The night was dark and the wind was high, in an unfamiliar place, the driver was blocked outside the gate, and the boy who led the way was nowhere to be seen. All the elements were completely in line with the fairy dance process that Wan Laifu knew.Now looking at the pair of twins in front of him, he felt more and more suspicious and creepy, how could he take another half step inside?In case a disheveled woman ran out from inside, he wouldn't even be able to find a witness! !Isn't it the place to be slaughtered? !

While resisting the double pull, Wan Laifu reasoned dawdly, saying: "What are you in a hurry for, don't push me, let me have a look at the scenery——"

Xiaotao Xiaoxiu didn't care about 21, she just wanted to send the person to the end of the job, the three of them were arguing endlessly, a figure flashed in the main room with the lights on, and the door was pushed open from the inside.

"Brother Wan."

The figure standing against the light was very familiar in shape and voice, and was still wearing the light-colored large-sleeved shirt that we met in the afternoon.This person is not tall, but his proportions are good. Even a loose robe with long sleeves can look elegant and carefree.At the same time, shopkeeper Wan, whose heart was hanging in his throat, suddenly relaxed.

...It's not a fairy dance, that's great, it's not a fairy dance.

Even though it was backlit, Wan Laifu could vaguely recognize the smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and inexplicably gained some confidence, he shook off the restraint of the twins who had been unable to shake off just now, walked quickly, and said, "Xie Xian, brother, Your place is partial and dark, but it scares me quite a bit, bro!"

"Is there?" Xie Qian thought about it, it seemed that there was some misunderstood meaning, and couldn't help laughing, "It's true that my little brother didn't think carefully. Hey, things happened suddenly today, and I should have been carefree I was waiting for Brother Wan, and came here to resolve the small dispute over the marriage of two big families, so it was a little late. Come on, the outside is not a place to talk, please come inside, I will make some good tea for brother myself to make up for it! "

"..." It's not enough to enter the room, the friendship between merchants is really so deep!What's more, even if he escaped the immortal jump, Mr. Xie is still a "businessman" in the "collusion between officials and businessmen", and the other person in the room must be the other party of the collusion.

Wan Laifu struggled and hesitated, and was struggling to give up this long-time partner, and said, "Well, the night outside is pretty good, let's talk about the moon, and I will leave after the talk. Like... like me, just a mere A vulgar small businessman, how can He Dehe be able to enter the elegant hall of the county magistrate, tea or something... there is no need..."

Xiaotao pushed the fat man for a long time, and she was almost exhausted. Hearing him push again and again, she sneered, and said, "Anyone who is not in the hall dares to call the county magistrate 'good brother', now I reflect on whether I am qualified or not." , What did you do?! It’s not like you haven’t seen the people in the teahouse before, hurry up and let me in!!”

"Brother"?The county sheriff?Mr. Xie? !this? ? ?

Xiao Tao's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, splitting shopkeeper Wan into crispy skin on the spot.

This is more than collusion between officials and businessmen, it is simply officials doing business by themselves! !He thought that if he refused to enter the house to meet him, he would be able to escape the serious crimes involved, but he didn't know that no matter whether he entered the house or not, the words "collusion between government and businessmen" had already been printed on him! ! !

The official is Mr. Xie!

The "businessman" who colluded with him was himself! ! !

Shopkeeper Wan's legs went limp, just as Xiaoxiu gave him a shove from behind, he stepped forward a few steps, and almost fell down on the spot in front of the threshold.

Xie Qian hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "You are not a citizen of Millet, so you don't need to perform this great ceremony. Come, please come in and sit down."

No, he didn't want to salute, his only thought now was to run away! !

Now that the person has entered the house, there are two door gods blocking the door behind Xiaotao and Xiaoshou, so there is no need to run away.Fortunately, the house is clean and there is no trace of women's makeup, and it does not seem to have any traces of women's residence at all-to be more precise, there are not even many traces of people's residence.Wan Laifu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes in fear, and glanced at it. On the upper seat of the host, usually the seat of the head of the family, there was a tall and straight man sitting upright.

This person was dressed in a military uniform, and the arm armor and shoulder armor that had been removed were placed on the shelf beside him, and there was a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Wan Laifu, who had calmed down just now, didn't come up immediately, and almost passed over on the spot.

Mr. Xie... Oh no, it’s all right for Xie Junshou to kill himself, and it’s all right to drag him onto the pirate ship. Why is there a general hiding in the house? !

This, this is not only the collusion between the government and the businessman, but also the collusion between the civil and military forces, forcibly doubling the felony of beheading into an unforgivable crime of punishing the nine clans! !

However, the tragedy is that none of the people present felt the same way as him. The military commander even picked up the tea bowl leisurely, blew away the foam on the surface, took a sip, and said, "Good tea."

In an instant, Wan Laifu's heart was ashamed, desperate to die, and said: "Young master... oh no, Mr. Sheriff, do you have anyone else that I need to see... Why don't you just cut off my head Okay? Don't implicate my family..." He said sadly, his eyes were shallow, and he burst into tears in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Tao Xiaoxiu: "?"

This person cries whenever he says he wants. Could he be a little bit of that serious illness?

Even if his thoughts were as erratic as Xie Qian, he didn't turn this corner for a while, and said in doubt: "...Gu still wants to do business with Brother Wan, how can I cut off your head for nothing?"

Wan Laifu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, wiped his tears and said: "The grass people are stupid, and they are not worthy of the favor of the county guard. Today, the grass people have neither seen the county guard, nor any military officers or generals, and it is impossible for them to have any relationship with the old man." Any business dealings. There are sixty-year-old mothers in the Caomin, and there are little girls who don't know anything about it. The whole family doesn't expect to be rich and powerful, but they all live on that small business. Please hold your hand high and let the Caomin go. Let go of the young and old in Caomin's house, woo woo woo woo..."

After these words, Xie Qian finally connected the three key words "death", "family" and "sheriff", and finally deduced the root cause of Wan Laifu's misunderstanding.

He was angry and funny, and at the same time, he was also very pleased with Shopkeeper Wan's discipline (courage) and law-abiding (smallness), stepped forward to help him up, and said: "Brother Wan, don't be nervous. Nothing you worry about will happen. I can assure you that all the business in Mi County is legal, and there is no violation of the laws of Da Viet. General He's appearance here is also the emperor's brother's decree and personal approval."

Shopkeeper Wan replied "... yes, yes", but his face was full of "if you don't believe me, why don't you just kill me".

Xie Qian hinted that it would fail once, so he had to continue to hint, saying: "Although Gu is not a county guard, he can exercise greater power than the county guard. General He is responsible for monitoring Gu. Not only will he be present, he will not ask you to violate it." Da Yue's law, on the contrary, has an extra layer of protection. If you explain it like this, maybe you understand it?"

...not the sheriff, but has more power than the sheriff.What kind of officer could that be?Big enough to take care of both taxes and own shops?Wouldn't that be the same as treating Mi County as his own private land... huh?

What did Xie Junshou call himself... lonely?

Wan Laifu raised his head slowly in disbelief, only to see the gentle young man sighed in a low-key and humble way, and said, "There is no way, after all...my surname is Xie."

……Thanks.

The national surname of Dai Viet.

The patriarch who opened the pilgrimage pardoned the world and issued an amnesty order, because the Xie clan is all over the world, and there are many side branches.The original surname does not need to be outlined or taboo, and can continue to be used.

Therefore, Wan Laifu thought of everything, but he didn't realize that this "Mr. Xie" who dared to intervene in everything and lived in the prefect's mansion openly, was surnamed Xie.

Even if he could contact "Xie" as the surname of the country, he would not dare to contact the "Xie" in Chang'an Jingli and the palace.

He twisted his thigh several times, then pulled the sleeves closer, and said, "Dare to ask... your master, could it be, could it be that... your majesty's..."

Xiaoxiu: "The king of the county is the seventeenth younger brother of the emperor, with the title of An, and the domain is here."

Wan Laifu: "Oh... oh."

That's why there is a military general, and the vassal king always sends a military general who the emperor trusts to sit and monitor.

no? !

No matter what kind of general or county king, he is not in the control of a shopkeeper!

Wan Laifu knelt down again, kowtowed and said: "The grass people don't know Mount Tai with their dog's eyes, it's the grass people who offended, please forgive the grass people's disrespect!!!"

Why did he kneel down again? Xie Qian had been out of Beijing for a long time, and finally experienced the red tape again. He quickly waved his hands and asked Xiaotao Xiaoxiulian to help him, and placed the shopkeeper Wan on the guest seat.And he came over in person, poured a cup of tea for shopkeeper Wan, and said: "Gu just said, what is wrong with Brother Wan? You didn't know Gu's true identity before, and Gu is willing to make friends with you, so don't care about those vain gifts. Best as ever."

Wan Laifu was not willing to accept it, and tried to struggle to get up several times, but was pressed by Xiaotao's little sleeves and couldn't stand up at all.He Feiyun, who had been sitting silently for a long time, opened his mouth and said, "If he dares, it would be better if someone else did. A good business that makes money, won't it attract boldness?"

Xie Qian went back with the teapot, poured some tea for He Feiyun, sat under him, and said, "Well, we are acquaintances after all, and if we find someone who doesn't know the background, we will have to test it again."

Wan Laifu's mind was buzzing, there was too much information.He never thought in his life that one day, he would be able to make friends with the prince of the clan, let alone become a guest of the clan.But his mind was in a mess, but when he heard the word "making money", his business nerves had already turned quickly, and he subconsciously asked, "What good business?"

Xie Qian laughed meaningfully, and said, "Brother Wan, isn't he afraid? Then you have to think carefully about this lone thief ship before boarding."

Wan Laifu: "..."
