Chapter 232: A Man of the Times is a Hero
This reaction was so bizarre that Lin Qingyuan was stunned. He looked at the happy faces around him with a hint of bewilderment: "A fight is about to start. Shouldn't I run?"
What he likes to watch most is the scene where diners drop their shoes when something goes wrong.
Something is wrong here!
Lin Qingyuan is a well-known playboy in Pingyang Prefecture. He has done many things like smashing shops and causing troubles, and has encountered all kinds of situations.
Faced with the provocation, some shop owners knelt down and begged for mercy, while others resisted like Tianxianglou. He would smash the shop and then take them to the government office to beat them up. Anyway, they would just pay some money and the matter would be settled.
The diners around should have fled in panic, fearing that they would be harmed innocently.
But at this moment, he just sat there motionless, with an expression as if waiting to watch a show.
Lin Qingyuan has been in the provincial capital for many years and is not stupid. He thought for a moment and looked around.
At this time, the people who were wiping the table by the wall, carrying bowls and dishes in the hall, serving plates, and serving tea with copper kettles, all looked like ordinary waiters and handymen were looking at him. Their eyes... were so cold, how could it make people feel creepy!
His heart suddenly skipped a beat: Could this be a shady shop?
impossible!
This is in the downtown area of the city, and there are so many customers in the store, it can't be a black shop.
But why didn’t Huang Changsheng tell me that Tianxiang Tower had so many guards!
This old guy is trying to trick me!
He wants to fight Tianxianglou himself, and it would be best if he gets beaten to death. Then Tianxianglou closes down and he can take advantage of the situation.
If it were an ordinary young man, he might have started doing it just now.
Knowing that he was being used as a pawn by Huang Changsheng, Lin Qingyuan suppressed his anger. After a few breaths, his expression returned to calm and he sat there without moving.
Seeing that he didn't fight, the people around him got anxious and urged him, "What are you doing standing there, young master? Are you going to fight or not? I'm almost done with my barbecue."
"Why are you fighting? I'm here to drink and eat skewers!"
Lin Qingyuan took a sip of the wine leisurely, laughed, opened his folding fan, and fanned it leisurely again, but the movement was a little fast.
"Tsk!" The people around him snorted in disdain and resumed eating and drinking.
Zhou Xiang didn't expect Lin Qingyuan to suddenly stop, but since the other party didn't provoke trouble, he didn't want to make trouble either.
He immediately bowed to Lin Qingyuan and said, "Sir, please forgive me for the offense I just caused. I will give you a free pot of wine as apology!"
"Okay!" Lin Qingyuan nodded with the corner of his mouth pulled.
After Zhou Xiang left, he put away his folding fan, lowered his eyes, and glanced coldly at Xiao Cui, who was staring at him eagerly, and the other three frightened maids. He said calmly, "This young master's money is not blown away by the wind. This is a famous restaurant in Qili County. You should finish your meal before leaving."
Xiao Cui was generous with her ordering yesterday, ordering hundreds of skewers of each item.
Each skewer here is genuine and generous in portion. The four of them would have to be full to death to finish it.
"Master, we can't eat anymore!" a maid in a red shirt said softly.
"Well, you guys helped solve it!"
Lin Qingyuan was in a very good attitude at this time, and gestured to the two burly guards and two servants beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
The guards and servants were immediately delighted with this good news. They had been sitting there for so long and had been craving for it for a long time.
Several people wolfed down all the food on the table, and even the lamb that Xiao Cui had quietly put aside was snatched up by the two guards.
This is a good thing, hard to buy even with money.
The group left the same way they came, silently!
Tianxiang Tower is still bustling with people and bustling with activity.
Everything was over, but Song Liyun didn't show up. She and Lin Tao were still in the county government office.
Two hours ago, Jiang Feng sent someone to call him over, saying that something happened.
As a result, I saw a group of girls in tattered clothes.
"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do?" Song Liyun said.
Lin Tao was also scratching his head.
There are ten people here, all around twenty years old, the youngest being fifteen years old. They are refugee women bought from outside the city by the Pingyang government office.
Jiang Feng knew that Captain Luo would not give him money if he asked for it without any reason, so he asked the government office for some women to give to the Suijin Guards.
The soldiers in the garrison are all bachelors, and for the sake of these women, Captain Luo had to agree even if he wanted to.
What makes Lin Tao embarrassed now is that if he takes these women directly back to the garrison, the twenty brothers in Tianxiang Tower will definitely skin him alive.
But if he took these women to Tianxiang Tower, the brothers in the garrison would skin him alive.
He only has one life, and it's never enough.
"Miss Song, you should make the arrangements. The captain will certainly listen to your words."
Lin Tao thought that Song Liyun was a woman and a military household, so it would be more appropriate to let her handle it.
Song Liyun shook her head when she heard this: "No, no, I think we should let the captain come himself!"
Song Liyun could still make decisions on other matters, but now that they were real people, she didn't dare to speak up.
Everyone knew that these women were sent to the garrisons to marry the soldiers.
There are hundreds of bachelors over there, and only ten women here. Some are tall, some are short, some are fat, some are thin, some are beautiful, and some are ugly. There are too many wolves and too little meat, so no one is suitable for them.
Finally, the two men discussed and decided to send him back to Suijin Town and quietly place him outside until Captain Luo could come up with a solution.
So, the two of them hired two carriages and took the people back to Suijin Town, and thus missed the opportunity to meet Master Lin from Tianxiang Tower.
As soon as the ten women were placed in the Suijin Guild Hall, Lin Tao hurriedly ran to find the captain, demanding that he hand over this hot potato quickly.
The two of them wanted to keep it a secret, but how could they hide the fact that a group of girls came to town?
By the evening, the news had spread among the soldiers in the garrison, and they all shouted with excitement.
Lin Tao was glad that he ran fast and told Captain Luo that he would go back to Tianxiang Tower.
Captain Luo was in a miserable situation. He was blocked in the office of the garrison by several general and minor flag officers who asked him to marry him.
These are all people who have made contributions, and there are not enough for everyone.
Captain Luo was so angry that he ran to the county government office overnight: Jiang Feng wanted to send people away but didn't know how many to send. He was deliberately causing trouble for himself.
As a result, after a secret conversation with Jiang Feng, Captain Luo failed to rob the money, but instead paid out five hundred taels of silver.
However, he got some news.
Now the crown prince is the regent, and he has begun to clean up the court and the country. Soon a large number of officials' wives will be punished and sent to the border.
They will all be sent to Yunzhou by then, and he will try to pick out the best ones.
In addition, the Dilu cavalry had retreated to Pingliang Fort due to harassment and siege from all sides.
The Zhenbei Army took back the rights of the Xuanwei Army in Qing'an Prefecture, the war was about to subside, and the third young master was secretly recruited into the capital by the prince.
After hearing this news, Captain Luo no longer felt bad about the five hundred taels of silver, and was content to deal with the ten women here.
The distribution is based on merit, so there is no need to worry about those bastards in the garrison being disobedient.
Song Liyun dropped her bag, stayed at home for one night, and then started to get busy in Tianxianglou again.
Lin Qingyuan didn't cause any trouble the first time he went to Tianxiang Tower, so he went there again with his maids and servants.
