The soldier glanced at Zhao Chen in front of him, and then his eyes fell on the money bag in his hand.
He weighed it with his hands and felt that there was a lot of money inside, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You should also pay attention to what's going on outside when you sleep, otherwise there will be some misunderstanding and everyone will have a hard time." The soldier said with a smile.
"Be careful next time." Zhao Chen nodded and answered with a smile.
"Well, from the looks of you, I know that he is not the murderer who killed Mr. Lu Changshi."
"Be smart and let's go from now on." The leading soldier left a message and took the others away.
The soldiers of Zhechong Mansion and the Dudu Mansion have never been the same.
Their former captain, Ma Zhiqing, was hunted down by people from the captain's mansion and his whereabouts are unknown now.
The current captain of Zhe Chong Mansion made Lu Yi curse so hard that he couldn't hold his head up.
Zhe Chong Mansion has never been a subordinate of the Governor's Mansion, and his own Captain was humiliated like that.
Lu Yifa also forced them to squat in the smoke, completely ignoring their lives.
Whether Luneng dies or not, whether the murderer can be found or not, they, the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion, don't care.
"Young Master, you have to be more careful from now on. Look, the little girl was so scared that she cried." The innkeeper said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
Then he pointed at Princess Qinghe beside him.
"Haha, my sister has been timid since she was a child. When she was in her hometown, she was scared by the government servants and made the shopkeeper laugh." Zhao Chen walked over with a smile.
He patted Princess Qinghe and signaled her to go back to the room upstairs.
Li Ruoshuang hugged Ping An and left together.
"It's understandable. As a little girl, I'm naturally a little timid."
"But it's been a mess outside these two days, so please don't go out, sir."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it clearly next time." The innkeeper said with a smile to Zhao Chen.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for the reminder." Zhao Chen nodded, and then walked up the stairs.
The innkeeper has already doubted himself, which is not a good thing for Zhao Chen.
If the innkeeper is Lu Yifa's person, then he will definitely inform Lu Yifa.
He also knew the appearance of the four of them. If they were searched throughout the city, there would definitely be no place to escape.
At that moment, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Zhao Chen, what's wrong?"
"Weren't all those who searched the place gone? We came back just in time." Li Ruoshuang hugged Ping An and asked when Zhao Chen didn't speak.
Princess Qinghe also recovered from the fear just now.
"Brother, if you come back a little later, I will be scared to death." Princess Qinghe said, with a look of fear in her eyes.
"It's okay, you go and have a good rest first." Zhao Chen said to Princess Qinghe Urn.
"Qinghe, please go and rest first. We will call you if something happens." Li Ruoshuang also advised.
Princess Qinghe nodded. Although she didn't have much time just now, her whole body was in a tense state.
Now I suddenly relaxed and felt a little tired.
Princess Qinghe went back to her room to rest. Zhao Chen looked at Li Ruoshuang and said, "The innkeeper is from the Qizhou Governor's Mansion."
"What I'm worried about now is whether he is from Ma Zhiyuan or Lu Yifa."
"If he is Ma Zhiyuan's man, we will not be in danger for the time being."
"If he is Lu Yifa's man, then..."
Zhao Chen only said this, but Li Ruoshuang's meaning was very clear.
Once the innkeeper is one of Lu Yifa's people, he will definitely inform Lu Yifa of his suspicions.
Then the four of them would never think of escaping again.
The goals of the four of them were too big, especially with Ping An, a child, and the incompetent Princess Qinghe.
"Then shall we give the innkeeper's money to..." Li Ruoshuang made a gesture with Zhao Chen.
Pretending to kill the innkeeper.
In Li Ruoshuang's mind, killing the person who doubted their identity was the best way to solve the matter.
"It's inappropriate. If we kill him rashly, it will arouse Lu Yifa's vigilance."
"You take a rest first, and I'll go find out who the innkeeper is."
"If he really belongs to Lu Yifa, I will take care of him." Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said.
"Are you going out again?" Li Ruoshuang was a little worried.
They just finally came back under the cover of night, could Zhao Chen want to go out again?
"It's just downstairs." Zhao Chen said, got up and went out.
…
Downstairs, the innkeeper was thinking about what he had just done.
He was thinking about whether what Zhao Chen just said was true.
If the two of them had just returned from outside, wouldn't it mean that the two murderers were the two in front of him?
"Waiter, come here." The innkeeper and the waiter shouted.
The waiter was drowsy when he heard the innkeeper's shout and ran over listlessly.
"Shopkeeper, please call me." The waiter said to the shopkeeper.
"Is there anything moving in the courtyard of our inn just now?"
"In other words, did you see anyone running in from there?" the shopkeeper asked the waiter in a low voice.
"No, it was very quiet all the time. I didn't see anyone." The waiter shook his head.
"Really?" The innkeeper didn't believe it.
"No, did the shopkeeper find anything?" The waiter looked at the innkeeper doubtfully.
"Forget it, go and do your work." The shopkeeper waved his hand and signaled the waiter to leave.
Turning around, he saw Zhao Chen standing at the top of the stairs, looking at him with a smile.
The innkeeper's heart skipped a beat, then he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Young master, why are you standing there? I need help with something."
"I'm bored at night and want to chat with the shopkeeper." Zhao Chen walked down the stairs with a smile.
Although the shopkeeper was reluctant, he did not dare to refuse Zhao Chen.
He was worried that Zhao Chen was really one of the two murderers, and if he rejected him, he would be killed by Zhao Chen.
I had no choice but to smile and say, "It's my honor. Sir, please sit here."
Zhao Chen came over and sat down at the table. The innkeeper sat opposite Zhao Chen.
"Waiter, bring me a jug of wine and two plates of cooked food." The innkeeper and the waiter shouted.
"Sir, please use it." The waiter brought wine and cooked food, and the innkeeper poured Zhao Chen a glass of wine.
He invited Zhao Chen to drink again.
Zhao Chen was not polite, picked up the wine glass and drank a glass, then put down the wine glass and asked with a smile:
"The shopkeeper has opened this inn in Qixian County for quite a long time."
"For ten years, ten years ago, I was the waiter of this inn." The innkeeper smiled, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Ten years, many years, what do you think of Governor Shi Lu Yifa, the innkeeper?" Zhao Chen smiled, and suddenly asked another question that made the innkeeper not sure how to answer.
What do you think of Qi Governor Shi Luyifa?
This was clearly testing him to see if he was on Lu Yifa's side.
Is it possible that the man in front of me is really the murderer of Lu Yifa's son Luneng?
