Chapter 488 The scenery is unique

   "Don't be impulsive, girl, don't be impulsive, it's me who messed up, it's me who messed up." The shopkeeper slapped himself a few times with his bows from left and right, and soon a faint anger came.

   "It doesn't smell good, let's go out." Shao Mingyuan said with a smile.

  Everyone walked past the anecdote one by one, not even throwing a look at him.

  The outside of the wine shop was indeed surrounded by officers and soldiers, all of them holding long swords.

   "You are the gangsters who killed the former mayor of Haimendu?" the leading official asked.

  Yang Houcheng strode forward and said coldly: "We are the righteous people who came to plunder the Japanese pirates who came to plunder the people of Haimendu."

   "Righteous man?" The leading officer pointed the tip of his long knife directly at Yang Houcheng, "Stop talking nonsense, you just need to say whether you killed the former mayor!"

  The people in the town were watching the excitement from a distance, and when the official asked this question, someone shouted: "It's them!"

   Soon someone echoed: "That's right, it's them!"

   Some people couldn't bear it, and whispered: "After all, they killed those Japanese pirates—"

   "So what? At that time, we knelt down and begged them to stay, but they ignored us. We were lucky, and our accomplices who avenged those Japanese pirates didn't come, otherwise we could still stand here and talk?"

   After saying this, there was no sound of apprehension in the crowd.

When the leading officer heard the confirmation from the townspeople, he immediately took out his pocket cards and attacked Qiao Zhao and the others, and said loudly, "I am a hunter from Haimen County, and I was ordered to arrest the murderer who killed the mayor of Haimendu. If you don't hold back, you'll be caught!"

   "Haimen County arrests fast?" Chi Can raised his eyebrows, caressed his chest and said, "I'm so scared!"

   The lead officer was obviously stunned after noticing Chi Can, then cleared his throat and said, "Don't be rhetoric!"

   Chi Can withdrew his gaze and said to Yang Houcheng, "Stop talking nonsense to them."

  Yang Houcheng stretched his hand into his arms, took out a token and held it in front of the leading officer, and said coldly, "Open your dog's eyes and see what this is!"

   The edge of the palm-sized token was bordered with a gold border, and the leading officer suddenly widened his eyes and said, "This is—"

   "We are Jin Wuwei. We were ordered to come to Nanhai to run an errand. Now that the errand is done, we're ready to go back. What, your county master wants to stop me?"

   "No, I don't dare..." The lead officer rolled his eyes and smiled, "Since the adults of Jinwuwei have come from afar, please move to the county office, so that our county magistrates can entertain all the distinguished guests."

   He, a small catcher, has never seen the token of Jinwuwei, who knows if it is true or not.

   If it's true, he can't afford to offend him. If it's false, he can't explain why he just let people go, so let the county master get a headache.

   "Entertainment? Is it for your county master to verify the authenticity?" Chi Can asked with a half-smile.

   The leading officer chuckled.

He now somewhat believes that these people are from the capital. As for this young man, he will definitely end up being beaten to death in the blink of an eye, and he will be kidnapped by Japanese pirates if he doesn't look like a cup of tea. How can ordinary people live so well?

   "Let your county master come over to entertain." Shao Mingyuan said at this time.

   The leader was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the speaker.

   The man in front of him was very tall, with a slim black robe lining his vigorous figure, his eyebrows and eyes were as cold as frost and snow, making people dare not meet those dark eyes.

   The leader subconsciously looked away.

   Shao Mingyuan said lightly: "We have a lot of people, so it's not convenient to go there. If your county master is willing, you can come here for a drink."

   The tall and slender man glanced back at the restaurant's name, and said with a light smile, "I've tasted the wine in this restaurant, and it's not bad."

   "This—" The lead officer hesitated for a moment.

   He just ran back and told the county master to come to Haimendu. It would be strange if the county master didn't scold him to death.

   "My lord, I don't know. The restaurant in our county is much better than this kind of small restaurant. It's better to go there for a drink."

  Shao Mingyuan smiled lightly: "If only the restaurant is good, why don't we go back to Beijing to drink? Little brother doesn't know anything, we want to drink in this restaurant, naturally because it has a unique feature."

   "What's unique about it?" The lead officer was stunned, and asked subconsciously.

   What is so unique about such a shabby tavern, why doesn't he know?

   "Haha." Shao Mingyuan chuckled, looking at the leading officer and said meaningfully, "The scenery here is unique, and there are Japanese pirates at any time, let us practice our skills."

   He said these words with a calm expression, but the leading officer froze in his heart.

   Yes, how could he forget that this group of people not only killed the former mayor of Haimendu, but also killed a group of Japanese pirates.

   With the strength of those Japanese pirates—

   The leader shuddered when he almost thought about it.

   Even if he doubled the number of people he brought, he couldn’t beat those Japanese pirates. Wouldn’t it be like playing lanterns in the latrine against these people—seeking death?

   "Little brother?" Shao Mingyuan shouted with a smile.

   The leading officer came back to his senses and said with a dry smile: "Since that's the case, I'll ask you all to wait here for a while, and I'll go and report back to our lord."

   After the lead officer finished speaking, he coughed and ordered: "You two stay for a long time to entertain a few adults, and the rest follow me."

   went out several dozen feet, and one person asked in a low voice: "Boss, we just left like this, leaving only two people, so we're not afraid of them running away?"

   The leading officer raised his hand and slapped the man: "Are you stupid? Those people kill Japanese pirates like chopping cabbage. There is a difference between leaving two and leaving a group of people? It's our luck if we run away!"

   "The remaining Haizi and the others—"

   The leading officer sneered: "Those two who don't open their eyes have long wanted them to have a long memory."

   All the subordinates froze when they heard this.

   The leading official looked around at everyone, and said coldly: "Let's make an agreement. You are not allowed to say a word that should not be said by the county master. Whoever says it will greet him well."

   "Boss, don't worry, we understand, you're not doing it for us."

   A group of officials gradually drifted away.

  Yang Houcheng touched his chin and asked, "Tingquan, do you think the Haimen magistrate will come?"

Shao Mingyuan turned around and walked into the wine shop, returned to the private room and sat down again, and said with a smile: "In all likelihood, there is a chance. Haimendu is the only place we must go when we go to sea. When the incident happened in Jiafeng, I don't believe that Xing Wuyang was not prepared at all. The Haimen county magistrate already knew our identities if he wanted to come."

   "Then why does the official he sent look like he doesn't know anything?"

   "Just to test our attitude, see if we admit it frankly or keep it secret. If you want to know that we will be returning immediately, the Haimen County magistrate is very satisfied with the answer, so he will probably come."

   After Shao Mingyuan finished speaking, he picked up the cold tea and brought it to his lips, just as he was about to drink it, a plain hand reached out and stopped it.
