Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

As soon as Bai Jingting arrived at the restaurant, he saw Chu Pengqing, who was wearing yesterday's long robe, waiting at the door of the restaurant.

"Bai's family!" Because of the hangover, Chu Pengqing looked a little ugly, and greeted Bai Jingting gloomyly.

"vomit~"

As soon as he got closer, a bad smell mixed with bad-quality hot pot powder came over his face. Thinking about what happened yesterday, Bai Jingting suppressed his nausea and calmly distanced himself from him.

"What are you doing here this early in the morning?" Bai Jingting frowned and asked.

Chu Pengqing didn't know how bad his smell was, he probably got used to it.

"Bai's family, you really forget things. Didn't I say yesterday that I came to the county to take Chu Zhuang back?" Seeing Bai Jingting pretending to be deaf and dumb, Chu Pengqing sneered in his heart and explained his intentions directly. origin.

He, Chu Pengqing, asked for money, and it was not too late!

Hearing him mention Chu Zhuang's name, Bai Jingting's eyes quickly flashed a touch of cruelty.

"The poison on Zhuang'er's body hasn't healed yet, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go back for a while." Bai Jingting said with his lips tightened.

"Then what should I do, my mother misses her grandson very much..."

Chu Pengqing smiled, although the words were full of embarrassment, but in fact he was persecuting Bai Jingting.

Bai Jingting knew that if he didn't take the money today, he would definitely not be able to dismiss Chu Pengqing easily, so he couldn't help feeling depressed.

"It's rare for you to come to the county seat once, why don't you just take a stroll in the city."

Bai Jingting suppressed his anger, he glanced at Xiao Liu, and gave him a wink, Xiao Liu understood, and immediately went to the accountant to get money to send Chu Pengqing away.

"Master..." Xiao Liu came out with ten silver coins, Bai Jingting nodded slightly, and then handed it over to Chu Pengqing.

In the past, this amount was used every time I came here. Ten silver coins can extend the period for three days. If you want to keep more, then you can add more money at that time.

Chu Pengqing nodded in satisfaction when he got the money. He didn't take too much money every time. After all, this was a long-term business. If Bai Jingting was really annoyed, it would be a bit of a waste.

"Hey, this poisoning matter can be big or small. It's better to stay in the county for a while. I'll come back to him in a few days."

Chu Pengqing accepted the money with a smile, and glanced in the direction of the restaurant.

"We haven't opened for business yet!"

Bai Jingting saw through Chu Pengqing's desire to come in for free, and said with a dark face.

"That's fine, I'll come visit you in-laws again!"

Thinking about the hot pot he ate yesterday, Chu Pengqing couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, but he didn't insist on staying for a meal when he thought about the idea that came up yesterday, he turned around and left directly.

"Master, let's go in." Watching Chu Pengqing walk away, Xiao Liu reminded.

Bai Jingting sighed slightly, and entered the restaurant a little aggrieved, not because he was reluctant to part with the money, but because he didn't want to give money to those people who harmed Chuzhuang.

……

Casino.

"Boss Chu!" When Chen Hao saw Chu Pengqing, his small eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately stood up cheerfully, and gave Chu Pengqing his place at the gaming table. He wiped the stool with his sleeve graciously, and said fawningly: "You sit, you sit."

Although Chen Haocai had an elegant name, he was actually a rascal. His family had some background earlier, but since his father died and no one could rule over him, the family fortune has almost been wiped out.

Because Chu Pengqing always had money in his hands, and he was generous with his moves, he became a dog-legged boy by his side.

Chu Pengqing waved his hand. Although he couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he saw the hands at the table, he still refused because of the plan in his heart.

"Why are you the only one, where is the big boy?" Chu Pengqing looked around and asked.

The big head is the son of Butcher He in the county. His name is He Li. Because of his big head, he got such a nickname.

"He's gone to the latrine at the back. Boss, what's the matter?" Chen Haocai squeezed out of the surrounding crowd, and stood in the corner with Chu Pengqing, muttering.

"I have something to discuss with you."

Chu Pengqing came to Chen Haocai and He Li this time for the hot pot in Bai Jingting Restaurant. He hadn't been to the county for a while, and he didn't know what happened during this time, so he asked them first.

He Li was walking outside while fastening his trouser belt. When he saw Chu Pengqing, he quickly ran over: "Boss Chu."

"Well, go out and talk."

Chu Pengqing took the two of them directly to the brothel, but it was a pity that they had limited money, which was only enough for them to drink a few glasses of flower wine.

"Boss, have you gone to the Zuixian Tower again?" Chen Haocai asked clearly while staring at the glamorous dancers who were dancing in the arena.

Otherwise, Chu Pengqing wouldn't have the money to bring them here.

"This Zuixian Tower is very different from before."

He Li took the conversation, and quickly said: "Since they launched the hot pot, everyone in this county knows about it, everyone knows about it! The restaurant is full every day!"

"When did they launch the hot pot? Why didn't I hear any news?" Chu Pengqing put down his wine glass and asked with a frown.

Chen Haocai and He Li looked at each other, and quickly told Chu Pengqing what happened in the recent period.

"Boss, look, when will you take us to have a feast? Every time I pass by the Zuixian Tower, I can't stop drooling." Chen Haocai asked hastily.

"Yes, yes!" He Li also echoed.

Obviously, Chu Pengqing took them to Bai Jingting's place to eat and drink for nothing in the past.

"I'm not in a hurry for now. If my business is successful, you can eat as much hot pot as you want." Chu Pengqing narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.

"Boss, what do you mean by that?" He Li and Chen Haocai looked at each other and asked in confusion.

"I also ate this hot pot, the most important thing is his base material."

Chu Pengqing put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the two and asked, "If we can get this base material..."

He Li opened his mouth wide, looked at Chu Pengqing in surprise, and asked in surprise, "Boss, are you trying to steal the hot pot ingredients?!"

"Keep your voice down!" Chu Pengqing frowned, looked around, and saw that no one noticed him, so his face softened slightly.

He Li quickly covered his mouth, showing a flattering smile, and said, "Boss~"

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Chen Haocai didn't care about such a small episode, and asked impatiently.

This hot pot base is so miraculously rumored in the county, if they really got it, even if they resell it, it must be a lot of money.

It's just that it's not easy to steal such an important thing.

Chu Pengqing glared at He Li, and then continued: "What are you talking about stealing, I want Bai Jingting to deliver it to me obediently!"

"This……"

He Li and Chen Haocai didn't know how to respond to Chu Pengqing's words.

It's not that Bai Jingting is mentally ill, how could he obediently give such an important thing as hot pot base to Chu Pengqing.

"Hmph!" Seeing that the two didn't believe it, Chu Pengqing snorted coldly and said, "Since you don't believe it, then I'll find someone else to do it!"

After saying that, Chu Pengqing was about to get up and leave.

"Boss, boss, don't!" How could Chen Haocai and He Li let Chu Pengqing leave, they flattered Chu Pengqing, and they coaxed him away.

Chu Pengqing was blown away, and said while drinking: "You guys, it's just that you can't use your brains. This Bai Jingting values ​​Chu Zhuang so much. If we use Chu Zhuang to threaten him, do you think he will give away the hot pot ingredients? come over?!"

"Chu Zhuang?!"

When Chen Haocai and He Li heard this, they vaguely began to know Chu Pengqing's plan. They definitely wanted to kidnap Chu Zhuang and use him to threaten Bai Jingting.

"It's just..." Chen Haocai said with some worry: "This Chuzhuang is a scholar, if things get serious, we..."

He Li couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard the word "scholar". If something happened to someone like Chu Zhuang, it would definitely alarm the county magistrate!

"Look at how cowardly you are!" Chu Pengqing saw the frightened look of the two, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

He looked down on Chu Zhuang since he was a child, and his impression of him was always that of a nerd. Even if he became a scholar, he didn't change his attitude towards him.

"It's not that we are cowardly, but that if Bai Jingting reports the crime, then we will be finished." Chen Haocai forced a smile and said helplessly.

He Li nodded again and again, he dared to do such a sneaky thing, but he didn't dare to touch such a big thing as beheading, he didn't have the guts.

Coward!

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Chu Pengqing couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart.

It's just that he doesn't have anyone to use. Without the help of these two people, it's really not easy for him to do this alone, so he still has to find a way to persuade them.

Even though Chu Pengqing was dissatisfied with the two of them, he could only suppress his emotions temporarily, and explained to them: "The people of Chuzhuang are in our hands, does this Bai Jingting dare to report the case? If he dares to report the case, then we Just kill Chu Zhuang!"

He Li and Chen Haocai couldn't help shaking when they heard the word kill.

"Do you think in Bai Jingting's heart, is the hot pot base or Chu Zhuang important?!" Chu Pengqing looked at the two of them and asked.

"This……"

He Li and Chen Haocai looked at each other, and Chen Haocai said hesitantly, "Chuzhuang should be more important, right?"

These years, the amount of money that Chu Pengqing took from Bai Jingting would definitely not be a small amount, not to mention that every now and then, at least ten days and a half months, Chu Pengqing would have to go to him to get the money back.

Once or twice is not much, but accumulated over more than ten years, it is really not a small amount.

If Bai Jingting didn't care about Chuzhuang, he wouldn't have given it to him for so many years.

If Chuzhuang was in their hands, Bai Jingting might really do what Chu Pengqing said, and obediently offer the recipe of the hot pot base.

"You two follow me and work hard. If it succeeds this time, you will definitely be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future, and you will definitely be able to live in prosperity and wealth."

Chu Pengqing looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows, and seduced them.
