Chapter 47: Double Charge for Fraudulent Visitors

"We want two rooms!" said Nanjian as soon as he stepped forward. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shopkeeper Liu Defu solemnly looked at the two visitors, and in the end, he sneered and said:

"Sorry, there's only one room!"

"You don't have any other guests here," Ren Siyun glanced at the empty furnishings in the inn hall and asked him puzzledly, "Why are there no guest rooms?"

"No comment!" the other party said with a very horizontal attitude, looking nonchalant, "Do you want to follow you, but I want to remind the two guest officers that this place is sixty miles away from the next inn, and it may be dawn when you arrive!"

"What should I do then?" Nan Jian said with a solemn look at Ren Siyun.

"You sleep on the ground!" she said immediately.

"Good idea!" Nan Jian nodded, turned his face to the shopkeeper and said, "Okay, let's stay!"

"Twenty taels of silver!" said Shopkeeper Liu without raising his head.

This time, Ren Siyun was annoyed, because the countertop of the counter was facing the direction where the customer was standing, it was clearly written that the ordinary room was five taels of silver a night, and the deluxe room was ten taels of silver a night;

And even if they are priced according to the luxury room, it is only ten taels of silver a night, but the innkeeper prefers to charge them twenty taels of silver a night. Therefore, she immediately pointed to the house price indicated on it and questioned him:

"Why is it so expensive, didn't you clearly write here that the luxury room is ten taels of silver a night?"

"But you're two people!" the other man still didn't look up, and continued to write the numbers he had just calculated in his notebook.

After a while, when he saw that the guest who had questioned him seemed to be very dissatisfied, he added:

"Do you want to do whatever you want, we have a clean business here, besides, there are still sixty miles from the farthest inn here, and when you get there, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Nan Jian had already snorted, threw two silver bills weighing ten taels on his table, and said coldly:

"Don't say any more, let's just stay!"

The other man's hand was like lightning, and he immediately grabbed the silver, and then he also raised his eyes, looked at them with a smile, and said:

"That's right, how can you go out without spending money! Besides, our guest room is still the most luxurious room in the Jinma Mountain area, not to mention staying for two people, even if it is for two families, it is not a problem. ”

They did not speak, but watched quietly as he finished speaking, and at last the shopkeeper felt a little like singing a one-man show, and he consciously stopped talking!

"What are the names of the two guest officers? Where did they come from? ”

After the two of them reported their names and places of origin, the other party also registered completely, but they did not see the shopkeeper, and they had the intention of taking them to the guest room. Therefore, Nan Jian asked:

"Where are our rooms?"

"Second floor!" the other party put away the money, sorted out the account books, and said to them without raising his head.

"What room is it, where is the key?" asked Nan Jian again.

"You can have as many rooms as you want," the other said, "and the rooms above are empty anyway!"

"What about the key?"

"The doors are all open, there are no locks!"

When the two of them heard this, they were very uncomfortable, and glanced at each other, and then, Nan Jian smiled faintly at Ren Siyun, and nodded, as if to say:

"Don't be afraid, everything will be safe with me. ”

"Then let's go up!" said to her at last.

So, Ren Siyun happily followed him up the wooden stairs to the second floor, and at this time, the afterglow of the setting sun had faded, and the hazy twilight was gradually enveloping the world with its irresistible power.

Walking up the aisle on the second floor, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in Tsing Yi, who rushed over with a lantern and said:

"Two guest officers, please stay, I'll send you a lantern!"

The further she went, the dimmer the light above became, and Ren Siyun was feeling scared! Coincidentally, a young man in Tsing Yi sent a lantern, which made her feel that the innkeeper was not so mercenary, and somewhat moral.

Nan Jian took the lantern and asked by the way:

"Why is your guest room so dirty, as if it has never been cleaned, and there are cobwebs hanging everywhere?"

"Yes!" said the young man in Tsing Yi very frankly, "there are few pedestrians on this road, and it is rare for a guest to come all year round, so the boss doesn't care much about its appearance!"

"I see!"

"If the two guest officers are all right, I'll go first!" said the young man in Tsing Yi, "if you are instructed, pull the little rope behind the door, and I will come up as soon as the bell rings!"

The young man in Tsing Yi left, and the two of them carried a bowl of lanterns, looked left and right, and began to selectively look for the guest room they were satisfied with, but after walking through the five guest rooms, they found that the door was cracked and closed tightly, so they did not choose.

When they came to the door of the seventh room, they found that there was not the slightest crack in the door, so they thought it was a more desirable room. But when they pushed the door open, the bats and rats inside scattered and fled, so that they were not scary.

Therefore, Nanjian pulled the small rope behind the door.

After a while, the little guy in Tsing Yi went and returned, he came to the seventh room, and asked Nanjian and the others:

"Two guest officers, what do you command?"

"Is this a house where people live?" As he spoke, Nanjian's scabbard was already pressed against his Adam's apple, threatening to stab him in the throat without explanation.

The young man in Tsing Yi was taken aback, because he could see from the other party's cold attitude that this was not the kind of traveler who was easy to fool, so he said sneeringly:

"Guest officer, don't be angry, come with me, there is a VIP room here!"

So, the little girl in Tsing Yi took the two to the third floor and pushed open one of the fresh and comfortable rooms, but they saw that it was fully furnished and the windows were bright and clean, but there was only one bed.

Ren Siyun looked at it, his eyes rolled around, and he was in a very helpless mood, and at the same time glanced at Nan Jian, as if to say:

"Then tonight, I'm really going to wronged you to lay on the floor!"

And Nan Jian, with a faint smile, said sternly with the little guy in green clothes:

"Hurry up and get hot water, we want a hot shower!"

After a while, the little girl in Tsing Yi filled the bathtub in their guest room with warm water, and did not forget to say politely to the two of them when they parted:

"Two guest officers use it slowly!"

However, Nan Jian reminded him that he would have to make another pot later, and the other party, although he twisted his mouth, expressed his reluctance. However, when he saw Nan Jian's indescribable expression, he had to nod silently.

Now, Ren Siyun really wanted to take a bath, but it was inconvenient for men and women to live in the same room, so she secretly decided in her heart that she would give up this beautiful wish!

"Take a shower! I'll go stand outside the door!"

Hearing him say this, Ren Siyun immediately looked around the quiet guest room, as if it was not brave enough to let her stay in it alone, so she lowered her head shyly and said:

"You wash, I'm not going to shower!" when you wash, close the curtains, and I'll sit in this chair and look out the window, okay?" he said, pointing to a high-backed wooden chair next to the bed.

After hearing her say this, Nan Jian realized that she didn't dare to stay in the room alone, so he said this:

"After walking such a long way, how can you do it without taking a bath! So, if you can trust me, I will also sit on this chair and look out the window, you can pull up the curtain and take a good bath!"

"Trustworthy, trustworthy!" she immediately said excitedly, "I dare to wash you in it!"

So, facing the window, Nanjian sat motionless in the chair she had assigned, and she was making a noise of water through the curtain, and was comfortably taking a hot bath!

At this moment, Nan Jian looked through the window and saw three men, riding three high-headed fierce horses, neighing, rushing into the compound of the inn from the faint light of the wind lanterns hanging at the door of the inn.
