Datang New Giants

Chapter 21 It's a good fall
Lu Ting didn't know when he fell asleep, his mind was full of thinking about how to get close to Wang Gui, gain his trust, and how to hug Li Er's golden thigh through Wang Gui's thigh, so he fell asleep in a daze When I was there, I faintly heard someone knocking loudly on the door.

"Young Master, Young Master, wake up, something has happened." Fuzhi's anxious voice was faintly heard.

Lu Ting reluctantly opened his eyes, looked outside, shook his head, and felt that he was more awake, and asked, "What happened? What happened?"

No wonder my eyelids are so heavy, it's pitch black outside the window, and it's still the middle of the night.

"Little Wu from Ke Lai Ju is here, and he said that something happened to Ke Lai Ju, let the young master deal with it."

"Ah" Lu Ting yawned for a long time, and said casually, "Isn't there still Huang Treasurer?"

While helping Lu Ting change his clothes, Fu Zhi replied, "I don't even know about this little one, but you will find out after you ask Xiao Wu."

Lu Ting puts on his clothes and asks Fu Zhi to bring Xiao Wu in.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you late at night." Xiao Wu, who was holding a lantern in his hand, quickly apologized when he saw Lu Ting who was still angry in bed.

If you don't bother me, I'm bothering you. What's the use of saying this? Lu Ting can't lose his temper with a small handyman, so he asked directly: "Xiao Wu, come here in the middle of the night, what happened?"

I am just a small bookkeeper, what can I do with myself?Mrs. Lin Zheng would never check the accounts in the middle of the night, even if she checked the accounts, she would not be afraid.

Xiao Wu said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu, that criminal old man from Chang'an is really annoying. He fell when he went to the latrine in the middle of the night, and his leg was swollen so big that he almost saw the bone. I don't know if he broke it. You It’s okay to say that he is unlucky, but he insists that the lanterns that illuminate the road at Ke Lai Ju are not lit, and he fell because he couldn’t see the road in the dark. Ke Lai Ju must be responsible, and those two policemen are also arrogant, and they want us to If you come here to pay, otherwise you will go to the yamen to file a complaint, the young one really has no choice but to come to Mr. Lu."

There are two official words, if he opens his mouth to convict, you won't open his mouth to reason. The most feared thing in business is that if the official is wrong, Xiao Wu is on duty tonight. When this happens, the shopkeeper Huang is not here, so I can only ask Lu Ting to deal with it.

What, fell?Wang Gui hurt his leg?
For some reason, when he heard that the injured person was Wang Gui, Lu Ting was a little bit secretly pleased. He thought that the "thigh" that was sent to him would just watch it go. Unexpectedly, he fell and got hurt. It doesn't matter if it hurts. As long as you stay in Kelaiju, you still have a chance.

Thinking about it, Lu Ting was not idle, and asked strangely: "Isn't there still the shopkeeper Huang, he is the old Xingzun, and he has experience in dealing with these things, why did he find me?"

In Kelaiju, shopkeeper Huang is the number one leader, and he has the final say on everything. My position as a bookkeeper is a bit embarrassing. I am not a handyman or a management team. You should find yourself.

Xiao Wu explained: "Mr. Lu didn't know something. Something happened to Xiaoyaoju in Hangzhou. The owner asked shopkeeper Huang to take care of it. Shopkeeper Huang left overnight. Before leaving, he left a message. When the shopkeeper is away, he will hand over Mr. Lu took care of it, and the boss also nodded his head on this matter, so it can only disturb Mr. Lu's dream, the carriage is already prepared outside the door, Mr. Lu should start early."

Having said all this, Lu Ting couldn't say anything more, and didn't care about washing up, so he ordered Fu Zhi to look after the house, and he and Xiao Wu got into the carriage.

"The sinful old man said that the lantern was off, so he didn't see the way clearly. Who is on duty tonight? Did you check the lantern afterwards?" On the carriage, Lu Ting asked calmly.

Xiao Wu's complexion changed, and he said nervously, "Yes, it's a small superior. It was checked half an hour ago, and there is no problem. When the old man called for help, the young one arrived first, and the lantern was indeed off."

"The old criminal went to the latrine, but the policemen didn't follow? By the way, isn't there a toilet in the room?"

"I heard that the head catcher didn't let him use the toilet. He said it was smelly and he couldn't sleep well. That catcher Lu quickly escorted him to the backyard and stopped. He stared at him from afar. I think he smelled like alcohol, so I guess he couldn't keep up with him." Can't see clearly."

Lu Ting thought for a while, then continued to ask: "Did the posthouse inform you? What's their opinion?"

The guest was introduced by the post house, and he can be regarded as a person performing official duties. When this happened, I don't know how the post house reacted.

"What's your opinion?" Xiao Wu said indignantly, "They don't even open the door, saying that people come and go as guests, and it has nothing to do with the post house. Let us handle it ourselves, obviously because we don't want to get into trouble."

"Xiao Wu, how do you usually solve this kind of thing?"

"Look at the origin of the unlucky person. If he can hold back, then he considers himself unlucky. If he has a background, he will have to spend some money." At this point, Xiao Wu straightened his back and said with a firm face : "The owner is from the Zheng family in Xingyang. The late Lin Sicang is very popular in Suzhou, and he is also a distant relative of Du Cishi in Suzhou. Who would dare to extort visitors to live in this three-acre land in Suzhou."

The owner has a strong background, and the waist of being a servant is also tough. You must know that there are so many inns in Suzhou, and only Ke Laiju has cooperation with the inn, relying on relationships and contacts.

Lu Ting nodded, he had a general understanding of the matter, and he knew it well.

The carriage was fast, and it was already the guest's residence during the conversation. Lu Ting jumped out of the carriage without waiting for Awang to move to Maza, and went to see Wang Gui's injury immediately.

Wang Gui injured his leg and was carried to an unoccupied empty room. When Lu Ting saw him, he was lying on the couch with a pale face, one injured leg was wrapped in a white cloth, and blood was still oozing out. It looked a bit scary, but no one paid any attention to him. Shui Sheng, Er Wang and the two police officers were fighting with each other, mainly because of the issue of who should bear the responsibility.

If you are injured, you have to see a doctor, and you have to spend money to see a doctor, especially in the middle of the night. It just froze.

"Mr. Lu is here." Er Wang saw Lu Ting, like a wronged child seeing an adult, and quickly said: "My lord, the old man fell by himself, and they insisted that we come here to take responsibility."

Lu Xiaoding was just a small catcher who couldn't speak, and besides, he ate a lot of Lu Ting's food. When he saw Lu Ting, he just smiled awkwardly and didn't speak. Zhang Changming, the head catcher at the side, said firmly: "You, Lu, keep the account. Come at the right time, you come to judge, people are living in your guest, should you be responsible for the guest."

Before Lu Ting opened his mouth, Shuisheng sarcastically said: "It's funny, if you live in Kelaiju and fall down, you will be responsible for it. If a guest lives in Kelai for a night and can't find a daughter-in-law, do you want to come here too?" Begging for one for him? Even if you arrest the head, you have to be reasonable."

"Bold" Zhang Changming heard that Fang's face changed suddenly, he pulled out the horizontal knife with a swipe, and said with a gloomy expression: "You farm slave dare to mock our shop, believe it or not, you will be rewarded with a knife."

"Hey, Zhang Butou is so majestic, he just pulls the knife when he says a few words. If he becomes the captain and general, he can kill whoever he wants." Shui Sheng stretched his neck a little arrogantly: "I don't even ask about customers Where is Laiju, our boss is someone who can talk to Suzhou Governor Du, come on, the little one will let you chop."

I have never seen anyone who is in the business of an inn, and I have seen even more brutal and arrogant ones. Shuisheng has long been able to master the ability to hob meat, and the owner is the biggest backer. When Lu Ting came, he also had the backbone. If he wants to do something wrong, he will do it right away. Who is afraid of whom?

It's just that the status is too low to dare to leave his mind without authorization, otherwise he would have been tough, and when Lu Ting came, the person in charge would have someone to cover the whole matter if anything happened, just to show it before Lu's accounting.

The flesh on Zhang Changming's face trembled, he snorted coldly, said "I don't have the same knowledge as you, a peasant slave", and put away the knife.

When you meet ordinary people, you can still have a bit of prestige, but when you meet these people with backgrounds, you should get your tail back.

Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaoding saluted Lu Ting flatteringly, pulled him two steps aside, and said in a low voice, "Young master Lu, no one would have thought about what happened. No, you can't hurt your peace because of a sinful old man."

"Hurry up Lu, according to the regulations, what should be done if the prisoner is injured on the way?" Lu Ting said calmly.

Judging from the attitudes of Zhang Changming and Lu Xiaoding, it is obvious that these two people are intimidated, and they must be saved, but they are not in a hurry to express their opinions, and listen to what they want to do.
