This officer with a royal background seems to be "just and impartial" and "not interested in personal favors"!
Under his angry rebuke, the "lively" energy of the "outstanding" soldier was immediately suppressed. He shrank his shoulders and retreated back among his companions.
"Here you are! Today our store has a special launch of 'Ecstasy': three venison for a large bowl, two venison for a medium bowl, and one venison for a small bowl. I don't know how many officials came to appreciate it. To express our gratitude, we have a special offer! All, One penny and one bowl, no matter how big or small, how many officials are there? I will estimate whether it is enough to drink, and prepare more ingredients immediately!"
Ziling wiped the sweat on his forehead with the sweat towel hanging around his neck, took it off again, and shook it down in the air a few times. When it was dry, he put it back on his neck. With a smile on his face, he asked with great enthusiasm.
"Bold and unruly! Don't play in front of me! Just when we got the signal, the thief is in your store. Please hand over the culprit quickly, lest we take action and the severity of the people under our control is unknown. We don't want to cause your wine shop to have broken cups all over the floor! You know what you're doing! Hurry up and make friends!"
The commander still had a serious look on his face and did not mean the slightest bit of mercy.
"You are joking, sir! I am a serious businessman, a common man. I am on the street and open the door to welcome guests every day. I behave in a good manner. I have never paid less than a penny in rent or less than half a day of labor. I am very good at harboring fugitives. ', Is it illegal? I'm not stupid. I'm good or bad, but the villain still understands! Sir, you must have made a mistake!"
The demon still looked innocent.
"The household register is here for me. I will order all the people in the shop to come out and stand in a line. I want to check them one by one!"
The chief wanted to count the number of people, so Ziling had to ask all the shop assistants to come out and do it.
This "household book" is the "industrial and commercial registration" of this wine shop. The "birth, origin, relatives, and family background of each hired worker recorded on it are all clear."
After this investigation, the problem came. The procedures were all correct, but it was the age of this person that didn't seem right. That is: he seemed too young.
Of course, "Cefather" used money to buy local household registration connections, but used soldiers who were all young people to top up the numbers. There was more or less an age gap, which made people suspicious.
If they didn't compare it with the household registration book one by one, they could still be fooled; but now the official interrogated them one by one in person, and soon, the Song Mandarin with the Tan accent betrayed them. Although each of them has memorized the corresponding background information very well, their accent cannot be changed in ten days or half a month.
"None of you are local citizens! Tell me, who are you?"
The officer's stern words made the young men dressed as Tan Bing, who had poor psychological quality, panic and panic, and they were too frightened to raise their heads.
"Don't tell me? Okay! I have a good place for you to explain clearly! I've arrested everyone who comes!"
"Wait!"
The person who stopped the officer coming from the south was none other than the leader of the eastbound Huan clan who had just sent the signal.
"The signal was sent by my subordinates. Do you think this criminal is going to be arrested by you?"
This time it became lively and started to "grab credit".
"Explanation? Just because I know a few of them, they are the accomplices of the thieves! You don't know it, you just run away, it's embarrassing!"
When it came to "escape", the few soldiers who had just given the signal were unwilling. Relying on the strength of their numbers, they stood up, patted their chests and said:
"Sir, we are cowards. If we hadn't ignored the danger, took the lead, and were the first to notice any unusual movement here and send out the signal, how could you and others have the responsibility to speak out about it!"
When the other two teams saw that this "credit" was about to be taken over by these two teams, they were naturally dissatisfied that their hard work was in vain, so they also stepped forward. One of the leading officers interjected:
"In terms of courage, both of your families are great; but in terms of intelligence, both of your families are not as good as a three-year-old child! It's ridiculous!"
"How do you say this?"
The royal chief from the south was dissatisfied and turned to ask.
"You two, one said: I want Brother Luo to go to ask questions; the other said: I have been in danger. Everyone, what kind of place is this, a wine shop! Do you know whether you are a drinker? Are you talking nonsense after drinking too much? Just think about this row of people here. Who is the fugitive "Yang Zhen" and who is "Wang Dan" and others? What are you doing? I haven’t even figured it out yet, so it’s just a matter of ‘you say something, and I say something’ so we can argue with each other, it’s really funny!”
Of course it makes sense for Fahrenheit's chief to say this, just like "Everyone started fighting over the chicken farm before the eggs were evenly loaded." This kind of boring internal strife is really embarrassing.
"So, how do you do a search? How do you show that you are so smart?"
The royal chiefs who came from the south were wary of the officers and soldiers of the Hua family. They wanted to get angry, but they didn't dare to do it all, so they had to use their strength to rebound and throw the problem back.
"How can we talk about 'fighting for intelligence'? We all earn official salaries and hold official positions. We catch thieves and eliminate bandit troubles. This is our main business. We are fighting for words and words in this space. What kind of skills do we have!"
Chief Hua's words made the royal family from the south and the Huan family from the east lose their dignity. Everyone was still not convinced and didn't know what to say.
"Just search! There's so much nonsense! Come on!"
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say and argue, Hua's chief raised his hand, and the officers and soldiers behind him poured into the wine shop one after another, filling the place inside and outside.
Is this a big deal? If everyone in the Hua clan is allowed to catch them, the Nanlai royal family and the Donglai family, which was the first to discover the situation, will lose the opportunity to take credit, so the two families will also follow the "Go!"
For a moment, all the officers and soldiers crowded into the wine shop. Finally, even the wine cellar was crowded with officers and soldiers who were confused about you and me.
Everyone was busy searching for "felon offenders", but the guys who had just been designated as "accomplices" winked at each other, and took advantage of the gap when the officers and soldiers were not paying attention, and each went back to draw the unburned firewood under Ke Ling. , to save face; while Ge Ling kicked away the firewood and walked steadily towards the wine cellar with three feet. At the entrance of the stairs, leaning forward, Ge Ling poured out all the boiled "Ecstasy mash". Go down.
The guys took the opportunity to throw in all the half-burning firewood.
For a time, the scalding fermented glutinous rice soup and wine turned into flaming "white magma" and flowed all over the floor from top to bottom. Countless people were scalded and burned by this, and people squeezed and trampled on each other.
For a time, the wine cellar became "purgatory on earth."
