King Dongshan's good mood ended with this team of people carrying security flags.

Why do the flags of Weidong’s caravan escort team and the security team of the 800-li Panlong Mountain have the same flag?

One of them is in the east of Kyoto, and the other is in the north of Kyoto. They are more than a thousand miles apart. What kind of connection could they have?

Does this flag have any special meaning?

He called out to the door, "Waiter, bring me two more plates of cakes."

The waiter outside the door quickly responded:

"Sir, what kind of cakes do you like? Our restaurant has thousand-layer cakes, eight-treasure cakes, osmanthus cakes, honey cakes, sesame cakes, and jade bean cakes."

This little mouth is very skilled at pulling the bar.

King Dongshan: "Ah, the varieties are quite complete. I'll serve the Eight Treasures Cake and the Honey Kernel Cake."

Waiter: "Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!" After exiting the private room, he loudly read out the names of the dishes in the direction of the back kitchen:

"The Peony Private Room will have an additional plate of Eight Treasures Cake and a plate of Honey Kernel Cake!"

King Dongshan used chopsticks to pick up some delicious dishes to taste. Although he no longer had much appetite, he still looked relaxed.

Xie Qi clearly felt that the prince seemed unhappy at the moment.

He was puzzled. Everything was fine just now, why did it suddenly change?

A noble person is fickle-minded.

The waiter quickly came in with the pastries and placed them skillfully in front of King Dongshan.

King Dongshan looked at the exquisite pastries and nodded with great satisfaction. He casually threw a piece of silver to the waiter, who caught it very swiftly and immediately thanked him with a smile:

"Thank you for your reward, sir. You are very wealthy, and I am sure you will make the most money from this gathering!"

King Dongshan smiled and teased him, "Thank you for your good words, little brother."

He turned his head, pointed out the window with the fan in his hand and asked:

"It's my first time here. I just saw a group of people passing by. Their flag was quite special. It was black."

The waiter took the initiative to answer:

"Oh! You mean the security flag? Those who went there must be the security team. They are responsible for escorting the caravan in and out safely. You know, this place used to be a den of bandits. Without the security team, who would dare to do business here?"

King Dongshan asked with great interest: "Really? So they are very powerful?"

Xiao Wai received benefits from others, so he naturally told them everything he knew:

"Of course! They wiped out all the big bandit camps here. How can they not be powerful?"

The waiter said mysteriously:

"I heard that they picked off several bandit dens in one day, and those bandits who killed people without blinking an eye disappeared overnight. Later, many bandits who were unwilling to accept the result looked for trouble with them, and guess what happened?"

King Dongshan asked politely, "How is it?"

The waiter slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, they all went away and never came back. Anyway, no one saw them again." His eyebrows twitched flexibly, as if asking, "Do you understand?"

King Dongshan also imitated the waiter and asked in a low voice: "Does the government not care?"

Xiao Er said with disdain:

"Government? Those gentlemen never dare to come here. Officials are all showing off their power in the rich and powerful places. Why would they risk coming to this bandit's den?

They value their lives so much, why would they come here to suffer?

Before the Bai family came here, it was difficult for the caravan to leave here alive.

There were some lucky ones who escaped and reported the case to the authorities, but the authorities said that there was no reason to go there knowing there were bandits, and that they deserved to die.

Is this something a human being can say? If not the official road, where else would the caravan go?

The official road was occupied by bandits. The local officials ignored the bandits and blamed the caravan for taking this route.

Where can I go to seek justice? It seems that bandits are justified in robbing. Such officials are more hateful than bandits!

Haha! If you count on them, you won’t be able to count on them in your next life.”

King Dongshan gave a particularly forced smile, which sounded a bit like gnashing of teeth.

Xie Qi: It’s not easy for my master either.

The waiter remembered something and sneered:

"A few months ago, the government heard there was money to be made here, so they actually came here.

But before they got here, they were kidnapped by bandits outside. The government had no choice but to pay a large sum of money to the bandits to redeem them. Hehe, how embarrassing! "

He wanted to extort money, but before he could get any money, he ended up paying a lot to the bandits!

No wonder people look down on him, he is so stupid!

Xie Qi wanted to laugh for some reason, but for the sake of his own future, he held it back. Fortunately, his icy face was very intimidating.

King Dongshan and the waiter laughed at the robbed county magistrate.

The waiter said happily:

"Although the bandits are afraid of our security team, they are not afraid of those incompetent officers and soldiers. They are just show-offs. What else can they do except bully the honest people?"

King Dongshan: "Haha, that's right."

The waiter here dares to speak so generously about the government and the county magistrate, which shows that the government really has no say in Panlong Mountain.

The waiter patted his chest and assured:

"Sir, even if this is your first time here, please rest assured that there is no government exploitation or banditry when doing business here. How much you earn is up to you."

King Dongshan had an expression that said, "That's great. I feel relieved now."

He asked: "If I succeed in the transaction and need a security escort, who should I contact?"

Xiao Er said knowingly:

"Tomorrow you will go to the two-story building opposite. As soon as you enter, the Bai family's steward will greet you. Tell him your idea and he will arrange a time for the security team to pick you up. Of course, there will be a charge for this."

King Dongshan: "Of course, but is the fee high?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Not high. No matter how high it is, it can't be higher than the government office."

Xie Qi: Your comparison is really on point. My master must be so pissed off that he must be dying.

Wait for the waiter to take the reward and leave.

King Dongshan took off his disguise and began to curse with a cold face:

"These damned rubbish have brought shame to my brother. Even the waiters in the restaurant look down on them! This shows how much they have lost the support of the people.

How can you be respected by others if you only know how to sit in government office and abuse your power while receiving salary and never think about doing anything for the people? "

Xie Qi was a man without good eyesight. He just lowered his head and ate the chicken leg without even raising his head.

King Dongshan asked him unwillingly, "Do you think there is no good official in this world?"

It would be embarrassing for an official to be scolded.

I always feel like I've been implicated and suffered an unexpected disaster!

Wronged!

Xie Qi held a chicken leg in his mouth, looking at his master with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you are saying." Seeing this, King Dongshan could only say:

"Keep eating, pretend I didn't say anything." This is just a piece of wood.

It might be okay to ask him about his martial arts, but asking him about being an official is like talking to a cow!
