Chapter 303 Chu Merchants

"Xiaojiu, they've left, we can go now."

After the three NPCs left, the Tyrant came out from the corner.

Xiaojiu didn't let him go out just now, but the smell of the mutton skewers kept coming into his nose, and it was so fragrant that his saliva was about to flow.

An Jiu stared at the three people who left, then stroked his chin and thought about it.

Among these three people, Jiang Er has some brains, but not much. Young Master Guo is completely brainless and has no heart. Only Young Master Li looks very smart. Moreover, the Dingyuan Marquis family has never taken sides in the court, nor supported anyone. They have always kept a low profile and waited for the opportunity. They are truly smart people...

"Xiaojiu, let's go." The tyrant stared at the lamb skewers and urged.

An Jiu nodded.

There aren't many people at this point.

They found a seat, and the Tyrant started eating while An Jiu looked around.

She found that Huajie Street looked much cleaner and tidier than before, and public security had improved a lot under Yan Wenjie's management.

At this time, someone patted An Jiu on the shoulder.

"It's you. I didn't dare to recognize you just now."

An Jiu turned around and met Sister Hong's smiling face.

Before Anjiu could say anything, Sister Hong was pressed on the table by the tyrant.

[Dare to hit Xiaojiu...]

The tyrant had a cold face, and the stick in his hand seemed like it would pierce Sister Hong's head in the next second.

Sister Hong was confused for a moment, but didn't shout. She just looked at An Jiu for help. An Jiu was startled, came to her senses, and quickly stopped him.

"open."

The tyrant looked at her.

An Jiu said: "This is our friend Sister Hong, have you forgotten?"

Of course the tyrant remembered. She was just a woman in red clothes. What did she have to do with him? Who was her friend?

But he let it go anyway.

Sister Hong rubbed her arm, glanced at the tyrant, and whispered to An Jiu: "You still have such a bad temper. Will he beat you in private?"

An Jiu shook his head in amusement.

Sister Hong added, "You can't have a man who hits people..."

The tyrant gave her a cold look and said loudly: "I won't hit Xiaojiu."

Sister Hong snorted coldly, all men who hit others say they don’t hit others.

But I didn't dare tell him.

An Jiu pulled Sister Hong aside, apologized to her, and politely exchanged a few words with her, asking her how her business was.

"Business hasn't been good lately." Sister Hong said, "But the security in Hua Street is much better now. I'll go out for a walk at night when I have nothing to do. By the way, didn't you want to find a merchant from Chu State?"

An Jiu paused: "What Chu merchant?"

Sister Hong sighed: "It's the rose scented lotion..."

An Jiu suddenly remembered.

Isn’t it the one used by the proprietress of the scent shop? They said it was given to them by a merchant from the State of Chu?

"Any news?" An Jiu felt that at this point, it was pointless to find the businessman. The murderer of Concubine Chun had been caught, and Concubine Shu and the others were all imprisoned.

But since Sister Hong said so, I might as well go and take a look.

So, the Tyrant had not eaten half of his mutton kebabs when he was dragged out by An Jiu.

【Unhappy, unhappy, unhappy. 】

The tyrant glared at Sister Hong unhappily while eating.

Sister Hong was shocked: "No, why is he always staring at me?"

An Jiu laughed dryly: "Don't pay attention to him, he...he has a bad temper."

Sister Hong curled her lips: "He will definitely hit someone."

An Jiu "..."

The Chu merchant was staying at Sister Hong’s inn, and An Jiu suggested that they go and take a look first.

Sister Hong nodded: "Don't worry, I know..."

After a pause, she whispered, "We just caught so many Chu spies two days ago. When the Chu people come, we have to be more careful."

The inn was quiet. Sister Hong gave them a room next to the merchant from Chu State.

Just as An Jiu was about to go upstairs, the door of the next room opened and two people came out.

A slightly fat middle-aged man with a mustache and a smile on his face came down with his servant. As soon as he saw Sister Hong, he started laughing.

"Honghong, why did you come back so late?"

Sister Hong smiled and punched him in the chest: "I'm going to buy you some lamb skewers, your favorite."

"Honghong still understands me."

The middle-aged man touched Sister Hong's face, and Sister Hong smiled and called him an old pervert.

After the two of them flirted with each other, they noticed An Jiu and Tyrant. Tyrant didn't even know he had eaten his mutton skewers. He stretched his neck and looked curiously at the middle-aged man, then at Sister Hong, and then at the middle-aged man again.

The man sneered: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

The tyrant was still staring at him. The middle-aged man seemed to find him interesting and wanted to take another look at him. An Jiu said sorry and pulled the tyrant upstairs.

After entering the room, the tyrant stared at Anjiu for two times. When Anjiu looked over, he quickly turned his head away, looking like a guilty thief.

An Jiu leaned against the wall to listen to what was being said next door.

"Xiaojiu, what are you doing?" The tyrant couldn't help but ask curiously.

An Jiu said: "Listen to what is being said next door?"

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the Chu merchants.

However, I have been traveling with Lin San and others recently, so I believe they have also come to the inn. I might as well let Lin San and others go and ask about it. If there is no problem, then it will be fine.

The tyrant came closer, put his ear to the wall, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

An Jiu shook his head.

I heard nothing.

Maybe the voices over there are low,

The tyrant tilted his head and looked at her: "Then I'll go and listen and tell you when I come back."

After saying that, he climbed out of the window and lay on the window next door in an upside-down position as before.

In the next room.

When the middle-aged man returned to the house, his face darkened.

"Any news?"

"No."

"We really underestimated them. All of our people have been arrested..."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of his men walked to the window and pushed it open.

"What's wrong?" The middle-aged man walked over and looked outside, but saw nothing.

"Perhaps I am overthinking."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "This is Daxia, we still have to be careful."

He paused and said, "Go see who lives next door?"

He thought of the big, stupid guy just now. Although he didn't look very smart, judging from his dress, he was not an ordinary person.

An Jiu was feeling nervous when he saw the tyrant coming in. He was about to speak when he glanced out the window.

[Hey, is there anyone here?]

An Jiu hurriedly pulled him over and said to him loudly: "You can't eat these mutton skewers after you finish them. Eating too much will cause stomach upset."

The tyrant's attention was quickly drawn. He was a little unhappy: "I want to eat something else."

An Jiu said: "It's not good to eat too much at night."

The tyrant was unhappy.

He has eaten it many times, why is it that it’s not good now?

Could it be that Xiaojiu was lying?

"I want to eat it." said the tyrant angrily.

Eat eat eat eat eat, eat it.

An Jiu took a string of meat and blocked his mouth.

After a while, An Jiu saw the tyrant looking outside.

【Gone.】

"If Xiaojiu wasn't here, I would have killed him."

The tyrant muttered.

An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What did you hear?"

The tyrant turned his face away, obviously not wanting to talk to An Jiu.

An Jiu said with a smile: "Good Majesty, tell me what happened, and I will take you downstairs to eat sweet soup later."

The tyrant heard a few words.

An Jiu was silent for a moment. Just from these few sentences, it was a bit suspicious. Moreover, this Chu merchant was sharp enough to detect the existence of the tyrant and even chased after him. This was the second floor. How could he eavesdrop from outside without some skills?

It's really suspicious...

Lin San also thought the same thing.

They didn't know why the emperor and Xiaojiu came to the inn again, so they saw the emperor eavesdropping outside. After that, the emperor ran back to his room. They saw another window open, and a person was hanging upside down outside the window in the same position as the emperor, eavesdropping...

This is weird.

How good is the emperor’s martial arts?

They all felt it was incredible. What level of customers could this be?

Lin San immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Keep an eye on these guys," he said to his men.
