Chapter 141: High or low
"Shopkeeper...please let...let those tenants leave quickly!" The disciple ran up to him and said panting.
The old shopkeeper didn't know that the other party was questioning the Tan family before, so he seemed a little angry when he heard this sentence.
"Why, you guys from the escort agency still want to take it by force?!"
Before the old shopkeeper finished speaking, the man stopped him.
"I am the escort team escorting the Tan family. This is the money that the master rewarded you. He said that you should kick out all the tenants before he comes. If you do well, the money will be yours, but if you don't, you will lose all the people. "
As soon as these words came out, the old shopkeeper suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, his hands were trembling, and he stared hard at the man in civilian clothes in front of him and asked:
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Do you think I am someone who can afford a tael of silver?" the commoner disciple replied with a bitter look on his face, but then he added:
"Don't worry so much. It will be too late if it is later. I have to go back quickly. Hurry up yourself!" After saying this, the commoner disciple ran out in a hurry.
Although the old shopkeeper was a bit old, he was jumping up and down anxiously like a rabbit at the moment. He quickly ran upstairs to the inn and woke up all the guests.
"What's going on? You're in a panic."
"That's right, I finally fell asleep and was woken up by you."
"I just paid this morning, and now it's not tomorrow yet and I'm in a hurry to collect the debt?"
The sound on the second floor was extremely noisy, but only one large room was extremely quiet. However, the old shopkeeper did not take the time to pay attention to this. He stood in the corridor and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, let's go quickly. People from the Tan family are coming. If you don't leave, they will be killed!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
"What are you waiting for! Let's go quickly!"
Another roar from the old shopkeeper made everyone wake up completely. They quickly packed up their things and ran out, fearing that they would run into someone from the Tan family a second too late. However, after they left, the old shopkeeper found that There was no movement in a large room, and out of curiosity he was about to go and have a look.
At this moment, two waiters in the inn ran out without even picking up their pants. They stood downstairs and shouted to the top:
"Shopkeeper, you said the Tan family is coming?!"
The old shopkeeper was startled when he heard the sound. When he saw the two waiters, he hurried downstairs. He first pointed at the older one and ordered:
"Go and wake up Cook Zhang and ask him to go to the kitchen to prepare some food and wine. By the way, dig out the two jars of good wine that I have buried under the wine cellar for many years. Hurry, hurry, hurry!" After saying this, he quickly Then he pointed to the young one and said:
"Go upstairs and clean up those rooms that need to be tidied up. Remember to clean them!"
After hearing the order, the two waiters immediately rolled up their sleeves, moved the wine, and swept the floor very quickly.
The young waiter's job was relatively easy. It happened that the rooms were relatively clean and only one was dirty. After a while, the waiter cleaned it all over again, leaving only the large room that had always been relatively quiet. Clean.
The waiter opened the door without paying much attention. He glanced around and found that the inside was extremely clean, as if no one had ever lived there. However, although he felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it.
"It's so clean, it just saves effort." Then he closed the door and didn't take a step inside.
…
At this time, the disciple wearing a coarse cloth jacket had already ran back to the escort team.
"Sir, I know where that inn is. I will take you there right now."
The green-armored guard just nodded indifferently, but did not reply.
So, the team, led by the commoner disciples, slowly arrived at the inn. Fortunately, the backyard of the inn was big enough to hold twenty-seven carriages.
Arriving in front of the inn, the eighteen soldiers in green armor dismounted and the guard at the head said to them:
"You and the people from the escort agency will take the carriage to the backyard and feed the horses more fine grass. Guard the goods tonight and don't make any mistakes!"
"yes!"
There are two green-armored guards, but one is in front and the other is behind, guarding different places.
After giving the instructions, the leading green-armored guard got off his horse and entered the inn with a kind of family influence. At this time, the old shopkeeper was already waiting in front of the door. He grinned and pulled out a With a dog-legged expression, he nodded and bowed and asked:
"Please come in, gentlemen. We have prepared good wine and food for you."
After hearing this, the green-armored guard walked in with his head held high, a proud look on his face, and the family members behind him also followed suit, pretending to be aloof.
At this time, Zhao Feng followed the green-armored soldiers into the backyard. He had no choice but to do so. The escort agency had the lowest status. In the eyes of the other party, they were just minions responsible for doing odd jobs.
Entering the backyard, he found that it was really big inside, much bigger than other inns. In fact, the reason was not that the land deed was big, but that there was a wasteland behind the inn, and the so-called backyard was nothing more than It was simply surrounded by wooden stakes and branches.
To say how fragile this fence is, it is estimated that it will fall apart if it is hit by a horse. However, such a simple stable has a roof made of thatched grass. Although it is simple, it can barely protect it from wind and rain.
"You guys will stay here tonight." The Qingjia soldiers pointed to the west. There were several empty stables there, which could accommodate about twenty or thirty people. However, these soldiers were looking for I wanted to live in a simple house built with wood and rest.
At this time, a young and energetic member of the escort agency felt dissatisfied and shouted:
"Why do you let me live in such a shabby place, while you live in a wooden house?"
After hearing this, the green-armored soldier first looked at him contemptuously, and then said arrogantly:
"With your lowly status, do you deserve to live here?!"
"You!" The disciple's eyes widened in anger. He wanted to draw his sword several times, but was held down by Pao Ze beside him, for fear that he would conflict with the other party.
"The other party is from the Tan family, we can't afford to offend him." A person holding his arms from behind whispered in his ear.
"I would like to advise you, if you don't want to move your head, just be honest!"
The green-armored soldier's eyes filled with murderous intent immediately dissipated a lot of the young disciple's anger. He threw away the arm that was controlling him, clenched his fists, and stared at the opponent angrily, only daring not to be angry. Speak up.
"Haha, you're a coward." After saying this, the green-armored soldier walked away.
