Hearing the movement downstairs, Bai Lian raised her eyebrows, it seems that Boss Li has become a lot more courageous now.

In the past, my heart was full of calculations, but I was still very cowardly, and now I dare to stab people.

A large part of the reason is because he drank alcohol last night, otherwise, with his temperament, he would not dare to fight.

It's not that he has no blood, but that he believes in his bones that he is an elegant person, and he loses his identity when he does it.

The most important point is that he is afraid of pain.

It's good to be drunk, and dare to fight for your life.

Bai Lian put on her clothes, washed briefly, and went downstairs to watch the fun.

Guo Bei was already downstairs, and his face was a little bad. Seeing Bai Lian coming down, he quickly came to Bai Lian.

Bai Lian glanced around, the door was closed, a middle-aged woman sat on the ground with a pale face, and there was a boy about six years old beside her.

In addition, there is a couple, this couple is about forty, and their faces are flustered.

At the door, the two servants were a little uncomfortable holding a kitchen knife at the door, and the shopkeeper did not know where to go.

"Master, they won't let you go."

Guo Bei came to Bai Lian and said in a low voice.

Bai Lian raised her eyebrows. Could it be that she was covering up Boss Li?

"What do you mean?"

Bai Lian looked at the two little servants whose legs were trembling slightly.

The two servants glanced at each other with panic in their eyes. They were just servants of a death contract, and they still dared not kill.

But if the people in the house are released like this, others will know that there is a murder here, and it was killed by Zhang Zhuangyuan's relatives.

It will always fall into place.

Mrs. Zhang had explained to them several times, that Boss Li must not be allowed to cause trouble, and even if he did, he would have to settle it with money!

After the man who had an argument with Boss Li yesterday died, Boss Li disappeared.

He must have done it, so the first thing the shopkeeper did was to let the two of them guard the gate and not let the people in the building go out.

The shopkeeper has already gone to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and the chef is still guarding the middle-aged man's room.

Now the people in the house are all the guests in the inn, which shows how bad the business here is.

"Do you think you can stop us?" Bai Lian glanced at the flustered middle-aged woman, "If someone died in your store, shouldn't you report it to the officials?"

Bai Lian noticed that the middle-aged woman shivered a bit when she said the report.

The middle-aged woman had some scars on her skin, and some new bloodstains on her wrist, which looked like they were drawn with some kind of whip.

Even the skinny little boy.

From the beginning, the little boy was very silent, glancing at the middle-aged woman from time to time.

The boy also shivered when he heard Bai Lian speak of the police officer.

"I'm sorry, the shopkeeper of our family will be back soon. When he comes back, he will definitely give everyone an explanation!" The little servant was sweating on his head.

That is, the two of them are holding kitchen knives, otherwise the few people here can subdue them no matter what.

"Please let us go! We won't report to the officials!"

The middle-aged woman pulled the little boy tightly and prayed.

The two servants looked at each other and ignored the woman.

The person who died was her husband. It sounds nice now, but it will be troublesome if he regrets it in the future.

This woman may be fine. They are just servants. If Madam Zhang is to blame, they will probably die.

"Our shopkeeper will be here in a while. Let's talk about compensation, don't worry." Another young servant said comfortingly after seeing the middle-aged woman's flustered face.

Their purpose is just to stabilize the middle-aged woman and the people in the inn. They are afraid of the rumors that they go out and leak. If people outside rumors that Zhang Zhuangyuan is not good, it will be troublesome.

Mrs. Zhang does not allow others to have bad comments about Zhang Zhuangyuan.

Killing people, not only they dare not, Mrs. Zhang also dare not.

Just come and bribe them with money.

Now human life is worth some silver, and the life of an adult man is only 10 taels of silver in Yaxing!

If you negotiate privately and don't report it to officials, no one will investigate such murders and unprovoked disappearances.

"We don't want money, let's go!"

Guo Bei had a dagger hidden in his sleeve. If he was here by himself, he would dare to run out desperately. Anyway, he is a man and has an advantage in height.

But Bai Lian is also here now, if you don't pay attention a little, it will be bad if the two servants' knives hit Bai Lian!

"No way!" The little servant shook his head and sighed, "Don't worry, our master family will definitely not do anything to you!"

"I heard that this is the shop of Zhang Zhuangyuan's family. We believe that Zhuangyuan Lang is a good person. If you let us out, we will not talk nonsense!"

The older man said that he was the only man here besides Guo Bei.

"Wait in peace, don't think about going out! As for whose store is here, it has nothing to do with you, don't guess!"

The cook came out of the room on the first floor with a bad look on his face and glanced at the middle-aged woman, "Your husband is the one who died, don't worry, the master will give you an explanation, and now everyone is waiting quietly!"

When the older middle-aged man saw that the cook was also holding a knife in his hand, he immediately stopped talking.

A group of people froze in the hall like this.

The calves of the two servants were shaking. They always greeted people to eat. Where did they get the knife!

"Come and sit for a while!"

Bai Lian sat on the chair where others were eating in the hall and said to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman has been crying silently, obviously panicking to the extreme. After hearing that this is Zhang Zhuangyuan's inn, her body trembled even more.

I don't know if I'm afraid of being silenced, or if I'm afraid of something else.

The little boy glanced at Bai Lian timidly, then dragged the middle-aged woman to sit on the chair with great difficulty.

As soon as she sat on the chair, the middle-aged woman seemed to be exhausted and slumped on the chair.

Bai Lian glanced at her fingers, their fingers trembled slightly, and there was a faint trace of blood between the nails.

Boss Li did go to the first floor to stab someone last night, and the middle-aged man was indeed stabbed to death.

However, not dead.

Although he couldn't survive without treatment, he could barely survive for a few more hours.

And—the middle-aged woman just gave him a ride.

Bai Lian didn't feel that the middle-aged woman was cruel after knowing it from Li Mice's mouth. Judging from the injuries on the middle-aged woman and the little boy, the middle-aged man was not a good person either!

"Bang bang bang!"

"The old lady is here!"

There was a knock at the door, and the shopkeeper's voice sounded outside. The voice was so small that the people inside could barely hear what he said.

"Is the old lady here?"

The little servant was stunned for a moment, and then quickly opened the door after reacting.

Then an old lady in ordinary clothes and a man entered the inn.

The old lady is the Widow Zhang, who is envied by the village.

The other man was the innkeeper.

Bai Lian raised her eyebrows, long time no see, but Widow Zhang looks younger than before.

That's right, after all, I haven't done any rough work in the past five years, and I don't have to grind tofu from morning to night. I just need to be an official wife.

"Who is that person's wife?" Widow Zhang looked flustered and glanced at everyone in the hall.
