"A black inn?" Shen Cha was stunned for a moment, "How could you stay in a black hotel? Senior Xue is also a young man after all. The top hotels he chooses to stay in should be relatively good inns. How could he stay in a black hotel?"
"He and his cousin definitely don't have money problems, but among the people who came to Beijing with them, there are also some who can't afford to stay in a relatively better inn. Senior Xue discussed with other people, You need to accommodate them a little and take care of their emotions."
"So that's it." Shen Cha nodded, "Accommodating them and taking care of their emotions will end up living in a black shop." She curled her lips in disgust, "Is this a case of petty gain?" She urged Shen Haolin, "Brother, please tell me what happened after they stayed in this black shop, which made him have such an impression on his ancestors."
"He regarded his ancestor as a bandit. He probably had little to do with the black shop. He probably encountered something else." Shen Haolin looked at it for a while and said, "Half a month after setting off from Yuezhou, they arrived at Yunling Town, this town is considered a very prosperous town, after passing this town, you basically enter the territory of Xijing Prefecture."
"Yunling Town..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "I think I've heard of it. It's a pretty good town with relatively simple folk customs. However, under the circumstances back then, no matter how simple the folk customs were, they would probably adapt to the situation and evolve. Become a more sturdy one!"
"You're right. Under chaos, no matter how simple the folk customs are, there will be corresponding changes, especially during the scientific examination period."
"Understood, Yuezhou is in the southeast direction of Xijing City. In addition to Yuezhou, there are five or six other prefectures and counties in this direction. The candidates will pass through Yunling Town to Xijing City, and they will definitely stop at the inn in Yunling Town. Or stay in a hotel, which is a huge amount of income for some unscrupulous merchants." Shen Cha thought for a while, "They probably took advantage of the candidates' desire not to cause trouble during the exam period, so they came up with this idea. Got the idea of robbery, right?"
"That's it." Shen Haolin nodded, "Senior Xue wrote in the scroll that there are seven inns in Yunling Town, and he suspects that two or three of the seven are holding back this idea. , but he had no evidence, so he could only determine that the inn he stayed in must be. The inn they chose was not the largest in Yunling Town, it was considered lower than average, and the environment was average. If it were Senior Xue himself, he would probably not I would choose this. But the couple who came together really can’t afford such an expensive fee, so they can only make do with it. Anyway, they only stay for one night.”
"There are ten of them, so they need at least three guest rooms, right?"
"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "The old man said that most of the people staying in this inn are those who are rushing to take the exam. In addition to the ten of them, there are five or six people. After asking each other, they all went there. We are in Xijing City rushing to take the exam, and they have made an appointment to go together the next day. There is strength in numbers, so if anything happens, we can still take care of each other."
"What's the result?" Shen Cha gently raised the corners of her lips, "Did everything go the other way?"
"Not really, it's just that they didn't have time to reach the next day, and something happened that night." Shen Haolin looked at the scroll again, "Actually, it wasn't Senior Xue and the others who attracted attention, because there were so many of them, and Half of them are dressed as warriors, especially Senior Xue and his cousin, who are said to be participating in martial arts trials. The store wants black people and will not attack such people. "
"That's true. If a fight does break out, it will be the store's fault. Who made them have bad intentions in the first place?"
"That's true, but the so-called authorities are obsessed with things and bystanders know clearly. Once something happens, it will not be as beautiful as they thought."
"The store owner thinks that the old timers won't be so kind and meddle in other people's business, right?"
"That's probably it." Shen Haolin nodded, "The store's target is the other lifters from Yingzhou, who are basically the type who can't carry burdens on their shoulders and can't carry baskets in their hands. Their original plan was , in the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, they stunned those few people and looted all their belongings. Then, they silenced those few people. Then destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces.”
"That's cruel!" Shen Cha sneered, "The plan was quite good, but it didn't work out, right?"
"When they were discussing the plan, they accidentally raised their voice a little louder. Senior Xue's cousin heard it and came back to tell Senior Xue." Shen Haolin sighed, "You also know that senior Xue has a jealous temper. , when it was time to have dinner, he let those few people sit at the same table with him, and secretly told them the plan he heard. Those few people were all real scholars, and they had never experienced this at all. I never thought that I would encounter such a terrible thing, so after hearing this, I was so frightened that my face turned pale, I was trembling, and I didn’t know what to do.”
"Then what?" Shen Cha yawned again, "Senior Xue won't ignore them, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "He thought of a bad move. They invited several civil servants to go to their room to chat, and then several military civil servants headed by Senior Xue changed clothes with these people. Pretend these moves and live in their room."
"This is a good idea. Wait until midnight and those black-hearted things make some moves, and they can catch the turtle in the jar."
"That's right, the plan went very smoothly and didn't arouse the store owner's ideas." Shen Haolin flipped through two pages. "After they entered the room, they blocked their noses to prevent themselves from smelling the scent. When it was time to watch, the shopkeeper led a few waiters and quietly went upstairs. They thought they were very cautious, but in fact, their every move was under the watchful eyes of others. They first placed the items in the three target rooms. Mi Xiang waited for a while, thinking that the Mi Xiang had an effect, then he pried open the door latch and sneaked in. In order to lure those people and create an illusion for those people, Senior Xue did not put his property in a particularly obvious way, but It was hidden in a place that was not easy to find. They just lay on the bed and closed their eyes and fell asleep, letting those people rummage around the room. Those people were not stupid, and they found it after a while. Once everything is done, the next step is to prepare to kill people and silence them."
"The highlight is here." Shen Cha curled his lips, "This highlight will be unforgettable for the shopkeeper and the waiters for the rest of their lives."
"That's right!" Shen Haolin sneered, "The old man Xue met was the shopkeeper. When he approached the bed and pulled out the dagger in his arms, the old man opened his eyes, raised his feet and fiercely He kicked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn't expect that something unexpected would happen, and he didn't react for a moment. When he wanted to fight back, it was already too late. He had already been kicked by the old man more than ten times, and he was beaten hard. Tied up.”
