Chapter Seventy-Seven: Something Happened at the Inn
In the inn, Lin Yanzhi, who was carrying a sword, went to Qin Tianze's room opposite and told them what he saw.
Qin Tian'an said: "Don't worry, this inn is small but famous, thieves generally don't make trouble in this inn, they will not do it here at this time, they must be planning to follow us, and then ...... on the road."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a noise downstairs.
The six eyes looked at each other for a moment, although Lin Yanzhi pursed her lips as much as she could, but her slightly trembling shoulders and eyes that turned into two crescents betrayed her.
「…… Of course, there are exceptions to everything." Qin Tianan said unhappily.
They went to the door together and listened attentively, and Lin Yanzhi even secretly poked a hole and peeked.
The little man said to the tall man next to him, "Brother Qing, those two mothers-in-law are here, I followed the trail all the way, it must be right."
The person who was called Brother Qing, carrying a big hammer on his shoulder, grinned: "Ah Chai, catch them, I want one." With a wave of his hand, several rough men behind him immediately stepped forward to search the house.
The shopkeeper, who was counting the accounts, looked up at them, and hit the beads twice, and the guy in the store immediately drew his sword from under the table and surrounded them.
Brother Qing laughed disdainfully, walked up to the shopkeeper, swept away his abacus, and grabbed his collar: "Deaf? Didn't you hear my brother say that his mother-in-law came to your store? Is this the shopkeeper going to be more careful?"
He lifted the shopkeeper and threw it aside, then raised the sledgehammer in his hand and slammed it into the counter, which was split in half in an instant.
When the shopkeeper was about to fall to the ground, he turned around, dodged and kicked the corner of the wall, landed firmly on the table, and took out a small golden abacus from his arms, and played it quickly, and after the last bead was pushed, he looked at him and said, "Two thousand two taels, what you smashed, if you don't pay for it today, don't want to leave."
"Lao Tzu, I found those two mothers-in-law, and then cut you all, Lao Tzu said all of you, including all of you!" Achai laughed, and suddenly moved to the table where the shopkeeper was standing, and cut off a table leg.
The shopkeeper changed the table again: "I haven't seen the mother-in-law in your mouth, the person who comes is a guest, and the store will definitely entertain you." After saying that, they made two more calculations, and the guys began to move, waving their swords at the gang.
Lin Yanzhi was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but want to clap her hands.
Sure enough, it's not easy to open a store in such a deserted place!
Then, Brother Qing took the sledgehammer and spun around, and when he was about to sweep towards the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper jumped sideways to the second floor, put away the small abacus, and slipped out two slender daggers from his sleeves.
Su Leying shouted dissatisfiedly: "It's a big night, why are you so noisy, and the shopkeeper doesn't care?"
In an instant, the two parties who had not given in to each other all stopped, maintained their postures, and looked at her in a daze.
Qin Tianze and the three of them in the room supported their foreheads at the same time: What is she doing when she comes out......
Brother Qing looked at it, pointed at Su Leying and asked, "Ah Chai, this bald person is one of the two mothers-in-law you said?" Have you been hungry for a long time? The other one can't be a toothless arm, right?"
"Huh? When she wiped her ass today, she wasn't so bald." Ah Chai's woodcutter pointed at Su Leying and sneered, "Mother-in-law! Do you think that if you cut your hair, I won't want you? Thinking too much, Lao Tzu is also bald anyway, so I just happened to be a couple with you!"
Su Leying pointed back to the past: "Shameless! If you talk nonsense, I'll ......."
"You can do whatever you want, go with Lao Tzu obediently, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut you to death and bring you back!" Ah Chai laughed arrogantly, and was beaten coldly.
Brother Qing said impatiently, "What nonsense are you talking about with her, quickly find out the other one, let me see what it looks like."
The two parties were about to start fighting again, Qin Tianze suddenly appeared, he flew down, and when he passed by Ah Chai's head, he stepped on it and jumped in front of Su Leying.
"Your Highness...... Ying'er knows that you won't abandon me."
Qin Tianze frowned and said, "Say a few words and go into the room."
Brother Qing at the bottom couldn't help but ask suspiciously
"These days, do you like baldness?"
Then, a bunch of people in the hall came out and shouted in unison, "Protect Your Highness——!
Qin Tianan also came out, leaning on the pillar very leisurely, quietly flicking his fingers at the people below.
Qing Ge and Ah Chai saw that there were more people on the other side, glanced at each other, bounced away at the same time with a tacit understanding, and fled out with their legs, and did not stop until they ran back to the camp.
The two of them were in front of a tent, and you pushed me and hit me, but I didn't dare to be the one who went first.
"Get in." A deep voice came from the tent.
The two of them had no choice but to walk in dejectedly, and Brother Qing kicked Ah Chai: "You provoked it, you go and tell the boss."
Ah Chai snorted, grabbed the head that had few hairs left, lost the momentum he had when he was in the inn before, and said vaguely like a sheep, "Boss, we see His Highness."
The man who sat on the top of the head, who was as strong as an ox, bowed his head and said, "Well, the lord said that let us drag them, and when you see it, you will each lead your men to ambush them along the road."
"Uh, Boss, Boss, we've already met with them."
The man paused and roared, "Then what are you doing back?!"
Brother Qing said very aggrievedly: "Originally, Ah Chai found the inn for the two mothers-in-law, but when I started, I realized that she was originally His Royal Highness's person, and there were many of them later, so we ran back first...... ν.
The man slapped the table angrily: "What inn? The lord said, "Don't hurt your highness's life, do you?"
Ah Chai trembled and said timidly, "What is it called An Inn, don't worry, boss, we haven't even touched a single hair of him."
「…… The shopkeeper is holding a double dagger and a golden abacus?" The man took a deep breath and asked.
Brother Qing's eyes widened: "It's worthy of being the boss, I know this!" He snorted and said, "I smashed a counter, and he actually told me to pay two thousand two taels......
Suddenly, a hidden weapon grazed their necks, and they were just a finger's distance away, and they both had to be reincarnated.
"You might as well die there!" The man roared, "Even the bandits know that the inn can't be moved, it's good that you not only took people there, but also smashed things!"
He said in a deep voice, "Camp, we can't stay in this realm any longer."
Ah Chai was puzzled: "Then what kind of highness, we won't follow?"
"With your mother, even if you rush back now, they will have already left, can we catch up?!" After saying that, he hurriedly wrote a small note, grabbed the pigeon on the side and released it, immediately copied some valuable things, pushed away the two people who were standing stupidly, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
The two came back to their senses and followed out again, but this time it was three people who stood stupidly.
They looked stupidly at the scrawny, calculating man in front of them.
"See, hell, boss, he's the shopkeeper, why did he find it so quickly?" Brother Qing was stunned.
Syllable!
After the last sound of the abacus ended, the shopkeeper slowly raised his head: "The things you have damaged in our store today, plus disturbing the purity of your customers, you will have to pay a total of 22,002 taels."
Brother Qing listened to the mantissa and always felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say, "Why is it two taels again, can you add more, can you make up a whole one?"
Their boss can't wait to kick his mouth crookedly, people are here to collect debts, not to send money!
The shopkeeper nodded, and said very simply, "Your proposal is good, but—no." He tilted his head and glanced back and forth at them, "Dare to make such a fuss in front of me in front of someone in this store, it's not that the second is a long life."
The boss swallowed and said to the two behind him, "Quick, go and bring the silver to the shopkeeper Yan."
"Boss, he's alone, what are you afraid of?"
"Yes, seeing how thin he is, the three of us brothers will go up together, and it would be better to take his dog's life and take his inn again."
Brother Qing and Ah Chai looked left and right, and boldly stepped forward and said.
The shopkeeper Yan seemed to have heard some funny joke
, laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and then he made two more calculations, and suddenly a group of black people came out, each of them holding the other people in the camp hostage, all holding their swords on their necks.
For a time, the sound of help and begging for mercy continued.
Brother Qing finally knew that they were afraid, and immediately went to carry all the silver in front of the shopkeeper Yan.
After that, the shopkeeper Yan slowly counted and counted while making calculations, and asked, "Who is the adult you just mentioned?"
The boss shook his head: "Shopkeeper Yan, it's not that I don't want to say, I really don't know, I've never seen him, we're just responsible for transporting things for them, and we just happened to come here, so the lord let us drag His Highness, this, didn't this drag it too?"
Not only did they not drag it on, but it also made them even more hurried.
"What's going on?"
"This...... Their boxes are sealed with wax, and they are carefully inspected at every handover, and if there is any sign of opening, they will kill all the goods, and we dare not look at them." The boss laughed a few times.
"Well, forget it, it's a total of twenty-two thousand two hundred and twenty-six taels." With that, he threw the extra one or two back to them.
Brother Qing opened his mouth and asked, "I've paid you all the compensation, can you let us go?"
"Of course—no."
The shopkeeper Yan took back the golden abacus, and the dagger in his sleeve quietly slid out: "Gongzi said, take away the silver, and your life must be kept."
As soon as he said this, the two daggers in his hands struck forward, and Brother Qing and Ah Chai had an extra red on their necks, and the two fell to the ground in an instant, their faces gradually turned pale, and finally they stared at each other and lost their breath.
The others behind the shopkeeper Yan also pulled the sword in their hands at the same time.
The boss saw that all his former subordinates in front of him had fallen to the ground, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet Brother Qing's empty eyes, and he suddenly breathed a frozen, and his whole body stiffened.
Shopkeeper Yan walked over slowly, pulled back his dagger, kicked the boss in the chest, sat down, held the dagger, and inserted it into his neck: "Childe also said, if it is useful, take it away with the silver." After saying that, he pulled out the dagger stuck in the grass.
Then someone came and lifted the frightened boss from the ground and dragged him away.
The shopkeeper Yan summoned someone, and after saying a few words, he twisted his neck, got on his horse, and rode away without stopping for a moment.
After a while, Chi Yuan, who was lurking on the side of the small slope, slowly flew down, looked at the corpses on the ground with his sword, and then turned his head to look deeply at the direction where the shopkeeper Yan left, and flew away without saying a word.
