When the innkeeper heard this, he looked outside and saw dozens of war horses, all of them with a murderous aura. He knew that he could not afford to offend these people, so he got off the bed quickly.
I cursed my bad luck in my heart, put on my clothes and shoes and went to open the door.
As soon as the bolt was pulled, the door was kicked open.
"Ouch!" The shopkeeper was kicked and fell on his back. He didn't dare to say anything and immediately got up and moved aside.
Two guards stepped over the threshold, shone their torches around, and said coldly, "Make room for us!"
The shopkeeper was embarrassed: "This... all the guests are asleep, there are really no berths left..."
Before he could finish his words, he was whipped in the face.
The guard's face was cold: "I don't care whether the room is full or not, go and clear them out, our young master wants to stay!"
The shopkeeper thought about the fact that a juren and a xiucai had come to his shop today, so he didn't dare to clear them out. He burst into tears, "I'm just an ordinary citizen, how dare I clear them out casually? Sirs, please be kind, wuwuwuwu..."
His crying and wailing not only alarmed everyone in the inn, but also startled the innkeeper's wife out.
Although the shopkeeper's wife was also afraid of these guards, she was immediately furious when she saw her husband being beaten. She rushed over and grabbed her husband, crying and shouting, "Where did this stray dog come from? How dare you bite me so recklessly? Let me see where it bit you."
There was a blood mark on the shopkeeper's face, which was already very high and looked scary.
This time the shopkeeper's wife cursed even louder.
The guard wanted to whip him again but was stopped.
The man was wearing a black cloak and a hood, and walked in slowly.
There were three or four women following behind him, one of whom was holding a baby who was a few years old.
"We are just staying in an inn. We are not unwilling to pay. Why do we have to do this?" The man threw a purse to the shopkeeper and said, "Here are fifty taels. I will book this inn. The rest of you can leave!"
The shopkeeper was in a dilemma, holding his purse.
He really wanted to accept the money, but he had to live to spend it.
"Hey! I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiao Chengjun. You have made great progress." Wei Zhan, who was woken up, came out from the big bunk bed. He recognized at a glance that the person wearing the black cloak was Xiao Chengjun, and frowned.
When Xiao Chengjun saw Wei Zhan, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "So it's my cousin, what a coincidence."
Wei Zhan was secretly puzzled.
This is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, right? How could a member of the Xiao family be so bold as to show off here
"Why are you here?" Wei Zhan asked.
Xiao Chengjun said: "My father is ill, I want to find a doctor to see him."
He walked into the big bunk bed where Wei Zhan and the others lived, looked around, saw Wen Hengyin and Jiang Sanlang, and smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, I met two acquaintances today."
Jiang Sanlang didn't quite know Xiao Chengjun, but seeing that this man looked somewhat similar to Xiao Mo, and hearing Wei Zhan call him Xiao Chengjun, he became extremely careful and moved his two nephews behind him.
Wei Zhan said bluntly: "The inn here is full. We have more than ten people staying in one big bunk bed. There is really no room for twenty or thirty of you."
He glanced at the woman in the veil and said, "Besides, you have female relatives, so it's really inconvenient for you to squeeze together."
Xiao Chengjun didn't say a word. The guards behind him had already rushed into the large bunk bed next door, waving their swords to drive away the crowd.
There were seven or eight people living in the large bunk bed next door, and they were all driven out by the guards.
Among these people were merchants, civilians, and two scholars who were pulled out of bed with confused looks on their faces.
Then the guards went to kick the private guest rooms. When one of them tried to kick Yingbao's room, Jiang Sanlang pushed him away: "This is our room!"
The guard was about to get angry when Wei Zhan and his men got angry, rushed over and pushed him, shouting, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chengjun waved his hand at the guards and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? My men didn't know."
The woman behind him suddenly lifted her veil and bowed to Jiang Sanlang: "Uncle Jiang, how are you?"
Jiang Sanlang recognized at a glance that this woman was Han Yueniang's daughter Chen Tiantian.
The woman next to her is most likely Han Yueniang.
Jiang Sanlang narrowed his eyes and held the door behind him tighter.
This girl's family has a grudge against my family, which is almost a blood feud. If we meet them at this time, there will definitely be no good news.
Chen Tiantian glanced behind Jiang Sanlang and said, "Is Sister Yingbao also here? What a coincidence! Mr. Xiao was just about to ask her for help with the diagnosis."
Xiao Chengjun looked over and did not deny it.
Jiang Sanlang wanted to tear the girl's mouth to pieces, and said coldly: "She is just a child, what kind of diagnosis can she make?"
"Uncle Jiang, why do you have to belittle yourself? Why not call sister Yingbao out to have a chat? We sisters haven't had a good chat for a long time. My mother also wants to know about the situation of my aunt's family." Chen Tiantian smiled.
Jiang Cheng and Yuan Bao stepped forward and said, "Sorry, my cousin has gone to bed and won't see outsiders."
Chen Tiantian continued: "We were so loud outside, didn't sister Yingbao hear it?"
Wei Zhan tilted his head and looked at Chen Tiantian, his face unfriendly. "Why don't you understand what people are saying? What time is it now? Are you a royal princess? Do you want someone to talk to you in the middle of the night?"
Chen Tiantian's eyes flashed with viciousness, and she turned to Xiao Chengjun and said, "Mr. Xiao, I was anxious. I wanted to ask Sister Yingbao to come out and talk so that I could prepare some medicine for Uncle Xiao earlier... After all, Uncle Xiao's condition is critical and there is no time to delay."
Han Yueniang lifted her veil a little and chimed in, "My daughter also had good intentions, but I didn't expect the Jiang family to be so arrogant and not take Mr. Xiao seriously."
"Where did the stray dog come from?" Wei Zhan looked coldly at the two women wearing veiled hats, "Have you learned to sow discord?"
Han Yueniang:...
Xiao Chengjun frowned and signaled the maid to take Han and her daughter into a guest room.
The passengers who were kicked out of the room were so angry but dared not say anything when they saw so many guards with swords. They could only ask the shopkeeper to get some hay and bedding, and they slept in the hall for the night.
The innkeeper did not hesitate and quickly went out to the funeral shop next door to borrow some bedding to cover the guests.
Seeing that his uncle had been guarding the door of his little cousin, Jiang Chengyuanbao advised, "Uncle, you should go back and have a rest. Those people have also entered the house. We can take turns to look after this place."
Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin also said, "Uncle Jiang, you should go to sleep quickly. There are so many of us. They won't dare to do anything."
Only then did Jiang Sanlang go back to his dormitory to rest.
Before dawn the next day, Jiang Sanlang gently knocked on Yingbao's door.
Yingbao had already come out of the cave, and quickly opened the door and let her father in: "Dad, what's the matter?"
Jiang Sanlang told the inn that Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun were also in the inn. "They also asked you to diagnose someone in their family. Baoer, be careful. These people are not here with good intentions."
Yingbao nodded: "I know, don't worry, Dad, I will find a way to deal with it."
If it doesn't work, just give them some Ma Fei San.
I want to see for myself whether the hero and heroine of the storybook can really turn misfortune into fortune and turn disaster into blessing.
