Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 22 Meeting Zhao Kang Again
"It's gone again. How unreasonable, where is the waiter!" Xiao Xuance shouted dissatisfied when he saw that the water in the toilet was gone again.

"Okay Xuance!"

Her Majesty the Empress looked at His Highness the Prince helplessly and said, forget it, he drank anyway, so instead of making a joke later, it would be better to tell him in advance.

Thinking about it, Xiao Linglong awkwardly pointed to the toilet: "This is not the kettle you think of."

"Sister, you really know how to joke. How can there be water if it's not a kettle? Could it be the washbasin?"

Xiao Xuance laughed, and Her Majesty the Empress was completely speechless.Finally he spoke.

"This is Gong Tong from Yuanjiang County."

"What did you say? What bucket?" Xiao Xuance thought he heard wrongly.

Xiao Linglong nodded heavily: "It's Gong Tong."

"Fuck!"

A deafening scream sounded.

A moment later, Xiao Xuance, who almost vomited out his gallbladder, turned pale and cursed fiercely.

"I must kill the person who made this thing! Sister, you must keep it a secret for me!"

If outsiders knew that I drank the water from Gong's bucket, how could I live with dignity in this life?

"Okay, okay, shut up, I told you to be honest but you don't listen."

"Sister~!"

Looking at Xiao Xuance's bitter look, Her Majesty the Empress couldn't help but laugh, which aroused Xiao Xuance's dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly and clean up after yourself. I will take you to eat delicious food later." Xiao Linglong said.

Xiao Xuance's worries immediately disappeared when he heard that he could leave the inn, and he immediately ran back to his room to change clothes.

After a while, the three of them gathered downstairs.

"Lu Yuan, you go to the county government office to see if Zhao Kang is there. Xuance and I will go to Fengyue Tower first."

"Good lady!"

……

The two siblings were walking on the street, looking at Yihongyuan in the distance. Xiao Xuance was not an ignorant person.

He had also worked in a brothel back then. Just by looking at the name of Yihongyuan, he knew something about it. He leaned next to Xiao Linglong and asked doubtfully: "Sister, there is actually a brothel and brothel in this county?"

Xiao Linglong's face sank, and then she snorted coldly: "You don't know how to look around. The people in Yuanjiang County have enough food and clothing. Even the place they live in is better than other counties. It is better than other state capitals. There is a brothel." All the fuss is about.”

This brothel was invested by the damn Zhao Kang!
Thinking about it, Her Majesty the Empress snorted.

Xiao Xuance clearly sensed the murderous intent and quickly turned his eyes to the side, his eyes brightening involuntarily.

"Hey, there's also a bookstall."

After saying that, she walked forward quickly. Xiao Linglong frowned for a while and thought about it before letting it go.

My brother's orthodox Confucian classics are nonsense, but he reads miscellaneous books with great enthusiasm.

The teachers in the palace felt helpless.

"Young A'kang? Daqian Goddess Record? What are these and what?" Xiao Xuance was a little curious.

When the bookstall owner saw the business, he was still a young boy, so he immediately started cheating.

"This young master, this young Akang is incredible. It is the personal experience of our county grandpa, Mr. Zhao Kang and Zhao..."

"There is also this record of goddesses, but when our Mr. Zhao and I did the deeds of more than a dozen goddesses in the world, the fifty coins per book are definitely worth it!"

"Do we still have goddesses in the Qian Kingdom?"

Xiao Xuance looked at his eldest sister in bewilderment. Xiao Linglong didn't even bother to pay attention to her. It seemed that the goddess was just making it up, and she actually used the name of Zhao Kang.

This guy actually let it go.One hundred articles was nothing to Xiao Xuance, so he happily paid for two books, put them in his arms, and followed Xiao Linglong all the way to Fengyue Tower.

I asked for a private seat, and soon Lu Yuan came back and found the two siblings.

Xiao Linglong: "How is it?"

Lu Yuan said angrily: "Miss, the people in the Yamen said that this Zhao Kang went to the brothel in the county early in the morning!"

Xiao Linglong: "This bastard thing."

His Royal Highness the Prince on the side was surprised, this guy is really bold, the court official actually went to a brothel early in the morning to pick up a prostitute.

If I can't satisfy the eldest sister this time, I'm afraid my head will be lost.

"What happened next?" the empress asked.

Lu Yuan curled his lips: "But those guys in the Yamen are very easy to talk to. After hearing that we were the merchants who bought tea last time, we immediately went to find someone. They said they would definitely arrive in half an hour at most."

"Okay, you go and let the people in the restaurant prepare the dishes." Xiao Linglong thought for a while and gave the order.

She ordered all the dishes that Zhao Kang had ordered when she treated her.

On the other side, Zhao Kang was a little surprised when he heard that Xiao Linglong was here.

"Is this Boss Xiao who bought tea last time?"

Yamen servant Mazi nodded: "It's them. That maid is so handsome. I won't remember wrongly."

"Go and get me a pack of sanitary napkins from the warehouse. This guy is finally here."

Zhao Kang smiled and his walking posture was a little shaky.

When he came to Fengyue Tower, he tidied up his clothes. Under the leadership of the store owner, Zhao Kangcai came to the private room and greeted him warmly.

"Boss Xiao, long time no see!"

Seeing Zhao Kang again, Her Majesty the Empress's mood was a little complicated, but she concealed it well.

With a forced smile, Xiao Linglong said, "Mr. Zhao, I haven't seen you for some time. Why don't Xuance see you soon?"

Xiao Xuance's stomach growled with hunger. He had been waiting for a long time. When he finally saw Zhao Kang, he became excited: "Are you Zhao Kang? Why are you so slow!"

Oh, this kid is a little stunned!

Zhao Kang muttered in his heart, Xiao Linglong glared, and then His Royal Highness remembered his current identity and spoke honestly.

"Xiao Xuance has met Mr. Zhao."

"You're welcome, that's weird. Why do you think you've heard this name somewhere before?" Zhao Kang smiled.

Xiao Linglong's heart skipped a beat. This Zhao Kang was a successful Jinshi at the Capital High School. Could it be that he had heard of the emperor's younger brother's name before?
But when she saw that Zhao Kang had no reaction after he finished speaking, Xiao Linglong felt relieved and changed the topic in a few words.

Soon the food and wine were served.

The food in Yuanjiang County is different from other places. It is cooked with heavy oil and salt over high fire at Zhao Kang's request.

Xiao Xuance felt so good all at once that he kept stuffing food into his mouth.

Xiao Linglong, on the other hand, had no appetite. She looked at Zhao Kang and sighed deliberately.

"What happened, Boss Xiao? Could it be that the sales of that batch of tea were not good?" Zhao Kang asked.

Xiao Linglong shook her head: "My lord, I misunderstood. The tea is selling well, but..."

"Just what?"

Do you still have a sad face when business is good?Zhao Kang was a little curious and didn't notice that he had been brought into the conversation by the woman opposite.

Seeing this, Xiao Linglong pretended to be resentful again: "I can't help it. There was a flood in Jiangzhou some time ago. Daming Mansion is not far from Jiangzhou, which also affected my Xiao family's tea business."
