I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

"Step aside!"

On the street, a group of government officials pushed aside the vendors blocking their way and walked into a nearby inn.

"Have you ever seen this person?"

The government officials held a portrait, and it was Chen Chuxue who was painted on it. However, because it was not painted by an artist, it only had a four-to-five portrait.

The innkeeper was a little frightened when he saw the ferocious look of the government servant. When he heard that he was looking for someone, his heart skipped a beat.

He must not be a prisoner who committed something!

He looked at the person in the portrait carefully, and then shook his head. Indeed, he had never seen this person before.

In fact, even if you had seen him, you wouldn't be able to recognize him. After all, Chen Chuxue has never used his original appearance since he came here.

Of course, the innkeeper couldn't throw it out, and he didn't know that Chen Chuxue had opened a room in his inn.

At that time, Hongzhi was hidden in the room by Chen Chuxue.

When the boss said that he had never seen him before, the yamen servant naturally did not believe it and said, "Call all the guests out, and I will know if they are there..."

"Sir, I really have never seen this person, and he is indeed not in our inn." The boss looked a little unhappy when he heard this, "This is calling all the guests out and disturbing the guests' enjoyment. I will just do this business." I can’t go down anymore…”

"If you don't call the person out, how will I know if you are harboring a prisoner?" The officer slapped the table angrily, "It is a capital crime to harbor a prisoner."

"Don't dare, don't dare." The innkeeper said with a smile, "I am a small shop owner, how dare I harbor any criminals."

With that said, the innkeeper calmly took out the money from his arms and handed it to the government servant without anyone noticing.

The officer's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention. He coughed immediately.

"Okay, it's not easy to watch you, but let's make an agreement first. If we find this person, we will report it immediately. If I know that you are harboring the prisoner, you will be dead..."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The innkeeper sent the government servants out of the house like they were sending off the plague. Seeing them harming other people, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Shopkeeper, we are not harboring prisoners, do we need to be afraid of them?"

A waiter next to him said dissatisfiedly, they were walking and sitting upright, so were they still afraid of being searched by these people?

"You do not understand."

The shopkeeper shook his head and looked at his nephew, "Things that can be solved with money are nothing. Besides, the King of Hell is easy to mess with and the kid is difficult to deal with. If you say that we are not harboring anything, will they believe it?"

The salaries of these government officials did not have much money at all, so most of their income was extorted from the people.

Especially for business people like them, they come over from time to time to check on them. Even if they don’t do anything bad, if they come here every two days, what will others think?

Those guests may wonder, is this inn a shady hotel?

Otherwise, why would the government officials come over every day to check?

Moreover, with these government officials around, those guests felt uncomfortable. Over time, these guests would not dare to stay in his house.

When no one comes to stay at the store, it will have to close down.

Many shops were closed down by these government officials in this way.

Later they found out that these government officials were in it for money, and as long as they had a little money, they could be sent away.

Therefore, for those who are doing business, it is worthwhile to be able to send them away with this little money.

After the government officials left the inn, they went to another shop. Soon, the shopkeeper of that shop also sent them in respectfully.

The head yamen official weighed the silver in his sleeves with a smile on his face. If people want to find money, they must also take the money.

Speaking of which, because of the famine, they basically had nothing to do, let alone make money.

Now that they finally have something to do, they naturally want to make enough money. As for finding someone, it's just a matter of course.

Anyway, the higher-ups have given orders to look for people slowly.

Although he didn't say it clearly, he already understood the meaning, that is, it was just a show, and it was best not to actually find the person.

Pretend, this is their specialty. However, some people don't think so.

There was a new yamen officer who wanted to make some achievements. He was a little anxious when he saw that they had been looking for him for two days without success.

"head!"

"We won't be able to find anyone if we keep going like this." The young government official said, "We've been searching for two days, and there has been such a big commotion. That person must know about it."

"What do you mean?" The head of the government office narrowed his eyes and looked at him. This kid is not sensible at all. He didn't show any respect to him when he first came in.

I don't know where this kid got the relationship with the chief clerk and became a yamen servant. I thought he just wanted to hang out, but who knew he was so active in doing things.

When the county magistrate arranged things for them, this kid went beyond his boss and took the initiative to solicit things.

Moreover, he would suggest this and that from time to time, making it seem like he was the boss and he was his younger brother.

Originally he was just a clown and didn't care, but now he jumped out in front of so many brothers.

Doesn't he want to lose face?

However, he was not angry, but he wanted to see what other blind ideas this kid had come up with.

"Oh? Really? What good idea do you have!"

The young government officer didn't notice the boss's expression, and said excitedly, "We often go to inns and restaurants these days. That man must have noticed it, and he will definitely not stay in the inn stupidly..."

"I took advantage of the time yesterday and inquired about it. There is an abandoned house in the north of the city. I guess that person will definitely be hiding there."

"We can go over there and search while the person hasn't reacted yet. We can definitely catch him and then we can make a crime."

When the head of the government office heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he went to search the ruins. How could he make money?

There's not even a single person there. Are you looking for money from ghosts?

Besides, it’s not like he hasn’t guessed where the person might be hiding, but it’s not like he didn’t know the requirements above, and he was just pretending. If he really caught the person, would he still be meritorious?

What a joke!

Maybe the boss will kick you out the next day just because you entered the Yamen with your left foot.

Thinking of this, his face darkened, "It's your kid who wants to make meritorious deeds!"

"You want us to help you perform meritorious deeds so that people can kick me out. You will be the boss, right?"

Hearing this, the young government officer was stunned and hurriedly explained, "No, boss, please listen to my explanation, that's not what I meant..."

"That's not what you mean. What do you mean?" the head of the government office said with a gloomy face.

The young government officer had obviously never experienced this kind of situation, and he was so confused that he didn't know how to explain it.

"Besides, this is all your guess. If you think this way, others won't think so? Are you treating people as fools?"

The head of the yamen sneered and started beating, "Do you think that except you, everyone else is a fool?"

"No, no..." The young government officer shook his head. After hearing what the boss said, he really hadn't thought about this. If others did the opposite, then he would have missed the opportunity.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt ashamed, "Boss, I know I was wrong."

The head of the government office couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. He still understood the principle of giving someone a sweet date with a slap in the face.

So he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Read more and learn more. It's not impossible for me to give up my seat to you in the future."

"Thank you, boss." The young government officer's face was filled with excitement.

Seeing that he had caught this kid, the head of the government office showed a satisfied smile, "Let's go, continue to search other inns, and then go to that place after searching the inns."

Chen Chuxue and others naturally didn't know, because of the relationship between the yamen leader, they could avoid being exposed so quickly.
