"Mr. Fuzun has been exhausted all the way, so the official specially prepared food and food at the inn to welcome you.

"Are you a local postmaster?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Chen Yuan was a little surprised. It is rare for scholars to be such miscellaneous officials.

Chen Yichi smiled and nodded: That's right, the lower official is the local postmaster and the governor. Let's go in and have a meal?

As he said that, he made a gesture of asking for help.

Chen Yuan didn't think much about it, and took Xiao Taohong and Hu Er to the inn for dinner, leaving Qianniuwei to set up a table in the shed to eat.

The inn is a two-story wooden building, which is used on the first floor to entertain officials and the private rooms on the second floor are specially prepared for officials of grade.

As the governor of Yingzhou and the local parent, Chen Yuan naturally had to use the best Tianzi room.

As soon as everyone sat down, a stinger in an apron walked into the house with cabbage and tofu, and said with a smile.

"Sir, this is a stewed tofu specially prepared for you, not enough to be in the pot."

"Chen Yicheng, your inn is too stingy. My young master is also a fourth-rank official. You can give him cabbage, tofu and radish soup?"

"Have you eaten well in Qingyuan yet?" Xiao Taohong said dissatisfied.

"Yes, do you, the postmaster, still want to do it? How dare you fool the governor with carrots and cabbage!"

Hu Er slapped the table and stood up.

"You both sit down!"

Glazed at the two of them, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Yichi and said lightly: This is the welcome banquet you have prepared for me?

Chen Yichi said with awkward expression: Go back to the palace, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, when a fourth-rank official passes the post station, he can only have four dishes and one soup at most.

What the officials brought to you just happened to be in accordance with the convention.

Chen Yuan took a deep look at Chen Yichi and smiled at Xiao Taohong and Hu Er.

"Forget it, cabbage and tofu are better than eating dry food."

"Let's eat quickly and enter Yingzhou City before dark."

Xiao Taohong snorted angrily, picked up the chopsticks and reluctant to pick up the food. The broken food didn't even have some oil and water, which was harder than pig food.

Chen Yichi stood aside and watched the three of them eat in big mouthfuls. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. If he hadn't known the other party's identity.

He thought these three people were pretending to be by the victims.

During the meal, the door of the next room was knocked open, and several young people were making loud noises, and occasionally the shy voices of women came.

It seems to be drinking and having fun.

Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks and came to the next door, lifted the curtain and took a look inside.

Unsurprisingly, several young men in gorgeous clothes were sitting at the table and drinking.

Everyone was holding a woman with heavy makeup in her arms.

From time to time, I picked up chopsticks and picked up food for several young people.

"What kind of official do they are? Why are there more than twenty dishes on the table?"

"this……"

Chen Yichi hesitated for a moment and whispered: I will not hide it from the Mansion Master, the one sitting in the middle is the son of Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou.

I just passed the scholar this year and I have been condescending to have dinner at our official office.

“Condescend?”

Chen Yuan sneered, "I am a fourth-rank official, but cabbage, tofu and radish soup."

"He, a little scholar, has eaten more than twenty dishes, but he still dares to say he is condescending?"

"Go and get the money back!

"Sir, what did you say?" Chen Yichi's face turned pale because of fear.

Isn’t it that he wants to ask Zhao Wenhui’s son for food?

"Hmph, you have lost all the useless things, Yingzhou's wealth."

"Do not!"

Push Chen Yichi away, Chen Yuan walked into the private room with his hands behind his back.

"A few little brothers have fun?"

The noise came to an abrupt end, and a young man sitting in the middle said unhappily.

"Who are you and who let you in?"

"Don't be upset, my official is the governor of Yingzhou. Seeing that you were drinking, I walked in and said hello."

"How is the food delicious?"

"Are you the new governor of Yingzhou?" The young man's face changed and he sneered.

"The food is OK, what? Could it be that the governor wants to fry two for us with his own hands?"

"Hahaha……"

Several friends laughed.

Amid the laughter, Chen Yuan shook a piece of rice paper: Since the little brothers have finished eating, then pay the meal.

A total of nineteen taels of silver.

As soon as these words came out, the whole elegance was silent for a moment.

The young man pointed at his nose in disbelief.

"You are the governor, but actually asked me to ask for the money for food?"

"Do you know who I am?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "I don't care who you are. If you eat the meal at our Yingzhou Inn, you have to pay."

"I want to pay a loss... Hu Er, show off his muscles!"

"Okay!"

With a click, Hu Er stretched out his clothes and bent his right arm slightly to form a muscle shape.

The young men were so scared that their faces changed slightly. They had never seen such a fierce man before when they grew up so old.

"How is it, have you figured it out?"

"I thought about it... I thought it through clearly. Can we take credit without bringing money?"

The young man stuttered.

"Okay, our business is unsuccessful. As long as you write your name and press a handprint, you can leave."

As he said that, he took out the bill that had been prepared and put it on the table.

Zhao Zhantang picked up the pen with an ugly face, glanced at Chen Yuan, and wrote down his name unwillingly.

Then he threw away the brush and took the man away with his face ashen.

He has never suffered such a great loss when he grows up. When he gets home, he will definitely report to his father, like Li Danian, that he hangs this person on the flagpole.

"Sir, this person is Zhao Wenhui's favorite son."

"Are you not afraid of revenge if you offended him for the 19th tael of meal today?"

Chen Yichi asked worriedly.

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at him, Chen Yuan chuckled.

"Nineteen taels of silver are enough for the official to eat for a year."

"If all the officials who come and go do this, who will fill this hole?"

"Send someone to deliver the bill to Zhao Wenhui's mansion."

"Let him settle his son's meal money."

"I want to take advantage of my official position, but I don't even have any doors."

After saying that, he left the inn with a swagger.

Looking at Chen Yuan's back, Chen Yichi's face changed constantly.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and took the bill to Zhao Wenhui's mansion.

...

Zhao Mansion, lotus pond.

A man wearing a regular dress, thick eyebrows and big eyes sat on a chair, looking at the books in his hand with relish.

"No, not bad, this Water Margin is really interesting."

"The man surnamed Chen knew that there was a big insect on Jingyanggang, but he still dared to drink three big bowls of wine.
