Chapter 84 Postmaster's Speculation



Although the postmaster was full of curiosity, he still showed great courtesy and led the way.

After staying in the post station for a long time, I have seen all kinds of monsters and ghosts.

Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. Just check the documents, stamp them, collect the money and provide food and drinks.

Other matters have nothing to do with him, a mere postmaster.

"These two guest rooms are slightly larger with two queen beds, and this one is slightly smaller with one queen bed."

The postmaster stopped at the door of the guest room, pointed at the three guest rooms and said to Chen Yong,

"If that's not enough, there's a large guest room upstairs."

There are only two large guest rooms on the second floor, with a small guest room sandwiched between them, which is right at the corner.

Shen Yong glanced at the three guest rooms.

"Just these three."

The postmaster stared at the big "prisoner" on Chen Yong's chest, his eyes flickered slightly, and he pulled the corners of his lips and laughed dryly.

"Okay, I'll go prepare food for you..."

Not simple, the temperament of these people is not simple.

However, the prisoners exiled from the capital must have good family backgrounds.

But in the past, the prisoners passing by were always covered in dust and dirt, and they all looked like they had lost all hope in life.

Unlike this group of prisoners, although they also looked dusty and dirty, their eyes were bright and there was no sense of emptiness and despair in their eyes.

Shen Yong glanced at the postmaster who was walking downstairs, then looked at Old Madam Shen.

"Mom, you and your sisters-in-law will live in the room on the right, and I'll live in the middle room."

The house on the left is close to the stairs and can be used for the officials to live in.

"I think it's okay." Old Madam Shen nodded and turned to look at her daughters-in-law.

"Everyone go in and take a rest first..."

Lao Qi lived next to them, so she felt a little relieved.

Moreover, their room is not near the stairs, but one inside. If someone else comes over, they can easily find it.

"Okay." Cheng Suihua glanced at the room on the right and took the lead in responding.

The other sisters-in-law also nodded.

After Shen Yong saw all the female members of the Shen family enter the room, he opened the door of his own room and walked in.

The room with one bed is not small, and it has everything you need, including a table, chairs, and benches. These rooms should be considered the better rooms in the inn.

Shen Yong casually picked up a set of tea sets on the table and directly hung it in the takeaway mall.

[Ding, sold a tea set, received RMB, account balance RMB...]

"Tsk, the things in this small inn are quite valuable. A humble tea set can be worth 350,000 yuan."

Shen Yong curled his lips and chuckled as he sighed, his eyes fixed on the set of tables and chairs.

Looking at the tables and chairs that were covered with patina and a bit shiny, he frowned slightly.

This should be considered an antique.

Just as Chen Yong was about to hang the tables and chairs in the takeaway mall, there was a knock on the door.

“Knock knock knock~”

"Boss..."

Sun Ren knocked on the door gently, leaned over to the door and called out.

Behind him followed a group of officials with ingratiating smiles on their faces.

Chen Yong raised his brows slightly. He had heard the footsteps of the officers coming up the stairs a long time ago.

And I clearly heard the officers opening the door of the next room.

Unexpectedly, these officers did not go back to their rooms to rest, but came and knocked on his door.

"Come in!"

Chen Yong pulled over a chair, sat down, and looked towards the door.

The door was not locked. After hearing Shen Yong's voice, Sun Ren carefully opened the door.

"Boss..."

Sun Ren led the officers in and just as he started shouting, Liu Yi bent over and spoke first.

"Boss, how can you live in such a small room?"

"The large room on the left is worthy of the boss."

Liu Yi glanced around as he spoke, and seeing that the table was empty, he immediately continued,

"Oh, there's not even a tea set on the table. How do the people at the post station do their work?"

They just opened the door of the big room next door and took a look. There was a complete set of tea sets on the table, and the tables, chairs and benches looked cleaner than those in this room.

Sun Ren rolled his eyes at Liu Yi, looked at Chen Yong, clasped his fists and saluted,

"Boss, please move to the next room. It's more spacious and you'll be more comfortable there."

He was a fence-sitter. He was clamoring to get Chen Yong, and he didn't care about the Seven-Day Heartbreak Powder on him.

Now seeing that Chen Yong has recruited so many imperial guards and started to flatter them, he thinks Liu Yi is the most capable.

Shen Yong waved his hand.

"No, I'll stay in this room. No need to say anything more, just go back to your room."

The reason he lived in this house was to be closer to the women of the Shen family, so that they could feel at ease and increase his dependence on him.

"Boss~~" Liu Yi shouted anxiously, "How can this be possible? There's not even a tea set in this room..."

At this moment, the postmaster came in with a waiter carrying a food box and just heard what Liu Yi said.

The postmaster glanced at the table in surprise.

This shouldn't be the case. He has tea sets in every room. Why isn't there one in this room?

Although there is not much water and it is expensive, the gentleman staying in the guest room can still afford a pot of tea.

The postmaster knocked on the door, interrupting the conversation inside.

"I'm so sorry, I probably forgot to put the tea set in when I cleaned the room this morning. I'll have someone bring up a set right away."

"Also, the food is ready. Would you like to eat in the lobby downstairs or in your room?"

The postmaster stood at the door, looking at the room full of people with a smile.

He had just seen that these officers were very respectful to the man in prison uniform.

It seems that the man in prison uniform is no ordinary person.

However, these officials had not yet shown him the documents and stamped them, so he was not sure who these people were.

However, looking at the number of prisoners, he roughly guessed that these people should be the family of the Duke of Protectorate that had been making headlines not long ago.

It is really unfair for such a loyal and heroic family to have their entire property confiscated and exiled.

Anyway, he didn't believe that the Duke of Protectorate would collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country. The Shen family had produced many great generals for generations, and all of them were loyal and brave.

Besides, no one knows what went wrong with the current generation of the Duke of Huguo. Of the seven sons, except for the youngest who is still unmarried, the other six have wives but have no children.

It's strange that there is not even any offspring.

Shen Yong and the officers all looked towards the door.

"Eat in the room. The women next door can also leave their food here with me."

Chen Yong glanced at the food boxes in the waiters' hands. His first reaction was that this food box was well made, with patterns carved on it, and might be more valuable than the tea set.

I've been so busy eating and drinking lately that I didn't even think of selling anything on the way.

Thinking of the imperial guards who died at the gate of the last post station, and the fact that they couldn't sell their swords and bows and arrows, he felt a pang of regret in his heart.

Uncomfortable!

It’s so uncomfortable!

This is a loss of one hundred million.
