Without stopping, Yang Rui brought Qi Zheng to Juping County in less than four hours. As Qi Zheng's previous identity was not suitable for him to show his face in the County Magistrate's Mansion, Yang Rui arranged for Qi Zheng to wait in 'A pint of incense' Inn.
'A pint of incense' Manager Wang was not in the inn as he had something to do at home. Coincidentally, as soon as Yang Rui appeared in 'A pint of incense' Inn, his old friend, Butler Zhao, followed him in. Naturally, they had to exchange greetings. Yang Rui who knew a little about the background of the game was very familiar with exchanging greetings with NPCs.
Butler Zhao usually spent most of his time outside and rarely stayed in the inn. This time, he had just returned from a business trip to Lin County. After knowing the purpose of Yang Rui's visit, he took the initiative to accompany Yang Rui to the County Magistrate's Mansion since he had nothing else to do.
Naturally, Yang Rui would not reject Butler Zhao's initiative to help him. NPCs like Butler Zhao would only take the initiative to communicate with players when their intimacy level reached a certain level. It was not easy for Yang Rui to establish a good relationship with him. Naturally, he would not neglect Butler Zhao along the way. While they talked about the sweet potato business, Yang Rui discreetly stuffed some money into Butler Zhao's hands.
Now that Yang Rui had some extra money, he spent more money than before. Naturally, Butler Zhao was very happy. The money was not wasted. Just like last time, Butler Zhao took the initiative to talk to Butler Wei from the County Magistrate's Mansion and explained the purpose of Yang Rui's visit.
Yang Rui felt that spending some money on Butler Zhao was worth it. Butler Zhao was very friendly every time they met. Besides, Butler Zhao was the person in charge of the sweet potato business between 'A pint of incense' and Big Mountain Village. As long as they had a good relationship, he would be able to make up for the loss by taking care of the sweet potato business.
Moreover, Wang Hai had completely submitted to Yang Rui and mastered the advanced wine-making skill. Once the winery officially started production, it was very likely that they would cooperate with 'A pint of incense'! Yang Rui was about to mention this matter to Steward Zhao and let him coordinate it.
"Brother Blazing Sun, Butler Wei said that Liu County Lieutenant has been working for grandfather for three days and is not in the mansion today. I'm afraid that he will have to wait until tomorrow to try again. According to Butler Wei, the County Lieutenant will be back in the mansion in a few days." Butler Zhao took the initiative to investigate the situation clearly.
Since the County Lieutenant was not at home, Yang Rui had to go back to 'A pint of incense' with Butler Zhao to wait. Both of them had nothing to do. Since Manager Wang was not in the inn, Butler Zhao pulled Yang Rui and Qi Zheng to drink together. After entertaining them with good wine and tea for most of the afternoon, Manager Wang finally came back in the evening. Yang Rui took the initiative and ordered a table of good dishes. They talked about the brewing of wine in Big Mountain Village.
Yang Rui was not clear about the quality of the wine produced by 'A pint of incense', so he did not know how to talk to Manager Wang. Fortunately, with Butler Zhao's help, he explained the situation to Manager Wang. He explained that Big Mountain Village had a new winemaker and was preparing to build a winery to brew wine.
"About the wine …" Manager Wang hesitated.
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Wang was a little hesitant. He frowned and pondered for a while before continuing, "Village Head Lieyang, let me be frank with you. You know the level of the first-grade incense. Other materials are not that important, but the wine is an important factor that affects the consumption level. Forgive me for advising you, Village Head Lieyang, although the quality of the wine is not low, we can't accept the wine brewed in the mountain village below the intermediate level!"
At this point, Shopkeeper Wang took a sip of the tea in front of him. His attitude had basically rejected the offer of the mountain village! In his opinion, a newly built village like Big Mountain Village would not produce any good wine.
When it came to the quality of the business, Steward Zhao naturally knew the severity of the matter. He had already seen Shopkeeper Wang's choice clearly. At this moment, he was also silently drinking his tea.
"Haha, Manager Wang, you don't have to be embarrassed …" Yang Rui knew that 'A pint of incense' only had an intermediate level requirement for the wine. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by the waiter who pushed the door open.
"Manager, Butler Zhao, Village Chief Blazing Sun, the County Commandant's Office sent someone to say that Liu County Lieutenant has returned and asked Blazing Sun to meet him."
Oh? This Liu County Lieutenant is really nice. He sent someone to inform me as soon as he came back!
In comparison, the task of suppressing the bandits was more urgent. Yang Rui did not have time to talk about the wine supply with 'A pint of incense'. He hurriedly said goodbye to Manager Wang and rushed towards the County Commandant's Office. Butler Zhao did not come along because Manager Wang was present. After all, both sides had business dealings. As a staff member, it was not good for Butler Zhao to get too close to Yang Rui in private.
"Blazing Sun is here! Come, sit down! Sit down! I sent someone to inform you as soon as I got home! "
When Yang Rui arrived at the County Commandant's Office, Liu County Lieutenant was already waiting for Yang Rui in the study. It could be seen that this County Lieutenant cared a lot about Yang Rui! In terms of the NPC's attitude towards players, Liu County Lieutenant's attitude was very good! This was mostly due to the gifts Yang Rui gave him last time.
"Greetings, County Lieutenant!"
Yang Rui clasped his fist and bowed. Then, he quietly handed over a few Grade 9 Chilin Fish and 100 silver coins to Liu County Lieutenant. "This mountain village is remote. I wonder if Liu County Lieutenant is used to the small produce here?"
"Haha, the flavor of this Chilin Fish is really good! Don't be so courteous next time. We're on the same side! "
Liu County Lieutenant quietly took the Chilin Fish and 100 silver coins. He enthusiastically pulled Yang Rui to sit opposite of the study table and then sat behind the study table.
"Someone come, make some tea!"
Liu County Lieutenant accepted Yang Rui's gifts and was in a very good mood. Even the way he treated Yang Rui was of a higher class. "May I know why Blazing Sun came to the County Commandant's Office?"
"Reporting to County Lieutenant, I have a small matter to report to you! I've received your order to eliminate the bandits in Gourd Valley and I've completed it! "
"Oh? It's just as I expected! Hurry up and tell me the whole story! "
Next, Yang Rui recounted the process of eliminating the bandits to County Lieutenant Liu in detail. He reported the key points truthfully, such as when they seized the checkpoint on the mountainside, how they managed to lure and eliminate the bandits in the drill ground, and how they finally took down the bandit leader. He gave a rough account of everything.
However, Yang Rui had some reservations about using Ao Lai Ferocious Tiger to kill the monsters. He made it sound like they had encountered the boss when they were attacking the mountain village. Also, Yang Rui did not mention the Molin Village and Lower Molin Village when they took over the checkpoint.
Yang Rui spoke tirelessly, seventy percent true and thirty percent false. He explained the general process of suppressing the bandits clearly, but he also concealed some things that he thought should not be mentioned. Hearing this, County Magistrate Liu could not help nodding.
