Chapter 21 Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence
Walking from northern Shaanxi to southern Shaanxi is basically a step-by-step process of walking back to the world from hell.
After walking this way, Yun Zhao was very sure that the land in northern Shaanxi no longer had any occupation value. The way people here lived had changed greatly from the way people in other places made a living. .
In a place where survival is the only purpose, the collapse of etiquette and music is inevitable, let alone etiquette, justice and integrity.
In Yun Zhao's eyes, the people here are like a group of living animals. For the sake of a bite to eat, they can do many things that Yun Zhao would not dare to appear in his nightmares.
Fortunately, Lantian County is not like this! ! !
"When you enter my Lantian County, even if you enter Fuwowo, only my Lantian County has this oily and spicy noodles. If you leave here, if you want to eat such a solid dish again, A bowl of noodles is difficult."
The restaurant owner wiped his hands with a rag and watched Yun Zhao and the other people gobbling up the noodles. He didn't know where he could talk so much nonsense.
Yun Zhao also didn’t understand why Xianyang became Lantian County when he just entered it.
However, this restaurant’s Spicy Noodles are indeed delicious, with lots of chili peppers, garlic, and vinegar. The noodles are also very solid and filling an old bowl. On weekdays, Yun Zhao I couldn't even finish half of it. This time I ate a big bowl. After I finished eating, I slurped it down with noodle soup. After that, I was basically useless. My stomach was so full that it was about to explode. I could only sit for a long time. Humming on the bench.
This kind of trouser belt noodles must be made with wheat from the Guanzhong Plain to have the effect of whetting Yun Zhao’s appetite. Even the hands of the shopkeeper who pulls the noodles are dark, and the nails are even more so. There was a lot of black mud, and since there was such a delicious bowl of noodles, Yun Zhao decided to admit it.
"What? You've finished the noodle soup? Haha, can't you be a good young man? Look at that bald young man, he ate two bowls at once!"
Yun Zhao rolled his eyes and looked. After taking a look at the shopkeeper, if this guy dared to bother him like a fly again, he would be ready to fall out.
"A bowl of noodles costs two hundred cents. Should I pay in silver or copper coins? Let's talk about it first. The young master of Lantian County has an order. The usual payment is one thousand cents. If you pay for one cent less, you will be fined. The government is asking for punishment.
You don’t want to be beaten by the officials?
Our young master is used to beating people!”
They were collecting the bill, so Yun Zhao wasn't angry yet. It was just that there was no meat on the bowl of noodles. If he dared to charge two hundred coins, it was almost like robbery.
After returning to southern Shaanxi from the north, this was the first time Yun Zhao encountered robbery. The suppressed secret fire in his heart suddenly disappeared for some reason.
Yun Zhao looked at the more than 200 brothers and servants surrounding him, then he smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "A bowl of noodles costs ten yuan, and I'll charge you one more to break your legs." "
It stands to reason that ordinary store owners would not dare to do anything wrong if they see Yun Zhao's power, but the noodle shop owner actually did it.Can laugh out loud.
"We are a family of seventeen, including my mother-in-law and my newly married daughter-in-law. We are all here to serve you noodles. Why is it only ten dollars for a bowl of noodles?
Let me tell you, this is Lantian County, a place with royal laws. You thieves who came from the north should be beaten to death when you enter Lantian County. The old man is greedy and wants to make some money. , then you are allowed to eat noodles here.
Pay the money honestly, and then hurry to the city of Xi'an where you want to go. If you see a beautiful girl on the road, don't be tempted to come all the way. When doing business in Xi'an City, don't lose your life in Lantian County."
Yun Zhao felt more and more happy, so much so that a smile he had not seen for many days appeared on his face.
This damn person is a Guanzhong person - greedy, arrogant, and a little bit unreasonable.
The person in this showcase is somewhat stupid. With such a big group of people, can he just tell who is strong and who is weak?
Could it be that his four sturdy sons, who had just finished pulling noodles for the big guy, could defeat more than two hundred people?
After Yun Yang took the last bite of noodles, he saw the shopkeeper chattering with Yun Zhao, so he walked over and grabbed the shopkeeper’s shirt, and raised his hand to give the shopkeeper, who weighed almost 200 kilograms, Throw it far away.
Seeing that the shopkeeper’s sons had already rushed over, the fat shopkeeper, who had been thrown to pieces, climbed up and spread his arms to block his sons, preventing them from following Yun. Yang fought hard.
Then, an old woman with small feet wearing a black cotton-padded jacket got a broken gong from somewhere and started beating it "bang bang bang".
Yun Zhao also stopped the others from trying to cause a quarrel between the shopkeeper and his sons. He stood in the crowd with a smile, ready to see what would happen here.
Seeing people in jet black clothes pouring out of every street like ants, Yun Yang began to become serious, Yun Juan even pulled out a knife, and the other Yun brothers and servants They have already completed their combat formation and surrounded Yun Zhao tightly. They are just waiting for Yun Yang to say a word before preparing to break out of the encirclement.
Yun Zhao didn’t say anything. Yun Yang looked at Yun Zhao several times and saw that Yun Zhao had no intention of leaving, so he yelled: "Be on guard!"
It was already long ago The Yun brothers and servants who had been waiting for a long time immediately drew their swords, and some even drew shields, spears, bows and arrows, and muskets from under the carriage. Twelve people formed a group, overturned the heavy table, and completed the arrangement of the military formation.
"The bandits are coming..."
I don't know who shouted, Yun Zhao's expression dimmed slightly, he was worried that he would see this group of people soon The appearance of a wolf running like a pig.
It is strange that although these people retreated slightly, they did not disperse in a hurry. They did not throw away the knives, wooden forks, shovels, and hoes in their hands.
Yun Zhao and his group were still surrounded tightly.
"Half the people in this place are here, right?"
Yun Zhao asked in a low voice Shopkeeper Yun who was standing next to him.
Shopkeeper Yun whispered: "It's not just that, young master, look, there are old men with white hair and beards in the crowd, as well as teenagers in their teens. I think all the men in this place should be out. "
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "That's right. It's so rare to be able to do this with half a stick of incense."
Just as Yun Zhao was whispering to Shopkeeper Yun. While he was talking, a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt and three long beards with a somewhat fairy-like air walked out from the crowd in black.
Shopkeeper Yun in the Chaojun formation raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, no matter where you come from or where you go, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Now that you have arrived at my territory in Lantian County, you can do business with us." It's your turn to be rich, and it's your turn to be safe.
As long as you don't insult the locals, no one will block your path to wealth. Even if you attack Xi'an, it has nothing to do with us.
If you dominate the world, we will just pay you taxes
The problem is that you beat Mr. Liu today and still don’t give him any money. This is your fault. .
Brother, listen to my advice. You can be tyrannical with what you are holding in other places, but not in Lantian County. Just give the meal money to Liu Laofei for company. Tangyao Yinzi, how about letting this matter go?"
Yun Zhao stood in the crowd and said sullenly: "I have enough men to kill you all."
The middle-aged man in blue shirt smiled when he heard this, pointed at Yun Zhao and said: "You young man doesn't know the importance. Didn't you ask where Lantian County is when you came here?
My county magistrate is not even that old. He is older, but he has a bad temper and cannot tolerate being bullied by others. You have firearms in your hands, and my county magistrate also has firearms in his hands. The thieves who have had their heads chopped off by my magistrate over the years are all coveting the food of my Lantian County.
If you don’t mess with us, we won’t touch you. If you deliberately seek trouble, don’t blame my county magistrate for having your children extinct.
Come on, don’t you have a firearm first? Starting from a certain house, be sure to hit me in the chest. If you can’t kill me today, we will kill you!” The crowd roared: "Folks, don't you think so?"
The already timid crowd was fooled by this guy, and slowly surrounded him, with more and more people.
“Should we kill him or not?” Yun Yang touched Yun Zhao with his shoulder and smiled like a flower blooming.
Yun Zhao said: "Do you think we are in the prairie?"
Shopkeeper Yun quickly said: "How about showing the young master's name?"
Yun Zhao glanced at Shopkeeper Yun and said: "Don't go out with me in the future. The older you get, the more confused you become. These people have the courage of your young master. It took me five years to raise it. If you let me out, wouldn't I?" Have you been busy for so many years?”
Yunjuan stretched his neck.He looked outside and said anxiously: "You can't kill, you can't fight, and you can't use your name. Look, those people are slowly approaching."
Yun Zhao clicked his lips and looked at the man just now After wiping his nosebleed and holding a wooden fork, Liu Laofang, who stood at the front as majestic as a general, couldn't help but laugh again.
He said to Shopkeeper Yun: "Let's surrender, make amends to others, make amends, say soft words, eh, eh, that's it, you go!"
