Chapter 148: A good trick to coerce

Lin Mei's mother and daughter searched for a long time in Jinju City, and then they found an inn that was still open, and the rest of the shops had long been closed, let alone picking up customers.

The inn was deserted, and there weren't many guests, so as soon as Lin Mei entered, she was looked at by the shopkeeper who was wiping the table with a sad face, and immediately put on a happy expression and welcomed the two of them in.

"Are the two guest officers going to stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper wrapped the rag that had wiped the table around himself, rubbed his hands, and smiled greasy all over his face.

Lin Mei couldn't help but take a few steps back, wrinkled her nose, pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Lin's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Mother, why don't we change it?" She didn't ask how good the environment in this inn was, but the rag that wiped the table could be wrapped around herself, so it wasn't clean, right?

The shopkeeper's ears were sharp, but the smile on his face after hearing Lin Mei say this was piled up tighter, and he said in a sticky tone, "Girl, it's not that I'm talking big, but you should have seen it too, I'm afraid that now in Jinzhou City, few of them dare to pull guests inside!" Everyone is afraid of being infected with the plague by the people of Linshan County, even if you find another inn, girl, what is the price...... I'm afraid it's also sky-high! ”

Mrs. Lin patted Lin Mei's hand, raised a sincere smile, and said enthusiastically, "This little brother, we live here, please send some hot water and food later, this ...... It's a deposit. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Lin took out a small ingot of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Mother......" Lin Mei pursed her mouth, obviously not having much affection for this inn. But her mother still wants to live here, but I'm afraid that the meals delivered by then will be unclean.

"Girl, this man. When you go out, you can naturally just do it, don't look at me like this, the taste of our food here is not bad......" The shopkeeper led Lin Mei's mother and daughter upstairs, and said in a chattering voice, "Don't look at the small faΓ§ade of our inn, but there should be everything inside......"

Lin Mei followed behind and pouted. Obviously, I don't believe what the shopkeeper said.

"The two guest officers, please rest first, the food and hot water will be delivered immediately......" The shopkeeper reversed the amount of silver in his hand, and after sending Lin Mei's mother and daughter into the guest room, he immediately went down to call for hot water.

Lin Mei saw that this room looked quite clean. It's much stronger than in the lobby, which is a little comforting.

"Mother, if you look for it again, maybe there will be a better inn?" Lin Mei was still a little unwilling. Grumbling with a pout. "The second child in this shop is too flamboyant, and he doesn't look like a good person......"

Mrs. Lin sighed and was about to comfort Lin Mei, but she heard someone knocking at the door, it was a young man, saying that he was here to deliver hot water.

"Come in......" Lin Mei said weakly, and just wanted to turn her head and go inside to rest, but saw that the young man who delivered the water was a little familiar. She fixed her eyes and saw that it was Feng Tianbao, who was supposed to stay in the Tang Mansion.

Lin ...... Miss Lin ......, "Feng Tianbao obviously recognized Lin Mei as well. His tone trembled, his hands shook, and he almost knocked over the water.

He was also really unlucky, when Linshan County was infected with the plague, he finally escaped from the Tang Mansion, but not long after he came out, he actually met Lin Mei again.

"What, you're not happy to see me?" Lin Mei raised her eyebrows, her already bad mood was getting worse now.

Feng Tianbao had a bitter face, where did he dare to say that he was unhappy, and said in a busy voice, "Happy, happy...... Why are you unhappy when you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country? ”

"No, aren't you working in the Tang Mansion, why did you come here?" Lin Mei couldn't help frowning, remembering what she hadn't finished asking about last time, and then thinking about Feng Tianbao's current situation, she thought about it for a while.

As soon as he mentioned this, Feng Tianbao's face was full of depression, and he sighed and said, "If it weren't for the plague that so many people in Linshan County had contracted the plague, I wouldn't have to come here...... Look at Miss Lin, you are also here to flee, right? Alas, I didn't have much money on me, and I entered Jinju City with my cousin at that time, and he was good, squandering and gambling every day, but I had a sick mother at home, so naturally I was not as chic as him, and I saw that this inn was recruiting people, so I stayed, and the money every month was better than what I used to do in Tang Mansion, but fortunately, there was also food and accommodation here, otherwise our family would really be living on the streets......"

Lin Mei actually felt that Feng Tianbao was quite pitiful, what she threatened him last time was just a lie to force him to tell the truth, if she wanted her to do something like that to an old man, she couldn't do it!

"Mer, is this your friend?" Seeing that the two of them got along in such a strange way, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but ask.

Listening to her mother's questioning questions, Lin Mei immediately pulled up a smile, snatched the basin from Feng Tianbao's hand and put it in the house, and then pulled the corner of Feng Tianbao's clothes and walked out, "Mother, I'll talk to him, you wash your face first......

After that, Lin Mei immediately closed the door at a lightning speed, and when she saw that there was no one at the staircase, she pulled Feng Tianbao there, shook it fiercely, and immediately changed into a fierce expression, and asked with a gritty tooth, "Now that you have left the Tang family, those things can always be said, right?!" ”

Feng Tianbao's back hit the hard wall, but it couldn't withstand his fear of Lin Mei, and he couldn't even care about the pain, so he replied cautiously, "Miss Lin, what are you talking about?" ”

Seeing Feng Tianbao pretending to be stupid like this, Lin Mei couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said hatefully, "If you can find this thing to do, it must not be easy for you, you say...... If I go and give the shopkeeper a few taels of silver, will he keep you or will he listen to me? ”

Feng Tianbao saw that Lin Mei was really coming, the expression on his face immediately changed, he was entangled for a long time, and said with a crying voice, "Miss Lin, you are forcing me to death!" ”

"Pushing you to a dead end?" Lin Mei snorted and said coldly, "You didn't report it because you knew it because you were afraid of Aunt Qin's revenge, which is barely a reason, but now that Aunt Qin has gone to the capital, what do you dare not say?" You only said that Lin Shi was very good to you before, but what are you doing now that is worthy of her?! ”

Feng Tianbao was also very sad when he heard this, especially Lin Mei's threat really made him have no way to escape, if he left here, he really couldn't guarantee that the next place to find things would be treated so well. (To be continued......)
