This time, Cao Fei had rescued him from Sun Er 'niang's entanglement, so he could be considered half a benefactor. Moreover, he had long known about Sun Er' niang's shady business, so he did not report it to the officials. It was indeed suspicious of covering up for her.
If Cao Fei had finished him off with a single punch, he would not have been able to reason with him.
Zhang Qing heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that.
"Thank you for not killing me. May I know your name?”
"I don't dare to call you by your name. I'm from the Cao Army of Yanggu County, and I'm currently the head of the county government.”
Zhang Qing was shocked and asked,""Could it be that Cao Dutou of Jingyang Ridge?”
"Yes, I am."
Zhang Qing quickly stood up from the table and chair, fell to the ground, and bowed." I've heard of you for a long time. It's my honor to meet you today."”
Although this person had bowed to Cao Fei many times, this bow was the most sincere and convincing.
The reason why he had knelt down earlier was to beg for mercy. He had kowtowed to Cao Fei for his fist and strength.
And this time, it was thanks to fame.
Although Second Brother Wu had passed away many days ago, Cao Fei could not help but feel a little ashamed every time he was revered as the hero who had beaten the tiger.
"Second Brother Wu, oh Second Brother Wu, if you have a spirit in the heavens, watch how I protect the martial arts university family.”
Since he had said this, Cao Fei was not afraid that Zhang Qing would go back on his word. He simply explained to Zhang Qing the arrangements after he went to Yanggu County and the reason for protecting the martial arts university family.
When the latter heard that he was taking care of the orphan of Cao Fei's sworn brother who had passed away, he was instantly grateful for Cao Fei's benevolence and became even more loyal.
The two of them rested in the thatched cottage for the night.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Qing packed his belongings and left the Ten Mile Slope with Cao Fei.
On the day Cao Fei left, the martial arts university did not stay idle. With the help of the exceptionally enthusiastic Grandma Wang, they bought a shop on Purple Stone Street at a discounted price of 95 taels of silver. They planned to tidy it up and open a steamed bun deli.
The store was only 30 square meters in size, so it was quickly cleaned up. After the handover was done, Wu Da and Pan Jinlian worked together in the remaining half a day. With the help of Yun Geer, Grandma Wang, and other neighbors, they quickly cleaned up.
They had originally planned to discuss the opening date with Cao Fei, but after sending someone to the county government, they found out that Cao Fei had already taken leave. They had no choice but to set the opening date for three days later and wait for Cao Fei to return to celebrate together.
Soon, three days passed in a flash, and Purple Stone Street became lively.
Most of the people who lived here were neighbors. Although the martial arts university did not have much of a reputation after moving here for a while, it could not be helped that he had a famous wife.
The name of the martial arts university's Cuozi was even more widely spread.
Every time he appeared in the mouth of those lechers, he would praise Pan Jinlian's beauty and then spit on the martial arts university's idiot.
Coupled with the promotion of the local Granny Wang, the delicatessen in martial arts universities was already popular before it even opened.
Its popularity was no less than the internet celebrity shops of the future.
On the day of the opening, all the neighbors flocked to the shop and squeezed at the entrance. They admired Pan Jinlian's beauty on the shop and listened to the lively beating of gongs and drums as if it was a festival.
Xi Men Qing was also bored on this day. He strolled to Purple Stone Street and was attracted by the noise.
At the entrance of the deli, Wu Da had already prepared the cooked food. He and Pan Jinlian each took a tray and distributed it to the workers who were beating gongs and drums.
Pan Jinlian had changed into a new set of clothes that she was only willing to wear during the New Year. She stood beside the small martial arts university, making her figure look even more beautiful.
Coupled with the festive look on her face, her entire body seemed to have been painted with a layer of light, making her exceptionally charming.
Ximen Qing only took a glance at her, but his attention was immediately drawn to Pan Jinlian.
"Little brother, do you know whose wife is that lady outside the shop?”XiMen Qing lowered his status and humbly asked the idle people who were watching the show.
That layman was also a fan of Pan Jinlian. He was usually locked in the courtyard by the martial arts university and did not step out of the door. It was extremely difficult for him to take a look at her.
Today, thanks to the opening of the new shop, the charming lady actually showed up in public, just in time to feast her eyes.
Just as he was engrossed in reading, he was suddenly interrupted by someone. He was a little impatient, but when he turned around and saw the pig-like look on Ximen Qing's face, he was even more unbearable than he was back then. For a moment, it was as if he had found a kindred spirit, and he was no longer angry.
The idle man teased Ximen Qing and asked,""Can you guess?"
"Could it be Xu San's wife?" Ximen Qing guessed.”
As soon as Ximen Qing finished speaking, the idle man spat on the ground unwillingly." No, if they are from his family, they are a pair. You can guess again."”
Xi Men Qing controlled his temper and guessed,"Could it be the wife of the flowery arm Lu Xiaoyi?”
He took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the idle man." I really can't guess. You can just tell me."”
The idle man took the silver pieces and shook them in his hand. There was about one tael of silver. At that moment, he stopped talking in riddles. He tiptoed and spat fiercely at the air. Then, he slapped his thigh heavily and replied in grief and indignation,"She's Wu Dalang's wife, who was selling biscuits on the street earlier.”
"Wu Da is the short man who is like the bark of a tree that gives out steamed buns at the entrance of the shop.”
Ximen Qing looked in the direction where the man was pointing and saw Wu Da and Pan Jinlian enter the shop one after the other after giving out the steamed buns. His face was filled with disbelief.
The two of them were very tall.
If they stood side by side, the martial arts universities would not be able to reach Pan Jinlian's shoulders.
Their appearances were worlds apart.
No matter who it was, they would never believe it the first time they heard about it.
Ximen Qing couldn't believe it either and asked in surprise,""Really?"
"How can this be fake? Everyone who lived nearby knew about it.”
Xi Men Qing sized him up again and couldn't help but sigh,""What a good piece of mutton. How did it fall into the dog's mouth?”
