After a long time, the deputy censor of the capital held Zhao Jin's cold hand and said warmly to him: "Old senior, why don't you thank Beibei?"
"Ah, yes" Zhao Jin woke up from a dream and hurriedly knelt down in the direction of the capital and kowtowed heavily: "My lord Zhao Jin, I thank you for your generosity and your majesty's kindness! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
After Zhao Jin finished thanking him, the deputy capital censor helped him up again and said with a friendly face: "When the senior asked for orders for the people, the junior was still watching the government in the six departments. At that time, I admired the senior's character. Therefore, this good news As soon as he arrived, the juniors rushed to congratulate the seniors."
"Uh, okay, thank you, sir." Zhao Jin seemed to be in a dream, and he was completely confused.
Zhao Hao appeared beside him out of nowhere and asked Fang De to bring out a plate of broken silver as a reward for his entourage. He also bowed to the deputy censor of the capital and invited him into the shop to have tea and rest.
"Who is this?" The deputy censor looked at the young man and thought he was Zhao Jin's nephew, so he was very polite.
"This is my brother-in-law." Only then did Zhao Jin come back to his senses, holding Zhao Hao's hand and introducing him: "Thanks to the care of my brother-in-law and the neighbors over the years, the old man has been able to survive today."
"It turns out that it's ZhaoXiandi." The deputy censor felt awkward, but he still treated Zhao Hao as equals.
After thinking about it, the same clan and his uncle are smaller than the nephew, which is nothing. He then asked with a smile: "It seems that the restaurant is opening today. Why did I just hear Chang Sui say that there seems to be trouble here?"
¡°Otherwise, his followers would not have fired the Jingjie Cannon.
"Yes, there is an official bullying our brothers. He comes to ask for one hundred taels of tea money, otherwise he will not be allowed to open." Zhao Hao smiled and glanced at Li Jiutian who was about to faint and said: "No, my brother argued with him, he He actually scolded my brother for being a traitor to the army, and even wanted to beat him"
"What!?" The deputy censor suddenly changed his expression, pointed at Li Jiutian who was lying on the ground like mud, and shouted: "Sure enough, the foot office of the carriage shop deserves to be killed if he is not guilty! He actually dares to insult and beat the imperial official! Come on! Man, stand up for me and slap your mouth!"
The followers with swords hanging on their waists rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and picked up Li Jiutian, who was begging for mercy.
Then someone put on a thick leather glove, waved his hand, and slapped Li Jiutian on the face.
"Oh, ah"
As Li Jiutian screamed, his mouth and cheeks turned purple, and after a few more blows, his mouth and nose began to bleed.
After slapping him, the deputy censor of the capital ordered the chief to follow him: "With my official title, I will send this dog to the county government to kill him. Please ask the county to punish him severely!"
"Yes!" The commander waved his hand casually and asked his men to drag Li Jiutian, who was like a dead dog, and follow him towards the Shangyuan County Yamen.
As for the gang of white servants, they had naturally dispersed long ago, but no one would accompany Li Jiutian in his misfortune.

After cleaning up Li Jiutian, Zhao Hao once again invited Mr. Xie into the store to have tea. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie cupped his hand and said, "Brother Yu is busy with official duties. Please excuse me some other time."
He patted his forehead again, smiled at Zhao Jin and said, "I almost forgot about business."
"As he spoke, he waved his hand, and two officials brought out a complete set of official uniforms including neatly folded official robes, black gauze, official boots and leather belts.
"Tomorrow happens to be the first day of the first yamen appointment. When the seniors answer their questions, Mr. General Xian will personally issue the petition." Mr. Xie solemnly handed the official uniform to Zhao Jin's hand. After saying that, he said goodbye and got into the sedan chair without even drinking a cup of tea. , let alone eating.
"Isn't this a bit rude?" Chief Yu Jia asked Zhao Jindao as he looked at the sedan chair going away.
"It's always like this for censors." Zhao Jin stroked the blue official robe in his arms and replied with a smile: "From now on, you can't just invite me to dinner."
"It's not against the law to enter your own restaurant, right?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
"We still have to avoid suspicion." Zhao Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Isn't this store open yet?" Zhao Hao pulled Zhao Jin into the store and said with a smile, "I am the younger brother celebrating my brother's recovery. Isn't the head office okay now?"
"That's okay" Zhao Jin followed him into the store.
I heard Zhao Hao say to all the villagers: "Everyone, please come in together. Today is a double happiness. I'll treat you all to a drink!"
The neighbors happily poured into the restaurant, and soon it was full.
Today, Zhao Hao originally planned to invite the villagers to have a meal at the restaurant as a preview for tomorrow's business. After all, there are more than a dozen people in the restaurant. If they don't get along well in advance, they will definitely be in a hurry tomorrow.
Soon, the guys brought up the cold dishes that had been prepared on large wooden trays.
In the back kitchen, the assistant cook also cooksAfter lighting up the stove and preparing the ingredients, the chef started frying and stewing in full swing!
All dishes are exactly the same as tomorrow¡¯s menu. The only difference is that Zhao Hao's secret 'extremely fresh powder' was not added to today's dish.
But with the chef¡¯s skills and the finest ingredients, the dishes are delicacies in themselves. The neighbors were full of praise for the food, and they all said that they would come here often to take care of business in the future.
Hearing these words, Shopkeeper Fang and others were dumbfounded. If the neighbors knew the boss¡¯s pricing, they would probably slap the table and scold her, right?
"It turns out that the young master is kind-hearted in not letting you add the ingredients." Yu Jiachang leaned against the counter and whispered to Fang De with a smile: "Otherwise, everything they eat will taste tasteless for the rest of their lives."
Fang Deshen nodded in agreement. Seeing the neighbors toasting to brothers Zhao Hao and Zhao Jin, he hurriedly said to Yu Jiachang: "Stop quickly, Mr. Zhao Your Excellency will be waiting for the office tomorrow morning, so you can't be drunk."
It¡¯s even more ridiculous to toast Zhao Hao, he is still a child
??~~
After noon, the neighbors were full of wine and food and left one after another.
Qiao Qiao¡¯s mother and Si Ya took the guys and started to clean up the mess. Shopkeeper Fang, Old Man Gao, and Chief Yu Jia took the time to check and fill in the gaps based on the problems exposed today.
Zhao Hao never paid attention to trivial matters, so he asked Gao Wu to take the drunk Zhao Jin back to stare. He himself was tired for a day and had to catch up on his sleep.
When I woke up from my nap, the sky was filled with red clouds, and Zhao Shouzheng also went home.
It¡¯s not that the Imperial Academy is out early, but that the days are longer and the nights are shorter, so Mr. Zhao finally doesn¡¯t have to walk back and forth covered in stars and moons.
Hearing the good news that Zhao Jinguan was reinstated, Zhao Shouzheng was as happy as if he had become an official himself. He rubbed his hands in the hall excitedly and shouted:
"Qiaoqiao, ask your father to bring a table and a jar of red wine. I want to celebrate my nephew!"
"Father, if you are greedy for wine, just say so." Zhao Hao quickly stopped him and said, "My old brother has to go to the office early tomorrow morning, so he can't drink and get in trouble."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Jin waved his hand and said, "I'm so happy. Brother Yu, please have a drink with your uncle. There's no need to study tonight!"
"That's a good relationship!" Zhao Shouzheng was immediately overjoyed.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Shouzheng inevitably started to complain on behalf of his old nephew.
"The imperial court is so uninteresting. It has wronged the old nephew for so many years and has not given him a promotion to make up for it. It actually made him a seventh-grade censor"
"Well, I am already satisfied with the chance of being re-elected by Enping." Zhao Jin touched his gray hair and sighed: "You are an old man, what else do you expect?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Brother, don't be so pessimistic. I see your fortune is bright, your auspicious stars are shining, and you will be promoted to three levels in a row, just around the corner!"
"Haha, that's good news for brother Chengxian" Zhao Jin only said Zhao Hao was joking, but didn't take it seriously.
As everyone knows, Zhao Hao¡¯s statement is still conservative
