Gao Yanei watched Ximen Qing's slap on his face with complicated emotions.
This moment seems like a year.
As Ximen Qing withdrew his hand, Gao Yanei only had time to react and raise his hand to cover the numb left side of his face.
This time, Ximen Qing did not bother to use the power of the thunder stone, but simply slapped Gao Yanei across the face.
Gao Yanei was stunned when he looked at Ximen Qing's clothes.
Lin Chong thought that Ximen Qing was coming to persuade him, but he didn't expect that Ximen Qing rushed forward and gave Gao Yanei a hard blow without saying a word.
It is estimated that neither Gao Qiu nor Gao Sanlang, Gao Yanei's biological father, had ever beaten him like this.
Wu Song rushed to the front, facing Ximen Qing back to back, with his arms spread out, blocking the path of the entourage, and whispered: "Good fight!"
After Ximen Qing finished the slap, he had no thought of "getting out of here" or any further action. He just smiled and looked at Gao Yanei as he rubbed the numb left side of his face.
"Ouch!" Gao Yanei hesitantly shouted out the pain. Looking at Ximen Qing in front of him and the uniform of the Imperial City Officer, Gao Yanei asked hesitantly: "Why did you hit me?
"
Gao Qiu rose from a low-income family to his current position of high authority. Except for a few people in the court, no one dared to offend him, so Gao Qiu allowed Gao Yanei to do whatever he wanted.
But Gao Qiu also gave warnings to his adopted son. Gao Yanei even forgot about his father, Gao Sanlang, and could not forget this warning.
"Don't be afraid of anyone. Of course I will support you." Gao Qiu said to his adopted son very seriously: "If you meet someone from the Imperial City Division, you must not mess with them. Even if you suffer a loss, don't confront them. Come back.
Tell me what happened."
So when Gao Yanei saw Ximen Qing's obedience, his heart softened, and he felt weak even when he asked questions.
When Ximen Qing heard this, he knew that he had guessed correctly. Although the rank of the Imperial City Secretary was not high, it was taboo for all officials, so they had to sell it to save some face.
"A mosquito just landed on Yanei's face. I slapped it for Yanei out of kindness." Ximen Qing was still smiling, which made Gao Yanei feel a little scared.
"What role does this officer who smiles like a fox belong to the Imperial City Department?"
Gao Ya was worried in his heart. He covered his face and forced a smile: "Thank you so much for this officer."
"No thanks!" Ximen Qing laughed and said, "Who told me to catch up just in time? Remember to apply some medicine after leaving the office."
Under Lin Chong's surprised gaze, Gao Yanei secretly gritted his teeth and ran away from Ximen Qing in despair.
The followers were all stunned. Gao Yanei covered his face and whispered: "Go back!"
Seeing a group of people push away the crowd and run away, the people watching from all sides suddenly burst into cheers.
"good!"
"Well played!"
"This Huahua is too old, and she only realized how powerful she is today!"
Mrs. Lin Chong also quickly ran to her officials, bowed deeply to Ximen Qing and Wu Song and said, "Thank you so much for your help."
While talking, Mrs. Lin Chong secretly tugged at Lin Chong's clothes.
"Brother Ximen offended Yanei for Lin Chong, and Lin Chong was extremely ashamed!"
After regaining consciousness, Lin Chong expressed his gratitude to Ximen Qing and pointed out the consequences: "Gao Yanei will definitely not give up when he goes back this time!"
"Why are you afraid of him?" Ximen Qing laughed and said: "This person is as timid as a mouse. He doesn't even dare to ask me my name. If it weren't for the power of Captain Gao, I would think this person is at best a flower mouse! Haha!"
Lin Chong was about to apologize when there was a commotion from the crowd outside, but it was the arrogant Master Lu who picked up the iron Zen staff and brought twenty or thirty rogues to settle down, pushing the crowd into chaos.
Ximen Qing and others hurriedly stepped forward. After Lin Chong explained the situation, Lu Zhishen gave Ximen Qing a thumbs up and said, "Brother, this slap is very good! It's just that the strike was a little soft. If he meets Sajia, he will definitely eat three hundred dollars."
Let’s go again with the Zen staff!”
Everyone laughed, and Lin Chong asked his wife to come up and see Lu Zhishen, and invited Ximen Qing and others to have a gathering at his house.
Lu Zhishen was quite disappointed when he heard that Lin Chong did not dare to punch, and he was a little uninterested, so he excused himself: "The staff method has just been created, and there are still some problems in it. If the Sa family wants to think about it carefully today, you might as well go on your own!
"
Ximen Qing had long known from the Water Margin that Lin Chong had always swallowed his anger. If it hadn't been for a series of incidents, he wouldn't even have thought of going to Liangshan. However, Liangshan might not have rebelled now, so why force Lin Chong to go to Liangshan?
Seeing Lin Chong's invitation, Ximen Qing happily obeyed and followed Lin Chong back with Wu Song. Lin Chong was overjoyed and ordered Jin'er to help his wife move forward. He, Ximen Qing and Wu Song followed behind, chatting while walking.
When they arrived at Lin Chong's house, Lin Chong ordered a banquet and drank with Ximen Qing and Wu Song. They were very different, and Lin Chong was not interested in drinking. He chatted with Ximen Qing about the wine business, and then he realized that Ximen Qing was not only
I haven't bought the restaurant, and I haven't even found my home. I currently live in Xixi Building.
It was also a sudden thought. Lin Chong said: "In terms of restaurants, Lin Chong doesn't have any ideas; but right now, the large courtyard on the right side of Lin Chong's mansion is empty. Why doesn't Brother Ximen come and live here?"
When Ximen Qing asked carefully, he realized that the right side of Lin Chong's mansion was originally occupied by a rich man with a big business. Unexpectedly, he suddenly passed away before the month, leaving behind two young masters with two bedrooms. The eldest was only three years old, and the younger was dissatisfied.
One year old.
The first wife took possession of the eldest young master and wanted to return all the property to her own, and wanted to evict the second housekeeper and the young master. Fortunately, the housekeeper was very loyal. Seeing the young master's suffering, he became a middleman and wanted to sell the house. The main wife and the second housekeeper each received half of the property.
, there are also several shops and properties, all of which are good.
Seeing that everyone was looking for the second house, the wife had no choice but to agree. Now everything else has been transferred, except that the house is quite big and she can't find a good buyer for the time being. If it is sold at a low price, it will not be good for the orphans and widows.
, so he hesitated and failed to take action.
"If two brothers take over this house, they can get together from time to time!" Lin Chong said: "Lin Chong and his junior brother can also spar with fists and weapons!"
Wu Song did not say anything after hearing this, and only looked at Ximen Qing with his eyes, obviously taking the lead of his sworn brother in everything.
Ximen Qing naturally had no problem with being Lin Chong's neighbor, and he could even prevent Gao Yanei from sending Lu Qian to plot against Lin Chong. He immediately agreed: "This is a good thing, but has the house been vacated now?"
"It has been vacated a long time ago, and now only the housekeeper is guarding the yard." Lin Chong said happily: "If my dear brother is really interested, Lin Chong can ask the housekeeper to come and see him."
Ximen Qing nodded, and Lin Chong ordered the boy to invite the housekeeper. When the young housekeeper arrived, Ximen Qing saw that he was in his fifties or sixties and had a loyal face, so he asked about the situation of the house.
The housekeeper originally saw that Ximen Qing and Wu Song were both dressed as military officers, so they might not be able to afford a big house. Later, when he heard that Ximen Qing was one of the richest men in Qinghe County, he said happily: "Since you are interested, sir, why don't you go and check it out with me?
Set the price again!”
Immediately, Ximen Qing and Wu Song both wanted to go with the housekeeper to check. Lin Chong got up and followed him. The four of them came to the next door. Ximen Qing saw that the door was quite large, and there were several horse tethering posts. The plaque had been removed, and two
The door is getting wider and wider.
The housekeeper pushed open the ajar door and called Ximen Qing and the other three people to come in and take a look. Although the courtyard had been uninhabited for a long time, the housekeeper often found maids and servants to clean it, so everything was spotless, including the flowers, plants and trees.
Thriving.
After looking at the main house, there is a large courtyard behind, and there are two small buildings echoing each other. Ximen Qing looked at the layout and saw the huge water surface in the middle of the backyard, and there were also rockeries and rocks in the middle. Although it was not large, it was
Better than Kit Kat.
After looking at it for a moment, Ximen Qing secretly thought that this house was specially prepared for him, but there was a pavilion missing in the backyard.
The housekeeper pointed to the stones and wood piled in the corner of the courtyard and said: "There used to be a pavilion here, but the master thought that the pavilion was not built well, so he wanted to demolish it and rebuild it. Unexpectedly, not long after the pavilion was demolished, the master suddenly suffered from an old illness.
, leaving behind orphans and widowed mothers”
Ximen Qing saw that the housekeeper was also loyal to his master, so he asked how much the price was.
The butler thought for a moment and stretched out two fingers and said: "Since the adults value it, I don't dare to ask for more than two thousand guan, but the adults should not lower the price any more."
Lin Chong heard Ximen Qing's clothes being pulled aside and said: "Brother Ximen, when the rich man bought the house, it cost him 1,800 guan. Everything inside was renovated. Two thousand guan is not much at all. That's all.
Lin Chong’s small courtyard also cost 500 yuan!”
Ximen Qing said: "The two thousand guan must be one thousand guan for each family. This housekeeper has a good plan."
When he came back, he said to the housekeeper: "Your price is considered fair, so I will agree to it. It's just that the accountant is not here at the moment. How about I come back tomorrow with Jiaozi to cut over with you?"
The butler was so happy that he naturally agreed.
Wu Song also felt happy after seeing this house, not to mention that he could compete with his senior brother and practice martial arts from time to time, which was really rare.
Ximen Qing and others returned to Lin Chong's courtyard, had a drink, and then dispersed. Before leaving, Lin Chong took Wu Song with him to discuss visiting his teacher, and then he said goodbye reluctantly.
When Ximen Qing and Wu Song returned to Xixi Tower, it happened that the magic fortune teller Jiang Jing had been running around outside for more than a day. He came back almost dead from exhaustion and said to Ximen Qing: "Now I have visited all the restaurants in Bianliang City.
, no one is willing to transfer, I am afraid that Liang Le of Fengle Tower is causing trouble, all the prosperous places are occupied by restaurants and shops, it is really difficult."
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Although this matter is urgent, there must be a way to reach the mountain. There is no point in worrying about it, Mr. Jiang."
After that, he told Jiang Jing about the incident in the house just now, and Jiang Jing heard angrily: "It's good for my boss, who just drinks everywhere and drinks out of the house. Jiang is just a miserable person who broke his legs and accomplished nothing!"
At this moment, the shopkeeper of Xixi Building personally brought tea and asked: "Everyone, are you worried about the store?"
