After Lu An said this, he immediately looked at Lao Yao's head, but his eyes were not relaxed at all. Lao Yao's head couldn't help but tremble when he saw it.

"The hush money is just a name blocked? You haven't heard of this name, why do you think it's worth it?" Lu An continued to ask.

Old Yao was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition to finding this person, they also want to find a few people. They want these people to take them to a place." Speaking of this, they carefully stretched their heads over again, showing a strange smile.

Xiao Luochen scratched his forehead and asked with an unhappy look: "Uncle Yao, can you finish this in one breath and stop talking, just like a storyteller, why do you expect us to continue to support you?"

Lao Yao smiled, immediately put away his body, and coughed lightly, "Then I won't keep it a secret. They want to find a few powerful people and send them to the big man."

"Big Han? Are they from the big Han people, or do they want to go to the big Han?" Lu An asked.

Old Yao thought for a while, "I probably want to go to the big man. Then Wei Xuan might be the same as them before, and he probably got separated. I think this is the case."

Lu An nodded, agreeing with what Lao Yao said, but he was still a little confused. The Grand Zhou Yulin Guard's deputy general is doing so miserably now? Are they all starting to escort people?

Thinking of this, he sighed inexplicably. Lu An still has a good impression of Wei Xuan. Although he was not a member of the same place, the other party was still very principled. In addition to leaking his whereabouts to Liang Liang, he should have a good chat with him about this matter. Lu An touched the scar on his chest, and he almost died that time!

"Then are they leaving now?" Xiao Luochen suddenly asked. If they hadn't left yet, they would seem a bit unauthentic to gossip behind others.

Lao Yao said affirmatively: "It must not be there yet. I came last night and said I was looking for someone. It was not so fast, at least tomorrow."

"Who did you introduce to them?" Lu An suddenly looked at Lao Yao's head and laughed. He had already figured out the so-called masters in Huashui Town. There were only a few more powerful men in the town. There were only a few who really practiced martial arts. It was undoubtedly a fool to rely on these people to go to the big man. It would take at least several months to start from here to the big man. What might happen along the way? This is not something that those people can eat and eat.

But now thinking about it, if the two of them really wanted to go to the big man, it would be impossible to find any guards here. It was just a small Huashui Town, and the other party must also know it, but since they still did this, there must be a reason.

In addition to cannon fodder and scapegoat, Lu An really couldn't think of another possibility.

"Uncle Yao, tell me the truth, who did you introduce to them?" Lu An asked seriously.

Old Yao suddenly stammered, "Isn't it good to say it? You know what you want to do?"

Lu An sneered twice, "What are you doing? Of course, it's saving his life!"

Although Lao Yao was shocked, he said calmly: "Isn't it just sending them to the big man? It's so serious. Although the distance is a bit long, it's not a big deal. You can just follow the caravan at that time. There is no big problem. Those people I introduced have done too much like this. Don't worry, Xiao Yi, you should talk less about this kind of thing that cuts off people and money. Others must also know the risks."

Hearing him say this, Lu An smiled faintly and nodded. It is also true that cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. Such things are really not possible, and he has already reminded him that it will not be of any benefit to him no matter how much he says. Don't expose yourself at that time, then you will be unlucky. Everything is appropriate, just stop it.

Old Yao smiled and picked up the wine glass to pour a glass of wine for Lu An. In fact, he was still a little scared now. For some reason, he felt that Yi An in front of him was not an ordinary person either.

Although the few words I just said were just ordinary conversations, he always felt a little strange. Yi An was really not like an ordinary person. He dared to say that he could save his life in just two or three sentences. It was the first time he had been dealing with people for so many years.

If ordinary people heard such good things, they would definitely show an admiration. In addition to those who had family members, those who were bachelors would definitely find ways to squeeze in. This is a big deal.

However, Yi An stopped after saying a few words, and a smile appeared on his face, which really made people feel a little confused.

After so many years of restaurants, many people have seen each other. Judging from the ability to recognize people, Lao Yao has reached a certain level, so his attitude towards Yi An in front of him has changed a little.

Who would be the person who could just take out ten taels of silver to buy news? Lao Yaotou actually had some speculation in his mind.

Lu An didn't expect so many things, so he picked up the cup and drank it all in one go, and then continued to ask: "Where is the other table of people? The two who talked dirty words."

Lao Yao said seriously, "These two people have not been here for a long time. They just came at meal time. They looked like oily gangsters. I heard they were looking for people, but they looked casual and it didn't matter whether they could find them or not. I felt that they were here to take advantage of the tolerance fee."

"Are you sure? Just take advantage of the tolerance fee? I just heard some tracking, what prince's name, did you not hear it?" Lu An asked with disbelief.

Lao Yao shook his head repeatedly and said, "I really didn't pay attention to this. I really didn't hear what they said. They asked me where there were fun places here, and then said a few casual words, but didn't reveal anything. Xiaoyi, did you really hear the word "Prince?"

Lu An nodded.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the backend was so big, so I was still two fat sheep!" Old Yao looked annoyed.

Xiao Luochen showed an extremely disdainful expression, "Uncle Yao, everyone in the world says that there is no businessman, but now it seems that this is the opposite. There is no businessman, no businessman."

Lao Yao was not ashamed at all, and even responded with a smile: "Luochen, what you said is in my heart. You scholars have their own way of saints and poetry. Actually, we those who do business also have a business path, but in your opinion, this business path cannot be put on the table. But for us, it is just to pay money and deliver goods in one hand, and each take needs, not to cheat or grab, and equal and voluntary."

When Xiao Luochen heard this, his brows frowned. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. However, his expression on his head who looked at Old Yao had become a little more friendly, and he said slowly: "Uncle Yao, I've been taught."

When Lao Yao heard this, he was so happy that he smiled and took another pot of wine over with a smile, and said arrogantly: "I'll treat this pot, you don't have to pay!"

Lu An smiled and thanked.

Then Xiao Luochen was full of annoyance. He had not even finished a cup yet. The pot he gave had to be in the mouth of others. Who told him to be called Xiao Yigu? He only drank one cup for a meal, and he had to pour it after one cup.

"Uncle Yao, why don't you give me a plate of peanuts? I can't finish drinking this wine, it's a waste." Xiao Luochen blinked at Lao Yao's head.

Old Yao suddenly realized and slapped his forehead, "Yes, it may not be enough to drink it, but waste it is not enough. Fortunately, I will drink it with you, so I will definitely finish it."

Xiao Luochen rolled his eyes directly, while Lu An smiled and handed over the chopsticks.

After a few cups, Lao Yao's face turned red, and his mouth was filled with alcohol. The chopsticks started to move one after another.

Lu An smiled and did not react at all. However, Xiao Luochen couldn't bear it. The speed of removing chopsticks was obviously much faster, for fear that the table of dishes would be eaten by Lao Yao.

Seeing that the food was almost done, Lu An took the lead in putting down his chopsticks.

Lao Yao, who had been staring at Lu An, put down the chopsticks at the right time and burped with satisfaction.

Seeing that the two of them put down their chopsticks, Xiao Luochen moved the chopsticks faster and smiled.

"Uncle Yao, is the business in recent years still OK?" Lu An pointed to the restaurant and said.

Lao Yao turned his head, sighed, and said in a sigh: "Is there anything that can be done? Isn't it just a restaurant? What kind of flower head can you raise so many people, all of whom are from the villagers. You can't make much money and support your family."

Xiao Luochen immediately disagreed and asked directly: "This is also called supporting a family? One meal, six taels of silver? It will take me half a year to spend."

Old Yao smiled and said, "Luo Chen, your future is not here. It's okay to suffer a little now. You will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future. By that time, you will know what these six taels of silver mean to you at that time."

"What does it mean?" Xiao Luochen asked curiously.

"It means...it means nothing!" Lao Yao laughed out loud after saying that.

Xiao Luochen snorted coldly in anger, then picked up the wine glass and pecked it gently. The spicy smell made his whole face twist together, and he didn't continue to pay attention to Lao Yao's head.

But Lao Yao continued to say, "It's not me that I can make a move in this town. I hope there are two more restaurants, so that the pressure can be reduced. You have to know how much pressure my family is. As long as the officials from Huashui Town come to me for dinner and drink, I also ask me to arrange all kinds of messy things for them. These are all troublesome!"

"Don't they give money?" Lu An asked in confusion.

Lao Yao waved his hand, "The money is still given, but it depends on their mood. Look at my back. I was also a man who stood up back then. Since my father left, I entrusted this restaurant to me and gave it to those officials every day. The Bing Master nodded and bowed. For a whole thirty years, I have made my back like this, and I was given the title of Yao Tuozi. What can I do? So don't look at my face and glory, my back is not as glorious as you think. Of course, the money is still a little bit, but what's the use? You still eat steamed buns, drink wine and wear clothes every day, and your life is not as leisurely as Old Man Shui, alas!"

"Then why not turn it off?" Xiao Luochen also put down the chopsticks in his hand at this time.

"It's OK to close it? It's OK to close it, but after it's closed it, there's no Yao-style inn in Huashui Town. Those officials who come here several times a year have to go to other people's houses, but can those servants hold on? In Huashui Town, there's still a Yao-style inn coming out, so I feel at ease to close this inn. Of course, when I can't do it anymore, I have to close it too. Anyway, I won't let my son do it, and he can't do it either." Lao Yao said as he drank another glass of wine.

At this time, Xiao Luochen had no sound and silently looked at the food on the table without moving.

"Has this been so messy?" Lu Anxin said with some emotion.

Lao Yao shook his head, "Crane? Where is Huashui Town chaos? Isn't this very peaceful? Every household can eat and wear warm clothes. Isn't that good? Occasionally, a few talented men like Luo Chen can produce, isn't it great?"

"But what you said before? Huashui Town is such a small town, and you can't tell me what you can do. It's like eating, drinking, having fun. What are those officials doing?" Lu An asked in confusion.

To be honest, Lu An is not so clear about the lifestyles of these ordinary people. He used to be young and had no impression of it. After he grew up, he either lived in a military camp or a craftsman city, and had never lived in such a place, so he really didn't understand it.

Lao Yao looked at Lu An and laughed: "Xiao Yi, you have only been here for a year. Although I don't know what you did before, I know that the circle you lived in before is definitely different from ours, so it is normal for you not to know that those people come here to collect taxes. You have to come a few trips a year. Although there is a mayor in our Huashui Town, although there is a mayor, he is old and can't control anything, let alone talk. He can only fight for us more and try to pay less taxes. However, I feel that those people come to collect taxes is secondary, and eating and drinking is the most important thing."

"Tax?" Lu An looked puzzled.

Lao Yao saw that Lu An was indeed not clear about this, and explained a few words, "If we do business, we have to pay a lot of taxes. Ordinary families also have to pay. Huashui Town has more than a thousand households of all sizes. On average, each household charges one or two taels. Isn't it a thousand taels? But one thousand taels is not a small amount for Huashui Town, and ordinary people can't afford this money, so it will naturally fall on the old mayor and us, especially me, who earns a lot and spreads a lot."

Xiao Luochen looked surprised, "Really? Uncle Yao, are you so generous?"

Lao Yao suddenly glared at the eyes and cursed: "You little boy, if your father is still there, in terms of seniority, you have to call me a cousin!"

Xiao Luochen scratched his head and immediately did not dare to say more.

"Huashui Town is so big, moving forward for two generations. These people in the town are all related to their relationship. There are not many outsiders like Xiaoyi, and they can't come two a year. So, they used to help me build a restaurant for free, but now I naturally should take on this burden. Although I also know that they may not have a good impression of me, at least they didn't make any trouble. Just like this kid, he still called me Uncle Yao when he met. No, you have to change your words in the future!" Old Yao said slowly.

From his tone, Lu An heard an extremely sincere tone, which probably wasn't just talking casually, which made Lu An a little awe-inspiring. Just by the word Yao Tuozi, you can see that he has indeed done a lot for this town.

Lu An clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Yao, admire him!"

Lao Yao waved his hand, "I'm old and I don't know what will happen next. I heard from the people above that there is a war outside, and it may be spread here at any time. At that time, I shouldn't be able to get my old bone sword, so I guess I can only get a kitchen knife, haha."

Although this is said with a smile, it makes people feel particularly uncomfortable when they hear it.

Maybe it’s the so-called hero’s old age. Although Lao Yao is not considered a hero, for this Huashui Town, he can be considered half of it.

After eating this meal, Xiao Luochen's attitude towards Lao Yao changed a lot, because these things he didn't know were actually mixed with so many entanglements.

And the hunchbacked and stingy old man in front of him did so many things secretly for Huashui Town.

"Uncle Yao, if someone says bad things about you in the future, I will help you choke them!" Xiao Luochen was silent for a long time, and suddenly said something happened.

It made Lao Yao laugh and cry, "What a mess, what a mess, what a choke, isn't it good now? You should just read books and practice calligraphy honestly, strive to get a good reputation, and then become a high-ranking official. When it's your control, we will be no longer afraid of anything."

Xiao Luochen thought about it and it seemed that it was the same.

Lu An smiled slightly and praised: "Uncle Yao, it is really a blessing that Huashui Town can have someone like you who takes the lead."

Lao Yao waved his hand and said, "What a blessing or not. To put it bluntly, this is a small place. The so-called poor mountains and rivers are out of troublemakers. It's just that I, Lao Li, just got some money again. No matter how mean it, I can't be fooled by others. I can only do some small things in reverse and pay off the debt."

Lu An nodded and said in admiration: "Uncle Yao's words are reasonable."

Then he picked up the wine glass and toasted him with a glass of wine.

Lao Yao held the wine glass in both hands, stood up and bent down, moved the cup down, gently touched Lu An, and then drank it all in one go.

Seeing this bent down, Lu An felt a little more emotion in his heart, and then he drank it all in one go.

Lao Yao patted his stomach with satisfaction, "Eat and drink enough. I have to thank Xiao Dacai for treating him this time, haha."

Xiao Luochen looked at the remaining half glass of wine in his glass, hesitated for a moment, then his expression became serious, picked up the wine glass and drank it clean. However, after drinking, his face instantly turned red, his head shaking, and then he slowly lay on the table.

Lu An sighed softly, "Uncle Yao, now I want to ask you some things."

Hearing this, Old Yao nodded without any surprise, "Xiao Yi asked casually, I will definitely tell you what I can say."
