Chapter 421: Is Begging for Mercy Useful?
"Where?" Mu Li stopped the man.
The guests in the inn pointed and pointed, feeling that Mu Li was unreasonable. "I said, girl, what are you doing here? Everyone is temporary, so why make such a fuss. ”
"Yes, girl, be forgiving and forgiving."
Everyone was deceived by the kind side of the innkeeper, this time it was Mu Li, and if Mu Li didn't do it, he would attack others. The innkeeper will not spare anyone in the inn.
Over the years, the innkeeper has relied on this method to collect a lot of money, and his method is very clever, every time he does not take all of the guests' money, but takes a part of it so that the guests will not notice.
The biggest mistake this time was that Hu Stubble fell in love with Mu Li, and peeked at Mu Li taking a bath in broad daylight, which made Chu Lingyi catch it.
In the face of other guests' doubts, it is a good thing for the innkeeper to ask them for help. "Yes, girl, I don't know where I offended you." The innkeeper pretended to be wronged, begged Mu Li for mercy, and asked Mu Li to let go of the stubble.
"Less nonsense, it's you who do bad things, not me."
Mu Li walked to the counter without saying a word, opened the drawer and took out all the contents inside. The innkeeper was also really stupid enough to let the stubble steal something and not hide it, but put it in a drawer.
A large pile of gold and silver treasures were piled on the countertop, and there were rings, earrings, and jewels worn by women, and it was hard to say that these were all owned by the innkeeper, and that a big man would need these jewels. The other guests were dumbfounded and ran to their rooms to check for missing items.
The innkeeper never thought that Mu Li would go to the counter, but now he will suffer, and he is afraid that he will not be able to explain it clearly.
"My bracelet is missing."
I have a pair of earrings missing. ”
Many of the guests had lost their small belongings, and they realized that Mu Li was for their good, so they asked the innkeeper to return the things to them.
The innkeeper knew that he would not be able to run away at this time, so he could only obediently return the things to them, and the most important thing now was to save his life. The innkeeper saw that Chu Lingyi was not a foolish person, and he estimated that he was about to plant it in his hands.
I really didn't expect Hu Jiaozi to be so effective in his usual work, and he was also a waste in the face of Chu Lingyi at this time, and the innkeeper regretted that he didn't invite a more powerful person to come at that time.
"It turned out to be a black shop, but fortunately I didn't lose my life."
The guests all said that they had to deal with the innkeeper by Chu Lingyi, otherwise they would not be able to spend this night with peace of mind.
The innkeeper was flustered, he had never encountered such a scene, he thought that he was in control of everyone's money, but now his life was in the hands of others.
The innkeeper threw himself on his knees, and without saying a word, he kowtowed. Mu Li has long been used to this kind of trick, and Mu Li will not bypass him so easily.
It was obviously a little inappropriate to rush back to the prince's mansion so late, so Chu Lingyi tied up the innkeeper and let Liuyun look at him. In this way, Mu Li can rest, and the other guests of the inn can sleep peacefully.
Stubble was tied up with the innkeeper and placed in the same room, guarded by Liuyun.
The innkeeper wanted to buy Liuyun, but Liuyun ignored him at all, Liuyun had followed the prince for so many years, how could he betray the prince because of a little benefit. "Stay in peace, don't try to play tricks." Liuyun hated them for arguing, so he gagged their mouths as well.
Chu Lingyi was afraid that there would be more parties in the inn, so he stayed outside Mu Li's room to escort Mu Li.
Xiaohong was afraid that the prince would be tired, so she invited Chu Lingyi to sit down. "Lord Wang, come in and sit, don't catch a cold outside."
After this toss, Mu Li lost his sleepiness and lay on the bed in a daze, Mu Li was thinking about whether he had misunderstood Chu Lingyi and whether he should apologize to Chu Lingyi.
"No, the king will wait outside." Mu Li was also tired all the way, and Chu Lingyi didn't want to make Mu Li feel bad because of his appearance.
Xiaohong opened the door, and Mu Li glanced at it. This night, Chu Lingyi was tired enough, and he had to guard himself outside, which was indeed a little embarrassing.
"Go to sleep, I don't need anyone here, just have Xiaohong here."
Chu Lingyi understood Mu Li's intentions, he was afraid that he would be tired, but Mu Li's safety, Chu Lingyi had to take care of it, he had to be foolproof, and he must not let Mu Li be hurt in the slightest.
Mu Li asked Xiaohong to turn off the lights, and saw that Chu Lingyi, who was not there, was still there, so he got up and gave his cloak to Chu Lingyi. "Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to escort me back after you catch a cold."
"The princess's hard-mouthed appearance is really cute."
Mu Lipeng slammed the door shut, and for some reason his heart was beating so fast. Mu Li slapped his face to sober himself up, and definitely not to fall into Chu Lingyi's trap.
Mu Li, Mu Li, isn't the pain before enough? Do you have to let yourself be bruised all over your body to give up?
Mu Li looked at Chu Lingyi's figure outside the door, and his heart hurt inexplicably. Why did he try so hard to control his emotions, he couldn't suppress it as soon as he came to Chu Lingyi.
The innkeeper has been waiting for Liuyun to doze off, and if Liuyun dozes off, he can find a way to escape with Stubble. It's a pity that he thought wrong, Liu Yun was Chu Lingyi's personal guard, how could he doze off at such an important moment.
The shopkeeper had already sneaked away from the back door when Chu Lingyi came, don't look at him stupidly in the whole store, he is actually the smartest, and he knows that saving his life is the most important. So the innkeeper didn't expect the shopkeeper to bring someone to save him.
"Look at what you see." The innkeeper's careful thoughts, Liuyun had already figured it out. The prince ordered to guard these two people, and Liuyun did not dare to slack off.
As soon as dawn came, Chu Lingyi planned to hand over these two people to the government and let the government deal with them. As for the money they embezzled before, they had to go to heaven and hand it over to the imperial court into the treasury.
The other people in the inn were all thinking that the innkeeper had embezzled so many things and took their jewelry, just to make him pay for some losses.
It's just that they saw that Chu Lingyi didn't seem to be an ordinary person, and they were afraid that he was not so good at talking, so they discussed, and when Chu Lingyi fell asleep, they took all the silver on the counter and divided it. Anyway, the innkeeper has been arrested, so this money can't be deposited in Chu Lingyi's hands.
"How? Are they sleeping? ”
A man opened the door a crack, looked at Mu Li's room, and saw that Mu Li was guarded outside the door, so he hurriedly closed the door.
