Chapter 568: Murder

According to Jia Zhou's temper, if he was in Pingcheng, he would definitely kill this shopkeeper, and the little merchant untouchables would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him!

But this is Youzhou, he remembered that Zhao Junsheng had warned him before to restrain his subordinates, although he was not afraid of Zhao Junsheng, but his status had reached his level, if it was not necessary, it was best not to have a head-on conflict with Zhao Junsheng.

Jia Zhou endured it, stretched out his hand to stop his eunuch's plan to send someone to drive away all the guests of the inn, he immediately changed his face, smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Okay, just according to what you said, give the remaining rooms to our family!" ”

The shopkeeper regretted it, he saw that these people were arrogant and domineering, not easy people, he didn't want these people to live in at the moment, but he had already said everything before, if he didn't let these people move in, he would be the one who was to lose, and these people really wanted to make trouble, and he would only suffer the loss.

In desperation, the shopkeeper could only agree, "Okay, there are three more rooms, if you want to stay, please pay for the room first!" ”

The little eunuch in charge of the negotiation said: "My family is to supervise the army by the emperor's edict, and all the expenses of this trip are borne by the Youzhou Assassin Mansion, and the shopkeeper can send someone to find the Youzhou Assassin Mansion to meet the account!" ”

The expression on the shopkeeper's face froze for a few seconds, and then he said with an embarrassed expression: "The official said that he was laughing, the Assassin's Mansion is a majestic yamen, just for a few small money, you asked the villain to go to the Assassin's Mansion to ask for money?" The villain's status is low, if he goes to assassinate Shifu, who will pay attention to the villain? ”

The little eunuch was furious: "Bold, do you still think that our family will rely on your account?" ”

"No, no, no, the official misunderstood, it's just a few small coins, and there are much more than this money that fell out of your fingers, so why do you bother the villain?"

Jia Zhou waved his hand: "Forget it, give money!" ”

The little eunuch reluctantly gave a handful of copper coins, and the shopkeeper took it and looked at it and asked, "I wonder how long the guest will stay?" ”

"A month!"

"A month? This room is too little, right? The shopkeeper put on a look of embarrassment again.

The little eunuch said angrily: "Give you so much first, if you serve well, you will not lose a penny, and there will be a reward, if you serve badly, you don't want to get a penny!" ”

When encountering this kind of customer, the shopkeeper can only admit that he is unlucky, and he took Jia Zhou and others to open the doors of the three rooms with a wave of anger in his heart, and when he turned around and walked back, he looked at a handful of copper coins in his hand, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "It's still an official master, just give such a little money, and it's his way to slam the door!" ”

In the room, the eunuchs quickly inspected and cleaned up the room, and Jia Zhou instructed a soldier: "Go and tell General Qu Jin to control the front and back of the inn, the left and right sides of the inn, and there must be people standing guard in the lobby, back kitchen, backyard, aisle, corridor, and even outside the latrine, and outsiders are not allowed to move around at will!" ”

"Yes, father-in-law!"

After a while, all the three hundred soldiers brought by Jia Zhou were dispatched to defend the inside and outside of the inn impenetrable, and some of the guests who were sleeping in the guest room heard the sound and opened the door to see, this look, all the guests were frightened, why did so many soldiers and horses come?

Some of the guests couldn't sit still, fearing trouble, so they packed their bags and went out of the room, but were stopped by the soldiers standing guard.

"What for?"

"Master Huijun, the villain is from Yuyang County, come here to do a little business!"

"Lao Tzu asked you why are you going?"

The customer hurriedly said, "The villain goes to check out!" ”

"Why check out?"

"Back to the military master, the villain's business is done, and he has to return to his hometown and go home, so naturally he has to check out!"

The soldier was satisfied, and waved his hand for the others to let them go.

In less than a moment, all the guests in the inn came to the lobby counter with their luggage to check out, and the shopkeeper knew that Jia Zhou and these people were making trouble here, if it weren't for so many soldiers, how could the guests all check out?

In the guest room, a little eunuch reported to Jia Zhou: "Master, the guests have all taken the initiative to check out, and there is no one left!" You're still smart, we only spent a little money to live in the whole inn! ”

Jia Zhou was very proud, and said with a smile: "The little untouchables dare to be presumptuous in front of this prison army, and if they don't teach him some lessons, this evil breath in the heart of this prison army is difficult to come out!" Go, let the shopkeeper prepare the meal, the prison army and the soldiers are hungry, you go and tell the shopkeeper that there are more than 300 soldiers and generals under the command of the prison army, if one of them is not full, the prison army will let his family die! ”

"Yes, sir!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was anxious on the spot, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, not to mention that he was not an arm, not even a little finger, how could he fight a prison army, he had to appoint all the food and dishes in the inn to be moved to the back kitchen and cooked, which could only barely let these three hundred people eat well.

Some of the soldiers who didn't have enough to eat made a fuss, and the shopkeeper had to move the wine from the cellar out to make amends to these military masters, and finally appeased these grumpy generals.

At night, the chef came over to the shopkeeper and said: "The owner, there is no grain in stock, and the vegetables are gone, if you don't prepare tonight, it will be too late to buy again tomorrow morning. ”

"Alright, I got it! Little two and little three, you two go to prepare the carriage and follow me to buy ingredients! ”

Soon after the shopkeeper left, three drunken soldiers went to the backyard toilet to pee, and when they were walking back with their shoulders crossed, they saw a graceful figure flash under a window.

"Hey, hey, brother, did you see that just now? There seems to be a woman in that room! A soldier asked, patting his companion on the shoulder.

"Hiccup······ Is it? It's been a long time since we've touched a woman! ”

The third soldier: "Or······ Let's go over to the window and have a look? ”

The three of them looked at each other at the same time, with meaningful smiles on their faces, and walked over together.

Soon, a heart-rending woman's cry could be heard in the room, but the woman's mouth was quickly blocked by something and she couldn't shout.

The shopkeeper was busy until midnight to finish preparing the ingredients, washed up and went back to the room to rest, and when he passed by the window of his daughter's room, he found that the light was still on inside, so he asked, "Daughter, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

I called three times in a row, but no one answered, and even if I slept again, it was impossible not to wake up.

The shopkeeper walked to the door and was about to knock, but when he found the door open, he frowned and shouted, "Daughter, my father has come in!" ”

After a few seconds, the shopkeeper pushed the door into the room, and when he looked up, he saw his daughter hanging naked on the beam, and he was stunned on the spot, and then pounced on him and cried: "Daughter, daughter, ······ daughter"

At midnight the next day, Zhao Junsheng rode a horse with teeth and returned to the Assassin's Mansion from the military camp outside the city to prepare to deal with the backlog of official documents for two days.

When he arrived at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, Chang Kun waved his horse whip in front of him and shouted: "Get out of the way, the general will return home!" ”

When the people saw Zhao Junsheng returning home with the soldiers, they all made way of a passage.

Zhao Junsheng jumped off the horse and was about to ask what happened, when a man in his forties who looked like a shopkeeper dropped his drumstick and ran over, but was stopped by Chang Kun and his own soldiers.

The innkeeper cried: "General, the villain is wronged, the villain has a great grievance, please make the decision for the villain!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and motioned for Chang Kun to let the person come over, and asked, "Who are you?" What's wronged? ”

The innkeeper hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The villain's name is Wen Yan, and he is the proprietor and shopkeeper of the Wen Kee Inn at No. 5 East Third Street!" Yesterday afternoon, a group of palace people came to the small shop, and there were hundreds of generals, the leader claimed to be a supervisor, to charter the small shop, but the small shop has been full, only three rooms are left, these people are arrogant and arrogant, at first let the villain drive all the guests out, the villain is open to do business, how can the guests be driven away? So Wanyan refused, but I didn't expect them to send soldiers to guard the inside and outside of the inn, and those guests were scared away when they saw the soldiers and generals one by one! ”

"That's not all, the villain took two helpers to buy ingredients at night, and when the villain returned to the backyard of the inn, he found that my poor daughter had been ruined by those hateful generals, and the daughter hanged herself in shame, please ask the general to call the shots for the villain!"

Zhao Junsheng quietly listened to the statement of the innkeeper, frowned and asked: "The local county government should be responsible for the first trial of ordinary criminal cases, and if you want to file a complaint and avenge your grievances, you should go to the Jixian county office!" ”

Wen Yan wiped his tears and said: "The villain has already reported to the official, the county government's head catcher took people to investigate the case, but he just surveyed the scene, and the cause of his daughter's death was checked by the courtier, and the head catcher said to the villain that the other party's origin was too big, and the county government and the Taishou Mansion were afraid that they would not dare to take the case, so the villain came directly to the Assassin's Mansion and begged the general to call the shots!" ”

Zhao Junsheng touched his chin and said to Wen Yan, "Shopkeeper Wen, right?" There are rules and procedures for the government to do things, and they can't be messed around. In this way, you go to the county government first, and if the county government does not dare to accept the case, you will go to the Taishou Mansion; If the Taishou Mansion doesn't dare to take on this case, you come to the Assassin Mansion again, and then General Ben will naturally make the decision for you! ”

"Yes, yes, the villain listens to the general, so he will go to the county government to beat the drum and voice the grievances!"

Ordinary criminal cases, not to mention that they will happen every day within a state city, but one or two will happen every three or five times, which is a normal thing, as a state assassin history, a general of Zhengdong, and the military governor of Youliao, naturally he will not pay special attention to an ordinary criminal case, but the alleged party in this case is not an ordinary identity, and Zhao Junsheng is still the last one to know in the entire assassin's mansion.

Zhao Junsheng sent Wen Yan away, and as soon as he walked into the Assassin's Mansion, he saw Dongfang Chen greet him: "I've seen the general!" Does the general know about the murder at the Wen Kee Inn? ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, "What does Mr. think of this?" ”

Dongfang Chen said: "My subordinates think that the general should still wait and see. It's not a big deal, it's just because its party is Jia Zhou that it has become an extremely sensitive matter, and through this matter, the general can also see the character and talent of the officials below! ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Mr.'s words are very much in line with my liking!" Hahaha······"
