He was certain that he had committed a crime by hiding the woman!
He found an excuse, Chen Yuan quickly went upstairs to his room, opened the door and took a look, everything inside was normal! Then he lifted up the quilt and found that the woman was still sleeping on the wooden board under the bed.
Chen Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief. It was clear that those people were still uncertain and didn't dare to openly enter and search.
They don't dare come in openly during the day, what about at night?
Chen Yuan knew he was in trouble this time!
In the afternoon, wine guests brought Chen Yuan a piece of explosive news for today's surname.
The outside world seems to be getting more and more chaotic. Bao Gong's three treasures were stolen by Bai Yutang, a fierce battle took place in front of the Taishi Mansion, and it is said that four martial artists from the Taishi Mansion were killed in the fight. These two cases have reached the emperor, who has issued an imperial edict requiring Bao Gong to solve them within one month.
These two things have not yet come to a head, and Bai Yutang has made another disturbance in the imperial palace. He wrote a poem at the Temple of Loyal and Brave Heroes, altered Peng Taishi's memorial, killed an eunuch, and then ran off under attack by a group of inner palace guards!
Chen Yuande was really afraid, because both things involved him, and if there was a slight disturbance, it would be a storm at Chen Shimei's place.
In the afternoon, several catchers came to search the inn. Fortunately, Chen Yuan was prepared and managed to avoid the search. However, he was certain that tonight would not be peaceful.
Customers are obviously very satisfied with this small wine shop, Chen Yuan's business is naturally good, and the afternoon starts early, and the stools are almost always occupied.
It wasn't even late at night when Chen Yuan had already sold out a jar of wine. He knew that today's business would be better than yesterday's.
While busy serving wine to guests, Bai Yutang came again! Still saying that old phrase: "Boss, pour the wine."
Chen Yuan didn't even lift his head and knew it was him, hastily stepping forward to respond: "I'm here! How many do you want?"
Bai Yutang said: "I drink wine all from forums, at least by the catty."
Chen Yuan immediately leaned his head close to Bai Yutang's ear: "How did you come again? Now the whole street is catching, and you still don't run?"
Bai Yutang looked at Chen Yuan's face and smiled slightly: "Did you sleep well last night, brother?" At the same time, he lowered his voice and said softly: "What about the person I asked to watch?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "It's okay, didn't get beaten up, but feeling a bit down."
Bai Yutang nodded reassuringly and quietly handed Chen Yuan a package: "This is something I happened to bring out from the imperial palace yesterday, it's probably quite valuable, help me keep it."
Chen Yuan was furious. "You still have the nerve to ask me for help? Now you want me to hide evidence for you?" He pushed the package back with one hand: "Are you trying to get me killed?"
Bai Yutang gently patted Chen Yuan's hand: "Let go, it won't look good for me if people see this."
Chen Yuan also let it go, if he really accepted these things, he might be beheaded by Bao Zheng even if he wasn't a prince consort!
He is very depressed, he just wants to do business honestly, who provoked whom?
Chen Yuan's temper flared up, and he didn't let go of his hand, whispering to Bai Yutang's ear: "I just want to make a living by doing business, I'm not playing with you, I'm telling you I don't play that game! Don't drag me in, okay?"
Bai Yutang was still smiling, with a hint of playful gaze in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yuan: "Brother, you don't seem like a timid person, why are you retreating now?"
Chen Yuan's chest heaved violently: "If you force me to be anxious, I'll shout it out loud right now. At worst, kill me and we'll all be done for!"
"Alright, go ahead and shout."
Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and Bai Yutang continued: "Those catchers can't catch me at all. Even if that cat comes, I don't care. I won't kill anyone, but if the catchers find out there's a woman in the room, who do you think will be finished, brother?"
One sentence sent Chen Yuan into an icy cellar. He hesitated for a moment, then relaxed his grip and gently smoothed out the wrinkled collar of Bai Yutang's clothes: "How did you know there was a woman in my room? Can't you let me off?"
Bai Yutang sighed: "Originally, I didn't want to come and bother you either, but I really couldn't find any other friends to drag down. Since you already have troubles, why not help me out with one more thing? If that woman is discovered by others, she'll die; if these things are discovered by others, they'll also die. Why not put them together? At most, it's just one death, and we can still gain something from it."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but look at the two of them pulling and tugging for so long, many wine guests had already cast their eyes over here, knowing that they couldn't drag it out any longer.
As soon as he received the package, he casually picked up a piece of tattered cloth and wrapped the package handed over by Bai Yutang, then tossed it onto a wine jar.
Bai Yutang smiled and stuck out his thumb: "Brother, you're really a clever man. The runners on this street have been coming and going, but none of them would think that what they're looking for is in that tattered cloth."
Chen Yuan was in a bad mood: "It's like this now, but if I stay any longer and get discovered by others, I wouldn't dare say that."
"Brother, rest assured, I'll leave in a few days. This is that cat's territory and I feel a bit of danger here. Soon, I plan to take him to my place for a visit and once I've put this package away, we're done."
Chen Yuan didn't even look at him and ignored him.
Bai Yutang saw that he wasn't speaking and felt a bit awkward, but he had come to find Chen Yuanting with something he hoped Chen could help him with.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the counter: "Brother Chen, I have one more thing to entrust you with."
Chen Yuan's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, his tone very friendly: "Big brother! I'm just a businessman, can't help with anything big!"
Bai Yutang coughed lightly: "This, I'm really sorry, but I heard that Bao Zheng is going to interrogate Yan Cha San the day after tomorrow. I wanted to ask Brother Chen to attend and listen in, also because I currently can't show my face."
Chen Yuan looked at Bai Yutang and found that Bai Yutang was looking at him with a very sincere gaze. He thought to himself, "Although Bai Yutang is not a good person, he is loyal to his friends." So he nodded in agreement.
Bai Yutang saw Chen Yuan and felt relieved, then suddenly lowered his voice and said: "That woman may have offended someone from the Tai Shi Fu, be careful, as far as I know, both Kaifeng Prefecture and Tai Shi Fu seem to be watching her."
After saying this, Chen Yuan only felt a chill run up his back.
"Everyone, it's up to you whether Lao Hei's husband can make the list tomorrow or not! Lao Hei and her husband are begging for your votes!"
