”Ah …”
Not only Liang Tian and Dong Jian, practically everyone was shocked as well. In the past few days that they had lived in the East Gate Inn, they had never allowed women to enter their courtyard. Yesterday, they had to leave, but everyone drank together, they had never seen any woman.
Liang Tian and Dong Jian who had been in the martial arts world for a long time immediately felt that there was a problem. They turned around and glanced at the ten or so horse carriages, if they wanted to hide a woman, it would be fine, but could they hide a woman inside the carriage to frame themselves?
”Guest, please let us search everyone. If there are no people here, we can clear you guys of any suspicions.” That Mr. Clerk acted like a good person and advised Liang Tian and Dong Jian.
Although Liang Tian and Dong Jian were suspicious, if they didn't search, he couldn't explain it, and they wouldn't let him go either. Even if there was some trap, it would have to be searched by them. The two of them looked at each other, then Liang Tian said to the shopkeeper: ”You guys go ahead and search, but you guys be careful, don't mess with our goods.”
”Alright.” The shopkeeper had been waiting for this moment for a long time. His pair of crafty little eyes flashed with a cold light as he turned around and waved his hand at the waiters, ”Are you listening? ”Search carefully!”
”Sure!” The waiters all rushed forward, pouncing towards the horse carriages. They didn't care about anything else and just simply threw those precious furs down. Within a few moments, they had scattered all over the ground.
”It's here!” Suddenly, a servant called out, his voice was loud, causing Liang Tian and Dong Jian to be shocked. When they ran over to take a look, they saw a woman in heavy clothing lying on the carriage. Her eyes were tightly shut, as if she was asleep.
”I'm leaving!” In Liang Tian's and Dong Jian's hearts, it seemed as if they let out laments at the same time. Whether or not it was an intentional framing by the inn, they had no way of escaping today. Losing some money was a small matter, but he might even drag them to the government or imprison them.
The assistant pushed the woman, but there was no movement. He reached out his hand to poke under the woman's nose. The woman suddenly sneezed, causing him to retract his hand out of fear.
”Why are you lying here?” The storekeeper immediately walked up, grabbed the woman, and asked loudly.
”I... I... I was fine when I was beaten up. I don't know anything. ” The woman was so scared that she started to cry and stammered.
”Alright, let's see if you have anything else to say. Come with us to the officials. If I don't let you all go bankrupt, then my surname will not be Zhang! ” The storekeeper seemed to have calmed down and aggressively rushed forward.
At this point, Liang Tian and Dong Jian had actually calmed down. They understood that they had already fallen for the trap of the inn. Even if they had ten thousand mouths, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves. Liang Tian waved his hands, pretending to be extremely angry, he said: ”Innkeeper, this is a trap, let's go see the officials.”
”Let's go to the officials!” Dong Jian immediately followed and shouted loudly, as though he was even more anxious to meet an official than the shopkeeper, ”I'm not lying, there is actually someone setting up a trap at the feet of the Son of Heaven!”
In fact, Liang Tian and Dong Jian were both unwilling to see the official, they still had to collect information from the Luoyang, and did not want the authorities to notice them, it was just a bluff just now.
Just as everyone was making a racket to go see the official, the Mr. Clerk suddenly stopped everyone and said to the shopkeeper: ”Shopkeeper, now that we have found him, if we were to cause a ruckus in the government, isn't this the shopkeeper's face? It would be better to discuss and discuss with the two Guest s and settle this privately. ”
Liang Tian and Dong Jian immediately understood, they were planning to extort him, and the reason they planned this plan, was because they wanted to obtain his money. If not for the big matter of the Lord General, they really wanted to go with them and cause a ruckus in the government.
”No way, no way. This must not be done in private. We have to go to the government to find out!” Although Liang Tian and Dong Jian did not want to see an official, they still had to keep their mouths shut to prevent them from seeing an official.
”The two Guest s, he is in your carriage, it is your fault that he went to heaven in a lawsuit. ”I think it's better to keep it private so that we don't suffer physical pain.” The Mr. Clerk glared at Liang Tian and Dong Jian fiercely as he spoke.
”Old masters, I think it's better to keep this a private matter.” Just then, Zhang Xiang came up to advise. He did not know the background of Liang Tian and Dong Jian, and he was even more afraid of meeting the government officials. For the sake of letting his family members die in the government officials' hands, he did not want the master that he had just sought to go bankrupt.
”Alright then. Tell me, how can I settle this matter privately?” Liang Tian pretended to be helpless, and said while shaking his head.
”This is our head storekeeper's beloved concubinage. The head storekeeper likes it extremely well, and now that he has been tainted by you, our head storekeeper might even be very sad.” The Mr. Clerk stopped and looked at the shopkeeper, but he did not seem to be sad, he turned and said to Liang Tian and Dong Jian: ”You guys take out a hundred thousand and let our shopkeeper vent his anger, let's forget about this.”
