The confluence of streams and rivers makes the people benefit, which is the origin of the name of Suixi County.

There is no big river in Suixi County, but the water source is very dense, gathering into several small rivers, the largest of which is the Xixi River, the water source comes from Niuduling in Shicheng County, with a total length of 80 miles.

Although Suixi County is similar to Haikang County, bordering Leizhou Bay to the east and Tokyo Bay to the west, its location is in the middle, far from the coastline, and it is more like an inland county.

It's just that this is the only way for Leizhou City to go outside by land, because the water source in the territory is sufficient, the grain is abundant, and thanks to the salt profit, Suixi City is still prosperous.

In the county yajie, there is a teahouse with a memorial arch, which is engraved with the four big characters of "leisurely teahouse".

The shopkeeper of the teahouse is surnamed Liu, and he has a greasy mouth, whether it is a poor scholar with a sour smell all over his body, or a big financier wearing silk, he can smile and say comforting words, and he has gathered a lot of regular customers, so that the business of the teahouse is very prosperous.

No matter what era it is, there are idlers who don't want to do things, and there are rich people who have nothing to do. If these people find a good place, they can be nailed there from morning till night, as if this is their home.

Youran Restaurant has newly invited a storyteller, but in fact, it is not invited, this is because he saw that there are many people here, so he lazily asked for a few rewards here.

Shopkeeper Liu initially wanted the other party to retreat, because many storytellers had hit this idea, but it often had little effect. The lazy man even has to pay for the tea on credit, but the rich are used to singing big operas, and they don't look down on this storyteller who just talks about it.

It's just that I never expected that the business of the teahouse would be much better because of this storyteller.

"Where did Zhang Min hide the poisonous chicken soup with arsenic? Everyone is also puzzled by this...... Syllable! The so-called poisonous chicken soup is neither poisonous nor chicken, but true! ”

This storyteller's eloquence is very good, his tone is frustrated, and his voice is full of emotion, and he is using language to tell these tea guests about the scene of the retrial of Zhang Min's poisoning of her husband by the Leizhou prefect that day.

Although everyone already knew the result, they did not know the more specific details, let alone what the situation in the court was like that day.

"This son, please!"

Xiao Er, who was standing at the door, was also a little obsessed, but he didn't dare to forget his work, and when he saw a noble man leading some people in, he greeted these new guests in that warm and long tone.

The son-in-law who came in was Lin Haoran, who did not return to Leizhou City by sea, but crossed the strait through the north of Donghai Island, and came to this Suicheng through Tie Rake Town.

The reason why he returned to Leizhou City via Suicheng was for safety reasons, and he wanted to inspect the governance of Suixi County. After all, he is the prefect of Leizhou, and he is not only responsible for Haikang County, but also for the other four counties.

In particular, Suixi Zhixian did not give him a good impression that day, and he couldn't find the north after a few bad water and wine, and he was also shaken out of the fact that he was stripped of his pants by robbers when he went to work.

In fact, he arrived in Suicheng yesterday evening, but he did not alarm the county government and chose to stay at the inn for one night. After breakfast, I walked leisurely around the city, and now I came to this lively teahouse, and I felt the atmosphere of a stock market well when I entered the door.

The teahouse is very large, with private rooms in it, but it has been occupied by several merchants.

Lin Haoran was also not particular, and followed the little two to the tea table a little inside. None of the people at the tea table were listening, some were whispering like spies, and some were talking like speeches.

Lin Haoran really doesn't like the lively atmosphere here, but he is not an overly picky person, and he is very suitable. asked for a pot of good tea, ordered some snacks, and led Hu Niu and the others to sit down.

Tie Zhutou and the others also walked in, but they just pretended not to know each other and sat at another table, guarding Lin Haoran's safety.

Lin Haoran suddenly showed a wry smile on his face, on the left was a matchmaker touting a certain young lady without a lower limit, and on the right was a matchmaker touting a certain son without a lower limit, and the two matchmakers looked at him as if they had found prey.

I have to say that just by virtue of his appearance, if he wants to get rich, I am afraid that there will be a lot of rich ladies fighting for their heads.

The tiger girl had a beautiful head shape and a beautiful slatch given to her by Mrs. Jiang on her head, and the whole person seemed to be in good spirits, eating dried sandworms with relish.

Sandworms, also known as marine cordyceps, are similar in shape and size to Cordyceps, and have extremely high requirements for the quality of the growing environment.

The bugs are usually only one or two centimeters long, and when they are simply treated and dried, they become a dry strip of food with a sweet and crunchy taste that can be stored for a long time.

"Brother, you eat too!" The tiger girl was chewing a sweet dried sandworm in her mouth, and there was a smug energy hidden between her eyebrows, and she delivered a thread to Lin Haoran's mouth.

After Lin Haoran grabbed the sandworm and licked it into her mouth, her eyebrows immediately stretched, and her hanging feet shook. She likes to spend time with her brother and share all kinds of food together, just like she did when they shared porridge together.

Lin Haoran was actually a little resistant to insects, even if this thing was fried to hundreds of catties in later generations, but when he chewed it in his mouth, he found that this thing was very chewy, sweet and delicious, and it was indeed a rare delicacy.

His mouth was savoring it, but he suddenly remembered something, so he told with a straight face: "You can go back to the village to play, but you must pay attention to safety, you can't go to Lion Ridge, you know?" ”

"Oops! Of course I'm going to be safe, but when am I not paying attention? And I don't like to go to Lion Ridge, it's not fun there! The tiger girl replied in a long tone, and said as a matter of course.

Lin Haoran looked at her like this, although she knew that this girl had listened to his warning, but she was still not very relieved. This girl is indeed an idle master, and this head promised him not to hunt down Chen Jiu, but she immediately offered to go back to Changlin Village.

You don't have to think about it to know that once this girl returns to the village, she will definitely run around with the children in the village, and I don't know how many incidents will be caused in Changlin Village.

Fortunately, it is just a remote mountain village after all, and it is estimated that it will not break into any major disasters.

"What are you yelling about, it's noisy, shut up Lao Tzu!"

A man in his forties came in with a birdcage, and when he saw that the storyteller was talking happily, his face darkened, and he pointed at the storyteller and angrily accused.
