Chen Li opened her eyes, listened to the subtle movement coming from outside the door, and reached out to push Bai Yao who was sleeping next to her.
Bai Yao opened her eyes, and the confusion in her eyes instantly disappeared. Then she heard the subtle movement and turned to look at the person next to her.
In the darkness, there was no fear in her eyes, only disgust and a flash of murderous intent.
Chen Li asked her to stay on the bed. She tiptoed down to the bed and came to the door. At this time, her mental power also covered the entire inn.
There were a total of six people in the inn, not counting them. Two of them were standing at the door of their room, and the remaining four were divided into several groups and went to the room of that couple and the room of Shen Erhe and his wife respectively.
At first, Shen Li couldn't understand how these people had the courage to do this?
If someone disappears in your inn, the inn will be held responsible no matter what, and the authorities will be involved. Isn't that digging your own grave?
It wasn't until Chen Li saw the six bodies lying in the cellar that she understood.
The six bodies in the cellar might be the real boss and the waiter. As for the six people now, they are most likely fugitives or habitual criminals.
After completing the job, they sold the person out, took the money and left. No one would know that it was them who did it.
It was dark inside the inn, and soon the wooden door latch was pushed open.
"Crack~"
With the subtle sound of the door opening, the door opened, and what connected the two people was Chen Li's mental attack. The smiles on their faces froze instantly, and they both fainted and lay limply on the ground.
Except for the couple's room, sounds of fighting were heard in other rooms. Shen Changshan and others who had been awake immediately got up to help, and the two people in Shen Erhe's room were quickly subdued.
When they came, Shen Xiaoya was holding a wooden stick as thick as her arm and was helping Shen Changshan deal with the two men. After seeing her own people coming, she retreated to her mother with the stick.
The lights in the inn also lit up. The other two people noticed something was wrong and immediately dropped the people they were tying up and ran out to check. They were knocked unconscious by Shen Yuanzhou and Lin Feng who had been waiting on the side.
In a hurry, they made a lot of noise, but the people in the room did not wake up, which shows that the drug is quite effective.
Shen Yuanzhou took out a tinderbox and blew it up. Lin Feng picked up the children they had tied up, untied the ropes on their bodies, and threw them back on the bed, not forgetting to cover them with a blanket.
After doing all this, he closed the door and went out. The couple on the bed never noticed.
The two cousins tied up the man and dragged him to the lobby downstairs. The wooden floor made a creaking sound.
Downstairs, except for a few elderly elders who did not come down, everyone else was here. At this moment, looking at the few people tied to the pillars in the middle of the lobby, they all looked silently at Shen Changshan's family.
"What should we do with these people?"
This is not a chaotic escape route now. If we kill him, we will be arrested by the government!
Chen Li had looked at the map, so she knew there was a county town ahead.
"There's a county town eight miles ahead. Tomorrow, Fourth Brother and First Cousin will ride to the county government office to report to the officials and have them take the man away."
We can't kill people at will here, otherwise these people would have been dealt with long ago.
He took out a packet of knockout drugs and said, "Big brother, Third brother, feed them this knockout drug. Don't let them cause trouble in the middle of the night."
"Okay, I'll watch here tonight, you guys go back and get some rest."
We still have to travel tomorrow, so it’s impossible for all of us to stay here to guard them.
Shen Qi'an brought down a quilt for Shen Yuanzhou, and then went back to sleep.
The rain continued to fall until it finally stopped at dawn. Just when Shen Jingyuan and Lin Feng wanted to ride horses, they were stopped by the couple.
The couple looked at the commotion in the lobby and thought that Shen Changshan and the others were bad guys. Just as they were about to ask something, the tied-up people slowly woke up.
After figuring out his situation, he opened his mouth and started cursing, "Who is it that tied me up? Let me go!"
"You guys, why are you tying us up? We want to report to the police!"
Hearing this, the couple's faces instantly became alert, and they protected their two children and stepped back.
Shen Qi'an's expression remained unchanged as he nodded in agreement: "You are indeed going to report to the authorities, we are indeed going to report to the authorities, who is the bad guy? The authorities will know once they investigate."
"you……"
"As for the body in the cellar, it's been dead for several days, and we only arrived here yesterday afternoon. What do you think the government will do?"
Several people panicked instantly. They originally thought that these were a group of fat sheep, but they didn't expect that they were a group of people who were trying to kill them.
Moreover, they even knew what was under the cellar and could tell it without batting an eyelid. They seemed to be tough guys.
When the couple heard that there was a body under the cellar, they turned pale with fright. However, when they heard Shen Qi'an say that he would report to the police, their worries were reduced.
The man thought of some strange things in the room this morning, and that they hadn't woken up since they entered the room once last night. It was impossible for them to sleep so soundly outside. It was obvious that someone had tampered with the room.
"Hey, young man, did they enter our room last night?"
Shen Qi'an had no intention of hiding anything and told the truth directly: "Well, if we were not here, you might not be able to find your two children."
Hearing this, the man felt a surge of fear, and after a moment he took the initiative to speak again: "Are you going to the county government office ahead to report to the authorities?"
"Um."
"However, let's put it this way. Brothers, you guys stay here and guard. I was originally going to the county government office. I'll report it to the police for you."
Shen Qi'an agreed after a brief thought. They were still refugees and it was not easy for them to deal with the government.
The couple immediately harnessed their horses to the carriage and drove away at a very fast speed.
The people in the inn ate breakfast first. As for the six people who were tied up, they were annoyed by the noise and simply stuffed their mouths.
After finishing their meal, everyone pulled out the carriage and harnessed it. Chen Li asked them to go ahead and she would wait here until the officials arrived and then follow them.
Half an hour later, the government officials finally arrived. At this time, the inn was empty except for 6 people tied up and 6 corpses.
The man was a little dumbfounded, but when he saw that the man was still tied up, he didn't think too much about it.
Chen Li had already ridden away when the government office was still two miles away from him. It was a bit troublesome to deal with the people in the government office, so he didn't want to face them directly.
The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is changeable. Sometimes it is sunny and sometimes it rains. Fortunately, the rain is not heavy and does not last long, so we can still travel, but the speed is not as fast as before.
