"Aiya! Thieves!" Chen Anan ran downstairs and cried,""Even I have nothing left."
Pang Boguang was annoyed by the quarrel between the lady boss and the mistress, and now Chen Anan was crying again. He said impatiently,""What's wrong with you now?"
"I have all the money for the clinic in my bag, as well as the travel expenses. I just went upstairs and saw that it was all gone. Sir, you have to help me find my money!”
Chen Anan was like a drowning person who wanted to catch anything that was floating, even a straw. Unfortunately, Chen Anan didn't know that the thieves and the officials were one family now. It was too naive to rely on the officials to get back the silver.
"Anan, why did you bring this here?" Zhu Yipin complained.”
"But we're already out. I don't feel at ease leaving this money at home!”Chen Anan stared at Zhu Yipin innocently and said,""If there's a fire, a theft, or a leak, it's also a risk to be eaten by rats!”
Chen Anan's sense of risk was indeed different from the others. She could even speak so confidently when she made a mistake.
Zhu Yipin took a deep breath and pulled Chen Anan to his side."" Anan, I think your understanding of risk is a little wrong."
Zhao Buzhu interrupted Zhu Yipin and asked carefully,""Wait a moment, I'll take all of it! Then wouldn't my salary for this month be too much?"
Zhao Buzhu's voice became softer and softer as he spoke. Although he had a premonition in his heart, he still made a final struggle.
"Don't mention it. Everyone's salary for this month is in it.”
Chen Anan's words shattered Zhao Buzhu's last fantasy. Only Yang Yuxuan and Liu Ruoxin could change their faces when the cruel reality was in front of them. After all, one of them had the East Chamber as his backer. Although the other had fallen, he was still a rich man with his previous savings. He did not care about the little salary at all.
"No, I can't take it. I want a body search.”This kind of blow was really too great for Zhao Buzhu. He was still hoping to get his salary as soon as possible so that he could go out and have fun.
However, Zhao Buzhu's wretched look at the lady boss betrayed him, causing the sympathy that had just risen to vanish.
"Young Master Zhu, you have to stand up for me!”The Lady Boss had been running the inn for so many years and had seen all kinds of people. How could she not see Zhao Buzhu's intention? She said shyly,"I was with you just now. Didn't you see everything?”
"No, you, you can't speak nonsense.”The lady boss's words were too easily misunderstood. Zhu Yipin stuttered for a moment. Didn't he know that this would make people misunderstand even more?
"Alright! You guys are indeed problematic. " You stole my man and my silver. I'll fight you to the death." Chen Anan cared about Zhu Yipin and money the most. The lady boss had both. She was asking for her own death.
Chen Anan bared her fangs and brandished her claws, wanting to rush over and teach the lady boss a lesson.
"Silence!" Pang Boguang watched the show for a while and finally came out to show his presence.
After all, Chen Anan was a commoner. When the official shouted, her imposing manner was immediately reduced by half. With Zhu Yipin's desperate hug, she finally calmed down temporarily.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Pang Boguang looked around and said,""I'm here. Do you think I'm air? Tell me, who reported the case?"
"It's me." The lady boss stood up and cried,"Sir, it's not easy for me to make a living." I opened this inn in this remote village, but I didn't expect these people to accuse me of stealing. Lord, you have to clear my name!”
Those who heard her crying were really sad. Those who didn't know the truth might really believe her when they saw the lady boss crying so pitifully.
Zhou Jie stood at the side and nodded repeatedly. With this acting skill, he might even be able to bring home an Oscar.
"Everyone, don't worry. I, Pang Boguang, have solved countless big and small cases. This small matter won't trouble me. You're the biggest suspect here, so I'll start with you!”Pang Boguang had a righteous look on his face, making people start to trust him.
The Lady Boss replied in a low voice," Yes," and followed Pang Boguang upstairs.
Zhou Jie shook his head. The two of them cooperated so well. If he didn't know about their relationship, he might have been fooled by them.
"Not good, I lost it!" It was another scream from the rich merchant's woman. Her voice was almost like a dolphin's.
Zhou Jie had just returned to his room, and now this was happening again. He sighed helplessly. He could forget about sleeping tonight.
When everyone arrived at the merchant's room, they saw the merchant pacing back and forth anxiously. The woman he brought with him kept screaming. Every step closer would destroy her ears.
"What happened?”Zhu Yipin was the most patient and rushed into the room first.
When the woman saw that someone was asking, she cried even more sadly,"My child, I lost my child."
Zhou Jie sniffed the room and said," This room smells the same as our boat yesterday. It must be that woman who took the child away yesterday."”
"Not good, Tong Tong!" Liu Ruoxin exclaimed. She was worried that Tongtong would be taken away, so she hurried back to her room.
Zhou Jie followed closely behind. Although Tong Tong was not taken away in the original novel, he could not be 100% sure. After all, Zhou Jie had already experienced the butterfly effect twice.
Zhou Jie and Liu Ruoxin ran back to the room and found that Tongtong who was sleeping on the bed was gone.
It was the first time Zhou Jie saw Liu Ruoxin so anxious. She didn't have her usual calmness. She raised her sword and wanted to chase after him. She didn't even consider that she didn't know where to go.
"Ruoxin, calm down. Look who's that." Zhou Jie pulled Liu Ruoxin back.”
Liu Ruoxin was suddenly hugged by Zhou Jie. She was about to struggle, but when she heard his words, she turned around subconsciously. He saw Tong Tong hiding behind the screen and carefully sticking his little head out.
Liu Ruoxin heaved a sigh of relief. She broke away from Zhou Jie's hand and hugged Tong Tong,""Tong Tong, you scared me to death. I thought you were lost too.”
Zhou Jie stood at the side with a smile, looking at the two people hugging each other. He suddenly felt that Liu Ruoxin might become a good mother.
Zhou Jie waited for Liu Ruoxin to calm down and suggested,""I'm worried that the woman from yesterday will come back again. Why don't we take Tong Tong to the shared room for a night?”
Liu Ruoxin didn't dare to leave Tongtong alone in the room after what happened last night. She nodded her head in agreement.
Zhou Jie and Liu Ruoxin each held Tongtong's hand and walked downstairs. They just happened to see Pang Boguang leaving.
Chen Anan was dissatisfied that Pang Boguang let the Lady Boss off so easily. He said unhappily,""Thieves should be arrested and brought to the yamen first.”
Zhao Buzhu said disdainfully," How do I grab it? Do I grab the little hand or the thigh?" Why do I feel that Pang Boguang and the lady boss are having an affair!”
"I was just about to tell you! Since you also think that there is a problem with the inn, why don't you squeeze in the big shared bed at night to prevent more accidents from happening?”
Chen Anan didn't dare to sleep on her own now, so she quickly agreed to Zhou Jie's suggestion.
When they entered the shared room of Zhu Yipin and the other two, Chen Anan pulled Zhu Yipin and said,""Brother Zhu, sleep here with me. I'll go first. Come quickly.”Chen Anan then lay on the bed of the corpse herder. Zhu Yipin wanted to warn her but it was too late.
Chen Anan closed her eyes and grabbed the hand of the corpse next to her and said,""Brother Zhu, you came too fast!”
"Anan, you should open your eyes.”Zhou Jie's mouth twitched. He had to admit that Chen Anan was really fearless when she was ignorant. She could lie down safely even when there was a dead body beside her.
Chen Anan opened her eyes and found Zhu Yipin still standing there. She looked at the corpse beside her and jumped off the bed with a scream.
"Why are you in such a hurry? There were two corpse herders sleeping there.”Zhu Yipin explained after the incident, but why did Zhou Jie feel that he was gloating?
Zhu Yipin ignored Chen Anan who was hiding behind him and said,""These two Taoist priests are too unprofessional. They actually left the corpses behind.”
"Eh?" Zhu Yipin picked up the note on the table and looked at it.""They left a note saying that they had left first. This is too strange. It was too much of a coincidence for them to leave as soon as they left the inn!”
"Maybe the two Taoist priests are with the lady boss." Liu Ruoxin guessed.”
"Impossible, they were playing with leaves all night, I can testify.”Yang Yuxuan knew that Zhu Yipin and Zhao Buzhu were having a good time with the two Taoist priests. If nothing happened in the middle, the four of them would definitely play until dawn.
"I have another question. We're here to find Tong Tong's mother. However, they had been losing children along the way, but Tong Tong had never lost a child. Why?”
Liu Ruoxin heard Zhu Yipin suspecting Tongtong and said unhappily,""You should worry about the lady boss first. I still think there's something wrong with her.”
"Ruoxin, you've guessed wrong. If it's really like what you said, this Lady Boss is cheating on you, stealing money, and even stealing your child. Isn't it a little too busy to do so many things alone?”
"Yo! Do you feel sorry for her when I say that?" Liu Ruoxin was jealous when she saw Zhou Jie speaking up for the lady boss. She thought about how a wife would not let go of her husband if he didn't explain clearly when he caught her having a mistress.
Zhou Jie didn't expect Liu Ruoxin to have such a big reaction to his joke, so he hurried over to comfort her.
Zhu Yipin was so happy to see Zhou Jie coaxing Liu Ruoxin.
However, before Zhu Yipin could be happy for long, Chen Anan grabbed his ear and said,""If Zhou Jie hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. What did you do in that vixen's room just now?”
"Oh right, I didn't remember until you mentioned it.”Zhu Yipin pushed Chen Anan away and took out a medicine bottle from his pocket. He handed it to Liu Ruoxin and said,""At this moment, I sneaked out of the lady boss's room! The medicine I found can neutralize the poison in Tong Tong's body.”
Zhu Yipin pretended that he had just remembered it, but Zhou Jie was just changing the topic, and Chen Anan really let him go.
At this moment, Zhou Jie couldn't help but envy Zhu Yipin. If only Liu Ruoxin could be as gullible as Chen Anan!
