Chapter 44 Batman, a good friend of the common people
It was already afternoon when the three of them arrived in Wuheng County.
They found a cold noodle stall in the market and sat down. The three of them each ordered a bowl of cold noodles and started eating.
While Zhao Erniu was eating, he looked at the officers and soldiers patrolling the street. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? Why are there so many officers and soldiers patrolling today? From the time we entered the city until now, there have been several teams of officers and soldiers patrolling ”
"You just came from the village, how did you know that the treasure house of Wang Yuan's wife was stolen last night, and now the county magistrate is sending troops to check door to door!" the cold noodle stall owner explained.
The three people's faces immediately stiffened, and they continued to eat noodles with their heads down, not daring to speak.
Everyone in Jiuyang Village picked up money in the morning, and Gu Chan also made up a chivalrous "Batman" to come out. Now combined with the situation in the city, it doesn't make sense.
This chivalrous "Batman" who specializes in robbing riches must have stolen the king's family's treasure house last night!
In this case, how could the three of them dare to talk again?
The boss continued, "That's good! I've seen some good shows in the future. I really hope that this chivalrous man named Batman can teach these people who are unkind and greedy for wealth a lesson, so that he can vent their bad breath for us people."
"Ah? Boss, do you know this chivalrous man?" Zhao Erniu was stunned at first, and then he asked in surprise.
Just now, he was still thinking about whether he should keep it secret and talk nonsense without opening his mouth.
But now that the boss has said it himself, there is definitely no need to keep it a secret anymore.
The boss said angrily, "Why didn't I know? Now it's spread all over the streets and alleys in the city, and even the children are making up children's songs to praise this Batman!"
"Batman! He's so mysterious! He robs the rich and gives to the poor! Common people are good friends."
As he talked, the cold noodle stall owner started singing.
Gu Chan listened to this funny children's song and almost laughed out of the cold noodles she had eaten in her mouth.
Zhao Erniu and Ma Zheng were stunned for a moment, and they admired Batman in their hearts.
Gu Chan remained silent the whole time and began to think secretly.
She made up the name Batman casually in the morning, and Zhao Erniu also told the village chief to tell everyone to keep the money they picked up a secret, but now every household in the city knows this name, which can only prove one point.
That is, someone in Jiuyang Village had a big mouth and leaked the news. After almost a day of spreading, everyone in Wuheng County knew about it.
However, the person who leaked the news was smart. He only revealed Batman's name and did not tell anyone about the money picked up in the yard of Jiuyang Village.
Otherwise, instead of searching the city, these officers and soldiers would go to Jiuyang Village and turn the whole village upside down.
Wanting to understand this, Gu Chan pretended not to know anything, quickly ate up the cold noodles in the bowl, and said to Zhao Erniu and Ma Zheng, "Eat quickly! We still have to go to the county government to pay for the spiritual grass!"
"That's right. It's none of our business. Why are you asking so many questions?" Zhao Erniu hurriedly cleared the air.
Then he hurriedly finished the cold noodles, paid for the three bowls of noodles, and then left with Gu Chan to rush to the county government office.
Not long after, Gu Chan and the others arrived at the gate of the county government office.
Like the county government offices in ancient my country, the county government office in Tiancang Kingdom is also a large house. The county government office plaque is hung on the top of the door. Soldiers stand guard on the left and right sides of the door. There are two large stone lions on the left and right in front of the door. At first glance, one feels very majestic and domineering.
But everyone who is familiar with the situation in Wuheng County knows that the county government may seem domineering, but in fact the county magistrate is quite cowardly. He is usually overpowered by Wang Feihu for a while, and he does not dare to provoke him at will.
Of course, these are none of Gu Chan's business. As soon as the three of them stood at the yamen gate, the soldier standing on the left asked, "What do you do?" "Brother Bingsong, I came from Jiuyang Village to deliver spiritual herbs. Today happens to be This is my first time in three days to deliver spiritual herbs." Gu Chan stepped forward to explain.
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and do it." The soldier shouted coldly, turned around and went into the yamen to do it.
After a while, another soldier followed him out.
This man was the soldier who went to Jiuyang Village to inform Gu Chan of the spiritual grass three days ago. Gu Chan even recognized him as his brother. He also beat up the four of Zhao Erniu that day.
When Gu Chan saw him coming out, she immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Brother, I'm here to deliver the spiritual grass."
"Oh, little brother, you're really here! I thought you and your grandpa would run away!" Bingbing teased with a smile.
"How dare I run away! By the way, brother, you left in a hurry three days ago. I recognize you as a brother, but I still don't know your name!" Gu Chan quickly changed the subject.
The soldier said with a smile on his face, "My name is Xu Qing, just call me Brother Xu."
"Okay, Brother Xu." Gu Chan nodded and shouted sweetly.
Xu Qing reached out and touched her head, as if he doted on her, and then he turned his head and glared at Zhao Erniu, "Have you bullied my little brother in the past three days?"
"Brother, how dare I! I'm so kind to her, you see, I even sent her here myself!" Zhao Erniu hurriedly smiled to show his kindness, for fear of being beaten again.
Xu Qing rolled his eyes at him, "Okay, come in with me!"
"Thank you, Brother Xu." Gu Chan politely thanked him.
Xu Qing waved his hand nonchalantly and immediately led the three of them into the county government office.
The county government office was quite big. Gu Chan and the other three followed Xu Qing and walked inside for a while before arriving at the gate of the back garden.
Without rushing in, Xu Qing stopped, looked at Gu Chan and reminded in a low voice, "Remember, be careful what you say when you go in later. Our county magistrate has a rather violent temper and will often hit people if he disagrees with you, so you guys Be sure to pay attention.”
"Then what are his usual hobbies?" Gu Chan asked.
"Well...it's not convenient for me to say it. Just go in and take a look for yourselves." Xu Qing became hesitant to speak but stopped talking.
The three of them, Gu Chan, looked at me and I looked at you, all looking confused.
It’s just a hobby, what can’t you say?
Is it possible that the county magistrate’s hobbies are shameful?
That's what Gu Chan was thinking at the moment, but of course she didn't dare to say it out loud. Instead, she said insinuatingly, "Brother Xu, it seems that it's not easy for you to work in this yamen!"
"That's not the case, hey! I can't help it, I just have to eat for a living." Xu Qing sighed with a bitter look on his face.
When Gu Chan and the others saw his appearance, their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
"Okay, stop talking and let's go! I'll take you in." Xu Qing calmed down and walked into the back garden gate first.
Gu Chan and the other three followed him in fearfully.
