I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Chapter 90 She just wanted to cut off Gu Zhaoming's path to success

Shen Chunsheng slapped the table. "Bang!"

He said angrily, "That Li Ergou is too much! Next time I see him, I will break his legs!"

"Sister, are you okay?" Shen Dongting asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I ran out when they weren't paying attention and they didn't find me." Shen Rong said calmly.

Seeing that she was so calm, no one thought much about it.

My second brother and two sisters-in-law also didn't look very happy.

"We can't just let this matter go!" the sister-in-law quickly agreed.

Changsheng listened for a while and understood what they said. He also clenched his fist and said, "Hit him!"

"Brother, brother, I have something else to tell you." Shen Rong said seriously.

Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Rong's face. She calmly told her brothers and sisters-in-law the news she had heard while being locked in the room.

No one paid attention to the arson at first. Instead, they asked Shen Rong how to deal with that scoundrel.

Shen Rong paused, "Brother, second brother, I'm really fine. The scoundrel can't get away. Now this inn has been targeted by someone. This burnt down a large area. Now that we already know about it, we can't just stand by and watch."

"Sister, do you want to stop those people from setting fire?" Shen Dongting widened his eyes.

Shen Rong nodded.

"Then how can we stop it?" Boss Shen paused, as if he had thought of something. "You came here to live, don't you want to tell the shopkeeper here? But what if he doesn't believe us?"

After all, Shen Chunsheng is older and thinks more comprehensively.

"Yes! What if we run down there for no reason and say someone is going to set a fire, and we get kicked out?" Shen Lao Er also said.

No one doubted Shen Rong's words. As for leaving quickly and ignoring the matter, no one mentioned it.

Shen Rong also considered this issue. "It's okay. Let's go find the innkeeper later. If he doesn't believe it, I'll come forward and talk to him then..."

She never thought of becoming a fire-fighting hero like Shen Yuan, and she didn't want to gamble with human lives.

If something goes wrong, there would be such a huge risk, Shen Rong didn't want to risk so many lives.

She just wanted to cut off Shen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming's path to upward mobility.

As for whether Shen Yuan would tell the innkeeper in advance, Shen Rong bet her head that Shen Yuan would not do so.

For Shen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming, only if they put out the fire can they maximize their benefits.

Only in this way can you gain the favor of the county magistrate and establish a relationship with him.

If they wanted to prevent fire, they should tell the innkeeper in advance. At most, they can establish a relationship with the owner behind the inn and choose the county magistrate as their backer. He is also a merchant. Anyone with a brain will think of this.

Shen Rong had originally planned to go and tell them herself, but after seeing her two brothers, she changed her mind.

There was a smaller inn not far away diagonally opposite, and Shen Yuan was talking to Gu Zhaoming about firefighting at this time.

Shen Yuan didn't have that much money, so he had to settle for the next best thing and move into the smaller inn across the street.

She asked for a lower-class room and spent a full 100 taels of silver, which made Shen Yuan very distressed, and Gu Zhaoming's face also looked a little unhappy.

Fortunately, Gu Zhaoming was very concerned about his reputation and did not say anything outside. It was only after the two entered the room that he completely frowned.

"Gu Shenshi, why do you want to book a room here? If you want to stay for two more days, you can just take a bullock cart back and forth. Why do you have to spend so much money to book a room?"

Shen Yuan also felt sorry for losing so much money, but looking at Gu Zhaoming's expression, he knew that it would be unreasonable if he didn't explain.

Shen Yuan thought for a while and said, "My husband, I booked a room here not for fun, but because I just overheard a piece of news, and that news can help you win the favor of the county magistrate."

Gu Zhaoming was startled, and his originally unhappy expression disappeared completely. "What news?"

"When I went to the toilet just now, I heard someone discussing setting fire to the Tongfu Inn across the street at night." Shen Yuan paused and pointed at the houses outside the window. "If we put out the fire in time and saved so many people, do you think the county magistrate would look at you differently?"

Gu Zhaoming looked in the direction of his hand, and with his sharp eyesight he just happened to see the Tongfu Inn diagonally opposite.

The houses over there are denser and more numerous than here.

Is there anything else that Gu Zhaoming doesn’t understand?

If the inn opposite caught fire, it would not be a matter of just burning the inn, but a large area would be burned. With so many people and houses, plus the lantern festival at night, there would probably be many casualties. If he could put out the fire in time, it would only be a matter of time before he would get the favor of the county magistrate.

He was silent for a while and acquiesced to Shen Yuan's approach.

At this time, he didn't even think about informing the inn opposite in advance.

Here, Shen Chunsheng took his two younger brothers to find the innkeeper.

The shopkeeper's surname was Zhang, an old man in his fifties. He had been running this inn for most of his life. When he heard what Shen Chunsheng said, his heart suddenly tightened. He took a few breaths, slowly regained his senses, and then became a little doubtful.

"Are you brothers telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. We are ordinary people in Qingshi Town. If we weren't afraid of not being able to communicate with the shopkeeper, we would never spend two taels of silver to stay here for a night." Shen Dongting said quickly.

This was also the explanation Shen Rong had agreed with them in advance.

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Yes, it was obvious that they were villagers who came to watch the fun. They didn’t live too far away and could have taken a ox cart back and forth on the same day. There was no need to lie.

Shopkeeper Zhang was also confused and did not bother to ask the villagers in front of him how they knew the news.

"I have to inform the boss about this. Please wait a moment!" Shopkeeper Zhang said hurriedly and ran out of the meeting room.

The three Shen Chunsheng brothers looked at each other and had to sit on the chairs and wait.

After an incense stick of time, Shopkeeper Zhang came in with a man in his thirties wearing a navy blue robe.

The man had a very serious expression on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he looked the Shen brothers up and down and found that they were all ordinary villagers.

"This is the owner of our Tongfu Inn, Boss Zhang, and these are the Shen brothers." Shopkeeper Zhang introduced both parties.

When Shen Chunsheng and his friends saw the inn's owner coming to ask about it, they didn't think much about it and looked frank. "Boss Zhang, nice to meet you."

Seeing that the three brothers had frank expressions and clear eyes, and were not cunning people, Zhang Dongjia believed their words a little more.

He just nodded and asked:

"Thank you brothers for informing Zhang. Could you tell me how you found out?"

The three Shen brothers looked at each other, with a trace of embarrassment on their faces.

It is not a glorious thing that Sanniang was abducted. If this were to be made known to others, it would damage Sanniang's reputation.

"This..." Shen Chunsheng looked embarrassed.

That concerns his sister's reputation, how could he say that?

Of course they don’t say it. What if people don’t believe them?
