Coming out of the shopkeeper's room, there is a long corridor behind it, and on both sides are guest rooms, and the shopkeeper's room is at the head of the second floor.

After Liu Yuan left the house, there were stairs now.

Standing at the corner of the stairs and glancing at the lobby outside, I just saw Zheng Dongxi lying on a simple bed made up of two tables, sleeping comfortably with his eyes closed, and his clothes were folded and put aside.

went down the stairs lightly, although Liu Yuan couldn't practice internal strength and didn't learn light skills, but he also tried not to make a sound to avoid waking up Zheng things.

Liu Yuan didn't sleep at night, just to wait until this time to rummage through Zheng Wu's clothes to see if he could find his stolen silver ticket.

The matter involves more than 100 taels of silver that he lost, isn't it a big deal, and he can't let others find out, which is naturally thrilling.

One step, two steps, constantly approaching Zheng Shidong in his sleep, Liu Yuan felt that he would be like a thief.

Slowly stood by Zheng Dongxi's side, peeking at Zheng Dongxi's eyes, he was indeed asleep, he was a person from the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, and he still had this judgment.

So Liu Yuan was relieved and bold, reached out and gently grabbed Zheng Shi's clothes.

It was at this time, without warning, that Zheng Dongxi's eyes opened as soon as he brushed it, "Who?!" The two big eyeballs looked bright in the dim inn.

Liu Yuan, who had been paying attention to Zheng Dongxi's movements, suddenly felt a sudden burst in his heart, and the whole person froze there.

One hand kept the action of grabbing Zheng Dongxi's clothes unchanged, and reacted quickly, and the other hand pinched the corner of Zheng Shi's quilt, smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, it's me, the shopkeeper, let's see if your quilt is covered, don't catch a cold." ”

Fortunately, the light in the room was insufficient, and Zheng Dongxi couldn't see the slightly embarrassed look on Liu Yuan's face. It can only be said that Liu Yuan underestimated a thief, or the vigilance of a disciple of the Thief Sect.

The latter also seemed to be relieved and lay down again and said: "The shopkeeper has worked hard, go to sleep at night." ”

"Eh, this goes up. The operation failed, Liu Yuan touched his nose and walked upstairs.

After returning to his house, the more Liu Yuan thought about it, the more unwilling he became, just a little, just a little, but just from the surface, there seemed to be no silver in the pile of clothes, and he couldn't tell if there were silver tickets.

Forget about sleeping, Liu Yuan thought in his heart and lay down. The first day of the inn passed like this, ending with no guests.

When the rooster crowed, the sky was bright, Liu Yuan yawned and walked from the back room to the staircase, half of his body leaned on the handrail, looked at Zheng Dongxi, who had already gotten up in the lobby, and said, "Morning, thing." ”

"The shopkeeper is early. Zheng Dongxi straightened up and smiled at Liu Yuan, smiling heartlessly, and did not take last night's events to heart.

With a white rag in his hand, he wiped the table, and continued to dry again.

If the person in front of him was not a thief who stole his own silver, he would really be a diligent and good fellow, however, Liu Yuan sneered on his face and said secretly, Master, I have a way to clean you up and let you honestly spit out the silver ticket.

But recently, he is not in a hurry, Liu Yuan knows that the person who steals the door has all the skills in his hands, and his martial arts are all in his legs, and his light skills are powerful, but he has no combat effectiveness.

It is estimated that he really wants to fight, and he is half a catty, so he is not afraid, and he dares to recruit him as a buddy, of course, the reward of the hidden task is also one of the reasons.

But you can't be in a hurry, Zheng Dongxi ran away, and he Liu Yuan can't catch up.

Thinking about these clearly, Liu Yuan slowly walked down the stairs and said with a smile: "Don't be busy with things, the shopkeeper will talk to you." ”

"You say, shopkeeper. Zheng sat on the side of the long table, but watched Liu Yuan walk to the counter and walk back with an abacus.

Click, turning the abacus, Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Let's do business, the ingredients you lost yesterday, and the black pot that was leaked, a total of two hundred and twenty-eight yuan." Liu Yuan fiddled with the abacus beads, "You see if you give it first, or do you want the shopkeeper to deduct it from your salary." ”

Yesterday, I thought that the shopkeeper had forgotten about it, but I only settled accounts with him this morning, Zheng Dongxi said with a helpless wry smile: "Shopkeeper, I am penniless, deduct it from my salary." ”

This is the result that Liu Yuan wants to hear the most, people don't stand without trust, and if they deduct from their wages, they won't be afraid that Zheng will run away.

But when he heard Zheng Dongxi say that he was penniless, Liu Yuan still felt strange that he had stolen his silver ticket of one hundred taels and spent it so quickly.

"Okay, then I'll put it on your account first. Liu Yuan said.

Zheng Shixi wiped the table in the lobby and rested against the wooden pillar, Liu Yuan sat in the chair and yawned, and the two of them felt a little bored in the empty inn.

Guarding such a large inn, Liu Yuan waited left and right, looking at the long street outside the inn gate, he was almost ready to see through, and he couldn't see a single guest.

He suddenly wondered, it didn't matter if there were no guests yesterday, after all, he had just changed the signboard and shopkeeper, why it was almost noon today, and there was still no guest to eat.

If there are no guests, there is no business, and if there is no business, there is no money to make, and the two of them are so hungry that they are not even willing to eat breakfast.

Of course, it was Liu Yuan who was reluctant to eat, anyway, it was to eat and live, and Zheng wanted to eat.

No, Liu Yuan felt the strangeness here, he felt that he had to go out to inquire about the past and present life of this inn, and he felt that it was not only the reason for the poisoning incident.

As soon as he thought of it, Liu Yuan stood up and called Zheng Dongshi and planned to go out.

But they saw a tall and thin man, wearing a blue official robe, a dark gold scimitar across his waist, and a tissue paper in his hand, walking straight towards their inn.

Liu Yuan sighed in his heart, his grandmother's, this inn shouldn't have done something before, he wouldn't be so unlucky, and he didn't say anything.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Liu Yuan greeted him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand and said: "What is the name of the official, come in and sit, but if you want to eat something, let's ...... here."

"Are you the shopkeeper?" asked, as the visitor walked in and sat down.

"It's down. Liu Yuan nodded, "Something makes tea." ”

"No need, I'll leave when I'm done. The visitor waved his hand and said, and Zheng Shixi, who was leaning against the wooden pillar behind him, didn't move at all, without him, but he still didn't know where the tea was.

"I am the head catcher of this county, surnamed Lin. ”

"Lin catches the head, look up for a long time. ”

"Look at this portrait. Lin Zhutou said and pushed the tissue paper in his hand from the table to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan picked up the portrait and frowned: "This is?" The painting is just a bust, and he wears a black veil to cover his face, what can he see.

After seeing the booklet given to him by the pendant, Liu Yuan is now an ordinary painting that can't get into his eyes.

Lin Zhuan leaned forward, knocked his index finger on the piece of paper, and whispered to Liu Yuan: "This is an extremely vicious bandit, his methods are extremely ruthless, and it is said that he is the remnant of the Seven Star Cave after it was destroyed. Avenging the division, working against the imperial court, making trouble in the capital, killing three people, and escaping after being seriously injured by the imperial court, it is very likely that he will escape to our Qingchuan County, maybe he will stay overnight, in short, he must report to the imperial court in time if he finds a suspicious person who is alone!"

Extremely vicious, the means are very spicy, kill three people, and still be able to escape, a few words The image of this person has become clear in Liu Yuan's mind, praying for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, this person is far away from Qingchuan County.

"Alright, I'll inform the other inns as well. Lin Zhutou said, picked up the tissue paper on the table, lifted the waist knife and walked out of the door.

Liu Yuan took one last look, and there was a sentence written at the bottom of the thin paper: Whoever captures this person alive will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver.
