Chapter 62: What the Hostel Sees

Ancient road, spring breeze, riding a white horse.

Sunset, westset, boy.

Chen Tang rode a horse to a wharf in Liaodong County, and this wharf was called Lushun in later generations, from Lushun Wharf to Huangxian County, Donglai County, Qingzhou, and then from Huangxian County back to Fangqiu, on the way can save half of the journey.

At this time, the dock was closed, and Chen Tang returned and rode to the nearby area to find a hotel to stay in.

As the night darkened, Chen Tang looked for many hotels, all of which said that the guests were full, and Chen Tang had no choice but to look for the next one.

Coming to the door of a hotel, the shopkeeper ran forward attentively and said with a flattering smile: "Childe, do you want to play the tip or live in the hotel?" ”

Chen Tang took the horsewhip, pointed at his head, and said dissatisfiedly: "You kid has no eyesight, the sky is getting dark, and you don't live in the store?" Why don't you just go to sleep on the streets after eating? ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Childe misunderstood, it's just that the rooms in this store are full, and if Childe wants to stay in the hotel, I'm afraid he will have to find the next one." ”

"The room is full again? So unlucky. Chen Tang said helplessly: "Business is too good this season, I have asked five or six hotels that are full, you let me find the next one, are you a pastime......

I'm not picky, just have a place to stay, just build me a floor. ”

"Floors?" The shopkeeper scratched the back of his head, nodded and smiled: "As long as the son doesn't dislike it...... All into. ”

Chen Tang jumped off the horse, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Prepare a table of wine and food for me, and take care of my horse by the way." ”

"Alright, guest officer...... Inside please. The shopkeeper led the horse and sang loudly.

Chen Tang walked in, the shopkeeper led the horse to the stable, and another shopkeeper hurriedly wiped the table, brought a plate of broad beans, a plate of peanuts, poured a glass of boiled water, and said politely: "The guest officer sits here." ”

"Good wine and good food are served to my son." Chen Tang remembered that he had been sleeping in the open for more than half a year, and he hadn't eaten a good meal, so he slapped his belly and said loudly: "Hurry up, my son is not bad for money." ”

As soon as Chen Tang's words fell, the diners in the hotel all cast their eyes, and saw that Chen Tang was dressed luxuriously, wearing a jade crown on his head and a jade pendant around his waist, and couldn't help but show greedy eyes.

"When—"

Chen Tang noticed their greedy gaze, and regretted that he was too ostentatious, so he snorted coldly, untied the sword from his waist and threw it on the table.

The diners smiled meaningfully at each other, retracted their greedy gazes slowly, and buried their heads in laughter and wine.

Chen Tang sat down, reached out and grabbed a few peanuts, threw them into his mouth, chewed the peanuts, and said lightly: "Everyone is going south and north to beg for a living, no one is easy, if you don't open your eyes...... staring at Ben Gongzi blindly, Ben Gongzi can clearly tell him that Ben Gongzi's temper is not very good, fortunately he was able to return to his hometown during the amnesty, and Ben Gongzi doesn't want the sword in his hand to stick to blood again before he goes back. ”

For Chen Tang's words, the diners scoffed at them, just as Chen Tang deliberately intimidated them, and didn't pay attention to them at all, talking and laughing with his companions, scribbling and guessing wine, and shouting loudly.

These businessmen are doing a lucrative business, selling ginseng, mink and other goods from the Northeast to the Central Plains, and then selling silk, ceramics and other goods from the Central Plains to the Northeast, earning the difference in price, and they can get more than 20 times the profit by going back and forth casually.

Therefore, countless businessmen are scrambling to be the first to rush around.

But once there are more peers, some dirty things will inevitably happen between them, such as black eating black, black hands, and stabbing knives in the back, which are commonplace.

And today, when they saw that Chen Tang was alone, with or without guards, they had crooked thoughts, and naturally they would not be timid and retreat because of Chen Tang's words or two.

Seeing that they didn't care, Chen Tang shook his head helplessly, and didn't bother to say anything, after all, good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts.

If they really wanted to make money and kill them, Chen Tang would not let them go with mercy.

After dinner, the shopkeeper came to clean up the table, and said to Chen Xiang in a low voice: "Childe, these businessmen have already had bad intentions towards you, I opened a small door for you in the back, you can leave quickly while it is convenient......

"I'm not afraid of the shadow crooked ......" Chen Tang patted his full stomach, and didn't care: "Why do I want to leave?" Am I still afraid that they will not succeed! ”

The shopkeeper hated iron and said: "You can kill you if you want to, I just don't want to kill people in the store and hinder my business."

I can say in advance, no matter how you howl and call in the middle of the night, I will not go out to teach you, and you will be asleep. ”

Chen Tang was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "You said it so clearly, does it often happen in your store?" You have to open a black shop here......"

"You guy really doesn't know how to be good." The shopkeeper said dissatisfiedly: "Our hostel is close to the dock, these merchants left early before dawn, and when we called the room to find the deceased, they had already boarded the boat, so do you know who the murderer is?" Therefore, the county magistrates often turn a blind eye to this matter, and it is not over. ”

Chen Tang said incredulously: "I'm thorough, your county order is really mediocre, I'm afraid that the businessmen who come and go don't respect him less, he just doesn't care, and he is not afraid that the businessmen in the future will not honor him." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, lowered his voice and smiled: "Unfilial? Then do you still want to take a boat, without his guide, you can't get into the dock, let alone transport goods. ”

Chen Tang slapped his thigh, this county order is really a fucking talent, and this method can also be thought of, no matter how it looks like a customs inspection in later generations.

So he asked, "Then if I want to take a boat, don't I have to find him to open a way!" ”

"Childe doesn't need it." The shopkeeper replied: "Childe's road guide was issued by the Taishou Mansion, and the county order naturally didn't dare to stop you." ”

Chen Tang thought about it, the Taishou in the Western Han Dynasty still had some rights, and it was more than enough to get rid of a county order, and the local county order would naturally not be stupid enough to hit the muzzle of the gun and find himself unhappy.

Although Gan Yanshou has been dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

Probably understanding the dirty things between these merchants, Chen Tang didn't put it on his body, and asked the shopkeeper to lay a bunk for himself, and then get some hot water to take a bath.

The shopkeeper put together a few desks on the right and made a bed for Chen Tang.

When Chen Tang returned from bathing, he found that the door was closed, and the diners who had eaten had gone back to their rooms.

Chen Tang got into the quilt, put his hands behind his head as pillows, and said with a smile: "How do I feel like a janitor now!" ”
