Chapter 145: Entering the Inn at Night

In addition to the big festivals in Xiangzhou City, there has always been a curfew, every time it arrives, there is basically no one on the street, otherwise it will be discovered by the patrol of the street, in addition to being beaten by the board, and you have to eat a few days of prison food. Of course, if someone in the family is seriously ill and needs to go out for medical treatment, it can be dismissed.

I took the book of alliance into my arms, and finally stayed up until more than half of the hour, and came to the Jianghu Inn again, and sure enough, the excitement of the day was completely gone.

The lanterns under the eaves of the inn swayed in the wind, and the door panel of the gate was halfway down, as if it was still waiting for the last guest. I probably have less than half an hour left to ask to see the prince! Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a little weak in my legs. Prince! I...... How do I meet me?

I took a few deep breaths and went to the door of the inn to look inside, there were basically no guests in the inn, only the three of them were eating and chatting at the table near the counter.

At a glance, I recognized that Fu Bo was sitting facing the door, and on the side was Aunt Fu, who occasionally came to the inn to help, and there was a man in a black suit, with his back to the door, I don't know who it was.

"Are you going to eat or stay at a hotel?"

While I was struggling with how to get in, the man in the black suit suddenly rushed to the door and asked me.

"I ......" Looking at his sharp eyes, my heart trembled, he looked like he was about thirty years old, but his face was full of vicissitudes.

"Sneaky, who's who?" The man in black scolded loudly again, the sword in his hand ready to fire.

"Oh, it's Jianghu? It's so late, is there something wrong? Fu Bo tilted his head to recognize that it was me, and asked suspiciously, and Aunt Fu also got up with a smile.

"Father-in-law knows?" The man in black softened his expression a little and took a step to the side.

"Fauber." When I stepped into the threshold, I was still flustered, so I had to force my composure and say, "I...... I want to find Ah Wu for a little something, considering that it is a little late, and I am hesitating when I see that you are chatting happily again...... Forehead...... Do you want to come in and disturb me? ”

"Zhiyuan, put away the sword. His name is Li Jianghu, and he sells tofu at the door of the inn every day, and we often come to the store to help when we are busy. Fauber said, smiling and pushing the man in black's sword.

"Oh, it turns out to be a guy from the inn too." The man in black, known as "Zhiyuan", smiled lightly at me, and it seemed that he had apologized.

"Ah Wu is busy in the guest room, you go to the back to find him."

"Yes, thank you Fauber."

I secretly touched the book of alliance in my arms, and quickly went to the courtyard, only to see Ah Wu coming from the corridor of the guest room with a bucket.

"Fifth brother, are you busy?" I shouted.

Ah Wu put down the bucket and beat his waist: "Busy, I'm ready to sleep at this point, and I'm tired from sending foot washing water next to the room." You're not here to help me, are you? ”

I pleaded, "Can that guest at the inn today let me serve?" I'll bring him water. ”

Ah Wu spread his hands: "He? I've sent it away! ”

"That'...... I'm going to pour him a pot of tea. ”

Ah Wu shook his head again: "I'm going to sleep, what kind of tea do I eat?" ”

"That ......"

"Okay, let's go back," Ah Wu waved outward, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do?" You say, you are an ordinary person, you go to sue the Qincha, can you sue it? ”

"But I can't let Jiajia die in vain!" I said firmly.

Ah Wu looked left and right and moved closer to me: "Do you know who sent to investigate the Qincha?" Prince! Be the crown prince! Do you know how to salute? How do I get back? If nothing else, if it's a little bit worse, you'll have to be convicted! ”

Although I was scared, I said stiffly, "Then how did you talk to him?" ”

"Me?" Ah Wu patted his chest: "He doesn't have a TD identity, he entered the store as an ordinary guest, of course I call him 'guest officer', and he can serve him as much as he wants."

I heard from the guests who had dinner in the evening that at noon today, a group of four people arrived at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, and the leader claimed to be the prince of the dynasty, and angrily named him to take over the chauffeur. Combined with the shopkeeper's attitude towards them, I boldly deduced his identity.

If you want to go to him to complain, doesn't that show that you already know that he is the crown prince? His private interview was seen through by you, do you think he is still in the mood to try the case for you? ”

I know that Ah Wu is right, but I am very unwilling, and I finally look forward to someone coming to the court, how can I miss such a good opportunity?

"Okay, listen to my advice and go back." Ah Wu said, suddenly looked behind me, grinned, and bent down: "Yo, guest officer, you haven't slept yet?" What else is there to command? ”

I saw a handsome man in his early thirties, dressed in a long robe, but his temperament was different.

"Xiangzhou City is still quite lively, and now it's finally quiet, but I can't sleep anymore." The man smiled wryly and pointed back: "I saw in the room that there is a garden behind the guest room, can guests go and take a look?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's the back garden of our inn, which is convenient for guests to relax, and there is a gazebo inside, where you can cook tea and admire the moon, and the guest officer please take care of yourself." Ah Wu replied.

"Little Er, Little Er, where is my water? Why is it so slow! An anxious voice came from the second floor.

"Oh, here it is." Ah Wu replied, smiled at the man, looked at me worriedly, and went to the back kitchen to fetch water.

"You're also a buddy at the inn?" The man looked at me and asked.

"Yes."

"Bring me a stove, boil a pot of tea, and put it in the gazebo." The man commanded, and went straight to the back garden.

I had a faint feeling in my heart that he was the guest of this inn. So, he didn't dare to slack off, and sent the small stove and tea over according to his request.

The man was already standing in the pavilion, and when he saw me putting my things away, he asked, "Does this inn have a back door?" ”

"Yes." I pointed, "Bypass the rockery in front of you." ”

"You're new here?"

My heart trembled, could he see that I was flustered when I made tea on the stove just now?

"Yes." I had no choice but to answer honestly.

"How long have you been here?"

I thought for a moment: "It's been a month. ”

"Are there many guests? I don't think there are a few guys in the inn, can you get busy? ”

"Uh...... It's okay, there are a total of twenty-nine guest rooms in the back, even if they are full, it's not much, and there are only ten tables in the front guest hall, plus three private rooms on the second floor, it's really too busy, Aunt Fu Bofu and the owner will also help. ”

The man smiled: "What's the name of your owner?" ”

Landlord? Why is this asking? I didn't know what I meant, so I had to answer honestly: "Our owner's name is Li Dongsheng." ”

"He wrote all the words hanging in front of the cabinet in the living room?"

"Yes, it was put up for sale by our owner, one or two pieces of silver, but no one bought it, I wrote a few pieces a few days ago, and asked Fu Bo to send it to Liao's Wenzhai to help sell it, I don't know if it was sold." I replied, trying to be as detailed as possible to show that I was indeed a fellow at the inn.

The man smiled slightly again, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky: "I heard that Qin Cha and your host are good friends, has he ever been to your inn?" ”

"I've been here."

"He doesn't seem to be feeling well, do you know what's going on?" The man asked again, a worried look on his face.

"Is the guest officer asking Qincha? I heard that it was because of his bad stomach, and Dr. Li was conditioning him. ”

"Oh. You go get busy. ”

"Yes. The guest officer rested earlier. I touched the book in my arms, hesitated a little, and my feet were already out of my control and headed towards the front yard.

I couldn't sleep, I was alone, and I stayed in the gazebo to make tea...... Is he waiting for someone? He asked the owner and smiled, could it really be an old acquaintance? He seems to be still worried about Xiao Mu's illness, can't he and Xiao Mu also be friends?

If that's the case, and I file a complaint with him, will he accept it? Will it be like what Uncle Fang said in the book, but instead convict me of a "trumped-up" crime?

Look at him eagerly, I don't know who is waiting.

I lurked in the corridor leading to the back garden, and although the moon was bright in the sky, it was like daylight, but there were trees to cover me, so it should not be easy for him to spot.

I hope my guess is wrong, I hope the person he is waiting for is not Xiao Mu, so I still have a chance.

"Hey, do you think that clear soup noodle is delicious?" It seems to be Li Dongsheng's voice.

"Not bad."

"Hehe, I cooked it myself, and I added an extra spoonful of broth to your bowl. Okay to you? ”

The two came to the pavilion with a smile, and the man in the long shirt smiled and shook his hands deeply: "Thank you Uncle Huang for treating me differently, Yu'er is grateful." ”

"Hehe, they're all princes, and they're still so poor." Li Dongsheng lightly punched him: "Why did you suddenly come to Xiangzhou City?" ”

What? Uncle Huang? Did I hear me right?

I was not allowed to breathe, but I felt a chill in my neck, and when I turned my head, I saw that a cold sword was on my shoulder, and the man in black who had been drinking with Fu Bo and them just now was also glaring at me.

"What are you doing here?"

"I ...... I'm waiting to serve the guest, and I just prepared tea for him, I don't know...... I don't know if he will have other orders. "I can't pick my tongue for a while, but I'm also a secret agent, and I have some skills in improvisation.

"Come with me." Zhiyuan put away his sword, grabbed my arm and dragged me to the miscellaneous room next to the guest room: "You don't want to die?" Dare to eavesdrop on the prince! ”

"Prince?" I was deliberately taken aback: "What prince? ”

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, I heard my father-in-law just now say that Mu You killed your fiancΓ©e in order to deal with Tubo, do you want to find the prince to complain and let the prince punish the murderer for you?" Zhiyuan asked in a low voice.

I was actually seen through the plan by him!

"Who are you?" When I think about it, I've never heard Fauber mention such a son-in-law.

"Wang Zhiyuan, who is currently the prince's personal bodyguard, was the brigade commander of Congqipin under Yang Guozhong three years ago, responsible for protecting the safety of Yang Sanniang.

The day before Yang Sanniang and King An's wedding, I took people to guard outside the house all night, but unfortunately the next day King An came to pick up his relatives, and Yang Sanniang still disappeared out of thin air. Wang Zhiyuan muttered, and even frowned.

I remembered what I had heard Xiao Mu say, and looked at the person in front of me again: "Princess An...... Is it missing from your hands? ”

"Yes."

"That'...... King Ann didn't condemn you? ”

Wang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "Do you still use King An to convict?" In order to protect himself, Yang Guozhong put all the blame for Princess An's disappearance on me, and I was almost beheaded for the torture I suffered in prison.

In order to save me, my father-in-law sold the inn, fantasizing about buying the prison head to steal the beams and change the pillars, just to spare my life, even if it is to sneak around for a lifetime.

Before this absurd plan could be implemented, King An suddenly received a letter, and immediately ordered me to be pardoned, and recommended me to go to Luoyang to seek refuge with the king of Guangping, who is now the crown prince. ”

After listening to him, I also breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who sent a letter to King An and forgave you from your sin?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the sword in his hand, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth: "Mu You! ”
