The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 44 Wan Kee Firm, Wan Boss
"Master!" Li Xiaodao shouted nervously when he heard Young Master Wan say that he wanted to draw his sword.

Pei Zhiqi took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, my lady."

He drew his sword out of its sheath, and the sound of metal rubbing was harsh and loud.

"Brother Liu", Pei Zhiqi suddenly called Liu Xin, and then said word by word: "My Great Yu Dynasty has a word in the law that the murderer pays with his life, but if the situation is critical and he has to fight back because of being attacked, it is a self-protection act." , and cause the death of others, you can not be held accountable, but you need to have evidence. Today I will ask Brother Liu to be a witness. If I accidentally kill this entourage of Mr. Wan and even himself, it is all out of self-defense and I have to for."

The corners of Liu Xin's mouth rose slightly, as if he was not afraid of things at all, "Okay", he simply answered one word, and the hand on his waist just now came back to the front, and he looked relaxed with his arms folded.

After hearing Liu Xin's promise, Pei Zhiqi threw away the scabbard, turned his wrist and swung the sword freely. After a few movements, the blade suddenly stopped and pointed directly at Master Wan himself.

Although the attendants obeyed the order and drew their swords, it would really cause death. Just now, so many people were defeated by this scholar. Now the white blade is shining brightly, and it is scary to look at. I am afraid that I will become a ghost under the sword. One holds a knife but does not move forward, but stands still or even gradually retreats.

At this time, the young master Wan was so angry that he lost his mind, and shouted for a long time, "Go! Go!" But the followers only moved forward a few steps. No one dared to fight with Pei Zhiqi. He grabbed the knife of the entourage next to him and wanted to pounce on himself.

Fortunately, he was grabbed by those three cronies, and quickly snatched the knife from Master Wan's hand while he was not paying attention.

"Brother Wan, let's forget about it today, let's treat it as a bad luck, let's play with another family, huh? Don't be angry!" The three of them were almost kicking their hands and feet while shouting and yelling. Pei Zhi was surprised to see that Young Master Wan, who was waiting to settle accounts with him, hurried out of the inn. Seeing that the master was kidnapped by the master's friends, the attendants hurriedly followed him out of the inn.

The inn that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet, and there were only three of them left in the lobby.

Li Xiaodao put the dagger back into his waist and said with a smile: "Ha, I didn't expect these friends to be useful, so he saved his life. Mr. Master, do you know this young master Wan?"

Pei Zhiqi picked up the scabbard on the ground and put the sword back into the scabbard. He looked at the lady, smiled and shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Li Xiaodao turned to look at Liu Xin, who also shook his head.

He has heard of the boss surnamed Wan, but there are so many young masters surnamed Wan, who knows which one it is.

"Really, I didn't eat well," Li Xiaodao sighed, he didn't eat a few bites just now, why did he feel hungry again after working for a while.

"Let's go out and find a restaurant to make up for supper, but it can't be too far away, it's almost curfew," Pei Zhiqi suggested.

Both Li Xiaodao and Liu Xin nodded in agreement, and the three of them were about to leave when they were stopped by the waiter who appeared from nowhere.

"Three guest officers, please stay! Please stay!" Xiao Er called the guests while trotting to catch up.

"Shop waiter? Where did you guys hide just now?" Li Xiaodao asked jokingly.

The waiter scratched his head embarrassingly and replied with a smile on his face: "We don't have the skill of this scholar, so we hid in the back kitchen for a while. The three of you don't need to go out to eat. Our boss just said that we want to invite the three of you to eat." For dinner, cook a good meal, but the boiled three delicacies... I don't have any ingredients today, but I can't make it, it's a pity..."

Li Xiaodao hurriedly smiled and waved his hands and said: "Farewell, I don't want to see this dish at all now." After saying that, several people laughed.

In the evening, the innkeeper ordered someone to make another four dishes and one soup, saying that he would waive the bill for Li Xiaodao and the others, but Pei Zhiqi still paid for it later.

During the meal, the innkeeper, a chubby old man in his early fifties, came out and sat by the side and chatted with the three of them for a while.

"If there are no three today, I don't know what the ancestor will do. Fortunately, the ancestor is not from the local area. If there is a disturbance, he will go back to the provincial capital. Otherwise, who can take care of him!" The innkeeper shook his head and sighed: "But The ancestors in this place are not easy to serve. Look at my shop, which is calm and calm every day. They have paid money in private. If the money is not paid, there will be no safety for a day. People come to the door looking for trouble, tell me, this place is not far from the provincial capital, hundreds of miles away, why is there no one to take care of it?"

Pei Zhiqi comforted: "Boss, don't worry, one day the imperial court will return Yibai County to a blue sky."

The boss nodded helplessly: "I believe it, but I just don't know when it will be!"

Li Xiaodao asked the innkeeper, "Where did that Young Master Wan come from? Why are everyone so afraid of him?"

"He is the only child of Boss Wan in the provincial capital."

"Boss Wan in the provincial capital?" Li Xiaodao asked in confusion, she didn't know who Boss Wan in the provincial capital was.She looked at Mr. Xiang, who also shook his head slightly.

"There is only one Boss Wan in the provincial capital." Liu Xin, who had been silent all night, suddenly said, "Boss Wan of Wanji Commercial Firm, Wan Yushan."

The innkeeper nodded: "That's right, Wanji Commercial Firm is the largest commercial firm in Southeast Province. It started to make a fortune when Emperor Gaozu founded the country. Today, it not only operates ordinary taverns and teahouses, silk cloth, and even medicinal materials, but also owns dozens of He is a large ship, which not only conducts trade at sea, but also manages the water transportation of Dayu’s domestic provinces. Even when the tax season is busy, the government will ask him to help transport grain and salt. It may not be comparable to the big commercial firms in the capital, but In this southeast province, if he is number two, no one dares to be number one."

Li Xiaodao nodded thoughtfully, he turned out to be a rich second generation.

Although the status of the ancient scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants is not high, it is impossible to do business for this purpose without a little authority.

"The gentleman offended his son today, will he be very sad later?" Li Xiaodao supported his head with his hands, feeling a little worried.

The innkeeper smiled and shook his head: "People don't dare to say it, but Mr. Pei is a scholar, and he was selected as a scholar, so it doesn't matter. I heard that Boss Wan in this provincial capital likes scholars the most, and he respects them very much. Have you heard of the famous Jingde Academy in the city? It has produced champions and many candidates, and that is the academy that the ancestors of the Wan family have been exclusively funding since the beginning."

"Ah?" After hearing this sentence, Li Xiaodao was taken aback, she quickly turned her head to look at Xianggong.

Xianggong's expression was still calm and gentle, without any waves.

Doesn't this mean that he beat up the only son of the school's sole proprietorship before he was admitted to a private school?

"Msanggong... what should I do..." Li Xiaodao worried.

"Young lady, don't worry. The so-called soldiers will block you, and water will cover you. You can do whatever you want. You can go to the academy to take the exam normally. If you pass the exam, you should study hard. If you don't pass the exam, think of another way." Pei Zhiqi comforted the lady with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Pei Zhiqi picked up the teacup and quietly took a sip.
