"Lin Tao, go to the town and ask for news.

Let's find a place to stay first, and you can meet us when the time comes," Lin Jiuniang ordered.

The information here must be collected as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too passive.

When it comes to asking for information, Lin Tao is the most suitable person.

The most important thing is that this town is full of weirdness.

Lin Tao did not refuse, and ordered Lin Dong and the others to protect Lin Jiuniang, then turned and left.

Lin Jiuniang glanced at the town plaque again, turned around and walked towards the town.

I have to say that this town is really very different from other towns.

Other towns are very lively.

But here, it's very deserted.

This is the busiest time, but it is extremely deserted here.

All the shop owners were sitting listlessly in front of their shops.

Even when they passed by and there was business to be done, they didn't even look at them, let alone ask for business.

weird!

There is a strange color everywhere here.

"Ms. Lin, be careful, there may be problems in this town," Lin Dong said with a vigilant look.

Lin Jiuniang nodded.

She is not an ignorant novice who just came out to hang out, so how could she not see the weirdness here.

Just when they were working hard, the sound of children laughing and playing suddenly came from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of children in rags and short stature appeared not far from them.

At the same time, these children were laughing and moving towards them.

Because of the laughter and play of these children, the whole town instantly gained a lot of business.

Because of these children, everyone felt relaxed.

Therefore, when they rushed past them, they didn't take it to heart.

He even took out some food he had on him and handed it to them.

What bad thoughts can a child have?

After these children passed by, Lin Jiuniang was going to go to the inn in front to book a few rooms and stay for a few days.

After all, places like inns, restaurants, and teahouses are the easiest places to get information.

Maybe they can gain something when they get to the inn.

Soon, Lin Jiuniang led Lin Dong and others to find the only inn in the town - Yuelai Inn.

Lin Jiuniang shook her head, there was really no comparison between Yuelai Inn and Yunlai Inn.

No matter how you look at this shabby store, it doesn't look like an inn.

But apart from here, there are no other inns in this town.

Lin Jiuniang could only lead people inside.

As soon as she arrived at the counter, before she could speak, the innkeeper had already spoken lazily:

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, there are not so many guest rooms, please go out."

Lin Dong frowned, "Four rooms, four rooms is enough."

The shopkeeper looked up and said, "Yes!"

"How many days will we stay?"

Lin Dong looked at Lin Jiuniang, and after seeing her nodding, he said:

"Stay here for five days."

The innkeeper looked at the waiter on the side and said, "Go and clean up the four rooms on the east side."

Then start tapping quickly on the abacus.

"One room is five taels of silver a day, four rooms is twenty taels a day, five days is one hundred taels, and you have to pay extra for meals."

Lin Dong opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face:

"Grab money!"

It's so expensive. Even if you go to the capital to stay in a high-quality room for a day, it won't cost you much.

In a remote town, an ordinary guest room costs five taels of silver.

"Yes, it's just a money grab. I can't live with my love," the innkeeper said as if he was seeing off the guests.

Then he looked at the waiter who had already reached the second floor and shouted loudly:

"When you come back, you don't have to clean it up. They can't afford it."

After saying that, I just lay down on the counter, looking like I didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

Lin Dong was slightly angry, is there anyone doing business like this?

He was about to get angry, but when he saw Lin Jiuniang shaking her head at him, she immediately said with a straight face:

"Stay, even though we can't stay anymore?"

The shopkeeper stood up again and stretched out his hand:

"A total of two hundred taels."

Lin Dong's eyes widened with disbelief on his face:

"Isn't it one hundred taels? Why two hundred taels."

The innkeeper was finally willing to give Lin Dong one more look, but the meaning of that look was very clear, contempt.

Lin Dong is angry.

Gritting his teeth again:

"reason!"

He decided that if the reason was not justified, he would demolish this shabby inn directly.

It's a shabby place and costs two hundred taels to stay for a few days.

"First time here?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Dong, and after he nodded, he looked sarcastic:

"No wonder I don't understand anything."

Then he asked the waiter on the side to introduce them, and he lay back on the counter again, looking indifferent.

The waiter smiled:

“Sir, you get what you pay for.

By living here, you are accepting our protection. Of course, our protection comes with money.

Usually it’s your house price, so our shopkeeper charges you two hundred taels, no problem at all.”

Lin Dong was stunned. He had never heard of this before. This was clearly a trick to them.

Lin Dong was not willing to be taken advantage of, so he said with a straight face:

"We all know a few tricks and don't need your protection."

The waiter shook his head, "No, you will need it.

Because when you enter here, you will be protected by our boss.

With the protection of our boss, no one in Shanluo Town would dare to bully you. So, think to yourself, is this a good deal?

Of course, you don’t need our boss’s protection, so you can leave without sending me away.”

Lin Dong distorted, this was clearly forced buying and selling, an act of banditry.

He wanted to teach someone a lesson, but was stopped by Lin Jiuniang.

Lin Jiuniang glanced at the shopkeeper next to her, shook her head and said:

"Lin Dong, that's enough, pay for it.

It’s only two hundred taels, we live here, don’t let others laugh at us.”

"Yes," Lin Dong reached for the money reluctantly.

He felt that this store must be a scam.

And the people who were deceived were them.
