Although Wuqiu Town is only a small town with a population of only a few thousand, because it is located at the junction of Gyeonggi Road and Hebei and Shandong Roads, it is very lively on weekdays, with endless traffic and pedestrians. Especially the government-run Wuqiu Inn in the town has almost constant customers all year round. Even in the hot summer season, people still come here from time to time to stay.
After traveling for a day, Sun Tu and Ya'er saw that it was getting late, so they stopped at this inn. With the traveling expenses provided by Chao Gai before leaving, and the money found from Du Hu and others after killing them that night, Sun Tu didn't have to worry about money at all. He asked for a room directly after entering the inn. rest.
The shopkeeper and the waiter of this government-run inn are both knowledgeable. They did not look down upon them just because they were young, nor did they make any further inquiries. They settled them down very politely, and then served them even more courteously. Famous local dishes are delivered directly to the room.
After several days of running around, Ya'er, who had just recovered, was really tired, so she went to bed early after eating some food. Sun Tu, on the other hand, looked at the dark sky outside the window and thought about his thoughts.
He was thinking about his future. If his memory was correct, the Song Dynasty, which was now prosperous and prosperous, would be facing disaster more than ten or twenty years later. Shandong in the north would definitely bear the brunt of the disaster, and how should he cope with it? Should we leave this place of right and wrong early and run to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid the upcoming military disaster
But after thinking for a long time, Sun Tu finally couldn't make up his mind. After all, he is just a powerless commoner now, and it is not easy to escape from Shandong. What's more, I don't know how many difficulties and variables I will encounter when I go to Bianliang this time. Perhaps we can only take one step at a time and go with the flow.
Just when Sun Tu sighed secretly and felt a little weak, there was a sudden noise outside, which made him frown immediately. The upper room he booked was not just one room, but an entire courtyard. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so much noise outside. It wouldn't be good if he woke up Ya'er.
Just when he wanted to see what was going on, there was a knock on the door outside. With doubts and dissatisfaction, Sun Tu went out and opened the courtyard door with a dark face. Then he saw the inn clerk standing there with a look of shame on his face, bowing and saluting repeatedly: "Host, I'm really sorry. Your room has been taken away by these officials, so I have no choice but to move you two." As he spoke, he moved slightly to the side so that Sun Tu could see the four or five people following him. Dress up in a certain way.
These were several luxuriously dressed travelers. In the middle was a handsome but pale-faced young man. Next to him was a little boy. Several other men who looked like domestic slaves were also looking at Sun Tu with condescending eyes.
"What's this? Everything has to be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?" Sun Tu said dissatisfied: "I paid the store a long time ago."
Before those people could speak, the waiter had quickly explained: "The waiters don't know, but they all have tickets for the Beijing Post Station. The villain must obey the orders and treat the waiter Haihan." After that, he added He bent down and held his hands in front of him, pretending to be pleading.
Only then did Sun Tu realize that this latecomer actually had a government background. He could use the post coupons to live and eat in various post stations across the country for free, and he could also get the best hospitality. In comparison, he was spending money to stay in hotels. It's a bit inferior. This is the strict hierarchy in ancient times. No matter how much money you have, it is nothing in front of the officials.
Since the rules were like this, Sun Tu didn't want to cause more trouble, so he planned to give in. But before he could speak, Xu saw that he was moving slowly, and a man stepped forward and shouted: "Why are you still dawdling, leave quickly. If you dare to delay again, I will be careful to treat you as a criminal and bring you to the government for punishment." !”
Seeing how arrogant the other party was, Sun Tu felt angry. But at this moment, the young master spoke up: "Tong Zhuang must not be rude, and this little brother didn't say he was unwilling to give in." After saying that, he also raised his hand to Sun Tuyi: "My dear brother, I'm sorry. I really feel unwell and need to rest, so..."
Sun Tu didn't expect that the master would be so easy to talk to, so he calmed down and nodded: "Since there are such rules, I will give up. But please wait a moment until I wake up my sister-in-law. "As he said that, he took another deep look at the young master and found that his face was really not good and he seemed to be ill.
Seeing that the two parties had reached a settlement, the waiter finally felt relieved. He quickly followed Sun Tu into the house with an apologetic smile and helped him pack his belongings. At the same time, he kept thanking him and said that he would definitely repay the money for today's store.
When Sun Tu took the package and called Ya'er, who was confused, to go out, he passed by the official guests who were actually staying. He immediately discovered that the young man's steps were a little weak, and if it weren't for the support of someone beside him, he might have fallen down.
It seems that this person is indeed seriously ill, and it makes sense that he would like to have a room in the upper room to rest and recuperate. When Sun Tu thought of this, most of his anger was gone, and he followed the waiter to a guest room not far away to settle down again.
After that, there was no talking all night, and he slept until dawn, when Sun Tu was woken up by the sudden quarrel outside. Hearing the noise, he frowned deeply because the noise actually came from the upper room he sold out last night.
After looking at the little girl who was sleeping soundly, Sun Tu didn't wake her up, so he stood up and walked out to see what was going on. When I came outside, I saw one of the slaves grabbing the innkeeper by the collar and shouting: "Okay, how dare you shirk your responsibility for something like this! My young master was fine when he came last night, why is he so bad today?" Are you unconscious? There must be something wrong with the food in your store!"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper was even more frightened and turned pale. He called out to Chongtianqulai: "The guest has been wronged. I haven't even had time to serve you. How dare you hurt your distinguished guest? The food in our inn is always dry." If you are clean and innocent, how could anything go wrong?"
"You dare to talk back, I'll beat you up!" Seeing this, Haonu became even more angry, and immediately slapped him away, knocking the shopkeeper to the ground.
The few waiters in front of him were too frightened to move at this time, and they didn't even come forward to help the shopkeeper when he fell to the ground. Seeing these guys being so bullying, not only threatening but also making moves, Sun Tu couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately stepped forward: "What are you doing? Your young master was not in good health when he came last night, so I They can all testify, but it has nothing to do with this inn!"
"Hey, it's you again, kid. Do you also want to be taken to see the official by us?" The Hao Nu immediately recognized Sun Tu Lai and threatened him immediately.
"I think you are the one who is going to see the official. This is a government-run inn. You dare to be so bold when you beat someone in the government!" Sun Tu replied without giving in, and then said: "Your top priority now is Shouldn't we be trying to diagnose and treat your young master? What problem can be solved by arguing here? If he really has any bad intentions, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away with it!"
"You..." The Haonu was speechless after hearing this. At this time, the boy also walked into the yard and said: "Uncle Zhuang, what he said is right, we should quickly invite the doctor to diagnose and treat the young master."
Seeing that even the bookboy in front of the young master had said this, the slave didn't dare to pester him anymore, and immediately pointed at a clerk and said: "Hurry up and invite the doctor from the town to treat my young master. If you are late, be careful. Skin!"
The guy hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly. When it comes to the reputation of his own station, he doesn't dare to show any slights.
But when he came back not long after, there was nothing around him, and there were no doctors following him at all. This made the shopkeeper a little anxious: "Where is Doctor Liu?"
"It turns out that Dr. Liu was asked to leave yesterday, and now there is no one in the hospital at all..." the clerk said with a look of helplessness.
At this time, things really got out of hand. Even the book boy who spoke to the inn manager and the others didn't know what to do. And those wealthy slaves even used the topic to their advantage: "Wow, you actually dare to use such nonsense to prevaricate us!" After saying that, they were about to step forward and take action...
