Chapter 411: Sabre-rattling and gunsmoke rise

Shen Linfeng walked to the door by the bright light coming in from the outside, and with a gentle push with his hand, he saw that a rusty iron lock had been hung outside the door.

"Could it be that this is a black shop?" Shen Linfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Just as he was about to find another way out, an extremely vicissitudes of voice sounded behind him.

"Where are you going?"

A cold voice made the hairs on Shen Linfeng's body stand on end, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see a figure looming in the dim corner.

"There is chaos outside today, and the guest officer should stay here quietly!" As he spoke, the figure had already walked out of the corner. The clothes are simple and clean, and the wrinkles on the face show the vicissitudes of life, especially the long scar of that day, which makes people daunting. This person is the shopkeeper of this inn.

From the moment Shen Linfeng moved in, he felt that this person was mysterious and unfathomable. And this so-called inn is also very different from the others, and it doesn't look like a serious place to be.

The old man walked to the stove and picked up the steaming kettle and walked slowly.

Shen Linfeng looked at the bowl full of hot water in front of him, and he asked tentatively, "Old man, what happened outside?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the children of the eunuchs were taught a lesson. The old man added new water and continued to add firewood to the stove.

"I don't know which official eunuch it is?" Shen Linfeng then asked.

"Who is it, don't you know in your heart?" said the old man without looking back.

Shen Linfeng's face was shocked, could it be that when he acted last night, he was discovered by this old man?

"The old man is actually laughing, I have been resting in the room last night, how can I know what you are talking about?"

"Hehe......" The old man laughed out loud with his back to Shen Linfeng.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the old man broke the firewood in his hand.

"The old man just said that someone taught him a lesson, but he didn't say the specific time......

Shen Linfeng's face was shocked.

"Childe, how do you know it was last night?" After speaking, the old man slowly turned around and stared at Shen Linfeng motionlessly.

Shen Linfeng didn't know how to deal with it for a while, he thought in his heart that the matter of sneaking into the Qinglou last night had already been known to the old man.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, the old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then turned around and said: "This inn has been abandoned for several years, if it weren't for the overcrowding of the Nanyang rally, the old man would not have reopened it." The door of the house outside has been locked, the signboard has been removed, and the son can live here with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about the officers and soldiers outside breaking in. ”

"Why is the old man helping me?"

"The old man is not helping the son, just reminding him out of kindness. If Childe listens, he can live with peace of mind. If the son ignores it, the old man will never stop him, and the son can leave at any time. After speaking, the old man smiled slightly and continued to tinker with the hot water in the pot.

Shen Linfeng quietly looked at the figure of the old man, and the chaotic footsteps outside the door gradually became clear, presumably those officers and soldiers had searched here.

The old man in front of him obviously knew where he was last night, and since he didn't choose to report it, he must not have any malice in his heart. Thinking of this, Shen Linfeng simply believed him, and then returned to his room along the stairs.

Sishi, Lisheng urban area.

Sifu Inn is the largest one in Lisheng District. The interior is luxuriously decorated, the rooms are comfortable, and it can accommodate more than 100 people at the same time. And in such a lively place, no one dares to take a step closer at this moment.

More than 200 officers and soldiers have already blocked the water around the Sifu Inn, and because control has been set up in advance, half of the idlers can no longer be seen on the originally lively streets.

"Rush in and search for me!" Yan Biao gave an order, and dozens of soldiers immediately drew their swords and rushed into the inn.

For nearly a morning, he had ordered people to search most of Lisheng District. But the result was really unsatisfactory, not only failed to find the person in Lin Zhuang's portrait, but also caused dissatisfaction among many people in the rivers and lakes.

Yan Biao is a person who takes care of the overall situation, and before he gets the specific instructions of the prince, he is only doing things perfunctorily. Whenever he encounters such a tense situation, he will take a step back in order to calm things down.

Yan Biao rode a tall horse, his eyes were majestic, and he stared at the door of the inn motionlessly. A moment later, a soldier hurried out of the inn.

"General Qiyu, the people inside blocked the entrance to the stairs and resolutely refused to let us go in to search. ”

Yan Biao frowned.

"How many are there?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "Almost all of them." ”

Yan Biao secretly said that it was difficult to do, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and walked into the Sifu Inn under the leadership of the soldiers.

The soldiers who had just been sent in were all concentrated in the lobby on the first floor of the inn at this moment. The stairs on the side of the lobby are densely packed with people. They were dressed differently, obviously from different places, but at the moment these people were all surprisingly the same goal, which was the soldiers downstairs.

The two groups of people were tense, and the most worried was the shopkeeper of this inn.

"Yan, General Yan, this ...... What's going on? There's something to say, but don't do it. ”

"If you can do it, try not to make noise!" How can Yan Biao not understand this truth? But now is a sensitive period, and even if he can do it, then he must endure it.

"All the heroes of the rivers and lakes, you are the general of the garrison of Nanyang Lisheng below, and you are strictly marked! I have taken the liberty to come here today to offend a lot, but I have to obey the official order in the lower body. Therefore, please raise your noble hands, and after we wait for the routine inspection, Yan will be punished for drinking and making amends. ”

"Hmph, we are all disciplined people, why do you government say that you will search? If we regress today, where will we put the faces of the people in the rivers and lakes?"

"That's it, that's it!"

"That's right!"

"Get out of here, don't delay Yaxing, who drinks and eats meat. ”

The people in the inn shouted all kinds of clamours, and although the soldiers were angry, the general did not give an order, and they could only swallow their anger.

"Everyone!" Yan Biao raised his voice.

"Yan is sincere, as long as you are willing to give in first, I guarantee that the search will be completed in less than a moment. ”

"General, do you mean by this, do you expect that there is someone among us you are looking for?"

Yan Biao replied truthfully: "I don't dare to say anything, it's just a routine inspection." ”

"Haha...... Then please general, after you are sure, it's not too late to search again. As long as you dare to conclude that there is someone you are looking for among us, then we promise to cooperate with the general's search. ”

Yan Biao's fists were clenched, his face trembled, and his eyes stared tightly at the person who spoke. But Yan Biao didn't have a seizure, because he was sober-minded and naturally knew the stakes.

Then, with a long sigh, his clenched fists loosened.

"Withdraw!"
