(26)Private visit(1)

The autumn is bright and cool, and it is indeed a good day for travel. The king's life is undoubtedly dull. Staying in the palace all day long, in the words of Bai Yunqi, that is, "I'm having trouble getting bored."

As soon as I left the palace gate, I couldn't help but get off the white horse. This good horse who had experienced the killing of the battlefield yearned for a wilderness. After leaving the city with a large crowd, my eyes suddenly became wide open. Without waiting for the whip of the white horse, I couldn't help but run.

Looking at the beautiful rivers and mountains in front of him, Bai Yunqi felt relieved. He gently activated his mount and instantly turned into a ray of smoke and dust and left quickly. Seeing this, Hu Zi and other personal soldiers behind him saw this, how could the young man be willing to fall behind? He was also rushing to chase the general.

After more than a month of hard work, the surrounding area of ​​Duliang City has basically returned to its peace. A large number of refugees have returned to their homes. The smoke from the village can be seen in the desolate fields. The tenacious endurance of human beings has once again overcome the trauma of war, and life will continue in the end.

After running down a rapid period, Bai Yunqi then slowed down. Occasionally, when he saw crops planted on the road, he would stop and take a look. After running down one morning, Bai Yunqi was a little tired. He wanted to find a tea shop on the side of the road, drink some of the most ordinary willow tea, and listen to the chat of pedestrians. It seemed that he could go back to the years of happy world.

Perhaps it was because the war ended. Even on the official road, there were few tea shops. I didn’t have to find a house. When I walked in, I saw that the business of the tea shop seemed very light, and only three or two businessmen were resting and chatting.

Bai Yunqi and his five-member team walked into the tea shop, and the owner immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. Although Bai Yunqi and others had changed into plain clothes, the Chinese clothes were still a little out of place compared to this shabby little tea shop. The owner was a little embarrassed. He was in his fifties and asked Bai Yunqi with a blushing face, "How many guests, do you want to take a rest to drink tea?"

Bai Yunqi seemed to feel some inconsistency. His group of people looked a bit conspicuous. It seemed that they would be more low-key when they came out in the future, at least they should not wear them too well.

"You are just joking, the shopkeeper. If you don't drink tea and rest, what are you doing?" Bai Yunqi was willing to ease the atmosphere. When they entered the door, the travelers did not dare to speak loudly, so Bai Yunqi smiled and joked with the shopkeeper.

Perhaps Bai Yunqi's kindness infected the shopkeeper, so the shopkeeper laughed a lot more naturally and said to Bai Yunqi: "Please please, please don't laugh at the small place." He let Bai Yunqi and others in, wiped the table and chairs with the rag on hand several times before he asked Bai Yunqi and others to sit down. Bai Yunqi looked at it and smiled bitterly. It was enough to appear in this small mountain shop with a bright look. There was a sage behind him with a sage. It seemed that he had not thought about it carefully this time.

After Bai Yunqi and others were asked to sit down, the shopkeeper then smiled and said, "Do you use tea or drink?"

"Oh? Do you still have wine? What kind of food to eat?" Bai Yunqi ran away and was really hungry. When the shopkeeper heard Bai Yunqi's question, he knew that the big deal had come. His smile on his face became even brighter. He quickly bowed and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say it. Our shop is shabby and tight. The wine came from Xinghua Village, Beijing. The boss is honest. I am the old customer. So I can only get some money. As for food, there is no good thing. It was just that my husband was born in the foot of the back mountain last night. He caught a few hares and asked his wife to wash and stew it in the morning. Should the guest officer come to some?"

The shopkeeper said something a little bit long. At first, he was afraid that Bai Yunqi would be impatient, but when he saw that Bai Yunqi was so interested, he started talking.

"Shopkeeper, you are not kind. I just asked why you only say there is dog meat, not rabbits? Are you afraid that we can't afford the money?" The merchant next to him was dissatisfied after hearing the shopkeeper's words and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. When you arrived just now, the rabbit meat was not here, so naturally I didn't say it." After hearing this explanation, the shopkeeper finished his work and did not make things difficult for the shopkeeper again.

Bai Yunqi smiled when he heard these words. The common people in the mountains and the people were honest and the rabbits were not burned. Thinking of this, Bai Yunqi wanted to make fun of the shopkeeper and wanted to see how he dealt with it. Thinking of this, Bai Yunqi also said with a stern face: "Shopkeeper, you are not kind. Have you ever heard of smelling the fragrance of dog meat, and gods jumping over the wall? If you have dog meat, why don't you sell it to me? Isn't this money given to me?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect that Bai Yunqi was waiting for him here, and his face turned red. He quickly bowed to Bai Yunqi and said, "Young master, don't be angry, it's not that the old boy doesn't sell your dog meat, but if there is one, it's really hard to tell him." Bai Yunqi couldn't understand what the shopkeeper said, but those merchants sighed after hearing this, "Hey! In this world, with wars, people are not as good as dogs."

"Brother, you are wrong. It is said that the king of the country is young and wise, and has ordered a year of tax exemption. Now the war has stopped. I just don't know... Oh, let's not talk anymore, don't talk anymore." The shopkeeper just took the speech and closed his mouth again.

Bai Yunqi came out this time to hear what the people think about the new policy, but the shopkeeper shrank back as soon as he started, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw the shopkeeper's face change and his eyes stared blankly outside.

Before he could turn around, Bai Yunqi had heard a sob, and then someone shouted outside: "Why are you crying? I will take you to the capital to enjoy your happiness. Don't be sad, it will ruin my business."

Bai Yunqi slowly turned around and saw a group of ragged girls parked outside the door of the tea shop. They all looked pale and thin, and they could not tell the specific size of their age. The girls bowed their heads and cried. A dozen men were escorting them, and they were calling out a man in their thirties. If they really used words to describe him, Bai Yunqi only thought of one word, which was "dedicated!, quite dedicated!"

Looking up at the shopkeeper, Bai Yunqi realized that the shopkeeper was now ashamed, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly. Following the shopkeeper's gaze, he noticed that the group of people was still holding a young man dressed as a scholar, and he was tied with a rope. At this moment, the sloppy man was holding the young man to walk into the tea shop.

"Qiao Laoer, your boy is also a scholar? He actually ran to my house to seduce his daughter. I caught him. Now I've sent someone to you. What should I do?" As he said that, the slander looked at the shopkeeper with a sneer. The young man seemed to want to say something, but unfortunately his mouth was already blocked by someone pinched into a ball of weeds and leaves. He was so hard to speak, and he could only be screaming. But Bai Yunqi still saw anger in his eyes, an irresistible anger.

The young man struggled to get rid of it, but the young man kicked it up without any hesitation. The young man hit the wall and blood immediately oozed out of his forehead. The shopkeeper closed his eyes and his legs were weak. He knelt down to the young man and said, "Uncle Hu, the child is ignorant, don't be as knowledgeable as him." While the shopkeeper was pleading, a girl rushed out of the group of girls. I don't know where the strength came from, but actually got rid of a man who grabbed her arm. He rushed to the young man to help him up, and cried, "Brother Qiao Yun, it's Lingxin who harmed you."

Bai Yunqi saw it and kept silent. Hu Zi and the others were a little impatient. Hu Zi and the others were all from hardships, so they could not tell anyone. Before Bai Yunqi could signal, Hu Zi had already stood up suddenly and wanted to take action.

Bai Yunqi wanted to see what was going on, so he quickly passed it over. Hu Zi was angry and sat back again when he saw it.

There are people in this world who are born to be inferior. This slutty man probably belongs to this type. Bai Yunqi asked Hu Zi to sit back. When he saw it, he thought Bai Yunqi was a person who was afraid of trouble, but instead stepped forward and provoked: "What? This brother wants to make a fuss? You don't even ask, what is this uncle doing in the capital? Let me tell you the truth, my brother is the head of the guards next to the king, and he is called Hu Zi. Have you never heard of it? You don't know if you say it."

Hu Zi's eyes suddenly became wide open when he heard this. When did he have such a brother? At this time, the other three guards could no longer hold it in and began to cover their mouths and laugh. Hu Zi was about to have an attack, but he gave Bai Yun a look and pressed back.

Seeing that Bai Yunqi and others were silent, the slap man became even more proud and walked to the shopkeeper and said, "Brother Qiao, I don't make things difficult for you. I heard that your tea shop is okay. Master Hu will give you face. Your son hurts my brother, so use this tea shop as medical expenses."

At this time, the thing stuffed in the young man's mouth was taken out by the girl. The young man who could speak immediately cursed: "Hu Liena, you are not as good as a beast. The king strictly ordered the rent to be reduced. Not only did your family not reduce, but even the crops in the fields were destroyed, you would have to collect rent. If you don't have rent, you would take away your wife and daughter to buy a prostitute. If you lose all your conscience, you will not die a good death."

"Bah! You are so poor. After reading for a few days, you dare to go against your grandfather and seduce my daughter. Today, you Mr. Hu doesn't want this shop anymore. I'll ruin you first." As he said that, Hu Lie raised the stick in his hand with a grim smile and quickly smashed it on the young man's head.

"Hu Zi!" Bai Yunqi had already seen a rough mouth, and Hu Zi jumped out, and kicked Hu Liena with one foot and held her back to the sky. Before she could hit the ground, blood was already overflowing from her mouth.
