They also blew smoke into the two adjacent rooms, so they were not afraid of the noise made by moving the door latch.
The innkeeper saw with his own eyes that all the cash boxes were in the middle room, so they had no intention of going into the two neighboring rooms. They just knocked the people out first to prevent waking them up.
The dagger made a few clicks, and then with a clang, the door bolt was opened.
The innkeeper's eyes lit up and he reached out and pushed open the door.
A group of people rushed into Chen Yong's room and began to search the room in the dim moonlight from the window.
After a moment, the innkeeper's brows furrowed in anxiety.
"Light up!"
What happened? There were 40 boxes of silver, but none of them were found.
The room is so small, and so many of them searched for a long time but couldn’t find the box. Where did the box go?
As soon as the innkeeper finished speaking, his men took out a tinder and lit the candle in the room.
The dark room suddenly lit up.
The innkeeper felt inexplicably uneasy. He frowned and looked around.
"Where's the box?"
The men looked at each other in confusion; they didn't know where the box had gone.
What happened? They all saw the box being carried into this room before dinner.
Ever since the silver entered the room, they have been watching it and no one was seen carrying the box out.
The innkeeper frowned and looked at Chen Yong lying on the bed.
After hesitating for a few breaths, he walked forward to the bedside.
There was nothing on the bed except a thin quilt and the sleeping Chen Yong.
The innkeeper took a few glances, then bent down and reached out to touch Shen Yong's body.
"What are you touching?"
Chen Yong lightly opened his eyelids, stared at the busy innkeeper, and asked in a calm tone.
The innkeeper paused, looked at Chen Yong with horror, and took two steps back in fright.
"You—you you you—"
"Why am I not unconscious?"
Shen Yong sat up directly, glanced at the horrified shopkeeper, raised the corners of his lips and sneered.
The thugs suddenly saw Shen Yong sitting up, and their pupils trembled violently.
Even such a large dose of drugs couldn't knock him out. He must be a ruthless person.
The innkeeper looked at Chen Yong sitting there motionless, then glanced at the dozen or so thugs he had brought with him, and suddenly felt confident.
"I didn't want to kill you originally, but now that you're awake, I can only send you away."
The innkeeper raised his hand and said, "Go ahead, beat him to death."
Only the dead can keep secrets.
In fact, he didn't want anyone to die. After all, his inn was in the city and business was pretty good.
In the past, when he met wealthy guests, he would put some drugs in the food to make them unconscious, and then steal some silver, jewelry, etc.
Of course, he only stole valuable and small items, so that if the guests didn't count carefully when they woke up in the morning, they wouldn't notice.
This is how the inn has been operating over the years.
Unexpectedly, I met a tough guy today and had to see blood.
When the thugs heard this, they waved the daggers in their hands and rushed towards Shen Yong.
Chen Yong didn't use his internal force this time. He raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the thug who was swinging at him, and broke it with a snap.
The thug screamed and curled up on the ground in an instant.
The thugs who rushed over slowly paused and looked at each other.
"Let's go together!"
Chen Yong curled his lips into a smile, looked at the group of people rushing towards him, and directly raised his leg to sweep across.
His legs were wrapped in gusts of wind and whistled towards everyone.
From left to right, the thugs were swept away one after another.
After a few bangs, the thugs all fell on their backs on the ground, covering the places on their bodies where they were kicked and howling in pain.
For a moment, screams were heard one after another in the room.
"You you you-----"
The innkeeper looked at the fallen thug in shock.
He looked up at Chen Yong, who was still sitting steadily on the bed, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Do you know who is behind me?"
"I advise you to hand over the silver quickly."
"Otherwise, don't even think about leaving Danyun City safely..."
Chen Yong raised his eyelids and glanced at the innkeeper lightly.
"I didn't know there was such a black shop in Danyun City."
"Tell me, who is behind you?"
If you tell him, he will go to the house of the mastermind tonight and arrest him.
If you dare to steal from the greatest thief in the Great Celestial Empire, you will have to pay a price.
The innkeeper looked at Chen Yong in shock, he didn't expect that he was not frightened.
He frowned and looked at Shen Yong. The more he looked, the more he felt that Shen Yong had an extraordinary bearing. He might be a descendant of a prominent family in the capital who came out to gain experience.
The innkeeper's eyes rolled, "Whose son are you?"
"If you are familiar with my master, I can pretend that what happened tonight never happened."
"Ha!" Shen Yong laughed out loud.
"You're a defeated general, and you dare to negotiate with me?"
"I gave you a chance, but you are useless."
"Since you are unwilling to reveal the master behind you, then let your master come and collect your body."
As soon as Shen Yong finished speaking, he pressed his hands on the bed and jumped out instantly.
The innkeeper had just opened his mouth to refute when his neck was grabbed by Shen Yong.
He trembled all over and looked at Shen Yong with horror.
“Uh…you…”
How can it be so fast?
Chen Yong raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.
"Who's behind you?"
The innkeeper saw the murderous intent flashing in Chen Yong's eyes, and his pupils trembled with fear, and he almost peed himself.
"I...I said----"
The innkeeper, whose face flushed red from holding back his anger, pointed at Chen Yong's hand.
He was pinched so hard that he could hardly breathe.
Shen Yong let go of the innkeeper and said, "Speak."
The innkeeper covered his neck and coughed twice. He looked at his subordinates twisted and wailing on the ground and took a deep breath.
"My master is Zhang Peng, the nephew of Master Zhang."
"This inn is run by Zhang Peng."
"We did this only because of Zhang Peng's instructions."
Every wrong has its perpetrator, if you have any problems, find Zhang Peng, don't find him.
He was not wrong, the owner of this inn was Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng opened many shops using the name of Master Zhang.
Of course, Zhang Peng had no idea that he took the opportunity to steal the customers' money.
It's Zhang Peng's fault for being so stingy and paying these people very little.
Over the years, if he hadn't led the guys in the inn to steal the guests' money, they would have starved to death.
Not to mention a wife, children and a warm home.
There have never been any customers causing trouble, because when guests check in and when the food is delivered, the waiters in the store will call out their names, and this store is under the name of Mr. Zhang's family.
Everyone who has entered Danyun City knows Master Zhang. Even if they know that they have lost money, they will think that it is better to have less trouble than more and just let it go.
