Chapter 27 Sleeping
Hearing this, Luo Tianbao felt mixed emotions. He was happy that he had not heard the bad news about his master and others, but he was worried that he did not know what the current situation of everyone was. This made him even more eager to rush to the capital.
Because they were in a hurry that day, the group missed Sutou. Seeing that night was approaching, everyone was basically ready to sleep in the countryside. As a result, at this time, everyone discovered a village with about a hundred or so households.
I can find someone to stay here for one night, and at most I can give them some extra money afterwards.
When everyone arrived in the village, they quickly found a wealthy family. It seemed that he was the richest man here. It shouldn't be a problem to stay for one night. Ji Baida immediately went up and knocked on the door, but after a long time, there was no response. Everyone
Suspecting that no one was in the house, Ji Baida was reluctant and knocked again. This time the door finally opened not long after, and a head poked out from inside, looking at everyone warily.
"Who are you?"
Ding Xie knew that Ji Baida looked ferocious and was afraid of scaring him. He hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "My friend, don't be afraid. We are not evil people, but just passing merchants. Because we missed Sutou for a while, we wanted to stay at home."
Stay here for one night, don't worry, we won't stay in vain, we will pay you more afterwards, and we hope it will be convenient for you."
Ding Xie asked himself that there was nothing wrong with what he said. Unexpectedly, when the other party heard this, he became furious: "No, no, what are you causing trouble? We are not an inn. You go somewhere else quickly!"
Luo Tianbao and others were stunned when they heard this. It was not surprising that the other party refused to stay overnight, but Ding Xie was not rude at all. Do you have such a big reaction? In addition to Luo Tianbao, this group of people, Ai Sisi's master and servant
Other than that, they are all influential figures in the world. It would be unreasonable to talk to them like this in ordinary times. But I had no choice but to ask someone for help tonight. At that time, Pan Hong stepped forward and said: "Friend, we have something to say, you
Why should you be angry? I hope you will be accommodating and make it convenient for me. We will definitely thank you very much afterwards."
"No, no, why aren't you guys done yet? I told you we won't let outsiders stay here, so hurry up or I'll ask someone to coax you!"
When Ji Baida heard what the other party said became more and more outrageous, he immediately couldn't bear it any longer. Even though he usually seemed quite easy-going in front of Luo Tianbao and his son, he actually had a fiery temper towards others, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the man.
People's collars: 'Boy, why are you so arrogant? This is why the gentlemen are so polite to you. Are they still afraid of you?'
Luo Tianbao and everyone were frightened when they saw it. Ji Baida was a swordsman. Killing him was as easy as crushing an ant. Everyone was afraid of their lives and hurried forward to persuade them. Such a commotion stirred up alarm in the house again.
Several people, the leader of whom was in his forties, looked like he was in charge by his appearance. As soon as they arrived, they shouted loudly: "What's going on? What are you doing here!?"
When the man caught by Ji Baida saw this, he hurriedly said: "Butler, you are finally here. These people came from nowhere. They said they wanted to stay overnight. Do you think we can let outsiders stay for such a big thing?
So I wanted to drive them away, but I didn’t expect this group of people to be so unreasonable.”
When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. He looked around at Luo Tianbao and others, and saw that most of these people were carrying weapons. It seemed that they were practicing martial arts. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he seemed to have thought of something. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Guys, I am the housekeeper of this house, my surname is Zhao. This is one of our servants here. We usually have poor discipline and don't know how to treat guests. I am here to apologize for him. Isn't that right?
Do you want to stay overnight? Please come inside. We have plenty of empty houses here. How about we just forget about what happened just now?"
When everyone heard that Butler Zhao spoke very politely, everyone thought that what Ji Baida did was a bit reckless. In fact, his side was not very reasonable. It was naturally the best to end this way. At that moment, Ji Baida had no choice but to let go of that move.
People and a group of people led the horses into the house.
When we got inside, we saw that this place was really big. Zhao Guan's family first ordered their servants to take everyone's horses to the stable, and then led everyone to the main hall. They saw that the doors and windows were closed. At first glance, it seemed that no one was there. Zhao
The housekeeper knocked lightly on the door a few times, only to hear an angry voice inside saying: 'Who is it?'
"It's me, Zhao Fu. Several guests have come and want to stay overnight. I hope I can come out and see you."
After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out. He was dressed luxuriously and had a bloated figure. At first glance, he looked like a pampered man. However, this man seemed to be afraid of something, and his behavior seemed a bit sneaky. He looked around.
Everyone then pulled Zhao Fu aside.
"Zhao Fu, what are you doing? You're already in such a hurry, how can you still let a stranger stay overnight?"
"Master, don't worry, that's actually what happened..." Zhao Fu said, lying down in the middle-aged man's ear and whispering softly. Everyone couldn't hear what they were saying, and they could only see the middle-aged man's face.
His expression gradually softened.
"Will this work?" After Zhao Fu finished muttering, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
"At this point, we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor." Zhao Fu replied.
The middle-aged man nodded after hearing this, and immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands to everyone, forcing a smile on his face and saying: "Several of you, my surname is Zhao, and I am the owner of this house. I heard that our servant here just now offended you, and I am really sorry.
, don’t you guys just want to stay overnight? There are a lot of empty rooms in my house. You just have to do what you want. After all, everyone has inconveniences when they go out. You guys must not have had dinner yet? Zhao Fu, please take some of them there quickly.
Eat in the side hall and entertain me well."
"As ordered, you guys are coming with me." Zhao Fu greeted him hurriedly. Everyone noticed that this family was a little weird, but they couldn't ask more questions for a while. Even though they had said hello to Mr. Zhao, the housekeeper Zhao Fu arrived.
In the side hall, food was served one after another not long after. Although it was rough food from the countryside, it was rare to find fish or meat. Everyone was used to sleeping in the open, so they were already quite content with this, and they could eat and drink.
When he got up, Zhao Fu was waiting attentively on the side.
When everyone had almost eaten, Ji Baida was a good person, so he asked Zhao Fu: "Butler Zhao, did something happen to your house today?"
"No." Zhao Fu replied, but his expression was obviously unnatural.
"No, what Mr. Zhao or you guys said just now brought it out. Something must have happened to your house tonight. What happened? Tell us."
"It's better not to know about these people. If you finish eating, I will take you to the guest room to rest. In short, no matter what happens tonight, please don't come out. I hope that the other party has some humanity and will not harm innocent people like you."
.”
When Zhao Fu said this, everyone immediately became more curious. Even Luo Tianbao couldn't help but said: "What's going on with Butler Zhao? Please tell us clearly. Otherwise, how can we sleep well this night?"
