"And my arrangements in other places are about to take effect. Beichen has backup, so why don't I? Sooner or later they will leave."

"As soon as they leave, we will go back immediately. In this case, I believe... even Beichen would never guess that we would hide in the inn that they have searched many times."

"This is called...the blind spot of vision!"

Just as Shen Lian and Tianji were yawning in the corner outside the inn, a new round of searches had already begun inside the inn.

The guards boarded the inn one by one, then went to each room and knocked hard on the door.

People kept being woken up from their deep sleep.

Some of these people were full of complaints, and some were still ignorant. But when they opened the door and saw the fierce guards standing outside, they immediately shrank their necks and were too frightened to speak any more.

"come out!"

The guards outside the door drank directly at them.

These people walked out of the room with confusion and confusion.

As soon as they went out, the guards rushed in and searched their room!

Whether it was the cabinets, the underside of the couch, or even the floor, they were all raised to see if there was anything hidden.

“And the baggage they brought with them was searched inch by inch.

The carefulness of their search simply refreshed these people's understanding of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

Just like that, rooms were searched one after another.

Soon, it was Shen Lian's turn.

Bang bang!

There was a loud knock on the door.

But after a while, no sound came from the room.

The guard who knocked on the door suddenly frowned.

He waved directly, called two people over, and then pointed to the closed door in front of him.

"There seems to be no one."

he said softly.

When the two people heard this, their expressions changed.

They immediately tightened their grip on their weapons: "Bash the door!"

The man nodded, and I grabbed the hilt of the knife and rushed forward.

Crunch——

But at this moment, a creaking sound was heard, and under the nervous gaze of the three guards, the closed door was opened.

A sleepy man walked out, rubbing his eyes.

"Guan Ye? What happened again?"

These three people, you look at me, I look at you.

Finally, the two people who were called all looked at the person who knocked on the door in the first place.

The man coughed, a little embarrassed, then looked at the man opposite angrily and asked: "I just knocked on the door, why was there no movement?"

The man said: "Hey, I'm sleeping soundly."

"As traveling merchants, we travel around every day and often sleep on the streets. However, we also need enough rest, otherwise we will have difficulty traveling the next day, so we have developed the habit of sleeping on our heads and sleeping like dead pigs.

I’m used to it, I really didn’t hear it just now.”

He looked at the officer and said with a smile: "Master, we meet again. Didn't we just finish the inspection last night? Why are you here again today?"

The guard looked at this man, and he looked at him carefully.

He really had an impression of this person.

A very talkative and eloquent businessman.

And this person looks okay, so he still has memory.

At this time, the appearance of the person in front of him was exactly the same as the appearance in his memory, there was no difference.

So he didn't care much.

He looked at the man opposite Shen Lian who looked exactly the same as Shen Lian and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Knowing too much is not good for you."

"Get out of the way, I want to search your room."

The man who looked the same as Shen Lian smiled and said: "It's easy to talk, I understand that the City Lord's Mansion is doing things, and I will never stand in the way."

"In our line of work, I don't know anything else, but being harmonious and making money is definitely the most important thing."

As he spoke, he got out of the way.

The guard entered his room directly.

The guard looked around the room and said, "It's quite clean."

"That's right, sir, don't look at me traveling around a lot, but I'm clean, that's what I've always been -"

"Shut up!"

The guard couldn't stand it anymore: "If I don't ask you anything, just shut up. How can you be so rude and talkative?"

This Shen Lian chuckled and said a little sheepishly: "I am used to discussing business with people, and I will talk too much if I am not careful. Don't be offended, sir."

The guard snorted: "Stop talking."

As he spoke, the guard conducted a very detailed search.

The cabinets, floors, and walls were all checked.

Then the guard walked to the window, opened it, looked outside, and found that it was right on the roadside.

The guard said: "Jump down from here and you can leave secretly."

This Shen Lian laughed again and said: "You are talking about passing away secretly, right? It is so high. If I jump down, I will probably pass away secretly. My family will definitely not know."

The guards were all amused by him: "Shut up, I'll just tell you."

After being interrupted by this "Shen Lian", the thoughts that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion had just dispersed disappeared silently.

He glanced outside again, then withdrew his gaze and continued to search other places.

Seeing this, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

In just an instant, there was sweat on his forehead.

When the guard wasn't paying attention, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead to avoid being suspected by the guard.

The guards searched carefully and even knocked on every floor.

Seeing this, Shen Lian said with a smile: "You don't think I can dig a tunnel, do you? This is the territory of the inn, and I still live on the second floor, and I can only stay for two days. During these two days,

Why can’t I dig a tunnel?”

"Of course, if I really dig it, I think there is a high probability that I will fall directly to the first floor."

The guard was really helpless.

He said: "Can you shut up and stop being so poor? Why do you talk so much?"

This Shen Lian scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I have an occupational disease. I often sell products to others and I can't stop talking."

The guard didn't think much about it, but he felt that this was the right thing to do.

If Shen Lian didn't say anything, he would doubt the authenticity of this person's identity as a businessman.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The guard knocked on the floor and said: "I don't suspect that you forgot the tunnel, but I wonder if there is a mezzanine below and whether you are hiding something."

Shen Lian looked surprised: "What did I hide? Why didn't I know?"

Guard: "...I didn't say you were really hiding. This wasn't a search."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not targeting you. This is what the higher-ups require. Every room must be searched like this, dig deep and dig deep!"

Shen Lian's eyes flashed and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He said: "Then you can check it as you like. I am upright and not afraid of my shadow being distorted!"

Seeing Shen Lian not panicking at all, the guard was convinced.

He knocked briefly to make sure there was no mezzanine or anything like that, and then began to search Shen Lian's baggage.

And the result was naturally no surprise.

Shen Lian had long thought that someone would come to search his room, so he had hidden those important books and paintings elsewhere.

This guard is destined to find nothing.

After checking how long it took to burn a stick of incense, the guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, there's no problem."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "But even so, you haven't completely ruled out suspicion, so if you don't want anything to happen, just stay in the room and don't go anywhere."
