Chapter 140 It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in the world

"Boom~"

The wooden door panel shook but did not open.

The door has been blocked by wooden bolts from the inside, and outsiders cannot enter.

Mo Lin felt a little anxious. He walked back to his room, found a wooden stick and used his thin wrist to stick it through the crack in the door and open the wooden bolt.

In ancient times, the door of an inn was so simple that anyone could open it. Therefore, the inn was full of people, and dignitaries would always bring their guards and servants to guard them when staying in the inn.

"Creak~"

The wooden door was pushed open, and a burst of white mist came in front of him. Mo Lin waved his hand to sweep away the mist, closed the door and called softly: "Young Master, Young Master!"

The room was quiet, not a sound was heard.

Mo Lin thought to himself that the young master was sleeping? He walked towards the bed with gentle steps.

However, after taking just a few steps, his feet suddenly bumped into something and he tripped and fell to the ground.

"Ouch", he fell to the ground.

But when he lowered his head, he found that underneath him was an extremely thick snake lying on the ground, tripping him up.

Mo Lin was frightened for a moment and said in horror, "Snake! Snake!"

He hurriedly got up and was about to run outside, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, "Where is the young master? Young Master! Young Master! Where are you?"

A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Mo Lin's mind. Could it be that the young master was swallowed by the giant python on the ground?

His face was full of fear and uneasiness, but his hands and feet were trembling and he turned around to look at the giant python on the ground.

"Hoo~"

Under the vast white mist, the giant python suddenly raised its body and crawled over. Its thick body wrapped around Mo Lin, and then opened its mouth on him.

Mo Lin screamed in fear, his struggling hands stopped suddenly, his eyes rolled back and he passed out.

White Snake let go of his body, shook his head a few times, crawled to the ground again, twisted his body and gradually transformed into a human form.

At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, the sun is receding and the yin is advancing, and the Dragon Boat Festival has passed.

Bai Jin stretched his waist, smoothed his long hair, and waved his sleeves, and the white mist in the room cleared away.

He also found Mo Lin lying on the ground...

Looking down at the handsome young man lying on the ground, Bai Jun was stunned.

He stretched out his hand to feel his breath, then raised his wrist to check his pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not dead, otherwise he would not have the magical power and human connections like Bai Suzhen.

Bai Jun thought for a while, then sent Mo Lin back to his room, took out a silver needle and pricked the Shenque point and other acupuncture points a few times, then walked out of his room and closed the door.

He stood outside the door, waited for three breaths, and then pushed the door open and entered.

"Creak~"

Mo Lin heard the sound of the door opening, subconsciously opened his eyes and saw the young master walking towards him. He quickly got up from the bed and said with a smile: "Young Master."

"What time has it been? Why are you still sleeping?" Bai Jun asked with a calm expression.

"Ah, well, maybe I was tired from playing at noon and took a long nap." Mo Lin said sheepishly, rubbing his head.

"Okay, let's have a good rest. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. I don't want you to study. Prepare to pack your things. We will set off tomorrow and continue our journey." Bai Jun said calmly behind his hands.

"Oh, are we on our way now?"

"Why, haven't you had enough fun?" Bai Jun said with a smile, "Then how many more days are you going to stay here?"

Mo Lin suddenly thought of the nightmare just now, shook his head crazily and said: "Ah, no need. I'll leave tomorrow!"

Bai Jun nodded and walked out leisurely.

Mo Lin rubbed his head and remembered that dream. A white snake so thick was wrapped around his body that he could swallow it in one bite with his mouth open.

It's terrible.

But how could he have such a nightmare because he was so good? He shook his head and thought no more. Maybe today is the Dragon Boat Festival. I heard that snakes are afraid of this day.

Bai Jun curled his lips slightly, and the matter was over. The highest level of making up lies is to let the other party make up lies for himself.

At dawn the next day, after packing his things, Mo Lin carried a small book basket, which contained Bai Jun's crane feather fan, his long flute, Merlin's Four Treasures of the Study, some books and his clothes.

Bai Jun was relaxed and Mo Lin was carrying a book basket, just like a scholar and his little book boy who came to Beijing to take the exam.

When we came downstairs, the waiter smiled and said, "Sir, has your account been settled?"

Bai Jun nodded, "We should do the math and see how much silver there is."

"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!" The waiter hurriedly ushered the shopkeeper with a smile on his face to settle the accounts.

"Pah...pah..."

The crisp sound of the abacus beads rang out, and the shopkeeper's fingers were playing with them very fast, just like playing with beads with delicate hands, up and down, horizontally and vertically, a set of movements was done smoothly and in one go.

"Haha, sir, you have stayed in our hotel for a total of seventeen days. There are two upper rooms. The price of one room per day is two hundred and thirty cents... Including the carriage feed and the cost of the land, all in all.

The total is fifteen taels, so I’ll give you a preferential price, and I’ll give you a benefit of fifteen taels!”

"Fifteen taels!" Mo Lin said in shock, "How can it be so expensive? Isn't this a black shop here? There's no way it cost fifteen taels or six on the 17th!"

"Hey, guest, you can't say this nonsense. Our Fulai Inn has been in business for thirty-eight years. Our prices are fair, we are honest, and we are favored by businessmen. We have always been a famous restaurant in Qing Dynasty.

." The shopkeeper's expression changed and he said in an unhappy tone.

"you!"

Mo Lin was so angry that he wanted to speak and argue, but Bai Jun raised his hand to stop him. He just chuckled and said: "The shopkeeper, did you make a mistake in your calculation?"

Facing the aristocratic Bai Jun, the shopkeeper still said politely: "Dear guest, please don't be angry. Old man, I guarantee with my many years of reputation that my calculation is absolutely correct. Your daily meals are all the best wine and food at Fulai Inn."

, if counted separately, a plate of flower-flavored fried chicken would cost hundreds of yuan..."

"Well, since the shopkeeper has said so, I believe in the reputation of Fulai Inn." Bai Jun interrupted the other party's eloquence with a bunch of professional words, "I believe that there is a god who raises his head three feet high.

The shopkeeper wouldn’t dare to do such disreputable things!”

"Haha, that's what the guest said!" The shopkeeper smiled with a fat smile on his face, and his face was full of kindness.

Bai Jin took out a piece of gold from the pouch on his sleeve and said, "The shopkeeper will look at the change."

"Hey~ This... this is gold!" The shopkeeper's eyes were shocked and he stared at the piece of gold. He took the gold with trembling hands. The waiter on the side was stunned. He had never seen such a big piece of gold in his life.

There's gold!

Mo Lin was also shocked. He knew that his young master was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich!

Although one tael of gold can only be exchanged for ten taels of silver, there is not much gold on the market. If gold does appear, it is in the form of golden beans, golden melon seeds, or women's jewelry.

The shopkeeper took out the scale, put the piece of gold on the scale tray, carefully moved the scale hammer, little by little, and weighed it carefully seven or eight times before he dared to say: "Your Majesty,

Your gold is thirty-five taels, which is equivalent to thirty-five taels of silver. Excluding the fifteen taels of silver, I should give you twenty taels in return!"

Bai Jun nodded and said, "Let's change it to a banknote from Baofeng Bank. It's easier to carry."

Baofeng Bank is a bank located all over the Jin Dynasty. As long as you hold a banknote, you can exchange silver coins wherever you go, and you can even buy things directly.

Baofeng Bank is a bank jointly established by the royal family and the Lu family. Although the royal family accounts for 60% of the profits, only 40% of the profits are enough to make countless businessmen excited.

After all, there are currently only three general banks in Dajin, which also represents the top power of Dajin.

The shopkeeper smiled hurriedly and said: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment and I will pick it up for you personally!"

After saying that, he ordered the waiter: "Have a good reception!" and then walked to the warehouse.

After a while, he walked out with twenty taels of silver notes and handed them to Bai Jun with a smile on his face.

Bai Jun looked at it, nodded and took Mo Lin out.

When the shopkeeper saw Bai Jun leaving, he felt extremely greedy. He had just done something secretly. The gold was worth more than forty taels, but he had deducted a few taels from it.

The young man in white seemed to be too rich, but he was not an ordinary person either. He was a little hesitant in his heart whether to do it again or not.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, his greed still prevailed. After all, he only brought a little book boy with him, and he didn't seem to have any internal strength. He also had a huge amount of money and dared to leak it at will. Isn't this right?

A young man who has been away from home?

The shopkeeper got up and walked to the backyard. When he came to Maguili, he found a groom who was feeding the guests' horses. He whispered in his ear: "Zhang Wu, the red horse carriage has been marked. Go and tell them.

This vote is huge, I want 50% afterward!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wu nodded silently and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

His heart was numb, and he could only pray secretly that the poor man would listen to his advice and avoid this disaster.

When Zhang Wu left a mark on each carriage, he would also place a peach walnut by the window inside the carriage, and he would also carefully and implicitly remind the guests when taking away the horses.

Zhang Wu silently walked out of Fulai Inn, rode a horse out of the city, stopped at the city gate, and threw five copper coins at the feet of a beggar.

The beggar thanked him gratefully, and after he left, he put away his bowl and left quietly.
