Xu Ji five-spice haggis shop, Xie Xiaowan is wearing an apron and is busy making noodles, and the new helper Aunt Qian is helping to clean up the dishes and chopsticks to greet guests, and the little slave is not in the store, and she has not come back when she goes to the county government to see the list.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a blue-gray robe walked in slowly, followed by a guy.

When Xie Xiaowan saw this person, she greeted with a smile: "Don't care about it, Aunt Qian, make a table for Careless Mo!" ”

Aunt Qian hurriedly cleaned up a table and said with a smile: "Don't care, please sit down, what do you have to eat today?" ”

Steward Mo sat down, stretched out his right hand wearing jade plate fingers and knocked on the table and said, "Let's have a bowl of spiced haggis!"

"Okay, don't worry about waiting, I'll bring it to you right away!"

Steward Mo waved his hand and said, "Let the boss lady come, your hands are dirty!" ”

Aunt Qian retreated in embarrassment, and Xie Xiaowan personally brought up a bowl of spiced haggis, and said with a sweet smile: "Don't worry about it, your spiced haggis." ”

Steward Mo nodded, glanced left and right and asked, "Boss, where is the little slave?" Aren't you talking about condor shooting today? ”

It is said that since the little slave became obsessed with condor shooting, every time Xu Jin finished writing an episode, he would be the first to take it to watch, and once he helped in the store and read the manuscript with his eyebrows. It so happened that a diner asked him what he was reading, so the kid improvised a paragraph, which aroused the interest of the diners, and they asked him to continue.

Gradually, more and more people came to the store to listen to the little slave talk about "Shooting the Condor", and some of the addicted ones were waiting outside before they even opened.

So, the little slave is even more energetic, every morning must talk about an episode, whenever it comes to "I want to know what will happen next, and set the next time to decompose", looking at the dissatisfaction of the diners, the little slave is full of a sense of achievement!

In other words, this Mo Guan is one of the "fans" of the little slave, and he must come to every game, and the addiction is not ordinary.

Xie Xiaowan smiled apologetically: "Today's county trial list, the little slave went to see the list and hasn't come back yet!" ”

Mo Guan sighed regretfully and said: "The contemptible people have forgotten about this, with Xu Gongzi's talent, it must be very easy to pass the county test!" ”

At this moment, the little slave ran in from outside, her red face was full of excitement, and as soon as she came in, she shouted loudly: "Sister Xiaowan, Daxi, my brother-in-law has won the first place in the county trial, the first place in the county!" ”

Xie Xiaowan said in surprise: "Really? ”

The little slave smiled and said: "I saw with my own eyes, the red paper and black letters are written on the list, and there will be fakes!" ”

"Congratulations to the hostess!" A crowd of diners congratulated.

Xie Xiaowan's pretty face smiled like a flower, and immediately decided that everyone present was free to celebrate Xianggong winning the first place in the county trial, and the audience applauded in an instant, eat it for free, can you not applaud?

"Little slave, come and have a section of condor shooting to satisfy your cravings, hurry up, continue the original text, and pick up the book!" A diner urged loudly.

Mo Guan was also in good spirits, but at this moment, a man walked in quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.

Steward Mo frowned, took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, got up and walked out.

The little slave was about to start the lecture, and when he saw that the audience had left, he couldn't help but be a little depressed, and even shouted: "Hey, don't worry about it, it's going to start talking soon, where are you going?" ”

"The contemptible person has an urgent matter temporarily, but whatever!" Steward Mo shook his head regretfully.

The little slave sighed, pointed to the silver on the table and shouted, "Sister Xiaowan said that today is free, take the silver!" ”

"It's a congratulatory gift from a contemptible person to Xu Gongzi." Steward Mo waved his hand and took the two guys to the Hengfeng carriage and horse travel opposite.

The diners in the store are so envious that their eyes are shining, this ingot of silver is probably ten taels, what does this matter about, it is so generous?

Aunt Qian's eyes also lit up, and she picked up the ingot of silver, kissed it and said: "Ten taels of snowflake silver, I have never seen so much money in my life, this is the real rich family, even the steward is so generous!" ”

The little slave couldn't help but roll her eyes, although this Aunt Qian worked hard, she loved to be greedy and cheap, and she would secretly take away the leftover haggis sold in the store on weekdays, so the little slave was very displeased with her, and reached out to take the silver ingot back, and hummed: "No merit, how can you take such silver from others for nothing, Sister Xiaowan, you take it first, and return it to him next time you don't care!" ”

Xie Xiaowan touched the little slave's head approvingly, took the silver and put it away, she also thought so, everyone had a general friendship, and it was really abnormal for the other party to give such a heavy gift!

Aunt Qian pursed her lips secretly: "After receiving the money, I still have to fake Qinggao, I want to see if you don't pay it back next time." ”

……

When the manager arrived at the Hengfeng carriage and horse shop opposite, more than a dozen carriages on the site had been loaded with goods and were ready to go.

Mo Guan went straight into the inner hall of the carriage and horse shop, and saw a man who was extremely strong and sturdy sitting there with a golden knife, and there was a cold and shining Pu knife on the coffee table next to him.

Steward Mo stepped forward and saluted, "Why did Master Wu come in person?"

The big man said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, Jiangxi Governor Sun Sui's old horseman transferred two guards to encircle and suppress us, we have difficulty getting food in Leadshan County, Lao Tzu's brothers lack food and clothing, and are still starving, when will the food be delivered?" ”

This big man's name is Wu Sanba, one of the many thieves who colluded with King Ning's mansion, and was responsible for secretly helping King Ning eradicate dissidents and plunder people's wealth.

Wu Sanba received an order from King Ning at the end of last year, in order to force Fei Hong to submit, he did a lot of bad things in Leadshan County, digging the ancestral grave of the Fei family, burning the Fei family's house was done by him, and finally even attacked the county town of Leadshan, captured Fei Hong's eldest brother Fei Dian, and killed people afterwards. In addition, the group of water thieves who attacked the big ship before were also brothers under Wu Sanba.

Since the impact on the county seat of Leadshan, Wu Sanba led hundreds of thieves under his command to openly act as thieves, operating in the territory of Leadshan County, going out to loot, making people panic and the people are not able to make a living, and after several months of development, the thieves under Wu Sanba have grown rapidly, and now they are close to 1,000 people.

Recently, Sun Sui, the new governor of Jiangxi, has already obtained an official letter of approval for the request for troops, and transferred two guards in Jiangxi, totaling more than 10,000 people, to Leadshan County to encircle and suppress the thieves. So Wu Sanba has not had a good time recently, and this time he personally rushed to Shangrao County to urge grain.

Steward Mo said cautiously: "Wu Dangjia is angry, the first batch of grain has already set off yesterday, and now the second batch is also ready to go, and it will be delivered soon!" ”

Wu Sanba snorted coldly and said: "It's far from enough, Lao Tzu has a lot of people, and he has at least three thousand stone of grain." ”

Steward Mo couldn't help frowning, as far as he knew, Wu Sanba's subordinates were only about 1,000 people, and asking for 3,000 stone of grain was simply a lion's big mouth, which was enough for 1,000 people to eat for more than half a year.

But now the prince has to rely on Wu Sanba, although Mo Guan is dissatisfied in his heart, he doesn't dare to say much, and nods and says: "The contemptible people will raise food as soon as possible, but now it is spring ploughing, and it will take some time to raise food!" ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care, anyway, three thousand stone grain can't be missing, you must know that Lao Tzu pins his head to the belt of his trousers and works for the prince, Lao Tzu's brothers must have enough to eat, if you can't do it, get out of the house as soon as possible, and let the prince send others!"

Steward Mo said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wu Dangjia, the contemptible people will definitely deliver the food on time!" ”

Wu Sanba nodded and said coldly: "We also need all kinds of medicines, drinks and weapons!" ”

"Medicine and wine are easy to handle, but weapons can only get a small amount, if the Wu family wants to have a large demand, it is recommended to send someone to ask the prince!"

Wu Sanba knew that this was also true, snorted coldly, picked up the Pu knife on the coffee table, put on the hat and walked out of the inner hall.

Steward Mo breathed a sigh of relief, dealing with this kind of murderous thief, Rao is experienced steward like him felt a lot of pressure.

……

Xu Jin and a group of classmates finished eating in Linjiang Building It was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was said that this puffer fish banquet was really good, and there was a lingering fragrance after eating, but it was just a trembling meal, because this thing was highly poisonous, if the chef did not handle it well, even a little bit of toxin residue was enough to kill a table of people.

It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that you desperately eat puffer fish!

Because he drank wine and was slightly drunk, Xu Jin did not return to the academy and said goodbye to everyone and went home alone.

"Xu Gongzi!"

Xu Jin almost returned to the haggis shop, and happened to meet the postman Gu Mancang on the street.

It was the spring of March, the weather was warmer, and the barn was not as windy and frosty as it was a year ago.

Xu Jin smiled: "Brother Gu, is this to deliver a letter?" ”

Gu Mancang nodded and said, "Yes, there happens to be a letter from Xu Gongzi, which is also sent from Yugan County!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Gu!" Xu Jin took the letter from Gu Mancang.

Gu Mancang rubbed his hands and smiled: "Xu Gongzi is polite to me, by the way, I passed by the county government just now, and I saw the county trial list, congratulations to Xu Gongzi for winning the first place in the county trial." ”

Xu Jin smiled and thanked him and invited the latter to sit in the store, but the latter politely refused and had to rush to the house.

After Xu Jin waved goodbye to Gu Mancang, he opened the letter and looked at it, as expected, the letter was sent by his father-in-law, saying that something was delayed, and his two brothers-in-law had to resign until April to come, alas, Xiaowan's girl had to be disappointed again.

Xiaowan's two eldest brothers, who originally said that they would come to visit after the Lantern Festival a few years ago, but the letters were postponed twice in succession, which inevitably made people worry, and they didn't know what was going on at home.

Xu Jin returned to the store, and a group of diners came forward to say goodbye, the fourteen-year-old county trial leader, the future is limitless, and everyone is naturally happy.

Xu Jin had to get out after a while, pulled Xiaowan into the inner house, and told her about her father-in-law's letter, and the girl lowered her head in disappointment after hearing it.

Xu Jin hugged her lightly and comforted: "If the uncle hasn't come after the house test, the husband will take you back to your mother's house!" ”

Xie Xiaowan nodded, she was really a little worried about her family.

"By the way, today I left ten taels of silver, saying that I congratulated you on winning the first place in the county trial!" Xie Xiaowan took out the ingot of silver and said.

Xu Jin frowned and said, "Don't you care about the person who often comes to listen to books?" Pay him back next time, we can't ask for this money! ”

is the so-called merit is not punished, not to mention that he just passed the county test, and he can't give such a thick gift, something is abnormal.
