return to the capital?" Wang Zhi's answer was still very uncooperative: "What does it have to do with you?"
Fang Yingwu was a little bit crazy. Can he still talk properly with this attitude? With Wang Zhi's temperament, since he secretly returned to Beijing, he must have some new ideas.
He explained carefully: "I'm not questioning you, it's because you shouldn't have returned to Beijing in the first place. For the long term, the lower your profile, the better! Sneaking back to Beijing is not the right way. If you are discovered, it will only draw attention to yourself, so you
Honestly, let’s wait in Datong for a few years before we talk!”
Afraid that she wouldn't understand, Fang Yingwu said again: "Do you believe it or not? If Shang Ming hadn't collapsed, you would definitely have been ruined this time and would not know whether you were alive or dead? That was definitely a situation that was pointed out by thousands of people and added insult to injury!
Fortunately, nothing has been revealed, but looking at the whole palace and outside, you have taken an unknown amount of risk. Now is a rare opportunity to calm down. You must seize the opportunity to fade away the past and never cause trouble again! Not to mention your age.
Big, totally affordable.”
Wang Zhi responded: "Do you think of me as an ignorant girl? I have my own opinions in my heart. I don't want you to worry too much."
Fang Yingwu stared at Wang Zhi, always feeling that there was something different about her coming back this time. In the past, Eunuch Wang was always calm and confident, cheerful and cheerful in doing things, but today he is a bit chicken-headed and short-sighted...
.
Wang Zhi felt uncomfortable being looked at, so she avoided Fang Yingwu's gaze and said, "Let's get down to business, the location opposite the county government office is good, how about leaving it to me for now?"
Fang Yingwu let out a long sigh, "Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi, you turned out to be a generous person who returned after losing a lot of money. How did you end up like this after not seeing each other for a few days? You are competing with others for a shabby hotel!"
Wang Zhi couldn't help but sigh, "Where did you think you were going? Do you think I would be jealous of that hotel lady? Of course I am useful! I originally wanted to take it from He, but she didn't give her face. Look,
Let’s do it!”
Fang Yingwu frowned and said, "What do you want in that place?"
Wang Zhi replied: "The West Factory is gone. When I return to the capital, I always want to find a secret stronghold that no one knows about. I think this place is good. No one can think of it, and it is convenient to contact you."
In fact, it is not bad to live in the county government office, but it is not suitable for the large number of people in the county government office. After thinking about it, I would like to go to the hotel opposite to get the best of both worlds." (To be continued...)
