Chapter 44: Were you very happy when you saw that I had come?
Shen Qiao asked, ”Did they say their nao take a look!”
Growing up in theoccasion Even before Shen Qiao could reply, he was already shouting his way out to notify the abbot
Shen Qiao walked up to the entrance Just like the boy said, there were soroup of people were unloading chests off them
The creas led by a man dressed like a servant But, he was not an ordinary servant Judging by his appearance and his clothes, he was at least a personal attendant who directly served athat Shen Qiao had walked out, the man took a step forward However, he didn't come close ”May I ask if you are Shen Qiao?”
”I am,” Shen Qiao said
The other person said, ”I acheng District”
Even though Shen Qiao already knew the answer in his heart, he still asked, ”Who is this Duke of Pengcheng District? I'm afraid I don't know him”
The other person see Shen Qiao's question, he si District said you had done hiiven in need shall be returned with a burst of spring' Therefore, he asked us to deliver these gifts We hope you would kindly accept this s for Shen Qiao to reply, he commanded the coachman and the rest of the servants with a clap of his hands, ”Open the chests”
Right at that tion Monastery rushed out after the two little priests to greet his guests However, before he even had time to say hi to Shen Qiao, he was already attracted by those chests being opened
And they iasp!
It wasn't because they were surprised Rather, the voices were filled with disbelief
It was because the chests were not filled withbut donkey ers!
As soon as the chests were opened, the steaht in the face The abbot and the two little Daoist priests couldn't help gulp hard
With a disdainful look on his face, the servant sneered, ”The Duke of Pengcheng District asked race of you, he was able to eat a few of your burgers, and noould like to pay you back tenfold We don't know if these are enough If not, we'll send over a few er or fear It was quite the contrary —— he even replied with a set my dinner since the kitchen was already closed I have to thank your master very much for his timely help At least I don't have to worry about my meals for the next couple of days”
The servant probably didn't expect that Shen Qiao would react this way After a er He obviously thought that Shen Qiao had given in too easily In his mind, this person must have offended his master in the past, hence the latter decided to pay hihts in mind, he didn't take Shen Qiao seriously and only nodded, ”Then I'll return to report to esture, and the servants on either side iers out of the chests
The abbot and two little priests cried in great flurry, ”What are you doing?! The burgers are now dirty!”
The servant laughed aloud ”Master asked ers, but he never said that boxes were included!”
The donkey ers fell all over the floor The juice inside them flew out, and the aroers Even if the abbot and the little priests wanted to pick the burgers up, brush off the dust, and then eat them, they dared not do so now They could only choke with silent fury as they stared at the burgers with regret written all over their faces
The smile finally disappeared frohtly darkened
When Chen Gong was still living in that broken teers A hot meal was all it took to fill hi like this just to vent his own anger One couldn't help but wonder whether it was because that power and wealth really could becloud a person's heart, or whether it was the environ a person's mind and nature so easily
”Wait”
The servant slowly stopped and looked back, ”What else do you need, ers before you leave”
The servant couldn't help laughing, ”Mister, you ifts for you from my master How can we eat them? Take your time and enjoy!”
He turned around However, he wasn't able to walk far before his triumphant smile turned into horror
He felt pain in his wrist, a pain so sharp that he could barely stand
And before he knew it, Shen Qiao as originallyin front of his eyes
Face distorted by pain, he groaned, ”Letgo… Let rains upon us, and we shall treasure them with the ut outside the city Therefore, please finish these burgers before you go”
Startled, horrified, and flaer, the servant shouted, ”Who do you think you are?! Do you even knoe are?! The Duke of Pengcheng District is the Emperor's favorite…”
Shen Qiao's face looked cold and indifferent, ”I don't know a Duke of Pengcheng District If you don't want to eat these, none of you shall leave today”
It seeht after Shen Qiao finished, a coachman turned around and broke into a run immediately However, before he was three steps out, his body suddenly fell forward and he was unable to move anymore
Shen Qiao asked, ”Will you eat it?”
The servant shouted, ”Shen Qiao! If you dare huainst you a hundred fold! Don't you ever regret it later!”
”Will you eat it?”
”I dare you… AHH!!!!”
He screauish The fierce appearance on his face instantly turned into one of extrerabbed him by the wrist No one could tell what Shen Qiao did exactly There wasn't any fracture or injury on the other person's wrist, but the servant appeared to be in so ave everyone else a chill by looking at him
”Will you eat it?”
His tone was just as calentle, but his eyes slowly turned frolanced over all bowed their heads and dared not look directly at him
At this point, the attendant did not dare to act arrogantly anyed drastically as he trembled, ”Just to let ers He didn't tell us to duive er person I'le over these kinds of things with us!”
Shen Qiao said, ”If you really want ers Otherwise, if I am to ask your er out on you You need to think carefully about it”
The waiter wanted to cry, but no tears caround, pick up the burgers, and start eating
Those burgers on the ground were already cold The servant could even taste the sand and stonesChen Gong, he had been eating even better than the general well-off families When did he ever have to eat food like this that even the dogs in the mansion would not eat? He almost cried when he bit down But since Shen Qiao was still watching him from the side, he had no choice but to s eachshi+t
Seeing that the other people who ca at hi for?! Come and help me eat these!”
Despite the fact that they were reluctant in every possible way, because that servant was very much favored by their master, they had to follow after hicheng District had always been the center of conversation ever since the day he became the Emperor's new favorite —— even the abbot of thishow Shen Qiao showed no trace of politeness towards these people, he was so astonished that he even forgot to close hispriest pulled the abbot by the corner of his robe a few ti District coe, e be inflicted?”
The abbot turned to hiroaned in a low voice, ”Shut up! Do you not see how skilled he is in martial arts?!”
Shen Qiao heard hi a dozen or so burgers each, all stated with mournful faces that they really couldn't eat anyo
However, there were still at least a few dozens of burgers on the ground Shen Qiao shook his head, ”Even if I let you take the burgers back, there's no doubt that you'll just throw the today before finishi+ng them”
The servant tre for me to report to him!”
Shen Qiao said, ”I'm sure he'll send more people over if he doesn't see you Won't you have ers by then?”
The servant dared not speak any all the way till nightfall, obbled up and wolfed the food It was not until their bellies were round and their faces ashen did Shen Qiao finally reat amnesty to theht, so they had to help support each other as they respectfully caize
Shen Qiao said, ”Go back and tell yourby this place te to the abbot because of me”
The servant forced out a s How could we dare!”
Despite what he said, he was actually planning on doing so if Shen Qiao hadn't pointed it out
Shen Qiao didn't say anything else and let the sure that those devils had left, the abbot finally careat trouble to our monastery We've always been secluded and withdrawn, and we have never stirred up disturbances Today, trouble has fallen to us from the sky, but just what have we done to deserve this?”
Shen Qiao said apologetically, ”There's no need to worry This shouldn't have had anything to do with you in the first place I'll visit that person s up with him tomorrow They won't come to you anymore”
The abbot was still a little unhappy, ”It better be like that!”
Shen Qiao took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and handed it to him, ”I've inconvenienced you I don't have oodwill and let h”
Only then did the abbot's face clear up a little He looked at the two disciples ere staring at hi up his sleeves Once the copper coins were enclosed in his hand, he said, ”This is enough, though barely It's late, and the wind is quite harsh Coether with theht that there'd be donkey ers to eat However, after all the ers, they got only a shoatch While the abbot fretted over the possibility of offending someone, the small priests on the other hand were extre priest who had previously lazily received Shen Qiao His attitude had also changed drastically, and his gaze now practically radiated light
”Mister Shen, do you knoho those guys represent? They're under the Duke of Pengcheng District, the new favorite minister of the E to be the…”
The unfinished words vanished under the pain of being hit in the back of the head by the abbot
”That's not soe should say!” the abbot scolded
The little priest cradled the back of his head, feeling wronged, ”But you were the one who told us!”
The abbot rolled his eyes at hio cook already? Your master is about to starve!”
