Chapter 165 Going Home (Part 8)

"Go, go begging elsewhere, don't block the door and get in the way!"

A guy in a green hat stood in front of the restaurant. He saw a group of ragged and dirty beggars coming, and rushed up like a distorted heel and horned his face.

Originally, according to some laws and traditions of the Song Dynasty, when you encounter beggars, you have to give up some food and drink money. However, it would be fine if you came one or two, and the guy might not be so nervous. But now there are a large group of people who are very good at this night. Even if the restaurant is a big business, you can't stand begging like this. This is the rhythm of eating the restaurant.

"Brother, we are not begging for money. I am Zhao Dalang from Maowan Village. I was kidnapped at noon today and just escaped. Can you help me hire a carriage to take us back to Maowan Village? Don't worry, I will give you money after delivery..."

"Are you really Zhao Dalang from Maowan Village?" The guy felt a little lost when he was arched by a big wild boar.

"good!"

"Wow, hahahahaha..." The guy was stunned for a long time and suddenly came to his senses. He rushed up and hugged Zhao Qi tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Then he shouted at the top of his throat: "Come on, I'll catch Zhao Dalang from Maowan Village!"

Zhao Qi:...

"Zhao Dalang?"

“Where is it?”

As soon as the guy's roar fell, a group of people rushed out of the restaurant. Some people were holding chopsticks and holding wine glasses, obviously eating and drinking.

"Haha, hurry up and help me catch it and don't let him run away. I'll get a hundred taels of silver!" The guy could see his little tongue swaying excitedly in his throat.

"Are you really Zhao Dalang from Maowan Village?" A middle-aged man with a big belly and a square hat excitedly threw down his wine glass and ran up.

"If you want to change it!" Zhao Qi smiled and nodded.

"Hahahahaha, hurry up, drive my carriage over, I want to send Zhao Dalang home in person!" The middle-aged man grabbed Zhao Qi's arm and dragged it away.

"Hey, wait, I found Zhao Dalang first!" The guy still hugged Zhao Qi tightly and refused to let go.

"You just want that one hundred taels of silver, I'll give it to you now!" The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper from his arms and stuffed it into the clerk's hand. When the clerk saw that it was a one hundred taels of silver club, he almost fainted happily.

"Brother Zheng, wait, Zhao Dalang came to my restaurant for help. How could you let you get this cheap and do favors? Is there no carriage in the restaurant in Xie's house?" Amid the noise, a man in the gorgeous clothes strode out and shouted at the middle-aged man.

"Who doesn't have a carriage? Come here, I'll drive my carriage over!" An old man in a gorgeous costume waved loudly and asked his servant to lead the carriage over.

So in the blink of an eye, five or six taels of carriages surrounded Zhao Qi and a group of people in the middle, and several wealthy rich men rushed to invite Zhao Qi to his carriage.

"Everyone, thank you for your kindness. I was caught by a strong man today and finally escaped. The children around me are my life-saving benefactors. I just want to find a few carriages to send us back to Maowan Village. I'm sorry to disturb you all the banquet..."

"Hey, Dalang said this and met. He was all in Yanggong Town. Meeting was fate. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry. If I didn't happen to have a meal, I wouldn't meet you. Since you were going to hire a car, I don't have to hire you now. I'll get a few cars to take you back. What do you think?" A man wearing a round neckline, soap robe and a square scarf, said loudly.

"Zhou Ai Shi said it well. It is better to meet him by chance than to invite him. Since we meet Zhao Dalang for good luck, how can we not give him away? It's just a way to go. Are you right?"

"Yes, I'm already full of food and drinks, so I'll take Zhao Dalang home along the way. Dalang doesn't have to be restrained, take my car!" The fat man who rushed out at the beginning tried hard to push Zhao Qi into his carriage while talking.

"Come on, don't be polite, the remaining carriages are attracted by that one in the car!" Zhou Aishi said with a smile to a group of children.

The girl looked at Zhao Qi with some fear. She had never experienced such a scene. As for the other groups of children, they were even more scared and they all hid behind the girl and dared not speak.

"You all get in the car and take a seat. I will thank these people for their warmth to send you tomorrow!"

Zhao Qi poked his head out of the car window with a lot of laughter and tears to comfort him. The girl and the children became a little bolder. With the help of the groom and a group of servants, they climbed up several carriages. After a while, several carriages that were usually sent out in the restaurant, and a group of drinkers also got on the carriages. Then, more than ten cars were hanging with lanterns and headed towards Yanggong Town along the dock.

"Hey, what happened? It's so late and there are so many carriages going to town?"

More than a dozen carriages were chatting and laughing loudly along the way, which immediately surprised the people on the boats on the docks. Therefore, some people came out to stop the carriage and asked for details. After learning that Zhao Dalang from Maowan Village, who was kidnapped today, came back, more people joined in the fun. Many people stopped drinking and the girls stopped fucking. They threw the dishes and chopsticks, picked up their pants, and rode a horse and took a car to say hello to Zhao Qi.

If it were said that even if Zhao Qi appeared a few days ago, most of them would go as far as they could, and they would not want to have a relationship with Zhao Qi at all.

The Lu family's secret suppression of Xiaolongwan Port caused a panic, and almost everyone did not want to be involved with Xiaolongwan. Not to mention the Lu family's property and status in the business world, Ding Daquan alone behind it was enough to make everyone give up this opportunity to make money.

You can make money anywhere, and you won’t die if you don’t make money in Xiaolongwan. However, if you offend the Lu family and Ding Daquan, you may really be able to lose your family and die without a place to bury them.

But this situation was completely reversed in just half a day today.

Wu Qian suddenly ran around and expressed his high profile that he was very optimistic about Xiaolongwan Harbor. Moreover, due to the disappearance of Zhao Qi and A Lian, Wu Qian was furious. He asked his aides to take officers and soldiers to the Lu family to ask for people without any hesitation. He also arrested Lu Guangping, the second young master of the Lu family, directly into the port police room and detained them waiting for investigation and conviction.

As the saying goes, county officials are worse than to be in charge. As the leader of Qingyuan Prefecture, Wu Qian suppressed the Lu family so high-profilely that everyone felt that the wind direction had completely changed.

Not only was Wu Qian the Duke of the State, but he was also a first-rank official of the dynasty. Not only did he have a deep foundation in the court, but he was also very respected by the people in the Qingyuan Prefecture. Moreover, Wu Qian was not only the prefect of the Qingyuan Prefecture, but he also had another even more awesome identity, that is, the coastal commander, which is military power, which can command all the military forces of the entire Qingyuan Prefecture, including the wing army, the navy army, the village tyrant, the civilians, etc. The Lu family wanted to rely on Ding Daquan, a fool-headed backer to fight against Wu Qian, which was simply an old birthday star, and he thought his life was too long.

Wu Qian obviously did not intend to give the Lu family this face. He pressed the Lu family to the ground and rubbed it hard, and it was bleeding. The Lu family had to kowtow and admit defeat like a grandson. Lu Yuntai went to Xiaolongwan Port in person to admit his mistake to Wu Qian, and to Manager Liu, Yang Dayuan and others. Finally, he tore up the wedding letter written by his son. All signs indicate that the direction of the panic wind in Xiaolongwan Port in recent days has completely changed.

This afternoon, hundreds of businessmen rushed to Xiaolongwan Harbor to buy land and property.

This also means that the Lu family has completely kicked the ball this time.

From beginning to end, no one expected that Xiaolongwan Harbor would quietly embrace Wu Qian's thighs.

At night, a group of businessmen who were originally relatively down-and-out gathered in the wilderness at the southernmost end of Yanggong Town Harbor to drink and chat. Unexpectedly, they would meet Zhao Qi who escaped.

It's completely like picking up treasures.

Now Xiaolongwan Harbor is already very popular, and its future prospects are brilliant. Although pleased Zhao Qi at the moment, it is suspected of changing the situation, but when you are doing business, you will not give up this opportunity to make a fortune. At the same time, please please Zhao Qi indirectly. Maybe you will take on the official path of Wu Qian because of Zhao Qi, so that your business will be smoother in the future.

With the crowds of people, the team grew stronger and stronger. When they reached the most prosperous position in the center of the dock, the team of horse and carriages had expanded to more than 30, with more people riding horses and hundreds of people walking and sitting in sedan chairs behind them, including many officials from many yamen on the harbor.

Many of these officials were originally close to the Lu family, and have been going to Xiaolongwan to find trouble for Zhao Qi and others these days. Although most of them were bombarded by Zhao Qi and other security guards because of their bad attitude, the Liangzi who was involved in the injury had already formed. If Wu Qian did not come forward, this harassment would continue in the future until the disaster in Xiaolongwan Harbor was ruined.

But at present, these small yamen officials have to bow their heads to curry favor with Zhao Qi.

This matter happened one after another, and no one could offend Xiaolongwan Harbor after Qingyuan Prefecture.

"Take tread..."

In the night, several fast horses rushed into Maowan Village with lanterns and headed straight for the broken kiln at Zhao Qi's house.

Zhao Qi arrived at the prosperous location in the central part of the harbor. There were already many people who had arranged inquiries here. After receiving the news that Zhao Qi had returned, someone could not wait to come to Maowan Village to report the good news.

At this time, there were still sorrowful clouds and fogs in the broken kiln in Zhao Qi's house.

Although it was already late at night, none of the family members had sex yet to sleep. After being hit, the bedridden old lady Su had someone help him out and lie on a bamboo recliner and sleep outside the broken kiln. Xiao Zhu Baoer and A Lian were waiting beside him and crying, with red and swollen eyes. Except for a group of women and children in the village, Yang Dayuan, Yang Dahu, Ermao, Ermao, Liu Taiye and other groups did not go home to sleep. They were all waiting helplessly in the open space. However, from the beginning of sunset to the present, less and less news came, and the news gradually disappeared.

Almost everyone knows that the hope of finding Zhao Qi is zero today.

But there was a last trace of hope left.

Hopefully there will be a miracle.

"Listen, A horse is here!"

In the night, the sound of horse hooves kicking and stomping from far to near, and then gradually became clear.

Everyone was immediately energetic and stood up from their chairs or on the ground to visit them.

"Brother Dayuan, good news, Brother Qi is back!" Before a few fast horses arrived, a loud roar came from the night.

"Hahaha, Brother Qi is back!"

This loud roar was like a heart-boosting injection, which completely broke the dull situation in front of the broken kiln, and almost everyone cheered happily.

"Grandma, the young master is back!" Xiaozhu shook Old Mrs. Su hard and cried.

Tears flowed down from Old Mrs. Su's turbid eyes, supporting her to sit up and pick up her crutch.

"Grandma, hurry up!" Two young women next to her quickly helped Old Lady Su up.

A Lian, who had been kneeling beside him, also burst into tears in his eyes, and he lay on the recliner and cried loudly.

"Why are you crying? Get up? Qi'er is a lucky person. I guess he will come back tonight. Don't cry anymore. Get up to welcome our men!" Old Mrs. Su was extremely energetic, and pulled A Lian, who was so angry that she was crying, pulled him from the ground.

"Oh, Brother Qi is back!"

At the distance at the entrance of the village, I saw a scattered lights floating like nebula. Accompanied by the cheers of children and various runs and laughter from the night wind, hundreds of carriages gathered into a long dragon of lights, which looked particularly clear in the night.

This situation has almost never happened in Yanggong Town.

At this time, the carriage that Zhao Qi was riding was no longer a group of little beggars, but a group of well-known figures in Yanggong Town and the port. If any of these figures were taken out, they would be rich people with a net worth of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or even millions. But now, they just want to take the opportunity to send Zhao Qi home and get it.

The huge convoy passed through most of Maowan Village. The dogs who usually barked happily when they saw people were all quiet today, all hiding in the room with their tails stomping and dared not come out.

Finally, the convoy slowly stopped on both sides of the road not far from the cave. Several of the carriages passed through the convoy crowd and slowly drove into the open space in front of the broken kiln. The curtains were lifted, and Zhao Qi got off the carriage with a tired smile on his face.

"Yew~~" Ermazi, Ermao Daniu Donggua and others rushed forward, lifted Zhao Qi up and threw it high into the air.

"Damn, I damn, I'm holding it firmly... I'm holding it firmly..." Zhao Qi made a sound of howling ghosts and wolves in the ups and downs.

“Hahahaha~”

In front of the broken kiln, a happy and enthusiastic laughter broke out instantly.
