Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Bandit's Move
Two members of the Snake Clan stepped forward and searched the three carts and horses, and probably found more than half a cart of "prohibited items" to be confiscated.
Xie Hao took a look before leaving, what kind of prohibited items were in that half car, it was obviously a normal dry goods, and it was the best dry goods in these three cars. It's just a big deal.
"Grandpa, this!" A young man behind the old man was about to rush up to fight with the two snake clansmen, but he was stopped by the old man.
The actions of the two were naturally seen by the clansmen of the Snake Clan, and the Snake Clan in the lead snorted, "Boy, it is only natural to accept your offerings, you live under the protection of our Snake Clan every day, don't you want to pay some management and protection fees." Can't stand it if you just accept this offering? Brothers, confiscate the other half of the car of prohibited items for me. ”
"Boy, here, if you want to live for a long time, you still have to listen to us obediently."
The old man stopped his grandson, who was about to run away, and said respectfully: "Master Snake, can we pass?" ”
"It's still the old man's interest, so I'll let you pass this time. Remember, don't bring prohibited items next time, it will be difficult for us to do so. The Snake Clan said arrogantly.
The people around were all disgusted, there were no prohibited items at all, and it wasn't that this group of guys wanted to fill their pockets.
The old man also knew this, but he would have to live here in the future, so he could only endure it. Said respectfully: "Yes, yes, Lord Snake." ”
After saying that, he dragged his grumpy grandson through the city gate.
It seems that this person of the Snake Clan is really not a good person. Xie Hao said with emotion. Then they also walked through the city gate, and the two Snake Clan members wanted to stop Xie Hao in the spirit of everyone's share and never fail, but they couldn't move directly under the pressure of Xie Hao's deliberate release, so the plan to fill their pockets fell through Xie Hao's place.
The two Dark Snake Clansmen knew that Xie Hao was not easy to mess with, so they let Xie Hao go this time, and they were thinking about it in their hearts. Unite some brothers to find trouble for Xie Hao in the town. Xie Hao naturally saw the thoughts of the two, but now he still has to inquire about the news of the young master of the Snake Clan, and he has no time to play with the little soldiers. Otherwise, the coercion just now could have directly shocked them into flesh.
Xie Hao ignored the two janitors who were intimidated by his might, and swaggered into the city gate. ushered in the attention of the surrounding crowd.
Could this boy be some big man in the Snake Clan? It was not exploited. The crowd was talking.
Xie Hao didn't care about these eyes and discussions at all, and walked towards the inn in the city by himself.
As soon as Xie Hao walked into the inn, he was greeted by a sharp-eyed Xiao Er. Said enthusiastically: "Guest officer, please inside." Please ask the guest officer whether he is a top hat or a hotel. ”
"Let's stay at the hotel." Xie Hao felt that he should find a foothold first, and then inquire about the news.
"Okay, guest officer, please upstairs." Xiao Er took Xie Hao upstairs to lead it.
Just as the two of them were about to walk to the second floor. Suddenly there was a shout of cheers outside the door.
"Little Er, hurry up and prepare some guest rooms for the masters, and then prepare good wine and food. Slippery point. A teenager stood in the doorway and shouted, his temper was as bad as he was.
Xie Hao was also a little curious, who lived in a store, and his temper was so stinky. Turning his head, he didn't expect it to be a familiar face. That teenager was the boy who was almost on the verge of a big fight in the convoy that had been stopped and exploited by the janitors before. Presumably the goods were robbed, and the temper is so stinky, let's take the shopkeeper out of anger.
"Tianlin. Learn to control your anger. The old man in the lead first scolded the young man, and then turned his head to apologize to the shopkeeper on the counter platform and said, "Brother Liu, I'm sorry." It didn't go well. The kid has a bad temper. ”
The shopkeeper also seemed to understand the reason, and did not blame Tianlin, and laughed it off. "Teenagers just have to be impulsive, this is young. The little two in my store really should be a little more troublesome. Ha ha. ”
"It's not a little slippery to work. Don't let Brother Xu wait. The shopkeeper scolded Xiao Er lightly.
"Uncle Xu and everyone, please go upstairs." Xiao Er beckoned everyone to go upstairs. Obviously, this Uncle Xu is a frequent visitor here, and he is very familiar with the shopkeeper and Xiao Er.
"Guest officer, please come here." Xiao Er led Xie Hao to a guest room.
Xiao Er pushed open the door. Out of work ethic, there was a burst of praise for the house: "Guest, every one of our rooms is carefully furnished. It can definitely meet the requirements of every guest officer. If you are not satisfied, we can replace it with another room for free. ”
The layout of the room is simple and clean, Xie Hao walked towards the window in the room, and found that the window was facing the street, for this, Xie Hao is most satisfied with this, he can pay attention to the situation outside the inn at any time, if there is an enemy coming, he can also know as soon as possible, in order to make countermeasures.
Xie Hao nodded, "I'm very satisfied with this room, I don't need to change it." ”
Xie Hao casually threw Xiao Er a gold coin as a reward. Xiao Er took the coin and became more and more respectful. It is my duty to introduce the room to the guest officer and provide free room change service. Usually few people will give a reward for this, and with such a big gift, Xie Hao is still the first person.
"Guest officer, look at what else you need." Xiao Er asked more respectfully.
"Not for the time being, you can retreat first. Let me know when we're ready to eat. Xie Hao waved his hand and asked Xiao Er to step back.
"Yes." Xiao Er withdrew from the room when he heard this, and thoughtfully helped Xie Hao close the door.
As soon as Xiao Er left, Xie Hao checked the room, and when he went out, he had to guard against people.
After Xie Hao's inspection, he didn't find anything abnormal, it seemed to be just a simple inn. After checking that it was no different, Xie Hao walked to the window to observe the surrounding situation. But the purpose is that the snake clan oppresses the common people and collects a lot of money, which is unsightly.
Just as Xie Hao was paying attention to the robbers outside the window, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Xie Hao asked vigilantly.
"Guest officer, it's me, the former junior second. It's time for the meal. Xiao Er outside the door replied respectfully, there was a large amount of money before, Xiao Er for Xie Hao's matter, Xiao Er is now doing his best, trying his best, hoping to have another chance to get a reward.
"Yes, got it." Xie Hao responded. Moved the chair back to its place, and the door opened.
Xiao Er was waiting at the door, and under Xie Hao's signal, he led Xie Hao towards the downstairs dining area.
Xiao Er's eyes were sharp, and he saw an empty table at once, and hurriedly trotted over, wiped the table and chairs, and beckoned Xie Hao to come over.
"Why is this kid Wang Er working so hard, it seems that he has met a rich man." Xiao Er's real name is even Wang Er, so hard to please him, naturally fell into the eyes of the shopkeeper and the other Xiao Er, everyone is a person who eats this line of food, it is not difficult to guess that the guest official Wang Er is greeting now is a rich man. But even if he knew, the other juniors would not rob the guests, this is Wang Er's guest, and it is not in accordance with the rules to snatch the guests. Shopkeeper Liu will not care how much reward Wang Er can get.
Xie Hao sat in his seat, took the menu, and reported some of the inn's signature dishes.
After Wang Er wrote it down, he took the initiative to help Xie Hao urge the food.
At the urging of Wang Er, a table of dishes was soon placed in front of Xie Hao.
"Guest officer, you can call me again if you have something." After the dishes were served, Wang Er retired, after all, there was more than one guest in the entire inn, Xie Hao.
"Grandpa, why did you confiscate the goods for nothing, why didn't you let me do it, it's not that we can't kill him." Coincidentally, the convoy of the young man who had a stinky face at the door of the inn was dining at the table next to Xie Hao.
Xie Hao also had to sigh with emotion, it seems that he still has a lot of fate with these people. At the gate of the city, this group of people was exploited in the previous one of them, and then, when they wanted to stay in the hotel, this group of people also stayed here, and now when they eat by themselves, this group of people is also eating, and they are at their own table.
When the old man heard the young man's words, he suddenly burst out and slapped his palm heavily on the table. "I'm such an adult, and I still don't care about things. Even if you really kill those people, and then, where to escape. Killing these minions will only make you a prop for the prestige of the Hades Snake Clan, what use can it be. ”
The old man's scolding became louder and louder, attracting the side eyes of many people.
"Brother Xu, children are not sensible, just talk about it." Shopkeeper Liu saw that the situation here was getting worse and worse, and hurriedly came over to persuade him. It's good that there are no people from the Snake Clan in the inn now, otherwise if the people of the Snake Clan hear this, there will inevitably be some trouble.
Xu Hai also realized that he was a little too much, and he was also angry just now, so he didn't notice the surrounding occasions. Now after being reminded by Brother Liu, he was also awakened, and hurriedly lowered his voice.
It seems that this Snake Clan is really domineering. From Xu Hai's expression, and the scene that happened at the gate of the city. And when Xu Hai scolded just now, the people around him all showed hatred. In addition, Xie Hao also discovered a strange phenomenon.
Xie Hao sat by the window, and through the window he could see the scene outside the window. Just now, a large number of people from the Snake Clan were robbing on the street, it can be said that they robbed one when they saw one, and obediently gave enough property to the satisfaction of the Snake Clan, and then they stopped, and if they deviated or delayed slightly, they smashed the shop directly, just like a devil entering the village. But on the street, only Shopkeeper Liu's inn has not been ransacked, which is a bit strange, is it possible that this Shopkeeper Liu and the Snake Clan still have some deals, it seems that he will find a way to get out of Wang Er's side later.
After dinner, Xie Hao casually made an excuse and summoned Wang Er to his room.
"Wang Er, you should have been working here for a long time." Xie Hao asked.
When Wang Er saw Xie Hao ask like this, he knew that Xie Hao had some questions to ask him, and Wang Er was not surprised, this kind of thing is very common, especially in places like inns. So Wang Er immediately returned, "Well, I have been working here for more than ten years, and I am very familiar with this place. ”
"Well, then I'll ask you something, as long as your answer satisfies me. These five gold coins are yours. Xie Hao took out five gold coins from his money bag and placed them on the table.
Wang Er's eyes are about to glow, this is a full five gold coins, he can only have a gold coin if he saves money for a year, this reward is too high. I must know everything when I meet you. (To be continued......)
