Chapter 168

One night passed, and another night was the sound of gold and iron colliding.

The next morning, Lu Cheng was woken up by a strong knock on the door.

When he opened the window, Lu Cheng was startled. Outside the door, there was a large group of people standing there, even more than Mrs. Yue brought.

These people are all naked, with sunken eye sockets, and they can't afford to eat for a long time.

At this time, these people were holding sticks and other weapons, and the family of three was the leader, standing in front of the inn.

Lu Cheng could clearly hear the woman's yelling from yesterday.

"It's this inn that robbed us of our food and beat people because of being a monk. We want justice!"

The woman kept yelling, and in one night, the family of three ran all over the nearby streets, attracting too many people.

And most of the people who can come here with her are people in the same situation, with no clothes covering their bodies, and they don't even try to distinguish the authenticity of the matter, because they also need a place to live, and they have a tacit understanding to fight against the enemy.

"Turn up this inn!"

"Go to the police! If I don't believe it, no one will care!"

The people at the door shouted loudly.

There is a saying that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and evil waters, which is not unreasonable. In this case, everyone would rather give up everything for a bite of food.

Lu Cheng couldn't open the door even if he wanted to. There were too many people in front of the door, and these people would be crazy about that little food.

A monk came and questioned him loudly outside the door.

Not long after, officers and soldiers from the imperial capital also came and asked what happened here.

The family of three told how they were deceived by this inn, how they robbed food, and how they robbed them by relying on their status as monks.

The officers and soldiers silenced everyone, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Let me ask you, is what they said true?"

"Nonsense." Lu Cheng opened the door and replied, then closed the inn door again.

He was not afraid of these people, but he was too lazy to argue with them.

The officers and soldiers are not fools. Judging by the appearance of the three members of this family, it is obvious that they have been hungry for a few days. It is impossible to say that they were cheated out of a bag of grain yesterday.

"Okay, let's break up, and stop messing around."

"Why!" the woman yelled, "You officers and soldiers are with him, defrauding us people, don't you think we are easy to bully!"

"Yes!" The man also followed, "You are bullying us! Tell him to open the door and return the food to us. One bag of rice is enough for all of us to eat!"

The man deliberately dragged everyone in, he knew very well that his family would not be able to defeat these officers and soldiers.

Sure enough, those people who came to look for trouble were about to retreat when they heard the shouts of the officers and soldiers. At this moment, they stopped when they heard the man's words, and shouted among the crowd, asking the inn to bring out the food.

"Hand it over! You are a family of officials and bandits, I can tell you that we are not easy to bully!"

"Hand it over, it's indeed the inn that did something wrong this time." The Nascent Soul Stage monk showed up last night to speak for the crowd.

With the strong backing of the Nascent Soul stage, these people have more confidence, and they shout more and more fiercely.

Helpless, these officers and soldiers knocked on the door of the inn again.

"What? Can't you handle it?"

"Shopkeeper, you have also seen the current situation. Now it is beyond our control. Why don't you treat it as a grace and give them a bite to eat? Today's matter will be considered resolved."

The officers and soldiers said to Lu Cheng in a negotiating tone.

"Impossible!" Lu Cheng directly vetoed it. What happened today was because he felt compassionate and gave the family of three a bite of food yesterday. Otherwise, there would be no such thing.

Lu Cheng knows very well that these people are white-eyed wolves. They won't appreciate you if you treat them well.

If today's meal is given, they will naturally regard this as a cafeteria.

"You bastard! Snatch our rice grains! Give us back my family's grains!" The woman saw that the door was opened, and there were so many people behind her, so she immediately rushed forward with courage and grabbed Lu Cheng.

"Everyone, come on!" The man encouraged the people behind him, and this shot was out of control. Some people took the lead, and the rest followed. They all rushed into the inn for that morsel of food.

Lu Cheng's face changed suddenly. If he really wanted to let this group of people rush in, he couldn't push him away. He pulled the officers and soldiers in front of him straight in, and then quickly closed the door.

Hearing the powerful beating sound outside, Lu Cheng let out a deep breath. He recalled the zombie movies he had seen before, and the scenes were nothing more than this.

Several officers and soldiers also looked terrified, saying it was too scary.

There are too many people around outside, as if they will not stop until the inn is demolished.

Finally, a high-ranking official came, who was in charge of security, and the officers and soldiers in the inn were all under his command.

The high-ranking official came to the door and shouted at the inside, "What are you all doing? Hurry up and arrest the criminals! Now that so many people are being persecuted by him, you don't distinguish between black and white, and you really want us to fall into the ranks of officials and gangsters." Fame!"

He shouted, and the officers and soldiers inside the door could hear him clearly.

Lu Cheng opened the window to watch, just in time to see the senior official talking with the Nascent Soul cultivator who was leading the crowd.

"Hmph, you are the fucking family of officials and bandits."

Lu Cheng sneered twice, turned around, and saw several officers and soldiers looking at him with embarrassing expressions.

Lu Cheng said: "I don't know if you have heard of what happened last time. More than a dozen people were cut off from my limbs."

Several officers and soldiers swallowed their saliva fiercely, they naturally heard about it, and the dozen or so people were not ordinary people, but powerful guards of the Forbidden Palace. Can have any good results.

An officer and soldier explained, "Treasurer, we didn't mean that."

"That's good, please." Lu Cheng smiled with satisfaction and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the people outside were all excited, thinking that the officers and soldiers who had just entered had caught the innkeeper out, but after a second look, these officers and soldiers were all bruised and swollen, as if they had fled from the inn in a hurry.

"what's going on!"

"It's really a gangster, not only defrauding our food, but also daring to beat officers and soldiers."

"In the imperial capital, at the feet of the emperor, why did such a thing happen!"

The high-ranking official walked to the door, "Brave maniac, I advise you to arrest him without a fight and give people an explanation! Otherwise, your inn will definitely not be able to continue, and you will have a place in the dungeon."

"My lord, you must be the master for us. This is a beast. I just asked, and many people have been deceived by him!" The woman came crying, followed by six people, all It is claimed that the food was cheated by this inn.

"Okay, this murderer is so bold! I'll gather my men now and flatten his shop!"
