Does the prince take medicine?

Chapter No.16: Daughter-in-law Recovery Plan - Shilu

Ye Lian looked at the shopkeeper who was stroking his mustache and smiling treacherously, and couldn't help taking a step back, thinking something was wrong.

"Guest officer, do you have any needs when you come to the small shop?" The little er at the side also bent down and said flatteringly, his eyes flickered in the light, looking at Ye Lian with malicious intent.

Ye Lian couldn't help but take a step back again, slightly avoiding behind Gu Heng.

In fact, when Ye Lian first saw this inn, Ye Lian refused.

This inn is located at the intersection of the alley just entered, if you don't look carefully, you can't see this small inn.And the outside of the inn can be considered lively, logically speaking, it wouldn't be so deserted that no guests were seen.

At that time, Ye Lian was so tired that he desperately wanted to find a place to rest, so he discovered the small inn hidden in the dark with sharp eyes.

Even if you can't have a room to sleep, it's okay to sit down and have a meal.

When Gu Heng saw it, his brows furrowed immediately, and he stretched out his hand to stop Ye Lian who was about to run over, and reminded: "There is something wrong with this inn."

Ye Lian took a closer look and immediately became sober.The inn was very empty, except for the shopkeeper who was making a deal in front of the counter and the idle waiter, the other guest officials didn't see it at all!

After a little struggle before rest and safety, Ye Lian hid behind Gu Heng with her calves: "Then do you want to go?"

Gu Heng said with a cold face, "What if this is what the person behind the scenes wants?"

"What?" Ye Lian didn't react for a moment, but soon a flash of light flashed in his mind, and Ye Lian caught it immediately, "You said that the person who refused to let us stay in the hotel was trying to lure us here ?”

"No accident, yes." Gu Heng said.

Ye Lian frowned and thought for a while, then suggested: "It's better to go for a walk and try another inn. Didn't you say that you can't go to ordinary people's house to ask for accommodation, and put yourself in danger just to see the person behind the scenes? Feeling a little bad."

Gu Heng nodded, and then shook his head: "But how do you know that the person who is willing to take us in has other plans? In my opinion, if we continue walking later, the inns we meet along the way will not take us in—even if we are willing, It is very likely that it is also inseparable from the person behind the scenes."

"Then what should we do?" Ye Lian was discouraged, the more he looked at the dark inn, the more frightened he felt.

Especially the shopkeeper inside who was making plans suddenly raised his head and smiled at him, which made Ye Lian feel bad.

Gu Heng pondered, and said: "Then go in, that person has already locked us. Even if we escape, we can't hide forever."

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won the tiger.

Ye Lian clutched Gu Heng's sleeve tightly, cheering herself up, and followed Gu Heng in.

Now that Ye Lian has entered with Gu Heng, no matter how uneasy Ye Lian felt, she didn't dare to talk nonsense.Try to avoid the restless and kind eyes of the shopkeeper, and quietly act as a background board.

"What does the guest officer need?" Xiao Er asked again with a friendly smile.

"Some food and two rooms for one night." Gu Heng replied blankly, "How much money do you have in total?"

Xiao Er retreated to the side, and the shopkeeper came forward, and stretched out his fingers to make an "eight" with a smile.

"Eight coins?" Ye Lian couldn't help but poked her head out from behind Gu Heng, and asked curiously.

The shopkeeper's face darkened slightly, and he shook his head.

"Eight taels?" Ye Lian dissatisfied, "It's only for one night, so expensive?"

Ye Lian thought that the shopkeeper would explain it, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper immediately darkened his face, sneered, and continued to compare the word "eight": "Eight taels of silver? Of course it's impossible, 80 taels of silver is right!"

After hearing this, Ye Lian immediately jumped out from behind Gu Heng, pointed at the shopkeeper and said angrily, "How is that possible! Why don't you go grab the money when it's so expensive?!"

Gu Heng also turned cold, and turned around to leave.But as soon as they reached the door, several big men held iron bars and blocked them in front of the inn to prevent them from going out.

The innkeeper came slowly, looked at them with a sneer and said, "This inn is a place where you can come and go whenever you want. You guys think it's too simple."

"Hmph, do you still have the law of the king?" Ye Lian roared with a thick neck, very angry.

"Wang Fa?" The shopkeeper quickly answered, as if he was familiar with it a thousand times, he smiled arrogantly, "The county magistrate here is my cousin, what am I afraid of?"

"Haha, Wang Fa, I am Wang Fa here!"

After hearing this, the other people laughed along with the shopkeeper. The appearance of that laugh was quite ferocious, which made Gu Heng frown in displeasure.

Only then did Ye Lian understand that this inn is a black shop protected by the county magistrate, and other inns who want to stay in this feng shui treasure must cooperate with this black shop every day to deceive some passing passengers, so that they will enter here by mistake. Don't follow this black-hearted shopkeeper.

After thinking about it, Ye Lian gave Gu Heng a displeased look at Gu Heng who came up with such a bad idea, and then said to the shopkeeper, "What if we don't have so much money?"

"No money?" The shopkeeper smiled lewdly.Ye Lian was a little uncomfortable with his sizing up and down realistically, "If you don't have money, I will send you to the Nanfeng Hall to be rabbits. Tsk tsk, this figure can definitely sell for a good price."

"Dirty!" Ye Lian raised the bench and threw it over, watching the shopkeeper, who was still complacent before, dodge the attack of the bench in embarrassment.This blow completely angered the shopkeeper, only to hear that the shopkeeper shouted angrily, "Catch them for me!" The big men started in unison.

Gu Heng snorted coldly, what he was waiting for was the moment when the shopkeeper was irritated by Ye Lian!He jumped up from the ground in an instant, and immediately kicked the two big guys back a few steps. With his other hand, he gathered his inner strength and slapped the remaining big guy against the wall with one palm.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper winked at the waiter at the side.Xiao Er received it, nodded, and was about to slip away along the wall.Standing aside, Ye Lian found out in time, dodged the fight with a short body, trotted towards Xiao Er, saw that Xiao Er was running faster, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't run!"

Xiao Er was startled, ran up straight away, and quickly slipped out of the inn, leaving Ye Lian angrily staring at his back, holding on to the door frame for breath.

At this time, Gu Heng also successfully dealt with the three big men.Seeing this, the shopkeeper stood still and did not run away, and smiled coldly at Gu Heng who was approaching step by step: "My cousin will come over soon, I advise you not to hurt me, otherwise the criminal law will be executed later..."

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper stared straight at the door and was stunned.

"Shopkeeper, is this the mistress of your inn?" A man in white clothes filled with snow dragged the comatose mistress with a gentle smile, "He passed out in front of my house."

Ye Lian leaned on the door frame and squinted at the man in white. He didn't feel the slightest bit of luck in his heart, but the alarm bell rang loudly.

On the other side, Gu Heng patted away the sawdust in his hands, and when he saw the person coming, he gave a cold snort in his heart.

This man is not easy.

.........

"This inn is opened by the cousin of the local county magistrate. Everyone who stays here temporarily, no matter whether they are martial arts or rich and powerful, will be buried here." The man in white led the way, smiling Explained, "The inn has been temporarily closed several times, but in the end, it is still open."

"People who have no money will be sold to the kiln by him. If they can't win, he will run away and recruit soldiers. Because the shopkeeper didn't dare to let in people who are particularly rich, powerful or martial arts, it is relatively safe to stay in the inn."

Gu Heng said: "Then why is he so afraid of you?"

"This..." The man in white seemed to have thought of something, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled shyly, "I also have a cousin, but he is more afraid of being an official in Beijing."

Gu Heng frowned, somewhat disbelieving the answer: "Then how did he know your identity?"

Ye Lian, who was hiding behind Gu Heng, stared at the man in white, and nodded vigorously in agreement with Gu Heng.

To be honest, he had no choice but to go with this man in white who came over out of nowhere.

Before half a stick of incense, the man in white came unexpectedly, brought help to Ye Lian and the others, told them that he was a local teacher, and "kindly" suggested that they live in his small house.

Ye Lian would not believe that there is no such thing in the world that can be obtained without paying a price, so he was very vigilant, and pulled Gu Heng to leave.

Seeing this, the man in white said helplessly: "This can be discussed on the road. It's getting late now, and you will inevitably not be retaliated by the shopkeeper. It would be great if you stay in the small house temporarily."

Before Ye Lian continued to refuse, Gu Heng said: "Okay." Then he held Ye Lian's hand tightly, and Ye Lian couldn't help leaving alone angrily.

"You should talk." Gu Heng said.

After listening to Gu Heng's question like a prisoner, the man in white showed a wry smile: "I teach countless children here, and my cousin asks someone to bring a cart of valuables from time to time. After a long time, it will naturally spread all over the world." to Yangzhou City."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, but Ye Lian was still suspicious and couldn't say anything.

It's just that the man in white in front of him looks more and more like the man who locked him up three years ago. He is humble and gentle in front of him, but he looks terrifying behind him.

How easy can it be for someone who can directly knock Xiao Er dizzy?Ye Lian didn't believe what the man said about Xiao Er fainting for no reason.

Never believe it.

The small house of the man in white is not too far away. If you go deep into the alley, you will soon be able to walk to another street.This street is not as bustling as the outside, but simple and unadorned, full of life atmosphere everywhere, there are shouts of grocery shopping, the sound of children playing, and of course the sound of reading aloud in the small courtyard.

Seeing the arrival of the man in white, everyone greeted him with friendly smiles, and some enthusiastically gave him some vegetables and chattered away. .

The door opened, and there were really rows of young children studying. In the larger room, there were some scholars who were around the same age as the man in white or much older, arguing together.

Ye Lian was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that this man was really a teacher, and he seemed to have a good personality. Could it be that he... made a mistake?

On the contrary, Gu Heng still didn't seem to relax.

"By the way," the man in white put down the dishes in his hand at the stone table, and said with a gentle smile, "My name is Bai Qing, you can call me Ah Qing."

>>>Small Theater

Ye Lian (joyful): Shen Qing really has no part in the show, and he is still absent in today's chapter!

Shen Qing (smiling lightly): Did it really not appear?

The author has something to say:

As a note, Gu Heng actually did nothing wrong, he is a person who has completed many tasks, so he is naturally experienced.

Assuming that if they didn't fall into this trap intentionally, the enemy would probably change the trap accordingly. In order to ensure that they will not find out and escape again, this trap must be more difficult and dangerous than the current one.In this case, it is better to pretend to fall into the trap that is now easily seen.

This is Yangzhou, not Suzhou, that is to say, this is not their territory, and Ye Lian and the others can't leave here early, they are already being targeted, and they can't escape, so it's better to use the trick.

However, Gu Heng forgot, how could Shen Qing ever fail to achieve what Shen Qing wanted to achieve?The enemy is fully prepared.

That's it √
