Chapter 173 The General of the Hemp-Clad Guards Blocks the Way in the County City
Lin Feng bought two skewers of candied hawthorn, one for himself and one for Sun Yu.
Hiss, the little gold on his wrist made a soft hissing sound, as if asking Lin Feng to give him a skewer too.
I've never heard of snakes eating candied hawthorn berries.
Lin Feng put his hands behind his back, and Xiao Jin ate one of Lin Feng's candied hawthorns.
Hiss, hiss, hiss, Little Gold's cries grew more frequent, meaning it wanted more.
Don't let Xiao Jin's small size fool you, he's a huge eater.
Lin Feng simply took out one tael of silver and bought all the candied hawthorns from the small vendor.
Lin Feng didn't ask the vendor for change. The vendor was extremely grateful and kept bowing, then left with the silver in his pocket, smiling.
The two of them each carried a large handful of candied hawthorns and walked along the street.
The two had been walking for a while when Sun Yu saw the Zuiyuexuan Restaurant by the roadside and exclaimed, "There's a Zuiyuexuan here too, why don't we go to this one?"
"Okay." Lin Feng replied and led Sun Yu into Zuiyue Pavilion.
Lin Feng directly requested a private room, ordered a large table of dishes, and then closed the door to the private room.
Xiao Jin jumped onto the table with a whoosh and happily ate a string of candied hawthorns one after another.
Sun Yu knew Xiao Jin and was quite curious about him.
"This little thing is a complete glutton; I couldn't afford to raise it even if you gave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin glared at Sun Yu.
Sun Yu was stunned by Xiao Jin's glare, because Xiao Jin's eyes were too human-like, like those of an angry little child.
Lin Feng said with a smile, "Don't say anything bad about Xiao Jin to his face. He can understand what you're saying."
His digestive ability is stronger than you think.
He swallowed you whole; he'll digest you in no time.
Sun Yu's eyes lit up. "Is this little guy a demon beast?"
Lin Feng nodded.
Sun Yu rubbed his hands together and said, "Big brother, does Xiao Jin have any brothers or sisters? Introduce me to some. I'd give up everything I own to raise one."
"Don't get your hopes up. Xiao Jin is an only child."
While Xiao Jin was eating candied hawthorn, Lin Feng and the other person were also drinking tea and eating dishes.
After finishing the candied hawthorn, Xiao Jin joined the two for tea and a meal.
Xiao Jin seemed to be deliberately getting revenge on Sun Yu, as he rubbed all the oil stains off his body onto Sun Yu.
Sun Yu didn't mind at all, and laughed as he let Xiao Jin rub against him, treating Xiao Jin like a child.
"This little guy holds a grudge quite a bit; I'm really growing to like him more and more."
"It's no use liking him; you'll hardly find another Xiao Jin."
“I can wait. When Xiao Jin grows up, I’ll let him find a wife and have a litter of babies. I’ll just take one.”
With a slap, Little Gold lashed its tail into the soup bowl, splashing soup all over Sun Yu.
Sun Yu laughed loudly, "Hahaha, interesting."
Lin Feng hissed, "Little Jin, stop fooling around. Your little brother Sun Yu is just playing around with you."
When Xiao Jin heard that Sun Yu was his younger brother, he felt that he should give way to him and stopped making things difficult for Sun Yu.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Jin obediently wrapped itself around Lin Feng's wrist again, looking like a metal bracelet.
Sun Yu touched his wrist. "I love this little guy so much. I'll try to get one when I get back."
After the meal, the two returned to the headquarters of the Ma Yi Wei in the county town.
The people at the Ma Yiwei headquarters ignored the two of them, except for one person who was in charge of arranging their daily lives, who was quite polite to them.
This person was clearly not well-liked in the Ma Yi Guard of the county town.
Lin Feng and his companion invited him to the courtyard for tea.
It turns out that this person's name is Wang Fusheng, and he is only in his early twenties. He was recruited when the Ma Yi Wei (Ma Yi Guard) was first established in the county.
Wang Fusheng disapproved of the behavior of the Ma Yiwei guards in the county town and was ashamed to associate with them, so he was gradually isolated.
He was even fined, receiving only ten taels of silver per month.
Wang Fusheng had heard of Lin Feng's deeds and greatly admired him. He even wanted to be transferred to Qinghe County, but Juncheng's Ma Yiwei general did not allow it.
Lin Feng learned a great deal about the evil deeds of the Ma Yi Wei in the county town from Wang Fusheng.
The primary purpose of establishing the Ma Yi Wei was to address local corruption, but in the end, the corruption in many places was not addressed, and the Ma Yi Wei itself became corrupt.
After chatting for a while, Lin Feng and his companion began packing their things.
Wang Fusheng asked, "What are you two doing?"
Sun Yu slung his bag over his shoulder and said, "We're not used to living here, so we're planning to move out."
Wang Fusheng then asked, "Is there anything I've done wrong in taking care of you?"
Sun Yu patted Wang Fusheng on the shoulder, "It has nothing to do with you. Everyone else here except you doesn't like us, and we don't like them either."
Lin Feng also shouldered his pack and walked out. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Fusheng and said, "Brother Wang, until we meet again."
Seeing that the two were determined to leave, Wang Fusheng stopped trying to stop them and helped them lead their warhorses out.
The two men, carrying bundles and leading their warhorses, headed out of the Ma Yi Guard area.
At this moment, the general of the Ma Yi Guard in the prefectural city, along with the generals of the Ma Yi Guard from various counties, returned after drinking.
A group of people blocked Lin Feng and his companion's path.
