From the silent murmurs, the shopkeeper's anger became more and more uncontrollable, and he raised his head and shouted in the middle of the night!
This howl instantly woke up many people staying in the inn, but during this special period, although everyone was confused, no one went downstairs to find out what was going on.
Hearing the noise, the shopkeeper's wife hurried out from the inner room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she saw a bulged brick under the desk.
There is a lot of fresh soil next to the bricks.
"What's wrong, boss? Why are you still awake in the middle of the night and yelling?"
The shopkeeper's wife thought that the brick was just kicked away by her husband in anger, and did not take it too seriously. She walked up to the shopkeeper, grabbed his arm, and asked dissatisfiedly.
Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper heard her voice, he suddenly turned around and slapped her hard on the face!
"Is it you? Is it you who stole my silver?
The more than one thousand taels of silver in my box and the several hundred taels of silver on the table are all gone!
If it’s you, you must be a traitor, and you’ve used my money to support your family…”
There was a huge quarrel downstairs, and the crying of the shopkeeper's wife echoed throughout the inn. This fight lasted for who knows how many hours. In the middle, some dissatisfied guests came down and shouted a few words, but were directly yelled back by the shopkeeper's anger.
Afterwards, after beating his wife, the shopkeeper asked all the waiters to get up and search every room one by one.
Of course, many people would not cooperate with him, but the shopkeeper finally called the police over, forcing everyone to take out their belongings for inspection.
Those who could afford to stay in his inn all had a few of these on them. Although the innkeeper’s silver was not marked, he liked to mark each of his own banknotes.
But when he saw that the silver and silver notes that everyone took out were not his, he became even more confused.
It was clear that he had been gone for less than half a cup of tea, and the box where he kept the silver bills was locked with a copper lock. Even if the thief was quick, he couldn't have pried open the lock so quickly, taken away all his money, and left no clues?
Although his own silver was not found, the shopkeeper's mood gradually calmed down when he looked at the silver on the customers, and greed appeared in his eyes again!
Under the dominance of the innkeeper and the officials, all the guests in the inn swallowed all their grievances in this farce. Chaoge also pretended to be indignant and went back to sleep cursing.
The next day, at dawn, people came downstairs one after another to check out and leave.
After all, the owner of an inn is so powerful, and all their money is exposed. If they don't leave, they are afraid that they will lose the little money in their pockets.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was not at the counter early this morning, so those guests who wanted to get their deposit back and check out naturally could not check out.
After waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper finally showed up.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I was in a bad mood last night because I lost the silver, so no one slept well.
I'm going to the government office to deal with the funeral, so I hurried back.
You guys are going to check out, right? No hurry, no hurry. I asked the kitchen to cook some porridge and steamed buns early in the morning. This breakfast is my apology for the trouble I caused you last night.
Because the silver is lost, this inn has no cash for the time being. Please have breakfast first. I will go to the bank to exchange some cash and then return your deposit."
Seeing that the shopkeeper's attitude was much better today, the customer, who was originally very angry, gradually calmed down.
After leaving the inn, they naturally planned to leave the city.
Before I came here, I thought this city was the hope for survival. But after I came here, I realized that this place is even more cruel than the world outside where people are fleeing famine.
Chaoge looked at the shopkeeper's back as he left, and curled the corners of his mouth.
Such a greedy person would be so kind as to give them porridge, haha...
Sure enough, as soon as the shopkeeper left, the waiter served a bowl of white rice porridge and white flour steamed buns to every guest sitting in the lobby.
Everyone adhered to the principle of not taking advantage of others, so of course they ate it.
Chaoge watched Aunt Li pick up the bowl calmly without stopping her.
If Aunt Li doesn't finish her food, how will the shopkeeper take action later?
Chaoge lowered her head and pretended to drink porridge, but in fact she poured the porridge directly into the space. She even broke the steamed buns into pieces and put them into the space.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a group of people fell down in the lobby of the inn, and Chaoge followed suit.
After a while, the shopkeeper who said he was going to the bank to cash in silver showed up. Chaoge didn't need to open his eyes. Once he activated his wood-based skills, he could see his wretched and greedy face clearly!
“Take all the valuables from them, load them onto the carriages, and drive them out of the city.
Haha, what a bunch of dogs!
My money is missing, and since I can't find the thief, I'll have to pay it back from you!"
Chaoge looked at the greedy face of the shopkeeper and silently took out the syringe, the anesthetic had already been prepared.
In addition to anesthetics, she also deliberately bought a purse and hung it around her waist.
When the three waiters came to Chaoge, Chaoge shot each of them with a needle, and the two waiters fell to the ground!
"What, what's going on!?"
Looking at the two waiters lying on the ground, the shopkeeper's cheerful smile suddenly froze on his face, and he stepped forward and kicked the two waiters.
But the two waiters didn't respond at all. They were just like the drugged guests, unconscious like dead pigs.
