Chapter 11 Government Office
"I just saved you, right?"
Wang Le looked straight into Zhan Peng's eyes and said very seriously.
"Uh, that's right, thanks to your actions, otherwise I'll be in danger of being in trouble this trip."
Zhan Peng didn't know why Wang Le changed his attitude, but he was very willing to see this change.
"It's good to admit it, now it's your turn to repay you!"
Wang Le's words were as straight and sharp as his knife.
Zhan Peng was stunned. This was the first time he encountered this situation. Not to mention the roundaboutness between scholars, even those illiterate guys wouldn't ask for a reward so directly, right?
Shouldn’t you be close first, contact your relationship, and then express your requirements without any trace?
"Brother...you...what do you want to do?"
Zhan Peng became a little stuttered because of his surprise.
"I used to learn art in the mountain, but now I'm going down the mountain and there's nowhere to go. I'm almost here to Xuanhua Mansion. You have something to do with the chief clerk. Can you ask him to arrange an errand for me?"
Wang Le expressed his purpose.
He naturally understood the worldly ways, but that was too troublesome. Instead of establishing a long-term and stable relationship with others, it would be better to just turn it into a transaction.
I will save your life, and you will help me once, and everyone will not owe each other.
Zhan Peng also reacted to Wang Le's thoughts and felt a little angry. He was a scholar after all. Although he was just a child's fame, it was already an amazing thing to be able to read these days.
"Since you said that, I will naturally help you. But the yamen is nothing compared to other things. This time someone came here, and the family gave me benefits earlier. If you want to eat the rice in the government office, you may have to come out."
"What do you want?"
"Real gold and silver."
“How much do you want?”
"It depends on what you want to do."
"I can punch and kick."
"Then you can be a constable, about thirty taels of silver."
Wang Le had a lot of money on him, so he agreed very happily.
Seeing this, Zhan Peng didn't continue to say anything, so the two set off together.
The self-esteem of scholars does not allow him to do such humble actions, so the journey close to Xuanhua Mansion seems very dull.
Wang Le didn't think anything. He didn't like it and didn't want to talk to strangers.
After experiencing so many things, what has changed is not only the environment, but also himself.
Whether it is the perspective of thinking about problems or the personality exposed outside, it is as simple and direct as Wang Le and the knife in his hand.
What he is most interested in and wants to do now is to keep getting stronger. The strength can fill the void in his heart and at the same time relieve that loneliness.
When you come to this strange world, danger is secondly, and the most important thing is the feeling of being confused when you look around.
With the goal, Wang Le can become firm and the sword he swung faster.
It has nothing to do with good or evil, he just wants to move forward.
In the afternoon, the two finally arrived at Xuanhua Prefecture City.
Because Wang Le had just crossed over, he had been on the mountain. The most profound impression of the ancient city in his mind was still in the projection world.
Compared with Tianjianmen, Xuanhua Prefecture is undoubtedly much more prosperous and lively.
When they paid the entry fee and stood on the street, they saw an extremely lively scene.
People come and go, and all kinds of hawking sounds are endless. Especially next to the streets, those seemingly messy but orderly commodity shops are dazzling.
It was obviously the first time Zhan Peng came here, and his eyes were almost gone. But he realized that as a scholar, he should pay attention to his appearance, so he was stern and looked like he had seen the world.
Wang Le was really calm. He just glanced at the surroundings and did not continue to pay attention, "Can you go and find your chief uncle now?"
Zhan Peng cleared his throat, "He should be still working as a job now, so it's not good to go directly to go there. Let's eat something casually. When it's late, we will go directly to my uncle's house. What do you think?"
"Can."
Wang Le nodded, "What do you want to eat?"
"It's fine, it's fine."
Zhan Peng reached out and touched his waist, looking around, "It's just filling your stomach, I just want to thank you Brother Wang for your life-saving kindness."
Wang Le didn't say anything, he didn't want to waste his energy on such trivial matters.
The two wandered around the street for a while and finally found a small restaurant.
The wooden sign hanging outside is already covered with traces left by time, and it looks like it has been a bit old.
Perhaps it was because the meal time was not yet reached, there were not many guests inside, and only a middle-aged couple were busy.
"Are there two guests? What should I eat?"
The boss lady came over with a smile, because she looked very old because of overwork.
"Two, just have some stuff to fill your stomach, you can watch it."
Zhan Peng found a seat to sit down, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip of comfort.
Wang Le sat opposite him, but his eyes were on the surrounding streets because he saw many men wearing systems patrolling vigilantly.
This is just on the surface, and there are some good-skilled people watching in secret.
Not only the small restaurant, Wang Le has noticed before. When he walked from the city gate, there were these people on many streets.
Is martial law in the palace?
After waiting for a while, the food was brought up. He suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper, is there something happening here? Why are so many people patrolling?"
"Did the guest come from another place?"
The boss's wife smiled on her dark face, but it quickly disappeared, "What happened. Something happened. A while ago, a thief broke out in the city. Many masters lost their things. Yesterday, people died, which caused panic for a while, so this is what they look like now.
But I heard that the governor has invited the six doors of the arresting arrest, and I guess the case will be solved soon."
Wang Le nodded and did not continue to pay attention.
Zhan Peng was thinking about what he was thinking. He didn't know what he was thinking.
When the two finished their meals and walked around the streets, they rushed to the clerk's house at about dusk.
"Don't talk nonsense later, I'll do the things for you."
Zhan Peng reminded him worriedly.
Wang Le nodded and signaled to know.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he finally stopped in front of a house.
Although the chief clerk is not an official, he has a lot of money, which can be seen from where he lives.
After Zhan Peng knocked on the door, he and the concierge revealed their identity, and the two were welcomed in.
It happened that his uncle had just returned and was resting in the study.
Wang Le did not follow him, but was arranged to wait in the lobby.
The servant brought some snacks and tea, and stood aside, staring at him, as if he was guarding for thieves.
If you change someone, it will definitely be embarrassing.
