After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he carved a flame mark on a stone next to the door of the house in front of him.
Then, he knocked on the door of that house for a while.
After a while, the door of that house was opened.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a man in his forties walking out of the door, dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes.
From the looks of it, it must be a farming family.
The man first looked up and down to see how Wu Zhi and Pan Jinlian looked and dressed, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Before he could open his mouth, Wu Zhi told him the reason for his late night visit.
When the man heard that the two people in front of him wanted to stay overnight, he immediately frowned.
Just when he was about to refuse, he saw Wu Zhi take out a bright dagger from his arms with a smile on his face.
Such an action immediately startled the man.
Then his body jerked back, almost tripping over the threshold of his home.
Just as he was about to shout for help, Wu Zhi's next words came one after another.
"Brother, it's almost late at night. Due to various reasons, we, the couple, couldn't find a suitable inn to stay."
"That's why I came here to disturb you."
"I have one hundred taels of gold here, which covers the accommodation expenses for the next few days for both of us."
"I hope this brother can make it easier."
At this time, the man was completely confused.
I can't help but think to myself, do you think I am blind?
The thing in your hand is clearly a shining dagger.
At this moment, you still lied to me and said it was a hundred taels of silver?
Your ability to tell lies with your eyes open is truly unparalleled.
The man's move also stunned Wu Zhi, who was holding a dagger.
And when he lowered his head and looked at his hands, he immediately burst out laughing.
It turned out that when he said those words just now, he was also thinking about his plan after meeting Shi Qian and his group.
Then, he took out this thing unexpectedly.
Originally, he wanted to take out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket.
However, because of his multitasking, he took out something.
Isn't this embarrassing?
At this moment, if it had been a timid farming man, he would have screamed and scurried away.
But the man, I don't know if he was frightened or what, was leaning against the wall trembling all over, unable to say a word.
Wu Zhi smiled awkwardly at the man.
Then, he stuffed the shining dagger back into his arms.
Instead, he took out the hundred taels of silver that he had prepared in advance, and raised his hand at the man, motioning for him to come and get it.
But that man was already blinded by this.
The brain is a mess.
I don't know what the couple wanted to do when they visited late at night.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhi originally wanted to stay with another family.
But then he thought again, no!
Tonight, except this one, no other family can stay.
If the family went to the government to report the crime early the next morning, wouldn't Wu Zhi's whereabouts be exposed?
Thinking of this, Wu Zhi no longer hesitated.
Take the first step and enter the door of that house.
Then, he stuffed the hundred taels of silver in his hand into the man's arms.
At this time, Pan Jinlian was also very smart. When she saw the man, she had no objection and turned around to close the door.
At this time, although the man held a hundred taels of silver in his arms, he was at a loss in his heart.
After sitting blankly in the corner for a long time, an idea suddenly came to my mind.
Are these so-called husband and wife bandits pretending to be strongmen, or are they truly kind people?
Me, why can’t I understand?
After the three of them entered the hall, Wu Zhi briefly stated his check-in requirements.
If he and Pan Jinlian live here within three days, then this hundred taels of silver will be the food and accommodation expenses of the couple.
If the couple stayed here for more than three days, then every three days, Wu Zhi would offer a hundred taels of silver as their expenses here.
During the time the couple lived here.
If it involves buying vegetables and food, etc., it must be done by the hostess here, and she can only go there alone.
During this period, Wu Zhi will entertain the male host here well, and the entertainment will not end until the hostess comes back.
In addition, the male and female owners of the place and others are not allowed to go out at will.
When the man heard Wu Zhi's series of bizarre requests, he immediately became nervous.
As long as this person is not stupid, he can guess the identity of the couple in front of him. It is definitely not easy.
Either he came out of the bandit's strongman's den, or he was a wanted criminal wanted by the court.
Although if you report the matter between the couple to the government, you can get a lot of money immediately.
But this man also knows that when the time comes, he will probably lose his life.
Next, in order to relieve the man's nervousness, Wu Zhi chatted with him in random ways.
Of course, Wu Zhi's purpose for doing this was not only to dispel the anxiety in the man's heart as much as possible, but also to find out the details of this family.
After this question, Wu Zhi's previous guess was indeed confirmed.
This family's surname is Jin, and the man in front of me is the second eldest son in the family, so people who are familiar with him call him Jin Lao Er.
He is a conscientious farming man.
When Wu Zhi learned the news from Jin Laoer, he immediately felt no worries at all.
By this time, it was already late at night.
Wu Zhi and his wife were already sleepy after working hard all night.
That Jin Lao Er originally wanted to arrange for Wu Zhi and his wife to stay in the innermost wing.
However, he was rejected by Wu Zhi.
He first asked Jin Lao Er and his wife to move into the innermost wing.
He and Pan Jinlian lived in the hall.
After hurriedly asking for two quilts from Jin Laoer, Wu Zhi and Pan Jinlian slept peacefully in the hall.
Early the next morning.
After having breakfast, Wu Zhi came to the second floor early and opened the window.
Looking at the city gate, the crowds of people kept pouring into the city, searching for traces of Shi Qian and his party.
Wu Zhi repeated this action trajectory in the next two days.
As for the second brother Jin, seeing Wu Zhi's strange behavior, although he was very confused in his heart, at this moment, he neither dared to say nor ask.
I can only pray silently in my heart that these two mysterious figures should leave here as soon as possible.
If these two people stayed in his house for a long time, who knows what would happen.
