The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 55 An Uneasy Night
The boy bowed his waist and replied flatteringly:
"Young master, you don't know. We are a private inn here, and we are doing small business. It's not like the official inn, where the government agencies take the money and don't care about the money.

If the young master feels that the price is too high, he will not feed the horses with fodder. After leaving this post house, go ten miles further. There is a forage seller there for only five cents of silver. "

Qin Qingyue showed displeasure, "I hear what you mean. It's okay not to feed me food, but do I have to live in your post house?"

The boy nodded, "Of course, there is only one inn here. If you want to stay, you can only stay here. If you don't want to stay, there is a huge world outside. You can live wherever you want, and I won't stop you."

"Otherwise, just live here."

Zheng Pin was pushed by Qin Qingyue just now and hit the counter. He almost lost his breath. It took him a long time to recover, and then he came over to help smooth things over.

Although he slept in the carriage during this journey, he would not sleep in the open air, but the carriage was cramped and his legs and feet could not be stretched out. He slept curled up every day, which was not good for the recovery of his wounds.

It's rare to find an inn, so just stay there, it's just a matter of money.

"Since you are accompanying me on the road, it is okay for me to pay for all the money, right?"

Qin Ruizhi had been leaning on the counter, holding the knife in her hand and hugging it to her chest, looking at it at leisure without making any comment.

There is no dispute with words, but it is just for money, just pay more.

Qin Qingyue looked at Qin Ruizhi and saw that his sister had no objection, so he no longer objected, "This is what you said, I didn't force you. Here's the money, I'll order some good food and wine first, and eat something cold along the way." The steamed buns and hard flatbreads made my cheeks hurt from chewing them."

Zheng Pin looked embarrassed. He was short of money at the moment, but he couldn't say it openly in front of everyone. He was not only afraid of losing face in front of the Pei family guards, but also afraid of being in danger if the news of his return to Beijing was leaked.

He held Qin Qingyue in his arms, walked aside, and whispered: "I have no money, please help me advance the money, Mr. Qin, and I will pay you back when I return to the capital. I, the son of the dignified Prime Minister Zheng, cannot be short of your silver."

"If you don't have money, you can act like an uncle." Qin Qingyue had to say a few words to him to feel comfortable, but he still considered the overall situation, "Go back to Beijing and pay double, okay? If it works, just stay in a hotel, if not, just leave and find a place outdoors. Let’s make a living for one night.”

This is like taking advantage of others' misfortune.

As expected, he is a bad gambler and cannot be put on the stage.

Zheng Pin's teeth were itching with hatred, but he still had no choice but to say, "Deal, stay in the hotel."

Qin Qingyue quickly paid the money and asked for three upper rooms, one for himself, Zheng Pin and Qin Ruizhi. The rooms were on the second floor.

Because it was a post house, there were many caravans coming and going, and there was a general store in the post house, so I ordered a general store for the guards, and prepared two tables of wine and food, all of which were the signature wines and dishes of the post house, and served them. Enough, let them eat and drink to their heart's content.

Zheng Pin saw that Qin Qingyue was unreliable and hurriedly stopped him, "Qin Qingyue, if you let them drink, they will fall asleep. Who will keep watch?"

"Mr. Zheng, you are really the son of Prime Minister Zheng. You are aloof and do not understand human nature. Think about it for yourself. If you live in an upper room and eat good food, and let these guards sleep on the same bunk and eat steamed buns, they will feel comfortable. ? They feel uncomfortable, but they can still work for you wholeheartedly? Compare your feelings to yourselves, and if you show them a small favor, they will be more wholeheartedly working for you."

Qin Qingyue spoke eloquently and even asked for a pot of wine directly from the shopkeeper and drank it with the guards.

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Zheng Pin went to find Qin Ruizhi again, locked the door, and entered the house after getting permission. He saw Qin Ruizhi cleaning his sword. Two delicate swords with letters, the sword blades shone with silver light, and they were particularly dazzling under the lamp. You can tell it's a good sword just by looking at it.The light flickered, and Zheng Pin was startled to realize that he was distracted. He turned his attention away from the alphabet sword and talked about business, "Miss Qin, you should go and take care of your brother, right? He went to drink with the guards with the wine bottle. Oh, this is going to miss a big deal."

Qin Ruizhi didn't even raise her head, "You can drink if you want. It won't miss anything important. We have been in peace along the way, and we haven't seen a few gangsters who don't want to die who dare to disturb us.

I think you are too worried. If you are fine, go back to your room quickly. I will order food for you. After eating, go to bed early and take good care of your injuries.In the past few days, taking care of your injury, we have been walking very slowly. It is time to speed up. "

"How come you..."

Zheng Pin had nothing to say, but nothing happened in the past few days. Maybe he was worrying too much, so he stopped disturbing and went back to his room.

The three upper rooms are all on the second floor, connected together, and the stairs are on the right.

Zheng Pin lived in the middle, Qin Ruizhi and Qin Qingyue lived in the two rooms on the left and right, and Qin Qingyue lived in the room on the side of the stairs.

Originally, Qin Ruizhi wanted to live in the room on the side of the stairs, but Qin Qingyue insisted on occupying it, saying that it was not safe for people to come and go on that side of the stairs. Qin Ruizhi also disagreed with him and gave him the room, and stayed in the one on the back. room.

Zheng Pin returned to the house, and the sound of closing the door reached Qin Ruizhi's room.

Qin Ruizhi's eyes turned cold, and she immediately put down the sword in her hand and walked out. First she glanced at Zheng Pin's door, which was tightly closed at the moment, and then moved her gaze to the hall.

The tables in the hall were pushed together to form a huge table, just big enough for twenty guards. It was filled with dishes, and all the dishes in the post house were served.

Qin Qingyue shuttled among them carrying a wine flask. At one time, he was filling up the wine for this person, at another time he was advising the other person to drink more. At the other time, he said that the brothers had worked hard, so he raised his head and drank a large glass.

Really interesting.

Qin Qingyue stayed at Gao's house for a few days, but he didn't drink at all. Why did he suddenly feel like drinking in the evening, so he just drank it himself, and also diligently persuaded others to drink more?
It seems that tonight is destined to be an uneventful night.

Qin Ruizhi's eyes fell on Zheng Pin's door again. Zheng Pin still had Tong Liting's confession hidden in his body.

Although he had kept silent about this matter these days, Qin Ruizhi knew that he had taken away the confession, wrapped it in calfskin and hid it in the gauze dressing the wound.

As long as that confession reaches Kyoto and is presented to His Majesty, everyone who has anything to do with it will be inseparable.

In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land.There were only four money-making furnaces in the entire empire, which were jointly supervised by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. The money minted was directly incorporated into the national treasury and used for national production, water conservancy construction, disaster prevention and disaster prevention, and to maintain the operation of the entire country.

Now, a fifth money-making furnace appeared in Xiangzhou, and because of this money-making furnace, the emperor's brother rebelled, which shows how serious the situation is.

If the culprit behind the scenes cannot be found, the emperor's cautious and suspicious temperament would rather kill the wrong person than let go. All those who have anything to do with the money-making furnace, whether related or not, will die.
