Crossing a long street, Xu Shunping saw that Mr. Zheng was walking in front and had no intention of stopping, so he couldn't help but ask: "Master Zheng, where are we going?"
"Go see the noble man." Mr. Zheng said without looking back.
"Master Zheng, can you tell me which nobleman wants to see me?" Xu Shunping took two steps and walked forward side by side with Mr. Zheng.
Mr. Zheng glanced sideways at him and said, "You will know when you get there. Anyway, if your kid gets rich, don't forget about your brothers."
"If the little one is really prosperous, he will definitely not forget Master Zheng's support." Xu Shunping clasped his fists towards Master Zheng.
Lingqiu City is not big. After walking for a while, the two of them have almost reached the gate of the east city. If they go further, they will be out of the city gate.
Xu Shunping murmured in his heart, his feet unconsciously slowed down, and he reminded him: "Master Zheng, if you continue walking forward, you will be out of the city."
"What? Are you afraid of leaving the city?" Mr. Zheng asked back.
Xu Shunping rubbed his hands, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of going out of the city. It's just that dead bodies often float out of the moat here in the East City. It's scary to see, and it's easy to have nightmares at night."
"I'm not afraid of nightmares if I don't do anything wrong." Master Zheng replied.
Xu Shunping stopped and said, "Master Zheng, if we go out of the city, I will go back. Before I came out, my uncle's staff told me that I was only allowed to wander around the city and not leave the city."
Master Zheng glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, we won't leave the city, it's just ahead."
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction ahead with his hand.
Xu Shunping looked in the direction of the finger and saw that the direction pointed by the other person was a dental shop next to the city gate.
This dental shop has been open for some years and is older than him. He knows that the dental shop is backed by people from the yamen.
I heard Mr. Zheng say: "Let's go, the noble man is waiting in the dental shop!"
When he heard that he was not leaving the city, Xu Shunping breathed a sigh of relief and followed Mr. Zheng into the dental shop. ,
"Master Zheng, please come in quickly." A waiter from Yahang saw Xu Shunping and others and greeted them enthusiastically.
Master Zheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to wait on him. I'll take him to the backyard to meet someone."
"Okay! If you have anything to do, Mr. Zheng, just call me Xiao." The Yaxing clerk agreed, then turned and left.
"Mr. Zheng has a wide circle of people. Even the people in the dental shop will give you face. I heard that there are people from the yamen behind this dental shop." Xu Shunping looked flattering.
"I can't compare to you. We, the governor of Datong, are all your uncles. You are so prosperous that even that noble man asked you to do things." Mr. Zheng patted Xu Shunping on the shoulder.
These few words made Xu Shunping very useful. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with some pride in his tone: "If Mr. Zheng goes to Datong in the future, I will take you to eat in Datong's restaurants and visit Datong's courtyards."
The yard he mentioned was not a house of a certain family, but one similar to a brothel. However, this kind of yard was mainly for selling laughs, which was slightly more elegant than the direct flesh business of a brothel.
"I will remember what you said. When I go to Datong one day, I will definitely let you take me to play with the girls in the yard." Master Zheng said with a smile, and walked directly to the backyard of Yaxing without stopping. .
As soon as they entered the backyard, the two people were stopped by two strong young men in the yard.
Master Zheng said hurriedly: "Two brothers, this is Master Xu Shunping, the nephew of the governor of Datong."
The two young and strong men looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and searched Xu Shunping's body, and then searched Master Zheng again.
"Go in!" Another young and strong man waved his hand.
Master Zheng bowed his hands to the two young and strong men, and then led Xu Shunping towards the innermost room.
Xu Shunping, who was following him, whispered: "Master Zheng, who were those two people just now? Why do they look so fierce? They are more fierce than the soldiers beside my governor."
Mr. Zheng glanced at him and explained: "These two people are the guards around the noble man. They are all ruthless characters who have seen blood."
Within a few words, the two of them reached the door of the house they were going to. Mr. Zheng stepped forward, opened the door, and walked in with Xu Shunping.
As soon as they entered the house, several young and strong men surrounded the two people, and one of them closed the door again.
"Master Huang, I've brought the person you asked for."
Mr. Zheng looked at a young and strong man sitting in the room with a humble expression.
Huang Hong blew the tea in the tureen in his hand, took a sip, closed the lid, and asked, "Is he Xu Shunping?"
"Yes, he is Xu Shunping, the nephew of the governor of Datong." Mr. Zheng nodded repeatedly.
Huang Hong put down the tureen in his hand, looked at Xu Shunping, and said, "So you are also a member of the Xu family in Lingqiu?"
"You invited me here, is this how you treat guests?"
Facing the person in front of him, Xu Shunping no longer behaved as carefully and respectfully as before in front of Mr. Zheng, but instead looked a little domineering.
When he thought about it, this person who invited him here naturally wanted to curry favor with the governor, and since he was the governor's nephew, he had to show his identity as the governor's nephew, otherwise how could others hand over the money to him obediently.
Master Zheng glanced at Xu Shunping with a strange expression.
Huang Hong smiled lightly and said, "I didn't say I invited you over, I just asked someone to bring you over."
As he spoke, he pulled out a gun and stuck it on the table next to him.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shunping was startled. He hurriedly looked at Master Zheng aside and said, "Master Zheng, what does this mean? Didn't you say that a noble person invited me over?"
Mr. Zheng closed his ears, nose and nose, and looked at his mouth without saying a word.
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Huang Hong pulled out the gun, pinched the tip of the gun with his fingers, and said, "Let me ask you, what are those people from the governor's Yamen doing in Lingqiu?"
Xu Shunping secretly glanced at the gun in Huang Hong's hand and stammered: "I, I am the nephew of the governor. If you dare to touch me, the governor will definitely not let you go."
"Noisy!" Huang Hong said to the young man beside him, "Let him wake up and understand his situation."
Snapped!
The strong young man rounded his arms and slapped Xu Shunping on the face.
Xu Shunping fell to the ground, half of his face immediately swollen, and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.
"Are you awake now?" Huang Hong leaned over and looked at Xu Shunping.
Xu Shunping trembled, looked at Master Zheng beside him for help, and said, "Master Zheng, what's going on? You have a noble person who wants to see my uncle, so he asked me to find him through connections."
Mr. Zheng glanced at Xu Shunping sympathetically and advised: "If Mr. Huang asks you anything, just answer it honestly!"
Before, he thought that Mr. Huang came to Xu Shunping to ask for something, but now he saw that it was not like he was asking for something.
"It seems that the slap just now didn't wake me up, and I have to wake up again." Huang Hong said, playing with the BS in his hand.
Xu Shunping trembled and said hurriedly: "I said, I said, Staff Zhang brought the young child to Lingqiu to complain."
Huang Hong was playing with the BS in his hand and asked without raising his head: "Who are you suing?"
Xu Shunping carefully glanced at the few young and strong men around him, and then said: "Advisor Zhang asked me to sue Liu Heng, the proprietor of the Tiger Flag, and accuse him of seeking wealth and murder." 11
