The greatest emperor of all time? Even in modern times, he still has to work!

dong dong dong~

The knock on the door startled Chow Tai Fook. He thought that it seemed like they hadn't had any contact with anyone for a long time in the past month.

Thinking of this, Chow Tai Fook became alert to the people outside the door.

"Who?"

"anyone there?"

"We are passing by on our way to Chang'an City. It's curfew now, and your store is the only one that still has candles. We want to stay here!"

The voice outside the door sounded like that of a young man, but judging from the figures at the door, there was more than one person.

Chow Tai Fook didn't want to open the door. He looked around the hall and hid all the things he had brought back.

"I'm sorry, guest. Our store has been closed for more than a month. It's not suitable for living. I'm afraid it's disturbing to you. Please go to other inns!"

"We have asked all about this area. You are the only one who still has candles lit. We don't mind. As long as there is a place to shelter from the wind, we will pay you the usual price! Or maybe double it?"

The person outside the door sounded a little anxious.

Chow Tai Fook knew that there was a curfew and that all the businesses in their area closed early.

"Guest, this is not about money. The main thing is that our store is closed to customers!"

Chow Tai Fook persisted.

The person outside the door seemed to have heard Chow Tai Fook's insistence and muttered a few words outside the door. Chow Tai Fook didn't hear it clearly, but the person left after a while.

Then there seemed to be a knock on the door of the inn next door.

At this moment, Wang San came out with hot paste.

"Boss, I seemed to hear some noise just now, is someone coming?"

"Someone at the door said they wanted to stay in the hotel, but our store is closed now, so how can we stay in the hotel?"

Chow Tai Fook will definitely not let anyone in.

Wang San felt that Chow Tai Fook was right. "Boss, have you finished writing? The paste is better when it's hot."

“Right away!” Chow Tai Fook hurriedly continued writing and soon finished the transfer notice. The price was moderate and negotiable, but it couldn’t be too low so as not to arouse any suspicion from those outside.

Soon, two people came out, one holding a candle and paste, and the other holding a notice, and they opened the door.

Chow Tai Fook posted the notice, held up a candle and checked to make sure it was not crooked.

The candlelight flickered and the night breeze was chilly. Zhou Dafu and Wang San both shivered. It seemed that they had to go home and ask their wives to prepare autumn clothes. It seemed that the weather was getting colder especially quickly this year.

"Both of you!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Zhou Dafu and Wang San were frightened. Normally, Wang Sansan couldn't make a sound even when beaten with a stick, but now he was screaming louder than anyone else. People in several neighboring inns opened their windows and lit candles.

"You two, don't get excited, don't get excited, we just knocked on your door, don't get excited!"

Zhou Dafu and Wang San were now making a fuss and grabbing and hitting the two people in front of them in panic. The man opposite gritted his teeth and calmed down Zhou Dafu and Wang San without hurting them.

The man standing behind the man looked at the three people in front of him who were in a mess with an indescribable expression.

"Quiet! Don't get excited, we just want to stay in the hotel!!"

Zhou Dafu and Wang San calmed down and looked at the two people in front of them with lingering fear. Wang San even put the candlelight in front of the two people in front of him.

The man standing in front of him was tall and strong, with a dignified and square face. He was obviously a martial artist. As for the man behind him, he looked a little weak, but also handsome and noble, like a rich young man from a wealthy family.

Zhou Dafu felt strange. Which rich young man would go to an inn with only one guard in the middle of the night?

"Are you going to stay in the hotel? It was you who knocked on the door just now?" Chow Tai Fook looked up and down at the two people in front of him.

"Yes, this area is full of people, and no one answered our knocks except yours. Now that we saw you guys coming out, we came over to ask."

The guard said so.

Chow Tai Fook was still looking at the two people in front of him.

"We don't live here, I told you!"

"We know that, but it's autumn now, the nights are getting colder, and my young master is weak, so he needs a place to shelter from the wind!" The guard looked anxious. What if he couldn't find a place to stay tonight?

"Didn't you book a room in advance? You don't look short of money." Chow Tai Fook has been in the inn business for more than ten years. He knows all the twists and turns involved. For a rich young man, everything is arranged by his servants when he goes out. There is no way he would find an inn at the last minute at night.

So, this is what happened?

He can't get into trouble!

"You guys go away! No one lives in our store!" Chow Tai Fook made up his mind.

Seeing that Chow Tai Fook simply wouldn't listen, the guard planned to use direct intimidation, but was stopped by the man behind him.

"Forget it! Sorry for bothering me!"

The man behind him really seemed unable to bear the wind and coughed a few times.

The burly guard retreated, now revealing a ferocious look, which frightened Zhou Dafu and Wang San so much that they huddled together, but they dared not move after the man shouted at them.

"Let's go!"

After the two men left, Chow Tai Fook took a few more glances at them. In the cold wind, it seemed that the two men spent more money in the end. They talked for a long time in the inn at the end. It seemed that they added a lot of money. Because Chow Tai Fook looked at the burly man, he entangled with the waiter in the store for a long time.

Besides, everyone who runs an inn in this area knows who else. The one above is the most expensive one among them, and they like to ask for exorbitant prices the most.

"Are we going to Caiwang Inn?" Wang San looked around curiously.

"Yes!"

Chow Tai Fook nodded.

"They're going to be ripped off!" Even Wang San, who doesn't usually socialize with others, knows about the reputation, which shows that Caiwang Inn is indeed "famous".

"It's none of our business. Just live your life. Hurry up, close the door, and let's go back."

Zhou Dafu's family's home is in an alley not far away. This place is outside the city of Chang'an and is quite prosperous. However, it can be regarded as a kind of urban village in later generations.

"Remember, if someone comes next time, we have to be careful. Tomorrow I will ask my dad to come to the store and wait for us so that we can sell the store as soon as possible!"

Chow Tai Fook was worried and always felt that there was something wrong with the two people just now.

"Good Le!"

Chow Tai Fook and Wang San quickly closed the shop and went back.

It was another working day. When Qi Xi was having breakfast this morning, he heard Li Da and Li Er chatting and asked a question.

"Did you meet a bad guy?"

"Boss Qi is good, he is not a bad guy, I heard from the shopkeeper that he is a rich young man in trouble!"

Li Da shared with Qi Xi.

"Oh, but don't meddle in other people's business. I know your place is different from ours. Protect yourselves!"

Qi Xi didn't think it was a big deal. Manager Zhou and his people just ran an inn, so it was normal for someone to come and ask questions.

"Our boss said the same thing!" Li Da laughed, looking quite honest.

"Boss Qi, what should we do now?"

Li Er is still struggling.

"Well... to be honest, I can't give you any advice, because the situation is different. If I give you any advice, it would be nothing but empty talk! It will be of no reference value to you!"

It's really hard for Qi Xi to say. Even if she knew the current situation of the Han Dynasty, as a modern person, she grew up in an era of peace, prosperity and sound legal system. Her thinking is limited. She can't imagine the possibility that the people of the Han Dynasty will suffer because of an action.

"Why don't you go talk to Emperor Wu of Han? Even though it's a little late, he definitely knows more than me!"

Li Da and Li Er looked at each other and said, Emperor Wu of Han, they dare not!
