The waiter smiled slightly and said, "I can't say I remember everyone, but I remember most of them. But this is the first time you two have seen them."
Ji Changying frowned: "Do I need to check my household registration just to eat here?"
"Please don't blame me. It's really not right to be careless at this moment! Have you heard about the refugees who broke into our Liangzhou city before? They smashed many of our roadside shops! Could you please tell me where you are?" The waiter smiled cautiously.
Even the people who were eating stopped and stared at them vaguely. Some people slowly moved to the door, as if they were going to close the door and arrest someone if the situation was not right.
····
I just wanted to have a meal, but I didn't expect it to become so stressful.
Seeing Zhou's eyes fixed on the cauldron of soup, Ji Changying straightened her expression and said, "I'm proud to have such caring neighbors like you! The more difficult times are, the more we must unite and drive away those bad guys!"
The waiter's face relaxed and he felt proud of it.
"I'm the niece of our Liangzhou City Bandit Commander! I live on Wutong Street in the west of our city."
Kou Jiming, who was slurping soup from a bowl in a corner of the lobby, almost choked to death on his soup when he heard this.
The atmosphere in the entire hall relaxed. It was true that the people living on Wutong Street were all from the government office, but outsiders generally didn't know this.
Ji Changying had just made up the story after hearing it mentioned by the governor, but she didn't expect the waiter to come forward with a polite look on his face: "So she's Captain Kou's niece! What do you two want?"
She said calmly, "I want ten bowls of mutton soup and fifteen sesame cakes with meat! Send them to the government office."
"Okay! I'll be there right away!" The waiter felt more certain when he heard that he would be sent to the government office.
He immediately started busy preparing the food box and getting the sesame cakes.
Seeing that they wanted to leave, Kou Jiming finished the meat in his bowl in a few bites and followed Ji Changying and the others towards the government office.
Thinking of the delicious food, Zhou jumped all the way home, eager to go home.
Seeing that they were already seen at the government office gate, Ji Changying took a few quick steps without looking around and arrived at the door first.
"Stop! What are you doing?" The doorman stopped her expressionlessly.
"I am the niece of Captain Kou. I am here to find him with a letter from home. Please let him know." Ji Changying took out the letter from her arms with a serious look on her face.
The deceived concierge believed it. When he was about to take the letter, he saw Ji Changying's back and his face lit up with joy: "Isn't Captain Kou behind you?"
Ji Changying's face froze for a moment, and she turned her head away mechanically.
She saw a burly man with a rough face and broad shoulders not far away looking at her with an ambiguous expression.
No way? This guy who had been following them all the way, looking malicious but not doing anything out of the ordinary, was actually Captain Kou?!
Kou Jiming saw her looking at him and grinned: "Niece?"
Ji Changying was also shameless: "So my Uncle Kou is back! Isn't this a coincidence? We just happened to meet!"
She handed the letter over with both hands: "This is your letter, would you like to take a look first?"
Kou Jiming: ...
This girl is good. She will strike the snake with the stick when she can. She is someone who can do great things!
He took the letter with a smile.
The doorman next to them saw that they really knew each other and immediately let them in.
As soon as he entered the government office, Ji Changying said to the two waiters who were serving soup, "Send me to the government office jail, thank you."
The two waiters suspected they were hallucinating: "Huh???"
"Mom! Take them and deliver the meal! I've already paid!"
Zhou couldn't wait any longer. Upon hearing this, she pulled the two waiters on her left and right and walked towards the prison.
Kou Jiming finished reading the letter in his hand and looked at Ji Changying: "So, all the Ji family members are here now?"
Ji Changying nodded obediently: "Here we are! We are all here! Um... Uncle Kou, we are not strangers here. I have limited time to come out, so I will be frank. You see, my family used to be scholars. We can't lift anything with our shoulders or hands. Can you help us find a village to resettle?"
Seeing her like this, Kou Jiming couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Before you arrived, Xin Zhongyuan wrote me a letter asking if you had arrived and asked me to take care of you!"
"Don't worry, I've already made plans for this!"
If he hadn't known in advance that he would have arrested anyone who dared to pretend to be his niece at the dinner table, would he have had the leisure to follow him to the government office?
Ji Changying thought that the things she left behind had finally played a role, otherwise why would Xin Zhongyuan care so much about it.
"I see! You're so attentive to your friend's request. You're definitely the most loyal person I've ever met! A true man!"
Ji Changying's face was filled with surprise and admiration. Seeing this, Kou Jiming couldn't help but straighten his chest and said, "Just wait. I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."
"Thank you so much! Once we're settled in, I'll definitely invite you home for a drink!"
"Just live your life well!"
Kou Jiming patted her shoulder.
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Not only did I find Captain Kou without much effort, but he also agreed to do it tomorrow without any effort.
In the future, don’t forget to give gifts to Captain Kou during festivals.
Ji Changying returned to the cell on her own initiative.
The jailer was a little annoyed to see her coming and going freely, but thinking that she was someone who was specially "cared for" by her superiors, he just let it go.
The whole cell was filled with the delicious aroma of mutton soup. Zhou, who was enjoying her meal, saw her come back and quickly handed her the remaining bowl: "Eat it quickly! This is so warm and comfortable!"
The tribesmen nearby were drooling at the smell.
When he heard his child crying for food, he slapped him in the face: "I won't feed you!"
