Hearing their shouts, no one came over. However, just as he was about to retreat, he saw the two hostages who suddenly grabbed the handle of his knife and pulled it away. Got thrown over the shoulder.
This group of people only paid attention to the guards outside the door, but completely forgot to guard against the hostages in their hands.
At that moment, when they saw that the guards had stopped, they lowered their guard a little, and their attention was entirely on the guards.
Therefore, they were unprepared at the moment and were directly attacked by the guards pretending to be hostages.
After they threw the person to the ground, they did not give the gangsters a chance to react, and then directly detained him. At the same time, several other guards only said to the panicked crowd, "Don't panic, everyone, we are passing through here." The merchants here happen to have some martial arts skills, so we won’t hurt them.”
After hearing this, the hostages stopped escaping in droves.
At the same time, the guard only said to a waiter, "Where is the other inn you just mentioned?"
After listening to the guard's words, the waiter finally dared to tell the truth, "Our town is not big. Apart from our small store, there is no other store at all."
"Then why did you just say that there is another family in the next street?" the guard asked in confusion.
Hearing what the other party said, the waiter lowered his head in shame, "It was the gangsters who forced us to say this. They heard that there were dozens of you and were afraid that they wouldn't be able to deal with you, so they wanted us, the shopkeeper, to send you away. But they didn't expect it." After our shopkeeper did what they said, they still killed our shopkeeper."
Hearing this, the guard just nodded in understanding.
Then he glanced at the shopkeeper who was lying in a pool of blood and said, "Put a coffin for him and clean it up."
The waiter nodded silently and said yes.
Then the guard just asked the waiter, "By the way, do you have any extra guest rooms here?"
The waiter didn't expect this group of people to be so courageous. After such an incident, they actually had the courage to make such a request.
The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder how many guest rooms the guests need?"
The guard made a rough estimate and blurted out, "Are there ten guest rooms?"
The waiter immediately nodded cooperatively, "Yes."
After receiving a positive reply, the guard immediately said, "Give me ten guest rooms."
The waiter wondered, "But something happened to our shopkeeper. I'm afraid it's not convenient for us to do this."
When the guard heard this, he said nonchalantly, "What's the inconvenience? Isn't there a sign written on it? Can I still save you money?"
The waiter had just been rescued by someone, so he naturally had no choice but to give the guard this face, so he only said, "Sir, please wait. We will go to the young master's house right away."
The guard only nodded when he heard this.
After the waiter left, the guard who was discussing with the waiter about opening a room immediately walked to where Zhao Yanzhen and the others were. The guard only said to Zhao Yanzhen, "Your Highness, the gangsters have been packed up."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen only asked, "Where did that group of people come from?"
The guard only whispered, "I heard that they are bandits from the nearby mountain suburbs who came to the city to rob."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but said, "Aren't the bandits all occupying the mountains and becoming kings? What are they doing in the mountain city?"
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the guard shook his head, "I don't even know."
Zhao Yanzhen then nodded and said, "Leave one bandit behind and I'll take him there to question him in person. All the other bandits will be sent to the government office."
The guard received the order and immediately said yes.
However, the guard then only said to Zhao Yanzhen before leaving, "Your Highness, I just asked the waiter of Na Honglai Inn. The waiter said that there are no other inns nearby. I'm afraid we have to rest here today." One night.”
After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen was obviously hesitant, but Jiang Nianjiao said, "Let's go to the inn and have a look. I just want to see what's going on in the inn."
When Zhao Yanzhen saw that Jiang Nianjiao had taken the initiative to speak, he naturally stopped being entangled. He only came down with Jiang Nianjiao at this time.
And when they arrived at Honglai Inn, the inn was already brightly lit.
Although some of the shocked merchants were comforted and went upstairs to rest.
But at the moment, there are more people who just choose to stay in the lobby. They are either looking for their lost property or discussing today's unreasonable disaster. Some people just cooperate with the guards to prepare for the disaster. These gangsters were sent to the Yamen.
When Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen entered the inner room, people's eyes naturally turned to these two people. .
However, when they discovered that the two men were surrounded by guards wearing the same attire as the guards who had rescued them just now, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
And the two people in front of them seemed to be decent people.
And the fact was just as they had guessed. After seeing the two of them coming, the guards immediately saluted them.
Seeing this posture, everyone felt that the identities of these two people were unusual. Unfortunately, there were many people guarding them, so even if someone was curious about them, they could not get close to them.
Zhao Yanzhen was ready to go upstairs after coming in, but before they both took a few steps, the waiter immediately stopped them and said, "I'm really sorry, you two guests, but you can't go up yet. We have to wait for the young master's family to come over before we can open a room for you." .”
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but ask, "Where is your shopkeeper?"
As soon as the shopkeeper was mentioned, the waiter said in frustration, "Something happened to the shopkeeper. We are the only ones in the shop right now. We can't make the decision, so please forgive me."
After hearing what the waiter said, the two of them naturally stopped talking.
The two of them didn't wait long in the hall when they saw a young man hurriedly coming towards them. He was wearing a silver-white satin gown and looked like a long fish.
As soon as the young man arrived in the lobby, the waiter next to him immediately began to lead him to Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen. The young man had obviously heard his waiter mention the thrilling incident that had just happened in the store before he came here. scene, and how other people were rescued in the store. Therefore, as soon as the store owner came over, he almost immediately began to say to Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen, "Thank you both for your help today, otherwise I am afraid that my store will inevitably be damaged today." You’re going to get into trouble.”
When Zhao Yanzhen heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, Young Master. We want to find a place to rest here now. It would be great if you could arrange this for us."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the young master was not ambiguous at all. He only said in a low voice, "That's no problem. You can just rest here."
After saying this, the young host just said to the waiter, "How many free rooms do we have in the inn now?"
The clerk immediately replied, "There are more than twenty."
When the young master heard this, he immediately said, "In that case, let's allocate the remaining rooms to them."
The clerk immediately said yes, and then went to look for the key.
Although Zhao Yanzhen felt that more than 30 people did not need more than 20 rooms, considering that this was the store's courtesy, he did not refute it. Instead, he just asked directly, "I don't know how much it will cost to rent these more than 20 rooms." How much silver do you need?"
After hearing this, the young master immediately said, "There is no need for money here. Thanks to the help of several people today, my property here can now be preserved. You are our benefactor, how can we still accept your money?" .”
After hearing what the young master said, Jiang Nianjiao immediately said, "How can you not give money? We are driving and arresting these bandits for the sake of our own safety."
After saying that, Jiang Nianjiao simply asked Cui Qiao to take out an ingot of gold and said, "Boss, do you think this is enough?"
The young master waved his hand quickly. Jiang Nianjiao thought it was because there was not enough gold. She immediately said to Cui Qiao, "Cui Qiao, take another ingot."
The young boss quickly pushed it away and said, "It's not that the money is not enough, it's that I can't accept it."
"What can't be accepted? Those who open the business are not doing charity!" When Jiang Nianjiao said this, she only gave Cui Qiao a wink.
Cui Qiao then directly put the gold into Jiang Nianjiao's hand.
Na Shaodong
Jia still wanted to return it, so Cui Qiao directly tapped his acupuncture points. And warned, "Just take it if I give it to you. If you agree, just blink. If you don't agree, I won't relieve you."
Being threatened like this by Cui Qiao, the young host could only blink helplessly.
After seeing the other person blinking, Cui Qiao finally relieved the other person's acupuncture point.
After the Shaodong family realized that they were immobilized by Cui Qiao, they finally stopped making any move. He could only ask the waiter to immediately welcome the others into the second floor, as for the gangsters. After the young master said that there might be no one in the Yamen at the moment, the other bandits were temporarily tied to the pillars in the lobby, and another bandit was pulled to his room by Zhao Yanzhen.
When the guards pushed the bandit down to his knees, the bandit was obviously unwilling to say anything.
Until Zhao Yanzhen suddenly said, "Are you from Leigong Mountain?"
The bandit only looked at Zhao Yanzhen in surprise.
Zhao Yanzhen naturally got confirmation from his surprised eyes, so he just said, "Leigong Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is also a must-pass for merchants. Logically speaking, you should rob at that place." Yes. How did your people end up in a place like this now?"
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the bandit remained silent.
Zhao Yanzhen didn't have much patience. Seeing that the bandit didn't say anything, he said coldly, "Since you don't say anything, I will kill all your brothers now without leaving any one behind."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's threat, the bandit was really loyal. At that moment, he no longer dared to pretend that he didn't know anything. He just said quickly, "Don't kill my brother."
