Xiong Gongming, as the master of the city, is not as good as the big crocodile like Luo Tianhan, but the arrangement of food and accommodation is still good. Soon, Xiong Gongming arranged a table of delicious food for Li Yuanhe and others in the best restaurant in Yucheng, which should be a good place for Li Yuanhe and others. Meanwhile, the luggage of Li Yuanhe and others was also sent to Xiong Gongming's residence, where he was arranged to rest that night.
When everyone sat down in the elegant room on the second floor of the restaurant, the food and wine were also served one after another. At this time, the lights were on. Xiong Gongming took Li Yuanhe, Wang Ye and Luo Yan as the top seats, while he was the last one. Even Chenghu and others and Wang Ye's guards, Xiong Gongming arranged them in several elegant rooms next door.
Xiong Gongming first raised his glass of wine and said to Li Yuanhe and others with a humble smile: "it's really lucky for me to meet the three outstanding talents of the imperial court! Here, I'd like to propose a toast to the three adults. I wish them a good journey to the capital and a prosperous official career in the future! The future is bright
"Ha ha! Mr. bear, you are welcome Wang Ye and Luo Yan raised their glasses one after another, smiling back, although their official positions were much higher than Xiong Gongming. However, Xiong Gongming was polite to them, and they also wanted to give the Lord of the city some face.
"Eh?" When Wang Ye and Luo Yan just raised their glasses to Xiong Gongming, they found that Li Yuanhe, who was at the same table, did not stand up. Moreover, he did not even put his mind on the table. It turned out that he was sitting by the window and was looking out of the window. He was so distracted that he didn't know what he was looking at?
"Brother Li?" Luo Yan, who was sitting beside Li Yuan and saw that Xiong Gongming thought he was dissatisfied with him. His face was so white that he felt pity for him. Even though he patted Li Yuanhe on the shoulder and called, Li Yuanhe was still unmoved, which made Luo Yan and Wang a little strange.
Then, Luo Yan and Wang comforted Xiong Gongming with a smile. Then they left the table and came to Li Yuanhe. They looked out of the window to see what Li Yuanhe was looking at. They were so absorbed. Li Yuanhe seemed to have noticed that Luo Yan and Wang had come to his side, and did not look back. Instead, he pointed out the window and said, "look at that man, two old brothers!"
Following Li Yuanhe's fingers, he saw an old man in rags lying on the corner of the street opposite the restaurant. As soon as he saw it, he was a beggar. But now it seems that the beggar is dying, but he has been lying there for a long time without moving. Even passers-by passing by him can't help but detour.
At this time Xiong Gongming also came to have a look, but his face turned pale again. He was sweating and said, "well, this, your honor! This beggar is not a resident of Yu City, but a vagrant from other places to Yu city only yesterday It turned out that Xiong Gongming was afraid that these adults would regard the beggar as a resident of Yucheng, and that he would be regarded as his own political failure, so he quickly explained it.
However, Li Yuanhe did not wait for Xiong Gongming to explain, but turned to Luo Yan, Wang Ye and Xiong Gongming and said, "two brothers! Mr. bear, excuse me for a moment! " After that, he rushed out of the door in a big stride. After a while, he came back. However, he took several kinds of food and wine from the table. He apologized and laughed at the crowd, and then ran out again.
Xiong Gongming was completely confused by Li Yuanhe, but he only looked at Luo Yan and Wang Ye with a puzzled face. Wang also did not understand what Li Yuanhe wanted to do, but only Luo Yan understood Li Yuanhe's mind, but he had no intention to explain. Wang also came from a well-known family, and Xiong Gongming's family background is also rich, even if Luo Yan said it, they may not be able to understand. Only Luo Yan himself and Li Yuanhe were born into poverty. He could see at a glance that Li Yuanhe saw himself before from the old beggar, or thought of the old man who raised him.
Since he knew that Li Yuanhe had nothing to do, Luo Yan didn't say much. Now he was smiling and said to Xiong Gongming: "Lord bear! I'm really sorry. My brother may have remembered something. We don't have to wait for him. Go on! " Then he patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and went back to the wine table directly. Although Wang didn't know what it was for, Luo Yan said hello to himself. He thought there was nothing wrong, so he followed Luo Yan back to the wine table.
As for Xiong Gongming, although he was a little nervous, Wang Ye and Luo Yan both went back to the wine table. It was not good for him to stand at the window alone. Then Xiong Gongming returned to his seat with a smile and wiped his sweat. He began toasting Wang Ye and Luo Yan. After all, in his opinion, Li Yuanhe is also from the eighth grade, only one level higher than him, mainly depends on Wang Ye and Luoyang, the two officials from the fifth grade.
At this time, Li Yuanhe was holding food and wine, and ran down the building, directly ran outside the restaurant. Looking around, he saw the beggar he had seen upstairs before, and quickly stepped forward. The old beggar, looking down at the old man's hand, slowly put down the old man's food.
The old beggar was obviously old. His hair, eyebrows and beard were all gray, but they were stained by the dust on the ground. On his face, however, there are four longitudinal gullies, all of which are traces of years. Such an old man, if living in an ordinary family, should now be surrounded by his children and grandchildren, enjoying his old age.Thinking of this, Li Yuanhe couldn't help but think of the old man who raised himself. His nose was sour. Even if he patted the old beggar on the shoulder, he called softly: "old man! Old man! Wake up
After a long time, the old beggar was struggling to open his eyes. At first, he was confused. Obviously, he didn't know why someone would pat him. When he turned his head, he saw Li Yuanhe. At this time, Li Yuanhe was still a suit of armor, but he didn't wear a helmet. The Dark Armor scared the old beggar. He got up in a hurry and kowtowed to Li Yuanhe and said, "villain, villain, please see Junye, please see Junye!"
Seeing that the old beggar was frightened, Li Yuanhe and Dang felt a little embarrassed when he arrived, and regretted why he didn't change his armor. Li Yuanhe used to be a common man. He knew that when facing the soldiers, the civilians would be afraid of these killers. Li Yuanhe quickly reached out to help the old beggar, and when his hand touched the old beggar's arm, Li Yuanhe could even clearly feel the old beggar's body tremble. Li Yuanhe couldn't help laughing bitterly, but he still helped the old beggar up and took the food and wine to the old beggar. He said to the old beggar, "old man, eat something first."
The old beggar was still a little suspicious when he heard Li Yuanhe's words, but when he saw the wine and vegetables that had been brought to him, he was immediately stupefied. The old beggar has been begging for more than ten years. Even in his life, he has never eaten such good food and wine. Just smelling the smell of these food and wine, the old beggar couldn't help but drool and swallowed hard. His eyes were already staring at one of the dishes of braised pork.
With a smile, Li Yuanhe quickly sent the dish of braised pork to the old beggar. The old beggar hesitantly looked at Li Yuanhe, but he just met Li Yuanhe's smiling face. Think again and again, think of yourself as a beggar, there is nothing people can do, it is a bite of teeth, grab the dish of braised pork, grab the greasy braised pork and put it into the mouth.
Looking at the old beggar's appearance, Li Yuanhe couldn't help but feel sad, and said in a kiss: "eat slowly, don't worry, there are still here! Don't just eat braised pork, drink some soup Then Li Yuanhe took up a large bowl of duck soup and sent it to the old beggar. Then he squatted down and watched the old beggar gobbling.
I don't know how many days the old beggar didn't have a full meal. He didn't even care to drink duck soup. The large plate of stewed pork was killed by him. He even didn't want to lick the oil stains on the plate with his tongue. Seeing this, Li Yuanhe quickly served a dish with his other hand, but he first sent the duck soup to him, indicating that he wanted to let the old beggar drink a bowl of soup.
The old beggar didn't pay so much attention to it. But when he saw the military master in front of him, he had to do it. He was afraid that the next food would lose his share, so he took the bowl of duck soup and Gulu Gulu was poured down. After drinking the duck soup, he took the plate from Li Yuan and continued to eat. He said to him, "I'm not so happy when I see him eating! No hurry! Eat slowly, old man. If it's not enough, I'll get it again! "
Now the old beggar can't afford to talk, so he just has to eat. However, when the old beggar finished his third dish, he suddenly stopped. Li Yuanhe looked at the old beggar strangely, only to see his face in pain, but the wrinkles on his face were getting deeper and deeper.
Li Yuanhe couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know what had happened. He hurried forward and asked, "old man! Old man! Are you okay? What's the trouble? Somebody! Come on Seeing that the old beggar suddenly covered his stomach and rolled on the ground with pain on his face, Li Yuanhe was in a panic and yelled to the left and right.
Looking at the old beggar's face in pain, Li Yuanhe suddenly saw the food and wine left by him. He was surprised. Could it be that the food and wine were poisonous?
