Chapter 9
"Hey young man, there is no one else here, what can't you say?" Everyone in the inn started to boo.

At this time, Qin Ling arrived just in time with Ma Delu. Ma Delu was very reluctant at first, but when he saw Qin Ling took out a lot of silver taels, he came over curiously to have a look.When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned and lost his mind just like Qin Ling before.

Since the establishment of Dalaifu Inn, there have never been so many guests.

Ma Delu had long forgotten his injury, and excitedly went to Chen Feng and asked, "Where did you find so many people?"

"Stop talking nonsense, and listen to my orders later." Chen Feng immediately said to everyone present, "I know everyone's intentions, but as I said just now, the case handled by Jin Yiwei and Mingtang is not trivial, if I reveal it, it will be difficult to guarantee Those two yamen will not blame me, I am just a waiter in the inn..."

"Enough!" The middle-aged man with a mustache interrupted Chen Feng, "Don't say that there is nothing, do you think that Jin Yiwei and Mingtang are full and will come to blame you, a little guy? Tell me directly, what are you going to do? How can you tell us about it?"

Chen Feng's face changed slightly, it was really uncomfortable to be called a small person, but it was the truth.Yesterday he confronted Jin Yiwei Qianhu face to face, but the adults of Qianhu didn't bother to make a move, so no one would care about this little guy like Chen Feng.

Now that he has said this, Chen Feng stopped talking nonsense and said with a smile: "Since everyone has entered the inn, you should have something to eat, so as not to be laughed at by the Laifu Inn for its poor hospitality. After eating, I will tell you what happened yesterday.”

"Then what are you waiting for, get some food!" Everyone started to yell again.

Ma Delu leaned into Chen Feng's ear and whispered: "The kitchen doesn't have so many things to entertain everyone."

Chen Feng smiled slightly and ignored Ma Delu's question, but said loudly: "Everyone, our place is just a small inn. It was not well run before you guys came. We can't even fill our own stomachs. We really can't provide a decent hotel." Here are some things to entertain you all. I’ll ask the chef to make some meat buns now, and I don’t know how many we can make.”

Everyone present looked at each other in confusion. Ma Delu was also stunned for a long time, and quickly asked: "A Feng, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"

Chen Feng whispered: "There should be materials for making ten meat buns in the kitchen, right?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Then don't talk nonsense, hurry up and make ten meat buns, no more and no less, and fast!"

Ma Delu was puzzled, Chen Feng urged: "If you want to make money, hurry up and make buns!"

As soon as money was mentioned, Ma Delu hurried to the kitchen, and Qin Ling also went to the kitchen to help.

The people present got a little impatient, and a rough man shouted: "Hey, we don't want to eat meat buns, just tell us about Jin Yiwei's handling of the case, and we will leave immediately!"

Chen Feng said with a pleasant tone: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. If you are not entertained by the inn, I won't be able to tell you what happened. To be clear, as long as anyone eats the buns, I will definitely tell you the truth."

"Can you keep your word?"

"Hey, I, Er Chenfeng from Laifu Inn, must do what I say. It's just that meat buns can't be eaten for free, and you have to pay for them. Of course, you can pay as much as you want, after all, our chef can't do it for nothing. Meat buns, you always have to give some money for materials and rewards, don’t you?”

Everyone present looked at each other and nodded frequently, because what Chen Feng said was indeed reasonable.It's just that they don't know that they are falling into Chen Feng's trap step by step.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Ma Delu and Qin Ling came out with hot meat buns.

The eyes of everyone present were shining. They had been waiting impatiently for a long time. As long as they ate the buns, they would get useful information.

Chen Feng's face suddenly turned ugly, and he pretended to argue with Ma Delu and Qin Ling in a low voice, and then turned to everyone apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the ingredients in the kitchen are only enough to make ten meat buns, so only ten people can make them." Come and enjoy."

"Then why don't you go buy some more ingredients?" Someone immediately suggested.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "No, no, no, since there are only ten meat buns, maybe this is God's will! In fact, it is enough for one of you to eat the buns. Let that person tell the information to the others. Doesn't this solve the problem? Is it all resolved?"

Everyone present was silent. They each worked for different masters and did not know each other.Those high-ranking officials will definitely not expose themselves, and the sent people will naturally rarely show up.

These people will not exchange information with good intentions. Several discerning people have already seen Chen Feng's plan, but even if they saw it, they can't do anything about it.Are you threatening with the master behind you?As the saying goes, people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and a villain like Chen Feng is the worst thing to provoke.

The middle-aged man with a mustache said: "I will buy you a meat bun for ten taels of silver!"

As he said that, he took out the silver, Chen Feng looked around the crowd intentionally, and wanted them to raise the price, but most of them didn't react, so Chen Feng had no choice but to take the silver and hand over the buns.

The middle-aged man ate the steamed stuffed bun angrily, stepped forward and asked, "Should you tell me what happened yesterday?"

Chen Feng smiled and said: "There are too many people here, please take a step to speak."

When the two arrived in the kitchen, Chen Feng said: "Yesterday, Jin Yiwei and Ming Tang arrested one of the famous double-clawed monster thieves in the rivers and lakes, Zhu Rong known as the golden-clawed thief!"

The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, let alone him, those high officials in the court must have never heard of the Golden Claw God Thief.

Chen Feng continued: "This Zhu Rong was involved in the destruction of Hidden Sword Villa. It is said that he also stole some things from Hidden Sword Villa. I guess he was caught because of this matter."

"Finished?" the middle-aged man asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Yeah." Chen Feng nodded.

"What does this matter have to do with the officials in the court?" The middle-aged man seemed to be about to burst into anger.

Chen Feng quickly explained: "Spend money to buy peace of mind, at least you already know that this matter is a matter of the world, and it will definitely not involve the ministers of the court. The master behind you can also feel at ease."

"You, you, you..." The middle-aged man was speechless for a while, and spent his money on a useless piece of information.But on second thought, entering the inn and eating steamed stuffed buns cost a total of 12 taels of silver. This amount of money is very much in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the owner behind him, it is not worth mentioning at all.Spending this small amount of money to make yourself feel at ease seems to be straight.

It's just that Chen Feng swayed him, so he was a little angry.The middle-aged man waved his sleeves, stepped out of the kitchen, and walked straight to the outside of the inn.

But everyone surrounded him and immediately asked questions.The middle-aged man suffered a loss, so of course he wanted to let others continue to suffer a loss, so he only left one sentence: "If you want to find out the information, buy some meat buns and eat them yourself!"

After the middle-aged man left, Chen Feng continued to confuse: "There are only nine meat buns left now, so everyone should buy them while they are still hot."

"I'll pay ten taels of silver too!" One person hurriedly took out the taels of silver, but was stopped by the other.

"Wait a minute, I'll pay 12 taels..."

This is the beginning of the evil bidding. As the meat buns become less and less, the price is also rising.And those who ate the meat buns received the same information as the middle-aged people.Although everyone is filled with righteous indignation, they can only suffer from this dull loss.

The last meat bun pushed the bidding to a climax. Those who got the information would definitely not reveal what they knew, so this meat bun would be the only way to get the information.

The last meat bun was sold for 100 taels. The man got the useless information and fainted in the kitchen excitedly. Fortunately, Chen Feng knew some first aid measures and pinched the man to save him.

The man left cursing, leaving some people who didn't get the information and looked at Chen Feng unwillingly.

Chen Feng dismissed: "I have already told the ten people who eat meat buns about the information. Now you can go to them to inquire. Anyway, I will not reveal any more information."

Everyone reacted and ran out of the inn to chase the person.

Chen Feng, Qin Ling, and Ma Delu counted the silver taels, ten buns, plus the money for forty people to enter the door, it reached as much as 600 taels, which was enough to support the inn for a long time.

The three of them were delighted, Qin Ling looked at Chen Feng with admiration, and Ma Delu no longer underestimated him.

At this time, the door of the inn was knocked again, Chen Feng went to open the door impatiently: "I told you not to come to me, why don't you give up!"

But when he saw that the person at the door was Huo Yun, he immediately said in embarrassment: "So it's the boss, I thought..."

"You thought it was someone who paid for information, right?" Huo Yun said solemnly.

He entered the inn, closed the door, gathered the three of Chen Feng, looked at the money that had not yet been collected, and said solemnly: "Xiao Feng, you are right to want to make money, but relying on small tricks to get from high-ranking officials to dignitary Defrauding money from yourself is absolutely unacceptable!"

Chen Feng was a little dissatisfied: "Boss, are you afraid that those people will settle accounts after the autumn? I don't think big people will care about me, a small person."

"Alas..." Huo Yun sighed, and said earnestly, "The world is dangerous, and not everyone in the court cares about trifles. Some people have small minds, and even a trivial matter must be investigated to the end. Your actions make you They have lost face, maybe there will be a villain secretly to settle accounts!"

Chen Feng lowered his head. He only wanted to make money, but he really lacked consideration.

Huo Yun changed the subject and said with a smile: "Forget it this time, as long as everyone has an open mind and pay attention to it in the future. As for the silver taels you got, you can use them. Now the inn is really stretched. The money can be used just in time for emergencies."

Qin Ling said worriedly: "But boss, you just said that those villains will come to take revenge..."

"Don't worry, isn't there me here? No matter who comes, I will take care of everything!" Huo Yun reassured everyone, "Xiao Feng, come with me."

Huo Yun took Chen Feng up to the guest room on the second floor. Ma Delu was about to move and wanted to follow, but Qin Ling stopped him.

"The boss must have something important to explain, you'd better not make trouble."

Ma Delu muttered: "Hmph, I was the first to follow the boss. How come this guy A Feng has become the boss's most trusted person..."

In the guest room, Huo Yun found a chair and sat down.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Feng took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry boss, what happened today was due to my lack of consideration, and I will definitely not do it again next time."

Huo Yun waved his hand: "Just remember the lesson from this time, and avoid messing with people from the imperial court in the future!"

"Boss, what if those villains come to make trouble? Although high-ranking officials and dignitaries will not send people from the world, but they can gather a lot of people, do we want to deal with them?"

Huo Yun smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have done things for the court anyway, and they will still give me some face."

Chen Feng was shocked: "You are a Shaolin disciple and you have also done things for the imperial court?"

"I used to be the bodyguard of Ouchi, and I was the emperor's most trusted bodyguard! This time I want to talk to you alone because I want to tell you about me..."
