April 10th

In the early morning, as the sun just rose, Leng Yu and Luo Lan dressed in ordinary people's clothes and went out with Ayu, Ahou, Acai and Ahong.

Considering that this trip would take a long time, they did not ask anyone who was already married to accompany them. However, he had made arrangements. Once the incident in Yilan County was found out, Xiao Ningzi and others would immediately bring people to reinforce them. This time He vowed to eradicate the borers hiding in Yilan County one by one.

Sitting in the carriage, Luo Lan couldn't help but mutter,

"When An An and Lele heard that we were going out, they wanted to follow us, but I refused. Our trip is far away and the time is unknown. If they go, it will definitely affect their homework. If they get too playful, we have to take care of them. "

"What I'm saying is that although we are going to Yilan County with a purpose this time, I also want to accompany you to visit the great mountains and rivers of Daning Country."

"Then...we'll be out for a long time, won't there be any problems with the court?"

Leng Yu pursed his lips and smiled softly,

"I have made arrangements. Your father is here in the capital, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan are here, Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Tanzi are here, and Leng Ming is here. Who dares to act rashly? At present, no one in Daning Kingdom dares to spy on me. Don’t worry about this throne, nothing will go wrong.”

After he said this, Luo Lan felt relieved a little.

The capital was far away from Yilan County. They traveled by carriage, traveling day and night, and it took about half a month to get there.

If this were not the case, Yilan County Magistrate would not dare to act so recklessly!

end of April

After nearly twenty days of journey, Leng Yu and his group of six finally arrived in Yilan County.

Although this is just a county town, it looks quite wealthy and prosperous.

It was noon, and the county town was extremely busy.

Leng Yu opened the sedan curtain and ordered Ayu who was driving the carriage,

"Let's find an inn to stay first!"

Luo Lan quickly interrupted him,

"Ms. sir, this is just a county town. If you stay in an inn and encounter officials who come to check the ward, we outsiders will be a bit conspicuous. Anyway, we can't find out the matter in three or two days. Why don't we just do business? Rent a house here in your name, so that you won’t arouse suspicion, and it will also make it easier for us to investigate the matter slowly. "

Leng Yu pondered for a while and nodded.

"Okay, then, madam, let's have dinner first, and then we'll look for any suitable houses for rent in this city after dinner."

After saying this, he raised the sedan curtain door and ordered Ayu:

"Find a clean restaurant and let's eat first."

"Yes, sir."

This was what Leng Yu had told him in advance. In order to prevent them from telling the truth in front of outsiders, everyone along the way, regardless of who was in front or behind, would call him Master and Mrs. Luolan.

Although this title is a bit old-fashioned, it is also consistent with their status.

A Yu stopped the carriage at the door of a tavern called Kexiangju. A Cai, A Hong and A Hou got off their horses one after another, called the waiter to come out and tie the horses, and stepped forward to help Luo Lan and Leng Yu get out of the car. .

After several people entered the restaurant one after another, the waiter hurriedly greeted them, looked them up and down, and made a gesture of invitation as if to please.

"There is a private room upstairs, please invite me upstairs!"

Leng Yu was about to nod, but Luo Lan waved her hand directly, pointing to a table by the window.

"No need, that table is spacious enough, just sit there!"

Although Leng Yu was a little confused, he still nodded in agreement. Seeing this, the waiter directly asked them to sit there.

After sitting down, Leng Yu asked puzzledly,

"Why don't you find a quiet private room?"

"My husband has forgotten, we are here to experience the fireworks of the human world. If we go straight to private rooms wherever we go, how will we have the chance to hear what the people are talking about?"

Leng Yu thought her words made sense, and then waved to the waiter,

"Feel free to serve a few plates of your restaurant's specialty dishes. Just don't make them too greasy. My wife doesn't like greasy food."

The waiter nodded hurriedly in agreement,

"Just a moment, everyone, the food will be here soon."

After saying that, the waiter ran to the kitchen. Luo Lan observed the restaurant for a week. The business here seemed to be very good. Except for a few large tables that could accommodate many people, all the small tables were full.

Their food was served in a short time. After a long day's journey, they were all a little hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

At this moment, "pop", there was a sound of banging on the table, and Leng Yu and others hurriedly looked for the sound.

I saw two people in official clothes kicking the stool they had just sat on to the ground, and one of them shouted loudly,

"Where are the people? Get out."

The waiter nodded and ran over, hunched over.

"You two officers, what's going on?"

One of the bearded men opened his palms to reveal a cockroach.

"We didn't realize until we finished eating that there were bugs in your dish. You have to pay us money."

The waiter in the shop put on a busy smile and stepped forward to apologize.

"Master, our shop is a small business. Today is the last day of business. Why don't we give you two free orders for this meal?"

"Free of charge? What if we, the brothers, eat your wormy food and get sick to our stomachs? You have to compensate us. We have to go see a doctor. Of course, we can't ask for more, so just give us ten taels. !”

"Ten taels of silver? You two officials, our small shop can only earn 10 taels of silver in a month. You two adults have a lot, so show your respect!"

"Hmph! If you don't give me any money, I will destroy your little shop."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bearded Man picked up the teapot on the table and dropped it to the ground with a 'pop'.

Everyone in the restaurant was looking over there, and some timid guests ran away in despair without eating or paying their bills.

Seeing this scene, Leng Yu was extremely angry.

The bug was obviously in his hand, but he said it was found in someone else's food. These officials were obviously blackmailing people.

He winked at Ayu, who was equally angry and stood up, landing in front of the two officials like a whirlwind.

He raised his hand and held down the hand of the bearded official who was about to lift the table. The other official immediately rolled his eyes at him.

"Where is this thing that doesn't know how to live or die? Let go..."

Ayu glared at them with half-lidded eyes and scolded sharply:

"You wear this human skin but don't do things that humans should do. You are really embarrassing to the government and the court."

"Humph, young man, it seems like you are not a local? Don't you understand the rules of Yilan County?"

"Pooh!"

Ayu immediately sighed,

"I know your shit. I just saw you holding a bug in your hand and deliberately blackmailing someone in broad daylight. You are so brave. Today I will take you to the county government office and talk to your magistrate about this. "

Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out of the back room, took two steps forward and persuaded:

"Sir, please don't worry about this. I'm going to get money for them now."

"Why?"

Ayu turned around and stared at him,

"They obviously want to blackmail people, but you still condone this behavior?"

The shopkeeper suddenly shook his head and sighed, and the bearded official immediately snorted arrogantly,

"Did you see? We are not blackmailing people. He knows he is wrong. Young man, when I meet you, I advise you to stay out of things you shouldn't do in Yilan County. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of here. "

After he said this, the shopkeeper took ten taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the bearded hand, nodded and bowed and complimented:

"I've wronged you two..."

The bearded official took the silver, weighed it in his hand, then glared at Ayu, led another person, and walked away with his head held high.

Ayu wanted to call them two, but was stopped by Leng Yu.

"Ayu, it's better to do less than to do more. Since the store is willing to take money to settle the matter, why do you have to meddle in it?"
