Hearing Li Zongjiu's words, the owner of the Blood Gazing Tower narrowed his eyes. A few waiters not far away also quietly came over.
Interesting. I didn't expect this kid to be so courageous. He even dared to speak.
"That's right. Look carefully. It's written clearly on the menu. Our shop is a century-old shop. You're still young. Don't ruin our shop's reputation!"
The owner said fearlessly. If Li Zongjiu wanted to go back on his words, he had a hundred ways to make Li Zongjiu pay up. Otherwise, Li Zongjiu wouldn't be able to walk out of the door of the Blood Gazing Tower!
"Oh?
I see. "
Li Zongjiu glanced at the other party's lineup.
The fatty outside was also carrying the firewood. When he heard the commotion inside, he couldn't help but stand on tiptoe.
"Alright, six hundred it is."
Li Zongjiu said. He seemed to admit defeat. Then, he took out a money bag from his chest and threw it to the other party.
The owner took the money bag. He didn't even need to open it. He only needed to weigh it a little to know if there was a mistake.
Over the years, the money that passed through his hands was more than the money that you've seen before.
"Hehe, that's right. Our shop is open for business. You see, it's on such a large scale. Of course, we're honest. How can we cheat people? Our prawns are fed with the Heavenly Jade Spring. They're different. Take your time. I'll get a room for you."
The shopkeeper said with a smile. The waiters who had gathered behind him also dispersed.
"Okay …"
Li Zongjiu returned to his room.
He cultivated until night fell.
When night fell, in the woodshed in the backyard, the fatty was chopping firewood with all his might. His fat face was red and sweat flowed down his forehead.
Right at that moment, the owner of the inn walked in quietly.
"Owner, why are you here?"
The fatty hurriedly stood up and said. He was still carrying the axe in his hand and forgot to put it down.
"You, you, you, you, put down your axe before you speak."
The shopkeeper said. The fatty also put down the axe, wiped the sweat off his hands, and then wiped the stool beside him.
"Please take a seat, Shopkeeper."
"Xiao Wang, how long have you been here?"
The shopkeeper said with a kind and amiable face. No one could tell what the shopkeeper was thinking.
"Two months."
"It's been two months. When will you be able to pay back the 50 gold coins you owe me?"
"This … Shopkeeper, didn't we agree that we would call it even if I worked for three months? We even signed a contract back then!"
Wang Jing suddenly became anxious.
It wasn't easy to get out of the countryside, but he was cheated the moment he came out. Later, he couldn't help but eat a free meal here. Fortunately, everyone negotiated very well and let Wang Jing work here for three months to pay off the debt.
Fortunately, Wang Jing had been doing farm work since he was young, so he didn't mind suffering a bit.
,
"Your three months of work is indeed enough to pay off the money for that meal, but who will pay for the food you ate in these two months? I didn't say that I would provide food and accommodation for you. As for accommodation, I'll be generous and not count it as your payment. But the way you eat, it's enough to feed ten of my workers. Don't you think so?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but say.
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Wang Jing's face suddenly became uglier than if he had eaten something. His whole face sank. He never thought that the shopkeeper would arrange such a trick to wait for him.
"Then this … I …"
In that case, wouldn't Wang Jing have to work here for the rest of his life? Moreover, he wouldn't be paid.
I've already told grandpa that I'm going out to make a living. Once I earn enough money, I'll go back and marry Xiao Fang. What should I do now?
"Xiao Wang, you've been with me for more than two months. I've also treated you as one of my own people. So, I'll show you the way. Let's see if you dare to do it!"
"If you succeed, not only will you pay off your debt here, but you'll also get a lot of income. Moreover, your safety will be guaranteed. How about it?"
The shopkeeper said as he approached.
When Wang Jing heard this, he suddenly realized something. He quickly covered his chest and shook his head.
"No, shopkeeper. If you want me to do that kind of thing, how can I go back to the village in the future? How can I face people in the future? Absolutely not!"
Seeing the more than two hundred pounds of fat on Wang Jing's body shaking, this fat guy really thought that he was very popular. How could there be such a confident person?
Who on earth gave you the courage to say such words?
The shopkeeper suddenly slapped Wang Jing's head.
"What nonsense are you thinking about? Let me tell you, there's a rich guy in the fifth room. This is a sleeping gas. It won't kill him. You just need to spray it into the window. I only want half of the money, and the other half is yours!
Do you want to do it or not? "
The shopkeeper instigated.
When Wang Jing heard that he was going to steal someone's money, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he immediately became nervous again. No, how could he kill for money? This was wrong!
This was the idea that his grandfather had instilled in him since he was young. Of course, he couldn't destroy it.
Wang Jing was determined not to do such a thing.
"Listen to me first. This guy's origin is not simple. As far as I know, he seems to have come from the northern mountain to sell his stolen goods. He's a gang of bandits. However, their gang is too powerful. We can't report it to the authorities. So, we can only ask you to do it and then leave here. This will help you and punish the gang. You're doing the people a favor. Your grandfather will be proud of you!"
The shopkeeper said.
Hearing this, Wang Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.
If that's the case, then maybe I'm a little hero too!
"Really?"
The fat guy looked very kind and innocent.
The shopkeeper also nodded fiercely.
"If I lie to you, my inn will be on fire tonight!
And it will be the kind that can't be extinguished! "
Seeing that the shopkeeper had made such a vow, Wang Jing felt a lot more relieved.
"Okay, since this guy is a bad guy, can I punch him a few times later?"
The fat guy showed that he hated these people from the dark forces very much.
"Of course you can, but don't use too much strength. Otherwise, he will wake up in a while. Now is the time. Most of the guests are asleep. You go quickly. There are no guests on that floor. I have already arranged it."
The shopkeeper said.
For tonight's action, the shopkeeper directly arranged Li Zongjiu to stay in the guest room on the highest floor. The entire floor was empty.
"Okay!"
Wang Jing took the Ecstasy Smoke from the shopkeeper. He didn't even bother to change his clothes. Instead, he casually placed the axe on his waist. Then, he quietly crept forward.
The pitch-black corridor made Wang Jing feel a little nervous. He turned around and saw two waiters behind him, who had come to his aid.
These two waiters were responsible for providing support and also to prevent Wang Jing from escaping. If he ran away, their efforts would be in vain.
This Li Zongjiu was definitely a disciple of a large sect who had come out to gain experience. He might have some good treasures on him.
Money didn't matter. It was secondary. If he had some special things, some special treasures, he could make a lot of money. This was what the shopkeeper cared about.
"Boss, are we really going to let this fat guy go?"
The shopkeeper and several waiters hid in the woodshed and looked at the situation in the opposite room.
"Humph, not only will I let him go, but I will also send him off!"
These waiters also heard the coldness in the shopkeeper's voice. They were afraid that this little fat guy wouldn't survive. After all, only if this little fat guy died on the way to escape, this matter would be completely hidden. No one would know that he was the culprit. If something happened, there was still the gang behind him.
Wang Jing came to the door of Li Zongjiu's room and quietly poked a hole in the window. He saw the situation inside and found that Li Zongjiu was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed.
However, Wang Jing didn't directly blow the sleeping gas in.
Instead, he turned around.
He made a gesture to the two waiters behind him. This gesture meant that Li Zongjiu had run away.
