The man knelt down and kowtowed three times towards Dong Jian. Dong Jian couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Didn't you want to compete? This time, all three of them became my servants. But that may be a good thing, since you don't have to wander around.

"Get up. From today onwards, follow my caravan."

That night, Liang Tian and Dong Jian brought everyone to find an inn, wrapped up a courtyard and stayed there. This inn was called East Gate Inn and it was a very large courtyard. Inside, there were many small courtyards, which were very suitable for those rich people who brought servants and servants to stay the night.

Seeing that they had come to such a large scale of business, the owner of the inn started to busy himself, directing the servants to help them settle the horses, goods, and other goods, when they were done, he ran to Liang Tian and Dong Jian and said with a fawning smile: "Two Guest, our inn has good wine and dishes, and there are even people shaking the dice in the front. Are you going to go ahead to play, or do you want to bring some wine and vegetables over?"

All the people who opened inns had hotels, casinos, and even prostitutes. Liang Tian and Dong Jian, who were born a bandit, was no stranger to this kind of people. However, they were now burdened with such a heavy responsibility. Liang Tian waved his hand and said lightly: "Bring us some wine and vegetables."

"Alright." The shopkeeper nodded his head, but did not go out. Instead, he revealed a vulgar and alluring smile and continued to speak: "Two Guest s, a few new girls came to our inn from Jiangnan, and they are very pretty. Do you want some of them to accompany the Guest?"

"No need." Liang Tian frowned and waved his hands impatiently. This was not because Liang Tian, Dong Jian and the others were clean and easy going, but because Yang Lin had said that if anyone dared to provoke a girl, they would have to marry her, and they did not want to marry any women.

"Alright." The storekeeper bowed his body and left, but his two small eyes constantly swept over their carriages and luggage. He had already swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before he even went out the door. Everyone could almost hear the sound of him swallowing.

"Guest, this shopkeeper is not a good person. His eyes are like a thief's, and I don't think he has any good intentions?" Just as the shopkeeper left, Zhang Xiang immediately said to Liang Tian and Dong Jian. Having roamed the martial arts world for years, Zhang Xiang was extremely careful in everything he did.

Actually, even without Zhang Xiang's reminder, Liang Tian and Dong Jian had already noticed it. This was what they ate anyway. How could they not know the dangers of the inn? At this time, the inn had a poor reputation, and it was often a low-level industry that only people who made a living could do. Inn is also not safe, often illegal things, such as robbery, fighting, gambling, and so on.

"They won't be able to overturn the sky in front of the Son of Heaven." Liang Tian laughed, and said with disdain. They were not good people to begin with, and it was already good enough that they did not want the inn. If that storekeeper dared to provoke them, then that was unless he did not want to live anymore.

From the second day, Liang Tian and Dong Jian had their subordinates split up to inquire about the purchase of the house. They claimed to be merchants from the Jizhou, and wanted to buy a house and open an inn in the Luoyang. Currently, they were living in the East Gate Inn, whoever had a house would come to the inn to look for merchants Zhang Lin and Liu Shun from the Jizhou, and from now on, they would be in charge of this place.

This was a place where people rarely gathered, especially in hotels. Many people would go there to drink a glass of water and chat, and presumably, if a family sold their own property, the hotel and merchants would definitely be able to listen in on the discussions.

However, wanting to buy a house so urgently was not an easy thing to do. Liang Tian and Dong Jian had been searching for a few days, but they had not been able to find a suitable house. There was actually a small house, but if Liang Tian and his team wanted to buy a big house with a courtyard, they would need to open an inn. It was not easy to be spacious and face the street.

A few days had passed and there was still no sign of a house. Inevitably, Liang Tian and Dong Jian started to get anxious. After discussing it for a while, the two of them decided to leave Zhang Lin, Liu Shun and Zhang Xiang to slowly search for a house in Luoyang.

After making their decision, they sent people to greet the shopkeeper of the East Gate Inn. That afternoon, they packed their goods and prepared to leave the Luoyang on the second day. The shopkeeper was quite enthusiastic and even sent a few waiters from the inn to help clean up the horse carriages.

The morning of the second day, just as Liang Tian and Dong Jian were about to leave, they suddenly heard the ruckus in front of them. Before they could even figure out how to get back, a dozen of East Gate Inn's servants ran over and stopped their horse carriage. Each of them looked extremely angry, as if someone had stolen their things.

"Stop!" You can't leave! "

"Stop, stop! Come with us to see the officials!"

"Wait, wait, we need to check!"

The waiters of the inn were shouting and blocking their way. They were holding kitchen knives, fire sticks, and wooden sticks, and were menacingly inspecting their carriages. Some came up to pull Liang Tian's and Dong Jian's carriages, while others stretched their hands out to flip through their goods.

Liang Tian thought that they had lost something in the tavern. Although they used to do this kind of thing often, ever since they joined Yang Lin's Youzhou Army, they had never looked down on this sort of scheme. His face darkened as he yelled loudly: "What's going on?"

Just at this time, the manager of the East Gate Inn and the Mr. Clerk ran over. The Mr. Clerk immediately cupped his hands towards Liang Tian and Dong Jian, and laughed awkwardly: "Two Guest s, I am really sorry, but our shopkeeper's newly bought concubinage has suddenly disappeared. Someone saw her go to your house last night, and didn't come out, so they suspect that you two hid the shopkeeper's concubinage inside the carriage."

"Ah …"

Not only Liang Tian and Dong Jian, practically everyone was shocked as well. In the past few days that they had lived in the East Gate Inn, they had never allowed women to enter their courtyard. Yesterday, they had to leave, but everyone drank together, they had never seen any woman.

Liang Tian and Dong Jian who had been in the martial arts world for a long time immediately felt that there was a problem. They turned around and glanced at the ten or so horse carriages, if they wanted to hide a woman, it would be fine, but could they hide a woman inside the carriage to frame themselves?

"Guest, please let us search everyone. If there are no people here, we can clear you guys of any suspicions." That Mr. Clerk acted like a good person and advised Liang Tian and Dong Jian.

Although Liang Tian and Dong Jian were suspicious, if they didn't search, he couldn't explain it, and they wouldn't let him go either. Even if there was some trap, it would have to be searched by them. The two of them looked at each other, then Liang Tian said to the shopkeeper: "You guys go ahead and search, but you guys be careful, don't mess with our goods."

"Alright." The shopkeeper had been waiting for this moment for a long time. His pair of crafty little eyes flashed with a cold light as he turned around and waved his hand at the waiters, "Are you listening? "Search carefully!"

"Sure!" The waiters all rushed forward, pouncing towards the horse carriages. They didn't care about anything else and just simply threw those precious furs down. Within a few moments, they had scattered all over the ground.

"It's here!" Suddenly, a servant called out, his voice was loud, causing Liang Tian and Dong Jian to be shocked. When they ran over to take a look, they saw a woman in heavy clothing lying on the carriage. Her eyes were tightly shut, as if she was asleep.

"I'm leaving!" In Liang Tian's and Dong Jian's hearts, it seemed as if they let out laments at the same time. Whether or not it was an intentional framing by the inn, they had no way of escaping today. Losing some money was a small matter, but he might even drag them to the government or imprison them.

The assistant pushed the woman, but there was no movement. He reached out his hand to poke under the woman's nose. The woman suddenly sneezed, causing him to retract his hand out of fear.

"Why are you lying here?" The storekeeper immediately walked up, grabbed the woman, and asked loudly.

"I... I... I was fine when I was beaten up. I don't know anything. " The woman was so scared that she started to cry and stammered.

"Alright, let's see if you have anything else to say. Come with us to the officials. If I don't let you all go bankrupt, then my surname will not be Zhang! " The storekeeper seemed to have calmed down and aggressively rushed forward.

At this point, Liang Tian and Dong Jian had actually calmed down. They understood that they had already fallen for the trap of the inn. Even if they had ten thousand mouths, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves. Liang Tian waved his hands, pretending to be extremely angry, he said: "Innkeeper, this is a trap, let's go see the officials."

"Let's go to the officials!" Dong Jian immediately followed and shouted loudly, as though he was even more anxious to meet an official than the shopkeeper, "I'm not lying, there is actually someone setting up a trap at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"

In fact, Liang Tian and Dong Jian were both unwilling to see the official, they still had to collect information from the Luoyang, and did not want the authorities to notice them, it was just a bluff just now.

Just as everyone was making a racket to go see the official, the Mr. Clerk suddenly stopped everyone and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, now that we have found him, if we were to cause a ruckus in the government, isn't this the shopkeeper's face? It would be better to discuss and discuss with the two Guest s and settle this privately. "

Liang Tian and Dong Jian immediately understood, they were planning to extort him, and the reason they planned this plan, was because they wanted to obtain his money. If not for the big matter of the Lord General, they really wanted to go with them and cause a ruckus in the government.

"No way, no way. This must not be done in private. We have to go to the government to find out!" Although Liang Tian and Dong Jian did not want to see an official, they still had to keep their mouths shut to prevent them from seeing an official.

"The two Guest s, he is in your carriage, it is your fault that he went to heaven in a lawsuit. "I think it's better to keep it private so that we don't suffer physical pain." The Mr. Clerk glared at Liang Tian and Dong Jian fiercely as he spoke.

"Old masters, I think it's better to keep this a private matter." Just then, Zhang Xiang came up to advise. He did not know the background of Liang Tian and Dong Jian, and he was even more afraid of meeting the government officials. For the sake of letting his family members die in the government officials' hands, he did not want the master that he had just sought to go bankrupt.

"Alright then. Tell me, how can I settle this matter privately?" Liang Tian pretended to be helpless, and said while shaking his head.

"This is our head storekeeper's beloved concubinage. The head storekeeper likes it extremely well, and now that he has been tainted by you, our head storekeeper might even be very sad." The Mr. Clerk stopped and looked at the shopkeeper, but he did not seem to be sad, he turned and said to Liang Tian and Dong Jian: "You guys take out a hundred thousand and let our shopkeeper vent his anger, let's forget about this."
