After the Shiliang River was straightened, the old river channel that passed through Shiliang County was not abandoned, but the prosperity was far less than in the past, and the liveliness in the county was not as good as Shanglindu.

When they came out early in the morning, Lin Jian and others rushed to the county seat in a donkey cart, and it was already three poles in the morning.

With the care of Chen Ling, the chief bookkeeper, it is very convenient to go to the county government to find a household secretary office to handle the naturalization of Zhou Pu and Chen Enze and the change of citizenship of Zhao Hu. Since Zhou Pu's fabricated hometown has fallen into the hands of the Donghu people, Shiliang County cannot verify the identity of Zhou Pu's nephew in northern Hebei, and Shiliang County can only treat them as displaced people. Even so, the Hufang Bookstore was very conscientious, and took out a large stack of wanted documents for sea fishing that had accumulated over the past ten years, and compared them with the appearance of Zhou Pu and Chen Enze.

Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Zhou Pu and others' sea fishing documents are mixed in them, but Zhou Pu's sea fishing documents, Zhou Pu is not called Zhou Pu, but Zhou Bo, a forest leopard, and there is a mustache on the painting. Zhou Pu followed Lin back to Dongyang, especially shaved his mustache clean, and there were still seven or eight points of difference, but neither the household secretary and the county lieutenant thought about Zhou Pu to Liumakou, and took out the sea fishing documents just to go through the motions, and soon turned over.

Chen Enze was a little nervous, but Zhou Pu was calm, and his hand was casually on Chen Enze's shoulder, so that he didn't need to be too nervous; Lin Jian saw that Zhao Hu's face changed slightly, and kicked him lightly, knowing that he had seen Zhou Pu's skills yesterday, and he could probably connect Zhou Pu with that sea fishing document.

Zhao Hu was not without courage, he gave Lin Jian a light kick, and soon returned to normal.

After the passage before noon, the household clerk and the county lieutenant both declined Lin Bin's banquet on official business. It is said that Liang Zuoren was strict under his rule, which can be seen at this time, even in later generations, Lin Jian did not see that the government clerks would refuse others to invite guests to dinner, unless the schedule was full and could not be turned around. The household clerk and the county lieutenant did not refuse the silver bills secretly sealed by Lin Bin, and promised to send the official to personally deliver the tooth tag and ID card as soon as possible.

Lin Jian did not leave the county office in a hurry, and handed over a post to ask to see the county lord.

Yesterday, the teaching Lu Dongyang and the chief bookkeeper Chen Ling were appointed by Liang Zuoren of Zhixian County to come to the door to verify their return from death, although this is a major event that Liang Zuoren must verify immediately, but it can also be understood that the county magistrate cares about him, and Lin Lian, as the only person who has won fame in Shiliang County in this township examination, it is necessary to visit Liang Zuoren, the parent official of Shiliang County, or Liang Zuoren to summon Lin Lian to see him.

The county office is the front and back house, the front office is in charge of official business, the county and his family, and the followers live in the back house, and the doorman goes and returns, saying that it is inconvenient for the guests to meet at the lunch banquet in Liang Zhixian, so that Lin Jian will come again in the afternoon.

Lin Jian didn't feel despised either, and went to the city with Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu, and Chen Size to find a place to eat.

Zhao Hu was a little annoyed, yesterday the teaching and the main book came to the door in person, so that he mistakenly thought that Liang Zuoren, the county magistrate, was very important to Lin Bin, but he didn't expect that at this time, he gave Lin Tie a closed door on the grounds that "it is inconvenient for the guests to meet at noon", and said unevenly for Lin Tie: "What kind of reason is this, when he first went to Shanglindu to hand over the letter to the Lin family when he first went to the post a year ago, it was not this gesture. ”

"What is my background, can Liang Zuoren not know? I can't touch the Lin family. Lin Lian said with a smile, Liang Zuoren may not have known him Lin Lian before, but after the middle school in the test in his hometown and the robbery in Baisha County, how could Liang Zuoren not know that he was just a cowardly and useless son of the Lin family? How much more attention will be paid to him?

"By the way, Zhou Ye is really Huai Shangliu Ma Kou Drill Forest Leopard Zhou Bo?" Zhao Hu still remembered this matter, seeing that there were few people on the street, he asked in a low voice, there was no fear in his expression, and he was somewhat happy.

"Maybe." Lin Jian was noncommittal and said, "Don't talk about this on the street, let's find a place to eat first." If the magistrate is free, I will come over to see you again in the afternoon......"

"Every time Xiao Wu comes back to the county, he must go to a tea hotel, presumably Xiucai you don't know, let's go to that house for dinner......" Zhao Hu said.

"Oh, what kind of tea hotel, what characteristics can make Xiao Wu nostalgic?" Lin Jian asked, he really didn't know that Lin Jingchang had a favorite place to go in the county.

"You'll know if you go and take a look." Zhao Hu pretended to be mysterious, and took Lin Lian, Zhou Pu, and Chen Enze to drill into the depths of a narrow alley around the county office, and through the alley, it turned out to be the water pass of the Shiliang River into the city, and the tea hotel was on the east bank of the Shuiguan River.

It is the most common wine and rice shop, I can't see anything special, tie the donkey cart to the bolted horse pillar in front of the tea hotel, take the bag in my hand, and see two men in Tsing Yi standing in front of the tea hotel shop with swords on their waists. The first four porters with flat shoulders went in and out of the wine and rice shop, and they didn't care; When Lin Jian and Zhao Hu approached, they stood in front of the shop: "It's full, please find another restaurant to eat." ”

"Why should others enter, and when we enter, the people will be full?" Zhao Hu blocked the door for no reason, holding his breath in his heart, how could he be bluffed away so easily, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes stared at the two men guarding the door.

Lin Lian's eyes looked through the doorway, the light inside was very dim, and he didn't know what characters came to this ordinary tea hotel, and let two guards guard the door; These two guards stopped them regardless of the entry and exit of others because he had a saber tied around his waist, and a knife waist was placed in the package for Chen Enze to carry on his shoulder, which looked obvious, after all, Zhou Pu was not a follower, as a civilian, it was forbidden to carry a blade with him, and he still had to be careful in Shiliang County.

When the two men in Tsing Yi heard that the few people in front of them refused to leave, their faces changed slightly, they became vigilant, and they put their hands on their sabers and were about to drive people away.

These two guards are not like the officials in the yamen, the official dialect has some foreign accents, Lin Jian thought that when he handed over a post in the county government just now to ask to see Liang Zuoren, the doorman said that Liang Zuoren had a banquet at lunch, could it be that Liang Zuoren rushed here to entertain his distinguished guests before them? I really don't know what's so special about this tea hotel, Lin Jingchang and Zhao Hu both like it here, and even Liang Zuoren, the parent official of Shiliang County, also likes it here.

Lin Jian is not the master who didn't dare to cause trouble before, not to mention that he is still in charge, looking at the two guards blocking the door with a tough attitude and refusing to tolerate, pressing the handle of the knife with his hand and putting on a threatening posture, thinking that it would be better to provoke Liang Zuoren inside, and said sharply: "You are not the master here, what is the reason for blocking the guests from entering?" You press the knife, and you still want to pull the knife and threaten to drive us away? Even Lord Liang Zuoren of this county is inside, and he doesn't dare to condone the house slaves like this, who are you? ”

Lin Lian's call was awe-inspiring; The two people in front of the door couldn't answer, only when Lin Jian was a great person in the place, after all, they really wanted to cause a dispute, the other party was both a local snake and a large number of people, not to mention, they blocked the door first and seemed to be at a loss, hesitating whether to let them in.

Zhao Hu looked at Lin Tie and felt strange, every time in the past, he and Lin Jingchang were the masters of mischief, when had he ever seen Lin Tie so strong in front of others, and the other party was still two majestic men with swords at their waists? Zhao Hu didn't care too much, Lin Lian's attitude became strong, and he was not afraid of causing trouble on the ground in Shiliang County, so he shouted into the shop: "Xiao family lady, come out quickly, why are there two more guard dogs in front of your shop?" ”

The older Tsing Yi guard was still heavier, but the other couldn't stand being scolded as a dog, and he was about to pull the knife, Zhou Pu stepped over, put his hand on his wrist and made him unable to lift it, and shouted in a deep voice: "In broad daylight, who dares to pull the knife?" Lin Jian also pressed one hand on the saber, his eyes were fixed on the older man, and he asked in a deep voice again: "Who are you waiting for, who dares to be presumptuous on the ground in Shiliang County?" "It's like I'm the head snake of Shiliang County.

The young guard pressed Zhou Pu's wrist, and he couldn't pull out the knife even if he tried to feed, raised his foot and kicked at Zhou Pu, and raised his knee to hit Zhou Pu's knee, if it wasn't for Zhou Pu's wrist, he almost couldn't stand, he was ashamed and painful, and his face was flushed.

The older guard had more experience, and at this time, how dare he make a big deal about it, let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife, took half a step back, and said: "If you want to stop a few, Lord Liang Zuoren will eat in the room......"

"When I just handed over the door post to the county government, Lord Liang Zuoren was still feasting in the back house...... Allow you to talk nonsense here! Lin Jian scolded aggressively, "Even if Liang Zhixian is guarding the door, there is no reason to stop us from going in to eat." ”

"What's the matter?" At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a long shirt walked out, although he was wearing a long shirt, but looking at his eyes and revealing muscles and bones, he was also a practitioner, he should be a personal guard, and he was the leader of the three. Behind the middle-aged man, a handsome young woman poked her head out to look over, saw Zhao Hu, and said: "Ah, it turned out to be the Zhao family brothers...... busy explaining Zhao Hu's identity to the middle-aged man, "Official, the Zhao family brothers are the leaders of Zhao in Shanglindu Township Camp, and they are also frequent customers of the shop, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding." She obviously didn't know that Zhao Hu had been kicked out of the Shanglindu Township camp for half a month.

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Lian, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu and others a few times, thinking that the person who came turned out to be the leader of the Shanglindu Township Camp, no wonder the arrogance was so arrogant, Liang Zuoren just complained to the adults that the Lin family's tail was too big and controlled the place, and now it is believing, I don't know if the Lin family knew that the adult was in Shiliang County, and deliberately sent someone over to test it. Anyway, they blocked the door unreasonably, and the few people in front of them were local snakes, and the middle-aged man scolded the two Tsing Yi guards in a deep voice and said: "Let you watch at the door, and I didn't ask you to drive people away...... Forget it, let me in. This sentence can be regarded as giving Lin Lian, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu and others a step down.

The middle-aged man and the two Tsing Yi guards entered the store, and the dispute was temporarily suspended; Seeing that Liang Zuoren couldn't be provoked, Lin Jian felt a little regretful in his heart, and they also followed the handsome young woman into the store. This young woman wore a blue calico fabric, an apron tied around her waist, slightly closed, her body was well-proportioned, about twenty-one or twelve years old, her white and delicate face was very charming, the black crow-like black silk was curled into a bun, and a plum blossom silver hairpin was inserted, standing in the greasy tea hotel doorway, standing Tingting, I didn't think there were many fireworks on this woman.

Lin Lianxin knew that this was the "Xiao family lady" in Zhao Hu's mouth, such a tea hotel that looked very ordinary outside the store, the biggest special thing was probably the Xiao family lady, and the coarse cloth clothes could not hide her charming appearance, no wonder Lin Jingchang would stay here, and no wonder the county magistrate also chose to feast here. Seeing that Zhao Hu also comes over often, throughout the ages, it is not a common sense that men are beautiful and beautiful to hide.
