At the gate of Pingli County, Mu Xiaojiu stood in front of several guards with a smile.

If someone else asks this kind of question, the guards are afraid that they will not even pay attention to it, and even if they do, they will not answer the question, but will only say "go into the city and ask yourself".

But with the deterrence of the sword in front of him, how could a few soldiers dare to say that? At this time, Mu Xiaojiu asked, and the guards immediately pointed out the road to him: "If you are the county magistrate, you enter the city, walk along the main road all the way inside, pass four intersections and then turn to the right hand, and you can see it after three intersections." As for the restaurant, there is a restaurant called 'Shunxinju' on a street west of the county government, which is the largest restaurant in our Pingli County, you can go and sit down. ”

Mu Xiaojiu arched his hand at the guards and thanked him, and then took out a small piece of loose silver from the money bag tied to the water and fire and handed it over.

"This ...... We don't dare ask for that. Although the guard who answered was moved, he said with a wry smile: "Our county lord has an order that he is not allowed to accept bribes privately. ”

Of course, what the guard said was only one reason, and on the other hand, even without this order, under the deterrence of Mu Xuan's sword, he did not dare to accept the money.

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head with a smile, and took out the waist card of the imperial envoy from his waist, "Take it, this is not a bribe, just a little bit of my heart." If you ask, you will say that it is the money given to you by the imperial envoy Mu. After you change shifts, you can take the money and go eat something and drink two glasses of water and wine. ”

As soon as the guard saw the waist card, although he didn't know what position the "envoy" in Mu Xiaojiu's mouth was, but he couldn't fake it when he looked at the brand, especially since there was the seal of the dynasty on it, who would dare to forge this thing? Therefore, he turned over and was about to bow down, but was pulled by Mu Xiaojiu.

"No, don't be so polite. Take the money, we're in town. ”

"Wait, sir!" The guard looked at Mu Xiaojiu, who turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly gritted his teeth, stopped Mu Xiaojiu, and then lowered his voice beside Mu Xiaojiu, and said softly: "My lord, I shouldn't have talked too much about this, but since you are the minister of the court and understand us guards, then I will tell you about it." I don't know if your group is passing by or ......"

Mu Xiaojiu frowned slightly, and had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it, but just replied: "We are indeed passing through this Pingli County, but after a while, we will go to Ankang City in front." ”

The guard nodded slightly, "Then you need to be careful, my lord. Although it is said that the old man next to you has very high martial arts, but during this time, there is a group of people who don't know where to come from in Ankang, I heard that there are five of them, and they have come and gone without a trace, and their martial arts are not bad. Moreover, these people specifically pick people with martial arts to start, and they absolutely do not leave a living mouth every time they go out. ”

Mu Xiaojiu was shocked in his heart, he probably understood what the trouble in Lu Xiaofeng's mouth was. Presumably Lu Xiaofeng also heard about it, so he searched for the traces of those five people here, but in the end he was entangled by these five people.

This thought passed through Mu Xiaojiu's heart, and then he nodded lightly, and said to the guards with a little gratitude: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

The guard hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Excellency is too polite, since you already know about this, then I won't delay your time, you can enter the city quickly, just be careful." ”

Mu Xiaojiu responded, and then glanced at Hu Xiaoxian, Mu Duan, and Li Xiaobai.

The three of them understood, and followed Mu Xiaojiu into Pingli County without saying a word. It wasn't until he went in for a while that Hu Xiaoxian asked on the side, "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?" Look at the solemnity on your face. ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked around and waved his hand slightly, "I'll go to the restaurant later, I found out a little bit of news, it should be related to the 'four' side." There are many people here, so it is not appropriate to talk about it. ”

After speaking, Mu Xiaojiu continued to walk forward.

According to the guidance of the guards, Mu Xiaojiu and the four of them quickly found the government office of Pingli County, and then according to the direction of the government office, they found the restaurant called "Shunxinju" in the west of the government office.

Speaking of which, this restaurant is indeed very large, at least in the county town of Pingli. The whole Shunxinju occupies the position of nearly two shops, with three floors high, and even the façade is quite luxuriously decorated. Although it is a bit revealing the atmosphere of "local bun nouveau riche", I have to admit that this restaurant costs a lot of money for this decoration alone.

The four of them handed over the horses to Xiao Er, who was in charge of the horse stall, and then went directly into the restaurant. As soon as I entered, I saw a little second spring breeze coming up. This little second also has eyesight, and at a glance, he found that Mu Xiaojiu was faintly headed by the four, so he ran directly to Mu Xiaojiu's side, bowed slightly at Mu Xiaojiu, stretched out his hand, and said to the side of his body: "Come, the four guest officers are invited, I don't know if the guest officers are eating, drinking or staying in the hotel?" Or are the guests going to eat first, then drink, and finally stay in the hotel? The small one recommends the latter one to you, because our Shunxin residence is not only delicious food, pleasant wine, and the room where you live is also very comfortable, which is a must. ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at the little second child with a little surprise, and then looked at Li Xiaobai with a slight comparison, and shook his head gently. Li Xiaobai couldn't help but blush, and muttered, "This...... Zi said: There must be my teacher in the threesome, and you can't forget to learn wherever you go. ”

Xiao Er looked at Mu Xiaojiu with hope, but saw that Mu Xiaojiu still waved his hand, "Little Second Brother, you have said so much hard, but we still have some things to do, so we can't stay here." ”

There was a look of disappointment in the eyes of the little er, but he quickly covered it up. Then I saw him smile again and said, "No problem, so the four guest officers want to eat." Come on, come on, come with me, let's please. ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled, "However, we need to discuss some things, we have to find a quiet place, bother the little second brother, I don't know if you have a wing room in your house?" ”

Xiao Er was immediately overjoyed, the guests who could enter the room to eat were not small households, and they would not be shabby, it seemed that he still had to earn this meal today.

"Yes, yes, come with me, there are three wings on the second floor, and there is only one room today, so you came just in time." Otherwise, after a while, I am afraid that there will be no empty rooms. ”

Saying that, Xiao Er walked to the back very smartly, first took the two packages carried by the four people from Mu Xuan's hands, and then carried them on his shoulder, "Come on, come on, this old gentleman, I'll help you carry the package, you just follow me." ”
