Chapter 136 Visiting Relatives
A middle-aged man wearing bright red armor and with a precious sword hanging from his waist stood opposite Mr. Han, taking two steps at a time.
And he snatched the bamboo tube from the gentleman's hand like lightning and poured it into his mouth. Dun, tunk, tunk, it tastes so good!
In just a moment, the man finished making a pound of wine, and Mr. Chao Han's guard, who was still not satisfied, asked for another barrel.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Han waved to the guard to quickly move away. The guard reacted quickly, directly pressed the railing, and jumped from the second floor to the first floor.
This man actually raised his hand and said to his men, "Drop your swords and bring the wine back to this Tongzhi."
Mr. Han took back the empty barrel and could no longer pour out any wine. Not willing to be outdone, he said to the other guards behind him, "Go and protect my wine."
Then, people on both sides showed their skills, jumping from the second floor to the first floor, and in a moment one side rushed out of the door to stop the other side, and started fighting in the lobby.
Ping pong, hehe, haha, it's so lively.
Shen Lingzhu and his sister were stunned. The shopkeeper was about to cry and leaned over the railing: "Don't smash it, don't smash it. Ouch, my bench..."
Many guests who were woken up came out to check and found that people were fighting. They stopped running and didn't want to go back to sleep. They were all very excited.
And when the two sides were fighting fiercely for the goal, loud cheers broke out.
At this moment, these people did not know that the two fighting parties, who were all dressed in black, were the government troops whom they usually avoided as much as possible.
The guests upstairs who opened the door and stood in the corridor, when they saw the two officials leaning on the railing, most of them quietly retreated to their rooms.
Shen Lingzhu certainly wouldn't retreat. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to scan the fighting below. Not seeing her family among the onlookers on both sides, she quietly tugged at her eldest brother's sleeve: "Where are my uncles?"
"Go feed the animals and check the goods. Second Grandpa fell asleep after drinking alone." Shen Xianzhu wanted to let her go back to the room, but Mr. Han didn't leave.
He was leaning against the railing, twirling his beard and laughing heartily. The officer next to him, with his eyes wide open, shouted downstairs: "If you can't even get out of the door, don't even think about being my soldier. Formation, formation, don't you know how to use it?"
His roar was powerful and penetrating. The men on the first floor stopped fighting alone and retreated to the middle of the lobby when one of them blew a sharp whistle.
The spectators downstairs then noticed the two men in official uniforms upstairs. They all retreated back and forth tacitly, and in an instant they fled like birds and beasts.
Shen Lingzhu upstairs took a few steps forward. She was quite interested in the legendary ancient formation and wanted to see it clearly.
But just as she approached the railing, several people who formed a cone-shaped formation below instantly pushed away Mr. Han's guards who were blocking the gate and rushed out of the gate in a blink of an eye.
Shen Lingzhu couldn't help but ask, "So fast?"
"Of course, my soldiers have all been to the battlefield and fought face to face with the Tartars in life and death situations." The Tongzhi said with some pride.
At this moment, Mr. Han's smile faded and he glanced at him sideways: "So after the formation was set up, everyone drew their hidden weapons and pointed the tips of their blades at their own people?"
"No matter whether the tip of the knife is inside or outside, anyone who stops me must be prepared to pay the price." The Tongzhi said it very powerfully, and said that after he snatched the wine, he would give half a barrel to Mr. Han.
"You want to take my things and give them to me? Only you, Zhang Tongzhi, can say that." Mr. Han shook his head and looked at Shen Lingzhu and his sister and asked:
"Are you two here to visit relatives, or to earn money for the family?" He remembered that last time at Laojun Temple, the Shen brothers and sisters brought people and several large carts of goods.
"Visiting relatives." Shen Xianzhu only chose this answer, but Shen Lingzhu did not choose between the two options and said, "My seventh uncle is in charge of the business, but his business was so good that he fell into a trap set by others and is currently imprisoned in the Pingding County Government Office."
"What? What kind of business do you run that could attract others to set you up?" Zhang Tongzhi asked before Mr. Han.
Shen Lingzhu was silently reminded by his elder brother and instructed by Zhang Tongzhi: "Since it is an injustice, find Han to observe.
He has the responsibility to supervise the prisons and redress injustices."
"Sir, will you accept it?" Shen Lingzhu's eyes lit up, and Shen Xianzhu beside her also looked at Mr. Han with hope in his eyes.
"I am in charge of the supervision of the garrison this time. You still have to go to the local county government for local affairs." Mr. Han could not cross the line.
Shen Lingzhu asked, "What if the person who set the trap is a local military household?"
"Really?" Mr. Han and Zhang Tongzhi asked in unison.
Shen Xianzhu quickly spoke before his sister could, "We don't know yet. We need to go to Pingding County to investigate further."
"Oh, I thought it was a military household, which would allow me, the person in charge of the Qing Army Department, to do something righteous and kill my relatives for the sake of justice." Zhang Tongzhi looked regretful.
He then said to Mr. Han, "Our guards fully cooperated in this campaign to eliminate the stronghold, and the soldiers all bravely advanced. Well done.
If the offense they committed is minor, we can leave it to our Qingjun Office to clean up the mess, okay?"
"Let's discuss it later." Public is public and private is private. Mr. Han did not agree immediately, but also gave Shen Lingzhu a wink, asking her to talk more with Zhang Tongzhi.
Shen Lingzhu clasped his fists and said, "If they are really military households, can we go visit you two?"
Zhang Tongzhi laughed: "Oh, little girl, do you know how busy I am?"
Shen Lingzhu didn't know, but she knew that the other party liked wine, so she said, "Can't we just take the wine?"
"She has wine?" Zhang Tongzhi was a little skeptical.
Mr. Han just nodded in confirmation, "Just now you shouted..."
Zhang Tongzhi asked Shen Lingzhu to take it out immediately and said, "If it is a military household," he turned around and took a knife from the only two men behind him, "Take it. If it is this, go to Bingzhou Commandery to find this Tongzhi."
Shen Lingzhu was overjoyed. When she raised her hands to take it, the other party retreated a little and asked her to sell him 50 kilograms of wine.
"But we only brought more than 20 kilograms in total." Oh, Shen Lingzhu knew that Captain Chen and the Tongzhi in front of him both liked to ask for exorbitant prices.
"Little girl, your general is the commander of our Bingzhou Prefecture. It's your good fortune that he likes your wine." The shopkeeper next to him, who no longer had to worry about his own tables, chairs and benches, reminded her.
Shen Lingzhu looked at Mr. Han again, and when he smiled and nodded slightly, Zhang Tongzhi was unwilling, "Han Guancha, is this your nephew?
Are you helping them sell alcohol? "Is he not going to be fooled by this cunning person?
Mr. Han told the truth: "We've only met three times.
The elders of these two children were dismissed for exposing a certain prince who had overreached.
"Oh, you're brave." Zhang Tongzhi waved his hand and said, "I want all your wine. I'll pay you for it."
Shen Xianzhu was reluctant to give all the wine he had used to gain connections to the commander in charge, "Master, please allow me to keep ten kilograms."
Zhang Tongzhi looked him over and said, "The number of pounds the girl next to you said is not a real number at all."
Shen Xianzhu couldn't help but feel shocked. He had exposed his sister's promise. "Third sister."
Shen Lingzhu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Please forgive me, my comrade, as the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as an official. I always have something to show for it."
