Lord, pay for the wine

Although the bandit's departure was due to Zong Jinyu's money and efforts, and the inn's staff, Yan Anxuan, Zong Jinyu and the others did not make any noise.

Zong Jinyu naturally wouldn't say anything, after all, he didn't take it to heart, let alone publicize it!

It stands to reason that according to Yan Anxuan's temperament, if he did a good deed, everyone who could know it would know about it. Yan Anxuan euphemistically called such things as "making the inn famous and increasing the traffic, so that the inn can earn money to support his family!" 'However, Yan Anxuan kept his mouth shut this time because Yan Anxuan believed that bandits were a scourge. During the period of time in Yezhen, the people of Yezhen were deeply disturbed, frightened, and lost money.Although it is a great thing to get rid of bandits, Yezhen is a small place. Although the folk customs are simple and simple, the folks in the village are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. They like to stay away from trouble and watch the excitement without causing trouble.If they knew about the removal of the bandits, they would not be able to guarantee that they would not talk about it: "Oh, look, the people in their inn beat the bandits away."

"But I heard that the person named Jin Yu who lives in the inn came up with the idea."

"What's the background of that Jin Yu? When did he live in the inn?"

"I don't know, I heard that he is now a clerk at the inn."

"What? Dude? Nengyi from Shopkeeper Yan?"

"Why don't you obey? I heard that shopkeeper Yan has gained a lot of benefits?"

"Benefit? Where did it come from?"

"Where did it come from, it must be the one who captured the bandits!"

"Oh, all the bandit's belongings can be confiscated. Shopkeeper Yan is so cruel!"

"Yeah, I heard that the bandit's lair is in a small cottage deep in the woods over there, do you know? That cottage was deserted overnight! The bandits don't even know where they went!"

"Destroy corpses and wipe out traces!?"

"Yes, yes, one day, if you are not careful while eating, drinking and living in their inn, you may be robbed of your belongings and your life."

"Yeah, it's scary!"

"I won't go to drink money in the future."

"Yes. Not going."

……

Thinking of this, Yan Anxuan immediately stood up and shouted: "No!"

Chef and the others were startled by Yan Anxuan's shout.

The ink from Lin Yuehua's pen tip smeared a large part of the account book again. Looking at the few blank pages left behind, Lin Yuehua felt a little helpless, and could only look at Yan Anxuan sadly: "The shopkeeper, this is all because of you.

"What's wrong with you?" Zong Jinyu stood up and grabbed him.

The chef also said to Yan Anxuan in a daze: "Shopkeeper, are you okay? Why did you suddenly become obsessed?"

Yan Anxuan didn't reply, but was in a daze.Zong Jinyu sat down with his arms around his shoulders. After sitting down obediently, he took a glass of water handed over by the chef and drank it.Pulling Zong Jinyu's clothes, he said, "What should I do if there is no business in my inn?"

Zong Jinyu patted him on the back and comforted him, "No."

"But the wine is gone." Yan Anxuan said distressedly.

"This is an inn, not a winery." Zong Jinyu comforted.

"But..." Yan Anxuan covered his face and muttered, "They will all know that the people from our inn got rid of the bandits."

"It doesn't matter." Zong Jinyu comforted: "Even if they know about the inn, they won't be out of business."

"But..." Yan Anxuan wanted to say something more.

Xie Er, whose expression ranged from shock and disbelief to understanding after seeing the interaction between Zong Yan and Zong Yan, said, "Shopkeeper Yan, it's really the people in your inn who got rid of the bandits! You are really good! Tell me carefully. Xie Er looked expectant.

"What are you talking about? There will be no business!"

The chef was a little anxious: "Shop... shopkeeper, why is there no business? Shopkeeper, tell me, what's going on?"

"..."

"Yes, it's the shopkeeper." Lin Yuehua tore off the pages of the account book that were stained with ink at the back, and came over when she felt that she couldn't sit at the counter anymore.

"...Because I thank my ears." Yan Anxuan said it anyway.

"Oh? Shopkeeper Yan, I don't like to hear what you say. Your inn's business is not good, how can you blame me?" Xie Er anxiously shouted for grievances.

At this time, Xiaoer rushed over from the back hall again, and when he heard these words, he immediately yelled: "Shopkeeper, since the chatter may hinder our business, let's tie him up first."

Yan Anxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Xiaoer, Xie Er is our guest no matter what, how can we tie him up, but since he might hinder our business, we must guard against it. Come on! Close the door! Kidnap someone!"

Xie Er nodded when he heard Yan Anxuan's first sentence, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks and bowls when he heard the last sentence, and ran outside. Looking at Yan Anxuan: "Shopkeeper Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Anxuan ignored him, Xie Er could only look at Zong Jinyu: "Young Master Jin, what do you think shopkeeper Yan is doing?"

"Maybe the shopkeeper just wants to chat with you." From the discussion of several people, Zong Jinyu grasped the characteristics of this Xie Er, who was called a gossip by the second child: he likes to listen to gossip, and he remembers it very clearly. The mouth is not tight yet.

Such a person, Zong Jinyu shook his head and said: How did he survive to this day?Therefore, I also got a conclusion: the folk customs here are really simple.

"Jin Gongzi, do you know what shopkeeper Yan wants to talk to me about?" After struggling, he was caught by the little second chef and others and tied him tightly.

Zong Jinyu took a sip of water and replied, "The shopkeeper is right in front of you."

Xie Er wanted to cry, but said, "Shopkeeper Yan, what are you doing to tie me up?"

Yan Anxuan raised his chin in the direction of Zong Jinyu, and said, "Didn't he tell you, I just want to chat with you."

"Talk? Talk about what?"

"I won't tell you right now." Yan Anxuan didn't answer directly, but said to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, in order to make up for the many troubles you caused today, I resisted him into the chef's room, and I will talk to him personally later. chat."

"Huh? The shopkeeper, are you right?" Xiao Er was shocked: "I resist him? This pig is like a hot mouth!"

Yan Anxuan replied affirmatively: "It's you!"

"Doesn't he have feet?"

"He does have feet, but his calves are also tied tightly. Xiaoer, I read right, you tied them up, right?"

"...Can I move him there?"

"Whatever, as long as he's in the chef's room when I pass by later."

Xiao Er tried several methods but couldn't get rid of it, Xiao San wanted to help, but Yan Anxuan stopped him in time.

"Let him move by himself, Xiaosan, you can't help him forever." This is what Yan Anxuan said when he stopped him.

Xiao Er got anxious and kicked Xie Er's buttocks, Xie Er didn't refute, because Xiao Er stuffed his mouth with a rag.

After trying a few more times, Xiaoer asked Yan Anxuan solemnly: "Shopkeeper, can I drag him away?"

"for example……"

Hearing these two words, Xiao Er was encouraged, pulled Xie Er's hair and walked to the back hall, showing off to Yan Anxuan, "Just drag it like this."

"Little Er!" Yan Anxuan exploded, "You boy, resist me! Only resist!"

Xiao Er had no choice but to carry Xie Er with his head dejected, and he carried him groaningly, but he couldn't even stand up by himself.

Except Xiaosan who has been paying attention to him, the others are discussing about Xie Er.

"Boss, you said you wanted to chat with Xie Er, what do you want to talk about?" Lin Yuehua asked.

Yan Anxuan said seriously: "Do you still remember how Xiaoer and Xie Er became grudges against each other?"

"Remember to remember."

Among the answers of "remember", Yan Anxuan heard Zong Jinyu's "don't know" alone, so Yan Anxuan gave a general account, focusing on how Xie Er's groundless, nonsensical fabrications and his "running away" "Turn mouth" feature.

After listening, Zong Jinyu nodded and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't want him to tell the people in the town about us getting rid of bandits."

Yan Anxuan nodded: "Yes."

"Why? Isn't this a good thing?" The little second antibody asked in between.

"Yes, shopkeeper, why don't you let me tell you?" Xiaosan and the chef also had doubts.

"Doesn't the shopkeeper want the inn to be more famous?" Lin An and Lin Yuehua also expressed puzzlement.

"It's not like this! It's..." Yan Anxuan looked at Zong Jinyu, hoping that he could say what he said later, and Zong Jinyu lived up to expectations and continued: "The reason why Xie Er is called 'running mouth' , it is because he not only spreads the word quickly, but also intentionally or unintentionally embellishes what others say when he spreads the word, so..."

Yan Anxuan nodded in satisfaction: "So, we need to let him listen to the whole process of eliminating the bandits, including what each of us did and what results we got. Otherwise, after Xie Er's description, After the outrageous rumors from the folks, our inn is very likely to be misunderstood as a black shop for murder and robbery."

"The shopkeeper, why not just threaten him not to let him talk." Lin Yuehua suggested.

Xiao Er gave him a pair of blank eyes, and said, "You don't know Xie Er, as long as he's heard it, can you make him forget it? As long as he doesn't forget it, can that mouth shut the door?"

Yan Anxuan finished what Xiao Er said, and said: "Xiao Er is right, if you want to stop him from speaking, unless..."

Zong Jinyu answered in a flat tone: "Dead people can't speak."

"Hmm..." Xie Er, who was panting and still on the ground, heard their conversation, especially Zong Jinyu's phrase 'Dead people can't speak'. He moved his limbs anxiously, and his two legs were bigger than ordinary people. His ears were fluttering and he was struggling to speak.

Yan Anxuan squatted in front of Xie Er, and said softly to him: "Xie Er, will you listen to me well? If so, move your ears."

Xie Er moved his ears quite a bit.

Yan Anxuan nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the chef: "Chef, untie him."

"Okay." The chef quickly agreed.

When the tie reached the lower body, the chef couldn't untie it, so he had to ask Yan Anxuan for help: "Boss, this is a knot."

"Dead knot?" Yan Anxuan glared at Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, go untie!"

Xiao Er took a pair of scissors, cut off the rope in threes and fives, and said to Yan Anxuan, "It's done."

Seeing that Xie Er had finished moving his limbs, Yan Anxuan said, "You can listen to me."
