Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 50 Lin Pingzhi scolded the woman for the high price of Xunsu House

It was getting late now, after the two had a little understanding of the local situation, they went to the inn to stay overnight.

Today's inns in Funing City are basically overcrowded.

Although Funing City is not very big, it is the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, and it is also an important passage for entering and leaving the two provinces.Many merchants transit here.

Without exception, all these merchants were "closed" in the inn by the people in the yamen.

Although "off" is a bit out of place, it's about the same.

But even if they are not "closed", they dare not take to the streets.Compared with ordinary people, these people who come out to run business are more regretful than anyone else.

They all put up all their wealth to earn a living, and if they stumbled outside, their wives and children would become someone else's.

Therefore, we can only be cautious.

Lin Pingzhi and Fu Ying visited several inns in a row and there were no vacancies, not to mention vacancies, even connecting shops.

Besides, Lin Pingzhi would not let Fu Ying, a big girl, go to the shop with a group of big men.

Finally, they came to the last inn.

Lin Pingzhi said at this time: "If there is no such thing, then you can only sleep on the street."

Fu Ying looked at Lin Pingzhi, then said with a smile: "If you sleep on the street, you can sleep on the street. Didn't we sleep in the open all the time?"

Lin Pingzhi walked into the inn, and he asked directly, "Are there any rooms available?"

And the guy in the store was sitting behind the counter, eating melon seeds indifferently.

He stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask my second brother, is there any room available now?"

The waiter glanced at the two of them and said, "Yes! Five taels of silver for one night."

Lin Pingzhi was about to pay when he said that there were still guest rooms.But when he said "five taels of silver" for one night, the hand that was about to take out the money stopped.

Although Lin Pingzhi is a young master, he spends money lavishly.

But it doesn't mean that he is a fool who "does not eat the fireworks of the world".

He is still very clear about the prices outside. For a private school gentleman who was born as a scholar, the school fees for a year are only seven or eight taels of silver.

It's only ten taels of silver to buy a young servant girl.

He spent five taels of silver for one night in the hotel, which was no different from robbery in Lin Pingzhi's eyes.

Lin Pingzhi's character has always been that he can give up money by himself.

For example, for Xiao Hong and Meng Sheng, he is willing to give no matter how much money he gives, after all, he was taken care of by others before.As for Mr. Qi, that's something to ask for.For Fu Ying, it is worth the money.

But being blackmailed and being taken advantage of is absolutely unacceptable.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi stop her hand, Fu Ying thought to herself: "I guess he gave me all the money, and now I'm ashamed."

Thinking of this, Fu Ying stretched out her hand, ready to take out silver taels from her pocket to pay the rent.

Lin Pingzhi stopped her at this time.

Lin Pingzhi asked, "Is your house built with gold or silver?"

Hearing Lin Pingzhi came back, the clerk said: "Look at the guest rooms now. Right now, our inn has vacant rooms. You think it's expensive, but I think it's too expensive."

Lin Pingzhi continued to ask, "I asked you whether this house was built with gold or silver."

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, the shop waiter looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "You are deliberately finding fault, aren't you! You can't live!"

Lin Pingzhi continued: "The price of your house is fair, I will definitely live in it."

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, the waiter pointed to the signboard behind him and said, "Do you know whose property we are?"

Lin Pingzhi slapped his saber on his counter, and said, "Do you know what this is in my hand?"

Seeing Lin Pingzhi taking pictures of the saber, the shop waiter's arrogant attitude suddenly softened.If he stood up and saw the saber in Lin Pingzhi's hand just now, he would not have such an attitude.

He just saw that this young couple was well dressed, and he thought they were passing by wealthy couples, so naturally they wanted as much as they could.Now that the plague is rampant, how could they who opened the shop not take the opportunity to knock a fortune from these merchants.

But their big shopkeeper has been admonishing and instructing them not to offend the Jianghu people.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi take out the saber right now, the waiter in the shop suddenly felt a bit out of his wits.

Lin Pingzhi said angrily, "Don't blame the sword in my hand for being rude if you dare to raise a price indiscriminately and ruin the country's wealth."

At this time, a gentle voice came: "Whoever speaks so loudly and dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, really has no kingly law."

Lin Pingzhi raised his eyes and saw a woman with heavy make-up and a very flirtatious demeanor, walking down the stairs slowly.

Although Madam's behavior is a bit frivolous, but this appearance is really good, although it is not as good as Fu Ying who is beside her, nor is it not as good as Qu Feiyan who I have seen before.

But apart from some milfs, they can be regarded as beauties who still have charm.

Lin Pingzhi glanced at the woman, and then said: "Even in Luoyang and Hangzhou, the most expensive restaurant is only a tael of silver a night. Even if the supply is in short supply due to the epidemic, the price has risen a little, and it is only a tael of silver a night." It's reasonable, but five taels of silver for one night in your store is really a bit 'deceitful'."

At this time, the woman said bitterly: "If you can afford it, live there, if you can't afford it, get out of here. Where did the poor come from? Let us play wild in Funing. These few taels of silver were not enough to have a glass of water and wine with my old lady. So what about national disasters and wealth, my master is the inspector of the county. Be careful if you dare to behave wildly, and I will let him arrest you, a couple of bastards, and put them in jail."

At this moment, Xiao Er waved his hand to signal the woman not to speak any more.

Xiaoer said at this time: "The shopkeeper, this guest officer is from the Jianghu."

The woman looked Lin Pingzhi up and down, then looked at Fu Ying beside her, and then said: "What about the people from the Jianghu? I have seen many people from the Jianghu on the Qinhuai River back then, which one is not sanctimonious? It doesn’t matter if the martial arts are strong, but they are all “little people” who have no fame and are not in the court. Some of them have a lot of fame, and the rewards for the servants are all tight.”

Hearing the woman's words, Lin Pingzhi asked with a smile at this moment: "I just listened to Madam's words, did Madam have made a living on the Qinhuai River before?"

The woman said shamelessly and proudly at this time: "That's natural. I think that the Nu family was also a style on the Qinhuai River back then. If a brat like you wanted to see the Nu family, he would pay the maids of the Nu family no less than five taels of respect." silver."

Lin Pingzhi snorted coldly at this moment, he picked up his sword and said to Fu Ying: "Let's go!"

Fu Ying said at this time: "We have traveled all over the city, and there are still vacant houses here right now. I don't care about sleeping on the street. But why do we have to live on the street when we have a room? It's just a little more expensive."

Speaking of which, Fu Ying smiled and took out the bank note from her bosom, and just about to hand it over, Lin Pingzhi snatched it away, then held Fu Ying's hand and said, "Go! This place is not clean!"

Hearing the word "unclean" really angered the woman.

At this moment, she shook the silk fan in her hand, and then said: "Stinky boy, stop! What are you talking about? Why is my mother's place dirty?"

If it was a hypocrite like Yue Buqun, or a hero like Linghu Chong, they wouldn't bother arguing with this woman.

But Lin Pingzhi's temperament is "distinguish between grievances and grievances" and "revenge every revenge". Since the other party scolds, he is naturally not polite.

If it was just that the woman's words were rude, he would not bother to argue, after all, it would be a waste of his time to argue with people who don't understand the reason.

They will bring your IQ level to the same level as theirs, and then use their rich experience and various fallacies to "defeat you", so you don't need to waste your time when facing such a situation.

But what made Lin Pingzhi angry was that these merchants took the opportunity to make "national wealth" and lived in a shop for five taels of silver a night, which was simply too much.

If the rent had doubled or tripled, Lin Pingzhi wouldn't even ask, he's not a stingy person.

Even if the increase is ten times, two taels of silver for one night, he will just scold these black-hearted "profiteers" in his heart.But five taels of silver for one night is really too much.

Lin Pingzhi turned his head, squinted his eyes and said to the woman: "If you stay here, you won't know if you will suffer from plague, but dirty diseases may come to you!"

Hearing this sentence, the woman immediately frowned, she quickly stopped in front of Lin Pingzhi, and then said: "What nonsense are you talking about, explain it clearly to me."
