Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 120 Zhao Min's Persistence
Zhao Min was listless all day, it was almost dusk, but there were no customers in the store today, and he thought that he would get justice by reporting to the police, but after hearing what the shopkeeper and Tao Zhiyi said, Zhao Min Min also felt that the road was slim.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Zhao Min couldn't help sighing, she had been sitting at the door of the inn in a daze all afternoon, she immediately stood up and patted her buttocks, even though there were no guests today, she couldn't let Three people are hungry.

Who would have imagined that when she went to the backyard to light the fire with Tao Zhiyi and was about to cook, she heard the voice of the shopkeeper waiting in front of her: "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Min was startled, and after looking at Tao Zhiyi, he didn't even have time to take off his apron, so he came to the lobby, and saw Tang Shiyuan bringing in a dozen people, and the lobby was full of people standing there for a while.

Zhao Min looked at him with an extremely ugly expression: "What do you want to do?"

Tang Shiyuan saw that the stools and tables in the shop were all repaired, and found a fairly good stool to sit down. A dozen other people stood behind him and stood in two rows. Bluffing does work.

"I heard that you went to report to the police this morning?" Tang Shiyuan's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, "Do you know who I got the news from?"

Zhao Min looked at him gloomyly, and didn't intend to answer his question just now.

Tang Shiyuan didn't really want her to answer, but he raised his legs and patted his boots: "It was the county magistrate who personally informed us."

Zhao Min still stood still in the distance, without saying a word.

Tang Shiyuan looked at the teapot next to him, picked it up, and slammed it on the ground: "Are you dumb?"

Zhao Min was not frightened by his arrogance, but looked very calm: "Master Tang is so exciting today, you don't just want to tell me these things, right?"

"Of course not." Tang Shiyuan got up from the stool, brushed his robe calmly, and said slowly, "Smash it on me."

This time Zhao Min was not as calm as last time, after hearing what he said, his expression changed.

But Tang Shiyuan didn't care about her mood, the dozen or so people under her hands started to smash up after hearing his words.

Zhao Min saw that the already tattered tables and stools were smashed again in an instant, which was worse than last time, and immediately clenched his fists.

Tao Zhiyi looked at the scene in front of him. Although he remembered Zhao Min's teachings, he still couldn't help the anger in his heart, and rushed forward to fight them.

However, Zhao Min grabbed his arm, lowered his head, and did not speak. Tao Zhiyi felt the strength of Zhao Min's hand, and immediately knew that she was also very angry.

When Tang Shiyuan and others smashed the tables and chairs so that they could no longer be used, he walked up to Zhao Min, put down a threatening word, and walked away.

"You go to report to the official! You go again! Young master, I smashed your shop again today!"

After experiencing this farce, it was already dark outside, Zhao Min looked at the mess in the lobby, full of tattered tables and chairs, sniffled immediately, not wanting to show his fragility in front of the two one side.

"Apprentice, pack up quickly, everyone is hungry, I'll cook."

After speaking, Zhao Min went to the back kitchen alone.

Tao Zhiyi wanted to go with him, but the shopkeeper grabbed him and shook his head at him: "Let her stay by herself for a while."

Zhao Min came to the back kitchen alone, and was cutting vegetables on the chopping board, but tears flowed out, and he couldn't help muttering: "This isn't an onion, why are you crying? Really."

When Zhao Min brought out the dishes, he saw that Tao Zhiyi and Hou shopkeeper had already put all the broken tables and chairs outside the inn, but none of them were usable.

Zhao Min held a plate of dishes in his hands, stood there at a loss, finally sighed, put the dishes on the counter first, turned around and went to the backyard to move a small table, and took three small stools to put on the table. In the hall.

When all the dishes were put on the table, it was ironic that there was only this small table in such a large hall.

The three of them ate, but no one spoke. When Zhao Min picked up the plate and walked back after the meal, the shopkeeper sighed behind her: "Don't blame yourself, don't be sad, it's not you s reason."

After hearing his words, Zhao Min paused for a moment, and then went to the back kitchen.

At night, Zhao Min was lying on the bed, thinking about what the shopkeeper said to him today, and he blamed himself more and more.

In her heart, she always thought that it was all her fault. It was because of herself that the Laifu Inn became what it is now. That's why the Yamen was so angry. She wanted to ask for an explanation, but she didn't expect things to turn out Such a situation.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Min got up and went to the yamen while the shopkeeper was still waiting.

Zhao Min couldn't believe it anymore, is there any king in this world!

After making up his mind, Zhao Min came to the gate of the yamen, looked at the drum he had just beaten yesterday, was stunned for a moment, then picked up the drumstick next to him and started beating.

Today is a big market once every five days, so many people got up early and went to the city early to catch the market.

After a while, many spectators gathered in front of the Yamen.

The people in Liangcheng actually have a reputation in their hearts. No matter who has suffered any grievances or disputes, they are usually resolved in private. Who would really expect the county magistrate to help them solve the practical matter?

At this moment, it was very strange to see Zhao Min beating drums so early to express his grievances, and they all stopped to watch.

It was just dawn, and the county magistrate who was sleeping inside was woken up by the sound of drumming at the door.

Immediately, he came out of the door wearing only his underwear. Looking at the guards at the door, he couldn't help being very angry: "Are you all dead? The noise outside is so loud, how can I let my lord sleep?"

The officer and soldier got the order of the county magistrate to go to the gate of the yamen and open the gate to check the situation.

The officer and soldier saw that it was the woman who came to beat the drums yesterday to appeal for grievances, and couldn't help frowning, feeling irritable: "What are you doing? It's so early in the morning, why is it you again?"

Seeing that someone came out, Zhao Min didn't stop his drumming, but said forcefully, "I want to see the county magistrate."

Seeing that she was still beating the drums, the officer stepped forward and wanted to snatch the drumsticks from her hands.

Zhao Min had already sensed his intentions, and turned his gaze to the side street,
Only then did the soldier realize that there were so many people gathered in front of the yamen, and it was not easy to use violence against Zhao Min openly.

The most important thing right now is to disperse the people gathered at the gate of the yamen.

The officer rolled his eyes and greeted Zhao Min: "Come on, come in with me first."

Only then did Zhao Min stop his drumming and followed the officer and soldier in.

After the officer led her to the lobby, he said angrily, "Wait here for a while."

After finishing speaking, the officer called the other two officers and soldiers, one to report the current situation to the county magistrate, and the other to lead the other officers and soldiers to evacuate the people at the gate.
