Chapter 313: Good Intentions in Exchange for Peace
"Uncle, do you know how much we have been wronged this time?"
Xue Zhao wiped his eyes after speaking, and Xue Lai also looked aggrieved beside him.
Ni Li looked at the two of them, and he really felt troublesome in his heart.
"Second nephew, it's not that my uncle doesn't help you, my uncle is a businessman, if this matter spreads, my business won't be able to do it in the future. You should also be able to see that all the guests who come to me are rich or noble, and my signature is that the environment is elegant, the rooms are clean, and the hotel is safe. You also understand and understand Uncle, this matter is waiting for them to leave, can't you do it on the road? ”
Xue Zhao and Xue Lai didn't worry when they heard Ni Li finish speaking, Xue Zhao leaned over to him and said, "Uncle, we know that you are a businessman, don't you have to rely on the master for this business?" My grandfather and my father are classmates, they have a good relationship, besides, they often move around, if something happens in your store, your grandfather can also give you a pocket in my father's face. ”
After Xue Zhao finished speaking, he also took out two silver tickets from his sleeve.
"Uncle, you are too busy on weekdays, and we don't dare to disturb you, this is a little bit of our heart, you take it to buy tea."
Xue Lai also hurriedly smiled at Ni Li and said, "This is a little filial piety on our part, please accept it." ”
Ni Li squinted his eyes and glanced at his silver ticket, but he didn't have any subordinates, but took a sip of tea by himself.
Xue Lai and Xue Zhao saw that Ni Li was not interested in the three hundred taels of silver tickets, and the two glanced at each other, and Xue Zhao showed a look of annoyance in his eyes.
Xue Lai shook his head slightly, Xue Zhao temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said: "Uncle, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, our little intention is to give you tea, and after the matter is completed, we will thank you again." ”
Ni Lili's eyelids finally lifted, and there was a slight smile on his face.
Xue Zhao put the silver ticket on the table, picked up the teacup and said to him: "We two juniors, let's replace the wine with tea, I will toast you first!" ”
After Wan Lin and Wan Zhang finished buying the medicine, they didn't walk around the street for long, because they were all nearby county seats, and the things were not much new, almost all of them were similar.
The two of them each bought some fruit snacks and some gadgets to pass the time, and then went back.
"Why did you come back so soon?"
Fu Xiaojiu felt that they had gone to the time of a stick of incense.
Wan Lin said: "This is no different from our county seat, we just buy back what we should buy." You see, we bought your favorite food, as well as these gadgets, to relieve your boredom. ”
Fu Xiaojiu took the gadgets handed over by Wan Lin.
Wanlin bought all educational toys, such as Huarong Dao, Luban lock, tangram and the like, which can indeed let Fu Xiaojiu pass some time.
Nianzhen was still asleep, she was tired.
"I'm going to ask the guy to help with the medicine." Wan Zhang saw that Nianzhen was sleeping deeply, both relieved and distressed, and walked out quickly with the medicine.
Fu Xiaojiu pulled Wan Lin and asked in a low voice at this time, "Have you seen any thieves with eyebrows and rat eyes?" ”
Wan Lin shook his head, "I paid attention when I went out and came back, and I didn't find any suspicious people. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said reassuringly: "That's good, I hope we can sleep peacefully today and go smoothly tomorrow." ”
After Wan Chang came back after instructing the guys, he said to them: "I told the guys that the dishes will be served directly later, let's eat a bite first, and when my lady wakes up, I will order a separate meal for her." ”
The three of them finished eating quietly, and after a while, Nianzhen also woke up.
After Nianzhen woke up, she said that she had no appetite and didn't want to eat, so Wan Zhang fed her medicine first, and washed her fruit, Nianzhen barely ate a pear, and then said that she was sleepy.
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin didn't bother them anymore and returned to their rooms.
After returning to the room, Fu Xiaojiu also deliberately looked out of the window, checked the outside environment, and after seeing the situation outside, Fu Xiaojiu said vigilantly: "There are eaves outside this inn that can be climbed, let's plug in the window to sleep." ”
Wan Lin looked at the door and said: "I think the door of this room is stronger than the previous inn, and this inn is full of people with heads and faces, and no one will break into the door if they don't think about it." ”
Fu Xiaojiu suddenly laughed, "Hehe, we're all a little overly nervous." My heart didn't panic, I don't think we'll be okay anymore. ”
Wan Lin said with a relaxed expression: "I don't think we should be all soldiers. Lady, I will read the book, you lie down and rest first. ”
Fu Xiaojiu was indeed a little tired, so he lay down with his clothes first.
Wan Lin has been reading books and saw that Fu Xiaojiu was still asleep, she didn't expect that she could sleep for so long.
Wan Zhang had also been reading, and he felt a little tired at this time, so he lay on the table and took a nap.
Not long after he lay down, there was a knock on the door.
The guy said politely: "Guest officer, I brought you hot tea and hot water." ”
The service of this inn was very good, Wan Zhang opened the door without any precautions, and took a pot of hot tea and a large pot of hot water.
Wan Lin also received hot tea and hot water from his buddy, and he originally wanted to rest, but it happened that tea came, so he planned to drink some tea and continue reading.
"Who was it just now?" Fu Xiaojiu woke up in a daze.
Wan Lin said that it was a guy who came to deliver hot tea and hot water, and Fu Xiaojiu got out of bed.
"I just want to wash my face."
"The lady just woke up, let's take a sip of hot tea first." Wanlin intimately gave Fu Xiaojiu a cup of tea.
The tea was warm, just right for the entrance, Fu Xiaojiu took the teacup and drank the tea.
Wan Lin drank a cup of tea and continued to read the book.
Fu Xiaojiu came to Wan Lin after washing, gently put his hands on Wan Lin's shoulders, and gently rubbed his shoulders for him.
Wan Lin's mind suddenly flew from reading a book to Fu Xiaojiu's gentleness, and slowly closed his eyes.
Fu Xiaojiu said softly: "Don't be too tired, don't be too tired, let's rest early tonight." ”
Wan Lin nodded slowly, "Well, I listen to the lady." ”
Wan Lin listened to Fu Xiaojiu's words, and rested at the end of the day.
Wan Chang also lay down almost at the same time, and several people soon fell asleep.
The four of them had no sleep all night, and when they woke up, it was already dawn.
As soon as Fu Xiaojiu woke up, he said with emotion: "Sure enough, it is a good inn, and the guest rooms are so quiet both day and night." ”
Wan Lin stretched his waist satisfied, "Yes, I slept exceptionally well last night, and now I am very energetic." ”
After the two of them washed, they were about to go to find Wan Zhang and Nianzhen, but as soon as the two opened the door, they were stunned at the same time.
The reason why the inn is so quiet is not because of how good the sound insulation is, but because the inn is now full of officers and soldiers with weapons!
At the door of each room stood two officers and soldiers with serious expressions like statues, which made people feel awe when they saw it.
"What's going on?"
Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu asked in unison, both feeling that they were not dreaming.
Wan Zhang and Nianzhen also happened to push open the door, and they were immediately startled when they saw the battle in front of them.
The two of them turned their heads to look, only to see Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu standing at the door, and Wan Zhang hurriedly called Wan Lin in a low voice.
"Brother Lin......"
Wan Lin looked at him, shook his head in confusion, and then tentatively walked out of the room.
Wan Lin politely asked an officer and soldier guarding his door, "May I ask what happened here?" Why are there so many officers and soldiers? ”
The officers and soldiers replied with a grim expression: "Last night, when Lord Assassin Shi stayed here, he found that someone had drugged the guest's tea, so he thoroughly investigated this inn, interrogated the shopkeeper, and found that the innkeeper colluded with people to poison several guests here. ”
Listening to the words of the officers and soldiers, Wan Lin and the others immediately gasped.
"Who are they trying to kill?" Fu Xiaojiu immediately asked.
The officers and soldiers looked at her and replied calmly, "It's the four of you." ”
Wan Zhang immediately took a step back in horror and asked in amazement, "What?" What about the hot tea we drank last night...... Are we dead? ”
Nianzhen poked him, "What do you want?" If we die, will we still be able to stand here? These people are officials, not bulls and horses. ”
Wan Zhang reacted immediately, and smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe, yes, you see I'm scared!" ”
"Dare to ask the surname of Assassin Shigui? Can we think of him thanking him for saving his life? Wan Lin asked calmly.
The officers and soldiers replied: "The surname of the assassin is Qin ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a man dressed as a retinue approached.
"All four of you are awake? My lord specially told us not to wake you up, so that you can rest and rest. Now that you are awake, come with me, and you want to see for yourself whether you are safe. ”
The four of them did not dare to hesitate and immediately followed him.
The man led the four to the door of a private room on the first floor.
There were also twenty or thirty officers and soldiers standing on the first floor, and the atmosphere on the entire first floor was more solemn than that on the second floor, and people did not dare to pant loudly.
After entering the private room and seeing the people sitting upright on the upper seat, Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu all showed surprised smiles.
"Lord Qin, it's really you!"
Fu Xiaojiu said excitedly first.
"You saved the lives of all four of us?"
Wan Lin was also extremely excited.
Then the four of them knelt on the ground together and thanked Qin Tingshi.
"Hurry up, a few of you, what someone Qin has done is just a gesture."
Qin Tingshi very humbly helped them up.
Qin Tingshi's eyes were overflowing with gratitude to Fu Xiaojiu, and he said excitedly: "If you want to say thank you, I have to thank Fu Lang Zhongcai!" When I received the order, I thought that my superiors had finally seen my political achievements, and that I had survived half my life as an official. But after I arrived, I learned that it was Fu Langzhong who wrote a letter to Mrs. Huo, asking General Huo to speak well for me in front of the saint, and I had a chance to be promoted. Fulangzhong, you are my nobleman! ”
Fu Xiaojiu thought that Qin Tingshi would not know that his promotion was his own credit, but now that Qin Tingshi was so thanked, Fu Xiaojiu was very embarrassed.
In order not to let Qin Tingshi thank him again, Fu Xiaojiu immediately changed the topic, "Lord Qin, when did you get here yesterday?" How come we don't know at all? Also, how on earth did you find out that someone was poisoning us? ”
