After a stick of incense,
Liu Sanniang left the inn with rosy cheeks.
After she walked out for more than ten feet, she turned around and looked back in the direction of the inn.
"This young man from the capital is really a good man! Those children in the Abandoned Children's Hall are finally saved this time."
…
Xiong County, outside the city,
Shu Xiaoxiao led a team of Xichang spies and personally went to the hiding place of Tu Shanjiu and others.
In fact, since he followed Yang Dong to Xiong County, he began to pay close attention to the surrounding situation, and even called in many spies who were not originally from Xiong County.
It can be said that there are at least hundreds of Xichang spies gathered around Xiong County now. And they are all elite...
Because of this, every move made by County Magistrate Chen can be said to be under the noses of Yang Dong and Shu Shu. As for his whereabouts, Shu Mouse already knew it.
"Move quickly in a moment. It seems that Mr. Yang is very disappointed with the bandits this time. You don't have to show mercy. If you encounter anyone who dares to resist, just kill them directly."
Shu Shuzhu ordered as he quickly approached an inn deep in the mountains.
"Waiter, have a pot of hot wine!"
Shu Xiaoxiao kicked open the door of the inn, walked to the wooden table in the middle and sat down.
That arrogant posture was completely different from his groveling in front of Yang Dong.
The waiter frowned and glanced out the door subconsciously. Seeing that there was no follower behind Shu Mouse, a coldness flashed in his eyes. But there was a smile on his cheeks.
"Please come in, guest officer!"
"May I ask, are you the only one here, or do you have a friend coming with you?"
Shu Shuzhu smiled faintly, took a deep look at the waiter and said:
"Two people and a friend are on their way here. Waiter, bring you the best wine and food. This friend of mine is a high official."
Hearing this, the waiter couldn't help but frown slightly.
He originally thought that the customer who came this time was just Shu Xiaoxiao. Even just now, he was ready to take action.
But according to what the other party meant, the other party also had a guest coming, and he was a high official.
If so... it would be a bit troublesome.
Although he and Bald Shanjiu were bandits, not everyone knew how to rob. Especially when facing officials, their attitude is much more cautious.
After all, if they offend a certain boss-level figure, they are no match for the regular army.
The waiter pondered for a moment, then smiled again.
"May I ask this guest officer, when will your guest arrive?"
"It should be soon."
Shu Mouse glanced at the sun and smiled faintly.
"Speaking of which, you should also know my guest."
Hearing this, a look of doubt flashed across the waiter's face.
"The distinguished guest is joking. I'm just a waiter in an inn. How can I get to know dignitaries? If I really knew them, they would just talk and find a way for me to live, and I would have a much better future than being a waiter in an inn!"
"You do know him."
The smile on Shu Mouse’s face remained unchanged;
"Speaking of which, my friend's surname is Chen, do you have any impressions?"
"Your surname is Chen?"
The waiter frowned. His surname was Chen, and he was an official. He did know someone. It's just... wasn't County Magistrate Chen kidnapped by the boss?
The official mentioned by this guest officer should not be County Magistrate Chen.
Seeing that the waiter was silent, Shu Mouse continued:
"Let me remind you again, he is the magistrate of Xiong County."
As soon as these words came out, the expression on the waiter's face suddenly froze. He subconsciously touched the dagger in his arms, but hesitated and did not pull it out immediately.
After all, it's better not to act rashly until you don't know where the other party is coming from.
The waiter is a very cautious person, and because of this, he has been able to escape death several times.
A trace of confusion suddenly flashed across his cheek, followed by a surprised smile.
"The guest officer is joking. Although this place is not far from Xiong County, the county magistrate is a high-ranking official. How can a villain know him?"
"Is that really true?"
Shu Mouse took a deep look at the waiter.
At this moment, the waiter felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, like a light on his back.
He realized that the other party might have a lot of background, so he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully:
"The guest officer is joking. I really don't know the county magistrate."
"Well, that disappoints me."
Shu Mouse slowly looked away, and the waiter felt the pressure on his body suddenly reduce, and he quickly took a few deep breaths.
But at this moment, Shu Shushu said again:
"That's all, wait a little longer and County Magistrate Chen will come over. Then we will know whether you two know each other."
When the waiter heard this, his heart trembled again. He gave a perfunctory smile again and hurriedly left and headed towards the kitchen.
At this moment, he felt extremely uneasy and wanted to ask Bald Shanjiu where County Magistrate Chen was being held.
The guest officer just now was so confident that he was probably not telling lies.
Could it be that... something went wrong where Magistrate Chen was imprisoned?
However, the waiter searched around the back kitchen, but could not see the bald mountain dove at all.
"Damn it, where did the boss go? He's so good, but he's not even a figure!"
The waiter cursed under his breath, hesitated for a moment, and decided to serve the distinguished guest first.
After all, if there was any misunderstanding and the distinguished guest took offense to me, I would probably not end well.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out two jugs of good wine from the wine cellar.
After hesitating for a moment, and feeling extremely distressed, I cut into a plate of soy sauce beef. Then he hurried towards the front hall.
"Sir, your food is... here it is."
As soon as the waiter came out, he saw County Magistrate Chen's old bones sitting next to Shu Shushou.
At this moment, he even wondered if he had seen it wrong.
But Magistrate Chen sneered and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, we are indeed old acquaintances!"
"Sir, what are you doing..."
The waiter opened his mouth and was about to speak when he suddenly saw two men in black walking in from the door.
They all knelt on one knee in front of Shu Mouse and presented a brocade box.
"Sir, fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and beheaded the bandit leader."
"Oh, really?"
Shu Mouse said, opening the brocade box with great interest.
The next moment, the waiter's expression changed wildly, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost broke through his chest.
It's a bald mountain dove!
He actually died, and died so silently!
Who is this distinguished guest and what does he want to do?
Does he want to take my life? How can I survive!
At this moment, the waiter's brain was running rapidly.
